The quality of the recruits is getting better and better, and the veterans feel more at ease.

"Then I have to treat these little bastards well."

"You don't have to treat it well, you might just walk away and give it back your life one day."

Bored soldiers sit by the wall, and all they can do is sleep, eat, bicker, bicker, eat, and sleep.

No one got angry during the quarrel. People who have experienced life and death together will no longer lose their temper just because a few words hit a sore spot.

After the company commander counted the recruits, he asked a squad leader to assign the recruits to each platoon, and then the platoon leader assigned them to each squad.

"Hello, my name is..."

The new recruits who had just been added to the class greeted the veterans.

The veteran shook hands with him lazily.

The veteran opened one eye and closed the other, trying to see the recruit's appearance clearly in the dazzling sunlight.

In fact, there is no need for him to remember the appearance of the recruits now. In a fierce battle, the recruits will definitely die first, and other recruits will be added by then.

However, the veteran still kindly reminded: "Don't get yourself injured."

On the battlefield, injuries are common and the most painful thing because there are never enough medicines.

Sometimes, a wound as big as a finger may lead to amputation, because it is thought that the medicine is insufficient.

Although it is just a very plain reminder, it is indeed the most practical concern.

"Lao Qi, you come and take care of this new soldier." The squad leader came over.

"What the hell, I don't lead new recruits." The veteran complained, "I am the assaulter of our class. Our class has never had a recruit as an assaulter. It will kill people."

Assaulters with no actual combat experience go to the battlefield and don't know when to take action or when not to take action.

If a new recruit is to be an assaulter, placing him in front means he will die. If he is placed behind a veteran, the veteran will always feel that the recruit will shoot him out of nervousness.

"Will he learn it soon if you teach him more?" the monitor said.

"Where did you teach me how to be a commando? No one ever taught me that if I was thrown into the battlefield and survived, I would know what to do." said the veteran.

"You are our class's commando genius, right? Our veterans have all been trained by us. This is the only one. Please help." The squad leader said calmly.

The veteran glanced at the squad leader and knew that there were only four veterans left in the squad who had fought in more than three battles. Several others had trained new recruits, but he had not.

"I told you the ugly things beforehand, and if I lead to bad things, don't come after me."

The squad leader patted the veteran on the shoulder: "Be more responsible. If the war continues like this, I may be glorious one day, and you will have to support our squad."

"The sun is shining brightly today, and I'm in a good mood. Can you please stop saying these depressing words to me? Those of us who are commandos don't have a long life."

When new recruits are added to the team, they should be led by experienced veterans on the battlefield for a period of time. Otherwise, when the new recruits go to the battlefield and the sound of gunfire sounds, the new recruits will be nervous and easily make wrong decisions.

At this time, there is a veteran by his side, even if he kicks the recruit, it is possible to save the recruit's life.

"Brigadier, do you want to go back?"

Zhao Ziming, Tian Kezhi and the commander of the third brigade met inside the headquarters.

Hearing that Zhao Ziming was going to return to the highway position the day after tomorrow, several officers from the Third Brigade clamored to return to the position with Zhao Ziming.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Are there so many supplies on the battlefield for you to waste? If the supplies are gone, how much manpower and material resources will our logistics troops have to spend to feed you and fight?" Zhao Ziming scolded.

"It can be seen that you are a good soldier led by Brother Zhao." Tian Kezhi stood aside and said with a smile.

"After I leave, all actions must be subject to the orders of Chief of Staff Tian. If I hear that anyone dares to disobey Chief of Staff Tian's orders, I will come back from the road position and you will get out of my brigade and go wherever you like.

where."

Zhao Ziming naturally understood the meaning of Tian Kezhi's words.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army are not private armed forces, they are not warlord troops, and they do not exist because of their brigade commanders.

"Brother Zhao, how is the situation on the front line?" Tian Kezhi asked.

"We are not optimistic. The fortifications built by the Japanese army are getting stronger and stronger, and it is becoming more and more difficult for Lao Qin's attack to advance. The Japanese army has almost completely defended us." Zhao Ziming sighed.

When the two sides are facing each other, the same method cannot be used twice.

Every time they broke through the Japanese army's position, the Japanese army would have a way to deal with it.

"The only way for Japanese reinforcements to pass is very close to the highway position, right?" Tian Kezhi continued to ask.

Before Zhao Ziming returned to the brigade headquarters from the headquarters, Tian Kezhi had already called the regiment commander and several battalion commanders over, asking about the Japanese support route.

On the west side of the road position, it was impossible for the Japanese army to hoard a large number of troops, nor to store a large amount of ammunition.

Tian Kezhi and others had determined that the Japanese army had built a proposed mountain road on both sides of the highway position.

Although the mountain road is narrow, the Japanese army can transport supplies and troops from the east side to the west side of the road position in a short period of time.

"It's not far, but the direction of the mountain road can't be determined. There are Japanese military posts all around, and in some places, the Japanese army has laid mines. The number is not large, but the mines are arranged very delicately." Zhao Ziming said.

"Hey~"

After hearing Zhao Ziming's description, Tian Kezhi let out a long sigh.

"Do you have an idea about these two mountain roads controlled by the Japanese army?"

"I have some ideas, but now it seems that the Japanese army's deployment around here is very complete, and it is difficult to implement the ideas. No wonder the commander has not ordered to cut off the Japanese army's retreat first," Tian Kezhi said.

The Japanese army has constant retreat, and the Japs can always add more troops to the position.

"Yes, we tried it when we were on the battlefield, and some soldiers triggered the mines deployed by the Japanese army." Zhao Ziming said.

Otherwise, Zhao Ziming and the others would not have known that the Japanese army had deployed sentries and mines.

"The mountain road is narrow, so I'm afraid our artillery fire won't be effective," Tian Kezhi said.

Destroying the road with heavy artillery so that the Japanese army could not replenish supplies, and then taking advantage of the situation to seize the Japanese position was definitely the most energy-saving method.

However, the mountain road is narrow and it is impossible to judge its direction. Even if a heavy artillery bombardment is carried out, not a single shell may hit.

"Yes, our artillery shells cannot do such meaningless things. After all, we are not as wealthy as the little devils."

The Japanese army could squander their artillery shells unscrupulously because they had sufficient reserves, but the First Army Division could not because their artillery shell output was far less than the consumption of artillery shells.

"If... what I'm talking about is if... we use artillery fire to attract the Japanese army, can our scouts approach the mountain road controlled by the Japanese army?" Tian Kezhi proposed a setup.

"Artillery fire can attract the Japanese troops to deploy sentries around, but how to deal with landmines?" Zhao Ziming asked.
