The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2220 Begins to be Calculated

Shang Zhen had learned from the experience of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in doing ideological work. He had to stabilize these new recruits who had just been transformed from able-bodied men.

Moreover, he also put himself in the shoes of the new recruits. Those soldiers were not really ungrateful. Under his "kindness and severity", the soldiers' self-consciousness in training really increased.

This reminded Shang Zhen of something Mo Jianchen said when he was alive, which was "ideological work works as soon as it is started."

Shang Zhen, who was not completely ignorant of the Communist Eighth Route Army, finally understood why the National Army could not "annihilate" the Communist-led troops that were against the National Government, but instead the Communists became stronger and stronger.

Shang Zhen continued to train his soldiers, but as he continued training, he gained an unexpected benefit. He discovered that more than 40 young men in their village, led by Hu Sheng, actually knew how to use the "Five-Handed Copy".

What people in Northeast China mean by being able to do all five techniques is being able to do martial arts.

After he asked Hu Sheng in detail, he found out that although Hu Sheng and his family lived in Henan, their hometown was actually Cangzhou, Hebei.

Cangzhou is the hometown of martial arts. Every child there has learned leg stretches, somersaults, and routines since childhood.

Don't underestimate the foundation he has built since childhood. The coordination of his body after this foundation is truly incomparable to those who have never practiced martial arts.

Shang Zhen only discovered when he was teaching them how to fight with bayonets that these guys had eaten almost enough and their physical potential was revealed.

Although his body is still a little weak like mine, he already has a hint of momentum when he chops, stabs, and thrusts the spear.

For this reason, when Captain Liu came to see him this morning, he praised him and said, "You are training them as elite soldiers." However, Shang Zhen just laughed it off.

In fact, Shang Zhen has not yet figured out how to treat these soldiers he brought with him.

These soldiers were originally simple farmers with good qualities. Under his leadership, they had not been corrupted by those old ruffians.

If they were allowed to follow the independent brigade, as soon as their training was completed, the fat brigade commander would give an order and there was no guarantee that these soldiers would be assigned to other companies. It would only be a matter of time before they learned bad things.

But it was obvious that he couldn't always lead these soldiers. Shang Zhen certainly understood the truth that "the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind". He understood this truth since he started to memorize the idiom dictionary within two years of joining the army.

Everyone in the brigade is playing badly. It would be strange if I didn't arouse jealousy if I trained my troops like this!

But I can't just take these soldiers and occupy the mountain and become the king, right?

No matter how weak the independent brigade is, it is still a brigade. If it dares to make trouble, it would be strange if others don't destroy it.

Shang Zhen thought of thirteen strategies but couldn't come up with a good solution. Later, he thought, forget it, at worst he could just train these soldiers and let them go. At least they wouldn't be led astray by these ruffians of the independent brigade.

As for whether they will set up their own village protection team or join the Eighth Route Army in the future, he doesn't care!

And he could just quit and leave. He still had to find a wife. If it weren't for these good recruits, he would have run away long ago.

There are thousands of people in the brigade, but he is the only one from Northeast China. As a member of the Northeast Army, he has no sense of identity with this independent brigade!

Of course he believed it. This was such a rotten place, let alone the fat brigade commander. The people above him would sell him out at any time to save their lives. What was there for him to be reluctant to leave this big dye vat?

Of course, on the surface Shang Zhen is still following the orders of the fat brigade commander to train his troops, but he didn't expect that the people in the brigade have already begun to plot against him.

How could the Nationalist government provide food for an army like the Independent Brigade? They had to rely on the local people to raise their own food.

In addition to the layers of deductions, the soldiers at the bottom of the society only eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. It is said that the emperor does not want hungry soldiers, but the National Government does not provide food, so those soldiers do evil in the local area and naturally no one cares, and you can't do anything about it either.

Besides, the Nationalist Government didn't have any grassroots political power. The villages and towns below were all controlled by landlords and gentry. The Nationalist Government only wanted the landlords and gentry to hand over their grain, and they didn't care how they oppressed the people!

Because of this, the difference between a one-sided war of resistance and a nationwide war of resistance can be clearly distinguished.

Well, Shang Zhen had been training with the soldiers for a whole day, and it was finally time to train them back. Everyone, including Shang Zhen, walked towards the mess hall with guns in hand.

But when he arrived at the kitchen yard, the squad leader of the cooking squad stood in front of him with a sullen face.

The people in the kitchen team are all able-bodied men, but they are the kind that are too old to be soldiers.

Of course, Shang Zhen thought that they were not suitable for military service, but Captain Liu and his men didn't care about that when they "saved" these able-bodied men. Anyone with legs and feet who could work, even if they could only hold a stick, was considered an able-bodied man.

Since he could hold a stick, he could also hold a broken gun that was useless, and he could charge forward under the guns of the supervisory team behind him. Did he have to kill the Japanese devils? No, even if they were killed, it would still be considered "our troops fought bravely", right?

So the ten people in the kitchen team are all middle-aged people in their forties, and the squad leader is Hu Sheng’s cousin.

"Company commander, the food they give us is getting worse and worse." The cousin complained to Shang Zhen.

"Hmm?" Shang Zhen looked over.

"Today we went to the military supply store to get food, and I felt that the bag was heavier than usual. I thought there was more food in the bag, but when I came back to make porridge, I found that there was sand mixed in it. When it was put into the pot, it all sank to the bottom. There was nothing we could do but to redo it.

So the porridge today is very thin!

Captain, what do you think we should do? "Hu Sheng's uncle looked at Shang Zhen and glanced at the soldiers who were already carrying their weapons to serve porridge.

He had to say this first, for he was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, the new recruits would scold him, as if he, as a cook, was withholding food from the new recruits.

And in fact, it was true. As soon as he finished talking to Shang Zhen, the soldiers on the other side laughed, and then some soldiers started to quarrel: "The porridge today is too watery!"

The soldier raised the broken bowl in his hand and then tilted his hand, and the porridge poured out of the bowl.

It is called porridge because it is indeed the color of porridge, very yellow, but the problem is that it is a clear soup!

When the soldier turned the bowl over to look at the starry sky, he saw only a handful of corn kernels on the ground.

"Quiet down!" Shang Zhen spoke loudly, and the soldiers fell silent.

Then hundreds of soldiers looked at Shang Zhen, who was staring at the ground with his eyes as if he was a little confused, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The soldiers naturally couldn't go and call the commander. After a long while, Shang Zhen looked up and said, "This is not the fault of the kitchen team. I'm going to the brigade headquarters. You guys drink first."

After saying that, Shang Zhen raised his leg and walked out.

"What should we do with the food? The porridge will be gone if we just drink a lot and pee!" A soldier complained in a low voice in the back.

But he was immediately scolded by Hu Sheng: "You are the only one who talks too much. What's wrong with drinking porridge? The company commander hasn't even had a sip of porridge yet!"
