The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 10 Lao Tzu's Team Has Only Opened

After Fu Chen left, the three squad leaders, Ge Guicai, Luo Youdao, and Tu Desheng, were still around him. They listened to the conversation between Fu Chen and He Wei word for word, and now they all spoke in a manner as if it was the first time. He looked at him with eyes that knew He Wei.

He Wei smiled coquettishly.

"What? Don't you believe that I killed three Japs by myself?"

"No, no." The three monitors said one after another.

These three squad leaders treated He Wei well. After the death of the previous platoon leader, except for the first squad deputy Yang Biao and He Wei, everyone else in the platoon was quite kind.

Needless to say, Ge Guicai was calm and easy-going. He was a veteran in his 30s who had fought all the way through the Northern Expedition. He had long military service, was steady, and had a reputation for prestige.

The second squad leader, Luo Youdao, was born as a helper. He did small business before joining the army. Apart from his love for taking advantage of small profits, he had no major problems. The short and fat third squad leader, Tu Desheng, was usually a well-behaved and harmless person. Everyone is smiling.

He Wei had a good impression of them, especially the old squad leader Ge Guicai. He was a really good person. Looking at it now, it was the first time he had worn it. For his own squad, these sergeant squad leaders seemed to be pretty good, but for the current overall situation of the platoon He Wei still lacked understanding of the situation, such as troop strength, firepower, physical fitness and mental outlook of the soldiers.

He Wei then said: "Give me the order, the whole platoon should organize their equipment and assemble. I want to give you a lecture!"

Three minutes later, the entire platoon assembled in the newly constructed trench. Three infantry squads in one platoon stood in three rows, arranged in the order of the first squad, the second squad, and the third squad. He Wei stood The person in front carefully observed the situation of this row of people, and the messenger Tao Heiwa followed behind He Wei. .

According to the adjusted division establishment in the 26th year of the Republic of China, a full infantry platoon is composed of three 14-man infantry squads, one orderly soldier and one platoon leader, a total of 44 people. Among the three infantry squads, Ge Guicai's squadron It is the only standard fully-manned German weapons adjustment division infantry squad in the platoon. There are fourteen people in the squad. Except for the squad leader and deputy squad leader who are each equipped with a [-]-caliber medium-sized rifle, the rest are divided into a rifle group and a light machine gun group. [-]. The seven-person rifle team is equipped with seven [-]-caliber medium-sized rifles. The light machine gun team is composed of one light machine gun shooter, three ammunition soldiers and one rifleman. It is equipped with one [-]-caliber Czech light machine gun and one A decent rifle.

As for Luo Youdao's second squad and Tu Desheng's third squad, the personnel situation is not as good as that of the first squad. Due to the casualties from previous battles, the two squads have not been fully replenished, so both squads only have 12 people and are short of personnel. Two people, and the second squadron's light machine gun was also lost due to battle damage.

He Wei's 14th Division was placed under the No. [-] Group Army in order of battle. The previous bloody battles along the Qianjuntai-Xiamaling-Kenmenggou line had suffered heavy casualties. This time, the entire army was in a completely dilapidated state. When he went to Xinkou to join the battle, his platoon was pretty good. Some of the infantry platoons of other companies could not even make up two squads.

Looking at these soldiers, they are all wearing M35 steel helmets. Each of the riflemen is holding a mid-level rifle produced by Gongxian Arsenal. They are carrying two canvas twelve-grid bullet belts, one diagonally across the body and the other tied horizontally at the waist. Everyone's bullet belt is bulging with 120 rounds of [-] bullets. A halter-neck grenade belt nicknamed Huangpu Big Bra is hung on the chest. There are two bullet bags on the left and right, each hanging a Gongxian Arsenal. Made long-handled grenade.

The machine gunner of the light machine gun group carried a Czech light machine gun, and the ammunition soldier wore a four-unit leather Czech light machine gun chest sling.

Everyone has standard water bottles and dry food bags hanging on their left sides, gas mask bags hanging diagonally across their right sides, and leather German-style short bayonets hanging on their belts.

The backpack, lunch box and military blanket behind him are all standard equipment. The lower body is wearing leggings and the feet are wearing cloth shoes with thousand layers of soles. He Wei is quite satisfied with this military appearance. The clothing and equipment of these soldiers cannot be said. The best in China, at least, according to He Wei's integrated memory, is definitely not as good as the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps in Nanjing. The soldiers in the Teaching Corps use Mauser 1924 rifles imported from Germany, and their equipment is also imported. The leather bullet boxes and gas masks are also gas mask cans imported from Germany. Although He Wei's people are not as good as them, they are still at the top level in China.

Then, He Wei suddenly shouted loudly.

"Take a break!"

The soldiers immediately took a break.

"If you make another move, stand at attention! Fix your bayonet!"

With the sound of the bayonet being unsheathed, the soldiers quickly stood on their feet. With the sound of the bayonet being unsheathed and the bayonet being jammed with the rifle, the shiny bayonets were mounted on the gun one after another. Not to mention that all the basic movements were neat and uniform. But it is indeed very fast, which shows that he has received good training.

