Andongcheng is a mountainous county with more mountains and few lands. In order to find a place where nearly two thousand soldiers can conduct exercises, the senior executives of the Independent Regiment have also put a lot of effort into it.

In the end, we found a suitable location in a dry valley twenty-five miles away from the Independent Regiment base. The valley, which is seven or eight miles long and nearly eight hundred meters wide, can accommodate the exercise troops.

Since Liu Lang returned from overseas, he signed a military order. The Independent Regiment drew 1,500 people from the escorts of each village in Andongcheng, and dispatched disabled veterans from each village as instructors. 1,100 of the 1,500 people were organized into a Blue Army according to the Black Hawk Army Infantry Brigade.

This Blue Army is an opponent arranged by Liu Lang for the Independent Regiment, a unit formed by purely imitating the Black Hawk Army. In order to more truly reflect the combat effectiveness of the Black Hawk Army, this Blue Army unit not only uses the Black Hawk Infantry Brigade, but also uses pure equipment for weapons and ammunition, but also wears the Black Hawk Army uniforms. This makes it difficult for the guards to accept. After hearing this news, at least half of the people gave up and refused to go home, even if each person had no extra allowance of twenty silver coins per month.

It was Zhang Ruhao, the deputy of the regiment, who took the initiative and told them a good reason. He told them not to let them wear this yellow dress to fight with the Black Hawk Empire, but to accompany the infantry battalions of the Independent Regiment to train well, and promised that as long as they practiced properly, if the formal exercise could defeat the regular army of the Independent Regiment, then when the Independent Regiment replenished the troops, they would be given priority to supplement their number ones. Even if they still didn't want to do it, they would be fine, and they should not be a guard when they went back.

All kinds of "coercion and inducement" have barely left more than a thousand people. As the captain of the Blue Army, the regiment deputy Zhang Ruhao was selected as the captain of the Blue Army, five deputy companies were selected from four infantry battalions as the captain of the Blue Army, a total of four infantry squadrons and a machine gun squadron, and a deputy company was selected from the artillery battalion as the captain of the Blue Army. All squadrons were selected from the new recruits to serve as the instructor, and the squad leader was appointed by retired veterans in each village who were in good physical condition.

The Blue Army not only has the same organization as the Black Hawk Infantry Brigade, but all tactical requirements must also be the same as the Black Hawk Army. Even when shouting combat commands, they are required to be completed in the Black Hawk language. Their station is near that valley. With the hard training of the regiment deputy Zhang Ruhao, the entire Blue Army has been practicing hard for nearly three months before it can be considered to have initially formed combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for the Black Hawk's words with Qiu Tongzhou accent when shouting the battle order that exposed them as a group of kingdom soldiers, at first glance, it would be a Black Hawk infantry brigade.

Regardless of the new recruits and veterans, the Independent Regiment had basically no experience in field battles with the Blackhawk Imperial Army on the plains except for the more than 200 people who participated in the Battle of Haicheng and the Blackhawk Imperial Army who fought against the Blackhawk Imperial Army in the Haicheng area and the Blackhawk Imperial Army on the plains.

Although the elites in the ancient city fought a fierce battle with the Black Hawk Imperial Army, the battle in the ancient city began with mountain defense. When pursuing the 8th Division, the opponent had no cannons, and his own artillery fire had a huge advantage, so it was not considered that he had completely fought with the Black Hawk Imperial Army in the plains, especially when the troops were slightly weak and his own artillery was not supported.

According to Liu Lang's idea, the Independent Regiment must be trained to compete with the Black Hawk Army even if it only has light weapons. Because no one can guarantee that the Independent Regiment will be able to obtain effective supplies in the Grand Legion Battle. Liu Lang even thought of the protracted war after the Grand Battle. The soldiers of the Independent Regiment must learn to fight the Black Hawk Army with "fire sticks".

The four infantry battalions of the Independent Regiment, no matter which battalion, did not receive artillery fire support from the artillery battalion, and the fire support platoon of the infantry company was not allowed to fight. What they could use were light machine guns and heavy machine guns carried out from the regiment headquarters warehouse. All new weapons were not used.

Without MG42 and mountain cannons, the mortars were reduced to the same level as the Central Army, and the firepower of each infantry battalion instantly dropped to one-third of the previous one.

On the other hand, all firepower configurations are equipped according to the Black Hawk Army's standard infantry brigade. A machine gun squadron has a total of 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, a 50-person artillery squadron has two Type 92 infantry artillery artillery, and a squadron has three infantry squadrons.

