Chapter 19: Inexplicable All-Night Stay
Luo Jialie and Feng Tiankui were both a little dumbfounded. How could they not have thought of such a simple and useful trick?
All these years of military service have been in vain!
Although I have paid attention to the best soldiers in the company in the past, I never thought about concentrating on training and improving them!
"Commander, a sharpshooter is made of bullets. If I hadn't come from a wealthy family and had a retired soldier teach me the correct shooting posture, and if I hadn't had a gun at home to shoot at will, I wouldn't be able to say I'm a good shooter. The veterans of our Guards Company 3, even those who have participated in several wars between warlords, have only fired more than a hundred bullets at most. We are poor and have no ability to support large-scale military training. If the 66th Division wants to reach the shooting training level of the Japanese army, each soldier will need to consume at least two thousand bullets every year!"
"Two thousand rounds? A year?"
"Is this necessary?"
Looking at the people present, who were staring at him in amazement, Zhou Xiaoshan sighed!
It's not difficult to convince them. It's rare to have some data. If Feng Tiankui and Luo Jialie dig deep into the matter, it's easy for them to think wrongly!
Time travel is something like this, and this is just a TV drama. Those who talk about it must be thinking themselves fools!
Zhou Xiaoshan, who couldn't believe his current situation, decided to talk nonsense!
"Back in Chengdu, I met a German who was studying military logistics and looked down on the Chinese army. He said that in Germany, after a small-scale war, the German army had an average of 150,000 bullets to kill one enemy! This does not include hand-to-hand combat. In the Central Plains War, if we don't count hand-to-hand combat and surrenders after the battle, but statistics on positions, charges, and shootouts, it takes an average of more than 500,000 bullets to kill one enemy!"
"Five hundred thousand bullets to kill one person?"
"How can it be?"
"Four hundred thousand bullets were fired into the air!"
Luo Jialie, Zheng Chunhua and Chu Tianshu were all silent, not believing it at all. Feng Tiankui was in deep thought, recalling the 66th Division's previous battles, the ratio of ammunition consumption and enemy kills!
Zhou Xiaoshan made up this data based on the fact that after the end of World War II, the US military fired an average of 150,000 bullets against the Japanese army to kill one Japanese soldier. It can't be said to be too outrageous!
The data is just for reference, and Feng Tiankui doesn't want his generals to argue about it!
"Xiaoshan, today He Guoguang invited Marshal Liu and I to a Hongmen Banquet to raid your guard camp. What do you think about this?"
"The other party is very efficient, but the intelligence is unclear. He Guoguang must be eager to find the weakness of the 66th Division, so he acted rashly without verification. First of all, we are very fortunate that there are no traitors in the guard battalion and the officers of the quartermaster and ordnance department who participated in the Longmen Formation Meeting!"
Zhou Xiaoshan blurted out the words without even thinking about it. Luo Jialie was stunned and then said something else!
"How can you praise your own people like this!"
Everyone present was very relaxed, Feng Tiankui and Luo Jialie also laughed!
What Zhou Xiaoshan said was true. If He Guoguang was too impatient, if the intelligence was accurate, he would not have come today. If he was not efficient, he would not have known about the guard camp’s night school so quickly!
Being able to make these two judgments in an instant, Feng Tiankui looked at Zhou Xiaoshan's smile and became even more friendly!
"You mean the soldiers or the lieutenants accidentally told the truth, Tianshu, do you understand what to do?"
"I understand! I will conduct a thorough investigation. Those soldiers or officers who have been out and talked to others about learning to read will be traced back to where they came from!"
"Don't make too much noise. It's better not to find out than to alert the enemy. Once you find out who it is, that's enough. Don't take any measures without my order!"
Feng Tiankui didn't dare to drive away all of Chiang's spies. If he did, the other side wouldn't be able to see him clearly, and his situation would be even more dangerous!
"Xiaoshan, I think your method of surveying the soldiers is very simple. Can you, the platoon leaders under your command, take the people from the Quartermaster Department and the Ordnance Department to the 122nd Brigade and survey all the soldiers in three days?"
"Five days at most! The result of the 200-meter target alone is not accurate. The soldiers' temporary change of guns will also affect the accuracy, and it is easy to miss good candidates. We can add the result of the 100-meter target as a reference. But now the Marshal and He Guoguang are still here!"
