Veterinarian Hao and Ayi were sitting together, talking about something unknown.
Xia Yuan and Meng Fangliao were sitting together. Xia Yuan looked at him and said, "I have something on my mind."
Meng Fangla looked up at his regimental leader, shook his head and pretended to be relaxed: "Why are you worried? We are not going to the battlefield. I am a little nervous."
Xia Yuan sat on the ground, looked at the defeated soldiers in the yard, and said, "Meng is annoyed..."
Meng Fanlao opened his mouth and stopped: "Captain, you'd better call me Fanlao."
Xia Yuan stopped insisting and said, "I'm sorry, believe it or not, I'm pretty good at judging people."
Meng was annoyed and asked: "How accurate?"
Xia Yuan pointed at the defeated soldiers in the yard and said: "None of them are as smart as you, but you are so good at disguising yourself. You use arrogance and arrogance to disguise yourself and hide your true self in your heart. If you were an ordinary person, you might
I hate you, but if I meet someone who can read people very accurately, like me, I can understand you."
"People live not only for one breath, but you will be too tired if you live."
Meng was annoyed and said nothing for a long time:
"You are really wise and discerning. In this world, how can you survive without pretending..."
The more troubled the times, the more complex human nature becomes, especially the struggle for power within the Kuomintang. Their superiors do not regard them as human beings. If they want to survive, they can only survive like this.
"You can't survive by pretending." Xia Yuanyi pointed out, "Some people don't pretend, and they try their best to live. No matter what they do, no matter what they do, they
The purpose is the same as yours."
"Alive!"
Meng Fan looked at Xia Yuan with numbness. In front of Xia Yuan, he felt as if he was naked.
He thought of Xiaozui again, just as the group leader said.
To live.
Meng Fan didn't answer Xia Yuan's words anymore. He didn't know how to answer because he subconsciously thought that what Xia Yuan said was right.
The group of defeated soldiers in front of us were all trying to survive.
Who would be willing to die if he could live?
The meal was ready, and this time the soldiers did not eat like pigs like last time. Xia Yuan sat on half a stool, holding a steamed bun, and slowly ate cabbage, pork and vermicelli stew. The other soldiers sat on the steps.
He held the old rice bowl between his legs and ate slowly.
Changing them is a very difficult thing. Xia Yuan is also very patient. He is very patient with people and things. It is obviously not possible to turn them into a group of well-trained soldiers in just two days.
Possibly, this requires a lot of time.
After dinner, Xia Yuan took them for a night run. Considering the situation of Meng Fanle and Veterinary Hao, Xia Yuan asked the two of them to take care of the wounded. The wounded also needed to eat. Unfortunately, for the medicines that were in short supply,
Xia Yuan was powerless.
He only had one company of defeated troops at his disposal, and had no real power. The weapons and equipment were all inferior goods obtained from the black market, with low accuracy and a serious shortage of bullets.
If a fight really breaks out, the rout of one company may not be able to wipe out three squads of Japanese soldiers.
Not to mention the medicines that are in short supply right now.
They didn't run very far when a group of defeated soldiers ran out of breath. They all collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
Xia Yuan stopped, let out a breath, and said: "Your physical fitness is not good. On the battlefield, if the enemy chases you, at your level, it is estimated that it will not take long before you will be chased by the enemy."
Get on it and kill it."
Yaoma panted heavily and said: "Captain, I have run for five kilometers, I am exhausted."
Bu La said: "Captain, take a rest. We will never be ambiguous when we fight against Xiaodongyang."
Looking at the out-of-breath defeated soldiers, Xia Yuan said: "I will teach you a way to exhale and exhale. When running, inhale through the nose and breathe through the mouth. It is best to ensure a stable frequency. Two
Breathe in once and exhale, or inhale three times and exhale two times, according to the same frequency. Once you get used to it, you'll be fine."
After a pause, he added: "Okay, tonight's run will end here for now, and we will continue until early tomorrow morning."
A group of defeated soldiers dragged their tired bodies away.
Yu Xiaoqing's regiment headquarters.
Zhang Lixian came over with Xia Yuan's information and said, "Regimental leader, this is Xia Yuan's personal information. Besides, after my observation for a day, he doesn't seem to be very good at military training."
Yu Xiaoqing turned around, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "How do you say it?"
