Chapter 1 1937, December 16th, Morning

The new recruits undergoing training in Jurong were just beginning their day.

Yesterday, the new recruits from the first, second, and third platoons had first buried the Japanese soldiers' corpses.

Because it was close to Jurong, after burying the Japanese soldiers, there was still time. The platoon leader ordered the soldiers near Jurong to repair the roads around the area.

This road repair was not completed until dark.

The new recruits who went to Chunhua and Tangshan, which were farther away, had to return to Jurong that same night, no matter how far they went, covering a good fifty *li* in a day.

This exhausted the new recruits.

After the soldiers ate dinner in Jurong, the platoon leader gave everyone a lesson.

The platoon leader first made a request to everyone: all soldiers in the Special Operations Company must be able to read, write, send letters, and read newspapers. They had to be "four abilities" new recruits.

After making the request, the platoon leader took out a *Three Character Classic*: on the wall that was temporarily brushed with black carbon, he wrote with a lime pen: "Ren zhi chu, xing ben shan. Xing xiang jin, xi xiang yuan."

"Gou bu jiao, xing nai qian. Jiao zhi dao, gui yi zhuan."

Just these few sentences were to be memorized by everyone.

Not only did they have to memorize them, but they also had to be able to write them.

The Special Operations Company couldn't provide all the new recruits with paper and pens, but everyone could use branches as pens and a sandbox as paper to practice.

After the pleasant literacy education came the even more pleasant ideological education.

The Special Operations Company platoon leaders explained to the new recruits that officers and soldiers were equal in the Special Operations Company, and soldiers were not allowed to be beaten or verbally abused.

The Three Main Rules of Discipline: Obey orders in all actions, do not take anything from the masses, and turn in all spoils of war. The Eight Points for Attention: Speak politely, be fair in trade, return borrowed items, compensate for damaged items, do not hit or curse people, do not damage crops, do not flirt with women, and do not mistreat prisoners.

All officers and soldiers had to remember these Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention.

These new recruits, whether they were serving in the National Revolutionary Army or as puppet soldiers, were at the very bottom, and being beaten and verbally abused was their right.

Now, hearing that soldiers were not allowed to be beaten or verbally abused, they remembered that no officer had hit them since yesterday.

Now, hearing these Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention, and under the guidance of the platoon leader, they compared them to their past behavior.

Many soldiers felt uneasy.

They had picked up many bad habits such as flirting with women and taking things by force.

Now that they heard that it was forbidden in the future, they could just not do it anymore.

But what about the things they had already done?

Fortunately, the platoon leader immediately said, "We won't investigate what you didn't know before.

"What's past is not pursued!

"But it is not allowed to happen again in the future. The military discipline of the Special Operations Company is very strict.

"If you violate these rules, you will be dealt with according to military law."

As soon as the platoon leader mentioned military law, the soldiers thought of the fate of their former officers.

These soldiers finally felt relieved.

The platoon leaders continued to explain why everyone had to be literate and why these rules had to be made.

Because the Special Operations Company not only wanted to turn them into real soldiers, but also wanted everyone to read and understand, to know what is right and wrong.

Only in this way could the soldiers truly realize that the weapons they used and the food they ate every day were provided by the ordinary people.

It was the hard work of the people, paying taxes to the country, that gave the National Revolutionary Army the money to buy equipment and provide food for the soldiers.

Therefore, soldiers took up guns to defend their country and protect not only their own homes, but also everyone else's, defending not only other people's country, but also their own.

Everything was for their loved ones to live better, for their country not to be invaded. Therefore, they needed to unite, take up the guns in their hands, and fight the Japanese devils!

Listening to the platoon leader's explanation, all the new recruits felt it was novel and made a lot of sense.

An hour of class time passed quickly.

The soldiers felt that they were still not satisfied.

Jia Chengbi, the second squad leader of the first platoon, was very satisfied with the mental state of his soldiers and said with a smile, "If you want to know what happens next, listen to the next chapter.

"Now take a ten-minute break, followed by evening physical training."

In this era, there were no televisions or radios, and the class ended at eight o'clock.

There were still two and a half hours before bedtime. If they didn't find something for these soldiers to do, they would be completely out of control.

Physical training could not only exercise the soldiers, but also consume their excess energy.

This was a good thing that achieved multiple goals!

