After the war in Vladivostok ended, Xu Rui received an order from his superiors to lead a regiment of troops to the Pacific battlefield. So, Xu Rui led the troops to Vladivostok. They took an American transport plane in Vladivostok. After several twists and turns, they finally arrived in Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii.
Here, Xu Rui and his soldiers were issued new weapons, all beautiful equipment and military uniforms after being disinfected.
In terms of firearms, the United States originally equipped Xu Rui's troops with M1 Garand rifles, but Xu Rui refused to receive them. Xu Rui, who came from another time and space, certainly knew the fatal shortcomings of the M1 Garand.
The rifles designed by Europeans and Americans are too long, and are even taller than the relatively short Asians. On the Korean battlefield, Korean soldiers carrying such bulky rifles that were as tall as themselves were beaten around by the volunteers like they were chasing ducks.
.
Therefore, Xu Rui refused to receive this rifle and instead requested to be equipped with a Thompson submachine gun. The Thompson submachine gun had the infamous nickname "Chicago Violin" because at the earliest, there were no restrictions on the sales of Thompson submachine guns in the United States.
As long as anyone spends money, it can be delivered to their doorstep by train express.
As a result, many gangsters bought them and used them in gang fights, robberies, and even open confrontations with the police. For a time, news of murders and robberies related to the gun filled the headlines of major media in the United States, because this submachine gun removed the wooden stock.
After playing the drum with it, it could be easily hidden in a violin case, so gangsters dubbed it the "Chicago violin" (Chicago was the area with the most rampant gang activity in the United States at that time.)
Due to the powerful firepower of the Thompson submachine gun, the police were once suppressed. In the end, the police had to learn from their opponents and ordered Thompson submachine guns to arm themselves in order to suppress the rampant criminals with firepower.
Xu Rui knew about this weapon, so he asked the US military to provide one thousand Thompson submachine guns to arm his troops.
As for the sniper rifles, Xu Rui asked the US military to provide 300 M1903A (Springfield) sniper rifles. This sniper rifle uses a shotgun-type stock, a Redfield small scope mount and a 2.5x Weaver 330C scope on the receiver.
The power of this gun is good, and the most important thing is its reliability. It is a weapon just developed by the United States. Most American soldiers are not familiar with it, so the US military was surprised when Xu Rui proposed to provide this kind of firearm, thinking that its own R&D and production department
The secret was revealed.
However, the Americans agreed to Xu Rui's request and provided 300 Springfield sniper rifles to Xu Rui's department.
At the same time, Xu Rui's troops are also equipped with a large number of M1911 pistols. This kind of pistols has flowed into China as early as the warlord melee. Later, as a military aid to China from the United States, some also flowed in. The performance is very reliable and the magazine can be used.
It can fire seven bullets and is quite powerful. Xu Rui requires his troops to be equipped with an M1911. In Xu Rui's vision, these M1911 pistols will play a huge role in his tactical system.
In addition to these light weapons, the Americans also equipped Xu Rui's troops with a large number of Zubacca rocket launchers and flamethrowers. Everyone has training uniforms and combat uniforms, steel helmets, and American military boots on their feet.
As for heavy weapons, the Americans equipped Xu Rui's regiment with thirty Sherman main battle tanks and seventy armored vehicles. As a result, Xu Rui's first battalion was directly transformed into an armored battalion, except for the armored battalion.
In addition, the Americans also gave Xu Rui 75mm infantry cannons, 80mm caliber mortars, anti-aircraft machine guns, M1919A4 heavy machine guns, and a large number of walkie-talkies. It can be said that Xu Rui's troops are now armed to the teeth.
These equipment have reached the A-level level of infantry in developed countries and are typical light infantry regiments.
With these weapons, Xu Rui reorganized the troops. The first battalion was directly converted into an armored battalion. The second and third battalions were still traditional rifle battalions, but equipped with a large number of Thompson rifles. Xu Rui also changed the battalion from the third battalion to an armored battalion.
Part of the troops from each battalion were used to establish an artillery company and a guard company directly under the regiment headquarters. In addition, the Americans also equipped Xu Rui's troops with many auxiliary units, such as training medical soldiers for each company and establishing small field units.
Hospitals, specialized logistics support companies, and of course, these units that do not need to risk their lives are all provided by Americans. As a result, the strength of the new regiment suddenly expanded to nearly 4,000 people.
In order to cover their ears and save the face of the Americans, the Americans changed the designation of Xu Rui's new anti-alliance regiment to the Third Independent Infantry Regiment. All soldiers and officers, including Lang Ya, had to accept the command of the US military.
Retrain.
It was at this time that Xu Rui saw other Chinese troops coming to Honolulu. Due to the request of the Americans, Chairman Chiang sent his direct descendants, the New Sixth Army, known as the Royal Guards. The New Sixth Army was stationed in Lamb, India.
