A month has passed, and it is already the end of October on the plateau. Biting cold winds have begun to blow, and the temperature has dropped very quickly. Although it has not snowed yet, the temperature has dropped to about zero degrees. The sky is gray,
According to experienced herdsmen, it won't be long before it snows heavily. The third company has also begun preparations for the winter, accumulating fodder, reinforcing houses and fortifications, preparing ammunition and food supplies, etc.
Once it snows, it will be difficult to transport subsequent supplies. At least until March of next year, when the ice and snow melt, supplies will flow again. Therefore, before the snow falls, the third company has enough reserves of various supplies, including
Ammunition! Although, in winter, the activities of the horse bandits and the Ma family army in the north will also be greatly affected and restricted. Generally speaking, no large-scale battles will break out. But, be prepared! Reserve more supplies.
It is still very necessary.
"Awei, how are all the supplies prepared now?" Wang Yuze asked, standing on a five-meter-high tower next to the gate of the military station. This tower is an important defense fortification. A Maxim is erected here.
Water-cooled heavy machine gun. Once an enemy attacks, the Maxim heavy machine gun with a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute will definitely be their grave.
"Company Commander, after this month of rush transportation, all kinds of materials have been stored. Forage and food are enough to last the entire company until April next year. In addition, 5 bases of ammunition have been stored, which is enough to support a high-intensity battle.
We're fighting!" Wang Wei replied. In the Western Sichuan Army, a basic amount of ammunition, if it is a cavalry, represents two hundred rounds. A heavy machine gun represents 10,000 rounds of ammunition. When the heavy machine gun fires, the bullets are shot out rapidly.
Forming a metal barrage requires a lot of bullets. Therefore, the ammunition base of the heavy machine gun is much larger than that of the cavalry. The artillery represents 120 rounds of artillery shells. The third company now has two 60 mm caliber mortars.
artillery, three 37mm caliber mortars, if added together, there are a total of 600 rounds of artillery shells. In the past month, just transporting these ammunition, the officers and soldiers of the third company have spent a lot of time. It can be said that,
Except for the daily soldiers left behind, all the rest were involved in the transportation of ammunition and supplies.
"Well! That's good! This is the first time for the two of us to lead an army, so we can't make any mistakes!" Wang Yuze nodded.
"Company Commander, in the villages outside the military station, the herdsmen who went out to graze have returned. However, the herdsmen returning from the north reported that they seemed to have found traces of horse bandits two hundred miles north of us!"
Wang Wei said with some worry. The winter on the plateau is very sad. The herdsmen need to store a lot of fodder and food to survive the winter. The horse bandits also need to make preparations so that they can survive the cold winter smoothly. This makes them
We need to grab enough cattle, sheep, fodder, etc. before it snows.
In the grasslands, there are always a lot of horse bandits active, and they are constantly banned. Although the Western Sichuan Army has intensified its crackdown on horse bandits within the territory, these horse bandits often infiltrate from outside Western Sichuan. The policy of Western Sichuan
, which has greatly changed the lives of the herdsmen in Western Sichuan, and naturally they have become the primary robbery target of the horse bandits. However, the strength of the Western Sichuan Army, especially the 10th Brigade, launched a devastating attack on these horse bandits.
A devastating blow. Countless horse bandits die every year at the gunfire of the Western Sichuan Army. At the same time, many horse bandits do not grab enough supplies for the winter. What does this mean? They themselves know it very well. Once there is not enough
Without enough supplies, they would not be able to survive the harsh winter. Therefore, grabbing enough supplies before the snow started to fall became their primary goal.
Hearing the traces of the horse bandits' activities, Wang Yuze was also frightened. Although he had never seen the horse bandits, he also knew the ferocity of these horse bandits. The horse bandits passed through the border like locusts, leaving no grass behind. All cattle and sheep property
, all were robbed, and all the old, weak, sick and disabled were killed. Young and strong men would die if they did not join them. Women, on the other hand, became their playthings and suffered a very miserable end.
