In late July, after Liu Gen finished his work at the arsenal, he started the new recruitment process for the artillery school.
Due to the strict raids and blockades carried out by the Japanese in the anti-Japanese base areas, Liu Gen could no longer personally select suitable students from each unit. He could only give each unit a standard and hope that they could find some good candidates themselves.
After each unit learned that the Artillery School was recruiting a new batch of trainees, they all hoped to get more places. Eventually, the number of trainees for the new batch of artillery trainees reached 300.
The number of students in the second phase was three times that of the first phase, but it was still within the range that the artillery school could bear. This was also because Liu Gen left Wang Chao and others to teach at the artillery school. Otherwise, if the artillery school still had only
If Liu Gen serves as an instructor by himself, no matter how capable Liu Gen is, he will still be too busy.
It was early August when the students from each unit successfully arrived at Huangyadong. However, after the students successfully arrived at Huangyadong, they were in a very embarrassing state. Among them, there were even more students from several units who did not succeed.
After arriving, Liu Gen got a lot of information after inquiring about relevant information. Those students who did not arrive had encountered Japanese.
Even if the students were extra careful when going to Huangyadong, some students still unfortunately encountered the Japanese mopping up troops. Facing the Japanese mopping up troops, the students were weak and were no match for the Japanese mopping up troops. Encountered by the Japanese.
None of the Japanese students could successfully escape. They used up all the ammunition they carried and desperately fought back against the Japanese, but unfortunately died.
After learning about the casualties among the trainees, Liu Gen was somewhat silent, but he quickly regained his composure and began training the new batch of trainees.
Liu Gen didn't have much time to grieve for the students who died. He could only turn his grief into motivation and put more expectations on the students who successfully arrived. In the end, the new batch of students was scheduled to have 300 places.
, but in fact, only 212 students successfully arrived at Huangyadong, and the remaining students who did not arrive all died unfortunately.
On the list of the new students of the Artillery School, there are the names of those students who sacrificed their lives. They were originally members of the Artillery School, and Liu Gen will never forget them.
There are many advantages to locating the artillery school in Huangyadong. Liu Gen can easily travel between the arsenal and the artillery students to give full play to his abilities. The students can also have more exposure to artillery.
To increase their understanding of artillery and improve their related skills.
On this day, Liu Gen inspected the training ground. In order to facilitate the training of the students, a large training ground was opened in Huangyadong. The training facilities may be a bit crude, but they can also facilitate the training of the students.
It will help to a certain extent. With the arsenal here, Liu Genzai can definitely find more ways to train the students.
After all, it is very simple to build something in the arsenal.
"Instructor Liu, the division headquarters sent a telegram. I hope you can go back to the division headquarters." A telegraph operator sent a telegram from the division headquarters. The message above was very simple, asking Liu Gen to go back.
After receiving this telegram, Liu Gen was a little confused. As far as he knew, the division headquarters was also busy preserving the anti-Japanese forces during this period, directing the troops to avoid the Japanese raids as much as possible. Now let his division headquarters, what will happen?
What? After Liu Gen realized that he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. When he returned to the division headquarters, he would be able to get the answer easily.
"Call back to the division headquarters and I will leave immediately to return to the division headquarters." Liu Gen ordered the telegraph operator beside him.
The telegraph operator quickly left, and after Liu Gen explained to Wang Chao and others the upcoming training for the students, he rode directly out of Huangya Cave. For safety, Liu Gen brought two soldiers as guards. Originally, he was
He didn’t want to take him with him, but he couldn’t bear the constant demands of Wang Chao and others. In Liu Gen’s opinion, the distance between the division headquarters and Huangyadong was not that far, and it wouldn’t take him too long to return to the division headquarters. It shouldn’t be
What dangers will you encounter?
After leaving Huangyadong, Liu Gen confirmed the direction and quickly headed towards the division headquarters.
On the road, Liu Gen and the two soldiers were very vigilant. As long as they heard any abnormal noise, they would hide temporarily. If Liu Gen was alone, he might not be like this, but now the two soldiers are following him,
Liu Gen's strength will not cause problems easily, but these two warriors are different.
The two soldiers had no problem with keeping alert, and they also practiced this in their daily training.
By the time Liu Gen and the others successfully returned to the division headquarters, it was already evening, just in time for dinner at the division headquarters. Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the division headquarters safely. On the way, even though Liu Gen and the others were extra vigilant, they still encountered
When they arrived at the enemy, they only encountered some puppet troops. After several were killed by Liu Gen and the others, the puppet troops gave up the pursuit.
