Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"OK."

Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"Why do they all look like little wolf cubs?"

"This time, it was your acting platoon leader's idea to let you go out and develop independently."

"But don't worry, it's not that the group doesn't want you anymore."

"It's just that we are now wealthy and powerful, and your second platoon is the most powerful in our independent regiment."

"It's like you two are all grown-up girls, the most beautiful young wives in this area."

"Then this girl will have to find a good man to marry when she grows up."

"If you keep a grown-up girl like you at your parents' home, you'll definitely develop some problems."

"did you see."

Li Yunlong pointed to a batch of light and heavy machine guns and food supplies on the open space next to him and said.

"This batch of weapons is the dowry that our family has prepared for you."

"I will marry you off now, and you will live a good life with your acting platoon leader Lin Tian."

"Fighting the Japanese and expanding the team is like living a good life."

"Although you are married, our independent regiment is still your mother's home."

"Hey, right? Then come back from time to time to visit our family."

"I can't come back empty-handed this time when I'm at my mother's house."

"When the time comes, I won't think one or two small steel cannons are too few, and I won't think eight or ten Type 99 rifles are too many."

"If you have the ability, bring back a few Japanese women, and I, Old Li, won't mind."

"When the time comes, you can live your own lives well, but don't forget our poor family."

"You little bastards, don't forget me, your leader."

Li Yunlong's words made the soldiers in the second row laugh. When Lin Tian told them that he wanted to go out and develop independently, everyone thought that the regiment didn't want them anymore.

Now hearing Li Yunlong's words in person, everyone's concerns were dispelled.

The atmosphere, which was originally a little heavy, became particularly relaxed and cheerful after Li Yunlong said this.

I have to say that Li Yunlong is really good at leading troops.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Yunlong gave the order.

"Now, read out the regiment's decision."

"Lin Tian, ​​the acting platoon leader of the 2nd Platoon, 2nd Battalion, Independent Regiment, is a capable fighter and has made many military achievements. The regiment committee has decided that Comrade Lin Tian will officially serve as the platoon leader of the 2nd Platoon, 2nd Battalion."

"Platoon Leader Lin Tian, ​​take your men and set off."

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, the soldiers in the second row burst into cheers.

The platoon leader was finally officially appointed as the platoon leader, and everyone felt more confident. It was so exciting to follow Lin Tian in fighting the Japanese.

After saying goodbye to their comrades in the regiment, the soldiers followed Lin Tian, ​​carrying their weapons and food.

……

After marching for a day, at around midnight, Lin Tian led the second row of people to a mountain.

The winter wind in northwest Shanxi is so cold that it feels like a knife blowing on the face. The soldiers are wearing thin clothes and shivering in the cold wind as if they are not wearing any pants.

Lin Tian's teeth were chattering uncontrollably and he was shivering from the cold.

Looking at the soldiers' appearance, Lin Tian couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.

After observing the terrain for a while, I found that although this is a mountainous area, the terrain inside the mountains is relatively flat, and the surrounding mountains block out most of the cold air and wind.

Moreover, the terrain is dangerous, so the troops can rest here for a night.

Lin Tian then ordered everyone to rest temporarily in several dilapidated caves halfway up the mountain.

Since he hadn't decided on a destination before setting off, Lin Tian could only take things one step at a time.

There were a few dilapidated caves halfway up the mountain, which could just accommodate the thirty-two people.

After entering the cave, we lit a few fires and it immediately became much warmer.

The soldiers put their weapons and equipment in place, boiled some water, ate some dry food, went outside to gather some hay, spread it on the ground, and then lay down on it to rest.

Several sentries took turns standing guard outside to ensure everyone's safety.

Looking at the dry food in his hand that was enough to break your teeth if you took a bite of it, Lin Tian’s thoughts drifted away.

In his previous life, Lin Tian was a picky eater, even though the elders in his family always taught him to save food.

And the line "Every grain of rice is hard-earned" is the first line of ancient poetry that every child learns to read.

