Because more than 2,000 people from the Independent Regiment are stationed, more and more people in the nearby mountains rely on the Independent Regiment for their lives.
For example, vegetables grown at home, wild animals hunted in the mountains, or some mountain products picked, the independent regiment's logistics department basically accepts all comers, and has a special purchasing department at the mountain pass to collect them. There are even some bolder peasant women who collect them.
He made a suggestion to the logistics department to help the officers and soldiers starch their clothes, shoes and socks. The fee was also very low, only twenty copper dollars per person per month.
After the logistics department reported the application to Liu Lang, they specially selected 40 local women with good fortune and good hands and feet, and allowed them to come to the back hill of the independent regiment base between early morning and noon every day to help the officers and soldiers who were exhausted every day and had no energy to do other things.
The price for starching and washing clothes is according to their requirements. 20 copper yuan per month is hardly a burden for soldiers whose monthly salary is 15 yuan.
However, this time Liu Lang did not pay for the laundry expenses and the regimental headquarters was responsible for them. It has become a habit for the soldiers of the Republic to do their own laundry after training. Maintaining a hard and simple style can also improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. Liu Lang can spare no effort to strengthen various
equipment and improve the personal treatment of officers and soldiers, but it does not mean that he wants to turn his troops into veteran soldiers.
It was slightly different from Liu Lang's imagination. Although twenty copper dollars was not much, most of the soldiers who came from poor peasant families were reluctant to part with it. They would rather drag their tired bodies by the pool where the independent regiment used bamboo tubes to draw from the spring on the mountain.
Cleaning the clothes by yourself means that the peasant women do not make much money.
But the income of three to four yuan a month makes the peasant women very satisfied.
The Yamaguchi Erhanzi Hot Pot Restaurant, which is less than three miles away from the base of the Independent Regiment, was opened by another flexible farmer's family. Because the second son of the old couple is a recruit of the Independent Regiment, and the taste is good and the portion is generous, it is very popular.
The officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment welcomed them, and during the monthly holiday, the small farmhouse was often crowded, with the old couple plus the eldest son and his wife being very busy.
At least more than forty officers filled four tables in the evening. If they had not received the news that two sheep had been killed in the afternoon, the four of them would have been busy until nine or ten o'clock in the evening before everyone could eat the mutton hot pot.
For example, the bereaved Zhao Ergou wanted to get drunk, but unfortunately no one gave him a chance. Liu Tuanzuo had long understood this trick of paying for the meal while drunk, and the host must be sober.
Taking advantage of the presence of officers from all departments, Liu Lang happily drank a drink with everyone who toasted to him, and at the same time seriously warned each officer that no one should stop anyone who wanted to sign up for the selection of the special brigade.
, the shortfall caused by going to the Special Forces Brigade will be filled before the New Year.
Of course, there are no veterans if you want them, but for the soldiers sent by the company, the regiment headquarters will reward that company with an MP28 submachine gun on a per-capita basis, which is what the Chinese like to call a flower machine gun.
Liu Lang knows too well the importance of a veteran to an army. Even if it is a military order, these guys dare to hide it for the sake of the combat effectiveness of their army. There can be five people, but they dare to only report three. However, now,
He threw out this bait, and Liu Lang believed that these company-level officers were not fools.
The gun body, which is only 60 centimeters long, has a magazine capacity of 32 rounds. It can kill all enemies within 100 meters at a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute. It is definitely a killer weapon in close combat. When Chen Jiongming rebelled,
At that time, General Ye relied on a flower trap to protect the mother of the country and fought his way out.
In 1926, Gongxian Arsenal began to imitate MP18 in large quantities. However, because the price of 7.62MM bullets was high and the bullets were not compatible with rifle bullets, the national army did not have a large amount of equipment. It would be good to have a few in a company. Liu Lang
During this period, I only collected more than 60 guns and more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition. Because there were too many monks, there were only 9 companies in the infantry battalion, plus the troops directly under the regiment, Liu Lang simply stopped issuing them, and it depends on who can give them.
Whoever contributes more veterans to the special forces will receive more. If you exchange a melee weapon for a veteran, at least you won't lose money.
Sure enough, while having a good time, each company commander's chest was slapping loudly, indicating that he would never hide his secrets and would use his power to get more from his company.
