Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The veterans rushed down the mountain ridge with semi-automatic rifles, assault rifles and even shotguns, and captured the hidden puppet soldiers one by one, taking in a total of 89 puppet soldiers. Well, from the time the veterans finished shooting to the end of the battle, the casualties of the puppet soldiers still added up to the single digits.

But despite this, the puppet troops were still frightened by the firepower on the hilltop and finally had to surrender to end the battle! In fact, from the moment the devils were completely wiped out, the battle could basically be declared a victory, but this victory still requires a process, a process of combat training for the new recruits.

"Behave yourself, everyone. The policy of our Eighth Route Army is to treat prisoners well, but we will not treat stubborn prisoners well! Whoever dares to escape or resist, be careful that our bullets have no eyes!" The old soldiers escorted the puppet troops with guns and walked up the mountain slowly. The new recruits saw all of this.

"Sir, we are all familiar with the policies of the Eighth Route Army. We are all good people. We were forced to join the puppet army!"

"That's right, sir. The propaganda team of the Eighth Route Army said that we are all Chinese. We are in Cao's camp but our hearts are with Han!"

"Shut up, everyone. Get out of here quickly. You all know our policies so well, but have you ever thought of deserting and revolting? All right, come and sign up..." The instructor of a company of the independent regiment, who was just there for the fun, personally made a list of the prisoners, intending to take them back for further processing.

At this time, Bai Dabao issued the third order: let the recruits go down to clean up the battlefield and complete the second lesson of the recruits' growth.

So, the new recruits, who were still in an excited state after the shooting, went down the mountain under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, saw the dead Japanese and puppet soldiers, and saw death and blood most directly.

Gunshot wounds, don’t be fooled by the way they look on TV, but real gunshot wounds, especially fatal ones, are not that pretty! For example, if a bullet hits the abdomen, especially the stomach, the strong kinetic energy of the bullet will cause strong cavity pressure on the tail, and the final result is that the stomach will burst directly.

When stomach acid, food residues mixed with blood and broken stomach tissue flowed out from the burst wound on the belly, it was really ugly and smelly, and it could be called a feast for the eyes and smells.

Would it be better if the muzzle hit the stomach? It might look better from the front, but a bullet that penetrates the stomach will tear a bowl-sized wound in the lower back or side. Then, the broken intestines will flow out, and blood will flow all over the ground...

The arm was broken by a blow, and white bone was exposed among the red flesh and blood... In short, all kinds of wounds were fully displayed in front of these recruits. The impact was something that anyone who had seen it could understand!

So…some soldiers with weak psychological endurance felt their legs and feet go weak, their eyes went dark, their heads became dizzy, and they no longer had the excitement they had before. Even those with strong psychological endurance felt scared, bitter in their mouths, their stomachs twitched, and they wanted to vomit…

However, no matter how the recruits performed, the veterans kept a stern face and taught the recruits how to clean the battlefield one by one, and then watched the recruits do it themselves.

"What are you afraid of? They are all the same as the parts of your body. If you are not afraid of the living ones, why should you be afraid of the dead ones?"

"Hey, take this severed hand. This is it. Put it on his body later. At least he will have an intact body after he dies!"

"You're scared, right? You're disgusted, right? But think about it, if you're not ruthless enough and your shots are not accurate enough, then one or even all of you could die in this battle! Look at this guy with a cracked head. If you don't train hard and improve yourself, then this could be your fate in the next battle!" "What are you standing there for? Erzhuang, lift his upper body, Youcai, lift his legs, and drag him to the riverside, where we can gather the spoils!"

The veterans shouted, and the new recruits kept their faces straight and gritted their teeth, mechanically listening to the veterans' instructions, and soon dragged dozens of corpses to the riverside. Then, some soldiers searched for spoils under the guidance of the veterans, and some new recruits searched for all the scattered items on the battlefield under the command of the veterans, including the shells dropped by the puppet army and the devils, and tried their best to pick them up.

"Come on, look carefully. This is how you take off the Japanese uniform. First, unbutton it, then raise your arms..."

"Watch carefully, our supplies are scarce, so we must clean the battlefield thoroughly! Why are you looking at the west? There are veterans watching over both ends. Your task now is to learn how to clean the battlefield from us! Remember, it must be thorough! If you seize a rifle, you must look for the bayonet and the bullets..."

"Look, basically, just strip the Japanese like this, and finally get to the loincloth. First check if the Japanese have pulled their pants down, if not, take the loincloth as well! Finally, check the Japanese's mouths one by one. The Japanese like to have gold teeth, and this is made of gold, so you must break it off and take it away, and we'll use it to buy supplies!"

If carrying the corpses just now was barely tolerable, now they had to touch things on the corpses of the Japanese puppet soldiers and take off their uniforms. The recruits had to come into direct contact with the wounds! If they were not careful, they would touch the intestines, which were slippery and bloody... So, the second collective vomiting sound was finally heard again.

Of course, there were also some really ruthless people who just watched indifferently throughout the whole process, doing whatever the veteran told them to do without any stage fright. They even reached out and touched something and put it back into the wound.

Such soldiers would be noted down by the squad leaders, and after reporting back, they would be trained as medics or other types of soldiers. If they were extremely stupid, they could also be trained as commandos.

In short, the second lesson for the recruits today is also a step in selecting their future development direction, but the recruits are not clear about it.

Well, even if the new soldiers knew about it, it would be difficult for them to overcome their psychological fear for a while. After all, humans are afraid of the corpses of their own kind, which is probably a signal recorded in their genetic sequences.

Time passed slowly as the recruits cleaned mechanically, while the sounds of fighting in the west became less and less, and finally became quiet.

To the west, soldiers from the third company rushed over carrying some wounded and captured puppet soldiers. When they saw the battle still being finished, they all smiled happily.

"Company commander, this..." An old soldier pointed at the weapons put together and nodded at the company commander of the third company.

"Well, that's today's spoils! However, since we have the reputation of being the money-giving boy, these weapons will most likely remain in our battalion!" The third company commander said with a smile.

"It's not just the captured weapons and ammunition. I feel like, after the new recruits from the Beishan Detachment finish this battle, they will most likely go back, and those supplies and prisoners will also be left to us!" The instructor of the third company pointed to the piles of uniforms and said. (End of this chapter)
