That night, Xiao Siming may have been too tired and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Xiao Siming got up to wash, and he first practiced Yijin Jing and Shaolin boxing in the courtyard for a while, which allowed the trumpeter to blow the trumpet and order the troops to go out for morning exercises.

Morning drills are a must-have for any unit during their recuperation period.

The situation with the independent battalion is a bit peculiar. This unit was originally a wounded squad of the 685th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which was hidden in the Tibetan Mountains to recuperate. Since Xiao Siming single-handedly killed the devil squad, this wounded squad has only begun to return to the battlefield with injuries. Not to mention others, even Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui are both recovering from serious injuries and are not suitable for strenuous exercise. If it weren't for the little devils, they would have continued to hide in the cave behind the Tibetan Mountain to recuperate!

Each row gathered.

It may be that the continuous battle, plus yesterday's day to help the villagers put out fires and save people, the soldiers are very tired. In particular, the squad leaders of each platoon, some of them are recovering from serious injuries, and some of them are not recovering from serious injuries, and they should still be in the stage of recuperation. Like Cao Ming'an, the leader of the second platoon, he was still lying on a stretcher, but because he participated in the battle and went to the battlefield, as soon as the assembly number sounded, Cao Ming'an also struggled to get up, tidy up the second platoon, and walked to the street in front of the county government with the second platoon. In that way, let alone running, it would be nice not to be supported.

That's it, Xiao Siming didn't show any compassion, after the platoons were assembled, he just let Cao Mingan and a few other cadres and soldiers whose bodies had obviously not recovered stand by in place, and ordered Qiu Wei, the leader of the platoon, to serve as the officer on duty and lead the troops to conduct morning exercises.

Xiao Siming himself is at the forefront of the army!

Considering the physique of most of the soldiers, after Qiu Wei shouted the password, he led the troops to walk slowly first, and then jogged, and ran around the inner city before returning to the county government where the battalion headquarters was located.

At the end of the morning exercise, Xiao Siming made a comment, saying that today was the first exercise of the independent battalion, and because many cadres and fighters had not recovered and could not carry out high-intensity exercise, the morning exercise was not ideal.

Xiao Siming criticized several units by name.

The first thing to be criticized by Xiao Siming was the recruit team, saying that the recruit team was not out for exercise, but for the peasants entering the city, and when they went out for exercise, they couldn't even tell the difference between left and right, let alone any neat orders and strict military authority! The reason for this, Xiao Siming said: Objectively, the recruits were all just joined the army yesterday and the day before yesterday, and they were all peasants who had just dropped their hoes and had not yet had time to train. Subjectively, it was the recruit team leader who did not enter the role. After returning to the barracks last night, the leaders of the recruit team only saw that the new soldiers had also participated in the firefighting and rescue people, and they were so tired that they did not follow up in time to do ideological and political work, nor did they gather the team together for preliminary queue training, resulting in the fact that the recruit team could not even distinguish between the left and the right and left in today's exercise!

The troops are so tired, how could the leader of the recruit team think that Xiao Siming would gather the team early in the morning to exercise! They were caught off guard and rushed out as a team!

The second unit that was criticized by Xiao Siming by name was the artillery platoon.

Xiao Siming said that the soldiers of the artillery platoon are basically veterans who have been tested by war. However, during this morning's exercise, the artillery platoon was not in order, the pace was uneven, and the slogans were not loud, and they did not reflect the murderous spirit of the veterans who destroyed all the enemies. On the contrary, it embodies a kind of laid-back and free veteran oil habits. To get to the point, it is a kind of bandit habit that comes from the national * army! If this habit is not eradicated, it will be very dangerous. What can you do when you win a battle, but what if you lose a battle? Do we want our army to disperse as soon as it retreats, just like the Nationalist Army fought on the Pinghan Line, the Jinpu Road Battle, the Niangzi Pass Battle, the Taiyuan Defense, and the Songhu Operation?

When talking about this, Xiao Siming was a little excited, waved his arms and shouted: "The independent battalion must be built into a steel division that terrifies the Japanese invaders, an elite army that cannot be defeated or dragged down, and cannot be built into a garbage army with the style of bandits who can only fight with the wind and cannot be defeated!" In order for the independent battalion to develop and grow stronger and stronger, every soldier and every infantry squad must be politically reliable and have a high level of technical warfare! The soldiers and combat units of the independent battalion, when they encounter a strong enemy, fight to the death, survive in the face of adversity, fight their way out of the encirclement with the courage to the death and the high fighting quality, and never allow the phenomenon of the troops to break up, and never allow deserters, routs, and stragglers! ”

The third unit that was named and criticized by Xiao Siming was a platoon.

Xiao Siming said that the first platoon was the only full platoon in the whole battalion, and it played a backbone role in a series of battles to capture Yu County. However, judging from the situation of this morning's exercise, there is also the problem of untidy queues and lack of momentum in a row. Objectively, the troops fought continuously, and it was indeed too tired. Subjectively, the strings are still tight, and the understanding can't go up! The little devils don't care if we're tired or not, they can kill us at any time. A platoon must be vigilant at all times, ready to go into battle with high morale and determination to defeat all enemies! Therefore, all objective reasons are not the reasons for the untidy team, uneven pace, and unloud orders, but the real reasons must be found in the ideological style!

