"Thank you, Director Zhang, let me think about it. This news is too sudden." Sun Zhongren needs time to accept this appointment, and of course he also needs to calmly think about what he should do next.

This was obviously a rare opportunity for him, an opportunity to go back to the battlefield and a chance to kill the enemy and serve the country.

This opportunity came too timely!

However, even if there are many conveniences, there will be many difficulties in forming a unit within three days. The combat troops are okay, including technical personnel, staff officers, etc. of the brigade department.

Weapons and equipment are not difficult, the key lies in people, and this person is the most precious.

Everyone is waiting, and after Sun Zhongren has finished thinking carefully, this is a big event, and it is more important than any big event in life.

Once the troops set off, it would be too late to think of anything again.

"I'm going to pull out a few people from the officer cram school."

"Yes, the master has called a long time ago. As long as it is within his authority, Brother Sun's request can be given priority." Ju Youlin agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you." Sun Zhongren was really grateful. This trust was definitely very strong.

"Also, can I give me a chief of staff?"

"We can't find a suitable candidate for the Chief of Staff for a while, but the deputy brigade commander is OK. If you don't say it, we will also give you one. As for the candidate issue, do you have a suitable candidate?"

"this……"

"Brother Zhong doesn't have to worry. If you have a suitable candidate, it's better to say it directly than we are in a dilemma here." Ju Youlin said.

"Feng Ying, it turned out to be the commander of my subordinates. Now, I'm idle at home..." Sun Zhongren smiled bitterly. After returning to the battle, the Tax Police Corps suffered heavy casualties, divided into two parts. Some were pulled away by the commander Huang Jie and adapted into the 40th Division of the Eighth Army. The other part was 5,000 wounded soldiers from Wuhan. They are now incorporated by the Honorary First Division.

Feng Ying was promoted to commander of the Second Detachment and served as the leader of the Fourth Regiment. He was his old subordinate. Because he refused to leave Huang Jie, he was "unemployed" at home.

"Where are people?"

"Not far away, Hunan Xiangtan."

"Send someone to pick him up immediately, it should be time for three days." Ju Youlin said, "Why Brother Zhong Ren has any other candidates to propose them together, so we can get it in one step."

"Not yet."

"Okay, let me talk about the equipment issue. Our Honorary First Division started with seizure. In other words, our equipment is mostly Japanese, including protective gear and equipment. This time we used inventory and collected a brigade equipment for Brigade Commander Sun. If we want to reorganize it, we will probably have enough money." Zhang Fengxiang smiled and said, "Okay, let's get back to the point. Brigade Commander Sun and I will read the things I prepared for your 36th Brigade."

"The Type 38 rifles are 4,500, Mauser pistols and Japanese southern pistols, a total of 580, 200 Huaji Machinery, and 120 Taisho 11th-year light machine guns and Czech light machine guns..."

"For artillery, we don't have much inventory. Fortunately, we brought back all the damaged ones before. The ordnance has repaired some of them, and there are about a dozen. It's okay to get a battalion for you."

Sun Zhongren nodded. Although it was still a little different from the Tax Police Corps in its heyday, it was quite good to be able to do this now.

The government has weak financial resources and can't buy weapons even if it has money.

"Brother Zhong, we cannot compare with the wealthy Minister Song, so you elites from the United States must follow the local customs and learn to live a tight life."

"Don't worry, Master Ju, Zhongren understands this." Sun Zhongren nodded. Many officers in the Tax Police Corps have experience studying in the United States. They have been deeply affected by American military education and behavioral habits. Sometimes they inevitably lead the battle with an American way of thinking.

However, they are always Chinese, and things in their bones will not change. Besides, they have been back for so long, but they are not very adaptable to their behavior, especially their previous position was awkward.

Whether you can be included in the Honorary First Division family is going to see this battle.

"You can decide on the appointment of the battalion company level at your own discretion. The division headquarters will report it immediately. In principle, the regiment-level officer must be approved by the division seat. However, this time, the division seat will decide to hand over the power to you and not interfere."

"Thank you for your trust!"

"The mission of our two has been completed, and the time is for Director Wu." Ju Youlin and Zhang Fengxiang stood up at the same time and said.

Sun Zhongren was a little shocked and confused, but he also stood up.

"You guys talk."

