153 The Storm Is Coming

The titles in the army have also been adjusted. A series of titles officially began to change with the word "comrade". The word "official" was deliberately avoided, and the word "member" was replaced.The commander of the legion was renamed the commander, the commander was renamed the commander, and the Leszek officer in charge of political work was called the instructor.

At the same time, many titles were adjusted and changed. The cook was called the cook, the groom was called the breeder, the messenger was called the messenger, the military doctor was called the hygienist, and the one in charge of military music and orders was called the trumpeter. , responsible for the main fighters also known as combatants, etc., have been replaced by equal titles.

Deepening democracy in the military is one of the main tasks that Sun Boyang has been pursuing.The Fifteenth Army is a revolutionary army, a new army that is different from any old army. Before the development plan, democracy in the army had already begun to flourish, but it was not until today that it was decided to officially promote it to the most core part.

The Soldiers Committee was established, the branch of the army was established, and the establishment of the branch was supported by the majority of soldiers. The soldiers applied one after another to become a glorious Leszek member. When the identity officers wear red badges, the soldiers who have not yet entered the ranks feel particularly envious. They also want to become members as soon as possible, just like those old soldiers, to help new soldiers and the masses.

Discipline is implemented downwards. With the rise of literacy and culture in the army, as well as the army's fair rules and regulations and sufficient food, discipline has always been kept in mind by the soldiers in the [-]th Army. From the beginning of its establishment, the [-]th Army The army has always strictly observed discipline and resolutely implemented those four characters.

In addition to politics, democracy, and expansion, the weapons and equipment in the army are also the top priority. In the development plan, the performance of the firearms currently used by the army must be improved and adjusted, and the artillery must be further developed.At the same time, the invention of a new throwing weapon was also put on the agenda. It was planned to formally research another throwing weapon to be used together with Molotov. The code name of this weapon was tentatively called "weight" by Sherman playfully.

The muskets are doing their best to upgrade and develop. The current flintlock guns have always had a very serious problem, that is, it is very laborious to load the ammunition, and they need wooden hammers and various tools.In response to this problem, the musket research and development team also officially started to tackle the problem, planning to design a fast filling method, not only to improve the loading speed, but also to achieve a closed effect, improve accuracy and range.

The design of the breech-loading gun is still only in the conception stage, which also involves Sun Boyang's knowledge blind spot. He can only propose an idea, and then hand it over to the musket research and development team to design.Fortunately, the dwarf guns of the Dwarf Kingdom are also designed for breech loading. This sample also gave the R&D team a lot of design directions, and then made substantial adjustments to the design based on the current guns.

The dwarves' firecrackers really don't need any gunpowder to be activated, and are only powered by magic crystals and enchanted magic circles. It's a pity that this superb design technology is not the workmanship or materials required by the Zhongnan government. It can be done, so it can only slowly develop and design its own breech gun.

The change of artillery is also necessary. Although it seems that the damage caused by the use of solid shells is still very high, as the times change, other forces will definitely change accordingly in the future. By then, this kind of solid shells must be The effect will not be much better.

Blossom bombs, or exploding cannonballs, started to be developed after the research team communicated with the alchemy chemistry teachers. The alchemists are also considered to be glorious ancestors. They changed from chickens to phoenixes overnight, and became teachers respected by everyone.No one thought that in the 30 years of Hedong and the 30 years of Hexi, in the eyes of the government, their non-business has become a business, and even specially organized a discipline for this.

If this is seen by those colleagues in the Ossus Empire, they may suffer much jealousy.

Religious affairs are developing steadily, and Father March continues to be in charge.Under the reform of the Reformation Committee, the work of the Holy Church is mainly placed on the facts, emphasizing that it must play its own role.Or use your spare time to treat people, or help teach, or make other contributions.

For the existence of religion, Sun Boyang has always viewed it with an attitude of neither excessive interference nor excessive indulgence.The Holy See's requirements for religious beliefs are actually not very tough, because they were suppressed in the early days of the founding of Yongdalim.Now there are widespread Qingxiu religious figures in the Central South Government making contributions in the religious circles, and they share the same goal as Leszek.Also for the sake of the interests of the people.

According to Sun Boyang's vision, with the continuous improvement and progress of culture, religion will always fade away naturally, and gradually change from a superstitious sect to a unique local culture. At that time, the mission of religion will end, and they will just It is enough to play its own cultural role, to be a sign that people celebrate joy.

