The punishment for new recruits is much lighter than that of veterans. Veterans have to carry heavy loads and cross-country and are only twenty kilometers away. New recruits only need to run ten kilometers along the Jingjiang dike. But even so, less than half of the recruits can run ten kilometers within the specified time, and after the complete run, they are basically exhausted and collapsed on the dike.

Xu Shijiu made up his mind to give these mud legs who had just joined the army a lesson that would never be forgotten for a lifetime | Of course, he would not be merciful at this time. He didn't even give these mud legs a moment of breathing, so he waved the whip and drove the mud legs off the embankment like driving the flock of sheep, and started a boring queue training.

Cohort training is always a must-training subject for recruits, and it is always the first priority.

Even though it has now entered the age of hot weapons, the two armies will no longer line up in order to volley or charge when fighting, but queue training is still indispensable because it can fundamentally change a person. It can turn workers, farmers, students or petty citizens into qualified soldiers and parts of the army's killing machine.

To put it bluntly, boring queue training can erase the soldiers' self-will to the greatest extent, but strengthen collective will to the greatest extent. Over time, soldiers will develop a habit of almost conditioned reflex. When the army acts collectively, soldiers will no longer think independently, but will only mechanically obey orders.

What is well-trained? This is well-trained.

What is discipline? This is discipline.

Discipline is not something that is said, but something that is practiced.

Of course, basic queuing training cannot be carried out in a unified manner. Five hundred new recruits can only be trained separately in platoons. Xu Shijiu asked several lieutenant-level officers from the Central Military Academy from the division headquarters. These lieutenant-level officers had just graduated from the Central Military Academy and had zero experience in leading troops, but it was more than enough to do queuing training.

In one morning, I only practiced standing attentively, resting and saluting.

Even so, there are still many new recruits who have not learned it. He will rest after he asked him to stand at attention. He will stand at attention. He will salute him but use his left hand. Several lieutenants from the Central Military Academy will not be polite. If they do the wrong movements, they will snatch the whip and slap them in the face. As a result, many new recruits will lay down directly.

I really lay down, but I didn't pretend to be dead and wanted to get away with it.

It has to be admitted that the physical fitness of the Chinese people was indeed too poor at that time. The 500 recruits from the 19th Supply Brigade were already considered one in ten, but they all had protruding cheekbones and a pale face. Once they took off their clothes, their ribs were more clearly visible. Their thighs were even thinner than those of Japanese arms.

This physical condition is a little more ruthless and you will be useless.

But Xu Shijiu could not retreat these recruits, and just retreated Feng Shengfa could not become stronger recruits, so he could only strengthen his food. As long as these recruits could fill their stomachs every day, they would become stronger within two or three months. In addition, they had to replenish oil and water, otherwise it would be difficult to withstand high-intensity queue training.

At the east gate of Sha City, old camels are purchasing vegetables at the market.

Lao Luotuo's surname is Luo. In his early years, he was a tiger general under Sun Yuanliang's tent. When Sun Yuanliang was still a small company commander in the Central Guard Division, he was already a platoon leader. However, when Lao Luotuo's knee was injured during the Northern Expedition, he was abandoned. From then on, he changed his career and became a squad leader of the cooking squad. This lasted for more than ten years, and the majestic platoon leader Luo also became an old camel.

When the army was incorporated, Lao Luotuo became the chef squad leader of the 19th Brigade.

The old camel was following two kids, each pushing a wheelbarrow cart, which was filled with cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., but the old camel was still not satisfied and turned into a pork shop. When the old camel camel came out of the butcher shop, there were already several butcher shop friends following behind him, carrying the whole pork rolled into the cart.

This scene was clearly seen by Li Shouqing, the battalion commander of the 348th Regiment, not far away.

Yesterday, the squad leader of the 3rd Battalion reported to Li Shouqing that the 19th Battalion ate meat every day, but Li Shouqing didn't believe it. Today he saw it with his own eyes. The 19th Battalion really ate meat every day. It's unreasonable. Why does the 19th Battalion have meat to eat, and other battalions can only eat steamed vegetables and steamed buns every day? The master is too partial.

Li Shouqing returned to the regiment headquarters and argued with Li Song, the leader of the 348th regiment. Li Song was furious when he heard this, so he instigated several other regiment leaders to come to the division headquarters to argue with Feng Shengfa in anger.

"Master, why do we have meat to eat every day in the 19th Brigade? We can only eat vegetables and steamed buns?"

"That's right, if you don't have such a biased attitude, we are the main team of the 58th Division."

"Master, this matter has spread. The brothers below are no longer there. What do you think you should do?"

Several commanders were angry, and Feng Shengfa became angry when he heard this. He stared at the bull's eyes and started scolding: "What are you quarrels? What are you silly kids, can you want to rebel?" After a pause, Feng Shengfa said furiously again, "You can get more than 100,000 US dollars for your master, and I will let your group eat meat every day, hum."

