In the early morning of the thirteenth, Changshan camp.

As soon as the sky was numb, with the sound of a sharp whistle, I came from Shanghai to train! More than 500 children of the Youth Gang stumbled to the playground amid the sticks of the instructors of the new second division.

The afternoon before yesterday, after seeing off Dai Li and his entourage, Wu Ming held a grand welcome banquet in Beidaying, Quzhou, to entertain the guests from Shanghai.

Soon after the meal, most of the people were still walking lazily in the camp by the light of the bonfire, when the whistle of the assembly sounded suddenly, and then a dozen or so headlights around the camp were lit, and the officers and men of the fierce battalion guard drove everyone to the playground like eagles catching chickens.

A young instructor demanded that everyone shave their heads and pack up their belongings, and then they were rushed to shave their heads and take a shower, after which they went to the logistics station next to the bathroom to get their underwear, underwear, and new training, and those who disobeyed were to be served with whips and sticks.

More than 500 people were divided into 18 groups, and they barely survived the night on the bunk of the barracks, which could accommodate 30 people, and the next day, after eating a simple breakfast of porridge and steamed buns and kimchi, the newly dressed young men of the Green Gang were again driven to the playground to assemble, where they were organized into a battalion of five companies.

In order to show the importance he attached to this unit, Wu Ming announced that he would personally serve as the battalion commander, and Lu Jingshi, who led the team, would serve as the deputy battalion commander.

Except for the company commander, platoon commander, and squad leader of the whole battalion, who are appointed by instructors assigned by the new Second Division, the rest of the deputy positions are all trained! The children of the Green Gang are elected by themselves, and two people must be appointed for each deputy position, so that they can learn to manage and command the troops from the instructors.

After tossing for most of the morning, at ten o'clock in the morning, this newly formed rabble left the Beida Camp in Quzhou and drove to Changshan on foot.

Out of the west gate of Quzhou, Wu Ming has always behaved very relaxed, and several times during the march he carried the stragglers who were seriously overdrawn, which made Lu Jingshi, who felt that his body was a little unbearable, was speechless. After eight hours of forced marching, in the evening, the team pulled away and entered the Changshan camp, and almost everyone was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, these children of the Green Gang have good physical fitness and firm will, and with the help of Wu Ming and the officers and soldiers of the guard company, they all persevered, and no one quit halfway.

After dinner, with the exception of a few "perverts" who were still chatting and laughing vigorously with good physical strength, most of them chose to go back to the barracks they had just been assigned to, and then fell asleep after going to bed. If it is an ordinary recruit recruited by the new Second Division for training, it is very likely that a surprise training will be carried out at night丨But the requirements of this unit, which is composed entirely of the children of the Shanghai Youth Gang, are not so strict, and Wu Ming is extrajudicial and allows them to sleep until the next morning.

After a night's rest, most people were in much better spirits when the whistle blew than they were the night before.

The team slowly assembled, Wu Ming and Lu Jingshi, who also had an ugly face, stood side by side on the high platform, looking at the untidy and uneven team in front of him, Wu Ming shook his head, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, turned around and discussed a few words with Lu Jingshi in a whisper, and then summoned Lieutenant Dou Tian, who served as the bishop of this training, to teach him face-to-face.

Dou Tian is only 19 years old this year, with the first phase of the military academy outstanding young soldiers, after graduation assigned to Wu Ming for internship, as a staff officer of the combat section, at the end of the 35 years of the new 10th Brigade competition on behalf of the brigade headquarters, military five results all into the top 50, specially awarded the rank of second lieutenant, after the crusade against the two Guangxi smoothly promoted to the first level, transferred to the first guard company as the deputy company commander, this time was transferred to serve as the training of the bishop.

After listening to the order, Dou Tian stood back in front of the queue with understanding, blew the whistle, and waited for everyone to be quiet, then shouted loudly:

"Since you have come to our new second division for training, you must have the appearance of being a soldier...... Zhilu Dao: How long did it take you to gather this time? Ten minutes of such a bad performance was enough to ⊥ the enemy who attacked and surrounded the camp and wiped us out two or three times."

"Let me tell you, veterans who have undergone rigorous training only need two minutes from getting up to fold the quilt, tidying up the military appearance to the assembly, and you need to improve a lot."

There was an uproar in the queue, everyone didn't expect that the gap between themselves and the veterans of the new Second Division would be so big, and for a while, the discussion was "buzzing".

