Chapter 36: Liu's crooked neck

Gui Yongqing was appreciated by Principal Jiang in the teaching corps, and was promoted to captain among countless outstanding men in the world, and now he is even honored as the commander of the 27th Army. Taking in Hu Fei can also be said to be an equivalent exchange for receiving gifts from others, and now that he has sent out so many arms and baggage, it will naturally not be without purpose.

When all the officers and men of the cavalry brigade changed their clothes, Commander Gui appointed Hu Fei and the cavalry brigade: Since your unit was called the Independent Cavalry Brigade in the past, I will now appoint you as the independent cavalry brigade of our 27th Army, and these horses and horses you brought have become officers and soldiers of the independent cavalry brigade of the 27th Army at the same time.

Now, our army is being ordered to move forward, and the Japanese are following in pursuit. I order: the Independent Cavalry Brigade is the rear force of the 27th Army. After the marching sequence is after the military headquarters of the 27th Army and its direct subordinate units, the task is to ensure the safe transfer of the main force of the army!

At this point, Gui Yongqing's purpose will be revealed to the world. Weapons and equipment were issued to Hu Fei, and people asked him to stay for the 27th Army!

Hu Fei received the order on the spot and led the troops to build fortifications on the spot. Gui Yongqing took a look, it was not bad, these weapons and equipment were really not in vain, and I, Gui, really didn't see the wrong person! Feeling Hu Fei's resoluteness in obeying orders, Gui Yongqing left him a batch of mortars, heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons that could be used for defense, and then he took the military headquarters and direct subordinate teams of the 27th Army and waved his hand and went first.

"Brother Fei, why did you agree to help Gui Yongqing after the break?" Chief of Staff Liu Dong was very puzzled by Hu Fei's attitude in front of Gui Yongqing, in his impression, Hu Fei didn't seem to be such a good talker, right?

"Lao Liu, you think too much, it's not a question of who to help break off. Commander Gui issued us weapons and baggage, and his purpose was to let us help him break the queen, that is, to use us. What we lack is weapons and baggage, and what Gui Yongqing lacks is the troops after the break, and we are in an equal exchange, and both sides take what they need. ”

"Didn't we come to the mainland to fight devils, and after helping the 27th Army break off, we are fighting devils! Besides, even if we can't win the devil, don't we still have Gui Yongqing behind us. The current 27th Army is the backstage of you and me! As soon as we came to the mainland, we were able to find such a strong backstage with a deep background, which is not a bad thing for us! ”

The same thing depends on how to understand it. From Hu Fei's point of view, his independent cavalry brigade not only did not suffer, but also took a big advantage! Being able to find Gui Yongqing as a backstage is the ultimate dream of countless people in the rivers and lakes, Hu Fei actually did it so easily, isn't this a great benefit? Liu Dong couldn't help but be happy after listening to Hu Fei's explanation, he really couldn't suffer a loss with Brother Fei!

Heavy weapons are available, ammunition is available, so that stronger and more powerful fortifications or blocking positions can be purchased! Artillery positions for mortars and heavy machine guns for heavy machine guns. The infantry had infantry positions, and the cavalry had assault zones for cavalry. Although you may not have enough time to do it, since fighting the devil is a doomed thing, it is better to try to make the battle preparations more thorough.

As a broken rear force, sending more scouts is definitely an indispensable means. Before Hu Fei's machine gun fortifications were all completed, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company sent back information: a Japanese squad is rapidly approaching our position, and the distance is expected to be one thousand meters!

Good guys, a thousand meters! Running is just a matter of minutes! Hu Fei immediately ordered: All the machine gun positions that have been completed immediately enter the state of imminent battle, and the rest of the machine gun and small artillery positions that have not yet been completed should be built as soon as possible.

After announcing the order, Hu Fei personally went to one of the small artillery positions. It's okay to say that the machine gun position is easy to operate, just hang the bullet and pull the trigger in front of the enemy. Small cannons are different, mortars are curved guns, aiming methods and rifle machine guns are different, and there are few people in Hu Fei's cavalry brigade who can really be regarded as excellent gunners.

Most of Hu Fei's subordinates were born as bandits, and they were experts in killing people and stealing goods, blocking roads and robbing them, and they were amateurs in mortars that were complicated to operate and had to calculate the angle of firing. Of course, it can't be said that there is no one who knows how to do it among so many people, at least, Liu Crooked Neck is a rare professional gunner.

This guy is like he accidentally fell asleep while sleeping, and his neck has never straightened up. Liu Crooked Neck's real name has long been called, usually everyone calls him Liu Crooked Neck Liu Crooked Neck, it is estimated that if he really wants to call his real name, even he himself will feel awkward.

Don't look at Liu's crooked neck, he is usually sloppy, he will do a good job. Liu Crooked Neck is a cavalry brigade that joined Xinjiang, and this artilleryman who had previously worked in Sheng Shicai's army for more than ten years. Nowadays, as long as the various types of mortars and grenadiers commonly used in the army are in his hands, it means that they rarely miss.

When Hu Fei came over, Liu was fiddling with the two mortars with a group of artillerymen.

"Hand me that wrench. Stupid, I want a wrench, what are you giving me a screwdriver for? Want Lao Tzu to poke your ass with a screwdriver? ”

Liu Crooked Neck is not only obscene, but also unpleasant to what he says. Even Hu Fei, who is used to hearing dirty words, couldn't help frowning secretly when he heard it, not to mention the gang of recruits who learned from him.

These young men who followed Liu Crooked Neck were all so-called literate people selected by Hu Fei from the various companies and platoons of the cavalry brigade, and this group of people was young, literate, and had strong ability to understand words and characters, and it was much easier for them to learn to operate mortars than ordinary illiterate soldiers.

Literate people often have a psychological sense of superiority, and they usually look down on illiterate soldiers who can't read at all. For the unique-looking Liu crooked neck, these literate recruits are naturally unaccustomed to it. However, their mission here is to learn from this Liu crooked neck, you can't get used to it, people are also teachers, and you are also students.

The recruit who was scolded by Liu Crooked Neck had a stiff neck, although he obediently changed the wrench and handed it over, but he didn't know how to scold Liu Crooked Neck in his heart.

"Liu crooked his neck, why are you scolding the recruits again?" Hu Fei came over and heard Liu crooked his neck scolding the recruits, so he immediately widened his eyes.

"Phineas." Seeing that it was Hu Fei who spoke, Liu crooked his neck and didn't know what to say. The recruits also saw Hu Fei, looking at each other with blank eyes, some people wanted to go over to complain but didn't dare, after all, they still stood in place and saluted.

"I'll tell you about Liu Crooked Neck, these people are all picked out by me to be your apprentice. In the future, I am also going to set up an artillery company, and I will let you be the company commander of this artillery company. The apprentices who learn from you today will be the backbone of your artillery company in the future, and they are all squad leaders and platoon leaders. If you don't teach me well, be careful that I chop up your old bones and feed them to the dogs! ”
