On June 18, Mr. Chen Binggong finally rushed back to Xinghe, and at the same time came back with more than 30 cars of cash and a large number of loan vouchers. This made Chen Feng, who had just received a chicken rib reward, feel a lot better, no wonder Chen Feng was so entangled, the system reward in June was too cheating, and it turned out to be a 2-fold increase in mental power. Chen Feng felt that his reaction had become much faster, but he didn't feel anything else at all, which made Commander Chen depressed.

This time, Mr. Chen reaped a lot of money, borrowing a total of 4.8 million silver dollars from six foreign banks and 2.6 million legal dollars from the central bank of the Nationalist Government. Changing hands, Old Man Chen exchanged all the borrowed Fabi for Xian Dayang, and then staked the money back to Xinghe.

When he came back to see Chen Feng, the first thing Old Man Chen said was: "I hope that the war will break out in full swing as your kid predicted, otherwise our Chen family will really go bankrupt, and the interest on these loans alone is enough to suck our Chen family dry." ”

But in Chen Feng's view, if one Chen family is exchanged for the safety of the whole of China, he is still very happy to exchange. But that is impossible, and war will definitely break out on that day, and no one can change that.

For a whole month, under the supervision of Chen Feng, the city fortifications of Xinghe County were overhauled, and according to Chen Feng's arrangement, Xinghe County built a large number of concrete bunkers outside the east and west gates. The bunkers were semi-basement and were designed to withstand a thousand pounds of bombs.

On the 25th, outside the county seat of Xinghe, 2,800 bandits in tattered clothes stood neatly at the gate of the city. Chen Feng rode a tall horse and jumped over all the people, stood at the front of the troops, and said slowly: "It's been a whole month, it's time to pull out a mule or a horse." Today's official assessment, a total of 4 items in the assessment, the first is a weight-bearing cross-country, 30 kilograms, a distance of 50 kilometers, and a time limit of 10 hours. Each person who completes this assessment gets 10 points, and those who exceed the time are eliminated, and the top 200 who reach the finish line are added another 10 points. ”

After announcing the route of the march, Chen Feng gave the order to begin.

Although Chen Feng did not say the fate of the eliminators, thinking of what Chen Feng said before, if he failed to complete the assessment, he would be shot, and everyone did not dare to slack off, and began to run forward after the order was issued.

50 kilometers for 10 hours, an average of 5 kilometers per hour, this speed and distance is not outrageous, Chen Feng believes that the vast majority of people in this level can reach the standard, after all, this period of time is not in vain, and 30 kilometers of off-road every week is not a joke.

However, the final result still surprised Chen Feng a little, all 2,833 soldiers met the standard, and none of them were eliminated.

In the morning of the second day, the second assessment subject - live ammunition shooting.

It is still ten rounds per person, the distance is 100 meters, 70 rings are qualified, and a ten ring is added five points.

This time the gap was revealed, and although the vast majority of them met the standard, there were still more than 700 soldiers who scored below 70 rings.

However, to Chen Feng's delight, a group of shooting masters emerged in the troops, since four soldiers scored 10 rings with Mauser rifles, and there were also many 90 rings, these are all good seedlings of snipers.

In the afternoon, there is a combat assessment, which requires two minutes of bare hands under the attack of special combat personnel to be considered qualified. Two hundred members took turns to fight against more than 2,800 soldiers of the three regiments.

There are not too many people who have passed this assessment, and nearly 1,000 people have been eliminated, and the sincerity of being able to hold on for two minutes under the attack of special combat personnel is not too much. However, there are still surprises, there are a few who have already practiced martial arts, not only persevered under the attack of the special combat team, but even a few took the initiative to fight back and took down the special combat team members who assessed them, and Chen Feng also gave extra points to such a master.

On the third day, the fourth assessment is carried out, the mountain rapid march, everyone carries standard combat equipment, and then the mountain rapid march of 15 kilometers, requiring five hours to arrive, and the first two hundred will be given ten points, and the first two hundred will be added ten points.

After the assessment is completed, those who get 40 points are considered qualified, and those who get less than 40 points are eliminated. Soon the scores of each soldier were counted, and to Chen Feng's delight, only more than 300 of the 2,800 people scored below 40 points, and the rest of the comprehensive scores were above the passing line.

There are many people who fail in one category, but have a good performance in other events, get extra points, and get lucky.

"Below I announce the list of former soldiers who are ranked in the top 126, first place: Li Yifeng, with a total score of 120 points; Second place: Xu Fortune, total score 115; Third place: Wang Jiming, total score 110; Fourth place: Li Qiang, total score 110; Fifth place: Liu Haoqiang"

"Next, I announce the decision on the appointment of officers of the Third Security Regiment: Deputy Regiment Commander Li Yifeng, Regiment Chief of Staff Xu Fufu, First Battalion Commander Wang Jiming, Second Battalion Commander Liu Haoqiang, Third Battalion Commander Ma Xiong, and Machine Gun Battalion Commander Ao Rigera"

"Now I announce the decision on the handling of the eliminated personnel, all 377 eliminated personnel will form a death squad, and if necessary, they will be the vanguard of the troops, as long as they carry out a mission and come back alive, they will immediately become regular soldiers." Chen Feng announced the order loudly.

