Chapter 555: The Road Is Too Narrow
Half a month passed in a flash, and Zhang Sixing planned to leave in the general headquarters of the Yunnan Army.
For the time being, both sides are satisfied with what they have gained.
The Tang group received a purchase contract of up to 30,000 sets of training equipment from the Yunnan army, and the Yunnan army would also select people from the newly recruited Zhuang men who did not smoke big cigarettes to receive elite infantry training at the paratrooper school.
After ten days of understanding, not only Long Hong but also the Yunnan officers were extremely surprised by the performance of the elite infantry.
Because the performance of these soldiers is better than that of the junior officers of the Yunnan army, after all, it is very difficult for the Yunnan army to find a junior officer who knows how to shoot between artillery.
Secondly, such things as infantry and artillery coordination, infantry and tank coordination, and infantry and air coordination, the Dian army has not even thought about it.
And these elite infantry not only received training from German paratroopers, but also a variety of tactics summed up by Zhang Sixing from the future.
When the officers got to know these soldiers, they instantly became the sweethearts of the senior officers. From the first preparation, all of them were left in the Yunnan Officers' Training Corps to compete among various divisions.
Long Hong was also very helpless about this, more than a hundred elite infantry looked quite a lot, but if it really had to be distributed, compared to the Dian army, the number was really not enough.
In the end, Long Hong decided on a three-legged walking plan, first, to provide a certain amount of military rations to the paratrooper school, and to ask the paratrooper school to provide another 500 elite infantry, and arrange it in the form of platoon-level officers.
This is to hope that these lower-level military palaces can bring out more excellent soldiers.
The other is to send people to study at the paratrooper school, which Long Hong has already decided, that is, to send the newly recruited strong men to the paratrooper school for training.
The last is to expand the teaching regiment, that is, to establish a number of teaching regiments to retrain the existing subordinate officers of the Yunnan army, and use these elite infantry as instructors to improve the overall strength of the Yunnan army.
However, Long Hong obviously didn't intend to let Zhang Sixing go like this, after all, someone had already told him about the paratrooper school's construction of roads near Kunming at this moment.
At present, because of the plan for the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway proposed by Long Hong to the chairman of the NPC National Committee, the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway that was finally decided is the responsibility of the Yunnan local government with the assistance of the state government.
Later, after consultation with the Burmese and British authorities, the Yunnan side was responsible for the construction of the highway in China from Kunming, Yunnan Province to Wan Town, and the government attached great importance to this war-ready highway that might be cut off from maritime traffic in the future, and brought in the independent engineering regiment of the army and the construction team directly under the Ministry of Communications.
However, after inspecting the plywood roads built by the disabled soldiers of the paratrooper school, Long Hong has submitted them to the Ministry of Communications to confirm how this kind of road compares to ordinary roads.
Speaking of which, Long Hong has no bottom in his heart about whether this kind of pavement that is blended with hemp silk and glass fiber, and then supplemented by some wood fibers, and whether it is suitable for building blocks.
Therefore, he planned to take advantage of Zhang Sixing to go back and take a look together.
It is worth mentioning that the four-wheel drive jeeps and trucks that Zhang Sixing and his entourage used to transport troops when they came have all become the equipment of the Dian army at this moment, but Zhang Sixing and his entourage have become hitchhikers.
"This kind of car is good, three cars can just transport a squad, but we don't have so many machine guns."
Liu Jianzhang happily sat in the driver's seat, although the vehicle shell and even the tires in front of him are made of fiberglass, but it has a huge feature that it is cheap.
After all, this car reduces the use of metal to a minimum, which makes this car produced in China, where metal is scarce, much cheaper than ordinary cars.
Like almost all soldiers, Liu Jianzhang fell in love with the machine gun at a glance.
At this time, the machine gun on the car was modified to feed the bullet chain, and the chain was directly loaded into the FRP box to ensure that the bullet could be better preserved when not in use.
"Commander Long, this kind of machine gun is good, we wish we had more."
According to the habit of the Chinese bureaucrats at this time, Long Hong and Zhang Guosi sat in the back row. Hansen sat in the passenger seat, and Tetsujiro Yamaoka realized that he was about to get his hands on the machine gun.
Long Hong, who did not answer Liu Jianzhang's suggestion, swept it, and then recruited one of his own guards,
"Go up and try to see if you can stand firmly in the back of the car, I always feel that the machine gun is arranged like this...... Soldiers with machine guns are too easy to be targeted by elite infantry shooters. ”
Tetsujiro Yamaoka, who had already grabbed the pipe under the machine gun, stopped and looked at Zhang Sixing.
Of course, Zhang Sixing understood what Long Hong meant, and pretended not to understand Yamaoka Tetsujiro's inquiry, and instructed lightly,
"The customer is God, you have to know about the hill. Commander Long is not only a customer of the Tang Group, but also a customer of our paratrooper school. ”
Hearing Zhang Sixing say this, Tetsujiro Yamaoka had no choice but to put down the machine gun and go to the truck behind himself, and the machine gun shooter changed to Ryuhiro's guard.
"Attention, we're driving."
Liu Jianzhang shouted, and then started the car.
The car swayed, and then it took the lead. However, the other guards under Long Hong drove a few side three-wheeled motorcycles to lead the way at this time.
At this moment, the paratrooper school has just been established, and in addition to the people who use the factory, a larger number of disabled soldiers are arranged on the road construction site.
It's just that for the sake of food for the paratrooper school, these roads lead to the towns near Kunming, and they don't extend too far away. After all, this is on someone else's territory, and if this kind of thing is done too much, I am afraid that it will cause the displeasure of the commander-in-chief of the dragon in front of him.
The roads in Yunnan at this time, even the so-called highways, were too bad for Zhang Sixing. In front of it, there is the world's largest highway mileage, and then there is the highway that Germany is building at the moment.
And the roads in Huaxia, including the roads in the concession, are not something worth caring about for Zhang Sixing.
Long Hong, the highest military and political governor in Yunnan, is still a little proud of the governance under his rule. Along the way, he continued to introduce the customs and customs along the road to Zhang Sixing, and also introduced more to the construction of Yunnan.
Although from time to time what is being said,
"Please correct President Zhang, please ...... Principal Zhang"
But that faint sense of pride is beyond words. Zhang Sixing doesn't blame him for this, because only a builder will be happy and proud of his achievements in construction.
And this faint pride did not converge until a small town near Kunming, when the pale yellow road built by the paratrooper school appeared in front of him.
Because he had never seen this kind of road at all, he jumped out of the car as soon as he got on the pale yellow road.
Standing on the flat stretch, the road made of composite materials only glanced at it, and the disappointment was overflowing.
"This road is too narrow, Principal Zhang, such a narrow road can't be opened to traffic."
