Chapter 197: Training
The breeze blew, a fat gray rabbit appeared among the rippling ups and downs of the thatch, shaking his long ears and looking left and right, the gray rabbit was obviously frightened, turned his head and ran into the grass and disappeared, maybe the afternoon sun was a little sunburned, and the rabbit couldn't stand it.
The pile of weeds where the rabbit was standing just now suddenly moved, and a voice suddenly sounded in the empty grass, "It's all you, I said catch the rabbit, we can fight the tooth sacrifice at night, this is good, the rabbit runs away"
"Dog's ingot, don't move, if you are caught by Lao Luo, it will be miserable, and the big head was punished to clean the toilet yesterday" A deliberately suppressed voice sounded, obviously dissuading the person who spoke before.
"You two are going to run back to clean the toilet now, and right away" A pair of military boots appeared in front of the two weeds, the two weeds were lifted, and the faces of the two men hiding under the thatch were full of chagrin. The tall man quietly turned his foot at the ingots standing next to him, his face was full of helplessness, in the end he was still affected by this kid.
There were several other thatched guys who went back with the two of them, which made Hu Guang feel a lot better, and he didn't forget to throw a roll of the eyes at Yuanbao. Several people lined up and jumped down the hill with their rifles on their backs, they didn't dare to be dishonest, there were still many instructors lurking on the mountain, if they were found to be lazy, the end would be very miserable, not just cleaning the toilet.
"Stop, the road ahead is not passable, let's turn around" A straw man with a gun suddenly popped out of the roadside, startling several people in Yuanbao, this person was hidden in front of his eyes, and he didn't find it. Since they were told to change the course, several people had to mumble and divert directly through the grassy slope to the foot of the mountain, and encountered the same thing several times along the way, and even the stupid people knew that it was the instructor who was playing tricks on them. There was no way, the instructor's words still had to be obeyed, and the group was tossed for a long time before returning to the foot of the mountain exhausted.
"You say, does this big-nosed Lao Luo have an enmity with us? Why do you always fix a few of us? When he got down the mountain and walked on the mountain road again, the inquisitive Yuan Bao noticed that the few people who followed him down the mountain were all guys who had been punished recently.
"Who knows what's going on" Hu Guang turned the rifle on his back into his hand and held it up, this is the first lesson Lao Luo taught everyone, when marching on foot, the firearm must be held in the hand at any time, and once an emergency occurs, you can shoot at any time. When other people saw Hu Guang's style, they also did it one after another, who would think that they would have a long life. The eldest Hu Guang temporarily became a sharp soldier and walked in the front, although this place was close to the camp, everyone still lined up in two columns according to Hu Guang's arrangement, and distanced themselves from each other.
"What's the name of the kid in the lead?" Several binoculars were moving with Hu Guang and the others, and Roger, with a full beard, was lying on a high point with a few scouts observing their group. A scout quickly checked the name in his memory, "His name is Hu Guang, he is a wounded soldier who was withdrawn to Ramgarh last year, a supplementary battalion that entered after his injuries were healed, and he is a 39-year veteran who has fought in China."
"Keep him, and the ingots with him," Roger's words made the other scouts happy. The training of the recruits has always been run by a few scouts following Roger, and they know the quality of the recruits best. Hu Guang is undoubtedly one of the best in this batch of supplementary soldiers, and veterans who have fought in battles are in demand no matter which unit they are in. Yuan Bao is the last time to replenish the soldiers, although he has been staying in the logistics team, but that kid is clever and can run, and with a little training, he is definitely a good hand.
Yuan Bao and his party didn't know that the fate of several of them had already been assigned by others, and Zhao Zhi had already handed over the training of the supplementary soldiers and the work of the squad to send supplementary troops. Roger's ability is obvious to all, and instead of letting the doglegs fight around, it is better to let Roger assign personnel according to the training of the reinforcements.
In the first battle of the mountains, the scout team of the direct company suffered heavy losses, and only 10 of the 40 scouts were left in the end. So as soon as the 300 reinforcements arrived in the mountains, they were pulled into the mountains by Roger for training, and Zhao Zhi was looking forward to selecting qualified scouts from them. Roger's temper is as great as his ability, and he is rarely strict when training, and if there is a slight mistake, he will clean the toilet at the lightest, or run around the mountain position in full gear for half a day, and the supplementary soldiers are afraid of him.
