Training is always boring, and for the more than 20 teenagers brought by Village Chief Xu, they are essentially a group of illiterate peasants, coupled with long-term malnutrition, and their bodies are low.

It was only less than an hour or two of the most basic physical training, and they couldn't bear it at all, but no one quit, and they all held on hard in one breath.

Standing on the edge of the threshing floor, Qiao Youhua fell into deep thought.

Since the teenagers were physically weak, Jiang Haidong changed their running and push-up training to gun training, and all the previously seized 38 big covers came in handy, and the insufficient ones were replaced with wooden sticks.

The sniper Jiang Haidong was pointing from the side, and Wu Ming took the opportunity to walk towards Qiao Youhua.

"Head, this can't be done, these stinky boys are hardworking, and they are honest and honest to manage, but their physique is too weak, so we have to find a way to strengthen them." Wu Ming to Qiao Youhua built yì.

Qiao Youhua nodded thoughtfully, he was thinking about this question just now.

"The most basic thing to do is to improve their diet, as long as the nutrition can keep up, supplemented by reasonable training, it won't be long before they become as strong as calves. It's just that you have also seen the situation in the village, the lack of materials is terrible, and it is good to be able to eat well, where is there extra money and food to improve the food for our recruits. Qiao Youhua frowned.

"If there is no village in the village, we will rob it." Wu Ming blurted out.

Qiao Youhua's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he glared at him and said, "Wu Ming, you remember to Lao Tzu, never forget that you are a soldier and a soldier of the people." ”

"Boss, you misunderstood, I mean to rob the little devils, not the people, can I do that kind of thing?" Wu Ming looked aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law, and the dragon king's tiger might still made him feel worried.

Qiao Youhua's face softened a little when he heard this, and nodded: "This is also a way, it's not bad, you have to reconnoiter first and then make plans, in this way, you continue to practice, and I will go to the village chief to find out the situation." ”

When Qiao Youhua came to Xu Youcai's house, he was eating, he had been busy all morning, and he was watching the training at the threshing floor at the head of the village just now, so he could not care about having breakfast.

"Qiao Zhuangshi, you are here, sit down." Xu Youcai saw Qiao Youhua coming, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Qiao Youhua smiled and said, "Grandpa Xu, don't be polite, and don't call me a strong man anymore, just call me Youhua or Xiao Qiao." ”

"Hehe, that's good, I'll be called Youhua in the future." Xu Youcai smiled with satisfaction and asked, "By the way, suddenly came back to me, is there something wrong?" ”

"There are some things, I want to ask Grandpa Xu about the situation in Zhengding County." Qiao Youhua paused and continued: "The recruits' physique is relatively poor, and I want to improve the food for everyone, so I want to inquire about the situation of the devils in the county, and see if there is a chance to do him and take a batch of supplies from the devils." ”

Xu Youcai groaned when he heard this: "I really knew some about the situation in this county before, because Yu'er and his father worked as coolies in the county, and every time he came back, he could bring back some relevant news." It's just that now that the Japanese have entered the city, he hasn't been back for almost half a month, and I don't know what the situation is in the county now. ”

"That's it." Qiao Youhua thought for a while and said, "It seems that I have to go to the county seat to see if I can rescue Uncle Xu." ”

"Youhua, that county is now the Longtan Tiger's Den, it's very dangerous, don't take the risk lightly."

Qiao Youhua said with a relaxed smile: "Grandpa Xu, don't worry, with our brother's skills, it is not a problem to enter the county seat, and if we can save Uncle Xu, not only can we reunite your family, we can also get Uncle Xu's help, after all, he knows more about the county and the surrounding situation, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”

"Then I'll thank you on behalf of Yu'er's poor child, you must be careful!" Xu Youcai said with a grateful face.

…………

Qiao Youhua returned to the threshing floor, and Wu Ming greeted him and asked, "Head, how is it?" ”

"Pack up and follow me to the county seat." Qiao Youhua said.

"To the county seat? Right now? Wu Ming's eyes were suddenly full of excitement when he heard this, yesterday's battle was simply a small fight, and killing devils was not enjoyable at all.

"Yes, now."

"Do you want to bring the guys?" Wu Ming's face was full of excitement and asked.

Qiao Youhua pondered for a while and said: "The devil's equipment is not easy to carry, we may have to save someone this time, bring our own equipment." "With these equipment in hand, even if he encounters a squadron of devils, Qiao Youhua has the confidence to deal with them, even if he can't be wiped out, it is not a problem to retreat.

