In Cheng Jingxian's impression, the so-called army is just bandits with an upright identity.
The so-called family of soldiers and bandits is no joke. Many times, if the army loses control, it can cause much more damage than the bandits.
In the Northeast, bandits are rampant and thieves are everywhere. Because of the mutual penetration of the Japanese and the Republic of China, and because of the current situation caused by the Russo-Japanese War that once occurred on this land, the Republic of China government has extremely strong control over the Northeast.
Weak, even the serious militia does not look so formal, let alone the security groups organized by each village.
Cheng Jingxian is almost 60 years old this year, and his impression of the military is still the loose double-gun army of various beggar soldiers of the Manchu Qing government. The most disciplined army Cheng Jingxian has ever seen in his life is the Japanese army.
The impression of Lanfang's army on Cheng Jingxian was different from that of all previous armies.
Just after Lao Liu reported to Cheng Jingxian that Lanfang's army had arrived, Cheng Jingxian immediately ordered the bearded men who had followed him down the mountain to line up by the river, hoping to show Lanfang's army how wise the Vladivostok coalition's investment in Shizizhai was.
Among the bandits, Cheng Jingxian is considered pretty good.
There were about 150 people who followed Cheng Jingxian down the mountain, which was considered a relatively large group in the area where Lion Village was located.
Cheng Jingxian's 150 people are all strong young people. They have basically participated in battles with other bandits and local militia groups. They have combat experience. At the same time, each of them has a war horse. This is what Cheng Jingxian is most proud of.
War horses are rare things. The cost of raising one horse is actually more than that of two people. Cheng Jingxian can have 150 war horses in his hands. This is the result of Cheng Jingxian's hard work for many years, and it is also the capital of Shizizhai to settle down here.
Cheng Jingxian was confident that even Lanfang's army would not be able to fight alone, so Cheng Jingxian was ready to show off his strength.
As Cheng Jingxian thought, it is indeed impossible for Lan Fang to have a man and a horse, because Lan Fang doesn't need one at all.
Just after Cheng Jingxian and the others lined up in a neat row by the Mudan River, Cheng Jingxian heard the increasingly clear roar of engines.
Soon, from the foot of the mountain where Lao Liu and the others came, a strange thing that Cheng Jingxian had never seen turned around.
If Mr. Liu were here, Mr. Liu would first explain to Cheng Jing: This is called a three-wheel motorcycle.
Almost at the first sight of the three-wheeled motorcycle, Cheng Jingxian felt that his wish to pretend to be something was in vain. Sure enough, as the weird thing got closer and closer, the weird things coming from the foot of the mountain also got closer and closer.
More and more are coming, two cars, five cars, and ten cars
Weird stuff is followed by bigger weird stuff, then more weird stuff
Well, Cheng Jingxian is already numb.
Forgive this old man who has never seen a car and has only stayed in a mountain den all his life.
You must know that at this time in East Asia, cars were still very rare. Even Japan, the most industrialized country in another time and space, would not notice the importance of cars until next year and establish its first car company.
In the current Republic of China, only a few high-ranking officials could own cars. In remote areas like Mudanjiang, not even the Japanese army owned a single car.
Relatively speaking, there are too many cars in Lanfang. At least so far, Cheng Jingxian has not seen a single Lanfang soldier walking on the road. Even the most ordinary big-headed soldier is sitting in a car.
Cheng Jingxian was not the only one who felt the shock. Everyone lined up by the river was also shocked, but their attention was focused on the war horses under their crotches.
These war horses have experienced battles and will not be frightened even when guns and cannons are fired, otherwise they would not be able to become war horses.
But these war horses have never seen so many strange things, let alone heard the deafening roar of engines, so they are a little anxious now and need to be comforted by the knights to ensure that they are not frightened.
But as a result, the originally neat formation became a little crooked. Fortunately, Cheng Jingxian's attention was not on the formation now, otherwise he would inevitably lose his temper again.
Just when Cheng Jingxian was stunned, a three-wheeled motorcycle stopped in front of Cheng Jingxian. A soldier wearing a military uniform and holding a light machine gun jumped out of the sidecar and asked loudly: "Who is Mr. Cheng?"
When the soldier jumped off the sidecar, Cheng Jingxian was shocked again.
Before going down the mountain, Cheng Jingxian and the others all put on their most glamorous clothes and brought their best-looking weapons, just to show off a good appearance. But bandits are bandits after all, and Cheng Jingxian and the others called them the most glamorous ones.
The clothes are nothing more than a mink hat, sheepskin jacket and cotton boots. If you have a leather bullet bag, you are fully equipped.
The soldier in front of him, according to the concept of military rank popularized by Mr. Liu, is clearly just a sergeant major, not even an officer, but his equipment is surprisingly good.
The sergeant major wore a blue-gray steel helmet, and the helmet was obviously lined with fur, which was good for keeping warm and blocking the wind. The sergeant major wore a blue-gray woolen coat that reached to his knees, with two
The front of the coat was lifted up and fastened to the back of the coat, so that it would not be affected when moving; through the separated parts of the coat, it was obvious that the sergeant major's leather kneepads covering the knees and calves were visible.
