Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Qiao Lin knew why Li Yunlong sighed, but he still asked deliberately.

"Since I came to the independent regiment, I've been so idle. I've been in this regiment all day long, and I've got lice all over my body. I haven't found my wife yet. I'm starting to take care of myself first, alas!"

Li Yunlong reached into his collar and scratched a few times, then began to complain.

"I didn't stay there all the time, didn't I fight a few battles?"

Qiao Lin is also a person who can't be idle. He started to get bored after returning to the regiment headquarters for half a day, so he had nothing to do but find something to chat with.

"I ambushed the infantry twice, and the cavalry once. It was a fart. I didn't do much. The one at Wuyakou was interesting, but how long has it been? I think when I led the troops, it was three A small battle every day, and a big battle every five days, that's good, the little devil is more precious than the unmarried big girl, and he can't see face."

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth, thinking about the past, and looking at the present, he felt more and more boring.

"Leader, these three words of yours are always about marrying a wife, and two words are about being a big girl. If you really feel like you're too busy, just find a wife. Once you have a wife, you won't be idle."

Jolin held back a smile and said.

"Did I say that much?"

Li Yunlong sat up and scratched the back of his head, then patted Qiao Lin on the head: "Just spread rumors, I'm just using an analogy, and you'll think you want women."

"Head, getting married and having children is a matter of course. There's nothing shameful about it. You meet the requirements in terms of rank, and you're over 30 in terms of age. People of your age in the village are starting to find engagements for their children. I wonder why you are still single."

Jolin curled his lips and said half-sarcastically.

People in this era generally get married earlier, except for those who are too poor to marry a wife. People in their 30s dare not talk about having grandchildren, but at least the children can go to work in the fields.

After all, Li Yunlong is also the head of the regiment. It is indeed rare to be single at this age.

"Our old Li was also a handsome young man back then. As soon as I went to the street, the big girls from all over the world turned to look at me. Unfortunately, I was poor at that time and couldn't afford a matchmaker. Later, I joined the army and kept running around fighting. Take care of getting married."

Li Yunlong smashed his mouth and explained why he was single.

Chapter 570 Three Li Yunlong True Man

Handsome young man?

Qiao Lin was very suspicious of Li Yunlong's words.

With this face full of creases in the smile and forehead lines thicker than staves, I guess he looked like a mature young man when he was young.

As soon as he went to the street, the big girls from all over the world were willing to look at him, what were they looking at?

See if you should call me brother or uncle?

"Ha ha!"

Qiao Lin laughed dryly, feeling that Li Yunlong was not only confident in fighting, but also confident in his appearance.

"What are you laughing at? Don't you believe me?"

Li Yunlong stared, feeling that Qiao Lin was laughing at him.

"Believe it, why don't you believe it? Leader, you are not bad now, square and upright, with a story on your face."

Qiao Lin quickly denied it and continued to "compliment".

It's a pity that Li Yunlong couldn't understand the connotation, so he waved his hands modestly: "No, I'm old, my face is dark, and my beard is thick, and it's far from what it used to be."

This kind of "humility" that completely avoided the point made Qiao Lin very speechless, so he simply kept silent.

But it was really boring. After a while of silence, Qiao Lin could only continue the previous topic, and it was time to pass the time: "Leader, let me tell you the truth, why don't you think about it and marry a wife."

"Haha, let's just make a joke about it, don't take it seriously, I haven't thought about getting married."

Li Yunlong smiled, shook his head and said.

"What's the matter, leader, you don't want to get married?"

Qiao Lin's curiosity was immediately hooked. It seemed that Li Yunlong was also quite healthy and had no defects. How could he not have thought about getting married?

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. Which man is willing to be a bachelor? I have lived for more than 30 years, and I want my wife and children to live on the bed, but I can't. We are soldiers, so we can't get married."

As he said that, Li Yunlong's expression became a little lonely. It can be seen that he still wants to get married.

"Regimental Commander, your logic is wrong. Why can't soldiers get married? We also have a lot of married people in the Eighth Route Army. Besides, soldiers are also human beings. Marriage and family are legitimate rights. If it doesn't violate the principle, it doesn't violate the law. Discipline, what's wrong with it?"

Qiao Lin was confused by Li Yunlong's words. He wanted to get married, but he couldn't get married because of his status as a soldier. It seems that there is no army in the world that stipulates that if you are a soldier, you can't get married.

In the mid-term of the Anti-Japanese War, when the Eighth Route Army grew stronger and gradually became more formal, it began to make a series of corresponding regulations on the marriage of servicemen.

But it was still the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and the Eighth Route Army did not have regulations in this regard. Most of the middle-level and grass-roots commanders had wives and children, and many soldiers even became fathers.

But regardless of whether there are regulations or not, Li Yunlong is eligible, why can't he get married?

"It's not that soldiers can't get married, it's that they can't get married now. That's right, many people in our army were married, but that was before the War of Resistance. What's the situation now? Little devils are rampant, and our soldiers Naturally, defending the land and defending the country is the most important thing, how can we only consider marriage?"

Li Yunlong knew that his words were ambiguous, so he quickly added an explanation.

A wave of respect arises spontaneously.

The country is the common home of the people and everyone.

Home is the home of yourself and your loved ones, and it is a small home.

