Rise from eight hundred.

Representing the Fourth Battalion in the battle was a second lieutenant platoon leader of the 4th Battalion Artillery Company!

During the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, this was a sergeant mortar operator in Lei Xiong's machine gun company.

Among German weapon divisions like the 88th Division, those who can serve as sergeants must have some level of proficiency, and this veteran named Zheng Xianping is the first gunner of the 524th Regiment.

Because there were no guns available, he could only retreat to the concession with the main force of the regiment. Later, he followed Shangguan Yun and others to the Taihang Mountains, and was promoted from sergeant to second lieutenant of the mortar platoon.

One of Zheng Xianping's most impressive skills is that he can accurately judge distances with the naked eye alone without relying on any rangefinder. He also seems to have a natural affinity for weapons such as artillery. No matter what kind of artillery, he can quickly get started.

If Shangguan Yun and Qin Ruoyu hadn't been forced to stay, they might have been recruited by Pang Panghai and sent to the artillery battalion as deputy company commanders of the heavy forced company.

The Japanese 50mm grenade in his hand was just like a toy!

Shangguan Yun sent him out just to earn a lot of face for the Fourth Battalion.

The main reason is that there is still a gap between the Fourth Battalion and the other three infantry battalions that have been established for a long time. The other infantry battalions have fist troops. For example, the First Battalion has Wei Donglai's Steel Company, the Second Battalion also has Cai Yongguan's Hardcore Company, and the Third Battalion has every force. The 7th company, which must be the sharp knife company in the battle, is the one among his four battalions that has not been able to stand out enough to be famous.

Therefore, in this military competition, other infantry battalions could not win the championship, but only the members of his fourth battalion could not.

This faction is the best artilleryman in the entire Four Lines Regiment.

Sure enough, Zheng Xianping lived up to expectations. The already strict physical training of the Four Lines Regiment allowed him to place in the top two places. After having enough time to adjust his breathing rate, the sharpshooter fired all five grenades from the grenades and landed around the fortifications, deviating from the maximum. The distance is no more than 4 meters.

At the ultra-long distance of 500 meters, the effective range of the grenade, and without any test firing, the crater only deviated from the target by less than 4 meters. This is an absolutely magical gunner.

This time, the 921 Division was far behind. The grenade launcher they sent out came first in running. Of the five grenades that could be fired, two of them missed 20 meters away and were not counted in the score. Three of the grenade launchers were within a distance of fortifications. A position of about 3 meters.

This should also have something to do with the fact that the 921 Division guard battalion is not equipped with many grenadiers. Today, with the support of the Four Lines Regiment, the guard troops of the 921 Division have all been equipped with German weapons and equipment, mainly submachine guns and Czech light machine guns. The mortar also chose the 82 mortar, which has more powerful firepower.

For the generals of the 80th Group Army, the fear of insufficient firepower did not actually begin when they encountered the Japanese during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Perhaps it had become deeply rooted in their bones as early as seven or eight years ago during their confrontation with certain people.

The Japanese 50mm grenade was naturally regarded as a treasure in the early days, but as new equipment continued to be updated and iterated, as the last trump card in the hands of the division leader, it was naturally no longer equipped in the guard camp.

If the grenade launchers from the front-line troops of the two main regiments, the 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment, are recruited, the strength will probably be much stronger.

这种现象或许不仅在921师存在，101师、28师、17师都有，反观装备更差一点的12师和104师的表现却好很多。

The grenadiers are two of them, but they are treasures. Even the guard troops are equipped with a lot of equipment.

The equipment of the guard battalion of Commander Li of the 104th Division can be said to be diverse. The Liao-made Thirteen Rifle is the main rifle, and the MP28 submachine gun is used by both young and old. The squad, platoon, and company commanders all wear 20-shot shell guns, and Japanese-style grenade launchers are worn by everyone. A must-have for a security guard class.

It has long-range, medium-range, and short-range firepower, but it is still a hodgepodge made by China, Japan, and Germany, which always makes people feel a bit nondescript. The battlefield ammunition supply is also a hidden danger.

But what I have to admit is that if this originally defensive guard battalion is pulled out, it can become an offensive field force at any time.

This is probably also a helpless move by the 22nd Army as it still lacks equipment!

Therefore, the 104th Division shined in this round of competition and won second place in one fell swoop. A major general of the Sichuan Army present was so happy that he kept scratching his head: "You are a turtle who insists on winning, and wants a reward!"