The physical training didn't end until ten o'clock.

All the soldiers hurried to wash up, and it was time to sleep at ten thirty.

Jia Chengbi also specifically said: this was just the beginning of the training, so they were not assigned to night duty.

Once the weapons were issued, double sentries, both visible and hidden, would be arranged at all times and in all places.

When running in the morning, the target for these soldiers in Jurong.

The target of the entire run was Tangshan, a total of thirty *li*.

Yesterday, these soldiers had already worked hard for a day, but the new recruits were pleasantly surprised to find that:

The Special Operations Company had said they would give them meat to eat every day.

They really had meat to eat every day, and now they not only had meat to eat every day, but every meal had meat.

Precisely because they ate well, the intensity of labor during the day was high, and the soldiers slept very well at night.

When they woke up, it was dawn. On this night, the new recruits didn't think about anything or do anything.

In the morning, all the soldiers were in high spirits, and it was another energetic day.

This morning, the soldiers obeyed orders and, led by their platoon leaders, ran together towards Tangshan, a total of six thousand three hundred people.

Shan Huacan had no problem with this level of running at all.

If he didn't have to act together with the whole class, he would have run to the front long ago.

Dan Chengfu also ran easily. Several consecutive full meals had made him more energetic.

Now that these new recruits hadn't been issued guns yet, they only carried their bedding folded into squares on their backs when running.

However, the platoon leader forced each soldier to find two bricks to carry on their backs.

He was going to check them one by one. This wasn't just the practice of one platoon leader; all the new recruits did this.

Furthermore, the platoon leader himself not only carried weapons and equipment, but also added four bricks.

This left the new recruits who still had complaints speechless.

The platoon leader also explained the doubtful glances: "Sweat more in training, bleed less in battle.

"Carrying more weight at this time, when fighting, without weight, you will run faster and farther.

"Fighting, in many cases, is a battle of physical strength with the enemy. As long as we carry more and run fast.

"If we want to fight: the Japanese devils can't run away!

"If we want to run: the Japanese devils can't catch up!

"At this time, what kind of Japanese devils can't we defeat?"

There was nothing wrong with this statement, and all the new recruits now had meat to eat every day, so they really couldn't say anything.

Some soldiers who thought they were capable even voluntarily added one or two more bricks.

Shan Huacan and Dan Chengfu, those two gluttons, carried a full six bricks.

If the platoon leader hadn't ordered them not to add any more, they would have carried even more.

As these people were running, several cars caught up from behind.

These cars were bringing them breakfast, which was the same porridge and meat buns as yesterday.

This made the soldiers very happy: after eating meat buns yesterday morning.

Everyone was wondering when they would be able to eat them again.

Some soldiers thought that yesterday was because they had just arrived, and the buns were given to reassure them.

The soldiers with this idea no longer existed.

The Special Operations Company really wanted to fatten them up so they could be more powerful when fighting the Japanese devils.

To be braver when bayonet fighting with the Japanese devils.

Eating took twenty minutes.

After eating, the army began to advance towards Tangshan again. According to the plan, they were going to run to Tangshan today and walk back on their own.

After arriving in Tangshan, there was also formation training waiting for them.

They had eaten breakfast on the way, and the platoon leaders didn't allow them to start running immediately. Everyone started walking.

Now the soldiers felt energetic, as if all the fatigue from yesterday had disappeared.

While the new recruits in Jurong were training intensely, the Ding Zimin Regiment, which had just received orders last night to join the Special Operations Company at Moling Pass.

Also began the opening of training with the Special Operations Company team.

The Special Operations Company's first platoon, first squad, and second platoon, first squad, which were originally scheduled to retreat back to Jurong today, ultimately stayed.

They needed to conduct a three-day special training for the newly joined Ding Zimin Regiment here.

During these three days, the entire defense of Moling Pass, each direction was dispatched by the Special Operations Company with a ten-man reconnaissance squad, constantly putting the alert ten kilometers away.

At the city gate, another squad of a dozen people was placed.

The remaining Special Operations Company soldiers all lived and trained together with the soldiers of Ding Zimin's regiment.

Training started this morning.

The former puppet soldiers once again saw teams of National Revolutionary Army soldiers running fully armed in Moling Pass.

Today was just an adaptation training for the officers and soldiers of Ding Zimin's regiment.

