"Report to the political commissar." He Guangming said loudly, "This is the intention of all the officers and soldiers of our 1st Battalion. The brothers are following me. They don't want to be spectators anymore. They want to participate in the battle. They want to fight the Japanese!"
Hearing what He Guangming said, Xu Rui couldn't help but blink at Wang Husheng.
This is one of the reasons why this commendation meeting is held with great fanfare today.
Judging from He Guangming's reaction, the expected goal should have been basically achieved, and the combat enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion has been completely mobilized.
But on the surface, Xu Rui still has to hold on.
"Okay, the political commissar and I know about this." Xu Rui waved his hand and said impatiently, "You go back first."
He Guangming scratched his bald head and said, "Commander, can you give me an accurate answer?"
"Accurate words?" Xu Rui said, "I don't know when the Japanese will come again, so how can I give you accurate words? Just go back and lead the troops honestly, and wait honestly. When it's your turn to go into battle, I will naturally let you go, but I made the ugly talk first, if you 1st Battalion can't support it when the time comes, don't blame me for calling you a mother."
He Guangming stood at attention and said, "Don't worry, commander, our 1st Battalion will definitely not have diarrhea."
"Very good, I've written this down." Xu Rui said again, "It's getting late, let's go back."
Although He Guangming wanted to say one more thing, our 1st Battalion should be the main attacker in the next battle no matter what, but when he saw that Xu Rui had already turned his face, he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth back into his stomach, turned around and walked away .
As soon as He Guangming walked away, Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, it seems that the problem of the 1st Battalion has been solved."
"Not necessarily." Xu Rui shook his head and frowned, "After all, the 1st Battalion is not as good as the Battalion. I brought the Battalion all the way from Wuxi. It has experienced too many tough and vicious battles. Regardless of its tactical literacy and fighting will, There is also impeccable trust between comrades. The battalion is a new unit, like a piece of blank paper. It will be whatever you draw on it. It is highly malleable. However, the 1st Battalion was transferred from the 180th Division. The character of the troops has already been formed, but it is not easy to change, so the next step is to transform their thinking."
"I agree with this." Wang Husheng said with deep understanding, "After all, the 180th Division is an old army. The 1st Battalion was organized from the 180th Division and must have been retained. Many old military habits, such as paternalism and mountaineeringism, are not conducive to military unity and must be completely eliminated."
Xu Rui said: "Fortunately, this matter is not urgent. Let's wait until this counter-sweep is over."
Wang Hu got angry and was about to get up and leave when he saw Leng Tiefeng walking in with a dark face.
Seeing Leng Tiefeng, Xu Rui's lips immediately revealed a knowing smile, "I knew you had to come over to me, veteran."
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
"Nonsense, of course I know." Xu Rui said, "Aren't you just feeling aggrieved because the Siberian tiger, boa constrictor, and soldiers did not come on stage to receive commendations? You want to seek justice for them."
"Yes." Leng Tiefeng said, "I want to seek justice for them."
Wang Husheng said quickly: "Veteran, this is my fault. It was my idea to let Han Feng come on stage to accept the commendation on behalf of the special operations unit. This is also for publicity reasons, because Han Feng is a local of Meizhen, and he was involved in the incident of resisting Hong Jiu. He has suffered persecution and is somewhat of a celebrity in Damei Mountain, so..."
Leng Tiefeng interrupted: "Hu Zi and the others don't have to go on stage to receive commendations, but it is an indisputable fact that the three of them have higher military exploits than Han Feng. Since Han Feng can be commended, Hu Zi and the three of them cannot do without. He said that the group must commend him no matter what, even if he is rewarded with a few ocean dollars."
"Dayang?" Wang Husheng's face dropped, and he said, "This is absolutely not possible. Our army will not be like the old army, and we will definitely not reward gold and yuan."
Leng Tiefeng said: "That's just me. I don't have to reward Dayang."
"Okay, veteran, don't ask for more." Xu Rui smiled, "Since I knew you would come to me, I naturally thought of a reward method. What Lao Wang just said was right, our ** team We definitely won’t offer heavy rewards, and we don’t have that much money to offer rewards, but I can still give a prize to the three of them.”
"Giving prizes?" Leng Tiefeng was stunned for a moment and said blankly, "What prize?"
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Then have you ever asked the three of them what prize they most want to win?"
"I know this." Leng Tiefeng said, "Since last time, Lao Xu, you told the three of them about the power of the German-made mg4 general-purpose machine gun, the three of them have dreamed of having an mg4 general-purpose machine gun."
"I can't get the German-made MG4 general-purpose machine gun now. We have no overseas channels at the moment, and there is no way to import weapons and equipment from overseas." Xu Rui waved his hand, and then continued, "But I can give them each one with absolute power. A light machine gun that is no less powerful than the mg4 general-purpose machine gun—the Gatling minigun."
