Chapter 43: Going Out
"Ladies and gentlemen...... I know that you are all very grateful to Captain Chu now, and think that he is a bold, enthusiastic, and righteous person, right? ”
"Brother Su, isn't it?" Xiaoyu blinked her big eyes and wondered.
"Hmm...... So to speak. Su Jin nodded and said, "But our ancestors also said that if you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief." Of course, I'm not saying that Head Chu is a bad person, I mean that people are helping us arrange a place to live and prepare for us, why? Is he your own father? These things are not given for free, this is all a favor, and you have to pay it back, do you understand? ”
"Well, what Brother Su said is reasonable." Li Wei agreed: "Although we are bearded...... Yes...... Wrong ......" Speaking of this, Huang Weiguo saw Su Jin's eyes glaring, and quickly changed his words: "Of course, we are not bearded but a militia now, but since we owe favors, we have to pay it back, otherwise we will be looked down upon, Brother Su, do you think this is the reason?" ”
Without waiting for Su Jin to speak, Zhang Danian also echoed: "That's the reason, although we are all born with beards, but the emphasis is on revenge and kindness, since we owe such a favor to Captain Chu, we naturally have to pay it back." ”
Looking at everyone as a matter of course, Su Jin really smiled bitterly, don't these people know that this favor is not so good? If you don't do it, you'll have to pay it back with your life.
Su Jin, who was in no mood, chatted with everyone for a while and then sent them away, and in the end, only Zhang Xiuniang and Xiaoyu were left.
"Brother Su, what are you leaving me and Miss for here? It can't be something bad, right? ”
Before Su Jin could speak, Xiaoyu on the side rushed to ask the first question.
Su Jin knew that this little girl was still remembering the last revenge, so he ignored her, but walked into the house by himself, and soon he walked out and handed a package to Zhang Xiuniang.
Zhang Xiuniang took the package and opened it, and found that there were two sets of military uniforms inside, she was a little stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked to the side and saw Su Jin's smiling face.
"What's that, embroidery girl, we are now a militia group, I just thought that your dress can no longer be as casual as before, there are two sets of military uniforms here, you and Xiaoyu wear it, so that you can follow the troops in the future."
Looking at Su Jin's grinning face, Zhang Xiuniang's face, which had originally regained its calmness, began to turn a little red again, and she glared at Su Jin coquettishly and walked out of the courtyard without saying anything. And Xiaoyu also walked out behind her own young lady, and before leaving, she made a grimace at Su Jin and said, "Hmph, you don't want me and Miss to wear this kind of clothes to show you!" ”
After more than ten days, life was very peaceful, and after settling the old and weak women and children in Erlong Mountain, Su Jin could be regarded as letting go of a big burden, and he could devote his energy to the training of the troops, and he also took advantage of these days to recruit more than 100 recruits, which also made the strength in his hands reach more than 360, which initially reached the standard of a battalion, but there are more headaches in the future.
"Brother Su...... Oh no, Captain, we still don't have enough weapons, what should we do? On the training ground, Su Jin, who was dressed in military uniform, was watching a group of recruits conduct queue training, and Huang Weiguo on the side was pouring bitter water on him.
As soon as Huang Weiguo finished speaking, Zhang Danian also complained: "Also, our manpower has increased, but the consumption of ammunition for live shooting has also increased, and now our hundreds of people have an average of seven or eight thousand rounds of ammunition per day for training alone, and most of the ammunition we have stored has been used in just a few days!" ”
"Yes, and our military uniforms are not enough, originally we only issued a set of combat uniforms for each person, but the brothers must have happy clothes, and now it seems that we have to get another set for each person." Li Wei also joined in the fun.
Hearing this, Su Jin only felt that his head was big, and he waved his hand impatiently and began to drive people away: "Okay, okay, I'll find a way to find a way for these things, you all get out of here now, stay cool!" ”
After driving these people away, Su Jin strolled on the training ground alone while thinking about things.
As the saying goes, if you don't know the price of firewood and rice, after finally arranging those old and weak women and children, the problem of the army has arisen again, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of people are not a small amount every day, and the most important thing is the ammunition used in the training of the troops, which is the most headache for Su Jin.
Of course, if Su Jin doesn't want to be so troublesome, he can naturally be lazy and relax his training, so naturally he won't have so much trouble, but Su Jin doesn't want to do this, he knows that if he does this, it seems to be easy, but it will not be good for him in the future.
Due to the national situation, almost all of today's recruits in the national army are illiterate, and it is not easy to train these people to become qualified soldiers.
In the past few days when he came to Jue County, Su Jin also visited the 276th Regiment under Chu Ziying, and he was very shocked by the scene he saw.
It stands to reason that the task of being a soldier is to train and fight, and they don't have to pay attention to other things, but what Su Jin saw was not like that. What Su Jin saw was that nearly half of the more than 2,000 soldiers of the 276th Regiment did not need to train on weekdays and did chores every day.
In the early days, the troops of the national army did not have modern transportation, communications, and organizational structure, so they had to do everything by themselves; taking a company of troops as an example, on weekdays, they had to receive food, receive fodder, carry firewood, and grind wheat, and these chores would occupy 1/3 to 1/2 of the manpower of a company, and when fighting a war, the soldiers often could not hold their breath and shoot and throw prematurely, throwing and placing them everywhere, resulting in premature exposure of targets. The Japanese artillery was given a good target for shooting. Due to the lack of nutrition and poor physical strength, the soldiers often cannot take advantage of white-knuckle warfare, and there is not enough training in charge and melee combat in the position, they just blindly shout and kill, shout and rush, and become a mess, compared with the Japanese army, it is not a star and a half, such a force is definitely not what Su Jin wants.
"No, if you continue to spend here, you can only wait for death, if the army wants to develop, you have to go out, and only by going out can you get a lot of energy points!"
Thinking of the end, Su Jin finally figured it out, although it seemed safe to stay here, but he also lost the opportunity to obtain energy points, although he could occasionally get some scattered energy points in the city, but he couldn't meet his needs at all, according to his estimate, if he wanted to change all the clothes for the people under his command, the energy points needed were massive.
