Firearms Training

  Chiang Kai-shek is having a confidential discussion with his trusted aide Tang Enbo about the war situation at the front.

  Tang Enbo held in his hand the top-secret intelligence passed on by Old Wang to Chiang Kai-shek.

  Chiang Kai-shek asked: "Enbo, you studied in Japan and know more about the country. Do you think this intelligence is reliable?"

  Tang Enbo nodded and said, "The intelligence on this tactic is very consistent with the Japanese army's tactical thinking and the current battlefield situation. It can be said that the accuracy of this intelligence is very high."

  Chiang Kai-shek looked at Tang Enbo and asked: "If the battlefield situation develops in this way, what will happen to the Fifth War Zone?"

  Tang Enbo shook his head and said, "Although the Japanese army has only three divisions, the terrain near Xuzhou is suitable for the deployment of mechanized troops. Moreover, most of the troops in the Fifth War Zone are local forces, which are difficult to command and coordinate. The equipment is also poor."

  Chiang Kai-shek understood the meaning of Tang Enbo's words and said: "That's also a defense, Enbo this time transferred your 20th Army to go up, you must give the Central Army a good show! Can't let the local troops look down on us."

  Tang Enbo smiled bitterly and said, "Principal, several months have passed since the war began. We fought in Shanghai and Nanjing, all against the Central Army. Take a look at how many of your basic troops are left. And how many people are left in those local military units? Principal, my intention is that we should save as much as possible!"

  Chiang Kai-shek nodded thoughtfully.

  Xuzhou front line, today that Li Xingruo came to tell himself early in the morning that the commander-in-chief of the war zone wanted to see him. Old Wang still had a good impression of Li Zongren in his heart. Whether it was the Battle of Xuzhou or later returning to the mainland, this man's noble character was revealed.

  So today Old Wang got up early, washed and dressed neatly, and rushed straight to the war zone commander's headquarters.

  He was led by the secretary to the outside of Director Li's office

  。

  Knock on the door.

  The person inside the door said lazily: "Come in!"

  Old Wang thought to himself: "It seems I'm still not welcome."

  As soon as I entered, I found an older military officer sitting in the main seat. Next to him was a general.

  Old Wang gave a military salute and introduced himself: "I am Wang Xiangjun, the head of the Military Affairs Office in Xuzhou, here to report to Director Li."

  Li Zongren's expression didn't change at all, still with an unperturbed look. The general beside him said to ease the atmosphere: "Hehe, you Military Bureau came to the front line this time to set up a separate department to collect intelligence on Japan, right?"

  Old Wang nodded and said: "Yes."

  Li Zongren pointed at the general who was speaking and said: "This is General Xu Zuyi, Chief of Staff of the Fifth War Zone."

  Lao Wang still heard Li Zongren's tone was very arrogant. He searched his own memory to see if there were any records of General Li and the Military Bureau having a feud.

  Old Wang was stunned when General Xu asked: "Did you gather any important intelligence this time in Xuzhou?"

  Old Wang thought to himself: You look down on me, I won't give you a good face either. Anyway, in the end, you'll still have to ask for my help. Thinking of this, Old Wang said with a casual tone: "Nothing much! Right now, I happen to have a copy of the Japanese army's overall strategic deployment for the Battle of Xuzhou."

  General Xu's face changed suddenly and he said excitedly: "Is the intelligence reliable or not?"

  Old Wang took a glance around and found a huge map of Xuzhou. He walked up to point out the deployment of the Japanese army to the two generals. After Old Wang finished speaking, the office was silent for half a moment.

  Li Zongren's expression eased a lot and he said: "You go down first! If there's anything important in the future, come directly to this office to find me."

  Old Wang was secretly delighted, it seemed his image had turned positive.

  After Old Wang left, the two generals came to the map and Li Zongren asked: "Do you think this intelligence is true? If the Japanese army really fights like this, how likely do you think it is that we can take down Xuzhou?"

  Xu Zuyi thought for a moment and said: "I think this intelligence is not far from the truth."

  The Japanese army likes this kind of landing operation, likes to surround and attack from multiple directions. Especially the Japanese General Staff likes to formulate such strategic concepts, very precise and complex strategic plans.

  After listening to Xu Zuyi's last sentence, Li Zongren smiled. Apparently he saw that the Japanese army's plan was too demanding for the troops, almost harsh.

  Xu Zuyi continued: "The Japanese army's chances of taking Xuzhou with three divisions are not great. First, the Japanese Eastern Front's Sakamoto Division landed in Qingdao and faced more than 10,000 naval infantry troops. Then they had to fight against Tai'an, Xi Jining, and Jinan, where Han Fuju's tens of thousands of troops were not made of paper. The pressure from the front lines of the Japanese 10th and 16th Divisions was relatively small. But our Fifth War Zone has enough strength to make them drink a pot."

  Li Zongren nodded in agreement, apparently he was more inclined towards Xu Zuyi's point of view.

  Old Wang had just returned to the barracks and saw everyone unloading things from a US-made truck outside the building. Old Wang thought: My American equipment must have arrived.

  Old Wang was almost suffocated by an American-style hug as soon as he arrived at the car. Old Wang saw that it was the beautiful mechanic who had helped him set up the rope in Nanjing, but he couldn't remember her name.

