"I don't understand." Yang Er seemed a little anxious. He was afraid of being underestimated by Yang Chendong. He added: "young master, there are not as many field guns as mortars in terms of volume, firepower distance and power."

"But its shells are cheap. With such guns, you can fire shells at will. Isn't this comparable to mortars?" Yang Chendong snorted, but replied, which made Yang Er lose his temper in an instant.

The insufficient number of shells has always been one of the main factors restricting the development and growth of the five-star army. Often, unless necessary, the five-star army will not use mortars when fighting with the enemy, and even when it is used, there are several shells to be fired, which must be calculated, which gives people a very uncomfortable feeling. For this reason, some people in the military have also asked why they can not prepare more shells for war?

For such a problem, Yang Chendong directly pressed down with the high cost of shells. Fortunately, the researchers will not have any connection with the army, which is also a method and strategy of Yang Chendong's local governance. The army only cares about fighting, civil servants only manage local areas, and scientific research workers only care about development and research. The parties cannot have horizontal contact, which makes other departments seem very mysterious to the people in this department. So this answer has blocked the mouths of many people.

Now, with the emergence of field artillery, Yang Chendong doesn't have to find so many excuses to tell the origin of this artillery in the future. And a shell used casually immediately made Yang Er very excited. "Young master, can you really fight at will?"

"Er! It's not random, but the number of shells is always higher than that of mortars. Oh, by the way, the officials in Nancheng just reported that the greenhouse there can have a good harvest. Take someone to have a look." I'm afraid Yang Erhui will put forward the idea that if the shells are random, we should try two shells first, and Yang Chendong supported it in a word.

When Yang Er left, Yang Chendong was also quiet. Then he looked at Qiu Wu, the leader of the first brigade of the black cavalry Dragon Guard, who followed him, and said, "it is planned to send a telegram to the chixian city to let them transport more shells. After the spring, we should let the enemy know that they are not even qualified to return to our five-star army."

The weather is getting colder and colder, and heavy snow is covering all over Eastern Europe.

At this time in previous years, it was the most difficult time for the people. Many people even died of freezing and starvation because of the cold weather and lack of food. With the arrival of the five-star army, everything has changed.

A large number of grain transported through the main roads of the three northeastern provinces stopped the people from starving. Although the goal of complete satiety with three meals a day cannot be achieved, there is still no problem with two meals a day. In particular, the harvest of those greenhouses has led to more green vegetables in the city, which we dare not dream of. Now it has been realized, so many people knelt on the ground and lamented the superb "magic" of King Wunan of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, they also strengthened their determination to follow each other.

Many more people are ready to work hard after the spring and strive to earn more Han coins. In this way, they can buy more food next winter and bid farewell to the days of starvation and cold.

A large number of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other seeds have been sent to the warehouse. With these high-yield things, Yang Chendong believes that next year will certainly be a bumper harvest year. Since then, the people here will not only bid farewell to the life of not having enough food, but also become a new food base, a bridgehead from here into the European land, and another existence like a starting city.

This winter passed quietly in the hope of the people. In March 1493, the weather began to warm gradually, and the heavy snow began to melt. After that, the four cities with a peculiar smell in the Yang system radiated their new youth, and countless people went out of their homes to build roads. For them, having something to do and earning Chinese coins is the most beautiful life.

In March, the snow on the road began to melt, and the soldiers made preparations for the war with full emotion and state.

Among them, tens of thousands of recruits are the most excited. This winter, they were stained with the light of being a member of the five-star army, put on thick and warm military coats, and some well behaved officers promoted to officers. They also issued a black down jacket. When they put on this dress, they are not afraid in cold weather. For a time, a down jacket can be changed into a daughter-in-law, which is happening among the people. Unexpectedly, there is a trend that supply exceeds demand.

This is what Yang Chendong didn't expect, but in this poor era, human life is the most worthless. In the troubled times, it really happened. Hearing this statement, Yang Chendong was very sad and laughed, but it shows from another direction that Yang's items are so popular and popular with the people.