"Brave Commander Sun, from now on, my conversation with you is top secret, please understand!" Wu Xiaoyun's pretty face was serious and serious.

"Director Wu, you say." Sun Zhongren also became a little nervous. Although he belonged to the same army, he did not have many opportunities to deal with Wu Xiaoyun. This young woman who was on her shoulders had a legendary experience. It is said that she was a "mother Yasha" who killed people without blinking. But he felt that except for being a little cold, she did not look like the kind of cruel and bloodthirsty person in other aspects.

Of course, although this woman is in charge of the intelligence agency of the Honorary First Division, although the scale is not as large as that of the Military Control Commission and the Central Commission, it is definitely a very strong team.

Because he was born in the Military Control Commission, the Honorary First Division and the Military Control Commission cooperated a lot in intelligence. Although Sun Zhongren did not like the Military Control Commission's style, he also had a slight repulsion to the intelligence agencies led by Wu Xiaoyun.

Of course, he rejected this and said that he did not pay attention to intelligence work, but he just didn't like it very much.

"Please come on Director Zhou!"

"Yes!" Ding Mengyu, who was standing behind Wu Xiaoyun, agreed and ran out quickly.

After a while, a young and beautiful woman wearing the rank of lieutenant colonel walked in. She looked a little mature than Wu Xiaoyun, but she would never be more than thirty years old.

"Brig Commander Sun, let me introduce that this is the director of the division's Light Weapons Research Institute, Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Xue!"

"Hello, Brigade Commander Sun, I have heard of your name for a long time." Zhou Xueluo smiled generously, saluted a military salute, then stretched out her right hand over.

"Hello, Director Zhou." Sun Liren nodded, shook his hand gently, and then separated.

"Zhou Xue, Brigade Commander Sun, sit down and say!"

"good!"

"Brave Commander Sun, there is a piece of information in front of you. You can read it first, but the content can only be recorded in your mind." Wu Xiaoyun sat down and said.

Sun Zhongren sat down suspiciously and saw the folder in front of him. He slowly opened it. A delicate composition seemed to be a weapon, but he didn't understand it for a while. When he saw the hand that explained the following text, he was surprised.

"Brig Commander Sun, this is a weapon developed by our Honorary First Division. It is a single-soldier portable rocket launcher. The design creativity comes from the fire dragons from the Song Dynasty. Its main target is the enemy's tanks and bunkers, with an effective range of between 150 meters and 200 meters..." Zhou Xue introduced.

Compared with the text language, Zhou Xue's introduction is more intuitive and specific.

This was specially developed for the Japanese army's heavy mechanized equipment. If the performance is as stated in this manual, the Japanese tanks would be like paper in front of him.

With such a powerful weapon in hand, why worry about the failure of the Japanese invaders?

Sun Zhongren became excited in an instant.

"Has this weapon been made?"

"Brig Commander Sun, this is the purpose of my separate discussion with you. We have made the weapon, but our craftsmanship is not sufficient. Simply put, our materials do not meet the design requirements. In addition, our pharmacy device is not sealed well, and it is also subject to the materials. Now, we are importing materials from abroad through secret channels and continuing to study and improve the process, as well as the recoil problem..."

Wu Xiaoyun's explanation silenced Sun Zhongren. This weapon is good, but the problem is that it has many defects now, and it may not be able to be used if it is not done properly.

"When we were experimenting, there was a blow-off, and the soldiers who were tested were killed on the spot." Zhou Xue also said solemnly. This weapon was the first new single-soldier weapon she participated in the development, which was of cross-age significance, but after it was manufactured, there were many problems, and these all took time to solve them.

But they need this weapon at this time, and they lack even more time.

An unstable weapon is used to fight against the lives of soldiers when they are taken to the battlefield.

"What problem caused the explosion?" Sun Zhongren asked.

"We tested its limits, and then a blow-off accident occurred." This does not need to be concealed, nor does it mean to the outside world. Zhou Xue said naturally, "The preliminary determination is whether it is a material problem, and the strength is not enough."

"How effective is the damage test?"

"Within fifty meters, a 70mm steel plate can penetrate, and if it is 100 meters, it will be reduced to 40mm. The longer the range, the smaller the penetration force will be." Zhou Xue explained.

