Under the command of Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao, the soldiers stopped training.
Then, two to three hundred people quickly lined up. Many people looked at Iron Bull curiously.
The 1st Battalion had the strongest combat strength and the most veterans.
In order to ensure that the 1st Battalion's combat strength would not be affected, Li Yun Long selected some of the veterans from the other two battalions to supplement the 1st Battalion.
This action made the other two Battalion Commanders of the new regiment unhappy.
However, there was nothing they could do. After all, their battalion was weaker than the 1st Battalion.
These veterans recognized Iron Bull. Many of them had seen Iron Bull enter the new regiment and knew that he was an artillery soldier.
Artillery was a relatively awkward position in the new regiment. If the new regiment could have as many cannons as the Japanese, it would have been better.
Artillery might even have a special status and enjoy certain privileges.
However, the new regiment didn't have that many cannons or enough cannonballs, which made the artillery not that important.
Iron Bull looked at the warriors present, his legs trembling slightly. He had never given any speeches before.
Now that he had to face two to three hundred soldiers, Iron Bull could not help but feel nervous.
"Buff, don't be nervous. Just treat these soldiers like soybeans.”
Seeing that Iron Bull was a little nervous, Zhang Dabiao quickly comforted him.
Iron Bull nodded gratefully. He looked at the warriors and saw that they all had friendly expressions. They did not look down on him as he had imagined.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the 1st Battalion, Iron Bull was still young, so they were naturally more lenient.
Needless to say, Iron Bull had performed quite well in the battle against the Sakata United Army, reducing the number of casualties for the new regiment.
It could be said that Iron Bull could be considered the new battle hero.
Even though Iron Bull was a little nervous, the warriors did not care too much.
Taking a deep breath, Iron Bull was silent for a moment before taking two to three steps forward.
"Comrades, when I arrived at our 1st Battalion, I could see that you were training seriously. You are indeed the elites of our regiment.”
"Everyone knows that our regiment doesn't have many artillery to begin with. In the battle with the Sakata United Army, we successfully found the position of the Sakata United Army's artillery, causing a huge loss to the Sakata United Army! The counterattack of the Sakata Regiment left me alone in the artillery unit.”
"Their sacrifice was worth it. In this battle, we successfully seized six Type 92 infantry cannons and five mortars from the Japanese.”
"Now, I am the only artillery left in our regiment. I am not Nezha. Without three heads and six arms, I cannot control so many cannons.”
"Therefore, I came to our 1st Battalion to select some soldiers to train as artillery.”
"Perhaps the cannons of our regiment are still far inferior to the Japanese, but I believe that the future of our regiment is bright. One day, we will be able to defeat the Japanese!”
"Warriors who are willing to become artillery soldiers can step forward. I will conduct a corresponding test for you. I hope everyone can participate enthusiastically.”
The soldiers looked at Iron Bull with shock written all over their faces. Since when did this honest man Iron Bull have such eloquence?
Some of the soldiers started to think about it seriously. Becoming an artillery soldier seemed to be a good idea. At least it would be quite comfortable to shoot down the Japanese!
"Buff, are there any requirements for becoming an artillery soldier?”An old soldier asked.
The other warriors also looked at Iron Bull, wanting to know what kind of request he would have.
Iron Bull had said a lot just now, but he didn't mention this point.
Now, if a soldier wanted to become an artillery soldier, he would naturally need to know the requirements to become an artillery soldier and see if he met the requirements.
Iron Bull's face turned red. He noticed that he had forgotten to mention this. This made him feel a little ashamed. He had not done well enough.
"I only have three requests! Not afraid of death! Good eyesight! You know how to count!" Iron Bull said loudly.
Being an artillery soldier was quite dangerous.
The enemy infantry wanted to find you, the enemy artillery wanted to find you, and the enemy air force wanted to find you even more!
It would be fine if the artillery was not injured, but if they were injured, they would be severely injured. Most of them would die immediately.
Iron Bull knew this, so he chose not to be afraid of death as his top priority.
"There are only thirty spots in the entire regiment. Everyone wants to become an artillery soldier.”
Seeing that the soldiers were still hesitating, Iron Bull shouted again.
This time, the warriors no longer hesitated. Thirty spots was a little too little.
There were more than a thousand people in the group. The chances of being selected were too low.
With more people, there would be more soldiers who wanted to become artillery.
He found a small notebook from Zhang Dabiao's camp. Iron Bull recorded the soldiers who came to register and asked them for relevant information.
Half an hour later, Iron Bull finished recording.
Not bad. There were nearly 30 soldiers in the battalion who wanted to become artillery.
If it wasn't for the fact that some soldiers saw the grim expression on Zhang Dabiao's face, there might have been even more people coming to sign up.
"Brother Zhang, thank you. I'll go to the other two battalions to take a look.”
Iron Bull put away the book and said gratefully.
Seeing Iron Bull thank him, Zhang Dabiao felt a little comforted.
He was Iron Bull's big brother, so taking care of Iron Bull was nothing.
Moreover, if the artillery were to come out from their own battalion, then during the battle, artillery support should be more timely.
However, when he thought about how many soldiers in his battalion were leaving, Zhang Dabiao felt his heart ache.
They had just arrived at a new place, and the commoners were not familiar with the new regiment yet. It was still somewhat difficult to recruit soldiers.
The only thing that made Zhang Dabiao glad was that most of the people who wanted to become artillery were new recruits, and there were not many veterans.
"Battalion Commander, who is this person? Why can they randomly pick soldiers from our camp?”
The little warrior could not help but ask as he watched Iron Bull leave.
The little soldier knew that the company commander of the regiment's security company had wanted to select people, but he had been rejected by Zhang Dabiao. Who was this Iron Bull?
Zhang Dabiao looked at the little soldier and smiled.
"This is our new regiment's treasure, the only remaining artillery in our regiment. He played a lot of role in the battle against the Sakata Regiment.”
"Don't look down on him because he's young. If not a thousand, at least eight hundred Japanese have died at his hands!”
"What's wrong? You want to become an artillery soldier too?"
Zhang Dabiao noticed the yearning on the little warrior's face and asked.
The little warrior nodded hesitantly.
"I didn't have such thoughts at first, but after hearing what you said, Battalion Commander, I feel that the artillery is really powerful. I want to become as powerful as him and kill more Japanese!”
Zhang Dabiao laughed when he saw the little soldier's serious look.
"Well, go back to your duty. If you want to be an artillery soldier, when he comes again, you'll be counted in.”
"Battalion Commander, is it really possible?"
The little warrior looked at Zhang Dabiao in surprise and asked in disbelief.
Zhang Dabiao nodded seriously and reached out to touch the little soldier's head.
"Don't worry, with my relationship with Iron Bull, I can still count you in.”
After receiving Zhang Dabiao's promise, the little soldier happily returned to his post and continued to patrol seriously.
Thank you for the evaluation votes, everyone!
