If this news came from newspapers or other troops, Lei Dahai and the others would definitely think it was bragging.
However, after they saw with their own eyes Zhou Wen's miraculous performance of killing hundreds of Japanese soldiers, they knew that this young officer was capable.
Now, Lei Dahai and the others were even more eager to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. They were eager to start training tomorrow and strive to go to the battlefield as soon as possible to follow the chief scholar and kill the Japanese.
But before that, let's take a look at how they train. Maybe veterans like me have practiced before, so we can pass the assessment as soon as possible, right?
However, the little thoughts of Lei Dahai and his brothers were all seen by Old Uncle Zhang. He chuckled and said: "Brother Dahai, don't worry, take good care of your health first. The scholar has specifically explained that you have worked hard these years. You have been living too much, and you have some problems with your body. I have to wait for a week before you can gradually start training, and you can't start training at the beginning."
Xiao Shui quickly said: "That's right, the scholar said that you will have many opportunities to kill Japanese in the future. The first thing now is to take good care of your body."
When Lei Dahai heard this, he knew that his thoughts had been seen through, so he could only thank Uncle Zhang with a smile and walked back with the egg in his hand.
This lasted until the fifth day.
At dusk that day, Xiao Shui and the others came back from training in the snow. They saw Lei Dahai, Xiao Qi and the others chatting and kicking at the door. He came over to greet them and said, "Brother Lei, you can follow suit tomorrow morning." Adaptive training.”
Lei Dahai and Xiao Qi looked at each other with happy faces. Lei Dahai quickly asked: "Brother Xiaoshui, tell us what adaptive training is."
Xiao Shui looked at his eldest brothers who were far older than him and immediately felt a little embarrassed. He blushed and scratched the back of his head and said: "Actually, I can't explain clearly, but... he just followed me and Brother Dayou. Training follows the normal schedule, but the amount of training is not as large as ours."
"It's okay, brother Xiaoshui, just tell us what the regulations are, and we brothers will follow and practice. If you can do it, we will definitely be good at it."
"That's right, we will follow you and do whatever you ask us to do."
In fact, Lei Dahai and the other volunteer soldiers really couldn't stand idle. Even though everyone was eating well and sleeping well these past few days, in fact, it was like there was a feather in their hearts that kept twitching, and they were impatient for a long time.
Xiao Shui looked at these men who were about to jump for joy and felt a little funny in his heart. After thinking about it, he said hesitantly: "That's okay. I'll call you tomorrow morning. Let's give it a try first. If If the elder brother doesn’t think it’s okay, just tell me.”
"It's okay, it's okay. We've both been able to gain some weight these past few days, so it's time to stretch our muscles."
"Okay, Uncle Zhang and I will go talk and prepare some training tools for you."
In the early morning of the next day, it was still pitch dark, and Lei Dahai, who was sleepy, were woken up by Xiao Shui. A total of 25 of them were woken up by Xiao Shui. Without washing or anything, they went directly to the outside of the yard and saw 25 bulging military backpacks neatly arranged in a row. on the ground.
Lei Dahai and Xiao Qi had just crawled out of the hot bed. They were breathing white in the cold wind. Their bodies could not help but shiver. They couldn't help but stamp their feet a few times to move their bodies. A few people were still chatting in low voices, and the team seemed a bit messy.
Lei Dahai then discovered that Xiao Shui and Huang Dayou were standing upright like two javelins. Xiao Shui was carrying a rifle and Huang Dayou was carrying a long thing with a gun jacket. I know it's a weapon like a machine gun. The two men were carrying their backpacks tightly against their bodies and wearing leggings on their feet. They were looking at them with bright eyes.
Xiao Qi, who was beside him, was staring directly at the rifle Xiao Shui was carrying. He knew that this was the kind of rifle that the chief scholar used before, which could shoot continuously without pulling the bolt. He was thinking about it. It’s not like I can own such a good gun in the future.
Lei Dahai suddenly blushed. After only a few days of comfortable life, he forgot about the rules of the military camp.
He coughed quickly and shouted loudly: "Everyone gather, stand up for me."
These twenty-odd volunteers were all veterans who had been trained before. They quickly arranged their formations and stood at attention at Lei Dahai's command.
Xiao Shui then took a step forward and said loudly: "I have them all, just put the backpack on the ground on your back."
Now the mercenary group has all used M-30 military backpacks imported from Germany, but for training they use ordinary canvas backpacks specially customized in a clothing factory in Taiyuan. The style is almost exactly the same as the German backpacks, except that it combines a waterproof horsehair jacket and The leather straps and lanyards have been replaced by canvas.
Lei Dahai stretched out his hand to pick up the backpack that was about to be placed behind him, but his hand felt heavy. He quickly used both hands to lift the heavy backpack. He smacked his tongue in his heart and said: "Good guy, I'm afraid there won't be any little ones." Weighs 50 pounds.”
Xiao Shui and Huang Dayou came over and helped Lei Dahai and Xiao Qi put their backpacks on their backs. They kept explaining the use of various straps and lanyards until everyone's backpacks were firmly fixed on their backs. Then he said: "In the backpack is a 26 kilogram iron block, which is specially used for training. There is also a marching water bottle in the backpack. Uncle Zhang has filled it with water."
"Our first training subject in the morning is a 10-kilometer cross-country course with weights. There is no flat ground here, so we will walk on the mountain road. Now that it is dark, we will line up in a column. I am familiar with the mountain roads in this area, and I will lead the team at the front. Brother Dayou is there. At the end of the line. Everyone, keep up, don’t fall behind, call me if you can’t walk any further.”
After saying that, you should go forward first.
"Did you hear that? Everyone is following."
Lei Dahai quickly turned around and roared, then followed Xiao Shui and set off second.
Now with a heavy weight on my back and a 10-kilometer mountain road to walk, everyone knows that the real test is coming.
However, they still underestimated the meaning of the mercenary group's load-bearing cross-country. After about 10 minutes of walking out, everyone began to sweat. Only then did they realize that Xiaoshui was leading the team faster and faster. It turned into a trot up the mountain.
Although Lei Dahai and the others have basically been running around fighting in recent years, and they are all young and strong, their physical strength is not bad. But the main reason is that he has been living in the open air for many years and has been half hungry and half full for a long time, which has made his body a little weak.
In addition, the comfortable days these past few days have completely relaxed the body that has been tense. The muscles cannot be tightened for a while, and soon some people feel soreness in the waist and legs, and it is a bit laborious.
Most people have a hard time walking on a mountain trail carrying a small 50-pound backpack, and if you start running, it will cost you your life, right?
