A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

Zhang Dabiao also walked in front of Shen Quan.

"Shen Quan, whether I am worthy of being the battalion commander or not, we will find out on the battlefield when we fight the Japanese!"

Wang Chengzhu hurried forward and acted as a peacemaker in front of the three people.

Li Yunlong did not persuade him.

The four battalion commanders were secretly competing with each other. When the time came, they would all have to put their best efforts to fight the Japanese and rush to make merit. This was a good thing for the New 1st Regiment.

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad.

Zheng Kaixuan was happy to be the battalion commander, but when he turned around, he saw Wang Xikui standing beside him with a depressed look on his face.

Wang Xikui followed Li Yunlong much earlier than Wang Chengzhu, and not a few days later than Shen Quan.

Wang Xikui is also a sharpshooter and has excellent qualities. Why is Wang Xikui missing from this matter concerning the battalion commander?

"Captain, Xizi hasn't been appointed yet."

Wang Xikui looked at Zheng Kaixuan gratefully, thanking him for speaking up for him.

Li Yunlong slapped his thigh.

"Hey! With all the fucking interference from you guys, I almost forgot about Xizi."

"I now announce that Wang Xikui is appointed as the commander of the guard company."

Wang Xikui was not picky.

The company commander is fine too. After all, he is willing to protect Li Yunlong.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Also, Deputy Commander of the Fourth Battalion!"

"Yes!"

Everyone could see that Li Yunlong was taking care of Zheng Kaixuan.

In fact, the other three battalion commanders are all veterans with rich experience and broad knowledge.

Only Zheng Kaixuan was a new recruit who had just graduated. Although he was brave in fighting and had a knack for modifying weapons, Li Yunlong was afraid that he was only good at talking and would be at a loss when he really had to make decisions on his own.

Wang Xikui usually serves as the commander of the guard company. At critical moments in battle, he would go to help Zheng Kaixuan and give him advice and make decisions.

"As for the allocation of soldiers, the tentative plan is to have 80 men per battalion. You will select yourselves and respect the wishes of the soldiers."

Now the entire new regiment has only about 300 people in total, the kitchen team has seven or eight people, and the guard company has about twenty people, all of whom are veterans.

There were only about 310 to 320 people left, less than a battalion of other regiments.

It would be great if each battalion of the new regiment could be allocated 80 people.

"I'm willing to join the Fourth Battalion!"

"I'm also willing to join the Fourth Battalion!"

"I also want to join the Fourth Battalion..."

When it came to the voluntary registration stage, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and Wang Chengzhu were all dumbfounded.

All these new recruits rushed towards Zheng Kaixuan.

After all, what Zheng Kaixuan said in the square of the pseudo-military camp was recognized by most people.

On the way to Wei Zhuang, they also heard the veterans talk about Zheng Kaixuan's glorious deeds.

So about 80% of the recruits ran to Zheng Kaixuan.

Of course, there were also a few people who liked to play with cannons and ran to Wang Chengzhu. After all, Wang Chengzhu now had the only grenade launcher of the New 1st Regiment in his hand.

Those who like to play with swords chose Zhang Dabiao first. Everyone now knows that Zhang Dabiao was from the 27th Army's sword team, so he must be good at playing with swords.

A few people who preferred machine guns also stood next to Shen Quan.

But among the more than 300 people, at least 270 or 280 ran towards Zheng Kaixuan.

Although the other three were envious, they had no choice.

Zheng Kaixuan was neither polite nor humble.

Now is not the time to be humble.

The four battalions were now fiercely competing! Who was the main force, and who was the elite? Sooner or later, the difference would be determined.

"you you you……"

Zheng Kaixuan selected 80 strong and powerful men at once and incorporated them all into his own army.

After Zheng Kaixuan finished his selection, the rest of the people were assigned to the other three camps.

Today is a good day, and everything I wanted to do has been accomplished.

Li Yunlong had an injured horse killed and several large pots of delicious horse meat stewed.

He took out a few bags of flour and steamed hundreds of steaming white buns.

Finally, Li Yunlong took out three boxes of confiscated liquor and treated all the soldiers to a delicious meal.

After a short rest, in the afternoon, all the members of the joint camp were gathered together and taken to the open space at the foot of the mountain at the entrance of the village to carry out large-scale military training.

Li Yunlong was in charge of the operation, Wang Xikui taught the shooting posture, and Zhang Dabiao taught the stabbing and slashing techniques.

Zheng Kaixuan and several others also took turns demonstrating combat skills and supervising the soldiers.

No live-fire shooting was conducted.

After all, the New 1st Regiment’s current financial resources are not that abundant, and every bullet fired is one less bullet.

Another reason is that the area surrounding Wei Zhuang’s base is full of Japanese troops and spies.

Once the sound of gunfire spreads and attracts the enemy's attention, the entire New 1st Regiment will probably be finished before it can even form combat effectiveness.

Even so, the training effect is very effective.

In the severe winter with temperatures below ten degrees Celsius, the soldiers were still sweating profusely in the cold wind.

Some soldiers even took off their coats and trained shirtless.

After just seven or eight days, the soldiers' combat capabilities were greatly improved.

Most people no longer shake their hands holding the gun when practicing aiming, and their movements are more standard when practicing bayonet fighting.

When hearing orders from superiors, they react more quickly.

The cooperation and tacit understanding between the soldiers have also been initially formed.

Li Yunlong knew that there was no point in continuing the training without physical objects.

If you want to truly bring out this troop and form combat effectiveness, the fastest way to hone your skills is to go to the battlefield!

Only on the battlefield is the place where new recruits can transform the fastest.

Only after truly experiencing the baptism of blood and fire can recruits truly grow into veterans.

That morning, Li Yunlong called Zheng Kaixuan and others into the regiment headquarters.

"We wiped out the puppet army camp at Heiyunkou, but unexpectedly, we angered the Japanese."

"Recently, I received intelligence that there is a Japanese infantry squadron stationed more than ten miles away from Heiyunkou."

"After learning that the puppet army camp at Heiyunkou had been destroyed, the Japanese soldiers in this infantry squadron became extremely angry and began searching everywhere for us."

"Not only that, they are also committing all kinds of evil in this area."

"Instead of waiting for the devils to find Weizhuang, why not take the initiative and fight them?"

"Our new regiment has been formed. It's time to send the troops out for a tough battle!"

"However, considering that all of you brothers are new recruits, let's not set such a big goal for this first battle. Let's first take out a small Japanese infantry squad, and then gradually erode the Japanese squadron until we have completely wiped them out!"

"This time, we'll still focus on ambushes. I've decided to use a strategy of luring the enemy. First, I'll lure some of the Japanese soldiers to Heiyunkou, then block the entrance to the Heiyunkou Gorge to cut off their retreat. On the mountain road between Heiyunkou and Weizhuang, I'll kill a small group of Japanese soldiers."

"Which brother is willing to lead the team to lure out the devils?"

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, Zheng Kaixuan stood up without any hesitation.

"Captain! The Fourth Battalion is willing to carry out the mission of luring the enemy! Use me for the first battle! We will definitely win!"
