Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

A few minutes before the political commissar arrived, Li Yunlong brought Zhao Gang and others to the village entrance.

When he saw the political commissar appear in front of him, Li Yunlong stepped forward and helped the political commissar off the horse.

"You kid, why are you doing so many tricks, is there something fishy going on?!" The political commissar couldn't help but say after he stepped down.

"What the political commissar said is ridiculous. How could I be fooled?" Li Yunlong replied seriously.

"That's better." The political commissar said helplessly.

"Political Commissar, you've been traveling all the way, why don't you go eat something first?!" Li Yunlong asked.

"No, take me to see the training of the soldiers in your regiment. I want to see if your new regiment is really that powerful." The political commissar refused and planned to go for an inspection first.

"That's great. Political Commissar, please follow me to the training ground." Li Yunlong led the way.

Zhao Gang also stepped forward to greet the political commissar.

"Xiao Zhao, it's hard for you, a top student, to be a partner with this rough guy." The political commissar smiled. He still valued Zhao Gang very much. After all, Zhao Gang was a college graduate from Yan University and a scarce personnel.

It is indeed a bit inappropriate to let such a top student come here to suffer.

"Political Commissar, I came here voluntarily, and joining the Eighth Route Army was the best decision I have ever made." Zhao Gang responded. He joined the army because he wanted to fight the Japanese on the front line, and the leader fulfilled his wish.

"You are more conscious. If Li Yunlong is half as conscious as you, it would be much less of a worry." The political commissar was very satisfied with Zhao Gang's reply.

"Hey, hey, hey, political commissar, I'm unhappy with what you said. Am I just not aware enough?" Li Yunlong was immediately a little dissatisfied.

When has his awareness been low? His awareness is very high, okay?

"You are conscious, kid?! If you were conscious, you wouldn't have kept the supplies secretly when handing them over, and even reported a false list of seized goods. Do you really think we don't know?!

Take the war horses for example. The commander asked you to keep a company and a platoon of war horses, but you at least kept an extra squad. "The political commissar laughed angrily and started to calculate the accounts.

"Stop talking, stop talking. It's my fault for having a low level of awareness. Political Commissar, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time." Li Yunlong suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

It seems that he could not hide what he did from the leader. He used to think that the leader would not know, but he never thought that the leader was just too lazy to argue with him.

"You dare not, you are too bold." The political commissar continued. With Li Yunlong's personality, he didn't believe that the other party would not dare.

"Political Commissar, they are all here, please give me some face." Li Yunlong said shamelessly.

The political commissar glanced at Li Yunlong and then let him go.

Zhao Gang and the others were trying to hold back their laughter, feeling a little uncomfortable. If the political commissar wasn't there, they would probably have laughed out loud.

"Political Commissar, actually I am also involved in Lao Li's matter. You can also tell us something about it." Zhao Gang stood up.

"It has nothing to do with you. It's obvious that Li Yunlong used some twisted logic to convince you." The political commissar said, without any intention of blaming Zhao Gang.

This made Li Yunlong at a loss for words for a moment.

"Most of the soldiers in the New 1st Regiment now have combat experience." The political commissar changed the subject and did not pursue the matter of Li Yunlong leaving extra supplies. Otherwise, if he really did pursue it, Li Yunlong would have to be punished one by one.

"I can only say that we have some combat experience, so we won't be nervous when a real fight comes." Li Yunlong said. The new recruits of the New 1st Regiment have fought bandits and seen blood, but they have not fought the Japanese yet.

"Well, that's fine. At least they have combat experience. Later we can try to let them fight the Japanese and puppet troops and so on. We want them to not be nervous when fighting and be able to display their due combat effectiveness." The political commissar nodded with satisfaction and said at the same time.

Compared with other troops, the new recruits of the New 1st Regiment have at least killed bandits and seen blood, and have certain combat capabilities.

"Don't worry, Political Commissar. I plan to do this in a few days. I think Li Jin is also preparing to let the new recruits fight the Japanese for training. I can't fall behind here." Li Yunlong said hurriedly.

When they discussed with Li Jin about attacking the Japanese airport, they had agreed to let the new recruits fight the Japanese to increase their combat experience.

"That's good. By the way, when fighting the Japanese, try to avoid the people from the Osaka Division. From the various intelligence we have collected, this unit does not pose a big threat to us. Don't provoke them, or you will get into trouble." The political commissar reminded.