  "Ten Tommy guns, ten carbines, ten flame throwers. And the necessary ammunition. All here. And Chen Nai also used the remaining money to buy some medical supplies for you."

  The old American leaned in close to Old Wang and said, "Also, the reactive armor you wanted is a lab product. It hasn't even been equipped by the US military yet! We spent a lot of money to get it. They're all in small boxes inside the driver's compartment."

  Old Wang thought: What's the point of speaking nonsense. I'm the only one here who can understand English, so what are you whispering about!

  Old Wang rushed forward to touch Tom's submachine gun. Big Black handed over the one in his hand. Old Wang was almost pulled off balance by the gun.

  Old Wang cursed: "This gun is too heavy."

  The big American watched and burst out laughing, walked over and picked up the submachine gun with one hand, making a aiming pose.

  Hei Da Ge thought Lao Mei looked down on Chinese people, so he hung a submachine gun on the barrel of another one and held it up with one hand.

  The old American was delighted to see a Chinese black big guy who could compare strength with himself, and he eagerly learned from the black big guy. The two people thus got into a rivalry.

  。

  Old Wang was too lazy to watch the two people act foolishly. After comparing his carbine, he found that it wasn't very suitable for him either. Moreover, this carbine was obviously not as advanced as he had imagined.

  Old Wang thought for a long time, was Chen Nade blackened himself? Suddenly it dawned on him that the M1 carbine was mass-produced and equipped to the US military in 1941. By the time it arrived on the Chinese battlefield, it was already during the Korean War. How could this 1939 thing possibly have an M1?!

  In his heart, he thought: How could I have forgotten to make an appointment with Chen Nade at that time!

  These thirty people obviously chose submachine guns for the bigger ones and carbines for the thinner ones. The flamethrower was left untouched.

  Old Wang thought: This is not their fault, this thing doesn't look like a gun. How can it be used?!

  Old Wang called over the beautiful mechanic who was competing with Hei Da Ge and said, "You show everyone how to use this flame thrower."

  The old American made an OK gesture with his hand.

  Two men found an abandoned civilian house. Old Wang placed a few tables in the room and then said to everyone, "Now the devils have been surrounded by us in this house. How are we going to eliminate them."

  Someone suggested throwing a hand grenade. Deng Lianzhang shook his head and said, "The terrain in the house is unclear. It may be very complicated. The effect of the hand grenade is limited."

  Everyone fell silent. At this time, the little monkey said: "Just use that trick you used in Shanghai and throw a Molotov cocktail inside."

  Everyone thought this was a good idea. Old Wang said: "The fire bottle is troublesome to make, and the safety is also low. I will demonstrate a new method for everyone."

  Old Wang signaled the big American to come up. As soon as the American came up, everyone burst into laughter. A tall and strong man with a height of 1.8 meters was hunchbacked, carrying something like a bundle on his back. What he held in his hand looked like a gun but didn't quite seem so.

  The old American slowly approached the door. At the doorway, he roughly aimed the gun at the direction of the door and pulled the trigger hard.

  All that was seen was a tongue of flame shooting out from the muzzle and rushing straight into the house. The whole house was filled with flames in an instant. Flames were bursting out from every gap in the house. The house had become an ocean of fire.

  Everyone was stunned by the power of this weapon. Staring eyes, big mouths.

  Old Wang was very satisfied with the effect.

  That's enough to show the Americans.

  Everyone wanted to go into the house to take a look at the effect. The old American blocked them at the door and indicated that it was not necessary.

  Just as everyone was amazed, the house suddenly collapsed with a loud noise, and everyone stood there in shock, frightened.

  Old Wang felt he didn't need to say anything more. The facts had already proven everything.

  The first one to wake up was Sai Double Wang. This guy threw his carbine aside and grabbed a flamethrower to fiddle with.

  "Hei Da Ge burst out laughing and said: 'Old Wang, I'm really starting to suspect what you used to do.'"

  Old Wang asked strangely: "Why."

  "Hei Da Ge explained: 'Last time was called flower chicken. This time is blasting roast whole pig. Did you used to do dry roast?'"

  "Haha! Everyone in the whole row burst out laughing."

  Old Wang's face turned blue and purple by turns. Didn't expect this effect.

  Just back to the station, little monkey helped Lin nurse move things to the medical room and accidentally fell. All the cardboard boxes in his hands were broken. Green and green condoms rolled out of the box.

  Old Wang's face turned green in an instant. Nurse Lin's face was flushed bright red. The soldiers were all curious what this thing was for, and had never seen it before.

  Old Wang glared at the big American, who leaned in and said: "Chennault thought you might need some too, so he brought some over. You don't know how to use them? I reckon your nurse will know. Look at his face. Why not get him to teach you?"

  Lao Wang thought he had already killed his heart, but how to solve the awkward atmosphere on the spot. Suddenly, Lao Wang had an idea and remembered how the US Marine Corps used it during World War II.

  "This thing is a protective film for the gun. Because the US military equipment is more precise, it's easy to have gun jamming problems in areas with strong winds and heavy rains. Putting this on the gun avoids these problems."

  The soldiers all nodded as if they had suddenly understood something. Lin was skeptical.

  Old Wang thought it wouldn't be easy to deceive professionals!
