Heavy Industry Empire

Tong Linge led the cavalry to start a hand-to-hand battle with these bandits, and the bandits suffered a great loss immediately. Their rifles were all old-fashioned rifles, with no stabs at all, just a wooden stick. Tong Linge rushed to the front, and the speed of the horse under his crotch was amazing. Quickly, slashing left and right with a big knife in his hand, the bandits quickly dispersed, and Tong Linge went straight to the core of the bandits gathering. The so-called black tiger is just a nickname, and there are many people with this nickname.

There are four masters around Heihu, and they also have machetes. Seeing that Tong Linge is coming, each of them shouted well, and one of them went straight to the horse's leg with his sword. This is not wrong in tactics. Cut off the horse's leg, and the cavalry fell down. It's a pity that they met Tong Linge.

As the blade passed by, Tong Linge's horse raised its front legs abruptly. On the horse's back, Tong Linge's eyes flashed coldly, and he slashed down with the machete in his hand amidst the howling wind. The bandit took the head on the spot, how high the blood spurted, before his body fell down, Tong Linge slammed his sword out, bang, another bandit's knife flew away, before he recovered, the blade swiped lightly, and the knife was like a spring breeze It was like brushing a flower branch, just scratched the bandit's neck lightly, blood gushed out in an instant, the bandit's artery burst, and the other two bandit leaders shouted: "Hack him to death," the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, Jumping up on the spot, he slashed at Tong Linge desperately.

Tong Linge didn't even look at it, and when he urged the horse, the horse rushed forward vigorously. The leader of the bandit, Heihu, was looking at Tong Linge in surprise.

It turned out that the bandit leader saw two of his capable men slashing at Tong Linge desperately, thinking that he would return the knife to protect himself, and he would have time to escape. Who knew that Tong Linge didn't care about the two knives he chopped at, and just rode forward. The two soldiers behind rushed up and helped Tong Linge block the two knives, and Tong Linge killed the bandit leader Heihu in one fell swoop.

"The leader of the bandit is dead, and those who lay down their weapons will not die," the soldiers shouted.

In an instant, the bandits put down their weapons and surrendered. The battle was well fought, killing more than 200 bandits, capturing more than 700 bandits, and rescued more than a dozen women.

"The weapons and ammunition collected from the bandits are registered and recorded, and taken back for military use. As for the livestock, money and food will be returned," Tong Linge ordered.

"Yes," the adjutant said immediately.

Of course, some soldiers did not understand, saying that since the cattle were taken from the bandits, they were the spoils of war. Why should they be returned to the common people? If we don't return it to the people, then what is the difference between us and bandits? What's more, if the people lose their livestock and have no way to cultivate the land, then force them to become bandits too.

Two hours later, the adjutant came to report: "Report to the brigade commander, the battlefield has been cleaned, the livestock, food and other tools have been registered and recorded, and will be returned to the villagers in a while."

"Where are our wounded soldiers, have they all been treated?" Tong Linge asked.

"The 28 people who were slightly injured have all been bandaged and will not delay their return to camp. The five people who were seriously injured have been arranged to be sent to the homes of fellow villagers. Soldiers and military doctors have been arranged to guard them. They will be sent back to the army to nourish their injuries after their conditions stabilize,"

"Okay, the others will follow me and go to take over the lair of this nest of bandits,"

"Yes,"

That day the cavalry raided for more than [-] miles, annihilated the gang of bandits, and reimbursed their old den together. When they returned to the barracks the next day, the messengers came.

"Brigade Commander, the commander told you to go to Luoyang after you come back, there is something to do," said the signal soldier.

Tong Linge nodded: "Understood, prepare the car and go to Luoyang,"

"Yes,"

Tong Linge's travel has always been simple. There are two jeeps and one military truck. There are only thirty people in total. The guards all know that Tong Linge is tired. The traffic was bad, and it was already dark when we arrived in Luoyang.

Feng Yuxiang was talking to a senior officer in the headquarters, when Tong Linge arrived: "Report to the commander, Tong Linge will report to you,"

"Come in," Feng Yuxiang said.

Tong Linge came in and said with a smile, "Mr. Han is here too,"

This bearded man is the commander of Feng Yuxiang's subordinates. He controls more than 5000 soldiers, more than Tong Linge's soldiers. He is called Han Duofeng, and he is a titan.

"Long time no see, I'll treat you later, let's have a drink," Han Duofeng said.

"Haha, you two drunkards, you talk about eating and drinking when you meet," Feng Yuxiang joked.

Tong Linge said sternly, "Is there something important that the commander called us here?"

Feng Yuxiang nodded: "Yes, there is something important, Han Duofeng, tell me about it."

