Chapter 57: Survival of the Fittest
After taking care of the rout of the Tuwan containment station, Yu Dazhi took advantage of the victory to pursue and take down a number of rout shelters around Chongqing in one fell swoop, and gathered at least more than 10,000 national army rout troops for Zhao Zhi. There are good and bad in the rout, and what Zhao Zhi needs is those who still have blood in their bodies, so the routs who are called must first spend a period of training camp life, and Zhao Zhi must eliminate those who are not suitable to stay in the mercenary army.
"This is the Geyue Mountain Training Camp, a place dedicated to training elites, you can come here, it doesn't mean that you have become elites, I called you here because the place here is big enough to fit all of you. It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and you'll have 15 hours to rest, eat, change and pick out a pair of suitable shoes, because tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock, you'll be leaving for the training base in Kunming."
"Shut up," Yu Dazhi, who was carrying an iron horn, yelled, "We only need those who are like us, and people who are as weak as you are now are not qualified to enter the Thunder Force." Walking to Kunming is only the first test for you, there will be a national army along the way to protect you, provide you with food and water, you can also choose to escape, but then you will become deserters, you will be killed on the spot, you have to think clearly before making a decision"
The first batch of soldiers recruited by Zhao Zhi arrived at Geyue Mountain, and the agreement between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhao Zhi came into effect immediately, and the four reinforced regiments belonging to the national army sequence, totaling 8,000 people, were also ready to set off for training at the Kunming base. "This is a backpack, each of you should use it to carry 15 kilograms of Geyue Mountain stones before you set off, and when you arrive at the Kunming base, the instructor there will weigh your backpack, and anyone who is not enough will be eliminated by us" Yu Dazhi held up the backpack he had received in front of the rout.
Exercise the physical fitness of the defeated soldiers, this is the first meal prepared by Zhao Zhi for the defeated soldiers, the road from Chongqing to Kunming is very safe, but Zhao Zhi chose another road for them, Zhao Zhi chose a difficult mountain road for them, and on the way to pass through the territory of several mountain bandits, the weak eat the strong to survive, this is the eternal truth, Zhao Zhi's descendants only need the strong in the army.
A group of routs clamored to incite the routs around them to follow them loudly, they wanted to express their dissatisfaction in this way, but it was a pity that they were facing Yu Dazhi. A string of bullets hit the rout's feet, and the string of rising gray pillars and gunshots made the excited mercenaries stop in unison, "Whoever dares to cross this line will die, immediately" Yu Dazhi moved the muzzle of the gun down at the rout standing in the front row, and the surrounding mercenaries also stepped forward and put the submachine gun in their hands.
"Stand back for me" The grass snake raised its gun and "da-da-da" was another point shot, these extremely rotten guys just had two full meals and wanted to make trouble, it was just something that I didn't know what to do. The heavy machine gun on the suspension of the jeep was also pulled by the bolt, and the large-caliber bullets on the bullet chain made the routs frightened when they looked at it. The mercenaries under Yu Dazhi did not disappoint the routers, and directly fired a few shots at a steel target 100 meters away, allowing the routers to watch the steel target being smashed into pieces by bullets.
"If some of you want to play the trick of not being responsible, then try it, the bullets in my car are enough to kill all of you several times" Yu Dazhi took out a box of heavy machine gun bullets from the back seat of the jeep and threw it on the ground, the golden bullet chain was thrown out of the ammunition box and fell to the ground, causing the rout to take a step back in unison. There was a sound of neat footsteps, and the routs were surrounded by heavily armed Nationalist soldiers, two reinforced regiments of 4,000 men, who had been given the task of escorting.
"Why bother, why bother, isn't it just going to Kunming, let's just go" Yan Dapeng became a peacemaker, if no one stands up to play a round in the current situation, neither the defeated side nor Yu Dazhi can step down. Yan Dapeng's timely appearance eased the situation that was already a little out of control, seeing Yan Dapeng's words to restrain those routs, Yu Dazhi nodded at the mercenaries who operated the heavy machine guns in the jeep, and kept facing the heavy machine guns of the routs.
"Your name is Yan Dapeng?" Yu Dazhi looked at the name on Yan Dapeng's badge, he remembered that this person was the first person in the Tuwan Shelter to stand up and be willing to follow him. "Since you are an officer, these people are managed by you, and if half of them can make it to Kunming, you will become their commander."
