Heavy Industry Empire

Liu Tianling didn't stay in the grassland for long. After dinner, Zhao Lianyi was anxious about the overall situation. Liu Tianling gave a brief lecture, and the air force returned before dawn after a brief rest.

In Yi County, the sky was gray and just dawned. After getting up, there were only less than 2000 soldiers staying in the barracks. A fortification was built at the throat of the highway, and the military camp was built next to the fortification.

As soon as the wake-up call sounded, the soldiers got up one after another, went to the pool outside the barracks to wash their faces, brush their teeth, tidy up their clothes, and so on. After 10 minutes, the soldiers gathered at the school military field to start morning exercise training.

Hu Sihai commanded the soldiers to practice for more than 40 minutes. His face was covered with sweat. He wiped his face with a towel and returned to the martial arts practice area of ​​the barracks. He picked up his beloved big knife and flew up and down for a while.

At 06:30, Hu Sihai changed into the officer's clothes in the division seat, put on the helmet, and brought the adjutant staff.

"Master, go there," the adjutant asked.

"To check the defense, the three lines of defense must be checked," Hu Sihai said.

The defense line in the south of Yicheng was built on both sides of a river. Originally, this river was just a river on flat land, without dams on both sides. Later, it felt that there was no danger to defend to the south, so the river was widened and deepened. The current river The depth of the water can be four or five meters, and the width is more than 20 meters. A 50-meter bridge is built on it, which forms a natural barrier. etc. The transportation provides convenient conditions.

The first line of defense was built on the south bank of the river, with staggered trenches and reinforced concrete bunkers. This front line is relatively short, only more than 100 meters, blocking the head of the bridge. Hu Sihai's off-road vehicle went straight to the first line of defense, although The weather was still early, but there were at least fifty soldiers standing guard with guns, and the patrol team led tall and mighty military dogs back and forth.

There are more than [-] semi-underground tents next to the line of defense. At this time, most of the soldiers who are not on duty are still sleeping, and some soldiers are up and practicing in the open space near the tents.

The soldiers on duty saw Hu Sihai coming and saluted one after another, and Hu Sihai returned the salute. The first battalion commander who was in charge of the first line of defense came over and said, "The division seat is here."

"Well, what's up, is there any movement?"

The first battalion commander shook his head: "There is nothing abnormal, the convoys coming and going, and the pedestrians are also normal, not like spies,"

Hu Sihai said with a smile: "Haha, you are only responsible for not letting the army pass by. It is not for you and me to see whether the spies are spies or not,"

"That's right, the word spy won't be written on the face of a spy,"

Hu Sihai went into the trenches to check the overall situation, and the adjutants and staff officers also looked around. The first line of defense was considered classic. The trenches were two vertical and two horizontal, equipped with six machine guns, five machine gun bunkers, and easy to move. There are several machine guns, and 50 soldiers are on guard during the day and 60 at night.

After checking, the soldiers are all in place, and there is no shortage of them. What's more, there are watchtowers on the second line of defense. Four soldiers on each watchtower are watching with binoculars. The three lines of defense are carefully guarded. It looks close at hand, but if you want to go north, you have to pay a heavy price. As long as these three lines of defense can defend for an hour, the army behind can come to support at any time. Hu Sihai returned to the barracks with peace of mind, and started another day If the soldier does not practice for a day, he will get worms on his body. The habit of laziness is not good. Only strong training and fighting will be strong.

But in the Longyashan base dozens of kilometers away, it was another scene. Liu Tianling was discussing the problem loudly with the staff.

Zhu Yupu said: "Yi County, Taierzhuang, and Teng County are our key points in southern Shandong. Whether it is necessary to increase the construction of fortifications is a very important issue."

Dong Zhen shook his head: "After our recent battles, I have summed up an experience. As long as there are sufficient artillery fire, many tanks and vehicles, and there are aircraft in the air to cooperate, any fortification can be done. Similarly, in defense, I still tend to use the existing The infantry is armored so that you don't have to spend a lot of money on military fortifications," he said.

"The enemy will also have aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles, not to mention that they are very smart and quickly understand how wide trenches can block tanks. For example, Fengjun, they cannot produce tanks at once, but they can mass produce them. Small-caliber flat-firing guns, you can think about it, the cost of producing one tank can produce [-] small-caliber flat-firing guns, as for the air force, it may be our biggest advantage at present," Zhu Yupu analyzed.

Jia Cai knocked on the table and looked up at the ceiling.

