Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 146 Chapter 145 The more you practice, the more elite you become!
To the west of the village, the new soldiers continued their physical training. They felt that life was worse than death, and they felt that they could not hold on any longer. However, they thought about the instructions given by their families when they left home, the page in the family tree, the words of their ancestors, and the innocent villagers and relatives who died tragically. They gritted their teeth and persevered!
Of course, some people also think that after training they will have meat to eat, which is a good thing they haven’t eaten since they were young. They must persist and not let others look down on them... Well, these are some of the younger ones.

"Is it hard to be a soldier? It's hard! Climbing on ice and snow, crawling and rolling around, just to destroy the enemy on the battlefield! But being a soldier is glorious! If you die in battle, the first incense stick on Qingming Festival will be burned for us!"

"It is said that good iron cannot be used to make nails, and good men cannot be soldiers. That is wrong. Only good iron can make good nails, and only good men can join our Eighth Route Army!"

Thinking about the words of the elders and the instructors, the recruits finally made it to the end of the morning training and met the veterans who were going to participate in the shooting. Seeing the relaxed look in the veterans' eyes, the recruits were very envious. But in the afternoon, when the veterans joined them in the training of climbing ice and lying in the snow, the recruits were no longer envious, because everyone was the same.

"Comrade Peregrine, after testing, all the bullets were fired, and there was no apparent impact on the trajectory! So, how about you take the trouble to lead everyone to reassemble all the bullet casings we have stored?" In the east wing, several cadres gathered together to discuss things.

"Well, I will supervise for a few days so that the comrades can be familiar with the process! However, I still have to take time to complete the final grenade launcher training and assessment for the Taoist priests! After the Taoist priests have finished their training, it will be time for the new recruits to conduct live-fire shooting. Captain, comrades, since we can guarantee the amount of training bullets, let's start the shooting training!"

"Especially the two precision shooters from Squad 7 and the heavy machine gun squad. They must practice their marksmanship well. This is extremely important for the firepower stability and suppression capabilities of our team's rear!" said Li Yuexuan.

"What about the bullet?" Xing Weiguo asked.

"I will assign the task of preparing gunpowder and propellant to Comrade Liu Feixu! Then, let her supervise the production! As for the sulfonamide issue, it needs to be done after the training is over! In addition, do we need to report the results of reloading bullets to the brigade headquarters? And we should also take care of the independent detachment." Li Yuexuan said.

"Eat one bite at a time and do things one step at a time! Let's ensure the training of the guerrillas first, and Old Zhu can just go and report on the matter!" Zhao Danian said.

"Okay, I'll get busy!" Li Yuexuan saw that there was nothing else to do, so he went to get busy. With so many things on his shoulders, he really felt like he was overwhelmed.

"Alas... those who are capable should do more work. No one can help him, so we can only watch!" Zhao Danian said with heartache when he saw Li Yuexuan busying himself.

"There's no other way. Our conditions are limited, so we can only ensure his treatment in life! Let's stew pork with vermicelli tonight and give the peregrine falcon more meat!" Xing Weiguo said.

"Hmm..." Everyone nodded.

Although Li Yuexuan didn't know that everyone was taking care of his life, he felt it in normal times! For example, there was extra meat in his bowl, the chives and sesame oil and soy sauce in the tofu pudding were extra thick, and when his clothes were dirty, Comrade Cai Xiaotian would wash them for him, and the stove in the west wing where he lived was the hottest, and someone was specially responsible for heating the kang...

Feeling the love of his comrades, Li Yuexuan put his greatest enthusiasm into his work! For example, on January 1, the Taoist priests finished their grenade launcher training. After three live ammunition tests, each Taoist priest was able to fire the grenade into the target area. After some consideration, Li Yuexuan finally selected four Taoist priests, Huang Haihun, Chen Haineng, Qian Haisheng, and Xie Haifeng, as grenade launchers.

According to the previous discussion, the grenade throwers of the first row of infantry are Bai Dashan (chief) Chen Side (deputy); Huang Haihun (chief), Chen Haineng (deputy); the grenade throwers of the second row are Zhang Lu (chief) Du Tian (deputy); Qian Haisheng (chief), Xie Haifeng (deputy). Please note that according to the tactical needs of the guerrillas and considering the configuration of the devils, these four soldiers are equipped with rifles.

