Unlike other regiments, after two days of selection, the Four Lines Regiment selected 198 recruits that met its requirements, which was 102 short of the number of recruits that needed to be supplemented.
Not only did the four regiments under the 10th Preliminary Division recruit 400 men each, the main regiments such as the 28th Regiment and the 30th Regiment also secretly recruited 300 men each to serve as stretcher bearers.
The so-called stretcher bearers don't have to carry a gun when the situation is critical?
"Each one has different needs. We are taking the route of elite soldiers and prefer to have fewer troops than too many, but Master Ge is taking the route of having more people and more strength, and working hard to achieve miracles. There is no absolute good or bad, only whether it is suitable or not." Tang Dao happened to bump into him.
Fang Xianjue was criticizing Ge Youcai for not following military orders, privately recruiting nearly a thousand more people, and not following the example of the Four Lines Regiment in adopting the route of elite soldiers, so he quickly helped Master Ge relieve his work.
"Yes, that's the truth. The biggest advantage our 10th Preliminary Division has against the enemy in this battle is the fortifications. As long as the fortifications don't collapse and the recruits can shoot, they can stop the Japanese. If it's not accurate, we'll have to fight for a few more days, pig.
Everyone can become a marksman." Ge Youcai grinned happily.
Tang Dao's words spoke to his heart.
How can anyone who can sit in the position of lieutenant general and division commander be a fool? That commander does not need elite soldiers, but Master Ge understands that due to equipment and training reasons, his pre-10th division cannot have all the elite soldiers like the Si Xing Regiment.
path.
Then, you have to rely on enough people! Each regiment adds 400 people, and one point is given to the 12 companies of the 3 battalions. In fact, each company has less than 40 people, and there are only 4 people in a class. Let the veterans lead the area and experience
Those who can survive a few battles will become veterans.
In Hengyang, the most indispensable thing is the battlefield.
Yes, although both sides in Hengyang are secretly building up their armies and gathering strength, there are no major battles, but small battles continue every day.
The recruits didn't need to go to any training ground at all. They rushed directly to the battlefield, issued their rifles, and followed the veterans' method, aiming at the opposite side and hitting anything alive.
Today's Hengyang City has an abundance of bullets, and there will never be a shortage of live ammunition for recruits.
Therefore, in the next few days, there were constant gunshots from various positions outside Hengyang City, which made the Japanese somewhat confused.
Although there were no major wars during this period, and small conflicts continued one after another, what do you mean by fighting blindly like this?
Is it possible that the Chinese in the city are so rich in bullets that they can waste them at will?
"This is an empty city tactic that the Chinese sing about! Their supplies must be running low, at least not as much as they show." Lieutenant General Yan Yongwang, commander of the 116th Division, thought carefully for 10 minutes and said:
came to such a conclusion.
Shimamanuki Takeshi......
If the Chinese say that they are using the few supplies they have left so wastefully just to confuse their opponents' judgment, then they are being super stupid.
After all, even a fool knows that the Japanese Empire will never give up attacking Hengyang because of whether its opponent is rich or short of supplies.
Obviously, the Chinese side will not give up its recruit training just because the Japanese army is a little confused. Whether they can hit or not is not the important point. The important point is that the recruits must be able to shoot and dare to shoot.
A war may break out at any time, and the new recruits must become a timely fighting force, even if it is to undermine the success of the war.
Because this is war.
However, the training of recruits is still somewhat different in each unit. For example, the 3rd Battalion of the Fourth Army Regiment focuses on a maverick, and Li Jiujin's brain is somewhat different from others.
Luo Dahu was assigned to Class 4, 7th Company, 3rd Battalion, and became a private. He was also the only soldier in Class 4 with a rank below sergeant.
Luo Dahu was the sixth-ranked strongman in the assessment. Relying on the thick body unique to northerners and the will to earn a future for his wife and children, Luo Dahu just ran out of blood and ran within 25 minutes.
However, he was a bit too old, so Qian Dazhu, who was responsible for recruiting soldiers of the 1st Battalion who had been guarding Huangchaling for 20 days, gave up on him after thinking over and over again.
However, Boss Cao, who came to recruit troops on behalf of the 3rd Battalion, fell in love with Luo Dahu, who was already over 30 years old. Perhaps Luo Dahu's resume was somewhat similar to his own, which made him the deputy company commander of the 7th company and the 3rd platoon leader of the 7th company.
