Just looking at the astonishing scale of smelting in the iron ore field, Hu Bin knew that something very important had happened in Ruzhou Mansion this time.

Then he made a gesture, summoned his subordinates and whispered a command, and then everyone slowly dived towards the mine. But after Hu Bin and the others left, a turf not far from him moved strangely.

In fact, the original small scale and low output of Qingping County Iron Mine were not due to small reserves, but also because of poor mining environment and difficult transportation and smelting.

Therefore, after taking control of Qingping County, Li Yun strengthened the manpower, and gave the iron mine a large amount of explosives, relying on the manpower and explosives at any cost, and simply increased the output of the iron mine, otherwise it would not be able to meet the needs of the Suzaku Army to expand the army.

And Hu Bin and the others are worthy of being the elite of the Dragon Fu Secret Guard, although the iron mine is tightly guarded, they still let them find a flaw.

However, this does not mean that their actions have not been discovered, and Li Yun attaches great importance to such an important place as the iron ore field, which is naturally beyond imagination.

Not only is there an elite special forces, but there is also a squad of the Secret Service stationed there. Therefore, although Hu Bin avoided the eyes and ears of the outer patrol battalion, he did not escape the eyes of the secret service.

Therefore, when Hu Bin and his subordinates quietly infiltrated the iron mine, they also unknowingly fell into the siege of the secret service.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

So just as Hu Bin and the others were sneaking into the iron mine, a few crisp gunshots suddenly rang out.

"Ah......h

Before Hu Bin could react, he fell to the ground with a pain in his legs, and he was just about to order a retreat, when he suddenly felt a pain in his neck and knew nothing.

Then a secret service officer ordered: "Carry all the corpses away, and don't cause any panic!" ”

"No!"

At this time, Li Yun was inspecting the troops in Canglan Mountain, and with the full expansion of the Suzaku Army, the structure between the various departments gradually became complete.

According to the original plan, Li Yun planned to expand the Suzaku Army to a regimental level except for some special units. However, although the Suzaku Army used the name of the regiment, because of the different establishments, the actual strength of the first regiment of the Suzaku Army exceeded 10,000 people!

At present, the Suzaku Army has a total of four regiments, but the strength of each regiment is only 40 percent of the authorized strength.

Although Li Yun was very anxious with the gradual exposure of the Vermilion Bird Army, he was not willing to blindly pursue the number of people.

"Ready!"

"Aim!"

"Fire!"

"Smack......!"

"Smack......!"

"Smack......!"

The soldiers on the shooting range in the distance were conducting live-fire training, and with the officer's order, all the soldiers were in a hurry to make corresponding tactical movements. The neat, smooth, and skillful movements fully demonstrated the well-trained nature of these soldiers.

The four regiments of the Suzaku Army were all established on the basis of the five squads that were formed at the beginning. Except for Luo Li's team, which was reorganized into a field reconnaissance battalion by Li Yun, the remaining four squads were all upgraded to a regimental system.

At that time, the initial personnel training time was the longest, and some of them were trained to become officers at all levels, and some of them were arranged by Li Yun to be in charge of supervision and political and ideological work even if they did not have military talent.

Although these people have no talent, they have followed Li Yun for the longest time and are the most loyal, so Li Yun has also given them a high position. Even if they don't have any talent, as long as they can keep instilling the idea of loyalty to Li Yun in the soldiers, it will be enough.

In fact, the officers at all levels of the Suzaku Army, in addition to these old brothers, are the most student soldiers who graduated from the military academy.

Although these student soldiers are all military experts like Li Yun, who is half-, they have been trained through short-term classes with some patchwork military teaching materials. And these people are really not qualified officers except for some military common sense, but Li Yun has no other choice other than that.

However, although the quality of these student soldiers is different, as students trained by Li Yun himself, their loyalty is beyond doubt.

Because Li Yun's principle of employing people is to meritocracy under cronyism!

Li Yun first considered proximity and loyalty, and then military talent, as long as these two items were qualified, he did not care about the age of the officer.

This is because at the beginning of the military academy's recruitment, the main recruits were sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers, because teenagers in this period are the most malleable! Although there are some students from strong men who are enrolled in the school, the average age of students in military academies is still very low.

Therefore, among the various departments of the Suzaku Army, there are not many sixteen or seventeen-year-old young officers, and even some excellent ones have already taken the position of captain!

After turning around the shooting range, Li Yun was still very satisfied, and there were still many types of firearms equipped by the Suzaku Army. In addition to equipment such as rifles, revolvers, grenades, mines, artillery, etc., there are also special firearms such as single-shot shotguns and rocket launchers.

Shotguns are commonly known as trolls, and all beings are equal under the so-called trolls. Although its range is not accurate, the lethality at close range is extremely objective, and most importantly, its structure and manufacture are simple.

