Three days later, the spy company embarked on the return journey, when they came, there were more than 400 people and ten donkeys, and when they went back, there were more than 800 people, each with a war horse, Li Yong asked Sun Quanhou to give ten donkeys to the people in the small village where he lived, and left some food for the local people.

The spy company, which bid farewell to the people stationed there, set out from Qingyang County and headed all the way to the northeast, and the soldiers of the spy company on the return journey used horses to walk, and the speed of advance was much faster than when they came, and it took less than three days to return to the big forest they had walked through when they came.

The forest is still the original forest, the road is still the same road, but the mood of the soldiers is much happier than when they came, the troops have not fought when they came, and the vast majority of them are new soldiers, after more than two months of training, the combat skills of the troops have been greatly improved, and the mentality has also changed, from new soldiers to veterans who have experienced the test of war.

Although it is a horse to walk, but in the big forest the horse can not walk, not much faster than walking, when it is dark Li Yong ordered the troops to camp in the big forest in situ, this time the number of people is doubled, the tent is not enough, Li Yong and the instructor Wang Chengde asked the old soldiers to carry forward some style to give the tent to the new comrades.

The veteran soldiers have no opinion at all about the decisions made by the company commander and instructor, and Li Yong and Wang Chengde will do the same if they do not give orders, this is the difference between the ** army and the Kuomintang.

After inspecting the team, Li Yong came to Hu Xiaolian's tent again, and as soon as Hu Xiaolian saw Li Yong, she said: "Villain, you can't come nonsense, there are too many soldiers outside, and there are many soldiers who don't have tents sleeping under the big trees around my tent, if you have any movement, they can hear it." ”

Li Yong smiled and said: "I'm here to inspect the work, who said I'm going to do something bad, is someone always thinking like this?" If you don't let me do anything, you have to be honest and let me hug. ”

Hu Xiaolian had no choice but to let him hug Li Yong's temperament, Li Yong hugged Hu Xiaolian's soft body and whispered: "Xiaolian, do you remember what we did in this big forest when we came?" I haven't forgotten. Hu Xiaolian whispered in Li Yong's arms: "Villain, you are so powerful, so fierce, how can I forget." ”

Li Yong, who stayed in Hu Xiaolian's tent for a while, was also afraid of being laughed at by the soldiers, there was no big move, the tent was not enough, and many soldiers camped under the big trees around Hu Xiaolian's tent, and they all saw Li Yong get into Hu Xiaolian's tent.

Although little Li Yong supported Lao Gao again, he could only put his hand under his clothes and rub it back and forth on Hu Xiaolian's chest, and when he rubbed Hu Xiaolian so much that he hummed with his throat, Li Yong was afraid that he couldn't help but do something to make the soldiers laugh, so he hurriedly got up and walked out and returned to the tent where he and Wang Chengde lived, at this time Li Yuming had already prepared dinner.

The food is good, but Li Yong has no appetite for eating, can he not feel uncomfortable when he is hooked up by Hu Xiaolian and has no place to vent? When they came, the soldiers had tents, and no one could get in the way, and this time half of the soldiers were camping in the open air, and Li Yong really didn't dare to make too many mistakes.

After continuous marching, the spy company finally returned to the place where it came, which is the place where the spy company started and the hometown of the first batch of soldiers who joined the army.

On the evening of his return to the station, Li Yong let instructor Wang Chengde take control of the troops, and he and more than 20 veterans from the establishment of the special service company, that is, the current chief and deputy platoon commanders of each platoon, borrowed a few horse-drawn carriages from the villagers' homes and went to the big cave where the weapons were hidden, transported out some of the weapons, ammunition, and materials seized in Panlong Town, and pulled out all the small cannons and heavy machine guns.

The next morning, Li Yong took some soldiers to load more than 1,000 sets of Kuomintang soldiers' yellow uniforms and pulled them to the column clothing factory, and brought some food to the clothing factory with the car. Is there any benefit? ”

Li Yong greeted Director Liu with a smile: "I have to trouble you, of course there are benefits, you can see it." ”

Director Liu laughed and said: Dayong, I'm joking with you, we are our People's Liberation Army's clothing factory, and we have to do it if there is no benefit, of course, we also want it if there is a benefit.

