"Run for me!"

On the mountain road near Yang Village, Li Yunlong trotted all the way with an ammunition box, and at the same time shouted loudly towards the recruit camp on the side, his voice was extremely loud, his voice spread far away, and his tone was even rougher:

"I've only run twenty miles, why can't I do it?"

"With this little ability, do you still want to fight devils?"

On the sloped mountain road beside Li Yunlong, the hundreds of soldiers of the recruit independent battalion were all out of breath.

Carrying a weight of 30 kilograms, the 30-mile weight-bearing cross-country run is not yet halfway through, which makes these new recruits who have not been in the army for a long time feel like a big stone on their chests, and they feel extremely difficult to breathe.

The regiment commander's words swept through the team, and the recruits gritted their teeth one by one, recalling the previous teachings of the battalion commander's instructor, moving the thirty-kilogram ammunition box on their backs, constantly adjusting their breathing, and their steps suddenly became faster.

The speed of the march of the troops was noticeably faster, but it was not much, and the weight of thirty kilograms was not light.

Thirty kilograms, the standard field load of the troops.

Such a heavy burden is a bit too heavy for the Eighth Route Army, which has generally poor physical strength, but it is really helpless.

Once the devils come to encircle and suppress the base areas with heavy troops, the troops can only clear the wilderness and bring all their belongings to divert the sharp edge of the devils, during which the whole army has no fixed residence, and it is impossible to replenish the base areas as they do on weekdays, and people eat and chew along the way, and all the weapons and ammunition and baggage must be carried by themselves, so they can only increase the burden.

"Not bad!"

"It's all men!"

Looking at the speeding troops, Li Yunlong was very satisfied.

After getting the grain hidden by the big traitor dog landlord, the independent regiment was finally able to get rid of the days of being dominated by miscellaneous grains, and at least one meal of fine white flour a day, compared with the indigestible coarse grains, the effect of fine white flour rice was remarkable.

It's only been ten days, and the soldiers' faces are obviously more luster, and their physical strength is better than before.

This is also an important reason why he dares to go directly to the 30-mile weight-bearing cross-country run.

Li Yunlong decided to add another fire:

"Aren't they all clamoring to participate in the battle and fight devils? Within a month and a half, there will be a big battle in our regiment, and as long as this cross-country run catches up with the second battalion, all of them can participate. ”

Grand Master Li was naturally not afraid that this would reach his superiors.

At present, the target of the ambush, the squadron of the Devil Kwantung Army has not yet set off, and there is not a single word of these eight characters, and the information is currently known only to them. Even if his superiors asked, he casually said that he could easily fool the devil puppet army transport team by ambushing it.

As soon as the words fell, the recruits looked at Li Yunlong one after another, with incredible eyes in their eyes.

Although everyone in the independent battalion of recruits was issued a gun and a bayonet, and even fired a few bullets, they never had their share in the battle, and the last time it was just a trip to Jiazhuang to move food, and the regimental headquarters said that they would have to go through at least three months of recruit training.

Now, they have only been training for half a month.

"Commander, don't lie to me?"

A recruit asked, confused.

Did you make it up casually to deceive them?

Like coaxing a child? When they arrived with all their hard work, they changed their minds again!

Looking at everyone's eyes, Li Yunlong supported the ammunition box on his shoulder with one hand, smiled hehe, and said in a loud voice:

"A spit, a nail, when have you ever seen me Li Yunlong's words don't count?"

Everyone thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

On the day of enlistment, the regiment commander said that the gun would be issued, and on the same day, everyone would get a gun. It is said that the first 300 people who were trained to shoot targets entered the 123rd Battalion, and the top 300 people who were trained to shoot were transferred to the 123rd Battalion the next day.

Now, that group had all fought.

can be the envy of them.

"Yes!"

Suddenly, the recruits erupted, and the speed of the team increased again.

They have long wanted to fight the devil in a dignified manner!

"Lao Li, is this good?"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang, who was training together, also ran over, frowned and said:

"The second battalion conducted a bayonet drill before coming, and the physical consumption was very great, and if you are so excited, I am afraid that more than half of the soldiers will catch up with the second battalion. Didn't you say that only 300 people would be selected to participate? ”

At an operational meeting the other day, the separate regiment drew up a plan to expand each battalion to five hundred.

"Although this group of people used to be militiamen, it is better to train recruits for three months!" Zhao Gang continued.

Now the development momentum of the base area is very good, the devil can't reach in for the time being after the last sweep, and the independent regiment is also very abundant in supplies, so the independent regiment has formulated a three-month recruit training plan.

