Lin Fan stood at attention and saluted, "Thank you, Commander! The country and the nation will remember everything you have done today."

After saying that, he immediately returned to the ground floor and organized the soldiers of the Special Forces Company to wipe and pack the captured weapons once again.

Lin Fan had already organized the soldiers to disassemble and wipe these weapons as soon as they were collected.

It was because the soldiers of this company liked to maintain these weapons.

All the weapons that the entire 542nd Regiment had cleaned up from the battlefield and sent back, except for some command knives left by the soldiers,

were all stored here in the Special Forces Company.

When needed, the soldiers would directly ask the Special Forces Company for them, and return them after use.

The Special Forces Company was virtually the logistics weapons warehouse for the entire 542nd Regiment.

Moreover, the weapons that were returned were not even wiped clean.

They needed to be wiped by the soldiers of the Special Forces Company, and none of these soldiers complained.

Now that Lin Fan was packing these weapons, none of the soldiers of the 542nd Regiment had any objections.

All the soldiers stationed here knew that from the moment they entered this warehouse, they could no longer be considered living people.

When Li Xian appeared at the Sihang Warehouse again, Lin Fan pointed to the weapons and ammunition in two rooms and said:

"It's all here. I've cleared out 1,673 rifles and 56 machine guns, with 200,000 rounds of ammunition.

Can it all be transported away tonight?"

Li Xian looked at these weapons and asked, "Do you have any conditions for the use and distribution of these weapons?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "There is only one condition: that they are used in the War of Resistance and in the cause of justice."

Li Xian felt that his question was a bit too subtle.

He smiled wryly and asked directly, "What do you need us to send you after we send these out?"

Lin Fan laughed, "We are all comrades! This is within my ability to do. I am alone here, eating well and sleeping well.

I don't need anything."

Li Xian finally smiled, "Comrade Lin! You have done the organization a great service. With such a large batch of weapons, the anti-Japanese forces we can organize will be greatly expanded."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I will continue to work hard! As long as there is life, the War of Resistance will not cease!

I will strive to seize more and better weapons for our forces."

Li Xian said with embarrassment, "Comrade Lin, the twenty key personnel you requested will need to be selected from the combat troops.

I estimate that they will not be able to arrive for a while.

However, I have already recommended myself to the organization as the instructor you requested."

Lin Fan immediately extended his hands, "Instructor Li, welcome to join the Special Forces Company.

Key personnel definitely can't come over at this time.

My idea is to wait until we break out of here and then converge in the vast world outside."

Li Xian looked at Lin Fan in surprise, "You are leaving here?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Leaving the Sihang Warehouse is definitely something we have to do.

The National Army will not let us defend here to the death.

The Concessions will also not allow us to defend here to the death.

However, we will leave when the National Army orders us to abandon this place.

The instructor must be mentally prepared. At that time, we can only measure the earth with our feet.

Following me, you must have strong legs."

Li Xian laughed, "In Shanghai, the two professions with the strongest legs are rickshaw pullers, who pull passengers every day. If their legs aren't strong, they don't have the means to make a living.

The other is us reporters. If our legs are weak and we run slowly, we won't be able to grab the news, and we won't have food to eat."

Hearing him say it so interestingly, Lin Fan laughed loudly, "Good! That's good. You must maintain it."

After Li Xian waited for him to finish laughing, he continued to ask, "Do you have any specific requirements for the key personnel you need?"

Lin Fan thought for a while, "If possible, I hope these people are politically reliable and have firm ideals.

This is the most important thing, because the entire company's mission in my plan will be the most arduous.

Only those with sufficiently firm ideals can lead the soldiers to move unwaveringly towards the goal.

Furthermore, they must be agile, good at shooting, and have strong legs."

Li Xian listened carefully to what Lin Fan said.

He also carefully counted the number of packages after the weapons to be sent out were packed.

Only then did he say to Lin Fan, "Can I use the phone to send the information here out?"

Lin Fan reminded him, "Be careful of eavesdropping!"

"Understood!" Li Xian was now a reporter, and they often used the phone here to call their newspaper office.

