Since Chen Geng asked this question, Guo Lingfeng had long planned to answer: "Brigade commander, I think the independent regiment still lacks training, and this battle has exposed a lot of problems. I admit that the morale of the soldiers is still very high, but it's just showing off their courage! I think the most important work of the independent regiment in the next step is to strengthen the training of the soldiers, practice shooting, bayonet fighting, tactical movements, etc. in short, practice whatever doesn't work..." Li Yunlong didn't think so. He interrupted, "I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill? Did the soldiers fight a good battle?"
Chen Geng scolded, "Li Yunlong, don't interrupt, Guo Lingfeng, go on!"
Guo Lingfeng then said, "Lao Li, don't be unconvinced! This time, more than 1000 people of our regiment killed more than 80 brothers and more than 200 wounded in Yamazaki brigade. You think the combat effectiveness is good? No, when can we win the little devils when our troops are equal or even when our troops are inferior to each other?"
Li Yunlong said with a wry smile: "Your boy really doesn't hurt your back when you stand and talk! You don't understand the situation of our regiment. Our equipment and firepower are much worse than those of the little devils, even compared with the Jinsui army. How to fight with equal forces? It's not that Lao Li said dejected words. Relying on the fighting will of our independent regiment, we have some opportunities in addition to fighting bayonets. We're really not the enemy of the devils!"
Guo Lingfeng said, "I admit that we are not the devil's opponent now, but we have to find a way to make progress? If we don't have enough skills, we can practice our skills, and if we don't have enough equipment and ammunition, we can find a way to capture them from the little devil? I believe that one day our independent regiment can beat the devil of a large team or even a united team with real weapons!"
Li Yunlong listened with admiration, gave him a thumbs up and said, "good boy! You really want to go with me! When will our independent regiment be as powerful as you said, I can wake up with a smile in my dream!"
Chen Geng also laughed: "Guo Lingfeng, you're right. I think it's reasonable! This year we just gave the devils a 'hundred regiments war'. The devils seem to want to take revenge on us. It's estimated that there will be a big clean-up soon. We can only bear it for a while! During this time, we'll train hard, and often arrange small troops to do damage, aiming at the Devils' transport team Turrets, sentry posts and so on. By the way, we will seize the necessary materials. When the combat effectiveness of the army is strong, we will find devils to fight a few more battles! "
After returning to the regiment headquarters, Guo Lingfeng discussed with Li Yunlong and decided to carry out large-scale military training immediately.
After all, Guo Lingfeng had served in the army in the new era, and his experience in scientific training must be higher than Li Yunlong. Originally, he wanted to grasp the large-scale military training on his own, but Li Yunlong blocked his mouth with "the head is in charge of the military and the political commissar is in charge of life". The two fought red in the regiment headquarters. They couldn't even watch Kong Jie lying on the Kang, and advised: "Why are you arguing? You all talk about your training plan. I'll be the referee. Whoever says well will take charge of the training of the whole regiment. Isn't it over?"
Lao Tzu said, "I am the leader of the regiment, and I has the final say in military affairs! Let me ask the political commissar to do some training. Will he be able to fight?" he has fought several wars. Li Yunlong has fought more wars than he has read, "Li Yunlong said.
Kong Jie scolded: "yes! You can! Just you can! Who said that the political commissar would not be able to conduct training? Look at the training ground of our regiment, didn't the political commissar teach the soldiers to repair it? Although the political commissar has less experience in war than us, you dare to say that the political commissar has no real skills? Just say, what can you compare with the political commissar in war?"
Li Yunlong was choked and speechless. He recalled that, as Kong Jie said, Guo Lingfeng's shooting skills were comparable to him, but he couldn't catch up with his kung fu. The only thing Li Yunlong was better than Guo Lingfeng was combat experience, but he practiced combat skills on the training field. As for combat experience, it must be accumulated gradually through actual combat!
Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "Lao Li, isn't it just training? It's not taking your military command. Why are you so stingy? Otherwise, I'll take the soldiers to practice for two weeks first? Look first. If I don't practice well, you can replace me at any time?"
Li Yunlong said angrily, "well, if you don't practice well, I'll do it myself! Also, training belongs to training. You can't leave the things that the political commissar should manage. I won't do your things!"
Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "don't worry, you won't fall behind! You should come to the training ground to have a look when I'm training. You're an old comrade, and I have to learn more from you!"
Li Yunlong said with a smile, "your boy's mouth is like wiping honey! I said something ugly. If the soldiers don't make any progress in two weeks, I'll scold you in front of the whole group. Don't think I scold you badly?"
Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "don't worry. You will see results in two weeks!"
It was agreed that Li Yunlong and Guo Lingfeng drank wine. Kong Jie was also addicted to alcohol by them, forcing Li Yunlong to pour him several Liang.
The next morning, Guo Lingfeng took 10 gold bars from the system storage space and asked monk Wei to take people to buy more pigs and cattle.
None of the common people raise so many livestock these days. Monk Wei had to go to the town bank to exchange gold bars for silver dollars, and then trade these silver dollars with the common people one by one. It was easy to buy 20 pigs and 20 cattle.
At that time, there were four popular gold bars in China. According to the weight, they were half Liang, 1 liang, 5 Liang and 10 Liang, of which 1 Liang was called "small yellow croaker" and 10 Liang was called "big yellow croaker". At that time, one kilogram was 16 Liang, and one liang of "little yellow croaker" weighed 31.25 grams.
According to the price level at that time, one "little yellow croaker" can be exchanged for 40 silver dollars, and three "little yellow croakers" are enough to buy a small quadrangle in Beijing. At that time, the monthly living expenses of a well-off family were about 15 silver dollars. A banquet in the restaurant with good wine and meat was only two or three silver dollars.
Guo Lingfeng's gold bars are 100g each, which is heavier than the three "little yellow croakers" combined, and the gold quality is better (higher purity). Ten gold bars have been exchanged for 1200 silver dollars. After buying pigs and cattle, there was still a lot left. Guo Lingfeng bought a large group of chickens and ducks and asked people to raise them in a yard surrounded by a fence.
Guo Lingfeng also has 1000 Jin of rice and 1000 Jin of flour in his storage space. These grains are refined grains these days, which are much more expensive than the coarse grains eaten by ordinary people. But Guo Lingfeng knew that more grain should be better, so he changed all these grains into coarse grain, enough to exchange more than 6000 kilograms of coarse grain.
Guo Lingfeng took such great pains to improve everyone's life. If you want to engage in training, the soldiers must keep up with their nutrition. Why can't the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army beat the devils in hand to hand combat during this period? How can they beat those strong devils?
With these pigs and cattle, killing one head every day is enough for the independent regiment to share several liang of meat and a large bowl of broth. Those chickens and ducks lay eggs, save them, and get some egg soup for the soldiers every three or five times, or fry leeks, which are good things to supplement nutrition.
Coarse grain is certainly not as delicious as fine grain, but the nutrition of coarse grain is not necessarily less than fine grain. Therefore, the soldiers will not lack nutrition because they eat coarse grain. On the contrary, because the grain has increased so much, everyone can open their stomach to eat and work harder during training.