Give up the small family for the sake of everyone, and the great man is for the country and the people.

"Furthermore, now that the war is in chaos, only one of us and the little devil can live. Either he dies or I die. What are you doing getting married at this time? Take your wife to fight together? Or let her stay at home? Maybe someday we will be married." If you die on the battlefield, you can't take others to live a stable life, and you have to make them a widow. Isn't that harmful to other girls? We are men, we can't do that, even if we want to find a wife, we have to wait until we beat the little devil away Let's talk."

Li Yunlong lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said.

It's not that I don't want to get married, it's that I can't get married!

Qiao Lin finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

The righteousness to the country and the people, the responsibility to the other half, such a man is the real man.

That's right, when the country is in crisis, who cares about their own private affairs.

Wearing this military uniform, no one knows how long they will live.

It is natural to start a family and start a business, but it also needs to be established in a relatively stable environment. There are wars everywhere. Choosing to start a family is irresponsible to this small family and irresponsible to the other half.

Li Yunlong should be thinking like this.

Although a bit extreme, it is undeniable that this is also in line with his consistent character.

Finding a wife should have been a relatively easy topic, but the conversation became a bit heavy, so Qiao Lin had no choice but to change the topic: "Leader, I haven't stayed in the regiment for a month, how is our regiment doing now?"

"Basically all the weapons are equipped, and now it has expanded to six battalions, but most of them are still recruits. Although the training has not fallen behind, after all, they have not been on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is still not good. After the last battle at Wuyakou, one The battalion is paralyzed, and there are only dozens of veterans left, and some of them have not recovered from their injuries. I gave them all the canned food you brought me..."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Li Yunlong became interested and began to talk endlessly.

The size of the independent regiment has been roughly fixed, divided into six battalions, and an artillery company, plus a cavalry company, has a strength of more than [-] people.

This size is almost equivalent to a brigade-level combat unit.

In addition, local armed forces such as the militia and district squads are also unified under the command of the independent regiment, with a total number of nearly [-] people.

The batch of equipment seized last time has been distributed to various troops, which can be regarded as a complete solution to the problem of insufficient equipment.

On the whole, the independent regiment is already on the right track, and its scale is even larger than before.

The biggest problem at present is that more than two-thirds of the existing soldiers are recruits with no combat experience and can only improve their military skills through continuous training.

But what the real combat effectiveness is, still needs to be tested through actual combat.

Li Yunlong has been in the army for many years, and he knows very well that the combat effectiveness of an army is not judged by the number of people.

No matter how many people there are, it is of no use not even daring to fire a gun on the battlefield.

No matter how strict the training is, it only enhances the physical fitness of the soldiers, allowing them to master certain military skills, learn how to aim and shoot, and know how to throw grenades.

But more important things cannot be learned on the training ground.

Only after experiencing actual combat can you adapt to the bloody battlefield, overcome the fear of killing and being killed, truly experience what it is like to fight in a team, understand your mission and obligations, and understand what you have done has no meaning.

It's useless to rely on the instructor to say these things with his mouth. Even if he says it a thousand or ten thousand times, it can only be remembered by the recruits.

If you want them to experience and understand, you must experience actual combat.

The cruel battlefield is a whetstone, and the army is a knife. Only by constant sharpening, will the knife become sharper and sharper.

A unit that has not experienced actual combat will definitely not be a unit with strong combat effectiveness, no matter how good the equipment is and how high the training performance is.

This is an iron-clad fact, and it is also the truth summed up by human beings in countless wars for thousands of years.

But the cavalry company is also a unit that has never been on the battlefield. It can snatch back seven trucks in the first shot, and it can open the eyes of several brigade heads in the second shot.

Is this a bit contradictory?

Chapter 570 The Boring Independent Group

In fact, there is no contradiction at all.

Who are the soldiers of the cavalry company?

They are all soldiers drawn from various troops.

The fact that the cavalry company has never been on the battlefield does not mean that the soldiers of the cavalry company have never been on the battlefield.

They were veterans of various regiments before becoming cavalrymen.

As far as Qiao Lin knew, Sun Desheng and Chen Youjin had been in the army for nearly ten years.

Among the 190 soldiers in the entire cavalry company, the one with the shortest enlistment time is nearly two years.

Among these fighters, any one picked at random has very rich combat experience.

It is even no exaggeration to say that if the soldiers of the cavalry company who have never been on the battlefield dismounted from their horses and converted into infantry, their combat effectiveness would be no worse than that of any army.

That's why Commander Liu suddenly decided to disband the cavalry companies of each unit when the little devil's sweep was approaching.

Because these soldiers dismounted, they didn't need to receive any training at all, and they could go directly to the battlefield to fight skillfully.

The cavalry company made two shots. Although the scale was small, it was really brilliant enough that even Brigadier Chen was amazed by it.

It is undeniable that Qiao Lin is responsible for this. His training methods and his combat thinking have affected the overall combat effectiveness of the cavalry company, allowing the soldiers to develop physical fitness and military skills far superior to ordinary soldiers.

But more importantly, these fighters have experienced actual combat. They know what the battlefield is like and how to fight.

If the cavalry company is compared to a battleship that will ride the wind and waves on the ocean in the future.

So what Qiao Lin played was to repaint the warship that was stranded on the beach and push it into the sea.
