PDLP Chapter 236 New Recruit Training
Chapter 236 New Recruit Training
In the following period, the grievance meeting every night became a must-do event, whether it was the soldiers from each company or the prisoners.
After the brave soldier spoke first, everyone let go of their pride and began to complain to everyone.
Obviously, the effect is significant.
The prisoners didn't know that as time went by, they gradually developed a stronger sense of identification with the team, especially when they heard the veterans bragging about their battle achievements.
When Gu Changfeng saw this situation, he was immediately relieved.
While continuing to transform the mountains behind, training for new recruits and prisoners was also put on the agenda.
The method is to have veterans lead new recruits, and let the new recruits practice with them, whether it is tactical modes or shooting elements.
In addition to these, physical training is also indispensable.
Every day the troops had to run from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, back and forth five times, and then continue shooting training. After the training, they continued to dig tunnels.
Of course, as training continues, meat is also indispensable.
In order to increase the soldiers' physical strength, Gu Changfeng not only sent people to the market town to purchase supplies every day, but also targeted the more distant villages.
As Gu Changfeng fed each of the new soldiers one or two pounds of meat every day, although the new soldiers felt very tired, they were still happy in their hearts.
After all, this kind of life where you can eat meat every day is rare even in the ranks of the National Army.
Gu Changfeng was also very willing to spend money on shooting training.
The new recruits fire 5 rounds a day, and more than 20 snipers fire 50 rounds of rifle bullets a day. The snipers are trained in turn using 6 rifles.
Zhou Qianli was unhappy when the order was issued. Although the consumption of meat was high, he had hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, which was enough for the time being.
But as for bullets, with more than 1000 new recruits, at least to are consumed every day, and this reserve is not enough at all.
Gu Changfeng was very persistent. He believed that more training in peacetime would reduce bloodshed in war. If bullets were gone, you could look for more, but if your life was gone, everything was gone.
You have to know that his advantage is not only to go out and rob the Japanese, but the existence of the system is also a great guarantee.
Short of bullets?
Just go and kill the Japs, and you'll get double income!
But what if the reserves are really not enough?
There was good news for the special forces team led by Zhao Ziqing. Gu Changfeng looked at the rising points and couldn't help but feel relieved and devoted himself to the training of the new recruits.
It was mid-April and the training had been going on for a week.
After clearing the system points again, Gu Changfeng began to select special forces and snipers from the recruits. He planned to complete the initial training in about a month, and the rest would depend on actual combat.
Thanks to the previous veterans, all of them had received some instruction from the previous team members. In addition to occasionally leading the team to teach, Gu Changfeng left the rest of the time to the veterans.
At five o'clock in the morning, after a whistle, the special forces team named Lone Wolf began a day of training.
The first step was for 136 soldiers, each carrying 20 kilograms of weight, to conduct ten kilometers of mountain cross-country training.
Then push-ups, squats, sit-ups, burpees, etc.
I have trained in all of these before in Nanxiang, the only difference is swimming.
More than ten kilometers away from Xianyaling, a wild pond was discovered by the team members during training.
Now Gu Changfeng became interested. After personal investigation, the team members added another event, swimming.
In fact, Gu Changfeng’s previous use of the special forces was too direct. Normally, special forces are very useful in harassment, assassinations, and sneak attacks behind enemy lines.
Now that Yeshantang has been discovered, Gu Changfeng has taken the opportunity to bring up the teaching of Japanese language again.
The Lone Wolf team members had a headache.
We start training at 5 o'clock in the morning. In the morning, we do rock climbing, fighting, and shooting. In the afternoon, we do swimming, writing, and learning the Japanese language. In the evening, we do special warfare gestures, special warfare coordination, and lurking.
This arrangement made all the Lone Wolf team members exhausted.
Not just mentally, but physically as well.
But after a period of time, everyone got used to it.
This is how training works. You may not be used to it at the beginning, but later you will gradually like this fulfilling life.
The team members looked at their gradually stronger bodies and the various skills they had learned in their minds.
They were all full of confidence, clamoring to attack the Japanese after the training was completed.
The team members' confidence grew and the training distances became longer and longer, which caused great suffering to the wild beasts in the area.
It was spring, and the animals had to come out to look for food, which happened to run into the team members' guns.
A large amount of meat was transported back to the camp, which made the ordinary soldiers very happy.