Lieutenant Cao felt empathy.
But as Boss Cao said later: "You all see that he is old and feel that there is no potential to be tapped, but you also don't think about it. He is a man in his 30s, just so that his wife and children can have enough to eat in the future, without any experience."
Under any training conditions, he can run 6,000 meters for 25 minutes. What kind of tenacity is this? Just for this tenacity, he is worthy of joining my 7th company and 4th class."
In most companies, the sharp knife platoon and the sharp knife squad are both prefixed with "1". The 7th company is an exception. The 4th squad is the well-deserved sharp knife squad of the whole company. No one can earn this.
Because, it was fought by the 4th Squadron with the lives of 13 soldiers and the overwhelming sacrifices of heaven and earth. It was a real battle achievement and record.
Which squad dares to say that just one squad can defeat most of the Japanese infantry brigade? And which squad dares to say that two people can hold off hundreds of Japanese troops who attack continuously for an hour, and one of them has a broken leg?
With a blind soldier?
But Class 4 did it like this, and performed a miracle in the battle at Niangzi Pass.
Moreover, Tu Yunsheng, who was missing a leg, and Boss Cao, who was blind in one eye, were not seriously injured and retired. They continued to participate in various battles thereafter, and accumulated meritorious service to become captains and lieutenants.
What's even more awesome is that after that serious injury, it seemed like God was taking care of them. In the next five years, these two people never suffered another serious injury.
Class 4 did not live up to the sacrifices of its predecessors. Although in the following years, some veterans died in battle or were seriously injured and retired or were promoted to other platoons and companies. The one with the longest military service was former recruit Liu Adong.
I also became the new monitor of Class 4 last year.
Of course, these stories were only heard by Luo Dahu after he entered Class 4. Every recruit who enters Class 4 will be shocked and infected by the stories of his seniors.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is precisely because of this spiritual inheritance that the soldiers of Class 4 have never been cowards. Even the recruits who have just left the training ground have no cowards when facing the fierce artillery fire.
Soldiers in other companies were so frightened that they peed their pants.
Although that is actually very normal, as long as it is a living thing, there is no one who is not afraid of death. There is always a joke in the Four Elements Group: "You are not afraid if you are scared to the point of peeing, as long as you are not scared to the point of shit!"
In fact, the Si Xing Regiment has always been very tolerant towards new recruits. They have never been afraid to shoot them on the battlefield to scare the monkeys. At worst, they will be considered unfit for combat and they will be withdrawn from active service.
That's because everyone in the Four Elements Group is confident enough to believe that even scrap metal will be smelted into fine steel when it reaches their big melting pot.
In fact, this is indeed the case. One person's bravery may lead a group of people, but what about a group of people who are brave and fearless? The individual's will is a weak candle in the face of the collective power, and is coerced into a collective appearance almost instantly.
After seven years of war, the Four Elements Group has become what Tang Dao wanted it to be.
Even if the Four Elements Regiment was crippled in the Battle of Hengyang, as long as one-tenth of the people survive, the spirit and backbone of the Four Elements Regiment will still be there and can be rebuilt at any time. Even if the entire army is annihilated, what he left behind in the Taihang Mountains
Those seeds can also reproduce this elite force.
The body can disappear, but the fearless spirit and will will last forever!
However, when the middle-aged Luo Dahu first arrived at his glorious infantry squad, he was not shocked by the stories of the veterans.
When Luo Dahu, led by squad leader A Dong, walked through the twists and turns of the trench to the artillery cave, he was stunned when he looked at his comrades who stood up to welcome him.
During this period of time, he had worked in the 10th Preliminary Division for a week, and he knew to some extent the military ranks of the senior men in the infantry squad and infantry platoon.
In the 10th Preliminary Division, it would be good to have two or three sergeants in a squad. Most of them were just like him, either privates or first-class soldiers. There was no one like the squad he came from. Even a 20-year-old
'Dolls', all carrying the rank of corporal.
What's the matter? This is because the entire infantry squad has achieved military exploits?
Seeing Luo Dahu staring blankly at the military rank on the collar badge, Adong, who has become the squad leader of the 4th squad, smiled slightly and introduced Luo Dahu one by one: "This is the deputy squad leader Sheng, from Licheng, Shanxi Province, with 4 years of military experience.
