Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Mr. Chen, hehe, Wang invited you here today, in fact, I have a favor for you to help!"

"How dare, how dare, General Wang has something to do, but please tell me, the students will definitely do it!"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Now that the Qing emperor has abdicated and the North and the South are reconciled, but all the major companies in Jingzhou Prefecture are armed with weapons. This is not a problem for the general, but it is a big deal for the appeasement of this place. inappropriate."

Old man Chen Hongji is very smart, how could he not understand what the young general in front of him was thinking, that is, he wanted the merchant to call out the weapons in his hands.All the governors of Jingzhou had this intention, but they all succeeded.

He thought for a while, and replied truthfully: "That's natural, but you don't know, General Wang. In the past ten years, the security around the entire Jingzhou Prefecture has been very bad, and bandits are rampant. None of us who run business can protect us." How dare you go on the road? In addition, these four counties are infested with wild wolves, wild boars, leopards, and tigers. If you are unarmed, it may be very dangerous!"

Wang Zhenyu had known for a long time that Chen Hongji would say this, so he chuckled: "I understand, I understand. But illegal possession of weapons is definitely not a long-term solution. Mr. Chen, how about you listen to Wang's idea before making a decision?"

"I also hope that the general will give me advice."

"A chamber of commerce was established in Jingzhou, and you, Mr. Chen, will serve as the chairman, and all merchants will be brought back to the chamber of commerce. Wang promises to eliminate the banditry in the territory within half a year and provide protection to merchants, and Wang will organize manpower to hunt and kill wild animals to reduce their Harm to humans and animals. Half a year later, if Wang's words are true, and the chamber of commerce is armed and returned to the state capital, how about it?"

Chen Hongji didn't quite believe it, and couldn't help hesitating.

"Chairman Chen, this is my last condition. I think everyone needs to understand that I will use my power to protect everyone's business prosperity, but I will never allow a second branch within my sphere of influence." Armed forces exist."

Seeing that Chen Hongji was still hesitating, and obviously meant to bargain, Wang Zhenyu simply stood up and directly interrupted his unrealistic fantasy, what a joke, how could someone else snore on the side of the couch.I'm not Jiao Dafeng, if you really want you to have force, I might be killed that day.

Although the weather was cool on an April night, Wang Zhenyu's dominance still made Chen Hongji, who considers himself a well-informed man, break out in a cold sweat: "Naturally, naturally, just follow what you say, my lord."

Three days later, Chen Hongji took the lead, and the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce was established, with Chen Hongji serving as the chairman.Wang Zhenyu came to the door to congratulate him personally, which was considered as a way to save face.

He Jian sneaked into the Hongjiang area to continue collecting intelligence. . .

In the next few days, the wild wolves running rampant in the west of Zhili Prefecture (now Jingzhou County) in Jingzhou Prefecture will suffer a catastrophe.But now they don't know this, they still live here happily, and human beings seem to be ignored by them.

Operation code name: Wolf Extermination Plan.

Wang Zhenyu specially approved 900 rounds of bullets. The first battalion of Tao Zhiyue, Song Haomin's teaching team, Zhang Xuguang's special agent company, and Tang Hairong's reconnaissance company formed a wolf-killing assault brigade, with Wan Yaohuang as the commander-in-chief.A team of more than [-] people marched into the western part of Zhili Prefecture, Jingzhou Prefecture, and began to implement the brigade commander's wolf extermination plan.

Before the assault brigade set off, Wang Zhenyu specifically explained three points to the gang of soldiers:

"The first point is that this operation is not a simple wolf extermination operation, but also an operation to establish friendly relations with the local people. Therefore, during the operation process, we must observe discipline, be civilized and polite, and respect the living habits of the local people, especially the ethnic minorities. To help them sincerely, to gain their approval and support. The second point, the first step of action is to clear the trade roads and protect the villages, so we must pay attention to the protection and construction of the trade roads. The third point, everyone Pay attention to your own safety, don’t miss the wolf and get beaten by the wolf instead, reward Dayang five yuan if you can come back, and get nothing if you die.”

Everyone laughed at the last sentence. . .

Suddenly a strange Han army came to the mountain, although the guide who led the army repeatedly explained to the mountain people that these soldiers were here to help everyone fight wolves.But the suspicion of the mountain people still could not be dispelled, and they were always vigilant and vigilant against this strange Han army.

And these Han troops are also very strange, they don't rob or plunder.If the mountain people do not allow them to enter the village for the night, they will build simple tents against the village and light a fire for the night.This made the mountain people very curious, and their impressions were much better.

