Chapter 1509 Recruit Classroom
Unlike other regiments, after two days of selection, the Four Lines Regiment selected 198 recruits that met its requirements, which was 102 short of the number of recruits that needed to be supplemented.
Not only did the four regiments under the 10th Preliminary Division recruit 400 people each, the main regiments such as the 28th Regiment and the 30th Regiment also secretly recruited 300 people each to serve as stretcher bearers.
The so-called stretcher bearers don't have to carry a gun when the situation is critical?
"Each of us has different needs. We are following the route of elite troops and prefer to have fewer troops than too many. However, Master Ge is taking the route of having more people and greater strength, and working hard to achieve miracles. There is no absolute good or bad, only whether it is suitable or not." Tang Dao happened to bump into him. Fang Xianjue was criticizing Ge Youcai for not following military orders, privately recruiting nearly a thousand more people, and not following the route of elite soldiers in the Four Lines Regiment, so he hurriedly helped Master Ge relieve his work.
"Yes, that's the truth. Our 10th Division's biggest advantage against the enemy in this battle is the fortifications. As long as the fortifications don't collapse and the recruits know how to shoot, they can block the Japanese. If it's not accurate, we'll have to fight for a few more days, pig. You can all become a marksman." Ge Youcai smiled widely.
Tang Dao's words spoke to his heart.
How can anyone who can sit in the position of lieutenant general and division commander be a fool? That commander doesn't need elite soldiers, but Master Ge understands that due to equipment and training reasons, his Pre-10th Division cannot have all the elite troops like the Si Xing Regiment.
Then, you have to rely on enough people! Each regiment is supplemented with 400 men, and one point is given to the 12 companies of the 3 battalions. In fact, each company has less than 40 men, and a squad only has 4 men. Let the veterans lead the area and survive several battles. He has become a veteran.
In Hengyang, the most indispensable thing is the battlefield.
Yes, although both sides in Hengyang are secretly building up their forces and building up strength, there are no major battles, but small battles continue every day.
The new recruits did not need to go to any training ground at all. They rushed directly to the battlefield, fired their rifles, and followed the veteran method, aiming at the opposite side and hitting anything alive.
Today's Hengyang City has an abundance of bullets, and there will never be a shortage of recruits to fire live ammunition.
Therefore, in the next few days, there were constant gunshots from various positions outside Hengyang City, which made the Japanese somewhat confused.
Although there have been no major wars during this period, and small conflicts have continued one after another, what do you mean by fighting blindly like this?
Is it possible that the Chinese in the city are so rich in bullets that they can waste them at will?
"This is an empty city tactic that the Chinese sing about! Their supplies must be running low, at least not as much as they show." Lieutenant General Yan Yongwang, commander of the 116th Division, thought carefully for 10 minutes and said: came to such a conclusion.
Shimamanuki Takeshi
It would be super stupid for the Chinese to say that they are using the few remaining supplies so wastefully just to confuse their opponents' judgment.
After all, even a fool knows that the Empire of Japan will never give up attacking Hengyang because of whether the opponent is rich or short of supplies.
Obviously, the Chinese side will not give up its recruit training just because the Japanese army is a little confused. Whether they can hit or not is not the key point. The key point is that the recruits must be able to shoot and dare to shoot.
The war may break out at any time, and the new recruits must become a timely combat force, even if it is to undermine the success of the war.
Because, this is war.
However, the recruit training is still somewhat different in each department. For example, the 3rd Battalion of the Fourth Army Regiment focuses on a maverick, and Li Jiujin's brain is somewhat different from others.
Luo Dahu was assigned to Class 4, 7th Company, 3rd Battalion, and became a private. He was also the only soldier in Class 4 with a rank below sergeant.
Luo Dahu is the sixth-ranked strongman in the assessment. Relying on the thick body unique to northerners and the will to earn a future for his wife and children, Luo Dahu just ran out of blood and ran within 25 minutes.
But he was a bit too old. Qian Dazhu, who was responsible for recruiting troops of the 1st Battalion who had been guarding Huangchaling for 20 days, gave up on him after thinking over and over again.
But Boss Cao, who came to recruit troops on behalf of the 3rd Battalion, immediately fell in love with Luo Dahu, who was already over 30 years old. Perhaps Luo Dahu's resume was somewhat similar to his own, which made him the deputy company commander of the 7th company and the 3rd platoon leader of the 7th company. Lieutenant Cao felt empathy.