, he has achieved second-class military merit once, and has achieved third-level military merit once, with the rank of first-class sergeant major; this is a Muggle, from Sichuan Province, with 3 years of military service, and has achieved third-class military merit once, with the rank of sergeant..."
Luo Dahu almost mechanically saluted these "veterans" who were either sergeants or sergeants, and the lowest were corporals, even the little guy named Xiao Shiba who had only green fur above his lips and a somewhat shy expression on his face.
The reason why he is called Xiao Shiba is because this young man, whose family is in Henan Province, had just turned 18 when he joined the army. If the regimental commander had not seen the skinny young man on the road and kindly gave him a bag of grain,
The life of eighteen may not last until the age of eighteen.
But the seventeen-year-old boy waited until the person who rescued him was Tang Dao, the leader of the Four Lines Regiment. He actually relied on this bag of food to walk hundreds of kilometers into the fifth war zone, found the headquarters of the Four Lines Regiment and asked to join the army. Finally, he
On my 18th birthday, I became a member of the Four Elements Group.
Shiba was originally a first-class soldier a week ago, but after rotating the 1st Battalion to the Huangchaling position, Shiba encountered his first actual combat in two years of joining the army. As a result, this soldier who was originally the only soldier in Class 4 who had never participated in actual combat became famous in one battle.
, shot and killed 5 attacking Japanese soldiers, and killed 4 Japanese soldiers with cold shots in three days. The superior soldier with great military achievements was promoted to corporal by the front line of fire. He only wore the rank of corporal corporal two days before Luo Dahu arrived.
Luo Dahu's head was buzzing after listening to squad leader A Dong's introduction to the corporal who could almost be his son.
What kind of magical infantry squad did he have here? He killed 9 people each in a few days. With this efficiency, how many Japanese would have to die before they were finished?
"Okay, now that we are all acquainted, Lao Luo will be handed over to Shiba. While the little devils have calmed down in the past two days, Shiba will take Lao Luo to familiarize himself with the environment of the position we are defending. In addition, carry out necessary operations on him.
some training.
By the way, Lao Luo is a new recruit after all, so you should be careful about too dangerous training." After A Dong explained, he turned around and went to the platoon headquarters.
In fact, Adong didn't pay much attention to the recruitment of new recruits. Two days ago, a brother who was a precision shooter was really unlucky. During a cold-blooded sniper attack with the Japanese army, he killed a Japanese soldier 400 meters away with one shot, but he was killed.
The Japanese army's grenade launchers were ambushed, and six grenade launchers aimed at him and fired wildly in his direction. One shrapnel penetrated his thigh and almost severed an artery. He had to go to a field hospital for treatment, and then a new soldier came in.
However, although Class 4 now does not have the support soldiers that were specially equipped for Tu Yunsheng, the special establishment is still retained. At full capacity, it still reaches 20 people. The loss of one precision shooter does not have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of Class 4.
On the contrary, when new recruits arrive, they have to be trained and their safety has to be taken care of, which is really a bit of a drag.
A Dong was thinking about looking for Platoon Leader Cao again, and asked Luo Dahu, who was in good physical condition, to be assigned to the fire squad. Even if he couldn't go into battle immediately to kill the enemy, he could still move ammunition and other things with his brute force.
?
Luo Dahu didn't know that he was now a drag in the heart of squad leader A Dong. He was eager to try when he first joined the army! His comrades were so awesome, so he couldn't hold them back, right?
The most important thing is that after I heard that Shiba became a corporal, his military salary and allowance exceeded 20 silver dollars. A few days ago, he was even given a bonus of 45 silver dollars for killing 9 Japanese soldiers. Every day, he dreams about how to replace his wife.
The middle-aged man who earns living expenses has green eyes.
It turns out that the ghost's head is not the head, but the silver head. Should this be called the ghost's big head?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Brother Eighteen, how do you want me to practice? Although I am older than you, I am now your soldier. How do you want me to practice?
How to practice, as long as you can kill ghosts and earn a lot of ghosts." Luo Dahu can take his wife and children around in the flames of war and still survive, and his brain is considered flexible. Even though eighteen is much younger than him, he also takes his position
He acted very upright, showing his absolute obedience to the orders of the 20-year-old young man.
