Tang Nianzu is worthy of being a hot-blooded young man, and after being fooled by Skester for a while, with the noble sentiment of saving people's lives, he began to do his best to ask to see Li Yongji.

What Scist didn't know was that although Tang Nianzu was a staff officer, he was indeed a small person, if it was normal, if he wanted to report the situation, he had to report to the General Staff first, and then the General Staff would report to Sun Xiangbing, and Sun Xiangbing would report to Li Yongji.

In other words, with Tang Nianzu's identity, it is impossible for him to meet Li Yongji directly, there are a series of procedures to go, after all, this is the army, and it is the place that pays the most attention to class rules, and Tang Nianzu cannot be allowed to mess around.

However, there are exceptions to everything, or whether you can meet people quickly depends on your character, or luck, and obviously, Tang Nianzu's luck today seems to be particularly good, and he actually met Li Yongji on the road, saving him a lot of trouble.

At that time, the weather was still gray, but the momentum of the blizzard had weakened considerably, or at least the wind speed had slowed down considerably, and it was not as capable of blowing away the trees and tents as it had been at the beginning. As for Li Yongji, because he was worried about the cold situation, he took a group of special combat team bodyguards wearing a full set of cold-proof clothes to personally supervise the construction of the color steel warming house.

After all, when Li Yongji was training the Dream Division in the Red Fort in Hollywood, the barracks of the troops were all color steel houses, and learning to build a color steel house was also one of the necessary skills for the troops.

According to Li Yongji's conception at that time, motorized troops naturally used light tents during high-intensity field marches, but if they were stationed in one place for a long time, it was naturally better to have a color steel house.

When I was in Hollywood, because the weather was relatively cold in winter, the frequency of use of the color steel house was relatively high, but when Li Yongji led the troops into New Orleans and officially intervened in the American Civil War, the frequency of use of the color steel house was very low, and the troops camped with tents.

The reason is very simple, Li Yongji's current range of activities is mostly in the lower reaches of the Mississippi River and the lower reaches of the Ohio River, the temperature in this place is relatively warm, even if it is autumn and winter, it is not cold, in the wild, it is enough to use insulated tents.

The construction speed of the tent is much faster than that of the color steel room, and it can be carried with you and does not take up space, on the contrary, the space occupied by the color steel room is too large, which is not conducive to carrying, so since Li Yongji exchanged fire with the federal army, when the troops camped and stayed, they basically slept in tents, or they slept in motor vehicles, such as Li Yongji, and slept in their own exclusive armored RVs.

But no one expected that there would be a snowstorm in Smithland, which made the original tent a little insufficient, and it had to be a color steel house.

Of course, because Zhang Xinda was not prepared, the preparation of the color steel house took a certain amount of time, and the problem of transmission tonnage, so Li Yongji asked Zhang Xinda to prepare the color steel house on the one hand, and on the other hand, asked Dou Bifeng to prepare cold-resistant clothing, heating stoves and other drought-resistant materials.

Thanks to the real threat and oppression, Dou Bifeng completed Li Yongji's task very singlely, directly closed several warehouse supermarkets under his name, and then went inside in person to pack the cold-fighting materials to Li Yongji.

Because it is too hurried, and it is directly transported away from the things on the supermarket shelves, there are all kinds of cold materials.

Things like down jackets, warm gloves, thermal underwear, warm hats and warm shoes, etc., are all standard, and other things like self-heating warm stickers, warm bags, charcoal stoves, kerosene stoves and related fuels, etc., have also been sent over, and even the label has not been torn.

As a result, the things were delivered in time, but because the sensitive labels were basically not removed, the director Li Yongji could not immediately put a large number of materials into use, but first found a group of people to come and tear the labels, and then sent the materials.

During this period, 15 US prisoners had frozen to death due to the lack of supplies to resist the cold, and more than 200 had frostbite, while only about 50 soldiers of the Allied Army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force had frostbite, but the phenomenon of freezing to death did not occur.

Of course, the fifteen people who froze to death among the American prisoners were originally wounded and sick, and they were seriously injured, according to the normal concept of this era, even if there was no sudden snowstorm, they would not be able to survive for long, and the low temperature only accelerated the process of their deaths.

