Chapter 255: Training the Troops

"Hmm... That's a good idea. Yao Pengju, you can arrange this matter. Try to assign a soldier to each company, and dedicate an hour every day to improve the soldiers' marksmanship."

Zhao Zhiguo was not worried at all about the veteran's marksmanship. The recruits had never touched a gun and were more familiar with brooms than guns. It was impossible for them to charge with brooms.

"Captain, there are only a few people in our special team!" Yao Pengju was a little reluctant, "Send them all out, can we still train them?"

Zhao Zhiguo walked up to Yao Pengju and whispered to Yao Pengju: "If you send these soldiers to the companies below, won't they know very well whether there are good soldiers in these companies? If they understand, doesn't it mean that you understand

Is that enough? Are you still going to the training ground every day to look for a needle in a haystack?"

"Hehehehe, leader, I understand!" Yao Pengju thought to himself that this is a great idea.

"Dian Hou, I also give you a task. Take a squad from your company and send it to the villages and towns. We want to recruit new soldiers."

Zhao Zhiguo felt that it was too unreliable to rely solely on the division headquarters to provide them with new recruits. The quality of the soldiers varied greatly, and it was hard to say whether they could be trusted.

As before, Zhao Zhiguo and the others set up a separate company of new recruits as a reserve unit of the army. After being trained, they could be replenished into the combat unit.

Since the end of this year, the little Japanese have become much more honest. Not only have no sporadic troops entered Zhao Zhiguo's defense area to cause trouble, but they have also not launched any more probing attacks.

Without the trouble caused by the little Japs, Zhao Zhiguo could train his troops with peace of mind.

The troops had sufficient supplies, so of course Zhao Zhiguo would not be idle and look for trouble, and would deliberately find trouble with the little devils. In the past, they were forced to go into the city to get the supplies they wanted.

Now that his life is stable, Zhao Zhiguo wants to live such a peaceful life forever.

Just today, Zhao Zhiguo received a letter from Commander Hu. The last battle left Commander Hu with a lifelong disability. One leg was lame and he lost half of his hand. The Northwest Army did not want him, and neither did the Jinsui Army.

Captain Hu told Zhao Zhiguo in the letter that he planned to return to his hometown and plan to plant a few acres of land in his hometown to stay away from the war.

Hearing that Captain Hu was going back to his hometown, Zhao Zhiguo sent someone to see Captain Hu and brought him to his regiment headquarters.

However, by the time the communications troops sent by Zhao Zhiguo arrived at the hospital, Commander Hu had already left.

After learning that Commander Hu had left, Zhao Zhiguo sighed deeply. Commander Zhang left, Commander Hu also left, and Zhao Ziming's whereabouts were unknown. At this time, Zhao Zhiguo seemed to be missing something in his heart.

"Let's go, let's all go, maybe getting out of here is the best thing."

Zhao Zhiguo shook his head helplessly. Originally, there were division commanders and regiment commanders above to support him. When something went wrong, Division Commander Zhang and regiment commander Hu helped him carry it. If the supplies were not available, everyone worked together to find a solution.

Now it is Zhao Zhiguo's turn to take charge of the matter. If there is a problem, he will take it upon himself. If there is a solution that cannot be solved, he will make his own decision.

It might not be a bad thing to leave the front line, at least you don't have to live a precarious life all day long, and you won't have to worry about your life anymore.

Commander Hu left, but Cai Maoyun came back. After returning to Zhao Zhiguo's regiment headquarters, he still served as deputy commander, as before, as if nothing had happened.

Cai Maoyun disappeared for fifteen days and suddenly came back, which shocked Zhao Zhiguo and everyone in the group. Of course, he was even more shocked that he could continue to serve as deputy leader.

The two battalion commanders of the Jinsui Army were even more happy. They invited Cai Maoyun to a nearby town for a good meal. The three of them were drunk, and it was already late at night when they returned to the army.

After Cai Maoyun came back this time, he had even fewer interactions with Zhao Zhiguo. He would not discuss matters with Zhao Zhiguo even when his deputy leader could make the decision.

In Zhao Zhiguo's regiment, Cai Maoyun was already able to take charge of the two battalions of the Jinsui Army.

Zhao Zhiguo no longer cares about this. His only hope is to take good care of Gao Cang's battalion and several direct companies.

It seems that Zhao Zhiguo only has the main force of one battalion, but with several directly affiliated companies, the strength is not much less than those two battalions.

"Captain, are you really willing to be ignored by him?"

Seeing Cai Maoyun win over the two battalion commanders openly, Gao Cang felt very uncomfortable.

"Didn't he talk to you?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"After coming back this time, he did come to see me, but my friendship with you, the leader, is life-long. How can it be exchanged for money?"

Cai Maoyun really wants to win over Gao Cang. As long as Gao Cang is brought under his command, Zhao Zhiguo will only have the empty title of leader.

"How much will it cost you?" Zhao Zhiguo asked with a smile.

"Five thousand oceans, and there is also the position of regimental leader. In fact, I am very tempted, but I am afraid that after becoming the regimental leader, they will use the same method to deal with you." Gao Cang also smiled.

"You don't have to be so strict with your opponents' brothers. If they want to follow us, Cai Maoyun won't be able to pull them away by any means. If they don't want to follow us, they will definitely leave voluntarily after a long time."

"Captain, at the end of the last training, we sent back 110 soldiers. This time we brought in 100 soldiers and sent back another 50!"

Gao Cang changed the subject. He knew that Zhao Zhiguo had no way to change the status quo, because even a suspected collaborator could be suppressed. People like them, who had no background and no backing, could only accept the status quo and join the group to keep warm.

"Well done, but your battalion cannot maintain its regular establishment. I require your battalion to have at least 500 troops."

Zhao Zhiguo may not have a regiment under his command, but he must make the Gaocang battalion more capable than a regular regiment of the Jinsui Army.

"Battal Commander, if we continue to expand like this, our battalion will have four companies. Although there is no shortage of weapons and equipment, the officers will be a problem."

"Tian Kezhi!" Zhao Zhiguo called Tian Kezhi to his side.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

Tian Kezhi has been working as a staff officer for Zhao Zhiguo at the regiment headquarters. He is said to be a staff officer, but in fact, he only does clerical work.

"Do you want to lead troops?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"Leading troops? Commander, I've thought about it a long time ago, it's just my identity..."

Tian Kezhi's background was not good, so he was placed in another army and led by an officer with a puppet army background. They were afraid that this officer would take the troops to join the Japs.

"Gao Cang, you give him an enhanced platoon and let him show it first," Zhao Zhiguo said to Gao Cang, "Our training time is not short, it's time to test our training results. This time not only is it good for

The test of soldiers is also the test of your officers, Tian Kezhi, I will look at your performance this time."
