The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spn The sky is blue and blue, without a trace of variegation, as pure as washing.

The wind blows across the prairie as far as the eye can see, and the grass almost half the height of a person is swaying with the wind, and some gazelle and wild horses can be seen from time to time.

This is Liaoxi, Rehe!The territory controlled by Yuan Shikai.

But suddenly there was a roar of an engine in the distance, and I saw a troop driving a tricycle running on the grassland, followed by three military trucks.

Judging from the sign, it turned out to be the Northwest Defense Force. [

"Company commander, why is there no one around? Where are we going after this!"

This is a company of the Northwest National Defense Army that went deep into the western Liaoning area to chase down the horse bandits. The deputy company commander looked at the company commander Li Yifeng with a puzzled expression.

Li Yifeng belongs to the Third Division of the Northwest National Defense Army. Three days ago, he and another company chased a group of horse bandits from Chahar to Rehe.

I didn't expect this meeting but lost it.

Li Yifeng took out the map and said, "Our two companies chased alternately. With the horsepower of the horse bandits, we can't run far. It should be within this range."

As he spoke, Li Yifeng drew a circle with a radius of five kilometers on the map with a small compass.

"Contact the 3rd company immediately and ask them to search from the northeast to the southwest, and we will search from the southeast to the northwest." Li Yifeng decided.

"Yes."

The correspondents in the company quickly passed the plan to the 3rd company with a wire transmitter. After the two companies were in place, they began to search according to the plan.

When Li Yifeng led the company to search for more than 20 minutes, suddenly there was a violent gunshot.

A soldier found the horse bandit hiding in the grass. The horse bandit found the soldier first and shot the soldier in the chest with a bow and arrow. The submachine gun swept wildly at the horse bandits.

The horse bandit who immediately hid in the grass was beaten to the ground.

When others arrived, the soldier had already fallen to the ground.

"Medical soldier, medical soldier, quick, quick." Li Yifeng yelled at the back, and immediately two medical soldiers ran up to rescue the soldier on the spot.

Seeing that he was exposed, the horse bandit hiding in the grass blew a whistle, got on his horse and ran away again.

But they didn't run very far, and several tricycles quickly chased up from behind, and saw the machine gunners on the tricycles shooting at them violently.

The guns of the heavy machine gun shot out through the air, and the fleeing horse bandits fell off their horses one after another. The horses were shot to the ground, and the horse bandits rolled to the ground screaming miserably.

The horse bandits who lost their horses could no longer run on their legs.

Facing the National Defense Forces equipped with a large number of machine guns, those horse bandits had no way to escape.Tricycles and cars can run hundreds of kilometers at a stretch, and the speed is not slow. [

If the horses keep running at this speed, they will not be able to run very far at all, and their mobility is not as good as that of the National Defense Army.

The pursuit lasted for half an hour. Li Yifeng and the 3rd company who came over wiped out the horse bandits. The two companies immediately set up camp here and began to clean the battlefield.

"Is Xiao Wang okay?" Back at the camp, Li Yifeng asked the medical soldier.

"This kid has a lot of life. The arrow was blocked by him with a submachine gun. It shot towards the chest, and the force was much smaller. It didn't hit the internal organs. Just pull it out." The medical soldier laughed, "We have already He was given a blood transfusion, and anti-inflammatory drugs were used for the wound, he woke up just now, and now he fell asleep again."

"Hehe! That's good." Li Yifeng's expression relaxed.

The sky gradually dimmed, but the camp was suddenly attacked by mosquitoes.

"Damn it, the mosquitoes from the west of Liaoning can literally carry the whole person to eat. I can't take it anymore. No wonder there is no one in this damn place." Ye Qinghao, the commander of the 3rd company, sat in front of the bonfire, waving his hands frantically, Driving away the mosquitoes that kept pounced on his face.

Li Yifeng smiled, threw a piece of military uniform over, and said, "If you really can't take it, just hug your head!"

Ye Qinghao hurriedly wrapped his head like a Middle Easterner, and said, "Old Li, I heard that the commander-in-chief is going to carry out a large-scale construction in the northwest. Now the first phase of fifteen production corps has been built. I heard that some production corps are stationed It's worse than this kind of ghost place, what kind of tricks can this make?"