Li Yunlong and his men can fight the Japanese, but it is best to avoid the Osaka Division. This division does not pose much threat, but its strength is not weak. It is better not to provoke it if you can avoid it.

"I understand." Li Yunlong nodded. This was also the case with the intelligence he collected. The devils from the Osaka Division did not harm ordinary people. Instead, the threats faced by the people in many counties were reduced, and their lives were even better than before.

The group soon arrived at the training ground.

A company of soldiers from the regiment headquarters were practicing bayonet techniques in the woods, shouting loudly and with great momentum.

"Well, that's right. Soldiers who have seen blood have murderous intent in their eyes. Very good. They are elite soldiers." The political commissar couldn't help but comment after seeing this.

The growth of new recruits is always accompanied by blood. If they have never seen blood or killed people, there is no way they can grow.

"When these soldiers first killed people, they couldn't get over the psychological barrier. Some even had nightmares at night. Fortunately, I had people give them psychological counseling, which helped them overcome it." Li Yunlong was very happy to hear the political commissar's praise, and told him about the situation after the recruits first killed people.

"I'm not a born evil person, so how can I kill people without any burden?" The political commissar also said that for most people, killing a stranger without any hatred towards him or her would basically be a psychological burden.

"Li Jin is a man who sees things clearly. He kills bandits and trains soldiers, exposing such problems in advance. He then provides guidance and avoids such problems for new recruits on the battlefield. It's really great." Li Yunlong couldn't help but think of the infantry drill manual written by Li Jin.

"Yes, this is why the commander initially valued Li Jin so much." The political commissar also sighed. Currently, the soldiers in their unit are basically training according to the method written by Li Jin.

Various pre-war drills allow the soldiers to adapt in advance and avoid being overly nervous on the battlefield. It can be said that their troops, even if they randomly pull any inexperienced troops out to fight, will not perform badly.

Combined with various psychological counseling, the soldiers will not feel guilty after killing someone.

These all have a huge effect.

Therefore, the infantry drill manual written by Li Jin has already attracted great attention from the leaders, not to mention that Li Jin later demonstrated more abilities.

"Li Jin is indeed a talented guy, just slightly worse than me." Li Yunlong also spoke.

"Can you please have some shame, kid?" The political commissar was helpless because Li Yunlong was so shameless.

"That's right, how can you compare with Li Jin's ability? He can make guns and walkie-talkies, what can you do?! You only have an advantage over Li Jin in age, you are much older than him." Deputy Commander Qian couldn't help but say. As soon as these words came out, even the political commissar couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect Deputy Commander Qian to say this.

Li Yunlong was so angry that he was speechless. He had so many abilities, but this kid didn't see any of them.

"How many live-fire training exercises does the New 1st Regiment conduct every month?!" the political commissar asked. He seemed to have no idea about this aspect.

"For each soldier, the number of live-fire training per month is about eighty rounds, which has doubled compared to a year ago." Li Yunlong answered seriously.

They fought so many battles, left behind a lot of supplies, and their bullet training was constantly improving.

"What?! Eighty rounds?! How much did you swallow?" The political commissar was shocked when he heard this.

If I remember correctly, the number of live-fire training conducted by the 771st and 772nd Regiments each month is only about 30 to 40 rounds.

This is already a lot. Some troops’ live-fire training still only uses a dozen or twenty rounds.

Of course, if you really count, their troops are currently doing more live-fire training than the Kuomintang troops.

The elite troops of the National Army only fire 20 to 30 rounds per soldier per month.

"Political Commissar, you can't say that. You can't just look at my consumption. You have to know that our New 1st Regiment has fought so many battles in the past two years and seized so much supplies. I only left a small amount." Li Yunlong hurriedly explained.

"Well, how good are the marksmanship of the soldiers in the New 1st Regiment?!" Upon hearing this, the political commissar thought that the New 1st Regiment had fought a lot of battles, so he immediately asked about the soldiers' marksmanship.

"For fixed targets, all the soldiers in the regiment can basically hit the target within about 120 meters. The moving targets are a little worse, with about five or six out of ten hitting the target at a distance of seventy or eighty meters." Li Yunlong explained the general situation.

