Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 664 Devil Instructor Qian Xiaobao

Erya kept sending Qian Xiaobao out of the village.

Qian Xiaobao took out another handkerchief bag and handed it to Erya: "There are ten oceans in it, use it when you encounter difficulties."

"I have saved more than 1000 of the money you gave me over the years, and I can't spend it all." Erya said.She belongs to the people who don't spend money when they have money, and live frugally and save money.

"What are you saving those bills for? Someday it will become waste paper! These Yuan Datou is for you and your child's life-saving, so you must hide it well." Qian Xiaobao instructed.

There are some things that you can't say to Erya, even if you say it, Erya can't understand, Qian Xiaobao now feels that the distance between him and Erya is getting farther and farther.

Erya stood at the entrance of the village and watched Qian Xiaobao walk across the ice of the Muling River towards Bamiantong.

The newly formed 120th Sixth Division belongs to the Third Army of the First Front Army of the Kwantung Army. According to the plan of the Kwantung Army Command, when a war breaks out, the main force of the Front Army and the border defense forces will fight fiercely, and the main force will block it near Muling Town. The army of the northern powers advancing westward retreated to the front line of Tokyo City, Hengdaohezi, Mudanjiang to continue to block the enemy when they had to, and finally retreated to the mountains of Dunhua Antu to continue fighting according to the situation.

The 120th Sixth Division was formed on the basis of the Kwantung Army's No.12 border garrison, and three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment were to be formed. A division of 1 people is more than half the number of elite divisions, and if you compare the firepower of weapons, it may be less than a quarter of that of elite divisions.

More than half of the more than 1 soldiers are newly recruited.

Qian Xiaobao reported to the division chief of staff Masaji Tanaka, and he was assigned to the 270th Ninth Regiment to be responsible for the training of 150 recruits.

Qian Xiaobao was dumbfounded when he stood in front of the 150 people lined up in front of him.

Among these people, the youngest is 50 or [-] years old and has a child, and the old one with over [-] eyes is completely an old man.

Among the 150 people, it is rare to see people in their twenties to thirties. Such people have been recruited when the division was formed in 30 and [-].And quite a few of them have died in Saipan, Guam, Myanmar and the Philippines.

"Stand at attention, all! Go towards Sifangtai!" Qian Xiaobao shouted loudly in Japanese.

150 soldiers with luggage and worn-out [-] rifles rushed southeast.

Qian Xiaobao is more than 1.7 meters tall, and he stands out from the crowd in this team. Many of these people are not even 1.5 meters tall.

Especially carrying the [-] rifle with a bayonet like a spear on his back, he felt the shortness of these people even more.

The reason for advancing to Sifangtai is because the chief of staff of the division, Tanaka Shoji, specially confessed that he must now go all out for mountain warfare training.

Sifangtai is very close to Bamiantong, where newly recruited soldiers are trained in mountain warfare.

Soldiers passed by Qian Xiaobao one by one, Qian Xiaobao was surprised to see a familiar face - Geng Shiro!

It's just that Geng Shiro, who sells tofu, changed into a new military uniform today.When he was buying tofu yesterday, Qian Xiaobao was standing in the room, Geng Shiro didn't see Qian Xiaobao.

Qian Xiaobao hurriedly took out the roster to check, and he found the name of Iwasaki Koshiro on it.

Qian Xiaobao followed closely behind more than 100 people and marched towards Sifangtai Mountain.

It is less than ten kilometers from Bamiantong to Sifangtai Mountain, but halfway through, some people who are too old and too young can no longer walk.

This includes Geng Shiro, who is in his 50s.

"Quicken your pace and stay in line!" Qian Xiaobao roared.

Can such a team fight?
But Qian Xiaobao doesn't care about these, he only wants to complete the tasks assigned to him by the Kwantung Army.

By the time they crossed the Liangzi River and arrived at the foot of Sifangtai Mountain City, more than half of the team had already collapsed from exhaustion.

While beating these soldiers with wooden sticks, Qian Xiaobao urged: "Everyone digs a bunker and sets up a machine gun position!"

A total of 150 people brought out two Taisho [-]-type light machine guns, which were far from enough for normal firepower, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters like the [-]-type heavy machine guns were still being deployed.

While yelling at Qian Xiaobao, he instructed the soldiers to dig the bunker.It took two or three hours to set up a skirmish line at the foot of Sifangtai Mountain City.

"Rest in place!" Qian Xiaobao shouted.

A group of children and people in their 50s and [-]s immediately lay on the ground panting after hearing Qian Xiaobao's order.

Qian Xiaobao walked up to Geng Shiro and knelt down and asked, "Iwasaki Geng Shiro, I heard that you sell tofu at Bamiantong?"

Iwasaki Koshiro hurriedly got up and stood at attention and replied, "Yes, sir!"

"How do you sell tofu after you've been drafted into the army?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Report sir, you can sell it when you go back at night." Iwasaki Koshiro replied.

"Ba Ga!" Qian Xiaobao scolded.

"You are a soldier of the Japanese Empire now, how can you sell tofu on the street? If you run out of the barracks again without authorization, I will punish you!" Qian Xiaobao said back.

"Sir, I need to send money to my mother in Japan, or she will starve to death." Koshiro said.

Qian Xiaobao looked at Geng Silang's military rank, he was only a private first class, and he only had nine yuan a month.This amount of money can only buy three catties of pork at the current market price.As a lieutenant, I have more than 90 yen a month, which is ten times more than him. This is not counting the more than 200 yen a month for the Golden Morante Medal.

"Nonsense! The Great Japanese Empire will not let a soldier's mother starve to death!" Qian Xiaobao said.

After saying this, Qian Xiaobao turned and walked towards a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child.These children recruited from the Pioneering Group have all received military training in the Pioneering Group, and because they are young, they believe in the imperial thought instilled in them by the Great Japanese Empire, and are more willing to dedicate themselves to the Great Japanese Empire.

Strap dynamite packs on these kids and they will rush up without hesitation!

"Chi Gu, dig the bunker a little deeper, stand the rifle in the bunker and measure it carefully!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"Hi!" The child named Ikeda straightened his back and replied.

To fight wars, we must rely on these children. When fighting at an old age like Geng Shiro, they are more naughty and fearful of death.

Lieutenant General Nogou Takehiko, head of the 120th Sixth Division, led his men to Sifangtai Mountain for inspection.In this area, two or three thousand soldiers are trained for mountain warfare.

He came to the exercise position in charge of Qian Xiaobao and was very satisfied after careful inspection.

"Sir, there are no heavy machine guns, light machine guns and grenade launchers. The soldiers have no way to train in this area." Qian Xiaobao said at attention.

Nogou Takehiko had a gloomy expression on his face. Even with these weapons and equipment, due to the lack of ammunition, he could not conduct shooting and grenade training at will.

"According to the actual situation, we need to conduct more explosive assault training!" Nogou Takehiko said.

What he meant was that more sacrifice charge training should be carried out for soldiers carrying explosive packs.

Qian Xiaobao stood at attention and replied, "Hi!"