"Don't look at the people in this place, but look at the grass. Such good grass, as long as the cattle and sheep are pastured, it will become a large pasture. If the production corps' garrison is worse than here, it is probably..." Li Yifeng whispered to Ye Qinghao: "It is estimated that it is used to prepare for those students who come here in China. I heard that the first batch of more than 3000 students was forcibly recruited into the production corps."

"That will make them feel better, but those students really need to be treated well. If they have nothing to do all day long, they will go on strike, and they will also instigate workers to go on strike, and businessmen to go on strike, which will drag them down."

"Don't talk about this, this is not what we should pay attention to, we should hurry up!" Li Yifeng said as he took out a battalion-level combat command textbook and read it.

Ye Qinghao's face was bitter, and he said, "I get a headache when I read these books, but I still have to read them if I have a headache!"

Speaking of which, Ye Qinghao also found a textbook to read, and muttered: "God bless, let me suppress more bandits this time, and let me directly enter the Huai'an Military Academy. When the time comes, it will be better to have an instructor to teach me than to study on my own." That's a lot!"

"If you don't study now, when you enter the military academy, if you have to study for two or three years before graduating, you will lose your old face. There is a company commander in the fifth division. He has only been in Huai'an military academy for three months, and he succeeded. Graduated and became a battalion commander."

……

The most important task of the major military regions of the National Defense Forces in the Kuichou Year is to suppress bandits.

At this time, China was full of bandits, among which the northwest region was the hardest hit area, and there were more bandits in the southwest region, but they were not as ferocious as the horse bandits in the northwest.

There used to be as many bandits in the Shandong area, but after two years of joint campaigns, there was basically no banditry in the Shandong area at this time.

The bandits in Shandong have gone through multiple joint campaigns, and a militia network has been formed in Shandong, so the bandits in Shandong can no longer get along.

The bandits who can't get along can only go home and farm.

The bandits in the Huguang area were almost wiped out by Jiang Yu in the name of the Yangtze River patrol envoys. There were sporadic bandits in the Central Plains, but the Beiyang Army had also begun to suppress them locally. [

Bandits in the six provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, bandits in the Northwest, and bandits in the Northeast have become China's three major areas where banditry has not been eradicated.

Since June, anti-bandit troops of the National Defense Forces have successively entered Yunnan.

Officials in Yunnan have built up their prestige for a long time, and the peasants on the side of the road saw the mighty army passing by, and they all knelt on both sides of the road, fearing that they would be conscripted into labor.

Several German officers in the Wehrmacht brought a lot of things this time, and the road was a bit rough, so they called an honest farmer by the roadside to help carry the burden.

The farmer who was pointed out was called Lao Liang. He couldn't help but feel a sudden heartbreak, stood up and walked over with a bitter face, picked up his things and followed behind.

Yunnan officials all did this.

After walking seven or eight miles, the German officer found another farmer on the side, so that Lao Liang could go back.

Lao Liang put down his burden and was about to go back when suddenly the German officer grabbed Lao Liang and handed him three silver dollars.

This frightened Lao Liang half to death, he couldn't speak anymore, he quickly raised his hand and waved it vigorously, signaling that he didn't want money.The German officer was confused and asked in broken Chinese: "Isn't it enough?"

As he spoke, he took out another piece, but Lao Liang waved his hand vigorously.

"Then give me another piece! If there is more, there is no more." The German officer said and took out another piece and stuffed it into Lao Liang's hand. up.

Lao Liang grabbed the five silver dollars in his hand, as if in a dream.When Lao Liang returned to the village and told about this incident, it immediately became a big joke in the local area.

After a while, the German officer couldn't help complaining to the battalion commander of the unit: "Damn it, the workers here in Yunnan are too expensive. It cost me five oceans just now!"

The battalion commander said to the German officer with a smile: "If someone gave you ten oceans and asked you to choose a one-kilometer road, would you be willing?"

"No, no, no." The German officer quickly shook his hand, suddenly felt that five oceans was too cheap, and then he gave another five oceans to another farmer.

The first one arrives!
