The arrival of 300 supplementary soldiers made Tang Cheng overjoyed, and early the next morning, he took Hou San and a few of them to drive to the temporary camp of the supplementary soldiers to pick people.300 Among the supplementary soldiers, only 50 of them were brought by Huang Hanju from Kunming, and the other 250 people were all from Lambga, and some of them were veterans of the national army and new recruits who had recently joined the army, but these people all had the same characteristics, that is, they were basically literate, and many of them had gone to school like Tang Cheng.

For the time being, the instructors of the U.S. Army under Mike were in charge of these reinforcements, and they came too early in Tangcheng, just in time for the instructors to take the reinforcements out for morning exercises. "Grandma's, these guys look much neater than ours, unlike us, who are like herding sheep when they run and don't have a formation." The dice on the jeep craned their necks to watch the running reinforcements from afar, and the others, who were laughed at as running like sheep, were holding the dice with their feet.

The three jeeps that appeared outside the supplementary battalion were too conspicuous, and it was impossible for the reinforcements who were running with the instructors to see them or not, especially the dice that Hou San threw down the jeep and was scolding and chirping, which attracted the attention of many reinforcements. "Fifth brother, what do you say those people are doing? Are you here to pick up troops? The recruits in the queue whispered, and the recruits who were friendly with each other whispered about the Tang City who appeared here.

"Don't speak, speed up and run, fast, fast." The arrogant U.S. instructors began to yell loudly, allowing the reinforcements who were still idle to continue to pick up the pace. Before these reinforcements were taken over by Tang Cheng, Mike specially arranged for more than a dozen US military instructors to train these reinforcements, but it was only to train their physical fitness, and as for the rest of the training content, Tang Cheng had to arrange and complete it himself.

Tang Cheng in the jeep did not interrupt the morning practice of the US military instructors, but just sat in the jeep and watched silently, waiting for the morning training within the specified time to end, and then Tang Cheng got out of the car and handed over to the instructor captain who was temporarily in charge of these supplementary troops. "Don, I want to remind you that there are many veterans among these reinforcements, these people are not easy to discipline, you must be careful, I and my men have already suffered such losses." The instructor captain who had completed the handover kindly reminded Tang Cheng, and then left with a roaring farewell from his subordinates.

Originally, Tang Cheng hadn't taken the other party's kind reminder seriously, but seeing the relieved look on the other party's face and the hurry when he left, Tang Cheng suddenly felt that the other party's last reminder didn't seem to be without reason. "Third brother, tell them to assemble." Glancing at the chaotic replenishment soldiers outside from a distance, Tang Cheng's face calmed down and asked Hou San to order the gathering of those supplementary soldiers, he was going to touch the bottom of these supplementary soldiers to see if these supplementary soldiers could be used.

The supplementary soldiers were still saving face, and they quickly stood up in line with the orders of Hou San and the others, although they didn't look too neat, but at least according to Tang Cheng's order, every hundred people were divided into a team. Tang Cheng, who was standing facing the supplementary soldiers, ignored the others, and first asked Liu Shishi to take the roster and separate the 50 people brought by Huang Hanju from Kunming. These 50 people are all veterans carefully selected by Huang Hanju from various detention stations in Kunming, and these 50 people are not from the same army, Tang Cheng thinks that such people are the easiest to place.

"You are all brought by Director Huang from Kunming, and you are all people who have been living in various shelters before, I think Director Huang must have told you something along the way." Tang Cheng looked up at the 50 veterans who had been separated separately, and said in a deep voice, "This is Ledo, a small town on the border between Burma and India, you want to go through a few months of rigorous training here, and then follow the large army to counterattack the Japanese army in Burma, I am Tang Cheng, and I will be your commander." ”

The veterans were in an uproar, no one thought that they would have a commander who didn't look like they had grown up, they originally thought that Tang Cheng was a clerk or an adjutant in the army or something. "You heard me right, I said that I will be your commander in the future. Don't be surprised, my military age is not much less than the best of you, you are all from Kunming, you should know about the Dabanqiao Shelter. There was nothing there, but I built the Dabanqiao Shelter with a dozen of my brothers, so you should know about me. ”

These veterans brought by Huang Hanju from Kunming are all soldiers who are mixed in various detention stations, how can they not know that the Dabanqiao Detention Station, among all the shelters in Kunming, the conditions of the Dabanqiao Reception Station are the best, and their wounded soldiers even have medicine to use, unlike the wounded soldiers in other shelters who can only figure out their own way. Seeing that these 50 veterans no longer questioned their words, Tang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, veterans have the advantages of veterans, but such soldiers are also the most difficult to face in the whole training of the army.

