Chapter 16: Dismount (2)
"Shooting, throwing grenades, and marching quickly are the three major items of infantry training, so let's try these three items today." Tang Cheng pondered for a while and decided on the content of the competition. These three items are the most basic contents of infantry training, whether they are newly recruited into the garrison regiment or those who have been defeated, they should be familiar with it. "Whoever you are, if you outdo the people I have brought in one of them, the oceans will be yours." Tang Cheng looked around at the soldiers on the opposite side, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
Shooting to the sunspot, although his short gun is good, but the accuracy of the rifle shooting is not sure, the nine-pound grenade thrown in the Mengcheng garrison is invincible, these guys who don't stand and sit together shouldn't be the opponent of the nine-pound, but the last item of the rapid march is a trouble. If it weren't for the injuries on his body, the three bandits under Kuroko would all be good at marching quickly, but now Tang Cheng is not sure.
"Company Commander Tang, why don't you let me try." Xu saw the problem Tang Cheng was facing, and Niu Laogui, who had not spoken all this time, leaned up and whispered. "I was originally from the Sichuan Army, and I have been running in the mountains since I was a child, just a rapid march, and none of these guys can win me." Looking at Niu Lao Gui Xiyi's eyes, Tang Cheng groaned for a while and nodded in agreement. Although Liu Shishi didn't have much money, Tang Cheng didn't care about the dozen or so oceans he took out, not to mention that Niu Laogui was still a member of the Sichuan army, and when he went to Sichuan later, this was an excellent guide candidate.
Tang Cheng's conditions have been opened, and under the cold eyes of Adjutant Huang, the extremely lazy garrison soldiers were divided into three piles, and the posture should be a group of people to compete. "Go to the individual, count 140 steps to insert the target." It is impossible for the garrison regiment to have a shooting range in the extremely simple barracks, Tang Cheng estimated that the distance of 140 steps can be about 80 meters, such a distance is nothing for the sunspots, but it is a great challenge to these soldiers of the garrison regiment who are blindly coaxing.
"Who can fight so far away" "yes, yes. "In the noise of the soldiers of the garrison regiment around, Heizi, who received Tang Cheng's hint, took the Mauser rifle from Liu Shishi's hand, and lay on the ground to push the bullet and snap a shot." The black clay pot placed 140 steps away shattered in response, and the gangster did not look like a soldier in a military uniform, and the soldiers of the garrison regiment who gathered together to make a coax were not optimistic about the sunspot, and no one thought that this inconspicuous boy would have such good marksmanship.
Looking at the black crockpot that had been shattered from afar, the soldiers of the garrison regiment with their mouths wide open slowly retreated, and it was simply humiliating to test their marksmanship with such a person. "Didn't anyone come up to compete? Well, let's move on to the next one, whoever can throw the grenade 60 meters away, these oceans will belong to him. After looking around, Tang Cheng, who was smiling, was ready to compete in the next competition. Nine catties are in the trench of the Beishan checkpoint, but they have thrown a distance of almost 70 meters, and now there is room to run, Tang Cheng doesn't believe that anyone can win more than nine catties.
"I'm coming" squeezed out a guy about the same size as Lao Dongbei in the crowd, Tang Cheng recognized him, it was the guy who was lying on his back on the weeds and preparing to sleep before, looking at his height and long arms, he seemed to be a capable person. "You come first" took the grenade handed by Liu Shishi and tossed it twice in his hand, and the guy wearing a military hat crooked motioned for the nine catties with a calm face to throw it first. Jiujin is not ambiguous, a stride forward and a few steps forward waved his arm to throw the grenade out, Tang Cheng, who was very confident in Jiujin, didn't look up at all, just struck a match and lit a cigarette by himself.
The grenade that was staring at everyone was thrown high by Jiujin, and then the grenade thrown high made an arc and fell down, falling to the ground under the gaze of everyone. The soldiers of the garrison regiment who were ready to taunt the nine pounds closed their mouths in unison, and the location where the grenade fell was not far from the broken black crockpot, and the distance would definitely not exceed 60 meters. "Wait a minute, what's the hurry, I haven't thrown it yet." Liu Shishi, who thought he was winning, was going to pick up the grenade thrown out by Jiujin, but was stopped by the guy wearing a military hat crookedly.
Not only Liu Shi and the soldiers of the garrison regiment, but even Tang Cheng, who was smoking, looked at this guy who was about to throw a grenade with some surprise, although this guy had a good body with a height and arm length, but everyone here didn't think he could win over nine catties. "Hey" shouted, crooked his hat and waved his arm, and the grenade in his hand came out of his hand, Tang Cheng just glanced at it and lowered his head, he had already seen that this guy's grenade would not be farther than nine catties.