The commanders of the regiment were stunned in an instant. Then they remembered that if Xu Shijiu had not traveled to Hankou and cheated 500,000 US dollars from the pockets of those stupid insects, more than 18,000 brothers of the 74th Army would have drunk the northwest wind and rushed here. It would be no exaggeration for the 19th Brigade to eat big fish and meat every day. They do have this qualification.

However, the old saying goes well, don’t worry about poverty but unevenness, and the leaders of the group still can’t stand this tone.

"The division seats are both officers and soldiers of the 58th Division, so it is indeed not appropriate to make special. Over time, the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade will inevitably develop a spoiled spirit, while other troops will inevitably feel resentful, which is not conducive to unity." Chief of Staff Yang Shaoren stood up to smooth things out, which is actually fueling the fire. "Or, restrain the 19th Brigade?"

"What are you restricted? What are you going to restrain?" Feng Shengfa said coldly, "If you have the ability, you should eat meat."

As soon as the words came to the ground, several regiment commanders were shy again. Li Song said unhappily: "In terms of making money, we are not as good as Xu Shijiu, but in terms of leading troops and fighting, we may not lose to him."

The other team leaders also started to clamor and were very dissatisfied.

"Why, don't accept it?" Feng Shengfa secretly felt happy, but said coldly on the surface, "Okay, don't say that I, the commander, didn't give you a chance. Today, I will put my words here. Two months later, each main group will set up a battalion to compete with the 19th Brigade. As long as you can win the 19th Brigade, the food standards will be aligned with the 19th Brigade."

"Master, this is what you said."

"A gentleman's word is a quick horse and a whip"

"Haha, we will be able to eat this meat for 343 groups."

"They carry their heads on both shoulders, who is afraid of whom?"

When several commanders heard this, they were overjoyed and went there excitedly.

Yang Shaoren took on his worries and said, "Master, once this news spreads, the training enthusiasm of each group has been in the training level, and the training level can definitely be higher. However, the main groups have been training for more than a month, and the 19th Brigade has just been training for three days. The 19th Brigade will definitely lose. Once the 19th Brigade loses, the food standards of each group will be improved, and the expenditure will increase sharply. Although I have made a lot of money this time, I am afraid it will not last long."

Feng Shengfa touched his nose and sneered, "Have I ever said that he would compete in the queue in two months?"

Yang Shaoren was stunned when he heard this and whispered: "Master, you didn't even say that you would let the main teams..."

"I said that I asked each main group to choose a battalion to compete with the 19th Brigade, but I never said that the queue was compared." Feng Shengfa showed a sly smile on his face, and then said, "Fighting on the ring, the competition queue is only one aspect. In addition to the queue, there must be shooting, thorns, and marching with weights, and a confrontation exercise."

Yang Shaoren was dumbfounded and whispered: "Master, this seems unfair, right?"

This is indeed very unfair. There are 1,000 people in the 19th Brigade, but there are 500 veterans, with more than half of the veterans, and the veterans of other main groups account for at most 20%. In the competition, the main groups still have a chance of winning, such as shooting, stinging, marching with weights, or conducting confrontation exercises. There is no way to play, and the main groups have no chance of winning.

"Fair?" Feng Shengfa sneered, "There has never been fair in this world."

When he walked to the map, Feng Shengfa said again: "When it comes to the battlefield, will the little Japanese tell you fair? Will the little Japanese show off to you because you have few veterans and lack training? "

In the 19th Brigade recruit training camp, the new recruits were having lunch.

Today's lunch was as rich as ever. In addition to six white flour steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, each person also had half a small bowl of braised pork. Since these new recruits came to join the army, their family background was not much better. Before joining the army, they probably hadn't even tasted the meat. The three days they had eaten the best in their lives were the three days they had in their lives.

Xu Shijiu carried his hands on his back and walked through the middle of the recruit's eggs, asking loudly: "Is the meat delicious?"

"Delicious" Five Hundred Recruiters answered in unison, "The old camel is good in craftsmanship and the meat is indeed delicious."

Xu Shijiu smiled slightly and then asked, "Is that enough to eat?"

"Not enough" Five Hundred New Recruits answered in unison again.

"Do you want to eat more meat?" Xu Shijiu asked again.

"Thinking" of the five hundred new recruits was ecstatic.

"Okay, starting tomorrow, let's change the rules for eating meat." Xu Shijiu curled his smile and finally showed his hideous fangs. He continued, "From tomorrow, the training will be increased. However, if anyone completes the training subject on time, he can eat it openly. If he can't finish it, there will be no meat to eat from tomorrow."

The five hundred new recruits were immediately in an uproar and shouted: "This is not fair."
