Back at the inn, let the telegraph operator send a message to the headquarters, and the follow-up personnel are ready to go, and everything is safe on the road. However, Shi Liancheng suggested that Longxiang Trading Company should open a branch in Zhaowu Dameng. Because cars cannot enter the mountain, all the materials must be slowly moved into the mountain by people, so a reasonable warehouse is needed.

Because of the specific impression of the field investigation, the second group of personnel led by Qin Yuefang went straight to the Zhaowu Dameng, and then registered a trading company in the name of Tang Weiye, engaged in the operation of cloth, fur, salt, grain, native products and long-distance transportation business. In order to facilitate the operation, Qin Yuefang also recruited three employees in the local area to be responsible for business reception.

After that, in order to facilitate access to the mountains, an office was opened in Niujiayingzi, specializing in purchasing hunters' prey and furs. At first, it was piled up at the door, but then there were too many and there was no place to store it. With this reason, Tang Weiye's signboard was brought out again, so he bought a piece of land from the town and built a large warehouse. At this point, the preparatory work for the transfer of materials has been completed.

Subsequently, Shi Liancheng's special platoon brought the first batch of supplies. Since then, people have come and gone, and people have been constantly changing. Forty people went into the mountain to collect skins, and twenty people came out to deliver the goods. In this way, Lan Caiqin's independent battalion was replaced in the mountains.

The entire material transfer took nine months before and after it was completed, and this is not to be repeated. At this point, Shi Liancheng's special platoon completed its mission and returned to Crouching Tiger Villa. Qin Yuefang was the boss of the Longxiang Trading Company of the Zhaowuda League, becoming a transit station for ushering in the delivery, and also the core of intelligence collection.

Due to the departure of Lan Caiqin's independent battalion, there was a vacancy in Caiyun Villa, and Bai Shujie ordered Hou Zide's cavalry battalion to replace this place. The main task is to train troops, and at the same time pay attention to the movements in the Liaoshen area. If the cavalry battalion is dispatched, the defense is taken over by a special platoon.

"Damn, this thief doesn't let people live, it's almost March, and it's still so cold in the spring!"

Because the cavalry battalion went out to look for Gadamerin according to Bai Shujie's order, and Zhao Jinxi hid in the telecommunications class and didn't know what to do, Bai Shujie was bored. Just when he was scolding God, he finally heard his long-awaited voice: Hou Zide is back!

Bai Shujie ran out of the headquarters and saw that Hou Zide's hair was frozen and his face was full of dust. My heart hurt and I was angry, and I couldn't help but scold: "Where the hell did you die, and you didn't come back until now?" Cook the food and wine I prepared right away! ”

"Can I be blamed for this?" Hou Zide walked inside, complaining in his mouth: "It's not that you want to be Song Jiang, so I went out for so long to find that bullshit Gadamerin." It's all a good thing you commanded! They are now in a cave two hundred miles southwest of Ao Han Banner, and they suffered heavy losses last time, so they have not eased up until now. ”

"According to what you said, half of the equipment of my entire battalion was left, and all the bullets were given to him! When I go out, I have two guns, and when I come back, I have one hand! Also, he asked me to leave a class of brothers to train his team. ”

"Song Jiang is a hanging?" Bai Shujie scolded: "Walking outside, don't look like an old lady." Everyone is a difficult brother, if you can help, just reach out and help, don't fucking chirp for me all day long. Hurry up, finish eating and drinking, roll the calves! ”

Hou Zide crackled and said a lot, Bai Shujie didn't care, and quickly pulled him to the fire and asked, "Have the brothers arranged it?" Have you eaten? Did you boil hot water? ”

"You don't give my mother-in-law and mother-in-law, you don't care about these things!" Hou Zide picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "If the brothers don't arrange it, can I come over?" ”

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it!" A stone in Bai Shujie's heart fell to the ground, and he also drank happily.

"Detachment leader, you see that people are really accurate, this Gadamerin is very righteous!" Hou Zide said: "We gave him weapons and ammunition, which is exactly what he needs, so there is no excuse." You know what? In the evening he drank with us, but at noon the next day, his men brought back a large number of war horses and gave them to us, saying that they were a return gift. ”

"However, I only brought 1,800 horses, and I sent the other 1,300 horses to Sanlian to the Sanxian Cave." Hou Zide continued: "I don't think we have a long-term solution in this place, so there is no need to make a big fuss. When we came back, we were on the road in the middle of the night, and we looked for a place to cat at dawn. ”

Bai Shujie said excitedly: "These horses came at the right time, you let the following train well, don't waste it." ”

Hou Zide suddenly put down his wine glass and said solemnly: "Since Deputy Detachment Leader Gan took the troops away, as soon as my cavalry battalion is dispatched, Shi Liancheng's platoon will be stationed in Caiyun Villa, and you will almost become the commander of the light pole." Just an artillery platoon, a fart! ”

"To be honest, I'm most worried about you out there! Now first form a reinforcement company, get your guard unit in order, and then tell me the rest! And then I'll figure out how to form two more cavalry battalions! You can have one or two battalions of direct troops in your hands, and I won't worry about your safety when I go out! ”

Bai Shujie was still a little undecided: "I don't have any major battles here for the time being, what do you want so many troops to do?" ”