But in what Boss Cao said later: "You all see that he is old and feel that there is no potential to be tapped, but you also don't think about it. A man in his 30s just wants his wife and children to have enough to eat in the future without going through the process." Under any training conditions, he can run 6,000 meters for 25 minutes. This is how tenacious he is. Just for this tenacity, he is worthy of joining my 7th and 4th classes.”
In most companies, the sharp knife platoon and the sharp knife squad are both prefixed with "1". The 7th company is an exception. The 4th squad is the well-deserved sharp knife squad of the whole company. No one can earn this.
Because it was fought by the 4th Squadron with the lives of 13 soldiers and the overwhelming sacrifices of heaven and earth. It was a real battle achievement and achievement.
Which squad dares to say that just one squad can defeat most of the Japanese infantry brigade? Which squad can dare to say that two people can hold off hundreds of Japanese soldiers who attack continuously for an hour, and one of them has a broken leg and a blind soldier?
But Class 4 did it like this, and performed a miracle in the battle at Niangzi Pass.
Moreover, Tu Yunsheng, who was missing one leg, and Boss Cao, who was blind in one eye, were not seriously injured and retired. They continued to participate in various battles thereafter, and accumulated meritorious service to become captains and lieutenants.
What's even more awesome is that after that serious injury, it was as if God took care of them. In the next five years, these two never suffered another serious injury.
Class 4 did not live up to the sacrifices of its predecessors. Although in the following years, some veterans died in battle or were seriously injured and retired or were promoted to other platoons and companies, the oldest recruit was Liu Adong, a former recruit. I also became the new monitor of Class 4 last year.
Of course, these stories were only heard by Luo Dahu after he entered Class 4. Every recruit who enters Class 4 will be shocked and infected by the stories of his seniors.
It is precisely because of this spiritual inheritance that the soldiers of the 4th squad have never been cowards. Even the new recruits who have just left the training ground will not wet their pants like the soldiers in other companies when facing the fierce artillery fire.
Although that is actually quite normal, as long as it is a living thing, there is no one who is not afraid of death. There has always been a joke in the Four Elements Group: "You don't have to worry about being scared to the point of peeing, as long as you are not scared to the point of poop!"
The Si Xing Regiment has always been very tolerant towards new recruits. They have never been scared on the battlefield and shot them to scare the monkeys. At worst, they will be considered unfit for combat and they will be withdrawn from active service.
That's because everyone in the Si Xing Tuan is confident enough to believe that scrap metal will be smelted into fine steel when it reaches their big melting pot.
In fact, this is indeed the case. One person's bravery may lead a group of people, but what about a group of people who are brave and fearless? The will of the individual is a weak candle in the face of the power of the collective, and is coerced into a collective form almost instantly.
After 7 years of war, the Four Elements Group has become what Tang Dao wants.
Even if the Four Elements Regiment was crippled in the Battle of Hengyang, as long as one-tenth of the people survive, the spirit and backbone of the Four Elements Regiment will still be there and can be rebuilt at any time. Even if the entire army is annihilated, what he left behind in the Taihang Mountains will remain intact. Those seeds can also reproduce this elite force.
The physical body can disappear, but the fearless spirit and will will last forever!
However, when the middle-aged Luo Dahu first arrived at his glorious infantry squad, he was not shocked by the stories of the veterans.
When Luo Dahu, led by squad leader A Dong, walked through the twists and turns of the trench to the artillery hole, he was dumbfounded when he saw his comrades standing up to welcome him.
During this period, he had worked on the 10th Preliminary Division position for a week, and he knew to some extent the military ranks of the infantry squads and infantry platoon men.
In the 10th Preliminary Division, it would be good to have two or three sergeants in a squad. Most of them were just like him, either privates or first-class soldiers. There was no one like the squad he came from. Even a 20-year-old 'Dolls', all carrying the rank of Corporal. What's the matter? Has the entire infantry squad achieved military exploits?
Seeing Luo Dahu staring blankly at the military rank on the collar badge, Adong, who has become the squad leader of the 4th squad, smiled slightly and introduced Luo Dahu one by one: "This is the deputy squad leader Sheng, from Licheng, Shanxi Province, with 4 years of military experience. , has achieved second-class military merit once, and has achieved third-level military merit once, with the rank of first-class sergeant major; this is a Muggle, from Sichuan Province, with 3 years of military service, and has achieved third-class military merit once, with the rank of sergeant major."
