  Liu Mingjiu saw Lianzhang walk in and stood up straight: "Reporting to the company commander, I am cleaning my gun."

  "Do you have to disassemble the gun completely just to clean it?" Zhao Zhengyi looked at the table full of handgun parts that Liu Mingjiu had taken apart, frowning: "This big-bellied pistol was passed down by your uncle, don't take it apart and not be able to put it back together, we won't have anyone who can fix it."

  "Heh heh, don't worry, I can figure it out myself. If we don't take it apart, there's no way to check the cylinder head, and even if we do take it apart, the effect won't be good." Liu Mingjiu replied with a silly smile at Zhao Zhengyi.

  "You little scamp, how is it that after the great calamity, these weirdos have multiplied? They've even learned to operate the box cannons on their own! First, get yourself sorted out, and once you're clear-headed, I'll let you help me with mine when I'm free. Zhao Zhengyi was already accustomed to the new Liu Mingjiu, who had changed completely since waking up, almost becoming a different person, and almost every few days would come up with some new trick, so he gradually got used to it."

  "That's nothing, heh heh, you can trust me, I'd be happy to help." Liu Mingjiu continued to smile foolishly as he assembled his pistol, which had just been adjusted and oiled.

  In his past life, Liu Mingjiu was a firearms enthusiast. In the army, he had disassembled and reassembled the Type 81 rifle several times, which led to him being criticized and confined for five days. As for the correct name of the Mauser C96 7.63mm military pistol, Liu Mingjiu had also disassembled it a few times, making him familiar with it, just like his past life's familiarity with the Type 81 rifle and the Type 54 pistol.

  "Alright, I'll take the people you've lined up to the playground in a bit. The commune has assigned us a task, and we're going to go deal with the bandits on Mount Dingzi." Zhao Zhengyi looked at Liu Mingjiu, who was becoming increasingly mysterious to everyone.

  "Growing a beard? Hehe, okay, this time Old Luo and the others will be delighted. They've been shouting all day that there's no battle to fight and training is useless." Liu Mingjiu said with a smile as he put on his outerwear. When crossing over, who knows how God arranged it, but he managed to catch up with the season that had just passed New Year's. If not, he wouldn't be able to see how people in this era spend their New Year's. Originally, the crossing that was supposed to be for entertainment purposes really happened to himself, and it's really uncomfortable beyond words. However, being uncomfortable is one thing, but heroes can only follow the trend of the times. Those who try to create trends often end up defeated and pathetic. So Liu Mingjiu could only learn to stop complaining in his heart.

  After dressing up, Liu Mingjiu and Zhao Zhengyi walked out of their room together and entered the three large houses where the three classes under his jurisdiction were staying. They notified the three class leaders to gather. Soon, the whole row gathered on the playground, and the company commander Zhao Zhengyi and deputy commander Li Nianxin had already stood on the earthen platform on the playground. The other two rows also gathered on the playground under the leadership of their respective row leaders Zhang Hua and Geng Liang. Due to the small training session every three days, Liu Mingjiu's second row had conducted drills and gatherings under his leadership, and this gathering saw initial results. Although the officers and soldiers of the second row were not a well-trained team, their assembly time was significantly faster than that of the other two rows, and they stood on the playground without whispering to each other or being out of uniform as before.

  The troops quickly gathered, and Zhao Zhengyi stood on the earthen platform, loudly saying: "Haven't you all been idle to death these days? Now the regiment has given us an order, letting us go to Lijiazhuang with the 6th company to exterminate the bandits at Huizi Mountain. You've all been clamoring for a battle, now we're going into one, what do you think the 2nd company should do on the battlefield?"

  The whole army of the Fourth Company shouted in unison as soon as Zhao Zhengyi finished speaking: "Fourth Company takes action, enemy trembles. Fourth Company fights, has death but no escape."

  Zhao Zhengyi stood on the earthen platform, looking at his troops and gave orders: "Alright, since you all still remember the password of the 4th company, this time I want you to show off your skills. That group of bandits has over a hundred people, and they have been causing trouble for the wealthy and ordinary people in the surrounding areas. You must all remember that anyone who sees the bandits and does not surrender, regardless of whether they are male or female, young or old, will be killed without mercy. Let's set off now."