"Let me tell you, tanks, cannons, and planes all need people. We don't have 11 soldiers in total. Of course, we have recruited more than 2 this time, but too many troops will affect the control of the troops. What's more, the warlords in Zhaoyuan, Weifang, Zibo and other places have not yet been resolved. They are just superficial obedience, sloppy, and unreliable. , use it and then pull it out,"

"What you said is very good, Zhu Yupu said, building strong fortifications will play a great role in the enemy's attack, this is for sure, but building a large number of fortifications consumes too much financial resources, we cannot The repair has gone bankrupt, so all the cities with important military points should focus on building air-raid shelters and gun-proof shelters, and no more expensive fortifications such as city walls are allowed," Liu Tianling said. The method, the implementation, can only maintain the current output, two Nissan Gray Wolf tanks, three Linghu chariots, three Lynx armored vehicles, and basically [-] aircraft per month."

"Ah," Dong Zhen couldn't sit still, and sat down on the ground. "This is enough. I think this quantity is enough." Airplanes, that's not enough. You must know that the young marshal asked the French to buy airplanes, and the one who begged his grandpa to sue his grandma didn't buy many.

The night attack on Jinan almost defeated all the air forces led by the young marshal. The strength of the Fengjun Air Force was greatly reduced. Today's Air Force of the National Defense Army is the second air force in China. Except for Mr. Jiang in Nanjing, it is the Air Force of the National Defense Army. As for Naval strength is also third.

"Then recruit more recruits?" Jia Cai asked.

Liu Tianling shook his head: "It will happen sooner or later when the warlords from Weifang, Zibo, Weihai and other places gather. There are at least [-] soldiers in these places. Letting them go home to farm will greatly damage social security. We still have to stay." In the military, so the recruiting thing needs to be thought differently,"

Jia Cai asked, "What kind of thinking, I can tell by the commander-in-chief's expression that he has come up with a bad idea."

Liu Tianling nodded and said with a smile, "Do you still remember the [-] road construction workers recruited from Henan last year?"

Ye Feng standing behind Liu Tianling said, "Remember, it was the commander-in-chief I followed at that time,"

"They're still building roads. Chief Duan is directing them to build roads and rivers everywhere. Now their pay is about the same as that of regular soldiers," Jia Cai said.

"Yes, natural disasters and man-made disasters have happened in successive years, and the common people have become more destitute. We all know the identity of the Fufu neighborhood in southern Lunan. Recently, there has been another disaster from Anhui. More than 1 people have flocked here. They originally gathered near Teng County. Bi Shucheng went to Linyi, where the land is sparsely populated and there is a lot of wasteland," Liu Tianling said.

"Oh, I see, the commander-in-chief wants to recruit refugees again," Jia Cai laughed.

Zhu Yupu nodded: "Recruiting refugees can not only save them from being displaced, but also obtain more labor force. Why not do it?"

Jia Cai hurriedly asked, "How many refugees can come here?"

"In Anhui, it was because the harvest was not good last autumn. In the beginning of spring this year, the local warlords did not provide pensions but imposed violent taxes. As a result, the people could no longer survive and had to flee. There could be 5 or [-] people," Liu Tianling said. , but the construction corps affiliated to the army expanded its enrollment,"

"The Construction Corps also wears military uniforms and undergoes training. It can't do without weapons, and everything else is the same. I said that the commander-in-chief has a way. Although this way, although recruiting troops, it basically won't lose money, haha," Jia said. Only then can I laugh.

"This is also a project requirement, and financial resources are tight. At present, a railway from Yanzhou to Rizhao needs to be built, which requires a lot of labor. The ordinary team is not disciplined, so we can only let the Construction Corps go," Liu Tianling said.

Jia Cai said: "I know Chai Mi, so hurry up and live. In the past few days, I will send someone secretly to Anhui to do some publicity. It shouldn't be a problem to recruit [-] people."

"Okay, Jia Cai, the recruiter of the Construction Corps, took a lot of trouble. In the past few days, the staff officers will go to Weihai, Weifang and Zibo. I will allocate [-] armored vehicles to you. Let's see how the warlords in these places are down." Liu Tianling arranged the work up.

"Our bottom line is," Zhu Yupu asked.

"Accepting the change, their posts and military salaries can be kept, but the army must be disrupted and redistributed," Liu Tianling said.

Zhu Yupu nodded, expressing that he understood. He knew very well that Liu Tianling just couldn't make a move, and the young generals were all beaten away. The small warlords in several places, each with thousands of mercenaries, wanted to compete with the National Defense Army. It is impossible.

Zhu Yupu made arrangements for the staff department, and immediately started his journey of persuasion with Iron Man's armored brigade, fifty tanks, and fifty armored vehicles.

Jia Cai began to plan how to go to Anhui to conduct recruitment propaganda. He had many ideas, and this matter was just a matter of hand, not to mention the treatment of the National Defense Army. Soldiers will have good food,
