Standing flat with a rifle weighing more than a dozen pounds for a long time, there was actually a pot full of water in front of the gun. When to train until half an hour with the gun flat, and the gun body is still hanging with a water bottle, the gun body does not move at all to be considered qualified. Even though it was winter, the training made everyone feel hot.

Of course, Li Ziyuan was reluctant to take a good gun and train like this. Heavy things are hung on the body of the gun, which can easily cause the barrel to deform. The original Japanese firearms are better, but if the steel quality of the gun is slightly worse than the domestic rifle or the Jin rifle, it is more likely to cause damage or deformation.

Most of the guns used in this training were broken on the battlefield and could no longer be repaired. Or it was collected from the militia, and the rifling was smoothed, and the bullets went sideways. It's not a classic gun with a special bullet caliber and no place to find it.

These militiamen stood trembling as they held the old guns in their hands. Only then did I know why the superiors required all those who had weapons to carry weapons before coming to the training. Weapons that are found to have a scarce number of bullets or are too old will be recycled and replaced with new guns. The fact that the division has won two big battles in a row is known to these militiamen.

I thought I would really get myself a new gun, but who knew after I came. The original weapons are all handed over to the sub-district repair station for overhaul, and all that can be repaired are overhauled. It is really too old to be repaired, and it has become a tool in the hands of these militiamen to carry out assassination and aiming training.

With a few pounds of old guns hanging on them, these militiamen were really miserable. What they are good at is guerrilla warfare, and their weapons are as light as possible. Some people even sawed off their * for the sake of easy carrying. Carrying out this kind of training now is undoubtedly only painful for them.

However, after listening to the instructor sent by the main force, they told them that if the red bricks were not too difficult to find, and the green bricks were afraid of damage to the guns, they would not have been hung with a water bottle, but four or five red bricks. These militiamen immediately stopped complaining. A pot full of water for the Japanese army is only a few catties, and the two red bricks are heavier than this weight.

As the first training camp, Li Ziyuan extended the militia training time to two months. With two counties as a training echelon, a formed company was transferred from its old unit for training. The camp began in early November and was not released until the Lunar New Year.

The militiamen, who have been tormented by various trainings such as live firing, bomb throwing, basic tactical training, and emergency assembly at night, have not yet finished the Spring Festival at home. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the backbone of the militia and those above the militia squad leader level received another notice of a one-month intensive training.

In the old army, it was about breaking five and going out of the exercise. That is to say, for the army, the fifth day of the new year is equivalent to the end of the New Year. But for the common people, as long as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is not over, it is still a year. For the New Year, who wants to suffer that hardship. The training camp a few years ago was quite impressive for these people.

This news was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the backbone of the militia, as well as for the squad leaders of those militia companies. has been tossed for a whole month and a half, and finally the New Year is over, but it is not over. After all, for Chinese farmers who have been busy with spring planting and autumn harvest for a whole year, the slack time after the autumn harvest is the only time of the year when they can rest.

Even winter wheat growers don't have to hoe grass in the field because of the weather. The year is busy, and I can be more idle in the past few days of the New Year, and my wife and children are hot on the kang, not to mention how comfortable it is. But the only rest time was also stirred up by Li Ziyuan.

Many militiamen, especially the most powerful cadres and cadres who have been trained, criticize Li Ziyuan in their hearts that Li Ziyuan is definitely not from a peasant background, and they don't know how tiring it is for the peasants to do farm work for a year. Many people even speculate that the new head of the military sub-district is not from a landlord's old fortune background.

It's just that criticism is criticism, but no one dares not to come to Li Ziyuan's order. This is because Li Ziyuan has repeatedly stressed that if militia cadres at all levels do not come, they will all be dismissed from their posts on the spot and the militia ranks will be cleared out. In addition, those who come will be subsidized with 50 catties of millet and 5 catties of white flour per person. Those who do not come will not be reissued.

These two requirements make it necessary for all people to report for duty no matter how reluctant they are. For these ancestors, perhaps for generations, they are all militia cadres with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky. Even if they are only a militia captain or squad leader, they are most likely the only people in the family who have ever served as an official.

Although these officials are all non-full-time personnel, there are only a dozen or so people who can command, and even a few in smaller villages. Usually I have to work in the field, and I have to be busy with back pain, but no matter what, at least I am an official. Usually in the village, it is still very majestic to command the team members to stand guard and sentry.

At least everyone has seen it, and it must be different. But this time, the attitude of the superiors is so tough, if he is really dismissed, not only will he be embarrassed, but he will also be difficult to explain to his family. Trees need bark, people need faces, don't they? Do you still want your old face?

Although the other fifty catties of millet is not much, how much is it some grain, isn't it? Anyway, it's still early for farm work, and how can I get the second lunar month when I am ready to plant. I will receive 50 catties of millet in this half a month, which can be regarded as a certain subsidy for the family. At least during the spring famine, the food at home was a little loose.

