Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

In Li Yunlong's battle plan, the reason why he chose to launch the attack in the early morning was because most of the soldiers in the first battalion were new recruits, except for the old soldiers who had walked across the snowy mountains and grass.

Although they were trained by the division's teaching team, the instructors taught them how to deal with the cavalry in a targeted manner.

But my comrades will not put the saber on the recruits' necks. No matter how good they perform during training, there is still the possibility of accidents in the first actual combat.

Inexperienced novices can easily be affected by the battlefield atmosphere. Once emotions such as fear, tension, excitement, irritability and uneasiness arise, combat effectiveness will drop rapidly.

But as long as you survive the first time, you will slowly grow into a reliable veteran and become the mainstay of the army.

Li Yunlong's careful selection of Wanjia Town reflects his sophisticated side.

The problem that most of the puppet troops have is that they have weak fighting will and low fighting literacy, but at least their equipment is complete.

It's okay for these losers to follow the devils and fight with the wind. At that time, the fox's pretense and the tiger's power were more or less effective.

But the headwind situation is useless. Once someone feels the danger, they will collapse. Things like organization have nothing to do with them.

Early in the morning is when these people are most lazy. As long as they can get rid of the sentries, they can be killed silently.

At that time, most of the enemies will still be sleeping in the barracks. Even if they are lucky enough to mount a horse, they will definitely choose to escape immediately.

In this way, a batch of war horses can be captured, and it can also play a role in training soldiers and allowing new recruits to gain experience.

There are two reasons why Zhao Gang wants to lead the team himself.

The first reason is that the war is coming and he needs to become more familiar with the soldiers. After all, he is not as senior as Li Yunlong. Even if he is parachuted into a new unit, he can rely on his previous reputation to stabilize the overall situation.

What's more, currently in the army, some soldiers are not ideologically aware enough. They have certain misunderstandings about the work of political commissars, and leading by example can eliminate their fears.

The second reason is that Zhao Gang likes the atmosphere of the new second group very much, and he is also very satisfied with his partner. This is the place he dreams of.

He was worried that if Li Yunlong led the team, his superiors might hold him accountable. Even though Captain Li is eloquent, he has too many criminal records.

On the other hand, if he leads the team himself, even if the brigade commander blames him, he can still use the first reason to explain to the brigade commander.

——————————

After discussing the combat plan with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and his guard platoon immediately set off for the two originally scheduled villages.

At present, the work at the regiment headquarters is progressing quite smoothly. Both production and thinking are being carried out in an orderly manner according to the arrangements of the two chief officers.

However, the work in the other two villages in the defense zone must also keep up. The masses are the basis of the Eighth Route Army, so naturally they cannot ignore one thing and lose the other.

He went out today just to talk to the two village chiefs about the plan of the new second regiment, and to try to get the cooperation of the fellow villagers in every step. If the army and the people are united, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Zhao Gang returned to the regiment headquarters with the soldiers of the guard platoon. The busy day made him a little tired, but he felt very accomplished.

The enthusiastic villagers originally wanted to let him stay for dinner, but he refused on the grounds of violating discipline.

After settling the horses, he immediately went to the cooking class, where he saw Li Yunlong.

In fact, Lao Li spent most of his time dining with the soldiers in the regiment. This would give the soldiers more opportunities to get in touch with him, and also give Li Yunlong, as the regiment leader, more opportunities to get to know everyone in the regiment. A warrior.

After seeing his political commissar return, Captain Li was a little angry and ignored Zhao Gang. He was still brooding about what happened this morning.

After a short rest after the meal, Zhao Gang immediately went to the original meeting place at sunset. Pre-war mobilization was one of his jobs.

Looking at the more than 300 soldiers, he took a deep breath and said:

"Comrades, although we join the army, it does not mean that we are superior to others. The Eighth Route Army will always be the people's army."

"The common people who regard us as relatives now have suffered in Wanjia Town and were bullied by a group of puppet soldiers. Are we going to sit back and wait for death?"

In the war years, few ordinary people could live in peace. Maybe not everyone had seen the Japanese, but no one dared to say that they had never met the puppet soldiers.

These idlers love to bully men and dominate women, and most of them are more ruthless than Japanese soldiers. The soldiers and civilians in the base area hate these people with all their teeth.

Many of the new recruits in the first battalion were young, vigorous young men. Before joining the army, they had more or less experienced situations where people from the same village were bullied by the puppet army.

After hearing Zhao Gang's words, they could hardly resist the urge to go into battle and kill the enemy, and everyone's hearts were surging.

This pre-war mobilization mobilized the enthusiasm of the soldiers. Originally, they only knew that there would be a military operation tonight, but they did not know the specific mission. Now that they knew the target, the comrades felt a surge of blood in their hearts. They shouted at their political commissars:

"Of course not! Political Commissar, take us to Wanjia Town! We have to eliminate harm for the people, whether they are puppet soldiers or Japanese soldiers, they all deserve to die!"

Zhao Gang nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"We will have a fierce battle tonight, and maybe some of us will die. What I want to say is, no matter how difficult it is, it is the price we must bear."

"Because we are soldiers and have the responsibility to defend our country. Are we going to let our fellow villagers be bullied just because we are afraid of death?"

I have to admit that Zhao Gang speaks very well, and even Li Yunlong, a veteran, feels his blood is boiling. He didn't know how many times he felt in his heart that this kind of political commissar was what the New Second Regiment needed most.

Looking at the soldiers in front, Li Yunlong knew that he had to say something.

"Comrades! Although the enemy has cavalry, we are more comprehensively prepared! Moreover, they are puppet troops and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning!"

"We must despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically."

"In our New Second Regiment, even if we are facing heavily armed Japs, we must dare to risk our lives."

"This is the first lesson I teach you. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. When encountering an enemy, we must draw our swords! Let's go! I'm waiting for the good news of your triumph."

The two men's pre-war mobilization was very successful. They first stated the facts and clearly expressed that the battlefield was not a training ground. Someone was likely to die in the war, so that the soldiers paid attention to the enemy.

The second is sincere expression, highlighting the sense of identity and belonging, so that the soldiers know why they are fighting.

The final call was impassioned, telling the comrades that the regiment was fully prepared and that they should not worry. This can encourage everyone to be passionate and move forward courageously.

In addition to mobilizing with Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong came here for another purpose. Although his own political commissar's marksmanship was superb, he didn't know how good his opponent's fists and kicks were.

Accidents may happen at any time on the battlefield. The sharp-tongued Li Yunlong was very worried about Zhao Gang's safety, so he decided to place his bodyguard Hu Zi next to Zhao Gang.

Originally, a monk with advanced martial arts skills was the best candidate, but compared to Hu Zi, the monk lacked stability.

Zhao Gang and his first battalion of soldiers quickly disappeared from Li Yunlong's sight and blended into the dark night.
