Yang Zhen, who knew that the shape was severe, did not give the other people much time to recuperate. On the second day after officially entering the secret camp, Yang Zhen took out the training outline based on the military training of the People's Liberation Army in the future that he had worked out when he was trapped in the cave, and began to reorganize the troops.

Yang Zhen knew that no matter from the reserves of materials or the surrounding situation, there would not be much time left for his training. So from the beginning of the training, Yang Zhen put a lot of painstaking effort. The intensity of its training is so intense that even the former soldiers of the national army can't stand it, not to mention those new workers who joined the army.

A five-kilometer before breakfast, including all personnel, whether recruits or veterans, are all concentrated on the most basic queue training after breakfast. And in the afternoon the training of the operation of various weapons was carried out. In particular, he learned from Patten about the operation, dismantling and simple maintenance of Japanese light and heavy machine guns. Even Yang Zhen personally served as an instructor, made wooden artillery models, and taught everyone some simple artillery operations. In particular, the operation of mortars, which can play an important role in mountain operations.

Although now not to mention all kinds of artillery, even the grenadiers are not a single one. But this did not hinder Yang Zhen's determination to form his own artillery in the near future. Now it takes a little more effort to learn, it's better than capturing a cannon and catching it blind, so you can only discard or bury it.

As for after dinner, Yang Zhen didn't let anyone stay. He arranged a course for all the personnel that even Guo Bingxun did not expect, that is, to follow Zhang Ting, who is not only a military doctor with the team, but also temporarily serves as a cultural instructor.

And those who are literate are taught by Professor Kwok Bingxun to recognize maps, basic mapping, tactical command of company and platoon detachments, recognition of flags, and all the knowledge that a basic officer must know. In addition to learning the basic courses of being an officer, these people also had to learn from Peng Dingjie the basic knowledge of political work drafted by Yang Zhen.

Although Guo Bingxun, who was responsible for the training of these people, was a returnee studying at a famous Western military academy, when teaching these people, the syllabus used was mainly copied by Yang Zhen from the military textbooks of the People's Liberation Army in the 60s that he had read when he was studying at the PLA Army Military Academy, and it was just a mixture of some Western military theories that Guo Bingxun had when he was a military academy in France.

It is not that Yang Zhen looks down on Guo Bingxun's level, nor does he look down on the military level of the West at this time. Although the French army's appearance in World War II, which broke out a year later, can be described as clumsy, this cannot be said that the French military schools are also rubbish. On the contrary, as time went by, the more he came into contact with Guo Bingxun, the higher Yang Zhen's evaluation of the teaching level of the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France.

The reason why Yang Zhen insisted on adopting his own teaching plan was only because he felt that under the current situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak, and there is a huge difference in equipment and individual soldiers, the teaching materials of the People's Liberation Army, which rarely occupy the advantage of firepower in combat, are more suitable for the current situation. The equipment and training of their own troops were far from comparable to that of the French Army.

After all, those textbooks are the crystallization of the wisdom of the founding generals of the Republic who fought bloody battles for three years in the face of the disparity in equipment between the most powerful country and the most powerful country in the future on the peninsula that is only a few hundred kilometers away from them now. Although it cannot be said to be the most advanced, it can be said that it is the most suitable for the current situation of its own troops.

In addition to those who were ready to act as grassroots commanders, Guo Bingxun also had to teach telecommunications knowledge to a few people who were selected by Yang Zhen himself to be more clever and the only few people in the team who were equivalent to the level of Chinese in the early later generations.

The busiest person during the day is naturally Yang Zhen, who has to demonstrate the training movements in person, act as a tactical instructor, and check the results of the training. And at night, the busiest person is Guo Bingxun. It is necessary not only to give lessons to future company platoon commanders, but also to teach those selected people the use of radio stations. I also kept calling on the radio repeatedly with a password that I knew that should have been invalidated now, trying to get through to Kannai.

Because the scheduled radio personnel were also to participate in military training during the day, all knowledge could only be taught at night. has to preside over two classes at the same time, which somewhat makes Guo Bingxun, who has always been steady, a little busy.

Fortunately, Yang Zhen was able to take over the teaching of the telecommunications class when he was teaching it. And Patten's political class also dispersed some people. Otherwise, if you don't get it right, the combat effectiveness has not yet been formed, and Guo Bingxun is afraid that he will be exhausted first.

