With the soldiers, the next step is to train them. Niu Wazi, who had enough show of authority in front of the new recruits, did not catch up with this good thing. Xie Bo gave the job of training the new recruits to Liu Yangyang, and Liu Yangyang took it with him.
Tangcheng, Nianzi and a veteran of the second company named Cheng Jiafu. "There are 15 people in one class, and these guys happen to be in three classes. The extra 5 will be given to Niu Wazi to take with him to the town entrance to serve as a guard, and also to get some information.
"Liu Yangyang's arrangement made Tang Cheng dumbfounded.
"No, no, I can't be the squad leader. There are so many veterans in the company. Any one of you can be better than me. I can't." Tang Cheng, who knew how many bowls of rice he could eat, kept shaking his head.
He had already heard the meaning of Liu Yangyang's words, which was to promote him to be the squad leader. But he was only 19 years old and had only worn the uniform of the second company for a few days. Besides, he was only a first-class soldier, and he had never heard of what a first-class soldier could do.
The monitor's.
"What?" Liu Yangyang glared, "Why don't I talk well? There are only a dozen or so of the 30-odd people in our second company who can still fight with guns. Among these dozen, you are the only one who has killed the most.
.The Second Company has always looked only at military merit and not age. Anyone who can retire alive is a good person. Do you think the squad leader is not worthy of consideration? Well, then I will give you the platoon leader as a reward.
"The new recruits are practicing team exercises in an open space more than ten meters away. Liu Yangyang is not afraid of being heard by them when he speaks here.
"But I'm just a novice who has only put on the military uniform for a few days. How can I teach them?" He lowered his head and muttered, and Tang Cheng kicked the pebbles on the ground with his feet, looking extremely depressed.
The army is a place where you have to rely on your skills to earn a living. This is what Xie Bo told Tang Cheng on the way, but when Tang Cheng thought about it carefully, besides being able to speak and write Japanese, English and shooting, there seemed to be nothing that could be regarded as his skills.
Yes, it seems that his marksmanship is not very good. He still wants to teach the newcomers with this skill. Tangcheng himself needs someone to teach him. He asks himself that he is not qualified to be the squad leader.
"I said you are a stubborn kid," Liu Yangyang scolded angrily, "What do you think the squad leader is? Is he a nanny? The squad leader is the guarantee for the survival of those brothers, and the survival of the brothers in your class.
Your squad leader is qualified." This is the first time Tang Cheng has heard that the squad leader does this. Didn't newspapers and radio stations say that soldiers are the cornerstone of defending the country? Why did Liu Yangyang's mouth change?
Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't seem to understand what he was talking about, Liu Yangyang had no choice but to explain slowly and patiently, "The people fighting in this war are human beings. Holding a gun and fighting to the death with the little Japs will relieve your anger, but what if we all **
If we are all exhausted, who will fight against the Japs? Fight when you need to, and retreat when you need to, leaving the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. Do you think this is the truth? As long as our people still have guns, there will be plenty of opportunities to fight against the Japs.
,Right?"
Tang Cheng was completely confused by Liu Yangyang. Fortunately, with Liu Yang's help, the newcomers could barely survive the first day of training. However, looking at Tang Cheng, it seemed that he was even more tired than those newcomers.
"Is this okay with you? I think this kid will die sooner or later because of the torment you have." Liu Yangyang, who was chatting with Xie Bo in Tangcheng while he was lighting lamps and boiling oil and reading through Xie Bo's Huangpu infantry textbooks, felt a little unbearable.
After Tang Cheng found weapons in the basement of that dilapidated building, Liu Yangyang's impression of Tang Cheng was quietly changing unknowingly. Moreover, he himself admitted that Tang Cheng learned things quickly and was indeed a natural born fighter.
"A knife cannot be sharpened if it is not sharpened, and a jade cannot be made into a weapon if it is not polished. Where can I be? I think it was much more miserable when I was in Huangpu." Xie Bo, who looked much better and spoke much more clearly, joined the 88th Division.
Maybe it will be the day when he leaves the Second Company. He wants to teach Tang Cheng as much as possible before leaving. "Tang Cheng's qualifications are very good. As long as he goes through a few more battles, he may not be as good as us."
Damn, maybe this guy can do better than both of us."
"I hope so." Liu Yangyang lit a cigarette and handed it to Xie Bo. The number of refugees coming from Shanghai has suddenly increased in the past few days. Although Niu Wazi, who was guarding the entrance of the town, had not found any signs of large troops withdrawing, sporadic
The defeated army has appeared. If the current situation continues, the war in Shanghai may be another defeat. More than ten years of military career have already made Liu Yangyao's heart as solid as stone. Even if he takes off this military uniform, he will not starve to death.
, but he couldn't let go of these brothers who survived the battlefield, nor could he let go of the Second Company.
"Don't think so much. We are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey orders. After eating this dinner, this life is no longer our own. We have already taken a big advantage by being able to survive until now. Compared to
Those brothers who died on the battlefield, we are much luckier." Xie Bo looked down at his broken arm with some self-mockery. Fortunately, it was only his left arm, otherwise it would be a big trouble for him to do daily things.
