Time flies, and another two months pass, arriving at the beginning of January 1939.
Liu Yu began to worry again.
This time it's not because of the food, there's enough food, this time it's because the bullets are not enough.
After a month of recruit training, the two recruit companies also started shooting training, which also involved five rounds of ammunition every morning.
As for the guns, of course, with the first company, everyone takes turns to fight, and even the logistics team is training.
Excluding Liu Yu and Wu Hongbo, the entire county brigade of 379 people, plus Ma Chao and several other shooters selected by Liu Yu for training, would have to shoot out nearly 2,000 rounds of ammunition every day.
In the end, it was Wu Hongbo who reacted first and immediately changed the daily live-fire target practice to once a week.
Liu Yu didn't agree at first. Wu Hongbo pointed at his nose and scolded him, "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't belong to the family."
Even so, by the end of January, the county brigade had less than 20 rounds of ammunition per capita.
"What? There's only so much left. You won't be corrupt, will you?" Liu Yu was wearing a cotton coat, hiding his hands in his sleeves, sitting on the stone pillar at the door to bask in the sun.
Just now Wu Hongbo walked up to him and told him that he was running out of ammunition.
After Liu Yu learned the specific number, his eyes widened.
"I'm so greedy for you! Everyone shoots down 5 rounds every time they hit the target. How many rounds are left after all these days, don't you know how to calculate it yourself?" Wu Hongbo rolled his eyes and said.
In the past, he complained to Liu Yu that the ammunition was consumed too quickly, but Liu Yu didn't take it seriously. Now he actually suspects him of corruption.
Damn it!
"So what? The training plan hasn't been completed yet!" Liu Yu said with a grimace.
Wu Hongbo responded directly: "You are the captain, you ask me?"
Liu Yu was speechless.
Finally, Liu Yu asked tentatively: "How about taking me out for a walk?"
Wu Hongbo curled his lips: "We should have pulled him out to fight the Japanese a long time ago. We train all day long, and the people in Yang Village are almost bored to death by us!"
Liu Yu bit his lip and thought for a moment, then said: "In this case, you ask Zhang Erxi to select a few smarter soldiers, let them go out for a walk in casual clothes, and get a feel for the specific conditions of the nearest strongholds, or stay in Look at the pattern of the Japanese transporting supplies on the highway."
"Okay, I'll pick someone right now!"
Speaking of going to war, Wu Hongbo was also a little excited and left in a hurry.
Wu Hongbo had just walked away, and before Liu Yu could close his eyes and bask in the sun, another figure appeared in front of him.
"team leader!"
The voice was very nice, and Liu Yu knew who was coming without even looking.
However, the appearance of the visitor was very eye-catching, so Liu Yu still raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.
"Comrade Xing'er, is something wrong?"
Yang Xing'er pouted and complained: "How many times have I told you, just call me Xing'er!"
"We in the Eighth Route Army call each other this way, it's called an honorific!" Liu Yu said matter-of-factly.
But looking at Yang Xing'er's straight eyes, he couldn't stand it anymore: "Okay, okay, Myolie!"
"Hey!" Yang Xing'er's stern face melted away instantly.
How about saying that women are born actors?
"Oh, by the way, I'm here to report on the mission!" Myolie Yang patted her little head, handed Liu Yu a list, and said, "Captain, the thousand pairs of cotton socks assigned by the organization have been prepared. And they’ve all been distributed!”
"So fast?" Liu Yu praised, "Good, good, well done, now comrades don't have to worry about frostbite on their feet!"
Hearing Liu Yu's praise, Myolie Yang was also very happy: "Since you did a good job, is there any reward?"
Liu Yu smiled and rolled his eyes at her: "I am very poor, so I can only give verbal praise."
"It's boring." Myolie Yang pouted, and then saluted Liu Yu, "The mission report is over, please give the captain new instructions!"