arranged for Tan Fei to take Liu Shishi to register the 50 veterans who had been assigned separately to register their arms and specialties, and Tang Cheng shifted his attention to the remaining supplementary soldiers who had been waiting for a long time. "You're all from Lambgarh, and I've heard that many of you have fought in battles and are skilled in battle. I'm not the same person as the captain, I only believe what I see with my own eyes, as long as I don't see it, no matter who says it, I won't believe it. ”

The supplementary soldiers obviously didn't understand what Tang Cheng meant by this, and before any of them could open their mouths to ask, Tang Cheng, who was facing the combat strength of the supplementary soldiers, had already raised his arm. "It's very simple, I need soldiers to have a minimum of physique, and if you don't even have the physique to march with ammunition on your back, then you have to go back there from where you came. Fighting a war is a very dangerous thing, and I can't let one of you drag down the lives of the other brothers, because the Japanese soldiers in the woods of Burma are not as simple as you think. ”

Tang Cheng didn't choose the soldiers first, he just ordered these reinforcements to run around the temporary camp with stones on their backs, and Hou San and the others, who were in charge of supervising the replenishments, drove the recruits in jeeps and kept driving these reinforcements. The twig with the thickness of the little finger is not very painful on the body, but if the twig is whipped in front of other people, no one's face will look good, so these supplementary soldiers with stones on their backs were chased by Hou San and the others very wolf, very much like the feeling of herding sheep as the dice said.

Tang Cheng didn't have time to pay attention to these things, he was looking through the registration form of these supplementary soldiers, what the supplementary soldiers were called and where they came from, Tang Cheng was not interested in these, but what he was concerned about was the military age of these supplementary soldiers and the original class of troops to which they belonged. There is no shortage of infantry in Tangcheng who dare to fight the Japanese army face to face, and those who have been led by him to cross the river several times to clear the Japanese army can already be regarded as elite infantry, and what he lacks most now are machine gunners, gunners and ambulances.

Looking through the information of the 300 supplementary soldiers, there are only a few people who meet Tang Cheng's requirements, and there are not a few people who can read and break words, but there are only three who can speak English like Tang Cheng. The walkie-talkie is a good thing, and it is not difficult to learn how to operate it, but in the joint force formed by Mike, the other detachment is all US military, and the connection between the two detachments will inevitably involve language problems, Tang Cheng did not expect those American big noses to speak Chinese, so he can only expect the three English-speaking supplementary soldiers to reach the level he expects.

The supplementary soldiers who were forced to run laps had already run a distance of about 5 kilometers, and the 300 people who were originally quite neat had been divided into several small groups due to the consumption of the body, and the 50 veterans brought by Huang Hanju ran in third place without hurrying or slow, and the formation of their 50 people had not dispersed. After running a few laps, the situation of the supplementary soldiers at this time was already very obvious, and the last few groups of supplementary soldiers looked like they were no longer in the body, at this time they were simply supporting each other and rubbing forward step by step, but the 50 veterans from Kunming had already run in the first position, and the formation was still as neat as when they started.

"The more than 100 people who ran in front are veterans of the war, and those who are behind are all new recruits who have just joined the army and been sent to Ramgarh, but these people are tough enough to give up on their own initiative." Waiting for all the reinforcements to run a distance of 10 kilometers, Hou San whispered to Tang Cheng for a while. 10 kilometers is not a long way, but it is definitely a test of body and will for the reinforcements who carry more than a dozen kilograms of stones, Tang Cheng didn't expect those recruits to be able to run down completely.

The whistle blew to stop, and the exhausted reinforcements lay down in twos and threes, and Hou San and the others, who were still waving their little finger-thick branches to chase them just now, hurriedly ran over, "Get up, get up, you can't lie down now, first take off your backpack and walk slowly for a while, and you can stop and rest when you are panting." Hou San and the others almost punched and kicked the reinforcements who were already lying down, and then continued to force them to walk slowly with tree branches.

A rapid march of 10 kilometers with a weight of more than 15 kilograms was the basic standard for Tang Cheng to train Tan Fei at the beginning, if these supplementary soldiers knew that the defeated soldiers under Tang Cheng were now carrying 20 kilograms three times a day and marching 15 kilometers in a hurry, I don't know if they would immediately make a fuss about returning to Lamgar. "Let's do it first, from now on, add a kilogram of weight and a kilometer of distance every three days, and conduct a physical assessment after half a month."

The body of these 300 supplementary soldiers can basically be said, but Tang Cheng can't see any joy on his face, and he handed over the matter of training the supplementary soldier body to Hou San to be responsible, Tang Cheng took Tan Fei and Liu Shi and drove away, and the supplies distributed to these supplementary soldiers were still at the train station, and he was going to get them back.
