Although the unexpected episode of Ji Yanxue going straight in and revealing her true feelings frightened Captain Liu Da into panic and fled, resulting in the explanation of the anti-incline tunnel tactics coming to an end, Liu Lang still achieved his goal.
The wise saying that practice is the only criterion for testing truth has been verified again. Since then, every time the independent regiment builds field fortifications, from the officers to the soldiers, everyone has tried their best, often intensifying the harsh standards.
, Never use wood if there are steel plates, and never dig eight feet if you can dig two feet.
In fact, it was all because of Liu Lang's order to bombard him today. If the group went crazy again that day and died under his own shells before the enemy's shells were wasted, it would really make the king of hell cry twice.
, so unfair.
The newly established artillery company did not disappoint Liu Lang. Although Zhao Ergou had a bit of a bad mouth, his ten years of artillery skills were not given in vain. With him as an expert artilleryman, as long as he was given sufficient training shells, he would be able to train
Not to mention a few sex masters.
Liu Lang already imagined that in half a year on the Great Wall, the blood of the Japanese invaders would stain the entire mountain peak red.
However, these are nothing compared to the change in another person's attitude.
Huang Jiqing, who had been hit by dozens of shells from his own family, might have been stunned because of the shock. He no longer insisted on his original intention. Although he still had to report to the Geological Survey, he reduced the proven iron ore reserves to two.
One-tenth of the time, a large iron ore instantly turned into a small iron ore.
Liu Lang was naturally overjoyed. It was simple to change the value from large to small, but its meaning was completely different. Although China's current geological exploration started late, and not many mineral deposits were discovered, it does not mean that there are not any.
, Small-scale iron mines are produced everywhere. As long as they pay high taxes to the government or provide a certain amount of ore, private mining is also possible, such as the small-scale iron mines mined by Liu Lang's family. The only thing the government values is
It's just a large mineral deposit. This is in the interests of the central government. They have no energy to focus on a place that is not worthy of their attention.
In other words, Huang Jiqing's dispensable report is basically the same as no report, and is even better than concealing it. Even if the superiors know that the independent group mines iron ore and builds a steel factory to make guns and bullets, as long as they send enough
No one will take this seriously. He must be a capable person who can help reduce the burden on the central government.
Moreover, Huang Jiqing not only helped to conceal the fact of iron ore production, but was actually willing to help the independent regiment survey the geology of the fortress under construction in the base within half a month. This was also a pillow for sleepiness. In Longmen Mountain
There are so many karst caves and the geological structure is complex, which adds a lot of difficulty to the project. A geologist like Huang Jiqing took the initiative to come to our door. How could Liu Lang be reluctant?
The reason why there was only half a month left was that Liu Lang also knew that this man was about to leave for Sweden to study in mid-August. By the time he returned from his studies, the Japanese invaders had already begun a full-scale invasion.
Liu Lang didn't ask why Huang Jiqing suddenly changed his mind. A smart man would keep it all secret. Liu Lang also never told anyone that he took Master Huang to hide in the fortifications to be fired on a whim.
Later, when Master Huang came to his senses and asked Liu Lang, Liu Tuanzuo never admitted it.
A passionate young man with a scholarly spirit is nothing more than this. Liu Lang, who has been born in two generations, must have a much deeper routine than the future geologist who just graduated from school.
Everything in the independent group is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Soon, time entered September, and the nearly three-month boot camp was about to be completed.
The base of the Independent Regiment is located in a mountainous area. It is sweltering during the day, but it is still very cool at night, especially since it is the beginning of autumn. The cool breeze is very suitable for sleeping, but most of the recruits of the Independent Regiment still toss and turn and have difficulty falling asleep. Tomorrow is the day of the official assessment.
No one wants to replenish the battalion, and no one wants to work as a strong man with mules and horses in the baggage company. Because they all work hard, except for the hundred people with particularly outstanding personal abilities, most of the other recruits are not sure about the challenges they will face tomorrow.
There is no bottom line in the assessment.
Many people even didn't even take off their military uniforms and leggings, and just lay in bed to recharge their batteries. If nothing else happened, there would be an emergency assembly training at three or four in the morning every day. The recruits were almost used to being abused.
Even if tomorrow is the last day of the new camp, we can't take it lightly.
As expected by most people, at dawn, at about five o'clock in the morning, the shrill sound of bamboo flutes sounded outside the barracks. The recruits quickly packed their quilts and their own clothes, wearing the rubber uniforms they had been issued in the past two days.
He put on his "anti-Japanese shoes" and quickly ran to the training field a hundred meters away to assemble according to the position divided by his company.
From the sound of the bamboo flute to the entire recruit camp standing in line, it took no more than 2 minutes. Liu Lang, who had been looking at the time on his watch, nodded with satisfaction. This is almost the same as the future Republic Army's light emergency muster standard of one and a half minutes.
Too much.
However, the new recruits standing there were in a daze. Today, it seems different from the past!
Standing in front of them were almost all the high-ranking officials of the Independent Regiment. Moreover, including the fat regiment leader, all the school officers and lieutenants were fully armed, wearing steel helmets on their heads, and wearing Hua Bu Liuqiu's somewhat weird clothes that were issued recently.
Training uniform, pistol and magazine inserted into the armed belt.
Of course, that's not all. In front of them were the Maxim heavy machine guns and Czech-made light machine guns that they were already familiar with. They were no strangers to these weapons that could instantly shoot out tongues of fire that could cut a person into two pieces. They were almost familiar with them.
Everyone fired more than 200 rounds of ammunition with these two light and heavy machine guns, a total of 200,000 rounds of ammunition. It is said that Major Liang, who was in charge of logistics, was so distressed that he could not sleep for several nights.
Although there are only one or two hundred soldiers who are qualified to become machine gunners, it feels really satisfying to be able to smash a target hundreds of meters away with one pull of the trigger. The recruits feel very satisfied that they can own such a firearm.
The barrels of several light and heavy machine guns that could be counted on both hands glowed coldly in the dim sky, reflecting the solemn expressions of the company commanders of the fully armed recruits on the side.
The recruits' hearts trembled. Is this going to be a war? The veterans in the queue who were the recruit squad leaders were all indifferent. In fact, the order was given to them last night, but it was only today that the recruits were given the order.
Just know it.
Sure enough, while the recruits were still muttering in their hearts, Yu Xiancheng, the top commander of the recruit battalion, first issued an order for each recruit company to receive equipment.
Under the leadership of each company commander, the recruits received their own recruit equipment, a steel helmet, a bullet belt that can hold 200 rounds of ammunition, a fine cowhide armed belt, a dry food bag, a water bottle, a pole made in Hanyang, and an independent regiment.
One newly developed three-sided army spur and two hand grenades.
The new recruits carried their full set of equipment and stood in line again with uneasiness, joy and excitement. At this time, they already knew in their hearts that a war was indeed going to happen. The subordinates of the logistics officer Major Liang not only gave
They were equipped with individual soldiers, and each of them was given 150 rounds of ammunition, a full base of one and a half bullets, enough to support them in fighting a large-scale battle.
The next step is to distribute heavy weapons in companies. Each recruit company is issued 3 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns and 9 Czech-made light machine guns. Each heavy machine gun is issued 800 bullets, and the light machine gun is issued 300 bullets. Each
The company is also issued a mortar, but the artillery team sent by the regiment's artillery company is responsible for operating it.
Nearly 2,000 new veterans from ten companies, fully armed, stood at the training ground, waiting with anxiety for the order for their first military action since becoming soldiers.