"Sir, I'm afraid I can't do this, I'm just a small platoon leader, at most I have managed more than 30 people, and now it's 12,000 people" Yan Dapeng was taken aback by Yu Dazhi's words, he really didn't think that out of Dazhi, he valued himself somewhere, and he would let himself manage 12,000 routs.
"These people are divided into a team for every 1,000 people, I will appoint some people to be their commanders, you just need to command those who lead the team, don't you still have a whole platoon of brothers? They will be used as your guard platoon to help you, remember, the most intolerable in the army is the cowardly, as a commander who leads 12,000 people, you have to show some courage and means, don't let them underestimate you" Yu Dazhi looked at Yan Dapeng with some hatred. is such a guy, Yu Dazhi really doesn't know how he survived the pursuit of the Japanese army.
"What will happen to those who can't make it to Kunming?" Yan Dapeng asked a question that made Yu Dazhi almost collapse, because in Yan Dapeng's eyes, Yu Dazhi saw suspicion and distrust, as if Yu Dazhi would kill all those eliminated in the middle of the road.
"Don't worry, we don't start with the Chinese, those who fall behind will be taken in by those national troops, they will be integrated into the guard troops in Kunming, and continue to live the life they think they think is free" Yu Dazhi squinted at Yan Dapeng, and continued with a little ridicule, "If you want to live the kind of leisurely life made by Hanyang on your back, eating the last meal without the next meal, and not receiving the salary, you can be contained with them"
"Come on, I'm going to tell you about some of the simple training you need to do along the way" Yu Dazhi took Yan Dapeng and a dozen other people who were valued by him into the conference room of the training camp. There are a few things on the big table in the conference room, that is, what Yu Dazhi wants to explain to them, "Walking to Kunming with a weight of 15 kilograms is to exercise your physical strength, in order for you to adapt to the training base in Kunming as soon as possible, I have prepared some small activities suitable for you on the road."
Yu Dazhi picked up a bamboo arrow shaft from the table, "We are all equipped with hand crossbows, but steel crossbow arrows are too expensive to make and time-consuming, and you may also be issued hand crossbows in the future, so you had better try to make this kind of arrow shaft from the beginning of the road, and I will hand over the tools to you to make arrow shafts, I hope that when you arrive at the Kunming base, everyone will carry 300 arrow shafts" "This is a rope loop, a tool that we often use in field operations, It's not just a rope loop, we call this kind of rope ring a life-seeking ring, once you are caught in the neck by this rope trap, the strong person will not be able to breathe until suffocation to death. Before you arrive in Kunming, I hope you will be proficient in making this rope loop and using it, knowing that this rope ring will probably save your life on the battlefield."
"You will encounter a few mountain bandits along the way, but we will not issue you weapons, and you don't expect those national troops to help you, they look at you like a pile of garbage, although this garbage is huge" Yu Dazhi picked up a Japanese-style bayonet on the table, "This is a bayonet issued by the Japanese army, we captured it from the 225th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi, and another batch was mobilized from the Ministry of Military Affairs, I can only guarantee that you will be issued with one such bayonet for every two people, So if you want a weapon, go and grab it from the bandits, and the loot you grab is yours."
"What are you kidding? You let us take bayonets and fight mountain bandits? "Everyone including Yan Dapeng looked at Dazhi with suspicion, and in their minds, Yu Dazhi let them die. It's okay to talk about the barrels and rope loops, even if you don't give them weapons, but now it's a bit too much to say that they can use bayonets to fight the bandits.
"I want to join Thunder as a mercenary, but I don't even have the guts to do it. When I followed my husband into Shanxi for the first time to fight with the Japanese army, the weapons we used were all snatched from the Japanese army" Yu Dazhi said that it was obviously the matter of their original suppression of the Japanese army in Xiaozhangzhuang, as if they still hid a batch of weapons there, and I don't know if the *** people took away those weapons.
Yu Dazhi's first wave of recruit recruitment ended like this, and Yan Dapeng, who was dizzy by his words, took the rout soldiers on the road and headed for Kunming, which didn't know how far away. Yu Dazhi was not worried about them, after all, there were still 8,000 national troops guarding them, and all he cared about was the number of people who finally passed this foot training.
