The 256th Regiment held constant slogans on the training ground. Gao Quan is organizing the recruits to train according to his set of training methods, and he wants to train this unit into a unit like the 143rd Division and the 1st Battalion at the beginning.

The Ninth Army was not in the battle sequence of the Battle of Nanjing, and they were still stationed in Yicheng to rest. Gao Quan once made requests to the division commander, as well as Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu and Army Commander Guo Jiqiao, to go to Nanjing. It's the middle of November now, and the devils will attack our capital early next month! Reason told him that even if the military headquarters agreed to his request, he and his troops would not change anything at all, and even if the Ninth Army was all filled in, it would not be possible to change the outcome of that battle in the slightest, but he still wanted to go to Nanjing, go there to fight the little devils, and tell everyone in the capital, go quickly! Get out of the city!

After the Battle of Taiyuan, the Ninth Army suffered heavy casualties and urgently needed to rest. Regarding Gao Quan's proposal to transfer across theaters, Army Commander Guo Jiqiao unceremoniously rejected it. Guo Junzuo sternly told Gao Quan: Now his task is to bring his soldiers well and strive to train the troops to combat effectiveness in the fastest possible time.

Gao Quan's request was rejected, and there was a real fire in his heart. But what Guo Jiqiao said was right, when the whole regiment withdrew from the battlefield, there were only 500 people left, more than half of them were still wounded, and the new 500 people were all recruits who had just joined the army, and they had not experienced any military training at all. Most of them, before that, were farmers who only knew how to watch the sky and farm. What good can it do to bring these people to the battlefield other than to make them slaughtered by devils? Even if he was alone, desperately leaving the army and running to Nanjing, what could he do? Be a sniper? Kill dozens or hundreds of devils? Or assassinate a few Nakasa, Dasa, or even major generals? For more than 100,000 Japanese troops, what is the use?

There is nowhere to vent the fire in my heart, so I can only vent all my excess energy on the training ground.

With indescribable resentment, Gao Quan devoted himself to training. Those recruits who have only recently joined the army, or who have simply been captured, can suffer from old age. Every day as soon as it was dawn, I was woken up by the sound of the military horn, and for a whole day, I followed their crazy regiment commander on the training ground to play hard training, what queues, switchback runs, obstacle runs, military physical boxing, assassination, shooting, throwing grenades, climbing obstacles, crossing single-plank bridges, climbing barbed wire, I don't know where Gao Quan got so many ideas, all kinds of tricks emerge in endlessly, after a day of training, the recruits' bones are about to disperse, Gao Quan's order "Disband!" "It's the most beautiful sound they've heard in the world.

On the first day, as soon as the recruits heard about the disbandment, they immediately collapsed to the ground, not wanting to move, and Gao Quan then said: "All stand up!" Meet at the cafeteria in five minutes! ”

Well, the bodies of these soldiers, who already had no strength, immediately became full of strength as if they had taken stimulants, and they jumped up one by one, rushing towards the canteen like tigers descending from the mountain.

Soldiers who did not obey orders on the training ground and did not complete their training tasks were all punished extremely severely. There was once a recruit, because he didn't understand the training of the troops, and when he was in his hometown, he might have been a little hooligan and ruffian, when Gao Quan ordered everyone to run thirty laps around the playground, when this kid ran ten laps, he excused himself and refused to get up when he broke his foot. After Gao Quan came to check his "injury", he directly ordered this kid to jump on one leg for the remaining twenty laps, and this guy took turns jumping on one leg with two legs until noon.

How could the soldiers not be afraid of such a stern and almost perverted commander? At the door of the cafeteria, Gao Quan once again gave an order that surprised the recruits: "Ten minutes for dinner, ten minutes later, gather in the playground!" ”

After a day of training, the recruits were in pain all over their bodies, and they thought that they would lie on the bed at night and sleep well to relieve their fatigue, but who knows, the assembly number sounded again in the middle of the night, and Gao Quan, a pervert, actually asked everyone to get up in the middle of the night to gather and train urgently.

The training is hard, and the progress of the recruits is really obvious. After a week of training, these recruits who had wooden expressions when they first arrived now have a little murderous aura on their faces, their eyes are much brighter than when they first came, and even the muscles on their bodies are much stronger and more symmetrical than when they first came. The recruits are rapidly maturing, and the quality of the troops is rapidly improving.

If Gao Quan's training method continues, in a few months, this unit will become another strong force.

However, there are too many unpredictable facts in the world. On this morning, when Gao Quan was practicing on the training ground, Qian Sixi personally accompanied a staff officer from the military department to find Gao Quan, accompanied by another colonel officer.

"Regiment Commander Gao, now I have to announce the military order: Gao Quan is hereby appointed as the colonel of the newly formed independent regiment of the Ninth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the head of the 256th regiment, and he will be relieved of his duties immediately. Colonel Wei Zongliang was appointed commander of the 256th Regiment. This order shall be executed immediately. After the lieutenant colonel read out the order with a serious expression, his eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared on his face, "Commander Gao, do you have anything else?" If not, this will be handed over to Commander Wei and take office in the newly formed independent regiment, right? ”

The news came too suddenly, and Gao Quan was completely stunned. Fortunately, his years of scout career have made him much more adaptable to emergencies than ordinary people, and in just a few seconds, he knows that this order is a fait accompli and cannot be changed.

"Staff Officer Qiao, did the military seat say that let me bring some people from the 256th Regiment? I'm not familiar with the new independent regiment, so it's better to bring a few people over to get familiar with the situation as soon as possible, right? "Since the order cannot be changed, the only way to do it is to try to gain a little more benefit for yourself. Gao Quan was reluctant to throw Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi to others.

"It's nature, it's nature. Before handing over to Regiment Commander Wei, you were still the head of the 256th Regiment, and this kind of subordinate transfer, Regiment Commander Gao can completely make his own decisions. However, Commander Gao should also pay attention to the influence, and it is better not to follow the past personnel too much. "Staff Officer Qiao is afraid that Gao Quan will take away hundreds of people at once, and the 256th Regiment has lost too many veterans, so won't it be difficult for Regiment Commander Wei Zongliang to handle it in the future?

"No more, no less, I'll take a maximum of fifty people." Gao Quan replied with a smile as he replied to Staff Officer Qiao's words. When Staff Officer Qiao heard this, there were only fifty people, which was indeed not too many, so he nodded and acquiesced.

Staff Officer Qiao agreed, but it was not only Staff Officer Qiao who was present, but Commander Wei was also standing next to him, "Commander Gao, my brother is a newcomer, you took away fifty people at once, and took away all the elites in the 256th regiment, brother will not be able to do it in the future." "It's easy to handle things over there, but it's not easy for the 256th Regiment to handle them. If Gao Quan takes away all the battalion and company platoon commanders of the 256th Regiment at once, what will you let Wei Zongliang take to lead the troops?
