Shang Zhen really became the company commander, and the reconnaissance company commander.
As for the current organization of the army, it is actually the chief officer who has the final say. Originally, there was no so-called reconnaissance company in the Northeast Army.
However, in view of the combat characteristics of Shang Zhen and others, brigade commander Liu Chengyi felt that it would be a waste of talents to really let them defend the position. If these guys really defend the position, they would become "deserters" again, so he simply A reconnaissance company was set up.
You want to ask why this happens? To put it in the words of the officer below, isn't that just taking advantage of others? Who told the brigade commander to eat the dog meat of the Japanese wolfdog brought back by Shang Zhen?
It is said that "dog meat cannot be served at a banquet", but that is just a way of saying that there is no one who does not eat meat when serving as a soldier, let alone eating Japanese dogs!
It is not unusual to say that you have eaten Japanese food. After all, Japan has been operating in the Northeast for many years. Even before the Japanese army invaded the three northeastern provinces, there were Japanese restaurants in the big cities in the Northeast.
But if anyone says that we ate the Japanese military dogs, really, this is so awesome that it will last a lifetime!
According to gossip, Liu Chengyizhen actually ate a large piece of dog meat in front of his subordinates, and then gave the remaining dog meat to the officers present.
Some people said that the brigade commander's food was quite delicious at that time, but after he finished eating, he smacked his lips and said, "The dog meat from Japan doesn't taste as good as our stupid dog meat!"
Shang Zhen was a little dumbfounded by the situation at that time, and thought to himself, why didn't you say that when you were eating!
However, later, Liu Chengyi ordered that Wang Laomao and others be released, and all confiscated weapons be returned.
And then when Shang Zhen and the others reunited with Wang Laomao and the others, new orders came down. Their brigade established a reconnaissance company. The company commander was Shang Zhen, and he could go to the companies below to select people!
oops! This is definitely a privilege.
To be honest, Shang Zhen and Wang Laomao really didn't take fancy to these soldiers of the 7th Brigade.
In fact, their requirements for soldiers are quite simple. It would be good if the soldiers have high fighting qualities, but even if the fighting qualities are not high, it would be better if you can not hold back and not be afraid of death when fighting.
But after Shang Zhen and Wang Laomao discussed, is such a soldier easy to choose? It’s really hard to choose!
If we say that the quality of soldiers is really important, if you look for those who are rotten from the root, you will end up with a fishy mess and a pot of soup.
For example, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a hero named Qi Jiguang who fought against Japan. Of course, at that time, the Japanese called him anti-Japanese.
Qi Jiguang just felt that the combat effectiveness of the official army at that time was not good enough, so he organized a Qi family army by himself, but the soldiers were directly selected from the miners and farmers.
And now, let alone a small company like Shang Zhen and the others, even the brigade commander Liu Chengyi is definitely not saying that you can recruit troops at will.
Then Shang Zhen and the others can only take advantage of the defeated soldiers who escaped from Rehe.
He wanted to ask officers at all levels for Liu Chengyi's former veterans, but would they give them to him? In each company, they are also the backbone of the battle.
Because of this, Shang Zhen and Wang Laomao came up with such a trick to pick people.
They don't require the people they choose to have high military qualities. If they don't have high military qualities, then they can practice in the future. Anyway, it looks like they won't have to fight for a while.
The soldiers they selected have only one requirement, and that is, they must be bloody!
What is bloody? That is, at the critical moment, you must dare to be impatient and risk your life!
Because of this, they only took the initiative to train the soldiers after they joined the company. In Northeastern dialect, they wanted to tire these soldiers into being like bastards!
Shang Zhen and the others have gone through several companies now, but even they have only selected nineteen people.
One company was not selected, and those nineteen people plus their original ten or so people were enough for a platoon.
Now that four more people were chosen, Shang Zhen and the others took Guan Tiedou and the others back.
In the afternoon, Shang Zhen called everyone in his platoon to the training ground.
Shang Zhen always picked people in the morning and trained in the afternoon.
"Company Commander, are you still practicing?" As soon as he saw Shang Zhen standing in front, Xiao Dustpan's little face twitched.
The four Guan Tiedou were called newcomers to the reconnaissance company, so naturally they couldn't say anything and just stood in line and watched coldly.
"Is there any reason why you should not practice as a newcomer? Didn't you see that old Uncle Wang is practicing with him?" Shang Zhen said with a smile.
Shang Zhen smiled like this, and Guan Tiedou and the others noticed that most of the people in the team had sad faces.
"It's still the same training method. You old people are on the left, the newcomers are on the right, and the newcomers are on the right side. I am responsible for supervising. When you are all done, I will do it myself, and you will supervise me.
Let’s have an appetizer first, three hundred push-ups! "Shang Zhen said.
After Shang Zhen finished saying this, Guan Tiedou and the others noticed that Mr. Wang, who bullied them at the beginning, started to grin.
But Shang Zhen seemed to have not seen the expressions of Mr. Wang and the others, and then ordered: "Get ready!"
This was a military order, and it had to be carried out. Everyone fell to the ground with a "crash".
