Chapter 710: Return to the Army
The Nanchang front line was already dark, and the Chinese officers and soldiers of several armies and the 11th Army under the command of Okamura Ninji fought bloodily, and from time to time news from the battlefield reached Nanyue Town.
Yang Ling's trainees of the first Nanyue guerrilla cadre training class also trained even harder, hoping to end their study and training as soon as possible and return to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Yang Ling's 74th Army also left Changsha and went to Nanchang to fight, and repeatedly fought with the 101st Division of the Devil in Gao'an, sixty miles away from Nanchang.
Although Yang Ling wanted to return to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend the country with his brothers, although these students asked for war several times, they were all rejected.
Fortunately, each period of the guerrilla cadre training course lasts three months, and the class starts in February, so that they will be able to graduate and return to the unit in early May.
The training was boring and boring, and the officers were still in high spirits at first, but in the end they were so tired that they went back to the dormitory every day and fell asleep.
"I heard we're going to have a final confrontation drill in a few days?"
As the graduation time approached, these officers became active again, and Zhao Wenbin searched around for news.
"Damn, it's finally over, I don't want to stay here for a moment." Wang Huzi lay on the bed, not wanting to move.
At the beginning, it was fine, but as the intensity of training and learning increased, Wang Huzi and they were also complaining.
"What kind of drill method is a confrontation exercise?" The blacksmith asked weakly.
Zhao Wenbin said with a smile: "I heard that it is assumed that one team is the enemy, and the other team is carrying out a search and arrest operation in the mountains, and the two sides carry out a confrontation drill, and the results of the drill will be counted as the final results." β
"As long as it's not an exam paper, Lao Tzu sees that those papers are big." Wang Huzi didn't care.
Sure enough, within two days, the instructors issued a notice for everyone to prepare for the final confrontation exercise, which took place in Nanyue Mountain, near the training class.
The trainees of the training class were bent on returning to the battlefield to fight devils, and they had long wanted to graduate, so they all became excited.
The final confrontation exercise was held as scheduled, and more than 1,000 trainees went deep into the mountains of Nanyue in full gear to launch guerrilla combat confrontations.
After all, they have been studying for three months, so they are also racking their brains to show some results to the instructors.
During the two-day and two-night exercise and confrontation, the cadets fought all the way to Linxiang Pass, at the junction of Nanyue Mountain and Xiangtan, before they collected their troops and returned to school.
The good performance of the students was unanimously recognized by the instructors and the school officials, and the students were allowed to complete the course.
"I hope that you will keep in mind the duty of soldiers to protect their homes and defend the country, and whether you are on the frontal battlefield or in the theater behind enemy lines, you must carry forward the spirit of daring to sacrifice and not being afraid of a strong enemy, and fight bravely to defend the great rivers and mountains of China!"
At the meeting on 15 May to present the certificates of completion, General Li Mo'an, the director of education, gave an impassioned speech to Yang Ling and the students of the first batch.
"Heroic resistance! Swear to die and not be a slave to the country! The students also shouted slogans in unison, expressing their determination to fight to the end.
After the certificate of completion was issued, Yang Ling and the others were concerned about the war on the front line, and they packed their bags and prepared to return to their respective units.
"I'm going to apply for the war zone behind enemy lines in Dabie Mountain after I go back, what about you?"
Hearing Zhao Wenbin's words, Yang Ling was also surprised: "Aren't you going back to the gendarmerie unit?" β
Zhao Wenbin said with a smile: "As a soldier, the battlefield is our best destination, watching the little devils burn and loot, how can I stand idly by." β
"Are you going back to your original unit, or are you also applying to go to a war zone behind enemy lines?"
Yang Ling replied: "For the time being, go back to the original army first, wait for the arrangement, I estimate that I should also go behind enemy lines." β
Zhao Wenbin laughed: "That's a good feeling, remember to contact me when the time comes, let's take care of each other behind enemy lines and fight side by side." β
"Definitely." Yang Ling also agreed.
"Alright, take care, I'll go first." Zhao Wenbin waved his hand to say goodbye to Yang Ling and them.
"Take careβ"
The trainees came from different theaters and units, but during the three months of learning and getting along, they could be regarded as forming friendships.
"Brother Yang, let's go, go back to the territory of our troops, and let us do our best to be a landlord."
"Let's talk about it, let's get together for a drink when the time comes."
"Then it's settled."
The trainees of the same team couldn't wait to pack their bags and return to the troops, and hugged goodbye when they left.
After graduating from the guerrilla cadre training class, these enthusiastic Chinese soldiers will go to various battlefields, and most of them will go deep behind enemy lines and lead their troops in arduous battles against the Japanese puppet army.
It is precisely because of so many soldiers who are not afraid of hardships and sacrifices that the Chinese nation has been able to survive the many disasters and hardships.
"Tuanza, let's go too."
After three months of study, the blacksmith and Wang Huzi, the two officers who climbed up from the big soldiers, can be regarded as learning a lot, and they have greatly improved in all aspects.
Seeing that the students had returned to their respective units one after another, Yang Ling and the others did not delay too much, bid farewell to the instructors, went through the handover procedures, got into the car, and returned to their own troops.
Although Yang Ling and the three of them hurried all the way, when they returned to the army, the Battle of Nanchang had already come to an end, so they didn't have the opportunity to fight the little devils.
However, in the battle of Nanchang of the 74th Army, the little devils fought fiercely in Gao'an, near Nanchang, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers were also very large.
After learning that Liu Yidao was injured, Yang Ling and the others hurried to the hospital to visit.
Seeing Yang Ling and them coming back, Liu Yidao and their brothers who were injured and hospitalized surrounded them happily.
"Tuanza, you're back, the brothers can finally follow you and continue to fight devils." The scarred brothers rejoiced as if they had found their hearts.
"The big guy's injuries are fine." Seeing these brothers wrapped in bandages and gauze, Yang Ling was also distressed.
"Haha, it's okay, it's just a small injury, you see I can run and jump." Qin Shou was happy when he saw Yang Ling, and he was about to get up from the hospital bed as he spoke.
"Lie down and don't move, if you don't take care of yourself like this, your leg will be useless."
Seeing that Qin Shou was about to stand up, a female medical soldier hurriedly came over with a black face and pushed him back to the bed.
In the reproach of the female medical guard, Qin Shou obediently lay down again, and when he saw that Qin Shou, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was actually subdued by a female medical guard, everyone burst into laughter.
"Listen to the doctor, take care of your injuries." Yang Ling was also relieved to see that the brothers were only injured and had no worries about their lives, and carefully admonished them.
After leaving the hospital, Yang Ling did not return to the regiment, but went to the division to report to the division commander, after all, after studying for three months, he had to report on the study situation.