After having dinner at the division headquarters cooking class, Liu Gen went to the division headquarters to find the division commander. Along the way, he could see that the division headquarters was very tightly defended and there were many hidden sentries. But Liu Gen could also see that the division headquarters was not
If there is no attack, then what's going on with such a tight defense now?
"Liu Gen, the interim principal of the 129th Division Artillery School, is here to report!" Liu Gen shouted loudly outside the war room.
In the war room, the division commander laughed. He knew that if Liu Gen returned to the division headquarters this time, Liu Gen would cause something to happen. No, Liu Gen showed his dissatisfaction even before they met.
"come in!"
Liu Gen walked into the war room and found that there were still many people busy here at night. The division commander stood in front of the map and it was obvious.
"Sir, why did you ask me to go back to the division headquarters this time?" Liu Gen came to the division commander and asked with a playful smile.
Outside the door, Liu Gen dared to show his dissatisfaction, but now, in front of the teacher, he did not have such courage. Even Li Yunlong did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the teacher, let alone Liu Gen
Yes, his achievements are good, but after all, he is not as generous as Li Yunlong.
"Go get yourself a cup of tea first. You have just returned to the division headquarters, so don't worry." The division commander patted Liu Gen on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Finding that the teacher didn't seem to be in a hurry, Liu Gen immediately relaxed. It seemed that nothing big happened, otherwise the teacher wouldn't be so calm. Of course, even if something big happened, it wouldn't have much to do with Liu Gen.
, with the teacher here, Liu Gen is not needed for really big things.
He found a cup. After rinsing it, Liu Gen poured himself a cup of water. Seeing some tea leaves on the teacher's table, Liu Gen carefully took a few pieces and threw them into the cup. Shake the cup gently, and the tea leaves rotated in the cup.
Ups and downs.
The teacher felt somewhat helpless when he saw Liu Gen's little act of casually taking tea leaves. These tea leaves were some that he got from his bosses. Now it was better. He had only drank a few times when Liu Gen saw him.
The teacher picked up the tea leaves and threw them decisively into the drawer. He felt that the tea leaves were no longer safe after being seen by Liu Gen.
"Sir, are you okay? Are you still worried that I will take your tea?" Liu Gen said helplessly as he watched the teacher put away the tea.
I just took a few pieces of tea. How do you think the teacher meant to treat me as a thief? It was just a little tea. How could Liu Gen care? He looked away from the drawer that the teacher had closed. It was the first drawer on the left side of the table.
, Liu Gen’s memory is still pretty good.
"You are overthinking. You are a talent in the eyes of the bosses. As long as you want it, the bosses will definitely get you some tea. I finally got this tea from under Mr. Peng's fingernails."
, you kid, don’t even think about tea." The teacher scolded with a smile.
Liu Gen didn't go back to the division headquarters many times, but every time he returned to the division headquarters, he had to take something with him. At the beginning, the division commander didn't care. Liu Gen had no problem taking things from the division headquarters, as long as he could cultivate
Just more good artillery.
The first batch of trainees who graduated from the artillery school performed very well after being assigned to various units. Moreover, after these artillery soldiers were assigned to each unit, they also took the initiative to teach the artillery soldiers of each unit and help them improve.
In just two months, the artillery level of each unit of the Eighth Route Army has been greatly improved. The improvement of artillery level naturally means that the combat effectiveness of each unit has been improved.
After seeing how powerful these trainees who graduated from the artillery school are, all units of the 129th Division hope to get more graduates from the artillery school, so that the combat effectiveness of their respective units can be improved again. It can be said that those who graduated from the artillery school
The students directly became the favorites in the eyes of various troops.
"Teacher, you think too bad of me."
"Look at every time I took something from the division headquarters, either for the students under my command or for the development of the arsenal. If you think I will take your tea, you are a bit unjust." Liu Gen said with a helpless expression.
Liu Gen felt that his reputation in the division headquarters was pretty good. His comrades were very enthusiastic about him. Even if he took something away from the division headquarters, he did not have any bad impact on other people in the division headquarters. But now, why did the division commander
Why are you so guarded against him? Liu Gen feels really wronged!
"Ahem, Genzi, let's not worry about the tea. I asked you to go back to the division headquarters today. There is indeed something you need to do."
"This matter is quite important. It is related to Yan'an. You need to go to Yan'an. If you hurry up, it may not take half a month. Your kid hasn't visited Yan'an yet. It's not easy to do so now.
You kid must cherish this opportunity." The teacher looked at Liu Gen with eyes full of expectation.
There was obvious surprise on Liu Gen's face. It turned out to be something over there in Yan'an? What exactly was it? Liu Gen couldn't think of anything, and he didn't know what things were waiting for him.
