Chapter 41: Your Training Is Not Enough
Arriving in Doron, Anastasia and Natasha have finally calmed down after an initial period of nervousness.
They saw that although the security regiment in Duolun was only a local militia armed group, its outstanding military quality and strict military discipline were stronger than the Northeast Army, the Central Army, and even the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Soviet Russian Red Army that they had seen along the way. And Qiao Yunlong and the others' meticulous arrangements and meticulous care made this princess in distress even more interested in Mu Han and this army.
"Natasha, how are your injuries?" After dinner, Muhan went to visit Anastasia and Natasha's place.
"Oh! Thank you so much, Mr. Muhan! Your subordinates have taken care of my wounds again, and now there is nothing to do, and I hope that after a period of recuperation, I will recover soon. Natasha said.
"Well, let's stay here in peace first! In a few days, I will continue my trip. ”
"What, where else is Mr. Mu Han going? Isn't this your home base? Anastasia asked.
"Hehe, Your Highness Princess, this is just an important place for me, and I will go to other places next."
"Oh! I feel more and more that you don't feel like an ordinary bandit, like a warlord hidden in the shadows! ”
"Hahaha! Warlords hidden in the shadows! Well, that's an interesting name. What you're saying isn't entirely wrong, at least not for now. ”
"Oh? Mr. Mu Han, if you have a few more such troops in your hands, I believe you will make great achievements. In the case of this security group, I think it can easily defeat the forces of any other country or force of the same formation. Isn't it? ”
"The domestic and international situation in country Z is very bad and complicated, and there are too many things to go through if any force wants to make a difference. Besides, I don't want to clash with any of the forces in the country, and if someone takes the initiative to trouble me, that's another story! Mu Han said in a deep voice, "Okay, two ladies, from today onwards, you can live here with peace of mind!" If you have any needs, or any ideas, just go directly to Qiao Yunlong! ”
When he returned to the regimental headquarters of the security regiment, Qiao Fei, the commander of the third division of Longsan, and the important main officers under the first cadre had been waiting for Mu Han in the conference room for a long time.
Qiao Fei did not take out the posture of an elder, but respectfully saluted Mu Han with a military salute of the Chinese Dragon Guard, and then began to introduce the main officers under him:
"This is Geng Biao, the commander of the 31st Regiment of the Third Dragon Division, our old man from Wolongshan, who has been trained by the Longshan Military Academy for one year."
"Hello Commander!" Geng Biao's eyes were full of fire, and he stood up and saluted.
"This is Yuan Jiancheng, the commander of the 32nd Regiment of the Third Dragon Division, and also our old man in Wolongshan, who has been trained by the Longshan Military Academy for one year."
"Hello Commander-in-Chief!" Yuan Jiancheng was also full of passion and saluted.
"This is Xu Dahai, the commander of the 33rd Regiment of the Third Division of the Dragon," Qiao Fei was just about to continue to introduce, "Report to the chief, the lowly Xu Dahai, the former infantry major of the Third Independent Division of the National Revolutionary Army, graduated from the eighth infantry section of the Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer School. Later, seeing that he was not used to what the Ma Bufang brothers were doing, Ma Jiajun resigned angrily from the northwest and joined your ministry last year. Xu Dahai, who had a beard on his face, immediately stood up and saluted and said loudly.
Mu Han stayed on Xu Dahai's face for a few more moments, then nodded and motioned for him to sit down.
"Yunlong is the head of the regiment directly under the Third Dragon Division, and he is also the captain of the special operations squadron of the Third Dragon Division."
"Hello Commander!" Seeing Mu Han's eyes swept over, Qiao Yunlong immediately put away his hip-hop attitude during the day and got up to salute.
"This is Hou Chenyun, the commander of the armored regiment of the Third Dragon Division, and Hou Chenfeng's own brother, and the representative of our Wolong Mountain who returned from studying."
"Hello Commander! In the 16th year of the Republic of China, he entered the artillery department of the Northeast Lecture Hall to study, and was recalled by the headquarters last year and assigned to the Third Dragon Division. Hou Chenyun said with a standard salute.
"This is James, the captain of the flight group of the Third Dragon Division, who was recruited by the headquarters of the American company last year and is a retired officer of the First Division of the United States Air Force."
"Oh, you're my big boss! I didn't expect you to be so young! But your momentum is depressing! James greeted Mu Han in a way that is unique to Americans.
