Time flies, and a month passes in the blink of an eye, and the time comes to November 1938.
The conditions of all the wounded soldiers have improved greatly. Except for Wang Erdou, the unlucky man with a broken calf, the others can go to the fields and some can even help the villagers carry water and chop firewood.
It was Liu Yudun who served them generously. Otherwise, they would not have recovered so quickly without the original food conditions.
In order to help these wounded soldiers recuperate, Liu Yu emptied all his family resources. White flour and canned meat were given priority to the wounded. The others could only eat compressed biscuits and coarse grains borrowed from the common people to satisfy their hunger.
I have been eating compressed biscuits this month, and the other soldiers are fine. They all think the compressed biscuits are delicious and help them resist hunger.
But Liu Yu almost vomited.
I also used the small gift package of Ten-man Kill given by the system. It was said that the items were randomly generated, but the four items were still drawn.
Strolling on the path outside Yangcun, Liu Yu thought about the next direction.
In the middle of last month, the Japanese launched a large-scale raid on the two major base areas of the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi and Shanxi-Hebei-Henan. The Eighth Route Army suffered heavy losses and its sphere of influence shrank.
But there was also gain. Koji Tsuneoka, the commander of the Japanese independent mixed second brigade, was shot dead by our army in Guangling.
And the person who succeeded him was none other than Lady Abe, who was later called the "Flower of the Famous General"...
Um, okay, it’s Norihide Abe!
To say that this independent second brigade is also miraculous, the first two brigade commanders have become the experience babies of the Eighth Route Army to gain military exploits, especially Abe Norihide, who was promoted to lieutenant general when he died.
In one fell swoop, he became the highest number of enemy chiefs killed by our Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance!
Of course, before him there was the division commander of the 114th Division, Numata Tokushige. Unfortunately, this old devil was injured by the Shandong Eighth Route Army and had to be carried in the hospital for a period of time, so that we thought he was not dead, otherwise he should have won the award. The honor of "the highest general killed by our army since the Anti-Japanese War".
What a pity, it would have been better to have died then!
Let’s go a little further and get back to the topic.
Because there are main forces in the front to spread hatred, many armed forces behind enemy lines, including Liu Yu's unit, have little impact. Some even boldly harass the Japanese highways, which restrains many enemies for the main forces.
Because there were so few people on Liu Yu's side, there was little point in pulling them out, so he simply stayed in Yangcun and took good care of the wounded soldiers.
Now that the wounded soldiers are almost all well, it's time to plan the development of the army.
For a month, he was not idle. According to the memory of his previous life, he wrote down all the infantry drills and various rules and regulations from when he was a soldier, and asked the literate people in the team to copy several copies. He also called on the manpower to build several training grounds outside the village, and after preparing to expand the troops, the training began.
After thinking about it, Liu Yu returned to Yangcun and called everyone for a meeting.
In the courtyard where wounded soldiers were recovering, Liu Yu moved a table and sat in front, while everyone else sat on the open space in front of him.
Liu Yu held a small notebook in his hand and checked the contents. After confirming that there were no problems, he said: "Let me tell you a little bit. Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the next development of our county brigade. Let me talk about it first. My opinion. I think we now have relatively sufficient weapons and ammunition, so the next step is of course to expand our troops. Wu Hongbo!"
"arrive!"
A tall, thin, gentle man with glasses stood up.
Well, this Wu Hongbo was the one who was pulled by Liu Yu to copy the infantry drill code. He spent a month copying more than 30 copies.
Although he looks delicate, he looks like a weakling. In fact, he is not only a college student, but also comes from a martial arts family in Peking. Drop one.
Speaking of which, Wu Hongbo was a serious intellectual, a student of Peking Normal University. He dropped out of school after the July 7th Incident and joined our party in Peiping. Later, with the help of the underground party, he came to Shanxi and joined the Eighth Route Army.
If he had not participated in the Anti-Japanese War, he might have become a middle school mathematics teacher.
He is only twenty years old this year!
Originally, the organization planned for him to enter the Anti-Japanese War for further study. After graduation, he would be transferred directly to the front line to become a regiment-level cadre. However, this boy said that he was tired of studying and wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese.
So when the 771st Regiment started as deputy platoon leader, he was already the company instructor of the 2nd Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 771st Regiment before he was injured.
It was also his bad luck. When cleaning the battlefield, a Japanese soldier pulled a grenade. His stomach was cut open by the grenade shrapnel, and his intestines were exposed.
"The task of recruiting soldiers will be left to you. Counting Wang Erdou who is still lying inside, we currently have 41 veterans. In order not to reduce the overall combat effectiveness of the army, in principle, one veteran will lead two recruits, so we still need Recruit 80 new soldiers. There are wars everywhere now, and we may be attacked by the Japanese at any time, so the recruitment process must be fast. I only give you three days."
Wu Hongbo heard this, thought for a moment, and then said with a firm expression: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
Liu Yu looked at him and said seriously: "Don't just think about completing the task, but also ensure the quality. Those who smoke, drink, and gamble, don't want them!"
"clear!"
Liu Yu's recruitment standards are very strict, unlike those of the GM party's security team who just pick up any man they want and recruit them into the team.
The same was true for the former Liu Yu. When recruiting troops, he only picked those who were strong and courageous. Otherwise, they would not have been able to rush up and kill the ten Japanese with the machine guns of the little Japs last time.
Liu Yu himself felt it was a pity when he thought about it later. Those were all good soldiers. As long as they were systematically trained, even if they were inferior in equipment, it was not impossible to have a one-to-one battle loss ratio with the Japanese.
After signaling Wu Hongbo to sit down, Liu Yu continued: "Now we will announce the personnel appointments of our county brigade. After research and decision by the brigade headquarters, it is planned to form a subordinate company of the county brigade based on the existing strength, with three platoons under its jurisdiction. Appointments Comrade Liu Yu is the brigade captain and first company commander!"
"Appoint Comrade Wu Hongbo as deputy captain of Jingxing County Brigade and instructor of the first company!"
"Appoint Comrade Jiang Fengchun as platoon leader of the first company and platoon, and Comrade Zhang Erxi as platoon deputy!"
"Appoint Comrade Li Desheng as platoon leader of the second platoon of the first company, and Comrade Zhang Liankai as platoon deputy!"
"Appoint Comrade Xu Daqiang as the platoon leader of the third platoon of the company, and Comrade Wang Guogui as the platoon deputy!"
"Each squad leader is appointed by each platoon leader. The list is compiled and reported to the brigade headquarters."
As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, the people below began to whisper, and some were secretly happy, such as those who became cadres.
Some are complaining, saying that Liu Yu, the so-called brigade leader, is the only one who is just pretending.
Liu Yu looked at the commotion and clapped his hands to calm everyone down.
"I have finished speaking. If you comrades have any questions, please feel free to ask them."
At this time Wu Hongbo stood up again and asked: "Captain, why did you set up a company instructor instead of a brigade instructor?"
Liu Yu smiled: "Our county brigade will definitely develop greatly in the future. One instructor is not enough. I will have to set up a political commissar for the regiment in the future!"
"Just blow it!" Li Desheng complained at that time with his lips curled up.
Jiang Fengchun also laughed and said: "That's right, political commissar of the regiment, do you think our county brigade will have thousands of people in the future?"
"Hey, let's not talk about it. As for the brothers in this courtyard now, sooner or later I will let you act like a battalion commander or a regiment commander."
Liu Yu was thick-skinned and was not afraid of their booing. He continued: "If you don't believe me, let's wait and see. This will only happen in two or three years!"
With the system in hand, I own the world!
Liu Yu said these are all small things.