He was not the only one using the phone here; all the reporters were using it.

However, when making a call, there were soldiers from the 542nd Regiment listening nearby.

This was also to prevent anyone from revealing information that should not be said.

Li Xian vaguely used code to tell the number of weapons Lin Fan had prepared.

With so many weapons, it was impossible for a few people to carry them away.

Upon receiving the information, the Anti-Japanese Liaison Office immediately began to take action.

For this kind of thing, it was still necessary to find the local snakes in Shanghai to take the lead.

At this time, when the whole nation's enthusiasm for the War of Resistance was high, smuggling some supplies out of the Sihang Warehouse

was what the capitalists who had stored supplies in the Sihang Warehouse wanted to do most.

The two sides hit it off immediately!

Even the multinational military observation group agreed to this operation.

Kojima Junichiro neither supported nor dared to oppose it, so the matter was settled.

This time, the merchants in the Concessions wanted to transport out some rice and flour from the Sihang Warehouse, which were all basic necessities of life.

No one raised any objections.

In this way, the 542nd Regiment stationed in the Sihang Warehouse only proposed that the transportation time should be at night!

This request was immediately met.

After nightfall, the 542nd Regiment sent out soldiers to remove the mines deployed on the road leading to the Concessions.

Only then did they send a signal, allowing the thirty or so carts that had been prepared on the other side to enter.

Along with the carts, dozens of porters also entered.

When these carts and people were still on the Suzhou Creek Iron Bridge, they were subjected to a detailed inspection by the 542nd Regiment.

The soldiers stationed in the Sihang Warehouse were also afraid that Japanese soldiers might be mixed among these workers, launching a surprise attack.

After these vehicles and workers entered the Sihang Warehouse, the entire 542nd Regiment piled up fortifications not far from the workers' work area and set up machine guns.

They had to ensure that nothing unexpected happened!

The ending was very satisfactory to all parties!

The entire cargo handling process was very smooth. During the handling process, no workers took the opportunity to go to the toilet, no workers had stomachaches, and no workers ran around randomly.

These workers all followed the prescribed routes and did their jobs honestly.

In fact, these workers were very excited. The deeds of the guards in the past few days had greatly encouraged them.

However, they also knew that today was not the time to express their admiration.

At a time like this, the greatest admiration for the guards was to follow the prescribed route.

The weapons and equipment prepared by Lin Fan were also among the items transported this time.

They were sent into the Concessions without any surprises.

This was something that Lin Fan had not expected at all.

Two full carts of weapons and ammunition entered the Concessions in such a grand manner.

This once again proved the organization's wisdom and strength!

The weapons disassembly and assembly competition that could not be held last night finally began this evening.

There was a row of ten platforms, each with a Zhongzheng rifle, a Type 38 rifle, and a light machine gun.

These three types of firearms.

Lin Fan asked each squad in the Special Forces Company to recommend three people to participate in the competition. The first place would be awarded the title of First Place in Disassembly and Assembly, and so on.

The squad that took first place would receive a red banner with the words "Disassembly and Assembly Excellent Squad" written on it by Li Xian.

Lin Fan had already explained clearly: this kind of competition would be held once a month, and the red banner would follow the first place.

Whichever squad took first place, the red banner would be in that squad!

Seven squads participated in the competition, and Lin Fan directly commanded these ten people to form a squad.

Divided into eight groups.

Ten platforms, with two left empty as spares.

For the sake of fairness, this competition not only had officers from the 542nd Regiment as judges, but also the reporters who remained in the Sihang Warehouse personally took the time with their pocket watches.

For some reason, all the squad leaders were the first to take the stage in the first round.

For the sake of fairness and justice, Lin Fan specially wrote the numbers one to ten, representing the ten platforms, and let the eight squad leaders draw lots.

In this way, no one would know who would be assigned to which platform.

Furthermore, there would be two empty platforms each time.

The order of drawing lots was still according to the order of the squads.

Chen Sichuan, the first squad leader, rolled up his sleeves and put his hand into the big-bellied earthenware pot.

