Chapter 131: Recruits, New Battalion

The sun rises, the morning water vapor rises in mid-air, and the sunlight shines on everyone's face through the crystal water droplets. Fastest updates

"Can these people fight, it is estimated that they will disperse when they meet the Japanese."

"Moreover, you still said that people, weren't you also this virtue when you first came" Without paying attention to the whispered discussion of the soldiers of the independent company, Zhang Wei looked at the hundreds of people standing in front of him, to be precise, hundreds of his subordinates, recruits.

It is clear that more than 100 of them are wearing new military uniforms, wearing cloth hats on their heads, only the military emblem on the hat is shining in the sunlight, and the formation is still neat, and some people are still holding rifles in their hands, which are made in Hanyang, counting, on average, about five or six people have a gun. Behind them, there was a contingent of nearly two hundred men, and there was silence in the ranks, not because of the discipline, but because they wanted to say but did not have the courage to speak, these people, who were either in tattered military uniforms or the clothes of the common people, had no hats, and only a few wore hats on their heads that they had not had time to drop when they were caught.

All were barefoot. Among these newcomers, there were also more than two dozen sergeants wearing steel helmets and armed with Zhongzheng rifles or shell guns, who were the sergeants who escorted these recruits, and who were also Zhang Wei's future subordinates, and these people were given to Zhang Wei in one go. There were ten people in it who were familiar with the use of light and heavy machine guns, and the rest came with the recruits. Zhang Wei put his hands behind his back, his face was expressionless, the three platoon commanders stood behind him, Zhang Wei nodded at the opposite side, and a simple handover ceremony that could not be simpler began. The sergeants stood in a row, and the two led by the two walked out, trotted forward, and stood five meters away from Zhang Wei and saluted.

"Report to the battalion commander, the sergeant of the supplementary battalion was ordered to lead the supplementary company and platoon after platoon to report on the return, the whole team has a total of 162 people, and asked to enter the battalion."

"Report to the battalion commander, 257 recruits from the Xiangbei Division District, ordered to be brought!" Zhang Wei returned the salute. "Allowed to enter the camp, the current arrangement is for the soldiers to enter the tent to rest, after which all the newly arrived sergeants and Qiu Wei, Hao Zhong, He Kun all came over for a meeting.

"When the recruits came, the original camp was definitely not enough to live, and in the morning, along with the recruits, there were several cooking classes that had been assigned to Zhang Wei's camp for a long time, as well as a large number of vegetables and coarse grains, as well as the newly arrived Datongpu tents and some small tents. From now on, I'm going to open fire.

"Independence even has all, go back to your tent." With a burst of command and supervision, the sergeants finally arranged the recruits into the tent, which is also the place where they will live in the future, and the sergeants used their guns and feet to give the soldiers a rare rest. As for Zhang Wei's independent company, it had already returned to the tent in an orderly manner.

The front of the slightly crowded camp was once again spacious, and more than 20 sergeants returned to the assembly place one after another, and Zhang Wei and three platoon commanders were waiting for them in place.

More than 20 sergeants arrived, and looked at Zhang Wei with a brush, they all listened to the instructions from above before they came, and knew that this new commander was not easy to mess with, and he had seen blood, so he didn't have the heart to stab, and he could bully and bully the junior officer who had just gotten out of the army, and he ran into this master, and then looked at the three platoon commanders behind him, none of them were easy to get along with.

The thorns in these sergeants naturally have no such and such thoughts, and besides, this time they are assigned to the combat unit, which is not an opportunity for promotion.

"Since the big guy is here, he is a brother, I won't introduce myself, I guess you all know me, the three behind me, Qiu Wei, the deputy company commander of the independent company is also the first platoon commander, He Kun is the second platoon leader, and Hao Zhong is the third platoon leader, all of them are out.

Zhang Wei pointed at the three of them, and the sergeants hurriedly saluted, and Qiu Wei and the three of them immediately returned the salute. You brought the recruits, so please tell us about the recruits. ”

A small sergeant stepped out first, carrying an armed belt consisting of a shell gun and at least ten magazines at his waist.

"Report to the commander, Sergeant Wen Yong of the Divisional Supplementary Battalion reported to the Commander that the recruits of the Divisional Supplementary Battalion had a total of one company and one platoon, and together with the ten sergeants of the Supplementary Battalion who had been drawn, there were a total of 172 people. This group of soldiers joined the battalion at the beginning of this year, and they have been training for five months, and they have been taught the basic formation, gun manipulation, and shooting, and they are using old Hanyang, Zhongzheng Jingui, and they are afraid that they will be ruined, and they have only been taught a little bit in construction and tactics. ”

"Good!" The basic military qualities are that this group of soldiers is a semi-finished product, and tactics and construction need to be taught, while shooting and organization need to be further strengthened.

After Wen Yong entered the ranks, another sergeant with a rifle on his back stepped forward and said in a thick northern accent: "Report to the commander, there are 257 new recruits in the Xiangbei Division, all of whom are new strong men, and there is no drill. ”

In just one sentence, Zhang Wei wanted to cry without tears, and there were 300 people, all of whom were recruits, and they could practice now.

"Ahem, let's get in the ranks, that's good." After ten sergeants in charge of teaching the use of Su equipment reported to Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei gathered all the sergeants and Qiu Wei together, and dozens of people sat on the ground around Zhang Wei.

"I also know the situation, let's discuss how to train, and if you have any opinions and ideas, you can put them forward and speak freely."

Zhang Wei started first: "The people brought by Wen Yong have been trained as recruits, and they are much better, but if they want to be pulled up to fight with the Japanese, I'm afraid it will not work, and the soldiers from the Xiangbei Division have not been trained at all, so everyone's level seems to be about the same at present." ”

"These people have just entered the camp, and they are not only eating and sleeping every day, but they also deserted a few days ago." Sergeant Zhao, who was in charge of the recruits in the Xiangbei Division, shook his head. "There are all deserters, don't talk about these newcomers of your Lao Zhao.

On the side of our supplementary battalion, there were more than 80 deserters last month, and seven or eight really told him to run away, and our battalion commander killed more than a dozen in a fit of rage, and only then did he suppress them. Wen Yong said with a wry smile.

Desertion is indeed a big problem, Zhang Wei has thought of it a long time ago, do you expect those captured peasant brothers to listen to you honestly and train with you? I'm afraid it's not daydreaming.

"The problem of deserters, let me talk about it first, when we train, try not to do it, you think about it, they were all arrested, and I was already aggrieved, and I wanted to run away even more after you finished fighting, so try to preach in the future training, if you really can't come to me, I, Zhang Wei, am not even afraid of devils, and I am afraid of this little thing?"

Wen Yong said yes again and again, but he muttered in his heart, this scale is not easy to grasp. Zhang Wei turned the conversation back to training.

"Now time is pressing, I have made a training plan before, our two groups of recruits, the quality is uneven, but the training subjects and progress must be all unified, the strong are stronger, and the weak ones must become stronger, I have roughly calculated, our 20 or so sergeants can just be the squad leader of these recruits, and I will transfer some veterans from the independent company to help, and two people train a recruit class, which is much stronger than the previous swarm of practice."