But Lintian lived in a peaceful era, an era of abundance and plenty of food and drink.

Naturally, I don’t have any deep impression of the famine described by the older generation, and the only impressions I have come from movies and TV.

Although Lin Tian also knew that he should save food, he would still choose to pick out the food he didn't like, or leave it at the bottom of the bowl.

Sometimes I just take a few bites and throw it away without even thinking of saving it for the next day.

It has been several months since he came to the world of Bright Sword. Now seeing how poorly the soldiers eat, Lin Tian feels regretful in his heart, wondering how many sins he had committed in his previous life.

I couldn't help but shed a few tears.

Fang Zheng, who was standing next to him, looked at Lin Tian and poked Dahai, who was eating.

The two looked at Lin Tian. They had followed Lin Tian for so long, but this was the first time they saw Lin Tian like this.

"Platoon leader, what's wrong with you?" Dahai asked cautiously.

"No...nothing."

Lin Tian quickly calmed himself down and said.

"I was watching the soldiers eating coarse food and thinking about the Japanese invaders looting our land."

"Why do the invaders enjoy a life of luxury every day, while we, the masters of this land, can only hide in the mountains and eat dry food?"

"It's so shameful and infuriating!"

Lin Tianxia subconsciously clenched his fist and smashed it down hard.

Lin Tian's words reached the ears of the soldiers, and the soldiers in the cave also showed extreme anger.

They all shouted that they must drive the Japanese out of their homes.

Lin Tian looked at everyone’s high morale, united against a common enemy.

He was very happy and called over two squad leaders and key members of each squad. They gathered together and opened the military map.

Lin Tian pointed to Majia Town, which was 20 miles away, and said, "We will rest here tonight. I will have a batch of new equipment to distribute to everyone after breakfast tomorrow morning."

"After receiving the equipment and firing a few shots to get used to it, we will set out in the afternoon and hide in the outskirts of Majia Town after dark."

"We must fight well and beautifully in this first battle after we get out."

When several people heard that there was a battle to be fought, their eyes lit up with excitement. In the minds of everyone in the second row, they could be invincible by following Lin Tian, ​​and it would be very exciting to fight the Japanese.

A few people nodded and went back to rest with a smile.

The next morning, it was just dawn.

All the people in the second row have gathered in the open space in front of the cave.

Lin Tian walked to the front of the queue and laughed.

"Comrades, today is the first day that our platoon officially develops independently."

"This is a special day, a day that all of us in the second platoon will remember."

"So, as platoon leader, I decided to give everyone a gift."

"First squad leader!"

"Yes!" the squad leader Hai shouted.

"Take a group of people to the foot of the mountain and bring up the new weapons I prepared for you."

"Yes, platoon leader, we will ensure that the mission is completed!" Squad leader Zhao Dahai was very happy when he heard it.

The new weapon that he had been thinking about all night was about to be seen, so he happily led a group of people down the mountain.

He was even more excited than meeting a blind date he had never met before.

After a while, a team of people brought back 32 brand new Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and corresponding bullets.

Looking at these guns that I have never seen before, they seem very powerful at first glance.

Everyone in the second row had their eyes wide open, some of them almost popped their eyeballs out.

"Platoon... Platoon Leader, what kind of gun is this?"

A soldier asked, stuttering in shock.

"Haha, good question." Lin Tian said with a smile.

"This gun is called the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. It can be loaded with 10 rounds of 7.62mm bullets at a time and can fire continuously."

"The rate of fire is fast, the accuracy is high, and we are very decisive in hitting the Japanese."

"It's not like our old Hanyang-style rifle. It's more advanced than the Zhongzheng-style rifle. Even the Japanese Type 38 rifle can't compare to it."

"The guns we used before, we pulled the bolt every time we fired a shot, and this is nothing compared to it."

"Don't you think about it? If the Japanese soldier shoots at you with a Type 38 rifle but misses you, he will have to pull the bolt again and aim and shoot again."
