“Begin!”
With Su Yang’s order, workers in various positions began to work according to their procedures.
To ensure that smokeless gunpowder could be produced without any flaws, Su Yang didn't dare to slack off for a moment.
After all, the production of smokeless gunpowder had cost him and his comrades a lot of time, money, and resources.
Most importantly, it was the trust of his comrades.
At the same time, it would also play an important role in our army.
As long as it succeeds, then we can fully promote production, and then we can significantly improve the firepower of our army.
..
On the other side.
The command post of the 772nd Regiment.
After this period of investigation, the information about Su Yang was all understood.
This was indeed a new recruit, and he was not a spy infiltrated from the enemy.
Upon learning this, Colonel Cheng was overjoyed.
After all, such a talent was rare.
Moreover, Li Yunlong had somehow obtained information and was already eyeing Su Yang, which made him anxious, worried that he would be snatched away by Li Yunlong.
"Since there is no problem, I think we can promote Comrade Su Yang to be a company commander. What do you think?"
The political commissar pondered for a moment and said: "Old Chen, although Comrade Su Yang has shown excellent performance, he has only been in the army for a short time. Wouldn't it be a bit hasty to directly promote him to a company-level position?"
"After all, we are a regular regiment, not a unit established by our own army."
"If it were a regiment established by our own army, even promoting him to battalion commander would not be impossible, but our regiment is different."
"You should understand..."
For the first time, Colonel Cheng felt bound by the rules of the regular regiment.
He really liked Su Yang.
"The length of time in the army doesn't matter. This is a rare talent. We should handle exceptional matters exceptionally when it comes to talent."
"Even if he can't be a company commander, a deputy is fine!"
"Get him into the regiment first. Time will prove that my decision is correct."
Seeing that Colonel Cheng was still insistent, the political commissar said again: "Alright, since you insist, I respect your decision."
"I will arrange for someone to negotiate."
"But..."
"I got the news that the division commander, for some reason, has moved the county detachment and the county committee to the Black Dragon Mountain Range for development."
"Perhaps Su Yang has already received the division commander's approval, or some kind of promise."
"Comrade Su Yang may not be willing to come to our 772nd Regiment."
Colonel Cheng was slightly taken aback.
Even the division commander recognized Su Yang?
This... instantly reminded him of the time when Zhang Liang went to the division commander and met him alone.
Could it be that the report then made the division commander pay attention to Su Yang?
This would indirectly prove Su Yang's ability.
Thinking about this.
Colonel Cheng wished he could personally go invite him to show his sincerity.
However, the current situation was not optimistic. As the commander of the regiment, he could only stay at the command post and direct the troops.
"The commander of the 1st Battalion, Chen Feng, supported them last time. Let him go invite him."
"You arrange for other matters. I will go and instruct Chen Feng."
The political commissar looked at Colonel Cheng who was in a hurry, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. He didn't expect Colonel Cheng to value Su Yang so much.
The 1st Battalion Camp.
As Chen Ping’an led the battalion soldiers to practice bayonet fighting, they achieved some success. During the exchange with other battalions, they stood out.
Therefore, when Colonel Cheng arrived at the 1st Battalion base, he happened to see this exchange.
This also made him curious.
However, he had more important things to do at the moment, so he didn't think too much about it.
He immediately instructed Chen Feng to go to the Black Dragon Mountain Range to invite Su Yang.
Chen Feng was puzzled when he was asked to invite a local armed battalion commander and directly promote him to deputy company commander, or even a company commander position.
He was confused.
However, when he learned that the Colonel originally wanted to go in person but couldn't leave due to other matters, and had no choice but to let him go,
Chen Feng felt the Colonel's high regard for Su Yang.
Although he didn't understand, the Colonel had repeatedly emphasized it, so he dared not take this task lightly.
"Yes!"
"I will go after the exchange is over."
Colonel Cheng nodded: "Okay, hurry up and go. Don't let the people of the New 1st Regiment get ahead of you."
The New 1st Regiment was also trying to recruit Su Yang?
This made Chen Feng even more curious.
After bidding farewell to Colonel Cheng, Chen Feng directly went to find Chen Ping’an to understand Su Yang's situation.
After all, Chen Ping’an had the most contact with Su Yang’s company.
However,
Before Chen Ping’an could start explaining, he was interrupted by a burst of cheers.
They saw the soldiers of the 1st Company winning again.
This made Chen Feng curious.
If it was once or twice, it would be fine, but he noticed that in this exchange, almost 80% of the 1st Company soldiers won.
At this time, Chen Ping’an said with a smile: "Battalion Commander, do you know why the 1st Company has repeatedly defeated the other two companies in this exchange?"
"Especially in terms of close-combat bayonet fighting."
"Don't play coy. Tell me quickly!" Chen Feng asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Chen Ping’an said proudly: "Because of Su Yang!"
This completely baffled Chen Feng.
Before he could ask, Chen Ping’an took out the ‘Bayonet Fighting Manual’ from his pocket.
"This is the manual I got from Comrade Su Yang."
Chen Feng took it and examined it.
Manual?
Bayonet fighting?
At this time, Chen Ping’an briefly explained what happened.