Chen Sichuan only prepared five kilometers of cross-country training.

They ran around Moling Pass twice, probably exceeding five kilometers by a lot.

When they returned to the training ground, all the soldiers couldn't rest immediately.

Bayonet training was just beginning:

First, the Special Operations Company soldiers demonstrated.

Each squad in Ding Zimin's regiment had two to three Special Operations Company soldiers as instructors.

Instructing the soldiers in the correct bayonet techniques.

The Special Operations Company soldiers were fully capable of this.

Under Lin Fan's teaching, the soldiers had completely summarized the entire bayonet training.

Furthermore, the Special Operations Company soldiers, after learning from Lin Fan, didn't know how many times they had practiced it on the battlefield.

Now, they were teaching their brother units in a one-on-three or one-on-four arrangement. The soldiers taught very enthusiastically.

Lin Fan had announced to all the soldiers last night: after the Special Operations Company received several thousand puppet soldiers.

It had once again received a regiment of troops each from the Eighty-Third Army and the Sixty-Sixth Army. These two regiments would henceforth be soldiers of the Special Operations Company.

Therefore, he requested that the first and second platoons in Moling Pass seize the time and first train Ding Zimin's regiment in bayonet techniques.

Now, the soldiers were first training in the basic movements of killing.

Before training, the Special Operations Company soldiers first had everyone draw a straight cross on the ground with the position of attention as the origin.

First explain to these soldiers:

Bayonet preparation; preparing the gun, advancing, retreating, leaping back, and turning around are preparatory actions for bayonet fighting with the enemy in combat.

Only with full preparation can one take the initiative in close combat with the Japanese devils.

Gun preparation training, commands: "Prepare the--gun," "Gun down"

Key points: when hearing "prepare the," the right hand grips the handguard, with the thumb against the right hip.

When hearing the word "gun," with the sole of the right foot as the center, the body turns halfway to the right, the center line of the right foot is on the straight line just drawn, and the left foot takes a step forward, toes pointing straight ahead.

The distance between the feet is the same as the shoulder width, and the center line of the left foot is on the same line as the right heel, which is the other line just drawn, exactly at a ninety-degree angle.

Both knees are slightly bent, and the upper body leans forward slightly.

The center of gravity is in the center of the feet, slightly forward; while stepping out with the left foot, the right hand quickly sends the gun forward slightly to the left with the pressure of the tiger's mouth and the force of the four fingers. The left hand quickly grips the handguard, the tiger's mouth facing the gun.

The right hand then moves to the rear handguard, located on the belt line at the waist, the gun facing slightly to the left, the tip of the bayonet at the same height as the throat, and in the same line as the left eye.

Both eyes are focused on the enemy.

When putting the gun down, with the sole of the right foot as the axis, the body turns halfway to the left, while retracting the left foot, and the left hand hands the gun to the right hand in a standing position.

The Special Operations Company soldiers explained and demonstrated the movements.

Ding Zimin, the regimental commander, followed Chen Sichuan to learn.

The regimental commander and deputy regimental commander personally took the field to train, and everyone in the entire regiment headquarters was learning bayonet fighting on the training ground.

None of the soldiers under him were negligent. The instructors were serious, and the students were focused.

This situation was also seen by the platoon leaders who were running with the new recruits, and they also had their new recruits use wooden sticks as rifles to join the bayonet training.

After eating breakfast, the new soldiers in Moling Pass were to advance on foot towards Lishui Pass, and then all the way to Jurong.

This was a special training subject set by the Special Operations Company for the new recruits.

After eating breakfast, six hundred new recruits set off from Moling City, heading towards Lishui.

The Ding Zimin Regiment, which remained in Moling Pass, continued to train.

The morning's training first corrected the preparatory actions: in the preparatory actions of bayonet fighting, some soldiers' gun pointing direction and height were incorrect.

The Special Operations Company soldiers demonstrated again and again, the right hand sending the gun towards the toes of the left foot.

When the left hand receives the gun, the forearm is slightly horizontal.

Seeing that some soldiers were unable to complete the foot movements and the gun movements at the same time.

So they had these soldiers stand with their feet in the gun position and practice the right hand sending and the left hand receiving the gun.

After practicing like this for half an hour, they proceeded to the next action: advancing, retreating, and leaping back.

