"Huh? How so? ”

Zhu Jiahua's exclamation made everyone can't help but raise their heads, only to see hundreds of heavily armed officers and soldiers running in line, wearing a rare German-style steel helmet just equipped by the two German armoury divisions of the Central Army, and it seems to be different at a closer look, the steel helmet of the German armoury division of the Central Army is iron gray, and the steel helmet of the team in front of him is dark green, the shape seems to be more round, and it is also covered with a layer of lattice rope net, and I don't know what use it is.

More than 400 officers and men soon came to the bottom of the two large forts and lined up neatly, and Zhu Jiahua, Ge Jingen, and others saw more clearly: the pine-green military uniforms and leggings of the same color that they had never seen before, and the new-style thick-soled infantry shoes produced by the Shanghai Great China Rubber Factory, each of them wearing a large pine-green canvas vest of the same color, and the vest was full of bulging pockets.

In the midst of the whispering discussions, Lu Diping couldn't help but look at the well-informed Ge Jingen beside him, and at this time, Ge Jingen also turned around and smiled at Lu Diping: "I didn't expect that Brother Yong'an still has such an elite, if it is equipped with artillery, I am afraid it will be a few points stronger than the Central Teaching Corps!" ”

Lu Diping shook his head: "Brother Zhanhou said that he laughed, brother, it is the first time I have seen it today, and I am surprised!" ”

Ge Jingen was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the slightly helpless smile on Lu Diping's face, he knew that he couldn't lie, so he couldn't help but turn his head again and look curiously at the different team in front of him.

Wu Ming had already run to Ma Zhizhai and Liu Rulin on the side, raised his hand to salute vigorously, and roared loudly:

"Report to the Chief of Staff that the teaching team should have been assembled to four hundred and fifty people, but it was four hundred and three, and of the forty-seven who were absent, of whom thirty-six were on duty for inspection, and eleven were wounded and sick to recuperate. After the report, please ask the chief of staff to instruct! ”

Ma Zhizhai took a while to squeeze out two words: "Return to the team!" ”

"Yes!"

Wu Ming saluted and turned around, ran back to the front of the first column of the team without squinting, and turned around beautifully after standing upright, standing straight next to Sun Jin, the commander of the machine gun company at the head of the platoon, raising his head and chest, looking straight ahead.

There was silence.

Many people had a stunned look on their faces, no one thought beforehand that this little teaching captain would come to such a hand, was it ignorant or rude?

Lu Diping, Ge Jingen and Zhu Jiahua glanced at each other, shook their heads slightly, and then looked at the lonely and silent team standing in front of them again.

The heads of the security department did not have the good cultivation of Lu Diping, and they were already so angry that their faces were pale, and they kept aiming at the three Shangguan standing in the center, and while observing their faces, they scolded Wu Ming's mother in unison.

Ma Zhizhai's face was red, thinking Wu Ming, your grandson, don't look at what kind of occasion this is, more than a dozen generals are standing in the center waiting for you, but you ran to Lao Tzu to roar what kind of roar? Isn't this putting Lao Tzu on the fire to roast? I've never seen anything so hurtful!

"Very good! A soldier should look like a soldier! ”

Lu Diping's sudden words frightened most people's hearts, and after seeing the relieved smile on Lu Diping's face, he involuntarily quietly let out a mouthful, and someone also took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

I saw Lu Diping whispering to Zhu Jiahua and Ge Jingen: "Two, how about we go down together to see?" ”

Zhu Jiahua and Ge Jingen gladly agreed, followed closely by Lu Diping, chairman of Zhejiang Province, and walked down the slope in front of the fortress.

Lu Diping, who came to the middle of the team, stopped, pointed to the combat vest of a tall soldier in front of them, and asked, "What is this thing you are wearing?" What are they used for? ”

Fortunately, this soldier happened to be the squad leader of the second platoon of the machine gun company, a native of Quzhou City, although Lu Diping's rich Hunan accent sounded quite difficult, but he finally understood the general situation, and immediately replied:

"Report sir, this is a combat vest, divided into two kinds, the subordinate is a special assault vest, this set of pockets on the chest can hold seven twenty round magazines, the bag on the left chest is for inserting daggers, the upper and lower bags on the right are for notebooks and first aid kits, the big bag on the left rear can hold water bottles, and the bag on the right can hold four grenades, but the grenades have not been issued for the time being."

