In fact, in Zhong Yang's heart, he wanted to do more than he asked at the meeting. After more than a year of training, the Xuantie Security Corps and the Town Guard gradually met the requirements of the modern army. Although not every soldier has a primary school or above, he has achieved the understanding of basic common words.

This is thanks to Zhong Yang's insistence on night tutoring education. He joined the town guard and had to learn more than 500 commonly used words within three months, and he would be resigned if he could not meet the requirements. The requirements of Xuantie Security Company are even higher. He must master some special knowledge and conduct regular assessments. If he does not meet the standards three times, he will be fired.

With generous treatment and equipment, high-quality soldiers also require a team of high-quality soldiers. Zhong Yang would not think that spending money to hire some masters of national martial arts like other merchant armed groups, and then pulling up a group of civilians and think that everything is going well. No quality soldiers can handle the best weapons. Without strict training and insufficient indoctrination of ideas, they will not be able to build a truly combat-ready modern army!

The armed forces of the merchant group are not used to bully the people! Instead, they must be the foundation for their survival! How can they be slackened?

In order to allow his armed forces to grow, Zhong Yang has already planned to arrange for them to participate in this war between Guangdong and Guangxi. The elite soldiers are always fought, and if they are not good at practicing, both in the security company and the town guard must have a group of soldiers who have been baptized by the war as the cornerstone. The belief of iron and blood is used to water the strong seeds and the flowers cared for in the greenhouse are of no practical value.

Moreover, doing this has a certain meaning, that is, to show strength! Showing the military power controlled by Tianxing Group, Zhong Yang is unwilling to interfere in politics, but it does not mean that he will be slaughtered. When more than two beasts meet together, the most appropriate way is to grin and the sharp claws that stretch out will make each other worry and dare not act rashly.

Take the Hong Shengtang incident as an example. If too many such things are annoying, it will hinder the development of the group. Therefore, Zhong Yang felt that it was necessary to show some strength publicly and then develop in a low-key manner. The most terrifying time for a tiger is when it squats in the corner and eats meat, Tianxing Group will be such a tiger!

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Before Sun Yat-sen could firmly take up his position in presidential position, Lu Rongting personally led the army to attack Guangdong. In mid-June 1921, the Gui army divided into three groups to attack Guangdong!

The northern route of Shen Hongying and Ma Ji were attacked by He County, Guangxi Province, Lianshan and Yangshan, Guangdong Province, to peek at Shaoguan and Yingde, and to control the Beijiang River; the central route was the headquarters of Chen Bing, the main force of the Gui army, with a total of more than 80 battalions, from Wuzhou to descend along the Xijiang River, to attack Deqing, Guangdong Province, to peek at Zhaoqing; the southern route was divided into two places to attack Guangdong, and Tan Haoming's troops attacked from Nanning to Lingshan, Guangdong to peek at Qinlianlin Hu tribe, and Cenxi attacked Lianjiang in Guangdong, to peek at Gao Lei.

On that day, Sun Yat-sen made a fuss and threatened that there would be a president in the south, so that the Guangzhou military government could be recognized by the great powers and could share the tariff surplus. Under the insistence of the revolutionary party, this statement eventually won politically, and Sun Yat-sen also took office as a very great president on May 5. Well, let's assume that the founding father was patriotic and loving the people, and he would never support the emergence of two presidents in China because of his greed for fame.

But Zhong Yang only believed in the facts that appeared in front of him, that is, as the Guangdong military officer group was worried, with the support of the northern warlord government, the Guangxi army came out in full swing and launched an invasion of Guangdong. The so-called recognition of the great powers and the sharing of tariffs were not realized. Just this, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to call someone a "cannon".

When he was fine, he shouted to control the army and was always committed to turning the Revolutionary Party into his one-man show. He was full of unrealistic fantasies, took things for granted, and never kept his feet on the ground, and managed his own team well. Even when the Guangxi clan invaded Guangdong, he did not see a few Sun clan members standing in front.

As the most important arms supplier of the Guangdong Army, Chen Ze has the most say in this matter. According to the material delivery list, the main military supplies transported to the front line are basically Chen Jiongming's direct descendants. Oh, of course, the great founding father has not yet established the Whampoa Military Academy, so the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under him are untrained, so they have not been on the battlefield. This is something that the people in Guangdong should understand and must also understand. In general, the founding father is still patriotic, otherwise how can he be called the "set of the founding father"? It is definitely not bragging through political propaganda.

Because it is to defend Guangdong and its own industries, many business groups and chambers of commerce contributed money and efforts to fully support Chen Jiongming in resisting the Guangxi army under Lu Rongting. Among them, the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce and Tianxing Group also jointly issued a statement, placing the slogan of armed defense of Guangzhou and forming two militias for military training.

Chen Jiongming swore an oath to the scene on June 20 and sent Zhong Xiunan as the director of the military station to be responsible for the transportation of military supplies. On that day, he took a warship to Zhaoqing and issued a notice to the military and civilians of Guizhou Province, indicating that the enemy of the Guangdong army was only the Gui army, not the Gui people.

The Guangdong Army's combat plan uses the north and south routes as the main defense line: the northern route is coordinated with the Gan Army's Lai Shihuang defense, while the southern route is Weng Shiliang, Huang Dawei, Chen Juemin, Zhong Jingtang, Deng Benyin, Hu Hanqing and Huang Mingtang as the defense line. Among them, He Guoliang is the director of the Military Order Communication Office and is responsible for contacting the General Command.