Although the training was intense and hard, it was surprising that no one thought of becoming a deserter. Those veterans who have survived the battlefield know the truth of sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime. They know that the more they learn, the more hope they have of surviving on the battlefield.

For those laborers, although the training intensity is large, for them who have to do at least ten hours of high-intensity labor every day in the Wudaoling Iron Mine of Devils, this training is not a very heavy burden.

And you can eat a full meal here every day, although the food is not very good, but at least you can eat enough, and even meat a lot of the time. Of course, these meats are not pork, beef and mutton, but the game that Yang Zhen found a way to catch.

Although the popularity of firearms in this era was much higher than that of later generations, and they were all standard firearms. Even in the hunting area, there are very few people who use **. As the region with the richest resources, the highest forest vegetation coverage, and the least population density in eastern China, the prosperity of Northeast China at this time is unimaginable elsewhere in Guannai.

Before the September 18 Incident, the standard of living of the people in Northeast China was definitely one of the best in the whole of Asia. Even when compared to Japan, which is the most developed country in Asia, it is generally above it. In order to deal with wild beasts, but also to deal with the bandits in various parts of the Northeast, in addition to years of war, the number of civilian guns in the Northeast, according to the number of per capita possession, is also one of the best in the country.

Major General Amaterasu, who once commanded the encirclement and suppression of the South Manchurian Anti-Japanese Alliance, and was now sent to meet them by Yang Zhen with explosives, once estimated that the number of guns in the northeast was at least about 2.5 million.

This figure cannot be said to be too much for Northeast China, which has a land area of more than one million square kilometers but a population of only 30 million. The guns and ammunition stored by the people in Northeast China used to be an important source of weapons for the Anti-United Nations.

Although the number of civilian guns in the Northeast during this period was the highest in the country, the population density and destruction of forests in this era were far less than those of later generations. In addition, Yang Zhen and his party are in an inaccessible primeval forest area, and the number of wild animals is far from being comparable to the descendants of all kinds of wild animals who were beaten and almost cut off. Coupled with Yang Zhen, a master of survival in the wild, and Liu Laogen, a famous local gunner, Yang Zhen and these people can have game in their stomachs almost every day.

Yang Zhen didn't expect that the young man he met in Liudaohezi who vowed to kill devils for revenge actually had extremely good marksmanship and was a famous gunner in the local area. In addition to military qualities, if you only talk about the ability to survive in the wild, it is not even inferior to Yang Zhen, a special forces soldier who has received many years of professional training in later generations. It is even stronger than Yang Zhen in some specific aspects. Most of the meat that is used as a meat supplement for the body is produced by this person.

In the course of the training of the past two months, the troops have not been tested in actual combat, and it is not known what exactly the troops have been trained. But Yang Zhen and his subordinates ate almost all the wild animals in this Guangcai Ridge.

This undeveloped mountain forest is so rich that the population and number of wild animals in the forest are almost unimaginable for future generations. Even if Yang Zhen knew that some animals were protected objects that were absolutely not allowed to be hunted in the future life. But under the general consumption of the troops, and the urgent need for high-fat and high-calorie food supplements, Yang Zhen couldn't take care of anything.

Not to mention wild boars, sika deer, red deer, roe deer, yellow sheep, pheasants, hares, etc., as well as the famous flying dragons and other wild animals that are still common in this era, and even the Siberian tigers and leopards that are included in the list of protected animals in later generations are already pitiful, and they are absolutely not allowed to be harmed, Yang Zhen has eaten. Anyway, let's put it this way, there are all wild animals in Zhang Guangcailing that can provide a lot of meat, and Yang Zhen has almost eaten them all during this period of training.

Although the training was a little harder, and although the food seemed a little rough, I was still able to eat enough. This life is no different from working as a laborer in an iron mine. What's more, there are no people within dozens of miles around here, and if you want to escape, I'm afraid you'll starve to death or be eaten by wild beasts before you get out of this dense forest. The occasional howls of wolves and the occasional howls of tigers around the camp these days are not all fake.

Coupled with the fact that these people have all eaten tiger meat and leopard meat, they all know that there are not only tigers and leopards that are more ferocious than wolves in this mountainous area, but also quite a few of them. The environment is okay, the days are not hard, and I know that I can't escape from this dense forest alone, so everyone can settle down and train patiently.

During the whole training period, although Yang Zhen either buried himself in training the troops, or hid to the side and didn't know what he was doing, he never relaxed his investigation of the outside world. We are always looking for ways to get information from the outside world.

