Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 576 The knife pulls the butt and opens the eyes

Gao Dashan walked to a pile of boxes in front of the cabin, then took a crowbar in his hand and handed it to the soldier next to him.

"Come on, open your military uniform first!"

"okay!"

The large wooden box containing the military uniforms was pried open, and then pieces of green jungle camouflage uniforms were revealed one by one.

"Commander Zhou, this camouflage uniform is different from what we wore in Shanxi. There are many trees in the Greater Khingan Range. If we put on this jungle camouflage and hide in the bushes, even the sharp-eyed fox hunters will have trouble finding us!

In winter, we can put on white snow suits and blend into the snow. Even if the Japanese come within ten meters of us, they won’t be able to detect us.”

While Zhou Baozhong was sighing, he suddenly thought of a question.

"Captain Gao, is there as much snow in Shanxi as in Northeast China? What kind of snow suit did you wear?"

"Hehe, that's not the case. I heard it from our chief of staff. Well, it's harmless. Our jungle camouflage uniforms are wear-resistant, cut-resistant, and fire-resistant. Hurry and put them on!"

Zhou Baozhong touched the fabric of the camouflage uniform and found that it really looked like the real thing.

Then, Zhou Baozhong touched the combat boots again. They had strong grip and were elastic, much better than the coarse cloth shoes on their feet.

"Brigade Commander Zhou, come and take a look, a steel helmet!"

Zhou Baozhong held the helmet, then looked at the helmets worn by Gao Dashan and others, and found some differences.

"Captain Gao, are your helmets more advanced?"

When Gao Dashan said this, his eyes were full of pride and he handed his helmet to Zhou Baozhong.

"Our helmets are indeed different. They are lightweight and suitable for airborne operations. Alas, the combat missions are different. The Chief of Staff told me that after a while, our entire army may be equipped with this new type of helmet!"

Zhou Baozhong weighed Gao Dashan’s Kevlar helmet in his hand. If the protective function was the same, then this helmet would be a really good thing and would not press on the neck.

Gao Dashan then opened the box of rifles, revealing rows of semi-automatic rifles filled with gun oil.

"Everyone, this rifle is the same as the one the radio operator sent to you earlier. It's a semi-automatic rifle with strong firepower. You should have tried it, right?"

"Well, there's not enough ammunition. I've fired one round, but the other soldiers haven't tried yet."

Sure enough, when the soldiers of the Northeast Independent Brigade heard that each of them had a semi-automatic rifle, they immediately came over.

The last time their Brigade Commander Zhou was shooting, the accuracy and power were obvious to all, and the firing rate was also very fast, which absolutely crushed Country E's Mosin-Nagant, not to mention the Japanese Type 38 rifle.

"This semi-automatic rifle is indeed good, but the bullets are consumed quickly!"

Gao Dashan frowned and looked serious.

"Commander Zhou, you can't think like that. Today I dare to disregard the concept of superiors and subordinates and tell you something. As long as the problem can be solved with bullets, bayonets must not be used; if the problem can be solved with a magazine of bullets, bullets must not be saved and the lives of soldiers must not be endangered."

Zhou Baozhong has not yet understood the meaning of this. After all, their life in the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army was hard, and it was not much better in Country E.

"Did you invent this sentence?"

"That's not the case. Our chief of staff said so."

"Oh."

Zhou Baozhong began to look at the rows of rifles, and finally his eyes were fixed on the completely black and rather strange rifle behind Gao Dashan.

"Hey, Captain Gao, what kind of gun are you carrying?"

Gao Dashan threw the 95 rifle behind him, then grabbed it and handed it to Zhou Baozhong.

"Hey, excuse me, this is our automatic rifle. As long as you don't release the trigger, it can keep firing?"

Zhou Baozhong's eyes lit up. Isn't this a small machine gun?

"Can you lend me a shuttle some other day?"

"no problem!"

Zhou Baozhong returned the gun reluctantly, but when he glanced again, he saw the pistol on the tall mountainside.

"Oh my god, you still have a pistol?"

Gao Dashan threw the 95 rifle behind him and handed the pistol to Zhou Baozhong.

"Hey, this is the standard equipment for our airborne troops. Two guns for each person."

Gao Dashan played with the Type 92 pistol in his hand, with an undisguised expression of envy in his eyes.

"Oh, if only I had one!"

"Yes, of course! All officers above the level of squad leader in our independent column are equipped with pistols!"

"Really?"

Gao Dashan opened the wooden box full of pistols again, then nodded at Zhou Baozhong.

"Brigade Commander Zhou, pick whatever you want!"

Zhou Baozhong pounced forward, grabbed a pistol and started stroking it back and forth.

"Okay! Okay! Today I finally got my ass kicked by a knife and opened my eyes!"

Gao Dashan was filled with emotion. The Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army had been living a hard life in recent years.

"Brigade Commander Zhou, how about we take a look at other equipment first, and then play with guns?"

"No, the soldiers probably can't wait any longer. If possible, can you distribute the uniforms, combat boots and rifles first?"

"of course can!"

Gao Dashan immediately organized the soldiers to distribute rifles and uniforms in the open space in front of the cabin, and agreed to return to the open space an hour later to continue distributing other supplies.

"By the way, Commander Zhou, the equipment you took off can be used to equip the guerrillas. Don't throw it all away."

Zhou Baozhong's face was filled with horror.

"Oh, of course. We haven't had a good life yet, so how can we just throw away our old stuff? Our guerrillas are still using swords and spears!"

Half an hour later, soldiers wearing jungle camouflage and carrying semi-automatic rifles lined up neatly. The officers also wore pistols and stood in rows in the open space.

Zhou Baozhong gave a brief speech, and then, according to Wang Meng's suggestion, prepared to upgrade the original artillery company to an artillery battalion.

And the four infantry battalions also decided to disperse and develop independently, among which:

The first battalion and the artillery battalion were stationed in Heixiazi's nest, threatening Zhalantun.

The second battalion moved southwest along the Greater Khingan Range, threatening the Xing'an League.

The third battalion crossed the Greater Khingan Range and moved northwest, threatening Hailar.

"Commanders, these are elite soldiers under your command. They have not only been baptized by war, but also received the most rigorous training in Country E. It would be a pity to let them serve as soldiers.

Therefore, once you have arrived at your designated position, you must immediately develop your team and increase your strength!"

After Zhou Baozhong finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Gao Dashan, and Gao Dashan cleared his throat.

"Everyone, my company and I are new here, so please take good care of us. However, we also come with a mission, which is to train you and the new recruits to be recruited into qualified soldiers within two months, so that you can win the battle and kill the devils.

Therefore, please forgive me if our soldiers of the 202st Company, st Battalion, nd Airborne Regiment are too harsh in the upcoming training.

Our chief of staff once said, more training in peacetime will lead to less bloodshed in war!

Also, you can develop your team. Weapons, ammunition, food, medicine, uniforms and clothing are all available to you. If you can form a regiment, you can be the regiment commander. If you can form a division, you can be the division commander!"
