Chapter 15 Rebuilding the Troops
Two days later, Li Xinmin, in Zhangcun, the defense zone of the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, was doing daily training with the soldiers. A cavalry rushed out of the village and soon entered the village.
"Comrade! Where are you battalion commanders?" A soldier flew off his horse and asked Li Xinmin about it from the sentry in Zhang Village.
"Where are the battalion commanders and others training at the east end of the village!" The soldier said and pointed to the east end of the village. After hearing this, the soldier flew on his horse and ran towards the east end of the village.
At this time, Li Xinmin was conducting daily training with the soldiers, mainly physical training and sting training for the soldiers. The soldiers were neatly doing each movement with Li Xinmin.
"Is it Battalion Commander Li?" the soldier ran to Li Xinmin and asked.
"It's me! Is there anything you have to do?" The soldier immediately saluted Li Xinmin.
"Hello Battalion Commander Li! I was appointed by the head of the headquarters and notified the third battalion to go to the headquarters! The head of the city will know the specific situation after you go to the headquarters!"
"Okay! Let's hold a meeting to discuss this matter!" Li Xinmin said that, and directly summoned several subordinates to discuss together. Finally, all the work was arranged. Li Xinmin and others led their team to the headquarters. Before the suit, Li Xinmin specially led several subordinates to the 772nd Regiment to say goodbye to the comrades there. After several brothers' defense areas, they finally arrived at Wangjiayu Village, Wuxiang County, where their headquarters were located.
Seeing the soldiers carrying the stretcher and the soldiers still wrapped in gauze coming, the soldiers at the headquarters defense felt sad. They knew more or less about the situation of the Third Battalion and admired the Third Battalion in their hearts.
"You boy! You really have a trick!" The leader patted Li Xinmin on the shoulder and saw the situation in the third camp with his own eyes. The old leader and others couldn't help but sigh that the losses of the third camp this time were too great, and most of them were injured.
"Your third battalion will be resting in Zhangzhuang for the time being. It is close to the headquarters and there are brothers around you to defend. You can replenish the soldiers there and restore their injuries."
"Yes! Thank you for your concern!" Although the third battalion is not many now, Li Xinmin believes that once the wounds of these soldiers are recovered, the third battalion will still be an iron army at that time.
In the following days, Li Xinmin devoted all his work to recruiting soldiers and training soldiers. Since ancient times, there have been many heroes in Shanxi! I believe that under Li Xinmin's training, his third battalion will become an iron army.
The devil-style training in the third camp has officially begun. Li Xinmin adopts a one-on-one teaching method, with a squad as a unit, with one veteran corresponding to a new recruit. The veterans are responsible for guiding the new recruits to train. If it cannot be solved, the squad leader will be responsible for teaching. In the future, they will be the platoon leader and company commander. These veterans are quite proficient in training, so that the new recruits can integrate into the army at a fast speed, and can quickly learn from various knowledge taught by Li Xinmin.
In physical training, Li Xinmin adopted physical training similar to modern times. There were no facilities there, so Li Xinmin brought himself to build some training facilities, which could help the soldiers exercise better. Li Xinmin equipped each soldier with outfits and required the soldiers to wear these things every day, bring their weapons and ammunition required to carry, and run around the periphery of Zhangzhuang three times, each time they had to run two laps. For the previous obstacle training, Li Xinmin asked the soldiers to go to the woods to train, and train the soldiers to run in places with dense trees, so that they can train the soldiers' reaction ability and judgment.
On the fitness equipment, Li Xinmin asked the soldiers to find many stones to practice lifting these stones to practice arm strength. In addition, when training, the soldiers were asked to build many small walls next to the training ground to train the soldiers to cross obstacles. The rest were push-ups and sit-up training.
In weapon training, Li Xinmin's training became even more crazy. Every soldier was asked to lift a rifle flat, with a rope hanging on the muzzle, and train for more than an hour without moving. This training was very tormenting. In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers to train, Li Xinmin took reward measures to fighters who had exceeded the required time, and encouraged the soldiers to break through the time he was scheduled. Under Li Xinmin's arrangement, the soldiers in the third camp could slowly last for an hour from the first ten minutes, and some soldiers could even break through two hours. Li Xinmin even looked for the weight of the grenade and asked the soldiers to use stones as grenades to conduct bomb drop training. He asked the soldiers to practice bomb drops a hundred times a day, and each time they had to exceed the seventy meters required by Li Xinmin. Those with excellent grades would also receive a special reward from Li Xinmin, which is a can of canned beef from the Japanese.
In terms of skill training, Li Xinmin required every soldier to be proficient in the use of Zhongzheng rifles, Japanese 38 covers, grenade launchers and infantry cannons. This allows soldiers to change their weapons at any time during battle and better cope with the battle. In this way, the third battalion has no special machine gunners and gunners, and each soldier can use these weapons. Once a situation occurs in any link in the battle, other soldiers can supplement them in time.
In order to integrate training into actual combat, Li Xinmin took advantage of gaining experience in actual combat, assigning the soldiers three companies, and leading the team with the company commander of each company. When going out for war, veterans protected the recruits and taught them their experience. In addition, Li Xinmin also required that every company that went out to fight must be cooperated with the special forces team to act, which further ensured the safety of the recruits. Their initial focus of training was that those puppet troops who worked for the Japanese could send information from correspondents from various villages and towns.
In advance, they were ambushed at the scheduled location and waited for the puppet troops to enter the ambush site. The soldiers then conducted live-fire training. The final work was carried out by the special forces and other veterans. The soldiers had a very difficult time dealing with the puppet troops at the beginning and could easily deal with the attacks of the Japanese and exchange fire with the Japanese head-on. With the help of countless puppet troops and Japanese soldiers, the soldiers in the third camp now had certain combat capabilities and could deal with strong firepower confrontations, and had the ability to confront the Japanese head-on confrontation.
After more than three months of training, the Third Battalion has been completely transformed and its combat capability has become extremely strong. If it were time to go, the Third Battalion would surpass the previous unit. The alternative training of the Third Battalion was no longer surprising at the headquarters. When they started training, many people came here to visit their training. Now everyone is used to it. The initial training cannot be seen, so everyone is not continuing to watch. But now the Third Battalion has become neat and majestic, and the soldiers stand there with an indescribable aura and majestic momentum. Zhangzhuang and Wangjiayu, where the headquarters is located, is only two miles away. After crossing the North Mountain, it is Wangjiayu. Sometimes the heads of the headquarters will come to watch the Third Battalion training and have a very high evaluation of the Third Battalion.
