Across the Sea Chapter 6 Wuhu Reorganization

The newly formed troops were busy, and the dock was also busy. Fang Jianxiong calculated the time and arrived at the ship continuously in the past few days. There were six ships of cargo before and after, two of which brought back heavy artillery and Qingdao trainees, and one was loaded with goods from Ma'anshan.

The equipment needed, and the remaining three ships were all munitions from Shanghai. For this day, more than half of Fang Jianxiong's net worth was spent.

The quality of the newly formed army is definitely not as good as the veterans of the Beiyang Army who have been there for many years, so they can only spend more on equipment.

In Fang Jianxiong's view, this is an era of fighting for strength. The quarrels over the government in Anqing all day long seem ridiculous to Fang Jianxiong. The big guys are lying down in Zhangde, Henan, and are about to leave.

There is a busy crowd outside Wuhu City, with new troops being formed every day. These guys who went out to join the bandits are very capable. It took less than a year to get so many people back. Fang Jianxiong asked how many "bandits"

Boss, it turns out that the answers of these guys are exactly the same. During the Chinese New Year, floods continue to occur in Anhui Province, south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River. Only around Wuhu is better.

These recruited soldiers don't sound good. If they hadn't become "bandits", they would have died in a ditch. It seems that the loyalty of these soldiers is not a problem at all. After a period of training, the basic qualities of these recruits have improved.

It's okay, but the cultural level is too low. It's okay to shoot guns and bombs, but there is basically no possibility for technical troops.

Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong had made adequate preparations. It turned out that when recruiting soldiers for the patrol battalion, educated people were given priority and the treatment was good. In addition, each company was assigned cultural instructors, so the soldiers in the original unit had compulsory literacy effects.

Out.

The second batch of teaching team members graduated early. These more than 100 grassroots officers played a big role. After promoting some outstanding soldiers from the original soldiers, the grassroots officers of the two divisions were basically enough. There are still more soldiers, all

Become a pure infantry security group.

Jianxiong spent a lot of money on equipment. Each division is affiliated with a 75mm artillery regiment, one artillery regiment with two battalions, and one battalion with three companies. There are no six artillery batteries. One division has two brigades. Each brigade is affiliated with an artillery battalion, and the equipment

It is a 37-gun, which is basically the same equipment as the First Division in Anqing. Fang Jianxiong has no intention of being biased, and there are only a few troops now. The biggest difference between the two places is that the troops in Wuhu have an additional special unit.

Snipers. They are usually trained separately, and each company sends two during the war. The guns are modified from k98. Unfortunately, there are not many k98s in stock. They can only be equipped with the second division, and other troops still use the improved version of 1888.

Can fire pointed projectiles.

The most special one among them is the guard regiment of Leng Yu. This regiment consists of four battalions, including a machine gun battalion, mules and horses, equipped with a company of 82 mortars and 60 mortars. All infantry are

As for submachine guns, Fang Jianxiong's fortune was wiped out by him. The close-combat salvo firepower of such a regiment can withstand that of an infantry division.

However, Fang Jianxiong can only support such a regiment. If there are too many, it will go bankrupt. Wuhu reorganization is in Fang Jianxiong's mind. The most important point is to set up a life guidance officer, referred to as the guidance officer, in the company-level unit! The role of this guidance counselor is mainly

He was in charge of daily life, even if anyone had difficulties, he would take charge of it. This position may seem a bit nondescript, but it will indeed play an important role in the future army.

Wuhu reorganization. Fang Jianxiong's military team was determined.

After Anqing was powered on, there was surprisingly no movement from Jiangning. They actually had no intention of coming to attack Wuhu. Instead, they retreated into the city and transferred the unit from Ninth Town, which had a criminal record, to Ziling Pass and confiscated the bullets.

October 23. Ma Yubao, the 53rd leader of the Jiujiang New Army, rebelled. Jiujiang was restored and Ma Yubao became the governor. Fang Jianxiong was greatly distressed after hearing the news. He stared at Jiujiang on the map in the office and kept muttering. Madang and Hukou

The fortress was stuck on the neck of the Yangtze River, and this guy actually took action first.

"Hey! If I had known that I would take action first, we can't have the revolutionary army fighting the revolutionary army now, right?" When Fang Jianxiong was feeling sorry for himself, two division commanders came. Due to the lack of senior military personnel, Fang Jianxiong could only let two German guys serve as the third division commander.

Second, the commander of the third division. These two German second lieutenants actually have this day. They have been walking with wind these days. Their motivation is really amazing!

"Sir, the heavy artillery brigade is pulled by mules and horses, which is too wasteful. Why not use cars?" Jensen shouted as he came in. Cheng Zhixuan's heavy artillery brigade is now the treasure of the entire army. It is equipped with 24 105 howitzers and 24 150 howitzers. From now on,

To fight a tough battle, we all rely on the heavy artillery brigade.

After being reminded, Fang Jianxiong pulled out of his sorrow and nodded: "I will have someone send a telegram to Fisher. In addition, wireless telegraphy will also be introduced in large quantities."

While talking, Fang Jianxiong explained to Master Shi, who was also from Shaoxing and Li Muyan's hometown. After the explanation, Fang Jianxiong walked out and said to the two of them: "Let's go to the heavy artillery brigade to see how the training of your two divisions is going.

?”

Jensen shrugged and said: "The quality of the soldiers can only be considered tolerable, but these soldiers can endure hardships in training. I believe they will become excellent soldiers."

The heavy artillery brigade is stationed on the edge of Wuhu City, and Fang Jianxiong can arrive in less than five minutes. The military camp is in full swing for training, and with the 150 people trained by the German army, the formation of the heavy artillery brigade is relatively smooth.

