Chapter 200: Training
(Reissue a chapter eaten by the system)
Zhang Chu set up a special expeditionary force for the attack on Yuncheng, and the unit was divided into two divisions, named the new first division and the new second division, each with 10,000 men. It was accompanied by a separate cavalry regiment and a chariot battalion.
Chen Qiang, the commander of the new first division, and Hu Zhiguang, the commander of the new second division, are only in their twenties, they are two young people who have read some books, and they joined the ranks of the security army very early, because of their combat bravery, they were promoted step by step, and they also received short-term training in the military academy of the security army. Zhang Chu's order was to transfer one-third of their men and horses, and then use new recruits to fill the gap between the old and new troops. The old units sent personnel to the new 1st and 2nd divisions in accordance with the order, and the grassroots soldiers in the security forces were overjoyed, a large number of soldiers and cadres of the old units were transferred, and there were a large number of vacancies in the troops, and many people would be promoted, and everyone saw the hope of promotion. The senior leaders were forced by the order, although they were reluctant to carry out the veterans, and besides, a large number of new recruits would be replenished later, and the strength would not be affected much.
Only Chen Qiang and Hu Zhiguang asked Zhang Chu to want more veterans on the grounds that the troops were about to go into battle, but they were coaxed back by Zhang Chu's scolding, "I want veterans to train by themselves, and recruits will naturally become veterans after the war." ”
Within the new 1st Division and the new 2nd Division, the fighting spirit was high, and all the veterans who had been transferred out were full of spirit, the officers had been promoted on the basis of the original, and even the ordinary soldiers had become squad leaders and platoon commanders of the new units.
The newly recruited recruits faced such a group of energetic and combative instructors and began a terrifying new training.
Recruit Guo Tiezhu has had a very unhappy life in the past few days. Guo Tiezhu was born in a military household, and was originally a man of Wang Chengen, the general soldier of Shaanxi, but when the attack was extended, he was stunned by the artillery and became a prisoner. Guo Tiezhu is as his name suggests, born strong, in recent years, due to natural disasters and the commander's deduction of military salaries, so that he often does not have enough to eat, the foundation of the body is still there, plus the inheritance of several generations of military households in the family, since childhood practice martial arts, he is confident that if he competes head-on with the security army, there are few people who are his opponents. After being arrested, after digging coal in the mine for so many days, Guo Tiezhu became happy, he was strong, willing to work hard, and was deeply liked by the foreman, and he always treated him full every time he ate. He thought that it would be good if he continued like this, that he would be able to eat well if he worked hard, and that he would be paid for a year of hard work. It's really much better than being a military household before, at least not starving.
When the security army came to the mine to recruit soldiers, Guo Tiezhu didn't take it seriously, he never wanted to be a soldier again in his life, he didn't know when he would die, and he would be exploited by the officials, and the little food and salary was not enough to feed himself, so it was better to be a worker in the mine safely and steadily.
Seeing that he was strong and skilled in martial arts, the foreman thought that such a good young man could not be buried in the mine, so he took the initiative to find Guo Tiezhu and asked him if he wanted to be a soldier.
"I don't want to go, it's good here." Guo Tiezhu refused on the spot.
"The salary of a soldier is several times that of a miner, and the army eats well, and it is full of food." The foreman knew what Guo Tiezhu was most concerned about.
"What's the use of having too much military salary, the officers are deducting at all levels, and there is not much money left in their hands." Guo Tiezhu hated the deduction of military salaries as an official.
"You can rest assured that the security army's salaries are paid in full. No officer will deduct your money, and if you do a meritorious service, you will receive additional rewards and maybe even land. If I had been a soldier at a young age, and I had won the battle under the leadership of the commander, the casualties of the security army would have been very small. "The foreman was very envious of the meritorious service on the battlefield and the acquisition of land, and suddenly became a rich man's soldier.
Guo Tiezhu thought that he had been preparing to fight on the battlefield since he was born, and he didn't have much fear of war. So Guo Tiezhu's life changed, he returned to the battlefield and exchanged his bravery for wealth.
Guo Tiezhu's tall and strong appearance made him easily pass the recruitment test, and he was assigned to the team along with other recruits. The commander in the team was really different from the officers and soldiers, he didn't beat and scold them, arranged for them to take a bath and change clothes, assigned them accommodation, and patiently asked them what difficulties they had.
The next morning, in the shrill horn, these recruits were called out of bed, the morning training began, after a simple activity, they were bombarded to run in the field, this matter is very simple for Guo Tiezhu, he easily ran back to the camp first, for which he was also praised by the squad leader, but he thought to himself: "The training of this security army is really interesting, how to fight without practice, how to run first, this is to prepare how to escape once defeated." ”
After breakfast, the day's formal training began, and at this time the original amiable commander was gone, and he became a fierce god, who shouted loudly, and still held a wooden stick in his hand, and unceremoniously went up to the soldier who made a mistake.
Guo Tiezhu, who was originally practicing a fighting fight or something, believed that he would definitely have no problem, but the chief asked them to walk around the school grounds, and they had to be uniform. As soon as Guo Tiezhu was distracted, he stepped on the wrong leg, and the chief hit him with a stick. But this stick is also very good, let him remember that the one that hurts is the left leg, in the next shouts from the commander left and right, he didn't make a mistake, looking at the few recruits who were beaten with sticks by the commander because of the wrong leg, Guo Tiezhu felt much stronger than them.
The following days were even more painful, the clothes had to be neatly dressed, the quilts had to be folded squarely, the military uniform had to be walked in a row of two people, three people in a row, and the chief had to salute, in short, a lot of rules.
Later, Guo Tiezhu admired himself very much, he had to remember more things than he had remembered since he was born, he actually wrote them down, he didn't remember it, he wasn't afraid of the chief's beating and scolding, after a long time, Guo Tiezhu found that the chief only beat and scolded people on the training ground, and the stick hit on the body only hurt and would not be seriously injured. I heard from the veteran that this is a commander specially approved by the commander to beat people on the training ground, and other places are not allowed. Beating and scolding people is common in the army of the official army, and Guo Tiezhu has long been accustomed to this.
What scared Guo Tiezhu the most was that there was a commander called the instructor in the team, he didn't beat or scold people, but he often said that Guo Tiezhu was embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