Commands "Advance," "Retreat," "Continuous--Advance (three steps--advance)," "Continuous--Retreat (three steps retreat)," "Stop," "Leap back."

The Special Operations Company soldiers demonstrated first: they saw them under the "Advance" command.

Use the power of the right foot to push the body forward, while the left foot quickly takes a step forward (heel first), and the right foot quickly follows at the same distance.

Retreating is just the opposite, the left foot first forcefully pushes back, causing the body to move backward, while the right foot retreats one step, and the left foot quickly retreats at the same distance.

Continuous advance (retreat) performs continuous movements according to the key points of advance and retreat.

Leap back, using the force of the left foot and the elasticity of the right foot to make the body leap backward, landing in the order of left foot first and right foot after.

When advancing and retreating, the feet should not be too high off the ground, and the bayonet should not swing too much, always protecting the ready-to-stab position.

The third action: Turning around:

Key points: with the heels as the axis, turn ninety degrees to the right, while pulling the gun back with both hands, and turning the head to look back, the butt of the gun is at the same height as the belt, the left wrist is lightly touching the body, and the forearm remains horizontal.

Then, with the palm of the left foot as the axis, the body turns another ninety degrees to the right, the right foot takes a step back, while the right hand pulls the gun back and the left hand pushes, returning to the ready-to-stab position.

Lin Fan saw that the training of Ding Zimin's regiment was over here, and he was going to take Feng Junya's heavy artillery squad back to Jurong.

The training of Ding Zimin's regiment would continue until the evening of the 18th, when Chen Sichuan, Liu Laopao, and their two platoons would go to Lishui to join the main force.

Then they would head to Langxi together!

At noon, Lin Fan returned to Jurong, and Army Commander Ye Zhao was already waiting anxiously.

The two regiments he had arranged in Jurong had already set off to concentrate at Tianwang Temple.

One of the two regiments in Chunhua had also withdrawn.

If it weren't for the fact that attacking Langxi and Guangde still required the Special Operations Company, the other regiment in Chunhua would have also retreated.

This kind of thing often happened in the National Revolutionary Army sequence.

The team originally guarding the position had already left before the team taking over the position had arrived.

Handing over the position to the Japanese devils was something that had happened more than once on the Songhu battlefield.

But today, Army Commander Ye Zhao couldn't do that.

Therefore, the Sixty-Sixth Army needed the Special Operations Company as its vanguard, so he had no choice but to wait for Lin Fan to issue an order to the Fifth Platoon stationed in Chunhua to take over the position before he could withdraw his troops.

Now, he was waiting for the Special Operations Company to arrange for a team to go to Chunhua to take over the defense, and then he could bring his troops to Tianwang Temple to assemble.

Just as Lin Fan returned to Jurong, he immediately ordered the Fifth Platoon Leader, Zhen Danxiao, to fully take over the defense of Chunhua. At the same time, he ordered all platoon leaders in Chunhua, Tangshan, and Jurong to come to Jurong for a meeting.

Lin Fan conveyed the latest instructions he had received to the platoon leaders at the Jurong command post: "The organization points out that now is a good time to establish a base in these areas.

"The Jurong, Chunhua, and Tangshan line, as the forefront of the base, is very close to Nanjing. The National Revolutionary Army currently has neither the strength nor the courage to come and occupy it.

"The Japanese devils are busy pursuing the main force of the National Revolutionary Army and attacking the next big city, so they can't send out a large force to attack.

"At this time, we will develop in this area towards the southwest coast of Taihu Lake.

"We must take advantage of the current retreat of the National Revolutionary Army and develop a large base as soon as possible.

"Therefore, our defense on the Chunhua and Tangshan line will change from temporary to permanent.

"I hope that each platoon will prepare fortifications and trenches.

"All defensive structures must be built according to the standard of being able to withstand the Japanese devils' two hundred and forty millimeter large-caliber heavy artillery bombardment.

"On this point, Platoon Leader Hui Jianming of the Ninth Platoon will organize the design and acceptance.

"The construction will be the responsibility of each defending platoon."

Platoon Leader Hui Jianming stood up: "Yes!"

Lin Fan again reported the annihilation of the Japanese devil team at Moling Pass yesterday: "From the existing evidence, we drove this team back from Tangshan.

"The Japanese devils hurriedly sent a cavalry regiment from Nanjing City to rescue them, and also sent an infantry regiment that was not prepared at all to rescue them.