In fact, if you look at the early scriptures of the Holy See, you will know that the same thing is completely different in the mouths of the Puritans and the Hedonists. When the Puritans interpret the scriptures and tell people, they always emphasize labor and their own efforts. , When telling the story of Di Polo's lord descending to the mortal world, he also emphasized Di Polo's teachings to people.The hedonists are just the opposite. They try their best to praise the glory of the Lord God, label themselves as walkers on the ground, and emphasize that what people have now is bestowed by the Lord God.

Even though they also told the story of Dipolo's descent to earth, the hedonistic religious people emphasized Dipolo's punishment of evil and promotion of good and divine power, and deliberately ignored Dipolo's earnest teachings to people.Based on this point, the Qingxiu School is progressive, more in line with the ideas of the general public but not in the interests of the rulers.This is why they have been suppressed by the hedonists.

After synthesizing the scriptures and the Manifesto, Father March put forward a new theological interpretation, that is, the image of Dipolo's descent to earth in the early days would not be much different from what the Central South government is doing now.

The adjustment of the business community, according to the plan, private stores still exist, the market is definitely impossible to completely cancel under the current situation, but the bulk of the goods under the government will still be in charge of the state-owned factories, with the state-owned factories as the main force, and the market and private stores only It plays the role of helping to adjust the trading of the underlying market and other promotional functions.For example, to stimulate healthy competition between the state-owned and the private sector, and to prevent various problems on one of them.

In the final analysis, it is impossible for the Zhongnan government to set up state-owned enterprises in all walks of life, and it is impossible to do so at once.It is even more impossible to cancel all private stores at once.Besides, what should other regions do in the future?Will other regions panic because of this?What about the customs of the people?Should the petty bourgeoisie continue to unite?All this requires a process of transformation, from simple to difficult, from narrow to wide.

After tense internal discussions and votes, the internal decision was made to maintain the situation of strengthening state-owned stores|factories. After the current development task is over, it will start to expand the market share of state-owned enterprises, and continuously cancel private ownership with public ownership until it is realized. The last one is completely canceled, and the private tail is cut off a little bit, and enters the primary stage.

Representatives of the Hannei and the Merchants Federation also had a heated discussion on this, discussing whether to gradually replace the private sector with the state, and finally achieve complete government control, or whether the government is only responsible for regulation and specific instructions to only focus on some major commodities and industries, while others Leave it to the merchant to do it.These two plans naturally went through prolonged discussions, but in the end, all voted to implement the former plan.

Yongdalim has been in a feudal society for a long time, and the asset aspect has not been well developed in the first place. It has always been controlled by the royal family and nobles. Otherwise, the bourgeoisie would not counterattack and overthrow His Majesty Ivan.On the other hand, general representatives of the industrial and commercial circles have seen the barbaric growth and expansion of the bourgeoisie in the past three years, which has squeezed countless small businessmen and ruined their families.Because of this, these small business representatives also understand that the government's control is actually helping them, so they finally agreed to the first plan. Anyway, the government also said that they will pay for future acquisitions, and they will continue to hire They work.

The state-owned factory owners under the government produce several important commodities for daily life to maintain the normal living needs of the modern people.The businessmen naturally chose other industries that the government could not take care of now, such as hotels, restaurants, magic material stores, and food stores.At this point, the structure of the business world has finally been preliminarily settled, and the Zhongnan government can finally take care of its top priorities.

On September 25, the central government signed a secret agreement with the Central South Noble Alliance Army to discuss the temporary cessation of the war and give priority to attacking the Central South government.

On September 27, the Fafnir Legion and the Central South Noble Army signed an armistice agreement under the order of the central government and officially ceased fighting.

On the 28th, the government army signed an armistice agreement with the Central South Noble Army, and the three major cities reconnected with the Fafnir Army.

On the [-]th, the Fafnir Legion blocked the border with the Central South Government, and frequently provoked troubles on the border, provoking the Central South Government's militia.

On October [-]th, the aristocratic coalition forces were integrated, led by Earl Simac and General Linilea, with a total of [-] troops, approaching the outside of the Central South Government.

On the [-]th, the Southeast Province blocked the border and blocked the underground trade routes between the Central South Province, the Southeast Province and the Central Province.

On the [-]th, the Fafnir Legion ordered the [-]th Army to arrive at the designated location as required for review and reorganization.

On the [-]th, a small unit of the Fafnir Legion crossed the border of the Central-South Government, and was fought back by our militia.The central government defined the incident as a rebellion, and ordered the Central South government to immediately hand over the resistance militia, and immediately let the Fafnir Legion reorganize the [-]th Army.

