Chapter 178: Development of the Army
After listening to what Liao Fan said, Sun Boyong's already not good-looking face became even more ugly: "Brother Fan, at the end of the year, I know that it is not easy for soldiers to fight hard, and if you want to reward them, you don't need direct money." "E Ξ©β‘ smallγ said. β
Liao Fan learned that Sun Boyong's strength in picking and searching came up again: "My brother said in the letter that all the money he got from the Kuomintang commissioner last time was taken out, because the amount was too large, the target was too obvious, and it was inconvenient to transport. My brother left 50,000, and the remaining 150,000 were all shipped back to us in batches, and I think I will be able to reach Taihang Mountain in a few days. β
"Okay, Brother Fan, everything is up to you, you can give as much as you say to the soldiers." Sun Boyong's face that had just cried and mourned immediately became excited again, really like the face of a child in early spring, and he changed when he said it.
"Of the 150,000, take out 30,000 yuan and give 10,000 to the three regiments and one regiment, so that they can also live the life of a rich man." Liao Fan wanted Ma Wanzhong and them to also experience the difficulties of managing logistics, so that they could also accumulate some experience in this area, after all, there are many skills that are not pressing, and there are more places to use money after going out, and the poor are rich, otherwise something goes wrong, and they are in urgent need of money, so they can't run back all the way to ask Sun Boyong for it, and the daylily will be cold by then.
"It turns out that I don't know how many of the 150,000 are left." Sun Boyong didn't expect to go out one-fifth of the way at this moment.
"Take out another 20,000, 15,000 for Huang Changsheng, and 5,000 for Liu Chundao. Lao Sun, I also share some pressure for you, too much money is put there for you, it is easy to exhaust you. Liao Fan knew that Sun Boyong must be unhappy, the money had not yet arrived in his hand, and he had lost 50,000 yuan.
"Brother Fan, you give us the money, where do we use it?" Li Weimin asked, a few of them usually don't spend much money, there is a canteen in the station, eat together, and there is no place to spend money.
"You won't make money, and you won't spend money?" Liao Fan said, "This money is the expenses of your various units for next year, and you can be in charge of your own family, so you can know how difficult it is to make money." It's so decided, if we want to expand the troops, we can't nest in Taihang and behave properly. β
One foot of Taihang Mountain has entered the winter, and the wind is cold, but the station of the 33rd Independent Division presents a thriving scene. After the battle had been over for such a long time, Liao Fan walked out of his headquarters in the real sense of the word for the first time to take a look at the newly recruited soldiers. Liu Chunjian followed behind Liao Fan, even more domineering, carrying the Wang Ba box on his waist, and holding the Japanese command knife captured by Liu Chundao in his left hand, so not majestic. Everywhere they passed, the soldiers nodded frequently, but the soldiers were more curious about who this little ghost who was following behind Liao Fan, who was even more domineering than their highest commander.
In such a cold weather, Liao Fan came out not for anything else, but to meet new soldiers, many soldiers were newly recruited, but most people had not seen Liao Fan.
On the training ground of the third regiment, Liao Fan saw that the soldiers of the original guard company were training with recruits, and these veterans had all become platoon commanders, but none of them were company commanders, which was Liao Fan's special request. Liao Fan told them that the position of the company commander is vacant, and it is for you people to compete, who has the ability to lead the soldiers, who is the company commander, and the platoon commander will not be able to do it when the time comes, so let you directly be the squad leader, so on the three training grounds in the station, the training of the three regiments is the most exciting one.
Liao Fan was very happy to see that the soldiers had this end, although they won the battle, the morale of the soldiers also dropped to the extreme, and this training method better boosted the morale of the soldiers.
"Spring Sword, go and call all the soldiers of the original guard company, I have something to say to them." Liao Fan found a clean place to sit down and said to Liu Chunjian, who was full of majesty.
Liu Chunjian was trying to show off the equipment on his body, just talking about the Wang Ba box on his waist, many officers were red when they saw it, not to mention that there was a Japanese commander's knife in his hand, although this knife was a copper-colored Japanese captain's command knife, many soldiers had never seen it. Liu Chunjian walked on the training ground with great martial arts, and Liao Fan didn't say anything because of this, because in his eyes, Liu Chunjian was still a child after all, and this knife was seized by Liu Chundao at the risk of his life.
A few minutes later, dozens of soldiers from the original guard company stood straight in front of Liao Fan, waiting for Liao Fan's lecture.
"Relax, find a place to sit down by yourself, I didn't come here for anything important, I just wanted to talk to you and talk to you or something, and then see how the soldiers you brought were." Liao Fan beckoned these dozens of people to sit beside him.