Really, before participating in this military competition, even this major general of the Sichuan Army, who knew his own family affairs, was probably prepared to be at the bottom of all four events in the branch venue.

You know, I unexpectedly got second place. Not to mention getting 5 submachine guns, the loss was also lost to the Four Lines Group.

The Sixings Regiment was originally an infantry regiment directly under the group army. It was not shameful at all for the Sichuan Army to lose to the Sichuan Army. It was almost equivalent to the two brothers from the Sichuan Army winning first place together.

Good guy, just for this seemingly fine self-comfort, Sichuan people are really among the top three in the country for their optimism!

The 12th Division of the Yunnan Army also performed well. The short grenade launcher, only 1.6 meters tall, relied on 4 grenade blasts only 6 meters away from the fortifications, and won the third place.

The results of the last four are a bit worrying. From the fourth to the last place, they all belong to the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother. It is normal for three shots to miss, and it is normal for one to hit two.

Sometimes, having too good weapons and equipment is also a problem, causing officers and soldiers to forget the use of simpler weapons.

This does not mean that we must live a hard life, but we must not forget the hard times.

As for whether the Fourth Line Regiment sent out gunners belonging to the front-line infantry battalions and took advantage of the security forces of other divisions, no fool would think so.

The Four Lines Regiment has already completely eliminated grenades, and is equipped with small-caliber mortars. If it is stipulated that 60-mm mortars can be used, the performance gap may be even greater.

"Have you seen, Lao Xu, that our regiment-level security company cannot learn from the division and brigade headquarters? If we encountered the Japanese elite field troops that day, it would be difficult to use submachine guns and shell guns. We would have to bite the bullet and be beaten passively. This throw We can't waste the cartridges!" Wang Xiaoqiang whispered to Captain Xu quietly, with a bit of pride on his face.

He had specially hired 9 grenadiers in his security company. This time he came with the brigade commander. He did not bring so many people with him, but only a security squad with all light weapons.

Otherwise, if he had hired a grenade launcher from his own security company, his results would probably have been better than the blushing mortar launcher from the division's security battalion.

What is foresight? This is it.

"It's true to hold on to the grenade, but I heard that the 60-meter gun from the Four Lines Regiment can shoot up to 1500 meters!" Captain Xu replied slowly.

"Well, it must be your brother's eyesight. Let me think about it. How can I persuade the chief to get some from Tang Dao? If I can build four or five schools, I will definitely give it to you." Wang Xiaoqiang patted his thigh and was greeted by A great inspiration.

"Why is it that I am the only one among the four or five sects?" Captain Xu was stunned.

"Because this is the face of me and the chief, you lit the fire, and if you can get one, it's all because we are old comrades in arms for many years." Wang Xiaoqiang replied confidently.

"You, Old Wang, are really not a good person. From now on, just pretend that we don't know each other." Even though he was used to Wang Xiaoqiang's shameless attitude, Captain Xu couldn't help it anymore.

He grabbed a pack of unfinished cigarettes from Wang Xiaoqiang's hand and quickly sat farther away from him.

"Okay, okay, let's divide you into another one. Look at your stingy look. I can't defeat him by myself. You also have to slander the brigade commander." Wang Xiaoqiang moved over.

"If you don't understand the words, please don't use them. I'm not a treacherous official. How can I be slandering you!" Captain Xu was very happy with this blacksmith who had a background in blacksmithing.

"No matter what you say, as we are in last place today, the two chiefs must also know the importance of small-caliber mortars. Maybe the chiefs will have a drink with Tang Dao at night. Do you believe it or not?" Wang Xiaoqiang was indifferent. The words made me feel lonely.

"I don't believe it. Today is the wedding night for Captain Tang and the reporter from Tantai!" Captain Xu shook his head.

"Otherwise, you are almost 30 and still can't find a wife. What are you going to do before the wedding night?"

"Having trouble in the bridal chamber!"

"Then it's over. I'll encourage the brigade commander to take you with him to arrange a bridal chamber for Captain Tang. If he doesn't invite the brigade commander and your brother to have a drink, there's no telling when the bridal chamber will start!"

"You..." Captain Xu took a breath.

Good guy, Brigadier Cheng and he, the leader of the regiment, are going to have a bridal chamber together. This scene is not too weird even if you think about it.

