Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

It took the security team a whole day to finish unloading the goods. Su Zhengyang looked at the large number of cars parked in the security team’s base and nodded with satisfaction.

"Captain Su, this is the list of our aid supplies. Please check it."

Su Zhengyang motioned for Gu Chenghai to take the list. Gu Chenghai took the list and read out, "This time, the Peace Arms Company donated 400 tons of refined rice, 600 tons of refined flour, 98K Mauser rifles, 88-type committee rifles, 300 million rounds of bullets, 500 military tents, marching rations for individual soldiers, 50 Czech light machine guns, 30 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, and 20 wooden-handled grenades to our security group..."

It took Gu Chenghai more than ten minutes to finish reading the contents of the list.

"Oh my god, our security team has so many cars this time!"

"We even have 75mm mountain cannons and 105mm howitzers. You know, there are only a few troops in Linzhou Province that can be equipped with cannons."

Liu Gangding, Gu Chenghai, Liu Chengxu and other core members all had shining eyes. After so many years of military service, even the knowledgeable Liu Gangding had never seen such abundant military supplies before.

"Captain Su, if there is no problem with the amount of aid supplies, I will take my people away. I look forward to our next meeting."

After Cruz left, the officers of the security corps gathered around several 105mm howitzers, with excitement in their eyes, and they wished they could sleep with the gun barrels at night.

Su Zhengyang kicked Liu Gangding on the butt and felt a headache looking at the brand new Krupp 105 howitzer. He had never fiddled with this big guy in his previous life. He also thought that Liu Gangding and the other old men who followed him probably wouldn't be able to use this guy either.

"Captain, this thing is good, but we don't have anyone who can use it."

Liu Kangding scratched his head and expressed his concerns.

Gu Chenghai smiled smugly and said, "You don't know how to use it, but I do. When I was in Jiangbei Military Academy, I learned how to use this thing in the artillery regiment of the Soviet army. It's very accurate. With these artillery pieces, we can set up an artillery battalion. This thing is a killer on the battlefield. Just one 105mm howitzer requires eight people to serve."

Su Zhengyang was also checking the relevant information about the Krupp 105 howitzer in the system.

Caliber: 105mm L/31

Length: 2.941 m

Width: 1.98 meters

Height: 1.88 meters

Combat weight: 1985 kg

Gun elevation angle: -5 degrees to +42 degrees

Artillery firing range: plus or minus 56 degrees left and right

Maximum rate of fire: 7 rounds/min (approximately equal to)

Muzzle velocity: 540 m/s

Maximum range: 12 325 meters

Staffing: 8 people

When this shell explodes, anyone within a radius of twenty meters will be instantly blown into pieces, leaving no one alive.

Not to mention, this time the system also rewards 20 60mm mortars and eight 75mm mountain cannons, which are enough to establish an artillery battalion.

Su Zhengyang pointed to the three-wheeled vehicles parked neatly not far away, which were also nicknamed the Colonel's Happy Car by netizens in later generations, and said with a smile: "With these cars and three-wheeled motorcycles, we can even form a highly mobile motorized infantry regiment. With the current firepower configuration of our security regiment, no one in the warlord troops of the entire Linzhou can be our opponent."

After all the supplies were put into storage, Su Zhengyang looked at the officers gathered in the Security Corps Operations Command Room and slowly said, "Now that we have annihilated the 352nd and 358th Regiments, we have completely torn our relationship with the Guo warlords. In their eyes, we are rebels! They will send troops to wipe us out at any time. In this case, we will rise up, break away from the control of the Guo warlords, and establish our own military organization!"

"I declare that from today on, our security group will be officially renamed the Northwest Revolutionary Army. I, Su Zhengyang, will be the commander, Lao Liu will be the deputy commander, and Qin Huaiyi will be the chief of staff!"

"The current security corps of more than 500 troops has been reorganized into the First Division of the Northwest Revolutionary Army. The First Division has three brigades and a reinforced regiment of people. Each brigade has three regiments plus an artillery battalion. Each regiment includes three reorganized battalions, each with people."

Liu Gangding frowned and said, "In this case, we will need about 17,000 soldiers to form the First Division. With our current number of troops, there is still a gap of several thousand people."

Su Zhengyang nodded and said, "I've thought about it. Together with the surrendered soldiers from the 352nd and 358th Regiments, we are still short of about people. Lao Liu, you will be responsible for the third conscription in Sanjiang County, with a conscription of people. After the formation of the First Division is completed, we must develop rapidly and form the Second Division as soon as possible."

"Liu Chengxu will be the commander of the First Division. Everyone can see Chengxu's ability. Gu Chenghai will be the chief of staff! As for the remaining officers at all levels, the brigade level will be filled by our veterans, and the brigade commanders will appoint the officers below that."

"Everyone, we live in an era of war. The great powers are eyeing China covetously, and the warlords are constantly fighting each other. We must rise from the northwest, swallow up the world, become the largest warlord force in China, and drive out all those bandits who are showing off their power in our land! And the establishment of the Northwest Revolutionary Army is the first step in our rise! I also ask everyone to work with me, Su Zhengyang, for this dream, to sacrifice our lives and shed our blood to revive the might of our China!"

Su Zhengyang's powerful words aroused the blazing fire in everyone's hearts. The officers of the security regiment stood up one by one and said in unison without hesitation: "Sacrifice your own life! Revitalize the might of China!"

This is a special era and also an era of humiliation. Since Su Zhengyang was reborn into this era and activated the system, everything is destined. He must shoulder the mission that he should shoulder and lead the entire China to the top of the world step by step.

"I'll give you five days to recruit new soldiers. Five days later, we'll hold a swearing-in ceremony and formally establish the Northwest Revolutionary Army!"

"Yes, Captain, don't worry, I will complete the task you assign to me within five days."

"Except for the first batch of soldiers in our security team, most of the others are new recruits who have never been to the battlefield. You have to pay more attention to the training, Gu Chenghai! The training of the artillery is now in your hands. I will only give you two months. You have to train an artillery unit that can hit whatever it points to!"

"Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the mission!"

A group of passionate young people began to play their own chapter of the era at this time. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and the journey of the Northwest Revolutionary Army officially took the first step from this moment.
