August 23, 1940, south of Chongqing, on the Qijiang River

A small team composed of six small boats is sailing at high speed, on the day of getting these small boats, Wang Yue got things over, it is worth thanking, these small boats can come over, after a simple overhaul and familiarization, our new Qijiang County garrison commander Li Yunlong can't wait to drive his "water police boat" out, on the take-off and landing channel to spread joy.

This section of water in Qijiang County is the middle reaches of the Qijiang River, and the water depth is deep, so these boats with a draft of about one meter brought by Wang Yue can sail unscrupulously, and can even rush into the Yangtze River to Chongqing.

"Lao Li, where did you find so many sailors? Shouldn't it be the end of the Zhongba Naval Academy? Standing side by side with Li Yunlong at the bow of a 1124 patrol boat, Wang Yue couldn't help but ask curiously, in such a short time, not to mention that it was too late to win over people, even if it was too late to send people to find people?

"Brother Wang, you probably don't know that the Admiralty has two naval schools in this Sichuan Province, right? In addition to the Zhongba Naval School, there is also the Wanxian Naval School, and there is also a naval school in Tongzi, Guizhou Province to the south of us, so it is really not uncommon to say that naval talents in this area are really rare. Li Yunlong looked at the rows of wooden sailboats on the river, pretending to be mysterious.

"The navy is almost gone, and I have three naval schools, which is really ambitious." Wang Yue has both emotion and ridicule, sighing about the difficulty and persistence of his ancestors, and ridiculing the strange habits of the Chinese Navy, Nima, what's the situation, the officer's cafeteria is still providing Western food, and even the cooks are returning from studying abroad, just like that, where can we fight a good war.

Don't think that the Huaxia Navy doesn't even have a single warship now, in fact, at present, it is only a gunboat, and the Admiralty has at least 11 ships in its hands, including Chu Tong, Chu Qian, Chu Guan, Jiang Yuan, Yongsui, Minquan, Jiang Xi, Jiang Kun, Weining, Yining, Tongxin, Tongde, etc., although the total displacement is less than 5,000 tons, it is also a large force in the complex hydrological situation in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

"I can't go on, I heard that the Tongzi Naval School is too tight for funds, so I plan to cancel the original 'Qingdao Naval School' moved to Wanxian Naval School, this time I gave two hundred grassroots officers, of which about 100 are made up with naval cadets who have been trained for more than a year, these people are all sailors from the former Third Fleet, they have no background, and they have no experience in land warfare. Li Yunlong was a little proud, the Ministry of Military Affairs made it clear that it was to block himself, and a group of naval cadets who had no combat experience casually gave the rank of second lieutenant to fool themselves, but the Ministry of Military Affairs would never have thought that our old Li would get a warship in a few days, well, a "coast guard ship."

"Northeast Army? Wouldn't it, Lao Li, I think they're all young men? Wang Yueqi said, it has been almost ten years since the "918 Incident", and even the newly recruited child soldiers of the Third Fleet should be over 25 years old, but the sailors he has seen are generally only about 20 years old, and they are not like the Northeast Army.

"They are all the second generation of the Third Fleet, the fleet is gone, the children have nowhere to go, they are all stuffed into the school, I thought about spending a few years to see the changes, but I never thought that they would be cut off after only one year of school." Li Yunlong's mood was also a little complicated when he explained, this is the fate of the lost dog, just do it, can the military leaders below still preserve their strength? After the spelling is exhausted, I don't even leave incense for others.

"I see, Lao Li, you also have to step up the training of your own naval talents, I have a channel to get a large warship, and when the time comes, let's do a big deal together!" Wang Yue saw several small boats shuttling lightly on the river, and couldn't help but think of the big boat in Tasha's mouth again, maybe he could really use that boat to do something big.

"Then dare to be kind, I know the king, brother, you were born to do great things!" Li Yunlong listened to Wang Yue's words, and his heart was happy, this time Wang Yue in addition to the tank artillery, but also brought him an additional 500,000 grenades, although all the grenades do not have any logo, but the power is really good, not to mention the border area, even the Gongzao grenades are not comparable, and it is light and easy to use, it is simply specially built for Chinese soldiers.

"Lao Li, I haven't seen Captain Cheng several times, what is he busy with?" Wang Yue suddenly remembered Cheng Shifa, whom he hadn't met for a long time, and this time Cheng Shifa also became the colonel and deputy commander of the provisional 68th Division, but this guy seemed to have disappeared.

"Training troops, the superiors asked the provisional 68th Division to take advantage of the opportunity to recuperate and recuperate, and strive to build the troops into seed troops, the training intensity and cultural class density of the troops are twice as high as before, I have to attend classes every week, Lao Zhao has other things, so the training of the troops is generally Lao Cheng is busy, but there is good news, Ding Wei and Kong Jie are also coming!" Although the troops cannot be recruited in Sichuan Province casually, the provisional 68th Division already has a personnel of 8,000 people, and it can be regarded as a division at best, so in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops, Li Yunlong has transferred two more regimental-level cadres to help.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you're three regiments now." Wang Yue felt that the direction of this world was getting more and more crooked, how could the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province be brought to Qijiang County, isn't this equivalent to putting the three tiger generals in a cage?