Moreover, are you serious about drinking from the Tang wine vat? That's a one versus ten situation.

Recalling the scene of drinking with Tang Dao at the brigade headquarters more than half a year ago, Captain Xu felt a little trembling in his calves. Don't fight the Japanese and survive, but drink to death.

its not right! Why was Mao the brigade commander taking him to the bridal chamber? Why wasn't it Wang Xiaoqiang who made the bad idea? By the time Captain Xu, who had come back to his senses, wanted to settle the score with this guy, he had already slipped away to someone unknown.

The cheers from the main venue were like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. The three physical fitness events are best compared to see who can do more.

Whether it's pull-ups, push-ups, or sit-ups, the training ground facilities of the Si Xing Group are enough for seven contestants to compete together.

Something went wrong in the 28th Division of pull-ups. A strong Army corporal actually did 58 pull-ups in one go. Even though he was almost exhausted in the end, he still managed to do it to the full limit amidst the cheers from the surrounding mountains and tsunami. 60 pcs.

After asking, I found out that this man was originally a stonemason. After joining the army, he started out as a transport soldier. His daily job was to carry bags or bags. Finally, because of his strength, he was selected into Brigadier Hu's guard camp as an ammunition carrier.

During daily marches, heavy machine guns carry machine gun bullets. Brigadier Hu has a reputation as a "mobile bullet depot".

This means that this guy can't participate in three events alone, otherwise it shouldn't be a problem to get a few more top three spots.

In fact, this also shows the difference in the nutritional level of the officers and soldiers in various departments. After all, the 28th Division is close to the Central Army. The food of the troops is not comparable to that of the Japanese army, but it is better than that of several other divisions.

The worst ones are the 921st Division and the 104th Division. Although these two divisions receive the most support from the Si Xing Tuan, they are the least popular among the Military and Political Department, and the 921st Division quickly retreated because of Anxian County and its own troops. , the small amount of military expenditures distributed to each person is even less.

Although they are not all malnourished and skinny, it is true that they are not very strong in body.

Therefore, in terms of pure strength, after all, they are still not as good as the other divisions, but they didn't finish in the top three, but they didn't finish in the bottom either. They were basically fourth or fifth.

If it hadn't been for the good news coming from the branch venue, and there were two first frontmen, Mr. Liu, who was already serious, might have looked even more serious.

In the push-up event, Boss Cao, sent by the Four Elements Group, won the championship just as everyone imagined.

After finishing 200 push-ups, I didn't sweat profusely and almost collapse like others. Instead, I moved my arms to relax my muscles. Obviously, I still had some energy left.

The 17th Division finally excelled in the sit-ups event. A guard company second lieutenant who had just been promoted from guard squad leader won the first place.

Of course, he was promoted not because of his strong waist and abdomen, but because he was the guard squad leader who participated in blocking the Japanese infantry brigade with Long Yan.

Shaanxi Province Lengwa, who has been practicing Shaanxi Province Red Boxing since he was a child, did not gain an advantage in crushing him. He was only two ahead of a corporal who participated in the second place of the Four Lines Group.

In addition to pull-ups, 5 minutes are given for push-ups and sit-ups. The one who does the most within the specified time is the winner.

This is also a special situation that Tang Dao wanted to avoid in the future military competition. In his memory, a conscript did a total of 3 sit-ups in 4115 hours, an average of 23 sit-ups per minute.

Therefore, given the prescribed time, the contestants were forced to lie down on the ground and rest for even a second, maximizing the explosive power of their waist and abdominal strength.

The corporal of the transport battalion of the Fourth Army Regiment did 246 in five minutes. It was amazing to complete one in almost 1.2 seconds, but in the end the guard platoon leader of the 17th Division did 248.

Of course, the performance of the other departments was not bad either. The worst one did 193. With terrifying waist and abdominal strength, he was a strong man. Even if he came in last place, he did not embarrass his superiors.

When these three events were completed, the most adrenaline-fueled unarmed combat and wooden spear stabbing finally came!

It has to be said that even in today's era where hot weapons dominate the battlefield, the most exciting thing is the close combat where fists touch flesh or swords touch blood.

The competition hasn’t even started yet, the ‘17th Division is bound to win! ’, ‘921 Division is first! ’ The sound of cheering for his comrades was already shaking the whole place.

At the branch venue, those who had already watched the gun shooting and were attracted by the shocking slogans were also running towards this side.

