After what should be said, Li Ziyuan didn't look at these puppet soldiers again. There are so many things that these people don't necessarily listen to. Tea is washed three times for light, and three times is said to be more. For those who cling to the granite head to see God, no amount of words is in vain.

It is not unheard of myself, and even when they see the mountains of corpses and blood that kill people, they think that the Japanese invaded China to help China get rid of the civil war and build a world power like Japan. The source of all problems is the resistance of anti-Japanese elements like myself.

For such people, or people who are bent on getting promoted and making a fortune, it is useless to talk too much. After feeling that he had said everything he needed to say, Li Ziyuan and Ma Yongcheng beside him turned around and were about to leave. There are so many things going on right now that he doesn't have time to waste too much time on these people.

But just as he turned to leave, a voice came from behind him: "Sir, can we wash away the shame of our participation in the puppet army now when we join your Eighth Route Army?" When I first joined this teaching group, it was just to make a living, not to get promoted and make a fortune. ”

Hearing the question behind him, he turned his head to look at a young man who was standing in the queue to go back, shouting these words with almost all his strength. Li Ziyuan said with a smile: "As long as you go to the battlefield and kill more devils and those scum among the Chinese, why can't you wash away the shame?" I still say the same thing, the eyes of the common people are bright, what you have done, they will know. ”

Li Ziyuan's words fell, and he saw that the young man tore off the badge and armband on his body that represented his puppet army identity. Walking out of the returning queue in Japanese style, he came to Li Ziyuan, saluted a standard military salute and said: "Sir, I, Wang Dong, officially propose to you that I hope to join the Eighth Route Army." ”

With the first person to stand up, among the captured puppet soldiers who were originally going back, more than forty people came out one after another. And among the people who decided to stay here, after listening to Li Ziyuan's assurance, they will all be released at the right time. However, a few more people returned to the ranks of the puppet army who wanted to go back.

Fortunately, less than ten people regretted it again and returned to the ranks of the puppet army. The vast majority of those who decided to stay didn't let his words go to waste. Compared with the newcomers, this number of less than ten people is still barely acceptable to Li Ziyuan. But now that he has a good background, Li Ziyuan knows that there are some things that he has to do more beautifully.

For this young man who was the first to stand up and propose to join the army after he said that, Li Ziyuan returned the salute. walked up to him, took off the puppet army hat on his head, took off his military cap, put it on his head and said: "On behalf of the Second Independent Regiment of the Ludong Army Division of the Eighth Route Army, I welcome you to join." ”

Let's say it, Li Ziyuan turned to Da Li beside him and said, "Go, get a gun and a full set of equipment immediately." I'm going to give him a gun myself. Also, let the captured guns be brought over. If you want to join our brothers, let's shoot directly on the spot. I believe that they are all people with a conscience, and after standing on the side of the people, they will never go back. ”

Da Li, who was beside him, was somewhat hesitant when he heard Li Ziyuan's order. Now that the regimental commander and the political commissar were here, he was worried that if those people got their guns, if there was a person with ill intentions, just one shot at such a close distance could bring harm to the two regiment leaders.

However, Da Li hesitated, but Ma Yongcheng, who immediately understood what Li Ziyuan meant, immediately patted Da Li on the shoulder, and ordered him and his guards: "Go quickly, tell the second battalion commander, immediately bring all the captured weapons and send them to the brothers." ”

Li Ziyuan's idea of wanting to strike while the iron is hot, Ma Yongcheng saw it very clearly. These people who stayed behind should definitely strike while the iron is hot now. Let them believe that although they have been puppet soldiers, they will not be discriminated against here. Sending the weapon down shows that the Eight Roads trust them.

You must know that the puppet army that defects or is rebelled against is also screened before issuing weapons. It is undoubtedly a risk to issue weapons without screening. If one of them had any thoughts, such a close distance would not even leave time for the two of them to react. One* is enough to solve all problems.

Hearing that Ma Yongcheng also gave an order, Da Li didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately turned around and went to the second battalion commander to get a weapon. However, when he heard that Li Ziyuan was about to issue a gun to himself, Wang Dong in front of him hesitated, but he still spoke: "Sir, I am a machine gunner over there." Can you give me a machine gun, I have a good Czech machine gun. ”

After he finished speaking, a puppet soldier who was also out of the queue behind him also spoke: "Sir, what he said is not wrong. Over there, he was the machine gun marksman in the regiment, and when he was over there, the machine gun assessment in the regiment was always the first. Even the Japanese are so picky, and they have always given him a thumbs up. I'm his secondary shooter, so I can testify to that. ”

Regarding Wang Dong's request, Li Ziyuan didn't think about it directly, and directly nodded and agreed. After Da Li took some of the soldiers of the second battalion and brought back the guns of these captured puppet soldiers. Li Ziyuan pointed to the weapon and said, "You originally used that machine gun, you go and get it yourself." I think on the battlefield, there is no weapon that is more familiar to me. ”

