Chapter Twenty-Four: Practicing Hands (New Book for Onlookers)

Ordong was less than fifteen kilometers away from the county seat of Xinghe, and with the speed of cavalry, it arrived in less than an hour.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the city, Li Jingyuan was taken aback by the great changes that had taken place in Xinghe County, it was only a few months, and the originally not tall city wall of Xinghe County was built decently, especially the construction of the fortifications around the city was quite large, just outside the west gate he saw hundreds of tall or low pillboxes, from the shooting hole he clearly saw the machine gun barrel extending inside.

"Big nephew, when did you build these bunkers?" Li Jingyuan asked the doubts in his heart.

"Report to the commissioner, from a few months ago to the beginning of construction, to now a total of four months, a total of 177 large and small pillboxes have been built at the east and west gates of the county, and many pillboxes and commanding heights have also been built in the city." Chen Feng replied.

"Don't keep calling the commissioner and the commissioner, that's the birth, I have been friends with your father for decades at that time, and he saved my life when I was young, call me uncle, you don't lose." Li Jingyuan said with a smile.

"Hehehe, Uncle Li laughed, you came this time with official business, I don't want people to gossip about you behind your back." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Your Uncle Li is not an important member of the government, who would pick on my thorn in the thorn. How did you kid come up with the idea of building fortifications? Can you not know the prophet? Li Jingyuan asked suspiciously.

"How can it be, this is not caused by bandits. You don't know, not long ago, a pole was erected on the Daqing Mountain in the east of the county, it was a gang that escaped from the northeast, with a large number of people and strong combat effectiveness, and not long ago they also robbed Zhangjiabu in Zhangbei. With the strength of that group of people, it is almost effortless to destroy our previous security group, and my nephew is also trying to save his life, which is quite helpless! ”

"Hahaha, you are really grateful to these bandits, if it weren't for a strong enemy like them, you wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to build city fortifications, not bad, I didn't expect this small Xinghe county town to be built into a fortress by your kid." Li Jingyuan said with a smile.

"This is really what Uncle Li said, with these city defense fortifications, plus the brothers under him are still using their lives, I, the city defense commander, can also do a peace of mind, and I don't have to worry about being beaten into the city by bandits at any time to take my head." Chen Feng said.

"Let's talk about your troops, this time I am on the order of Commander Fu Zuoyi, to touch the bottom of the security regiments in Suiyuan, now it seems that only you are not bad here, the security regiments in other places are just empty shelves, and the ten security regiments together may not be able to form a real infantry regiment, which is really disappointing!" Li Jingyuan said.

"Uncle Li, there are three infantry battalions and one machine gun battalion in our security regiment, plus one company each of guards, reconnaissance, engineers, artillery, and baggage, as well as a platoon of signal troops, with a total strength of more than 3,000 people." Although this Uncle Li is very good to him, and it can be seen between the lines that he really cares about himself, Chen Feng does not dare to tell him the true establishment of the troops, because the establishment of the security regiment has been greatly overnumbered at present.

"What, there are more than 3,000 people in your security corps? My obedient is worth an infantry brigade of our Jin Sui Army, so how about the weapons and equipment? Li Jingyuan hurriedly asked.

"The weapons and equipment are okay, all the German equipment, my nephew and I bought it from the Germans out of my own pocket, and for this reason, about half of the old Chen family's family was killed, and my father scolded the loser when he sees me now!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"In my opinion, your old Chen family also has a vision for you kid, it is better to have money and power in this troubled world than to have a gun, as long as you have a gun, the other two things are not trivial. By the way, why didn't your dad come, and where is he now? Li Jingyuan said.

"Isn't this a war, my father estimated that the family's business was going to be yellow, so he went to the major branches to deal with the business, and it has been nearly half a month." Chen Feng didn't want Li Jingyuan to know about the existence of the Daqingshan base in Ludao, and the mountain couldn't do without Chen Binggong, so Chen Feng had to tell a small lie.

"Then wait for your father to come back and bring him a good one, today your Uncle Li and I have official business, let's talk about official business first, after the official business is over, let's have a good drink, and then I will go back to my life."

"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Li, let's go to the big school, where the troops have already assembled." Chen Feng said.

Due to the considerable increase in troops, the large campus of the former security regiment was insufficient, and the area of the large campus had to be expanded again.

Li Jingyuan was stunned by the grass-green army in front of him, although the military uniform of Chen Feng's department was indeed a bit strange in the eyes of people in this era, but the uniform action, the complete formation, and the unified Mauser rifle and snow-bright bayonet made this team of 3,000 people look extremely intimidating.

"It looks good, but I don't know if it's too much to use?" Li Jingyuan said.

"Uncle Li, this is a mule or a horse pulled out to slip away, I see that the guard behind you is not bad, it should be the elite of Commander Fu's subordinates, I don't know if what I said is right, nephew?"

