Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 21: The Calm Before the Storm

On June 6th, Mr. Chen Binggong finally rushed back to Xinghe. At the same time, he came back with more than 18 cars and a lot of loan certificates.This made Chen Feng, who had just received a tasteless reward, feel a lot better. No wonder Chen Feng was so entangled. The system reward in June was so deceitful, it actually doubled his mental strength.Apart from feeling that his reaction had become much faster, Chen Feng didn't feel anything else, which made Commander Chen extremely depressed.

This time, Mr. Chen reaped a lot. He borrowed a total of 6 million silver dollars from six foreign banks, and also borrowed 480 million French currency from the Zhongyang Bank of the National Government.After changing hands, Mr. Chen exchanged all the borrowed Fabi for cash, and then escorted the money back to Xinghe.

When he came back to see Chen Feng, the first thing Mr. Chen said was: "I hope that the war will break out as you predicted, otherwise our Chen family will really go bankrupt, and the interest on these loans alone will be enough to wipe out our Chen family. Suck it dry."

But from Chen Feng's point of view, if one Chen family was exchanged for the safety of the whole of China, he would be happy to do so.But that is impossible. The war will definitely break out on that day, and no one can change this.

In a whole month, under Chen Feng's supervision, Xinghe County's city defense fortifications were overhauled. According to Chen Feng's arrangement, Xinghe County built a large number of concrete bunkers outside the east and west gates.The structures of these bunkers are all semi-basement. According to the design requirements, these bunkers can withstand the attack of a thousand pounds of aerial bombs.

On the 25th, outside Xinghe County, 4 ragged bandits stood neatly at the gate of the city.Chen Feng jumped over all the people on a tall horse, stood at the front of the army, and said slowly: "It's been a whole month, it's time to pull out whether it's a mule or a horse. The assessment is officially held today, and there are a total of 30 items in the assessment. The first item is weight-bearing cross-country, with a load of 50 kilograms, a distance of 10 kilometers, and a time limit of [-] hours. Everyone who completes this assessment will get [-] points, and those who exceed the time will be eliminated, and the top [-] who reach the finish line will add [-] points."

After announcing the marching route, Chen Feng gave the order to start.

Although Chen Feng didn't say what would happen to the eliminated ones, but thinking of what Chen Feng said before, they would be shot if they failed the assessment. Everyone didn't dare to neglect, and started to run forward after the order was given.

50 kilometers for 10 hours, with an average of 5 kilometers per hour. This speed and distance are actually not outrageous. Chen Feng believes that most people in this level can reach the standard. After all, this period of time is not for nothing. No kidding.

However, the final result surprised Chen Feng a bit. All 2833 soldiers met the standard, and none of them were eliminated.

On the second morning, the second assessment subject-live ammunition shooting.

It is still ten bullets per person, the distance is 100 meters, the 70 rings pass, and a ten rings plus five points.

This time the gap was revealed. Although the vast majority of the soldiers had reached the standard, there were still more than 700 soldiers who scored below 70 rings.

However, to Chen Feng's delight, a group of shooting masters emerged in the army. Since four soldiers scored 4 rings with Mauser rifles, there are also quite a few soldiers with 10 rings. These are all good candidates for snipers. .

In the afternoon is the combat assessment, which requires you to hold on for 2 minutes with your bare hands under the attack of the special forces to be considered qualified.Two hundred players took turns to face more than 800 fighters from the three regiments.

There are not too many people who have passed this assessment, nearly 1000 people have been eliminated, and it is not too many people who can last for 2 minutes under the attack of special forces.However, there are still surprises. Some of them who had already practiced martial arts, not only persisted under the attack of the special forces, but even took the initiative to fight back, knocking down the special forces who were assessing them. The expert Chen Feng also gave extra points.

On the third day, the fourth assessment was carried out, a rapid march in the mountains. Everyone carried standard combat equipment, and then marched 15 kilometers in a rapid manner in the mountains, and it took five hours to arrive. Those who still passed were awarded ten points, and the top two hundred plus ten points.

After the assessment is completed, those who get 800 points are considered qualified, and those with less than 300 points are eliminated.Soon the scores of each soldier were counted. To Chen Feng's delight, only 40 of the [-] soldiers scored below [-] points, and the others' comprehensive scores were above the passing line.

There are many people who failed in a certain item, but performed well in other items, got extra points, and got away with it.

“下面我宣布成绩排在前126名以前的士兵名单,No.1:李逸风,总分120分;No.2:徐财富,总分115;No.3:王基铭,总分110;No.4:李强,总分110;No.5刘浩强.....”

"Now I announce the appointment of the officers of the Third Security Regiment: Li Yifeng, the deputy commander, Xu Fufu, the chief of staff of the regiment, Wang Jiming, the commander of the first battalion, Liu Haoqiang, the commander of the second battalion, Ma Xiong, the commander of the third battalion, and Ao Rigla, the commander of the machine gun battalion... .”

"Next, I will announce the decision on the treatment of the eliminated personnel. All 377 eliminated personnel will form a death squad. When necessary, they will be the vanguard of the army. As long as they perform a mission and come back alive, they will immediately become regular soldiers." Chen Feng announced the order loudly.

According to the prior arrangement, the bandits who were eliminated would be pulled out and shot.But now that the war is about to start, every soldier is precious.These people are China's national defense forces, even if they die, they must die on the battlefield, not on the execution ground.

