On January 22, 1925, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, when the wives and children who were supposed to stay at home and wait for the Spring Festival were waiting for the Spring Festival, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division of the Army braved the snowflakes flying in the sky and exchanged fierce fire with the southbound Feng army along the line of the Grand Canal between Zaozhuang and Xuzhou in the cold weather.

The troops in the northeast had a considerable advantage in the winter operations, but the officers and men of the Sixth Division, who came from the peasants of the Jianghuai Plain, had high morale and fought very tenaciously, which made the Feng troops on the opposite side very surprised: "Isn't the opposite side a rookie from the expansion of the security regiment?" How does it feel like you're fighting with the 3rd Division? ”

There is a reason why the morale of the officers and men of the Sixth Division is high, and ten days ago, Gao Yang came from the original time and space to 1925, and after arriving in Xuzhou, Gao Yang promulgated the Law on the Protection of Military Personnel and the Law on the Placement of Veterans to all troops in the two provinces.

The Law on the Security of Military Personnel stipulates that all servicemen are conscription, and the conscription period is 18 years old and 10 years, and they can choose to be discharged or continue to serve after the expiration of their service, and the maximum service age for soldiers is 30 years old, and the number of non-commissioned officers is 35 years old, and special posts can be extended for five years.

During the period of service, the salary is 10 yuan per month, and the salary is increased by 5 yuan every five years, and those who have outstanding performance and special talents can be recommended to apply for the non-commissioned officer school, and the non-commissioned officers can receive the non-commissioned officer allowance, and the artillery, medical soldiers, communication troops, drivers, ground crews and other special posts have additional post allowances, which are generally half of the monthly salary.

At the time of retirement, a discharge allowance can also be received according to the length of service. For Gao Yang's soldiers, this guarantee bill made them very excited, and before the army had a sense of national honor, money was the only pursuit of the soldiers.

The enactment of the Veterans Resettlement Act, which provides that servicemen who are unable to continue their service due to training or war injuries will receive a monthly subsistence allowance from the military and will be exempt from any taxes during their lifetime.

In addition to a one-time funeral fee to a designated relative during his lifetime, a one-time funeral fee will be exempted from taxes for his immediate family members for 20 years, and minor children will receive monthly living expenses according to the regular military salary standard until the age of 18.

Local governments for servicemen who have normally retired from service shall give priority to their work arrangements and may directly serve as local militia and police.

These two bills are not unusual, but they appeared in China in 1925.

In this era, most of the soldiers were in order to be able to eat and survive, except for a very small number of troops, the vast majority of soldiers would be deducted from their salaries by their commanders. But Gao Yang has never had this kind of thing since the establishment of the army, when so many recruits were sent to Bengbu, there were very few things that escaped, and it played a great role in getting paid.

In this era, when the soldiers died, if the chief had a little conscience, he would give some money to his family for burning and burying, and those who had no conscience would not care if it was common or something in the wilderness, and it was usually the nearby villagers who dug pits and buried them after the war. As for those who are injured and survive, then they really can only rely on God.

Most of the soldiers recruited in Gaoyang are rural youths, and their families are basically family. Gao Yang didn't care about the exempted agricultural taxes, but in the eyes of the soldiers, it was a matter as big as the sky!

As an agricultural country, the agricultural tax has been the country's largest income for thousands of years, and the burden on farmers is very large, and those who grow rice generally cannot eat rice. Gao Yang exempted the soldiers from agricultural taxes in this way, as long as Gao Yang can continue to implement it, then these soldiers from the countryside will use their lives to protect Gao Yang!

At the headquarters of the Sixth Division in Xuzhou City, Gao Yang was sitting in front of the stove and roasting the fire, and more than 20 staff officers were busy handling military affairs. Although Gao Yang has the identity of a graduate of the German Army Military Academy, of course, it is proved that he has never gone to school, and Gao Yang does not know anything about military affairs.

Although I have watched a lot of anti-Japanese dramas in the original time and space, if you use what you see on TV to fight, it will be irresponsible to the soldiers under you. Therefore, from beginning to end, Gao Yang has pursued the principle that professional things should be done by professional people, and handed over military affairs to the staff officers to take charge of them, and sat and acted as a façade by himself.

Most of the staff officers in the Gaoyang division headquarters were specially recruited former German army officers, as well as several biochemical soldiers and outstanding young officers selected from the whole army. The German staff officers, who had experience in the European war, handled everything in an orderly manner, from digging trenches and laying planks to the ammunition distribution ratio.

Gao Yang went down to the troops from time to time to boost morale, chatted with the soldiers, and asked the soldiers what they needed. The soldiers said that they couldn't stand the cold, so Gao Yang transferred a large number of cotton coats from the garment factory in Feng County. The soldiers said that they wanted to eat meat, so Gao Yang mobilized canned pork from the food factory in Fengxian County, knowing his ability to seize the personnel and financial power.

Pick up the enamel cup on the stove and drink coffee slowly. Chatting with the origin in his mind, "The biochemical warrior is too energy-consuming, and it can't make much energy when I finally get some energy points, what should I do?" Gao Yang complained. As the hands that control the army, the cyborg warriors do a very good job. Biochemical warriors are also indispensable in a factory that is extremely lacking in professional talents, and most of Gao Yang's energy points have been smashed on them.

