As soon as the morning dawned, Liu Yun took the guards and drove more than 10 military vehicles to personally pick up Bai Chongxi and others to the shooting range of the 1st Brigade in western Sichuan, where the 1st Battalion was already waiting for the reorganization, and all the officers and men were more than 800 people, all of whom were in one line, led by General Guo Qixun himself, and specially waited for the arrival of the distinguished guests.

Looking at the four phalanxes of black pressure, Bai Chongxi and the others naturally did not fear because they were old soldiers, but they could see the clues at a glance, thinking that although this Sichuan army could be called elite, it was only about second-rate, and there was still a big gap with the Seventh Army of the Gui system, and the military appearance and military discipline were strict.

Fortunately, Liu Yun didn't know, otherwise he would have to roll his eyes again, your sister, this is the unit that has just been put into the army, what do you want, and compared with the Seventh Army of Steel, it is too much to look up to, and the fact is also the same, the unit is a mixed army of the old and new that has just been released, and it is still too early to determine the flow of products.

With Guo Qixun's order, more than 800 soldiers began to practice, first of all, the soldiers were divided into three ways, the finished glyph digs trenches, and at the same time used heavy machine guns to press the positions, in less than 10 minutes, the trenches have been basically formed, especially the central part has been dug out of the ring fortifications, and a large and small artillery fire has been in place.

Bai Chongxi quietly counted eight 75-mm mountain guns, twenty-four 82-mm mortars, thirty-six M2 heavy machine guns, nearly 100 G34 general-purpose machine guns, as for the rifles, they are all German-style K98, and the pistols are all American-made M1911, and they are not limited to officers.

Lu Bai and the others looked at each other, and they all took a breath of cold air, your sister, what kind of firepower is this, even if the Seventh Steel Army, known as the first in the Republic of China, has more than 3,000 people in a regiment, it can't compare to more than 800 people in this area, and hurriedly asked Commander Liu, how many such troops are there in western Sichuan, the answer is very cruel, the troops in western Sichuan are all about the same, at least the first brigade in western Sichuan, the garrison brigade and the teaching brigade are like this.

Bai Chongxi held back the shock in his heart and asked him the sentence he regretted the most, that is, how many such battalions are there in each formed brigade, Liu Yun replied that it was four or five, but the other battalions were either aircraft wings or armored tank battalions, and at this moment, a group of aircraft flew in the sky.

First of all, there were dense bombshells, which blew up the target area into a sea of fire, followed by low-altitude strafing by planes, which circled for more than half an hour before they left in a huff, and then there was ground artillery fire to strike, and the number of rounds was just three rounds, and the time was not much, no less, half an hour.

More than a dozen warplanes flew into the sky, another round of bombing and strafing, and the ground troops began to crawl forward, and the light and heavy machine guns had been beaten into fiery snakes, suppressing the position where the enemy might be rising.

To Bai Chongxi and Lu Han's surprise, the charge was less than ten meters, and the soldiers were lying on the ground, and the hoho sound similar to the charge was still shouting, but they didn't move half a step, and then another artillery fire covered it, turning the enemy's position into a sea of fire again, and then sounding the charge horn again.

Let everyone think that this is the last charge, more than a dozen fighters flew in the sky, and once again circled and bombed and strafed, Bai Chongxi and Lu Han were in a cold sweat, if they bombed repeatedly like this, not to mention a regiment, even an army could not carry it, at this moment, not far away there was a roaring sound of heavy objects pressing the ground, everyone turned their eyes and saw a large group of tank troops, which had been obliquely inserted.

It's over, everything is over, Bai Chongxi and the others are stupid, they have also tacitly calculated, if according to the current trend, an army is no longer even a scumbag, it is a group army, if you don't think of a way quickly, the big rout is only a matter of time, even the Gui Seventh Army has to admit defeat.

Lu Han frowned slightly, and made a slight estimate in his heart, and found that the distance between the enemy and us in attack and defense, whether it was close or not, and whether it was far or not, was only about three kilometers, and the general light and heavy firepower was not enough, only mountain artillery and field artillery were no problem, but in the exercise, it seemed that the enemy's long-range firepower was not considered.

This point also aroused Bai Chongxi's question, Liu Yun smiled slightly, but asked Bai Lu and the others, according to their own judgment, how big is the imaginary enemy, what should be the establishment, Lu Han was still a little hesitant, but Mr. Bai was moved in his heart, and he had guessed who the enemy was.

Ma Jifang also came over to join in the fun, and answered Liu Yun's question as a matter of course, "According to this firepower density, the other party should be a reorganized division, or even an ordinary army, and the lack of heavy firepower and long-range firepower is the norm of our Chinese army, so the drill is quite reasonable."

Lu Han was a little disapproving, Liu Yun looked at the young master Ma a little differently, this gentleman is worthy of being from a big family, he still knows military knowledge, and his vision is decent, everyone looks at Bai Chongxi, hoping that he will personally comment, this guy is a second-level general.

Mr. Bai coughed dryly twice, and then asked Liu Yun very politely, "In this exercise, the enemy's long-range firepower was also considered, but the number was small, so a small number of troops were tested in advance, once the enemy is exposed, the air strike will fall immediately, and in the end, it will be the same whether there is or not."

is worthy of being the future deputy chief of general staff, the insight is different, Lu Han, Liu Yun and Ma Jifang all gave a thumbs up, Bai Chongxi smiled slightly, and continued to comment, "Brother Yicheng, this is a rainy day, if I guess correctly, the imaginary enemy should be a standard wing of the Japanese army."