"Notify the posts in the north and ask them to strengthen their alert. Once they find traces of the horse bandits, they will report back immediately. However, they are not allowed to fight head-on with the horse bandits. They must conserve their strength. At the same time, let each platoon strengthen their alert. Once the horse bandits attack,
, we must repel them!" Wang Yuze said loudly. He vaguely felt that this winter might not be easy! Gasangka, where dozens of herdsmen families gathered and had tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, seemed to have become a
This is a piece of fat in the eyes of the horse bandits. If this place can be looted, it will be very easy for the horse bandits to survive this cold winter. However, the third company is not easy to mess with. The machine guns and
Cannons are not fire sticks. Once the horse bandits attack, they will definitely be bruised and bloody.
"Yes, company commander. I'll go make arrangements right away!" Wang Wei nodded and immediately went down to make arrangements. He also knew the urgency of the matter. Once the horse bandits attacked in large numbers, if the third company was not prepared in time, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
A big loss. This is undoubtedly a very big stain for Wang Yuze. Therefore, Wang Wei will never allow such a thing to happen.
Watching Wang Wei's leaving figure, Wang Yuze felt a little heavy in his heart. He seemed to have felt a feeling of dark clouds. However, he was not afraid. Although it was a threat, it also meant military exploits and opportunities.
"Come on! Horse bandits, use your blood and lives to create my glory!" Wang Yuze shouted in his heart.
In Chengdu at the end of October, autumn has already entered. After the beginning of autumn, there is also a bit of coolness. However, this is not related to the cold. With the obstruction of the Qinba Mountains, the cold air is difficult to affect the Sichuan Basin, making the Sichuan Basin
The temperature is generally higher in winter, and even in winter, the temperature rarely drops below zero.
While inspecting the ambassador's office, Wang Xiao and Wang Quan were sitting opposite each other in Wang Xiao's office. Wang Xiao held a briefing in his hand, with a smile on his lips, and he was obviously in a very good mood.
After a long while, Wang Xiao put down the briefing in his hand. "It seems that Yuze did a good job in the 10th Brigade! To be able to control the troops in such a short time, his two years at the Army Academy were obviously not in vain!" Wang Xiao
He said with a smile. Wang Yuze took the opportunity to get rid of the first and second platoon commanders and control the third company. Although his method was a bit immature, in Wang Xiao's view, it was already very difficult. Regarding Wang Yuze's performance, Wang Xiao also
Very satisfied.
"Yes! The young master did a good job. However, it will snow soon on the plateau, and the environment will be very bad! According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the horse bandits on the plateau have been suppressed very hard this year.
, I'm afraid he will jump over the wall in a hurry! In addition, Ma Jiajun is also a little restless, I'm afraid the young master will be in danger!" Wang Quan said with some worry.
"How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain! I believe Yuze will be fine and will do well!" Wang Xiao said with certainty, and he also believed in Wang Yuze.
Wang Quan nodded, but he made up his mind to say hello to the commander of the 10th Brigade. He couldn't let anything happen to Wang Yuze! Wang Yuze was the future of Western Sichuan. If something happened, then Western Sichuan would be the future.
Why don't you mess up?
For more than a month, the war machine of the Western Sichuan Army has been operating at full speed. The troops have been speeding up their equipment changes. The 7th Brigade stationed in Bazhong and the 2nd Division stationed in Chongqing have begun military preparations. Follow-up
The troops have also begun to assemble, looking like a battle is about to begin.
This change of the Western Sichuan Army was easily discovered by the spies of the Qing court, and they quickly reported it back. Suddenly, the Qing court became very nervous. Although there had been peace with Western Sichuan for more than ten years, they still did not
Dare to forget the strength of the Western Sichuan Army. The changes of the Western Sichuan Army frightened the Qing court. All the 100,000 new troops under Zhang Zhidong, the Governor of Huguang, had begun to assemble to prepare to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army. At the same time, Li Hongzhang, the Governor-General of Zhili
Xinshu is also ready at any time. If the war goes south, he will immediately go south to provide support.
