My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 459
After finishing his training, the one-armed instructor walked aside, leaned on the railing and silently watched the soldiers train hard.

He took out the cigarettes in his pocket, and was just about to take out a match with his only remaining arm, but he searched all the pockets all over his body but couldn't find it.

"Grandma's..."

The instructor scolded him. The dilemma of having smoke but no fire made him helpless. Just when he was about to put away the cigarette, a hand suddenly reached out and hooked his shoulder, and then a familiar face appeared in front of him.

"Hey, Feng with a big beard, why aren't you on fire?"

A stocky veteran who was also wearing an instructor's uniform greeted him with a playful smile, and offered a lit match.

"Huh? Wu Fei, it turned out to be your kid."

Lao Feng lit a cigarette and took a puff, then handed one to the other party.

"I won't smoke anymore. My eyes have become a little inflamed these past two days. The military doctor said hello."

Wu Fei quickly waved his hand, only to see that the entire left half of his face was covered with criss-cross scars, the ears were bare with only a little bit of flesh left, and there was a cataract-like shadow in his left eye. loses its effect.

Not far away, the recruits who were training couldn't help shivering when they saw this look. They couldn't blame the soldiers for having thoughts, it was really scary, or the instructors who trained them didn't look so normal.

"What are you looking at? Do you have nothing to do? Do you want me to loosen your bones?"

The bell-like scolding coupled with his dignified appearance was extremely lethal, and the recruits were so frightened that they hurriedly turned their heads and squinted, not daring to take another look.

"Hey, if you don't yell at him, you won't know how good I am buddy."

Wu Fei didn't care at all, he was used to other people's strange eyes, and he had already turned his back on this aspect.

Instructor Feng sighed secretly. He and Wu Fei used to be comrades-in-arms of the same company. They were both seriously injured in a battle. Ruined, almost missed the operating table.

Those who recovered from their injuries in the field hospital were full of worries and fears about the future. They thought this life was useless, but they didn't expect that the officer not only didn't let them go, but even called them back to the army.

In fact, most of the instructors present were injured and retired veterans. Although they could not return to the battlefield due to physical reasons, the army did not give up on them and gave them a chance to shine in another field.

Liao Mingyu deliberately selected a large number of veterans with rich experience and high combat awareness to serve as instructors for recruits, so that some brothers who had nowhere to go could be accommodated, and a large number of experienced instructor candidates could be brought to the army.

Although most of the veterans are physically disabled, their spiritual will is unmatched by anyone.They have brushed shoulders with death and know how to protect themselves on the battlefield.

The rigid training can be completed as long as you are willing to spend time, but how to use tactical skills to kill the enemy and save your life, and to display your combat effectiveness on the battlefield is the key. These actual combat experiences exchanged for blood are precious, and there is no one more suitable than them Candidates for recruit instructors.

"I said, Old Feng, your second company's raw melon eggs look a bit tiger, why don't you let them go and have a look at me?" Wu Fei patted Feng Huzi's shoulder carelessly, and said proudly .

"Fuck you, what are you pretending to be? Wait until half a month later at the company ranking meeting." Feng Huzi slapped his hand off with a smile, and said eagerly.

"Hey, okay, I'll go first."

Looking at his back in the distance, Feng Huzi shook his head helplessly. Although he is an old comrade in arms, his competitive temper has not changed. This is the glorious tradition of the army, and no one will admit defeat in front of his companions.

……

Although the training is hard, the recruits are still gritting their teeth and persisting, and even most of the small soldiers are still enjoying it, because the current conditions of the 88th Army are all unattainable.

There is no difference in treatment between recruits and veterans other than military pay.In order to keep up with the huge amount of daily training, Liao Mingyu did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources on the diet of the soldiers. Three meals a day were provided on time and according to the amount.

In the morning, white porridge with pickled vegetables and steamed buns, at noon white rice, steamed buns, canned meat and vegetables, and in the evening rice, broth and biscuits, and there are extra meals from time to time, such as chocolate and fruit. Even the veterans of the former third division think that the days are getting better .

Anyway, the logistics are now fully supplied by the Allied Forces, especially the British guys are really particular about food, canned food, vegetables, food...almost everything they want, anyway, these guys have the whole of India as a logistics base, and there are tens of millions The third brother Xiao Hei acted as the logistics staff, and the tens of thousands of people in the 88th Army would not be able to eat them even if they opened their doors.

The canned luncheon meat that the British soldiers were tired of eating crookedly would not even touch, but it was the best delicacy in the mouths of recruits, not to mention the chocolates, biscuits and other things that they had never eaten before.

In ancient times, there was a saying that a good man should not be a soldier, and a good iron should not be nailed. In the long feudal era of China, being a soldier was regarded as a lowly occupation. Most people believed that they would choose to join the army only if they could not survive. , and the reason why many people join the army is just to beg for food.

In the eyes of literati, they always feel that everything is inferior, but reading is high, but the previous sentence has become a wise saying, and the soldiers who defend their homes and the country have turned into Qiu Ba with no status.

More than [-]% of all Chinese troops are farmers who just put down their hoes or strong men who were arrested for no reason.They have not undergone systematic training, but are forced to take up arms and demand to fight the enemy.

The actual situation of these soldiers is very bad. The better troops can have two meals a day, and maybe occasionally some meat for tooth and tooth sacrifices, and that kind of miscellaneous cards is like the cannon fodder in the hands of Long Wenwen in the original time and space. It's pretty good if you don't starve to death, let alone eat something meaty.

Most of the soldiers recruited from other troops were like this, including soldiers from the Sichuan Army. Most of them had never tasted meat in their entire lives. Many young soldiers even cried with joy holding the broth.

In this era, being able to barely have a meal is already happier than most people.Like Na Zenda, one day the body cleaning team will not take away a carload of unclaimed corpses, people will starve to death on the roadside, this is just a microcosm of the entire land of China.

And like now, there is meat and rice, such a day was undreamable before. The soldiers who entered the 88th Army feel extremely lucky. No matter how hard the training is, it is nothing compared to this heavenly day. What?
In addition to infantry training, armor and artillery are also actively preparing for battle.

All artillerymen will conduct live ammunition shooting after completing basic operation training to enhance their proficiency in weapons and equipment.The artillery positions are full of excitement every day, and the deafening roar of artillery can be heard several kilometers away.

The armored brigade stationed in Lashio specially opened up a training ground in the open land in the west. Every day, it conducts joint attack training of tanks and armored vehicles and coordinated training of infantry and tanks. Liao Mingyu also personally gave guidance on the spot, trying to make the troops quickly adapt to new equipment and tactics.
