Chapter 5 Training
"Summing up, now I announce our company's training plan, get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning, fully armed for six kilometers of cross-country, the road I and the company commander have already looked at it, start dinner at half past seven, train in line at eight o'clock, start individual technical training at ten o'clock, lunch at twelve o'clock, start individual technical training at one o'clock in the afternoon, conduct strength training at three o'clock, end at five o'clock, dinner at six o'clock, and study at seven o'clock, do you understand?"
Everyone said in unison: "Understood" and then disbanded, and when everyone went out, Li Yong shouted again: "Li Jiangguo, you take the alarm clock, let's even have this one baby at present, blow the whistle at 5.50 tomorrow morning, and set off at 6 o'clock." Li Jiangguo agreed and went out with the alarm clock, and after the comrades left, Li Yong and Wang Chengde also began to undress and sleep. Nothing to say for a night, At 5.50 the next morning, Li Jiangguo blew the assembly whistle on time, Li Yong and his comrades gathered, at 6 o'clock, everyone ran out of the small courtyard of the spy company on time, and when they ran out of about two kilometers, the gap was seen, more than 20 veterans carried backpacks and weapons and ammunition very easily, but Li Yong was not good, Li Yong was the only one in the company who did not have weapons and ammunition, and the weight on his body was much lighter than others, but in this way, Li Yong's legs were getting heavier and heavier like being filled with lead, Li Yong gritted his teeth and encouraged himself to persevere, and finally finished running 6 kilometers and came back, Li Yong was sweating, and he couldn't breathe, Looking at the soldiers who seem to be nothing, they admire it from the bottom of their hearts, these old Eighth Route are really powerful, running six kilometers with full equipment is like nothing, no wonder the Kuomintang is not an opponent in sports warfare, I haven't heard of any troops who can run past the Eighth Route Army?
I must do my best to train my body, or I will suffer a loss in the future, everyone looked at Li Yong's wolf bรจi and smiled, and a soldier said: "Company commander, this time I know how powerful our Eighth Route Army is, if you want to talk about running away, I don't know who is better than our Eighth Route Army." Li Yong said loudly: "Don't worry, comrades, I will train hard not to hold you back, and after a while, I will run as fast as you." โ
After eating, the queue training started on time at 8 o'clock, and some veterans began to get bored after practicing for more than ten minutes, none of these veterans had engaged in queue training, and they did not understand the training queue, and a soldier said to Li Yong: "Company commander, does this platoon walk help in the war?" Li Yong saw that everyone didn't understand, so he immediately stopped, and then told everyone the meaning of the exercise queue, and finally said: "Comrades, we are soldiers, not ordinary people, any army must conduct queue training, everyone knows the Huangpu Military Academy, this is the best military school in our country, there are many big leaders in our People's Liberation Army from this military school, Vice Chairman Zhou used to be the director of the political department of this school, this military school attaches great importance to queue training, Queue training can cultivate the indomitable spirit of soldiers and the will to fight in unity and cooperation, do you understand? โ
As soon as the soldiers heard that Vice Chairman Zhou also attached importance to queue training, and what else did we have to say, they immediately replied: "I heard" After the two-hour queue training, they immediately carried out individual soldier technical training, Li Yong found that these soldiers were really not simple, the guns were sharp and ruthless, the grenades were far and accurate, and the bayonets were also ruthless, and most of them knew how to do some kung fu, and after thinking about it carefully, they would understand that these soldiers were all old eight-way people who had been fighting with little devils for many years, and if they didn't have some real skills, they wouldn't be able to live now, Their weakness is blasting and earthwork, and Li Yong has worked this, focusing on training.
The soldiers are very strange, including the instructor Wang Chengde, who is also very strange, how can this company commander seem to understand everything, and there are a lot of books in our team, but the company commander knows that so many people have never seen it, and this company commander seems to understand everything. Strange is strange, but everyone admires Li Yong more and more, and even Li Jiangguo has to admit that Li Yong does have two hits, and there is really something in his stomach.
At lunchtime, Li Yong said to Wang Chengde: "Instructor, there is something to discuss with you, you see that we can't even keep such a few people, we have too few people, we have to find a way to expand the team." Instructor Wang Chengde smiled lightly and said: "Company commander, don't worry, expanding the team is a good thing, but it is not easy, the northwest is sparsely populated, the population is sparse, and the long-term war has been going on, there are fewer people, our Red Army has only improved after arriving here, but the population is still growing slowly, and some of the villagers here have joined our team, so there are not many young and middle-aged people in the vicinity." โ
Li Yong immediately said: "I also took this into account, we can't always put the idea nearby, we can go to a farther place, anyway, now we don't even have a combat mission, our cooking class now has 4 people, I want to send someone from the cooking class to recruit soldiers in various places nearby, the candidate I see Lao Sun is very suitable, he can also write, let him write more slogans along the way, in addition to he has a task, we even have such a large amount of training, the soldiers can't always eat pickles, let Lao Sun ask more about where to hunt along the way, Where there are many wild beasts, in the future, we will properly organize troops to hunt, and also improve the conditions, and from tomorrow morning, our cross-country training will pass through several nearby villages, so that the villagers will know that there is a force of ours. โ
Wang Chengde immediately said: "Okay, company commander, these are all very good ways to do it, just do it, let me add, let's set up a big sign outside the company headquarters and write "Conscription Office" on it. After the two agreed on the same opinion, they continued to train in the afternoon, and after dinner, everyone came to the company to study, and today Li Yong told the soldiers about why we were able to achieve the final victory? Why was it possible to defeat the Kuomintang with strong weapons and equipment? What are the advantages of our ** PLA?
