After New Year's Day, it will be the 37th year of Zhichang, but in fact, many places in the north and south of the Daming River still follow the ancient calendar, and regard the Chinese New Year's Eve of the 30th lunar month as the watershed between the old and the new years.

In the next few days of the lunar month, four batches of weapons and equipment were transported, and the total number of ordnance received by the 1st Marine Regiment includes:

400 trial-produced Type 35 semi-automatic rifles, 60 trial-produced Type 37 heavy machine guns, 150 binoculars and artillery mirrors, 5,000 new Type 36 steel helmets, 20 new Type 34 Type B radios, and 10 trial-produced Type 36 radio radios.

Just from the words "trial production," we can see how luxurious the equipment of the 1st Marine Regiment is, and many cutting-edge equipment that has not yet been put into mass production has been distributed to the 1st Marine Regiment by the Ministry of War with a big wave of the hand, and it can also be seen that the face of the Navy is still not small.

The semi-automatic rifle is designed by the Wuchang Arsenal, with a long-stroke piston conductive type, a ten-round magazine for ammunition, and an empty weight of 3.9kg, which is much lighter than the M1 "Garand", and is more suitable for Chinese use, with beautiful appearance, and is a weapon with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called Ming characteristics are the pursuit of reliable and fierce design ideas, and at the same time try to be as beautiful as possible, as for precision and easy production, this is secondary.

The trial production of the 37 heavy machine gun is actually the Vz.37 heavy machine gun of the Czech Brno Arsenal Daming authorized production model, after the Vz.35 with certain deficiencies was improved, the Brno Arsenal launched the Vz.37, which was immediately purchased by the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of War.

It is mass-produced by the arsenals of Shenyang and Yingtian, and the production line is still being set up and commissioned, so the 60 units allocated to the 1st Marine Regiment are only for trial production.

In addition, the most high-end equipment is the 10 trial-produced 36-type radio walk-ins, with a total weight of 16kg, adjustable amplitude, shaped like a large iron box, and one person carries it like a schoolbag. Under standard conditions, the voice call distance is 3km, and the code transmission distance can reach 12km.

This kind of radio intercom developed by Shanghai Yongchang Electric Company is still in the experimental stage, and there are currently problems such as low tube life, large decline in communication quality and large weight in complex sites.

Your own troops are about to become new equipment test units?

Zhou Changfeng doesn't mind this, good things naturally have to play a greater role in high-quality groups, and the quality of his own command is definitely second to none in the whole Ming Dynasty.

Because the newly established 1st Marine Regiment is not a combat-ready unit, it is a holiday around the New Year's Day, and almost all the soldiers and officers are clean.

The huge Jiangxinzhou military camp suddenly became deserted, and there were only a few dozen officers and soldiers left.

Strings of red lanterns were hung at the gate of the barracks, and Zhou Changfeng summoned all the remaining officers and soldiers except the guards, and then set off firecrackers outside, which was also a festive picture.

Although the crackling sound is somewhat similar to the sound of gunfire to a certain extent, the peaceful scene in front of me is not at all touched by the battle-torn battlefield.

Zhou Changfeng stopped on a slightly higher dirt slope next to the barracks and lit a rare cigarette for himself.

The dark night sky is dotted with bright stars, and in the south of the city, thousands of lights are hotly lit, and there are constantly dazzling and fancy fireworks rising into the sky and then blooming in the starry sky.

It was at this moment that he felt how lonely he was—hey, he was a homeless guy.

At this time, a soldier rushed over and happily reported: "Sir! Someone from the village outside has come to deliver food! ”

Oh huh?

Zhou Changfeng, who was interested, extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette, casually held it, and then walked to the gate of the barracks.

Six or seven villagers in thick cotton robes, under the leadership of the chief of security, delivered more than a dozen baskets of steaming dumplings, including leek filling, pork filling, and cabbage filling.

If you want to talk about the situation between the military and the people, I'm afraid it can't be talked about, the people's thoughts and intentions are actually very simple, that is, they hope to have a good relationship with this gang of new "uncles", and if something disturbs the people in the future, it is better to go to the door to reason.

"So much? On behalf of the whole regiment, I thank you for your kindness. ”

That's not a small one, isn't it? Open your mouth is "on behalf of the whole regiment"?

Just when the chief was a little surprised, Zhou Changfeng ordered on the side: "We have a lot of those foods in stock, and we have five hundred chocolates in tow, so there are dealings." ”

"Order! Belch... Commander, do you want to bring the dry food with you? ”

"Who's okay with that? You must have a sweet tooth for the New Year. ”

Hearing this conversation, the chief and the villagers realized that the person in front of them was actually the leader of this gang of "uncles"?

The regiment is basically filled with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and the rank of lieutenant colonel is the fourth grade of the martial arts, and it is a senior official of the same level as the prefect in ancient times, and it should not be underestimated now.

Everyone came to give dumplings to flatter, but I didn't expect the other party to send a lot of chocolates in turn?

Although it is still relatively flat today, there is no worry about eating and drinking, and the price of food is not expensive, but it is not rich enough to eat sweets such as candy and chocolate.

Despite repeated shirks, under the persuasion of Zhou Changfeng, the villagers still accepted the five hundred chocolates and thanked them before leaving.

For basic safety reasons, the guards on duty in rotation did not eat first, and the others were given a few dumplings each.

In this way, this Chinese New Year's Eve is also complete.

But this night is not destined to be too dull? Because when the sub-hour was approaching, Zhou Changfeng received an unexpected phone call.

"Gengzi 2110 troops, I am the commander-in-chief, please tell me if you have something."

"How was this Chinese New Year's Eve?"

When the female voice came out, Zhou Changfeng was startled and almost didn't hold the microphone steady.

Tut! How... How is she?!

"I... Fortunately, I set off firecrackers, and then watched my subordinates play cards and mahjong. Zhou Changfeng, who pretended to be calm, replied.

Zhu Lingjing on the other end of the phone sneered, "Firecrackers? You're a child. ”

Since he didn't know what this strange princess wanted to do, Zhou Changfeng had to reluctantly talk to her.

After a while, seeing that he still didn't get to the point, he asked, "Your Highness, is there something wrong with you calling at night?" ”

"I've said it a long time ago, it's been nothing lately, if there's really going to be something, how can I inform you like this?"

“……”

"Looking at the current situation, I guess I will get engaged at the age of tomorrow, right? I have prepared a gift money for you, which will be delivered after the year, and it will not be publicized. ”

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly without waiting for Zhou Changfeng to speak.

Hey, sure enough, this woman must have sent someone to get a clear picture of the people and things around her.

As for the so-called engagement money, it is obviously just an excuse, in fact, it is buying people's hearts?

Zhou Changfeng, who was deeply helpless, stared at the telephone for a long time, and finally had to cover his forehead and shake his head.

Now, I can't get off the thief ship, so I can only sit on the boat and drift away.

Just accept this money, it's not that you see the money, it's just that if you don't accept it, you won't give face.
