Mengshan Army

Shi Dashou and more than [-] ex-New Army prisoners who voluntarily joined the Mengshan Army were not divided into various companies, but formed a separate company with the designation of the Fifth Company of the Mengshan Army.This decision made the captives, no, it should make the recruits of the Mengshan Army happy, but it disappointed the other four old companies.Because the number of people in each company is seriously short, in fact, even two complete platoons are barely enough. The company commanders originally hoped to enrich their companies with prisoners, but Long Qian made the decision to form a new company.

The commander of the fifth company is Lu Shan.Shi Dashou was appointed deputy company commander and first platoon leader.Before, the Mengshan Army did not have the establishment of a deputy company commander, and Shi Dashou was the first person to serve as a deputy company commander.The rest of the platoon leaders and squad leaders are all from the new army.Long Qian has been observing this captive unit. The platoon leaders appointed are all obedient and have high prestige among the soldiers. Therefore, the announcement of the establishment and appointment, the new company showed joy, and they expressed satisfaction with this arrangement .

Long Qian said to Lu Shan that you performed well during the period of demotion, which is the main reason why I appointed you to be in charge of the new company.This company is quite special, you know what is special.Now I want to see if your fifth company can catch up and surpass the other four companies in military training.

Lu Shan solemnly stated that I must do a good job in training and will not embarrass you by falling behind.

Long Qian reminded Lu Shan that the members of this company are different from other companies, you should pay attention to this feature, why don't you take them apart, you have to think about what I mean.It is necessary to make good use of their original strengths, but not to accommodate their shortcomings.The training of the new army is considered advanced in the country, but it does not mean that it is better than our training methods. For some subjects, you must give them make-up lessons as soon as possible.The second is to pay attention to solidarity with the platoon leader of the fifth company.

Lu Shan agreed one by one.

Long Qian finally reminded that Shi Dashou is an officer who resolutely joined our new army. I am going to set up this benchmark, so I appointed him as the deputy company commander.If you don't do well, I still have to remove you, so please remember this.

Long Qian also had a long talk with Shi Dashou, hoping that he would help Lu Shan lead the fifth company well, and make it the main company with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Mengshan Army.Long Qian talked about Lu Shan's strengths and weaknesses, and made no secret of his admiration for this old subordinate. Long Qian told Shi Dashou that he would pay special attention to the training and life of the fifth company. The current guns are not enough, and there will be more than half of the unarmed soldiers , it doesn't matter.After the next battle is over, the fifth company will have more people and a complete set of guns.

Shi Dashou thanked Long Qian for his trust, and expressed that he must obey the command of Company Commander Lu and help Company Commander Lu lead the fifth company well.

Everything went well.

There used to be a blacksmith shop in Mengshanzhai, whose mission was mainly to repair some damaged knives and guns.In the era of cold weapons, this is an indispensable mechanism for every larger cottage.

Wu Lie is a highly skilled blacksmith. Long Qian has seen the stirrups made by Wu Lie, which are simply works of art.That pair of stirrups was of course for Mr. Sun.This time when the ordnance team was established, Long Qian appointed Wu Lie as the leader of the ordnance team. Its members included two of Wu Lie's original apprentices. Long Qian selected three more skilled soldiers from the army and handed them over to Wu Lie. Hold up the stall.

In fact, there are still people who are suitable for entering the ordnance team, and they are all in Liang Huada's prison camp.Before Long Qian was unwilling to force them, according to Long Qian's observation, these new army captives showed more and more a tendency that he hoped, that is, to return to the Mengshan Army.In the current affairs class taught by Long Qian, he found more and more figures of captives, which was a signal.Long Qian knew that the overall quality of Liang Huada's people was higher, but the twists and turns were not sweet. Only when they were really willing to join this group, could they really use the abilities they had acquired through training.Now, more than [-] captives have become the fresh blood of the Mengshan Army. Not long after the establishment of the Fifth Company, Long Qian drew three soldiers from the former Liang Huada supply team from the Fifth Company and arranged them into Wu Lie's ordnance Group.No other reason, just because they have the skills to repair ordnance.

The shooting training is still going on, but the disassembly, cleaning and maintenance of firearms have been added.If you don't understand the structure and principle of a rifle, it's hard to be a good shooter.In this regard, the members of the new army are obviously more intelligent than those in Meng Shanzhai.At present, the entire army possesses a variety of firearms, half of which are imported firearms, such as the 1888 Committee type made in Germany, the Mosin-Nagant type in Russia, the Murata type in Japan, and domestic imitation German-made rifles.The caliber is also very chaotic, 6.5mm, 7.92mm, 7.62mm, which makes the management of ammunition difficult.Before that, Long Qian tried to make unified arrangements according to the source and caliber of the guns. For example, Ye Yanbing's first company and Wang Mingyuan's second company were all German 7.92mm calibers, and Feng Lun's third company was Japanese. The fourth company of Guozhu uses Russian-made 7.62mm guns.The fifth company is more chaotic, the gun is not good, there is no way.

It is not realistic to unify the caliber of guns now.So Long Qian paid more attention to the ordnance group.

Wu Lie was very happy that Long Qian attached great importance to his blacksmith shop. All the tools and fine steel seized in Damaoyang Town were transported back to the cottage. These things are guaranteed to make two or three hundred high-quality steel knives for the village.

