The Qing army mobilized 30,000 troops to the security group. After receiving the news, Xia Jun immediately began to arrange a plan to wipe out the Qing army. Although he did not like the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, he still attached great importance to it in tactics.

The plan to completely annihilate is to wait for trouble, face the front and block the rear.

The battlefield was chosen in the Shuxi area of ​​Jian'an County, which was very flat, which was conducive to the formation during combat. In addition, some troops were arranged to ambush the mountains, first let the Qing army go, and then block the original route.

After the front-facing troops defeat the Qing army, they will attack on both sides and completely annihilate the Qing army. 30,000 Qing troops will be killed, and 3 million points will be brought.

Since the government in the northwestern Fujian region had been destroyed, Xia Jun transferred most of the local second-line troops and formed five battalions of troops.

Four of the battalions were formed by the second-line troops, and the other battalion was the main force.

Xia Jun also established a General Staff Department, with members of the General Staff Department being students of the Army Academy and Chen Xuanyu, who served as Minister of the General Staff Department.

"There may be some artillery in the Qing army, but we still lack artillery. Although there are grenade launchers, if the Qing army cannot be defeated quickly once the war starts, some casualties may occur during the battle." Chen Xuanyu said.

According to the reconnaissance platoon, there were indeed some artillery among the 30,000 Qing troops gathered by Song Shou. Although they were relatively backward, there were several Western artillery, which might be Krupp. However, the reconnaissance platoon was semi-illiterate and did not recognize the style of artillery, so they could only tell that it was Western artillery.

The problem is that the security team does not have a single gun now.

Artillery is very expensive!

A French 75mm rapid-fire gun requires 2,000 points per goal, plus a tow vehicle, 2,200 points, and a shell requires 20 points.

This made Xia Jun feel that it was not cost-effective, especially the shells, the larger the shells, the more expensive it was. One larger shell was enough to exchange for one, or even a few m1 Garlands.

So, Xia Jun has never equipped the security team with artillery, but now it is not possible to be equipped. After all, there will always be tough battles, and it is really difficult to fight without artillery!

In field battles like this, it’s nothing to have no artillery. Although you may suffer a little loss, you will definitely not lose too much. However, since there is a need, Xia Jun had to nod and said to them: “A batch of artillery will be delivered in two days. Let’s form an artillery company first.”

"But who will take this artillery company?" Xia Jun asked.

Chen Xuanyu shook his head, he didn't know either!

He studied infantry, not artillery, and he didn't know much about artillery.

"Okay! Get lots~!" Xia Jun said helplessly. On that day, Xia Jun drew lots at Jianzhou Army Academy, and selected 10 students from the first class to establish the artillery department.

Xia Jun then exchanged for 6 French 75mm rapid-fire cannons, which were improved by France in 1917 and were very powerful.

Weight: 1544 kg

Tube length: 2700 mm

Ammunition: High explosion/fragmentation/anti-armor 5.97-7.25 kg are common 7.24 kg

Diameter: 75 mm

Common transport: artillery motorized carriage (6 horses)/artillery trailer

Elevation: -11 degrees - +18 degrees

Directional shooting: 6 degrees

Rate of fire: 15 rounds per minute

First speed: 500 meters per second

Effective range: 6 to 7 kilometers.

The biggest advantage of this 75mm rapid-fire gun is its high firing rate. Generally, the firing rate of rapid-fire gun is only 6 to 8 rounds per minute, while the French 75mm rapid-fire gun can reach 15 rounds per minute, and the range is no different from other artillery of the same level.

6 doors, 75mm, plus 6 towing trucks, and 5,000 shells, Xia Jun spent 113,600 points, and Xia Jun grinned in pain.

It seems that the military industry must develop as soon as possible, and it is really not a solution to continue like this.

If you can, try not to exchange these conventional weapons, otherwise it will not be enough to earn more points. This is just an artillery company, which costs so many points. Of course, the most expensive one is still artillery shells. How can you avoid firing shells in war?

With the speed of the Qing army's marching, it would take as long as one week to arrive in Jian'an County, and Xia Jun began to arrange the battlefield.

The route of the Qing army was very easy to judge. It was nothing more than going from Fuzhou to Nanping, and then from Nanping to Jian'an. It was just a provincial road, and it would inevitably pass through the Shuixi area.

Xia Jun pulled three battalions to Shuixi to set up defenses. One of them was arranged in the mountains of Baishuiyuan Village, waiting for the command headquarters to order. Once the order was received, it rushed out of Baishuiyuan and blocked the official road.

The other two battalions were deployed in Shuixi, and the combat position of the artillery company was arranged in Dayangshan, with a range of enough to cover the entire battlefield.

The training of the artillery company was launched quickly, but for a security regiment that had not been exposed to artillery, it was not so easy to develop good combat effectiveness. The artillery training was launched immediately, but the coach bullet was used, which was much cheaper.

Just as the security team was preparing to fight, the people in northwestern Fujian were not so stable. At this time, northwestern Fujian announced its autonomy, and many people felt confused.

Because they were worried that the Qing army would enter the suppression, some gentry had already planned to run away.

However, the security regiment was very stable, and the military spirit was not shaken at all. Instead, they were eager to fight with the Qing Dynasty to show the "superb" combat skills trained by the security regiment. Although the individual combat skills have been well trained, they are still good compared to Western countries. After all, Western countries rely on machines to fight, and compared with Japan, their combat skills are a little worse. After all, the accumulation of time cannot be evened in the short term.

Jianzhou University was even more excited. Those students of the Restoration Association who joined the Han Democratic Party shouted the slogan of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and were very excited about the autonomy of northwestern Fujian.

Although they were not independent, they believed that the day was not far away.

Li Shilin was also full of sarcasm. Whether the Li family was alive or dead at this time depends entirely on whether the security regiment could resist the Qing army. Once they could not resist the Qing army's attack, the first person to die was their Li family.

The change in northwestern Fujian was entirely due to his Li family.

Li Shilin didn't blame his daughter. It's already like this, what's the use of blaming him? If Xia Jun is really capable of creating a world, the Li family will have to rely on Xia Jun's rest in the future.

But Xia Jun asked him to release his daughter, but Li Shilin did not agree. Now the Qing army is coming to fight. What should I do if I lose the person in a mess?

The last time Li Shijing returned to China, she was unhappy and wanted to go out for fun. He agreed, but was robbed by bandits. This time Li Shilin refused to let him go.

Whether this wave of autonomous power in northwestern Fujian can calm people's hearts depends entirely on the battle between the security regiment and the Qing army.
