Chapter 187: Is This About to Fight?

Although because of the accident, Ji Yanxue's episode of going straight to show his heart scared Master Liu into chaos and fled, resulting in the explanation of anti-slope tunnel tactics ending in vain, Liu Lang still achieved his goal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since then, whenever an independent regiment has built field fortifications, from commanders to soldiers, they have done their best, often strengthening a few points above the strict standards.

It was really Liu Lang's order to bombard himself today. If Tuanza goes crazy again that day, and dies under his own cannonballs before he wastes the enemy's shells, it will really make the king of Hades cry twice, it is too unjust.

The newly established artillery company did not disappoint Liu Lang, although Zhao Ergou's mouth was a little stinky, but the artillery fighting skills of those ten years were not given in vain, with him as a sharpshooter, as long as he was given enough training shells, and then trained a few artillery masters.

Liu Lang already imagined that on the Great Wall half a year later, the blood of the Japanese invaders could stain the entire mountain peak.

However, these are really nothing compared to the change in attitude of the other person.

Huang Jiqing, who had suffered dozens of shells from his own family, didn't know if he was stunned, and he no longer insisted on his original intention. Although it was still necessary to report to the Geological Survey, the proven iron ore reserves were reduced to one-twentieth, and a large iron ore mine was instantly turned into a small iron mine.

Liu Lang is naturally overjoyed, this is simple to change from large to small values, but its meaning is completely different. Although China's geological exploration started late, and there are not many mineral deposits explored, it is not to say that there are no small iron ore mines, as long as they pay high taxes to the government or provide a certain amount of ore, private mining is not unavoidable, such as the small iron ore mined by Liu Lang's family. It is in the interest of the central government that the government only cares about large mineral deposits, and they simply have no energy to look at a place that is not worth their attention.

In other words, Huang Jiqing's dispensable report is basically the same as not reporting, and it is even better than concealing it, even if the above knows that the independent regiment mines iron ore and builds its own steel mill to make guns and bullets, as long as it gives enough benefits, no one will take this seriously. To help the central government reduce the burden, he must be a capable person.

Moreover, Huang Jiqing not only artificially helped conceal the fact of iron ore production, but was also willing to help the independent regiment to survey the fortress geology of the base under construction within half a month, which was also a sleepy pillow, there are many karst caves in Longmen Mountain, and the geological structure is complex, which adds a lot of difficulty to the project. Huang Jiqing, a geology everyone, took the initiative to send it to the door, does Liu Lang have any reason to be unwilling?

The reason why it was only half a month was that Liu Lang also knew that this man was about to leave for Sweden to study in mid-August, and when he returned from his studies, the Japanese had already begun a full-scale invasion.

Liu Lang didn't ask why Huang Jiqing suddenly changed his mind, and the smart man didn't say anything. Liu Lang has never told anyone that it was a whim for him to take Master Huang to hide in the fortifications to be bombarded, even if Master Huang wakes up and asks Liu Lang in the future, Liu Tuanzuo has never admitted it.

A hot-blooded young man, the scholarly spirit is nothing more than that, and Liu Lang's routine, who has been a person in two lifetimes, must be much deeper than that of the future geologists who have just graduated from school.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner with the Independent Regiment.

Soon, the time entered September, and the boot camp was about to be completed in close to three months.

The base of the independent regiment is located in the mountainous area, and it is hot and humid during the day, but it is still very cool at night, especially since the beginning of autumn, and the cool breeze is very suitable for sleeping, but most of the recruits of the independent regiment still toss and turn and find it difficult to sleep. Tomorrow is the day of the official assessment.

No one wanted to go to the supplementary battalion, and no one wanted to go to the baggage company to be a strong man and a mule and horse, because they all worked hard, except for the hundred people with outstanding personal ability, most of the other recruits did not have a bottom on the assessment they were about to face tomorrow.

Even, many people did not even take off the leggings of military uniforms, just lying in bed to recuperate, if nothing else, there will be an emergency assembly training at three or four o'clock in the morning every day, the recruits have almost been abused to it, even if tomorrow is the last day of the recruit camp, can not be taken lightly.

As most people expected, it was just dawn, that is, at five o'clock in the morning, and the mournful sound of bamboo flutes sounded outside the barracks. The recruits quickly sorted out their quilts and their own clothes, put on the rubber-soled "anti-Japanese shoes" they had been issued in the past two days, and quickly ran to the training ground 100 meters away to assemble according to the positions divided by their own companies.

From the sound of the bamboo flute to the entire recruit camp standing neatly in line, the whole time did not exceed 2 minutes, and Liu Lang, who had been watching the watch timekeeping, nodded with satisfaction. This is not much worse than the standard time of the future Republic Army's lightly armed emergency assembly time.

However, the recruits who stood up were a little dazed, and today, it seems to be different from the past!

Standing in front of them were almost all the high-ranking officers of the Independent Regiment, and all the officers and lieutenants, including the Fat Regiment Seat, were fully armed, with steel helmets on their heads, and wore the somewhat strange training uniforms of Hua Buqiu, which had only recently been issued, and armed belts with pistols and magazines inserted into them.

Of course, that's not all, they also have in front of them neatly placed the Maxim heavy machine gun and the Czech-made light machine gun that they are already familiar with, these weapons that can instantly erupt and break people into two tongues of fire are no strangers to them, almost everyone has used these two light and heavy machine guns to shoot more than 200 rounds, a full 200,000 rounds of ammunition, it is said that Major Liang, who is in charge of logistics, has not slept for several nights in distress.

Although there were only one or two hundred soldiers qualified to become machine gunners, the feeling of being able to shoot a target a few hundred meters away with a single pull of the trigger was really cool, and the recruits were very satisfied that they could have such a firearm.

The barrels of the light and heavy machine guns that could not be counted by a few hands glowed coldly in the faint sky, reflecting the cold faces of the company commanders who were heavily armed recruits on the side.

The recruits chuckled in their hearts, is this going to war? The veterans in the queue who were the leaders of the recruit squad were all the same, and the order had actually been given to them a long time ago last night, but it was only today that the recruits knew.

Sure enough, when 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 the company commanders, the recruits received their own recruit equipment, a steel helmet, a bullet belt that can hold 200 bullets, a thin cowhide armed belt, a dry food bag, a water bottle, a pole made by Hanyang, a triangular army thorn just developed by the independent regiment, and two grenades.

The recruits were anxious and excited, and they put on their full equipment and stood up again, and now they knew very well that they were indeed going to fight. The subordinates of Major Liang, the logistics officer, not only gave them individual equipment, but also distributed 150 rounds of ammunition each, which was enough for one and a half base bullets, which was enough to support them to fight a large-scale battle.

The next step was the distribution of heavy weapons on a company-by-company basis. Each recruit company was issued with 3 Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns and 9 Czech-made light machine guns, with 800 rounds for each heavy machine gun and 300 rounds for light machine guns. Each company is also assigned one mortar, but it is operated by an artillery team from the regimental artillery company.

Nearly 2,000 new and veteran soldiers from ten companies in full armor stood on the training ground, anxiously awaiting the order for their first military operation since becoming soldiers.
