Chapter 30: Replication Base

  The teaching team is stationed near the county town and has more than a dozen temporary houses.

  The personnel here are extremely scarce, although they claim to be a group, but in fact there are only more than 400 people. Except for the few officers with actual combat experience, the rest are newly recruited new soldiers, but they all have culture, which is also why Yang Junran wants to build an instructional team.

  This remote county town belongs to a vast ranch, with green pastures all around except for the sandy soil.

  If it weren't too remote, this place would have belonged to the Japanese long ago.

  After the national army troops were stationed in the small county town, it became very lively.

  Now not only has the county town been expanded, but various shops have also started selling.

  Even several ironmongers' shops have started doing business in the county town. Of course, they got their first big deal, making 2,000 large knives.

  This was arranged by Yang Jun-ran because after he saw the power of female soldiers using big knives, he also decided to train his own troops in close combat.

  The teaching team's base, except for a few sentry posts outside the door, all the other warriors have already begun to enter the room for instruction.

  Although there were few officers in the teaching group, it was still no problem to teach these students.

  "Commander, how did you come?" A lieutenant was extremely surprised after seeing Yang Junran.

  Yang Junran smiled slightly but didn't say a word, and directly walked towards several rooms.

  Although it is very simple here, Yang Junran has confidence that he can train all these students into excellent officers.

  The students in the room were very serious, and the officer was constantly drawing something on a clipboard.

  Yang Junran took a closer look and only then discovered that the officer was teaching the application tactics of infantry platoon in defensive warfare.

  Seeing the students studying hard, Yang Junran was relatively satisfied.

  "Commander." A lieutenant colonel walked over from a distance, as everything here was his responsibility. After all, Yang Junran had too many concurrent positions.

  Yang Junran smiled and said to the lieutenant colonel, "Now there are not many officers in the teaching group. You mainly train their physical fitness during the day. After all, this is a military training ground, and they can't even stand at attention when they graduate, right? At night, I will dispatch main officers from each department to give lectures. You immediately divide the personnel according to the six departments of engineering, artillery, infantry, armored troops, logistics, and cavalry."

  "Affirmative, Commander."

  Yang Junran patted the lieutenant colonel's shoulder and walked out towards a room on the side.

  He believes that it won't be long before these trainees become his trusted subordinates.

  Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner, inside a larger yurt.

  Li Shouxin had just finished drinking a cup of milk and his complexion had also recovered somewhat.

  This banner also holds the county town occupied by Yang Junran, and Li Shoushen's trip here this time is mainly to deploy troops to contain Yang Junran's forces.

  Although his two teachers were injured, the elite of the cavalry division was still there. Li Shouxin believed that as long as he had a large number of cavalry troops, he could easily defeat Yang Junran's infantry, and at that time, the Japanese would not be able to say anything.

  Before long, a man with a very rough appearance walked in, dressed in Mongolian attire and carrying a curved knife.

  "Jiltai Qi is long." Li Shouxin, although serving as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army, still had to maintain a respectful attitude towards these flag bearers. After all, they were their independent capital, and no one would dare to offend them.

  The man known as Jiltai nodded slightly after seeing Li Shouxin, with a very proud look.

  Li Shouxin sat on the carpet, laughing and said: "Jiertai Qi Chang, your place is not very peaceful, unexpectedly there are National Army troops arrived at your territory, but you don't know anything about it. The Japanese army has dispatched troops to encircle and suppress, but encountered some minor troubles. I hope Jiertai Qi Chang can generously provide support."

  Jill Tai glanced at the milk on the table, poured a full cup and drank it down with gusto.

  Although he looks rough, it doesn't mean he isn't wise, otherwise the large Dariganga Mongolian tribe wouldn't let him lead.

  They want freedom and independence, they don't want anyone to interfere with their affairs, this is the thinking of most people in Dariganga.

  "I've also heard about this matter, it seems the Japanese have suffered a great loss. I think your attack this time has also been a loss, otherwise you wouldn't be coming to me. Just say it straight out, what do you want us to do? You can't be thinking of having our troops go and attack them?" Giltae stared at Li Shouxin with wide eyes.

  Li Shouxin shook his head and said to Jiltei, "As long as your troops are stationed within the nearby counties, our people will withdraw immediately."

