Chapter 17: The Great War Comes

In August and September, it was the height of summer in North China, and under the scorching flames, the training ground at the head of Zhengcun Village was unbearably hot, but Qiao Youhua's training of the recruits was not interrupted.

As the saying goes, if you sweat more during training, you may be able to shed less blood and sacrifice less during war.

Xu Yu'er, this little girl, also joined the training, since Xu Jinshan's sacrifice, she has changed a lot, she takes the initiative to participate in the training of the Dragon Tooth Task Force every day, and she gritted her teeth to participate in the training subjects of all the male soldiers, and her expression was very unexpected by Qiao Youhua.

Near noon, the women in the village helped make lunch and deliver it, Qiao Youhua announced that the training was suspended and the meal was dismissed, and the task force members immediately cheered.

Because a large number of military supplies have been captured, the food of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force is now very drooling.

Eating meat and white flour for three meals a day was unthinkable in this war era when supplies were extremely scarce.

So although the training was hard, the players didn't complain much, because the food could keep up, and their bodies were getting stronger and stronger.

And as the captain, Qiao Youhua did not engage in any special development, but ate and lived with them, sharing weal and woe, which invisibly shortened the distance between them, cultivated Qiao Youhua's prestige in the eyes of the soldiers, and made them more and more supportive of him.

Qiao Youhua knows that these dozens of soldiers will be the backbone of his future survival and development, and getting their sincere support is equivalent to the support of thousands of recruits in the future.

Only after that, will he be able to command his subordinates like an arm and be handy, and will be able to fight with the Japanese invading army, which has an advantage in weaponry, equipment, personnel, training, and logistics.

As a traverser, Qiao Youhua must of course gradually cultivate his personal prestige and charisma, because he knows how important this is for an army.

Taking out the previous eating speed in the army, Qiao Youhua took the lead in solving the lunch, and came to Ma Biao and Wu Ming, and saw that they were drumming the two captured grenadiers, and the lunch was still aside.

"Why don't you skip lunch?" Qiao Youhua asked.

"Head, we're working on the grenadier of the little devil, not to mention, with the level of craftsmanship of this era, the grenadier made by the little devil is really good." Ma Biao looked up and said with a smile.

Qiao Youhua squatted down and said: "Of course, in this era, the Japanese are stealing art from Europe and the United States, and they are already in the absolute first place in Asia and the top three in the world in terms of military science and technology." Even an aircraft carrier can be built, let alone a grenadier. ”

Qiao Youhua picked up a grenadier and said: "I remember reading the historical materials of the Anti-Japanese War before, and I often found records about this kind of weapon, our personnel called them small steel cannons, as a support firepower at the squad and platoon level, our resistance troops can have enough of his suffering,

The grenadiers of the little devils played the grenadiers with the grenadiers, which was really top-notch. ”

"No matter how first-class it is, it's not enough for a sniper to take it down with one shot." Jiang Haidong also came over after lunch.

"But on the battlefield, we can't train too many snipers in a hurry, because we don't have sniper rifles." Qiao Youhua paused and said to Jiang Haidong: "However, Haidong, sharpshooters can still be cultivated, you have to use snacks to train more recruits who shoot well, and when you go to the battlefield, you can play an unexpected role." ”

"Don't worry, head, as long as the bullet tube is enough, I will definitely be able to give you a batch of super-first-class shooters in the training department." Jiang Haidong patted his chest and swore an oath.

"But, Boss, when will we get decent uniforms for the recruits, the brethren have complained many times." Wu Ming said.

"Military uniforms are really a headache, tell the brothers, I will try my best to find a way." Qiao Youhua said and fell into deep thought.

"Captain, captain!" At this moment, Zhang Yunshan's slightly hurried voice came.

Qiao Youhua and the four of them stood up one after another, turned around to look, and saw Zhang Yunshan and the other two recruits who were in charge of standing guard and guarding a puppet army wearing yellow skins walking over.

"What's going on with Yunshan?" Qiao Youhua walked over and asked.

"Captain, today I should lead the team to stand guard and patrol, and found that the two two devils secretly appeared near their village as if they were exploring something, so they took the two cows and the big cow to chase, but only one was caught, and the other one ran fast and didn't catch it!"

As he spoke, Zhang Yunshan pushed the thief-eyed second devil forward and kicked him in the crook of his leg, and the second devil knelt down in front of Qiao Youhua and them as soon as his legs were weak.

"Tell me, did the devil send you?" Qiao Youhua asked coldly with a solemn face.

"Yes, it's the ...... sent by the imperial army" Before the puppet army could finish his words, he was kicked by Zhang Yunshan on the back again: "It's a devil!" Look at the appearance of your dog traitor, it is really a shame for the Chinese, and you are used to being a dog for Japanese devils, right? ”

"Yes, yes, it's the devil, the devil sent us, the emperor a few days ago... The devils have been attacked one after another, and they have suffered heavy losses, and they want to take revenge, so they have sent our brothers out to search for your whereabouts! The puppet army looked at the members of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force who had already surrounded them, and knew in their hearts that most of those things were done by them a few days ago, and even secretly said that they had poured blood mold and fell into their hands.

Qiao Youhua frowned when he heard this, and continued to ask, "Have the devils in the county increased their troops?" ”

"There are more troops, and last night another team came, numbering about one or two hundred, and now they have taken over the city defense that we were responsible for before." The puppet army hurriedly replied, and after speaking, he kowtowed and said: "Boss, the little one has an old mother, and a wife and children below......"

Before the puppet army finished speaking, he was kicked out by Qiao Youhua, you are embarrassed to take out this kind of old-fashioned line, Qiao Youhua, as a super soldier king, kicked out with a power that is not comparable to a recruit like Zhang Yunshan.

The puppet soldier was kicked out several meters, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.

"This kind of scum is the most hateful, since you know that you have a wife and children, why should a good Chinese soldier be inappropriate and run to be a traitor and lackey for the little devil? On weekdays, the scourge of his compatriots is more cruel and shameless than the devil, which can be described as extremely hateful.

Take today, for example, if it weren't for them being the lackeys of the devils and reporting our news to the devils, the devils would not be able to find us for a while. Qiao Youhua patted his feet and said to Zhang Yunshan: "Pull those two devils down and kill them, and you will be executed by Yunshan and give you courage." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Yunshan suddenly agreed, took two soldiers to set up the two devils and left.

Jiang Haidong's face was a little solemn and said: "Dragon King, the devil will soon know our whereabouts, it seems that we have to prepare quickly, otherwise when the devil comes, the people around here will suffer." ”

Qiao Youhua nodded thoughtfully: "Immediately inform Village Chief Xu to organize all the villagers to move to the back mountain, you cancel the training, and lead the soldiers to cover and assist the people in transferring." "At the end of the two sorghum fields south of Zhengcun is the remnants of the Taihang Mountains, where the mountains are high and densely forested, enough to hide tens of thousands of people.

This is also one of the reasons why Qiao Youhua chose this place as a base for future development from the beginning, if he wins, he will fight, if he can't win, it's a big deal to go into the mountains and fight guerrilla warfare and jungle warfare with little devils.

Jiang Haidong and the others took their own orders to go, and when the war came, the entire Zheng Village immediately became busy.
