Cai Hu and his group, along with 20 military ships and the Jianghe Squadron, left Xuzhou Port. They quickly traveled north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. As they traveled at high speed, the waves swept across both sides, creating waves of sound.
Before leaving, Cai Hu threw the 1000 Japanese into Pei County's prison and instructed Liu De to guard them well. He would deal with them after he dealt with the capital.
On the Southwest Tiger.
Cai Hu looked at the lights on both sides of the river and sighed at the wealth along the coast. Many of the surrounding towns and counties had already used electric lights. Although it was not common, it was much better than Chongqing.
The sky outside was dark, and only the powerful searchlights of the warship shone. It was already very cold at this time. Coupled with the fast speed of the warship and the whistling of the wind along the river, it immediately made Cai Hu feel chilly.
The entire cloak whistled and became vertical to his back.
Under Zhang Yilong's persuasion, Cai Hu returned to the cabin to rest. In the cabin, Cai Hu discovered that the system had once again received a large number of strength points.
"Congratulations to the host for winning the battle in Pei County. You have received 300 reputation points!”
"Congratulations to user for obtaining an Epic victory in the East Xuzhou Battle. You have received 2000 Reputation Points!”
"Congratulations to the host for successfully expanding your territory. You have received 3000 Land Points!”
"Congratulations to user, your military strength has increased again. You have obtained 1000 military strength points!”
…
Cai Hu was extremely surprised to see so many strength points. He immediately opened the detailed reasons for each reputation point.
This time, his Land Value had actually increased by so much. When he took down Chongqing and Dazhou, he only had 1200 Land Value.
"Host, Xuzhou is an important city. It has a rich economy and a large population. The system automatically estimates the land value!”
the system said in a mechanical voice.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I've made another huge profit!”
Cai Hu took a look at the system's strength points. He had 17200 strength points now. He had really earned a lot.
After checking the system store, Cai Hu found two pieces of equipment that he liked. One was a light machine gun production line that required 10000 strength points. The other was a grenade launcher production line that required 15000 strength points. It could produce three caliber grenade launchers.
Cai Hu was in great need of light machine guns. The western light machine guns he had bought were the kind that had just been developed and were not commonly used. It was difficult to equip the various gun parts if they were damaged, and it was almost useless. Moreover, the barrel was prone to heat and distortion, and there were constant problems when it was used.
As for the system's light machine gun, it was especially durable. Normally, it would be filled with a little oil every week and a half. At other times, it could shoot as many bullets as it wanted. Its range was also much higher, and its weight was also very small.
It could also be used as a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun. It could even be used for simple air defense (of course, there was no need for air defense in this era because China did not have aircraft except for Cai Hu).
As for the grenade launcher, it was a light mortar that could be carried by a single soldier. Cai Hu took a look. This was very similar to the small steel cannons used by the Japanese in World War II. A soldier would place a small tube there, simply adjust the direction, and release a cannonball over to bombard the other party.
The range was not high, but it could make up for the lack of firepower between the small teams and the large artillery units. In the current chaotic war between the Chinese warlords, it was undoubtedly a good choice to deal with those warlord units with weak firepower.
Moreover, there were three models. Looking at the data and performance, it was much better than the grenade launcher designed by the Japanese not long after.
…
"I still don't have enough strength points!"
Cai Hu sighed, but at least he had enough to exchange for one. After some consideration, Cai Hu decided to exchange for a light machine gun first. When he had enough strength points, he would exchange for a grenade launcher.
…
The 20 Soldier Wheels advanced quickly. These were small sized Soldier Wheels, and there were also mini Soldier Wheels that Cai Hu did not buy. A Soldier Wheel could hold up to 500 people.
Cai Hu had only used so many soldiers at once for the sake of space. The few seats in the cabin were empty, and everyone was resting in the sleeping cabins.
Xuzhou wasn't cold during the day. These soldiers had good physiques, so they didn't wear cotton coats. Now, they took out their new military cotton coats and prepared to change into them later.
The cotton-padded jacket was not thick, but it had excellent cold resistance. It was not unexpected that it was covered with a layer of cowhide on the outside. The inside was not cowhide, but a relatively good fabric, similar to silk, which was especially soft.
These cotton coats were very expensive on the market, but each one had an independent regiment unit number on it. No one dared to sell it.
With the climate of the capital, wearing this kind of cotton-padded clothes would not cause one to feel cold at all, and it would not appear bloated, allowing one to fight with ease.
This was the troops of the Southwestern Marshal Cai Hu. They were not short of money. They had money for the sake of the troops and the people.
The soldiers did not have any entertainment. This was not the time for entertainment. Everyone was resting in their cabins and resting. Every cabin was quiet.
…
The warship moved quickly, and at around three in the morning, it arrived at the end of the Grand Canal, southwest of the capital.
The soldiers woke up an hour earlier. Everyone went to their seats to stay awake. They drank a mouthful of tea and waited for the call from their superiors.
Soon, the fleet docked, and the three infantry battalions of the first regiment came ashore, along with the artillery battalion, the chariot battalion, the companies directly under the regiment headquarters, and the special teams.
The air force did not come. At this time, the air force could not fight at night at all. Their equipment was simple and they did not have night vision goggles.
Even if they brought the air force, they wouldn't be able to use it. Instead, they had to worry about its safety.
After Cai Hu led his troops ashore, he ordered the soldiers of the Jianghe Squadron to protect the logistics and the ships before boarding his military card and heading toward the capital.
The main roads of the capital were even easier to travel. In an hour, Cai Hu's troops arrived at Zhengyang Gate, one of the Nine Gates of the capital.
On Zhengyang Gate, the Northern Braid Army and the black-skinned policemen were yawning. They looked so sleepy that they were about to die. Many of them had returned to the watchtower to rest.
Cai Hu immediately fired at Zhengyang Gate. With just one round of firing, the thick iron gate was blasted open.
"3rd Battalion, occupy the nine gates of the capital after entering the city. Don't let a single bird escape!”
"Cannon Battalion, stand by!"
"2nd Battalion, occupy the police station, bank, Zhang Xun's mansion, and the presidential palace!”
"1st Battalion, special squad, and guard company, follow me to attack the Braid Army's barracks in the city!”
"The Chariot Battalion has sealed off the Forbidden City.”
…
Cai Hu said to the troops of the 1st Regiment.
Every battalion commander was very excited. They nodded and stood at attention. They were full of horse meat. After resting for so long, they were now full of energy.
Although it had been snowing in the capital not long ago, they weren't cold at all. They were wearing thin military gloves to protect their hands, so they didn't feel awkward holding the GeW Mauser rifles.