"Then we'll start after they leave. We'll pick out the best from the three brigades and train them individually! Xiaoshan, if these guys are handed over to you, what are you going to do?"
Commander Feng slammed the table and gave Zhou Xiaoshan a big surprise!
Zhou Xiaoshan was a little confused. Although he was destined to be an engineer in his previous life, he also dreamed of becoming a special forces soldier!
"I think it would be great if a brigade could pick out a reinforced company! For the 122nd Brigade, I suggest to the chief of staff that they be added to the guard battalion. As for the other two brigades, they are unfamiliar in Yongzhou. Can we pick out the old, weak, sick and disabled from the security regiments of the three brigades and form the Yongzhou Security Regiment?"
"Security team?"
Damn, are you going to treat the King of Soldiers like this?
Luo Jialie and Chu Tianshu suddenly felt that Zhou Xiaoshan was crazy!
Who knew that Feng Tiankui was stunned and burst into laughter!
"Okay, this is a good idea. Let's form a security group so that the veterans who have followed us for many years can have a place to rest and not be left alone in old age. Anyway, the Marshal is going to reorganize the army in the next stage and cut down the old and the young. There will be fewer veteran soldiers. I'm afraid that a few brigade commanders will be killed and they won't feel bad about it and come to me to make trouble!"
What’s even more amazing is that Feng Tiankui didn’t say that he hid a sharp blade in the security team, killing people invisibly!
Luo Jialie, Chu Tianshu and Zheng Chunhua also blinked and realized what was going on!
"Tianshu, let your deputy battalion commander take charge of the security corps. Jialie will go and explain to Xu Jiahuai in person. On paper, Xu Jiahuai will be the head of the security corps, but Zhou Xiaoshan will actually be in charge of the security corps. Zhou Xiaoshan will be promoted to deputy battalion commander of the guard battalion. On paper, he will also be the commander of the third company, but secretly he will also be in charge of the security corps!"
"Jia Lie, we can't manage so many soldiers, but Xiao Shan and Tian Shu have picked out sharpshooters from the entire division, and they must be supported with bullets. That's about a whole company. Inform Guo Liang to try to buy all of them from the black market for official rifles. Two thousand rounds of bullets a year, and that must be enough!"
"Okay!"
Feng Tiankui took over Zhou Xiaoshan’s training outline and asked carefully about the role and necessity of this kind of training one by one!
Luo Jialie, Chu Tianshu, and Zheng Chunhua were screening on the side!
Soon, a new training outline for the entire division was released. Feng Tiankui even noticed that they were eating loaches and eels. He wanted to kick Zhou Xiaoshan twice. This bastard was afraid that the guards wouldn't get any good stuff, so he covered it up and didn't let Chu Tianshu report it!
We were talking and laughing, and before we knew it, the wakeup call sounded!
They realized that it was already daybreak!
"Don't prepare any breakfast for us this morning. Let's go to the canteen of the guard camp and eat your loaches and eels! After we finish eating, Jialie and I will go pick up the Marshal!"
Zhou Xiaoshan burst out laughing. He had gone through a near-death experience overnight. Although his military rank was still captain, one or two levels lower than Zheng Chunhua and Chu Tianshu's majors, he was actually the deputy battalion commander of the guard battalion!
The master also eats loaches and eels. Isn't he afraid that others will say that he is eating food that is used to feed cats and ducks?
The top soldiers of the third company, who had just finished their morning exercises, were waiting in the cafeteria with great interest. They had all heard that the cooks from the three companies had all arrived at the third company early in the morning to cook Panlong eel and chopped pepper loach for them!
Finally, the food is served!
Chu Tianshu and Luo Jialie were both anxiously waiting for the master to pick up his chopsticks!
Who knew that Feng Tiankui only took a bite, frowned tightly, and picked up Zhou Xiaoshan who was beside him!
"You, stand still!"
He kicked Zhou Xiaoshan on the butt. Zhou Xiaoshan was caught off guard and was kicked far away, almost falling to the ground!
"Damn it! They didn't let me eat such delicious food, but instead put the black hat of the composer on me for these two lewd little songs!"
