Chapter 4, Good Things
"It is quite normal that you haven't seen it before," explained Gao Hongming beside him. "Indeed, this is the latest MP40 submachine gun from Germany, with a total weight of 4.69 kilograms, a theoretical rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute, and a range of 200 meters. It is an ideal weapon for close-range suppression"
Young Master, Doctor Xie has come to change your dressing
What appeared before the eyes of the three individuals was a row of neatly arranged firearms and stacks of ammunition boxes. Moreover, in the corner of the room, there were more than ten mortars, which surprisingly filled the over one hundred square meter room to the brim.
Yes
Never expect a soldier who has hardly fired a few bullets to transform into a sharpshooter with perfect accuracy once they are on the battlefield
He took a pack of Hardman cigarettes and a match out of his pocket, lit one, placed the cigarette box on the table, took a few puffs, and after letting the smoke circulate in his lungs for a while, he finally exhaled. The spicy flavor made him feel much more invigorated.
Upon realizing this, he quickly straightened his chest, brought his legs together, and said loudly: "Sir, it was the department's mistake, and we will certainly correct it in the future"
A bewildered Gao Hongming looked at Daba, whose expression was quite peculiar. After a long while, Daba hesitantly said: "Young Master, I have advised you long ago, you are already with the Young Mistress, Doctor Xie will not like you."
Call ... ...
Gao Hongming remained silent, while Wu Chengfeng and Xiao Zhankui exchanged glances and gritted their teeth, saying: "If it really comes to it, eight taels a day is acceptable, but... but in that case, the brothers will probably lack the strength to train."
Half an hour had passed, and the three gradually came to their senses from their ecstatic state. Wu Chengfeng, suppressing his immense joy, exclaimed loudly: "Young Master ... ... "
Wu Chengfeng and *Tu* Shu quickly replied: "You are absolutely right, without rules there can be no order, especially in the military. Both Lao Xiao and I are not people who do not understand rules; we have just become accustomed to a more relaxed environment over the years and have not yet adapted to it."
Gao Hongming interrupted Wu Chengfeng's words
After blowing a smoke ring, Gao Hongming finally asked, "Old Wu, Old Xiao, is the food in our militia usually like this?"
Gao Hongming sat in the chair, and soon Dr. Xie, with a stunning figure, walked in. She first instructed Gao Hongming to remove his shirt and unwrapped the bandage to take a look. "Young Master Gao, you are quite lucky; the wound has not become infected. After a few more changes of the dressing, it will be fine. However, during this time, you must be careful not to let the wound come into contact with water. Do you remember?"
It has already been wrapped. Remember what I just said: the wound must not come into contact with water, otherwise it will be troublesome if it becomes inflamed. I will head back now
As for shooting and bombing, Gao Hongming can imagine how terrible it is without even looking; coming from a future era, he understands a very simple and unadorned truth
My dear... so many... so many guns
At noon, Gao Hongming delivered a total of 300 Mauser 98K rifles, 60 MP40 submachine guns, 20 MG42 general-purpose machine guns, and 8 M2 mortars
Firstly, although the current weapons and equipment of the Chinese military are claimed to be of international brands, they are primarily based on German-style weapons. Moreover, German-style weapons are well-made, durable, and reliable, offering the highest cost-performance ratio. Additionally, they do not attract excessive attention.
Come in
In the afternoon, Gao Hongming called Da Bao, Xiao Zhankui, and Wu Chengfeng, bringing the three of them to an empty house. When he opened the door, the sight that appeared inside immediately widened everyone's eyes.
Come in
Wait a moment
The commander is absolutely right. Wu Chengfeng slapped his thigh and said, "Although these soldiers have been trained by me and Old Xiao for over a month, I estimate that when the gunfire starts, half of them will be scared away.
Dabao appeared at the door, standing next to him was the stunning female doctor from yesterday.
When Wu Chengfeng took a rifle out of the box, he swiftly tore off the gun cover, skillfully pulled the bolt back, and smiled so broadly that he could hardly close his mouth: "It's a German Mauser rifle, and it's actually original equipment?"
Dabao was the first to unable to hold back and shout out
"Why thank me? It is your young master who is fortunate to be alive," Dr. Xie said淡淡, as she swiftly re-dressed Gao Hongming's wound with deft hands
Gao Hongming had not yet spoken, and Dabaos quickly nodded beside him: "I remember, Dr. Xie, I truly owe you a great deal."
Speaking of which, this pack of cigarettes was found in the pocket of the clothes yesterday. It seems that the original owner of this body was also a smoker, which can be considered a small surprise for Gao Hongming.
Gao Hongming turned his head and saw that it was Daba who had picked up a machine gun from the ground and was curiously looking around.
"Young master... what kind of machine gun is this? Why does it look so ugly?"