Yuan Bao has been staying in the logistics team with the rich man, and now that the number of combat soldiers is insufficient, Yuan Bao has participated in the training with the rich man, in a vain attempt to blend into the scout team. The three fists of the directly subordinate company: the artillery team, the sniper team, the scout team, and the ingots of the artillery team should not be thought about, the first will not be able to calculate the coordinates, and the second will not have enough strength. The sniper team is even stricter, Yuan Bao just runs a little, and the rotten marksmanship is not as good as Zhao Zhi. In the end, only the scout team remained, and Yuan Bao relied on his ability to run, and the speed was very high, so he thought about blending into the scout.
But Roger's training has always been very strict, and Yuanbao, who always likes to talk during training, has been punished by Roger several times, and even Hu Guang, who is with him, has also suffered from it. Fortunately, after they were punished, Roger still treated them like everyone else, otherwise Hu Guang would have been reluctant to be in the same group with Yuanbao for a long time.
Today's training session is hidden, and to put it bluntly, it means hiding from being discovered by others. More than 300 people were thrown into this large forest, hid as they wanted, and finally the five scouts who were left of the original scout team came to find them. The first 100 people to be found will run back to the camp in full gear, while the others will have two hours to hunt and enjoy the prey they catch. Although the supply of the subordinate company is sufficient now, it is always canned bread, and everyone wants to change the taste, so this hunting has become a happy time after everyone's daily training.
Roger also has no choice, he has been resting in Xinpingyang for half a month, and the headquarters will not let his direct subordinate company hide behind and sleep in vain. These days, the friction between the front line of the Dalong River and the Japanese army is very intense, and for several days there are truckloads of wounded soldiers being transported back to Xinpingyang, and Roger feels that he will let his subordinates be connected. Scouts are the eyes and sharp knives of the troops, but in the face of 300 reinforcements of mixed quality, it is simply not enough to select qualified scouts from among them.
Roger, who had nothing to do, finally lowered his head for the first time and asked Zhao Zhi for advice, Zhao Zhi's idea was actually very simple, pick out veterans to train alone, after all, veterans who have seen blood and experienced the baptism of the battlefield are incomparable to recruits. With the purpose of giving it a try, Roger followed Zhao Zhi's suggestion and gathered more than 80 veterans in the supplementary army to train by himself. The other reinforcements have the original 5 scouts to train, and see if there are any guys in them who can be scouts.
Once a week, after two consecutive assessments, Roger still has 70 veterans in his hands, and Roger secretly increased the content of training while admiring the excellent veterans. Anyway, the direct company is now eating and drinking, and there are doctors to take care of it, even if it is injured, it doesn't matter.
Compared with Roger's anxiety, Zhao Zhi and the other officers seemed to be a little unprofessional, and every day in addition to playing cards and chatting, they went up the mountain to hunt and barbecue. In particular, the old cannon and Edward claimed that they only needed 30 strong reinforcement shells, not so well trained, as long as they had strength.
Uncle Guo came to see a few times from time to time, and successively picked up more than 20 supplementary soldiers with good marksmanship. The battle in the mountains made Uncle Guo see the benefits of snipers, and he planned to expand the establishment of reserve snipers and bring out a sniper reserve team. As soon as there are sniper casualties or weapons are in place, the reserve gunner can be pulled up to fight.
The officers privately transferred the soldiers, Zhao Zhi never interfered, the direct company has always been short of soldiers, only by putting the soldiers in the most suitable place for them, the combat power of the direct company can be maximized, this is what Zhao Zhi has known for a long time, and it is also what Edward always whispered in Zhao Zhi's ear, and his ears were calloused when he listened.
Zhao Zhi has been staying in Xinpingyang, the biggest reason is that he is waiting for Catherine, the new airport is about to start, the airport requirements for this kind of small aircraft are not very high, and the speed of construction is very high. As long as there is an airport, Catherine can come to Shin Pingyang at any time, which is the result of the remnants of Linda's uncle. Catherine and Maotou, who returned to Ramgarh, sent more than a dozen Burmese jadeites at the cost of transferring Catherine to the newly built airport in Xinpingyang.
The gold and jade seized during the Karaka rescue have always been taken by the rich man, and if they are always placed in the army, something will happen sooner or later, Zhao Zhi wants to send these things back to Kunming and hand them over to the profiteers, these are the things that the brothers fought hard for, and Zhao Zhi didn't dare to throw them away. Now the most important question is when will the airport be built? When will Catherine be transferred to New Pingyang?
