"Tuanza."

Fang Ligong approached his regiment commander and whispered, "Look at their weapons and equipment. ”

"Hmm."

Chu Yunfei nodded, he naturally noticed this: "All German-made twenty-round repeating barge guns, M24 German-made grenades, and British Bren light machine guns, and they are all top-notch goods. ”

Saying this, he suddenly snorted coldly:

"Hmph."

"It's a pity, it's a little less."

This cavalry is here to meet them, and isn't it a patrol to carry so many weapons and equipment? It's so neatly configured! This is clearly to show off the muscles for the two of them.

But who is Grand Master Hechu? The head of the main regiment of the Jin Sui Army, holding a large regiment comparable to an ordinary division, wants to scare him with this pomp, does he look down on him too much?

"However, in this way, Chief Yan, the tiger general, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get it."

Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes.

Although he didn't know Li Yunlong yet, for this kind of general who could fight, Chu Yunfei really wanted to recruit him to serve the government and avoid fighting on the battlefield in the future.

Thinking of Li Yunlong's achievements, this is not something to look forward to.

"The fact that this person's troops can have such weapons and equipment shows that this Li Yunlong is highly valued, and it may not be easy to persuade him to surrender." Fang Ligong also frowned and said.

It is more difficult to dig people who are valued.

The words spoken between the two were not heard by the cavalry of the independent regiment escorting, firstly, the interval between the two groups was not short, and secondly, the noise between the cavalry was relatively loud, and it was difficult to hear.

"Although I don't know where and from what channels they got the imported weapons and ammunition, the quantity must not be too much, and it is impossible to give them all to Li Yunlong." Chu Yunfei still has confidence.

"What Chief Yan gave, the Eighth Route Army can't afford to give, this matter is nothing more than spending more time."

For digging corners, Chu Yunfei is still confident.

The so-called loyalty is only because the price of betrayal is not enough, and this sentence is only useful for some people.

In the face of national interests and national dignity, no matter how much it costs, he Chu Yunfei can insist, and he also believes that this Li Yunlong, who has always been on the front line, should also be this kind of person.

If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you forget your righteousness for profit, you will not be able to achieve such a record.

However, if it is in the same family, then there are some things that do not need to be insisted on, and the national government, as orthodoxy, is definitely more productive and promising than staying here, and he believes that Li Yunlong will definitely make the right choice in the end.

As the cavalry team approached Yang Village, a patrol of independent regiments approached in the distance.

This is a platoon-level patrol team, with more than 20 people lining up in a neat line to patrol along the edge of Yang Village.

Cavalry and patrols crossed over.

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong looked at the patrol of this platoon at the same time.

It was still the same gray uniform, but unlike the other regiments seen along the way, this patrol was very neatly armed, unified with a new Mauser rifle, each squad was equipped with a Czech, and the platoon commander and squad leader were all 20-round shell guns, with a Kowloon belt pinned to their waists.

"Good standard configuration, but unfortunately there are fewer people."

Chu Yunfei's eyes were slight.

The unified new Mauser rifle, the Czech machine gun that has spread to the squad, the rifle machine gun ammunition is universal, and the 20-round assault barge gun for the platoon-level officer squad of the junior officer squad is comparable to the equipment of the German armor division of the national government.

On the whole, his 358th regiment has not yet had such a luxurious configuration.

But such a few people, some are not enough. Except that he could come up with a battalion of several hundred people with the same equipment, that would surprise him.

"But what does that mean?"

Fang Ligong looked at the distant patrol in confusion.

Although this seems to be just an ordinary patrol, it is clear that this is a patrol team that has been put together to show them, and it is absolutely impossible for the Eighth Route Army to popularize this standard.

Not even a group of 1,000 people.

But since it's for you to see, why are you leaving? Do you really think you're on patrol? Do a full set of plays?

"Let's go."

Glancing at the patrol in the distance, and seeing that Yang Village was already close in front of him, Chu Yunfei replied without emotion, and rode a horse to keep up with the cavalry team and continue to move forward.

It wasn't until he approached the entrance of the village that Chu Yunfei finally saw the person who greeted him this time.

"Head Chu, I am Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, and I came to greet you on behalf of the Independent Regiment."

With the soldiers of the guard platoon, Zhao Gang, who had just prepared logistics supplies for Ding Wei's two battalions, went out of the village to answer and explained: "The regiment commander has gone to arrange emergency work, he will come later, let's go to the regiment headquarters and sit down first." ”

In fact, Li Yunlong went to see Ding Wei off.

