Beginning in 1862, the troops were issued three pairs of shoes per round, liberation shoes for marching and combat, cloth shoes for daily life, and leather shoes for more instrumental moments. Just as Wei Ze said, after the new shoes brought great surprises to the cadres and soldiers of the troops, they soon made the troops experience what hell is called in the brand-new military training.

Aerobic exercise can be very painful for the body, especially when the heart and lung function improves. Even the military backbone of the army is very unbearable when faced with a three-thousand-meter day six days a week, and a five-thousand-meter meter for three days. First it was a flat exercise, followed by a mountain march. With good shoes, what is brought to the troops is more and more intensive military training.

Recruits with a younger average age than veterans have adapted to new military training earlier. After surviving the initial period of a large amount of exercise, no matter how hard they practiced the first day, they would still be alive and well the next day after sleeping.

After three months of military training, the unit basically gained combat effectiveness. The one who used it to test the knife was the Citi Army. In the past six months, the Citi Army has continued to enter the control range of the Guangfu Army. Thanks to the efforts of the Liberation Army, the Hunan locals in this unit learned that their families had been divided into land, and they left the Citi Army and went home.

Of course, the Guangfu Army knows what the people have been forced into by the previous world, and it is really this year and not next year. But this sympathy is not unlimited. After the people who were still willing to farm left, the people who remained in the Citi Army gradually became homogeneous, and the remaining people were a group of people who refused to go home to farm. Such a Citi Army did not turn into a revolutionary ranks, but into a half-bandit, half-rebel armed force.

"Report, it's determined that there is a Citi Army there in Qilipu." The regimental reconnaissance unit quickly brought back new information to the regimental headquarters. Political commissar Zhou Jinguo did not say anything, in terms of authority, the regiment commander is the military commander, and Zhou Jinguo, as the political commissar, must respect the military command of the regiment commander.

However, the regiment commander Qian Liqun did not have the intention of being completely arbitrary in military affairs, and Zhou Jinguo was also born as a battalion commander, so he was not a rookie in combat. Qian Liqun asked: "Old Zhou, how to deal with the prisoners, they are not the Hunan army, and there is still a place to go after they are released." The gang let them go, and they're going to continue to wander outside. ”

Zhou Jinguo looked at the people around him who were more at ease, and then he said: "The army means to carry out labor reform on them. Send it to the mine for mining, or send it to the quarry. Anyway, I won't let them continue to plague here. ”

There are some mines in Chenzhou and Yongxing, and even the local people who live in difficulty are unwilling to go to work in such a harsh environment until the last resort.

"This is good! This is good! The head of the regiment, Qian Liqun, praised repeatedly. The other members of the party committee were also quite happy, after all, the army had a prisoner policy, and the Hunan army could not kill at will, let alone from the Taiping army. If this Citi Army is willing to be honest, the Liberation Army may not really want to spend such a big deal to solve them.

But the armed forces, which have become semi-bandits, are very disgusting, and in the territory in which they are entrenched, they collect money and food from both the rich and the poor. The local village-level government, which was built on the basis of land reform, hated these people to the core. Especially for those families who have joined the army, the rice in the house has not been eaten before it is stolen by the Citigroup.

It's just that the Citi Army is also very smart, and when they saw that the Guangfu Army was steadily controlling Yongxing, Ziyang and other areas, they didn't dare to go deep into the Guangfu Army's controlled areas. Instead, they chose to move on the periphery of the Liberation Army. At this time, the Qing army no longer had the courage to deploy the army to an area close to the Guangfu army. Backed by the Liberation Army, the Citi Army has gained some space for activities.

"Surround and annihilate this Citi Army in Qilipu." The head of the regiment, Qian Liqun, gave the order.

Everyone didn't want to do anything in Qilipu Village, so the troops were sent out from afar, and a force went around the back of the Citi Army to set up an ambush. The troops in front first fired a few demonstrative shells at Qilipu, and the Citi troops in Qilipu began to retreat with what they had grabbed. When they were withdrawn into the encirclement, the troops launched a surprise attack.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the battle ended, and the troops pressed more than 300 prisoners on the way back. The regiment commander was also quite unexpected, set off on the same day, fought on the same day, and returned on the same day. More than sixty miles back and forth. The troops did not feel too tired. Obviously, the new training has a good effect.

It was not only the 2nd Regiment that attacked, but several other regiments launched an attack on the Citi Army, destroying their troops that had entered the Guangfu Army-controlled area. The original strength of the Citi Army was less than 5,000, and after being annihilated several times, the number plummeted to less than 3,000. The leaders of the Citi Army, Li Hongzhao, Zheng Qiao, and the pioneer Tan Xing were confused by this sudden change.

Those troops had all disappeared in the area under the control of the Liberation Army, and it was easy to understand what was going on. The three leaders angrily scolded the Liberation Army for doing things sneakily. But scolding doesn't do anything. Li Hongzhao was the first to calm down, "I can't stay here anymore, Li Shixian has sent people to invite us to join us many times, and we will defect to the Taiping Army in Zhejiang." ”

Pioneer Tan Xing said: "Big brother, if we don't provoke the Guangfu Army anymore, we can still get away here for a while." "Obviously, moving freely in this kind of blank area of power between the Liberation Army and the Qing Army makes the pioneer Tan Xing very nostalgic. It is not that they have not fought with the Qing army, and compared with the current days when they can take and extort property from the locality, the days of licking blood with knives are really unbearable.

The leader Li Hongzhao persuaded: "Brother, the Liberation Army has already started, do you still expect them to stop?" How are we going to get mixed up here, don't you know? It's just that the Liberation Army refuses to deal with us. If you don't leave now, you can only wait for death! ”

The second leader, Zheng Qiao, said a little unconfidently: "Big brother, we talked too much last time, saying that we were going to divide Hunan with the Guangfu Army. We sent people to find them this time, and the guys who sincerely joined the Liberation Army, what do you think? ”

The face of the leader, Li Hongzhao, has changed, and he has always been very suspicious of the Guangfu Army, which has stepped on the road of the corpses of the local rebels in Guangdong to get to this day. Six years ago, the local Shangtiandi Society in Guangdong revolted and besieged the city of Guangzhou. failed to capture it for half a year, and finally under the blow of the Qing army, the troops of the Tiandihui were defeated all the way to Guangxi.

And the Guangfu Army took advantage of this time to enter Guangdong and have today's territory. Psychologically, Li Hongzhao could not fully accept bowing to the Liberation Army.

It's just that when he got to this point, he thought for a while, and finally said, "It's okay, we'll send someone to contact them now." ”R1058
