Although Zhou Wen worked day and night, he gained a lot of satisfaction. These brothers of his were really hard-working and practiced hard, and they also understood his own urgency. From Gao Xiaoshan and Miaohua to every team member.
, no one is dissatisfied with their performance, every order is executed and completed to the letter.
They are all the most ideal soldiers, Zhou Wen admired in his heart. If they can be trained in this battle, Zhou Wen believes that with the same number of people, there will be no rival in the world.
When people are busy, time always flies by, and April has entered in the blink of an eye. On this day, the rapid sound of horse hooves from the messengers from Xuchang broke the tranquility of Dawangzhuang.
At the regiment headquarters, the officers below Wang Huzi listened to the order issued by Zhou Wennian: "This is to order: The original 24th Division garrisoned around Xuchang will recruit all the officers and soldiers of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments. From now on, it will be included in the Second Front Army of the Republic of China Army.
The Sixth Brigade of the Jin Army under the Central Route Army is under control, and its designation is changed to the Sixth Brigade of the Central Route Army to supplement the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments. I hope all units will make preparations for the war. A superior officer will come to your place for review in the near future. This order will take effect immediately.
.The Central Route Army Headquarters of the Second Front Army of the Republic of China Army."
After Zhou Wen finished reading, he exhaled and said: "What is supposed to come will always come, Uncle Beard, let's act according to the established plan. Fortunately, it is the Jin army, let me handle it when the time comes.
All training has been suspended for the past few days to prevent anyone from conducting private visits in disguise. Today, we will all wear old military uniforms and shoes. We will hide all the guns of our transportation team." After saying this, he looked at everyone inquiringly.
, to see if there is anything else to add.
Wang Huzi saw that no one had any suggestions, so he said: "Let's do it like this. Let's check it carefully. There can't be any omissions. We are all veterans. We are good at doing this. Isn't it just acting?"
Everyone went to work on the props for the drama, but Zhou Wen came to Blacksmith Wang's shop. Since returning from Xuchang after buying some hardware tools, Zhou Wen came to the blacksmith shop whenever he had time, firstly to supervise the weaponry he designed.
For the production of shovels, Zhou Wen had long ago commissioned Blacksmith Wang to make 50 ordnance shovels. The materials selected were all good iron materials. Although they were not comparable to those of later generations, they could still be used. Secondly, they used existing tools and waste materials.
Gun barrel, make a simple gun for big eyes.
Making a gun is a delicate job, and it takes a lot of time just to carve the threads on the barrel. Ten were made in total, and only four were usable. I came here today to check and pay for the ordnance shovel, and then put myself
Tools and scraps were taken away.
The technology of making rifles was learned from an old craftsman in a village when Zhou Wen was in Syria in his previous life. He used a few scrap gun barrels to hand-make AK47 rifles with simple tools, and the effect was actually not bad.
, but it cannot be fired continuously.
After Zhou Wen's big-eye shooter was equipped with a homemade gun, he tried several shots. The effective range could only reach 30 meters, and it would be inaccurate any further. But 30 meters was enough for Zhou Wen, and the silencer effect was also unsatisfactory.
You can still hear it within 10 meters, but it's just not like gunshots. Zhou Wen planned to use two weapons for himself and Zhang Xiaoping, and two as backup.
While Zhou Wen and the others were preparing intensively, Zhao Changshu, commander of the 6th Brigade of the Jin Army who had just arrived in Linying County, was listening to the report of his staff at the temporary brigade headquarters: "The humble leader led people to observe in disguise for three days, and added that the first and second regiments also
It's better, there are nearly a thousand men and horses, but there are few guns and no cannons.
The three supplementary regiments are much worse. I saw that they are all old and young, and there are not many strong ones. There are no more than 400 people. Brothers also went to inquire around and heard that they were all recruited in the past.
The old bandits and their nephews and nephews who followed them into the army and made a living have never fought any battles.
When we went there, they didn’t have any sentry posts, and they were all sitting on the river beach basking in the sun and chatting. It seems that they are just people who are just waiting to die, and they are not of much use. "
Zhao Changshu is a graduate of the last batch of Baoding Military Academy, that is, the ninth batch. He has an authentic academic background. He has been promoted from platoon commander to brigade commander in less than ten years in the army. He has a brave fighting style and takes the lead in every battle, winning the trust of his subordinates.
support.
He often fought with the enemy until the battle became intense, so he would lead the charge on his white horse. When the whole army saw the white horse, they would be inspired and fight bravely to take the lead. They would often defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. In the Jin army, he became known as Zhao Changshu, the white horse.
.
White Horse General Zhao Changshu looked down upon the motley army with loose military discipline, incompetence in fighting, and top-notch escapees. Not to mention a group of old and young bandits.
Frowning, he said: "I will personally review this bandit supplementary regiment tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I will disband it on the spot. Ask the security company to follow me."
"yes."
The next day, Wang Huzi, who received the order from the messenger, led nearly 400 people in the regiment early in the morning and lined up at the entrance of the village to welcome Shangguan for review.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, I saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and more than a hundred horses were galloping towards me. At the head was a tall white horse, and an officer in his thirties. He was in a gray-blue woolen military uniform, with a collar badge bearing the rank of major general.
, with a command knife slung under his armed belt and long riding boots on his feet, he was majestic and heroic. Zhou Wen looked at him and secretly praised: "What a white horse general."
Zhao Changshu rode his Pegasus to the entrance of the village, reined in the reins, raised his right hand, and all the more than a hundred riders behind him slowed down and lined up neatly behind him. Everyone was wearing full body armor, holding a Jin-made Thomson gun, and looked at him murderously.
come over.
The veterans of the supplementary regiment were all trembling and did not dare to look at each other. The members of the transport team were even afraid of this, but they all followed Zhou Wen's previous order and lowered their heads as if they were scared.
Zhou Wen stared at the Jin-made Thomson in the hands of those soldiers and watched carefully. This Jin-made Thomson made some improvements based on the American M-1921 Thompson gun. The barrel was specially lengthened, and it was almost the same as an ordinary gun.
Twice the barrel length, the effective range is up to 300 meters.
It's just that the quality of this barrel is still a bit different from that made in the United States. If it is fired continuously, the barrel will overheat and be easily damaged, so it is generally only equipped with a 20-round magazine.
To be honest, this Jin-made Thompson is a good gun. It is very suitable for the Chinese army, but it is not suitable for the transportation team. The transportation team requires intensive firepower and strong instantaneous explosive power, so the original product with a 100-round drum magazine is Zhou Wen
's favorite.
When Zhao Changshu reined in his horse, Wang Huzi had already stepped forward to greet him and saluted him and reported: "Reporting to the commander, the additional 398 members of the third regiment, starting from the commander Wang Huzi and below, have arrived. Please give instructions, sir."
Zhao Changshu looked at this little old man-like captain with a slovenly beard, wearing a dirty officer's uniform without a collar, his long leather shoes stained with mud, and a charming smile on his face. He returned the salute casually, feeling no trace of contempt in his heart.