Seeing some clues, He Wei cleared his throat and said: "Brothers, let's stop talking nonsense. Everyone knows that our battalion was attacked by the Japanese this morning while marching to Yongxing Village. I am very lucky. I was knocked unconscious by the shell, but I didn't suffer any injuries. When I woke up, I ran into a few Japanese soldiers, and I killed them all. It's that simple. Now I'm going to gather the brothers together for a lecture. First, I want to tell you that as long as you listen My commander, the Japanese have nothing to fear. Not long after I graduated from the military academy, one of them killed several of them. Many of my brothers have been soldiers longer than me. They are veterans, so there is nothing to fear. Don't be frightened just because you were attacked in the morning." He Wei changed the subject, and his eyes instantly became sharp, scanning the soldiers below: "However, if you don't listen to my command, or if there is someone when the enemy is at hand, What are you thinking, don’t blame the shell gun in my hand for being unkind!"

The dagger-like gaze made all the soldiers feel chilled. Everyone felt that the new platoon leader seemed to be a different person, especially Yang Biao, the deputy squad leader of the first squad. He had previously relied on his status as a veteran. He Wei was very angry, but for just one day, the look in He Wei's eyes and every word he spoke made him a little frightened!
Seeing that the fire was almost done, He Wei waved his hand: "Let's disperse, continue to build fortifications, a few squad leaders and deputy squad leaders will come over."

The soldiers immediately dispersed, and several squad leaders and deputy squad leaders came over and slapped them. They should also give sweet dates. He Wei reached into his pocket, took out two and a half packs of cigarettes that he had surrendered to the Japanese, and opened the I kept half of the package in my shoulder bag and handed the other two boxes over.

Although He Wei does not smoke, cigarettes are of great use in the army.

"I got some cigarettes from Gou Ri's body. I worked hard digging the fortifications. I'll give these two full packs to the brothers to scatter."

"Okay, platoon leader, we'll disperse when we're done. These are some good stuff, the little devil's Xuguang cigarettes."

Second squad leader Luo Youdao's eyes flashed, and he snatched the cigarette case from He Wei's hand with a swish.

The three squad leaders held cigarettes and continued to urge the soldiers of each squad to build fortifications. He Wei also jumped into the trench. A row of 16-year-old messenger Tao Heiwa followed He Wei and helped He Wei carry the Zhongzheng rifle and protect him from poison. Mask, and satchel, with the Japanese candy He Wei just gave him in his mouth, smiling broadly.

"Work! Work!"

He Wei picked up the shovel and shouted twice. As he walked to the corner of the trench, he saw a man squatting in the trench, not doing any work. He saw that it was Yang Biao, the deputy of the squadron whom he was not dealing with.

Yang Biao looked at He Wei, his eyes averted, and he wanted to speak but held back. He felt that He Wei was obviously different from before after he came back. For some reason, he met He Wei's sharp and murderous eyes. , Yang Biao was stuck in his throat, and even a little hairy.

In addition, Yang Biao had just shot He Wei. Although it was an accidental injury, it was still somewhat unfair after all.

If the seventy-nine-rifle bullet fired by the Zhongzheng rifle missed even an inch, He Wei would have been shot through the neck! Ever since He Wei was assigned to a trainee row, Yang Biao had repeatedly made things difficult for him. The two of them were very difficult to deal with, let alone He Wei, the last platoon leader who died in action was also bullied by Yang Biao. He was simply a public enemy of the platoon leader.

It can be said that this guy took out his anger on the platoon leader when he was demoted instead of being promoted to an officer. He Wei and him can also be said to have "deep grudges."

They are indeed sworn enemies!
If He Wei took the opportunity to use the accidental shooting incident to make trouble, hold on to him, retaliate, turn the accidental shooting into a deliberate shooting of the officer, and escalate the matter to the top, Yang Biao would know that he would probably not get any good results.

Yang Biao is a rough man, Biao is a Biao, but he is not two hundred and five. If the conflict between a second lieutenant and a corporal becomes serious, anyone who is not a fool will know who will suffer in the end.

"Your shot was good, but it was a little bit off."

He Wei pointed at the bright red wound on his neck, his tone was neither cold nor hot, and his attitude was hard to tell. He looked at Yang Biao with a cold light in his eyes, then took out the half pack of cigarettes from his shoulder pocket and shook it. Take out one.

"Japanese cigarettes, let's smoke one after you finish your work."

Yang Biao glanced at He Wei, looking left and right. His face was red. The soldier who had always been domineering was now embarrassed and speechless.

"Hey..." He Wei didn't care about the nonsense he had with Yang Biao. He killed the Japanese soldiers. He came to this year inexplicably. He adapted quickly. When he came, he fought! He was also a soldier in his previous life. There is nothing to say, the matter is over, there is only two words - fight!
He Wei was noncommittal and walked sideways past Yang Biao. As the saying goes, he used his three-point movement and threw a piece of Japanese candy into his mouth. It tasted sweet in the mouth. After adding some sugar, he rolled up his sleeves and waved the shovel. , digging soil and trenches, blending into a row of 37 brothers, immersed in flying sand and dust...