Zhao Zhi is not a greedy person, but he has always rushed to eat the meat that he puts in his mouth, so there is no reason to throw it away for no reason. The brothers came to fight, not only to fight the little devils, but also to have enough to eat, and those who left their homeland came to fight so far away, and no one cared about the dead and wounded.
"Sir, telegram from the headquarters" Yan Shijun trotted around for a long time before he found Zhao Zhi and a few of them who were roasting meat in the forest. The level of the old cannon's barbecue is getting higher and higher, but just a little bit of prey, if it was in the camp, it would have been robbed long ago, so Zhao Zhi and a few officers simply hid in the forest to barbecue, and then went back to the camp when they were ready.
"Let's read it, let's see what kind of demon moths they can come out of?" Zhao Zhi's hands were full of oil, and he tilted his head to signal Yan Shijun to read the content of the telegram. The telegram from the headquarters was very simple, that is, Zhao Zhi should seize the time to rectify the training, and the company directly under him would soon go into battle. The friction between the Japanese army and the expeditionary force on the front line of the Dalong River has been somewhat fierce recently, and many sections of the river have been broken through by the Japanese army, and the expeditionary force troops deployed along the river are a little unbearable, and the bigwigs think of Zhao Zhi who is training in Xinpingyang.
"Damn, we've only been resting for a few days, and I just wanted to let us go to the gun hole of the little Japanese son, these guys are really not things" The old cannon viciously stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth, and chewed it desperately, as if the meat he was chewing in his mouth was cut from the bigwigs in the headquarters.
"Don't talk about those useless ones, if the troops in front collapse, we will have to retreat into the forest like last year" Zhao Zhi reprimanded the old cannon lightly. When they talked about the rout and evacuation last year, everyone lowered their heads with palpitations, and the disaster brought them too many pains and memories, which were the hidden pain and scars that they had been avoiding talking about.
"Go back and call back to the headquarters, the recruits of the direct company have not yet completed the training, and it will take time. If the headquarters has to attack directly under the company, then we can only send a small detachment of 40 people, and the wounded and recruits still need to rest" Zhao Zhi wiped the oil stains on his hands on the steamed bun, threw a rabbit leg to Yan Shijun, and told him to go back to the camp to send a report to the headquarters.
"Shall we really go? What can 40 people do? The dog was bored with the branches of the tree to stir the bonfire, and the rising soot was all over the rabbit that the old cannon was roasting, and the angry old cannon slapped the dog on the head like two slaps.
"Have you all forgotten how many of us were there when we came out of the jungle last year? What kind of guy did we use back then? What is it in use now? Zhao Zhi looked around at the others, and his tone was slightly raised.
"Isn't that what the dog meant?" The goat, which was still wrapped in gauze around his waist and abdomen and head, comforted Zhao Zhi, the goat's injuries were improving, but the gunshot wound between the waist and abdomen had not yet healed, and the stone scratch on the head had already been scarred. It was a little troublesome to send barbecue back and forth to the ambulance, so Zhao Zhi simply brought the goat and machete to the forest to eat the barbecue and then sent it back to the ambulance.
"I know" Zhao Zhi touched the dog's head with his hand and rubbed the place where he had been photographed by the old cannon. The casualties of the direct company in the battle of the mountains were too great, and everyone was saddened, and if the troops that came to support had come earlier, they would not have killed so many brothers in the battle. The old foundation of the direct company has been cleaned up, and there are less than 25 doglegs left who have been following Zhao Zhi, and this includes the dozen or so female soldiers.
"Let's go, let's go back and discuss it and see what to do? You can't disobey the orders of the headquarters, and if you disobey the order on the battlefield, you will be shot" Zhao Zhi bent down and put the goat on his back, and led out of the forest and went straight to the camp.
"Hey, hey, wait for me, this rabbit will be roasted soon" The old cannon was still holding his rabbit on the bonfire, and when he saw that everyone was getting up to leave, he was a little anxious. "You know how to eat, foodie," Changmao looked disdainful, snatched the rabbit that was about to be roasted in the old gunner's hand and threw it into the bonfire, and Kaka shoveled up the soil with a few sapper shovels and buried it cleanly. /AUT