Ga transferred directly to Honolulu and received training from the Americans with the Third Infantry Regiment.
In fact, the Americans originally asked Sun Liren's New First Army to join the Pacific battlefield. However, Chairman Chiang believed that Sun Liren of the New First Army was too close to the Americans and was not reliable. They were far away overseas for fear of any confrontation.
Something unfavorable happened to him, so Chairman Chiang sent another New Sixth Army to Hawaii. In Chairman Chiang's view, the commander of the New Sixth Army, Liao Yaoxiang, had extremely high loyalty to him. By sending him out, he was completely
You can rest assured.
At this time, the soldiers of the Third Regiment and the soldiers of the New Sixth Army came to a training ground in Hawaii to receive training from the US military. When the soldiers of the Third Regiment saw the soldiers of the New Sixth Army, both sides looked unhappy.
Especially those veterans who had participated in the anti-Japanese war since the Dameishan base area were very unhappy when they saw that the New Sixth Army and themselves were in the same camp.
The soldiers of the New Sixth Army were also very uncomfortable with the soldiers of the Third Regiment fighting with them. Many people whispered that there was nothing that could be done about it. In the ten-year war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, both sides had left a lot of accumulation.
resentment.
The Dameishan Base Area was overthrown by the Nationalist Government and the Japanese and puppet troops together. What's more, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the country is not harmonious and the general environment is not very good. Therefore, soldiers from both sides are somewhat hostile to each other.
And this emotion was reflected in the training. The soldiers on both sides were holding back their anger and wanted to overwhelm the other during the training. There were even some physical conflicts between the two sides. In the end, the American instructors had no choice but to separate the two sides for separate training.
, to avoid escalation of conflicts.
On the shooting range of the training base, American instructors repeatedly emphasized the shooting posture and asked the Chinese soldiers to correct their shooting movements according to their own movements.
"I said instructor, your movements are wrong." Zhuan Shanbao yawned and said with squinted eyes.
"What? You dare to question my shooting action?" The American instructor was angry.
Zhuanshan Leopard chuckled and said, "Instructor, if you don't believe it, we can have a shooting competition."
"Are you going to challenge me? Okay, I accept your challenge." The American instructor said without hesitation. This American shooting instructor is the three-time U.S. military shooting champion in a row and has sufficient confidence in his shooting skills.
Zhuanshan Leopard slowly came to the instructor and said: "In this way, we will take apart all the firearms, then assemble the guns in the shortest time and shoot at the target in front. Whoever hits the bullseye first will win.
how?"
"Very well, Chinese, I accept your challenge."
The instructor and Zhuan Shanbao immediately took apart the Springfield rifles in their hands and placed them on a table. Zhuan Shanbao grinned and took out a black cloth to cover his eyes.
Seeing this, all the American instructors were stunned, and then began to whisper. In their opinion, the Diamond Mountain Leopard was too ambitious and the defeat was certain.
"Three, two, one, start!"
As a U.S. military officer shouted, the two people quickly installed the firearm. The American instructor had just finished setting it up when he heard a gunshot. The instructor looked up and saw that Zhuanshan Leopard had assembled the firearm.
The gun hit the bullseye.
Seeing this scene, not only the instructor, but also all the Americans around him exploded.
"God, is this true? Did I see it wrong?" an American shouted.
"This is impossible, how did this guy do it?" Another American instructor also had dilated pupils and kept rubbing his eyes.
The Langyas on the side all pursed their lips and smiled. Basically, Langya's team members could do the same action as the leopard crawling through the mountain. Seeing the Americans' jaws dropped, each of these Langyas felt happy.
"Damn it, you're still our instructor just now?" Han Feng curled his lips.
"Haha, the Americans have made a fool of themselves this time," said Donkey.
The American instructor felt a fever on his face and said to Zhuan Shanbao: "I admire you very much. You are the most outstanding soldier in China and the most outstanding soldier I have ever seen."
Zhuanshan Leopard chuckled and said, "Everyone of us at Langya can do this."
"What did you say?" The American instructor couldn't believe his ears and thought that Zhuanshan Leopard was bragging. He thought that it was impossible for too many people to master such a miraculous stunt. The Chinese really love to brag.
Zhuanshan Leopard winked at the donkey, who lazily walked out and said, "I'll give it a try too!"
At this moment, everyone fell silent and looked straight at Bing Donkey. Bing Donkey disassembled the gun and placed it on the table, then covered his eyes with a black cloth and said, "Let's get started."
"Start!" an American officer yelled.
Calling the donkey quickly installed the Springfield rifle, which took less than fifteen seconds in total, and then raised his hand to the front and fired.
"Snapped!"
Asking the donkey to take off the black cloth from his eyes, he saw that the shot hit the bullseye. Now the Americans were really dumbfounded. God, the Chinese are so damn powerful!