Long Qian stopped Wu Lie's enthusiasm, saying that you will no longer need to make steel knives and spears and old-fashioned armor. When is this?Can those things stop foreign guns and cannons?You have seen it all, when a flowering cannonball is fired, a dozen people are gone.Wu Lie said embarrassingly, we can't do foreign guns and cannons.Long Qian said that of course you can't do it now, but you will definitely be able to do it in the future.What you need to do now is these few things. As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket, on which were drawn patterns and sizes marked with charcoal.To Wu Lie's surprise, each pattern is three pictures in different directions, which can be understood after a short glance. species of people.Long Qian taught him that these three pictures are called three views, the front view, the left view view and the top view view. When the three pictures are combined, this thing cannot be hidden.He taught Wu Lie how to be tall, tall, and wide equally, and Wu Lie learned it immediately.

Long Qian said that this is science. In the future, you must learn to draw pictures when you create things, so that not only you can understand, but also others can understand.

Wu Lie looked at the pattern, it was very simple, one was a three-edged bayonet, and the other was a round shovel, so he said it was easy to do, and I could make it.Long Qian said that the bayonet should be equipped with a rifle, called a military bayonet, because there are many types of rifles on the mountain, so the bayonets you build cannot be of the same size, and you must ensure that they can all be installed on the barrel of the gun.And this shovel, don't underestimate him, it is not only a tool for digging trenches, but also a sharp weapon for hand-to-hand combat.The key is to have a good steel mouth. The current conditions are like this, and I don’t expect you to develop fine steel. As far as those materials are concerned, you can give me fifty shovels, and the rest can be used as military stabs.

The three-edged groove stumped Wu Lie, so he asked Long Qian to discuss it. Long Qian said that the most special feature of this military stab is the three-edged bleeding groove. You must know that the current military bayonet has a shortcoming, that is, it is easy to get the bayonet stuck on the opponent in hand-to-hand combat. In the body, the opponent's bones will hold a curved bayonet, which is very fatal in battle.And what I want you to do doesn't happen that way.The triangular groove will bleed a lot, and the bayonet can be drawn out smoothly.Another advantage of this kind of triangular army thorn is that it is very fatal to the enemy's wounds, and any good man will be crippled if he is thorned.

Wu Lie shivered, imagining the scene of a bayonet with a deep bleeding groove piercing his body.Long Qian, who is like an elder brother to his brothers Xun Xun, talks about killing people like a butcher.

The bayonets seized from the army are easier to make, but the head of Long has already explained why that kind of bayonet is not as good as this three-edged bayonet.As Wu Lie lit the fire to make the small round shovel, he racked his brains to figure out how to make the three bleeding grooves that Long Qian wanted.

The hemp paper brought back from Maoyang Town also came in handy, this time Long Qian found Sun Juan.At present, the medical team affiliated to Song Jinguo's logistics team currently has not many wounded patients available for care.The seven women who were reborn because of Long Qian's respect burst out with great enthusiasm. Recently, under the leadership of Sun Juan, they used the looted cloth to make military uniforms. Of course, they referred to the military uniforms of Yuan Shikai's new army.

Wu Lie's small shovel was finally made, but the triangular army thorn could not be made anyway.The three "new army traitors" who joined the ordnance team admired Long Qian's drawing of the three-sided army assassination, but they also lacked the necessary conditions and could not do it.

The leader Jin Ruigong was originally a shed (squad leader) of Liang Huada's delivery team. He thought that the bayonet designed by Long Qian was very powerful, but it must have good steel and a special foundry to do it. not come out.

"If you can't figure it out, let it go first! It doesn't matter." Long Qian patted Jin Ruigong on the shoulder, "Yes, Lao Wu said that you three are all good! Believe it, we won't be trapped on the mountain forever. Wait for us Once you get out of the mountains, the conditions will gradually improve.”

It's not that Wu Lie has no achievements at all, another task assigned to him by Long Qian has been completed.Although the shovel designed by Long Qian is different from the common shovels nowadays, the principle is similar. Wu Lie first made two carefully and called Long Qian to inspect the goods.

"That's right," Long Qian's left thumb slowly slid across the edge of the shovel, trying to steel fire.The conditions on the mountain are limited, and Wu Lie's craftsmanship comes from the master, so he completely knows what it is and does not know why it is for metal heat treatment.Of course, this shovel can't be compared with the ones produced on the assembly line in industrialized countries, but it's in good shape, and even the wooden handle is completely copied from Long Qian's drawing, leaving a bulge at the end, so that it will be more convenient to use, " Old Wu, how many times can you hit this thing in a day?"

"Even if you add manpower," Wu Lie looked up at the three newcomers, "up to two. Unless you add another set of guys."

"Okay, during this period of time, you will try your best to build this thing, as much as you can make. The bayonet, let's put it down for now."

Jin Ruigong admired the small round shovel designed by Long Qian very much. It is only one foot and six inches in length, and it can be carried on the back for marching without being cumbersome at all.It is definitely a sharp weapon for infantry, not only can be used to dig individual bunkers, but also a good weapon for melee combat.Thinking about it, Jin Ruigong couldn't help waving a small round shovel to make gestures.

"Okay, the room is too small, be careful not to hurt people." Long Qian stopped Jin Ruigong with a smile.

"Commander, is this your design?"

"of course."

"This thing can also be folded back, which is more convenient." Jin Ruigong stroked the smooth handle.

"That's right. Then you need to install a smart device here. The conditions on the mountain are too bad to make it, so I didn't mention it to Lao Wu. That's right, this is how weapons are designed. It is close to actual combat. Whatever is needed on the battlefield, you can design it." What to manufacture." Long Qian smiled and said to the ordnance group, "Don't be discouraged, we are poor now, but it doesn't mean we will be poor in the future. Remember my words, in the future not only the ordnance group will expand, but also have its own military factory, Make guns, make cannons, whatever weapons other people have, we will make them, and they will be better than theirs."
