Chapter 34: Hunger Training.
Shenquan Village, the courtyard of the Zhou family.
In the morning light, looking at the twenty militiamen standing crookedly in a row in the courtyard, Zhao Shixun frowned slightly. Since he joined the army at the age of seventeen, it was the first time he had brought such a dish.
In the morning, Wu Sunsin left, and also took the last two soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, Xiao Wu and Shishi, with him. Zhou Yu also left, and he was sent to the hospital of the Eighth Route Army in the rear by Lao Wu's people with two villagers.
Last night, after a heart-to-heart conversation, Zhao Shixun happily agreed to Lao Wu's request, temporarily stayed in the cottage to lead the militia, and welcomed the very likely sweep of the Japanese puppet army.
As for why Zhao Shixun chose to stay and take on this job, it is indeed not the so-called favor in the eyes of outsiders, and it is ...... righteousness.
Regarding this problem, Zhao Shixun actually has his own thoughts in his heart.
Since he joined the army at the age of seventeen, Zhao Shixun has always been a place to be stationed. After 918, from the northeast to this Zhongtiao Mountain, Zhao Shixun couldn't remember how many places he had stayed along the way. Maybe it's because I've walked too much and for too long, Zhao Shixun has been feeling tired lately, really tired, .......
Sometimes, he would inexplicably envy those dead Northeast Army brothers, because they finally didn't have to go anymore, and they already had a stable home.......
I remember when I first joined the army, my instructor taught Zhao Shixun to be loyal to the commander and the Northeast Army.
In 918, the commander told himself to listen to the young marshal and be loyal to him.
When he arrived in Rehe, Zhao Shixun was confused, he was loyal to the young marshal but was scolded by the people every day, and the students ran to him every day to question why he was not loyal to his duty as a soldier. I am a soldier, and isn't it my duty to obey orders?
Later, when he received the news that his mother and grandmother had died at the hands of the Japanese, Zhao Shixun was overwhelmed with grief and swore to kill the Japanese to avenge his relatives. Later, he withdrew to Shaanxi with the troops. Many brothers could not stand the white eyes of all sides, and petitioned one after another to kill the enemy and return to the northeast. Cho Se-hoon is also one of the most active ...... among them.
The bloody battle in Taiyuan, the lonely city broke through, and he was indeed wronged and imprisoned in a desperate situation, at that time Zhao Shixun was confused, hating himself for being too stupid and naïve, and he didn't know that he was used as a gun. It wasn't until he was accidentally rescued later, while Zhao Shixun was grateful to God, he vowed to repay Captain Tang for a lifetime of kindness, and vowed to follow him to kill the enemy and serve the country.
Later, Zhongtiao Mountain was defeated, the Third Army was annihilated, and the Tang Army Commander was martyred, and he fought his way out of the encirclement with the remnants of his own soldiers, and at that time he had only one simple purpose, that is, to live.
If it weren't for Nie Yunshan, Zhao Shixun would even want to take his good citizen certificate and live a stable life for a few days.
The appearance of Nie Yunshan can be said to be like a bolt of lightning, arousing Zhao Shixun's desire for revenge, and at the same time, it also gave Zhao Shixun a goal to fight for again, until the ambush failed.......
Although he was lucky to be rescued, the goal in Zhao Shixun's heart became blurred again.
Once upon a time, Zhou Yu was very naïve and naïve in Zhao Shixun's eyes, and the anti-Japanese brigade he formed made Zhao Shixun even too lazy to take a look. But it was these seemingly ridiculous rabble that once again ignited the flame in Zhao Shixun's heart.
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. I have been in the army for more than ten years, my stomach is full of ink, and I fell to the ground for something. For the country? The country is broken. For loyalty? The Lord is dead. For yourself? It's ridiculous. But it was here that Zhao Shixun felt that he could find the answer he wanted.
As soon as it was dawn in the morning, Zhao Shixun was woken up by a knock on the door. After hurriedly dressing and walking out of the door, I found that there were nine young men standing in the courtyard at some point.
After careful questioning, I found out that they were all villagers of this village. In the morning, as soon as the rooster crowed, he went out and came here, shouting that he would go into battle to kill the devils, almost unaffected by the militia who died in battle yesterday.
Last night, Lao Wu told himself that the Eighth Route Army and the militia were not paid, which means that these militiamen spontaneously joined the army to fight devils. At first, Zhao Shixun was a little unconvinced, it was a matter of course to be a soldier, and it was a soldier who didn't want to be a soldier. But now I was deeply shocked.
Looking at these dark, thin but immature young men in front of him, Zhao Shixun felt that it was indeed worth staying here! The Japanese invaders were rampant, high-ranking officials and officials fled or surrendered, and the warlords of various factions often only cared about preserving their strength, causing the rise and fall of the country to be disregarded, resulting in the defeat and defeat of the national army, and the withdrawal and withdrawal of the army. On the contrary, it is the small people in the countryside who are desperate!
……
In the mountains near Shenquan Village, Zhao Shixun led the militia to a hillside after marching for two hours.
Due to the imminent retaliation of the Japanese puppet army, Zhao Shixun knew that he had no time to engage in any basic training, so he decided to directly skip the queue training for the time being and start the positional warfare training that was urgently needed at present.
Among the twenty militiamen, eleven were militiamen who survived the last war, and they were veterans who had seen blood. Although the skills and tactics are average, the courage is okay. The remaining nine recruits have never been on the battlefield, and at most they can only fight positional warfare.
