Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Seeing their comrades fall, the sharp-eyed people immediately fell to the ground and looked for cover to avoid bullets.

Zhang Sheng on the other side sighed when he saw the battle situation here.

When the two sides were shooting at each other just now, I became excited, thinking that I could attack from the flank and gain advantage.

After a burst of artillery fire, he was shocked by the power.

"Forget it, forget it. I'd better deal with the small group of troops. I can't afford to offend them." Zhang Sheng shouted in a low voice as if joking.

His Second Battalion was also equipped with mortars and grenade launchers, but he didn't like them. When men fight, using those things is not as satisfying as charging headlong.

But the power of the artillery attack also reminded him that next time he rushed forward, he should pay attention to whether the opponent had any artillery, otherwise he would become a dying person.

Just as the soldiers from the first battalion were about to enter Jiang Nansheng's temporary position, dense gunfire was heard from the opposite side, and Jiang Nansheng's second battalion's support arrived.

Immediately, a machine gunner stepped forward, set up his machine gun, and fired at the reinforcements.

Jiang Nansheng should have been happy that reinforcements had arrived, but the embarrassing thing now was that he was in the middle of the exchange of fire between the two sides. This was going to cost him his life.

The attacking soldiers of the first battalion were all armed with 98k rifles, so they were attacked by Jiang Nansheng's second battalion, and several of them were killed and more than a dozen were injured.

With the setting up of several machine guns, the opponent's arrogance was finally suppressed.

Seeing more than a dozen soldiers injured or killed, Fang Tianming's heart was bleeding. He was preparing for another artillery attack when the soldiers of the second battalion rushed out from the side and rear of the opposite position and attacked Jiang Nansheng's second battalion.

"Brothers, beat them hard." Zhang Sheng held his breath. It was finally his turn to show his power.

Fang Tianming also smiled: "Brothers, charge. We won't kill you if you surrender. If you resist, we will kill you immediately."

Jiang Nansheng's Second Battalion quickly collapsed under the siege of the First and Second Battalions of the Guard Regiment. Most of the soldiers surrendered, while a small number were killed in battle.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Jian had entered the garrison camp in Changhuan City.

Sitting in the conference room were Fang Guoxuan, Fang Tianming, Zhang Sheng, Xie Yuan, Wei Hanzhou and Wang Hu.

Fang Guoxuan said: "Commander, the results have been counted."

"In this battle, 964 enemies were killed, 365 captured, 1112 old sleeves, 213 Daxin XI-style guns, and 15 box guns were seized. 37 of our men were killed and 68 were injured."

Fang Guoxuan then said with some regret: "Commander, the mayor of Changhuan City was not caught and escaped, but Jiang Nansheng was captured by us."

Fang Jian nodded, not caring about it. Zhang Shengwu, who was captured before, was treated the same as other prisoners and was also involved in road construction. Jiang Nansheng's future was likely to be the same.

"Let's summarize some of the problems in this battle." Fang Jian said expressionlessly.

Fang Guoxuan did not see any information from Fang Jian's expression. He whispered, "Although our troops have prepared a large amount of automatic firepower, judging from today's raid, the amount of automatic firepower is still insufficient."

Fang Jian nodded. Today, all the submachine guns and light machine guns of the entire regiment were concentrated for use, which resulted in other troops having no other automatic firepower except general-purpose machine guns when attacking.

He was wondering whether to replace the 98k rifles currently equipped by the army with semi-automatic rifles, such as the Garand M1 rifles.

Or to be more direct, we can make an AK47 rifle, but I don’t know if the system can be powerful enough.

With the amount of weapons exchanged every month, it is very difficult to expand the number of semi-automatic weapons in the army.

"Anything else?" Fang Jian temporarily put aside the question of automatic firepower.

After all, in the Great New Kingdom, the number of automatic firepower equipped by itself has far exceeded that of other warlords. This aspect can be supplemented slowly in the future.

Fang Guoxuan introduced: "Also, our officers are not good at using artillery."

"Today, the First Battalion used a three-minute artillery bombardment to wipe out more than 500 people from Jiang Nansheng, directly inflicting heavy damage to him."

Fang Jian knew that among these officers, the most typical representative of what Fang Guoxuan said was Zhang Sheng.

Seeing Fang Jian looking at him, Zhang Sheng said weakly, "Commander, do you have any instructions?"

After summarizing for a while, Fang Jian ordered: "Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Quickly capture the eight counties surrounding Changhuan City."

Afterwards, Fang Guoxuan arranged his troops to be divided into eight groups and rush to the remaining eight counties under the jurisdiction of Changhuan City.

When the others left, Fang Jian began to look melancholy.

The expansion of territory is a good thing, but without talented people to govern, good policies cannot be implemented.

"Let's occupy these territories first, and then slowly improve the situation." Fang Jian sighed.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have captured a new county town and received a bonus infantry company."

……

In the afternoon, eight reminders appeared in Fang Jian's mind in succession, and he could not help but be overjoyed. With a car, he could travel much faster than before.

Afterwards, the system prompt voice appeared in Fang Jian’an’s mind again.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have captured a new city, and you will be rewarded with an infantry battalion."

Including the company given by the system after the capture of Xing County, there are now a total of 9 companies, plus a battalion that has not been withdrawn, for a total of 2714 people.

Fang Jian planned to transfer a company from the First Guard Regiment and use 10 companies plus a battalion to form the Third Guard Regiment.

The Guards Regiment originally had 3574 men, which was already overstaffed. With the transfer of 206 men from one company and the losses from several expeditions, there were still more than 3200 men.

Thinking of this, Fang Jian communicated with the system: "System, extract all nine companies and one battalion."

"Ding, the delivery was successful. It will arrive tomorrow morning. Please check it."

At this time, Fang Guoxuan came over. He frowned and said, "Commander, we didn't find much money in the Changhuan City warehouse."

"How many?" Fang Jian raised his eyebrows.

Fang Guoxuan introduced: "After counting the warehouse, a total of 3 silver dollars, 156 large yellow croakers and 1322 small yellow croakers were seized."

Although the total amount was about 100,000 silver dollars, it was much less than the gains from other cities.

"A troop will arrive tomorrow morning and you will be responsible for arranging the station." Fang Jian said without dwelling on it.

"I plan to extract a company from your unit and merge it into this unit to form the Third Guard Regiment."

"Yes." Fang Guoxuan nodded and saluted, then went down to get busy.

As the number of troops increased, Fang Jian began to have a headache again. Who should be the commander of the Third Guard Regiment?

Currently, the only officer with a four-star command capability is Jiang Xuanqi, the deputy commander of the Second Guard Regiment. Fang Jian is still considering whether to transfer Jiang Xuanqi to be the commander of the Third Guard Regiment.

The quality of officers provided by the system is getting lower and lower. Not only does it take a long time to train local officers, but it also takes longer to cultivate their loyalty.

Early the next morning, I met the battalion commander Yu Hui who was given by the system. The other company and platoon officers were all two-star.

Well, the capabilities are acceptable, but only three stars.
