Chapter 4 News from the Main Force "1, 2, 3, 4!" In the open space at the entrance of Duanjiaao Village, More than twenty men in brand new blue-gray military uniforms were doing tactical training with guns on their backs. There were many villagers watching nearby. Many villagers looked proud. "Look, the one standing in the middle is my eldest son. Look how energetic he is in his military uniform." "The Eighth Route Army is great. Once you're selected, you'll be given two new sets of clothes and five dollars as resettlement allowance." "Not only that, Platoon Leader Qin also sent people to buy meat everywhere. My kid said they can have meat every day. It seems that they are afraid that the sheep will not be able to keep up and will damage their bodies if they train too hard. "
"What? Just stand in the sun. Just running, is this kind of training considered hard? I don’t look as tired as harvesting wheat.” "What do you know, you bitch? This is called loving your soldiers like your own sons. You didn't see it. After this month, those who did not meet the training standards. Platoon Leader Qin didn't even allow them to go to the battlefield. I can only do some cleaning work on the battlefield." Listening to the envy and admiration of the villagers around. The new recruits standing in line under the scorching sun seemed to feel more energetic. My legs that were shaking stopped shaking. Qin Yangming was extremely strict when it came to training. He would rather his soldiers get injured on the training ground than lose their lives on the battlefield. The training program he prepared for the soldiers was what he discussed with his comrades in his previous life. This is a plan that was summarized when thinking about how the chemical army should be trained during World War II. He never thought that the training plan he just talked about for fun would actually come in handy one day. But it is also a blessing for these recruits in another way. The training program jointly developed by the team of instructor Lao A from China's strategic-level special forces is not something that everyone can enjoy. You should know that Qin Yangming’s old A is recruiting new people. They were not selected from the army.
Instead, they are selected directly from the special forces of major military regions. Anyone who is chosen to participate in the selection and training is a so-called chosen one. Old A once said: Maybe you are a piece of gold covered by dust. But here it is magnificent. Just from this sentence we can see how powerful Qin Yangming's training plan is. To help new recruits accumulate combat experience and weapons. Qin Yangming would take the new recruits to the artillery towers or the Japanese transport teams to practice every now and then. At the same time, they also taught the district squad militiamen how to use poisoning, digging traps, and laying mines to attack the Japanese. In short, as long as it could kill the devils, they would use any method. Even the methods of tunnel warfare and mine warfare were taught to the district team. The district teams that have learned it will then teach the other district teams that have not learned it. And because Qin Yangming would go looking for trouble with the Japanese whenever he had time. The Japanese in the county town also noticed this small group of the Eighth Route Army and sent troops to encircle and suppress them. But since there were too many people sent, Qin Yangming took his soldiers and hid in the mountains. Or they could take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to launch surprise attacks on strongholds or artillery towers that were left unguarded due to the withdrawal of troops. If the number of people sent is too small, just take the district squad and the county brigade together to eliminate the enemy. The Japanese soldiers were so defeated that they dared not leave the county town or the stronghold. As for those small artillery towers, they were directly taken down by Qin Yangming. Although he is only the strongest assaulter, it does not mean that his shooting skills are bad. With an ordinary Type 38 rifle, he can hit whatever he points at within 500 meters. What's more, he had a Mauser 98K sniper rifle in his hand. Relying on Qin Yangming's powerful marksmanship. The machine guns in the Japanese artillery tower couldn't be fired at all. As soon as the enemy shows up, they are dead, unless it is a stronghold guarded by twenty or thirty Japanese devils. Only by having a sufficient number of heavy machine guns and the high quality of the soldiers could Qin Yangming be suppressed. Just as Qin Yangming and Sun Zhigang were discussing behind the ancestral hall whether they should play a big game. When attacking the stronghold, Captain Luo hurriedly opened the door and entered the room. Looking at the impetuous Captain Luo, Qin Yangming and the others subconsciously thought that something had happened. He quickly pulled out his pistol and said, "Lao Luo, what happened? Are the Japanese coming to surround us?"