As for the main force of the Guangdong army, they were divided into three groups to counterattack, with Wuzhou as the first target. The central army attacking Wuzhou was led by Wei Bangping's entire division and Yang Kunru's troops. The right wing was led by Xu Chongzhi's troops to cooperate with Guan Guoxiong and Xie Wenbing's troops to attack Huaiji in Guangxi Province, and Ye Ju was responsible for the left wing, leading Chen Jiongguang, Luo Shaoxiong, Xiong Lue and other troops to counterattack Guangxi and Dongning, and to advance Rongxu. The second goal of the entire subordinate situation was Guiping, and the ultimate goal was Nanning, the capital.

Under Chen Ze's activities, Chen Jiongming finally agreed to build a 720-person ** reinforcement battalion in Tangwei Town and participated in the middle army attacking Wuzhou. Although it is under the jurisdiction of Wei Bangping, it has the authority to fight and has the right to refuse the order to die.

This is what Zhong Yang strongly requested. If it is not limited, these 700 people will definitely be pulled up to be cannon fodder and consumed them all. Although Chen Ze paid 1.2 million silver dollars and some weapons and ammunition for this, it is worth it in Zhong Yang's opinion. Their lives are more important than everything in the system, and living is the most valuable.

In this way, under the leadership of Li Shaojie and others, Tangwei Camp was stationed next to Wei Bangping's troops.

On the open plain, a simple camp was built, right next to the gathering point of the army on the middle road. A marching tent was supported by a steel frame and arranged in a neat layout, greatly reducing the blind spots of defense.

The brand new equipment and high morale made them seem out of place with other Guangdong soldiers.

"Hey, I'm talking about Lao Li, where did those young guys come from?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a wrinkle on his face, which had been frosty for years.

Old Li's name is Li Dingjun, and he is a squad leader of the Third Division of Wei Bangping, Guangdong Army. He talks to him by Hu Can, a veteran of the same squad. The two have carried guns together for more than ten years, which is considered a life-long friendship, so they speak more casually.

"I heard from the people in the division headquarters that it is Tangwei Camp, with a deep background and even the commander-in-chief cannot move!" The commander-in-chief mentioned by Li Dingjun is worthy of Wei Bangping.

"No way? So awesome! Then what are they doing? Are they making fun of it? How can there be troops who can't help but not listen to the orders of the top?" Li Dingjun's words surprised Hu Can. In the eyes of these people, there was no bigger person than Wei Bangping.

"What do we little people do when it comes to big things? Just do our own things well. It is better to do less than more things." Seeing that the other party is suitable for the old brother who has been through life and death for many years, Li Dingjun then warned earnestly.

Sorry, he scratched his hair's loose head, and Hu Can smiled a little reluctantly: "Hehe, I'm a little jealous when I see their outfits. Three machine guns in each class are not a cold man!"

No wonder Hu Can was jealous. There were only 15 people in a squad. In the battle sequence of the Guangdong Army, the standard rifles were all varied. Ammunition supply alone was enough to make the logistics department scratch their heads. As for heavy weapons, it was basically rare. Take Wei Bangping's troops as an example. If the Guangzhou Arsenal had not reopened, he would have only two heavy machine guns, five light machine guns, and eight earth-mountain cannons. Fortunately, because he was to be the pioneer of the road, he gave priority to sending a batch of new weapons and equipment. Among them, two 75mm caliber infantry cannons, five Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, twenty light machine guns, and the rifles were also replaced with a simplified version of the Enfield iii type, which can be said to be a shotgun replacement.

But in a few days, a basin of cold water broke down without warning. Tangwei Camp, a privately funded business group armed with only 720 people. But the other party’s vitality was simply horrifying!

Although the other party was equipped with heavy machine guns, there were three light machine guns in one squad, which really surprised the Guangdong army. In fact, the soldiers of the Guangdong army did not know that these light machine guns were universal machine guns, otherwise they would not be just surprised. The unified uniforms and steel helmets were all brand new dark gray suits, which were majestic, unlike Hu Can and the others. The worn military uniform was released five years ago.

The rifles and submachine guns were also equipped in large quantities, and everyone had broken grenades that looked like pomegranates, and even the food they ate was better than the Guangdong Army. Although they caused many people to be jealous, after all, they were fellow villagers from the same province, so there was no conflict. Instead, because of the hospitality of Tangweiying, a lot of supplies were sent to the Third Division to Wei Bangping, and the two sides formed a deep friendship.

In fact, the officers and soldiers of the Third Division of the Guangdong Army did not know that Tangwei Camp still had many individual weapons and equipment not exposed, such as 60mm caliber small mortars and 105mm caliber field howitzers. The big guy is now hanging on the tail hook of a small truck for special cannon transport and is on the way to transport it. Unlike traditional infantry, the entire Tangwei Camp has begun preliminary mechanized movements.

There were four medium-sized large military trucks following the army, and there were twelve light military motorcycles with general-purpose machine guns. These motorcycles were all secretly created by Zhong Yang and the Germans, and they just wanted to use this war to conduct practical experiments to collect some valuable experimental data.

In order to achieve good road adaptability, strong off-road capabilities, and easy to conceal, the car can also be equipped with weapons, etc. Zhong Yang's own research team and the Germans designed this batch of military motorcycles to be small in size, light in weight and fast in speed. The main expectation is to make it have general functions such as reconnaissance, communication and communication, and the ability to charge and trap after carrying weapons.

Twenty-five pieces were completed in advance, three of which were sealed as specimens, and ten were taken out for various data testing experiments. In Zhong Yang's idea, any weapon must undergo practical tests to be considered a qualified product. If you want to gain a foothold in the world, China must have its own military weapon research and development system. Zhong Yang doesn't know whether others do this, he only knows that he must do this.

Weapons can kill people, and they can naturally be used to protect themselves. Zhong Yang does not like civil wars, but the inspection of weapons must be carried out. Moreover, in order to establish his own private armament, it is also necessary to experience actual combat. He is not a pedantic person. As long as he does not conflict with the purpose in his heart, he will do things that need them.
