Chapter 697 The King Returns
The two Americans stayed at the Jieqipo position. Arthur McLuhan was not only a liaison officer assigned to the Jieqipo position, but also an all-round instructor. Coles was a weapons expert sent by the Americans, and was very proficient in various weapons popular in the world today.

From pistols to rifles, from mortars to anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft guns, there was nothing he didn't know. He was a true weapons expert.

"I heard that you still have two anti-aircraft guns? And you used them to shoot down two Japanese planes?" Coles asked curiously, pulling Meng Fanle aside.

The last time Wang Zhong used two anti-aircraft guns to shoot down the two Japanese planes, it caused quite a stir among the upper echelons. Since the entire Southwest War Zone chose to give up a large amount of land on the west coast and hold on to the east coast, there has never been such a huge victory except for the last time the Sichuan Army Corps blew up the British airport occupied by the Japanese.

Those were two Japanese bombers, not two Japanese squads, nor an infantry and artillery position.

"The anti-aircraft guns are on the mountain! There are usually people watching over them." Meng Fanle pointed to the top of the hillside and introduced it to Coles in his not-so-fluent English, stumbling over it.

"Who is the shooter of your anti-aircraft gun? Can I get to know him?" Coles is a weapons expert, but he is not only an expert in disassembling, assembling and maintaining weapons, he is also an expert in using weapons. Although the anti-aircraft gun is powerful and has rapid firepower, it also has many shortcomings, and its range also has an upper limit. The Japanese fighters and bombers can stretch their altitude beyond the range of the anti-aircraft guns.

It is not an easy task to hit a Japanese bomber that is flying at high speed and is extremely agile in the air.

"He's our deputy commander, the one who led the commando team on a mission and hasn't returned yet." Meng said in annoyance.

"It's him again?" This time, not only Coles, but even Old Mike looked at Meng Fan curiously.

"Now that you mention it, I'm becoming more and more curious about your Deputy Captain Wang," Mike said.

"How long will it take for him to come back after this mission?" the two asked hurriedly.

Meng was annoyed and said, "I don't know about that. I have to ask our team leader."

Seeing the three people looking at him at the same time, Long Wenjian exclaimed "Ah" in confusion and looked at Meng Fan.

Meng Fanle hurriedly said: "They want to see Boss Wang and ask you when Boss Wang can come back."

"How would I know? You can never be sure about suppressing bandits. He might be back tomorrow. He might have to stay out for another ten days or half a month."

Meng Fan's face turned black and he glanced at Long Wenjian in annoyance. He conveyed his meaning to the two Americans. After hearing what he said, the two Americans could only sigh.

Long Wenjian treated these two Americans very well, fearing that he would not treat them well enough, neglect them and make them angry and run away. However, he did not expect that the two Americans' requirements for living conditions were not as high as he thought.

On the other side, Wang Zhong led the members of the commando team and arrived at the last destination of this trip, which was also the place where the most powerful group of bandits within 300 miles of Zenda Wangyuan were entrenched.

The southwest is a mountainous area, and the mountain occupied by this group of bandits is also the highest, most steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack mountain within a radius of 100 miles.

The name of the mountain, Huju, describes the steep and rugged terrain of the mountain, like a crouching tiger.

"Captain, there are only two roads leading up the mountain, and they are both blocked by them. Although we have a lot of people, if we force our way in, I'm afraid our brothers will suffer heavy losses."

Yao Ma looked up at the steep mountain that was almost towering into the clouds, and felt deeply moved.

Wang Zhong slapped Bu La on the head in anger and said, "Are you stupid? If we can't break the gate by force, then we can use artillery to blow it up. I asked you to bring so many grenade launchers, are they just for show?"

"Aren't I just waiting for your order?" Bu La said with a thick face and laughed.

"Mortars ready, target: the bandit stronghold!"

"First test round! Fire!"

As Wang Zhong shouted, bang bang bang, three 60-caliber mortars fired at the same time. Although the caliber was only 60, the power was not bad.

“Adjust the angle!”

"Aim at the bandit stronghold!"

"Second test shot!"

"put!"