"This is already amazing. The Japanese tank armor is not thick at all. If you bounce it, a tank will be finished." Sun Zhongren said in surprise.

"We are currently using black gunpowder. If smokeless gunpowder or more violent gunpowder is used, it will not only increase the range, but its power will also increase exponentially. However, due to the materials, we dare not test it. If something happens, it will be a matter of life." Zhou Xue was obviously very saddened by the accidents that occurred in the test.

Sun Zhongren nodded. He could understand Zhou Xue's worries. Even if he developed new weapons, he could not sacrifice his life.

"How much have you made this thing?"

"We made six of them before and after, and besides the one that was blown up, there are five left!"

"Where is this kind of rocket?"

"We have made a batch of them. The specifications and parameters are different. They are mainly for testing. They are also to find the most suitable gunpowder ratio and the best damage effect. All test bombs have less than thirty."

"Thirty pieces, a little less, if I could have more." Sun Zhongren stared at the picture in his hand with a scorching eyes, and he couldn't put it down and said to himself.

"Brave Commander Sun, what did you say?"

"I mean, Director Wu, it would be a purposeless thing for you and Director Zhou to let me see this, right?" Sun Zhongren asked back.

"Brave Commander Sun is right. We have a purpose to show you this." Director Wu said, "Any weapon must be tested in the end by actual combat. Now the battle situation is tense and we are at a disadvantage. Therefore, we can only ignore some processes for the time being. People die every day on the battlefield. You have participated in the Battle of Songhu. When you know how much it will cost to blow up a Japanese tank in GJ?"

"Would you like to sacrifice one person in exchange for a Japanese tank?"

"Director Wu, if I come from my perspective, I am unwilling to sacrifice any of my subordinates, but what you are talking about is an objective fact, I cannot deny it."

"According to the experience we have explored, after three launches, the rocket launcher cools for half an hour, and launches again, the probability of the chamber blowing will be very small. There has been no accidents in the explosion of the chamber in several tests. However, we have not used it in the harsh environment of the battlefield, and we will have to wait until it is used to know everything." Zhou Xue explained.

"Oh, that's it." Sun Zhongren nodded. In this way, although it cannot be launched continuously, it will greatly guarantee the safety of the soldiers.

Although this is a big disadvantage, the number of Japanese tanks is not very large. It would be amazing to send more than ten or twenty vehicles at a time.

People cannot give up because of choking. What's more, in this case, they can solve the problem step by step. When you solve the problem, the battle will be over.

"You want my troops to use it in actual combat on the battlefield and test its actual combat effectiveness?"

"Yes, that's what we mean, and it can also help Brigade Commander Sun reduce casualties and deal with Japanese tanks as secret weapons."

"Do you know about this single-soldier bazooka research and manufacturing?"

"Of course this is top secret. If the above knows it, the Japanese might know it. We don't want to take such a big risk." Wu Xiaoyun said.

Sun Zhongren smiled bitterly. It is obvious that the Honorary Division has a serious distrust of the confidentiality work of the intelligence department of the State Government. It cannot be blamed on others. In recent years, are there fewer people in the State Government?

Not to mention ordinary small bureaucrats, even some important and powerful figures in the government were dragged into the water by the Japanese. How many people can withstand these temptations?

Well, I am not favored anyway. Those Huangpu Group look down on me, and he doesn’t like local departments either. However, this honorary first division is a bit interesting. Whether it is Huangpu or local, as long as you have talent, you can get reused, and only talent is a priority.

"For such a big thing, you can't make decisions without asking for a teacher's seat, right?" Sun Zhongren said. He had heard of some of the relationship between Wu Xiaoyun and Leng Feng.

But even if you are in a relationship with couples and husband and wife, the rules in the army must not be forgotten. It is not a woman's turn to be the leader of the honorary division.

"Of course, if we didn't ask the teacher's seat, how dare we tell you this here?" Wu Xiaoyun smiled slightly and handed over a piece of paper, "This is a secret telegram from the teacher's seat. Brigade Commander Sun can take a look."

Sun Zhongren reached out and took it. When he saw that it was indeed Leng Feng's secret telegram. He knew this code. He had this privilege. Now that he had officially joined the Honorary Division, this authority was naturally given to him.

"Since the teacher's seat has an order, how dare Zhongren refuse to obey?"
