Chapter 133: A New Beginning

The newly received recruits spent the most refreshing afternoon since entering the barracks yesterday, the canvas tents that sheltered from the wind and rain replaced the old tents and straw houses with loopholes, and the rare meat and oil stars for dinner, these peasant brothers who were still working in the land a few days ago finally had a rare simple smile on their faces.

Maybe it was because yesterday afternoon's days were too good, when Zhang Wei gathered in the morning, these soldiers were not as chaotic as he imagined, especially the batch of supplementary battalion recruits brought by Wen Yong, who had been trained themselves, and actually stood in line in five or six minutes, and those recruits in the division area, let's just call them soldiers, also lined up in the noise, which actually made Zhang Wei a little satisfied. Looking at the hundreds of people in front of him, with dark faces and broad arms, these strong men, thousands of strong men, are the main force that supported the War of Resistance, this is a tragic fact, Zhang Wei can't say it now, as long as another year passes, most of the grassroots soldiers in the country's troops are them. And what he has to do now is to improve their quality as much as possible.

Standing behind him were not only Qiu Wei, but also the new sergeants, as well as the twenty veterans who had been drawn from the independent company, veterans who had been in the military for more than a year and had not held the positions of squad leader and deputy squad leader.

The strong men were also observing Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei and the team of thirty people behind him stood together, looking very murderous, and the sound of the soldiers of the independent company in the distance made the atmosphere even more tense.

"Everyone, I know, how did you come here, you got here, this year, no one is easy, no one is happy, why did you come here to suffer, I am guilty, not only I am guilty, all those who wore this skin on my body before are guilty!"

"What are you doing here, you also know that you are soldiers, why do you want to be soldiers, because there are heavy casualties on the front line, and we can't replenish them, whoever makes us like this is a little devil! What is the little devil, it is the Japanese Kou, Xiao Dongyang, and Qi Shaobao who sang in the play, and it is this group of things that fight. ”

Zhang Wei continued to say one sentence at a time, although most people were still at a loss, but it had already worked, some people began to stop being stunned, and in their minds, they could finally think of something that had nothing to do with eating and drinking, and Zhang Wei didn't plan to let these people train willingly for a while.

"You have no home, and I'm the same, I don't have a father or a mother, you can at least have a hope, if you want to go home, the only way out is to kill the little devil, kill the little devil, survive, and then go home."

No matter where people are, their sense of belonging to home and life is always the greatest, and Zhang Wei has given them little hope, and most of them are only interested in going home. The turnips are finished, and the stick should be given.

"I'm ugly ahead, I don't want to see deserters, you must have seen the end of deserters, if you run for the first time, I won't kill you, if you can run, it's also a skill, but in this outskirts where birds don't, you better think about how you can not be caught by the patrolmen."

Zhang Wei and the recruits, that's all, the next thing is to assign the recruits, the sergeants who came over this time, in addition to the ones who are responsible for teaching the use of machine guns, there are eighteen people, plus twenty veterans from the independent company, a total of thirty-eight people. The recruits from the supplementary battalion already have the basic military qualities and can use rifles and grenades, Zhang Wei and the others repeatedly deliberated and decided that in order to balance the combat effectiveness, the recruits from the supplementary battalion and the division area should be re-scrambled and mixed and divided into classes, and the two groups were all mixed together, unified management, and unified training; when the training was completed, these recruits were still assigned to the company in the mixed division after the formation, that is to say, their comrades-in-arms in the same class after the mixed assignment were also their comrades-in-arms when they fought in the future.

Hundreds of recruits should have been distributed according to the standard squad of twelve, but the squad leader and deputy squad leader should be veterans, so two seats were vacated, and one squad was temporarily set at ten. It was divided into thirty squads, and there were still some people left, most of these people were from the supplementary battalion, and they seemed to be smarter than the others, and they could write a little braille, all of them were transferred by Zhang Wei and stuffed into the sergeant who taught the machine gun, to see if these "usable talents" could be trained as light machine gunners and deputy gun commanders of the heavy machine gun squad.

Among the 38 sergeants, 30 served as squad leaders, and the remaining eight were arranged as eight deputy squad leaders.

According to Zhang Wei's plan, after the training, the independent company was one company, the other two recruit companies were the second and third companies, and there was also a heavy machine gun company. The independent company will be transferred a complete infantry platoon to the second company, and the third company will be all recruit-based platoons, not Zhang Wei's eccentricity, if one platoon of the independent company is drawn to the third company, then the combat effectiveness of the independent company as the main force company will also be greatly reduced, and once something happens, it will be uncontrollable.

After a chaotic disrupted distribution, the originally neat ranks suddenly became colorful, and the soldiers of the supplementary battalion wearing old military uniforms and the recruits of the division in civilian clothes stood together, looking not like an army, but like bandits.

"Ahem, non-commissioned officer, start leading the troops, ready to start training."

"Yes!" The sergeants and veterans lined up in a neat queue and walked into the queue of recruits, and every time they passed by a soldier recruit, one would stop and stand aside with his back hand, thirty squads, thirty-eight trainers.

After leading the troops, except for the eight squads, which were two trainers because of the deputy squad leader, there was only one squad leader in the twenty-two squads, but it was enough to train them.

'The squad leaders took the troops to the center of the playground, lined up for training, a week, and now, officially began. ’

"Let's go, let's go!" "Hurry up, I won't be able to walk in the aisle."

At the urging of the squad leaders, the recruits were taken to the playground and began their real systematic training since entering the preparatory camp.

Hou Shouyong is a recruit from the supplementary battalion, half a year ago, he was still a trader walking between villages and towns, who knew that one day he actually bumped into the army, and then, he was tied to Xiangtan by hemp rope, the businessman's brain is lively, Hou Shouyong has been trying to find a way to run outside, and even the route has been planned, but he doesn't have the courage, seeing the corpses of the deserters who were dragged back, he was stunned.

Then he learned some of the rules of the army, and he learned to shoot. When he saw the dead man, he had half the thought of running away, and now, the chief just now had spoken so much, and it sounded much better than the previous chiefs.

Look at the soldiers in the division area around him, they are even worse than themselves. I know how to use a gun anyway, and I've seen what that grenade looks like, and if I really meet Japanese soldiers in the future, I can fight back a little.

The nature of the vendor always seemed to allow him to find reasons to comfort himself, and slowly, the idea of running away became more and more distant.

"Forget it, let's learn the ability to save your life first."