After Qiao Fei introduced the main officers present, he stood in the upper left hand position of the conference room, and the center was left to Mu Han. Mu Han carefully looked at everyone present, and then said, "Everyone, some of you may know me, and some of you have only heard of me. But no matter what happened before, from now on, we will all be brothers and robes who eat in a pot. Now I would like to formally introduce myself and give an impression to my brothers who were previously unfamiliar. My name is Mu Han, and I was born in 1909. Since the 14th year of the Republic of China, he has traveled to various European countries, and spent nearly 2 years at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, and more than 2 years at the Tokyo Military Academy in Japan since the 16th year of the Republic of China. Now his ostensible identity is the commander of the 1st Infantry Wing of the Fujikawa Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and a senior staff officer of the Northeast Defense Agency in Mukden. Speaking of this, some of the officers of the Third Division of the Dragon Division who saw Mu Han for the first time were greatly shocked in their hearts, and began to look at each other and whisper.
"Silence!" Qiao Fei, the commander of the Third Dragon Division, was a little annoyed when he saw this, and immediately got up and shouted.
"Hehe, Uncle Qiao, it's the first time I've met some brothers, and this reaction is normal." Mu Han smiled and waved his hand at Qiao Fei, "I know that the brothers among you who met for the first time must be very surprised in my heart. Why did I become a young leader in Wolong Mountain, and the commander of the Dragon Guard Army went to Japan to be a wing commander? In a moment, I will naturally explain it to everyone. Let me ask you a few questions, or answer a few questions. ”
"Xu Dahai, the commander of the 33rd regiment! What do you think of our troops? ”
"Report sir! Our troops far surpass other warlord forces in China and even the Central Army in terms of their overall combat strength, the quality of individual soldiers, and their weaponry, especially heavy weaponry, aircraft, and artillery. Moreover, military discipline is strict, and there has never been a case of deducting military salaries. It can be said that one of our divisions can easily defeat one or even several armies of other forces in the country. Even against a small Japanese horse puller, it can easily win. It is a great honor to serve in such an army! Xu Dahai, the commander of the 33rd regiment, blurted out.
Mu Han nodded lightly and didn't say anything, but continued to ask, "Major James, what do you think?" ”
"Dear boss, what Regiment Commander Xu said just now is right, from the perspective of the army, your troops can be said to be the strongest in the world, there is no one, even the first infantry division of the United States is not an opponent, but from the perspective of armored strength and air force, although the equipment is very good, the experience of tank commanders and aircraft pilots is slightly insufficient, especially the troops have not experienced actual combat, so it is difficult to say that the combat effectiveness in this area is not easy to say!" James put away his demeanor just now and said seriously.
"Well, that's good! James is very practical! Mu Han smiled at James, and then continued, "Uncle Qiao, why did I let you lead the Third Dragon Division to secretly enter this bitter cold place outside the Cypriot Islands? ”
"Commander-in-chief, you are talented, intelligent, and after years of overseas training, I think you have a deep meaning!" Qiao Fei said respectfully.
"Hehe, why is Uncle Qiao so angry? They are all brothers of their own old and young masters! ”
"Nope! Commander! Since ancient times, there are no rules, not a square circle, in the past in Wolong Mountain, we are gathering in the mountains and forests, how can the old and young masters, now we have secretly formed an army, we have to do things in accordance with the rules and regulations, not because of public and private, lose the number of courtesy! Qiao Fei said seriously.
Mu Han shook his head helplessly, and continued: "Let me ask you another question, how many of our family members, relatives, and friends died of hunger and cold, were bullied and insulted by bullies from all sides, and were forced into desperation? ”
As soon as Mu Han's words fell, the faces of many middle- and low-level officers in the audience became angry.
"I've seen everyone's reaction, but have you ever wondered, is that why? Many of our family members, relatives, and friends have died in vain due to various forms of bullying, exploitation and oppression. ”
"It's the landlord who is too black-hearted! I didn't send it that day! ”
"It's a ruffian, a bully, and he has lost his conscience!"
"It's the warlords fighting, and the people are bumping away!"
"It's a foreign devil, a Japanese devil, it's not a human being"
For a while, everyone was talking and angry.
Mu Han waved his hand, and the scene gradually quieted down, "Everyone is right!" But the most fundamental thing is that the government is incompetent, there are strong enemies outside, warlords are fighting inside, and the national strength is weak! Although it is now the Republic of China, on the surface the Kuomintang has also achieved the unification of the whole country. But in reality? How much of our land is occupied by foreigners? How many foreigners are running amok in our country? How many warlords, large and small, still have melee fights in our country from time to time? How many brothers and sisters do we have, still underfed, clothed, and subjected to all kinds of exploitation and oppression? Ever since I really had my own thoughts, I secretly vowed that I must completely change all this, so in the past five years, I have gone overseas, infiltrated the enemy camp, and carefully deployed, in order to make our brothers and sisters no longer oppressed, in order to let our nation no longer be bullied, in order to completely drive out the barbarians who have invaded my land, and return my country to a prosperous future! At the end of his speech, Mu Han almost shouted.