With the supplement of meat, the new recruits who had night blindness, which was common in that era, gradually got better.
As May approached, the transformation of the surrounding mountains had been completed and began to gradually radiate to more distant places.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Gu Changfeng doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket. Since he has no battle plan at the moment, he naturally has to move on to the next step.
As for training, it had been completely stopped ten days ago. Gu Changfeng did not dare to continue using it. If he continued to use it, there would be no need to fight, and all the guns would become firewood sticks.
He was now counting on news of Zhao Ziqing, who had disappeared for more than two months.
The special forces team has been almost silent except for sending a telegram a month ago.
Although the system points increased many times in the meantime, this situation disappeared more than half a month ago, which made him very anxious.
Although he believed in Zhao Ziqing's ability, in such a chaotic time, anything could happen.
Whether it's the Japanese, the National Army, or even the bandits, it's normal to capsize in the ditch if you're not careful.
In fact, if Zhao Ziqing hadn't given them the confidence, the logistics department would have run out of bullets long ago, and they wouldn't have been able to train for such a long time.
Just one week into May, the news came.
Zhou Qianli found Gu Changfeng as soon as he received the news.
"Ziqing and his men sent a telegram saying they discovered a prisoner-of-war camp over a hundred kilometers from Laiyuan."
"They lay low for a week and found that the enemy's defenses were quite tight and it was difficult to get in,"
"Ask us whether we should evacuate now or go and take them down."
Gu Changfeng was delighted and looked at Zhou Qianli and asked, "Did you say how many devils there were?"
Zhou Qianli said: "There are two squadrons of devils outside, and the situation inside is still unclear."
"But according to their survey, there are at least 1000 devils inside."
Gu Changfeng said in surprise: "How many people are being held here? A normal prisoner-of-war camp would be lucky to have two squadrons of Japanese soldiers."
Zhou Qianli said, "Perhaps the Japanese have some important supplies over there."
Gu Changfeng thought for a moment, asked the soldiers to bring the map, and then asked Zhou Qianli: "Which specific direction?"
Zhou Qianli looked at the map for a while and pointed to a place called Fangshan near Lingqiu.
"It's right here. The telegram said the Japanese are backed up by a cliff over 200 meters high. The main roads in the mountain are guarded by Japanese. There is only one way into the mountain, and even the top of the mountain is guarded by Japanese."
"Ziqing and the others tried several times, but there was really no way."
Gu Changfeng frowned. The place was already part of Lingqiu, and the two places were only a few dozen miles apart.
If the Japanese heard the noise, they would only be able to provide support in an hour or two. It would take a lot of effort to take the city down in a short period of time.
"Why did Lao Zhao and the others go to Lingqiu?" Gu Changfeng thought to himself.
Zhou Qianli looked at Gu Changfeng eagerly, waiting for his decision.
He really wants to fight. He has been living off his savings and it's really stressful for him as the general manager.
After thinking for a while, Gu Changfeng gritted his teeth and said, "The special forces have been training for about a month. Let's take them out and give it a try."
"How many people should I bring? I'll go and prepare." Zhou Qianli smiled.
"Let the second and third companies go, and the artillery company must go too."
"Deng Wu, Luo Xiong's 4th and 5th companies should not be idle either. Lead them out to find trouble. No matter if they are bandits or devils, capture them all if you can."
After the training, Gu Changfeng restored Qingpu City's 380-person organization, and the artillery company personnel had increased to 160 people.
The selected snipers were also reallocated to various companies. As for Shuanzi and others who could hold big guns, they were directly transferred to the special forces.
The special forces team now had sufficient firepower, including 10 Type 2 light rifles, 15 heavy machine guns, 5 grenade launchers, one Japanese Southern pistol for each soldier, and long-range snipers.
The only pity is that most of them have become empty shells.
Otherwise, with the firepower and combat effectiveness of the special forces, they would almost crush a few Japanese squadrons.
Zhou Qianli nodded and said, "Okay, the dry food is ready. Do you want to leave tonight or tomorrow?"
Sooner or later, he would have to go out and fight the Japanese. Zhou Qianli knew this well, so he started preparing early.
"Tonight, tell Lao Zhao to keep an eye on the Japanese over there and report any news immediately."
Since Gu Changfeng has made up his mind, he must go there as soon as possible.
With an artillery company, a special forces team and two fully staffed companies, it is more than enough to fight a battle.
