Return
"Good news, folks. I saw Commander Hu from Black Wind Mountain captured by the soldiers here! This was a great thing. That Hu guy had done all kinds of evil, and now retribution had finally arrived!”A middle-aged man shouted as he ran in the village!
At this moment, a grown man was already in tears. It was obvious that he was extremely excited in his heart!
As for why he was so excited, the reason was very simple. A year ago, when the bandits of the Black Wind Mountain went down the mountain to rob, his son was farming in the fields and did not have time to escape. He was taken away by the bandits of the Black Wind Mountain.
There were only two outcomes if they were taken away. One was to be killed, and the other was to be forced to join the bandits. However, there was no news of his son for a whole year. The result was obvious.
Following behind the middle-aged man, a few soldiers also beat their gongs and drums and shouted,"Our army has wiped out the bandits of Black Wind Mountain. We will hold a public trial in three days. I hope everyone can come and watch.”
Just like that, these few words were shouted over and over again, and the villagers in the village were all very happy after hearing them.
The bandits of the Black Wind Mountain were very ferocious and were famous in the entire area. The common people naturally suffered greatly.
In the villages on the side, there were also many soldiers spreading the news.
Early in the morning, Kong Jie saw that he had nothing to do, so he suggested to Zhang Yu to occupy the surrounding villages.
Coincidentally, Zhang Yu was also afraid that the news would be leaked in advance. Moreover, this suggestion was indeed not a problem. Therefore, after a few companies finished their training early in the morning, they directly headed to the surrounding villages.
In just a few hours, the surrounding seven villages were all taken down by Zhang Yu. These seven villages provided Zhang Yu with a total of 4000 points and 800 points per month.
Zhang Yu exchanged these points for some ordinary second-year soldiers and medic soldiers, and built primary schools and infirmary in these villages.
At the moment, these things were considered necessary infrastructure. As for better infrastructure, they only needed to wait until the village merging project was completed.
Currently, the biggest problem in China's rural areas was that they were too scattered, and the other was the problem of clans. The two problems were not easy to solve. The second problem could be solved through imperceptible influence and legal norms. The first problem could only be solved by moving.
Although this piece of land might have been the place where their ancestors lived, it was a small village with only a few dozen people in modern terms, but it was far away from the central prosperous area. If they wanted to transform those small villages, they would need to spend too much effort, and they basically could not expect to recover the cost.
The most difficult thing to solve was the local people's local complex. In fact, customs and habits could be moved with people, but there would always be people who loved home, especially the elderly.
No matter how bad the environment in their hometown was, it was difficult for them to leave the place where they had lived for most of their lives.
However, Zhang Yu did not intend to let this matter go. China needed to develop quickly, and gathering villages and villages was undoubtedly a good idea. Zhang Yu decided to hand over the conflict that arose from this to his subordinates, who would never take bribes.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Yun Long brought his soldiers and a pile of spoils of war with him as he came to Zhang Yu's side with a smile.
"Hehehe, Commander, guess what I got this time. 300,000 dollars for 15 large yellow croakers and 40 small yellow croakers. This guy has been a bandit for six years and has really made a lot of money. However, I heard from that guy that this is only the small part. The big part has been used by him to bribe the officers in Luoyang and other places. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so carefree.”Li Yunlong said cheerfully. For someone like him who was used to being poor, 300,000 yuan plus these things was indeed a lot.
After Zhang Yu heard this, he nodded and asked,""You should have interrogated these guys, right? Later, go and tell Zhao Gang that the public trial in three days is very important to us. And this time, how are your casualties and losses?”
Li Yunlong nodded and said," Yes, we've basically interrogated them. Of the 213 bandits we caught, about half of them will survive after the public trial. The rest will basically end up in years of reform through labor." No soldiers died in this battle. Only a few people were slightly injured, and the impact was not big.”
"That's good. Later, accompany me to take a look at the injured soldiers. Also, how's the ammunition consumed in this battle?”Zhang Yu said after thinking for a while.
Speaking of which, the problem of ammunition was the most important thing for him at the moment. Although it was not expensive, they were equipped with the MG-42 machine gun. If they fired at full power for a minute, they would need 10 points!
In the end, they were still very poor. If they had a military industry, at least they would not be too stingy in terms of bullets.
"This battle mainly consumed a lot of submachine gun bullets. We fired about 10,000 rounds in total, and the number of rifle bullets was about the same. The remaining consumption was not much, about 100 grenades and dozens of mortar shells. Now that he was going to deal with bandits, he wouldn't use up so many bullets. However, it would be hard to say if he really fought in the future.”Li Yun Long said. He knew what Zhang Yu was worried about.
The weapons and equipment of the people's army were very luxurious, and their firepower was also very powerful, but the consumption was naturally greater.
"I understand. So before a large-scale war breaks out, we must establish a relatively complete supply industry. At the very least, they could produce a small amount of weapons and equipment, as well as a large amount of ammunition and other military supplies.”Zhang Yu said with confidence.
Li Yunlong nodded after hearing this. As a professional soldier, he knew the importance of military industry.
Thinking back to the worst days of his army, when each soldier had five bullets, that was really uncomfortable, not to mention the cannons. On the other hand, the Japanese were given 120 bullets before each battle. Most of the Chinese soldiers would not be able to come into contact with these bullets in their entire lives.
"Yes, so we need to speed up the development. At least we have to find a place with rich minerals. Although the minerals here are not bad, they are still very scarce as the most basic minerals such as iron ore.”Li Yunlong also said with some worry.
The fact was that the iron ore reserves in Jiyuan could be used to build a small steel factory to produce bullets and other items in a short period of time. If the demand was slightly higher, the iron ore reserves here would be emptied in a short period of time.
"That's why you still have to work hard. I'll give you a month to occupy the entire Jiyuan and clear out most of the bandits in the surroundings.”Zhang Yu looked at Li Yun Long and said.
Li Yun Long pondered for a moment before answering,""As long as we have enough ammunition, the logistics are not under much pressure, and there are not too many enemies coming to our side, there will be no problem! It's even possible that we can occupy the entire Jiyuan in half a month!”
"Alright, since that's the case, I've been waiting for you to say this. No matter what, I'll try my best to occupy the entire Jiyuan as soon as possible! It was winter now, so the enemy wouldn't have much of a reaction!”Zhang Yu looked at his subordinate and said with a smile. Then, he walked alone in the direction of his home.