"Actually, you don't have to instill German language skills at the time of manufacturing, all cyborg soldiers have at least a bachelor's degree of knowledge, you can organize a training class to train them to learn about the same in a few months, so you can save a lot of energy points."

As soon as the original words fell, the enamel cup in Gao Yang's hand shook violently, and the hot coffee was sprinkled on his lap. The hot Gao Yang jumped up violently and flipped the chair, throwing away the cup in his hand and desperately slapping the coffee on his leg. The orderly soldiers on the side hurriedly rushed over to help, and Gao Yang roared angrily, "Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

The orderly's face turned white with fright, but fortunately, Gao Yang calmed down and waved his hand to the orderly, saying, "It's none of your business, go find me a few sweet potatoes to bake." He walked back to the backroom, changed into new pants, and complained to the origin, "Do you know how much energy I've wasted?" Why didn't you tell me earlier? ”

"Zhilu said, I just remembered it. And you can also recruit local German-speaking people to be translators, why do you have to use biochemical warriors? Yuan asked rhetorically.

"In China in this era, there are absolutely very few international students who can speak German, and they may not be able to look at my small temple, so they can rest assured with their own people." Gao Yang explained.

"You don't have many soldiers now, what will you do when you have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the future? Exemption from agricultural taxes for all? Now this army is completely supported by your personal money, what if you run out of money? "The origin changed the subject.

"Basically, they are all recruits, how can they fight the war with the Germans and cyborgs? What I'm lacking is time, not money. In an agricultural country, of course, agricultural taxes are important, so I want to speed up industrial construction and replace agricultural taxes with industrial taxes. I'm ordering to Libreville, right? With so many things being shipped, I'm afraid a lot of people will pay attention to me. Gao Yang then changed the subject.

Back in the war room, the orderly was putting a few sweet potatoes on the stove, and Gao Yang's eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward to do it himself. Gao Yang, who has loved roasted sweet potatoes since he was a child, squatted on the edge of the stove, staring intently at sweet potatoes, and putting aside everything else for the time being.

The operational staff officer ran over to report to Gao Yang: "Sir, the troops stationed at the Hanzhuangzi Bridge on the Jinpu Line have sent a report on the enemy situation, and at about 11 o'clock this morning, a large group of Feng troops launched an attack on the Hanzhuangzi Bridge under the cover of multiple artillery pieces, and has now been repulsed. ”

"Huh?" Gao Yang stood up and walked to the front of the map, and the combat staff officer pointed out the location of Han Zhuangzi Bridge. Although I don't know much about military affairs, I still know the importance of this bridge. After a little hesitation, Gao Yang asked the staff officers, "What do you think?" ”

Chief of Operations Chief Kurt. After saluting, Beagle said: "From the analysis of the exchange of fire in the past few days, the enemy has lost the sharpness of the attack in the main position of Taierzhuang. The attack on the Han Zhuangzi Bridge should be tentative, they are looking for the weak point of our defense, if the Han Zhuangzi Bridge is not strong in defense, the enemy will launch a large-scale attack here in the afternoon at the latest. ”

"Yes." Gao Yang looked at the map and pondered, and said, "I'll go to the front line to have a look." After speaking, he left the division headquarters, got on a truck, and went down to the Han Zhuangzi Bridge position under the escort of the guard troops.

More than an hour later, Gao Yang came to the front of Han Zhuangzi Bridge. Garrisoned here were the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 2nd Regiment, and the battalion headquarters was also on the position, and the battalion's fire support company provided artillery support. Gao Yang entered the battalion headquarters and observed the situation on the other side in front of the high-powered telescope behind him.

Zhang Zongchang's troops, who arrived in Zaozhuang a few days ago, launched several attacks on the first-line canal positions in Taierzhuang. Zhang Buduo couldn't run on the frozen river because the horse team was beaten up by the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division with Makqin, and no cavalry dared to appear again.

After that, Zhang Bu used a skirmish line to infiltrate and attack under the cover of artillery, and the officers and men of the Sixth Division hiding in the trenches did not hesitate to sweep the forward positions with fierce firepower, and beat Zhang Bu to the ground.

The two sides also engaged in an artillery battle for more than a day, and the morale of Zhang's artillery fell greatly after it was knocked out, and there was basically no movement in the last two days. What does it mean to suddenly take a long detour to Han Zhuangzi Bridge to attack this time? Gao Yang couldn't figure it out.

The phone rang, and the battalion commander answered the phone, and after saying a few words, he reported to Gao Yang, "Division commander, the staff officer of the library is looking for you." Gao Yang pursed his lips and said, "Remember, it's called Kurt, not a staff officer." The battalion commander grinned, scratched his head, and handed the phone to Gao Yang.

"I'm Gao Yang." Picked up the phone and said. "Sir, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Beagle. After studying just now, the staff office found that the enemy was likely to use Weishan Lake to launch a flank attack, and the attack on Han Zhuangzi Bridge was probably just a decoy. ”

"Huh?" Gao Yang was stunned, lured the enemy head-on, and attacked on the flanks? When did Zhang Zongchang have this ability? It's not his style. Gao Yang was surprised and couldn't speak for a while.

"No, this is not Zhang Zongchang's troops!" Suddenly, as if he had been enlightened, Gao Yang thought of the crux of the problem. "Where are the nearest reserves? And what about artillery? How many can support here? Gao Yang hurriedly shouted into the phone.