Everyone watched his hand go in, but he didn't take it out for a long time.

Chen Sichuan's hand kept stirring the ten small paper balls in the earthenware pot.

He didn't know which one he should grab.

Lin Fan said with a smile, "There's a loophole in the rules! The next hand that goes in must be taken out within five seconds."

At this time, Chen Sichuan had no choice but to pick out a paper ball with two fingers.

He handed it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan opened it and showed it to everyone: Number Three!

Chen Sichuan smiled and walked to platform number three, which was not the platform with the weapons provided by his squad.

The weapons of the first squad were placed on platform number one.

If he could disassemble and assemble with weapons that he was accustomed to, it would definitely be an advantage.

Jia Shusheng shouted, "Squad Leader Chen! You've made a profit. Our squad's guns are the best wiped."

These words were too offensive. His implication was that the third squad was the best at wiping weapons?

There is no first in literature, but there is in martial arts!

Several squad leaders immediately cursed.

Lin Fan had to interrupt their cursing.

He said with a smile, "Instead of arguing, it's better to save your energy and compete well later.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll see in a while."

Liu Laopao, the second squad leader, cupped his fists at everyone present: "Thank you for your support. Later, those with money can contribute money, and those with people can contribute people. Shout a few more cheers for the brothers!"

After saying that, he strode up, stuck his hand in and immediately pulled it out.

This in-and-out movement took less than two seconds.

Lin Fan took the paper ball: "Number Two!"

Several squad leaders immediately shouted, "Damn it, you stepped on dog shit. You're so lucky.

You actually drew the guns from your own squad."

Liu Laopao was beaming: "This first place, brothers, I've got it! You're too kind! Too kind!"

He even cupped his hands in all directions, as if he had already won first place.

Jia Shusheng was speechless. His squad's guns had already been taken by Chen Sichuan.

Jia Shusheng did not delay and picked out a paper ball in a regulated manner: "Number Five!"

Zhen Danxiao's face immediately fell: he didn't have Liu Laopao's luck this time.

Little Northeast Pu Pengju said nothing and went straight up, taking out a paper ball: "Number Eight!"

After Lin Fan read out the number, he took the initiative to stand on platform number eight.

Zhen Danxiao drew number six.

Ye Dadan glared at him fiercely: "You did it on purpose!"

"I didn't!"

Yang Daren said with a smile, "Watch me draw number seven!"

Lin Fan announced the number: "Number One!"

Yang Daren was a little disbelieving. When he saw the number displayed, he walked to platform number one.

"Number one, number one! That means I'm the first!"

Feng Junya represented the dozen or so people directly under Lin Fan, and no one was willing to compete with him to be the first to take the stage.

He randomly took out a paper ball: "Number Ten!"

The group was complete.

Lin Fan walked to the unmanned platform number nine and said to everyone, "Without rules, there can be no standards!

Since it's a competition, let's make the rules clear first.

Especially you contestants.

I'll demonstrate the method of disassembly and assembly for this competition."

"The first order cannot be changed. First disassemble the Zhongzheng, then the Type 38, and finally the machine gun. If the order is changed, two points will be deducted for each type of gun.

The disassembly of the guns should be done like this: first disassemble the Zhongzheng completely, don't assemble it, then disassemble the Type 38, don't assemble it, and then disassemble the machine gun.

After all three types of guns are disassembled.

Then start assembling, and when assembling, follow the same order as when disassembling, first disassembled first assembled, and last disassembled last assembled.

Disassemble the Zhongzheng to here, the bolt and bolt carrier must be completely separated.

The lower extractor and firing pin do not need to be disassembled.

The same goes for the Type 38, don't disassemble it to the firing pin.

The same requirements apply to the machine gun.

Do you understand?"

Hearing Lin Fan say so much, the eight who had already stood on the platform, the sixteen who were preparing to take the stage, and the soldiers watching from the outside all shouted together:

"Understood!"

Even among the soldiers of the 542nd Regiment who were not from the Special Forces Company, many were answering loudly.

