At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Liu Gen called out the soldiers. During the previous week's training, the soldiers had not done any physical training.
Loading and shooting artillery shells is very tiring, and it can also play a role in physical training. But in the future, soldiers will no longer be so relaxed, and physical training is still quite necessary. Whether it is the transfer of infantry guns or the transportation of artillery shells
etc., all require soldiers to have strong enough physical fitness.
Besides, Liu Gen knows the stock of artillery shells in the new regiment. Once the artillery shells are used up and cannot be replenished, the soldiers of the artillery company should also need to go to the front line to fight. When it is not an emergency, the soldiers of the artillery company will not go there easily.
, but the Japs’ fighting power is so strong, it’s better to prepare early. Liu Gen didn’t want the artillery company to only be able to fire artillery, but not to fight the Japs head-on.
If there were enough artillery shells, then Liu Gen wouldn't care too much about this. Unfortunately, the situation faced by the Eighth Route Army is quite severe. Not to mention the Japanese, even the national army will suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army and prevent the Eighth Route Army from getting stronger. Not to mention
, after the Anti-Japanese War entered a stalemate stage, the national army made many small moves.
Physical training is relatively simple, running five kilometers and doing 500 push-ups, which is not too much. In later generations, this was the training of ordinary soldiers, and some special forces had a much larger amount of training.
However, Liu Gen ignored one thing, that is, the physical fitness of the soldiers cannot be compared with that of later generations. Compared with the soldiers of later generations, the soldiers of the artillery company lack nutrition, which means that the standards of future generations cannot be used.
Soldiers from the artillery company. After finishing the five-kilometer cross-country run, Liu Gen could see many soldiers collapsed on the ground, unable to continue training.
Liu Gen could see that the soldiers did not want to be lazy, but that their bodies could not support them to continue training. A week of training made Liu Gen overestimate the physical fitness of the soldiers. Now that he saw this happening, he
Deeply aware of his own shortcomings, he should not use the standards of future generations to demand the soldiers of the artillery company.
In order for the soldiers of the artillery company to fight effectively, a large amount of nutrition is undoubtedly needed to supplement the soldiers' consumption. The meals eaten on weekdays cannot replenish the soldiers, and there are too few nutrients. Liu Gen has a headache.
, he opened his personal panel and wanted to find a solution from the system, but there was no mall in the system, and it was impossible to purchase any supplies.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Liu Gen thought of the large-scale production movement that would appear in two years. Such a large-scale production movement would greatly improve the predicament of the Eighth Route Army. Liu Gen could not affect the overall situation, but he could organize his own artillery company soldiers.
They reclaim wasteland and become as self-sufficient as possible without affecting training and combat.
Even if they are unable to be self-sufficient, they may be able to get more food, which can also enhance the physical fitness of the soldiers of the artillery company. Only by eating more can they have physical training. Liu Gen became a little excited. The more he thought about it, the more he felt
This method is feasible. It is March now, which is just suitable for planting. If it is later, it may affect the planting.
There are many crops suitable for planting in Shanxi, including sorghum, millet, corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, barley, buckwheat, peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes and a variety of vegetables.
It can be said that as long as Liu Gen leads the soldiers of the artillery company to open up the land in time, something will be harvested by then. Even if the new regiment is not here by then, friendly troops can still come to collect it. If this is not possible, the villagers can also come.
Accept it, the villagers should be very willing to accept it.
Thinking of the villagers in the village, Liu Gen also thought that the new regiment could cooperate with the villagers to plant, the soldiers could cultivate the land, and distribute seeds to the villagers, and the crops would be left to the villagers to take care of, and they would be given
It should also be feasible to give villagers a certain amount of food as payment. There may not be many villagers in a village, but the new regiment has three battalions and more than a thousand soldiers. If the soldiers are spread out, more villagers can be mobilized.
.
Liu Gen was a little excited. He was sure that his idea was feasible. What he needed to do most now was to get the support of Ding Wei, the regiment leader. Without Ding Wei's support, Liu Gen could only do this with the soldiers of the artillery company.
If you do one thing, there will be a certain harvest, but it will not affect the overall situation. If you plant it earlier, you will get more harvest later.
Even if the Eighth Route Army only dedicates a part of its soldiers to do this, it will make the soldiers fuller and their physical fitness will become better. Even if everything goes well, they can also consider raising pigs and ducks. Shanxi is very hilly.
You can definitely open up a secret place to raise pigs, chickens, etc.
After having breakfast and letting the soldiers train on their own, Liu Gen quickly walked towards the regiment headquarters. He wanted to find Ding Wei, express his thoughts and get as much support as possible from the regiment leader Ding Wei.
Arriving at the regiment headquarters, Liu Gen walked into the room and saw Ding Wei just starting to have breakfast. As the regiment leader, Ding Wei's breakfast was similar to that of the soldiers, with just an extra pickle. Seeing Liu Gen coming,
Ding Wei was a little surprised. At this time, shouldn't Liu Gen be leading the soldiers of the artillery company for training?
"Genzi, are you here? Have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat something together?" Ding Wei asked with a smile.
Liu Gen shook his head and said, "Captain, I have eaten. You can eat."
"Genzi, what's the matter with you?" Ding Wei looked at Liu Gen, saw the strangeness in Liu Gen's expression, and put down his chopsticks.
"Captain, I won't wait until you finish eating. It won't be too late." Liu Gen said.
Ding Wei picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, "Genzi, you'd better just tell me directly. What you said should be very important, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me so early."
"It's like this, commander, I took the soldiers of the artillery company to train this morning. After five kilometers of cross-country, many soldiers collapsed on the ground. They couldn't bear such training. This kind of training is not heavy, but
The soldiers just can't bear it, their physical fitness is too poor."
"When I fought with the Japs on the bayonet, I discovered that the skills of the soldiers were not bad, but the Japs were no match for the bayonet. The Japs were able to win because of their physical fitness. The Japs' soldiers drank milk since childhood.
, eat meat, and their physical fitness is much stronger than ours. If you want to win in a bayonet fight with the Japanese, you cannot just train your skills." Liu Gen said solemnly.
Ding Wei nodded, he knew this, "Genzi, I know this, but you also know that our new regiment does not have a lot of supplies. If we fully supply the soldiers, we will not be able to sustain it for too long. We
This is true for the New Group, not to mention other groups. If you have any ideas, just say it directly."
Looking at Liu Gen, Ding Wei had some expectations. Maybe Liu Gen could bring him a little surprise.