On the [-]th, Comrade Sun Boyang publicly issued a statement that the Central Province's betrayal of the charter and its collusion with the nobles undoubtedly violated the charter. The Central South government rejected this unreasonable rebellion order.

On the 23rd, the central government charged Sun Boyang with assassinating the king and called for revenge for His Majesty Alexander.The Fafnir Legion and the allied forces of the nobles began to approach the border, and the Sino-South War kicked off, and the war broke out.

154 The Central South War

"The visitor is not kind." Sitting beside Sun Boyang, Okdo said, frowning as he looked at the combat report in his hand.

"Strictly speaking, we are the ones who came." Sun Boyang said with a light smile while holding a cigarette.

"I'm afraid it won't be so easy to deal with this time. The Fafnir Legion and the noble coalition have assembled a total of [-] troops, and they will attack me in two ways." Okedo explained to Sun Boyang.

"It's very rich." Sun Boyang laughed disdainfully.

"Report, Commander Sherman and other commanders are here." The guard knocked on the door and walked in to salute Sun Boyang.

"Call everyone to come in, don't wait outside." Sun Boyang and Okedo stood up, walked to the big map on the wall of the room, and touched the map thoughtfully.

"Comrade Sun Boyang." Commander Sherman saluted Sun Boyang, and walked forward with several others.

"Well, Comrade Sherman." Sun Boyang stepped on the bench and leaned on the wall with one hand, nodded and replied.

"This aspect still has to be left to a professional." Sun Boyang inspected the map for a long time, then jumped down with a smile and said.

"Comrade Sherman, tell me about your battle plan."

"Okay, then I'll briefly talk about the battle plan with Comrade Rebio." Sherman nodded, picked up a charcoal pencil on the table, and drew on the map.

"From the comparison of soldiers, our [-]th Army now has a total of [-] soldiers, with sufficient supplies and ammunition. It is enough to support the battle."

"In addition, all members of our army have been equipped with flintlock guns to fight. Except for half of the cavalry troops who still have to take on the assault mission, the rest of the soldiers have a very high advantage in terms of armament." Sherman took a card from Rebio. The paper was nailed to the wall again, it was about the arming and personnel of the [-]th Army.

"The Fafnir Legion, that is, the Tenth Legion. Their strength is about 5000, but according to the reply from Comrade Leszek who is active in the area controlled by Fafnir, the enemy regiment is about 2 From [-] to [-] people, the remaining [-] or so soldiers are probably still on the western and northern lines of defense, guarding against Grand Duke Nicholas' looting and possible attacks by the central and southern nobles."

"I knew it was like this, why did I do it at the beginning?" Migucci said with a smile in his arms, and the other comrades also laughed, feeling disdain for the timidity of the Fafnir Legion.

"I'm afraid they're trying to catch ducks to the shelves, and they won't do if they don't." Sun Boyang said calmly.

"I'm afraid they are eager to separate one side and be their own land king forever. It's a pity that the economic line between this and the southeast is cut off because of our existence, so they have no choice but to come."

"If you dare to come, I'll beat him out of his body!" Penny said with a fist clenched.

"Yes, hit him out of his body!" Sun Boyang agreed with this sentence very much, looked at Sherman again, and gestured with his hand holding a cigarette.

"Comrade Sherman, you continue."

"Okay, then I'll continue." Sherman nodded and continued after thinking for a while.

"According to the records of the Toliask factory, the Fafnir Legion asked the central government for a total of [-] flintlock guns and five artillery pieces. In addition, they already had the Griffin Air Cavalry and the established war magic Division. Our main difficult target should be against this small group of elite troops."

"Griffin cavalry is a problem that needs to be solved." General Rebio nodded.

"We still don't have weapons that can attack the Griffin Cavalry. This is our biggest disadvantage. If the enemy's air force attacks our headquarters and operations department with air superiority, it will be very difficult to end."

Sherman pretended to sigh and looked at Sun Boyang again. Seeing Sherman's appearance, Sun Boyang almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but he still patted Sherman on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Comrade Sherman, don't worry too much. It's still immature, and the kind of aircraft we envisioned is not suitable for manufacturing. But the comrades in the research and development team have already begun to work hard with the Magicians Union. The high-level magic crystals on the earliest cannons were removed, and all of them were used in research." Sun Boyang said to everyone with a gentle smile.