"Yes, we are much more lucky than Big Lao Zhang and Xu Hu. At least we have meat to eat and wine to drink now." Taking a deep puff of cigarette, Liu Yangyang raised his head and sighed, his eyes already filled with moisture and heat.
But he would never allow the wet heat to flow out of his eyes. Both Zhang and Xu Hu were veterans of the second company, and had the best relationship with Liu Yangyang, especially Xu Hu, who would have replaced Liu Yangyang during the retreat.
If he blocked the bullet, he would probably end up rotting in the rubble of Shanghai.
He moved his body to change his position and leaned on the bedside, maybe pulling the wounds on his body. Xie Bo grinned and sucked in the cold air, "Are you going to fight? There are immortals there, but they just die early and die late.
Things, maybe the Japanese sneaked into Qiandeng Town, and all of us will die here. Then won’t you see Xu Hu and the others again?” Xie Bo’s words made Liu Yangyang’s heart melt instantly.
Out of anger, Liu Yangang rolled his eyes at Xie Bo angrily, and Liu Yangyang quickly left the room and went straight to the kitchen.
"I didn't say anything? Why are you so angry?" Looking at Liu Yangyang leaving quickly, Xie Bo smiled a little heartlessly. In fact, he had just seen the moisture in Liu Yangyang's eyes, but Liu Yangyang was just
Liu Yangyang is a man who cherishes his face, and Xie Bo can't expose it to his face. Liu Yangyang may not be able to command a battle, but he is a guy who knows how to save lives on the battlefield. If Liu Yangyang hadn't been there, at least more than half of the remaining people in the second company would have died.
Even Xie Bo himself was killed on the battlefield.
It was precisely because Xie Bo knew Liu Yangyang's shortcomings that he tried his best to keep Tangcheng. No one was born to lead troops in war. Xie Bo did not expect what would happen to Tangcheng in the future. He only hoped that Tangcheng could help
Let Liu Yangyang maintain the Second Company, at least let the brothers of the Second Company live longer and better. Tang Cheng is a smart man, he just doesn’t know what he can do and what he wants to do. Xie Bo believes that as long as he gives Tang Cheng
Given the opportunities and conditions in the city, this 19-year-old boy will definitely become a qualified soldier and even go further and higher than himself.
It was also Xie Bo's idea to arrange for Tang Cheng to lead a class of newcomers. It is better to actually do it than to say it a thousand times. Xie Bo taught Tang Cheng so many things on the road. Without the opportunity to practice, all the efforts on paper are in vain. Being a squad leader may
It was a good opportunity for Tang Cheng to teach and train the newcomers while learning by himself. Xie Bo did not expect Tang Cheng to train those dozen newcomers. He only hoped that Tang Cheng could learn from them.
.Tangcheng is a knife that has just come out of the oven, and those newcomers are the whetstones. Xie Bo hopes that those whetstones can sharpen the knife of Tangcheng.
"How's it going? Training new recruits is fun, isn't it? If you don't understand anything, just ask Liu Yangyang. He has a lot of stuff in his belly. I can just give you some, it will be enough for you." Someone called Tang Cheng,
Xie Bo, who was leaning on the bed, was chatting with Tang Cheng. Compared with when Liu Yangyang took Tang Cheng out of the church a few days ago, Tang Cheng just changed into a military uniform. He was the same as before. The only change was that
Maybe it was Tang Cheng's eyes. Xie Bo saw something familiar in Tang Cheng's eyes.
"It's okay, I just feel tired. The training of those two classes is pretty normal, but mine is a lot slower. Those newbies can't even do team exercises now." Tang Cheng was a little embarrassed to mention his own class.
Niu Wazi has been teasing him all afternoon just because of his training progress.
"That's how recruit training is. You can't rush, you can only take your time." Knowing that Tang Cheng can smoke, Xie Bo smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it to Tang Cheng, "Those people have never read and are illiterate.
Naturally, it will be slow to learn these things, but now it is wartime, there is no need to train those infantry drills, just teach them how to shoot. Once the Japanese army comes over, they will not care about our infantry drills, but how accurate our shooting is.
, these things are included in the teaching materials I gave you. If you study them carefully and then train them, they can still survive as long as they fight a few battles with the Japanese army. There are some things that they can learn by themselves even if you don’t teach them."
Xie Bo's mention of accurate shooting made Tang Cheng a little uneasy. His marksmanship was already very poor, and if he was still training those new recruits, he might be laughed at by those guys. "Niu Wazi said they saw what they saw today.
There are scattered soldiers coming from the direction of Shanghai, do you know this?" Faced with Xie Bo's question, Tang Cheng nodded subconsciously, but he did not realize that this had anything to do with him.
"There are only 5 people in Niu Wazi, which is a bit small, so I plan to allocate one class of manpower to the town entrance every day starting from tomorrow to help guard. The town entrance is spacious and very suitable for training. You can train and help Niu at the same time.
Wazi checked the passing refugees and stragglers."
From leaving Xie Bo's room to having dinner, Tang Cheng was still dizzy. He only remembered Xie Bo's last words, "Tomorrow, your class will go to the town entrance to help with the investigation. Remember
Come on, you are now a squad leader of our 88th Division, don’t let our 88th Division lose face."