Seeing this, Dou Tian was furious, blew his whistle again, and then said:

"What's the noise? Look at what you look like now, what are you talking like? And your posture, there are all kinds of strange things, and there is no military discipline at all...... Don't think that you are from Shanghai, the largest city in the Far East, we will treat you preferentially, if you choose this path, then you must strictly obey our commands, learn to abide by discipline, and learn to endure hardships. ”

"In the next three months, we will arrange for you to be trained in individual skills such as standing in military posture, strengthening physical fitness, shooting, and tactical cooperation between each other, as well as weapon maintenance, earth work, how to better protect yourself in the offensive, and tactical skills of combat units at all levels in battle, etc., and you will find that your time is simply not enough."

"Only by devoting yourself wholeheartedly, obeying the guidance of the instructor, and tempering yourself with all your might, instead of being dissatisfied and critical of this pair, can you keep up with the progress of the training, otherwise we can only choose to give up on you In order to show that all the training is scientific and reasonable, our division commander, that is, your battalion commander Wu Ming, will accompany you throughout the training until you are qualified......"

There was another uproar in the ranks.

No one thought that Wu Ming, who was a noble person in western Zhejiang, and called Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng brothers, would choose to receive rigorous training with him.

They didn't know that Wu Ming was not the first time to receive training as a recruit, and every time Wu Ming had easily completed all the recruit training subjects with the first place in the assessment, he had already mastered the training, and it didn't take much effort at all.

The reason why Wu Ming attaches so much importance to this ragtag unit composed entirely of the children of the Green Gang is that Shanghai's political, economic and geographical location is very important, although these children of the Green Gang are inconspicuous at present, as long as they receive the strict training of Wu Ming's department, in addition to their comprehensive personal quality will be on a higher level, their vision and experience will soon open up a gap with other Green Gang people, as long as they are given a chance to perform, it is a matter of time before they rise to the top

Instead of paying ten times and a hundred times more energy to pull the relationship in the future, it is better to get along with them from the beginning, I dare not say that all these people will be able to take the position in the future, as long as a few of them are promising, it will not be in vain from Wu Ming's good intentions. This unit, which is composed entirely of children of the Green Gang, is not much different from other recruits, that is, the intensity is slightly lower than that of ordinary troops, but it is not obvious.

In accordance with the requirements of the training program, armed cross-country training will be carried out every morning after getting up and before breakfast begins, and the intensity of the training will be gradually increased from two kilometers to three kilometers; at the end of the armed cross-country training, the soldiers will begin to eat breakfast; after breakfast, military posture training will be conducted in the morning to enhance military quality and cultivate collective concepts; in the afternoon, individual soldier tactical training and tactical coordination training of squad and platoon combat units will be conducted, and the two types of training will be interspersed and mixed to speed up the training progress and shorten the time.

After dinner, the officers held a meeting to summarize the problems that arose during the day, discuss solutions, and educate the soldiers ideologically, teaching them to read. The task of the soldiers was to take companies and platoons as units to receive ideological education in internal affairs training and a two-hour literacy course from the political department of the new Second Division.

Don't think that these soldiers are literate when they come from Shanghai, in fact, even Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng are not literate, and they need a special master to help them deal with copywriting, not to mention these young gang children at the bottom of society. For teaching them literacy, Wu Ming has his own considerations, only with culture can there be thoughts, and only with thoughts can they learn to consider and analyze, so that when they encounter problems in the future, they can think calmly, find and solve problems.

On the high platform, Lu Jingshi listened to Dou Tian's explanation of the training requirements, and said to Wu Ming with some embarrassment: "Brother Wu, the training intensity is so great, can the brothers stand it?" ”

"Don't worry"

Wu Ming smiled and comforted: "There is absolutely no problem with this kind of training intensity...... After many years of practice, we have formed a complete set of effective training means and mechanisms, and the recruits trained by similar methods have become the backbone of the two divisions of the 74 th Army of the Central Army and our new second division...... In the process, nothing went wrong. ”

"When the three-month training is over, I don't dare to say anything else, but against the last time those who were composed of Japanese reserve troops. The brave team, it is not a problem at all, against a small group of Japanese marines, there is also the power of a battle Of course, if it encounters a larger-scale invasion by the regular Japanese troops, it will not be able to compete with the strength of your youth gang alone, it is a national war between China and Japan, and there will naturally be an army to take action

"Tell the brothers: With today's training, even if Shanghai faces the threat of war in the future, you will be able to calmly deal with the fall of Shanghai, and with what you have learned, you can organize armed forces behind enemy lines, attack the Japanese transportation lines and material hoarding points, and help our army get information about the Japanese army, which will play a far greater role than you imagined."

"Believe me, the next three months will be three months of rebirth, and you will not regret it wherever you go in the future."

Lu Jingshi was greatly moved when he heard this, nodded heavily to Wu Ming, and then began to receive the day's training as an ordinary soldier with Wu Ming
