Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

In the afternoon, when several fat pigs were carried back to the village, the whole team was excited and started to help, clamoring for help.

Zhou Qianli went to invite the village chief in person. When the village chief heard this, his eyes instantly became moist.

Nowadays, it would be great if soldiers didn't rob them. But this time, the soldiers actually treated them to meat, and they couldn't help but thank them repeatedly.

Zhou Qianli said humbly, "Village Chief Jiang, please don't be polite. I'd like to ask the villagers to get some tables and chairs out so that we can have a good meal together."

Village Chief Jiang patted his chest and said, "Commander Zhou, I promise to complete the task."

Zhou Qianli was immediately amused. This old man was quite interesting.

As night falls, the whole village is filled with fragrance.

The villagers started helping in the afternoon. The tables, chairs and benches had already been prepared, just waiting for this meal!

In the village, children were running around happily, and everyone burst into laughter when they occasionally fell down. The whole atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Finally, the pig-killing meal began. Pots of boiling meat, big bones, and pig offal were distributed to everyone while steaming hot.

The children took the bones that were bigger than their fists and chewed them happily. The villagers had not eaten meat for a long time, so they ate them voraciously.

Of course, the soldiers were no less enthusiastic. They didn't care whether it was hot or not and just stuffed it into their mouths.

From time to time, someone would scream from the burns, which would instantly cause a burst of laughter.

The simple and plain pig-killing meal was very heartwarming. The soldiers were happy and the people were happy too.

Looking at the joyful scene, Gu Changfeng's mind became active and he started drinking at each table.

Everyone admired him as a battlefield expert. When they saw him coming, they were happy to joke with Gu Changfeng, and some even said they wanted to teach them how to shoot.

Gu Changfeng agreed to all of their requests. After the whole game, he ran to Zhou Qianli's table and started sitting down to eat.

"Are you not drunk?" Zhou Qianli asked with a smile.

Gu Changfeng patted his belly and said, "It's okay to go one more round."

Huang Zhengkui laughed and said, "Changfeng, I didn't expect you to be so good at drinking!"

Liu Dazhuang said: "Changfeng will have many more!"

Gu Changfeng said, "Stop praising me. If you continue praising me, I will be drunk tonight."

"Haha!" In an instant, everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Gu Changfeng ignored them, sat down and started eating. While eating, he remembered something and asked.

"By the way, where's that lieutenant colonel? He won't get away, will he?"

He suddenly remembered this man. Such a high-ranking official dared to escape on the battlefield. If time had not been urgent, he would have really killed this man.

"You are talking about that person, he is still in prison!" Lu Daya replied.

"This major's name is Liu Dabao. His family is quite wealthy and he's quite an interesting person."

"How to say?"

"This guy is afraid we'll shoot him, so he keeps begging for mercy and even says he'll give us a lot of money!"

Lu Daya felt happy just thinking about it.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng put down his chopsticks and asked, "Where is this Liu Dabao from?"

Lu Daya recalled and said, "It seems that they are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, just like you. I didn't ask where exactly!"

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "Let's take him with us first. Maybe he can be of some use."

Anyway, it doesn’t matter if there are more mouths to feed. Since there is money at home, there is something to discuss. It’s just a waste recycling!

Zhou Qianli said, "By the way, Changfeng, we need to discuss the position of Captain Zhao."

Zhao Ziqing waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Since we all came together to discuss this, what does it matter if we have a position or not?"

Gu Changfeng replied: "I think so. We are short of personnel now. You two are both battalion commanders anyway. We can talk about it later when more people come in."

Huang Zhengkui said: "I will listen to Changfeng. After all, we are all brothers. It doesn't matter whether we are officials or not."

Zhou Qianli thought about it and agreed, so he didn't say anything else.

Gu Changfeng actually had some ideas in his mind, but the current situation was not suitable for bringing them up.

Their current structure is definitely not reasonable, but this is the only way for now.

.........

Early morning on the 26th.

Gu Changfeng set off with the team. He chose the mountains and forests for this training.

Of course, it’s the same place we came out from before.

"Changfeng, what are the subjects of this training?" Zhao Ziqing asked.

Gu Changfeng sorted out his words and said, "Swimming, rock climbing, fighting, setting booby traps, blasting, shooting, camouflage and lurking, special warfare sign language, special warfare coordination."

"Plus physical training includes weighted cross-country running, push-ups, burpees, and sit-ups."

He was actually a little helpless about Zhao Ziqing. Instead of being the battalion commander, he insisted on coming here to be a soldier.

However, Gu Changfeng reluctantly agreed because he considered that this guy could speak Japanese.

Zhao Ziqing was stunned. He had never heard of many of these projects. Was he sure this was for training?

"If conditions permit, you should also learn Japanese, which will be helpful for fighting behind enemy lines." Gu Changfeng added.

Zhao Ziqing didn't want to talk. He felt like he had fallen into a big pit and wanted to go back...

Liu Dazhuang was very excited about his helplessness. He missed the days in the recruit camp. Those days were so fulfilling. The feeling of working himself to death every day was so exciting.

In fact, it was impossible for Gu Changfeng to teach Zhao Ziqing in just a few days. He was just trying to scare him.

Of course, I will teach them when I have time, but not now.

Take advantage of this period of time to lay a solid foundation so that you can prepare for the next battle.

The group of thirty-three people walked for more than two hours and returned to the mountains.

The training officially begins.

After quickly setting up the camp, Gu Changfeng led everyone to start a ten-kilometer mountain cross-country training with weights.

Then comes 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 burpees.

After that, there was a one-hour live-fire training, with pistols, sniper rifles, and Type 38 rifles being used in turn.

There were only two Barrett swords, so everyone took turns playing.

Soon, everyone became addicted to the thrill of sniping. The Barrett, with an effective range of more than a thousand meters, made everyone feel great.

The accuracy is still lacking. It's amazing if you can hit one or two out of ten shots. But everyone still enjoys practicing it and hopes to use it on the battlefield in the future.

Xiaowu had no interest in sniper rifles, so after the training, he started practicing coordination with the machine gunner.

The next day, Gu Changfeng brought out the three-three system.

Gu Changfeng said: "The so-called three-three system means that three people form a combat team, and three combat teams form an infantry squad."

"We will conduct both offense and defense in a triangle formation, with clear division of labor among team members. One person will be responsible for offense, while the other two will be responsible for cover and fire support."

Zhao Ziqing's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was not an ignorant person, so he immediately understood the essence of it and said with a smile.

"Changfeng, your method is good. It will be much easier to deal with the devils in the future."

Gu Changfeng shook his head and said, "No matter how good the method is, it will be useless if you don't have good marksmanship. You still need to practice more!"

Zhao Ziqing nodded in agreement.

"Old Zhao, I may have to go out for a while. You will be responsible for the next training." Gu Changfeng said.

Zhao Ziqing paused and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Changfeng replied: "I'm going to Shanghai to deal with an urgent matter."

Zhao Ziqing said in embarrassment: "But this training..."

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "Do you really think you can learn anything from just a few days of training? It's nothing more than laying a foundation. Everything else has to be tested on the battlefield."

"Today I will teach you booby traps, blasting, special warfare sign language, and other subjects. I will leave early tomorrow morning."

Zhao Ziqing could only helplessly say: "Alright then!"
