Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 518

Chapter 518 No one is a good person

Five shots were fired, and Zhao Chengxi, commander of the baggage company, was the last person to accompany him.

But what is unexpected is that this former security regiment commander, who was originally considered by most soldiers to be an eye-opener if he could hit the target with a single shot, actually shot a "miracle" of 18 rings.

Of the five bullets, only two missed the target, two hit the outermost ring, and one hit the middle of the three rings. The results were not very good, not even as good as the last of the 10 precision shooters selected for three consecutive years. .

But this achievement still blinded many veterans.

Security group, who are they? They are not ruffians, but the vast majority of them are the people behind the ruffians. Relying on the "tiger skin" on their bodies, they are bound to do evil even if they do not say anything, but they are inevitable.

Especially the battalion and company-level officers, all of them had red faces and fat bodies. Even after these ten days of fierce fighting, the belly of the officers who belonged to the security group was still significantly larger.

The fat accumulated year after year is not easy to get rid of. If the troops really run out of food, no one doubts that the officers in the security group are the ones who can hold on until the end.

Zhao Chengxi can serve as the commander of the baggage company, not to mention other companies, even the baggage company. Basically, he thinks this is a kind of balance for Commander Tang. In order to prevent the merged security regiment officers and soldiers from feeling slighted, he gave The two leading company commanders have one military officer position.

Moreover, the security team, from the battalion commander to the company commander to the squad leader, is equipped with an imported German-made twenty-ring gun as standard. One shot of the shuttle can produce twenty rounds of ammunition. Within a hundred meters, they are the kings, but within a hundred meters What about outside?

Even if there are people holding rifles, the hit rate is simply appalling.

In the street fighting outside Songjiang, this shortcoming was overshadowed by the almost face-to-face, nose-to-nose fighting between the Chinese and Japanese armies. As a result, the officers and soldiers of the security regiment who were familiar with the terrain even had the upper hand in the exchange of fire.

But during the defensive battle on the Jiashan defense line, the security regiment with strong trench fortifications was able to fully expose this shortcoming. The Japanese army attacked the security regiment's defense line as a reserve team several times and found that the opponent's close-range firepower was sharp, so Change the strategy and use a rifle to shoot accurately to suppress it from 200 meters away.

The security group was completely stunned. If they exposed their heads to fight back, the ball would be used as a target by the Japanese infantry with excellent shooting skills. If they did not show their heads to fight back, the Japanese would crawl forward boldly as infantry.

The nearest ones even came as close as more than 30 meters and threw a large number of melon-style grenades, causing heavy casualties to the security group with powerful close-range firepower.

After three battles, more than half of the original thousand men were reduced to only 500 men. The battle loss rate was the highest among the entire army.

This is just the performance of a Japanese infantry brigade. If we pay more attention to it and invest more troops, the security regiment will be defeated before it can be established as an independent battalion.

The militia is the militia, so why not do it? This is also the unanimous impression of frontline Chinese officers and soldiers on the security regiment.

In fact, even the officers and soldiers of the security regiment themselves have quite low self-esteem. The little self-confidence they finally accumulated during the battle outside Songjiang was wiped out by several field battles. Otherwise, Wang Gongyu would not necessarily be persuaded by Tang Dao. Treating the 500 remnant soldiers of the security group who are their lifeblood to engage in some kind of "venture investment", it is not as simple as Tang Dao analyzed the situation and dug up a camp.

From the moment Wang Gongyu agreed last night, he became a mere commander. The only people he could command were two guards. Which army major general could accept it?

Of course, it is also beneficial for the security team that has lost much energy to go through this round of formal combat. The only ones who can survive are the tall ones selected from the short ones. Regardless of combat skills or mental will, they are all Outstanding among the militiamen.

Furthermore, it is easier to accept reorganization. Even if most of the original company commanders and platoon commanders are demoted to half a rank, most of them have no objections. The brutal line defense battle allowed them to see what real field combat is like. They are indeed not as good as the regular army in this regard.

Unexpectedly, the former company commander of the security regiment was really not weak. In such an environment, he shot 20 rounds with five shots using a rifle that was not commonly used by others. He was stronger than many veterans of the Four Lines Battalion who were extremely proud.

They didn't know that the infantry company commander named Zhao Chengxi was promoted to chief officer by Wang Gongyu after one of the two battalion commanders was executed and the other died in battle. That was not just based on official position.