Liu Yun smiled and celebrated with applause, Lu Han and Ma Jifang were a little distracted, the Japanese squad had more than 60 people, more than 200 squadrons, 1,100 brigades, and more than 3,000 people in the wing, and there were really not many artillery pieces of more than 3 kilometers, only the artillery wing had formed long-range artillery fire, and as for the artillery squadron directly under the infantry wing, it was at most equipped with a few 75mm field guns.

In the Great Wall War of Resistance in 1933, the battle loss ratio of the Chinese and Japanese armies was more than ten to one, according to the scientific calculation of the German advisory group, the real combat strength of the two armies was compared to ten to one, so a Japanese army wing was equivalent to 30,000 Chinese troops, so Ma Jifang's judgment was not too outrageous.

According to Liu Yun's style of play, whether or not a wing of the Japanese army can be annihilated is yes, not to mention whether the ground forces are strong or not, let's talk about the number of technical arms, nearly 40 sorties of planes and more than 60 tanks, if the battle is hastily prepared, even the Japanese brigades and regiments have to be transferred.

The small-scale offensive and defensive drill ended quickly, and in just three hours, an infantry battalion, an armored tank battalion, and a flying wing were dispatched, and more than 3,000 defenders were completely annihilated.

Lu Han and Bai Chongxi are both veterans, and they have to do everything themselves, and they also personally check the guns in the hands of the soldiers, and even go to the shooting range to shoot targets, and they are even more enthusiastic about the strangely shaped 75mm mountain guns, Liu Yun quietly explained that this is an imitation of the Japanese army's Type 92 infantry gun.

Type 92 infantry guns, they know too well, known for being lightweight, the Gui system still has Japanese instructors, equipped with Japanese weapons is not surprising, as for the Yunnan system is located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, if equipped with 75 mm infantry guns, it is difficult to transport, so they can only buy this weapon at a high price.

The imitation infantry gun is too peculiar, it looks like the caliber is slightly larger, the weight is slightly lighter, but the range and power are slightly better than the 92 type, especially the firing range is as high as 3576 meters, which is 788 meters more.

It is no wonder that when the infantry battalion attacks, it will set the defense line 3 kilometers away, because this distance just exceeds the range of the 92-type, and it happens to be within the range of the imitation infantry artillery, so that our army can hang and beat the devil, if you want to fight against it, unless you send 75 mm field artillery, the problem is that the field artillery is inconvenient to transport, and there are only eight infantry wings, and there is not much difference between them and each other.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, from a simple 72-type infantry gun, Bai Lu and the two knew the strength of western Sichuan, and the rest of the light weapons, there is no need to look at it anymore, and then came to the tank group, more than 60 tanks, all kinds of everything, most of them are armored cars, which can only be bullet-proof, but there are also genuine tanks, which are the combined type II tank.

There are more than 10 tanks of this type, which are basically all organized in the first brigade, which was built by German experts during the pre-research, weighing more than 20 tons, with a gun caliber of 88 mm, an armor thickness of nearly 100 mm, and a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour.

Bai Chongxi and Lu Han are very satisfied with the tank, but unfortunately the transportation is inconvenient, otherwise they will make a decision on the spot and order dozens of cars from Liu Yun to play, of course, what they are most concerned about is the fighter during the exercise.

Liu Yun didn't shy away from it, and directly dragged them to the airport, so that they could personally experience the Jianjiao I. fighter, which was simple and practical, and its comprehensive combat power had surpassed that of Hawker III., but the price was only half of that of Hawker III, and the price was 15 kilograms of gold, and it was not allowed to bargain.

Seeing that Bai Chongxi and Lu Han were a little hesitant, Liu Yun had no choice but to personally fly the Jianjiao plane, fly with them one by one, let them really feel what an excellent fighter is, and deliberately let them control it themselves when they were in the air, so that they knew that as long as they could drive a car, they could fly the plane.

Being able to fly the fighter plane in person really surprised Bai Lu and the others, of course, Liu Yun was not stupid, let them take off and land by themselves, otherwise the plane would really be destroyed and killed, but Bai Chongxi and Lu Han were also satisfied, they had also seen Hawke III., and naturally they would draw the advantages and disadvantages from comparison.

Ma Jifang also wanted to fly around, but Liu Yun told him that the plane was out of fuel, so it was better to wait for the next time, which made Master Ma depressed, but not long ago, this guy was still holding a rifle and pointing it at Commander Liu's head.

All kinds of armaments have basically been read, and the rest is the purchase agreement of all parties, but the biggest problem is not the gold payment problem, but the arms transportation problem, but before Bai Chongxi and others came to western Sichuan, Liu Xiang had already promised that he would solve the problem of weapons transportation.

Light weapons are easy to do, can be loaded in Maozhou City, Shunwen River directly put Dujiangyan, and then transported from the Minjiang River to Yibin, Yibin is just the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, if you want to transport to Kunming, you can also go up the Yangtze River, go straight to Ningyuanfu Ferry (now Panzhihua), and then turn to land transportation.

Heavy weapons are in trouble, especially the Joint II tank, everyone has long coveted it, but it can't be transported to Kunming at all, they are now a little considerate of Liu Yun, understand why this guy is desperate to build the railway, if the Sino-Japanese war starts, the built tank cannon can not be transported, it will be depressing, but Commander Liu hinted that the matter of aircraft transportation can be considered separately.