However, Liu Lang made some changes in the Blue Army imitating the Black Hawk Army squad, but did not organize them according to the current Black Hawk Army squad. According to the current Black Hawk Army squad, one team had two light machine guns and two sets of grenade launchers. However, in fact, after the full war began, the Black Hawk Army made changes to the infantry squad in order to strengthen the attack power of grassroots troops. The light machine gun was transferred to the squad, but the grenade launcher was even stronger, forming a grenade launcher squad with three grenade launchers.

Therefore, the Blue Army squad is organized with three infantry squads, one grenade squad, which includes three light machine guns and three grenade squads.

At this point, from brigade-level firepower to squadron-level firepower or squad-level firepower, the Blue Army is above the Independent Regiment Infantry Battalion, and whether it is Chi Dakui's first battalion with a number of more than 700 people, Cheng Yuanshan's bayonet with a number of only more than 490 people, Zhou Shiyu's suicide camp, and Li Guobin's Panshi camp, they all have to deal with the attacks of the Blue Army troops alone.

What's even more excessive is that other military company-level chief officers who serve as the exercise referee will more or less favor the Blue Army. For example, if a mortar blows to the forty meters in front of that fire point, the opponent will basically be sentenced to death. After all, this is an exercise, and you can't really go to a single shot to bomb the opponent.

But the distance depends on how the referees determine. Often, the Blue Army's grenade launcher is so 50 meters away. The firepower point of the participating troops on the Independent Regiment is declared to be finished. The machine gunner can only withdraw from the position with the machine gun in his arms and declare his death. Because the machine gun was also "blown". On the other hand, if you do not fire two guns in the same position in succession, the referee on the Blue Army's position will not be able to bird you.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! According to their statement, God knows whether you can fight so accurately during actual combat? What if your level is that? Among them, the commander of an artillery battalion who was the vice president and magistrate was the most arrogant. Anyone who saw the mortar of the participating troops of the independent regiment was slightly far from the firepower point of the Blue Army and did not reach the ideal distance, the opposite mortar position was judged to be destroyed by infantry artillery.

Damn it, I can shoot one shot, but I was sentenced to death in the same way. But a certain artillery battalion commander disdained to explain. In his awesome words, artillery is no different from infantry. If you can't kill others, it's the other person's turn to blow you to death. Do you think the infantry cannons of the Black Hawk Empire in actual combat are vegetarians? It's not a permanent fortification, and you can fly to the sky with one shot.

The leaders of the battalions at all battalions were so angry that they vomited blood, but they had no choice but to do anything about it. Of course they knew that the commander and commander must be instructed by the regiment commander. Otherwise, those guys would dare to give them eye pills so despicable? Not to mention the three newly promoted infantry battalion commanders, Chi Daqina is a serious colonel, one of the core of the Independent Regiment, and Commander Liu's first confidant beloved general, was not so cheated that he rolled his eyes, but could only scold his mother on the position.

The firepower is inferior, the number of people is inferior, and it is an exercise. If you can't play, you can't play. I will bite off half of your ear. As long as you get an empty bullet, you will be sentenced to death and there is no chance to fight again. Of course, there is also the referee's naked favoritism and steal the spotlight. The four independent regiment infantry battalions were defeated under the attack of the Blues without any suspense.

The first battalion of Chi Dakui, who had been persisting for the longest time, only persisted for a day and a night. After finally organizing a night attack, the Blue Army on the opposite side trapped nearly two rows of platoons were trapped by the kingdom-style trap. Under Zhang Ruhao's command, two squadrons were waiting for Chi Dakui to come to the kingdom's army to come. When the flares lit up in the air above a company participating in the night attack, the two platoons that rushed in the front were directly judged by the referee team, and only two platoons that were behind were evacuated.

When the battle was damaged by half, Chi Dakui had no chance even if he wanted to persist. Liu Lang, who was watching the battle, directly sentenced the first battalion to lose. According to him, more than 300 people were no longer enough to resist the continued attack of more than 800 "Black Hawk Imperial Army", especially when the opponent would send additional planes and heavy artillery to participate in the battle.

This is the case with the first battalion with a force of more than 700 people, not to mention the other three small battalions with less than 500 people. In just one day, half of the battle was damaged and was also sentenced to losses by Liu Lang.

The Independent Regiment Competition, which spans a month, ended with all the failures of the four main infantry battalions of the Independent Regiment.

The Blues who won the victory each received ten silver coins, received the honor of five days off, and also rewarded a new military uniform for the Independent Regiment, which was not worthy of military rank. This made the members of the more than a thousand village guards very excited. Although they did not have military ranks, it almost meant that they had become reserve soldiers of the Independent Regiment. As long as they were expanded, they would definitely be selected.

You should know that according to the convention of the Kingdom Army, a reorganized regiment has a mobile organization of 1,500 strong men.
