Rise From Eight Hundred

The person who represented the Sihang Regiment was a second lieutenant platoon leader of the 4th Battalion Artillery Company!

During the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, this was a sergeant mortar gunner in the machine gun company to which Lei Xiong belonged.

In a German-equipped division like the 88th Division, those who can serve as sergeants must have some level of skill, and this veteran named Zheng Xianping is the first gunner of the 524th Regiment.

Because there were no guns available later, they could only retreat to the concession with the main force of the regiment. Later, he followed Shangguan Yun and others to Taihang Mountain and was promoted from sergeant to second lieutenant platoon leader of the mortar platoon.

Zheng Xianping's most amazing skill is that he can accurately judge the distance with his naked eyes without relying on any rangefinder, and he seems to have a natural affinity with weapons such as artillery. No matter what kind of artillery, he can quickly get started.

If Shangguan Yun and Qin Ruoyu hadn't forced him to stay, he might have been dug up by Pang Dahai to the artillery battalion as the deputy company commander of the heavy mortar company.

The Japanese 50mm grenade launcher is just like a toy in his hand!

Shangguan Yun sent him out to win back face for the Fourth Battalion.

The main reason is that the Fourth Battalion is still a little behind the other three infantry battalions that have been established for a long time. Other infantry battalions have fist troops, such as the Iron Company of Wei Donglai in the First Battalion, the Hard Bone Company of Cai Yongguan in the Second Battalion, and the 7th Company of the Third Battalion, which is always the spearhead company in every battle. However, his Fourth Battalion has not been able to stand out and become famous.

Therefore, other infantry battalions can not win the championship in this military competition, but only the people of his Fourth Battalion cannot.

This faction is the god gunner in the entire Fourth Regiment.

Sure enough, Zheng Xianping lived up to expectations. The strict physical training of the Fourth Regiment allowed him to run the first two. After having enough time to adjust his breathing frequency, the god gunner made all five shots of the grenade launcher fall around the fortifications, and the farthest deviation was no more than 4 meters.

At the ultra-long distance of 500 meters, the effective range of the grenade launcher, and without any test firing, the crater deviated from the target by less than 4 meters, which is absolutely a god-level gunner.

This time, the 921st Division was far behind. The grenade thrower they sent out ran first, but two of the five grenades they fired missed the target 20 meters away and were not counted in the results, and three were about 8 meters away from the fortifications.

This should also be related to the fact that the 921st Division's guard battalion was not equipped with many grenade throwers. With the support of the Four-line Regiment, the guard troops of the 921st Division were now all equipped with German equipment, mainly submachine guns and Czech light machine guns, and the mortars were also the more powerful 82 mortars.

For the generals of the 80th Army, the fear of insufficient firepower did not actually start when they encountered the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War. Perhaps it had already penetrated into their bones when they confronted some people seven or eight years ago.

The Japanese 50mm grenade launcher was naturally regarded as a treasure in the early days, but with the continuous updating and iteration of new equipment, as the last trump card in the hands of the division commander, the guard battalion was naturally not equipped with it.

If the grenade throwers from the front-line troops of the two main regiments, the 772nd and 771st regiments, were brought in, the strength would probably be much stronger.

This phenomenon may not only exist in the 921st division, but also in the 101st, 28th and 17th divisions. On the contrary, the 12th and 104th divisions, which are less well equipped, perform much better.

Grenade throwers are treasures for the two of them, and even if they are guard units, they are equipped with a large number of them.

The equipment of the guard battalion of Li, the commander of the 104th division, can be said to be varied. The Liao-made 13 rifle is the main rifle, and the MP28 submachine gun is also not old or small. The squad, platoon and company commanders are all equipped with 20-shot revolvers, and the Japanese grenade launcher is a must for every guard squad.

There are long, medium and short-range firepower, and it is a hodgepodge of Chinese, Japanese and German products. It always makes people feel a little out of place, and battlefield ammunition supply is also a hidden danger.

But it has to be admitted that this originally defensive guard battalion can be pulled out and become an offensive field force at any time.

This is probably a helpless move of the 22nd Army Group as it is still lacking in equipment!

Therefore, the 104th Division shined in this round of competition and won the second place in one fell swoop, making a Sichuan Army Major General present at the scene so happy that he kept touching his head: "This son of a bitch insisted on winning, and he deserves a reward!"

