Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

The second platoon now trains physical fitness in the morning and shooting in the afternoon.

The entire second row was immersed in intensive training.

During the past half month, Zhang Laoer and his men had been at odds with the original second platoon members.

Although everyone said that they were all in the same camp now, Zhang Laoer and the others understood that their previous identities were not glorious.

If you want to fit in with the group, you also need to be accepted by everyone.

What to do? We have to work harder and work harder than the original second row.

Everyone was angry. The people in the former second row were afraid that this group of former puppet soldiers would surpass them.

However, Zhang Laoer and his companions were worried that the people in the original second row would dislike and look down on them.

In this atmosphere, the combat effectiveness of the second platoon increased rapidly.

There can be no progress without competition. Lin Tian saw all these things, but he didn't say anything and was happy with it.

And during this half month, everyone got used to life in this mountain valley and kept the area around the temporary residence in order.

The small path leading to the mountain was turned into a road by everyone and paved with cement.

The dilapidated cave dwellings halfway up the mountain were renovated and used as residences for everyone.

The back of the mountain has been developed into a vegetable garden, and more than ten acres of land have been cleared, waiting for next spring to plant crops.

Lin Tian watched as everyone made the mountain valley look brand new, and decided to turn this temporary base into a permanent one.

He withdrew 5000 yuan from the system space and gave it to Zhang Laoer, asking him to go down the mountain to purchase a batch of building materials.

Lin Tian planned to open up the top of the mountain and build a few houses as everyone's real residence in the future.

Zhang Laoer was originally a carpenter, so Lin Tian trusted him more.

Zhang Laoer, who received the money, was extremely grateful for Lin Tian's trust, and immediately took two people down the mountain.

Five days later, Zhang Laoer lived up to everyone's expectations and brought back dozens of trucks of construction materials.

At this time, after five days of repair by more than one hundred people in the second row, there is now a lot of open space on the top of the mountain, where many houses and warehouses can be built. This will provide a place to store future spoils and system rewards.

In the past few days, everyone temporarily put aside physical training and instead took turns working in three platoons, and then took turns conducting shooting training.

But Lin Tian stopped everyone's behavior in time. No matter what, physical training cannot be neglected.

Because strong physical fitness can sometimes be the key factor in determining victory or defeat in a battle.

Especially since the enemies are all motorized infantry, while we can only rely on our two legs.

It is often necessary to ensure that combat effectiveness can be maintained after long-distance loaded marches.

Lin Tian clearly remembered that a group of his ancestors used their legs to outrun the American cars, creating a world military miracle and determining the outcome of the battle.

But if all the soldiers go to training, there will be no one to repair the base.

That day Lin Tian sat in the sun, thinking about these questions.

Fang Zheng looked at Lin Tian's thoughtful expression and knew why Lin Tian was worried.

He ran to Lin Tian and said, "Platoon Leader, are you thinking about building a base?"

Lin Tian looked up at Fang Zheng and smiled: "Boy, could it be the worm in my stomach? You know all this."

Fang Zheng chuckled and said, "Platoon leader, we have been thinking of many solutions these days because of the training and the construction of the base."

"If we train in rotation, it will not only delay the progress of the project, but also delay the training of the soldiers."

"We train during the day and work at night. Once it gets dark, we can't see anything and the work we do is crooked. It's so funny when we look at it the next morning."

"But, Platoon Leader, I have a good idea for you."

Hearing this, Lin Tian looked at Fang Zheng and asked, "What good idea did you come up with? Tell me about it."

Fang Zheng rubbed his fingers together, raised his eyebrows and said, "Platoon Leader, we don't have time to repair it. We can find someone to do it. It just depends on whether you are willing to spend the money."

"Oh?" Lin Tian's brows relaxed when he heard that and he laughed.

"Oh, this is really a wake-up call."

"Then you can take a few people with you and go to the nearby villages to recruit workers. Each person will get 5 yuan per month."

Lin Tian took the money and gave it to Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng weighed it and found that it weighed at least more than a thousand dollars.

It’s not that Lin Tian is stingy, it’s just 5 yuan a month, which is a very high wage nowadays.

One dollar can buy at least 20 kilograms of rice, enough for an ordinary family's food for several months.

Lin Tian also wanted to earn one dollar a day, and he also wanted the common people to benefit and live a good life.

But he was also worried that the wages were too high and would attract some people's attention. After all, he was working for the Eighth Route Army. If the Japanese or puppet troops found out, it would inevitably lead to a massacre, and it would be too late to regret then.

It seems that if we want the people to live a comfortable and good life, we must first drive the easy life out of China. In that way, the people across the country can live a stable life.

The next morning, Fang Zheng and his men went up the mountain with more than twenty young men and seven or eight veterans.

When everyone heard that a base was being built for their own team, they were all very enthusiastic and refused to take any wages.

However, Fang Zheng said that if they didn't want wages, they would not be allowed to work for the Eighth Route Army. It took much persuasion to convince everyone.

After hearing this, Lin Tian couldn't help but sigh.

“What good people we have.”

Lin Tian instructed the kitchen staff to ensure that every meal for the villagers during the next few days must include meat.

The meat seized last time has been almost eaten up. After all, the fighting capacity of these more than one hundred people cannot be underestimated.

Lin Tian secretly vowed to ensure that the soldiers had meat for every meal.

……

"call!"

"what!"

The old masters worked very hard with the young people, and they laid all the foundations in just two days.

In the evening, Lin Tianqiang kept these fellow villagers for dinner before letting them go home.

The next morning, the villagers had breakfast early and went up the mountain as soon as it was light.

Lin Tianzheng led the second row of soldiers in exercise.

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

"Four!"

"One two one!"

The sound of footsteps and slogans shouted by each row was deafening, and the momentum was extraordinary.

"Standing!"

Seeing that the villagers had come to work early, Lin Tian asked the soldiers to stop by the roadside.

"Salute -- to -- my fellow countryman!"

"Wow..."

“Thank you for your hard work, fellow villagers!”

The uniform movements and slogans made the fellow villagers' eyes moist.

“What a spirit!”

"Okay, I see the future of China in you."

A fellow villager spoke up.

"With you here, the Japanese will definitely be driven out of China."

Another fellow villager said.

"Commander, my son Erniu is already eighteen years old this year. Is your team still recruiting? I must let my son Erniu follow you to fight the Japanese."

An old master took Lin Tian's hand and said.

"Yes, as long as you are over 16 years old, we can accept you."

Lin Tian was delighted when he heard this.

"Yes, how could I have overlooked the power of the people?"

"There are still so many weapons and equipment in the system space, and we also seized a lot during this raid on Wanjia Town."

"I was just wondering how to recruit soldiers and horses, and the answer is right in front of me."