Even though the kneepads were not standard equipment, they were still painted blue-gray; the large leather shoes on the sergeant major's feet made Cheng Jingxian the most envious. It was obvious at a glance that these shoes must be sturdy and durable, and have good warmth retention properties.
Cheng Jingxian, who still had uralia stuffed inside his shoes, was extremely envious.
In addition to the clothes on his body, this sergeant major also has many small bits and pieces on his body, such as the collar around his neck, the mask that is pulled down when talking, and the three-finger gloves on his hands. These details can reflect the true nature of Lanfang soldiers.
Strength.
Apart from his clothes, the weapons carried by the sergeant major also opened Cheng Jingxian's eyes. The sergeant major sitting in the sidecar was holding a light machine gun in his arms. When the sergeant major jumped out of the sidecar,
, Cheng Jing first noticed that the machine gunner was actually carrying a pistol, a saber stuffed in the belt on his chest, and a row of grenades could be clearly seen in the leather pouch on his waist.
What he saw in front of him made Cheng Jingxian subconsciously feel like he was rubbing his teeth. If everyone in Lanfang's army was like this, they would be too rich.
Being honored by such a mighty soldier as Lord Cheng made Cheng Jingxian feel happy, so Cheng Jingxian immediately rolled off his horse with a smile on his face.
Haha, I, Cheng Jingxian, have seen the military master Cheng Jingxian and raised his hand as a courtesy.
Well, Cheng Jingxian was so shocked that he had forgotten his identity. This call of military master really revealed Cheng Jingxian's true identity.
It's nothing. No matter who it is, I'm afraid they won't be able to show off in front of such an army.
Sergeant Major Cen Jinchang of the 2nd Battalion and 1st Company of the 1st Regiment of Lanfang Armored Division salutes you. Please come with me, our general is waiting for you. Cen Jinchang was not polite and did not correct Cheng Jingxian's mistakes. He stood at attention and saluted meticulously.
Easy to say, easy to say. Cheng Jing, who had no intention of winning anymore, did not hesitate at first, turned around and wanted to lead the horse.
Major, let's go by car. Cen Jinchang's voice was not loud enough, and Cheng Jingxian could just hear it.
Okay, thank you. Cheng Jingxian blushed, turned around and followed Cen Jinchang onto a three-wheeled motorcycle.
As soon as Cheng Jingxian left, a group of bandits suddenly lost control and jumped off their horses one after another and began to approach the soldiers of the armored division.
Hey, brother, this guy you are using looks so exciting that the bandit Vladivostok coalition soldiers expressed envy.
The soldiers of the armored division were well-informed and knowledgeable, so they immediately issued an invitation: What's the point? We are all a family now, and you will be there too, come on, sit on it and try it out to see if the saddle is comfortable.
The soldiers of the armored division invited the coalition soldiers to come up and have a try, but they couldn't stop looking at the horses of the coalition soldiers.
To be honest, war horses are really rare things in Lanfang.
Come on, come on, let's take turns. Allied soldiers also come up.
If you're so kind, take one. The armored division soldiers immediately fired twenty shots.
Hey, foreign smoke, this is good stuff. The coalition soldiers rubbed their hands excitedly, as if a little dirt on their hands would taint the enjoyment process.
What a good thing this is, there are so many of them, everyone has something given by the superiors. The soldiers of the armored division showed off intentionally or unintentionally.
The coalition soldiers are really envious.
The soldiers of the real armored division were very satisfied with the ostentatious effect.
While the coalition soldiers and armored division soldiers were communicating, Cheng Jingxian and Cen Jinchang were also communicating.
We are sitting here because Cheng Jingxian couldn't help but be curious.
This is called a three-wheel motorcycle. It is mainly equipped with a military truck used by our scouts. It can pull people and things on it. You see, our soldiers don't have many bullets on their bodies. They are all pulled on the truck. These trucks
The one behind it is a 120mm artillery piece. This is a tank. It is the most powerful weapon of our Lanfang Army now. It is all made of steel plates. Even the Japanese heavy machine gun cannot penetrate it. At the same time, it is equipped with a 75mm tank gun and a coaxial
Machine guns are invincible when attacking cities. It is precisely because of tanks that we are armored divisions. Cen Jinchang did not hide it and introduced the vehicles parked on the roadside one by one.
This is an armored command vehicle. The body is all made of steel plates, but it is not as thick as the one on the tank. However, it is much faster than the tank. It can also be used for assault. At the same time, because it has certain defensive capabilities, the space inside the vehicle
It's not too small, and can also be used to form a command major. Here we are. Cen Jinchang introduced it in detail.
To be honest, Cheng Jing, who had come all the way, felt his legs were a little weak when he got off the bus. It was not that the vibration of the motorcycle was too great, but that he felt really unsure.
Before seeing Lan Fang's army, Cheng Jingxian thought that his troops were good. But when he saw Lan Fang's army, the last trace of confidence in Cheng Jingxian's heart had disappeared.
Lanfang's army is so strong, people can take a liking to us.
Why don't you go show someone the door?
This was the thought that was running through Cheng Jingxian's mind when he got out of the car.