Because Ding Wei didn't plan to see the commander of the Chu Grand Regiment, and was in a hurry to run in and train the troops, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang could only arrange the affairs of Ding Wei and the two battalions first, and waited until Chu Yun flew to the door of the house to respond, of course, there were also reasons for the sharp decline in relations between the two armies recently.

In the words of Grand Master Li:

What's in it if you treat them as guests? Give him good food, drink, and serve him well, and then people will put down the bowl and scold his mother, and even try their best to calculate you, wanting to kill you, wishing you were dead.

Such a person is directly hung on the side and pulled. It's easy to get angry and go away, if the superiors scold the labor and management.

"Political Commissar Zhao is polite, in a special period, military affairs come first."

Chu Yunfei smiled in a smiling tone.

For this situation, Head Chu had already prepared.

It is already a miracle that the other party can agree to this exchange group for these things done by the Israeli government.

He dismounted and handed over his military horse to the soldiers of the guard platoon who had come over. During this period, the head of the Chu regiment looked around, starting with Zhao Gang, more than a dozen guards, and the sentries at the entrance of the village, and finally the entire Yang Village.

From the outside, if you ignore those vigilant sentries and soldiers, Yang Village is nothing unusual, just an ordinary, weak and pitiful village, with no military facilities in sight, not even a bunker, a trench, or a machine-gun fortress.

But Chu Yunfei knew that it was not that the other party did not excavate and build, but that it was hidden. If the devils come to attack, then I am afraid that a large number of complete bunker facilities will immediately pop up here.

Seeing a lot, it didn't surprise him.

What really surprised him was that all the soldiers at the entrance of the village, including the guard platoon, were all brand new Mauser rifles. The neat equipment of nearly 100 people made him a little shaken in his judgment just now.

Could it be that this separate regiment is so well equipped?

More than a thousand people were uniformly armed with imported brand new Mauser rifles?

No way!

No way!

"Commissar, then we'll go back to training."

Seeing Chu Yunfei and the two dismounting, the company commander who led the cavalry unit said to Zhao Gang.

"Okay."

Zhao Gang nodded.

The formation time of the cavalry unit is only about half a year, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion are all from novices, and they have never been in contact with cavalry before, which is a bit short, so Sun Desheng has been strengthening training, and trying to pursue actual combat, requiring all soldiers to be fully armed for training.

Seeing the cavalry running towards the training ground on the left, as well as the faintly visible sound of horses' hooves running and shouting in the distance, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong glanced at each other, and they both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

This company commander is talking about returning to the team!

And the voice over there, as it sounds, seems to be more than one company.

Could it be that this separate regiment has a cavalry battalion?

Isn't this deliberately for yourself and others?

Could it be that this independent regiment has really popularized imported elite weapons and equipment?

"Your regiment's cavalry units have been trained very hard, no wonder they have achieved such amazing results."

Chu Yunfei was flattering on the surface, but actually probed and guided the topic.

"The weapons and equipment are not as good as the devils, so we can only strengthen training."

Zhao Gang responded with a smile, and there was a faint hint of Li Yunlong's flavor in his smile, which made the guard platoon leader on the side stunned.

"Political Commissar Zhao said this, and someone Chu raised his hands in approval." Chu Yunfei responded with a straight face: "Since the strength is not comparable to the enemy, then you have to pay more effort and price to defeat the enemy." ”

Subsequently, Chu Yunfei went straight to the topic:

"This time, someone Chu came with the purpose of learning and observing your group."

"Your regiment's record against devils, someone Chu really admires, especially the battle in which Commander Li defeated the Bantian United, which shocked me very much, can you let me take a look at the training of your regiment's cavalry battalion?"

"Of course, no problem, why don't you go and have a cup of tea and rest first? The cavalry battalion has training in the morning and afternoon, and can go and watch it at any time. ”

Zhao Gang looked at Chu Yunfei.

Want to see cavalry battalion training? No problem.

It's not a secret weapon, you don't need to hide it, and if you put it out with dignity, you can also dispel some other thoughts, so as not to have cats and dogs who can't tell how many pounds and taels they have from time to time come out to find a beating.

"Let's go see your regiment's training first."

Chu Yunfei couldn't wait for the cavalry battalion.

The crowd walked to the cavalry battalion training ground.