"All of this is because of the headquarters of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army!

"Our continuous operations these days are worthwhile."

Hearing that they had taken out the headquarters of the Japanese devils' Shanghai Expeditionary Army, all eight platoon leaders present were excited.

Xiao Dongbei said: "It's a pity it wasn't the entire Shanghai Expeditionary Army!"

He didn't even consider that the Japanese devils of the entire Shanghai Expeditionary Army had a traveling group from the Third, Sixth, Sixteenth, and Thirteenth Divisions, a full ten thousand Japanese devils.

Could this be annihilated by the Special Operations Company's more than a thousand people?

Xiao Dongbei's hatred for the Japanese devils had never diminished.

Lin Fan said with a smile: "Sooner or later, we will annihilate all these Japanese devils.

"This time won't be too long!"

Yang Daren also said: "It's a pity that the Japanese devils' Tenth Army headquarters wasn't together."

Lin Fan was speechless this time!

These platoon leaders had bigger and bigger wishes.

...

Lin Fan waited for these platoon leaders to vent their emotions. After they all stopped, he reported to all the platoon leaders:

"The Eighty-Third Army and the Sixty-Sixth Army both want to meet up with the Seventh Army Corps as soon as possible, so they need to take down Langxi and Guangde as soon as possible.

"They feel that they can't take down these two places with their own strength, so they asked us to help them get started and send them on their way."

These platoon leaders all laughed again.

Lin Fan said: "According to this situation, I also proposed that the Special Operations Company has newly compiled several thousand new soldiers.

"A large portion of the veteran soldiers has been transferred to train the new soldiers.

"The troops are seriously insufficient.

"The Eighty-Third Army assigned Ding Zimin's regiment to the Special Operations Company, and the Sixty-Sixth assigned Wu Yuan's regiment.

"Our team has increased by three thousand veteran soldiers.

"Ding Zimin's regiment is at Moling Pass. The first and second platoons, which were originally scheduled to return today, are training them at Moling Pass.

"Wu Yuan's regiment is at Tianwang Temple, and two platoons need to train them.

"I plan to arrange the third and fourth platoons to go.

"You only have three days. On the 19th at dawn, the first, second, third, and fourth platoons will take cars to Langxi together with the Eighth Platoon.

"Before this, the Eighty-Eighth Army and the Sixty-Third Army will set off from Lishui tomorrow and march to Langxi."

Xiao Dongbei asked: "They leave two days early?"

Lin Fan said with a smile: "Yes! Because they don't have cars, their marching speed can't be fast.

"And they also carry a lot of equipment, which also limits the speed of the team's march."

Jia Shusheng asked: "If we go to Tianwang Temple, the troops in Jurong will be a little empty."

Lin Fan said: "That's right! Therefore, I will give guns to all the new soldiers tomorrow morning.

"Let them train while fighting.

"The Sixth Platoon will withdraw from Tangshan and be stationed in Jurong to protect the Ninth and Eleventh Platoons.

"All the new soldiers of the Seventh and Fifth Platoons will be sent to the front line.

"The remaining new recruits will continue to train in Jurong.

"In the next new recruit training, physical fitness, bayonet fighting, and live ammunition shooting cannot be reduced.

"On the 18th, the new recruit squads of the first, second, third, and fourth platoons will hold a competition. The four squads with the best competition results will move with the team.

"On the 19th, go to Langxi to participate in the battle!"

Hui Jianming said: "Since joining the Special Operations Company, our squad has been strictly following the Special Operations Company's methods for training.

"Now the first squad's close combat ability has greatly increased, and we can protect ourselves."

Hui Jianming's Ninth Squad used to have the largest number of people, with more than three hundred, all of whom were National Revolutionary Army soldiers from the Jiangyin fortresses.

Since joining the Special Operations Company, not only did they have to operate the artillery.

Lin Fan also equipped them with rifles, machine guns, and heavy machine guns.

The usual training was the same as that of the infantry, bayonet fighting and live ammunition shooting were all essential.

It was no wonder that Platoon Leader Hui had the confidence to say this today.

Lin Fan said with a smile: "I have seen the close combat ability of the Ninth Squad.

"Heavy artillery is the king of war. You soldiers who operate heavy artillery are learning close combat skills.

