At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Liu Gen shouted out to the fighters, who had not had physical training in the previous week's training.

The loading and shooting of artillery shells is very tiring, and it can also play a role in a little physical training, but in the future, the soldiers will not be so easy, and physical training is still quite necessary. Whether it is the transfer of infantry guns, or the transportation of artillery shells, etc., the soldiers need to have strong enough physical fitness.

Besides, Liu Genke knew that the stock of artillery shells in the new regiment was not replenished, and once the shells ran out and could not be replenished, then the soldiers of the artillery company should also need to fight on the front line. If it is not an emergency, the fighters of the artillery company will not go on easily, but the devil's combat effectiveness is so strong, it is better to prepare early. Liu Gen didn't want the artillery company to only be able to shoot artillery, and not be able to fight the devil head-on.

If there were enough shells, then Liu Gen would not care too much about this, but unfortunately the situation faced by the Eighth Route Army is relatively grim, not to mention the devils, even the national army will suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army and avoid the Eighth Route Army from becoming stronger. Not to mention, after the War of Resistance Against Japan entered the stalemate stage, there were many small actions of the national army.

Physical training is still relatively simple, running five kilometers and doing 500 push-ups, which is not much. In later generations, the training of ordinary soldiers was like this, and the amount of training in some special units was much larger.

However, Liu Gen ignored one thing, that is, the physical fitness of the soldiers could not be compared with the later generations, and compared with the soldiers of later generations, the soldiers of the artillery company lacked nutrition, which meant that the soldiers of the artillery company could not be required by the standards of later generations. After the five-kilometer cross-country run, Liu Gen could see that many fighters were slumped to the ground, unable to continue training.

Liu Gen could see that the fighters did not want to be lazy, but that their bodies could not support them to continue training. A week of training made Liu Gen somewhat overestimate the physical fitness of the soldiers, and now seeing this happening, he is deeply aware of his own shortcomings, and he should not use the standards of later generations to demand the soldiers of the artillery company.

If you want the soldiers of the artillery company to have a strong battle, it is undoubtedly necessary to supplement the consumption of the soldiers with a lot of nutrients. Liu Gen had a headache, he opened his personal panel, trying to find a solution from the system, but the system did not have a mall, and it was impossible to buy any materials.

After thinking carefully for a while, Liu Gen thought of the large-scale production movement that would appear in two years, and that kind of large-scale production movement would greatly improve the predicament of the Eighth Route Army. Liu Gen could not influence the overall situation, but he was able to organize the soldiers of his artillery company to reclaim wasteland and be as self-sufficient as possible without affecting training and combat.

Even if they can't be self-sufficient, they can get more food, and the soldiers of the artillery company can improve their physical fitness, and only after eating too much can they have physical training. Liu Gen was a little excited, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, it was now March, just right for planting, and if it was too late, it might affect the planting.

There are many crops suitable for growing in Shanxi, such as sorghum, millet, corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, barley, buckwheat, peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes and a variety of vegetables.

It can be said that as long as Liu Gen and the soldiers of the artillery company reclaim in time, then there will definitely be something to gain at that time. Even if the new regiment is not in this place at that time, it can be collected by friendly troops, but if it doesn't work, you can also let the villagers collect it, and the villagers should be very willing.

Thinking of the villagers in the village, Liu Gen also thought that the new regiment could cooperate with the villagers to plant, the soldiers could reclaim the land, and they could also distribute seeds to the villagers, and the crops would be handed over to the villagers to take care of, and it should also be feasible to give the villagers a certain amount of food as a reward when the time comes. There may not be many villagers in a village, but the new regiment has three battalions and more than 1,000 soldiers, and if the fighters are dispersed, there will be more villagers who can be mobilized.

Liu Gen was a little excited, he was sure that his idea was feasible, and the most important thing to do now was to get the support of Ding Wei, the head of the regiment. Without Ding Wei's support, Liu Gen could only take the soldiers of the artillery company to do this, which would have a certain gain, but it would not affect the overall situation. Plant earlier, and the harvest will be more later.

Even if the Eighth Route Army only dedicates a part of the soldiers to do this, it will make the soldiers more fed and their physical fitness better. Even, if it goes well, you can also consider raising pigs and ducks or something, Shanxi is hilly, and you can open up a secret place to raise pigs and chickens or something.

After having breakfast and letting the soldiers train on their own, Liu Gen walked quickly towards the regiment headquarters, he wanted to find Ding Wei, tell him what he thought, and get the support of Ding Wei, the regiment commander, as much as possible.

When he came to the regiment headquarters, Liu Gen walked into the room and could see that Ding Wei had just started to eat breakfast, as the regiment commander, Ding Wei's breakfast was similar to that of the soldiers, and there was just an extra pickle. Ding Wei was a little surprised to see Liu Gen coming, at this time, shouldn't Liu Gen take the soldiers of the artillery company for training?

"Genzi, you're here? Have you had breakfast? Would you like to have something together? Ding Wei asked with a smile.

Liu Gen shook his head, "Leader, I've eaten, you can eat." ”

"Genzi, what's the matter with you, right?" Ding Wei looked at Liu Gen, saw the strangeness in Liu Gen's expression, and put down his chopsticks.

"Commander, it's not too late for me to say another when you're done eating, it's not too late." Liu Gen said.

Ding Wei picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, "Genzi, you better say it directly, what you said should be very important, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me so early." ”

"That's right, regiment commander, this morning I took the fighters of the artillery company for training, and after five kilometers of cross-country, many of the fighters were paralyzed on the ground, they could not withstand such training. This kind of training is not heavy, but the fighters just can't bear it, their physical fitness is too poor. ”

"When I fought with the devil with bayonets, I found that the skills of the fighters were not bad, but the bayonets were not the opponents of the devils at all, and the devils were able to win because of their physical fitness. The devil's soldiers have been drinking milk and eating meat since they were children, and their physical fitness is much stronger than ours. Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

Ding Wei nodded, he knew this, "Genzi, I know this, but you also know that the supplies of our new regiment are not much, and we can't support the soldiers for too long." Our new group is like this, not to mention other groups, if you have any ideas, just say it. ”

Looking at Liu Gen, Ding Wei had some expectations, maybe Liu Gen could bring him a little surprise.