······
The booming sound of the cannons stunned the people in the village who were eating meat and drinking wine. Some of the timid ones were even scared to crawl under the table.

"What's going on?" The leader of the mountain stronghold frowned and was wondering when three more shells fell, followed by three more. He was so scared that he hid under the table.

Wang Zhong’s plan was simple.

First, use mortars to bombard their village several times, then blow open the gate and rush in.

Five minutes later, following Bu La's order, several cannon shots were heard.

The air waves and flames produced by the explosion flashed across the air.

Brilliant but short-lived, just like a woman’s youth.

"Kill!"

"A bandit is worth one dollar. If you want to get rich, kill him quickly!" When the soldiers heard that a bandit was worth one dollar, their eyes turned green and they immediately rushed towards the bandit's stronghold, shouting.

Among them, the tallest one, Milong, shouted the loudest and rushed to the front with a machine gun. Anyone who showed up could not escape his burst of fire.

In less than a meal's time, Wang Zhong arrived at the mountain village.

Looking at the bandits tied up in front of the Juyi Hall, Wang Zhong asked calmly, "Who's the leader?"

A bald man stretched out his hand and stood up on his own initiative, but his expression was filled with panic and shock.

"Don't panic, just briefly introduce yourself first."

"My real name is Peng Lianhu, and I am from southern Hunan."

"Do you know whose goods were robbed last time?"

"I know." The bald man's tone remained calm.

“I’m glad to know!” Wang Zhong said nothing, but drew out the long sword of the deputy officer seized from the Japanese devils at his waist, then walked to the bald man, gathered strength to swing the sword, and then swung it.

The sharp blade instantly tore through the flesh and bones. A huge head jumped up instantly, and blood splattered out of the spray gun.

This brutal scene instantly frightened all the bandits, and even the commandos were not spared.

"Who else knows about this?"

"You don't know?"

Looking at the silent crowd, Wang Zhong waved his hand and said, "Since you don't know, then just chop them all off."

"what?"

"These bandits look so weak, it doesn't seem like they have the ability to eat our goods."

Today was destined to be a restless day. Several bandits kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying that they knew where the village chief had hidden his treasure and they were willing to lead the way.

a few days later.

Everyone returned with a full load.

"Come on! Let me introduce you to a new friend!" As soon as Wang Zhong returned to the position, Long Wenjian couldn't wait to pull him aside and talk about the Americans.

"American, weapons expert?"

"What does it look like?"

"A middle-aged man, about my age, and a young man in his twenties. You will definitely like it if you see it."

Looking at Long Wenjian's excited expression, Wang Zhong shook his head and said nothing.

Leading Wang Zhong to Old Mike and Coles, Long Wenjian introduced them to them enthusiastically.

"This is our group's all-round talent, the backbone, deputy group leader Wang Zhong."

"Are you Deputy Captain Wang?" Coles walked up to Wang Zhong excitedly and shook hands with him.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "My name is Wang Zhong, nice to meet you two."

"You can speak English?" The two were stunned, obviously frightened by the fluent English that Wang Zhong suddenly burst out.

"Hahaha!"

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Welcome two American friends to our Jiqipo position."

Coles was still a little excited: "I heard from your soldiers that you taught them how to disassemble and clean the guns?"

"good."

"Have you been to military academy?" Coles asked, still curious.

Wang Zhong shook his head and said, “Some things can be learned even if you don’t go to school.”

"I heard that you were the ones who fought those big battles on the East Coast?" At this time, before Coles could do anything, he and the East Coast also opened up about being comfortable with him.

"Yes, we did it."

"..."

Mike was fine, but Coles seemed to have turned into a fanboy of Wang Zhong, chasing after Wang Zhong and asking him questions all the way, looking like a complete inexperienced person.

Coles was particularly curious about Wang Zhong's feat of operating the anti-aircraft gun and shooting down two Japanese bombers.

Wang Zhong couldn't persuade him, so he pulled him to the front of the anti-aircraft gun and told him in detail what happened that day.

Hearing Wang Zhong's plain and unpretentious words, there was no trace of exaggeration.

"Deputy Captain Wang, I heard that you are conducting special training for your commandos?" Mike also found Wang Zhong.

