Chapter 14: Artillery Commandos
Several major roads from the western Sichuan Plain to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have to pass through the Great Black Mountain.
Heifengkou is at the southern edge of the Great Black Mountain, about ten miles away from the main road into Tibet, it is the highest peak within a radius of ten miles, the relative height is nearly a thousand meters, and Gong Laoer's village is on the mountainside.
This village is too close to the main road, and compared with the mountain, it is much more dangerous, so Gong Laoer's team has always only about 50 people, and there are only about 30 guns, which cannot be compared with others.
In Xie Niancheng's plan, Su Xiangzhi led a large army into the mountains from the territory of He Blind in the northeast.
The northeast side of the mountain is steeper, and entering the mountain from the northeast direction can make the bandits paralyzed and careless, and they will not think of the real killing trick on the south road.
Xie Fu has been very busy these days.
After deciding on the plan to suppress the bandits, Xie Niancheng sent Haruko to make dry food, Athena prepared the marching tent, bedding, kettle and other baggage supplies, and asked CC to prepare insect repellent and wound medicine for backup, and he and Kagura and Sister Cannon went to find suitable manpower.
Early this morning, Xie Niancheng brought Kagura and Sister Pao to the school field of the county militia.
Xie Xinren passed down the order a few days earlier, saying that the Xie family had a batch of goods to be transported to Jiangnan, and a few capable regiments should be selected, and if they could be selected, they would pay 100 oceans for the first settlement, 20 oceans per month, and 30 oceans per month when they were walking outside.
This salary, for the Tuanding who work as farmers or do some small work on weekdays, is so rich that they dare not imagine, this news has grown wings, spread throughout the county, and many young people who are not Tuanding also come to the school to try their luck.
Fan Pengju is one of them.
Fan Pengju's family is a small landlord, he likes to dance with knives and sticks since he was a child, and when he was fighting in the rivers and lakes, he was expelled from the house for grabbing his own food with some robes and brothers, and the people in the rivers and lakes called "Fan Haer".
Hearing that the Xie family was going to beckon a good hand, and the settlement fee was a hundred oceans, Fan Pengju, who was short of money, came in a panic.
Fan Peng took a look at the school field, which was surrounded by a wooden fence more than one person high, with a size of more than 20 acres, and a few tables and chairs were placed at the door, and there were several people lined up in front of each table, and the people behind the table were burying their heads in writing.
Fan Pengju also found a small queue to line up, and in a few minutes they lined up at the table, and the person who looked like a person sitting in the account room asked, "Name, age, where is it from, and what do you do?" ”
"Fan Pengju, twenty years old, a native of Shuangyang, a robe brother."
The bookkeeper brushed a few notes and handed Fan Pengju a piece of bamboo, Fan Pengju recognized some words, which said "233", and the bookkeeper reminded:
"Remember, after you go in, this is your code name when you participate in the selection, there are three items in it: kung fu, marksmanship, and physical fitness, and you can take the test whatever you are good at."
Fan Pengju took the sign, and when he entered the school field, he saw that there was a big wall standing in the northeast, and the sound of gunfire was endless, which seemed to be testing the school's marksmanship.
In the central part, there are many wooden instruments, and there is a bridge more than one person high, a barbed wire fence half a person high, and a ten-meter-long single-plank bridge...... Many people are running, jumping, climbing, and rolling in the center, and whenever someone makes a fool of themselves, the people around them laugh good-naturedly.
To the west is a ring, which seems to be the place where the school kung fu is examined.
Fan Peng raised his head generally, there was really a lot of meat on his body, and the one in the middle was only afraid that it would not work, he was a showy person and a martial artist, so he went straight to the ring.
Holding a big umbrella on the side of the north, under the umbrella sat a man and a woman, the man was dressed in a short fight, looking like Sven, and the woman was a little girl, dressed in red, with double buns.
Fan Pengju squeezed to the front and asked the person next to him: "Brother, why is there no one around?" How is this ring played? ”
The man pointed to the umbrella: "That little girl is very powerful, fighting in the ring is fighting with her, and the people who went up just now were defeated in one or two moves...... Ah, that young man is Young Master Xie, Young Master Xie said, whoever can hold on to that little girl for half a minute will be qualified, and whoever can beat her will be rewarded with a thousand oceans. ”
Fan Pengju heard it, and without saying a word, he pulled the rope fence next to the ring and turned in: "I'm No. 233, come and compare." ”
Fan Pengju saw a flower in front of him, a red shadow flashed, and the little girl stood opposite Fan Pengju in the blink of an eye.
"I'll count one, two, three." The little girl's voice was crisp.
Fan Pengju was born and died several times, and he would not underestimate anyone.
"One ......"
Before the little girl could finish speaking, Fan Peng raised his fist and rushed forward.
"Damn, this old man is too shameless."
"Turtle son, with a pig on his face, his heart is bright."
"Is that okay? Considered a violation, right? ”
"Girl, it's shameless to kill this fat man."
The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.
Xie Niancheng under the umbrella looked at the fat man with interest, there were no rules in the ring, but I don't know if the fat man made such a move, because he was shameless or smart.
Kagura fought more than a dozen games, and the first few games did not have an agreed start time, and as soon as she went up, she knocked her opponent down, which was very boring, and then she counted three times first, so that the opponent was ready to fight again, and she could still live two moves.
The fat man on the opposite side moved quite fast, but Kagura could still react, Kagura had the heart to try the fat man's catties, not dodging or dodging, and swinging his fist to compare his strength with the fat man.
The fat man's fist sank vigorously, the two of them intersected with their forearms, the fat man's hand was bounced away, and the whole person took a few steps back.
The fat man's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he was being repelled by a little girl who hadn't grown up yet.
