Chapter 98 Rough Veterans
There was endless plum rain in the mountains, and it was so wet everywhere that it was difficult to find a piece of capable land. The clothes on the soldiers were filled with a smell of mold and sourness, and they felt disgusting when they smelled it.
The drizzle covered the sky and the sun, and the damn Japanese soldiers seemed to have blocked the rain curtain outside the mountains. They had not found any traces of the Japanese again for half a month. The soldiers of the 259th Brigade who originally thought they could rest well before they could breathe a sigh of relief and let You Fei catch the grass and go up the mountains and forests to practice.
He studied hard for three years and learned laziness for three days. Although You Fei himself was not a very diligent person, he also understood from the bottom of his heart that as long as a person was lazy once, he would have the next second and third time he even took the initiative to find the opportunity to be lazy. The 259th Brigade has no conditions to slack off at all, and there are a large army of Japanese soldiers who are eyeing him. If he is not careful, he will be in danger of collapse. No one can say that one day the Japanese encirclement and suppression will begin again.
Today is the seventh day of practice as usual. Today's temperature is the coldest day since the beginning of the rainy season. Teams of men are lined up on the quagmire on the playground. The wind blows and drizzles on the firm faces. The eyebrows and eyelashes are covered with round water drops. The rustic cloth shirts on my body are already wet and heavy and cold as if they are covered with a big water bag. The lips on my face are also blue-white. Although my body is already shaking uncontrollably, the unbending spine is still firmly lying in a row of "army-teams" like cuts.
The trainees were all You Fei's old subordinates. As for the Liu Sanyi and his team who joined later, You Fei did not call him at all. He just felt that those people were not worthy of wasting their energy. In the past six days, You Fei had been traveling to various training grounds from morning to night every day to inspection the training situation, and he had not been lazy for a day.
The training content is still the same, such as stinging, striking, slashing, and other struggles, but in this harsh environment, every movement will be twice as difficult as usual. Although the training is difficult, someone fell down on the first day. In the next few days, all the staff completed the training. In addition to the soldiers' bitter coldness and strong body, there is another point that the logistics support of both Shao Yao and Xie Peishan is well done. After training every day, the cold ginger soup is allowed to drink a bowl of each soldier on time, and the dry clothes dried by firewood can also be quickly put into place, which makes the soldiers not get any cold diseases.
Today, Youfei came to the training ground of the 137th Regiment as usual. The 137th Regiment still has no leader until now, and Youfei is still in charge of all the affairs of the regiment headquarters. Youfei once told the soldiers of the 137th Regiment that the leader of the 137th Regiment can only come from the 137th Regiment, and he will never draw generals from other places to command them. He hopes that someone in the 137th Regiment will make Biaobing's military achievements in the future to take over him in charge of the 137th Regiment. In fact, in the hearts of every soldier of the 137th Regiment, Youfei is not only their brigade commander, but also their current regiment commander. No one can replace him because everyone is convinced by him.
Lin Yurui, who was following Youfei, saw the soldiers trembling in the wind and rain, and his sympathy was flooding again. He whispered to Youfei beside him, "Are you so tormenting like you?"
You Fei didn't care, but instead responded with a smile: "I am a kind-hearted demon, and you can only be a bad-hearted old man."
Lin Yurui pursed her lips. When You Fei saw something wrong, he quickly whispered. Haha, he walked two steps away from the attack range of the tigress who was about to lose his temper. "Brothers, today is a good weather. The rain is so strong and the wind is so strong. Haha, it is a good weather for training. I will take good care of me. At night, I will raise several jars of old wine in the storage room to let each of you enjoy the alcohol. Even if I don't have the pleasure of it, haha!" The soldiers trained by You Fei are all very strong, and their moods are naturally good.
When the soldiers of the 137th Regiment heard such good news, they all cheered up. The commanders in charge of training were not as easy to distract themselves. A bunch of willow branches tied in their hands and thrust their faces. The soft and tough willow branches were thrusting in their bodies and hurting their hearts. The soldiers who were originally jokingly returned to the training content one by one.
Lin Yurui, holding a umbrella, walked to You Fei and sneered, "You kind-hearted demon really have the temperament of a leader. It mobilized the morale of the soldiers as soon as you came up. Unfortunately, the training corps under your command will not sell you this face."
Originally, he was kind-hearted but unexpectedly, the soldiers were beaten. You Fei felt a little embarrassed. After he stammering, he patrolled and inspected the training situation again. You Fei did not hold an umbrella like Lin Yurui, and he seemed too sissy as if he was too official.
"Standing at attention~" A long and rough sound came, and a clap sound was also very powerful, and the mud on the ground splashed a large area. You Fei looked through the sound, but saw a veteran who looked quite old and was training a group of soldiers who were thin but had better spirits than other squads.
You Fei walked forward with interest. The veteran was not tall but very solid. His sleeves were rolled up high, and his old face was covered with rain, as if he was old tree bark. He walked to the soldier at the tail, his face pressed on him, and his saliva flew and shouted, "Baby, hold your eggs tightly and stretched out some energy for me~" The soldier's slightly spread legs immediately gathered back together.
The soldier's face was wet, and he didn't know if it was rain or the veteran's saliva stuck to his face. The soldier poked the soldier's chest with the wooden stick in his hand, and then walked away with his head raised. He said proudly: "You are not even hairy when I was catching the gun, so don't be lazy in front of me, I will break his legs if I find out, hey~"
Lin Yurui frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "This old boy is so vicious!"
"Who is yelling!" The veteran roared and turned around. When he saw the people coming were You Fei and Lin Yurui. I guess the people in the entire brigade would not know that Lin Yurui was You Fei's wife, but the veteran still snorted coldly at Lin Yurui, but the expression on his face that was just starting to be crazy was slightly relieved.
Lin Yurui was so angry that the veteran not only did not show fear, but also hummed at her protest. This was really hateful. Even Jiang Zhuhe Tianhao and the others were respectful when they saw him. Lin Yurui was about to get angry because of his self-esteem. At this time, You Fei beside him grabbed Lin Yurui's hand and squeezed it comfortably on the back of her hand. Lin Yurui realized that You Fei's face was full of interest in this veteran.
"Veterson, your soldiers are well-trained. Are you the squad leader of this squad?" said You Fei.
The veteran looked at the soldiers in his squad and said to You Fei dissatisfiedly: "They can't be considered soldiers yet, they are just a few bears who use guns as firewood sticks. I make these bears very angry every day."
You Fei laughed loudly. After laughing for a while, You Fei stopped the laughter and asked in a solemn voice: "What's the name?"
The veteran was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Liu Quan!"
"Well, you will be the platoon leader from today. Today I will send the personnel appointment to your regiment headquarters and will officially be promoted to platoon leader tomorrow." After saying that, You Fei didn't care about Liu Quan's reaction, and left Lin Yurui. What was left behind was a dumbfounded Liu Quan...