Really, before participating in this military competition, even this Sichuan Army Major General who knew his own business was probably prepared to be at the bottom of all four events in the branch venue.

Who knew that he unexpectedly got the second place, not to mention the 5 submachine guns, and lost to the Four-Line Regiment.

The Four-Line Regiment was originally an infantry regiment directly under the group army. It is not shameful for the Sichuan Army to lose to the Sichuan Army. It is almost equivalent to the Sichuan Army brothers winning the first place together.

Good guy, just for this seemingly sound self-consolation, the optimistic attributes of Sichuan people are really among the top three in the country!

The 12th Division of the Yunnan Army also performed well. The short grenade thrower with a height of only 6 meters relied on the 4 grenades that were only 6 meters away from the fortifications and bravely won the third place.

The results of the last four are a bit disappointing. From the fourth to the last, they are all the big brothers, not to mention the second brother. It is normal for three shots to miss, and it is normal for one or two shots to hit.

Sometimes, too good weapons and equipment is also a problem, which makes officers and soldiers forget the use of more simple weapons.

This does not mean that we must live a hard life, but we must not forget the hard times.

As for whether the gunners of the Fourth Line Regiment sent out the front-line infantry battalion, whether they have taken a big advantage over the guards of other divisions, no fool would think so.

The Fourth Line Regiment has already completely eliminated grenade launchers and is equipped with small-caliber mortars. If it is stipulated that 60 mortars can be used, the performance gap may be even greater.

"Old Xu, did you see that? Our regimental guard company can't learn from the division and brigade. If we encounter the elite field troops of the Japanese that day, submachine guns and Mauser pistols alone will not work. We can only bite the bullet and passively take the beating. We can't waste this grenade launcher!" Wang Xiaoqiang whispered to Commander Xu, with a bit of pride on his face.

He specially recruited 9 grenade launchers in his guard company. This time, he came with the brigade commander, but he didn't bring so many people. He only brought a guard squad with all light weapons.

Otherwise, if he found a grenade launcher from his own guard company, I'm afraid the results would be better than the blushing mortar operator in the division guard battalion.

What is foresight? This is it.

"It's right to hold on to the grenade launcher, but I heard that the 60 mortar of the Fourth Line Regiment has a range of up to 1,500 meters!" Commander Xu replied slowly.

"Well, it's your eyes that are sharp. Let me think about how to persuade the chief to get some Tang Dao. If we can get four or five, I will definitely give you one." Wang Xiaoqiang slapped his thigh and was greatly inspired.

"Why is only one of the four or five given to me?" Captain Xu was stunned.

"Because this is for the face of me and the chief, you just lit a fire, and I can only give you one because we are old comrades for many years." Wang Xiaoqiang replied shamelessly.

"You, Wang, are really not a good guy. From now on, just pretend that we don't know each other." Even though he was used to Wang Xiaoqiang's shameless energy, Captain Xu couldn't help it at this moment.

He snatched a pack of unfinished cigarettes from Wang Xiaoqiang and sat away from him quickly.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you another one. You look so stingy. I can't overcome you by myself. You have to gossip to the brigade commander." Wang Xiaoqiang followed him.

"If you don't understand the words, don't use them. I'm not a traitor. I don't want to gossip!" Captain Xu was amused by this blacksmith.

"No matter what, the two leaders should know the importance of small-caliber mortars for this last place today. Maybe the leaders will have to drink with Tang Dao tonight. Do you believe it?" Wang Xiaoqiang didn't care about the words and went on to make a fool of himself.

"I don't believe it. Today is the wedding night of Captain Tang and reporter Tan Tai!" Captain Xu just shook his head.

"You are almost 30 and still can't find a wife, what are you going to do before the wedding night?"

"To make a fuss in the bridal chamber!"

"Then it's done. I'm going to ask the brigade commander to take you with him to make a fuss in the bridal chamber with his regiment commander Tang. If he doesn't invite the brigade commander and you to have a drink, who knows when the bridal chamber will start!"

"You..." Regiment commander Xu took a breath of cold air.

Good guy, Brigade commander Cheng and his regiment commander went to make a fuss in the bridal chamber together. Just thinking about this scene is too weird.

Moreover, are you serious about drinking with Tang Jiugang? That's a one-on-ten situation.