"Brother Hu, you are a new soldier, but you are not considered a newcomer to the battlefield. You have spent a month in Hengyang City and experienced what it is like to be bombarded by Japanese soldiers. However, this battlefield is not just about shelling, it is more terrifying than that.
Yes, how about we practice our courage first?" Shiba replied with a chuckle.
"You still need to practice courage?" Luo Dahu was stunned and quite disapproving.
He escaped from the war all the way from his hometown to Hengyang. After traveling for several years, he saw nothing on the road. Not to mention the various grotesque corpses left behind after the war between the two armies, he also witnessed two massacres caused by the Japanese on the common people.
, that bloody scene was really too horrible to watch. Didn’t he, who was hiding in the woods, bear it?
Not to mention that I saw some mutilated corpses on the road. It was obvious that the flesh on the thighs and arms had been cut off with sharp tools. Just thinking about the results would make a normal person go crazy.
"According to our 4th squad's practice, newcomers will be issued guns, but if an enemy's gun is captured before that, it will be recorded in the squad log." Shiba continued.
"How to seize it? The Japanese are not coming, and I don't have a gun now?" Luo Dahu didn't understand.
"If we can't get the living ones, why not the dead ones? Have you seen the deep trench in front of us?" Shiba smiled and nuzzled forward. "There are too many Japanese dead in there, and we can't even get the rifles in time."
Get it back, you can go rummaging inside at night and get a Japanese rifle and come back easily."
"That's easy to say, come and see me tonight." Luo Dahu patted his strong chest, his face full of confidence.
The confident Luo Dahu did not know that he was not the only recruit who was deceived into searching for guns in the 2,000-meter-long trench that day, there were more than 20 recruits.
Then of these 20-odd recruits, there will never be more than 5 of them who can eventually bring back a complete gun like Luo Dahu.
Because almost no one can stay in this hellish trench for more than 10 minutes.
Not only are the deep trenches strewn with all kinds of rotten maggots or the corpses of giants, nor is it that walking among such piles of corpses in the dark with a lantern makes one feel extremely frightened.
But, it was so stinky there that even if they wore long leather shoes as required and tied towels soaked in potion to their faces, the strong corpse odor could still make them dizzy.
The 1st Battalion fought fiercely here for 20 days, and at least 3,000 Japanese soldiers died in the deep trenches. Although in the early stage, because the smell was too unpleasant and he was concerned about the epidemic, Leng Feng ordered gasoline to be poured into the trenches and burned, and a considerable part was burned.
However, the Japanese army continued to pour more "materials" into it, and eventually the 1st Battalion was lying flat and ruined. There was only so much oil and it was not enough for itself. There was no more to burn the corpses, so they just let it go.
When the 3rd Battalion took over the position, Li Jiujin became more aggressive and said frankly that he didn't need to worry about it. The filthier and more disgusting the deep trench was, the better. The Japanese might even be sick to death if they jumped in. This would save bullets.
You can imagine that a person is walking in this deep trench, and wherever the light shines, there are hideous rotting corpses, the nose is filled with a strong stench, and there is a greasy and soft touch under the feet from time to time.
Moreover, the veterans who led the new recruits over the cliff to the deep trench repeatedly warned that this was a battlefield and they might run into the Japanese who came over.
His nerves were so stretched that he almost broke, and he still had to pull the corpse with his hands to look for the legendary complete rifle that was not taken away in time. Those who can persist in completing this task can be called a strong person at least in terms of psychological quality.
Luo Dahu succeeded, but when he came back he almost vomited all his bile, and he loved meat so much that he didn't eat a piece of meat for three days.
That night, he saw meat that he had never seen before in his life, right under his feet and everywhere.
"Brother Hu, this is the essence of the battlefield. Death is not everything. If we are defeated and no one restrains us, it will be like that." Shiba said extremely cruel words, but his young face was calm.
Luo Dahu and the recruits of the 3rd Battalion collectively shook their heads desperately in their hearts. No one would want such an outcome that would be disgusting for any living thing to happen to them.
If we don't want this ending, we can only defeat the Japanese.
Perhaps, that is the last trace of dignity of being a human being!
After using the simplest and most direct but extremely vivid battlefield, the 3rd Battalion taught its recruits a lesson that they will remember for a lifetime!
That is, what is a battlefield!
Death is not the final end!
The last bit of dignity is eaten away bit by bit by the swarm of maggots.
