The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 583 Training
Originally, Old Man Wang lost the battle, and the landlord and bully let Old Man Wang use his spare heat to earn some money, so he threw Old Man Wang to Chief Jia. The landlord, Lao Cai, is someone who knows how to receive troops, and very few of them can make it to the barracks alive. few.

It's just that the old man Wang didn't expect to survive.

Of the nine people in the hut, four or five followed Old Man Wang, both from Donglingou, and the others came from another village. The nine people were divided into three teams. Originally, the scholar was from Old Man Wang’s village. , but old man Wang looks down on scholars, scholars have some brains, so scholars follow Xia Yuan.

Nine people, three forces, somewhat outrageous.

In fact, Xia Yuan didn't get involved with their thoughts. In front of the battlefield, their intrigue would be reduced to ashes under the enemy's artillery fire. Only by uniting can they survive.

For a minute, they stood at the door of the straw hut, only to realize that there were a large number of recruits like them gathered on the playground, most of them looked malnourished, their complexions were sallow, and their bodies were as thin as bamboo poles, wrapped in skin and flesh. Bones, some people's legs are as thick as their arms, and they look vulnerable.

Their platoon leader is the third platoon leader of the Ninth Company, a newly formed company, and a veteran in the company who stayed at their door told a few people that several companies were wiped out in the last battle, and there are still survivors in the Ninth Company. A few people formed the Ninth Company's executive team, and then began to recruit soldiers. Most of the recruited soldiers were farmers who had never been on the battlefield and had no combat effectiveness.

When the second platoon leader brought people over, the veteran who was chatting with them stepped aside.

Xia Yuan glanced over, and the second platoon leader brought more than 20 new recruits, like them, crooked in military uniforms, with dark skin and rough palms, most of them were young men pulled from the village to join the team.

The second platoon leader had a gloomy look on his face. With so many recruits, it would take a long time to train.

Fortunately, there has been no war recently.

The July [-]th Incident also happened in the Fourth Northeast Province, and the Japanese devils have not come here yet.

"Xu Liu, you are the monitor of the third class and manage the nine of them."

The second platoon leader's surname is Zhao, and Xu Liu told them that the second platoon leader's name is Zhao Shiguo, and he can be called the second platoon leader. Doing things is more or less rushed, and there is a feeling of being arrogant.

The second platoon leader disliked this group of recruits, but he felt pretty good about Xia Yuan.

"I hope you can all learn from him in the future!"

After the assembly, Platoon Leader Zhao took advantage of the opportunity to call Xia Yuan by name, "How many people, when I called you this morning, stood up and waited for me. When you enter the barracks, you have to look like a soldier. Look at his attitude." , look at you again!"

Everyone's eyes were suddenly attracted by Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan is 1.8 meters tall, and he is particularly conspicuous among a group of farmers captured from the countryside. He also stands very upright, with his head held high, and his face resolute, like a flag. Liang, even if the second platoon leader didn't want to be attracted by him, his standard military posture and tall stature still caught his attention.

It makes people feel good.

Everyone also imitated Xia Yuan's appearance, but they always looked different.

"Practice hard. If you can practice well, I will let you be the deputy squad leader." The second platoon leader walked to Xia Yuan's side. He was very optimistic about this big guy.

He has been the deputy squad leader and the squad leader, and has taken over many recruits. The quality of these recruits is hard to describe, but thinking about the time when he first joined the national army, he was just like them, and even he was not as good as him at that time The big tall one in front of me.

Although his face is a little haggard, he is full of energy. Although his straight height may not be practical on the battlefield, after all, he is too tall and his target is too conspicuous, but with this strength, it makes people's eyes shine.

There is no way, after experiencing so many worlds, joining the national army as a strong man is simply a blow to these recruits.

For a while, what the second platoon leader said made many recruits feel a little sour. They can become the deputy squad leader just after joining the company. This kind of treatment is simply too good for them.

Xia Yuan responded calmly: "Yes!"

After the second platoon leader left, Xu Liu smiled and said to Xia Yuan: "Yes, we have taken over a lot of recruits, how many of them are like you, if they are all like you, who would be willing to use poison."