Seeing that the emotions of the troops were so high, the organizing committee temporarily moved the competition venue to the center of the training ground so that it could be seen clearly from any direction.

The wooden sandbag obstacles originally placed on the sidelines were also moved first to avoid blocking the view.

Taking advantage of this time difference, the seven officers and soldiers participating in unarmed combat and stabbing skills each drew lots.

Because this is a fight, it is impossible to engage in a big melee. You can only follow the order of the draw. The person who draws the 7th lottery will get a bye, and then form a four-person round with the three winners. After the duel, the remaining two will advance to the finals. Fight for first place.

There is no need to compete for the remaining five rankings. The referee Tang Dao will give the rankings based on the performance on the fighting field.

Those who have a bye will definitely have the most advantage. They don’t have to put in any effort and can just wait and see. In this situation where the strength is almost the same, the possibility of entering the finals is higher than 90%.

But this is already the way to determine the ranking in the shortest time, not to mention that luck is a part of strength.

As a result, the most embarrassing scene occurred.

A senior soldier from the mountain infantry company who represented the Four Lines Regiment in the battle was drawn No. 7. The division commanders were a little dumbfounded. That person was not an ordinary person, but Mr. Han, the chief fighting and spearmanship instructor of the Four Lines Regiment. They all nodded and praised him. ruthless person.

In the battle of Shaiyue Valley, six Japanese soldiers were killed by the Jiuli tribe's long sword!

The unique ferocity of ethnic minorities and the martial arts skills they learned from the birds and animals in the mountains were once a nightmare for the Han people.

If such a player gets a bye, will he still be ranked first? So why are you guys trying to compete?

"Don't tell me that Luo Cheng, the leader of Tang Dynasty, is the most powerful general in a million-strong army. He single-handedly picked off five Japanese invaders outside the Sihang Warehouse. Why don't you take this opportunity to let us have a look today?" 101 Teacher Dong of the division suddenly suggested.

"What I mean is that Commander Tang simply represents the Four Lines Regiment and competes with the other six officers and soldiers. Based on their performance, you will rate and determine the ranking.

After all, there is no rule saying that the regiment leader cannot participate in this military competition. The regiment leader is also a soldier! "

"Hey! This is a good idea. I have admired Brother Tang for his skills for a long time." Brigadier Hu nodded repeatedly.

He knew that the Tang Sword was very powerful, otherwise he would not have led a group of people to the other side of the Yellow River and disturbed the 3rd Division, but he had never seen it with his own eyes as to how powerful it was.

"Then this isn't the number one in the Four Elements Group?" the white-haired general said with a smile. "I don't think anyone can win a game while Captain Tang is exhausted."

"Isn't the point of the sports meeting that friendship comes first and competition comes second? The four-line group does not have a quota this time. It is enough to only take the top six. It will also save the four-line group a souvenir." Mr. Dong said with a smile.

Tang Dao

If you want to have fewer competitors, just say, am I the one who is missing a three-edged military thorn?

Tang Dao could tell that this Mr. Dong, who looked kind and honest, was also a man full of scheming. No wonder he would become a famous general in China in the future!

He didn't just want to get more submachine guns, he even had the intention to test Tang Dao's strength.

Everything must be heard and seen!

"I think it's okay, that's it!" Mr. Liu also nodded.

A bunch of big guys can really trick people!

Tang Dao glanced at these people, their smiles were bright, but no one seemed to feel sorry for him, the groom who would enter the bridal chamber in six or seven hours.

Otherwise, Brigadier Kong had to show his loyalty and help this brother Tang Dao weakly: "Brother Tang will have to enter the bridal chamber later! Don't let anyone get hurt. It's hard for us to deal with the Tantai reporters. .”

"Lao Kong, please keep your heart in mind. As for my brother, you see, he has been fighting hard battles with the Japanese for more than a year. Have the Japanese ever hurt him? If he competes with his own people, it is even more impossible. " Brigadier Cheng shook his head.

"Oh! Okay, then it's settled." Brigadier Kong nodded repeatedly.

This chorus was so clumsy that Tang Dao just wanted to roll his eyes!

What the hell, you haven’t even served your wife yet! He actually had to fight a big man with six swords. What is this?

Tang Tuanzuo suddenly became jealous!

"Okay, but change the rules. It's too troublesome to come one by one. Let the six of them come together!" (End of Chapter)