Xie Jinyuan looked at the soldiers of the Special Forces Company, his eyes shining and his face flushed.

He knew that these soldiers were looking forward to the upcoming competition.

He had to admire this Lin Fan. He really had a way of training soldiers.

Just such a simple weapon disassembly and assembly, and he actually created a competition.

And he had also brought the hearts of all the soldiers in the entire company together.

Every soldier was cheering for their squad leader and wanted to win honor for their squad leader.

Thinking about Lin Fan from the time he became the cheap company commander until now, he hadn't even paid these soldiers a penny.

These soldiers seemed to be more and more convinced of him as a company commander.

He really deserved to be an elite who had been trained in Germany!

No one could achieve this level of empty-handed white wolf.

Even today, Company Commander Lin had not made any promises to these soldiers.

He didn't say it, he just did it.

Maybe it wasn't time to say it yet!

Lin Fan then asked the eight players standing in front of the platform, "Do you have any questions?"

He saw that Liu Laopao had already restored the order of the guns that he had messed up just now.

The other players looked at the order in which the guns were placed on their platform again.

Since the company commander had stipulated it so rigidly, then they would just follow the company commander's stipulations!

"No questions!"

"Okay! Everyone is ready! Count down ten numbers!"

Everyone in the audience counted together: "Ten!"

"Nine!"

……

When he started counting, Liu Laopao felt his heart beat faster and faster.

As if it was about to jump out.

His hands also trembled slightly.

Lin Fan could see that among the eight people in front of the platform, only Zhen Danxiao was not shaking.

It was normal to be nervous during the competition. Their trembling was not because of fear.

It was just pure nervousness, but Zhen Danxiao was able to control his nervous emotions, which was also a talent.

When counting to "one".

The sound of the entire audience was like thunder.

"Start!"

Several people in front of the platform had already started when counting to one.

Therefore, Lin Fan's start was shouted immediately after "one".

With this sound of start!

These eight people all moved.

The soldiers of each squad also began to cheer for their squad leader!

"Chen Sichuan! Go!"

"Liu Laopao! Go!"

"Little Northeast! Move faster!"

……

When the first gun was disassembled, Little Northeast, Chen Sichuan, and Zhen Danxiao were clearly in the lead.

Little Northeast was the first to disassemble all three guns.

The soldiers of the fourth squad were hoarse from shouting:

"Squad leader! Go!"

"Squad leader! Go!"

Liu Laopao still secretly looked at the movements of Yang Daren on the neighboring platform number one in the midst of his busy schedule.

At this time, he had already taken off the receiver cover of the Type 38 rifle and was preparing to remove the bolt and bolt carrier.

Seeing that Yang Daren was only one step faster than him, Yang Daren had already removed the bolt and bolt carrier.

Liu Laopao became anxious, and his movements to remove the bolt were a little bigger, and he used too much force.

The bolt and bolt carrier fell to the ground together.

He quickly squatted down to pick up the two parts.

Looking at Yang Daren again, he was already disassembling the machine gun.

Now, Liu Laopao was even more flustered.

Feng Junya was also a competitive person, although he was not as arrogant as Liu Laopao from the beginning.

In fact, he had already made up his mind that he must win this first place.

And he had secretly practiced alone for a lot of time during his rest these past two days.

Today, he drew platform number ten, with number nine empty, and number eight next to it.

Although Little Northeast was small, he was an old hand.

In these days, he had also secretly added a lot of fuel to himself.

He was small, but Lin Fan had appointed him as the squad leader of twenty people, and he was very excited.

He wanted to compete for first place in everything he did, and activities like disassembly and assembly were his strengths.

And he also had an advantage with machine guns. He was one of the few soldiers in the entire Special Forces Company who was most familiar with machine guns.

When disassembling the two types of rifles, the two were on par, but when disassembling the machine gun, Little Northeast was a little faster.

Those who were shouting "go" at this time realized that it was not as effective to shout anything as it was to shout, "Squad leader! Go!"

So the soldiers of the entire Special Forces Company all united:

"Squad leader! Go!"

"Squad leader! Go!"

……