In fact, these four comrades, especially Bai Dashan, are very good marksmen and can serve as precision shooters when grenade launcher suppression is not needed.

After finishing the work of the Taoist priests, Li Yuexuan put his energy into reloading bullets. However, after two days, he had nothing to do! Why? The bullet shells were all used up. Even if some shells can be used repeatedly, there is a limit to how many times they can be reloaded! Just one day later, the brigade received the news and sent some comrades over, bringing a large number of supplies and shells. They planned to set up a small workshop for reloading bullets in Liangjia Village.

Why? They brought food with them when they came. Doesn't this prove the point?
So, Li Yuexuan became the temporary workshop director and taught these comrades step by step how to operate the process of reloading bullets.

Perhaps the brigade had notified the independent detachment. Just when these new comrades were able to load their own bullets, Captain Guo from the independent detachment came again! That's right, Lao Guo was familiar with the route, so the detachment commander sent him here.

"Old Zhao, I'm here again, and I've brought you some supplies! Look, the canned meat we just seized is all delivered to you! There's also milk powder, milk candy, and..." In the east wing, Captain Guo talked to Zhao Danian for a long time, and finally said, "We just found out that you can load bullets, so we hurriedly sent you some bullet shells and other things, and we also sent you three rails!"

"Well, Lao Zhao, we are neighbors after all, can you help me pack some?" Captain Guo never felt so unconfident in his life. There was no other way, he had to ask for help!

"What are you talking about? We are all comrades and brother units. How can we just watch you without bullets? Don't worry, I'll give you some of the packed ones first! By the way, get us some sulfur, charcoal, etc., and we'll make some black powder to blow up the Japanese!" said Zhao Danian.

"Sulfur, right? The Liugou Iron Works has it! And do you want arsenic? We have it there too!" asked Captain Guo.

"What do I need arsenic for? To drink with wine? But... get some? What if the Japanese come one day?" Zhao Danian said.

"Well...if there's oleander somewhere, get some here. It's more poisonous!" Li Yuexuan also interrupted.

Everyone had a goal of beating the Japanese, so things were quickly settled. The Qinlai Detachment had a large area and a large population, so they were responsible for finding resources, while the guerrillas were hidden and had technology and equipment, so they helped them get bullets. If they could get explosives, they would also have grenades.

After the discussion, everyone was busy with their work. The days passed by one by one, and January came to an end. During this period, the recruits completed two Hell Week trainings, completed the gun familiarization training, and even had 1 rounds of ammunition training results. At the same time, the squad leaders of each class also selected their favorite soldiers, so on the 30st, the construction of the guerrilla team was truly completed.

After the construction is completed, the next step is to carry out more complicated training subjects, including collaborative training with the heavy machine gun squad.

And the squad leader of squad 7, Tianchuan, also selected 8 soldiers! So, special shooting intensive training followed! That's right, he can reload bullets by himself, and Zhao Danian is willing to invest in training costs.

Of course, it was not just Squad 7 that needed to strengthen their marksmanship training, but also the precision shooters in each platoon, including Wang Wu and Lan Hu from the heavy machine gun squad, and Xu Hongying, who also needed to strengthen their training. For this reason, Li Yuexuan had a new job, which was to take them to the surrounding mountains from time to time to conduct concealment, search training, and marksmanship and shooting training in various extreme environments.

In addition to these, the team also selected 5 soldiers who could walk on stilts from many soldiers and placed them in the team for training. Well, those 5 war horses finally came in handy! Using 1-meter stilts to train cavalry was a method learned from the division's cavalry regiment! Cavalry needs balance and waist and leg strength. People who can turn over on a stool on stilts only need a little training to ride a horse!
In short, if the devils don't make trouble, then the guerrillas will become more and more elite! But according to the devils' nature of not celebrating the New Year and not letting others celebrate the New Year, it is impossible not to make trouble! Therefore, during this period, whether it is northwest Shanxi, southeast Shanxi, or Jinzhong and Beiyue District, these bases have strengthened the investigation of the devils.

The purpose is to prevent the Japanese from making any moves and we fail to detect them in advance, thus causing unnecessary losses!