There are two sides to everything. The national army understands everything. Some are truly willing to serve the motherland, and some come for money. Most of them are oppressed and exploited by landlords and bullies. After the promulgation of the Six-Year Military Service Law, the young man was arrested.

Those who are disobedient and run away will naturally be tortured with poison. If they are caught and they are not beaten, they will continue to run away.

Last night, several escaped and were caught. When they were running, they could see a few people hanging from the trees by the roadside with ropes and bloodstains all over their bodies, not to mention how miserable they looked.

"Hey, this beating is too hard."

When the wind blew, the hanging people swayed a few times, and old man Wang was terrified.

"Obey orders and maintain normal training, that's what you should do." Xu Liu looked at the people hanging from the tree: "Anyone who disobeys will end up just like them."

Xia Yuan took a look, then looked away, these people will definitely not survive, the officers of the national army never treat these people as human beings, if you meet a good officer, you might survive, if you meet a bad officer, These few people were hanged for a day and they were not given food. When you get up tomorrow, no matter how badly you are injured, you have to get up and receive training. If you can live for a week, they can be called Xiaoqiang. Most of them can't last long. , will be tortured to death.

During this period, the number of non-combat attrition has exceeded the number of combat attrition.

The bald head once went to inspect the army, and was shocked by the sick soldiers and the recruits who were poisoned. He insisted on ignoring other eyes, and went to beat the platoon leader and officer of the corresponding unit with a cane. That time, the bald head saved 200 people , But in the whole country, this kind of situation is too common, and it is not uncommon. Over time, some officers who were originally friendly to the recruits will find that it is better to teach them with poison, which will make them more obedient.

By [-], this situation will be even more serious.

Every once in a while, you will see a few of these people hanging from a tree, just to warn them recruits, that's what happens when they run away.

There are quite a few recruits on the playground, there must be three or four hundred people, about the strength of a battalion. I don't know what the last battle was, but so many people have been reduced.

In the morning, I ran five kilometers, and then went to eat. Everyone dragged their tired bodies and finally came to the place to eat. The food was still the same as last night. There were not a few grains of rice in the big bucket of rice porridge. Just roll up the sporadic rice seeds, lucky people will have some rice grains in the bowl, and unlucky people, the bowl will be full of rice washing water.

In the morning, Xia Yuan was praised by the second platoon leader, and many people listened to what the second platoon leader said. The people in the cooking class recognized the big guy in front of them at a glance, and everyone else's bowls were filled with When it was time to wash the rice water, it was Xia Yuan's turn. The brothers from the cooking class who served the rice stirred the bottom with a spoon a few times, stirred up the sinking rice, and filled Xia Yuan with a bowl full of real rice porridge.

"Thank you, brother." Xia Yuan glanced at the brother who served the rice. Last night, he served the rice for everyone. Most of them were served on top. Ten grains of rice in a bowl is not bad.

Unexpectedly, what the platoon leader said this morning actually changed the little brother's attitude towards him.

However, Xia Yuan didn't intend to hide himself at all. When he really touched the gun, that's when he could flex his muscles. It's best to get the attention of the people above.

"The Battle of Songhu ended with the defense of the Sixing Warehouse." Xia Yuan thought, he definitely couldn't just run away like a parachutist, that would violate the rules of the system, and the final score would not be too high, Not even a reward.

After thinking about it, if he could get a higher official position, he might survive this unprecedented battle and even lead the last [-] warriors to evacuate.

But there are some difficulties. The defense of the Sixing Warehouse was originally a "movie" performed for foreigners, just to gain more support from the international community, so when the battle was at its most critical, the bald head ordered them to withdraw.

There is no way, the status of the Japanese army in the world is not low, and they were all fought by force. Even though the British also had a concession in Shanghai, their concession was finally broken by the Japanese army. There are more than 400 warriors in the Sihang Warehouse. 300 Many people were taken away as laborers, and very few came back alive.