"Brother Fan, how is the injury of our old company commander? We haven't had time to see him for so long. "This soldier carried Liu Chundao back to the hospital from the Dahongshan Pass, and he hasn't seen Liu Chundao since then, after all, the training of the army is also very busy, and the hospital also has hospital rules, and you can't visit patients casually.
"Liu Chundao's injuries are much better, I ate a few roasted sweet potatoes in my headquarters last night, you sit down first." These soldiers were all brought out by Liu Chundao, and their feelings for Liu Chundao were no worse than those for Liao Fan, especially when Liu Chundao gave up his life alone, and was bombed beyond recognition, which made these soldiers even more guilty.
"Brother Fan, this battle is not fought well by our guard battalion, and it will be a shame for you." A warrior said with his head bowed.
"I can't blame you, you have fought well enough, you people alone have blocked the attack of a wing of the little devils for so long, although it still failed in the end, but on the whole, it has dampened the morale of the little devils' attack, so that the little devils only escaped back with a wing of a few hundred people." Liao Fan knew that the soldiers of the guard company were under pressure, so they trained desperately on the training ground, wanting to fight for the guard battalion.
Liao Fan continued: "I came this time to ask about your training, the whole station is the most energetic training in your area, I want to hear why you train like this." β
"Brother Fan, we are all holding back a lot of strength in our hearts, this battle is that our guard battalion did not receive your order to retreat, and finally let the little devil drive straight in, almost into our station, if it weren't for Captain Huang and the troops to arrive in time, I don't know what the consequences will be." It was the second platoon commander of the original guard company who spoke, and only this platoon commander of the guard company survived this battle.
"Are you sure you didn't train like crazy to fight for the position of company commander?" Liao Fan has been with the soldiers for a long time, and he can guess what the soldiers are thinking.
Hearing Liao Fan say this, several soldiers quietly lowered their heads, they were indeed fighting for the position of company commander in private, after all, half of the dozens of people had the opportunity to become the company commander, this opportunity was still quite big for them, and no one wanted to miss such a good opportunity.
"Competition is of course a good thing, but training fighters should also pay attention to scientific methods, especially not beating and scolding corporal punishment soldiers, after all, they are not like you have all experienced battles and have rich combat experience. Everyone has their own characteristics and specialties, so be patient with stupid fighters. If you train them like crazy, not only will it not work well, but it will also cause physical damage to the soldiers. Liao Fan carefully told them that the soldiers must be treated like their own brothers, but they cannot be separated from the concept of superiors and subordinates.
"Brother Fan, in the past few days, a few of us have indeed gone a little too far in private, and for the position of a company commander, we even conduct intensive training at night." A soldier who had just taken over as a platoon commander admitted that they were secretly fighting.
"You are all brothers, a company mixed up, but also followed me all the way over, not to mention your physical fitness, in terms of combat experience, it is more than enough to put in the position of platoon commander, but why not promote you to the company commander, the company commander is not only to lead the troops to fight and charge, but also to care about the soldiers under his command, understand each of them, and then match them reasonably, in order to exert the greatest combat effectiveness. I can tell you now that when the time comes, I will not only evaluate the results of your soldiers' training, but also you platoon commanders. Liao Fan knew that no matter how much he said, they should still compete when they went back.
"Brother Fan, what are you going to test for us?" Dozens of people looked at each other, their skills Liao Fan knew best, except for the second platoon commander who had been the platoon leader, the rest of the people were equal, and it could also be said that they were half a catty.
"Take the cultural class, and I will give you an exam paper and give you an hour to answer, which will account for about sixty percent of your total score."
"Ahh Brother Fan, no. Dozens of people exchanged heads and muttered something to each other.
"This exam paper is not difficult, as long as you can write, you can answer correctly, there is still a month before the New Year, after the New Year, I will arrange for you to take the exam, those who can't write should take advantage of this time to study hard." Liao Fan reminded these people, and each regiment will act alone after the year, and in terms of time, it is also just the right time to arrange the vacancy of the company commander, "Okay, stop muttering, after you go back, give the soldiers a day off, and continue to train like this, those soldiers with relatively weak physiques will be abolished by your training, take advantage of the free time today, hurry up and find a teacher for yourself to learn to write." I'm going to say the ugly things in front, if you are not qualified, I would rather let the position of the company commander be empty than consider making you the company commander again. β
Dozens of people watched Liao Fan and Liu Chunjian leave, not knowing what Liao Fan thought in his heart, only two or three of these dozens could write, and the others could write their own names, and they all learned after coming to the army. Give them a month to learn how to write, even if they are given a year, they may not be able to write well.
Liao Fan has his own ideas, the future of the army will continue to develop, whether a soldier has the ability to command combat is not terrible, the important thing is that they have the ability to learn, a unit willing to learn, can constantly master new weapons, invincible on the battlefield.
