Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 136 Chapter 135, Heavy Snow Closes the Mountain
In the west wing, a lantern was brightly lit, the sound of pens swishing could be heard constantly, and clear and neat words were being written on the notebook.

Outside the house, Zhang Lu and Jiang Daquan stood at the door in their military coats, looking around vigilantly. They didn't know what Li Yuexuan was writing, but the order they received was: when Comrade Youshun was writing, there must be someone standing guard at the door, and no other people were allowed in the house. So, this was just a normal guard duty.

It took Li Yuexuan three hours to finish his application for joining the party. After checking it carefully, he stood up, twisted his stiff body, and then took the application to the east wing.

As if he knew that Li Yuexuan was coming, Zhao Danian did not rest. However, in order to save money, only a soybean-sized light was on in the lantern in the room, and he was carefully cleaning his gun.

"Captain, this is my application to join the party!" Li Yuexuan solemnly handed the application to Zhao Danian and waited for Zhao Danian's reply.

"Very good, I accept it on behalf of the organization! The Chief of Staff will leave for the brigade headquarters early tomorrow morning to submit our organizational roster, and will also submit it to you! It's getting late, so go to bed!" Zhao Danian accepted the application, and Li Yuexuan felt relieved, then went back to the west wing to sleep.

At night, the cold wind blew, and the sound of the wind howled outside the village, and from time to time there were sounds of branches breaking. In the house, Li Yuexuan, wearing a cashmere sweater and wrapped in a quilt, felt a little cold. So he quickly got up and covered himself with a military coat. As if knowing that he was cold, Zhang Lu and Jiang Daquan, who were sleeping on the left and right of the quilt, deliberately leaned in the middle to give each other some warmth.

"Tomorrow, it's time to light the stove in the house! At least, let it burn for a while before going to bed at night..." Feeling the care of his comrades, Li Yuexuan fell into a deep sleep after making his last thought.

The next day, Li Yuexuan got up and put on his military uniform. When he opened the door, he saw the silvery white snow on the ground, reflecting the red sunlight. Looking up, he saw a series of footprints on the snow in the yard, which were left by the comrades who got up early.

"Okay, the kitchen staff should cook more millet porridge this morning, and other comrades can continue their morning jog!" Zhao Danian stood in the yard and arranged this morning's work.

After hearing what Zhao Danian said, Li Yuexuan stood outside the three western wing rooms and shouted, "Comprehensive class, assemble..."

Soon, the comrades from the comprehensive class appeared at the door, and Xu Hongying ran over from the backyard. After everyone lined up, Li Yuexuan led everyone to mark their steps and then ran out of the compound.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, there was no sign of the comrades from the vanguard squad. Li Yuexuan thought for a moment and realized that they had followed the chief of staff to the brigade headquarters, so he did not hesitate and continued running with the comprehensive squad.

The snow under my feet was up to my ankles, so it was a bit difficult to run. Although the crunching sound under my feet was fun, it was really exhausting.

As the comprehensive class shouted slogans and walked through the doors of each house, the running team became longer and longer, and the comprehensive class gradually became a foil to others. Although the comprehensive class has not yet split out the backbone, and there are still 2 groups of grenade launchers, the light machine gun and the machine gunner Zhu Dantong are gone. Without the light machine gun, the comprehensive class is a little worse than others in terms of equipment. Where did Zhu Dantong go? Since recruiting 55 new recruits, Zhu Dantong has moved to the yard where the recruits live as a machine gun instructor. Now, he is carrying a Czech-style and running in the team with a group of machine gunners he selected.

"Run, run! The four of you must coordinate your steps. The front and back steps must be consistent, and the left and right must be aligned! The ammunition boxes in the back each of you carries contain 1000 rounds of bullets. Whether our firepower is strong or not depends on whether you can bring the bullets to the battlefield! Also, when you change people later, you must be fast!"

Luo Wei's loud voice was particularly conspicuous in the team. Beside him, four soldiers coordinated with each other to carry a heavy machine gun of the Civilian Type 4 and ran in a neat pace. Behind the heavy machine gun, there were three ammunition handlers carrying two boxes of bullets and rifles on their backs. Behind the ammunition handlers, there was another soldier carrying a gun and a bucket. Finally, there were two new precision shooters, Wang Wu and Lan Hu, who had changed their guns to Ma Sihuan. The ammunition used by Ma Sihuan and the Civilian Type 3 was the same, and they could complement each other in battle.

On the other side of the team, Lai Fu didn't say anything, but he was breathing out long white air, looking firmly at the street ahead. As the chief and deputy squad leaders of the heavy machine gun squad, Luo Wei and Lai Fu didn't help carry the heavy machine guns or resist bullets, they just carried a ring-handled sword each, and seemed very relaxed.

However, looking at the specially thickened leather pads on their shoulders, you can tell that they are machine gunners. When they are fighting, they can show their power.

Following the original path, everyone ran half a circle around the village and then turned to the river beach outside the village. Then, under the white snow, everyone picked up a few pebbles and ran back to the village.

When they reached the woods outside the village, the pebbles were dropped and the new soldiers continued to run, while some veterans followed the Taoist priests into the woods to continue their daily locust stone training. When the veterans finished their training and returned to the village, it was just breakfast time.

Millet porridge and steamed bread with pickles were finished for breakfast, but the training of the new soldiers did not continue today. One reason was that the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, so many trainings were difficult to carry out. Another reason was that today Zhao Danian organized the soldiers to repair and maintain the stoves of each household, and also tidied up the kangs and other things. It was too cold.

With more than 100 people working, the scene was very lively! Especially since the new recruits were from surrounding villages, some of their families even came to give their children cotton-padded clothes and trousers, and even food.

Just then, people from other villages came over, so Zhao Danian and Xing Weiguo learned about the surrounding situation, including whether any houses were collapsed by the heavy snow, whether any people were frostbitten, etc.

After learning that nothing had happened, the Bai brothers brought a dozen people from the veteran hunting team to Zhao Danian to ask for permission to go into the mountains to hunt while it was snowing.

Hunting is good. Although we haven't seen any large prey here for a long time, we can still get some rabbits, pheasants, squirrels, etc., which are also meat! Especially rabbit skin and squirrel skin, which are good for making shoulder pads for machine gunners and leather hats for soldiers! So, Zhao Danian naturally agreed! Fearing that they might encounter large prey, Zhao Danian also allowed the Bai brothers to bring rifles into the mountains.