And the biggest shortcoming of the Suzaku Army is the poor ability of individual combat. For this reason, Li Yun was equipped with a large number of single-shot shotguns of various models in the army, and even short-barreled shotguns comparable to hand cannons, equipped with individual soldiers, and this kind of perverted behavior was simply madness.

But Li Yun's frenzied behavior has also greatly improved the melee combat ability of the Vermilion Bird Army, and I believe it will definitely leave a deep impression on the Imperial Army.

In addition to single-shot shotguns, Li Yun also equipped the Suzaku Army with a large number of rocket weapons.

Rocket weapons are simple to manufacture and have great lethality, which is very important for Li Yun, who suffers from a phobia of insufficient firepower. In fact, the rockets equipped by the Vermilion Bird Army are not advanced, and in short, they are large monkeys.

There are two main types of rockets, one is a rocket similar to an RPG, but this kind of rocket is very rudimentary and requires two people to work together to launch. When fired, one person carried the launch canister to aim, one person loaded and ignited the lead, and its warhead used picric acid explosives.

Therefore, although its range is not far, its lethality is not weak.

There is also a multiple rocket launcher made by Li Yun in imitation of the Huaxia 107 rocket launcher. Each rocket can be fired in a centralized manner on the launch vehicle, or it can be fired by a man-portable soldier using a simple rail.

However, due to the limitations of manufacturing processes and raw materials, the range of these rockets is generally not far. However, because Li Yun used high explosives such as picric acid in the warhead, its power was still very impressive.

In addition to these firearms, the Suzaku Army was also equipped with advanced armor and armor, as well as a number of cold weapons.

At present, the firepower of the Suzaku Army is far from strong enough to despise white-knuckle combat, so it is necessary to equip an appropriate amount of cold weapons. As for the reason for equipping armor, it is because the main opponent of the Suzaku Army is equipped with cold weapons, so armor is also a necessary equipment for the Suzaku Army.

The armor of the Vermilion Bird Army was specially designed by Li Yunbo, the director of the family, and its main protective part was made of plate armor forged from steel plates. The rest of the body is made of chain mail and fish scale armor, so that it can be protected and flexible at the same time.

At the same time, Li Yun also borrowed the concept of modern modular armor, and reserved special grooves in the necessary parts of the armor, so that the reinforced armor module could be installed at any time.

In this way, soldiers can strengthen their armor at any time according to the battlefield situation, as well as their own personal abilities.

Not only that, after referring to ancient and modern materials and cool pictures on the Internet, the design of all armors is extremely beautiful, because appearance is also combat effectiveness!

Just as Li Yun was inspecting the live-fire training of various armies, on the other side of the shooting range, the staff of several arsenals pushed a strange artillery. But when Li Yun got closer, he found that this was not a cannon at all, but a Grimm machine gun!

Seeing Li Yun coming, Hu Da immediately greeted him and said excitedly: "Big brother, you see that we are fortunate not to be dishonored, we have finally built the machine gun you wanted." ”

"Well, yes, well done!" Li Yun nodded and praised Hu Da.

Then Li Yun looked at this Green machine gun, in fact, it was no wonder that Li Yun was wrong just now, because this Green machine gun was too much like artillery.

The Grimm machine gun was fixed with a cylinder along which a number of barrels were carried along, one capable of rotating the locking chamber and the inside of which was fitted with a firing pin. Then shake the handle to turn the barrel, and the rapid-fire firearm that fires bullets in turn.

Because it is a multi-barrel design, the Grimm machine gun has a large volume. In addition, in order to solve the problem of heating the barrel, Li Yun borrowed from the design of Makqin and installed a sleeve filled with water on the outside of the barrel.

This solves the problem of barrel heating, but also makes the Grimm more bulky. From the outside, this Grimm machine gun is a hybrid of Grimm and Maxim.

At the same time, in order to facilitate movement, this machine gun was mounted on a special machine gun mount like a gun carriage, so Li Yun had the illusion just now.

After looking at it for a while, Li Yun became more and more satisfied, although this machine gun was bulky and primitive and had a low rate of fire, it was also an epoch-making weapon of mass destruction in this era.

"Smack...... Smack......"

After slapping the machine gun twice, Li Yun turned his head and asked, "How did you test fire?" ”

Hu Da replied excitedly: "Not yet, as soon as this machine gun is built, I will quickly bring it over, just to let the eldest brother see the power of this machine gun in the first time!" ”

"Good! Test firing now! ”

Li Yun nodded when he heard this, and then immediately gave the order for the test firing.

"No!"

After receiving the order, Hu Da quickly arranged for personnel to test fire, only to see that the test gunman picked up a long magazine and loaded it on the Grimm machine gun according to the instruction manual, and then shook the handle calmly at a uniform speed.

"Smack...... Syllable...... Syllable...... Syllable...... Syllable...... Smack......"

After a burst of gunfire, the target in the distance was hit with sawdust.
