I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 43 Ding Wei with a Headache

"Okay, everyone don't need to look at me, just start eating!" Feeling the eyes of the soldiers, a smile appeared on Liu Gen's face.

With the words of the company commander Liu Gen, the soldiers held their own bowls and began to eat.Ordinary bone soup is not considered delicious in the eyes of later generations, but every soldier in the artillery company is satisfied when drinking bone soup. They like the taste of bone soup very much.

It would be even better if they could drink bone soup every day, but the soldiers knew that this was impossible.No matter how capable the company commander Liu Gen is, it's impossible to get more pig bones?In such a troubled world, there is quite a market for pig bones. Unless you are a butcher, ordinary people may not see any meat for a whole year.

The soldiers were very satisfied with today's lunch. Everyone ate two bowls of rice, and there would be nothing more.Soldiers are already very satisfied if they can eat two bowls of rice. Besides, there are steamed buns in the bone soup, so it is still possible to fill their stomachs.Liu Gen didn't eat too much, he controlled his appetite, and stopped eating after one and a half bowls.

The three squad leaders of the artillery company also quietly chose to do this. No one told them this, but the three squad leaders still wanted to let the soldiers eat more.The three squad leaders of the artillery company are all veterans. They know the conditions of the soldiers under them. Without enough physical training, the soldiers will easily die when they enter the battlefield.

Noticing this, Liu Gen was a little sad. The soldiers should be able to eat enough, but due to various factors, the new regiment did not have so many supplies to allow the soldiers to have enough to eat on weekdays. .Only when fighting can every soldier be fed, which makes people very helpless.

Insufficient food is very common in various units of the Eighth Route Army, and eating grass roots and bark is even more common.All the troops are trying to find a way to solve the problem of supplies. Most of the troops rely on capture to maintain the supplies that the soldiers should have.It's just that the fighting power of the devils is not weak, and not all troops have strong enough fighting power like the new regiment, which leads to more defeats and fewer victories in the battle with the devils.

Liu Gen shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He couldn't help other troops. The only thing he could do was to feed his soldiers as much as possible, and let the first squad leader lead the soldiers for training. He found out A map of the surrounding area.

The forces surrounding the Xinyi Regiment are a bit complicated, there are enemies, me, fakes, stubborns, etc. The devils can't fight anymore, and with the combat effectiveness of the artillery company, it's still impossible to fight the devils.Besides, Ding Wei, the new head of the regiment, has just arrived, so it is quite necessary to keep the new regiment stable enough.Even if the Xinyi Regiment's combat effectiveness is good, if it rashly starts a war with the devils, it will easily attract a large group of devils to come. It is impossible to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

In the end, Liu Gen set his sights on the power of the puppet army. Not far from the Xinyi regiment, there is a battalion of puppet troops stationed, which will be rotated every week. I think there will be many puppet troops there. supplies.Glancing at the time, today is Friday, and by Monday, the puppet army will be in rotation, bringing certain supplies.

It is impossible for Liu Gen to send troops rashly. Besides, the current combat effectiveness of the artillery company is a bit embarrassing.A battalion of puppet troops will not be able to deal with it by an artillery company.The combat power of the puppet army is not strong, but it is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will. Liu Gen wants to ask Ding Wei if he can let the soldiers take the initiative to attack and get more supplies for the soldiers to train.

There are a lot of new recruits in the new regiment. Taking the initiative to attack can also exercise the combat effectiveness of the recruits. Only recruits who have seen blood can become qualified fighters.

Putting away the map, Liu Gen was thinking about what kind of benefits his artillery company could get.If some supplies are seized, the artillery company will definitely be able to share part of them, which can relieve the pressure on the artillery company to some extent and allow the soldiers to have more physical strength to train.However, Liu Gen didn't know if he decided to take action against the puppet army. He needed to ask Ding Wei and other regiment leaders.

Just when Liu Gen was wondering whether to go to Ding Wei, the regiment commander, he was quite surprised to see Ding Wei came to the artillery company with his guards.

"Regimental Commander, why did you come to our artillery company?" Liu Gen got up quickly, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Ding Wei laughed. He didn't rush to answer Liu Gen's question, but after carefully looking at the soldiers in training, he chose to say, "I was in the first battalion, second battalion, and third battalion this morning. Once again, the first battalion is worthy of being the elite of our regiment. They worked hard and seriously during training, and the soldiers were also very aggressive. The second and third battalions have some problems. In terms of training intensity, the second and third battalions The battalion is a little weak."

"I came to your artillery company for training, and found that the soldiers of your artillery company trained very hard, and their mental strength can be compared with that of the first battalion. Genzi, you are decisive and capable. Lao Li put you in the position of the commander of the artillery company. He still has eyes."

Liu Gen was a little puzzled, and didn't quite understand why Ding Wei would say this to himself, "Don't dare, our artillery company dare not compare with Zhang Battalion Commander's first battalion, Zhang Battalion Commander's ability is much stronger, our artillery company There are still many shortcomings."

"Okay, don't be humble, I have seen your training. From the perspective of training intensity, the training intensity of your artillery company is almost the same as that of the first battalion." Ding Wei said with a smile.

Ding Wei looked around and could see the land reclaimed by the soldiers, "Have you encountered any difficulties in reclaiming the wasteland? If you have any, you can mention it, and the regiment will try to help you."

"Letting your artillery company do this kind of thing is wronging you. It is my uselessness as the regimental commander that makes the soldiers have to do this kind of thing and can't devote all their energy to training."

Ding Wei's face was not very good-looking, and the guard behind him took a look at Liu Gen, wanting Liu Gen to persuade Ding Wei a few words.Ding Wei just came to Xinyituan, so he has such a problem, and it has nothing to do with him.Besides, the situation of the Xinyi Regiment is already very good, and it is considered to have a relatively strong family background in the 129th Division.

"Head, don't say that. It's not your fault. You can only blame the little devil."

"The soldiers are all satisfied, and have no dissatisfaction with you, commander. Everyone wants to train hard and go to the battlefield to kill devils." Liu Gen said hastily.

Ding Wei waved his hand and sighed. After carefully watching the training of the soldiers, he realized that the new regiment also had many problems.As the head of the regiment, Ding Wei also knows why the training intensity of the second and third battalions cannot be compared with that of the first battalion. Eighty percent full.

This happened not because the regiment headquarters treated the first battalion specially, but because the commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, was very capable. He had prepared enough supplies for the first battalion early on, and from time to time he took the soldiers to hunt some wild game.The second battalion and the third battalion were a little short, and there were not many supplies prepared. If they wanted to survive, the soldiers' rations would naturally not be too much.

"Genzi, where can you get enough supplies?" Looking at Liu Gen, Ding Wei's eyes were full of expectation.
