Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"I admire Commander Lin's broad-mindedness and his broad vision."

"When I came here earlier, I was worried that there might be a gap between us and Commander Lin might not welcome me."

"I didn't expect Commander Lin to be so enthusiastic. I am ashamed."

"Sure enough, a hero comes from a boy."

"Commander Lin should be less than 30 years old, right?"

"I will also call you Brother Lin and Brother Liu."

Chu Yunfei took a sip of tea, pursed his lips and said.

"Haha, to be honest, I'm just 25 years old this year. Luckily, the head of the headquarters valued me and allowed me to establish the First Military Division."

“I’m really ashamed!”

Lin Tian touched his nose and said.

Age is indeed Lin Tian’s shortcoming, he looks too young. Fortunately, he has experienced the baptism of war and has no facial cleanser to use, so he looks a little older.

You know, because of his delicate looks, Lin Tian was often mistaken for a high school student in later lives, which always caused trouble for people.

Then the two sides exchanged some commercial praise.

Chu Yunfei did not forget the purpose of this trip.

"Brother Lin, can I go visit your troops?"

“I have always wanted to see this team that continues to create miracles.”

Chu Yunfei asked tentatively.

Lin Tian laughed loudly upon hearing this, waved his hand and said, "Brother Yunfei, you don't have to be polite. All the secrets of our Division 1 are open to you, Brother Yunfei."

“Brother Chu, please!”

Lin Tian stood up and led the way.

After a while, several people arrived at the training ground.

At this time, the soldiers were conducting live-fire training.

"Oh!"

"Bang bang!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

There is not only rifle training, but also training with various light and heavy machine guns.

"Brother Lin, you guys are so generous!"

"I have heard that your army has always been thrifty, but I didn't expect that Brother Lin would actually conduct live-fire shooting training here."

"And I have never seen a lot of this equipment before."

"I originally thought that as a reinforced regiment, our 358th Regiment's firepower, resources, and other configurations may not be top-notch, but it is considered first-class in northwest Shanxi."

"I didn't expect that Brother Lin had more than thirty light and heavy machine guns for training alone."

"And what these soldiers are holding, could it be the genuine German-made Mauser 98K sniper rifles?"

"It's incredible. This gun is extremely rare even in the Central Army."

"And this rifle can fire 10 rounds with just one pull of the bolt."

"It's unbelievable. It completely subverts Chu's cognition."

"Could this gun be the latest semi-automatic rifle? It seems that only the U.S. Army is equipped with it, and this gun looks more sophisticated than the U.S. Army's."

"It's really amazing, Brother Lin!"

Chu Yunfei widened his eyes and said in surprise.

Lin Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard that.

What tradition of saving? Just say we are poor.

But it's not surprising that Chu Yunfei said that. Except for Lin Tian, ​​most of the other Eighth Route Army soldiers could carry the Hanyang-made rifles with the old casing. Even so, sometimes several people couldn't get one.

Not to mention the Japanese's Type 38 rifle, which was a real good thing and could only be obtained by seizing it.

Not to mention bullets, many times a soldier can only get five bullets.

In order to save bullets, our soldiers often wait until the enemy is very close before they are willing to shoot.

Moreover, the used bullet shells have to be carefully recovered. When cleaning the battlefield, the bullet shells on the ground are treasures.

Because they can be taken back and processed into bullets, but the quality of these secondary processed bullets is really not satisfactory.

Sometimes when soldiers encounter fierce battles, they often run out of bullets just as the battle begins.

They could only engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the enemy using swords and spears.

This shows that our army was indeed poor, and because bullets were expensive, our usual shooting training was just to practice aiming with the gun in hand.

Even the troops directly under the highest commander of their Central Army rarely use live ammunition for shooting training.

Let alone us peasants who rely on our own efforts to make a living.

So this scene really surprised Chu Yunfei. It seems that the First Military Sub-district is indeed unique.

No wonder they were able to wipe out nearly 8,000 Japanese soldiers with only a thousand men.

You should know that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the minimum ratio between the Chinese army and the Japanese army was seven to one.

Now it seems that Lin Tian’s troops do not rely on luck, but truly rely on their own hard power.

Chu Yunfei had always thought that his 358th Regiment was well-equipped and well-trained.

It seems that there is always someone better than you.

I became more certain that my trip was correct.

I became more curious about Lin Tian and wanted to stay here to communicate and learn more.

"Haha, Brother Chu, you're overpraising me."

"Why do our troops always collapse at the first blow against the Japanese, with heavy casualties?"

"Is it because our Chinese army is weak, without blood, and dares not fight the devils?"

"No!"

"After all, China is an agricultural country, while the Japs have already entered the industrial stage."

"Our equipment is so poor that we can only rely on imports or seizures."

"The Japanese had tanks and artillery below and planes bombing and strafing above."

"There are also huge ships and aircraft carriers at sea."

"As for us, we rely on our determination and will to defend our territory and resist the enemy."

"Our soldiers are very brave. They dare to carry explosive packs to blow up the enemy's tanks."

Lin Tian paused and looked at Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei also looked solemn at this time.

Yes, apart from the command and weapons and equipment, our soldiers are very brave.

Moreover, with the support of national hatred and family feuds, when it came to fighting the Japs, they were top-notch heroes and were absolutely decisive.

"Brother Lin is right. I have often wondered why we often lose battles while your army often wins."

"The Nationalist army is obviously better equipped and has a larger army, but it often collapses at the first blow. Hundreds of thousands of people are chased by hundreds of devils. It's pathetic!"

"What they hold in their hands are not even fire sticks!"

"But your army is poorly equipped and has fewer people than the Central Army, and is even inferior to some local miscellaneous troops. Yet, it poses a huge threat to the Japanese."

“But I don’t understand why.”

Chu Yunfei thought for a moment and said with a frown.

Lin Tian laughed, pointed at Liu Wu standing beside him, and said, "Brother Chu, Lao Liu was originally the head of your Central Army, but now he is assigned to my small military sub-district, which is just a platoon-level unit to the outside world."

"Brother Chu is in the Jinsui Army, so he must be confused by the authorities."

"I think Lao Liu should be able to answer Brother Chu's questions."

When Chu Yunfei heard this, he frowned and looked at Liu Wu in surprise.

"Oh?"

"Really?"

"I didn't expect that Brother Liu used to be the head of the Central Army. I am so sorry for the disrespect."

"Then I wonder if Brother Liu is willing to help me solve this puzzle?"

Chu Yunfei looked Liu Wu up and down and asked with curiosity.

"Of course, Captain Chu."

Liu Wu smiled and said frankly.

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Captain Chu if I say this."

"Although I, Liu Wu, am from Huangpu, I was excluded everywhere in the Central Army."
