Zhou Wen looked at the eager Xiao Qi and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Qi, don't worry, I heard that you are a sharpshooter in the Volunteer Army. We will go for target practice tomorrow, and then we will have a look at Brother Xiao Qi's sharpshooting style."
Xiao Qi was embarrassed by Zhou Wen's comment. His three-legged cat's marksmanship, which he could show off in the volunteer army, was like a machete in front of Guan Gong in front of your scholar instructor's marksmanship that could not miss a shot from hundreds of meters away.
, overestimating one's ability.
Zhou Wen said to Lei Dahai again: "Brother Lei, I left you in the logistics team for several days. Do you blame me for not treating you well?"
"How could that be possible? Let's not talk about the life-saving grace of the chief. When we came to the pass, the chief gave us food and clothing. Brothers don't know how to repay this huge kindness."
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Take good care of your body, train well, and then kill more Japanese, that is the best reward for me. I also want to hear your opinions on how to arrange for you next."
Lei Dahai and others cheered up upon hearing this, but he quickly expressed his position: "As long as you can follow the team to kill the Japanese, I can do whatever you want, sir." "That's right, brothers have no objections, so I will listen to you, sir."
.”
Zhou Wen nodded and said: "Okay, I plan to arrange it this way. You have been fighting against the Japs in the Northeast these years. The environment is too difficult and the damage to the body is relatively large. We will have many training subjects later that have certain requirements for physical conditions.
So the first thing is to take good care of your health, there is no need to rush into this."
"Now the 25 of you will temporarily form a recruit team, divided into three squads. The captain will be Brother Lei, and the squad leader will be elected by you. When the injured brothers return to the team in the future, they will also be included in the recruit team. From today on
We need to carry out formal management from the beginning.”
"The team leader is responsible for daily life management, and the instructor is responsible for training and discipline."
"All of you are elites who have survived countless brutal battles. I believe in your abilities in terms of training. I have only one request, follow the command in all actions, and keep those who can do it. If I feel that I can't do it, I will also
I don’t force you, and I will give you enough resettlement fees. After all, you have been fighting against the little devils for several years. You don’t owe this country anything anymore, but this country owes you.”
"But." After saying this, Zhou Wen's face became serious and he raised his voice.
"The army is not a team to do business. You can come when you want and leave when you want. Those who want to stay should think about it. The army has military regulations and disciplines. From tomorrow on, military management will be implemented. At any time, you can leave if you want.
I can't leave. All brothers, please go back and think about it today. When you hear the assembly whistle tomorrow morning, those who come out to gather are those who are willing to join our mercenary group. Scholars, I welcome them. Those who don't come out to gather are those who want to leave. I will tell everyone
I will give you a resettlement fee of 100 yuan."
"Now that everyone is dismissed, I will ask Uncle Zhang to cook some more dishes in the evening, and we will have a few drinks together to have a welcome and farewell meal."
After finishing speaking, watching Lei Dahai and the others disperse with complicated expressions, Zhou Wen called on his brothers to clean their bodies. If he didn't wash himself and change his clothes, he would not be able to stand the stench on his body.
When Zhou Wen came back today, he was not in a hurry to go back to the headquarters in Lengkou. He just wanted to make some arrangements for Lei Dahai and the others. He couldn't leave people alone in the logistics team and ignore them.
That's why he explained so much to Lei Dahai and the others today.
As for the issue of whether to stay or leave, Zhou Wen still has to voluntarily, after all, forceful melons are not sweet. Besides, Lei Dahai and the others do not have any extraordinary skills, so Zhou Wen still has to think hard to retain people. Zhou Wen mainly admires them as good guys who resisted Japan.
I just want to give them a good ending.
But the ugly things to say are ahead. For them to join the team, they must first change some of their bad habits in the old army. Orders and prohibitions are only the basic requirements. There will be a series of conceptual transformations later. Otherwise, even if they pass the training, they will not be able to do it when they reach the second detachment.
It will bring some bad habits to those young soldiers, which will be worth the loss.
…
The time soon came to March 20th. The Yanshan Mountains were rarely blessed by the long-lost sunshine in this spring, and Lengkou Pass also enjoyed a rare peace of mind for more than a week.
The early morning sunshine scattered shadows in the quiet woods. The trees that had been sleeping silently in winter began to grow some green leaves and twigs amidst the chirping of birds, just like the scene more than a week ago.
The war between tens of thousands of people fighting each other has been as long as a century.
However, this rare tranquility was soon broken by a roar from the air, and the birds in the woods were frightened so much that they flapped their wings and flew high.
However, they soon discovered that in the sky in the distance, there were actually several huge giant birds, making deafening roars and roaring with a breath of death that made the birds tremble. The birds were frightened and ran around in panic.
Flying around.
At this time, Lieutenant Masato Hirota, who was driving the Mitsubishi Type 92 bomber, had no intention of paying attention to the birds that were almost paralyzed by fright. There was a slightly resentful expression on his slightly tired face.
Just because he was too tired.
Think about it, the average number of attendances in the past few days has been more than four times a day. Even with the mental support of fanatically building meritorious services for the empire, it cannot withstand the pain in various parts of the body and physical fatigue.
You must know that aircraft control during this period not only requires a high degree of concentration, but also requires a lot of effort, especially when you have to constantly pull the stiff control lever. After operating it for several hours a day, Masato Hirota felt that his arms were numb.
It's like being separated from the body.
At this moment, he was cursing the incompetence of those infantrymen. Seeing that they had occupied Gubeikou City Pass, they were blocked in front of the final Nantianmen position for several days in a row. As a result, he, who was the pilot of a reconnaissance plane, was also blocked.
If you are assigned to fly bombers and continue to take off for bombing every day, I will be tired!
After scolding those incompetent Army Malu, he began to scold the Chinese defenders at Gubeikou. Aren't you afraid of death? I go out for bombings several times a day, and I have seen it with my own eyes countless times.
The bombs blew up countless mutilated bodies, but why didn't you retreat? Don't you know that flesh and blood cannot withstand steel?
As for the more incompetent officers at the Guandong Army headquarters, wouldn’t you Baga send more pilots to the country? Wouldn’t it be great if everyone went to the battlefield alternately and accumulated battlefield experience? We empires must be
The elites are treated like mules, and they all have pig brains.