However, due to the victory of the ambush battle last time, the weapons of the Shenquanzhai militia brigade are not short for the time being. Hanyang made fifteen pieces, 79 bullets and more than 700 rounds. Six 38 large cover rifles, two crooked machine guns, 65 bullets and 760 rounds. As for the captured box gun, Zhao Shixun gave it to Zhou Yu, who went to the hospital to see a doctor, and he only left two bullets with magazines.
In terms of the distribution of weapons, all the militiamen who had served as hunters in the past, Zhao Shixun gave each person a 38 large cover rifle with 40 rounds of ammunition, and the rest of each person had 30 rounds of ammunition made by 79 Hanyang. As for those two crooked handles, these things are not veterans who can't use them at all, so they can only waste bullets in vain. For this reason, Zhao Shixun decided to keep one for himself, and put the remaining weapons and ammunition in the stockade.
For the purpose of universal ammunition, Zhao Shixun gave his lieutenant to the old immortal in exchange for his eighty-percent new 38 big cover rifle. Since he had to carry a crooked machine gun, Zhao Shixun asked the militia Xizi to act as his ammunition man.
Kiko has been laughed at by the other militia since she peed last time. However, Zhao Shixun saw that this kid was very clever, and his hands and feet were also sharp, so he let him follow him. As for the behavior of urinating on the battlefield, Zhao Shixun felt that it was nothing, after all, this kind of thing was too common. In the days when the brain melon skin flew bullets and grenades were carried out in the crotch of his pants, even the gods would urinate when they encountered them.
Before Lao Wu left, he gave this militia a slightly more formal name, called the Yuanqu County Shenquanzhai Militia Brigade. For the time being, it is counted as the anti-Japanese armed forces in the defense area of the 8th Regiment of a brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
As for what it is called, Zhao Shixun doesn't care. Anyway, as long as it's a team of anti-Japanese devils.
After letting the militia form a circle, Zhao Shixun picked up a shovel, found a position overlooking the mountain, threw off his arms and began to dig bunkers.
More than 20 minutes later, Zhao Shixun, who was sweating profusely, dug a double foxhole. After carefully spreading the excavated soil on all sides, Zhao Shixun also used weeds and branches to make a shelter around.
After doing this, Zhao Shixun nodded with satisfaction, jumped into the pit, and set up his machine gun, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the bottom of the mountain.
After doing this, Zhao Shixun turned around and looked at the militia behind him.
"Go down to the bottom of the mountain now, and don't look back all the way. Take a look at my position from the bottom of the hill and return to me in five minutes. ”
The surrounding militia froze for a moment, although they were a little puzzled, but everyone still walked down the mountain according to the order.
Ten minutes later, twenty militiamen returned to the top of the hill again.
"Well, have you found out where I am?"
When the militiamen heard this, they shook their heads.
"It's amazing that I didn't see it. When we went down the mountain, we couldn't find anything, this dirt pit was really godly, and we couldn't see it under the mountain. ”
"See, this is the foxhole! …… Positional combat, ambush essential bunkers. From now on, all of you will work in pairs and dig according to this foxhole of mine. It must be dug in twenty minutes. I'll go down the hill to observe, and if anyone's skirmish bunker is seen at a glance, lunch will be canceled! ”
"Ah......h This ......, this is too ruthless. If it doesn't work, dig a few more, and don't let you eat! ”
For these men in the mountains, they are never afraid of hard work, anyway, all their lives. What scares them the most is that they can't eat enough and go hungry!
"Ahhh Whoever is not convinced now stands up and I will see! ”
Jumping out of the foxhole, Zhao Shixun glared at every militia present, and a fierce murderous aura immediately emanated. Looking at the militia around him, he shuddered.
"I didn't ...... We have no ...... opinion. ”
"That's not going yet! Wait for lunch! ”
……
At noon, more than a dozen militiamen were gobbling up dry food, while behind them, several gray-faced men were swallowing saliva and looking at the nest in everyone's hands.
Zhao Shixun held a grass stalk in his mouth and leaned against a tree to look at a few hungry men squatting on the ground.
In doing so, it is not that Zhao Shixun is ruthless or deliberately makes things difficult, but it is really time to wait. After all, for these men who are digging in the dirt, it is nonsense for you to talk to them about discipline or verbal punishment and the like. Only hungry stomachs are the most memorable and most fearful.
And in Zhao Shixun's view, being hungry is nothing at all, it is much better than losing your life on the battlefield.
In this way, every day when he goes out early and returns late, Zhao Shixun keeps training these men. Although people are hungry every day, the progress is indeed visible.
Five days later, when Zhao Shixun was training the militiamen in the mountains to fight in formation, several villagers rushed to find them.
As Lao Wu expected, after the Japanese puppet army was attacked, it immediately strengthened the nearby security forces, and all pedestrians passing by must be strictly checked. Not only that, but the Japanese puppet army also formed several search teams to sweep the mountains, focusing on this generation.
Just yesterday, a team of 30 Japanese puppet soldiers swept through nearby Majiagou, looting and killing more than a dozen villagers who resisted. At this time, it is sweeping towards the generation of Shenquan Village in the west. Last night, many villagers of Majiagou fled to Shenquan Village to take refuge, and at the same time, they brought the news that the Japanese puppet army had entered the mountains to sweep up. When the villagers of Shenquan Village learned about it, they hurried into the mountains to find the militia brigade as soon as it was dawn, hoping that they could think of a way.
…… To be continued, ask for collection, ask for recommendation! Yesterday, the unit was too busy, and it was midnight when I came back, so I couldn't help everyone.