  This was a great temptation for Jiltae, since Li Shouxin and others had colluded with the Japanese, several county towns under their jurisdiction were guarded by Li Shouxin's Mongolian army, his own troops had followed him to the pasture, living in tents, now Li Shouxin put forward such conditions, but made Jiltae hesitate.

  "Alright, I'll grant your request, but you must provide us with a batch of weapons." Jill Tay agreed, but didn't forget to extort Li Shouxin.

  Li Shouxin saw Jiertai nodding in agreement and nodded his head in satisfaction.

  He is not a good man or woman, just wait until the troops of Jilte and Yang Junran are both wounded, and then he can reap the benefits.

  Li Shouxin finally agreed to supply Jeltai with a batch of weapons, and Jeltai's troops immediately entered the county seat to deploy defenses.

  Yang Junran was unaware of all this and continued to be busy with his own affairs.

  The current teaching team is facing some difficulties, but they can still hold on.

  What worried Yang Junran the most was that since he had managed to produce forty tanks and twenty artillery pieces, everyone looked at him as if he were a freak.

  If Yang Junran's mental endurance wasn't stronger, he would have been driven mad by others a long time ago.

  The only thing that made Yang Junran happy was that Kang Lianqin had solved all her own problems.

  This guy went out once and not only seized a lot of fuel but also collected a lot of cement and steel bars.

  These were originally intended by the Japanese army to fortify the county town, but they have now become Yang Junran's spoils of war.

  At noon, Yang Junran gnawed on a steamed bun and walked out of the county town with several officers.

  The military ranks of these officers are quite low, with the highest being a lieutenant, but according to Yang Junran, they are all technical troops.

  "Alright, it's fine here, don't be nervous. Come on, the mantou is for eating, not for holding in your hands." Yang Junran looked at several military officers who were still quite tense, with the mantou he had given them still clutched in their hands, and could only smile to comfort them.

  The officers saw Yang Junran's gentle and affable manner, and they also relaxed a lot.

  "Come over and take a look, I plan to build a huge underground project here that can hold at least civilians and ammunition, and if possible, also allow tanks and artillery to enter. Time is not my concern, you just need to be able to complete the task." Yang Junran finished eating the bun in his hand, took out a set of drawings from his body, and handed them over to several military officers.

  "Are those cement and steel also used for construction here?" a lieutenant asked, taking over the blueprint.

  "Hmm, those cement and steel are prioritized to be supplied here. The town also needs to have tunnels dug, so that they can run here freely." Yang Junran said directly to the lieutenant.

  The lieutenant and several officers discussed it and said to Yang Junran: "Such a project is too big, at least we need to withdraw troops to support, besides I suggest that the engineering students of the teaching regiment also participate, this can increase manpower and also exercise their actual combat experience."

  "This is no problem, now a brigade has at least three to four thousand people, and four brigades can take turns participating in the construction of this project." Yang Junran readily agreed. Having such a large underground project was mainly because Yang Junran was afraid that once the Japanese army gathered its forces to attack, it could provide a safe place for the ordinary people, and also provide a base for himself to retreat to. Of course, the areas for supplying the people and retreating had to be separated from each other.

  "Alright, Commander, we'll get ready right away and try to start work tomorrow morning." Lieutenant said seriously to Yang Junran.

  Yang Junran nodded, looking very pleased.

  "Commander, we've received a message from the female soldiers. They're planning a major operation." Staff officer Xia Ke rushed over to say to Yang Junran.

  Yang Junran exchanged a few words with several engineering officers and quickly ran towards Xia Ke.

  "What's going on? What are they doing?" Yang Junran ran to Xia Ke's side and asked immediately.

  Xia Kejing said: "I'm not clear about the specifics, but they sent over a female military officer, who is even a colonel, wearing the National Army uniform, and Director Cui is receiving her."

  As soon as he heard that it was Choi Jeong-myeong who was receiving him, Yang Jun-nyeon's face changed and he quickly ran towards the county town.

  Although he couldn't quite put his finger on the reason, Yang Junran had a considerable opinion about this Cui Zhengming, especially after he came here to be the head of the secret telegraph office. Yang Junran hadn't given him a good look once, and most of the time, he just gave him cold greetings, hoping that Cui Zhengming would know his limits and back off.

  Xia Ke saw Yang Junran running ahead and followed behind him in a daze, shouting repeatedly: "Commander Yang, wait for me!"
