Chapter 191(2/2)
"He is afraid that the serfs below will be willing to come to the battlefield and not want to herd sheep for him." Bayan lost interest in continuing to chew radishes and lay on the bed with a towel on his face.
He likes the grassland very much, but he also hates the grassland.
What I like is the vastness of the grassland, but what I hate are the greedy leaders on the grassland.
Everyone is willing to come to fight, who will take care of the sheep?
Wool is a good business, and real money is made from it every year.
The leaders' eyes were fixed on the white wool, and the blood and bravery of the Mongols were no longer there.
Bayan felt sad for the people who stayed on the grassland. They would never have a chance to succeed in this life.
After taking a bath, it was time to have dinner as usual.
Beef stew with potatoes and freshly baked white flour flatbread.
But the wine is gone, not even the beer that bubbles when poured.
Bayan lamented, knowing that the big guy was going to the battlefield again.
There was a rumbling sound of artillery in the distance, which could not be heard in the previous two days. This showed that the positions on the west bank of the Volga River were retreating towards Tsaritsyn again!
In the past two days, many troops have been withdrawn from the front line.
Many troops suffered heavy casualties, even worse than themselves.
It can be seen that the frontal attack was quite miserable.
In fact, the Ming army does not have any big advantages now!
Although the Air Force participated in the war, it only had more than 100 aircraft. It also had to take care of the Moscow battlefield on the northern front, and only dozens of fighter aircraft could be dispatched a day.
In these dozens of sorties, the role of detection is actually far greater than destruction. After all, the Stuka's bomb load is somewhat appalling.
As for machine gun fire, it is strictly prohibited.
After all, the machine gun on the aircraft can attack at a certain distance. The enemy's 25mm anti-aircraft gun can also hit the aircraft.
The airplane is Ming Dynasty's treasure, and it cannot be lost just to kill a few people.
The next morning, Li Yuan and Bayan arrived at the regimental playground early.
Just after eight o'clock, truckloads of new recruits were pulled over.
Like Li Yuan, his head was shaved green. No one carried a gun. He was wearing a yellow cotton-padded jacket and a camouflage coat.
Camouflage coats were only issued recently.
Li Yuan and the others have just received it. The new equipment is good and warm, and it is also more wear-resistant than down jackets.
It’s just a little heavy!
But for the sake of warmth, I can make do with being light.
A large group of recruits jumped out of the car and quickly formed a team. They wore cotton hats on their heads and steel helmets on their backs.
Li Yuan didn't speak, and neither did anyone else.
Everyone's eyes were on the new soldiers, and they all picked those who were well-proportioned and short in stature.
The big soldier looks tall, but when it comes to fighting, the chance of getting shot is also high.
Don't look at it, it's only a head away, if it's really hit, it will be a reduction in staff.
"Keep your eyes wide open and let me pick. These are our foundations for the next battle.
Our battalion lost 70% of its men in the Svetoyar Marshes, and now only 70% of its recruits are.
One of the company commanders was killed in battle!
The superiors only gave us four days of training, and then we were dragged up to fight the French."
"I know! I know! A nagging person is not as good as a good old woman."
"What did you say?"
"I said what you said is good, I will choose carefully."
Bayan had no choice but to stay away from Li, for fear of being kicked again.
"Hey!
Why are there people over there with guns?"
Li Yuan suddenly saw that the soldiers who jumped out of the newly arrived truck were all carrying guns.
Not only did these guys carry guns, they also dispersed as soon as they got out of the car, gathering in twos and threes to smoke.
And even when smoking, their hands never leave the gun.
There were more than a hundred people, and they seemed extremely out of tune with the new recruits on the playground.
Li Yuan could tell at a glance that these were all veteran veterans.
The company commander looked like a wolf. He was leaning against the truck while smoking, and his eyes were constantly scanning around.
"Captain, why are there a group of veterans here? There seems to be a company?" Li Yuan asked Liu Wenxiu next to him carefully.
It is said that this regiment leader will soon be promoted to chief of staff.
"Um!
Later, if we see how well we fight, a company of veterans will be transferred to us.
It is said that he looks very good at fighting, and he was transferred directly from the camp. He fought in Grozny, and he was always a tough guy.
Your battalion suffered heavy losses, and one of the company commanders also died.
They will be assigned to your battalion!" Liu Wenxiu glanced at Li Yuan and immediately threw the company to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan suddenly had an ominous premonition. Those who came out of the camp were all the commander's personal soldiers.
This kind of arrogant and powerful generals are the most difficult to control. God knows whether they can fight.
"Captain...!"
"Okay, this company is allotted to you. Look at them, their equipment is all double. Everyone has a box cannon!"
"Captain, he came out of the camp...!"
"You don't care where he comes from, he will be your soldier when he comes to your camp.
The good soldiers are all given to you, and the rest will be picked by other battalions first."
Liu Wenxiu smiled and stuffed the rest of Li Yuan's words into her mouth.
"Regiment...!" Li Yuan still wanted to speak, but Liu Wenxiu had already turned around and left to talk to several other battalion commanders.
Seeing that other battalions were recruiting troops, Bayan was a little anxious.
"Battal Commander, let's...!"
"The ones you see over there are all from our camp." Li Yuan glanced helplessly at the guys leaning against the truck in the distance, stamping their feet and chatting.
"Them? I said battalion commander, these people are not easy to manage.
But their equipment is really good!" Bayan looked at the equipment of people in the distance with envy.
Especially since everyone has box cannons, this makes him even more greedy.
What they are equipped with are revolvers.
Although the revolver does not have the problem of jamming, it only has six rounds of ammunition.
In actual combat conditions, it is often not enough. Especially for new recruits, all six rounds of ammunition will be taken out when they are nervous.
If he missed, he would have to face the French bayonet with his bare hands.
Many of Bayan's men suffered casualties like this.
"Don't be interested in their equipment. Those who came from Xingyuan have deep roots." Li Yuan knew from the look on Bayan's expression that this guy was interested in other people's equipment.
"Those who came out of the camp are all the commander's personal soldiers. This...!"
"What, this, that."
"promise!"
After finally waiting for the other battalions to pick up their troops, when it was Li Yuan's turn, there were not many good soldiers left.
There is no other way, these are the only ones left, whatever is left will have to take over.
The careless captain with a sharp face walked up to Li Yuan, stood at attention and saluted.
Chapter completed!