Listening to Qin Yangming's question, Captain Luo shook his head and spoke slowly. "It's not that the Japanese are coming to encircle us. It's that we have received news about the main force." "News about the main force?" “Yes, the news from the main force is from a messenger sent by the regiment. We have already reached the next village, and we are estimated to be at Duanjiaao soon. Platoon Leader Qin, do you want to get ready?" Sun Zhigang guessed after listening to what Captain Luo said. “Platoon leader, it looks like the regiment has settled down. Now they are here to inform us that the wounded soldiers can return to their bases." Qin Yangming nodded. "Well, it's been almost two months. It's time to go back to work." Qin Yangming was mentally prepared for returning to his base. After all, he had contacted more than thirty wounded soldiers in several nearby villages. About twenty of them were able to participate in the battle and were true veterans. The Eighth Route Army, which had experienced the great mopping-up campaign, was now short of veterans, so it was naturally impossible to allow these veterans to develop locally. What's more, among these more than 30 people, there are two veterans who, like Qin Yangming, have truly experienced the test of blood and fire during the Long March. "Platoon Leader Qin, why don't you say hello to the higher-ups? You can stay with your people. I told the captain that if you choose to stay, The county brigade will directly assign you as the captain. He can be a soldier.” Listening to what Qin Yangming and Sun Zhigang said. Captain Luo was also a little panicked. The reason is simple: it is just so comfortable to follow them to fight the Japanese. Every time you go out with Qin Yangming, you can destroy at least one transport team. Not only were their own casualties low, but the spoils were also huge. Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that their district team is closest to Qin Yangming. The fifteen people in their district squad have all been equipped with the Japanese's Type 38 rifles. Each person even had more than fifty bullets in his body. You have to know that a month ago their district team only had one pistol and two homemade rifles. In addition, other district teams also obtained some Hanyang-made rifles to a greater or lesser extent. The county brigade was even equipped with two of the Japanese Type 99 light machine guns.
There are also two grenade launchers, which are equipment only available to the main force. The reason why they had so many good equipment was entirely because of Qin Yangming. In addition to equipment, the most important thing is that the Japanese devils and traitors in the towns and villages will no longer dare to bully the common people at will. Because all the guys who bullied the common people had their heads blown up by Qin Yangming! At this moment, Qin Yangming and others are about to return to the team. Captain Luo and others were naturally unwilling to do so. "Captain Luo, we have other tasks. We can't limit our focus here. There are still many people across the country waiting to be rescued. Now the strength of your district team and county brigade is not weak. The ordinary small Japanese troops can't do anything to you." "Just remember what I said: When the enemy is strong, I hide; when the enemy is weak, I attack; When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy is tired, I harass. Make good use of what I taught you. There is no need to be so afraid of the devils. You have seen it. The little devil will die if I shoot him, so you have to believe in yourself." “And our troops are growing. The burden on the villagers is too great. If they stay any longer, the people will not be able to bear it." Qin Yangming listened to Captain Luo's words and persuaded him with a smile. How could he not know what Captain Luo was thinking? But this place is too small, and the eight nearby villages are basically at capacity to support their army of more than 80 people. If you want to expand your troops, you can only attack the towns occupied by the Japanese. However, Qin Yangming was not sure he could hold the town after taking it. The combined strength of all the nearby district squads and county brigades was no more than two hundred men. There were already two hundred Japanese devils in the county town, not to mention the more than one thousand puppet troops. If we really attack the town, the Japanese will definitely send a large force to fight. At that time, Qin Yangming and others can just walk away. But the common people who stayed where they were were in dire straits. Listening to what Qin Yangming said, Captain Luo also fell silent. Yes, if Qin Yangming and others continue to stay, they will definitely continue to recruit soldiers.
However, those who were slightly better off and suitable for recruitment in several nearby villages basically joined the county brigade or served under Qin Yangming. Moreover, in Duanjiaao, where Qin Yangming's platoon is stationed, it can be said that almost all the villagers are serving the troops. It has seriously affected the daily lives of the villagers. It is only because they are the Eighth Route Army that the villagers are willing to bear this hardship. But being willing to bear does not mean being able to bear it. Qin Yangming couldn't just let the villagers bear all this as a matter of course. (End of this chapter)
