Chapter 71 Cooking Class
"Most of the technicians in our Zhenhua Military Factory trained themselves, and only a small number were introduced to foreign engineers to assist in design. Our engineers have now become technical backbone with world-class knowledge and experience. Many weapons and equipment that cannot be designed and manufactured abroad will be released one after another in the future. It's just that we have not announced most of the technical equipment to the public. What you see now is just the tip of the iceberg." Han Xiaoming said with added fuel to the surprise of these cannons.
Many of the weapons and equipment that Han Xiaoming mentioned are just theoretical things. At present, there are relatively insufficient technicians in the Zhenguo Army Arsenal. Although there are many advanced weapon projects waiting to be developed, talent training cannot keep up, and it is useless to have some theoretical knowledge. Li Tiancheng will not take these technologies out to cooperate with others to produce them, so they are still in books.
"Where are we going? Are we going to visit other weapons and equipment?" As a soldier, Gu Naibin suddenly became more interested in Zhenguo Army. He thought to himself if there would be more shocking weapons to appear later, and asked with anticipation.
"Let's just visit here. Some of our equipment is kept secret and kept secret. They have to rely on their leader to fight. Please forgive me!" Han Xiaoming shrugged his shoulders and said in a pretentious manner, deliberately leaving a suspense for the other party, so that they can remember that the strength of the Zhenguo Army is without bottom line.
"I will take you to find the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Brigade to our division. His official position is the same as Gu Guandao. The new organization method we adopted does not adopt the organization of the old army and the new army. The commanders of our battalion-level units are called battalion commanders, not Guandao." Han Xiaoming continued to explain.
Then the four of them entered an area full of tents, which was the location of Zhang Tiewu's first battalion. After passing by rows of simple barracks built with green military tents, they arrived at the entrance of a larger barracks. Two soldiers carrying guns stood on both sides of the door. When they saw Han Xiaoming, they immediately raised their hand and saluted. They had met Han Xiaoming twice before and knew that he was a staff member of the Military Commission, so they immediately recognized him.
"Please go in and announce it, and say that the generals of the new army have arrived. Please arrange the reception work for Battalion Commander Zhang!" Han Xiaoming bowed back.
One of the two soldiers immediately turned around and entered the tent, then walked out with a smile on Zhang Tiewu.
"The three are the new army generals who came to visit. Zhang Tiewu is the battalion commander of the first battalion. The superior ordered me to do a good job in reception. Mr. Li attached great importance to the visit of the new army generals and ordered me not to neglect you. Otherwise, it would be handled by military law. Please come in and talk in detail!" Zhang Tiewu was already tall, nearly 1.8 meters tall, and his straight military uniform, looked particularly majestic and looked a little honest when he smiled. When he saw Han Xiaoming, he naturally understood what was going on and said enthusiastically to Gu Naibin and the other two.
Speaking of Gu Naibin, although he was only a battalion leader of the Zhejiang New Army, with only four or five hundred troops under his command, he made an indelible contribution in the Battle of Restoration of Hangzhou in 1911. After the New Army announced the uprising, it was Gu Naibin who led the troops first marched towards Hangzhou City, besieged the Governor's Office, and finally achieved a decisive victory. The rebel army then revived the entire Zhejiang.
After the Revolution of 1911, Gu Naibin withdrew from the military because of his great political differences with Chiang Kai-shek and abandoned politics and went to business. Since then, he faded out of people's sight.
"This is Mr. Gu Naibin sent by the Zhejiang New Army, and this is Zhang Tiewu, the commander of the Zhenguo Army." Han Xiaoming immediately introduced to each other.
"I'm glad to meet. Gu Guan brought us to our army for the first time. I'm not here to welcome you. Please forgive me!" Zhang Tiewu was a rural villager with vulgar words. After entering the army, he changed his temperament slightly. After entering Zhenhua for a few days of learning cultural knowledge, some new ideas began to grow in his mind. He also knew how to pay attention to some etiquette when dealing with people. When he saw Gu Naibin, he deliberately nodded and said.