Li Yong started with the founding of our party, talked about the 1 August Nanchang Uprising, the failure of the First Great Revolution, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the people's army from scratch and from weak to strong, and now our total strength has grown to 1.2 million, and talked about the recent battles fought by our army in the northwest battlefield.
The soldiers, including the instructor Wang Chengde, were shocked again, and their eyes were straight again, is this still our company commander? Even if they have studied, they know too much, these people are all veteran soldiers, and the instructors, instructors, including the political commissar in the old army did not talk so much, how can this company commander understand the history of the party and the military so well? He is not even a party member, and none of us party members know as much as the company commander, who is not a party member.
Li Yong looked at the expressions of the soldiers and thought to himself, what is this, what I know is, I just can't tell you, up to now, there are 26 people in the spy company, and there are 25 party members, that is to say, except for the company commander Li Yong, these old soldiers who have been killed in blood and fire are all party members. Although the company commander Li Yong is not a party member, but because there is only such a non-party masses, he is still the company commander of the company, so he attended the meeting, and the branch elected a branch secretary, that is, the instructor Wang Chengde, and the branch committee has Li Jiangguo, Ma Changsheng, Ma Quanyou, Wang Laohu, Ning Jinshan, Sun Quanhou and other 6 people, these people are either platoon commanders or deputy platoon commanders in the old army, and they are also members of the branch of the old company.
After the branch meeting, Li Yong told everyone a story about the Red Army, and since then, the spy company has developed a habit, that is, the company commander tells a story about the Red Army after the political study, until the unit was expanded to the battalion, and this habit has not changed when it arrives at the brigade.
The next morning, the elder of the cooking squad Lao Sun went on the road early in the morning, and even the big sign of the recruiting office outside the department was hung out, and the soldiers continued to train as before, so that 7 days passed, Lao Sun came back, and there were young men who signed up for the army, Li Yong trained every day like the soldiers, and the amount of training was greater than that of the soldiers, after these days of training, Li Yong was already able to keep up with his empty body during cross-country training, and his strength was greater than before, and he felt that the progress was obvious, In this way, half a month has passed, and there is no need for Li Yong to say anything, even Li Jiangguo said that the combat effectiveness of the troops has improved by a large part.
Now the difference is that the weapons and equipment and personnel are too small, Li Yong has arranged a soldier and a cook to hunt in the distance every day for half a month, basically the troops can see the meat every day, and the oil and water in the stomachs of the soldiers have also saved a lot of food, but the problem is also here, the regiment commander Zhao Jin only gave Li Yong three months, and now half a month has passed, and the training of the troops is okay, but the recruitment work is not ideal, only more than 30 people have come in this half month, which is much less than the personnel in Li Yong's plan, That night, while studying in politics, Li Yong and instructor Wang Chengde announced a task, the specific content of which was that the troops should be expanded, but the time was very tight, so tomorrow morning the 20 veterans of the special service company should all set off to recruit troops in a farther place, either by themselves or in partnership with two or three people, but each person must recruit back at least five soldiers, limited to half a month, and must come back after half a month, and more than 30 new soldiers will continue to be trained by the company commander and instructors.
After listening to Li Yong and Wang Chengde's announcement of the order, everyone was very calm, Li Yong felt very strange, this task is not easy to complete, why are everyone so calm? After asking, I learned that such a task was not surprising, and I had done it in the old army before. Li Yong was overjoyed after hearing this, great, if everyone has experience, then the certainty of completing the task will be greater, the next morning the old soldiers all set off, before leaving Li Yong explained another thing, there is not much food in the company, and when you come back, you have to bring as much food back as possible, Li Yong and Wang Chengde led more than 30 new soldiers to continue training.
At noon that day, a young man suddenly broke in, and shouted to find the comrade in charge, Li Yong saw that he was a good young man, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: I am the company commander of this company, fellow, do you have anything to do? I saw this young man say: My name is Li Yuming, are you recruiting troops here? Why don't I sign up? How about looking at this body? When Li Yong heard this, he hurriedly said: Don't worry, fellow, it's a good thing to want to be a soldier, but the army has conditions.
