To say that Xie Jinyuan has no hatred for the government at all would be a lie.
He is a dignified fourth-generation student in Huangpu. He has been marginalized to this extent. If he doesn't complain in his heart, he is a saint.
But Xie Jinyuan had no choice.
He has no background. To put it bluntly, there is no one above him, so there is no one to support him.
His immediate boss, Sun Yuanliang, still disliked him.
Besides enduring it, what else could the powerless Xie Jinyuan do?
"It is difficult for the national army to win, but it is not necessarily possible for our army." Chen Fang suddenly smiled and said to Xie Jinyuan, "The Sihang Warehouse is so strong that light artillery attacks have no effect at all.
As for the heavy artillery... we have the public concession behind us, and there are American and British fleets on the river now. Do the Japanese dare to use heavy artillery?
Given the strength of the Sihang Warehouse, even if the enemy's teeth were broken, they still wouldn't be able to eat it! "
Xie Jinyuan listened to Chen Fang's analysis and nodded.
He was a little shocked by Chen Fang's military vision.
"He is indeed a young marshal from a wealthy family. It seems that Marshal Chen has also received professional military training, and he has personally experienced the life of a soldier at the grassroots level. Such a person will definitely become a famous general!"
Xie Jinyuan also felt a sense of admiration for Chen Fang.
A man of noble birth like him is willing to be a leader.
This alone puts countless famous generals to shame.
Feeling that Xie Jinyuan was looking at him with a burning gaze, Chen Fang struck while the iron was hot and suddenly said to Xie Jinyuan.
"Thank you Tuanfu, you and I are like grasshoppers on the same rope now. We both prosper and suffer. I think we should not just have a cooperative relationship."
Chen Fang's tentative words fell in Xie Jinyuan's ears, which surprised Xie Jinyuan.
It’s not just a cooperative relationship…
Does Chen Fang mean to ask him to take refuge in Chen Fang?
Xie Jinyuan did not think about Chen Fang's words and thought that Chen Fang wanted to become a warlord.
Xie Jinyuan just felt that if Chen Fang was so powerful, there must be a huge force behind him.
There are not many senior officials named Chen in the government.
The most influential person in the army is the "small committee chairman" Chen Chen. He can be said to be Chang Zhiqing's stand-in, and his subordinates are called "civil engineering department".
The Department of Civil Engineering is the direct line within the direct line. They don't need to come to Sihang Warehouse, and they don't need to recruit Xie Jinyuan.
Besides Chen Chen, there are only Chen Yi and Er Chen.
Chen Yi is a senior figure in the government, with a high status and considerable influence in the military.
As for Er Chen, that is, brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu, they have a great background and control the Central Club.
In the national government, it is known as the "Chang Family Party in the World and Chen Family Party".
Xie Jinyuan felt that Chen Fang's boss must be one of these two factions.
However, no matter which group of people Chen Fang belongs to, following him is definitely an opportunity for Xie Jinyuan in his career.
But Xie Jinyuan looked hesitant.
He was an upright person and never formed cliques. He was really reluctant to let him take refuge in Chen Fang.
Chen Fang looked back at Xie Jinyuan and smiled slightly: "How about I make a bet with you, Xie Tuanfu."
"Bet?" Xie Jinyuan blinked, wondering what medicine Chen Fang was selling in his gourd.
"Yes, it's just a bet. I heard that Xie Tuanfu is good at measuring distances. Can Xie Tuanfu tell me how far it is from here to the Japanese heavy machine gunner in front?"
Chen Fang pointed forward with his finger. Xie Jinyuan looked along Chen Fang's hand and immediately saw a Type 92 heavy machine gun, commonly known as the pheasant neck, which was firing.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun has a low rate of fire, is heavy, and difficult to maneuver, but it excels in accuracy.
The Japs are playing poor imperialism, with a poor logistics system and little ammunition supply. Therefore, this kind of heavy machine gun is very suitable for the Japs.
A Type 92 heavy machine gun is enough to suppress a company of infantry.
Therefore, knocking out the Japanese heavy machine guns is an important task for the Xia army in every battle.
Xie Jinyuan did a simple distance measurement and said to Chen Fang: "I'm afraid it's no less than 600 meters. The target is too small!"
The Japanese heavy machine gunner six hundred meters away was only half the size of a finger.
Why did Chen Fang ask this?
Could it be that he wanted to hit this Japanese heavy machine gunner from such a distance?
impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
How could anyone hit such a distant target with a rifle!
"Then I'll make a bet with you, Xie Tuanfu, on whether I can hit that Japanese heavy machine gunner with one shot. If I can hit it, Xie Tuanfu will be my deputy, how about that?"
Chen Fang threw an olive branch towards Xie Jinyuan.
There were other soldiers around Chen Fang. They were all stunned when they heard Chen Fang's words.
The heavy machine gunner who hit the Japanese with one shot from a distance of 600 meters?
This is much more difficult than Lu Bu Yuanmen shooting a halberd!
Chen Fang, isn't this a joke?
"You are joking, Marshal Chen. How can you hit the target with one shot from a distance of 600 meters?" Xie Jinyuan shook his head. He was not an inexperienced person.
But for accurate shooting at 600 meters, even at Whampoa Military Academy, he had never seen such a good shooter.
"Okay, let's take this as a bet!" Chen Fang said with a smile.
He stretched out his right hand towards the guard beside him: "Gun!"
The guard immediately handed his Mauser 98K to Chen Fang.
Chen Fang opened the scale behind the 98K mechanical sight and raised the muzzle of the gun.
Although the maximum range of 98K is as high as 4,700 meters, this is only a theoretical number and has no practical significance in combat.
The effective range of the 98K is usually only 500 meters without a sight.
The bullet is almost in a straight line within 150 meters, so the accuracy of shooting within 150 meters is often relatively high.
But beyond this number, you need to use a ruler to shoot.
Only by calculating the impact point of the bullet can this precise shooting be completed.
"Bang!"
Just when Xie Jin thought that Chen Fang still needed to aim for a while, Chen Fang suddenly fired.
The bullet flew out of Chen Fang's gun, and the next moment, it just landed on the head of the Japanese heavy machine gunner.
"Ding!"
There was a crisp sound in the distance, and the yellow five-pointed star in the middle of the helmet on the Japanese heavy machine gunner's head was accurately hit by the bullets fired.
For a time, all the soldiers around Chen Fang were in shock, and the scene was silent for a while.
But soon, the soldiers reacted.
"Is this really a marksmanship that a human can perform?"
"I didn't expect that Marshal Chen is not only the marshal of the Chen family, but also has such great marksmanship. I don't think the marshal from the Northeast is worthy of carrying Marshal Chen's shoes!"
"What a handsome marksmanship, this is definitely not something ordinary people can do." Yang Ruifu, who was behind Xie Jinyuan, also looked at Chen Fang in shock.
Not only was he stunned, but the company commanders of the four lone army battalions also had their eyes widened, and their mouths could fit a duck egg in.
They have never seen anyone with such a good marksmanship!