After all, Li Yongji's so-called shortage of materials is calculated according to the supply of cold-resistant materials to the main force of the modern PLA, but he does not know that the logistics supply capacity of the main force of the modern PLA is also leading in the world, not to mention compared with Europe and the United States, but it is definitely not lagging behind.

To tell the truth, the logistics supply of the modern PLA is quite powerful, the so-called inferior to Europe and the United States, but some advanced weapons are inferior, but some conventional materials, such as cold-resistant materials, drinking water filtration equipment, etc., are already world-class first-class.

In short, the cold-resistant materials of the Chinese Expeditionary Force before were supplied in accordance with the combat readiness materials of the modern PLA, that is, a person has an average of two sets of quilts and two sets of cotton clothes, and these things, they don't need to carry them on their backs, they only need to put them in their own motor vehicles, and this is also one of the advantages of motorized infantry, that is, special equipment!

Because of this, when the weather cooled down suddenly, many kind-hearted Chinese gave supplies to the American prisoners.

The expeditionary force brought by Li Yongji had three reinforced regiments, totaling more than 22,000 people, and even if 10,000 of them gave their reserve cotton clothes to the US prisoners, there would be 10,000 sets.

The number of registered US prisoners is more than 48,000, and more than 10,000 sets of quilts and cotton clothes are quite impressive.

After all, most of the soldiers captured by the U.S. Army are young and middle-aged, and there is no shortage of firewood in the vicinity, the calories of the food are not bad, and there are even tents, as long as the wind is not too strong, if everyone surrounds the tent to bake the fire, in fact, there is not much of a problem, so those cotton clothes and quilts are mainly used for those who are weak or injured.

How to say it, it can only be said that the people of this era, whether Chinese or foreign, are more able to bear hardships and stand hard work, even if a snowstorm of minus 20 degrees hits, it will not cause too many problems in a short time, that is, Li Yongji himself, because of the thinking of modern society, is so nervous.

In addition, these American prisoners of war came from the Ohio Russian Regiment, and most of them were not natives from the vicinity of Smithland, but outsiders from the extreme northern part of Pittsburgh.

In other words, the biggest danger of this snowstorm is actually the sudden storm and cooling at the beginning, which led to a sudden change in temperature.

Because the wind will blow away the tent, coupled with the rapid cooling, many people do not adapt to the cold and fever, if left untreated, these typhoid fever caused by the sudden change in temperature is the deadliest.

But don't forget, the Chinese Expeditionary Force can lack everything, but things like cold medicine and antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs are never lacking, and these things are cheap and do not take up space, so once someone has a cold and fever, as long as they take medicine in time, and then pay attention to rest and nutrition, there is no big problem.

Regardless of the multiple colds of the disease, a piece of aspirin goes down, sleeps, and it is almost kept, and if it is a relatively severe fever, a piece of aspirin plus amoxicillin, there is basically no major problem. As for other coughs, isolate them first, and then all kinds of related drugs keep up, and there is no problem in saving your life.

Therefore, even if Li Yongji does not urgently mobilize new cold-resistant materials to the modern society, relying only on the original equipment and material reserves of the troops is enough to cope with this sudden snowstorm, after all, their equipment is better than that of the German army that broke into the Soviet Union during World War II.

Of course, it cannot be said that Li Yongji is so nervous, after all, the materials are more adequate and better, plus the Americans are frost-resistant, but the Chinese are not, because many soldiers of the expeditionary force are actually from Guangdong, Fujian and other places, most of them are not cold-resistant, and they do need more adequate cold-resistant materials.

In short, when the first batch of color steel houses arrived, Li Yongji immediately organized personnel to build a new color steel house, because he was not at ease, or purely idle, he personally led people to inspect one by one, on the one hand, to encourage and cheer, on the other hand, but also on-site supervision, in order to avoid any accidents.

When Tang Nianzu came over, it was already the sixteenth color steel house inspected by Li Yongji, and this color steel room was not much different from the previous color steel houses.

Generally speaking, when Li Yongji inspected, although there were guards guarding him, as long as he was his own person, as long as he did not approach rashly, then he could still see Li Yongji.

That is to say, during Li Yongji's inspection, even an ordinary soldier could come over and ask to meet Li Yongji, say a few words, or shake hands, but generally speaking, this rarely happens among Chinese because of the habitual thinking of His Holiness for a long time and the class concept in the army for a long time.

