Knight of the Light

After staying up all night and sleeping for a few hours, the'General' got up at noon and continued to inspect Qingtaidu, the newly formed unit.

A total of 3,500 people, organized into a brigade, governed two main regiments and a supplementary regiment, plus the brigade's direct troops. The brigade has two thousand five hundred'made in Hanyang', five hundred'flower organs', plus twenty heavy machine guns.

Although there is no gun, there is a sharper armor platoon.

In addition to the armored platoon, the brigade directly under it also has a reconnaissance company, a communications company, a heavy company, and a medical platoon. Not very complete, technical sergeant is seriously missing.

For example, the medical platoon has only fifty female hygienists with simple training, and they can only do some battlefield rescue and dressing work, and nothing else.

The biggest shortcoming is that the ammunition reserve is too small, currently there are less than 300,000 rounds. One is that the ammunition is expensive, and the other is that it consumes too much due to battle training.

The soldiers were recruited in the past three months, and they were about 18 to 25 years old. Zhou Qingfeng is delicious and good to drink and practice. With the cooperation of the link network, it is almost equivalent to training for half a year to a year.

The recruitment of the supplementary group was late, but the two main groups trained for two to three months. From basic queues, physical stamina, shooting, bombing, and local work, you can do it all.

Military officers at all levels are focused on training, their thinking is strengthened, and their abilities are still adequate.

If you train for another three months, this brigade will definitely be a qualified soldier, but now time is not waiting. In the first half of 28 years, the underground organizations in Hunan were continuously destroyed by the enemy, a large number of comrades were arrested and killed, and the situation was precarious.

It is of course gratifying to have one more force as the main force. The ‘General’ felt that this unit was not weaker than the veterans who had fought since the Beiyang period.

Even this new army is even more powerful. Not only are they well equipped, but also because they are literate from officers to soldiers, have received cultural education, and know why they fight.

The pressure brought by the ‘white terror’ gave them powerful spiritual power.

"Yo...you guys had a good lunch."

Three thousand and five hundred troops were scattered in a dozen villages around Qingtaidu Town. There is radio and radio synergy. The brigade was in the town and had lunch at noon, and the cooking team delivered the food to the town office.

Seeing the white rice and fat fat, the ‘General’ laughed first, then suddenly sank, "Is this made specially for me?"

The old fireman in the cooking class was still wearing an apron, rubbing his hands, with a strong local accent, and said nervously: "I bought a pig in this town. This..."

"How often do you eat meat?"

"Eat meat once a week. It's not that I can't afford it, but that there is not so much. But the rice must be enough. We also bought the millet and opened a rice mill. If the surrounding villagers want to mill rice, they just need to give it away. Some firewood will be crushed in the factory for free."

The old fire head talked a little bit upside down, and his tongue was unsound. He said eating meat at the beginning, and soon he got involved in rice milling, and he kept boasting about rice milling machines.

"In the past, you had to borrow stone mills for rice milling. Not only did you have to spend money, but you also had to pay a portion of the millet. Now it's great to have a rice mill. It can do the work of the past half a month in one day.

The rice milling machine is very simple. It uses the mechanical force generated by the roller to peel the rice. There is no need to purchase this thing. Zhou Qingfeng asked a carpenter and blacksmith in the village to build a dozen of them.

The technology is simple, and it can be produced in Wuhan. This thing has a lot of shortcomings, but the advantage is that it can be used as a power source by burning wood, and a dozen or 20 horsepower is not small.

It can not only be used for power generation, pumping water, rice milling, sawing wood, and even iron smelting furnace blower can come in handy-simple and solid, too useful.

Zhou Qingfeng bought more than 20 Guotuo machines back and forth, which is well received. He is currently looking for ways to recruit technicians, purchase equipment and raw materials, and prepare to build his own mechanical processing plant.

There is currently a lack of chemical industry in China, and the poor cannot import large amounts of fuel. It’s not too much to build hundreds of thousands of pan-camel machines, which can last for 20 to 30 years, greatly improving labor efficiency.

Lao Huotou praised that the rice mill saves the people's effort, and his face was full of folds with smile. For a long time, he remembered that this was not what the ‘General’ asked. He also said that last month Brigadier Zhou said that the price of grain would rise recently, so he bought a lot of grain from Wuhan.

When there was a company in the town, outsiders called Zhou Qingfeng ‘company commander’. As the army gradually increased, his name also changed, so that everyone followed suit. In fact, he is a ‘volunteer’ who does nothing for nothing.

It's very luxurious to eat rice all over these years. There are less than a thousand people in Pingjiang, and he usually has to eat mixed food. As for eating meat, it's very casual.

The revolutionary officers sent to Qingtai to assist in training were surprised by the standard of living here, and felt that Zhou Qingfeng's subordinates were the regular army, and they looked like the peasant army. If you compare the equipment, the contrast will be even greater.

According to Ma Ying, Zhou Qingfeng spent half a million oceans to equip this team in three months. Not to mention the weapons, even the marching water bottle to the backpack, all were bought with money. The soldiers stood up, full of energy.

With such a brigade-level team, Zhou Qingfeng would bring in a group of miscellaneous soldiers and get tens of thousands of people, and it would be easy to be a lieutenant general on the Guodang side. With his ability, he can definitely become a general or even a warlord in a few years.

But this guy didn't have any intention of taking over power. Not only did he take the initiative to send Pingjiang officers to take control of the troops, the team also trained to lose command. He slipped even more.

But... this doesn't work.

Such a capable commander, the organization is eager to attract him to the inside, and can't kick him away. As for Ma Ying, Fu Fengjun and others mentioned Zhou Qingfeng's ‘joking’—revolutionaries have always been broad-minded and indifferent.

After the inspection, the "General" followed the comrades to discuss openly, and decided to propose to the superiors to approve the combat effectiveness of Qingtaidu and Zhou Qingfeng. In view of its outstanding ability, it should be given a corresponding position.

Pingjiang’s army was originally only more than 800, and Qingtai Capital continued to provide assistance. In the past three months, shotguns were changed. The troop strength has been increased to 1,500, the equipment has been greatly updated, and the strength has nearly doubled.

Beginning in June, the ‘minister’ has brought instructions from higher authorities, hoping that the ‘general’ can lead an uprising, take the county seat of Pingjiang, rescue the revolutionaries imprisoned in the county seat, and open up base areas.

The'Minister' came to Qingtai to inspect it three months ago, and felt that it could provide some assistance to the troops after the uprising. But looking at it three months later, Zhou Qingfeng magically pulled up a large force, but Pingjiang's direction looked like an auxiliary.

The'General' returned to Pingjiang after spending a day in Qingtai. Zhou Qingfeng hid in Xiangya Hospital for a day. After returning, he found that the revolutionary group around him looked wrong. Fu Fengjun pulled him into the house and talked alone...

"The organization decided to reorganize the Qingtaidu army into one army."

Damn it!

"You are the commander of the army, and I am in charge of ideological work."

Damn it! !

"Also, I hope you will officially join us. Many comrades are willing to be your introducer."

"Oh... you can pick it up with me? I want... to be the introducer. I have to take a group photo with the words "Zhou Qingfeng is a good comrade". I want to frame it and hang it on the wall. on."