Of course, Wang Zhenyu has no hope of distributing cooling oil and earth dogs to his gang of big-headed soldiers. First, there are many mosquitoes and poisonous insects in this mountain, and second, there are many snakes; It was Bao who ran back, and some of them were unlucky and died of poison directly.

Wan Yaohuang, who was the commander-in-chief, soon discovered that the wolves here were indeed a disaster.

On the first night of camping in the wild, all the officers and soldiers were frightened by the barking of wolves one after another and stayed up all night.Wan Yaohuang immediately decided that no matter what the next day, he would go to the village to spend the night, otherwise he would not be able to survive the day.

It turned out that hundreds of wolves wandered around the village in broad daylight in groups, which surprised people even when they saw it. This is too arrogant.

As the number of wolves increased, the soldiers changed from laughing at first to being extremely serious and nervous. . .

Many years later, at a meeting of elders, when Wan Yaohuang and Li Zongren, as participants in the battle, recalled the wolf extermination, they all said in unison: "Don't underestimate the IQ of animals."

After the soldiers shot and killed more than a dozen wolves who didn't know how powerful they were, the wolves became smarter.They chose to hide in the low bushes, keeping a certain safe distance, and then looked in the direction of the stockade with their green eyes.At the same time, the screaming wolf barking was used to convey the message to a farther place, and the wolf barking sounded again in a farther place, like a relay.

When the elders in the village heard the shrill howling of the wolf, their expressions changed drastically. He immediately caught the guide and came to meet Wan Yaohuang. He said in a dialect he couldn't understand, "You offend the wolf god!" Countless wolves will attack this stronghold soon, and you have brought disaster to the stronghold."

Wolf God?Wan Yaohuang was stunned for a moment, then listened to the guide continue to translate, saying that a few months ago there was a village that was besieged by tens of thousands of wolves because of offending the wolf god, and the village was destroyed and people died.Of the more than 100 people in the village, only a 6-year-old child survived, and he escaped by luck because he hid in the rice vat.

Wan Yaohuang's misconduct did not frighten the elder's exaggerated performance, on the contrary he was amused, what age is this, and he is still a wolf god!

But after all, he was on his territory, Wan Yaohuang still did not forget to thank the elder for his kind reminder.At the same time, he also accepted the fact that although it is rare for all wolves to come out together, it is not impossible, so he called the chief officers of several combat units over to see how to defend the village.

By the way, Wan Yaohuang suddenly remembered something, what is the name of this village?

This question has not been answered until the end, but this place has a very domineering name in the future, Mielang Mountain.

The military meeting was held in an open space in the stockade. Tao Zhiyue, the commander of the first battalion, first raised a very worrying question: "These beasts are much more flexible than humans. They are brave and vicious but also very cunning. So whether they are The killing effect of machine gun fire or rifle burst is very limited, especially at night, we are at a disadvantage. And I have carefully observed that although the stockade is surrounded by wooden fences, it is not secure on the one hand, and the wolves They are relatives of dogs, this fence may be able to block people, but if it is to block wolves, I think Xuan."

Wan Yaohuang was very satisfied with Tao Zhiyue's ability to think about the problem in such detail. He nodded and said, "Captain Tao is right, so now let's call everyone together to see if there is any way to solve these problems. Everyone You must not underestimate these wolves just because they are beasts, I just heard from the elders of this village that these wolves broke through a village before, and more than 100 people were killed by these little beasts."

Song Haomin, Li Zongren, Zhang Xuguang and the others cried out on the spot, obviously the news was beyond their knowledge.By the way, here is a digression by the way, because Li Zongren has contributed to capturing Mei Xin alive, Li Zongren is now the deputy captain of the teaching team, with the rank of captain.

On the contrary, Tang Hairong, who was a little lazy, was not surprised at all. He nodded with his legs crossed and said, "I heard about these little beasts when I was young when I went hunting with my grandfather. Many old hunters have their way. And when it’s really night, it’s their world. By the way, Commander Wan, I just saw the situation outside, and these wild wolves are likely to play night attacks..."

After you said something and I said it, everyone really realized that these wolves are probably harder to fight than humans.

what to do?If it's a wolf, everyone doesn't even need a gun, and each person can be killed with a stick.But ten thousand wolves is obviously beyond the scope of everyone's common sense.

But it doesn't matter, no one here is an idiot, and they quickly came up with a lot of methods.