"As far as these civilians in your hands, if that eyeless big strand breaks in, the headquarters will be served with even the pot!" Hou Zide waved his hand and said, "This time you will listen to me, it's right to keep it!" ”

"Shi Liancheng's platoon, although it is young, has the best military quality. On their basis, it was expanded into a company, and a cavalry company and an artillery company were formed to form the main force of the guard battalion. As for the personnel of the various departments of the headquarters, they were equipped with horses, so that it was convenient to move. ”

Bai Shujie pondered for a while, and said with a little bit: "Since you said so, then simply put it in place at one time and form the second brigade of the Youyan detachment, with three cavalry battalions and a mixed battalion, and a guard company, and the headquarters will follow the second brigade." What do you think of this? ”

"Haha, that would be better!" Hou Zide daxiao said: "In this way, even if three battalions are dispatched at the same time in the future, there will be no worries!" No, I still have to go out, no horses are for nothing! I went outside this time to take a good turn, and the whole steppe was flat, and the infantry was almost useless! ”

"Okay, there is still a month and a half to go before the New Year, you can do the cavalry affairs, you must not be reluctant. In case it doesn't work, we can put up the shelves of the second brigade first, and then slowly replenish it. Bai Shujie Zuihou said: "As for the expansion of the mixed battalion, I will find a way." ”

After the Spring Festival, Bai Shujie officially issued an order to form the second brigade and mixed battalion:

Second Cavalry Brigade: Captain: Hou Zide, Deputy Captain: Wang Kaishan, Chief of Staff: Zhu Youpeng First Cavalry Battalion (745 people): Battalion Commander: Qi Hongyi, Deputy Battalion Commander: Ding Jiashu Second Cavalry Battalion (745 people): Battalion Commander: Ning Rongxuan, Deputy Battalion Commander: Liu Junliang Third Cavalry Battalion (745 people): Battalion Commander: Yu Jinghui, Deputy Battalion Commander: Gongyexiong Total number of people (horses): 2444 people (including 206 people in a full guard company). Armament: 81 mortars, 27 light machine guns, 244 20-round shell guns.

Units directly under the detachment (mixed battalions, departmental squadrons: 1,017 people in total, excluding 666 people in supplementary battalions):

Detachment Leader: Bai Shujie, Communicator: Tan Mingliang Department Squadron (4 cars, 16 Czech light machine guns): Squadron Leader: Sheng Zhiguo, Deputy Squadron Leader: Qiu Shufen. Responsible for the daily operation of various departments of the division, rapid maneuver during the battle, under the jurisdiction of the guard platoon (protection telecommunications squad).

Mixed battalion (914 people, guards unit of the detachment headquarters): battalion commander: Han Qingfen, deputy battalion commander: Liu Quanyu. It has a special company, an artillery company, a light machine gun company, and a heavy machine gun company.

Special company (sniper platoon, reconnaissance platoon, special operations platoon, equipped with 24 Czech light machine guns, 20 sniper rifles, the others are shell guns): Company Commander: Shi Liancheng, Deputy Company Commander: Chen Jie, Liu Zhenshan Artillery Company (4 81 mortars, 12 60 guns, 16 Czech light machine guns): Company Commander: Xia Enze, Deputy Company Commander: Luo Dingkun, Lai Zhiwen Light Machine Gun Company (36 crooked light machine guns, 4 60 mortars): Company Commander: Cui San'er, Deputy Company Commander: Wu Tianjie, Xiang Qichang Heavy Machine Gun Company (4 heavy machine guns, 16 crooked light machine guns): Company Commander: Tao Chengzhou, Deputy Company Commander: Liu Feipeng and Ma Hongde After the completion of this big move, Bai Shujie finally realized his initial idea and had a fist attack unit, a loyal and brave guard unit with strong firepower. Each unit is equivalent to starting from scratch to run in training, and by the time it has basically taken shape and has initial combat effectiveness, the time has reached mid-April 1930 (the 19th year of the Republic of China).

According to the strong demand of the soldiers of the supplementary battalion, Bai Shujie had no choice but to withdraw the old-fashioned rifles and distribute all the Liaoshi III rifles. Then it was decided that Sheng Zhiguo would concurrently serve as the battalion commander and belong to the troops directly under the headquarters. Supplementary battalion: 666 people, battalion commander: Sheng Zhiguo (concurrently), equipped with 547 rifles and 9 light machine guns.

With the precedent of the supplementary battalion, the militia of Wohu Village quit, so Cao Fengxiang was recommended to the headquarters to negotiate with the detachment leader, and the equipment problem must be solved!

Bai Shujie repeatedly explained that the nature of the militia and the supplementary battalion is different. The fighters of the supplementary battalion are actually the regular fighters of the detachment, but the detachment does not have so many establishment arrangements at present.

After a referendum in Wohu Village, Zuihou unanimously decided: If irreversible and great changes really occur, the militia of Wohu Village will be the regular troops of the Youyan Detachment. As for the remaining villagers, they are completely subject to the arrangement of the Youyan detachment for strategic transfer!

Bai Shujie was entangled by the militia and had no choice but to nod his head and agree, and changed the militia battalion. Militia battalion: 1,117 people, battalion commander: Cao Fengxiang, equipped with 827 Type 38 rifles, 64 crooked light machine guns, and 248 shell guns.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