Han Duofeng was not polite, pointing to the map and said: "In the past one and a half months, our army of more than [-] has carried out a vigorous campaign against bandits in Henan. [-]% of them have been wiped out, but [-]% of the bandits are very stubborn. They are real bandits. The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and they relied on their familiarity with the terrain to attack and loot everywhere, seriously disrupting local law and order,"

Tong Linge frowned when he heard that, Han Duofeng knew that Tong Linge was born as a sword player, but Han Duofeng was born as a machine gun player, and his soldiers and firearms were much better than Tong Linge's brigade.

"Old Han, it is difficult for your soldiers to suppress bandits with so much firepower," Tong Linge asked.

Han Duofeng sighed: "What's the use of fierce firepower? The bandits don't fight with us. They have wide eyesight. Before the soldiers arrive, they will run into the woods and go into the mountains. No matter how much we machine guns It doesn't work any more,"

Feng Yuxiang said: "Currently there are bandits in Funiu Mountain in Luoyang, south, east, and west of Henan. Although there are [-] to [-] bandits in total, their combat effectiveness is low. It is too wasteful to use our [-] troops, let alone we have more There are important things to do, and I plan to develop other things well, such as agricultural greening and education, "

"Oh, Commander, is there any good way to develop agriculture, Henan has a large population, and food is the first big problem," Tong Linge asked.

"Agricultural land is land. We can't change the land, but we can limit the annexation of the land by powerful households. At the same time, the newly reclaimed land is distributed to the people according to the population. These lands are used as ration fields, but they cannot be traded. In addition, our army also has There is a general surnamed Ma, through whom he can buy large quantities of cattle from Ningxia,"

Tong Linge smiled and said, "Haha, I forgot, we are the Northwest Army, so it's not difficult to buy some cattle and horses."

"Ningxia and Qinchuan have a lot of high-quality cattle, which can be used to develop agriculture in Henan. Henan has always been the Central Plains. It is good to use this place as a base. In addition to developing agriculture, I plan to arrange large-scale military training. Compared with Feng Army, even Liu Tianling's army is far behind our army, we need to practice hard," Feng Yuxiang said happily.

"The commander wants to entrust me with the matter of suppressing the bandits," Tong Linge asked.

"I have this idea. I want to rename your brigade of 3000 people to the Henan Bandit Suppression Army. You are the commander of the army. I don't know what you think,"

"Ah," Tong Linge smiled wryly.

Han Duofeng said: "Why are you surprised? Is it a bit too surprising to be promoted from brigade commander to army commander?"

"No, originally I was only in charge of one Shangqiu, and I could make do with it. It would be difficult if I were responsible for the whole of Henan," Tong Linge said.

"It's not like what you said, you were asked to mention it," Feng Yuxiang said.

Tong Linge thought for a while: "Horses, equip horses, change the infantry into cavalry infantry. Although the garrisons in various places are no longer responsible for suppressing bandits, they must assist us in suppressing bandits when necessary."

"Okay, that's it, my Commander Tong, on the basis of your original horses and vehicles, I will find a way to give you [-] horses, and the guns and ammunition are all replenished, but you also have to give me a Time, how long will it take you to calm down the bandits in Henan,"

"One year," Tong Linge gritted his teeth and said cruelly.

"One year is too long. We need to develop education and agriculture. We can't let the bandits hold us back. If we don't do a good job with the bandits, everything else will be a problem," Feng Yuxiang said with a smile.

Han Duofeng and Tong Linge are good friends, and he also said: "Commander, the bandits in Henan are deeply entrenched and have developed for decades. Tong Linge has been wiped out very quickly in one year. You must know that bandits are very difficult to deal with when they go deep into the mountains. "

Feng Yuxiang said: "Some time ago, Liu Tianling from Lunan said that after the spring, the air force will be dispatched to help us suppress the bandits. With their help, I think it will not be too close. As long as these stubborn bandits see that being a bandit That which has no way out becomes,'

Tong Linge said worriedly: "The young commander has gone south and has already taken control of Jinan City. The Fengjun has officially launched a war with Liu Tianling's forces in southern Lunan. The situation is critical. Liu Tianling may not be able to spare time to help us."

"No, he will definitely, because I will help him when he is in charge again, as long as you agree, I will be transferred back in a few days, and we will start to wipe out the bandits in Funiu Mountain first," Feng Yuxiang arranged.

That night, Feng Yuxiang held a meeting and announced the appointment of Tong Linge as the commander of the Henan Bandit Suppression Army. The defenders in various places must assist when necessary without delay. Of course, Feng Yuxiang's own work focus has shifted. He understands a truth, wandering around There is no way out for wandering, he wants to learn from Yan Xishan and Liu Tianling, develop agriculture, industry and commerce, and build a stable territory.

The most important thing is agriculture, and the first thing in agriculture is to eat. We started to promote corn in plain areas and sweet potatoes in mountainous areas. These are what Feng Yuxiang needs to prepare now. He even sent people to collect all kinds of pumpkin seeds from all over the country, waiting for spring. Time to promote in some extremely poor places,
