"Report to the political commissar," He Guangming said loudly, "This is the intention of all the officers and soldiers of our 1st Battalion. The brothers told me that they no longer want to be spectators, they want to participate in the battle, and they want to fight the Japanese!"
Hearing what He Guangming said, Xu Rui couldn't help but blink at Wang Husheng.
This is one of the reasons why this commendation meeting is held with great fanfare today.
Judging from He Guangming's reaction, it should be said that the expected goal has been basically achieved, and the combat enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion has been completely mobilized.
But on the surface, Xu Rui still has to hold on.
"Okay, the political commissar and I know about this." Xu Rui waved his hand and said impatiently, "You go back first."
He Guangming scratched his bald head and whispered: "That captain, can you give me an accurate answer?"
"Accurate words?" Xu Rui said, "I don't know when the little devil will come again, how can I give you accurate words? Just go back and lead the troops honestly, and wait honestly. When it's your turn to go into battle, I will naturally let you go.
But I’ll tell you the ugly things first, if your 1st Battalion can’t support it then, don’t blame me for calling you a mother.”
He Guangming stood at attention and said, "Don't worry, commander, our 1st Battalion will definitely not have diarrhea."
"Very good, I've written this down." Xu Rui added, "It's getting late, let's go back."
Although He Guangming wanted to say one more thing, our 1st Battalion should be the main attacker in the next battle no matter what, but when he saw that Xu Rui had already turned his face, he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth back into his stomach, turned around and walked away
.
As soon as He Guangming walked away, Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, it seems that the problem of the 1st Battalion has been solved."
"Not necessarily." Xu Rui shook his head and said with a frown, "After all, the 1st Battalion is no better than the 2nd Battalion and the 3rd Battalion. I brought the 2nd Battalion all the way from Wuxi. I have experienced too many tough battles and bad battles, regardless of tactical quality.
, the fighting will and the trust between comrades are impeccable. The 3rd Battalion is a new unit, like a blank piece of paper. It is whatever you draw. It is highly malleable, but the 1st Battalion was formed from the 180th Division.
The character of the troops who have been transferred from the organizational structure has already been formed, but it is not easy to change, so the next step is to transform their thinking."
"I agree with this." Wang Husheng said with deep understanding, "The 180th Division is an old army after all. The 1st Battalion was established from the 180th Division, and it must have retained many old army habits, such as paternalism and hilltopism.
, these old habits that are not conducive to military unity must be completely eliminated."
Xu Rui said: "Fortunately, this matter is not urgent. Let's wait until the counter-sweep is over."
Wang Husheng nodded and was about to get up and leave when he saw Leng Tiefeng walking in with a dark face.
Seeing Leng Tiefeng, Xu Rui immediately revealed a knowing smile and said, "I knew you had to come over to me, veteran."
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
"Nonsense, of course I know." Xu Rui said, "Aren't you just feeling aggrieved because the Siberian tiger, boa constrictor, and soldiers did not come on stage to receive commendations? You want to seek justice for them."
"That's right." Leng Tiefeng said, "I want to seek justice for them."
Wang Husheng said quickly: "Veteran, this is my fault. It was my idea to let Han Feng come on stage to accept the commendation on behalf of the special operations unit. This is also for publicity reasons, because Han Feng is a local of Meizhen, and he was involved in the incident of resisting Hong Jiu.
He has suffered persecution and is somewhat of a celebrity in Damei Mountain, so..."
Leng Tiefeng interrupted: "Hu Zi and the others don't have to go on stage to receive commendations, but it is an indisputable fact that the three of them have higher military exploits than Han Feng. Since Han Feng can be commended, Hu Zi and the three of them cannot do without
He said that the regiment must commend him no matter what, even if he is awarded a few ocean dollars."
"Dayang?" Wang Husheng's face dropped and he said, "This is absolutely not possible. Our team will not be like the old army, and we will definitely not reward gold and yuan."
Leng Tiefeng said: "That's what I said. It doesn't mean that I have to reward Dayang."
"Okay, veteran, don't say any more." Xu Rui smiled, "Since I knew you would come to me, I naturally thought of a reward method. What Lao Wang just said is right, our team
We definitely won’t offer heavy rewards, and we don’t have that much money to offer rewards, but I can still give a prize to the three of them.”
"Giving out prizes?" Leng Tiefeng was stunned for a moment and said blankly, "What prize?"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Then have you asked the three of them what prize they most want to get?"
"I know this." Leng Tiefeng said, "Since last time, Lao Xu, you told the three of them about the power of the German-made G34 general-purpose machine gun, the three of them have dreamed of having a G34 general-purpose machine gun."
"I can't get the G34 general-purpose machine gun made in Germany right now. We don't have overseas channels right now, and we can't import weapons and equipment from overseas for the time being." Xu Rui waved his hand, and then continued, "But I can give each of them a powerful gun.