Zhang Lixian said: "Based on my observations today, I found that his way of training is very special. It is different from our training method. He divides the entire company into small groups, completely dispersing the firepower, and then divides the entire company into small groups.
practice."
Yu Xiaoqing put down the water tank and said: "Dividing a company into groups and groups completely disperses the firepower of a company. This method is not feasible. Firepower should be concentrated to maximize its effectiveness.
role.”
Turning around, he added: "He is learning the tactics of the Japanese. However, the tactics of the Japanese are not simple. They cannot just be divided into groups. They learn over and over again, and in the end they can only learn."
They look nothing like each other."
Zhang Lixian nodded: "I really don't know how he survived from Myanmar."
Yu Xiaoqing said: "These are not important. The soldiers on the front line need someone to take the lead in the charge. He is the best candidate at the moment. There is no intention to fight on the top of the mountain. We are asked to guard the Chanda area. The Japanese army is marching rampantly in Burma. Chanda's
There are so many defeated troops, and our allies in Burma need our support."
"He is the most suitable candidate!"
Yu Xiaoqing agreed with Xia Yuan's words. He had too many concerns. The Yu regiment did not belong to him, it belonged to his entire family. If the Yu regiment entered Burma to fight against Japan, once it was defeated, the family would be disqualified within the Kuomintang.
Advantages.
There are two advantages to collecting Zenda's defeated troops and sending them to fight in Burma. One is that it can avoid the casualties of the Yu regiment, and the other is that he will get a share of the credit for the victory of the defeated troops in Burma.
Even if Yu Xiaoqing doesn't want to admit this, the facts are right in front of her.
Yu Xiaoqing sighed and said to the young officer beside him: "We cannot disobey the orders of our superiors and cross the Nu River to fight in Burma. Now that the Japanese army has gained power in Burma, we only have one regiment, which is far from the opponent of the Japanese army. Moreover, across the Nu River,
Once the escape route is blocked, we will have nowhere to retreat, and once we fall, Zenda will be exposed to the Japanese gunfire."
Yu Xiaoqing thought about the countermeasures and said: "Collecting Zenda's defeated troops will reduce the image of the army in the hearts of the Zenda people. At the same time, sending them to fight in Burma can better boost their morale. This is a win-win situation."
"And we must be prepared to deal with the risk of Japanese invasion!"
Zhang Lixian, He Shuguang and other young officers nodded, knowing that the current situation was dangerous and Yu Tuan had to stay on the Jiang side and be on guard against incoming Japanese troops at all times.
This reminded many people of the non-resistance policy adopted by the national army after the September 18th Incident, which ultimately handed over the entire four eastern provinces.
The mountains and rivers were drifting, and they obviously felt chilled, but they had to do this.
If they enter Burma to resist, there is a high probability that the entire army will be annihilated. If they stay in Chanda to garrison, they may be able to hold Japan back across the Nu River.
The early morning training continued. Xia Yuan continued to lead the soldiers to run. Breakfast was made by Ma Dazhi, Meng Fanglia and Veterinary Hao. Fanla took the initiative to take over the task of cooking for the soldiers. Xia Yuan took the responsibility of cooking.
Snake Butt and Vet Hao were handed over to Fanla, and the three of them took on the responsibility of cooking.
The batter is paired with salty vegetables and some shredded pork in it. This is the breakfast for the defeated soldiers.
Training in the morning and afternoon is as usual.
The morning is physical training, the afternoon is three-three tactical training, and the evening is physical training.
After several days of training, the mental outlook of the cannon fodders has undergone earth-shaking changes. They are no longer sick and sick as before. At least during the time when Xia Yuan was here, he tried his best to make every defeated soldier eat as much as possible.
Serving food, but also feeding more than a hundred people is a huge waste of money.
Meng Fan limped to find Xia Yuan, sat next to him, and said: "Captain, if this continues, more than a hundred people will have nothing to eat. I think it's better to give up training, at least when they don't move.
, they are not very hungry, and during this period their mouths are filled with food from you."
Xia Yuan didn't say anything, just looked at Meng Fanzi quietly.
Meng Fan looked at him, "Look what I do."
He said: "The money you have now is not enough for them to be so busy. All the cans have been sold out. If you continue to be so busy, what will you eat in the future? Let alone training, it will probably return to the previous state."
kind of degree."
"Are you done?"
Meng Fanglia had almost finished talking before Xia Yuan spoke.
