Chapter 21: To the First Battalion
Looking at the book in his hand, Liu Gen compared the content with the artillery knowledge he knew.
Under this learning method, Liu Gen's learning efficiency is very high, because he has the natural ability to remember and forget, so that he can memorize all the content of the book after reading it once. Memorizing it does not mean that he can understand, Liu Gen knows this very well, consciously controls the speed of his reading of the book, and tries his best to understand all the content in the book, but because there is no teacher to guide him, Liu Gen has accumulated a lot of doubts and cannot get answers.
Three hours later, Liu Gen finished reading a book, closed his eyes, and digested the knowledge in the book, which talked about the requirements that artillery needs to master when fighting, which made Liu Gen feel that he had gained a lot. Opening the dashboard and taking a look, Liu Gen could see that he didn't have one more skill, which made him a little disappointed.
Touching his stomach, after reading the book for so long, Liu Gen was a little hungry. When I came to the dining hall of the regiment headquarters, I could see that there were not too many people here, and it was already one o'clock at noon, and the time for eating had long passed.
"Squad Leader Wang, do you have anything to eat?" Seeing the leader of the cooking squad who was busy cleaning, Liu Gen asked.
Team leader Wang is almost forty or fifty years old, and as the head of the cooking class, he has always done a good job. is different from the image seen in the TV series, as the leader of the cooking class, he looks a little thin and has a bit of a rickety back, and he is responsible for the meal of one or two hundred people in the head of the group, which is not an easy job.
"There are a few more pancakes, they should be cold, why don't I warm them up for you again?" Seeing that it was Liu Gen, squad leader Wang's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.
In the previous breakout battle, the cooking class also participated, but the cooking class was the last in the whole regiment. Squad Leader Wang knows Liu Gen's performance in the breakout battle, and he likes Liu Gen very much, otherwise, ordinary soldiers will definitely be scolded by Squad Leader Wang for not eating at the meal, but now he is here.
"No, no! Out of the way. Liu Gen hurriedly stopped.
It's March 1940, and the weather in the northwest of Shanxi is fine, and there is nothing to eat cold pancakes. There are no rice cookers in the cooking class in the anti-Japanese battlefield, and firewood is needed for cooking, and Liu Gen doesn't want to trouble squad leader Wang.
Leaving the cooking class with a few pancakes, Liu Gen took out a pancake and stuffed the rest in his arms to keep it warm. Nibbling on the pancake in his hand, Liu Gen walked towards the position of the first battalion, the new regiment has three battalions, two companies, three battalions are guarded around the regiment headquarters in a zigzag shape, and the two companies are the communication company and the security company directly under the regiment.
If you want to select suitable soldiers to train as artillery, Liu Gen also needs to run towards the three battalions, and among the three battalions, Liu Gen has a good relationship with Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, which is why Liu Gen will be the first to come to the first battalion.
In less than ten minutes, Liu Gen walked to the first battalion, very relaxed.
Along the way, Liu Gen could also see that there were many soldiers on guard, and in order to ensure the safety of the regiment headquarters, it was quite necessary to have enough soldiers to remain vigilant. At the same time, Liu Gen could also see that there were soldiers training. As soon as he came to the front of the first battalion, Liu Gen heard a burst of shouts and killings from the first battalion, thinking that Zhang Dabiao was training the soldiers of the first battalion.
"Stop!" A soldier called out to Liu Gen, looking a little vigilant.
Looking at this soldier, Liu Gen could see that this soldier was a little immature, he should not be an adult yet, and his somewhat thin body looked like it could be blown down by a gust of wind. The little soldier held the 38 rifle tightly in his hand and looked a little nervous.
"Who are you? What's the matter with coming to our first camp? The little warrior looked vigilant,
Liu Gen laughed, this little soldier is very interesting, he came from the regiment headquarters, didn't this little soldier see it? Thinking that this little soldier might have just arrived in the first battalion, Liu Gen didn't care.
"I'm Liu Gen, an artilleryman from the regiment headquarters, you go and inform you Battalion Commander Zhang, it's fine." Liu Gen said with a smile.
The little soldier glanced at Liu Gen seriously, and after explaining to another soldier not far away, he ran towards the first battalion. Looking at the figure of this little soldier leaving, Liu Gen was a little surprised in his heart, Zhang Dabiao has always been very arrogant in doing things, he didn't expect Zhang Dabiao to be so meticulous when he was the battalion commander.
It can be seen that Zhang Dabiao, the battalion commander, should have a request, so that the soldiers of the first battalion will maintain such a state. The soldier not far away knew Liu Gen, but he didn't choose to let Liu Gen go in directly, it should be Zhang Dabiao's battalion commander's orders.
Without letting Liu Gen wait too long, the little soldier came back and informed Liu Gen that he could go in, and under the leadership of the little soldier, he took Liu Gen out of the first camp. Walking past a few houses, Liu Gen could see a battalion of soldiers in training, the soldiers were a little thin, but they were still full of murderous aura when they shouted to kill.
Looking at these thin soldiers, Liu Gen's heart was a little heavy, in the new regiment, the soldiers were all like this, let alone in other troops. With Li Yunlong, the head of the regiment, the treatment of the new regiment is still good, and he can eat a few meals of meat every month, and he can also ensure three meals, but even so, the soldiers' bodies still look thin.
If you want to make the warriors' bodies stronger, you need to let the fighters eat more meat, due to the lack of nutrition of the fighters, the fighters should not train for too long, generally the training needs to end in two to three hours, so that the fighters can rest well.
"Neko, why are you here?" Zhang Dabiao saw Liu Gen coming, stopped what he was doing, and walked over.
The other fighters continued to train, and the soldiers in the first battalion were very strict with Zhang Dabiao, which is one of the reasons why their combat effectiveness was so strong.
"Brother Zhang, that's the case, you also know that now there is only one artillery left in our regiment, and the regiment commander asked me to train a few artillerymen, so I came to you, brother, to find a few good seedlings." Liu Gen said helplessly. The artillery of the new regiment was originally not much, and now it needs to be replenished, and naturally it also needs the support of Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion.
"That's the case, okay, my brother's work, how can I not cooperate as an elder brother? Pick it, and take it with whoever you like. Zhang Dabiao said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, then I'm welcome." Liu Gen hurriedly said with some gratitude.
It is still a little difficult to select soldiers from other battalions, the new regiment is already short of soldiers, and it is a little difficult for the three battalions to replenish their troops, let alone let Liu Gen pick some to be artillery. Now the new regiment also has three Type 92 infantry guns, as well as three mortars. Each infantry gun needs at least five people to control, and each mortar needs at least two people, that is, Liu Gen needs at least twenty people.
In addition, with some logistics personnel, thirty people are still needed.
Liu Gen was very worried, where did the thirty people come from, now that it's okay, Zhang Dabiao cooperates like this, and he can be more relaxed.
