January 20th, night.
The drill ground in Li Jia Town was brightly lit. More than 10 military searchlights illuminated the entire drill ground as if it was daytime.
After more than 20 days of training, coupled with the help of the clone soldiers, the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army in Nanzhang County improved very quickly. They lined up neatly and formed ten square formations.
At the periphery of these ten areas, clone soldiers changed into black military uniforms one after another. Each clone soldier held a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in their hands.
As for the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army, they were unarmed and did not have any weapons.
"Why did Guild Leader gather us so late at night?”
"Look, why is the newly formed 5th Battalion wearing a black military uniform and carrying new weapons?”
"We are the seniors. Although these newcomers look very strong, Guild Leader shouldn't be so biased!”
Listening to the intermittent discussion, Li Yan looked down at all the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army and said loudly,""Quiet, no noise, and no whispering!”
Instantly, the entire Drill Ground fell silent. Other than the whistling of the wind, no other sound could be heard.
From this, it could be seen that Li Yan's prestige was relatively high. No one dared to disobey his orders.
At this moment, Li Yong, who was standing at the back, walked over. He held a loudspeaker and handed it to Li Yan."Guild Leader, here!"
Li Yan took the loudspeaker from Li Yong's hand and took a step forward. His eyes were sharp and intimidating.
A moment later, Li Yan raised his megaphone and stared at the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army below, shouting,""Xia City is a great country. We have a glorious civilization of 5000 years. Since ancient times, many foreign invaders have come to Xia City, but none of them have been able to conquer us.”
"In the past, due to the isolation of the old government, China missed out on the Great Voyage Era perfectly.”
"The old government is already a thing of the past. China has entered the era of the Republic of China. However, due to the backward industrial development, there is still a huge gap between Xia City and the world's powerful countries.”
"As the saying goes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten up. On September 18th, 1931, our former affiliated island country created the Willow Lake incident and launched an invasion of China.”
"After the fall of the three northern provinces, in just eight short years, half of China has been occupied by the Japanese!”
Hearing Li Yan's words, the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army on the drill ground widened their eyes. Some of them even turned pale.
At this moment, how could they not know what Li Yan wanted to do? He wanted to lead them to change the king's flag on the city wall, from the Imperial Association Army to the Japanese resistance army!
Before the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army could accept this information, Li Yan spoke again,""I know that everyone joined the Imperial Association Army just to make a living and not to be a fool willingly. However, at this time, China is being invaded by foreign enemies and the country is being destroyed. As eight-foot-tall men, is your blood cold? Could it be that you could bear to see your own people being bullied by outsiders?”
"The Japanese invaded our country with the slogan of building a co-prosperity sphere. They want to plunder our wealth, occupy our resources, and bully our compatriots. Any Chinese man with a heart of steel should pick up a knife and gun and chase these arrogant and anti-slavery Japanese out!”
" Since the previous dynasty, Japan has been a vassal state. The emperor of Japan had to be issued by the emperor of Xia City in order to be legitimate and legitimate. However, due to a period of backwardness, this small vassal state actually wanted to rule our vast Xia City.”
"A former slave wants to become the master instead. Can we tolerate such a thing?”
At this point, Li Yan moistened his throat. He took out a letter of appointment and showed it to the public. Then, he said,"Twenty days ago, I accepted the imperial edict from the Xia City government. From now on, the Imperial Association Army in Nanzhang County is no longer the Imperial Association Army, but the newly formed 108th Division of the Chinese Republic!”
"What? The regiment commander defected to the national army, and the national government even gave him a division!”The soldiers of the Imperial Association Army on the drill ground were very surprised. Many of them were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
Although the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army in Nanzhang County did not have a good impression of the Japanese army, they were not willing to fight the Japanese.
After all, the Japanese army was too strong. The national army was being beaten back. If they went to fight the Japanese, wouldn't they be sending food to the enemy?
Ignoring the soldiers 'surprise, Li Yan turned to Zhang Dahu and ordered,""Immediately send someone to move all the weapons and equipment in the Li Manor granary over!”
"Yes, Guild Leader!" After receiving this order, Zhang Dahu quickly led the guards to move the weapons and equipment.
The drill ground of the Li Family Town was not far from the Li Family Mansion, only a few hundred meters away.
In less than ten minutes, clone soldiers carried boxes of weapons and equipment one after another and appeared on the school field.
After about half an hour, army-green firearms crates were lined up one after another on the drill ground, and each of the firearms crates was opened.
Under the illumination of the searchlights, other than Li Yan and the clone soldiers, the other soldiers and officers of the Imperial Association Army widened their eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
Under the illumination of the searchlights, the brand new Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, M60 general machine gun, and Type 63 mortars became the only theme.
"Heavens, where did Guild Leader get these weapons and equipment? Could it be from the national team? But that didn't seem right. Even the direct troops of the national army didn't have such advanced weapons. How could the national team give them to their regiment commander?”
"Hiss, I counted. There are a total of 120 Amon 60 general purpose machine guns. This is too terrifying!”
"The Amon 60 general purpose machine gun has 100 rounds of ammunition. If we use 120 Amon 60 general purpose machine guns to form a firepower network, who can break through this?”
"Look over there, those boxes are full of mortars. There are a total of 72 60mm mortars!”
On the drill ground, all kinds of discussions and exclamations mixed together.
Previously, Li Yan had taken out a small portion of the weapons and equipment to let these soldiers familiarize themselves with the operation process. They naturally knew the power of these three weapons.
These weapons were a whole level stronger than the weapons that the Japanese were equipped with. The combined firepower was simply terrifying.
The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle alone was already very impressive. This kind of rifle could shoot ten bullets at a time. It could be fired by pulling the trigger. There was no need to pull the bolt. Just the vitality of this semi-automatic rifle alone was definitely comparable to three Japanese soldiers.
