Chapter 139 Yankee
The first phase of the Tianmu Mountain Special Training Class officially opened on the second day. Although there were only twenty-one students, and the extra one was Bai Jinwen, Lin Xiaotang clearly felt that this was the beginning of making history for himself, even though there was only a young man in front of him. But given time, the seeds sown today will spread their fruits to every corner of the motherland, perhaps, to every place in the world.
Lin Xiaotang got up early in the morning, walked outside the simple barracks, looked at the mountain peaks shrouded in light mist, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and Lei Zhen walked out with his coat on, "I heard what you said last night, but you made me drink too much, and you didn't drink less. Why don't you get more sleep?"
Lin Xiaotang did not look back, "Brother Lei, you went into the mountains to find Ergou again, right?"
Lei Zhen nodded, "I know that he is a worry for you, and I also want to find out the answer as soon as possible, so after you left last time, Lao Quan and I took people in again."
Lin Xiaotang's smile was a little bitter, "There's still no result, right?"
Lei Zhen's face showed a frustrated expression, "Yes, this kid is cunninger than a fox, and his nose is sharper than Old Quan. We found two of his places to stay, but we didn't even see anyone."
Lin Xiaotang shook his head, "Stop looking for him. He is deliberately hiding from us and will not let us catch him. He still wants to eat, so let's let him go. Otherwise, he will not even be able to get basic supplies."
Lei Zhen nodded silently.
Lin Xiaotang patted his head and said, "Look at my memory. By the way, is there any news from the Americans?"
Lei Zhen replied: "I received the news last night that Shanghai has sent people to Lin'an. Damn, these foreigners are too conspicuous. The people we sent to take care of them took a lot of effort to send them to Lin'an." Shan, it is estimated that it will only take these two days to arrive."
Lin Xiaotang chuckled, "Okay, when they come, the training of our eight hundred people will be handed over to them. I heard that these people are all retired officers of the US Marine Corps. It's all my expense." You paid a lot of money to poach him, so you must take good care of him."
Lei Zhen curled his lips and said, "Are they so awesome? Could it be that they have three heads and six arms?"
Lin Xiaotang patted him on the shoulder, "If you have the ability, wait until they come. Naturally, if they are really from Xibei, we will replace them. At worst, I will invite a few Germans over."
…
After dawn, the special training class officially started. Since there was currently no other instructor, Lin Xiaotang originally planned to ask Shang Zhensheng to take over a few classes, but he was no longer in Shanghai during this period. Only Shang Zhensheng could control the situation, so , Lin Xiaotang had to come and teach for a few days, and by the way, he could teach only part of his booklet.
But in this way, this year's Spring Festival will be spent in Tianmu Mountain. Earlier, Shang Zhensheng forwarded a telegram from Dong Jiayi. Between the lines, he revealed his dissatisfaction with Lin Xiaotang for not being able to spend the New Year's Eve with him this time, but he still gave him countless instructions. , told Lin Xiaotang to pay attention to his health. Looking at this telegram, Lin Xiaotang couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt in his heart, but he was immediately surrounded by this deep sense of happiness.
With two women who treat him wholeheartedly, what more can a husband ask for?
As for Haneda Sora, when leaving Peiping, Lin Xiaotang secretly went to the Central Hotel to find her once, but he was concerned that she was surrounded by officers from the Special High School Course, so Lin Xiaotang just left a message for her in the hotel lobby, which was vague. Lin Xiaotang told him that he was leaving Peking and rushing back to Shanghai in advance. As for what Sora Haneda thought after receiving the oral message, Lin Xiaotang did not know.
For three days in a row, Lin Xiaotang served as a substitute in the special training class. He had never been a teacher before, and now he was addicted to being an instructor. Looking at the pairs of eyes below that were thirsty for knowledge, Lin Xiaotang felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. , His teaching is also very simple, and the teaching materials are ready-made, but it is not convenient for him to take out the two booklets for the time being. After all, the content in them is too sensitive and advanced, so he summarizes the basic knowledge in the booklets. Come out and instill these things into the students through easy-to-understand language and a large number of practical examples, so that they can quickly master this knowledge.
Of course, individuals have different understanding abilities, so Lin Xiaotang encouraged them to take more notes, because the training class was too short, and there would be various practical business learning, so the students needed to record the theoretical knowledge. Slow to understand, Lin Xiaotang soon discovered that among the twenty-one students, the one who understood the fastest and best understood the purpose of his teaching was Bai Jinwen.
…
Three days later, the Americans arrived at the base, accompanied by Huoyan. This time he acted as the translator and guide for the Americans. The most important thing was that he heard that there was a sniper instructor among these officers. This was his The biggest motivation to participate in this mission.