Even Zhao Ergou was jealous and clamored to contribute at least fifty veterans, but everyone took the initiative to ignore this guy's pretending to be drunk. He was only half drunk. Are you and your brothers doing this?
Who would believe that artillerymen should become special forces?
Sure enough, early the next morning, Ling Hong and Xiao Fenghua, who were guarding the registration point, received nearly 200 registration forms. In addition to veterans, ten recruits who were among the top ten recruits also signed up, and Liu Lang specially approved them.
After several nights of ideological struggle, Shi Datou, who had adapted to the life in the military camp, finally bravely took the first step towards the combat force.
Since you have signed up, there must be an assessment. The first level is a 50-mile cross-country trip in full gear. All the equipment has been distributed. This time you are not carrying bricks and stones of the same weight as before, but actually carrying guns and ammunition.
As well as various individual soldier supplies.
Special forces have always been synonymous with the elite in the army. In addition to what ordinary infantry should bring, Liu Lang also asked each person to bring an extra shell gun, four grenades and 200 rounds of ammunition, as well as an engineer shovel borrowed from the engineers.
The dazzling array of equipment all over the body looks very majestic, but only the soldiers who hang it all on their bodies know how painful it is. The weight must exceed fifty kilograms, and they have to run fifty miles within the time specified by the regiment.
However, new recruits like Cai Dadao and Shan Ying still stubbornly carried their personal weapons, swords and bows. Liu Lang was right with a faint smile. The soldiers of the special forces never said that they must use standard weapons. He originally
The sniper rifles and fighting sabers used in the Long Yan Army are all equipped according to their own preferences. Only when soldiers feel comfortable using them can they maximize their firearms and personal abilities.
The 50-mile cross-country test, which can be called the devil's test in this era, directly eliminated most of the people. Even the elite veterans could not carry a weight of 50 pounds and run 50 miles in the mountains like an antelope. There were even more than 40 people.
, he passed out due to dehydration on the mountain road and was admitted to the temporary medical point stationed by Liu Lang.
There is no ranking in the special brigade assessment. If you pass, you have passed, but if you have failed, you will be issued a license plate to participate in subsequent training assessments. If you fail, you will go directly back to the old army. It is simple and straightforward.
However, this time the first place was not the perverted Chen Yunfa, but Shi Datou, who had been a cook for three months. The superhuman endurance of the martial arts master was even more terrifying than Chen Yunfa. He was carrying fifty kilograms of equipment and was pulling
Mo Mao Mao, who was exhausted, walked more than ten miles on the mountain road and didn't put him down until he was a few miles away from the finish line.
According to a report from the soldier responsible for monitoring to Liu Lang, Mo Mao Mao, who was exhausted for quite a long time, was not even being pulled along but was being held up by a stone. Although this is hard to believe, it is true.
in this way.
Liu Lang was noncommittal. Helping his comrades was also a must-have potential for special forces. As long as he had this ability, there was nothing wrong with dragging a company by himself.
New recruits Zhongshan Ying and Cai Dadao suddenly emerged. Although they arrived at the finish line at the last moment, they had surpassed more than 100 veterans and became one of the 48 people who could participate in the second round of assessment. Moreover, the two of them fought
Holding a new recruit Niu Er who fell five miles away from the finish line, for five miles, a former gangster and a lonely hunter who had fought against the gangsters alone for several years were holding up an unconscious man whose whole body weighed more than 180 kilograms.
The former farm boy staggered to the finish line.
Three people who once lived in completely different worlds, just like this, you supported me and I held you, staggering across the line drawn by Liu Lang with his toes.
Then, the three of them fell heavily to the ground, and the two heroic recruits were as tired as two dogs that had been exposed to the sun for several days in the desert.
But no one laughed.
A young nurse who was on standby at the finish line and was in charge of medical security even shed tears on the spot. Although she was in a state of embarrassment, the cute girl's heart was softened by the man's strength.
The three new recruits, whether they had just fallen or those who had fallen long ago, without exception, were respected by all the veterans.
The 48 people who passed only had a pass rate of 25% compared to the 200 people who participated. Adding Mo Xiaomao, the recruits had a pass rate of 40% and told everyone that they were even rookies.
He is also a rookie who is qualified to spread his wings and fly high.
