Bright Sword: Conquer the monk at the beginning and take down Zhou Weiguo

"Everyone!"

Qin Cang's eyes swept lightly over the soldiers, with a subtle smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm sure everyone has heard that starting today, our Special Operations Battalion will be renamed the Reinforced Regiment!"

"And Xuyang Village is where our base is."

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers cheered.

They had only heard about the adaptation, but Qin Cang had not announced it, so everyone was somewhat skeptical.

But now, after hearing Qin Cang say this with his own ears, he could no longer control the excitement in his heart.

"Since we are now organized at the regimental level, the positions of the personnel also need to be changed!"

"Zhou Weiguo, Commander of the Special Operations Battalion; Cao Zhuang, Commander of the Machine Gun Battalion; Ge Erdan, Commander of the Infantry Battalion; Wei Dayong, Commander of the Guard Battalion; Sun Desheng, Commander of the Cavalry Battalion!"

Having said that, Qin Cang paused briefly, then pointed to Wang Chengzhu standing in the front row and spoke slowly.

"Also, let me introduce a new person to you."

"Wang Chengzhu, commander of the artillery battalion!"

After the words were spoken, the soldiers did not react for a moment.

Still happy about the new members joining.

However, soon, the expressions on everyone's faces froze, and their eyes kept moving between Qin Cang and Wang Chengzhu.

"What did you hear just now? Artillery battalion?"

"You must be kidding! Our regiment doesn't have that many artillery pieces!"

"Exactly. And what's this guy's background? How come he's the battalion commander right off the bat? I've never heard of him before."

"Could the captain be wrong?"

"Such a big thing, how could it be possible!"

For a moment, discussions arose one after another, and everyone had a puzzled look on their face.

Looking at everyone, Qin Cang was extremely calm.

"I also heard what everyone was talking about just now."

"Some people question whether our regiment has enough artillery."

"Then let everyone see the strength of our reinforcement group!"

After the words fell, Qin Cang said loudly to Zhou Weiguo: "Zhou Weiguo, take thirty brothers and push the things in the warehouse out!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the soldiers immediately looked towards the warehouse eagerly.

Soon, under the leadership of Zhou Weiguo, eighteen cannons were slowly pushed out and lined up in a row in front of everyone.

Ten mortars, two mountain cannons, five grenade launchers, and one unknown artillery piece.

When the eighteen cannons were lined up in front of everyone, the feeling of oppression was simply overwhelming!

It is hard to imagine what the scene would be like when these artillery pieces are fully opened.

"hiss!"

For a moment, all the soldiers took a deep breath and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they looked at the artillery.

"Oh my God, so many artillery pieces!"

"Where did you get this, Captain? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"That's right. When we were in the Independent Regiment, didn't we only have three mortars? And the regiment commander even made a deal with us!"

"With these artillery pieces, it's no wonder the Japanese soldiers are kneeling down and calling us grandpa!"

Amidst the whispers, the soldiers' emotions gradually became more and more excited, and they couldn't wait to attack the Japanese and test their firepower!

"Captain!"

At this moment, Wei Dayong took a step forward, scratched his head, and said in a muffled voice.

"I recognize mortars, mountain cannons, and grenade launchers, but what's that big thing? Why have I never seen it before?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the discussion suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at Qin Cang at the same time, their expressions full of curiosity.

Hearing this, Qin Cang smiled softly and opened his lips: "Howitzer!"

“Howitzer!?”

The moment Qin Cang finished speaking, a voice full of shock and disbelief rang out.

The soldiers had never heard of this thing, but Zhao Gang had. After all, he graduated from a military academy and had a lot of experience.

"Qin Cang, are you sure you're not kidding?"

At this moment, Zhao Gang's breathing became heavier, and the excitement in his eyes could not be suppressed.

"A real howitzer!"

"Old Zhao, is it possible that you still don't trust me?"

After hearing Qin Cang's words, Zhao Gang could no longer control his emotions and laughed out loud: "Hahaha! I didn't expect to see a howitzer in the reinforced regiment. Not to mention our Eighth Route Army, even Chu Yunfei's rich reinforced regiment may not have such a thing!"

After a few words of emotion, Zhao Gang looked at the soldiers with a sharp gaze: "Everyone, do you know what a howitzer is?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone shook their heads.

But looking at Zhao Gang's reaction, he could guess in his heart that it was something he looked down upon.

"Howitzer, this thing is much more powerful than a mortar or mountain artillery!"

"We won't go into the technical stuff. All you need to know is that this thing is compatible with all kinds of shells. Take the Japanese city walls, for example. A few shots can create a breach!"

Listening to Zhao Gang's words, everyone couldn't help but imagine the scene of the howitzer firing in their minds.

"so smart!"

"Yeah, just hearing the name makes me feel very domineering!"

"Where did the captain get this good stuff?"

"What do you think the Japanese would react when they see this?"

At this moment, the soldiers' tone and expressions were full of emotion.

"Do you think our reinforced regiment has the resources to form an artillery battalion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a loud roar rang out on the battlefield.

"Have!"

Hearing this, Qin Cang nodded with great satisfaction, then looked at Wang Chengzhu: "Zhuzi, you also heard everyone's doubts about you just now."

"To me, doubts aren't a big deal. The key is how to transform people's view of you from doubt to admiration."

"The artillery battalion has just been established. I need you to select enough soldiers as quickly as possible and conduct rigorous training!"

"I have only one request for our artillery, and that is to hit the target without missing a shot. When we need you, you must demonstrate the momentum of our reinforced regiment and make the Japanese tremble in fear at the mere mention of the word 'artillery battalion'!"

"can you do it?"

After the words fell, Wang Chengzhu looked at Qin Cang with eyes full of emotion and determination: "I guarantee to complete the task!"

To be honest, even Wang Chengzhu didn't expect that Qin Cang would think so highly of him. Not only was he willing to use three mortars to recruit him, but now that he had just joined the reinforced regiment, he went against all odds and entrusted him with such an important task.

"very good!"

"From today on, all these artillery pieces will be in your custody!"

After saying this, Qin Cang looked at the soldiers again and said loudly: "From now on, if you have any problems in life or thinking, please go to Political Commissar Zhao to discuss it."

"Also, since we're new here, harassing the people or taking their belongings is strictly prohibited. If you're caught doing so, you'll be severely punished!"

After briefly explaining the rules, Qin Cang let the soldiers disperse. After all, they had just arrived in Xuyang Village and there were still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with.
