With soldiers, the next thing is to train them, in front of Xinding, the majestic Niu Wazi didn't catch up with this good thing, Xie Bo handed over the training of Xinding to Liu Goat, and Liu Goat brought Tang Cheng, Nianzi and a veteran of the second company named Cheng Jiafu. "15 people in a class, these guys are exactly three shifts, and the extra 5 will be handed over to Niu Wazi to take to the town to serve as a guard, and by the way, you can also find out some news." Liu Goat's arrangement made Tang Cheng dumbfounded.

"No, no, I can't be this squad leader, there are so many veterans in the company, you can find any one stronger than me, I can't." Tang Cheng, who knew that he could eat a few bowls of dry rice, couldn't help shaking his head, he had already heard the meaning of Liu Goat's words, this was to promote himself to be the squad leader. But he is only 19 years old, and he has only been wearing the military uniform of the second company for a few days, not to mention that he is only a senior soldier, and he has never heard that a senior soldier can be a squad leader.

"What?" Liu Goat glared, "Lao Tzu is not good at speaking, there are only a dozen of the more than 30 people in our second company who can still fight with guns, and among these dozen or so, only the three of you have killed the most little devils." The second company has always only looked at military merits and not age, and those who can retire alive are all good, you kid don't think the squad leader is counted, right? That's good, then I'll give you this platoon commander of Lao Tzu. "The newcomers are honestly practicing team exercises in the open space more than ten meters away, and Liu Goat is not afraid of being heard by them when he talks here.

"But I'm just a novice who has been wearing a military uniform for a few days, so what can I teach them?" Lowering his head and muttering, Tang Cheng kicked the pebbles on the ground with his feet, looking extremely depressed. The army is a place to eat with skills, this is what Xie Bo said to Tang Cheng on the road, but Tang Cheng thought about it carefully, except for being able to speak and write Japanese, English and shooting, it seems that he has nothing that can be regarded as ability, as if his marksmanship is not very good. With this ability, he still wants to teach those new students, Tang Cheng himself needs someone to teach, and he asked himself if he is qualified to be the class leader.

"I said that you kid is a tendon," Liu Goat scolded angrily, "What do you think the squad leader is?" Is it a babysitter? The squad leader is to carry the guarantee of those brothers to live, and to live with the brothers in your class, your squad leader is considered qualified. "It's the first time Tang Cheng has heard that the squad leader is doing this, didn't the newspapers and radio say that the military is the cornerstone of defending the country? Why did it change its taste when it got to Liu Goat's mouth?

Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't seem to understand what he was saying, Liu Goat had to patiently explain slowly, "This war is fought by people, and it is relieving to fight with the little devil with a gun, but if our national army is exhausted, who will fight the little devil?" If you should fight, you should withdraw, and you can leave Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, do you say this is the reason? As long as we are still shooting, there is a chance to fight the little devils, right? ”

Tang Cheng was completely confused by Liu Goat, but fortunately, with Liu Goat's help, Xinding's training on the first day was barely supported, but looking at Tang Cheng's appearance, it seemed that he was even more tired than those Xinding. "Do you do that? I think this kid will die sooner or later than you. Looking at Tang Cheng, who was lighting the lamp and boiling oil and looking through Xie Bo's Huangpu infantry textbooks, Liu Goat, who was gossiping with Xie Bo, was somewhat unbearable. After Tang Cheng found the weapon in the basement of the dilapidated building, Liu Goat's impression of Tang Cheng was quietly changing, not to mention that he himself admitted that Tang Cheng learned things very quickly, and he was indeed a natural war material.

"The knife is not sharpened or fast, and the jade is not sharpened, where is this, I think when I was in Huangpu, it was much more bitter than this." Xie Bo, who looked much better, spoke much more clearly, and after joining the 88th Division, it might be the day he left the Second Company, and he wanted to teach Tang Cheng all his skills as much as possible before leaving. "Tang Cheng's qualifications are very good, as long as he goes through a few more battles, he may not be worse than us, maybe this kid is better than the two of us."

"I hope so" Liu Goat lit a cigarette and handed it to Xie Bo, the number of refugees coming from the direction of Shanghai has suddenly increased in the past few days, although the Niu Wazi who guarded the entrance of the town has not found any signs of a large army withdrawing, but sporadic routs have appeared, and if it continues like this, the war in Shanghai may be another defeat. More than ten years of military career has already made Liu Goat's heart like a stone, even if he takes off the military uniform, he will not starve to death, but he is reluctant to let these brothers who survive from the battlefield, and he is reluctant to be in the second company.

"Don't think about it so much, we are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey orders. After eating this dinner, this life is not our own, and it is already a great advantage for us to live until this time, and we are much luckier than those brothers who died on the battlefield. Xie Bo looked down at his broken arm with some self-deprecation, fortunately it was only his left arm, otherwise it would be a big trouble for him to even do daily things.

