Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 258 Supplementary Soldiers

Wang Xuexin originally thought that the supplementary soldiers this time were still guerrillas like before.

Although the quality of the guerrillas is not very good, they have a good mental outlook and strong enthusiasm. Most of them have blood feuds with the devils, and they stand firm and fight resolutely.

There is nothing to be picky about such a source of troops, what is needed is training and polishing.

However, Wang Xuexin soon realized that he was thinking too much.

The training camp where Wang Xuexin was located was the previous station of the Independence Regiment. Because the mountain was curved and narrow, it looked like a horn, so it was called "Niujiao Mountain" by the soldiers.

When the Independence Regiment moved in, they built dozens of wooden houses in this area, and now they are being used as barracks by Wang Xuexin.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Since there is no kang in the wooden house, in order to resist the cold wind, the soldiers tried their best: to fill the gaps between the logs with waste paper, rags and even weeds, so that the whole wooden house looks like It is full of patches, and it looks like a beggar who got out of a garbage dump with many things hanging on.

But even so, the soldiers were still shivering from the cold at night... The piercing cold wind was pervasive, piercing through any gap that could come in, and then took away the soldiers' body temperature bit by bit.

Wang Xuexin was lucky, he was only frozen for one night.

The feeling of being frozen is uncomfortable. I am half asleep and half awake all night. I fell asleep and was awakened by the cold. I woke up and fell asleep again. Sometimes I really want to stay awake and run a few laps to warm my body.

Su Xin came the next day. She was wearing a round-rimmed hat, a gray tunic, and a large white scarf around her neck, looking quite fashionable.

After entering the room, she put the washbasin and sack in her hand aside, and asked in a reproachful tone, "Xiao Wang, why didn't you say anything when you came?"

"Isn't there a mission here?" Wang Xuexin stomped his feet while flipping through the training records, and replied without raising his head: "It's not as free as you, Director Su!"

Su Xin made a "cut" and said, "It's only two miles from here to the arsenal, so it's not too late if you have a mission, right?"

Wang Xuexin didn't answer. In fact, his mind was full of training, and he didn't think about going to the arsenal at all.

Su Xin helped Wang Xuexin clean up the house and said: "If you don't go, I'm afraid you won't see the arsenal!"

"What?" Wang Xuexin was taken aback, then raised his head and asked, "The arsenal is going to be moved? The factory manager didn't say anything, where is it going to be moved?"

Su Xin smiled and said: "Still in Lujiagou, the factory manager may think that there is nothing to say! Have you forgotten the tunnel that you built yourself before? The chief moved the arsenal to the tunnel and cave in batches for safety reasons. Part of it has been removed now!"

Wang Xuexin said "oh", then curiously asked Su Xin who was pouring something into the washbasin: "What are you doing?"

"Charcoal!" Su Xin casually picked up the leaked ones back into the washbasin, and replied: "The factory manager asked to send it, saying that you don't have a kang here. This charcoal can be used for warming up during the day and stuffed under the bed at night. It won't be cold anymore!"

Wang Xuexin said "oh", secretly thinking that Zhang Wanhe really had intentions.

It was later discovered that Zhang Wanhe didn't know about this at all, and that Wang Xuexin had been deceived by Su Xin, and that all the charcoal was saved by Su Xin for the winter.

When he found out about this, Wang Xuexin thought heartlessly, isn't it just a pot of charcoal?It's not worth a lot of money, why do you have to turn a corner and say it was given by someone else!

But this charcoal really works. After lighting it, the temperature in the room will be much higher. When it is put aside, it will be warm, and it will be warm for sleeping at night.

Inspired by this, Wang Xuexin asked the soldiers to go up the mountain to collect firewood, and then burn charcoal to keep warm... During this period, everything was lacking, and no matter what, he had to do it himself.

On this day, Wang Xuexin was watching the training of the soldiers. From a distance, he saw a troop walking in a neat formation with rifles on their backs.

Wang Xuexin didn't pay attention at first, thinking it was a friendly army passing by, but when he saw the chief of staff beside him, he felt something was wrong.

Is this army a supplementary soldier?
Isn't it a good recruit?

How does it look like a trained army!
The chief of staff stepped forward to salute each other with Wang Xuexin, and then introduced the soldiers around him: "This is Comrade Xie Baolin, you should have met!"

"Have you seen it?" Wang Xuexin was taken aback, looking at this soldier named Xie Baolin.

This is a gentle-looking, fair-looking soldier with a bit of bookishness. He doesn't seem to be like the Eighth Route Army he's seen in the past.

Looking at the soldiers behind Xie Baolin, Wang Xuexin understood...they are puppet troops, surrendered puppet troops.

Sure enough, in the next second, Xie Baolin stood up and shouted: "Hi sir, we met in Yucun! You are on the tank, and I am the captain who surrendered to you!"

Wang Xuexin:  …

Damn, not only the puppet army, but also the puppet army captured by himself!
It's just that it was dark at that time, and this Xie Baolin was wearing a puppet army uniform, so he didn't recognize him for a while.

Seeing that Wang Xuexin's expression was not right, the chief of staff took Wang Xuexin aside and asked, "Comrade Wang Xuexin, do you have any thoughts about Comrade Xie Baolin?"

"Chief of Staff!" Wang Xuexin said, "You can just call in some guerrillas or even fellow villagers who volunteered to join the army. How can you bring puppet troops here?"

"Hey, they are not puppet troops now!" The chief of staff replied: "They were surrendered in Yucun. Didn't you lead them to fight back to the city wall to defeat the devils? They have a share of credit for taking Yucun. !"

"But the chief of staff!" Wang Xuexin said: "The situation was different then, they were trying to save their lives..."

"Comrade Wang Xuexin!" The chief of staff interrupted Wang Xuexin: "Everyone has this process. We don't pursue what happened in the past. As long as they are willing to reform, we should treat them equally and give them a chance. You are prejudiced against them. , such an attitude is wrong!"

Wang Xuexin was speechless.

Wang Xuexin understands the truth. Regardless of stubborn troops, puppet troops or bandits, the Eighth Route Army adopts an attitude of leniency and active fighting.

On the one hand, the Eighth Route Army adhered to the policy of "unifying all forces that can be united", and on the other hand, it aimed to break through the enemy's psychological defenses in order to disintegrate the enemy's morale.

Just imagine, if the Eighth Route Army can truly ignore the enemies who surrendered and surrendered, would there be many puppet and recalcitrant troops who would think when fighting the Eighth Route Army...or if they surrendered, it would be the Eighth Route Army. I can start all over again !

As a result, the morale and will to fight quickly disintegrated, the battle became easier, and the chance of winning was greater.

Therefore, although we all know that the will of the puppet army is not firm, they may surrender to the Eighth Route Army today because they are greedy for life and fear of death, and tomorrow they may surrender to the recalcitrant army or even devils because of greed for life and fear of death.

Even bandits are better than them in this regard.

Xie Baoqing and the others at least would rather die than surrender to the devils.

But even so, for the sake of strategy, you still have to choose to trust these puppet troops...

Uh, it's not the puppet army, it's comrades!