"Bang bang!" Suddenly, all the people present stood up, their faces were bloody, and their hands clapped vigorously.
Mu Han paused, "I arranged for you to be secretly stationed in Duolun, the main purpose at the moment is to prevent the Japanese, I believe you also know, the current little Japan, taking advantage of the turmoil in our country, has long coveted our land, and they will launch a war of aggression against China in less than half a year, so I implore you to do a good job in all kinds of war preparations, so as not to let the lives of my Chinese land be ruined!" Please! ”
"My subordinates must do their best to protect my family and country! Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't give up! Everyone stood up neatly and shouted.
Early the next morning, Mu Han led the special combat team members, accompanied by Qiao Fei and the commanders of the main regiments, to conduct on-the-spot inspections at the secret stations of the regiments, such as Heishanzui, Xigangou, Honghuashan, and Longzhuo Mountain. It's just that everywhere he went, Mu Han did not express any opinions.
Finally, the group came to the secret station of the 31st Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Dragon Third Division in Caimushan, Duolun. The 31st Regiment training ground was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and on different venues, many officers personally led their soldiers to practice in the queue, shooting, assassinating, fighting, and throwing bombs. After carefully watching the training in various places, Mu Han did not express any opinion.
"Commander Geng, immediately summon all battalion and company-level officers to the live-fire range," Mu Han pondered for a moment and gave an order.
After a while, the officers of the 31st Regiment battalion and company were assembled at the live-fire range. The soldiers who were training in the field did not stop because many officers stopped to watch, and the training in such subjects as shooting targets, climbing over obstacles, and crawling forward in various postures was still carried out normally.
"Brothers, what do you think of the training in the field?" Mu Han looked at the officers at all levels who couldn't stop nodding and said.
"Hmmm! Not bad! The action is standard, the posture is standardized, and the execution is powerful! The heads of the regiments said one after another.
"On the surface, it is indeed passable, but the troops are less baptized with blood and fire. Zhao Zhengfeng, you take someone to rearrange the venue, and implement it according to one-third of the standard of the special training I taught you. ”
"Yes!"
After a while, Zhao Zhengfeng and other special combat team members began to rearrange the training ground with various objects.
Half an hour later, everyone looked straight at the venue, their eyes wide.
I saw that on the training ground, there were many animal internal organs hanging on the original barbed wire, some of which were still dripping blood, and sharp thorns, iron pieces, bullet casings, and bayonets were dotted in all corners. The entire barbed wire fence is only about 50 centimeters above the ground, just enough for a person to crawl freely underneath. At the front and rear exits of the barbed wire, there are several Zhonghua Dragon machine guns improved by the German MG34 general-purpose machine gun, exuding a faint cold light.
"Zhao Zhengfeng, you take your team members to demonstrate!" After Mu Han saw that the venue was arranged, he issued an order.
"Yes!"
Soon Zhao Zhengfeng personally led more than a dozen people into the barbed wire, and in an instant, the machine guns at the front and rear exits of the barbed wire began to fire continuously. I saw barrages with its scorching tongues of fire intertwined and flying on the barbed wire, and from time to time grenades were thrown out to explode. The dozen or so figures below are either crawling forward, or tactically evading, raising their guns to shoot targets for a while, and covering alternately for a while.
At this time, some of the onlookers were trembling, some closed their eyes, and the officers of all ranks frowned.
Soon, more than a dozen figures under the barbed wire completed a crossing cleanly. At this time, Mu Han said: "Some of our teams have not experienced actual combat, and some have also fought in domestic melees, but we will mainly face the Japanese in the future, as well as the aggressive foreign ** team, so although our equipment is not bad, but how much combat effectiveness can be exerted on the battlefield, which requires our officers and commanders at all levels to train in peacetime!" Here I tell you a word: sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime! Less bloodshed in peacetime, life in wartime! Everything starts from actual combat! In the future, all our regular troops will have to carry out training in accordance with this principle and this standard. I hope that before the war begins, our army will become an army of iron-blooded tigers and wolves! ”
After speaking, Mu Han left the 31st Regiment with Zhao Zhengfeng and other special combat team members, and the officers and soldiers at all levels of the Third Dragon Division led by Qiao Fei fell into deep thought.
