Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Of course, although a lot of money was made in these three months, the military pay and material consumption cost 10 silver dollars, leaving Fang Jian's own small treasury with only 40 silver dollars.

Soldiers rewarded by the system were paid 6 silver dollars per soldier per month, while militia soldiers were paid 4 silver dollars per soldier per month.

In the conference room at the new army’s base, Fang Jianan, Wei Hanzhou, Fang Guoxuan, Fang Tianming, Fang Weian, Fang Weiguo, Fang Weijia, Zhang Wei, Wang Hu, Sun Yuhua, Zhang Sheng, Liu Changyi, Peng Yunguang and others gathered together.

Francis Xan said: "The initial training of the new army has been completed, and it is time to start reorganization."

"I decided to reorganize the new army into the First Regiment of the Revolutionary Army, with Zhang Wei as the regiment commander, Sun Yuhua, Liu Changyi, and Peng Yunguang as battalion commanders, and Shao Wenli as director of political propaganda."

"The total number of troops is tentatively set at 2,000. The remaining 500 will be assigned partly to the police department and partly to the militia."

According to the organization of the infantry regiment, a battalion has 860 people, a regiment has more than people, and a regiment of more than people is not fully staffed. But there is no way, the current number of new troops is only this much.

"The two original guard battalions were reorganized into a guard regiment, with Fang Guoxuan as the regiment commander, and Fang Tianming and Zhang Sheng as the battalion commanders of the first and second battalions respectively."

Zhang Sheng's command ability is slightly weaker, only two stars, but his combat and firearms have reached three and a half stars, which is just right for use as a guard.

"Fang Weiguo will continue to serve as the director of the police station, Fang Weijia will be responsible for managing the militia soldiers, and Fang Weian will be in charge of the military academy."

Fang Weian, Fang Weiguo and Fang Weijia looked obviously disappointed. It was no good for a police chief, the person in charge of the militia and the military academy, to come with soldiers. But the three did not dare to object and all accepted the arrangement.

Francis Jian planned to open up the former small military academy to train junior officers for the army.

As for senior military officers, if you don’t have four-star command ability, forget it.

Afterwards, Fang Jian looked at Wei Hanzhou and Wang Hu and asked, "How is the special operations team training going?"

"Of the thirty people selected before, only eight were qualified after training." Speaking of the special operations team, Wei Hanzhou shook his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Fang Jian comforted him, "Eight people is not bad. Special operations soldiers are selected from ten thousand. We can select eight people from two or three thousand people. It's good enough."

After receiving Fang Jian's comfort, Wei Hanzhou and Wang Hu's expressions looked much better.

"After the reorganization of the troops, the first battle will be to choose Li Wenbiao on Luofeng Mountain and destroy them in one battle. Do you have the confidence?" Fang Jian asked, looking at Zhang Wei and other officers of the First Regiment.

"Yes." Zhang Wei and others immediately stood up and answered loudly.

Two days later, on the side of a small road, surrounded by densely packed soldiers, several people were sitting on a large rock within the circle of soldiers.

Fang Jian frowned as he looked at the scribbled map and asked, "Zhang Wei, how are you going to fight this battle?"

For this expedition to Luofeng Mountain, the First Regiment sent out a total of more than 700 people. Each of the three battalions sent out a company, and together with the guard company of the regiment headquarters, they formed a bandit suppression force.

"It's summer now, the hottest time of the year. I plan to launch a surprise attack in the afternoon." Zhang Wei said. He did not take these bandits seriously.

"The main force will charge in from the front gate and send two platoons to launch a surprise attack from the flanks."

Fang Jian nodded slightly. There was really no trick to this kind of siege. Although it was hot, the trained soldiers were definitely different from those without discipline.

Zhang Wei quickly arranged the situation, and Sun Yuhua's 1st Battalion, 1st Company and 2 platoons were assigned to carry out the flanking mission. The 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion attacked from the main gate, and the 1st Company of the 3rd Battalion cooperated with the 2nd Battalion to attack from the front.

At half past one, Franciscan and his men hid under the shade of a tree. Mortars had been set up not far away, and this time they brought three mortars.

The caliber of Franciscan's exchange mortar is 60, and the maximum range is 5000 meters.

Not far from the mortar, two companies of soldiers were hiding. Although they were sweating profusely, they still maintained iron discipline with their strong will and extreme endurance.

"Fire." Following Zhang Wei's order, the gunner put the shells into the gun barrel. Three shells whistled and smashed into the bandit stronghold of Luofeng Mountain.

"Boom, boom, boom."

As several explosions were heard, thick smoke could be seen rising from the mountain village not far away.

It was already the hottest time of the summer, and just after noon, the houses in the village were burning down due to the artillery fire.

As the shells continued to pour down, the village was in chaos, with bandits running around everywhere to avoid the shells.

The first company fired thirty shells, the mortars stopped firing, and the soldiers of the first company of the second battalion began to charge.

"Da da da……"

“Thump, thump, thump…”

"Crack, crack..."

Soon, a group of soldiers rushed to the gate of the mountain stronghold, and an exchange of fire broke out, with gunshots heard. The soldiers on Francis Jian's side were equipped with 98k rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns.

For this kind of fast-paced siege, no general-purpose machine guns were carried. General-purpose machine guns require two people to operate, a shooter and an ammunition handler. This kind of rapid offensive battle makes them somewhat cumbersome to use.

Inside the mountain stronghold, Li Wenbiao and others were stunned by the explosion. It took them a long time to realize that they were being attacked.

Li Wenbiao roared, "Fuck it, don't panic, find cover and wait for the enemy to rush in."

"Boss, it's no use. Several places are on fire." A bandit said in a crying voice.

Originally, bandits were just for making a living. Who has ever seen something like this? In the past, when people robbed, didn't most of them use spears, sticks, or muskets?

Those who can hold guns are all powerful forces. The continuous artillery bombardment made this bandit want to find his mother.

Li Wenbiao was furious and shot the crying bandit dead, cursing, "That bastard, what a coward."

Under the bombardment, Li Wenbiao did not dare to rush out, he did not believe that the enemy would continue to bombard them with shells. As long as they engaged in close combat, he felt that with the bravery of his brothers, they still had a chance to defeat the enemy.

"Damn it, where are these enemies from? Why are their firepower so strong?" However, when the enemy rushed up, Li Wenbiao was a little confused.

From the sound of gunfire, we can judge that the enemy is very powerful, and it is all automatic firepower, how can we stop it?

He felt like crying but had no tears. He just stayed in the village, living a simple life, making some money from time to time, and bringing back some women. As for being targeted by artillery and automatic fire?

Li Wenbiao shouted at the big man beside him, "Second brother, you take a team to push forward, I will attack from the side, and we will fight them off from both sides first."

"Boss, I'd better go by the side." The man next to him, although big and strong, was not stupid.

He felt that the boss was going to run away and wanted him to step forward to buy him some time. He would not be foolish enough to step forward in this matter.

Seeing that Lao Er was not fooled, Li Wenbiao looked at the thin and gentle man in his thirties next to him and said, "Lao San, you take the people to guard the main gate, and Lao Er and I will go around the side door to the back of the enemy."