Years of war experience have proved that after three months of training, recruits who have thoroughly mastered the basic skills of running, dodging, trench digging and other basic skills can have a three-fold higher survival rate on the battlefield.

"Actual combat is the best training."

Li Yunlong's tone was solemn: "And I'm afraid we don't have so much time to train this group of new soldiers, we must let them adapt to the battlefield as soon as possible, otherwise once the big war comes, I'm afraid there will be more casualties." ”

"It's been okay lately, and the devil hasn't made any big moves lately."

Zhao Gang was a little puzzled.

He had been to the headquarters for a meeting last month, and the intelligence gathered by the headquarters showed that the devils had no plans for a large-scale sweep in the near future. With the intelligence capabilities of the headquarters, this obviously can't go wrong.

Moreover, as soon as there is any news, the higher authorities will definitely inform the regiments.

"I always have a feeling that in the next period of time, we may not have a good time."

As a ten-year veteran, Li Yunlong has an extraordinary sense of smell on the battlefield: "It's been three and a half months since the last sweep, and according to the time, it's time for the devil to do it." ”

"Moreover, the fact that this Kwantung Army devil suddenly ran to Shanxi is also full of strange smells."

As soon as Li Yunlong said, Zhao Gang also reacted suddenly.

It is now the beginning of April, and the spring planting time is almost over, according to reason, the devil should have chosen this time to sweep the base area many times, burn, kill and loot, and destroy the grain production in the base area, but this year he did not come.

In addition, why did the Kwantung Army, which was staying in the northeast, suddenly come to Shanxi? Shanxi is not the front line, and moreover, there are 500 people who came, which is equivalent to half a brigade, and this scale is also very special.

This is the most common troop size for the devils to sweep through the base area.

"Could it be that the devil is going to launch a sweep, but there is no intelligence at the headquarters, and it is impossible for the devil to hide from the intelligence agency of the headquarters, right?" Zhao Gang had speculation in his heart, but he didn't believe it.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been fought for three years, and in the puppet army, in the devil city, the intelligence agencies have long buried a lot of internal lines, if the devil wants to launch a sweep, he will inevitably mobilize materials and troops, even if he is careful to act covertly, but tens of thousands of dispatches, the Eighth Route Army cannot have no news at all.

"I don't know, but it's always good to be careful."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes: "The devil will never let us develop like this." ”

Now the troops are mixed in the rear of the devils, and the base area has expanded more than ten times, not to mention, each regiment has recruited troops, and almost every regiment has been expanded several times, and their independent regiment alone, as soon as it is said that it has expanded, more than 1,000 militiamen immediately came, and you can imagine the situation in other places.

The situation in the base area cannot be concealed from the devils, and the devils will never let it go.

"Hmm!"

After being silent for a while, looking at the recruits who gritted their teeth and followed the second battalion, Zhao Gang also nodded.

"Zhang Dabiao!"

Li Yunlong shouted.

"In!"

Zhang Dabiao, who was carrying a log, immediately ran over.

He has been following behind Li Yunlong, the second battalion is already a mature battalion, it will train by itself, and it will boost morale by itself, and there is no need for him, the battalion commander, to keep an eye on it all the time.

Moreover, after he carried a thick log, his speed really couldn't be improved.

"What are you carrying a log?"

"Carrying this thirty miles of land, do you still have the strength to lead the team to train in the afternoon?"

Looking at the panting Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong frowned.

This log is equivalent to the weight of a normal person, so the monk can carry it around, and other people, on this hillside, even Zhang Dabiao is enough to choke, and if he carries it for thirty miles, the person will soften.

"Exercise!"

"As for the afternoon training, I can bear it, I asked Huang Baowang for some good things you got last time."

Zhang Dabiao smiled, and supported the log with both hands, revealing the contents of his pockets.

A packet of granulated sugar.

The corners of Li Yunlong's eyes jumped.

For a guy like Zhang Dabiao, whose physical strength is far stronger than ordinary people, as long as he is not completely exhausted, after training, drink a glass of strong sugar water to replenish energy, and then rest for an hour or two, and he can recover as intact as before.

"Save it, you guy don't run out of labor!"

After scolding Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong's tone was solemn: "Starting from today, other training items will be canceled in the afternoon, and the whole regiment will carry out white-knuckle combat training, starting from actual combat as much as possible." ”

"Recruits are also participating!"

After a pause, Li Yunlong added: "Tell the soldiers, don't be afraid of getting hurt, but you kid should also pay attention, don't make serious injuries!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao responded in a solemn tone.