Xiao Siming criticized the three units by name in one breath, and among the three units, in addition to the recruit platoon, the artillery platoon and the first platoon were all meritorious units in a series of battles that attacked and occupied the county seat of Yuxian County, and they were not praised, but they were severely criticized by the acting battalion commander early in the morning, which made the artillery platoon commander Zhang Huaide and the platoon commander Qiu Wei have purple faces, and their mouths are full of hot air!

Wang Lushui was afraid that Xiao Siming would approve other units if he continued to talk about it, so he quickly coughed lightly, which meant to remind Xiao Siming that he was okay, don't approve it again!

I don't know if Wang Lushui's reminder has worked, or Xiao Siming himself didn't plan to approve all units, anyway, he next announced that from today onwards, the independent battalion will enter the period of recruitment and training, seize the rare battle gap, pay close attention to the ideological construction, work style construction, and military construction of the troops, and strive to keep up with the political outlook and technical combat level of the old main battalion of the 685th Regiment! During the rest period, we must insist on morning exercises every day, rain or shine, and thunder will not move! In terms of timing, every day after breakfast, military training is carried out. After lunch, rest for an hour and continue military training. In the evenings, political and cultural studies are organized in shifts. All cadres and fighters must learn cultural knowledge and take off the hat of illiteracy! Each platoon should organize technical competitions to discover and train sharpshooters, sharpshooters, stabbing masters, and bomb throwers.

As for how to train, Xiao Siming said that for the time being, the training method should be carried out by the cadres of each platoon in accordance with the training method during the Red Army period. The first is the training queue, to train the spirit and spirit, to practice the momentum of the mountains and seas! The second is to focus on training infantry in five skills: bomb throwing, shooting, stabbing, blasting, and earthwork. Third, it is necessary to train squad and platoon tactics, focusing on training movement under enemy fire and infantry, artillery and machine-gun firepower coordinated combat skills!

Xiao Siming announced that the independent battalion will hold a training team, with him personally serving as the leader of the training team, to concentrate on training combat backbones and squad and platoon cadres. In the future, the training team should be regarded as a separate combat unit, select strong and powerful cadres to lead it, and specially train platoon cadres and combat backbones for the troops. Those who have not entered the teaching team will not be promoted to company commander, instructor, battalion commander, or instructor in the future!

What makes the cadres and fighters even more excited is that Xiao Siming said that tonight, for the time being, there will be no political and cultural study, and each platoon will take the squad as a unit to summarize the battles and select the combat models, and will report to the regiment headquarters, brigade headquarters, and division headquarters to ask for merit for the comrades! In particular, it is necessary to find weak points, not too many, just find one or two points after a battle, and rectify them in a targeted manner to avoid making the same mistakes in the next battle! Another point is that in order to cooperate with the training and training, the battalion headquarters decided to allocate part of the seized funds to improve the food level of the troops. Every day, you should have a meat dish made of horse meat or canned beef, steamed buns, wowotou, millet porridge, and eat three meals a day! I took out the milk powder, canned beef, sugar cubes, compressed biscuits, and rice of the captured Japanese soldiers, and thought of buying some eggs and white noodles, accompanied by radish and cabbage and tofu vermicelli, so that the wounded could be fed well, heal their wounds as soon as possible, and strive to return to the battlefield as soon as possible!

This is a difficult era of the Anti-Japanese War, according to the standard of milk powder, eggs, and beef that Xiao Siming said, not to mention the Eighth Route Army system, it is the entire Chinese army, which is unique!

The independent battalion is a newly formed unit, and so far, it has not been contacted with the 685th regiment. There is only one battalion-level cadre, Xiao Siming, and he is temporarily designated by Wang Lushui! As for Wang Lushui and Chen Yisheng, one is the first deputy director of the political training department of the 685 regiment, and he sees that he is going to be the political commissar of the regiment or even a brigade-level leader in the future, and the other is the secretary of the central county party committee, so it is impossible for them to be appointed as leading cadres of the independent battalion. Therefore, the recruitment and training of the independent battalion can only be handled by Xiao Siming alone for the time being, that is, he alone has the final say!

This morning exercise was actually the beginning of Xiao Siming's announcement of the reorganization of the troops. He wants to take advantage of this rare time to make efforts to improve the training of the troops, and condense the independent battalion with complex composition into an elite with an iron plate! One by one, very significant!

Mei Ying, the chief of the medical department of the independent battalion, used a Nehleka camera to record the precious pictures of this morning exercise!

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one!

Xiao Siming's not too long speech made Wang Lushui even more surprised!

Wang Lushui knew very well in his heart that once he contacted the regimental headquarters, brigade headquarters, and division headquarters, and learned that he had recovered, the leaders would inevitably order him to return to the team immediately. The independent battalion, on the other hand, did not have to be pulled to Jinxi to move with the main force of the 115th Division. At this time, when the Eighth Route Army was in full swing behind enemy lines, one more unit could create one more base area and expand some more armaments. It is very likely that after contacting the regimental headquarters, brigade headquarters, and division headquarters, the higher authorities will order the independent battalion to act alone and go behind enemy lines to conduct guerrilla attacks. In this way, there is a greater need for strong cadres to lead this force. Xiao Siming's military quality Wang Lushui has already seen it, so I don't have to say it! Political quality, from Xiao Siming's speech, Wang Lushui has already seen it. It seems that Xiao Siming's resistance to the Great is not in vain, he is a cadre with absolute political quality and excellent military quality!

It was because of Xiao Siming's morning exercise speech that Wang Lushui felt that he could leave with confidence!