Luo Dahu saluted almost mechanically to the group of 'veterans' who were either sergeants or sergeants, and the lowest were corporals, even the little guy named Xiao Shiba who had only green fur above his lips and a somewhat shy expression on his face.
The reason why he is called Xiao Shiba is because this young man whose family is in Henan Province had just turned 18 when he joined the army. If the regimental commander had not seen the skinny young man on the road and kindly gave him a bag of grain, The life of eighteen may not last until the age of eighteen.
But the seventeen-year-old boy waited until the person who rescued him was Tang Dao, the leader of the Four Elements Regiment. He actually relied on this bag of food to walk hundreds of kilometers into the fifth war zone, found the headquarters of the Four Elements Regiment and asked to join the army. Finally, he On my 18th birthday, I became a member of the Four Elements Group.
Shiba was originally a first-class soldier a week ago, but after rotating the 1st Battalion to the Huangchaling position, Shiba encountered his first actual combat in two years of joining the army. As a result, this soldier who was originally the only soldier in Class 4 who had never participated in actual combat became famous in one battle. , shot and killed 5 attacking Japanese soldiers, and killed 4 Japanese soldiers with cold shots in three days. The superior soldier with outstanding military achievements was promoted to corporal by the front line of fire, and he only wore the rank of corporal only two days before Luo Dahu came.
Luo Dahu's head was buzzing after listening to squad leader A Dong's introduction to the corporal who could almost be his son.
What kind of magical infantry squad has he got here? Just a few days to kill 9 people each. Based on this efficiency, how many Japanese must die before they are finished?
"Okay, now that we are all acquainted, Lao Luo will be handed over to Shiba. While the little devils have calmed down in the past two days, Shiba will take Lao Luo to familiarize himself with the environment of the position we are defending, and also conduct necessary operations on him. some training.
By the way, Lao Luo is a new recruit after all, so he should be careful about training that is too dangerous. "After Adong finished explaining, he turned around and went to the platoon headquarters.
In fact, Adong didn't pay much attention to the recruitment of new recruits. Two days ago, a brother who was a precision shooter was really unlucky. During a cold sniper attack with the Japanese army, he killed a Japanese soldier 400 meters away with one shot, but he was killed. The Japanese grenade launchers were ambushed, and six grenade launchers aimed at him and fired wildly in his direction. One shrapnel penetrated his thigh and almost severed an artery. He had to go to a field hospital for treatment, and then a new soldier came in.
However, although Class 4 now does not have the support soldiers specially equipped for Tu Yunsheng, the special establishment is still retained. At full capacity, it still reaches 20 people. The loss of one precision shooter does not have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of Class 4.
On the contrary, it is a bit burdensome to train new recruits and also take care of their safety.
A Dong was thinking about looking for Platoon Leader Cao again, or arrange Luo Dahu, who is in good physical condition, to be in the fire squad. Even if he can't go into battle to kill the enemy immediately, he can still move ammunition and other things with his brute force. ?
Luo Dahu didn't know that he had now become the embarrassment in the heart of squad leader A Dong. He had just joined the army and was still eager to try it! These comrades of his are so awesome, so he can't hold them back, can he?
The most important thing is that after I heard that Shiba became a corporal, his military salary and allowance exceeded 20 silver dollars. A few days ago, he was even given a bonus of 45 silver dollars for killing 9 Japanese soldiers. Every day, he dreams about how to replace his wife. The middle-aged man who earns living expenses has green eyes.
It turns out that the ghost's head is not a head, but a silver head. Should this be called a ghost's big head?
"Eighteen brothers, you tell me how to practice. Although I am older than you, I am now a soldier under your command. I can practice how you want me to practice. As long as I can kill ghosts and earn a lot of ghosts." Luo Dahu can do it. He was able to survive in the war with his wife and children, and his brain was considered flexible. Even though he was much younger than him at eighteen years old, he also maintained his position very well, showing that he would absolutely obey the orders of the 20-year-old young man.