"When the time comes, Ding Wei will be the colonel of the provisional 1000th Regiment, Kong Jie will be the colonel of the 1001st Provisional Regiment, Zhang Dabiao will be the lieutenant colonel of the provisional 1002nd Regiment, Wang Chengzhu will be the commander of the artillery battalion, Shen Quan will be the commander of the armored battalion, Xie Baoqing will be the commander of the search battalion, Lao Zhao will also be the commander of the teaching battalion, and Lao Tzu's provisional 68th Division will be considered complete." Li Yunlong rejoiced.

"Lao Li, do you have any ideas on the future artillery regiment in terms of equipment?" Wang Yue looked at Li Yunlong's resolute face, thinking about the big war that had started in North China, and felt a little sorry for this guy, his intervention made Li Yunlong's life more exciting, but it also deprived him of the opportunity to fight face-to-face with the devil.

"Brother Wang, I still want to ask for 12 more M1910 122mm howitzers, but whether it is the M1910 122mm gun or the F-10 1902/30 76.2mm field gun, the range is too close, once it rises to the division level of the operation, it will still be a loss." Li Yunlong opened his mouth a little embarrassed, in the final analysis, the artillery provided by Wang Yue was old from the First World War, and its performance was much worse, thanks to the fact that it was in the Asian battlefield, and it could only be beaten in Europe.

"Lao Li, you also know that artillery is not something you want, I have a long-range heavy artillery spot on the Xiangjiang side, but I don't know if you can use it here, and it's too expensive." Wang Yue wanted to speak and stopped, what he thought of was the B-4 M1931 203mm heavy howitzer, Tasha gave him a hundred at one time, this thing can be said to be active equipment in 2023, and it can often be seen in the news recently, but the weight of nearly sixteen tons is really not easy to use, and Wang Chengzhu's child may not be able to use it well.

"What cannon? Brother Wang, don't worry, as long as it's artillery, our Lao Li can use it! After listening to Wang Yue's words, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, there is a door!

"The B-4 M1931 203 mm heavy howitzer, with a range of nearly 18 kilometers, is the support firepower of the northern great army, and it is absolutely invincible on the battlefield in China, but it is too heavy, almost 16 tons, with the current transportation capacity and traffic situation in China, it is really not easy to use." Tasha didn't help Wang Yue with weapons, there are a lot of options, but the long-range artillery is either average in range, or it is not powerful, plus the limitations of the system, there are really not many to choose from, in other words, Maozi should have a lot of 152mm howitzers, why hasn't Tasha provided it?

Tasha: Actually, the old lady doesn't have the inventory of that thing in her hand for the time being, and she has pure profits to make, who is an intermediary to help others make money.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's nothing heavier, our Lao Li can carry the cannon to the war!" As soon as he heard the caliber of 203 mm, Li Yunlong felt that his whole person was excited.

"Lao Li, don't you ask the price?" Wang Yue smiled bitterly, this cannon is not cheap to buy by himself, if it is replaced with a 122mm or 76.2mm gun, one can be worth dozens of guns.

"It's not important, isn't there still Zhang Xianzhong's treasure? The superior has explained, and I will fully cooperate with you in this matter! Li Yunlong doesn't care, compared to militaristic weapons, money is actually not important, especially in wartime, in order to fight the little devils, it is worth paying any price.

"I'll help you think of a way, Lao Li, I suggest you report to your superiors first." Wang Yue reminded Li Yunlong.

"Report to the Commander, something isn't quite right with that fleet." At this time, a young officer wearing a second lieutenant uniform ran over, this is Geng Zhiguo, the captain of the Qijiang County Marine Police Force, and he heard Li Yunlong say that his ability is very good.

"What's wrong? Well? Interesting, intercept them! Hearing this, Li Yunlong also looked at a fleet not far away, five sailboats, more than a dozen boatmen, and a few gunners.

"Lao Li, what's wrong?" Wang Yueqi said, he has always had the ability to perceive danger, and he didn't find anything wrong, so when he asked Li Yunlong, he unconsciously scanned the boats with the system, and it didn't matter at a glance, the bottom compartment of these boats was actually densely packed with guns, and even machine guns.

"The empty fleet, the draft is so deep, there is no problem except for ghosts!" As he spoke, he pulled Li Yunlong into the bridge, the 1124 patrol boat is armored, no matter whether there will be a conflict or not, he must protect Wang Yue, this is an order from his superiors.

In just a few minutes, under the guns of the two 1124 patrol boats, the gunners in charge of escorting the ships surrendered one after another.

Some people died, but not completely......
