Time flew by like water, and in a blink of an eye it was the morning of February 2nd, the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939).

A full month has passed since the establishment of Yi Zhenhua's base. Within this month, the base has grown from nothing to a power plant, a mining plant, and a junior barracks.

Today, with the help of Nuotu, Yi Zhenhua decided to formally form his own armed force. He selected one hundred strong men from the young adults in Jinniudong Quantong and trained them as the basis for developing his own armed force.

In the open space in front of the base barracks, one hundred selected young adults formed four columns. Yi Zhenhua strode out of the barracks accompanied by Nuo Tu, Zhao Daquan, Haoyue and Nuo Diexue.

Following a few of them was a group of selected logistics soldiers, who were responsible for helping the main force transport military uniforms, ammunition, supplies and other military supplies. There were about 200 people in total.

Of course, these people cannot be regarded as regular logistics troops now. They can only be regarded as militiamen at best. They will participate in combat during wartime. If there is no war during the busy farming period, they can work in the fields.

Now is not the busy time for farming, so they have time to help Yi Zhenhua with some logistics and other chores.

Surrounded by the crowd, Yi Zhenhua came to the front of the queue, adjusted the brand-new military uniform he had just put on, glanced at the young adults in front of him energetically, and finally withdrew his gaze and said loudly: "Brothers,

It’s a pleasure to be here with you all.”

"First of all, what I want to tell you is that from today on, you can break away from your status as ordinary people, because you will soon become a glorious ***."

"Sir, I don't understand, what's so glorious about sex?" someone in the crowd asked.

"Okay, let me tell you, the reason why the Communist Party of China is glorious is because they always fight at the forefront of defending the country, sacrificing their lives and blood for the country and the nation. For the sake of their fathers, fellow villagers and future generations, they stained their shirts with blood and spared no effort.

One death!

Since the 26th year of the Republic of China to the present, they have fought dozens of large and small battles with the Japanese invaders. In the Battle of Songhu, more than 700,000 people participated in the battle, of which more than half were casualties. In the Battle of Nanjing, more than 100,000 people participated*.

*Together with hundreds of thousands of civilians, all were martyred!

There are also the Battle of Xinkou, the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan that just ended, in which countless unknown heroes died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for their country! And they are the Communists! They are the Chinese Communists composed of a group of Chinese!

"Yi Zhenhua said in an impassioned voice.

"And you, from now on, will also become one of them. From today on, you will also shoulder the mission of defending our country and expelling the Japanese invaders! For the sake of our descendants, we will fight the Japanese to the end and rebuild the country.

!" After saying that, Yi Zhenhua didn't know whether these Li compatriots could understand what he said, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "Distribute military uniforms!"

Immediately, the logistics soldiers carried up bundles of brand-new military uniforms and began to distribute them one by one. Naturally, these military uniforms were all standard military uniforms of the National Revolutionary Army. The military caps had the unified blue sky and white sun emblem, and the National Revolutionary Army emblems were embroidered on the arms.

The words "Army Wuzhishan dú lì Camp".

Soon, a hundred young and middle-aged people received brand new military uniforms. Everyone couldn't help but look at the uniforms in their hands, and then they began to whisper to each other and start a very noisy discussion.

Yi Zhenhua couldn't help but frown. It seems that these farmers still have to train hard, but the time left for him seems to be running out. If he remembers correctly, in a few days, the Japanese army will attack Hainan on a large scale.

Already.

It would be great if we could recruit some people with military training background, even if the troops are defeated, it would be much easier than training ordinary people who have never touched these guns.

Of course, these common people who have never touched a gun are not without their advantages. They are still like blank sheets of paper without any writing on them. They can start everything from scratch, but those who have been soldiers may not be able to.

, they have all been finalized.

In peaceful and prosperous times, simple people who are as blank as paper are naturally the best soldiers, but in these war-torn times, especially when time is tight and the situation is critical, veterans who have actually been on the battlefield are the greatest treasure. With such a

Treasure can quickly help a newly formed army to form combat effectiveness.

Suppressing these thoughts in his mind, Yi Zhenhua coughed twice and shouted loudly: "Brothers, everyone should put on their military uniforms first, and then we will give everyone guns."

After hearing this, the young and middle-aged people began to change their clothes one after another. Then, Yi Zhenhua distributed weapons to them. Since he did not want to shock the world too much, and because his barracks was still in a preliminary state, Yi Zhenhua chose the M1 Plus, a famous American gun made in World War II.

The Rand rifle serves as the standard equipment of its own armed forces.

The M1 Garand rifle was later called the best semi-automatic rifle during World War II. Its detailed data are as follows:

The caliber is 6.72MM, the ammunition capacity is eight rounds, and the effective range is 730 meters. Most importantly, it can fire continuously, and its sustained firepower is unmatched by any manual rifle during the entire World War II period.

There is another classic example of the Garand rifle. After the outbreak of World War II, a twelve-man German reconnaissance squad was ordered to sneak attack an American outpost in the snow-covered Ardennes region.

The vigilance of the US military was very high, and the German troops were discovered 200 meters away from the outpost. Soon sharp gunfire rang out, and the German squad leader and deputy squad leader at the front of the team were killed on the spot. The remaining ten people immediately used Mauser K98 rifles and MP40s

Submachine guns fired back at the U.S. military outpost.

What surprised them was that the U.S. military's counterattack was very ferocious, with dense bullets hitting their faces accurately. The German submachine guns did not dare to fire because of insufficient range, and the German riflemen using back-pull rifles were also suppressed and could not raise their heads.

Soon, two more German soldiers were shot dead, and the remaining German soldiers dispersed. Afterwards, they reported to their superiors that there was more than one squadron of machine gun troops stationed at the US military outpost.

In fact, there were only two recruits from the US 101st Airborne Division at this outpost, and they were not equipped with machine guns. The weapons they used to repel an entire squad of German troops were two famous M1 Garand rifles.

Everyone knows that the German army's combat effectiveness during World War II was relatively strong.

The German army was defeated by its gun, let alone the Japanese in the Asian battlefield at this stage. The Japanese's 38-gun is inferior to the Garand rifle in terms of actual fire speed, effective range and ammunition capacity.

It was far away. On the Pacific battlefield during World War II, two Garands took turns firing and could easily suppress a squad of Japanese troops equipped with 38 rifles.

This shows the excellence of the Garand semi-automatic rifle.

Although the M1 Garand was adopted by the Americans as a standard rifle two years ago, its production is still not large. Two-thirds of the US military are still equipped with manual M1903 Springfield rifles.

Therefore, it can be said that it is most appropriate for Yi Zhenhua to choose to equip the Garand rifle at this time. In this way, the Garand will become famous on the Chinese battlefield and become a nightmare for the Japanese infantry in advance.

As for the submachine gun, it is naturally the Thompson M1928A1 submachine gun. The Thompson is also known as the Chicago Typewriter. You can choose 20 or 30-round magazines or 50 or 100-round drum magazines for ammunition. It is powerful at close range and has strong sustained firepower. Use it with the Garland
