As soon as the Independent Group received the call, Li Yunlong jumped up like a clockwork machine: "Bullhorner, blow the assembly horn! Damn it, it's almost moldy in this place where you can't even see a ghost."

, finally waiting for a glorious day!"

As he said this, Li Yunlong hung the box cannon around his neck and said to Zhao Gang, who was also busy: "This little Northeast is almost as good as a fortune teller. If there is a war, there will be a war! Morning!

If you know it, you should go to Zhang Wanhe's place earlier to grind some things!"

Zhao Gang quickly put his leggings on his hands and said: "This battle is different from what Xiao Dongbei said. We are going to fight Xue Quxu. This is a tough battle. Even if you grind thousands of bullets, it will be of no use."

?”

"Why is it useless?" Li Yunlong replied without thinking: "Japanese cars and backpacks are all running on the highway. If we want to attack a difficult situation, is it difficult for us to just go up and attack? Why don't we block the highways at both ends first?"

As he spoke, Li Yunlong ran out anxiously and shouted at the assembled soldiers: "Move quickly, don't let the duck in your mouth fly away!"

Zhao Gang in the room couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and secretly thought that this was reasonable. Li Yunlong's mind was so fast that he could tell the idea of ​​​​this critical battle in one sentence.

Therefore, "In war, listen to Li Yunlong, and in life, listen to Zhao Gang." Zhao Gang really had to accept this.

Wang Xuexin didn't know this. Before the assembly horn sounded, he was leading more than thirty men to lay mines.

Wang Xuexin is very familiar with the matter of laying mines. When he used bullet mines for experiments before, he used bullet mines from all directions and angles, and one cloth contained dozens or hundreds of mines. Now he can lay them with his eyes closed.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Xuexin roughly understood the soldiers under his command:

The first squad leader is also the former platoon leader Fang Hu, nicknamed Hu Zi. He was a landlord and a laborer, and he is good at using a sword.

Perhaps he was used to being bossed around in the landlord's house, so he didn't have any ideas.

Originally, Wang Xuexin thought that Li Yunlong's removal of the platoon leader Fang Hu and his replacement would make Fang Hu feel unhappy.

Unexpectedly, Huzi waved his hands vigorously: "Platoon leader, don't tell me this, you saved my life!"

Wang Xuexin felt strange, how could he still save his life by taking away his position as platoon leader?

Later, Wang Xuexin found out that Fang Hu was really not talking nonsense. Although he could fight and be full of energy, he was just simple-minded and didn't like to think about things. It would be best if someone shouted to him every day:

"Huzi, bring two boxes of grenades!"

"Huzi, nod the head."

"Huzi, beat the devil to death!"

"Huzi..."

He would do whatever others yelled at him, so that Hu Zi would feel comfortable.

He can be a squad leader, but once he becomes a platoon leader and has more than thirty people under his command, being sent out to perform tasks alone will cost his life...

What are you going to do now?

Are they fighting the Japanese or ambushing them?

Why don't you ask your superiors for instructions?

No one told me how to do it!

Therefore, if we were to judge him based on his military exploits, he should have been the platoon leader long ago, but in terms of his commanding ability, he was neither willing nor able to do it for public or private purposes, so when he heard that someone from above was coming to replace him as the platoon leader

, the whole person felt relaxed.

The second and third squad leaders are both new recruits, freshly recruited from the county guerrilla brigade.

The Independent Regiment suffered more than 400 casualties in the battle at Lijiapo... Hand-to-hand combat was like this, and there was basically no big difference in casualties between the enemy and ourselves. At that time, there were still more than 500 Japanese soldiers.

Although the Independent Regiment had advantages in morale, numbers, and grenades, the Japs had the upper hand in terms of quality, so in the end more than 400 Japs defeated more than 500 Japs... This was already a pretty good casualty ratio for the Eighth Route Army.

However, the Independent Regiment only had more than a thousand men. The casualties of more than 400 people represented a one-third reduction in the Independent Regiment's strength.

Therefore, we had to bring back the second line in Zhaojiayu to rest and replenish our troops while training to regain our strength, and at the same time, we could run in the new and veteran soldiers.

Replenishing the supply of troops is very simple, that is, to recruit some outstanding guerrillas or those with good physical fitness from the county brigade.

These people must have combat experience. Most of them have never fought in a decent battle, and some have never even fired a gun.

Let's just say they have no combat experience. They did things like tearing up railway tracks, stealing equipment, gathering intelligence, and even assassinating Japanese and traitors.

The second squad leader, Chen Hao, was "mainly responsible for digging out the railroad tracks. Even if the Japanese patrolled, he could always find the right time and space to dig out a few sections of railroad tracks and come back."

The third squad leader, Zhou Ping, was originally conducting intelligence work in enemy-occupied areas, but he couldn't help but killed a traitor and his identity was exposed, so he had to come back.

The two of them were so excited when they first joined the Eighth Route Army, and they were full of enthusiasm and energy all day long.

These two guys have long heard of Wang Xuexin's deeds, so from the day Wang Xuexin joined the army, they looked at Wang Xuexin with admiration in their eyes, and gathered around him whenever they had time:

"Platoon leader, tell us about your combat experience!"

"Platoon leader, I also want to learn the Japanese language and fool the Japanese like you!"

"Platoon leader, I heard that your marksmanship is flawless. Can you teach me a few tricks?"

…

Wang Xuexin is hard to describe in one sentence!

This is not to say that such a spirit is not good, their determination and courage to resist Japan are admirable, and it is also a good thing for the troops.

The problem is that……

Recruits who are too excited and excited will often have a very low survival rate because they compete for performance on the battlefield.

Most of the second and third squads were recruits like them, and the veterans were all assigned to Fang Hu's first squad.

If you want the new recruits to live longer or more people to survive, you should mix the new recruits with the veterans. For example, you can use one veteran to lead two new recruits, and the new recruits will gradually learn to fight with the veterans.

But in this way, no squad can fight. What if there is a combat mission?

In the end, Wang Xuexin decided to stick to the original organization without changing anything.

The reason is that the battle is just around the corner and there is no time to adjust. Any changes will cause too much unfamiliarity between the soldiers and between the squad leader and the soldiers, which will affect the combat effectiveness.

Sometimes it is difficult for Wang Xuexin to imagine how such a force finally grew into a force capable of defeating the United Nations Army composed of elites from more than a dozen countries.

At this time the assembly horn sounded.

Chen Hao and Zhou Ping immediately jumped up with excitement:

"Platoon leader, are you going to fight the Japanese?"

"Finally I have a mission!"

…

Wang Xuexin couldn't help but cursed: "Can you two please stop for me?"

Looking at the two people who were confused, Wang Xuexin gave another order: "Listen to me. When we go to the battlefield, you will follow the first squad. You will do whatever the first squad does! Do you understand?"
