Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 131 Chapter 130, Training, Training, and Training
"That's it, let's go to the surrounding villages to recruit soldiers tomorrow, and recruit 55 new soldiers! The 55 new soldiers will be specially trained, and after completing basic training, those with similar results will be placed in the general class, cooking class, and transportation class to supplement the troops! If there are those with better training results, they will be placed in the front-line combat teams."

After Zhao Danian showed the small notebook to everyone, he made the final decision - to recruit 55 soldiers into the army.

On the second day of the meeting, Xing Weiguo and Zhu Xingyu led the first and second squads to leave Liangjia Village and went to more than a dozen villages around. When they came back, they brought back 80 new recruits. Some of them were over the limit, but it didn't matter. They would first have a week of basic physical training and keep the best 55 people.

Li Yuexuan naturally didn't have to worry about the parade of new recruits. This time he finally had time to lead the Taoist priests in shooting training!

At the foot of the northern mountain of Liangjia Village, Li Yuexuan, with the soldiers of the comprehensive class and 12 Taoist priests, found a relatively flat ground, moved in more than a dozen long tables, and started a day of training.

"Comrades, I will now lead you in firearms training! Comrade Zhang Jueming has not touched a gun for 10 years, so he will also start training from the beginning! Now let's proceed to the first training subject: familiarizing yourself with the gun! What is on the table now is the Type 6.5 rifle, commonly known as the Type rifle! This gun is the standard equipment of the Japanese devils, with a caliber of mm..."

Li Yuexuan first explained the most basic knowledge, and then led the Taoist priests to conduct training on gun disassembly, assembly, maintenance and servicing, which lasted for two full days.

The bolt-action rifle has a simple structure, and disassembly means removing the bolt, magazine and other parts, and that's basically it. Removing these, using the small tools inside the rifle butt to perform maintenance, and then assembling it to ensure the normal use of the gun are all basic skills for infantry.

Two days later, the Taoist priests were familiar with the operation of the Type 10 rifle, and Li Yuexuan decided to give each of them a gun to carry. Note that they had not been given bullets yet, because they would have to undergo training on the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the box gun. Why a box gun? ? Didn't the superiors leave 16 box guns? With the ones left by their own family, that's box guns.

With so many box guns and more than 3800 rounds of ammunition in reserve, we naturally have to make the best use of them! Therefore, everyone unanimously decided to equip the 9 members of the vanguard squad with box guns. Attention, the comrades in the original vanguard squad will naturally be disbanded and reorganized because of the need for reorganization! The veterans in the vanguard squad need to be transferred from the vanguard squad to serve as the backbone of the three newly established infantry squads.

The vacancies in the vanguard class were vacant, and these Taoist priests who were good at martial arts and could walk in the mountains as if walking on flat ground were naturally the best choices! Therefore, it was very necessary to train them all with box guns!

So in a flash, another three days passed for familiarization and maintenance of the box gun. On the seventh day, the Taoist priests began to conduct rifle and box gun training.

According to Li Yuexuan's plan, this training will last for 3 days, and then it will be gunmanship training! The Taoist priests all have a good foundation, so everything is carried out simply. During this period, the little girl Xu Hongying and the soldiers of the comprehensive class will also follow the Taoist priests to conduct live-fire shooting training.

Of course, these were things that happened during the day! In the free time before morning training and after dinner, Li Yuexuan led about 30 veterans from the comprehensive class and other classes to follow the Taoist priests to conduct wrist strength training and various hidden weapon techniques. The most important training was stone throwing training, and for this purpose, each soldier also added a leather bag in front of him to hold stones.

The egg-sized stones picked up from the stream at the foot of the mountain were thrown out quickly in everyone's hands, hitting the tree trunks with a crackling sound... At this time, Li Yuexuan truly witnessed the power of the locust stone. Take the Taoist priest Jue'an, who was not good at this, for example. He flicked his wrist, and the small locust stone held by three fingers flew out with a whistle, and the sparrows on the tree more than ten meters away flew away in response. When everyone picked up the sparrows, they found that the bones of the sparrows were broken and the feathers were flying all over the ground. With this force and this accuracy, it hit the Japanese in the face and guaranteed a big bag.

Seeing this power, everyone trained more vigorously. With better wrist strength, not only is there an additional weapon for close combat, but the grenade can also be thrown farther and more accurately! And before the bayonet fight, put one or two stones on the face of the enemy, and then just go up and stab him.

So, from some unknown day, some targets painted with white ash were hung on the trunks of trees in the woods outside the village, at a height of 1 to 4 meters from the ground. Every day, these targets were hit and made a popping sound, and they needed to be replaced with new ones every few days.

Ten days passed in a flash, and it was the end of December. Tomorrow was the new year. Of course, the Lunar New Year had not yet arrived, and it was still winter, and it was getting colder. Of course, time was not important. What was important was that in these ten days, the Taoist priests had completed their marksmanship training. Each of them had 10 rounds of rifle and 12 rounds of pistol shooting training.

"Comrades, today we will conduct a shooting training assessment!" On January 1, Li Yuexuan brought the Taoist priests to the shooting range in the east of the village.

"Comrades, this time our goal is to test the 200-meter half-body target for rifles and the 30-meter half-body target for pistols! The requirement is that 200 out of 5 bullets must hit the target for the 3-meter target, and all 30 bullets must hit the target for the 5-meter target! Now, let me show you my results!" Li Yuexuan, who had been itching to show off his skills for a long time, decided to salute and show off a little.

"To demonstrate it more intuitively, I had people put up five sticks on the 30-meter target, with five fist-sized stones on top. You can see that! Look at the 5-meter target. Do you see those wooden blocks hanging on the racks? Those wooden blocks are 5 centimeters in diameter and 200 centimeters high, about the same size as a human head."

While preparing to shoot, Li Yuexuan explained to everyone what he was going to shoot. Well, it's not like in the TV series, where the Eighth Route Army practiced shooting with eggs, apples and other food. That's a magical drama. Forget eggs, even practicing shooting with a pottery jar is not a good idea! Therefore, the stones and wood that can be found everywhere are the best shooting targets.

"Okay, comrades, I'm ready, everyone watch!" Li Yuexuan said as he stood in the shooting position. At this time, he had a loaded Mosin-Nagant on his back and a box gun with a steel clip hanging on the belt around his waist.

"Ready..." Zhao Danian, who came to join in the fun, shouted in person: "Start!"

As Zhao Danian shouted, Li Yuexuan quickly pulled out his box gun, raised his right foot, and pulled the safety of the box gun's hammer on the sole of his right heel. Then, he held the gun level and pulled the trigger.
