Chapter 79 Four Battalions

Mid-October 1927, Beijing, Jingshan.

A group of men wearing strange clothes were running up and down Jingshan Mountain. At the foot of Jingshan Mountain, there were scattered gun targets being hit by "crackling" bullets. And among the group of men who were shooting with guns.

Not far from the military training ground, another group of sturdy men who took off their shirts took wooden sticks tied with cloth strips and dipped in ink on the front and screamed "Wow!" and they killed each other! Because of this

A group of men, Jingshan Mountain, which should be pure and beautiful, is covered with a thick layer of violence!

In this violent Jingshan Mountain, a man in his twenties wearing a military uniform with the rank of Major of the Anguo Army walked solemnly among the crowd, sometimes running with the men running up the mountain, sometimes picking up a gun to shoot.

A few times to perform a show, or to overturn a few men who were practicing assassination and teach them the essentials of assassination movements.

This man! Surprisingly, he is Tu Qianjun, the fourth battalion of the Third Army Guard Regiment of the Anguo Army! Now, his fourth battalion is no longer just the group of old brothers from Ertou Mountain. After Zhang Zuoxiang's addition, it has expanded to four companies and five companies.

More than one hundred and sixty people!

This is the headquarters of the Fourth Battalion of the Anguo Army's Third Army Guard Regiment. At this time, rumors have spread that the bald men in Nanjing and Wang Niaoniao in Wuhan have stepped up contact. Zhang Zuolin estimates that negotiations between the two parties will be concluded at the beginning of next year at the latest to reorganize the government.

However, Tu Qianjun knew clearly that the Bald Man and the Wangniaoniao would make peace at the end of this year! This is not good news for the Anguo Army. Once the governments of both parties are reorganized again, it will be imperative to restart the Northern Expedition. By then, Anguo will

The military is naturally the first to bear the brunt!

Therefore, Zhang Zuolin has been stepping up his war preparations during this time! Since Tu Qianjun obtained unlimited logistics supplies from Zhang Zuolin, Tu Qianjun has started training the brothers in the village non-stop. Fortunately, these guys have been trained by Tu Qianjun before

, Tu Sanpao did not relax his training even when Tu Qianjun was walking around. So all Tu Qianjun had to do was to strengthen them.

They eat and drink with big fish and meat, and practice with unlimited bullets. These bearded men from the mountains are growing in size and ability, and the arrogance that comes with them is also rising in size! This time

When the former Ertoushan brothers from the Fourth Battalion went out, they always looked at others with a slanted look in their eyes.

However, they were very skilled in kung fu. In several martial arts competitions and gun competitions, they outperformed other troops. Even though the others hated these guys, they had no choice but to do anything. Even Zhang Zuolin watched the Fourth Battalion and others several times.

After the battle, everyone was full of praise for Tu Qianjun's training methods!

However, Zhang Zuolin encountered resistance when he tried to promote it throughout the army. Many veterans believed that this was Zhang Zuolin's disguised power grab. Or some veterans thought that they had been fighting for half their lives and wanted to learn how to train troops from a bearded boy?!

He really couldn't bear to lose face! So Zhang Zuolin gave up his thoughts after seeing the matter being dealt with perfunctorily several times. But he didn't know that there were many Japanese people involved.

The Kwantung Army did not make any moves after Kanye was killed by Tu Qianjun. Instead, they were frightened by the relationship between Zhang Zuolin and Tu Qianjun and restrained themselves. But the movement of the Fourth Battalion was too great! This attracted the attention of the Kwantung Army. At this time, because

Tanaka, who was ordered to undergo a caesarean section following the Sugano Incident, suddenly reported the information that Ohashi had given him before his death, arousing the vigilance of the Kwantung Army.

When they learned that Zhang Zuolin planned to promote the training method of Tu Qianjun in the Quan'an National Army, the Kwantung Army was keenly aware that this would pose a great threat to Japan's Manchuria-Mongolia strategy, so it mobilized countless Manchuria Railway envoys to use it.

Most of the relationships forced this matter to be suppressed.

Although Zhang Zuolin was aware of this matter, he felt that the Japanese might be afraid of losing influence in the Anguo Army, so he did not pay too much attention to it. At this time, he was actually not sure whether he could pass such a move.

There are still some questions about the training methods used to train the Anguo Army into a strong army. More importantly, Zhang Zuolin was very worried that the trained strong army would cause incidents like Guo Songling.

He was relieved about Tu Qianjun. Tu Sanpao had now resumed his role as a guard by his side. Even if Zhang Zuolin planned to arrange for him to join the Sixth Army, Tu Sanpao would just curl his lips and refuse.

Zhang Zuolin was very pleased with this. At least it showed that Tu Sanpao still had no ambitions. An ambitious person would not refuse the temptation of being in charge of an entire army.

Tu Sanpao even told Zhang Zuolin that his son would come back to be Zhang Xueliang's adjutant in just two years, which made Zhang Zuolin even more emotional! Both father and son are loyal people!

So for a while, Tu Qianjun and his son looked at how they liked it, and even equipped Tu Qianjun's battalion with 18 of the Japanese Taisho 3-year-old heavy machine guns copied by Dongsan Province Arsenal!

This heavy machine gun is incredible! The original caliber was 6.5 mm, which was later changed to 7.9 mm. It is a gas-retractable machine gun. The barrel is one part, which is more convenient to assemble and disassemble. It is also more lethal due to the larger caliber.

Min! The Ordnance Factory of the Three Eastern Provinces calls it the "13-year-old heavy machine gun".

This battalion of four companies was actually equipped with eighteen heavy machine guns! On average, each company had two! You know, at this time, a Japanese brigade only had ten heavy machine guns!

A brigade is attached to a reinforced battalion! How can this not make others jealous?!

But Zhang Zuolin said: If you can defeat the fourth battalion in the competition, I will also give you guns! Not to mention guns, cannons will do! So, the brother troops who were beaten by the fourth battalion of Tu Qianjun were disgraced.

The flames were turned off. Tu Qianjun had fought against them once or twice in the past two months, and they were beaten to the point of disgrace almost every time. It was really shameful!

So a few days ago, when Zhang Zuolin delivered the newly manufactured Liao 16-year-old 150mm mortar to the Eight Gates of the Fourth Battalion, no one in the entire Anguo Army made a sound except for a gasp of cold air. Of course, there were many people who complained.

In addition to the ten Liao 15-year-old 80mm mortars allocated when the fourth battalion was established, one of Tu Qianjun's battalions actually had eighteen artillery pieces! And the 564 men in his four battalions had 180

The four people were dedicated to serving these eighteen cannons.

Serving them are three artillery platoons, one infantry platoon, one communications squad, one repair squad, and one cooking squad.

The artillery platoon is the main force in combat. Each platoon has 6 guns and each gun has 8 gunners. Mainly when attacking, these 8 people have to carry the gun and the shells and follow the infantry. In peacetime, the movement mainly relies on mules.

, each gun has 3 mules, so there are 3 postmen. Each gun has 11-12 men, and each platoon has about fifty people.
