Zhou Wen looked at the eager Xiao Qi and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Qi, don't worry. I heard that you are a sharpshooter in the Volunteer Army. Tomorrow we will go for target training, and then we will have a look at Brother Xiao Qi's sharpshooting style."
Xiao Qi was embarrassed by Zhou Wen's remarks. My own three-legged cat's marksmanship is just as good as that in the volunteer army, but in front of your scholar instructor's marksmanship that can't miss a shot from hundreds of meters away, it's just like using a big sword in front of Guan Gong, and you are overestimating your ability.
Zhou Wen said to Lei Dahai again: "Brother Lei, I left you in the logistics team for several days. Do you blame me for not treating you well?"
"How can we? Let's not talk about the life-saving grace of the chief. When we came to the pass, the chief gave us food and clothing. Brothers don't know how to repay this huge kindness."
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Take good care of your body, train well, and then kill more Japanese, that is the best reward for me. I also want to hear your opinions on how to arrange for you next."
Lei Dahai and others cheered up when they heard this, but he quickly expressed his position: "As long as you can follow the team to kill the Japanese, I can do whatever you want, sir." "That's right, brothers have no objections, I just listen to you, sir." .”
Zhou Wen nodded and said: "Okay, I plan to arrange it this way. You have been fighting against the Japs in the Northeast these years. The environment is too difficult and the damage to the body is relatively large. We will have many training subjects in the future that require certain physical conditions. So first of all, we need to take good care of your health, this can’t be rushed.”
"Now the 25 of you will temporarily form a recruit team, divided into three squads. The captain will be Brother Lei, and the squad leader will be elected by you. When the injured brothers return to the team in the future, they will also be included in the recruit team. From today on Formal management should be carried out from the beginning.”
"The captain is responsible for daily life management, and the instructor is responsible for training and discipline."
"All of you are elites who have survived countless brutal battles. I believe in your abilities in terms of training. I have only one request, follow the command in all actions, and keep those who can do it. If I feel that I can't do it, I will also I don’t force it, and I will give you enough resettlement fees. After all, you have been fighting against the little devils for several years. You don’t owe this country anything anymore, but this country owes you.”
"But." After saying this, Zhou Wen's face became serious and he raised his voice.
"The army is not a team to do business. You can come when you want and leave when you want. Those who want to stay should think about it. The army has military regulations and disciplines. From tomorrow on, military management will be implemented. At any time, you can leave if you want. I can't leave. All brothers, please go back and think about it today. When you hear the assembly whistle tomorrow morning, those who come out to gather are those who are willing to join our mercenary group. Scholars, I welcome them. Those who don't come out to gather are those who want to leave. I will tell everyone I will give you a resettlement fee of 100 yuan."
"Now that everyone is dismissed, I will ask Uncle Zhang to cook some more dishes in the evening, and we will have a few drinks together to have a welcome and farewell meal."
After finishing speaking, watching Lei Dahai and the others disperse with complicated expressions, Zhou Wen called on his brothers to clean their bodies. If he didn't wash himself and change his clothes, he would not be able to stand the stench on his body.
When Zhou Wen came back today, he was not in a hurry to go back to Lengkou's headquarters. He just wanted to make arrangements for Lei Dahai and the others. He couldn't leave people alone in the logistics team and ignore them.
That's why he explained so much to Lei Dahai and the others today.
As for the issue of whether to stay or leave, Zhou Wen still has to voluntarily decide. After all, forceful melons are not sweet. What's more, Lei Dahai and the others didn't have any extraordinary abilities, so Zhou Wen still had to think hard to retain people. Zhou Wen mainly admired them as good guys who resisted Japan, and just wanted to give them a good ending.
But the ugly things to say are ahead. For them to join the team, they must first change some of their bad habits in the old army. Orders and prohibitions are only the basic requirements. There will be a series of conceptual transformations later. Otherwise, even if they pass the training, they will not be able to reach the second detachment. It will bring some bad habits to those young soldiers, which will be worth the loss.
…
The time soon came to March 20. The Yanshan Mountains were rarely blessed by the long-lost sunshine in this spring, and Lengkou Pass also had a rare peace of mind for more than a week.
The early morning sunshine scattered shadows in the quiet woods. Those trees that had been sleeping deathly in winter began to grow some green leaves and twigs amidst the chirping of birds, as if the war in which thousands of people were fighting each other more than a week ago had been separated by a century. Long.
However, this rare tranquility was soon broken by a roar from the air, and the birds in the woods were frightened so much that they flapped their wings and flew high.
However, they soon discovered that there were several huge giant birds in the distant sky, making deafening roars and roaring with a breath of death that made the birds tremble. The birds were frightened and ran around in panic. Flying around.
At this time, Lieutenant Masato Hirota, who was driving the Mitsubishi Type 92 bomber, had no intention of paying attention to the birds that were almost paralyzed by fright. There was a slightly resentful expression on his slightly tired face.
Just because he was too tired.
Think about it, the average number of attendances in the past few days has been more than four times a day. Even with the mental support of fanatical efforts to build meritorious services for the empire, it cannot withstand the pain in various parts of the body and physical fatigue.
You must know that aircraft control during this period not only requires a high degree of concentration, but also requires a lot of effort, especially the constant pulling of the stiff control lever. After operating it for several hours a day, Masato Hirota felt that his arms were numb. It's like being separated from the body.
At this moment, he was cursing the incompetence of those infantry troops. Seeing that they had occupied Gubeikou City Pass, they were blocked in front of the final Nantianmen position for several days in a row. As a result, he, who was the pilot of a reconnaissance plane, was also blocked. If you are transferred to fly bombers and keep taking off for bombing every day, I will be tired!
After scolding the incompetent Army Ma Lu, he began to scold the Chinese defenders at Gubeikou. Aren’t you Baga afraid of death? I go out for bombings several times a day, and I have seen with my own eyes countless mutilated bodies blown up by 250 kilogram bombs, but why don't you retreat? Don’t you know that flesh and blood cannot withstand steel?
As for the even more incompetent officers at the Guandong Army Headquarters, wouldn't you Baga send more pilots to the country? Wouldn't it be great if everyone takes turns on the battlefield and can accumulate battlefield experience? If you insist on treating us imperial elites like mules, we are all pig-brained.