Sure enough, the grenade, which had been pinned on by many soldiers of the garrison, arced and fell to the ground, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was indeed not as far as the previous grenade. "What's wrong? Are you scared or are you scared? You are already soldiers when you wear this military uniform, but just a small competition has made you into this virtue, if you really match the Japanese army, you may not know how many people will be greedy for life and afraid of death among you. Tang Cheng, who had a cigarette in his hand, tried his best to sarcastically mock the soldiers of the garrison who did not dare to look at him.
"There is one last competition, that is, a rapid march, I won't shoot others, Niu Laogui is the person you read when you read people, just use him to represent me, as long as you can outrun him, you take these oceans." The soldiers of the garrison regiment who retreated together found that Niu Laogui was already standing behind Tang Cheng in full armor at some point, "A rifle, 150 rounds of ammunition, 4 grenades and a pot of water, this is the necessary equipment for your rapid march, just run around the courtyard of your barracks 20 times." ”
The courtyard of the barracks of the Mengcheng garrison regiment looks like it can be 300 meters in circumference, and it is at least more than 5 kilometers after 20 laps. Tang Cheng also asked Niu Laogui before determining this distance, and after getting a definite answer from Niu Laogui, Tang Cheng set the number at 20 circles.
The soldiers of the garrison originally thought that Tang Cheng would send Jiujin or Lao Dongbei, two strong guys, to compete in a rapid march, but they didn't expect Tang Cheng to send Niu Laogui, a guy whose hair was about to turn gray, and now they had the confidence to win, and they all shouted and ran to the water tank to fill their kettle. The 210 men of the garrison regiment, without exception, all carried their rifles and hung water bottles with Niu Laogui, and this seemed to be the momentum of participating in the rapid march.
Tang Cheng didn't feel surprised, Niu Laogui looked like he couldn't do it, and if it was Tang Cheng himself, he wouldn't sit idly by and not take advantage of it. "Let's start" was just a faint sentence, Niu Laogui, who had a rifle on his shoulder and a gun belt on his shoulder, was the first to run, and the soldiers of the garrison regiment who were crowded together also ran along, and several arrogant guys rushed to the front first.
"Company Commander Tang, can Niu Laogui do it?" Adjutant Huang, who was standing aside and watching the excitement, came over, and wanted to give Tang Cheng a dismount, but he didn't expect that this young man had a lot of people under him, and he cleaned up these guys who didn't accept anyone in just a few clicks. Adjutant Huang, who was born as a housekeeper, planned to go back immediately and report it to his master, but when he saw Tang Cheng's confident look, he couldn't help but come over and ask.
"Squad Leader Niu is a member of the original Sichuan Army, who has grown up in the mountains since he was a child, and it is only a 5-kilometer rapid march, I think he should be able to do it." Tang Cheng knew that this Adjutant Huang was the butler of the head of the Huang regiment, and he also decided that he was here to talk to him, but Tang Cheng did not mean to beware of him. It's not that he's perfunctory about this adjutant who looks like he can never straighten his waist, but because Tang's attention is all focused on these soldiers of the garrison regiment who are conducting a rapid marching competition, and it can be seen that these guys' physical qualities are not bad, they have already run 6 laps, and no one has shown fatigue.
The rapid march of the competition was not that Tang Cheng had to imitate Liu Goat's training requirements, but that he wanted to observe how these guys' bodies were, their marksmanship could be poor, and grenades could not be thrown far enough and not accurately, but their bodies must be good, at least they would not drag their feet when they needed to transfer troops. When it was 10 laps, there were already people whose speed had slowed down, and at 14 laps, Niu Laogui began to run in front, and the guys who had been on a rampage were pulled far behind by Niu Laogui.
"Smack" The shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand rang out, and the guys who fell at the end who were about to run ran forward like rabbits, "Keep running and don't stop, the gun in my hand doesn't know you." "The bullets that grazed their bodies and shot diagonally into the dirt frightened those who couldn't run, and the guys who were panting and pale were forced to continue running in circles by the gun in Tang Cheng's hand until they couldn't run anymore." Look at your appearance, just a simple rapid march will tire you like this, if the Japanese army really comes, even if you are allowed to run as you please, I am afraid you will not be able to escape the guns and bullets of the Japanese army. ”
Even though he couldn't run past Niu Laogui, the panting soldiers of the garrison regiment were lying on their backs in the open space, Liu Shishi proudly picked up the ocean that Tang Cheng was still on the ground in front of them and put it in his pocket, and did not forget to throw a provocative look at those panting guys. "The garrison regiment is not a militia regiment, the garrison regiment is going to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese army, like you, I advise you to take off this military uniform and go home to pick up your children."
The tired soldiers of the garrison glared angrily at Tang Cheng, who was sneering at them, but Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to them at all, but turned to look at Adjutant Huang. "Adjutant Huang, I think you should go back and tell Commander Huang, these people can get out, they are not material for war, you better persuade Commander Huang to recruit additional people, don't waste time on these wastes." I wanted to give Tang Cheng a dismount, but I didn't think about it, but Tang Cheng backhanded him a slap on Ma Wei, and Adjutant Huang could already think of his master smashing the tea bowl.