The training was mainly about operational procedures. After watching it for a while, Jenson was very dissatisfied and said: "Why don't you fire a few rounds of live ammunition and see?"

Fang Jianxiong felt distressed after hearing this: "You are so light, but the current manufacturing bureau cannot make large-caliber grenades. A 105 shell costs 200 silver dollars. This money is not yours, right?"

Jen Sen shut up in time, and Fang Jianxiong looked around with a headache, but he didn't see Cheng Zhixuan bringing anyone to see the chief.

Just as he was thinking about it, Cheng Zhixuan and his subordinates came out. After coming to see the ceremony, Cheng Zhixuan reported excitedly: "Sir, this artillery brigade can be sent out to fight after a few days of training. I guarantee that it will not delay your important event."

Fang Jianxiong sighed: "The preparations were not sufficient at the beginning. The manufacturing bureau didn't know when it would be able to produce large-caliber grenades. If a soldier doesn't fire a few rounds of live ammunition, he won't get war diarrhea."

Cheng Zhixuan's face turned dark after hearing this, but she didn't dare to refute. Fang Jianxiong waved his hands helplessly and said: "I will give some blood and issue fifty rounds of artillery shells. They have to be loaded with live ammunition, otherwise the soldier will be frightened and pee when he hears the sound of the artillery."

Already."

Cheng Zhixuan liked hearing this, and the Sunzi gang in the warehouse had hard-hearted hearts and refused to give them any shells.

Just as he was saying this, a messenger came to report that Shaanxi had been liberated, and after Anhui and Hunan, another province announced its recovery.

"Zhixuan, you must train your troops by the end of this month at the latest." Fang Jianxiong told him that he was going to the city. On the way, someone came to report that someone was at home.

When Fang Jianxiong returned home, Li Xiehe and Yin Ruizhi were waiting in the hall. When they saw Fang Jianxiong, they raised their hands and said, "Fuguo, I'm here to trouble you again."

"Brother Fu Guo, An Qing did a great job!" Yin Ruizhi was a little off topic and stepped forward with excitement on his face.

Both of these are from the Liberation Association, but they don't seem to match well.

"Sit down, where are you from?" Fang Jianxiong asked with a smile. Li Xiehe said: "We came from Wuchang. Governor Li Yuanhong asked us to go back to Shanghai and launch an uprising in response to Wuchang. He also asked me to bring you a letter.

"

Li Xiehe scooped out the letter, and Fang Jianxiong opened it. Li Yuanhong was very enthusiastic in his heart. He first highly praised Anhui's revolutionaries, and then talked about his difficulties. It was a reality that the Qing army's troops were pressing down on the border, and the Beiyang Army's six towns had gone to nearly four

, Wuchang is under great pressure. The newly formed troops are in short supply of equipment. It would be best for Fang Jianxiong to send troops to support them.

Revolutionaries should help each other, but these revolutionary parties do not regard themselves as outsiders.

"Mr. Mu Yan, I will read it and you will write it." Fang Jianxiong said in front of the two of them while pacing and thinking: "Jun Jian, the Governor of Li, has read the letter. The First Uprising in Wuchang revealed the new direction of the Chinese nation.

A chapter of prosperity and strength. History will remember the Wuchang Uprising, and history will remember October 10, 1911. The Governor of Li will also leave a mark in the annals of history. As for the response to Wuchang, I thought it was better to send troops to reinforce Wuchang.

Attack instead of defend. Our army has been reorganized and will launch an attack on Nanjing before the end of the month at the latest. Regardless of success or failure, it can greatly alleviate the pressure on Wuchang. At the same time, our army will set out from Anqing for the Northern Expedition, striving to reach Bengbu in a single battle. Once successful,

, when the two provinces respond to each other from east to west, the Qing army will not be able to take care of both..."

All in all, you don't need money, you don't need soldiers, you don't need guns, you have the Hanyang factory, you don't need me to worry about it.

Li Xiehe showed a bit of disappointment. Fang Jianxiong did not reinforce Wuchang, which was originally expected, but he still had some hope. Historically, Li Yuanhong had the idea of ​​​​taking Wuchang as the center of the revolution, and this man was very ambitious.

Fang Jianxiong didn't know much about history, but it didn't stop him from knowing that Li Yuanhong later did well and became president.

Fang Jianxiong doesn't have such a big mind when it comes to making wedding clothes for others.

"Brother Fu Guo, we are going back to Shanghai to launch an uprising!" Yin Ruizhi was still not angry. Fang Jianxiong felt his teeth ached. But after thinking about it, he decided to help them. The more places causing trouble at this time, the safer Fang Jianxiong's place would be.

"I also have a batch of arms reserves in my warehouse at the Shanghai dock. There are about 500 rifles and 50,000 rounds of ammunition. I'll write you a note. You go to Lihe & Company to find Mr. Victor, and he will arrange it.

." Fang Jianxiong decided to draw blood one last time.

He personally put these two men on the boat. Fang Jianxiong was about to leave when the guards stopped the two men and shouted loudly: "Is Mr. Fang in front? We are from Nanjing and we have something urgent to see you."

The visitor was brought forward, and he cupped his hands and said, "Yang Yanchang, the leader of the Ninth Town, a member of the alliance, has met Brother Fuguo."

"Another member of the Tongmenghui! You don't call me "sir" when you meet me, are you still a soldier?" Fang Jianxiong secretly felt unhappy, and said coldly: "Scoop it down!" (To be continued. If you like this work,