Meng Fanxia nodded blankly.
Xia Yuandao: "Compared with the Japanese, what do you think we lack?"
Meng Fanxiao didn't understand what Xia Yuan meant. After thinking about it, he replied: "Weapons and equipment, tactics, physical fitness, logistics?"
Xia Yuan smiled: "It's almost the same. In this Burma battle, we have the support of Britain and the United States. We absolutely don't need to worry about weapons and equipment. When the weapons and equipment are equal, what the soldiers compete with is who has the stronger will.
, whose individual soldier quality is higher."
"But is our fighting will weak? Many of our soldiers are not afraid of death. Why can't we still defeat them? That is because the quality and skills of individual soldiers are too far behind those of the Japanese."
"Let them eat something good and replenish their bodies during this period. This will give them a glimmer of hope to survive during the fight against the Japanese."
"You can make more money if you lose it, but you lose everything if you lose your life. And when you arrive in Myanmar, money loses its effect and is not as valuable as a can."
Meng Fan looked at Xia Yuan and said with some confusion: "You love soldiers so much, why was your previous regiment defeated?"
Xia Yuan said calmly: "Let's stay and end the relationship."
Meng Fanlao opened his mouth and understood a little bit. Cutting off the rear is basically equivalent to going to die. Very few teams who cut off the rear can come back alive. It is already a miracle that Xia Yuan can come back alive. His group is basically
They were all dispersed by the Japanese.
The fact is basically the same. The identity given by the system is that of the leader of the defeated regiment. His basic experience is that he was covering the retreat of the main force, but was defeated by the Japanese army. In the end, the entire regiment was defeated. He died and was injured. He was crushed in the ruins.
Next, he is alive only because of the system. Without the system, he would be dead.
Xia Yuan looked at him and said: "The Japanese are much stronger than us. If we want to defeat them, we must crush them in all aspects, from weapons and equipment, to tactics, to the quality of individual soldiers."
He can handle a company of Japanese soldiers by himself, which is more than enough.
But war is never fought by one person, it always requires the cooperation of a team.
Meng Fanglia thought for a moment and said, "I understand somewhat what you mean."
He began to change his view of Xia Yuan a little. At least Xia Yuan was different from other officials. He really liked their group of defeated soldiers. He was also a little lucky in his heart that it was Xia Yuan who recruited them instead of
Looks like Yu Xiaoqing of the regular army.
As time goes by, the appearance of Zenda's town has undergone earth-shaking changes. The original groups of broken soldiers on the streets are gradually disappearing, replaced by groups of well-equipped and well-trained Yu Xiaoqing's troops entering Zenda and taking over.
Zenda's defense line along the Nu River.
The number of broken soldiers in the city was significantly reduced. As the war in Burma became more intense, batches of broken soldiers were sent to Burma to fight the Japanese army.
Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang arrived, a bit unexpectedly. Their arrival stunned the defeated soldiers in the shelter for a few moments.
Kaname asked, "What are they doing here?"
Kang Ya said: "Then you still need to ask? I guess I'm going to Burma to fight against Japan."
Bula said: "Let's fight, kill these idiots, my gun will be almost empty."
The defeated soldiers were talking a lot, and Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang were also sizing up the defeated soldiers. The group of defeated soldiers in front of them had undergone earth-shaking changes from when they first met. Although each of them had returned to Tulan, their mental outlook was much better than before.
It was much better before. They used to look lifeless, but now they can straighten their backs calmly.
Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang looked at the man sitting on the stool and resting. All this was due to him. His appearance brought a glimmer of hope to the defeated soldiers.
But for Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang, there is no difference. They are both sent to the front line to fight.
Zhang Lixian came to Xia Yuan's side and saluted: "Captain Xia, our regiment has prepared a transport plane for your subordinates and will set off today."
Xia Yuan opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang standing beside him, and stretched, "Is the battle ahead very tight?"
Zhang Lixian said: "The Japanese advance was very fast, exceeding our expectations. According to the expectations of our superiors, it would take at least more than a month for the Japanese to defeat the British, but we did not expect that their speed exceeded everyone's expectations."
Imagine, they only spent ten days in a month."
Ten days!
All the defeated soldiers were speechless.
This speed was something that no one had expected, not even Meng Fanxiao, Milong and the others.
In fact, they were ready to go, but they never thought that this day would come so soon.
