Chapter 356: Rare Leisure

After the company-level tactical exercise, the first phase of Zhang Wei's planned teaching brigade has come to an end, and the training of the infantry squadron, heavy firepower squadron, and engineer platoon has been completed.

In view of the imminent arrival of the cadets, Zhang Wei will no longer conduct battalion-level combat and tactical training, and will wait until the training of this batch of cadets is completed, and then take his time, and the company-platoon tactics will cooperate with the corresponding training of the cadets.

At the end of this stage of training, not only the soldiers were tired, but Zhang Wei himself was also very tired, so he decided to take a three-day break, and the whole brigade stopped training for three days to rest and recuperate.

It is said that it is rest and recuperation, but in fact, there is no training and no exercises, and the range of activities of the soldiers is limited to the camp, and the backward supplementary army system is destined to make it impossible for the soldiers to move freely.

Although Zhang Wei is very confident in the soldiers under him, he also believes that even in the current state, if the soldiers are released to move freely, three or four out of ten of those who are caught in will have the intention of escaping.

It's rare to be free, Zhang Wei also plans to relax and wait for the cadets to come in a few days, I'm afraid there will be no chance to rest.

Zhang Wei planned to go to the city, and Zhang Wei went with He Kun, the leader of the heavy platoon, and Li Shaoyan, the leader of the heavy fire squadron, but the three squadron leaders did not follow.

There can be no officers in the barracks, and if Zhang Wei, the leader of the teaching brigade, is not there, the squadron leader below has to stay, and if there is an urgent task, he can still react, so that he will not be leaderless.

Entering the city, he took the carriage of the baggage platoon, and He Kun took the two squads of the baggage platoon on the road together, and everyone was wearing military uniforms without civilian clothes.

The new 22nd Division was stationed near Xiangtan, and Zhang Wei and his men entered the city, naturally Xiangtan City, and they had also entered the city before, reselling equipment, and buying livestock and meat to complete the transaction in Changsha.

This time into Xiangtan City, whether it is the scale, or the degree of liveliness, Xiangtan is worse than Changsha, and although there are many people along the road, most of them are refugees, fleeing with their families.

Zhang Wei sat in the carriage, and the speed of their two carriages was also reduced due to the crowd.

At the speed of the turtle crawling, it took nearly two hours for Zhang Wei and his party to rush to the outside of Xiangtan City.

The scene near the city gate is also completely different from before, the biggest change is that there is an army, a large number of troops, and heavy machine guns are set up near the city gate.

Checkpoints were set up so that all refugees and people without legal identification were not allowed to enter the city.

The people and carriages entering the city have to line up to take turns to check, if Zhang Wei doesn't understand what happened, he will be in vain in the past two years.

It is clear that the clouds of war are looming over Hunan.

The new 11th Army was stationed in Hunan, and the new 22nd Division was stationed near Xiangtan, and Hunan had recently established the Ninth Theater, and since the beginning of the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army had the intention of directly taking Hunan and capturing Changsha.

Zhang Wei relied on the memory of later generations, of course, he knew that the land under his feet was inevitably a military disaster, but it seemed that it would not fall for a while, he vaguely remembered that the Ninth War Zone seemed to have won the battle, and it took a few years to throw away the chassis?

"Next!" Zhang Wei was pulled away from his thoughts by a rough shout, and the shouting also had an accent that sounded a bit like Cantonese, a dialect of the Guangdong region.

"Captain, it's our turn."

He Kun said that the people's carriage in front of him had been released, and the next two carriages under Zhang Wei were followed.

"Let's go." Zhang Wei got out of the horse-drawn cart, walked forward slowly, and came to the gate of the city.

"He Kun, show them the papers."

Zhang Wei asked He Kun to take out his military ID, and at the same time looked at the soldiers who were inspecting, and looked at the surrounding arming situation.

The troops placed at the door to check about the strength of a platoon, there are two light machine guns mounted on sandbags, one is a Czech light machine gun, the other is a Swiss-made Cheerari light machine gun, the barrel is sleeved, the magazine is inserted below, compared with the Czech type, it is more shabby.

The soldiers were wearing coarse cloth uniforms, some cloth shoes on their feet, some straw sandals, the rifles in their hands were medium-formal, and there were no steel helmets on their heads.

When investigating the people, these soldiers were arrogant and very bullish, and some of them were not honest in their hands and feet, and petty theft was always engaged.

Judging from these details, these people are definitely regular field troops, a platoon has two light machine guns, and the equipment level is definitely not weak, and the rifle is a 79 Zhongzheng rifle, and the overall equipment level is in the middle and upper class in the national army.

The soldiers were not strictly disciplined and managed, and they were even fishing for oil and water at the door, and Zhang Wei estimated that they were non-main forces of the Central Army or local troops pro-center.

"Here, here's the ID." He Kun handed the documents to the officers who were investigating, and after reading the documents, the officers did not dare to slack off, and immediately let Zhang Wei go.

Zhang Wei estimated that this platoon commander was also a well-informed person, and when he saw the number on He Kun's certificate, he knew that he was the main force of the Central Army, so he honestly let him go.

Zhang Weilin glanced at the checkpoint as he walked through it, and the badge of the checking officer read "4A59D." ”

Co-authored by soldiers of the 59th Division of the Fourth Army.

After entering the city, Zhang Wei took these dozen subordinates to eat and drink first, and it was true that the teaching team ate well, but it was time to change the taste.

I ate the river fresh food of Hunan, plus a variety of side dishes, and ate a round belly after a meal.

Full of wine and food, of course they can't just leave, Zhang Wei and He Kun came in with two horse-drawn carts, they must have pulled things.

The teaching brigade has been training hard recently, and the soldiers are resting, but they can't get out of the camp, so Zhang Wei plans to buy something to reward the soldiers.

He Kun brought a lot of oceans out just to buy things.

In life, eating and drinking, and rewarding the brothers, is nothing more than eating and drinking.

Zhang Wei asked He Kun and Li Shaoyan to divide the two ends, He Kun found a roast chicken, bought all the roast chickens in it, and could get three chickens in one class.

Zhang Wei and Li Shaoyan pulled another horse-drawn cart to buy some fresh vegetables, which are now very cheap, and they can buy a lot of them for very little money.

In addition, eight boxes of local shochu were moved.

Li Shaoyan felt that buying food was nothing, and muttered when he bought wine, and told Zhang Wei that he was afraid that it would not affect well.

Zhang Wei comforted him a few words, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, others can't control the teaching team, and the soju he bought is not a strong drink, the amount is not large, and it would be good if each of the soldiers could drink a bowl.

Although the teaching brigade is forbidden to drink, this time it is an exception

On average, it is the amount of a bowl, taste it, treat the soldiers, there is no need to be so rigid, a bowl of wine can't do anything, the soldiers have such a large amount of training, and there are no entertainment activities, this time there is a special event.

Zhang Wei, the captain of the brigade, didn't care, and Li Shaoyan had no opinion, and two big trucks, loaded with fresh vegetables, soju and roast chicken, returned to the station of the teaching brigade.