Although the seized high-power radio station was successfully erected, it was a mute that could only receive and not transmit. I can receive hundreds of telegrams every day, but because I don't have a password, I can't read them like a letter from heaven.

Although the information seized from Shiro Ishii found the communication code between the Japanese Army's Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and some Japanese troops, mainly local gendarmerie, it did not play a big role.

The Japanese army quickly changed the password after discovering that the top-secret information, including the code book, was missing. The password that Yang Zhen seized is no different from waste paper now. In order to be completely isolated from the world, Yang Zhen had to often send people, mainly Huang Dali and Liu Laogen, to go out to reconnoitre.

Even in order to understand the details and trends of the Western Expedition of the Anti-Japanese Union, Yang Zhen personally went to Weihe County and Changting Town. Of course, in order to cover up his identity, Yang Zhen did not go out alone every time. In addition to being closely protected by Li Mingrui, he also took Zhang Ting with him and pretended to be a husband and wife to cover his identity.

Because there is no intelligence base in the outside world, and in order to avoid danger, Yang Zhen can only confess to the two people who went out to reconnoitre, and try to buy newspapers. No matter what newspaper it is, buy a copy. Especially for Japanese newspapers, you have to get your hands on it. If it is dangerous to buy, go to steal and rob.

In order to get the newspaper, Yang Zhen, who took the three major disciplines and eight points of attention of the People's Liberation Army as military discipline on the first day of entering the secret camp, specially approved Huang Dali for violating his own mass discipline. As for what to do, Yang Zhen believes that as long as he lets go of his hands and feet, Huang Dali, as an old scout, will have his own set of methods.

Although the various newspapers run by the puppet Manchurians are also full of lies, most of them are traitors who boast about the goodwill of Japan and Manchuria, and the exploits of friendly forces. But it is much stronger than the fact that there is no unsuccessful meeting, that there is no unbright future, that there is no official who does not love the people, and that the newspaper of later generations is not a small good but a great one, and at least some truths can be found. Yang Zhen got a lot of what he wanted from above.

Of course, military secrets, the transfer of the Japanese puppet army and other things are not to be imagined. However, from the reports on the so-called anti-bandit achievements boasted in the puppet Manchurian newspapers, Yang Zhen can estimate the direction of the anti-gang movement that he is most concerned about now.

One day in mid-August, holding the latest Japanese newspaper that Huang Dali had just brought back from Weihe County, Yang Zhen carefully inquired about what Huang Dali saw in Weihe County. When he heard the heads of anti-Japanese fighters hanging everywhere in Weihe County, Yang Zhen secretly let out a long sigh in his heart.

Yang Zhen knew that the arrival of his little butterfly would change the outcome of some history, and even the direction. But for this kind of change, not only is it good for the whole, but the bad side also appears, which Yang Zhen did not expect.

When Yang Zhen opened the newspaper brought back by Huang Dali, Yang Zhen, who was a little depressed because of the failure of the Second Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, could be said to have failed so far, but his mood was even heavier.

Yang Zhen learned from the reports of the puppet Manchurian newspapers that the 10th Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which had been insisting on fighting alone in the 99 Dingzi Mountains southwest of Wuchang and in the heart of the enemy's rule, had been annihilated at the end of last month ahead of schedule. From the army commander Wang Yachen to the bottom of the battle, all of them were killed, and none of them survived.

In order to show its mighty military power and suppress the Chinese's will to resist, this newspaper clearly explained the process of the collapse of the 10 th Anti-Japanese Army. Combined with his own experience and newspaper reports, Yang Zhen almost didn't use his brain too much, and came to the conclusion that the fall of the Tenth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance was related to himself.

Not to mention that he slipped away under the nose of Yasui Fujiji, he also served the Japanese pioneer group with Liudaohezi, and Yasui Fujiji, who was looking for himself, sprinkled his anger on the anti-alliance western expeditionary forces that had been exposed after the first battle in Loushan Town, and the anti-coalition 10th army that went north from Wuchang to meet the western expeditionary forces of the Second Route Army.

At the end of July, the 10th Army, which set out from Wuchang to meet the 10th Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, failed to join the 2nd Route Army's troops in the west, so it encountered Yasui Fujiji on the Changlin line at the junction of Wuchang and the Pearl River, and was immediately surrounded by heavy troops. After several hard battles, they were never able to break through, and finally ran out of ammunition and food, and the whole army was wiped out.