"Also, we are much luckier than Elder Zhang and Xu Hu, at least we have meat to eat and drink now." Taking a hard puff of his cigarette, Liu Goat raised his head and sighed, there was already damp heat in his eyes, but he would never allow that damp heat to flow out of his eyes. The elder Zhang and Xu Hu are both veterans of the Second Company, and they have the best relationship with Liu Goat, especially Xu Hu, if he hadn't blocked the gun for Liu Goat when he retreated, I am afraid that Liu Goat would have been lying in the rubble pile in Shanghai and stinking and rotting.

Moved his body to change his posture and leaned against the head of the bed, Xu pulled the wound on his body, Xie Bo grinned a little and inhaled the cool air, "Is there a war, there are immortals there, but it is a matter of dying early and dying late, maybe the Japanese will quietly touch this Qiandeng Town, and we all have to die here." Then don't you see Xu Hu and a few of them again? Xie Bo's words made Liu Goat's sad heart instantly turn into anger, and he rolled his eyes angrily to Xie Bo, and Liu Goat walked out of the room quickly and went straight to the kitchen.

"I didn't say anything, did I? Why are you so angry? Looking at Liu Goat who was leaving quickly, Xie Bo smiled a little heartlessly, in fact, he had just seen the moisture in Liu Goat's eyes, but Liu Goat cherished his face, and Xie Bo was not easy to expose in person. Liu Goat may not be able to command the war, but he is a guy who knows how to save his life on the battlefield, if it weren't for Liu Goat, at least half of the remaining people in the Second Company would have died, and even Xie Bo himself would have to fold on the battlefield.

Xie Bo also knew the shortcomings of Liu Goat, so he tried his best to leave Tang Cheng, no one was born to lead troops to fight, Xie Bo didn't expect Tang Cheng to happen in the future, he only hoped that Tang Cheng could help Liu Goat maintain the Second Company, at least let the brothers of the Second Company live longer and better. Tang Cheng is a smart man, he just doesn't know what he can do and what he wants to do, Xie Bo believes that as long as Tang Cheng is given the opportunity and conditions to perform, this 19-year-old boy will definitely become a qualified soldier, and even go farther and higher than himself.

It was also Xie Bo's idea to arrange Tang Cheng to lead a class of Xinding, it was better to do it a thousand times than to actually do it again, Xie Bo had taught Tang Cheng so many things on the road, and if there was no opportunity to practice, it would be all in vain on paper. Being the squad leader may be a good opportunity, Tang Cheng can teach and train those newcomers while learning by himself, Xie Bo doesn't expect Tang Cheng to train those dozen newcomers into anything, he only hopes that Tang Cheng can learn from it. Tang Cheng is a freshly baked knife, and those new Ding are whetstones, Xie Bo hopes that those whetstones can sharpen Tang Cheng's knife.

"How? Training recruits is interesting, right? If you don't understand anything, just ask Liu Goat, he has a lot of goods in his stomach, just pour a little to you, it's enough for you to be happy. Someone called Tang Cheng, and Xie Bo, who was crooked on the bed, chatted with Tang Cheng. Compared with Liu Goat taking Tang Cheng out of the church a few days ago, the current Tang Cheng is just changing into a military uniform of the national army, and the whole person is no different from before, the only thing that may have changed is Tang Cheng's eyes, Xie Bo saw something familiar in Tang Cheng's eyes.

"It's okay, I just feel tired, the training of those two classes is quite normal, but I'm a lot slower here, and those newcomers can't even walk neatly now." Tang Cheng was a little embarrassed to mention the training progress in his class, just for this, Niu Wazi had been teasing him for an afternoon.

"Recruit training is like this, you can't rush, you can only take it slowly." Knowing that Tang Cheng could smoke, Xie Bo smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes and threw them to Tang Cheng, "Those people are illiterate without reading, and they will naturally be slow to learn these, but now is wartime, don't train those foot drills, just teach them to shoot." Once the Japanese army comes, they don't look at our foot drills, but how accurate they are to shoot guns, and those textbooks I gave you have these things, and then you can train them after studying them carefully, as long as you can survive a few battles with the Japanese army, there are some things that you don't teach, and they can learn them themselves. ”

Xie Bo's mention of shooting accuracy made Tang Cheng a little restless, his marksmanship was already very poor, and he was still going to train those newcomers, and he didn't know what those guys would laugh at at at that time. "Niu Wazi said that they saw sporadic stragglers coming from the direction of Shanghai today, do you know about this?" Facing Xie Bo's question, Tang Cheng nodded subconsciously, but he didn't realize what it had to do with him.

"There are only 5 people in Niu Wazi, which is a bit less, so I plan to start tomorrow and send a class of people to the town to help guard the town every day, the town is very suitable for training, you can help Niu Wazi check those past refugees and stragglers while training."

From leaving Xie Bo's room to having dinner, Tang Cheng was still dizzy, he only remembered what Xie Bo said after the last, "Tomorrow, your squad will go to Zhenkou to help investigate, remember, you are now a squad leader of our 88th Division, don't fall into the face of our 88th Division." ”