Now let us discuss serious matters
Wait a moment
The two individuals, who had been feeling stifled for a long time, almost lunged at the weapons. Wu Chengfeng unceremoniously pried open a box, and a series of bright orange rifles suddenly appeared before his eyes
He had just sat down for a short while when someone outside knocked on the door
No need for ! ''
Gao Hongming waved his hand and said, "You all carry on with your work; I will go back and rest for a while. I will find a way to handle the food situation."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three individuals became serious, and three pairs of eyes simultaneously turned towards Gao Hongming
Gao Hongming laughed and scolded, "What are you looking at me for? These things are brought here for you to use, just go ahead and try them out and see if they fit."
Wu Chengfeng felt a chill in his heart; it seemed that this young master of the Gao family had increasingly embraced his role since his injury. This was a subtle way of admonishing himself
Gao Hongming pondered and said: "You have all been soldiers for many years, so you certainly understand that a soldier's good marksmanship is developed through practice, and courage is forged through combat. Would you agree with this reasoning?"
Although Wu Chengfeng and Xiao Zhankui have been in the Northwest Army for seven or eight years, they are not much better off than Dabao. After all, the Northwest Army, despite its renowned reputation, is also notoriously poor. At that time, both of them were merely junior officers in the Northwest Army, and they had not encountered many such individuals.
Hey ... ... Daba ... ... what kind of attitude is she showing?
At this point, seeing Gao Hongming's expressionless face, he quickly explained: "Young Master, I... I and Old Xiao both know that food is hard to come by these days, so we have discussed it. Starting tomorrow, the soldiers' rations will be regulated, with each person receiving one pound of mixed grain per day. What do you think?"
Alright
"Hey... there's no need to be so tense, I was just saying that." Seeing Wu Chengfeng suddenly become serious, Gao Hongming felt a bit guilty and quickly said, "We at hetushucom.com keep public and private matters separate, but that does not affect our friendship behind the scenes. I hope you won't hold it against me for being unfeeling."
In that moment, it felt as if countless mice were scurrying in their hearts, and they could only direct their gaze towards Gao Hongming
Having finished speaking, he then stood up and left the training ground
Then, seeing the disdainful expression on Da Bao's face, Gao Hongming merely smiled without saying a word. He believed that saying it a thousand times was not as effective as experiencing it firsthand; in the future, you will understand the power of this machine gun.
Xiao Zhankui opened another wooden box, and to his astonishment, it was filled to the brim with submachine guns. He gasped, "This is actually a Thompson submachine gun, but I don't think I've ever seen this type of gun before"
Old Wu, now that we have established the militia, you are no longer the guardian of the Gao family. You are now the company commander of the militia, so it would be better for us to address each other more formally, what do you think
You are right about that. Gao Hongming revealed a hint of coldness, saying, "It is time to settle some accounts, but it is not yet the right moment."
Moreover, the reason for exclusively purchasing German goods has also been thoroughly considered by Gao Hongming
Three thousand dollars can buy so many weapons; apart from oneself who has an unfair advantage, there is no one else. It is important to note that at today's market price, with this amount of money, if one were to seek to purchase weapons, it would be a blessing to acquire a dozen or twenty second-hand rifles, let alone arm two companies to the teeth with this sum.
As for bringing out the MG42, this formidable weapon, two years in advance, it is an unavoidable circumstance. Today, Gao Hongming from the militia has also observed the training, and in terms of formation, it can at best be compared to the training level of middle school students in later generations
This is how I think
These weapons alone have spent all the three thousand dollars that Da Bao brought from https://m.hetushu.com, and now Gao Hongming has not a single copper coin to his name. However, Gao Hongming does not feel any pain; on the contrary, he feels that he has made a tremendous profit.
Alright, let's not discuss these matters any further
Except for a very few exceptionally gifted individuals, all marksmen are trained with bullets
Gao Hongming waved his hand, bringing this topic to a close
As he swallowed the last bite of his meal, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He casually picked up a bowl of clear vegetable soup and took a big gulp, then let out a satisfied burp before finally setting down the bowl and chopsticks
Get lost
Dr. Xie fixed him with a pair of large eyes, seemingly filled with anger, "Young Master Gao, it has been a while since we last met, and your skills in courting women have certainly improved; you have even learned to feign madness and act foolishly."
What language is this?
Despite its unpalatable nature, Gao Hongming dared not put down his chopsticks. He insisted on finishing the bowl of mixed grain rice he had prepared himself, even if it meant eating it while kneeling. Thus, he stubbornly forced himself to finish the entire bowl.
Gao Hongming couldn't help but call out to her, "Doctor Xie, um... I still don't know your name."
Having finished speaking, without waiting for Gao Hongming to respond, he angrily left while carrying the medicine box
Isn't it because most people have never fired a gun or seen blood? Practicing on the training ground for a month is not as effective as spending an hour on the battlefield... Sir, are you planning to take us somewhere for a stroll after distributing the weapons?
Unable to endure any longer, Gao Hongming finally expelled Dabao from his room, and the entire world instantly became tranquil
Wu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Brothers train hard every day, and they are all young men, each one a big fellow. Naturally, they eat a lot, so the two thousand jin of grain you brought last time has been nearly consumed in just a few days"