"Brother Hu, you are a new soldier, but you are not a newbie on the battlefield. You have stayed in Hengyang City for a month, and you have experienced what the enemy shelling is like. However, this battlefield is not just about shelling, it is more terrifying than that. Yes, how about we practice our courage first?" Shiba replied with a chuckle.
“How dare you still practice this thing?” Luo Dahu was startled, rather disapproving of it.
He fled the war all the way from his hometown to Hengyang. After traveling for several years, he saw nothing on the road? Not to mention the various grotesque corpses left behind after the battle between the two armies, I have witnessed two massacres of civilians caused by the Japanese. The **** scenes were really too horrible to watch. The people hiding in the woods Didn't he carry it over yet?
Not to mention that I saw some mutilated corpses on the road. The flesh on the thighs and arms had obviously been cut off with sharp tools. Just thinking about the results would make a normal person go crazy.
"According to the practice of our 4th squad, newcomers will be issued guns, but if an enemy's gun is captured before that, it will be recorded in the squad log." Shiba continued.
"How to seize it? The Japanese are not coming, and I don't have a gun now?" Luo Dahu didn't understand.
“If you can't get the living ones, why not the dead ones? Have you seen the deep trench in front of you?” Shiba smiled and nuzzled his lips forward. "There are too many Japanese dead there, and we don't have time to get back many of the rifles. You can go rummaging inside at night and get a Japanese rifle back easily."
“That's easy to say, come and see me tonight.” Luo Dahu patted his strong chest, his face full of confidence.
The confident Luo Dahu did not know that he was not the only recruit who was deceived into searching for guns in the 2,000-meter-long trench that day, there were more than 20 recruits.
Then there will never be more than 5 of these 20-odd recruits who can eventually bring back a complete gun like Luo Dahu.
Because, almost no one can stay in this hellish trench for more than 10 minutes.
It's not just that the deep trenches are strewn with all kinds of rotten maggots or the corpses of giants, nor is it that walking among such piles of corpses with a lantern in hand at night will make you extremely frightened.
Rather, it was so stinky inside that even if they wore long leather shoes as required and tied towels soaked in potion to their faces, the strong corpse odor could still make them dizzy.
The 1st Battalion fought fiercely here for 20 days, and at least 3,000 Japanese soldiers died in the deep trenches. Although in the early stage, because the smell was too unpleasant and he was concerned about the epidemic, Leng Feng ordered gasoline to be poured into the trenches and burned, and a considerable part was burned.
However, the Japanese army continued to pour more "materials" into it. Eventually, the 1st Battalion was lying flat and ruined. There was only so much oil and it was not enough for itself. There was no more to burn the corpses, so they just let it go.
When the 3rd Battalion took over the position, Li Jiujin became more aggressive and said frankly that there was no need to worry about it. The filthier and more disgusting the deep trench was, the better. Maybe the Japanese would be sick to death if they jumped in, so they could save bullets.
You can imagine that a person is walking in this deep trench. Wherever the light shines, there are hideous rotting corpses. The nostrils are filled with a strong stench. From time to time, there is a greasy and soft touch under the feet.
Moreover, the veterans who led the new recruits over the cliff to the deep trench repeatedly warned that this was a battlefield and they might encounter Japanese who came over.
The nerves are so stretched that they are almost broken, and they still have to pull the corpse with their hands to find the complete rifle that was not taken away in time. Those who can persist in completing this task can be called a strong person at least in terms of psychological quality.
Luo Dahu succeeded, but when he came back he almost vomited all his bile, and he loved meat so much that he didn't eat a piece of meat for three days.
That night, he saw meat that he had never seen before in his life. It was at his feet and everywhere.
"Brother Hu, this is the nature of the battlefield. Death is not everything. If we are defeated and no one restrains us, it will be like that." Shiba said extremely cruel words, but his young face was calm.
Luo Dahu and the recruits of the 3rd Battalion collectively shook their heads desperately in their hearts. No one would want such an outcome that would be disgusting for any living thing to happen to them.
I don't want this ending, the only way is to defeat the Japanese.
Perhaps, that is the last trace of dignity of being a human being!
After using the simplest and most direct but extremely vivid battlefield, the 3rd Battalion taught its recruits a lesson that they will remember for a lifetime!
That is, what is a battlefield!
Death is not the final end!
The last bit of dignity is eaten away bit by bit by the swarm of maggots.