Kagura on the other side followed up with a punch and smashed the fat man's chest, the fat man was not slow, and he took the punch sideways with his shoulder, Rao was the fat man's rough skin and thick flesh, or he was beaten a few times.
Kagura didn't rein in his momentum, and he swept the hall under his feet, and the fat man didn't care about his face, so he rolled to the ground with the momentum of the punch just now.
These three moves are like lightning and flint, and the people under the ring applauded one after another, and finally someone can take three moves under the little girl.
The fat man got up, Kagura's legs were already in front of him, the fat man drank heavily, and punched out, and the legs in front of him actually deviated to the side, and the fat man punched into the air.
"It's going to be bad."
The fat man knew something was wrong.
Kagura used a mandarin duck crutch and kicked back at the fat man's vest, after all, the fat man had a lot of meat, and he still didn't fall down after a few steps forward, only to hear a clear voice behind his ear: "Go you." ”
This time, Kagura's legs were in the air and he kicked firmly behind the fat man, who couldn't stand anymore and fell into a.
There was laughter all around, and the fat man even had the heart to die.
Kagura said, "You're not bad, you're qualified...... Let's go, let's go over there and see Brother Xie. ”
The fat man couldn't believe his ears, and when he stood up and looked at the surrounding spectators, he saw only a look of envy.
Fan Peng lifted off the ring and walked in front of Xie Niancheng: "Under Fan Pengju, I have seen Young Master Xie." ”
Xie Niancheng looked at him a little familiar, like the famous "Master Ha'er" in that time and space, and asked curiously: "Are you Fan Ha'er?" ”
Fan Pengju was very surprised, and touched his bald head: "Young Master Xie knows me?" ”
Xie Niancheng was happy, it was one of his great pleasures to watch "Master Har" back then.
"I know, I know, are you a bastard?"
"Yes, young master, but I haven't bullied the people."
Xie Niancheng was very satisfied with him: "I've heard of you, and you're angry...... I like people who speak righteousness, so you give me your number plate. “
Fan Pengju handed over the number plate, Xie Niancheng took a cinnabar pen, drew a circle on "233", and wrote the words "Xie Niancheng":
"You go to the shed over there, get a hundred oceans, and then you find a few more Taoist brothers you trust, you must have real skills, if you are willing to follow me in the future, each of them will have a hundred oceans of settling-in money. For every one you find, you will be given twenty oceans of hard work. At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, report to Xie's house. ”
Fan Peng raised his hand to thank him.
"Why do you even recruit such people? Is it reliable? ”
Xie Niancheng heard a beautiful voice with heroic spirit in his ears, and when he looked back, it was Su Wanyun who came.
"Why are you here?"
"My dad and my brother said that you don't have enough manpower here, so let me help."
"That's great."
"Why are you even recruiting Brother Pao?"
"What's wrong with Brother Pao? Brother Pao attaches great importance to righteousness, what we have to do, we can't recruit people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, I thank Niancheng for employing people, see if you have the ability, and look at whether you are loyal or not, and it doesn't matter what your background is. Look at it, if you want to catch Gong Er, this Fan Ha'er is indispensable. ”
Su Wanyun now has some confidence in Xie Niancheng's ability, and she doesn't dwell too much on this topic.
It was busy until the afternoon, and several tests were over.
Xie Niancheng's standard is very high, and the marksmanship team must be 50 meters away to fight a handjob, and all five bullets can be considered qualified if they hit a half-meter target. The stamina group had to run all the equipment in less than three minutes, and the ring group had to walk for half a minute under kagura.
In addition to Fan Ha'er, there were two marksmanship groups that passed the test in the end, three in the physical strength group, and one in the ring group.
Of the more than 500 young candidates, only seven of them passed the screening, which shows the high requirements.
Back in the backyard of Xie Mansion, several boxes have been neatly stacked, and the materials for entering the mountain have been prepared.
Xie Niancheng carefully checked it several times and expressed satisfaction with the work of Haruko, Athena, and CC.
Su Wanyun looked at the tent, first aid kit, sleeping bag, sapper shovel and all kinds of equipment, her eyes were about to fly out of her sockets, she was born in a military family, so she naturally understood the value of these things.
"Nian Cheng, where did you get all these things?"
"It's all produced in my Xie family's factory."
Su Wanyun walked to the side of the box and played with it the same: "When the brothers of the second regiment can also use these equipment." ”
Xie Niancheng was full of confidence: "No problem, this matter falls on me, these equipment are all trial production, and they will be mass-produced after a while, and then the second regiment will be equipped first." ”
Xie Niancheng was chatting with Su Wanyun while thinking about how to find a name for the bandit suppression force.
The Xie family wants to cultivate force by itself, and it is not enough to rely on the second regiment alone, even if Su Xiangzhi and the officers in the regiment listen to the orders of the Xie family, but after all, the troops cannot be called casually, and if they want to protect themselves, they still have to have guns in their hands.
Xie Niancheng already had a preliminary plan for how the Xie family's armed forces would develop in the future, but the name of the army had not been thought about.
Su Wanyun saw that Xie Niancheng had something on his mind: "What do you think?" Has the plan to crack down on bandits changed? ”
"Not really, I'm just thinking about what my people here should be called...... I don't want to expose the Xie family's involvement in the banditry. ”
Xie Niancheng's deep consideration, Su Wanyun didn't understand, but about this name, Su Wanyun had an idea: "It's simple, the people here are called the Second Regiment Special Operations Team." ”
"Well, the name is good, but it's not a one-shot deal, let's take a name that is a bright spot."
For this name, the girls quarreled on the table for a long time, and finally Xie Niancheng slapped the board: "Just take one of the names of the two deputy captains, and call it the 'magic cannon' commando." ”