Thinking of the scene of drinking with Tang Dao in the brigade headquarters more than half a year ago, Regiment commander Xu felt a little trembling in his calves. Don't fight the Japanese and die, but drink to death.

That's not right! Why did the brigade commander take him to make a fuss in the bridal chamber? Why didn't it come from Wang Xiaoqiang who gave a bad idea? By the time Commander Xu came to his senses and wanted to settle accounts with this guy, he had already slipped away.

The cheers from the main venue were like a tsunami.

The three physical fitness events were the best to compete, just see who can do more.

Whether it was pull-ups, push-ups or sit-ups, the training ground facilities of the Four-Line Regiment were enough for seven contestants to compete together.

There was a pervert in the 28th Division who did 58 pull-ups in one breath. Even though he was almost exhausted at the end, he managed to do 60 more in the midst of the tsunami of cheers.

After asking, I found out that this guy was originally a stonemason. After joining the army, he started as a baggage soldier. His daily work was to carry bags and bags. In the end, because of his strength, he was selected to serve as an ammunition carrier in the guard battalion of Brigade Commander Hu.

During daily marches, he carried machine gun bullets for heavy machine guns. In Brigade Commander Hu, he had the reputation of a "mobile ammunition depot".

This is why he cannot participate in three events alone, otherwise he should be able to take the top three.

This actually shows the difference in nutrition level among the officers and soldiers of each division. The 28th Division is at least next to the Central Army. The food of the troops cannot be compared with that of the Japanese Army, but it is better than that of the other divisions.

The worst ones are the 921st Division and the 104th Division. Although these two divisions have received the most support from the Four-Line Regiment, they are the least favored by the Military and Political Department. Moreover, the 921st Division has fewer military funds because of the rapid personnel of An County and its own troops.

Although they are not all malnourished and pale, it is also a fact that they are not very strong.

Therefore, in terms of pure strength, they are still not as good as the other divisions, but they did not take the top three but did not come to the bottom either. They are basically fourth or fifth.

If it were not for the good news from the branch venue, with two first places to show off, I am afraid that the already serious Division Commander Liu would have a more serious face.

In the push-up event, Boss Cao sent by the Four-Line Regiment really won the championship as everyone imagined.

After doing 200 push-ups, he didn't sweat profusely like the others and almost collapsed, but he moved his arms to relax his muscles, which obviously meant he still had some strength left.

The 17th Division also finally performed well in the sit-up event, with a second lieutenant of the guard company who had just been promoted from guard squad leader winning first place.

Of course, he was promoted not because of his strong waist and abdomen, but because he was the guard squad leader who participated in blocking the Japanese infantry brigade with Long Yan.

Shaanxi Province Lengwa, who has been practicing Shaanxi Province Red Boxing since he was a child, did not gain an advantage in crushing him. He was only two ahead of a corporal who participated in the second place of the Four Lines Group.

In addition to pull-ups, push-ups and sit-ups are all given 5 minutes. The one who does the most within the specified time is the winner.

This is also a special situation that Tang Dao wanted to avoid in the future military competition. In his memory, a conscript did a total of 4115 sit-ups in 3 hours, an average of 23 sit-ups per minute.

Therefore, the prescribed time is given so that the contestants do not have the chance to lie down on the ground and rest for a second, maximizing the explosive power of their waist and abdominal strength.

The corporal of the baggage battalion of the Fourth Army Regiment did 246 in five minutes. It was amazing to complete one in almost 2 seconds, but in the end the guard platoon leader of the 17th Division did 248.

Of course, the performance of the other departments was not bad either. The worst one did 193. With terrifying waist and abdominal strength, he was a strong man. Even if he came in last place, he did not embarrass his superiors.

When these three events were completed, the most adrenaline-fueled unarmed combat and wooden spear stabbing finally came!

It has to be said that even in today's era where hot weapons dominate the battlefield, the most exciting thing is the close combat where fists touch flesh or swords touch blood.

The competition hasn’t even started yet, the ‘17th Division is bound to win! ’, ‘921 Division is first! ’ The sound of cheering for his comrades was already shaking the whole place.

At the branch venue, those who had already watched the gun shooting and were attracted by the shocking slogans were also running towards this side.