"Big nephew has a good eye, although there are only one hundred and ten people in this company behind me, all of them are good hands, and Commander Fu was transferred from his guard to protect me." Li Jingyuan said proudly.

"I think so, let my security regiment and Commander Fu's guards practice, only after practicing will I know whether the top of the road is useless, so that you can go back and have an explanation with Commander Fu!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Hehehe, it seems that the eldest nephew is determined to win, okay, virtue, it's up to you next, don't let me, the eldest nephew, flatten Commander Fu's guard!" Li Jingyuan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, take a seat!" A captain officer beside Li Jingyuan said loudly.

"Commander Chen, since you proposed Lianlian, then we Lianlian, how can we Lianlian, you say?" Captain officer Bai Degong said loudly.

"Since we look at the overall strength, then we are divided into collective and individual two analogies, a total of three, the first is shooting, five bullets per person, the most average score. The second is dogfight, and the same number depends on which unit falls first. The third is a single soldier competition, each sent the strongest soldier king in the army to compete, and the competition subjects are still shooting and fighting! What does Company Commander Bai think? Chen Feng said.

"It's fair, although I don't think your regiment can defeat our company, but your regiment's courage is still very commendable!" Bai Degong said in a deep voice.

"Everything is possible in this world, and whether or not you can be defeated depends on the performance of my troops in the future." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Commander Chen, I brought three infantry platoons this time, let's fight collectively with platoons, right?" Bai Degong Dao.

"Okay!" Chen Feng said succinctly.

"The three companies of the guard battalion are lined up, everyone is quite clear about the rules just now, five bullets per person, don't embarrass the commander and our Jin Sui army."

"Yes!"

"The three battalions, three companies and three platoons of the security regiment are out of the ranks, you have to know that you are competing with the guards of General Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army and chairman of Suiyuan Province, according to the usual training, play your level, go!"

There were a total of 100 targets on the school field, and after changing the target paper, Chen Feng looked at Bai Degong and said, "Let's start!" ”

"What a shame!"

"Ready!"

"Shoot!"

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

Different from the style of Commander Fu's guard troops, Chen Feng's security regiment soldiers used up the three bullets as quickly as possible, and then quickly formed a team, waiting for Chen Feng's next instructions. Commander Fu's guard company took aim and then fired after firing a shot, and the five bullets took a full minute and a half, while the soldiers of the same five-bullet security regiment took less than fifteen seconds.

"Target!" Chen Feng ordered.

"Four Rings!"

"Four Rings!"

"Five Rings!"

"Three rings!"

The final statistical results showed that the average score of Commander Fu's guard company was 4.1 ring, while Chen Feng's security regiment was 4.4 rings, which was slightly better than the guard company.

Chen Feng had already expected this result, although Commander Fu's guard company could indeed be regarded as an elite, but Chen Feng's security team had the advantage in the right place and people, so if he couldn't win, it would really disappoint Chen Feng's expectations.

The security team trains in this big campus every day, and those targets are not many of them once or twice a day. Now that the ammunition unit can be self-sufficient, Chen Feng opened up the supply of bullets in order to improve the hit rate of the troops' shooting, and under the feeding of a huge number of bullets, the shooting hit rate of the troops has risen sharply. Chen Feng's minimum requirement for ordinary fighters is that the hit rate of the first five bullets must reach four rings, otherwise they will be regarded as unqualified.

In addition, the gun used by the security regiment is a Mauser rifle made in Germany, and the performance of the gun is extremely good, which is not a star and a half better than the performance of Hanyang used by the Jin Sui Army. In addition, the soldiers of the security regiment competed in front of all their comrades-in-arms at their own doorstep, how could there be a saying that they did not do their best, and the results of the four points and four rings were nothing. If Chen Feng lets the special combat team shoot, he is likely to play the five rings.

"It seems that Commander Chen's headquarters has worked hard in shooting, and he is convinced of his humble duties." Although Bai Degong did not expect that his guard company would lose to this little-known security regiment, he still admitted the result to a large extent.

"Let's take a second game!" Chen Feng said modestly.

"What a shame!"

"Two rows out of line!"

"The third battalion and the second platoon of the security regiment are out of line!"

"When fighting, all of them are replaced with wooden guns, there are no rules of fighting, and if you hit the opponent, you will win!" After Chen Feng announced the rules, he ordered the two platoons to start hand training.

At this time, the gap between the veterans and the recruits suddenly appeared, although the training methods of the guard company of the Jin Sui Army were backward, but they were all people who had rolled in the pile of dead people, and they dared to fight, although the formation was scattered, but the momentum completely suppressed the third battalion and the second platoon of the security regiment.

Ten minutes later, there were less than 20 people left on the side of the security regiment, and there were still 30 people in the guard platoon of the Jin Sui army, and the ratio of "casualties" on both sides reached 2 to 1.