"That's right." Wang Zhong said, "It's me."

"I wonder why Captain Wang is training the commandos?"

“Of course, it’s so that we can cross the Nujiang River and fight back to the east coast one day.” Wang Zhong said firmly.

Listening to Wang Zhong's powerful words and looking at his determined and complacent expression, Mike reached out his hand to Wang Zhong.

"Dear king, we will be friends."

"We are friends now!" Wang Zhong reached out and held Mike's hand, looking into his eyes and said with a smile: "Since you chose to come to Jiqipo, we have been friends, right?"

Mike also laughed, and his thick beard began to tremble: "Yes, you are right, we have been friends for a long time."

"Deputy Captain Wang, can I see the training of your assault team?" Mike put forward his idea.

"Of course! It's an honor." Wang Zhong immediately took the two of them to the training base and blew the whistle quickly. The soldiers quickly gathered and began strength training.

After watching the simple training of the assault team, Mike suddenly looked at Wang Zhong: "Wang, do you want to build a special operations force for your China?"

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "If it's possible, that would be best."

Mike immediately understood what Wang Zhong meant. These soldiers in training could become China's first special operations force, not because of Wang Zhong's decision, but because of themselves.

"I heard that you are good at training soldiers, Mike?" Wang Zhong smiled and looked at Old Mike and said, "How about we have an exchange?"

"of course can."

The two of them immediately sat together and discussed how to train soldiers.

Old Mike is worthy of being a person sent by the United States for support. His excellent military qualities and good habit of staying calm at all times are enough to show that he is not a simple person.

Wang Zhong did not see Old Mike clearly just because he had decades more experience than Old Mike. Instead, he had great trust in this military expert sent by the Americans.

In the past, Wang Zhong was too busy to handle everything, and although Long Wenjian had a lot of ideas, he had never attended a proper military school, so he naturally didn't know much about military training. It was a bit of a pity.

Now with the addition of Old Mike and Coles, Wang Zhong's plan can be implemented ahead of schedule.

The next day, Long Wenjian disappeared from the battlefield. Also missing were his superior A Yi and the Sichuan Army's regiment's treasure, Hao Weishi. They went into the city again and began to recruit soldiers again.

The daily training and defense of the troops naturally fell on the head of the sergeant advisor, Old Mike.

Old Mike did not leave in a huff like in the original novel, but took the initiative to take over the daily training of the Sichuan Army.

Under the leadership of Meng Fanle, Coles conducted a comprehensive inspection of the weapons and equipment of the entire Sichuan Army Corps.

Today, the weapons and equipment of the Sichuan Army Corps were all brought back by Wang Zhong and Milong from Yu Xiaoqing last time. They are no longer the American and Japanese equipment as before.

Of course, the current Sichuan Army also has a lot of American equipment, but more of them are Zhongzheng rifles. After all, these guns are cheap. Especially with the large number of weapons and equipment supported by the United States, these guns have been eliminated, and the bullets are also 7.62mm rifle bullets like most rifles on the market.

Coles' inspection took three full days, and he discovered quite a few problems. Although with Wang Zhong's instruction, both new recruits and veterans paid more attention to their weapons, there were still quite a few problems.

Coles raised these issues one by one and provided solutions.

It is worth mentioning that Coles did not almost fight with Milong because of the machine gun problem like in the original book. After all, the current Milong treasures the machine gun just like his wife and son. He cleans the machine gun inside and out every day and also oils it for maintenance.

Milong looks careless, but he is actually a very careful person.

There is also Doubing. This kid looks silly on weekdays, but he is actually a talented person. Ever since Wang Zhong taught everyone how to disassemble, assemble and maintain guns, this kid didn't say anything, but he has been practicing hard behind the scenes.

You know, as the assistant shooter, his main responsibility is to carry ammunition and gun barrels for Milong, so that Milong can suppress the enemy with uninterrupted firepower when the war breaks out.

But even so, this kid became the one with the fastest speed in disassembling and assembling guns in the entire Sichuan Army, except for Wang Zhong. He could even disassemble and assemble Milong's machine gun skillfully.

I just don't know how accurate it is.