Yang Zhen was not only affected by the Tenth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but also the troops of the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which were the main force of the Western Expedition. At the end of July, the main force of the Western Expedition of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which was preparing to go west out of the Pearl River, attacked Yimian Po Town and failed to replenish supplies, and was forced to divide the troops into two routes. The main force of the Fifth Army turned back to the east, and the Fourth Army and the first part of the Fifth Army continued to the west.

However, the main force of the Fourth Army, which continued to advance westward, was surrounded by the forces of a brigade of the Japanese army under Yasui Fujiji on the line of Taipingshan in the southwest of Yimian Slope. After several hard battles, most of them were sacrificed, and one was scattered. After learning of the annihilation of the entire 10th Army that had come to meet them, the army headquarters and the remnants of the army were forced to turn southeast after the attempt to retreat north failed.

Although the military headquarters of the Fourth Army and a small number of troops that broke through the encirclement were out of the encirclement, they were trapped by the Japanese puppet army in the Yabuli Mountains southeast of the Weihe River. Although he is still persistent, the situation is becoming more and more difficult under the dragnet of Yasui Toji.

The Fourth Army lost embers, and the Fifth Army, which operated separately from the Fourth Army on Yimian Slope, did not suffer much better. Compared with the Fourth Army, which lost embers in the enemy's bloody battle, the destruction of the Fifth Army was related to the emergence of a large number of traitors of its own.

Soon after the division of troops, he continued to go south to Shulan, but he did not know that the Tenth Army had been completely annihilated, and the Fifth Army, which wanted to enter the Fifth Standing Army in a roundabout way, was surrounded by the Japanese puppet army as soon as he entered the territory of the Fifth Standing Army. At the critical moment, Guan Shufan, the commander of the 1st Division, Gong Xianting, the commander of the 3rd Division, and a main force commander coerced most of the soldiers of the two divisions into defecting.

The remaining troops, under the leadership of the director of the political department of the 2nd Division, rushed east out of the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army at the cost of more than half of the casualties, and retreated into the territory of Emu County.

In addition to the defection of the two main division commanders of the Fifth Army, the greatest threat to the anti-United Nations Western Expeditionary forces was not only the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese puppet army, the hunger and cold of the shortage of food and ammunition, but the defection of the top leader of the anti-United States Western Expeditionary Army at the end of July. This defection, who was also the secretary of the Jidong Provincial Party Committee and the director of the Political Department of the Fifth Army, confessed all the circumstances of the entire Second Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. At this time, the anti-alliance western expeditionary forces can be said to have no secret to protect the Japanese puppet army.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Yang Zhen looked at Zhang Ting, who heard Huang Dali's report, and her eyes were already red from crying, and said, "Zhang Ting, you will go to Weihe County with me tomorrow." There are some things I'm going to scout for myself. ”

"It's not going to work." As soon as Yang Zhen's words fell, the people around him spoke out against it at the same time. Hearing that Yang Zhen was going to Weihe County in person, not only Guo Bingxun resolutely opposed it, but even Peng Dingjie did not agree.

Hearing that several people were opposed to going to Weihe County, Yang Zhen shook his head and raised the newspaper in his hand and said: "The shape is very serious, just from the newspaper, the action of the Anti-Japanese Federation this time has suffered great losses. And we can't get information from the outside world just by relying on newspapers. There are some things that I have to see for myself. ”

"The current situation of the Anti-Japanese Union is very serious, and the newspapers of the puppet Manchurians say that they have captured more than 60 fighters who have run out of ammunition and food along a slope at one time. One part of its western expeditionary force was scattered, most of them were killed in battle, except for a few who mutinied, and the rest were trapped in the Yabuli Mountains. ”

"What is the shape of the Anti-Japanese Federation now, we can only know a few words from the newspapers of the puppet Manchurians that publicize their great military exploits. Whether the real situation of the Anti-Japanese Federation today is true or not as it is said in the newspapers, we must find out. ”

"Whether we can persist in the Northeast for a long time in the future, the survival of the Anti-Japanese Federation plays a key role. Without the containment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it would be difficult for us to compete for a long time with the enemy army, which has an absolute superiority in quantity, quality, and equipment. We absolutely cannot sit idly by while the Anti-Japanese Federation is in danger or even the entire army is annihilated. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked at Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie: "Old Guo, old Peng, maybe our whole training will come to an end for the time being." Lao Guo, you are ready to fight, wait for me to come back. ”