"Okay!" Wu Ming immediately turned around excitedly and ran towards Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao, conveying Qiao Youhua's instructions.

In a short time, the four of them were fully armed, with Type 95 assault rifles, Type 88 sniper rifles, Type 92 automatic pistols, triangular spurs, and 82 grenades.

However, in order to strengthen the firepower, Qiao Youhua and the four of them brought more than 20 Japanese-style melon grenades that were captured.

Seeing Qiao Youhua's handsome appearance in full armament, the more than 20 recruits were full of envy, and the tall and thin man who had taken the lead in speaking in the courtyard of the village chief's house before asked boldly: "Brother Qiao, are you going to fight devils?" Can you bring us with you? ”

Ma Biao, Jiang Haidong and Wu Ming looked at each other and smiled.

Qiao Youhua said: "We're just going to do some reconnaissance, you don't even know how to shoot now, what do you kill when you see a devil?" If you want to kill devils with us, just listen to my orders, continue to adhere to the subjects that the instructors just taught you, you still need to be hard to strike iron, if you want to kill devils to be a hero, you must first have a good body, and remember good skills? ”

The tall and thin man replied with some disappointment: "Remember." ”

"By the way, what's your name?" Qiao Youhua saw that he was tall and had long arms, as long as he polished it well, he was a good soldier, and asked.

"My name is Zheng Yunshan." The tall and thin man hurriedly replied.

"Well, very good, Yunshan, now I appoint you as the captain of the recruits, we are not here, you will lead everyone to continue training, if the training is good, we will teach you to play with guns when we come back." Qiao Youhua said.

"Really? That's great. Zheng Yunshan thought about it and hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, sir." ”

"Are you ready?" Qiao Youhua saw that Ma Biao and Wu Ming all nodded one after another, and waved his hand: "Let's go." ”

Zheng Village is forty or fifty kilometers away from Zhengding County, but these distances are not a problem for Qiao Youhua and his team of soldiers.

The extreme cross-country training on weekdays is at least 30 kilometers, not to mention the actual running and marching in actual combat.

However, due to the fact that Japanese troops may appear everywhere now, and there are occasional Japanese fighters whistling in the sky, Qiao Youhua and the three of them deliberately hide their tracks, only walking through the leafy woods and sorghum fields, so it took them three hours to come to the vicinity of the county seat.

In a roadside sorghum field about two miles away from the county seat, Qiao Youhua and sniper Jiang Haidong were secretly observing the situation at the city gate with binoculars and the scope of the Type 88 sniper rifle, respectively.

As for Ma Biao and Wu Ming, they were sent by Qiao Youhua to reconnoiter in other directions. Anyway, there are green gauze tents more than one meter high everywhere outside the county, not to mention hiding one or two special forces, even one or two regiments are not a problem, so they don't have to worry about being discovered by the Japanese army who are in a state of paralysis and carelessness.

It is paralyzing carelessness, which can be seen from the fact that the city gate is wide open, and the absent-mindedness of the Japanese soldiers who are already standing guard at the gate.

It is no wonder that since the September 18 Incident to the present, every attack launched by the Japanese in China has been smooth and unexpected.

The Chinese army, which is several times larger than itself, is often crushed at the touch of a button, and is completely vulnerable to a single blow, and the Japanese army is invincible and overwhelming on the frontal battlefield.

Zhengding County has now become the rear of the Japanese army, and the arrogant devils would never have thought that there would be Chinese soldiers here who would take the initiative to send them to the door to find death.

Therefore, the garrison of the county seat is almost a decoration, and the alert is very low.

"Head, as long as you nod your head, within a minute, none of the four devils at the city gate will be able to escape." Biting a dog's tail grass in his mouth, Jiang Haidong looked at the four ghost soldiers who appeared in his scope one by one, and said in a low voice.

"Don't be impulsive, we're not here to assassinate the devil soldiers this time, but to reconnoitre, it's easy to kill a few devil soldiers, but it doesn't mean much, besides, if you want to come to practice guns in the future, bring the captured 38 big covers, your 88 sniper bullets are expensive, it's too wasteful to kill a few ghost soldiers." Qiao Youhua held the telescope and said word by word.

At this time, there was a slight strange noise behind him, and Wu Ming and Ma Biao came back.

"How? Did you get any useful information? Qiao Youhua turned around and asked.

"Head, there is a mine at the foot of the mountain in the west of the city, do you want to go over and have a look?" Wu Ming replied.

Qiao Youhua's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Mine? Lead the way! ”