Myolie Yang was dressed in a military uniform, standing upright, with two braids under her military cap. Her cute and handsome look made Liu Yu fascinated.
Standing up, Liu Yu felt very distressed when he saw that Yang Xing'er's face was a little purple from the cold and a little chapped.
"I'll go to the county town another day and see if I can find some antifreeze oil for you. This little face is frozen!"
Myolie Yang didn't buy it, she poked Liu Yu with her finger, and said coquettishly: "Captain Liu, I've been freezing all winter, and now spring is about to begin, and you just now think of showing courtesy to me?"
"Uh..." Liu Yu smiled sarcastically: "Isn't this why I have been taking Ma Chao and the others into the mountains for training recently? I really didn't pay attention!"
"Bang!" Myolie Yang was obviously dissatisfied with Liu Yu's prevarication, but then she thought of something again and asked, "You haven't been seen all day long, and you are always practicing with Ma Chao and the others. What are you doing?"
"Sniper tactics!" Liu Yu was very proud when he said this, "Don't underestimate these people. When they grow up, their combat effectiveness will be at least as good as that of a company!"
When it comes to training Ma Chao and several snipers, Liu Yu got angry a lot, especially Ma Chao, that naughty kid. Liu Yu was so angry that he almost gave up on him several times!
The reason why I almost gave up is because Ma Chao is no longer so indispensable in Liu Yu's heart.
Because among the latest group of people recruited, there is one person who is more talented as a sniper than Ma Chao!
The man's name was Ye Fei, a very popular name. He was also from Orion and he was just eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year.
The reason why Ma Chao was able to restrain his personality a little later was also because of the appearance of Ye Fei. Not only did he have a good shooting talent, but his patience was simply awesome. He could lie motionless in the hay for an entire day!
He was really motionless. During a hidden training session, Liu Yu didn't even find him. After gathering, he discovered that his hands and face were covered with traces of insect bites!
Later, Liu Yu praised Ye Fei in front of Ma Chao: "A natural sniper, unlike some people who need training!"
Ma Chao, who was arrogant and arrogant, was finally hit, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.
The two also have different talents in shooting. Ma Chao is stronger than him with his abnormal vision like "clairvoyance", while Ye Fei is stronger with his gun sense.
You don’t even need to aim when shooting at a 100-meter target, just raise your hand and shoot faster than a horse!
When Liu Yu saw Ye Fei's shooting performance for the first time, he thought of a protagonist in a TV series he had watched in his previous life.
Yes, that's Shunliu!
It is precisely because of the mutual comparison and competition between the two in training that they both grew up very quickly. Among the eight people who participated in the sniper training carefully selected by Liu Yu, the two were the best.
As for Ma Biao, he doesn't need much training. This uncle can be said to be a very good sniper. He has been hunting for half his life. He has enough patience and perseverance, and his marksmanship is also top-notch, but he lacks some professional knowledge.
Liu Yu also wanted to help him improve this only shortcoming, but at the age of forty, his learning ability has really declined too much. It took him two months to teach him just a ballistic calculation formula and those symbols, but he still half understood it. status.
Change the symbols to Chinese?
The old man didn't know as many words as he could on his fingers, but the cultural classes every night in the past few months allowed him to recognize a few more words!
Therefore, he can only rely on himself to slowly learn and gradually enrich himself.
Seeing Liu Yu's arrogant look, Myolie Yang curled her lips: "Bragging!"
Liu Yu did not argue with her and said with a smile: "You will know if I am bragging in the future!"
"Okay, I won't bullshit you." Yang Xing'er said, "Are there any tasks to be assigned?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, you have been working very hard recently. You have to train, make shoes and socks, and have cultural classes in the evening. Let's take some rest first."
"Okay, then I'm leaving?"
"Go ahead."
When Myolie Yang left, Liu Yu did not sit down again, but raised his head to look at the warm sun in winter.
The days of relaxation and leisure will soon be gone forever.