"And there will always be a way. I have entrusted the Adventurer's Union to issue a commission to find adventurers who can deal damage to flying creatures. They will always encounter flying monsters in battle, and they should have their own set." Stupid Method"."

"That's the only way to go." Commander Sherman scratched his head helplessly and said.

"As soon as the battle begins, the headquarters must make preparations for concealment." Sun Boyang sternly ordered his comrades with his hands on his hips.

"In this regard, we can start a systematic discussion from today. I suggest that you commanders and comrades have a good discussion and discuss it together. The concealment method is the best." Sun Boyang suggested again.

"I played hide-and-seek when I was a child. I remember that one autumn, I simply hid in the pile of leaves, but my brother Bieber couldn't find me. I think it can be done like this." Miguchi suggested.

"This is also a good way. Everyone can brainstorm and come up with an idea. Don't the regiments and brigades also have soldier committees? Everyone should ask the soldiers for their opinions. Anything that is beneficial to the battle can be adopted."

"The Fafnir Legion's general marching route is straight to the east, directly attacking our government town. Based on their marching route we see now, there is no evidence to prove that they will join the Omen Pass along the mountains, United with the nobles."

"It's not surprising that both sides want to fight for success." Okedo nodded and said.

"The terrain in the pass is almost indefensible, and it is unfavorable to rely on the field terrain to block. My idea is to rely on the second town in the pass, Pinghai Town, for a decisive battle. In this way, there will be a suitable logistics supply base behind, and it will also avoid enemy cavalry relying on numbers. advantage, constantly harassing and even encircling our army’s logistics.”

"Pinghai Town is located in the Great Plains, with extremely open surroundings. The transportation is extremely developed and convenient. This is his advantage and also his disadvantage." Deputy Commander Rebio added.

"We have to think about it. What should we do if the enemy gives up seeking a decisive battle with our army and relies on a large number of cavalry to attack Pinghai Town? Pinghai Town doesn't have any decent walls. It's impossible for us to separate Sufficient troops to guard Pinghai Town to guard against attacks." Penny stretched out her hand and asked.

"I've thought about this a long time ago." Rebio smiled confidently, lit his old pipe again, picked up another charcoal pencil and gestured.

"The enemy's cavalry is about [-], including [-] heavy cavalry and [-] light cavalry. If the heavy cavalry organizes an attack, it can only be said that the head of the Fafnir Legion has lost his mind, and he is most likely to attack Pinghai Town. Those who harassed the offensive were undoubtedly the fifteen hundred light cavalry."

"It is absolutely possible to separate the Musketeers to organize a guerrilla attack and focus on this army. Ensure the safety of Pinghai Town."

"Without Musketeers, how can our army fight against the enemy's heavy cavalry?" Migaucci also questioned.

"Comrades, the military deduction we made is entirely based on the discussion that the enemy is stationed at a distance and continues to send cavalry for guerrilla warfare." Rebio said seriously.

"Based on this plan, the enemy will never easily station the military camp too close, or in other words, it would be best if they stationed too close."

"If it is too close, then take the initiative to attack and use the advantages of weapons and soldiers to quickly resolve the battle! Before the enemy cavalry attacks or organizes to surround our army's rear, quickly launch a decisive offensive to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. If the enemy If you choose to keep your distance and wait for the cavalry to attack, then you can further mobilize troops, give priority to encircling and destroying this cavalry force, and then organize a decisive battle." General Rebio said with a very bold strategic plan.

"It's still not safe." Okdo shook his head lightly, as if he didn't quite agree.

"Comrade Okto, this battle is not safe." Commander Sherman smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"This is the preliminary combat plan that Comrade Rebio and I made after careful consideration. It is the final choice made after considering the enemy's generals, organizational structure, equipment, and training."

"I think it may not be impossible to use." Sun Boyang walked to the map, looked at it again for a while and said.

"Obviously, the Fafnir Legion is a hard nut to crack. The more this is the case, the more we must chew him down. We will beat him to death and be afraid of defeat." Sun Boyang put one hand on his hip, and the other hand Palm gestured to the map and said.

"Comrade Sherman, how did you plan the defense line at the gate?" Sun Boyang turned back and asked.

"The line of defense at the gate of the gate is expected to resist more than [-] noble coalition forces." Sherman nodded.

"More than half of the enemy army is light infantry, with insufficient training and poor equipment. But this number is still very impressive and terrifying. You know, before only dealing with [-] noble troops, the Omen Pass was almost lost. "

"Comrade Rebio will be in charge of the Western Front, and I will personally be stationed on the Omen Pass line of defense and organize the defense work."