In the afternoon, in Yang Village, where the Independent Regiment was stationed, shouts shook the sky and the sound of killing was incessant. The regiment's more than 2,000 people, with companies as units, used wooden sticks tied with cotton cloth heads to carry out actual bayonet training.

Between the fists and the flesh, stick by stick, and stab, the bloody ruthlessness of the fighters was also sharpened little by little.

Zhao Gang's heart was shocked, and when a few lightly injured fighters appeared, he couldn't help but want to stop them, but Li Yunlong said a few words to make him acquiesce to this training method.

"I'd rather the fighters get wounded in training than die on the battlefield."

"When the gun is jammed, there is a time when the bullet runs out, but the bayonet will never have a problem, even if the blade is rolled up, as long as the strength is enough, it can stab the devil to death."

"Moreover, white-knuckle combat training is the best way to train the courage of troops in addition to the battlefield."

Zhao Gang silently agreed.

Nowadays, the independent regiment is indeed not short of weapons and ammunition, and even the light firepower is stronger than that of ordinary devils, and the ammunition reserve even exceeds that of a battle, but these things are given by others, and they are rootless.

No matter how bad it is, you have to have something of your own.

·····

Early the next morning.

Li Yunlong called Monk Wei and asked the guards to prepare their horses.

"Let's go, come with me to a new group!"

"Howler!"

Monk Wei was an infantry before, and rarely had the opportunity to contact horses, and before joining the army, he was in Shaolin Temple, and he couldn't even see the horse, so he was naturally not proficient in horseback riding.

But soon, the monk's strong learning ability was displayed, and after a few minutes, he mastered the balance of his body, and after a while, he even dared to wave the whip and move forward at high speed.

The new regiment is some distance from the station of the independent regiment, and there are two roads in between, and Zhao Gang told the monk before setting off that he must protect the safety of the regiment commander, so the monk Wei was very vigilant along the way.

"Commander, are the two of us really okay?"

Looking at the road in the distance, the monk muttered in his heart.

If he was alone, then he was not afraid, with his ability, even if he was surrounded by devils, he could run a run, but with one more regiment commander, his heart began to get nervous.

In case a devil's patrol comes at this time...

"Look at your cowardice!"

Li Yunlong was not panicked at all:

"Although there is a space between the new regiment and the independent regiment, the devil will never dare to put his hand in it. If he dares to come, Ding Wei will definitely eat it in one bite. ”

"Ding Wei, this kid, is not easy to mess with."

After speaking, Li Yunlong waved his horsewhip and sped away.

Xingjia Village, the new regiment station.

As the old regiment leader, Li Yunlong easily entered the new regiment headquarters.

"Ding Wei!"

As soon as he shouted, Ding Wei rushed out of the house, without the joy of seeing his old comrades-in-arms on his face, but glared at him with a look of anger: "Labor and management are preparing to settle accounts with you!" How dare you come? How dare you come to the labor and management? ”

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the reason why Ding Wei was furious:

"You can't blame me, I was ready for the 50,000 rounds of ammunition I gave you, and I was about to find someone to send them to you, but the brigade headquarters suddenly came over and robbed me all, and I couldn't help it."

"Damn, my losses are so big, a whole eighty tons of weapons and ammunition, all the fucking ones were taken away from me! Leave me less than a tenth! ”

"Hey, hey, hey, but it's true that our old Li is in debt, and next time I wait for my brother to develop, I will definitely pay you back with interest!"

In the end, Li Yunlong suddenly piled up a smiling face, hehe smiled.

"What do you want to do?"

The sudden change in Li Yunlong's tone made Ding Wei vigilant.

This kid, if it weren't for something to ask for, would definitely not be this low-voiced expression.

didn't wait for Li Yunlong to speak, Ding Wei waved his hand directly:

"Don't borrow, don't borrow weapons and ammunition, don't borrow troops either, labor and management don't care about food here, the poor can't even afford to eat recently, where do you hurry up and go back and forth!"

After speaking, he walked directly into the regiment headquarters and stretched out his hand to close the door.

"Hey, you're not interesting enough!"

Li Yunlong hurriedly grabbed Ding Wei and said with a smile: "I also know that you are having a hard time, brother, I am afraid that you have not eaten a good meal of meat for a long time." Recently, my brother and I got a chance to eat meat, so I came to invite you to go with me! ”

On the side, the corner of the monk's eyes twitched.

Our leader...

When I first met, I was a brother, how did I become an old brother in a blink of an eye?