"Battleman Zhang, you don't need to be polite. Gu has long heard that the army is a powerful army with strict discipline, strong combat power, and victories in all kinds of battles. Therefore, he really wants to come to visit the army's appearance and appearance. After returning, he can spread the outstanding features of the army to the soldiers in the new army, so that his subordinates can learn from the army well, so that their subordinates can learn from the army to improve the command ability of the new army officers and the combat qualities of the soldiers. Gu came this time to ask Commander Zhang and the soldiers of Zhenguo Army with a learning attitude, and also asked Battalion Commander Zhang to show Gu the advanced weapons and equipment of the army, advanced combat guiding ideology, strategies and tactics to Gu, and also let Gu see what kind of troops it is, which can completely defeat the Qing army's 6,000 people overnight." The purpose of Gu Naibin came this time was to inquire about the reality of the new army, so he immediately humbly proposed the idea of visiting and learning.
Of course, Zhang Tiewu knew Gu Naibin's intentions. Li Tiancheng also wanted the New Army to see the strength of Zhenguo Army. The two sides hit it off, but Zhang Tiewu did not want to show the intention too obvious, so he turned his eyes and said in a deep thought: "Originally, the defense of our army's position is a military secret, but this is only for others. Of course, there is no concern about Zhejiang New Army and Gu Guandai, because Mr. Li has already told us that we have been ready to welcome the generals of your army to exchange and carry out extensive cooperation with your army. In order to show sincerity, I will take Gu Guandai to visit our army's barracks and temporary exercise positions."
....
"please!"
"please!"
Then the two of them were polite and Zhang Tiewu took Gu Naibin out of the military tent and walked towards a gravel path on the left. Han Xiaoming and Gu Naibin's two followers were accompanied by, and two other Zhang Tiewu's guards followed with guns.
After passing through several bends, the five people arrived at a training ground built on the flat ground and temporarily built, about the size of two football fields. This was a training facility that Zhang Tiewu specially prepared some programs to receive Gu Naibin.
There is a gray earth wall that is as high as two meters, about four meters wide and thirty centimeters thick on the ground. Two meters behind the earth wall is connected with a barbed wire mesh about fifty meters long and about thirty meters wide. It covers the hard yellow soil and is an obstacle used by soldiers to practice crawling forward. The two meters of the barbed wire mesh is a sand pit that is fifteen meters long and one meter five meters deep. There is an iron rack standing at both ends of the sand pit. The two iron racks are connected to an iron pole as thick as a child. The soldiers can climb along the pole from the end of the sand pit to the opposite side.
A basket of iron fake grenades was placed opposite the sand pit, used to practice bomb drops. When they ran forward one hundred meters away, they saw five targets for practicing shooting a hundred meters away. There were several circles drawn on the target based on the center of the circle, that is, standard rings for calculating shooting results. The targets rose by about one meter behind them, and there were two human-shaped targets.
"Guardian Gu, this is a facility for our soldiers' training. Due to the limited venue, we can only put these things down and just take a look." Zhang Tiewu was a little surprised when he saw Gu Naibin seeing these facilities. Such training grounds are rare in the new army. Training with these obstacles connected together is rare, so he explained.
"These training programs are indeed unique. If you have to go through these obstacles in a row, the requirements for soldiers are relatively high. Ordinary soldiers may not be able to do such a series of actions?" Gu Naibin saw that the function of these facilities was to let soldiers slid through the walls, crawl through the barbed wire, climb over the sand pit, throw grenades, and shoot several targets a hundred meters away. So he felt that it would be difficult for ordinary soldiers to complete such a series of actions, so he asked.
"Of course not. All the soldiers of our army must be proficient in these basic movements, including us generals and officials. If they cannot even be skilled and free, they will suffer a great loss on the battlefield." Zhang Tiewu chuckled and shook his head. At this time, of course, he must seize the opportunity to boast about Zhenguo Army and give these revolutionaries a long experience. The main purpose is to let Gu Naibin bring back the extraordinary combat power of Zhenguo Army and publicize them so that the revolutionaries in the new army dare not be enemies and join forces with Zhenguo Army as soon as possible.
"Call the soldiers in the kitchen squad, and then ask Guan Guilai to pick a few out at will, and do a set of continuous actions for him to see!" Zhang Tiewu saw Gu Naibin showing suspicion and seemed to be a little unbelievable, so he ordered the guard next to him.
"yes!"
A young guard immediately ran away and ran towards a temporary barracks a hundred meters away nearby. Then the squad leader of a kitchen squad in the first battalion led seven or eight soldiers carrying guns to come out in a neat manner. Their steps made loud and rhythmic footsteps. No one's footsteps were chaotic. Everyone looked ahead, staring at the sight, and their movements were neatly made as if they were made by one person.