A down jacket for a daughter-in-law was circulated in the army. Many recruits who can't marry their daughter-in-law are excited. They are also eager to set up a fighter plane and get a down jacket. Under the material stimulation, the morale of the army is very high. Yang Chendong knew it was time to take the initiative.

With more than 30000 veterans of the new second army, supplemented by 60000 recruits of the White Russian division, plus three main regiments of the second division of the cold front second army, an artillery battalion and a division of the air force, a total of 120000 troops left Kazan city in mid March and went straight to the nearest Samara city.

Yes, the air force is here, too. Major general Tianyu, the commander of the air force, took sun Lixing, the commander of the first division, with the transportation brigade to Eastern Europe to report to Yang Chendong.

The foreign five-star army has three armies, sea, land and air, but in fact, the air force is often ignored. With the least personnel, the controlled hot-air balloons also need the cooperation of the weather, so that they can't give full play to their original strength on the battlefield, so that they can't be counted on in many wars.

Watching the army eat meat and expand the territory; The Navy also took action and began to run across the sea, attacking cities and seizing land; Major general Tianyu, the supreme commander of the air force, finally couldn't help it. He begged his grandparents to go to Feng Ke, the first engineer of the Institute of science and technology, and even borrowed a science and technology development team from him at the risk of impeachment. With the efforts of the team day and night, the direction of the hot-air balloon was not only solved, but also a higher hydrogen balloon was made.

A steam engine is added to the refitted hot-air balloon. After changing the power, they can fly as they want in the air, where they want to fly, and move forward without the help of the wind. You can stay in the sky for 24 hours, which is enough to meet the needs of ordinary war.

After making progress, commander Tianyu kept reporting to Yang Chendong and asked to fight. Finally got such a chance to perform. At present, he traveled thousands of miles from chixian city to the three northeastern provinces, then to the Far East, and then to Siberia. He spent the Spring Festival on his way. Finally arrived in Kazan city a week ago and caught up with the attack plan of this wave.

In order to verify that Tianyu's words were not exaggerated, Yang Chendong first watched the other party's performance in the air. After seeing that it did have the function of pointing and playing, he waved his hand and agreed to participate in the military plan to attack the Golden Horde.

With the cooperation of the air force and the full 200 75mm field guns delivered several times, Yang Chendong took 120000 troops out of Kazan city with full confidence and went straight to Samara city.

These 120000 people are just the first echelon. Behind him, there is a newly built second division of Belarus, with 60000 members. After the main force of the five-star army attacks cities and lands, they will be responsible for logistics transportation support, battlefield cleaning and custody of soldiers and prisoners.

The commander of the second division was nikolaf.

From the first generation of acting division commander to the second division commander, nikolav was dignified and took the initiative to give the first division commander to ahuri. In his words, the other party had sweated a lot and knew how to manage an army better than himself.

Nikolav's humility, seen in Yang Chendong's eyes, made him very satisfied. According to the observation these days, this person has strong learning ability, and the most important thing is loyalty. He never thought he was a White Russian. On the contrary, he applied for Chinese nationality several times. He even said publicly that there is no way to change a person's origin. All he can do is to be a qualified Han through his own efforts.

Such a loyal person is still a talent. Of course, Yang Chendong had no reason to let go. With a stroke of his pen, he agreed to his request for Han nationality, and gave him the position of the second division teacher. And let the new second army leave a battalion to protect his safety. After all, it means to spy on him.

Yang Chendong never believes in foreigners lightly. Even if he believes that the other party will not betray, there should be no less measures.

After temporarily handing over the rear affairs to nikolaf, Yang Chendong took 120000 troops out of the city to the south. As soon as he made this move, the Scouts of the golden tent Khanate who had been watching him closely responded and reported the matter to the Great Khan.

In the golden tent, Mahama summoned all the generals to discuss how to deal with the five-star army.

Without knowing the strength of the five-star army, the generals looked relaxed, especially Muhammad, the most ferocious general, said with disdain: "These Han people really wanted to die. We didn't find them, but they came to die by themselves. Big Khan, at the end of the day, will invite 50000 elite riders to hunt outside Samara and catch these two legged sheep as slaves."