  As soon as Zhao Zhengyi gave the order, the entire drill ground suddenly became a hubbub of human voices and neighing horses. Liu Mingjiu also quickly mounted his own red war horse "Lihuo" which he had personally fed for over 20 days, leading his squad to run out of the drill ground and embark on their first real expedition.

  "Little Liu, I heard that the gang from Conical Mountain is Wang Xiaozhu's sworn brother, they beat the 26th Regiment to a pulp several times in Chaoyang, this time we're going for two regiments, do you think we can win?" On the way, Deputy Platoon Leader Luo Xiliang caught up with Liu Mingjiu and whispered in his ear.

  Liu Mingjiu looked at Luo Xiliang running beside him: "The 26th Regiment is the 26th Regiment, do you have so little confidence in us?"

  "It has nothing to do with having confidence or not, I heard that those people have more than a dozen machine guns and mortars, and everyone has horses. It's really unknown where they got them from, but for us, we only have this one heavy machine gun and four broken machine guns, can you say I have confidence?" Luo Xi Liang said while running and continuing to speak in a low voice.

  Actually, Liu Mingjiu himself was also nervous at this time. The troops he was in, although each had a Han Yang rifle, some were even original German Mauser rifles, but they only had four heavy and five light machine guns as their heavy weapons of that era. When he heard about the armament of the bandits they were going to fight, how could he not be nervous? More importantly, Wang Xiaojiao was a high-level Japanese spy in later generations, Liu Mingjiu also knew from books, TV shows and the internet. He wasn't some ordinary bandit, his weapons and tactics weren't something that ordinary bandits could compare with. If not, it wouldn't have been possible for Zhang Zuolin to become the king of Northeast China after rising from being a bandit himself, many bandits were either dispersed or surrendered, but Wang Xiaojiao was still able to lead his men in evil deeds everywhere.

  His heart was also racing, but Liu Mingjiu was very clear about the difference between an officer and a ordinary soldier. He always had to think about the bigger picture, so he stared fiercely at Luo Xiliang, who was four years younger than him: "Shut up, just a group of bandits, if you're like this in the future, don't shout loudly when there's no battle to fight, and when the real chapter comes, how can I lead the retreat?"

  Luohao saw the doll's temper and had no choice but to stop talking, bow his head and return to the front of the second battalion, leading the troops in silence.

  After running for more than an hour, Liu Mingjiu's second row was originally the second to start, but it was the first to enter Lijiadian. In front of Niangniang Temple, Liu Mingjiu met Du Youshan, the commander of the 6th Company, and Zuo Zhenyuan, the deputy commander who was in charge of commanding the entire operation.

  "Reporting to the superior officer, the 4th company's 2nd platoon has arrived as ordered. Platoon leader Liu Mingjiu is reporting for duty." Liu Mingjiu waited until all the troops had gathered in front of the Niangniang Temple and formed up in their ranks before adjusting his uniform and jogging over to Zuo Zhenyuan, shouting loudly.

  Zuo Zhenyuan looked at the son of his old subordinate: "Fast enough, how old are you? How did your squad get to the top first?"

  "Reporting to the officer, the company commander is half a mile behind us. I rushed onto the battlefield in a hurry." Liu Mingjiu said with some embarrassment, looking at Zuo Zhenyuan. He didn't expect that his momentary excitement would leave the company commander and most of the troops at least half a mile away.

  "Hey, what's the hurry? Alright, let your comrades who were in line rest for now. We'll have a meeting together once you've all calmed down." Zuo Zhenyuan knew that Liu Mingjiu still had a childish temper and was just excited, so he didn't say much and just gave orders.

  Liu Mingjiu heard the order, turned around and let the whole row rest on the ground, then ran to Zuo Zhenyuan who was sitting on the steps of the temple: "Uncle Zuo, is it really just our two battalions?"