"For the battle on the front line of the Evil Gate, all available soldiers must be mobilized. Whether it is militia, adventurers, or elves and dwarves, I plan to organize at least 5000 troops to control the front line of the Evil Gate, and then wait The support of the [-]th Army." Sherman said decisively.

"We must concentrate superior forces to form part of the battlefield advantage. Our armament department still has more than [-] sets of infantry weapon armor and archer weapon armor. These things have not been dealt with in time, because I heard that there is a plan to establish a second army, so now It has been kept, but the Adventurer's Union and the border militia will get some use." Sherman continued.

"The organization is armed. According to the plan, the militia outside the customs will form a guerrilla force to attack the enemy's logistics organization. At the same time, it will start a large-scale transfer of organizations outside the customs to counter raids and looting."

"The most important thing is to organize a group of well-equipped vanguard troops to organize a desperate resistance on the land that was approaching the liberation of the Middle East and South East. This plan requires about 1000 people, and they will use the mountain range near Kunqi Mountain Stop the attack of the noble coalition forces."

Silence, the room fell silent for a moment, and everyone understood that these 1000 people were not so much vanguards as death squads.They will take on the role of delaying the attack. On the one hand, they will prevent the aristocratic allied forces from entering the pass prematurely because they have no resistance, so as to buy enough time for the people to evacuate.On the other hand, they will try their best to kill the enemy, bringing a higher hope of victory to the second battle of Omen Pass.

It is precisely because of this that when the flag was raised in the Kunqi Mountains area again, it was difficult for people to tell how many heroes dyed the red on the flag.

155 The Thieves

"Do it." Sun Boyang finally gave such an instruction.

"I'll bring this troop." Migaucci raised his hand and said.

"I go!"

"I'll come!" Several other comrades also raised their hands and demanded.

"This unit is in charge of Comrade Luo En, the former deputy commander of the first regiment of the cavalry unit." Rebio took out a letter of petition from his bag and said.

"Comrade Luo En is resolute and courageous, and has repeatedly achieved great results in various battles. In fact, he was the one who proposed the plan to block the Kunchi Mountains." Comrade Rebio said solemnly.

"Comrade Luo En suggested that there is no danger outside the pass, and some troops can also be sent to organize a stop on the front line of the Kunqi Mountains."

"That's what he wrote to Comrade Sherman and me," Comrade Rebio read slowly.

"Soldier, be shrouded in horse leather."

"Allow the most elite weapons to be used by Comrade Luo En." Sun Boyang said solemnly with one hand propped on the table.

"If the front line of Kunqi Mountain can no longer continue to be defended, it is necessary to let the troops led by Comrade Luo En withdraw as much as possible."

"It must be so." Comrade Rebio nodded and said, putting away his various plans.

The battle plan was basically decided, and the Western Front campaign was in charge of Deputy Army Commander Rebio, commanding a total of [-] soldiers to prepare for a decisive battle.Commander Sherman was in charge of the front-line battle of Omen Pass and the battle outside the pass.Command the vast militia guerrilla forces outside the customs, as well as various volunteers to carry out tactics such as blocking, delaying, and strictly guarding.

The people outside the customs received the news that the war was about to break out, and the heads of the villages began to organize the transfer of the people, looking for hills, forests and other areas for concealment.The two towns outside the Guanwai were also forced to start evacuation, suspending the development plan, and also investing in concealed evacuation.

The people inside and outside the pass were excited, especially outside the pass, there were countless people who actively joined the army and the militia.The people chanted the slogan of defending their homeland and defending the Leszek government.Start actively supporting frontline work.

Many old militiamen were selected to join the Kunqishan forward regiment. They will go through a short and refined training to become a qualified line infantry before going to the Kunqishan front line.Anyone who knew the location of Kunqi Mountain knew that these people might never return, but the more this happened, the more active the militiamen became.

In the middle of the night, Fei Qi tiptoed back home.He tried his best to slow down his movements so as not to wake up his children and his wife, but the small oil lamp lit by his wife proved that his plan had failed.

Fei Qi sighed helplessly, walked to the bedside, and sat silently beside his wife without saying a word.

"Why did you come back so late?" the wife asked in a low voice.

"A meeting was held in the village, and let us militiamen prepare to support the frontline battle." Fitch replied.

"Why, no more crops? Who will grow the crops after you leave?"