A total of four Americans came. The leader was Johnny. He was forty years old and had served as a major in the U.S. Marine Corps' combined brigade. He was also one of the first batch of Marines. The other three were recommended by him, namely Lieutenant Stevenson, Lieutenant Jonker and Second Lieutenant Scarlett. It is worth pointing out that Scarlett is the sniper instructor, and she is a woman.
When the four of them arrived, they all changed into ordinary people's clothes. Because Americans are tall, the clothes they found didn't fit well, and they always made people feel as if they were a little shorter. Fortunately, Huoyan was proficient in disguise, so he could The loopholes of several people are well covered, which is also the most important reason why several people can enter the mountain safely.
Lin Xiaotang and Lei Zhen prepared separate barracks for them, but Johnny insisted on living in the soldiers' camp and just gave them a few military tents. This surprised Lin Xiaotang, but he was also impressed by Johnny's pragmatism. I admire the military style very much.
After putting on the combat uniforms of the US military, several people suddenly changed their appearance, and their military temperament was undoubtedly revealed.
After several people watched the training of Lei Zhen's soldiers, they briefly discussed with each other. Johnny came to Lin Xiaotang's side with an unnatural look on his face, "Mr. Lin, with all due respect, the physical fitness of your soldiers is first-rate, but It can be seen that they have been in a state of malnutrition for a long time. Many of them have unsatisfactory explosive power and endurance, and their tactical awareness is outdated. It can be said that their cooperation only stays in the initial stage, all relying on each other's strength. Tactical actions that were completed based on familiarity did not reflect the requirements of tactical discipline at all."
Lin Xiaotang shrugged and replied in fluent English: "Major Johnny, I think this is why I invited you here. You also know that we have been at war with the Japanese for many years. We do not have cash, weapons, or sufficient food. Even ammunition, but even so, we alone resisted millions of invaders who were armed to the teeth. Many of my soldiers didn't even know the words, let alone received any professional training. I invite you to come, I don’t want you to train a force like your country’s Marine Corps, but I want you to adapt measures to local conditions and train elite soldiers that are compatible with our actual conditions.”
After listening to Lin Xiaotang's words, Johnny frowned and thought for a while, "I think I understand what you mean."
At this time, Lei Zhen's soldiers became a little impatient. Lin Xiaotang looked at Lei Zhen, but saw that he didn't seem to see him. He looked up at the sky, as if it had nothing to do with him, and couldn't help but smile, "These veterans Youzi, if you haven’t seen the true abilities of the Yankees, you won’t be convinced.”
Although Johnny couldn't understand what the soldiers were saying, he was familiar with this situation as he was born in the army. He smiled at Lin Xiaotang and said, "Mr. Lin, the soldiers don't seem to recognize us."
Lin Xiaotang smiled in return, "I think you will have a way to solve it, right, Major Johnny."
Johnny followed Lin Xiaotang's example and shrugged, "As you wish."
Johnny turned to look at his subordinates, "Everyone, who is willing to solve this trouble?"
Stevenson and Jonker both took a step back, leaving Scarlett standing alone in front. Scarlett looked at Johnny and the three of them angrily, "It's me again.",
Johnny smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Scarlett then slowly walked towards the queue of soldiers. Lin Xiaotang was stunned and quickly asked Johnny, "Mr. Major, why do you send a woman to fight? My soldiers will think this is an insult to them."
Johnny laughed, "Dear Mr. Lin, the Marine Corps has only had its first female soldier since 1918, and it is only now that the Marine Corps has its first female sniper. If Scarlett hadn't violated If she has violated military discipline and been touched by the army, she will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, do you understand what I mean?"
Fire Eyes followed Scarlett, and Scarlett turned to look at him, "Mr. Guide, I heard that your army must look at his fighting skills when recruiting soldiers. It seems that you call it martial arts, right?"
Huoyan nodded, "Yes, I have this habit."
"Well, please ask these soldiers who is willing to compete with me."
Scarlett took off her hat, revealing her golden hair. She quickly tied it into a ponytail, looked at the soldiers with her light blue eyes, put her hands on her hips, and exposed her exquisite curves, which immediately caused a burst of whistles from the soldiers.
"Hey, this big Yangma comes here to show off, right?"
"Sir, are you here to comfort us, hahahaha."
Huoyan was a little embarrassed and cleared his throat, "Brothers, Instructor Scarlett has said who is willing to compete with her."
The crowd immediately exploded.
"Did I hear you right? A girl dares to compete with us, right?"
The soldiers rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.
Scarlett was calm and calm, looking at the crowd in front of her calmly.
Suddenly a thunderous voice sounded, "Get the hell out of here, who dares to rob me."
Before he finished speaking, a burly man squeezed out of the crowd.
Lei Zhen shouted: "Big guy, why are you here to join in the fun? You feel quite proud to fight with a girl, right?"
The big man touched the short hair on his head and said with a simple smile: "Sir, I like girls like this, with big breasts and big butts. If I can win her, can you help me tell me whether I can marry her." "
