Chapter XXII Provisional Third Regiment
When he arrived at the assembly place prepared by the 64th Army for recruits, Li Xuewen asked Hu Fei to re-equip his soldiers, first of all, military uniforms, shoes and hats.
When he joined the 27th Army on the outskirts of Lanfeng, because the time was too tight, he didn't make up the military uniform at that time. After wandering around the Yellow Flood Area for so long, the military uniforms of these officers and soldiers under Hu Fei were even more unsightly. It would be too much to say that they are called Hanako, and it would be too far to say that they are the elite of the national army.
Li Hansoul, commander of the 64th Army, graduated from the sixth phase of the Baoding Military Academy, participated in the Northern Expedition, and was a real famous general of the national army. Under the command of General Li Hanxun, how can there be such a dilapidated army like Hu Fei, which is not like the army and the people are not like the people? The first step in reorganization is to change into a unified new military uniform!
It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, which is not false at all. Just changed into a military uniform, these people under Hu Fei were like a different person, and they went there one by one in high spirits, and they really looked like the elite of the Central Army.
They changed their uniforms, and then they were issued weapons. It turned out that the weapons of the cavalry brigade were not backward, they were not neat. There are some domestic formal ones, some Soviet-made water beads, some Japanese three-eight styles, and some old-fashioned Hanyang-made ones. Although the 64th Army may not be completely unified with rifles, it is not allowed to show the strength of the elite units of the national army in front of the recruits, right?
Of course, it may also be that Director Li Xuewen looked at Hu Fei and took special care of his troops. Anyway, during the three days of training, Hu Fei's troops were all replaced with Chinese formal rifles!
Mortar grenadiers could not be replaced, light and heavy machine guns could not be replaced, and although the 64th Army was also considered elite, it was not rich enough to make up for all the light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenadiers. Even so, three days later, the cavalry brigade was already completely new.
Now this unit can no longer be called a cavalry brigade, and their dozens of war horses can be organized into a cavalry platoon, which can be used as reconnaissance cavalry to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and it is no longer meaningful to exist as a combat unit. The official name of Hu Fei's unit today is the 3rd Provisional Regiment of the 187th Division of the 64th Army of the National Revolutionary Army! After so many years of training, Hu Fei finally became the commander of the national army!
Since Hu Fei was promoted to the regiment commander, all the officers under him were naturally promoted to the next level. The company commander was promoted to battalion commander, the platoon commander was promoted to company commander, and the squad leader was promoted to platoon commander. At this time, all the officers and soldiers were happy, who wouldn't want to be promoted? In the future, it will probably be the expansion of the unit, and a large number of recruits will become a qualified infantry regiment, right?
Hu Fei thought it was good, but now is the time of war, this is the battlefield! The enemy won't give him enough time to get stronger!
The supplementary regiment brought back by Director Li Xuewen had already left yesterday, and the entire training office was now left with Hu Fei, the provisional third regiment. That afternoon, after lunch, the troops were in their routine nap time, when suddenly gunshots rang out! In addition to the sound of gunfire, the explosion of artillery and grenades, the sound of various battles rang out.
Hu Fei jumped up from the bed, put on his clothes, grabbed the gun, and rushed outside. Outside, there was a lot of gunfire, and a few devils in yellow uniforms were wandering around the courtyard of their training camp with rifles.
Attaboy! Hu Fei raised his hand and shot it, followed by his body and dodged to the side behind the pillar.
When Hu Fei saw the devil, the devil also saw him! Hu Fei knocked down a devil with the first shot, and the rest of the devils raised their guns to shoot, and Hu Fei had already hidden behind the pillar. The bullets of the Type 38 rifle hit the pillar with a bang. At this moment, a gun rang out behind Hu Fei, and the officers and soldiers who were napping at noon were awakened.
These devils who dared to break into the courtyard of the training center were shot dead on the spot, and then Hu Fei led the soldiers to rush to various fortifications.
Since it was a training office, fortifications were indispensable. Not to mention on the battlefield, even in peacetime, there must be guard units at the gate and around the gate of a military unit. The front and rear doors of this training office were fortified with four machine guns, light and dark, and soldiers were on duty 24 hours a day. Now the fighting outside is so fierce, needless to say, the devils who came to attack the machine gun fortifications at the gate.
When you look outside, you can't see it! The four fortifications of light and darkness at the main entrance have already been cut off by the devils, and the remaining two are struggling to support. Hu Fei gave an order, and a platoon of new force was injected into each fortification. At the same time, Hu Fei asked the soldiers to put a few more machine gun fire points on both sides of the gate, and asked Liu to use his mortars and grenadiers to fire support the battlefield!
This training center is only a temporary training place for recruits, and there is only a simple fence around it and no walls have been built.
There are advantages and disadvantages of not having a wall, the disadvantage is that the devil's bullets can enter the yard, and the benefits are also obvious, and you can see at a glance what the devil is moving outside. Moreover, without the cover of the fence, machine guns can be placed everywhere in the yard, and grenadiers and mortars can be fired out!
Hu Fei originally thought that with his familiarity with the terrain and environment, he would be able to easily repel the devil's attack. Who knew that he was sleeping just now, and the devil didn't use all his strength. He's on the battlefield, and the devils are starting to exert their strength!
Hearing the screaming sound in the air, Hu Fei's body jumped forward for several meters, and then floated out more than ten meters without touching the ground. As soon as he stopped, there was a loud bang behind him! Hu Fei hurriedly squatted underground, and a breath of Lang rushed from behind him, and he climbed to the ground.
When that breath passed, Hu Fei looked back and saw that there was already a big pit a few meters square where he was standing just now! If he had been a little slower, he would have become a puddle of mud on the edge of the pit.
The fierceness of the battle surprised Hu Fei, and the two platoons he sent to reinforce the machine gun fortifications at the gate had already suffered more than half of the casualties in less than twenty minutes! Did you encounter a large army of devils? Hu Fei was a little shocked in his heart.
Li Xuewen, the director of political training, didn't know when he touched Hu Fei's side, "Commander Hu, there are too few machine gun fortifications at the gate, you can send reinforcements quickly!" The usually unsmiling chief of political training also had a Browning pistol in his hand at this time. Judging from the expression on his face, Director Li is quite nervous now.
"Director Li, this is a recruit training base, and all the recruits under my command have not yet completed their training. The devil is calling, should you call for reinforcements immediately? ”
Hu Fei's face was also not good-looking. I thought that if I joined the regular army of the national army, I should have friendly troops and big guys to fight with the devils again. Why did he join the 27th Army in Lanfeng and fight alone, and now he has joined the 64th Army or is his gang fighting alone? What about allies? What about the big troops?