The efficiency of the quilt factory is very fast, and it doesn't take much effort to color the clothes, and it takes a few days to dye more than 1,000 sets of clothes all gray, and seeing that the soldiers have changed into the gray military uniforms of their own army, Li Yong's heart feels much better.

Since returning to the old station, the training of the special service company has returned to the previous level, and every morning it is still 6,000 meters that cannot be shaken by thunder, and even Hu Xiaolian has to participate, even Hu Xiaolian, the only advantage is that she can not bear weights, and other soldiers have to carry out weight-bearing training.

At this time, it can be seen that the ability is different, the soldiers of the old Eighth Route Army are fully armed and run six kilometers like no one, and the captured soldiers are not good, and at the beginning, they also carried the same weapons and equipment as the old soldiers, but they were a little out of breath before they were halfway through the run, and they couldn't keep up with the speed of the old soldiers.

These captured soldiers were not convinced, they all wanted to compete with the old soldiers, gritted their teeth and insisted, they really couldn't throw away their backpacks and run, and then they put down their weapons and ran, and then they couldn't run away with their empty hands and fully armed old soldiers, these soldiers admired in their hearts, and they said that it was no wonder that they couldn't catch up with the old ones who fought with the Eighth Route before, and now they finally know the ability of the Eighth Route Army to run, and now they are also Eight Roads, and they have to learn this ability well.

If you want to talk about the ability to run away, no army in the world can beat the Eighth Route Army, which is also the ability of the old Eighth Route Army.

After more than half a month of ideological education and intensive training, the soldiers of the recruit platoon have made new improvements in their thinking and technology.

On this morning, the soldiers of the special service company were very excited, because the company commander said that the whole company would be reorganized, and the more than 200 people of the recruit platoon would be integrated into various combat platoons, and some new weapons, ammunition, and equipment would be replaced.

A troop of more than 800 people, brand-new gray uniforms, and high-spirited soldiers, looking at the neatly standing soldiers, Li Yong, announced:

The 15 infantry platoons were expanded from 4 squads per platoon, with a total of 14 men per squad to 20 men per squad, including the platoon commander and deputy platoon commander, making a total of 82 people.

Each squad was armed with four Czech light machine guns, two Type 38 rifles, and 14 submachine guns. Each squad is equipped with two Type 38 rifles because although the Type 38 has a slow rate of fire and can only hold five rounds in the magazine, it is very accurate and can be used as a long-range sniper rifle without a replacement for firearms.

The second heavy machine gun platoon was expanded from the original 50 to 82 people, with a total of four squads, each squad of 20 people was equipped with three Makqin heavy machine guns, the whole platoon was equipped with a total of 12 Makqin heavy machine guns, and the surplus six Type 92 heavy machine guns were temporarily mothballed.

In addition to the fact that the main equipment was mortars, the staffing was the same as that of the machine-gun platoon, which was eighty-two people and twelve mortars.

The three replatoons were expanded from 60 to 81 people, and the replatoon never had a deputy platoon commander, so it was one less than other platoons, all the weapons were submachine guns, and more than 100 war horses were equipped, and all the ammunition and materials of the special service company were transported by mules and horses.

The fourth reconnaissance platoon was expanded from the original 40 to 82 people, and the weapons were all submachine guns and a small number of shell guns; Li Yong's plan was that the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon should each have a submachine gun and a shell gun, but this could not be done for the time being, and the number of shell guns captured was too small.

The number of the five cooking squad was expanded from the original 30 to 40, and no one was equipped with weapons except for three squad leaders, who were equipped with three shell guns.

The number of members of the health team remains unchanged at 22, and the number of police officers has been expanded from 10 to 20.

The total strength of the reorganized spy company has reached an unprecedented 825 people, not to mention the largest number of troops at the company level or at the battalion level in the entire Northwest Field Army, and the old second regiment to which Li Yong belongs has only more than 1,300 people, not counting the special service company, and this is also because the old second regiment is the main force of the whole column, and there are slightly more personnel, and some regiments are not as many as the old second regiment.