This situation is similar to that of the [-]th Division. He can change the fate of some people, but he cannot change the attitude of his superiors. They don't care about the life and death of these people. What they care about is how much international support they can get. I don't care about the ending of the four hundred warriors. After the Songhu Songhu Battle in [-], they were imprisoned in the prison in the concession for several years.

Later, Xie Jinyuan was assassinated in April 12. In December of the same year, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. The Pacific War broke out. Escorted to New Guinea, some of the fighters escaped and some died of torture...

The Battle of Songhu was an even more tragic battle, with more than 70 national troops and more than 30 Japanese troops. The number of dead and injured national army soldiers far exceeded 30.

While thinking, old man Wang came over, interrupted Xia Yuan's thinking, and said enviously: "Big man, when you become the deputy squad leader, don't forget about us, we all came out of the same place as you of."

Xia Yuan glanced at old man Wang, and said with a smile: "I won't forget you just because you ask for water for me. Everything else is two different things. We must unite and not split up. When we get to the battlefield, you Is it still like this? This will only make you die faster, what I want is a group of brothers who can hand over their backs to you."

"That's the reason." Old man Wang nodded.

People from another village also nodded, thinking that what Xia Yuan said was right and made sense.

"I won't say anything else. One chopstick is easy to break, and ten chopsticks can form a ball. You all know this truth." Xia Yuan looked at everyone and said, "Double fighting in the nest is not a hero. Keep your eyes on the Japanese."

"Japanese?"

Everyone was a little surprised.

They were in the village, the news was blocked, and they had never heard of the Japanese.

In [-], the Japanese were still far away from Henan. Their main activities were in the four eastern provinces. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, they launched a war of aggression against China in an attempt to destroy China within three months. The first thing they launched was Songhu. The battle, followed by the Battle of Jinling, the Jinling Massacre and so on.

After the arrogant idea of ​​destroying China in three months was broken, they occupied Jinling and took an extreme measure, that is, launched a brutal massacre. They tried to make the Chinese fearful and timid in this way. It aroused the determination of the whole country to resolutely resist Japan.

Inconsistencies with the outside world, but also engage in infighting, China will perish sooner or later.

The few people in this hut are the epitome of the whole China.If there is no Xi'an Incident, if there is no pity, if there is no if, when China is in peril, there is a group of people who stand up and save China from the fire and water. They are the heroes of the nation.

Xia Yuan's gaining power is a good thing. Although the old man Wang and others are envious, they also admire Xia Yuan. There is no way, they don't have Xia Yuan's size, let alone Xia Yuan's ideological consciousness, and even less Xia Yuan's. In terms of experience, no one can compare with Xia Yuan. It can be said that in the entire 40th division, no one can compare with Xia Yuan, not even the commander of the 40th division.

Many of the commanders of the national army are members of the family, and there are few commanders who have climbed up step by step from small soldiers by relying on real materials.

"gather!"

The rest time in the morning was only half an hour, so Xu Liu called the third squad to gather, and then the platoon leader came over to give a lecture, and then took them to meet the company commander of the Ninth Company. Mi is in his early years, with scars on his face, and looks fierce.

"My name is Du Guanggui, your company commander. From now on, you will be the soldiers of the Ninth Company. Train well. Don't think about running away. Run. Where can you run? Can you run out of China? The Japanese devils are here , They want to destroy China, you ran home, are you waiting for them to come to your house and kill your relatives?"

The company commander of the Ninth Company was surnamed Du, and his name was Du Guanggui. He didn't speak dryly like the second platoon leader, but it was easy to understand.

However, everyone is still quite unfamiliar with the Japanese devils. They suppressed this question and started training with Du Guanggui. Before the training, Du Guanggui brought a few soldiers to bring them guns.A bunch of old Hanyang made, also known as 'old sleeves'.

When he was leading the gun, Xia Yuan picked up a Hanyang-made one that looked pretty good, and pulled the bolt to look at it, and couldn't help frowning, the rifling was smoothed out.

Most of these guns were eliminated, and the unneeded guns were thrown to them. There was a characteristic, which meant that they should not shoot.