"Equipping close combat weapons is not for you to fight in close combat. This is just a precaution.

"If possible, I would still like to send infantry to ensure your safety.

"The reason why I didn't equip you with infantry artillery is because your artillery can also be fired directly."

After Platoon Leader Hui understood Lin Fan's intention, he stopped talking.

From beginning to end, Ji Wudi did not speak.

She was actually used to being a small soldier, following Lin Fan.

After the meeting, Lin Fan unified his thoughts with Li Xian alone.

Li Xian said: "Now the Special Operations Company team has nearly two thousand people from the old Special Operations Company team; seven thousand four hundred newly compiled puppet soldiers;

"Plus Li Zhize's more than a hundred people; nearly three thousand newly joined regiments.

"The entire company now has a total of more than twelve thousand people, and can be compiled into a new army according to the model of the Eighty-Third Army or the Sixty-Sixth Army.

"This way, the entire team can better adapt to the development of the current situation, and at the same time allow all officers and soldiers to have a greater sense of honor."

Lin Fan thought for a moment: "In our current situation, it is indeed not suitable to not change the organization.

"It is too eye-catching to compile it into an army or a division.

"We will now compile it into a brigade, and each platoon will be changed to each regiment, and then compiled into battalions, companies, and squads.

"Taking advantage of this reorganization, we will establish the organizational branch in the company. Not only must there be a deputy company commander in the company, but there must also be an instructor. The same goes for battalions and regiments."

Li Xian was a little excited to hear that Lin Fan was taking the initiative to formally establish the organization in the team.

"I will plan carefully and make a plan.

"Strive to be able to finalize this matter when you come back from Guangde."

Lin Fan instructed: "For Ding Zimin, the regimental commander, and Wu Yuan, the regimental commander, who are defected, you must be selective in terms of ability and personality.

"After all, changing an old army team is much more difficult than breaking it up and building a new team.

"The organization of these two regiments must also be established in the company.

"Right! Are our cadres enough?"

Li Xian nodded: "Enough! I have been paying attention to cultivating and developing talents in this area during this time."

Lin Fan thought for a moment: "These cadres must not only have ideological awareness, but also have real combat power.

"After all, it is now a time of war. If you want to have a say.

"You need to have hard skills yourself. As long as you show your skills.

"Those soldiers will naturally be easier to command.

"In addition!

"We need to establish a dedicated logistics team! This must also be considered."

Li Xian obviously didn't think of this: "Do you mean to establish a logistics regiment?"

Lin Fan nodded: "Yes! Establish a logistics regiment. In the future, our territory will be larger, and the entire base's supplies will be supplied by the logistics regiment.

"Now we are from Jurong to Moling. You and Qian Youcai are also too busy, right!

"In the future, we will also have Langxi and Guangde.

"Next, I also plan to recover all of Changxing, Yixing, Wuxing, and Jintan.

"Wuhu to the west must also be recovered.

"It is definitely not enough to rely on just the two of you for such a large stall.

"A logistics regiment will be established specifically. You will be the top leader.

"Choose trustworthy people to manage. The people who deal with money and things must be the people we trust the most."

Li Xian understood: Lin Fan was not going to divide his power, but to entrust the entire base's logistics support to him.

In fact, these days, in order to ensure the logistics supply of the entire team, he was really too busy.

Qian Youcai was only responsible for the supply of weapons and ammunition, and Li Xian was so busy just ensuring the food and drink for thirty thousand people.

Li Xian had no objection to the departure of the Eighty-Third Army and the Sixty-Sixth Army.

Knowing that the Special Operations Company was going to send nine squads of soldiers to Langxi next, he had to prepare in advance.

Lin Fan was only responsible for proposing plans and issuing orders.

Before the army moves, food and fodder must go first, as well as the arrangement of those cars.

Li Xian had too many things to worry about.

Qian Youcai also received an order and came to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan asked with a smile: "How is Old Master Qian's mood these days?"

Qian Youcai said with a smile: "He is now wandering around outside every day, in very good spirits.

"It's just that Qian Jiao wants to invite you to dinner, are you going?"

Lin Fan looked at him: "Do I have time?"

Just now, Ji Wudi was at the meeting. The two met, but Lin Fan didn't say a word to her privately.