Hitting moving targets is no easier than hitting fixed targets. The moving targets they use all move irregularly. The purpose is to simulate the battlefield and the movement of the enemy.

In this way, no matter how the enemy moves, within a certain range, they have a high probability of hitting the enemy.

"That's okay." The political commissar nodded after hearing this. Although the ammunition consumption was relatively large, the results were also very good.

"Political Commissar, I can't handle such a huge consumption. Why don't you talk to the commander?

Ask him to get me 1.8 million bullets, and I promise that these soldiers' marksmanship will be comparable to that of the special operations battalion." Li Yunlong said seriously.

"One million or eight hundred thousand rounds? How dare you ask that? Impossible! Since you have the ability to let the soldiers train with so many bullets, you must have the ability to prepare bullets for them." The political commissar decisively refused.

What a joke, with so many bullets, how many troops can they supply? Using them all as training bullets for the New 1st Regiment is just overthinking.

"Political Commissar, don't be so quick to refuse. It's okay to cut it in half." Li Yunlong said hurriedly.

"Don't even think about cutting it in half, even cutting it by 10% is impossible. Other troops are still having difficulties, how can they give you so much?" The political commissar directly blocked Li Yunlong's idea of ​​asking for so many bullets.

"Take me to see the cavalry training." The political commissar continued, not giving Li Yunlong the opportunity to continue asking for supplies.

Sometimes, it’s not that we don’t want to give, but the supplies in Li Yunlong’s hands are definitely much more than many troops. In this case, how can we give?

What would other troops say if they knew about this?! Wouldn't that still be biased, and have a bad influence?

"Yes." Li Yunlong said no more and left with the political commissar.

"Old Li, what are you doing? Our regiment has enough supplies. We can't be so greedy." Zhao Gang whispered in Li Yunlong's ear.

"What are you thinking about? I was just joking, you guys didn't take it seriously, did you?!" Li Yunlong was stunned. Does he look like such an ignorant person?

“Uh…” Zhao Gang fell into deep thought for a moment.

The cavalry training ground is actually not far from here, only a few hundred meters away, and the group arrived at the gate in less than a few minutes.

Before entering, you can hear the dense sound of horse hooves and the sound of soldiers riding horses.

"It seems that the training is in full swing." The political commissar said with a smile.

"Of course. As soon as we seized the war horses, we started training them right away. We wanted to get this cavalry unit to participate in the battle as soon as possible." Li Yunlong responded.

He had long dreamed of seeing the cavalry troops inflict casualties on the Japanese one day.

"As it should be. Earlier training means earlier combat. These war horses have been trained by the Japanese. We don't need to train them anymore. You have to keep a close eye on them." The political commissar said. These war horses are not afraid of the sound of gunfire, which can be said to have saved them a lot of time.

"Don't worry, Political Commissar, I will definitely keep a close eye on it." Li Yunlong responded seriously.

The group watched as the cavalry charged and hacked at their targets, with the scarecrows being chopped in half by their sabers at an angle.

"This Sun Desheng is really capable. He has trained these cavalrymen so well in such a short time." The political commissar couldn't help but praise him.

"Of course, this is a treasure I discovered. Not to mention a cavalry company, even a cavalry regiment can be trained. The prerequisite is to have enough war horses." Li Yunlong also showed pride on his face.

"Since he is so capable, how about transferring him to the brigade headquarters?!" said the political commissar.

"What are you doing? Robbery!" Li Yunlong became anxious when he heard it. If Sun Desheng was transferred to the brigade headquarters, who would train his cavalry unit?

Not to mention Li Yunlong, even Zhao Gang and the others were a little panicked. If the leader wanted to transfer Sun Desheng away, they really had no way to deal with it.

"I don't agree! Even if you want to shoot me, I won't give it to you!" Li Yunlong continued.

"I'm just teasing you. Why are you so anxious?!" The political commissar was immediately amused when he saw Li Yunlong's expression.

"I won't transfer your cavalry battalion commander yet," the political commissar added.

"Who knows? The special operations company was doing well in the New 1st Regiment at first, but in the blink of an eye, it became a unit directly under the brigade headquarters, causing heavy losses to the New 1st Regiment." Li Yunlong said.

"Ahem, let's go eat first. I'm a little hungry." The political commissar coughed twice.
