Lin Yuan asked, "What do you mean by this?" What makes you want to stay away from them. ”

Chen Fei said: "I don't think I should hold a position in this army, I should go behind the enemy. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and smiled: "Just like you are in Panjin?" ”

Chen Fei shook his head solemnly and said: "No, when I was in Panjin, I led people to develop the militia behind the enemy, but now, I want to infiltrate the enemy's rear as a sniper, operate on the enemy's lines of communication, and hit them unconsciously. Lin Yuan said hesitantly: "You are the only one, is it too dangerous to go deep behind enemy lines?" ”

Chen Fei said with a smile: "There should be no problem, I will strike at the enemy's vital parts, you look at these villages and towns on the periphery of Shenyang, there are Japanese troops stationed here, I will sneak into the past, and focus on the communication lines between Shenyang and these villages and towns!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "These places are all plain areas, there are not a lot of mountains to hide, and it's winter, and there is no green gauze tent on the Northeast Plain to cover, so you are not afraid of danger?" The so-called "green yarn tent" is that when corn, sorghum and other crops grow up, the stems and large leaves of more than one person will block people's vision, and the area of these crops stretches for more than ten square kilometers, just like a green tent.

Chen Fei said with a smile: "The era is my biggest cover, the infantry of this era rarely shoots at a distance of four hundred meters, and similarly, they will not imagine that someone can accurately hit the target at a distance of four hundred meters, or even eight hundred meters, eight hundred meters, this is exactly the distance I like, so they would never have thought that there is an enemy hidden eight hundred meters away." ”

Lin Yuan said: "What you said is reasonable, when we finish the formation of the first brigade, you will go to perform this task, we will now talk about the issue of personnel selection, I have roughly looked at the information of the people you have recruited, among these people, there are not a few who have gone to school, and there are not even a few who are literate, in this era, artillery is already a high-tech and technical service, so I think, first of all, those who have gone to school and know how to read will be singled out and put in the artillery battalion." ”

Chen Fei scratched his head and said with a smile: "I can't understand those traditional Chinese characters either." ”

Lin Yuan continued: "These are the factors of intelligence, and then we consider the factors of physical strength, in our era, we have to go through a series of complicated physical examinations before conscription, but now, we have no conditions to do that, and we don't have the time to do that, so we need to have a simple standard in the selection of these people." ”

Chen Fei said: "When it comes to physical fitness, it is a very complex project, and there are many projects in it, in terms of muscle strength and endurance, I think we should take endurance as the most important factor to grasp, this era lacks mechanized and motorized transportation equipment, and many times the victory or defeat of the battle depends on who can run." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Although endurance can be improved through training, we don't have so much time to train, so I plan to use a three-kilometer run as a selection criterion." ”

Chen Fei said: "I'm afraid this is difficult to do, for our recruits, the passing standard of 3,000 meters is 13 minutes and 40 seconds, according to a group of 14 minutes, we have more than 4,000 people in advance, a group of up to 40 people, and more will not be able to remember the circle, so calculated, even if it is a sleepless test, it will take ten days!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "This is what you haven't figured out, we don't necessarily have to run laps on the playground, I plan to do so, set the passing standard at twelve and a half minutes, and then find a very wide mountain road, this is not difficult to do, measure out three thousand meters on it, so that we can run hundreds of people at a time, and we don't need to record the time separately for each of them, just record who passes." ”

Chen Fei said: "In this way, it seems that the selection can be completed in about two days, and after the selection, we will have to train, by the way, should we set up a party branch in the company, just like the reorganization of Sanwan." Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, the Qing court will definitely not tolerate this, let's talk about training, I think that the top priority of training is to make them know how to fight, and the training of queues and the like should be reduced to a minimum." ”

Chen Fei said: "I am in charge of training, you can rest assured." ”

Lin Yuan said: "When the selection is completed, gather them, and I will give them a simple mobilization." ”

After applying Lin Yuan's method, they quickly selected the people who needed it, and at Lin Yuan's insistence, they specially held an army building ceremony, which is not just a formality, through these forms, it can better stimulate people's inner sense of honor.

The newly formed first brigade, in the end, there are 2,576 people, according to the current size, these people can stand down on a football field, in order to be able to hear Lin Yuan speak clearly, this group of people is still relatively dense, they are all wearing snow camouflage designed by Lin Yuan, it looks like a strange snow field from a distance, what Lin Yuan didn't expect is that there are actually many ordinary people around. Lin Yuan looked at the crowd of people and thought, "This is really a godsend opportunity for publicity. ”

He walked up to the high platform and smiled first: "Do everyone's military uniforms still fit?" How can I see that some people are about to burst their uniforms! ”

Everyone didn't expect his opening remarks to be like this, and they all laughed.

When the laughter subsided, Lin Yuan said: "I know that you also issued a gun, a soldier, I can understand the mood of putting on a military uniform and picking up a gun!" I used to be like you! ”

After Lin Yuan used a joke and a few opening lines to close the distance between himself and the soldiers, he cut to the chase, and he said loudly: "We are a brand new army!" Why do you say that? Not because we have just been formed, but because we are different from others inside and out! ”

"I don't know if you have heard this sentence, 'a family of soldiers and bandits', I am also a soldier, when I heard this sentence, I felt very uncomfortable! What kind of things do we do? Something that drops your head! It's good to lose your head, and you can still find the corpse, and many times, a cannonball explodes next to you, and we are blown to minced meat! Despite this, the common people see us as ** captive bandits! ”

When Lin Yuan said this, he looked at the reactions of the people and soldiers, and saw that the soldiers had anger on their faces, and the people had guilt on their faces, and he continued: "When we see something, we should first find our own faults, why we will be looked down upon by the people like this, because there are many people in the army, and their practices are no different from bandits!" Robbing the common people of food, killing the common people's livestock, and driving people out of the house in order to live in the common people's houses, here, I assure the people present that our troops will definitely not have such a thing! ”

As he spoke, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said to the soldiers below: "Whoever dares to violate discipline and harass the people will be killed!" ”

Lin Yuan saw that the soldiers' eyes were a little more afraid, so he slowed down his tone and said: "Maybe some of you have seen that the previous army had a big old disease, and in our army, this kind of thing must be completely eliminated!" ”