Zhao Chengxi is the only officer in the entire Songjiang Security Group who has attended a military academy. He was originally a platoon leader in the Central Army. However, due to his mother's serious illness, he was the only son of three generations in the family and had to resign from the military and return home to serve his mother. He took care of her for two years, until her mother passed away.

At that time, it was already the beginning of 1937. Wang Gongyu, who was eager to improve the strength of his security group, came to the door in person and offered the position of company commander of the security group. Although Zhao Chengxi still had the heart to serve the country, he did not like the militia, but he considered the death of his mother. As an orphan, he could join the army and stay close to his father, so he became a 'militia' company commander.

Originally, Wang Gongyu planned to promote Zhao Chengxi to battalion commander in a year or two, but before the first half of the year, the Great Patriotic War broke out.

It was this resume and Zhao Chengxi's outstanding performance on the battlefield that made Tang Dao appoint him as the company commander of the baggage company. Otherwise, would the baggage company really be just a porter transporting supplies? When the war situation is urgent, the baggage company is the last reserve team in Tang Dao's hands. It is the last knife for the decisive battle. How can an important commander like his company commander be given at will by balancing the people's hearts?

　　Obviously, the foundation of a regular military school graduate is still there, and he has not wasted most of the past six months in the security regiment. This marksmanship is justified even if he is placed in the position of the main platoon leader of an infantry company. Tang Dao was also very satisfied and nodded frequently.

“The company commander is mighty!” The officers and soldiers of the baggage company were also elated. Originally, they were prepared for the embarrassment that their company commander would miss his shot.

Now, it is much stronger.

Compared to the company commander of the baggage company, he exceeded people's expectations.

Leng Feng, the commander of the first company, won the first place in the company commander-level shooting fun competition with a score of 48 points as everyone expected.

The Sharp Saber Company is the Sharp Saber Company, and the company commanders are all top-notch strong ones.

What surprised everyone a little was the artillery company commander Pang Dahai. This artillery company commander who famously knocked out four Japanese soldiers with a single barrel and became famous throughout the army actually scored an astonishing 46 rings, firmly ranking second. .

He can fight with bare hands at close range, use a gun to kill people at medium distance, and hit you with a cannonball from a distance. This is simply an all-round talent!

“The company commander is awesome!” The officers and soldiers of the artillery company held their heads high like **** that had just **** the pullets.

"What the hell! If it rains now, believe it or not, the melons in the artillery company will be drowned?" The soldiers of the second company curled their lips sharply.

“Why?”

　　　“Point your nostrils towards the sky!”

“Haha, no!”

Erlian's is of course a bit sour.

In fact, their veteran Captain Youzi is already very impressive.

Li Jiujin quietly achieved the same amazing result of 46 rings. However, compared with the same result of the artillery company commander, he was not so amazing.

you do not say! Your infantry company commander has about the same shooting skills as someone else's artillery company commander, so what's there to be proud of?

In contrast, the Third Company has a much calmer mentality. Their company commander Qian Dazhu once defended an infantry platoon position to block a Japanese infantry squad. No one can match his military exploits. Moreover, he is the youngest, and his marksmanship is slightly inferior to those of the others. 'Old guys', that's totally acceptable.

Therefore, Qian Dazhu's score of 31 rings, which ranked third from the bottom among the eight companies, did not disappoint them too much. On the contrary, it was expected.

However, Zhao Daqiang, the former army lieutenant general and ace guard, is a bit below the standard. His 39th ring score is very good, but he can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the four infantry company commanders. However, his hip injury will inevitably affect his performance. .

Peng Chong of the secret service company simply hung up his arms and insisted not to let his company deputy compete in his place. He used one arm and a residual hand. Although it took the longest time, he achieved the penultimate result of 20 rings. , but already worthy of his position as commander of the special agent company.

If the injury heals, the entire secret service company firmly believes that even if it is not as close to hitting the target as Leng Feng, it will definitely be no weaker than gods like Li Jiujin and Pang Dahai.

The company commanders selected by the eight Tang Daomen can be said to have their own merits, and none of them is good at it.

The second group of people carrying guns and walking towards their shooting positions were seven people from the special operations team.

However, a request made by the captain of the special operations team almost made the onlookers' jaws drop in shock.

　　Crazy! So crazy!