  "There are still three battalions of the security team, and even if the 26th battalion didn't defeat them, do you think our battalion commander is so careless?" Zuo Zhenyuan glanced at Liu Mingjiu's smiling face and suddenly came to his senses: "No, you little bastard, are you afraid of death? Or do you want to take credit? What business do you have with how many people, let me tell you where to fight and get out of the way."

  Zuo Zhenyuan finished speaking and stood up, kicking Liu Mingjiu's butt. Liu Mingjiu easily dodged Zuo Zhenyuan's flying kick with a big stride, then ran back to his own team while giggling "heh heh" and staring at Zuo Zhenyuan with a silly smile.

  "How's the line? Is it just the two of us?" Luo Xiangliang asked anxiously as he saw Liu Mingjiu running back.

  Liu Mingjiu also went to find scolding under his instigation and the request of several other class leaders. After Luo Xiangliang asked,

  "Are you afraid of death or trying to get credit? Nobody cares about you, just go wherever you want and leave me alone."

  Luohi Liang also saw just now that Zuo Zhenyuan was scolding and kicking Liu Mingjiu, but he didn't expect this kid to use the same move on him without changing a bit. Luohi Liang, who had been kicked hard in the butt, rubbed his butt while looking at Liu Mingjiu: "Are you kidding me? The deputy captain kicks you and you kick me? But the deputy captain didn't hit you, yet you hit me, am I not wronged?"

  "Haha." The whole row of soldiers looked at Luo Xi Liang's wronged face, still muttering to himself in a comical manner, and burst out laughing. Luo Xi Liang immediately put down his hand that was rubbing the painful spot and took on an authoritative tone: "What are you all laughing at? Shut up, all of you! Get lost and go take a break somewhere else!"

  The more he spoke, the more the soldiers laughed, and under his drive and pursuit, they scattered around the Niangniang Temple. Liu Mingjiu watched Luo Xiliang and the soldiers chasing and playing, and after telling the two remaining squad leaders Deng Song and Zhu Xuesen that there were still participating troops, gave the troops a reassurance pill, he himself hid under a big tree, leaning against the big tree to re-examine his pistol.

  This rifle was said to have been bought by his uncle four years ago with a hundred yuan saved over two years from a foreigner, along with 1,000 rounds of ammunition and two clips. The clip held twenty rounds, and the gun barrel had one round pre-loaded. In this era where he is now, this rifle is already an advanced state-of-the-art weapon, so his uncle treasured it as a precious thing, accompanying him through four years of campaigns. Before his uncle died in battle, he specifically handed over this rifle to Zhao Zhengyi, entrusting him to pass it down as a family heirloom to Liu Mingjiu.

  Just as Luo Xiangliang was chasing after the soldiers, Liu Mingjiu hid under a tree. Not long after, the other three platoons of the 4th Company also ran to the front of the temple. As soon as Su Shan, the leader of the machine gun platoon, saw Liu Mingjiu's calm demeanor, he rushed over and punched him in the chest: "Damn you little brat, why are you running so fast like a rabbit? Are you in a hurry to die? Don't you know our platoon's equipment is heavy?"

  Liu Mingjiu was caught off guard and took a heavy punch, but he didn't get angry because Su Shan was also a second-generation child of this branch, only three years older than himself. The two were usually the closest in their daily interactions. So, while rubbing his chest, Liu Mingjiu stood up: "No one can compare to your speed, who told you to chase us? You're showing off and blaming me instead."

  "Damn it, I love showing off? Fine, I love showing off." Su Shan's words had barely fallen when he swung his fists at Liu Mingjiu.

  Although they interacted with each other frequently, Su Shan was always refuted by Liu Mingjiu after waking up and couldn't say a word. He had been outsmarted by Liu Mingjiu's eloquence long ago and became helpless. However, he found a magic trick - if he couldn't win the argument, he would resort to violence. Although Liu Mingjiu was agile, Su Shan also learned Shaolin Kung Fu with him, so whenever he fought back, Liu Mingjiu could only dodge his attacks without speaking. When the two were chasing each other in front of the Niangniang Temple, three battalion commanders from the Security Team arrived at the temple with their troops wearing disheveled uniforms, and the two had to stop fighting.