A light machine gun that is definitely no less powerful than the G34 general-purpose machine gun - the Gatling minigun."
"Gatling gun?" Leng Tiefeng once studied in the United States. Of course he is very familiar with this kind of mass murderer that appeared during the Civil War. When he was at West Point Military Academy, he even test-fired a Gatling gun. He must admit it.
, the firepower density and continuity of the Gatling machine gun are unmatched by other machine guns.
But Xu Rui just said that there are no overseas channels. Where can he get this machine gun?
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng said in confusion: "This is indeed a good gun. I think the soldiers will be very satisfied with it. But if you didn't say you didn't have overseas channels, where would you buy this machine gun?"
"Buy? Who said I want to buy a Gatling gun?"
After Xu Rui finished speaking, he took out a stack of drawings from his drawer.
Leng Tiefeng picked up the top drawing, but it was a mechanically processed final assembly drawing. The product name was clearly a man-portable Gatling machine gun.
"Man-portable Gatling minigun?" Leng Tiefeng was dumbfounded.
"How is it?" Xu Rui said proudly, "Isn't this thing good?"
As a time traveler, the biggest advantage is that you can predict some black technologies in the future. This portable Gatling machine gun is one of them. The most profound impact on the world is probably the one held by the robot played by Schwarzenegger in The Terminator.
That Gatling machine gun, if you think it is a product specially designed for robots, you are wrong. In fact, there is actually a man-portable Gatling rotating gun.
The principle of the Gatling machine gun is not complicated, especially for special forces like Xu Rui who are proficient in firearms. As long as there are corresponding machine gun parts and corresponding tools, it is easy to use a machine gun that imitates the Czech light machine gun.
The parts and barrel can be modified, but a craftsman is needed.
Leng Tiefeng finally came to his senses, frowned and said: "This thing is good, but can we make it in our base?"
"Why can't it be made?" Xu Rui said in amusement, "This is not a high-tech product. As long as there are corresponding machine gun parts and processing tools, of course, there must be a craftsman."
Leng Tiefeng said suddenly, "Isn't that right? We have neither tools nor craftsmen, how can we make it?"
"This is only temporary." Xu Rui said with a smile, "After this counter-mopping operation is over, we will start to solve these problems. Not only do we need to build a small arsenal, we also have to find ways to recruit some weapons experts."
"Arms factory? Weapons expert?" Leng Tiefeng poured a basin of cold water down his pocket, "Just dream."
"Dreaming?" Xu Rui smiled and said without distinguishing from Leng Tiefeng, "How about we make another bet, four months, no, two months, within two months I will definitely destroy the arsenal.
To get it done, it is more difficult to be a weapons expert, but there will eventually be a way. As the saying goes, there are always more ways than difficulties."
"Old Xu, this is what you said." Leng Tiefeng said, "What are you betting on?"
"What are you betting on?" Xu Rui laughed and said, "If you lose, tell me your secret. If I lose, you can make whatever conditions you want, and the leader will accept it."
"I don't care about being a regiment leader. Besides, what's the point of being a regiment leader?" Leng Tiefeng said, "If you lose, take my part-time job as commander of the 3rd Battalion and let me stay at Langya without any distractions."
It’s just a small team.”
"Okay, Lao Wang, please prove it." A sly smile flashed across Xu Rui's lips.
Xu Rui had long suspected that Leng Tiefeng was hiding a secret, and it was a big secret.
Although Leng Tiefeng had already submitted his application for joining the party, his upright personal ethics still kept him tight-lipped and never told the secret. This also shows that this secret is definitely extraordinary, and Xu Rui is particularly good at reasoning.
So I came to a vague inference that this secret most likely involves the whereabouts of a large sum of gold!
It is not difficult to draw such an inference. First, let’s look at Leng Tiefeng’s previous identity. Before going to study in the United States, he was an officer in the Tax Police Corps of the Bank of Eight. What kind of police force is the Tax Police Corps of the Bank of Eight?
The army? It was a private army supported by Song Ziwen with amortization money.
Another, there is a large amount of information showing that before the fall of Shanghai, Song Ziwen ordered the gold retained in the banks of eight countries to be transported out of Shanghai. However, it was bombed by Japanese bombers during the transportation, and then the gold disappeared in an extremely mysterious manner.
After the victory, the gold was not found.
So Xu Rui made a bold assumption that this batch of gold did not fall into the hands of the Japanese, but was hidden in a secret place by the escort troops. Then for the sake of confidentiality, the commander of the escort troops shot everyone, and that
The commander probably also died in the rebellion and did not return to Nanjing smoothly, so this batch of gold disappeared mysteriously.
Leng Tiefeng is likely to be the only survivor. This is the only reason why he did not return to the army after recovering from his injury, but preferred to stay in the temporary 79th Division. In the original history, Leng Tiefeng should also have died in the battle.
Wuxi, so the whereabouts of this batch of gold became an eternal secret, and no one knew it anymore.
