At night, ten military trucks from the Zaozhuang No. 3 textile mill were on standby. They were loaded with 200,000 pairs of stockings and were transported to Liangang Port under the cover of the night. Li Yao was also present. Boxes of stockings were loaded onto the trucks one after another. The ten military trucks had also been loaded with auxiliary fuel tanks. It was obvious that they would not be able to reach Liangang Port with their own fuel tanks!
"Be quick. We have to deliver the goods to the port before dawn!!”
Ma Dexian commanded everyone. This was the first time that they had transported goods on such a large scale to a port that was so far away. Li Yao had already arranged for an infantry battalion of the Iron-Blood Army to enter the port area of Liangang in advance!
However, they had to pass through dozens of checkpoints along the way. The people in charge of this transportation mission were all veterans left behind from the Songhu battlefield. They were all smarter than monkeys. The brigade commander was going to do something big, so they were more motivated than before!
How could kings and generals have seeds?
In the past, the higher-ups of the national army were either elite students from Huangpu Military Academy, or students from other military academies, or some " capable people " who were related to them. How could they be put in an important position? However, the Iron Blood Army was different. As long as one was willing to learn, improve, and be loyal to a colonel, the road to promotion was very easy. Moreover, the Iron Blood Army continued to expand its troops. Their future was very bright!!
At 7:20 pm, the military truck loaded with 200,000 pairs of stockings officially set off. Li Yao also made a phone call and arrived at Liangang Port!
Liangang Port was the Iron Blood Army's garrison base. The Iron Blood Army's infantry battalion had already completed their mission of controlling the port. With a total of 400 soldiers, they were divided into three companies, each of them coming from three different directions. They completely controlled this not-so-large port. Compared to the bustling southern ports such as Tianhai, Yangcheng, Zhoushan, and Xiadao, the Liangang Port was still in an undeveloped stage. It didn't even have a large ship repair yard!
The merchant ship that was going to cross the ocean this time was also under the Ying Country's Ocean Company. In this day and age, as long as you had money, the Omi Country could even sell you battleships!!
Jinan also received a call from Suiyuan County at around 8:20 pm. However, the following conversation was also within Li Yao's calculations!
The commander of the Suiyuan Security Regiment, Tu Renfu, had also heard it from his brothers!
"Chief Chen, ten trucks passed by Suiyuan County just now. After inspection, they said that they came from the Jinan military!!”
Wang Zhonghua, the chief traffic officer of East Mountain, was quick-witted. In the afternoon, someone had already called to inform him that if anyone asked about the ten trucks, he would immediately answer. Moreover, he had also prepared a response!
Now, it was naturally flawless!!
There were many more details like this. However, in the end, they finally arrived at Liangang Port safely!
The next morning, at 5:20 am, Li Yao was also woken up by Chen Zhiwen. Li Yao, who was a little sleepy, opened the door and saw Chen Zhiwen with a smile on his face!
Last night, Li Yao finally sorted out the expansion plan of the Iron-Blood Army. He didn't go to bed until one o'clock in the morning. Therefore, he didn't wake up early today. It was really tiring to be the chairman!
"Traveler, the Lian Gang just called. Our goods are ready to be shipped!!”
Li Yao, who was suddenly awakened, pulled Chen Zhiwen into the house and quickly spread out the huge map of Northern Jiangsu and Eastern Mountain. In the past few days, Li Yao had been wondering where the Iron-Blooded Army would attack next!
"Zhiwen, come and take a look. Lian Gang is less than 200 kilometers away from Zaozhuang, and Jiaozhou Port is nearly 200 kilometers away. Zaozhuang is located in the middle of Jiangnan and Dongshan. Since we can't take Jiaozhou, we'll settle for the next best thing and occupy Lian Gang.!”
At the mouth of the sea, the area under the jurisdiction of the Iron Blood Army was expanding almost every day. In the border areas of Jiangnan and Dongshan, a squad could often occupy a small village. In addition, the military factory in Zaozhuang had a large number of firearms, which were constantly arming the army. The patrol troops in various places were also quickly armed. Therefore, in just a short week, the area controlled by the Zaozhuang autonomous government had more than doubled!!
"Traveler, do you mean that the next step of the Iron Blood Army's plan is to connect the ports?？”
Chen Zhiwen's eyes widened. Lian Gang was already a county. With the current Iron Blood Army's strength, it would be too difficult to control a county!
Li Yao smiled.
"Everything depends on effort. Lian Gang is currently the easiest city for the Iron Blood Army to capture. Moreover, it has the convenience of a port. In the future, Lian Gang will be our war base and Zaozhuang will be our springboard!”
"By the way, how's the construction of the patrol troops in each village going?”
The Iron Blood Army still maintained the size of three infantry regiments. However, the patrolling troops below were the new blood of the Iron Blood Army. Although they were just a spark, they would eventually become a prairie fire!!
"In the past few days, the influence of the Zaozhuang autonomous government has been growing in the twelve villages that have joined the government, including Cao Jiashe, Xiji Village, Zhongbao Village, Xinjian Village, and so on. Therefore, more villages will join us in the future, and more people will join our autonomous government. Including the previous population of 100,000, there are now another 100,000 people. According to yesterday's statistics, the patrol troops in various places have been fully established. The smaller villages have 100 patrol troops, and the larger villages have 200 or 300 people. With an officer of the Iron Blood Army as their instructor, the patrol troops would definitely be able to improve quickly!!”
Li Yao had marked a large area on the map. The area was red, indicating that it was occupied by the Iron-Blood Army. Baldy Jiang could never have imagined that the independent brigade that he had given up on the battlefield of Songhu had made such a great achievement in the border area of two provinces!
However, the Iron Blood Army did not have a large county under their command. That was why Li Yao came up with the next attack plan. He planned to capture Liangang and place the Iron Blood Army's future development base in the northern part of Jiangsu. The land was vast and sparsely populated, so he could strive for the safest environment for development. Moreover, Zaozhuang could also keep an eye on the situation on the Jiaozhou Peninsula and send troops at any time to resist the Japanese invaders!!
New book, tickets! Writing was not easy. The author would like to thank all the bosses, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, and parents!!!