The eliminated ones who escaped by chance were also very grateful to Chen Feng for giving them the chance to survive this time, and readily agreed that Chen Feng would join the death squad of the security regiment.

The time has come to June 6th, and there are only ten days before the Lugou Bridge.Not only Chen Feng, but many people have already smelled the gunpowder of war. In the past few days, many people have escaped from Beiping one after another.

On the 28th, Yehelina and Lusha returned to Xinghe County with two cavalry regiments.The cavalry regiment went northward to the Xilin Gol Grassland and made a lot of gains. According to Chen Feng's arrangement, they beat Li Shouxin's puppet Mongolian army several times in a row, and beat the sap of the Han Jian Wang Ying's troops several times.In more than two months, more than 3000 cavalry spread the prestige of the Saibei caravan all over the Xilin Gol grassland.

Now Yehelina's cavalry has expanded by a quarter, and the total force has reached more than 800 people. The weapons and equipment have also been changed. Each has a carbine and a saber. As for the horse, it has reached one person. Two-horse configuration.

After returning to Xinghe, Chen Feng issued two uniforms of the security regiment to each cavalry, and then sent a few telegraphers and two radios to the cavalry, and finally ordered Lisa to take the cavalry to Xinghe County The northernmost Saiwusu area is on standby.

The war was getting closer and closer, and Chen Feng's mood became more and more anxious.After nearly seven months of layout, he formed a total of three infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments, with a total strength of nearly 4000 people, which is equivalent to the establishment of a Class A division of the Kuomintang government.

In addition, through his efforts, the security regiment opened up the Daqingshan base, where a small arsenal and a large steel factory were opened.The arsenal was run by Chen Feng himself, and it could only produce ammunition, not guns.

As for the steel plant, of course the construction order of the steel plant was used. When the huge blast furnace stood up in the huge cave overnight, everyone was stunned, even Xu Hu and others were shocked .This is a real miracle. No one can build a large steel factory overnight, but Commander Chen Feng and Chen did it. This made Xu Hu and others more determined to follow Chen Feng.

And the Jewish experts from Germany were amazed when they saw this huge steel factory built in a cave.Even in industrially developed Europe, such a steel plant with an annual output of 50 tons of high-quality steel is rare, let alone in industrially backward Asia.

And this steel plant is extremely advanced both in terms of equipment and production technology. In the words of military industry expert William, the production technology of this steel plant must be at least 30 years ahead of the world, or even more.

Since it does not require a long construction period, the steel plant has already started production more than ten days ago.Only limited by various factors such as raw materials and workers, only one of the four blast furnaces has been fully started, and it is not operating at full capacity. The monthly production of high-quality steel is less than 10 tons, which is less than [-]% of the designed capacity.

Although it is only [-] tons, it is still extremely important to Chen Feng. The system reward Chen Feng received in June was the military construction order he had dreamed of. Although it was only a grenade production line, it was undoubtedly of great importance to Chen Feng, who relied on purchasing all his weapons and equipment. Epoch-making.

What's more, this grenade production line is still very advanced, and it turns out to be Japanese Type 12 grenade, which is a stereotyped grenade developed by the Japanese Army in Showa 1937 (9.8).The total length is 5cm, the diameter of the projectile is 455cm, the weight is 65g, and the amount of explosive is [-]g. It can be regarded as a relatively advanced grenade in this era.

In addition, the security regiment has stored a large amount of weapons, equipment and medicines in bases on the earth, food and daily supplies are enough for the troops to consume for several years, and also hoarded a large amount of money. It can be said that Chen Feng has done everything he can think of. up.

But Chen Feng knew that these things alone would not be able to drive Ri himself away.Although his family background seems to be quite a lot, it is not a star and a half behind the Japanese army. At the beginning of the war, the number of a first-class division of the Japanese army was close to 3, and his strength was less than that of others. half of the division.

In addition, at the beginning of the war, the Japanese army used elites who had experienced many battles.The quality of the soldiers is extremely high, usually a brigade of infantry is enough to counter a division of the Kuomintang army, and there are not a few battles in which a regiment defeats an army of the Nationalist government.

Although Chen Feng still had great confidence in the three infantry regiments under his command, after all, they were all trained by him according to the training method of the special forces of later generations. Although the time was short, the combat effectiveness was not bad.

Even so, Chen Feng did not dare to be careless.Although the weapons and equipment of his troops far exceeded the configuration of the Kuomintang troops at the same time, even Lao Jiang's direct line central army was slightly inferior, and it was not at a disadvantage compared to the Japanese army.But Chen Feng knew that his security team had a fatal flaw, that is, there were too many new recruits in the army, and most of the soldiers had never been to the battlefield. It was hard to say whether they were mules or horses.

The other one is that Chen Feng doesn't have an advantage in terms of intelligence. Ri himself has the special high-tech department, the Ju organization and the Mei organization, but he has nothing.Although he had already consciously asked his old lady Meng Genqiqige to set up his own intelligence agency, Menggenqiqige was not a professional in military intelligence after all, so his role was not very obvious.

There are reconnaissance troops patrolling and reconnaissance in a small area, Chen Feng is not blind, but if the war escalates in an all-round way and the security team takes the initiative to attack, without the strong support of the intelligence department, this battle will not be easy to fight.
