Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 398 Student Soldiers

In the past, when the security corps fought, there were generally very few casualties, mainly because their weapons were relatively advanced and their fighting style was relatively brave, so there were not many casualties under normal circumstances. However, this time there were actually several thousand more people. They also had a field hospital with the army, but the number of people was not that large, and now it was simply not enough.

If it were peacetime, we could find some people from the surrounding hospitals to come and help, but now the war has been going on for two months, not to mention the hospitals in the big cities, even the barefoot doctors in the countryside have been dragged away to help.

If we acted earlier, we could still find some people to help, but the security team arrived late, so where could we find people, unless we conjured them out of thin air?

So Zhang Dashan was attracted by these students. They were passionate and had ideals. In the process of taking care of the wounded and sick in the past few days, he also observed carefully that these people did not have the bad habits seen in society. It would definitely be a great achievement if they could be brought back. Moreover, what the base needs most are these knowledgeable students. After returning, they can even help the entire Chahar region to realize that education ahead of schedule.

Zhang Dashan himself has a low level of education, and he thought it would be good to learn some culture. Unfortunately, there were no conditions back then, so he is still illiterate. Although he has learned a lot of cultural knowledge in the army, it is still not as effective as what he learned when he was a child. Now that the commander-in-chief wants to do this, of course he has to support it. Now he is illiterate, he can't let his children be illiterate in the future!

At the beginning, Zhang Dashan did not have much hope. After all, these students did not know what the situation was like in the Chahar local government. Besides, they were all people with great prospects. You know, Shanghai University is the best in the country and is on par with Beijing University. Why should they give up better conditions and go to that cold and bitter place with him?

You know that you have potential, but the problem is that others don't know. Even if they know, they won't believe it. Don't show others things like the five-year plan. Those things are all empty talk and no one will believe them.

However, this result surprised Zhang Dashan. On the first day, thirteen people signed up and stayed. Among them, seven boys were preparing to join the army and six girls signed up to be military nurses.

Zhang Dashan didn't remember anything else, but he remembered one sentence from Mao Yuanshan: knowledge is productivity, these students cannot be treated the same as ordinary soldiers, these people are all knowledgeable, even the worst ones are much better than himself.

Can other people read newspapers? Even though I am the head of a group, I have a hard time reading newspapers. I circle the words in the middle several times, and I don’t know the circled words myself, so I have to ask others.

"Captain, we are here to sign up for the army, but look at us, we don't look like soldiers at all. We live in single rooms and eat better than ordinary soldiers. Then why did you call us here? Aren't we here to carry guns and fight the Japanese? Shouldn't we be given a gun and have some military training?" Long Fangfang's cousin, Long Tianlei, is one year older than him. The brother and sister have had a good relationship since childhood and happened to be in the same school together.

No one in the family could persuade Long Fangfang because of her temper. Since she wanted to join the battlefield nurse program, the family had to agree. In the end, they had no choice but to ask her cousin to come along so that he could accompany his sister and take care of her. The people in the Long family were relatively nice. When they heard that she was going to fight against the Japanese, they didn't stop her. This was also considered as contributing to the country.

"Tianlei, stop yelling here. I let you live here and eat well for my own reasons. We can't do what you did yesterday. I bet that this is the first time you've seen that tank. How do you know that the spark plug is broken?" Long Tianlei comes from a well-off family. He has been exposed to mechanical things like cars since he was a child. Although it was the first time he had seen a tank, he knew what was wrong with it. Yesterday, he repaired two tanks with one move, and one of them was even the engine!

"Commander, I'm not here to repair tanks. I'm here to carry guns and fight the Japanese. Why don't you understand? I can't be here repairing tanks for you every day!" What Long Tianlei feared most was that the commander would ask him to do this job. Ever since he repaired the two tanks yesterday, the commander looked at him as if he had seen a new bride, and he was so scared that his whole body was throbbing.

I had originally thought about joining the army so that I could take care of my sister. What a great thing. Unfortunately, after I joined the army, my sister got her wish and became a field nurse, and I became a mechanic. If I had known that I would be repairing tanks, why would I have joined the army?

"Tianlei, your idea is problematic. You repair tanks to serve our team. Look, you have repaired those two tanks. Do you know how many Japanese soldiers they can kill in a war? I will give you a gun now and send you to the battlefield in two months. Your gun may not be able to kill a single Japanese soldier, but those two tanks can definitely kill a battalion of Japanese soldiers." Long Tianlei can be regarded as the most powerful one among this batch of student soldiers. Not only can he repair tanks, he can even make changes to things like guns. If we don't use such a guy well, our lives will be in vain.

"Captain, I know what you mean, but I always feel uncomfortable. I came here to fight the devils, but after I got here, my hands were covered with grease, and I didn't even see a devil!" Although Long Tianlei understood this, he couldn't get over it. How did he become a repairman after coming here to fight the devils? And from the looks of it, he would be doing this job for a short time.

"You are a college student, at least. Even a rough guy like me understands this principle, so why don't you understand it? I can't explain it to you." Zhang Dashan was helpless. This kid was a stubborn person. He thought that only by taking a gun to fight the Japanese could it be considered as fighting against the Japanese. Aren't other things considered as fighting against the Japanese?