Lu Diping nodded with satisfaction, and everyone looked at it with great interest.

Ge Jingen asked the little squad leader to take out the dagger to take a look, the little squad leader hesitated, and suddenly saw the murderous eyes of Ma Zhizhai behind Ge Jingen, and immediately trembled, and immediately pulled out the dagger on his left chest, turned the handle, and handed it to Ge Jingen with both hands.

"Good knives! It's a good knife! ”

Ge Jingen praised it, held the knife and weighed it, waved it twice, and took it back to carefully inspect the bright blade, the deep concave blood groove, the sharp serration on the back of the knife and the overall exquisite workmanship, and couldn't help but admire again:

"The texture is excellent, finely crafted, and it is not inferior to the small sabers of Europe and the United States, and what is even more rare is the peculiar imagination, which looks like it was specially produced for scouts, right? Soldier, what's the name of this knife? Where did you buy it? ”

"I ...... I don't know what to do...... I really don't know what to do! The captain didn't say anything when he sent it down, he just said that it was easy to use, and told us to shut up. ”

The soldier timidly looked at Ma Zhizhai who was angry, everyone was happy at first glance, Ge Jingen, who had never been smiling, also showed a knowing smile, he returned the knife to the red-faced soldier, and whispered to Lu Diping: "I guess I have to ask their captain, I know such a team, don't look at this little soldier scared like this, I dare to say that as long as their captain doesn't let go, we will kill him, I'm afraid he will still say that he doesn't know how to go." ”

Everyone laughed again, Lu Diping smiled and looked at the person at the head of the line, and before he could speak, he heard an angry roar behind him: "Wu Ming, you kid get over here!" ”

"Yes!"

Hearing Ma Zhizhai's voice, Wu Ming, who knew that he couldn't dodge, had to agree loudly, strode out of the ranks, stepped forward to the left three meters of a group of generals, stood up and saluted, put down his hand and stood solemn again, motionless.

Lu Diping nodded appreciatively, looked at the outfits of the soldiers in the team, then turned to Wu Ming, and asked, "Captain Wu, your equipment is very advanced, and the number of automatic firepower is surprising...... It's just that your military uniform and equipment are no different from your subordinates at all, can you tell me why? ”

"There are two reasons for reporting to the chief: first, our security forces have not yet had a clear military rank system, and only officer rank markings were issued in October last year, and there were no rank markings for non-commissioned officers and soldiers, so our officers and soldiers are all dressed the same; Second, according to the relevant battlefield regulations issued by the Provincial Security Department in 1929, officers were required to avoid revealing their identities on the battlefield as much as possible, so as not to be attacked by the enemy, so their subordinates did not wear any rank insignia. Report complete! Wu Ming's voice was not hurried, his expression was calm, and he was calm.

Lu Diping nodded with satisfaction, and sighed to Zhu Jiahua and Ge Jingen, who were also pleased:

Up to now, the Central Military Commission has not yet made a specific position for the provincial and local armies, let alone any clear regulations, these problems are not only in Hunan, Jiangxi, but now it seems that Zhejiang also has them. Brother Marquis Zhan, see if you can raise this matter to the upper level of Lu at the appropriate time, because internal and external troubles are coming one after another, and the situation is quite grim, and I am afraid that the central authorities will not be able to pay attention to the building of local troops. ”

"What Brother Yong'an said is that I will report the situation here to the Military Commission and the chairman of the committee as soon as I go back." Ge Jingen replied solemnly.

Lu Diping called Liu Rulin, a few simple instructions, Liu Rulin replied with a military salute, strode to Wu Ming's side, whispered, and soon accompanied by Wu Ming and Ma Zhizhai, accompanied by Lu Diping's three bigwigs, walked to the trenches, fortresses, and reported in detail to the commanders the original intention of the trench fortifications design, the functions, the difficulty of construction, the ability to protect and counterattack, etc., and answered the questions raised by the commanders.