According to the prior arrangement, these bandits and bandits who were eliminated were to be pulled out of the gang and shot. But now that the war is about to start, every soldier is precious. These people are China's national defense strength, and even if they want to die, they will die on the battlefield, not on the execution ground.

The eliminators who escaped with their lives were also very grateful to Chen Feng for giving them this chance to live, and readily agreed to Chen Feng to join the death squad of the security regiment.

It's June 26th, and there are only ten days left before the Lugou Bridge. Not only Chen Feng, but many people have already smelled the gunpowder of the war, and many people have escaped from Beiping one after another in the past few days.

On the 28th, Yeherina and Pobosha returned to Xinghe County with two cavalry regiments. According to Chen Feng's arrangement, they knocked Li Shouxin's puppet Mongolian army several times in succession, and beat the big traitor Wang Ying's department several times. In more than two months, more than 3,000 cavalry sprinkled the prestige of the Saibei Horse Gang all over the Xilin Gol grassland.

Now Yeherina's cavalry has expanded by a quarter, with a total strength of more than 3,800 people, and the weapons and equipment have also been replaced, each with a horse pistol, a sabre, and as for the war horse, it has reached the configuration of one person and two horses.

After returning to Xinghe, Chen Feng issued two sets of uniform uniforms of the security regiment to each cavalry, and then sent several telegraphers and two radio stations to the cavalry unit.

The war is getting closer and closer, and Chen Feng's mood is becoming more and more anxious. After nearly seven months of layout, he formed a total of three infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments, with a total strength of nearly 14,000 men, which is equivalent to the establishment of a division of the Nationalist Government.

In addition, through his efforts, the security regiment opened up the Daqingshan base, where a small arsenal and a large steel factory were opened. The arsenal was run by Chen Feng himself, and it could only produce ammunition, not guns.

As for the steel plant, of course, it was the use of the steel plant construction order, and when the huge blast furnace towered in the huge cave overnight, everyone was stunned, even Xu Hu and the others were shocked. This is a real miracle, no one can build a large steel plant overnight, but Chen Feng and Commander Chen have built it, which makes Xu Hu and others more confident in following Chen Feng.

The Jewish experts from Germany were amazed when they saw the huge steel mill built in a cave. Even in industrially developed Europe, there are few steel mills with an annual output of 500,000 tons of high-quality steel, let alone in industrially backward Asia.

In the words of William, a military expert, the production process of this steel plant is at least 30 years ahead of the world, or even more.

Since it does not require a long construction period, the steel plant has already started production more than ten days ago. However, due to various factors such as raw materials and workers, only one of the four blast furnaces is now fully started, and it is not operating at full capacity, with a monthly output of less than 1,000 tons of high-quality steel, less than 10% of the design capacity.

Although it is only 1,000 tons, it is still extremely important for Chen Feng's role, and the system reward that Chen Feng received in June is the military construction order he dreamed of, although it is only a grenade production line, but it is undoubtedly of epoch-making significance for Chen Feng, who relies on the purchase of weapons and equipment.

Moreover, this grenade production line is still very advanced, and the production is actually the Japanese 97 type grenade, which is a stereotyped grenade developed by the Japanese Army in the 12th year of Showa (1937). With a total length of 9.8cm, a diameter of 5cm, a weight of 455g, and a explosive capacity of 65g, it can be regarded as a relatively advanced grenade in this era.

In addition, the security regiment has stored a large amount of weapons, equipment and medicines in the base on the earth, and the food and daily necessities are enough for the troops to consume for several years, in addition to hoarding a large amount of money, it can be said that Chen Feng has done everything he can think of.

But Chen Feng knew that these things alone could not drive away the Japanese. At the beginning of the war, the number of a first-class division of the Japanese army was close to 30,000, and his strength was less than half of that of a division.

In addition, at the beginning of the war, the Japanese army used all the elites who had experienced a hundred battles. The quality of the soldiers is extremely high, and usually an infantry brigade is enough to contend with a division of the Kuomintang troops, and there are not a few examples of a wing defeating a single army of the Nationalist Government.

Although Chen Feng is still very confident in the three infantry regiments under his command, after all, they are all trained by him according to the training methods of special forces in later generations, although the time is short, but the combat effectiveness is not bad.

Even so, Chen Feng did not dare to be careless. Although the armament of his troops far exceeded the configuration of the Kuomintang troops of the same period, even the Central Army of Lao Chiang's descendants was slightly inferior, and it did not suffer compared to the Japanese army. But Chen Feng knew that there was a fatal flaw in his security regiment, that is, there were too many recruits in the army, and the vast majority of soldiers had never been on the battlefield, so it was really hard to say whether it was a mule or a horse.

The other is that Chen Feng does not have an advantage in terms of intelligence, and the Japanese have special high-tech organs, chrysanthemum organs, and Mei organs, but he has nothing. Although he had consciously asked the old lady to set up his own intelligence agency, after all, he was not a professional in military intelligence, so his role was not very obvious.

There are reconnaissance units patrolling and reconnoitring in a small area, and Chen Feng will not be blind, but if the war escalates in an all-round way and the security regiment takes the initiative to attack, without the strong support of the intelligence department, this battle will not be easy to fight.
