Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 299: Sword 2

Now is a special period, people's hearts are hidden, no one knows whether there are enemy spies lurking near the station. Therefore, unless it is a more formal occasion, the etiquette that can clearly distinguish the status and position in the army will not be easily and strictly implemented. Yu Xian also saluted because it was the first time they met.

"Yes!"

"Follow everyone's training first, and then I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the place after it's over." Zhang Dabiao said as he handed over a wooden stick.

Yu Xian took the wooden stick and joined the team to practice assassination with everyone. Kong Jie saw that Yu Xian quickly got into the state and exchanged a few polite words with Zhang Dabiao before returning to the regiment headquarters. He didn't know how Li Yunlong had bullied Zhao Gang now, so he had to go and persuade him quickly.

Looking at the stick in his hand, Yu Xian was a little speechless. A few years ago, the army was reorganized into the combat sequence of the National Revolutionary Army and crossed the Yellow River to participate in the War of Resistance. The army quickly gained a foothold and expanded rapidly, which made the already stretched logistics even worse.

Li Yunlong complained to Zhao Gang that when he first took office as the head of the New 1st Regiment, the regiment was seriously short of weapons and equipment, so much so that even the most powerful person would cry when seeing it. This scene was real.

The transport captain was so stingy with even the regular military pay and supplies, let alone the independent regiment, an extra-regular unit. He could only find ways to solve the pay and logistical supply problems on his own.

What are the ways to solve the current difficulties?

The answer is that there is no way. The current military situation is that the anti-Japanese armed forces are at a disadvantage. The internal reason is that the troops have expanded too quickly, resulting in the army's ideological construction and troop logistics failing to keep up, and their combat effectiveness has declined significantly compared with the past; there are partners who are eyeing them covetously on the sidelines (the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army), and these reactionaries may stab them at any time; there are powerful enemies outside (the Japanese devils).

The situation will gradually improve only after we get through this year and the army construction catches up. At that time, we can take advantage of the opportunity that Li Yunlong gave the Independent Regiment to let it run freely and adopt the waiter's approach of the Military Control Commission. After making deletions and modifications based on the conditions in northwestern Shanxi, we can implement it to solve the logistics problem.

After the training was over, Zhang Dabiao personally brought the company commander Li Bing and Yu Xian to the third platoon of the first company.

"Wang Dayong, don't you ask me for the position of platoon leader every day? Now I have brought him to you!" As soon as Zhang Dabiao met him, he called over the deputy platoon leader who was teaching the soldiers the assassination posture and introduced him.

"Assemble!" Wang Dayong glanced at Yu Xian and immediately ordered the soldiers who were resting to assemble.

In less than a minute, everyone had resumed their formation. Wang Dayong stood at attention and reported that the three rows of a company had assembled. He introduced the number of people who were supposed to be present and the actual number of people who were present, and ended the meeting by asking for instructions.

Zhang Dabiao glanced at Yu Xian, meaning that it was his turn.

"Return to the team!" Yu Xian took a few steps forward and stood opposite the third row of troops and gave orders to Wang Dayong.

Wang Dayong trotted back to his position after hearing the order. Yu Xian felt very uncomfortable looking at the young and malnourished faces in front of him.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Xian, the former deputy company commander of the first company of the first battalion. It was the company that was completely wiped out in an encounter with the Japanese more than half a month ago. The company commander, instructor and soldiers all died, but I'm lucky enough to be alive. Now I'm the platoon leader. I hope to fight the Japanese with everyone in the future."

Yu Xian thought for a long time. Having lived for several lifetimes, it's not that he can't even utter a passionate slogan, but at this moment, it would be redundant to say anything. He could only briefly introduce himself.

Zhang Dabiao walked up to Yu Xian, said some encouraging words to the soldiers of the third platoon, and then left with the company commander of the first company, leaving the place to Yu Xian and the people of the third platoon.

"Now, everyone, please introduce yourselves!"

After seeing Zhang Dabiao and his group off, Yu Xian returned to the front of the queue and continued to get to know the soldiers in the third row.

"Report, I am the deputy platoon leader of the third platoon of the first company and the squad leader of the first squad, Wang Dayong!"

"Report, I'm Zhao Shuanzi, deputy squad leader of the first squad of the third platoon of the company!"

"Report, I am Li Dazhu, a soldier from the third platoon of the company!"

"Report, I am..."

……

Everyone was standing here with a common goal, and Yu Xian had no barriers with them, and he quickly became one with everyone. At first, some soldiers thought that Yu Xian was able to survive the encounter because he was not very capable, so he was scared, and they were quite dissatisfied with him being appointed as a platoon leader.

Yu Xian did not indulge these people. He used both literary and martial virtues and dispelled these doubts in just a few days.

Apart from being absolutely loyal to the organization, Li Yunlong also had a lot of problems. However, because of these problems, the independent regiment was still barely better than other troops in terms of logistical supplies during the rest period. At the same time, everyone was holding their breath for revenge after the encounter, and the internal and external factors combined made the morale of the entire regiment high, and the training ground was filled with shouts of killing every day.

After the training was on track, Yu Xian asked Zhang Dabiao for permission to lead the team out in the name of reconnaissance to familiarize themselves with the defense area and map the surrounding terrain. Zhang Dabiao agreed.

Yu Xian led a squad to the defense zone every day. Others thought he was really scouting the terrain, but in fact Yu Xian was setting up an early warning system. When the Yamazaki Battalion appeared, the field hospital could receive the early warning signal and evacuate in time.

Why not wait on the road that must be passed? That way, we can report to our superiors as soon as the Yamazaki Battalion appears.

The background of the Yamazaki Battalion's appearance in the field hospital was the large-scale mopping-up operation organized by Ningji Okamura. At that time, all the troops had to assemble and be on standby to prepare to go to the battlefield. During the period of combat readiness, it was impossible for Yu Xian to take people away from the army.

After more than half a month of activities, Yu Xian had a complete grasp of the terrain of the defense zone. Without paper and pen, he wrote and drew on a small blackboard, then found materials and made a sand table by hand. However, the sand table was taken away by the regiment before it could even get warm.

The reason was that Li Yunlong, that bastard, had just made a fortune, but before he could even enjoy the spoils, he was robbed by the brigade commander, who only kept one third of the spoils. He was very unhappy, and then he followed suit and snatched the sand table that Yu Xian had just made.

In this world, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.

Just take it away! Fortunately, the early warning signal has been fully deployed. The reason why the headquarters is set up here is that it is far enough away from the occupied area, and people are more free to move around. They will not immediately move into the mountains to hide when the raid begins. Yu Xian has developed dozens of informants in the villages that the Yamazaki Brigade must pass through.

As long as there is a discovery of the Yamazaki Battalion, it can be reported through the designed transmission channels. As for how to discover it, Yu Xian has been a soldier all his life in the world of Knives Out, and he is also a special forces soldier. Therefore, it is easy to catch the trap that triggers the alarm. The local people know where to step and where not to step, but it is hard to say for the Japanese who are unfamiliar with the place.

"Platoon leader, how about we make another one?" Wang Dayong was speechless as he looked at the slightly empty room.

"Let's not talk about this. The sand table is much more useful in the hands of the regiment commander than in our hands. This is called making the best use of everything. At present, we continue to train and be ready to go to the battlefield at any time. I believe that through this period of outdoor activities, everyone has gradually mastered the skills of mountain warfare, and when we find the right opportunity, we will transform. Whatever the devil can do, we can do it too!"

It was impossible for Yu Xian not to be depressed after being robbed by Li Yunlong, but a higher-ranking official can crush a person, not to mention that Li Yunlong was several levels higher than him.
