Devil's Army

Now that prestige has been established, things will go much more smoothly.

Since spring ploughing has begun, Wei Ke scheduled the training to start at 1pm and end at 5pm. The military training lasted four hours every day.

Wei Ke used both kindness and force, and the women in the Self-Defense Forces trained much more seriously and diligently.

From 8 to 9 o'clock in the evening, Wei Ke and Wu Shuhua also planned to give a one-hour lecture on military theory to the Self-Defense Forces.

Today is the first day of theoretical knowledge class. Wei Ke didn't want everyone to feel too bored, so she told everyone about the various inhumane atrocities of the devils that they heard and saw in Fengtian, Harbin, and other major cities in our four eastern provinces.

Although the Self-Defense Forces were very angry when they heard about the atrocities committed by the Japanese, they did not feel the pain personally.

At this time, Wei Ke said to everyone: "Most of you here are women. Imagine if a Japanese wanted to insult you, what would you do?"

"I would rather die than let him insult me." An unmarried girl stood up and said.

"You're dead, so what? How can it affect the Japanese? Aren't your parents, your husband, your son and other relatives who are sad? "

"I'll kill this devil and fight him to the death." The fat woman stood up and said.

"The devil has a gun, but you don't have a gun and you can't shoot, so how can you kill him? It's almost the same as letting him kill you."

At this time, the hunter slowly stood up and whispered: "The reason why I came here is entirely because of the devils. If it weren't for my two neighbors who came to the rescue that day, my wife would have been killed by the devils..."

The hunter didn't say the rest, but everyone understood what was going on.

Then Wei Ke told everyone about the tragedy that the captain had told them about in Pingdingshan: On September 1932, 9, the Japanese invaders from Fushun machine-gunned, stabbed with bayonets, and burned more than 16 villagers from the Pingdingshan coal mine and nearby areas... and killed them all. …

Most of the people who moved to Jinkuang New Village this time were villagers from Fushun. They knew about the Pingdingshan massacre, but they didn’t know it was so tragic. Some of them were even relatives of the Pingdingshan villagers.

This conversation made the villagers of the Self-Defense Force feel that the danger was really close to them.

The next afternoon after lunch, before one o'clock, the villagers of the Self-Defense Force all rushed to the open space in front of the village to participate in military training.

They know they are training for themselves and protecting their lives and the lives of their families.

After asking Gray Wolf for instructions, Wei Ke divided the Self-Defense Force into three teams.

The hunter was appointed as the captain of the Self-Defense Force and captain of the first squad, and two carpenters were appointed as captains of the second and third squads respectively.

Wei Ke is responsible for the military training of the first team, Wu Shuhua is responsible for the military training of the second team, and Platoon Leader He is responsible for the military training of the third team.

While training, Wei Ke also improved the security and defense of the gold mine new village.

He asked the carpenters to lead the villagers to build two watchtowers behind the village of Jinkuang New Village and arranged two self-defense team members to stand guard there.

The back door of the village is locked and is usually not opened.

Two watchtowers were built in front of the village, and two self-defense team members were arranged to stand guard there. Strangers were not allowed to enter the village.

During the training, Wei Ke saw a hunter raising two rabbits he had caught. Thinking of the tribe's farm, Wei Ke asked the team members if they wanted to raise some chickens to enrich their source of meat and eggs.

Now that spring ploughing is not very hard, most hardworking Chinese women are willing to do it, not only to increase their income, but also to improve their family's food.

Wei Ke contacted the tribe's breeding farm and provided a batch of chicks to the villagers of Jinkuang New Village at a low price. He also asked the farm's breeders to come and train the villagers for two days.

After one month of training, the self-discipline and military quality of the Self-Defense Force members have been greatly improved.

Wei Ke and Wu Shuhua were going to report back to the special forces, and Platoon Leader He's platoon was also going to return to the Second Regiment. From now on, the safety of the Jinkuang New Village would be completely handed over to the Self-Defense Forces themselves.

Before leaving, Wei Ke handed over the management of the arsenal to the hunter, and told the hunter that if anything happened in the village, he could go to Wangjia Dagou Gold Mine to seek support from the troops.

Wei Ke also asked the hunters to place two secret sentries in different locations every day, so that they could fire guns to warn the villagers when there was danger.

And the hunters were told that it would be best to ensure that there was a small team patrolling with guns every day without affecting their lives, so as to avoid being in a hurry when encountering emergencies.

Most of the Self-Defense Force members are women with families, and patrolling will definitely affect their ability to take care of their families. The hunter has a headache, and he has no way to solve it.

Wei Ke thought for a moment and said to the hunter, "Let's go tomorrow. I'll tell you guys about it during the afternoon training."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Ke stood in front of the Self-Defense Force and said to everyone: "My fellow countrymen, after a month of training, I dare not say that you can defeat the Japanese, but at least you have the ability to protect yourself."

Wei Ke paused and continued, "I heard there were bandits here when I came here. Is that true?"

"Have"

"Yes, my husband was robbed of his money when he returned to Fushun."

……

"Yes, so if the bandits suddenly come, and you put down your hoes and run back to the armory to get guns to fight them, will you be able to make it in time?"

Most of the Self-Defense Force members shook their heads.

"So your village should maintain a small team patrolling with guns every day. This is not a formality, but to protect the lives of you and your family. Of course, since everyone has a family, when it is their turn to patrol, some team members will inevitably have urgent matters and cannot leave. You can exchange with members of other teams."

Everyone nodded in understanding of what Wei Ke said today.
