A few days later, news came from Xichang City. Liu Wenhui's 30,000 men had arrived in Mianning County, which was about 80 kilometers away from Xichang City. With their speed of 20 kilometers per day, they would arrive near Xichang in about three to four days.
The Air Force had already done a thorough investigation of this unit. Almost every day, there would be Air Force fighter jets flying over them to investigate, and they had more or less figured out their background.
This was almost half of Liu Wenhui's military strength, and there was an elite brigade among them, about 5000 people. This was Liu Wenhui's trump card.
However, this so-called trump card unit was not as well-equipped as the 1st Red Alert Division. This brigade was equipped with about 30 different types of machine guns and an artillery battalion with 12 75mm cannons and more than 20 mortars.
Currently, there were only three regiments, two infantry battalions, and one artillery battalion in Xichang City. The first regiment and one battalion rushed to Zhaojue County, which was connected to Liu Xiang's territory. At the same time, there was a 203mm artillery company that rushed over. There were a total of four 203mm heavy howitzers.
Although the current Red Alert Division was lacking in defensive strength and needed to counterattack Liu Wenhui's territory, the lack of military strength could be made up for with firepower. With four or more large-caliber heavy artillery there, Liu Xiang would have to weigh his own weight even if he wanted to attack.
Chu Zian placed the artillery position outside Zhaojue County. More than 800 soldiers from the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment were stationed in this small county. At present, a government agency had been established here. With Yanyuan County as a good pilot county, all the work was carried out smoothly.
Liu Xiang also paid a lot of attention to the battle that happened on Liu Wenhui's side. It was indeed as Chu Zi 'an had expected. Although he had fought to the death with Liu Wenhui, in his opinion, this was only his family's business. Now that Chu Zi' an had suddenly appeared, it made him very unhappy.
Moreover, this was also a good opportunity to occupy the western part of Sichuan, so Liu Xiang also had the idea.
In Liu Xiang's office in Chengdu, Sichuan, he was currently throwing a tantrum. A photo on the ground was clearly displayed in front of him. It was an artillery position outside Zhaojue County. Six 203mm heavy howitzers were placed directly here.
He was still very wary of heavy artillery. Even the artillery of western countries did not have many of these 203mm heavy howitzers. He did not expect a small force to have so many of them.
However, when he thought of the Reaper Firearms Company behind Chu Zian, he felt a little powerless. It was obvious that this was the support of the Reaper Firearms Company. Otherwise, Chu Zian would not have so many cannons. He had heard that Chu Zian still had fighter jets in his hands.
This made him feel a great sense of threat. If Chu Zian swallowed Liu Wenhui's territory, then he would be the unlucky one. He could not let Chu Zian grow stronger. This was what he was thinking now.
However, he did not have the confidence to break through the cannon array that Chu Zian had set up. Moreover, the number of cannons was increasing, which was what made him collapse the most.
Three days ago, there were only four. Two days later, it became six.
Chu Zian did not lack cannons. He could even get his hands on 380mm or even Paris cannons, let alone 203mm ones. However, he could not use them. It was difficult to transport even 203mm heavy howitzers, let alone heavier cannons.
The unrest in Sichuan attracted the attention of other forces, but they treated it as an ordinary rebellion and did not take it to heart.
In Yanyuan County, Chu Zian said to the person in charge of the recruit training camp,""How many people have been recruited by the recruit camp?”
The lack of troops was the biggest weakness at the moment, so he was still very concerned about the recruitment of troops.
"Commander, a few days ago, we transferred about 8000 people from the captives who meet the requirements for recruits. In addition to the 5000 people we recruited, as long as you give me three months, I can turn them into a qualified army!”the person in charge replied.
Chu Zian frowned." Three months is too long. Can't it be shorter?"”
The person in charge also said with some difficulty,"Commander, if we want them to form their initial combat strength faster, we can only increase the amount of training. However, we need a large amount of meat to replenish their training consumption, but it will take at least two months.”
"Then increase the amount of training. I'll solve the problem of meat!”Chu Zian waved his hand and said.
The problem of meat could only be solved through breeding. Next, he only needed to build a few large-scale breeding farms. In the early stages, he could purchase from the outside world and use the breeding farms in the future.
There would definitely be more people being sent to the training camp. Chu Zian had already lowered his standards as much as possible to recruit them.
However, the base's artificial intelligence said that when he was promoted to a second-level commander, he would have a way to solve the problem of the soldiers 'physical fitness.