第071章 龙盘靖州（四）

Li Zongren's suggestion was to dig a trap. The people in Guangxi are very good at this job. They break open the bamboo, cut off half of it, and then bury it in the trap. The wolf only needs to jump down and there is no way out.

Song Haomin's solution was to encourage the men in the village to participate together, because he found that the men here are very skilled, and everyone can use poles and hatchets.In Song Haomin's opinion, these two things are definitely more useful when a wolf is close to him than a rifle that has to be unloaded and reloaded after running out of bullets.When the time comes to light the fire and match the local men, is this a difficult battle?

In the end, Zhang Xuguang's idea was the most poisonous. He observed that these wild wolves would actively line up when they attacked.According to this characteristic of wild wolves, he said that they should be tied with wire and the fuse of the grenade and buried on the road that must be entered. As long as the wolf touches the wire, the grenade will be ignited.The effect is definitely not bad, it's better than using mortars to bombard those fast-moving wolves, right?If we really use the mortars we carry to bombard, then it is really a cannon to kill mosquitoes.

Wan Yaohuang, who was always serious on weekdays, was very happy to hear it now, and nodded repeatedly. After all, there are too many people and too many ideas. Let's do it this way. Everyone goes back to organize the manpower and start working.He himself grabbed the guide and went to the owner of the village to discuss what to do?

The most successful one was probably Wan Yaohuang. When he visited the village master, he was first complained by the poor village master, saying that they shouldn't provoke the wolf god.But then, the village owner offered to guard the village with the Han army.This kind of lofty integrity made Wan Yaohuang sweat a lot, but after thinking about it carefully, yes, if the village is broken, people like himself will be finished, and the people in the village will not even think about being alone.Wolves are not the security defense teams of the Guangdong coast in later generations. When they bite people, they don’t care whether you hold a local household registration or a temporary residence permit from outside. It is their original nature to bite people when they see them.

The mobilization of the village is still admirable. Within half an hour, more than 200 strong men and [-] native dogs in the village were gathered to obey the command of the Han army.Although these strong men are not tall, Wan Yaohuang can see a kind of bravery from their physique and expression. They are all qualified soldiers. . .Thinking about it, my saliva almost flowed down.

After wiping his mouth, Wan Yaohuang led the guards and ran to the edge of the stockade. Tao Zhiyue and Li Zongren were digging a hole with the gang of soldiers from the first battalion.The biggest mistake I made this time was that I didn't expect that there would be civil engineering work, so I didn't even bring engineers.Now these veteran soldiers are in a miserable situation. Li Zongren can only hear Li Zongren scolding there: "This hole is dug so deep, you are going to let the wolf rush in and eat you, right?"

The one who was reprimanded was also a veteran. Seeing that Li Zongren was not his immediate officer, he was still so arrogant, so he was very unconvinced and said back: "I am not an engineer, but I want to do this job. I have to dig you. Otherwise, at night Don't blame me for not having the strength to raise a gun."

Tao Zhiyue happened to hear it not far away, and tilted his head and scolded: "Shi Wenlong, what are you farting with your mouth full? Whose father are you? Hurry up and dig you up. If wolves come in, none of us will come in." want to run!"

Although he was older than Tao Zhiyue, he was his battalion commander after all. Shi Wenlong shrank his neck helplessly and continued digging honestly.

Wan Yaohuang smiled when he saw this scene, then walked to a dug trap, and was shocked when he saw it.There are enough bamboo tips buried in it, all of them are extremely sharp, not to mention wolves, if a person falls, there is probably no way to survive, and they will be crippled if they don't die.

After a while of chills, he decided to go and see Song Haomin bury the grenade, which was a bit risky, because Song Haomin and the others were working outside the stockade.

The job is not difficult to do. A small log is tied with a thicker hemp rope, and the other end is hung with the string of the grenade, and the grenade is actually buried upside down in the soil.

A dozen soldiers in charge of security nervously pointed their guns at the bushes more than ten meters away. From time to time, a wolf could be seen poking its head out, but the strange thing was that the wolves did not rush over, they seemed to be just observing, But I can't figure out what people are doing.As for people, they dare not shoot, for fear that if they shoot, they will provoke the wolves.

Everything was arranged very smoothly, and everyone was waiting for the night to fall. . .

In the dark night in the mountains, you can't see your fingers, but this night is very special. The sky is full of stars, as if it wants to illuminate the whole earth for people.

There was silence all around the village, and all the officers and soldiers of the wolf extermination brigade did not dare to fall asleep. They all stood guard at their posts, with their eyes fixed on the front, not daring to blink.