But this time, Tang Nianzu, who was excited, didn't want to take the usual road, so he simply ran in the direction of Li Yongji, until he was stopped by a special combat soldier wearing a white snow camouflage uniform, his face was covered by a large white mask and yellow-green sunglasses, and he was holding a G36 assault rifle. ”

Hearing him shout, Li Yongji turned his head and found that the other party was wearing a newly issued snow combat uniform issued by the expeditionary force, plus there was a black abacus badge on his chest, which was the badge of the staff officer.

Seeing Li Yongji nodding, Wu Shouyun, who was beside him, immediately spoke on a portable walkie-talkie, asking the soldier who intercepted Tang Nianzu to let the other party come over.

After hearing Wu Shouyun's order, the soldier, who was wearing a white snow camouflage uniform and couldn't even see his face clearly, put the G36 assault rifle gun in his hand behind his back, and then motioned to the other party to open his hands, and then began a strict body search.

After searching for a while, after taking away a Type 92 9mm pistol that Tang Nianzu was carrying, he found that the other party did not have any decent weapons, so he nodded to him and signaled that he could pass.

The Type 92 pistol, of course, is a modern Chinese-made pistol, and this kind of gun is now also the standard equipment of the soldiers of the expeditionary force, almost everyone has one, even staff officers.

The reason why the Type 9-2 pistol was used instead of the cheaper revolver was naturally because during Li Yongji's time in Hollywood, there was no local arsenal, and the revolver shipped from China was too expensive to calculate the cost, and it was far worse than buying a Type 92 pistol from modern China.

This Type 92 9mm pistol imported from Zhang Xinda is actually the NP42 type foreign trade version of the pistol, the workmanship and performance are good, although not as good as USP and other famous guns, but the price is cheap, safe and reliable, and very durable, very suitable for the use of Chinese in the sixties of the nineteenth century.

Of course, from Li Yongji's own point of view, in fact, he didn't need so many pistols, after all, in this era, in the face of those American soldiers who only had a front-loading gun that was still using black fire-medicine as a fire-pill, and the dream division who generally had an automatic rifle was enough to rely only on the main weapon, but he couldn't bear Zhang Xinda's request, so he asked for a batch of goods.

Zhang Xinda, it's not that he wants it, to be honest, he doesn't like this batch of Type 92 pistols, but there is no way, who made the boss behind him want him to eat this batch of goods.

In this way, it was not because of special needs, but only because of political and human factors, that Li Yongji ate this batch of hand-guns, and also ate a large number of 9-millimeter bullets, and then when I looked at the number, I went, there was still one leftover from each hand, well, it was really a 92-type gun, and even the special combat team with USP hand-gun had to take one more.

In short, because of the large surplus of this Type 9-2 hand-gun and extremely sub-ammunition, Li Yongji gave each of the soldiers below one as a final hand-to-hand combat self-defense weapon, but who knew that this behavior was generally praised by the officers and men of the unit.

The reason is very simple, although the reputation and performance of the Type 9-2 pistol in modern society are very average, in this era, this pistol completely explodes all types of pistols!

The rate of fire is fast, not jammed, the recoil is small, the power is powerful and the accuracy is high, of course, the biggest advantage is that this gun is not like the assault-rifle-gun and other main weapons, there are strict rules for use, and it is not allowed to shoot at ordinary times, on the contrary, the pistol is not constrained by relevant rules because of a series of factors.

This also means that the pistol can be played with in private, which is equivalent to a big toy to relieve boredom for many expeditionary officers and soldiers.

Anyway, since the advent of the Type 92 pistol, the barracks of the soldiers of the expeditionary force have hardly been calm, and the sound of hand-gun-shooting-shooting can always be heard, and most of the soldiers in the army are playing pistol shooting competitions with each other.

However, although there are no relevant rules and regulations, due to the danger of pistols, most people pay great attention when playing with guns, anyway, to this day, there has not been a single incident of accidental injury due to playing with pistols.

When the other party got out of the way, and Li Yongji's figure could be seen in a straight line, Tang Nianzu took a deep breath, calmed down his pounding little heart, and then straightened his body, clenched his fists, and walked towards Li Yongji with a standard step. R1152