"Gatling gun?" Leng Tiefeng once studied in the United States. Of course he is very familiar with this kind of mass murderer that appeared during the Civil War. When he was at the Western Military Academy, he even test-fired a Gatling gun. He must admit it. , the firepower density and continuity of the Gatling machine gun are unmatched by other machine guns.
But Xu Rui didn't have overseas channels just now. Where could he get this machine gun
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng said in confusion: "This is indeed a good gun. I think the soldiers will be very satisfied with it, but you didn't have overseas channels just now. Where did you buy this machine gun?"
"Buy? Who do I want to buy a Gatling gun?"
After Xu Rui finished, he took out a stack of drawings from his drawer.
Leng Tiefeng picked up the top drawing, but it was a mechanically processed final assembly drawing. The product name was clearly a man-portable Gatling machine gun.
"Man-portable Gatling minigun?" Leng Tiefeng was dumbfounded.
"How's it going?" Xu Rui said proudly, "Isn't this thing good?"
As a time traveler, the biggest advantage is that you can predict some black technologies in the future. This portable Gatling machine gun is one of them. The most profound impact on the world is probably the one held by the robot played by Schwarzenegger in The Terminator. That Gatling machine gun. If you think it is a product specially designed for robots, you are wrong. In fact, there is actually a man-portable Gatling rotating gun.
The principle of the Gatling machine gun is not complicated, especially for special forces like Xu Rui who are proficient in firearms. As long as there are corresponding machine gun parts and corresponding tools, it is easy to use machine gun parts imitating the Czech light machine gun. And the barrel can be modified, but it requires a craftsman.
Leng Tiefeng finally came to his senses and frowned: "This thing is good, but can we do it in our base?"
"Why can't it be made?" Xu Rui said in amusement, "This is not a high-tech product. As long as there are corresponding machine gun parts and processing tools, of course, there must be a craftsman."
Leng Tiefeng said suddenly, "That's it. We have neither tools nor craftsmen, how can we make it?"
"This is only temporary." Xu Rui said with a smile, "After this counter-mopping operation is over, we will start to solve these problems. Not only do we need to build a large-scale arsenal, but we also have to find ways to recruit some weapons experts."
"Arms factory? Weapons expert?" Leng Tiefeng poured a basin of cold water down his pocket, "Just dream."
"Dreaming?" Xu Rui smiled and said without distinguishing from Leng Tiefeng, "How about we make another bet, four months, no, two months, within two months I will definitely destroy the arsenal." To get it done, it is more difficult to be a weapons expert, but there will be a solution eventually, isn't there a saying, the solution is always more difficult than the difficulty."
"Old Xu, this is yours." Leng Tiefeng said, "What are you betting on?"
"What are you betting on?" Xu Rui chuckled, "If you lose, tell me your secret. If I lose, you can make whatever conditions you want, and the leader will accept it."
"I don't care about being a regiment leader. What's the point of being a regiment leader again?" Leng Tiefeng said, "If you lose, take my part-time job as battalion commander and let me stay in the Spike Team without any distractions." That’s it.”
"Okay, Lao Wang, please prove it." A sly smile flashed across Xu Rui's lips.
Xu Rui had long suspected that Leng Tiefeng was hiding a secret, and it was a big secret.
Although Leng Tiefeng had already submitted his application for joining the party, his upright personal ethics still kept him tight-lipped and never disclosed the secret. This also shows that the secret is definitely extraordinary, and Xu Rui is particularly good at reasoning, so A vague inference was drawn that this secret most likely involves the whereabouts of a large sum of gold!
It is not difficult to draw such an inference. First, let’s look at Leng Tiefeng’s previous identity. Before going to study in the United States, he was an officer in the Tax Police Corps of the Bank of Eight. What kind of force is the Tax Police Corps of the Bank of Eight? troops? It was a private army supported by Song Ziwen with amortization.
Another, there is a large amount of information showing that before the fall of Shanghai, Song Ziwen ordered the gold retained in the banks of eight countries to be transported out of Shanghai. However, it was bombed by Japanese bombers during the transportation, and then the gold disappeared in an extremely mysterious manner. After the victory, the gold was not found.
So Xu Rui made a bold assumption that this batch of gold did not fall into the hands of the Japanese, but was hidden in a secret place by the escort team. Then for the sake of confidentiality, the leader of the escort team shot everyone, and that The commander probably also died in the rebellion and did not return to Nanjing smoothly, so this batch of gold disappeared mysteriously.
Leng Tiefeng is likely to be the only survivor. This is the only reason why he did not return to the army after recovering from his injury, but preferred to stay in the temporary 79th Division. In the original history, Leng Tiefeng should also have died in the battle. Wuxi, so the whereabouts of this batch of gold became an eternal secret, and no one knew it anymore.