Hearing Li Ziyuan's order, he looked at the smile on his face again. This Wang Dong did not hesitate, and immediately went to the weapon pile to find the Czech machine gun he had used. After holding it in his arms, he said to Li Ziyuan: "Sir, when I was fighting with you before, my muzzle was deliberately raised a lot, and it was not aimed at any of you. ”

"Otherwise, I can suppress your heavy machine gun with a light machine gun. I'm definitely not bragging, within the effective range of the Czech, I don't say where to fight, it's almost the same. This Czech light machine gun can be used with my eyes closed. As long as the ammunition can be guaranteed, I guarantee that on the battlefield, I will definitely not let you down. ”

However, after he said what he said to show his attitude, he said it unintentionally and listened with intention. These words are just confessions, but some people don't want to listen to them. This person who was very dissatisfied with his words was none other than the machine gun platoon commander of the fourth company of the second battalion who was sent by the commander of the second battalion to deliver weapons.

This machine gun platoon commander is also a veteran, and he has used light machine guns since he was a soldier. At first, it was a Jin-made light machine gun, later a crooked pendulum, and later a Czech machine gun. Even now, as a platoon commander, he has been using a Czech machine gun. He has long been familiar with several machine guns equipped with the troops in the army.

For the use of light machine guns, it was definitely the best in Li Ziyuan's troops. He was often transferred from the regiment to be a machine gun instructor and train machine gunners for the troops. After all, for a lightly armed army, light machine guns are the best support firepower. Moreover, it is also the key target of the Japanese army's firepower, and it has always been the largest casualty. Being able to become a machine gun instructor is enough to show that his machine gun level is very high.

Such veterans are generally arrogant lords in the army. Now that I heard this former puppet army, he actually spoke so loudly. What else to say, he was able to suppress a heavy machine gun with a light machine gun, and he was somewhat unhappy. Isn't this openly challenging him? How could he take this?

After Wang Dong said this, he stood up directly and said: "You are a machine gunner, and I am also a machine gunner. I have been in the Eighth Route Army for four years, and I have been using light machine guns since the day I joined the army. You said that the machine gun was good, and I also thought that my machine gun was good. ”

"As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, there is no second in martial arts, and I think there can only be one real top person in this area. Why don't we compete and see who is the real machine gun marksman? Let me tell you, at least half of the light machine gunners in this regiment are apprentices brought out by me. ”

The platoon commander challenged, and Ma Yongcheng was somewhat annoyed. Just as he was about to criticize this somewhat reckless machine gun platoon commander, he was stopped by Li Ziyuan and whispered: "Since they all think they are masters of using machine guns, I think they are all arrogant guys." Let them try, let's just get a feel for the real level of these people. ”

Li Ziyuan, who stopped Ma Yongcheng, looked at Wang Dong, who was holding the Czech machine gun, like holding a big gold ingot, and was reluctant to let go, and smiled: "How about it, do you dare to accept the challenge?" If you win, I'll give you permission to use this machine gun on the battlefield, and you can use unlimited ammunition. ”

Just as Li Ziyuan said, no matter what people in that unit really have, they are all some arrogant people. Especially those who think they are masters will have a hard time facing the challenges of others and not being able to fight. Regarding the challenge to him from the eight roads in front of him, under the instigation of Li Ziyuan, the chief, Wang Dong immediately accepted the challenge.

However, Wang Dong spoke: "The machine gunner must not only be able to use the machine gun, but also be able to discharge the fault when needed. If we want to compete, we will test all the machine gun subjects. Let's start with the assembly of the machine gun and try it all the way to the moving target. If I lose, I will recognize you as my master. ”

After squatting down, he took off the military uniform on his body, spread it on the ground, and quickly disassembled the Czech machine gun in his arms into parts and arranged them on the military uniform according to their size. As for his proposal, the machine gun platoon commander who issued the challenge naturally did not have any objections.

Troubleshooting minor glitches is a must-have for a qualified machine gun shooter. Flying flesh and blood on the battlefield, shells or dust kicked up by ** will make the machine gun malfunction very efficiently. Light machine guns are the main support firepower of the troops, and once they cannot be used, they will directly affect the firepower of the troops.

Although the Czech light machine gun can quickly change the barrel, it is also relatively strong. Except for the somewhat high requirements for bullets, there are still very few problems. Just because there are few problems doesn't mean there won't be problems. In particular, this kind of machine gun has high requirements for bullets, and once there is a jam, the problem can be serious.

If the Heavy can't even rule out a glitch, it will affect the battle. Therefore, the platoon commander has always believed that the machine gunner must not only be able to troubleshoot small faults, but also be able to piece together a working machine gun from several broken machine gun parts when necessary.

Especially when the general troops of the Eighth Route Army do not even have a repair shop. Whether the machine gunner can do this is an important factor in ensuring the continuity of fire of the troops as much as possible. What's more, many of the captured weapons were damaged. In order to replenish the captured weapons into the troops in the shortest possible time, the requirements for veterans are sometimes higher.