What's more, there are five catties of white noodles. If you are a little greedy, you can make a few dumplings when you go home. If you're a little more frugal, it's not bad to mix in a little cornmeal and get some heterozygous noodles. In these years, even farmers who farm the land are reluctant to eat a little white flour after a hard year. It is also weighed two pounds of thick noodles during the New Year's Festival, and the whole family will make dumplings on the Chinese New Year's Eve.

With these five catties of white noodles, you can improve and improve the food for your wife and children when you go home. Under the coercion and temptation of Li Ziyuan's carrots and sticks, these militia cadres and backbones, that is, candidates for reserve squad leaders, also reported on time. They don't know that in the near future, they are very likely to say goodbye to the days of hot kang heads for their wives and children.

And these backbones will immediately feel what is called cramming. Instead of filling the ducks, they were unfortunate enough to be the ducks that were stuffed into something. All the lessons in this training camp were stuffed into their heads like fodder.

Every day, students study the platoon command course, earthwork, the use of light and heavy machine guns, and the setting and vigilance of marching routes. Even in the evening, as in the case before the Spring Festival, we had to learn about culture. Not only literacy, but also learning some simple addition and subtraction. Some who are literate themselves learn to read maps and compasses.

They even sent a group of militia cadres from various counties to learn how to shoot mortars and heavy machine guns. Just one Zhuyuan calculation will make these militia cadres with a very low level of education, and even many people who can't read a single word, toss and make them unbearable.

These militia cadres and backbones, who have been turned on by the big heads, are exhausted by the training. It can be said that it is much more tiring than they are farming in the countryside. At the end of the day, there are few who don't have backache and leg pain. They all have a question in their hearts, they are just a militiaman, why do they have to learn mortars and heavy machine guns?

Could it be that the main forces are so abundant that they now have to issue heavy machine guns and mortars to the militia? Unlike ah, there are not many heavy machine guns and mortars in several main forces? What kind of tricks are you playing in the head of this superior leader? These confused guys, after all kinds of inquiries have not been answered, can only honestly train these things.

The military cadres in the army are all fought one battle after another. He has rich combat experience and is quite solid in military quality. Even if you enter the teaching team, it is basically at the level of advanced training. And to train these militia backbones according to the standards of military cadres in the army, there is not much time, so they can only come up with a cramming tactic.

When he was about to graduate, Li Ziyuan gave a big gift to these people who participated in the training. He first asked the engineer company to dig a trench waist-deep, but which could lie on its side. It was also erected with barbed wire in front of and behind the trenches, and then a heavy machine gun was erected 400 meters away, as well as a mortar a few hundred meters away.

When setting this plan, the following cadres reported that there were no high-end things like barbed wire in the subdivision. Li Ziyuan directly sent Liu Lianming's reconnaissance company and took the engineer company of the Second Regiment to Hubei County. In front of the Japanese puppet army defending the city, the barbed wire fence that the Japanese puppet army placed outside the city to defend against the sneak attack of Tuba Road was dismantled and transported away.

The Japanese puppet army defenders in the city watched the eight-way movements under the city, but they didn't even dare to let out a fart. In the end, Liu Lianming also trained a few puppet soldiers by the city gate, but those puppet soldiers just listened with a smile. Don't say angry, even the waist is not about to fall to the ground.

The barbed wire fence was brought back and erected according to Li Ziyuan's wishes. Then, after these militia cadres and backbones who had been trained entered the trenches and lay down, Li Ziyuan had people directly ignite the haystacks piled up in front and behind the trenches, creating a raging fire. It has not yet been the time for these militia cadres and backbones to figure out what their superiors are going to do.

The sound of heavy machine guns loading and firing, and the sound of bullets whizzing across their heads, made none of these militia cadres and backbones dare to move. They all threw their heads on the ground, not to mention raising their heads to see what was going on. Even lying in the trenches, they were covered in cold sweat.

At such a close distance, the bullet whizzed on the top of the head, and anyone would be afraid. Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns, this is a common saying in the army. These militia cadres and backbones are also people who have persisted in the struggle for many years. Although they are no strangers to machine guns, the distance between the bullets and the top of their heads is still terrifying.

Fortunately, the training during this period of time has formed a certain habit in their bones. When the bullet slashed overhead, no one looked up to see the Western landscape. When more than a dozen * exploded in front and behind the trenches, none of these numb cadres and backbones who had been trained paid any attention.

Of course, if they look up, they will see that the explosions * are not regular at all. It was Li Ziyuan, who specially made the special * made of the military region's repair weapons. Although the explosion was loud, if you want to say that the real lethality is basically at a level not much bigger than the second kick.
