342 Mountain Warfare Division

As soon as the weapons investigation was over, Lin Yuan made solemn representations to the Russian Embassy, expressing the strongest protest against the brazen provocation of the Russian army! And instruct the Russian side to investigate the causes of the provocation and ensure that such incidents will never happen in the future!

The Russian ambassador is so angry in his heart, you have taken advantage of the conflict, our troops have lost nearly a thousand men, and more than 1,000 soldiers who have fled back have been wounded, and you have made it as if you have suffered a great loss!

This Russian military operation was not a whim of a certain commander, but a tentative attack launched from above! Since the time of Peter the Great, Russia's national strategy has been to acquire more land and access to the sea, and some historians have commented that the Russian people's search for land is like a man's lower body looking for a warm cave.

After successively occupying the Chinese territory east of the Ussuri River in the Great Khing'an Mountains, Northeast China became the target of the Russians, especially the new Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, who was only twenty-six years old at this time, was young and vigorous, and wanted to make a great career, after the invasion of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, he was full of ambition, thinking that his merits were comparable to that of Peter the Great, and he even went to a professor of history at Moscow University to ask him what he would say in history.

But as soon as his good dream began, Lin Yuan led the troops to wake him up, not only woke him up, but also threw him out of the bedroom with the bed! In less than two months, Lin Yuan's troops drove his troops out of the vast Northeast Plain, leaving only a few hills.

Nicholas II has always been trying to get rid of the shame, and nearly 150,000 people have been assembled in the four strategic directions of Khabarovsk, Blagoveshchensk, Vladivostok, and Nerchensk, ready to "regain lost territory" at any time.

This attack on Lahassusu was just a temptation, and the Russian side did not want to expand the situation of the war, but lied that the Russian army was attacked by the Chinese army, and was forced to counterattack!

So the two sides accused each other diplomatically, and Lin Yuan recalled Chen Fei from Beijing to Mukden. As soon as Chen Fei saw Lin Yuan, he asked: "What are you going to do when you brought me to the capital, I haven't done anything useful in the capital these days, just playing with Gao Yu." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "How is Gao Yu playing in the capital?" ”

Chen Fei said with a smile: "That time I brought her to your Wanqing, I don't know what Lu Dao is, she is actually interested in those books, so Tianyin reads in the house, and I have become a scholar." ”

Lin Yuan said: "I originally took you back to Beijing to let you play some role, but then I didn't use you, so you have been idle, but this time, you are going to be very busy." ”

Chen Fei said: "When I was in Beijing, I didn't gain anything, for example, I saw an acquaintance there in that Toushanman. ”

Lin Yuan was taken aback and asked, "What acquaintance?" ”

Chen Fei said: "She is a Japanese woman, and when I was caught by the Japanese, she interrogated me. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "It's good, when we finish beating the Russians, let's take a good look at this mountain!" ”

Chen Fei asked, "What do you want me to do this time?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "It's time for us to give the Russians some powerful looks, I want you to form a mountain combat division!" ”

Chen Fei smiled helplessly: "Don't be kidding, can we fight the Russians now?" The Russians now have 150,000 troops, and they are still growing, should we use only one mountain division against them? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "I recruited four troops, don't you know what to do?" ”

Chen Fei said: "When I was in Beijing, I heard that the four troops you recruited were not just militiamen guarding the local area. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Those are deceiving outsiders, the training of these four units is the same as when we trained the first brigade, as long as there is a need, these four troops will be immediately upgraded to infantry divisions." ”

Lin Yuan continued: "The numbers of these four units are the second division to the fifth division, each division has a full strength of 10,000 people, and the first brigade we originally trained is now renamed the independent first brigade, and the Dingwu army is renamed the independent second brigade. Chen Fei said: "The mountain warfare division has high requirements for soldiers, and I have to draw elites from these troops. ”

Lin Yuan said: "That's natural, you don't want to transfer too many people, mountain warfare, it's important to be fine but not too much, you first form a regiment, about a thousand people, and the rest of the formation, wait until later to replenish." Chen Fei said: "How to solve the equipment problem?" ”

Lin Yuan said, "You can come and take a look with me." With that, he led Chen Fei to a warehouse in the industrial zone, opened the warehouse, and the smell of gun oil wafted out.

Lin Yuan opened a long wooden box, pointed inside, and said, "Look at it, are you familiar with it?" Chen Fei's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Isn't this a Type 03 class light machine gun?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Not exactly, it is made by us according to the Type 03 class with light machine guns, after such a long period of development, we can manufacture them ourselves, the parts of the gun body are made by stamping as much as possible, rivet connection, this manufacturing connection process is much faster than turning and milling, and we have also fully implemented the assembly line manufacturing process in Tianjin Machinery Bureau, Jilin Machinery Bureau, and Industrial Zone Arsenal, so the manufacturing speed is very fast, and the first batch of light machine guns are given priority to your mountain division." ”

Chen Fei said: "I seem to have thought of something, the Type 03 light machine gun is a member of the Type 03 gun family, since you can make this kind of gun, can't you make Type 03 rifles?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "You guessed it, yes, our first batch of Type 03 rifles has been built, and they were first equipped with the 1st Independent Brigade and the 2nd Independent Brigade." ”

Chen Fei asked, "This gun doesn't have a name yet, right?" Isn't it time for a mighty and domineering name? Lin Yuan smiled and picked up a piece of paper from the table in the warehouse and said, "Look at this." ”

Chen Fei picked it up, looked at the words on it, and said in surprise: "The national military supply standard, GJB-1895-0001, the army light weapons naming standard, you actually got this out." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Of course, now that we have our own territory, we must adhere to the regularization of the construction of the army, how can we casually name the weapon, according to the norms, firearms and weapons take the capital letters of Chinese characters and pinyin, and then add the year of finalization, so this type of light machine gun should be called QJQ95 light machine gun." ”

Chen Fei said helplessly: "I have convinced you, look at you, how can you have the charm of a traverser!" ”

Lin Yuan said again: "We also want to make a 40mm bazooka to be distributed to you." ”

Chen Fei said: "That's great, plus mortars, direct and curved firepower are available!" I'm going to select soldiers! ”

When Lin Yuan recruited soldiers, he had already taken into account that a mountain division would be formed in the future, so he specially recruited many mountain people, many of whom were hunters who had been hunting in the mountains for many years.

So Chen Fei quickly gathered the personnel and began to train, the biggest special training of the mountain infantry is rock climbing, rock climbing requires a lot of special equipment, such as pitons, when climbing, chisel it into the mountain, to provide a fulcrum for the soldiers to climb, which requires high hardness of low carbon steel, fortunately Liu Jinqiu has mastered the advanced heat treatment process, otherwise the pitons can not be made at all.

Chen Fei didn't expect that the little mountaineering boots would bring him trouble.