"One", "two", "three", "four", Shang Zhen started counting, and following his command, the thirty or so people began to do push-ups together.
The first hundred people arrived and it was okay. Everyone followed suit and looked relatively neat. They all lay down and pushed up at the same time.
After a hundred were finished, Shang Zhen asked everyone to rest for a minute. Then he went on to do the second hundred.
When the 200th one was almost finished, they started doing push-ups one after another.
That's of course because some people are more energetic and some are less energetic.
Those who were very energetic kept up with Shang Zhen's chants, while those who were less energetic did it slower and slower.
It's already early June, and the summer sun is very bright. First, sweat dripped from the temples and forehead to the ground. Then, everyone's shoulder blades were wet, and then gradually the back became wet as well.
"Little dustpan, Chu Tian, Chen Hanwen, you have counted by yourselves. Don't stop as long as you are short." Shang Zhen continued to supervise.
"Come on, Uncle Wang, you still have seven to go!" Then he pointed out Mr. Wang alone.
Mr. Wang is out of breath now. He is panting heavily. Now he has no intention to scold Shang Zhen in his heart. This is not the first day they practiced like this.
When Shang Zhen recruited new people for the first time, Mr. Wang even discussed with Shang Zhen, "Do you think I can do less as I get older?"
Shang Zhen smiled when he looked at Mr. Wang and shook his head without saying a word.
At this time, the little dustpan was standing next to him and said, "Our company commander can promise you that when you go to the battlefield, will the Japanese devils promise you?"
have to! However, Old Mao Wang was lectured by this little boy, Little Dustpan.
So if anything else is useless, then just practice. If you practice more now, your skills will become better when you go to the battlefield, and maybe you can kill a few more Japanese.
What's the trick to this thing? That’s hard training!
I remember when Shang Zhen was as skinny as a fat man, Mr. Wang even gave Shang Zhen the nickname of a fat man himself.
But who else can call Shang Zhen Ma Gan'er now? Didn't Shang Zhen also develop from "Ma Gan'er" to "Shandong Green Onion" step by step?
Finally, Mr. Wang is done.
He relaxed his arms and lay on the ground for a moment, then turned over and sat up. He looked at the little dustpan Chen Hanwen and Chu Tian doing push-ups again, and then he started to comment: "Young face, look at you sticking your butt out there, your movements are like What?"
Chu Tian's body was covered with sweat, his face was red and he didn't say a word, but he still insisted on doing it.
At this time, people like Guan Tiedou and others who joined later had already finished.
Only then did Guan Tiedou realize that not all veterans were better than them. They were also practicing hard. This time they had no opinions. Everyone was fair and unanimous!
Finally, the last three people were left to complete the second hundred.
Shang Zhen asked everyone to rest for another five minutes, and then did the third hundred.
And this set of push-ups is naturally slower to do.
Newcomers like Guan Tiedou had something to compare with this time, so they looked at the slowest little dustpans and them.
Their idea, of course, is that we will make as many as you make. If you don’t do it, we will just follow suit and let it go.
But to their surprise, although they were very slow in making the dustpan, and sometimes they couldn't hold it up and just fell to the ground, they would never give up!
"You don't have to look at them. Their bodies are not as strong as yours, but they, whether they are the oldest or the youngest, were all killed on the battlefield. This kind of thing cannot be opportunistic." Shang Zhen said beside him. .
When Guan Tiedou and the others heard what Shang Zhen said, they could only grit their teeth and persist.
After finishing the third hundred, there was already a crowd of people lying in the open space of their company's barracks.
In the end, it was Mr. Wang who took the lead to sit up and said, "Captain Shang, it's your turn this time. We've all increased the pressure, do you have to increase it too?"
"Yesterday I made 600. Today I will make 800." Shang Zhen said calmly.
So after a while, more than thirty soldiers sat on the ground and watched Shang Zhen doing push-ups alone.
At first, only one or two people counted for Shang Zhen, but then everyone started counting, and the sound of counting echoed in front of the room.
When Shang Zhen really finished eight hundred push-ups, his soldiers burst into cheers.
"Boy, Mr. Shang, should all learn from our company commander. Our company commander is an honest man!" Mr. Wang sighed.
Mr. Wang remembered that when Shang Zhen first arrived, he was as timid as a mouse and as thin as a hemp pole.
And now, although he is not the strongest among the soldiers, he has unknowingly trained his body to be like this.
Isn’t that an honest person? Only honest people will suffer this kind of hardship!
By this time, Shang Zhen had already turned over and was lying on the open ground. He was also exhausted.
“As long as you don’t want to die, you have to not be afraid of death and you have to be able to endure hardship.
If you endure a lot of hardship, you may not survive in a war, but if you cannot endure hardship in normal times, you will definitely die in a war! "Shang Zhen said looking at the blue sky.
At this moment, he thought a lot about those familiar and unfamiliar faces that had passed away.
But at this moment, there were footsteps outside the open space, and a soldier ran over. He was the brigade's correspondent.
"Tell your company commander to go to the brigade and ask the brigade commander to find him!" said the soldier.