Now, hearing Qian Youcai's mention, he remembered: he had tricked her into going to the field hospital, so he couldn't deny her afterward.

Lin Fan said to Qian Youcai: "Tomorrow the Special Operations Company is preparing to give guns to all the new soldiers. You prepare in advance.

"Weapons, ammunition, and equipment are all prepared."

Qian Youcai asked: "Type 38 rifle, one hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition, four hand grenades, and one gun belt.

"What else needs to be equipped?"

Lin Fan said: "Equip each squad with ten light machine guns, five heavy machine guns, and five mortars.

"It is not busy to equip with infantry artillery for the time being.

"Cars are not equipped for the time being either."

Qian Youcai calculated: "There is enough weapon inventory! Bullets are equipped with three thousand rounds per light machine gun, seven thousand five hundred rounds per heavy machine gun, and mortars are equipped with sixty rounds per gun."

Lin Fan said with a smile: "Okay! These new soldiers have had a lot of live ammunition training recently.

"Pay attention to replenishing them.

"Go get busy!"

Qian Youcai looked at him: "How many people?"

Lin Fan immediately said: "Seven thousand four hundred people! Also, prepare ten infantry guns.

"Send five to Wu Yuan's regiment to Tianwang Temple, and say five to Ding Zimin's regiment to Moling Pass.

"Prepare one hundred rounds of ammunition per gun!

"Send them by noon tomorrow!"

Qian Youcai immediately became interested: "Have they revolted?"

Lin Fan corrected: "They were transferred from the Eighty-Third Army and the Sixty-Sixth Army to help us defend our territory."

Qian Youcai laughed: "It's Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou, borrowing it forever!"

Lin Fan also laughed: "It's a good thing, but you made it sound so insidious."

"You're not insidious, it's just a positive strategy. In the future, these two regimental commanders will definitely thank Commander Deng and Army Commander Ye for letting them off the hook today.

"Although they may be sad now. After all, they were kicked out by their old superiors of many years and sent away," Qian Youcai continued.

Lin Fan didn't know why this fat man was so sure: as someone who knew the development of history, of course he knew that Regimental Commander Ding and Regimental Commander Wu would definitely be grateful to Commander Deng and Army Commander Ye for their actions today ten years later.

But why could this fat man see through the future?

Lin Fan asked: "How are you so sure?"

Qian Youcai said: "I don't know these things, Old Master said.

"He said that he saw that the platoon leaders, squad leaders, and soldiers under your command were all walking like dragons and tigers, and everyone had the appearance of generals.

"He believes that these people will at least be a county magistrate.

"He also said that the Sheng Shicai family was really lucky, and they actually picked up a general to be their son-in-law."

Lin Fan never thought that someone could actually see the future clearly from now.

He said with a smile: "Old Master has a sharp eye, and I think so too.

"You follow the Special Operations Company, and you will also be a general in the future."

Qian Youcai laughed loudly: "I'm waiting for that day!

"At that time, you and I will be brothers, you will be a marshal, and I will be a general."

Lin Fan also laughed: "Let's work together!

"Just now we set the next development plan. We will not give up Jurong.

"The Special Operations Company will establish a base here, and we will prepare to take root here for a long time.

"Next, we may need to do some work with the people who are hiding in the mountains.

"Let them go home and produce with peace of mind.

"The Special Operations Company is also preparing to establish its own power plants, factories, farms, and production bases!

"When you have time, ask your old master if he has any good suggestions?

"Is he willing to come out and serve as the local administrative officer?"

Qian Youcai nodded first and then shook his head: "I have to work overtime tonight, so you can ask yourself!"

Lin Fan thought for a moment: "Okay! It seems impolite to ask you to ask."

Qian Youcai went to prepare supplies, and Lin Fan recalled if he had forgotten anything that he hadn't done.

He felt that almost everything had been done.

He then took Zhao Long and Wu Xiaobao and walked towards the Special Operations Company's field hospital.

Ji Wudi, who returned to the hospital, actually didn't have much to do.

A few days ago, the wounded accumulated by the Special Operations Company, the Eighty-Third Army, and the Sixty-Sixth Army were a little too many.

They were sent over in a concentrated manner, making her doctors and nurses busy for two days.

She also followed these people and was busy for two days, acting as a translator between the wounded and the doctors and nurses.

At first, those wounded people couldn't understand what the nurses were saying.