Seeing that the emotions of the troops were so high, the organizing committee temporarily moved the competition venue to the center of the training ground so that it could be seen clearly from any direction.

The wooden sandbag obstacles originally placed on the sidelines were also moved first to avoid blocking the view.

Taking advantage of this time difference, the seven officers and soldiers participating in unarmed combat and stabbing skills each drew lots.

Because this is a fight against each other, it is impossible to engage in a big melee. You can only follow the order of the draw. The person who draws the 7th lottery will get a bye, and then form a four-person round with the three winners. After the duel, the remaining two will advance to the finals. Fight for first place.

There is no need to compete for the remaining five rankings. The referee Tang Dao will give the rankings based on the performance on the fighting field.

Those who have a bye will definitely have the most advantage. They don’t have to put in any effort and can just wait and see. In this situation where the strength is almost the same, the possibility of entering the finals is higher than 90%.

But this is already the way to determine the ranking in the shortest time, not to mention that luck is a part of strength.

As a result, the most embarrassing scene occurred.

A senior soldier from the mountain infantry company who represented the Four Lines Regiment was drawn No. 7. The division commanders were a little dumbfounded. That person was not an ordinary person, but Mr. Han, the chief fighting and spearmanship instructor of the Four Lines Regiment. They all nodded and praised him. ruthless person.

In the battle of Shaiyue Valley, six Japanese soldiers were killed by the Jiuli tribe's long sword!

The unique ferocity of ethnic minorities and the martial arts skills they learned from the birds and beasts of the mountains were once a nightmare for the Han people.

If such a player gets a bye, how can he still be ranked first? So why are you guys trying to compete?

"Don't tell me that Luo Cheng, the leader of Tang Dynasty, is the most powerful general in a million-strong army. He single-handedly picked off five Japanese invaders outside the Sixings Warehouse. Why don't you take this opportunity today to let a few of us have a look?" 101 Teacher Dong of the division suddenly suggested.

"What I mean is that Commander Tang simply represents the Four Lines Regiment and competes with the other six officers and soldiers. Based on their performance, you will rate and determine the ranking.

After all, there is no rule saying that the regiment leader cannot participate in this military competition. The regiment leader is also a soldier! "

"Hey! This is a good idea. I have admired Brother Tang for his skills for a long time." Brigadier Hu nodded repeatedly.

He knew that the Tang Sword was very powerful, otherwise he would not have led a group of people to the other side of the Yellow River and disturbed the 3rd Division, but he had never seen it with his own eyes as to how powerful it was.

"Then this isn't the number one in the Four Elements Group?" the white-haired general said with a smile. "I don't think anyone can win a game while Captain Tang is exhausted."

"Isn't the point of the sports meeting that friendship comes first and competition comes second? The four-line group does not have a quota this time. It is enough to only take the top six. It will also save the four-line group a souvenir." Mr. Dong said with a smile.

Tang Dao

If you want to have fewer competitors, just say, am I the one who is missing a three-edged military thorn?

Tang Dao could tell that Mr. Dong, who had a kind and honest face, was also a man full of scheming. No wonder he would become a famous general in China in the future!

He didn't just want to get more submachine guns, he even had the intention to test Tang Dao's strength.

Everything must be heard and seen!

"I think it's okay, that's it!" Mr. Liu also nodded.

A bunch of big guys can really trick people!

Tang Dao glanced at these people, their smiles were bright, but no one seemed to feel sorry for him, the groom who would enter the bridal chamber in six or seven hours.

Otherwise, Brigadier Kong was so loyal that he weakly helped this brother Tang Dao: "Brother Tang will have to enter the bridal chamber later! Don't let anyone get hurt. It's hard for us to deal with the Tantai reporters. ”

"Old Kong, don't worry. Look at my brother. He has been fighting the Japanese for more than a year. Have the Japanese ever hurt him? It's impossible for them to compete with each other." Brigade Commander Cheng shook his head.

"Oh! OK, that's it." Brigade Commander Kong nodded repeatedly.

This singing and echoing is really too "clumsy", Tang Dao just wants to roll his eyes!

Damn, I haven't even served my wife yet! I actually have to fight a big battle with six big men. What's this?

Tang Tuanzuo was so angry that he was about to get scared!

"Okay, but change the rules. It's too troublesome to come one by one. Let the six of them come together!"()