In the open woods, nearly 100 stake scarecrows were erected, and the cavalry of the independent regiment took the company as a unit, and lined up in turn to sprint against the scarecrows, slash with sabers, and also interspersed with items such as rapid stopping, and immediate shooting.

The battalion commander Sun Desheng rode on horseback, opened his voice loudly, and guided the soldiers to train, without paying the slightest attention to the arrival of the political commissar and others.

More than 300 military horses, this is an integrated cavalry battalion...

Chu Yunfei looked at the twenty-shot Dezao barge gun on the waist of the more than 300 cavalry soldiers, and the magazine full of bullets on the Nine Dragons belt on his waist, although he had vaguely expected it in his heart before, his tone was still full of shock and envy:

"The strength of your regiment is really extraordinary, this cavalry battalion alone can suppress at least two infantry squadrons of devils."

Chu Yunfei's words were completely true.

A standard infantry squadron of the devil is about 160 people, and the two squadrons are just the same as the strength of the cavalry battalion.

In terms of equipment, the cavalry battalion with a 20-round shell gun has an absolute advantage in close combat, but it is inferior in long-range shooting, and the devils also have heavy machine guns and grenadiers, but the nearly 30 Bren machine guns that have spread to the squad can make up for the weakness of long-range firepower to a certain extent, and the mobility of the cavalry can also greatly weaken the long-range shooting of the devils.

If it really fights, the cavalry battalion definitely has a better chance of winning.

This cavalry, he is really envious, although the 358th Regiment is a large regiment, it is not capable of forming such an elite cavalry. There is no problem with military horses, he can still get more than 300 horses, but these more than 300 20-shot barge guns can make him dumbfounded.

Don't talk about him, even his old boss, the biggest old rich man in Shanxi, is enough to choke. In today's situation, you can't buy it even if you have money.

It seems that this Li Yunlong is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with it····· For the first time, Chu Yunfei wavered in his persuasion of Grand Master Li's plan to surrender to the Cheng State Government. With such an elite force, Li Yunlong may not be so willing to leave.

"Hahaha..."

Zhao Gang laughed and accepted this compliment: "If the cavalry is used well, it can determine the outcome of the battlefield, and we also spent a lot of money to form the cavalry unit of this battalion." ”

"By the way, I see that the machine gun equipped by the cavalry battalion of your regiment is the British Bren type, right?"

Chu Yunfei looked at the Bren type on the back of the cavalry battalion, the curved magazine, and the smooth and mirror-like barrel that was completely different from the Czech style was easy to identify.

"Yes."

Zhao Gang nodded.

"The troops patrolled before your regiment seem to be Czech? Why not unify the machine guns? These two types of bullets are not universal. ”

Chu Yunfei was a little puzzled.

As for the parts that can't be universal, Chu Yunfei subconsciously ignored this.

After all, the firearms produced by the National Government Arsenal, because of tolerances and manufacturing processes, have never been able to share parts, even if they are the same model.

Even if it's medium-formal, it's not very good.

"You mean the patrol at the entrance of the village, right?"

Zhao Gang smiled and replied: "The performance of the Czech type is not as good as the Bren type, the main equipment of our regiment is the Bren type, and only the militia supplementary battalion is equipped with the Czech type, and the two machine gun bullets are common, both of which are 7.92 mm Mauser pointed bullets." ”

Militia Supplementary Battalion ···

As soon as this name came out, Chu Yunfei felt outrageous····· The light weapons encountered at the entrance of their village were comparable to the platoon of the German armament division of the national government, and it was not a regular army, but a militia supplementary battalion! That is, in layman's terms, reserve soldiers. After the loss of the main force, those who replenish the troops from here will not directly participate in the battle.

What should the main force look like?

Could it be that each battalion is also equipped with a separate artillery battery?

"The Bren is a British firearm."

Fang Ligong asked suspiciously, and at the same time showed his insight: "I remember that this gun uses a British 0.3-inch bullet, which is a 7.62 mm caliber bullet." ”

"Oh, this one."

Zhao Gang replied: "Our Bren type is custom-made, changed to 7.92 caliber, and the Mauser rifle universal ammunition."

Customize!

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong fell silent at the same time, and they didn't say a word for a long time.

Customize!

And it is a small arms caliber customization.

In that year, the government purchased machine guns from the Czech Arsenal, and the order for 5,000 units was smashed, and not even a single acceptance template and design drawings were received.

So, what kind of conditions are needed for large foreign manufacturers to deliberately customize and change the caliber of weapons?

It's not an easy job.
