I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 38 An Idea

At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Liu Gen called out the soldiers. During the previous week's training, the soldiers did not conduct physical training.

Loading and shooting shells is very tiring, and it can also play a role in physical training, but in the future, soldiers will no longer be so relaxed, and physical training is still quite necessary.Whether it is the transfer of infantry artillery or the handling of artillery shells, the soldiers need to have sufficient physical fitness.

Besides, did Liu Gen know the stock of shells in the new regiment? Once the shells were exhausted and could not be replenished, the soldiers of the artillery company should also go to the front to fight.When it's not an emergency, the soldiers of the artillery company won't come easily, but the devil's combat effectiveness is so strong, it's better to prepare early.Liu Gen didn't want the artillery company to only be able to fire artillery, but not to fight the devils head-on.

If there were enough shells, then Liu Gen wouldn't care too much about this. Unfortunately, the situation faced by the Eighth Route Army is more serious. Not to mention devils, even the national army will suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army to prevent the Eighth Route Army from growing stronger.Not to mention, after the War of Resistance Against Japan entered a stalemate, the national army made many small moves.

Physical training is relatively simple, running five kilometers, five hundred push-ups, which is not too much.In later generations, the training of ordinary soldiers is like this, and the training volume of some special troops is much larger.

However, Liu Gen overlooked one thing, that is, the physical fitness of the soldiers cannot be compared with that of later generations. Soldiers of the artillery company.After the five-kilometer cross-country run, Liu Gen could see many soldiers collapsed to the ground, unable to continue training.

Liu Gen could see that the soldiers didn't want to be lazy, it was because their bodies couldn't support them to continue training.After a week of training, Liu Gen somewhat overestimated the physical fitness of the soldiers. Now seeing this happening, he deeply realized his own shortcomings. He should not use the standards of later generations to demand the soldiers of the artillery company.

For the soldiers of the artillery company to have a strong battle, it is undoubtedly necessary to supplement the consumption of the soldiers with a lot of nutrition. The meals eaten on weekdays cannot replenish the soldiers, and the nutrition in them is too little.Liu Gen had a headache. He opened his personal panel and wanted to find a solution from the system, but the system didn't have any mall, and it was impossible to buy any supplies.

After thinking about it for a moment, Liu Gen thought of the mass production movement that would appear two years later. Such a mass production movement would greatly improve the predicament of the Eighth Route Army.Liu Gen couldn't affect the overall situation, but he was able to organize his artillery company soldiers to reclaim wasteland and be as self-sufficient as possible without affecting training and combat.

Even if self-sufficiency cannot be achieved, more food may be obtained, and the physical fitness of the soldiers of the artillery company will be enhanced, and physical training will only be possible if they eat more.Liu Gen became a little excited. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. Now it is March, which is just right for planting. If it is later, it may affect the planting.

There are many crops suitable for planting in Shanxi, such as sorghum, millet, corn, soybean, wheat, rice, barley, buckwheat, peanut, sweet potato, potato and various vegetables.

It can be said that as long as Liu Gen leads the soldiers of the artillery company to reclaim the land in time, there will definitely be something to gain by then.Even if the Xinyi regiment is not in this place at that time, friendly troops can still collect it. If it is not possible, the villagers can also collect it. The villagers should be very willing.

Thinking of the villagers in the village, Liu Gen also thought that Xinyituan could cooperate with the villagers in planting, the soldiers could reclaim the land, and distribute seeds to the villagers, and the crops would be handed over to the villagers to take care of them. It should be feasible for the villagers to receive a certain amount of food as compensation.There may not be many villagers in a village, but the Xinyi Regiment has three battalions and more than 1000 soldiers. If the soldiers are dispersed, more villagers can be mobilized.

Liu Gen was a little excited. He was sure that his idea was feasible, and what he needed most now was to get the support of the regiment leader Ding Wei.Without Ding Wei's support, Liu Gen could only lead the soldiers of the artillery company to do this. There will be some gains, but it will not affect the overall situation.The earlier you plant, the more you will reap later.

Even if the Eighth Route Army only assigns a part of the soldiers to do this, it will make the soldiers more full and improve their physical fitness.Even if it goes well, you can also consider raising pigs and ducks. Shanxi is hilly, so you can open up a secret place to raise pigs and chickens.

After breakfast and letting the soldiers train by themselves, Liu Gen walked quickly towards the regiment headquarters. He wanted to find Ding Wei, express his thoughts, and get the support of the regiment leader Ding Wei as much as possible.

When he came to the regiment headquarters, Liu Gen walked into the room and saw that Ding Wei had just started to eat breakfast. As the regiment leader, Ding Wei's breakfast was similar to that of the soldiers, except that there was an extra portion of pickles.Seeing Liu Gen coming, Ding Wei was a little surprised. At this time, shouldn't Liu Gen take the soldiers of the artillery company for training?

"Genzi, are you here? Have you had breakfast? Do you want to have some together?" Ding Wei asked with a smile.

Liu Gen shook his head, "Leader, I've eaten it, you can eat it."

"Genzi, what's the matter with you?" Ding Wei looked at Liu Gen, saw the strangeness in Liu Gen's expression, and put down his chopsticks.

"Head, it won't be too late for me to talk after you finish eating, it's not too late." Liu Gen said.

Ding Wei picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, "Gen Zi, you should just speak directly, what you said should be very important, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me so early."

"It's like this, Commander, I took the soldiers of the artillery company to train this morning. After crossing the five kilometers, many soldiers were paralyzed to the ground. They couldn't bear this kind of training. This kind of training is not heavy, but The fighters just can't bear it, their physical fitness is too poor."

"When I fought the bayonet with the devils, I found that the soldiers' skills were not bad, but they were no match for the devils in the bayonet fight. The devils were able to win because of their physical fitness. The soldiers of the devils drank milk since they were young. , Eat meat, and your physical fitness is much stronger than ours, if you want to win the bayonet fight with the devils, you can't just practice your skills." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

Ding Wei nodded, he knew this, "Genzi, I know this, but you also know that our new regiment's supplies are not too much, and we can't last too long to supply the soldiers with all our strength. Let's This is the case for Xinyituan, not to mention other regiments, if you have any ideas, just say it.”

Looking at Liu Gen, Ding Wei looked forward to it, maybe Liu Gen could bring him a little surprise.
