Chapter 383 Artillery School starts! (Happy National Day!)
Less than ten kilometers away from the division headquarters, Liu Gen and others were busy. After nearly half a month of hard work, they successfully built enough houses.
In order to ensure sufficient concealment, Liu Gen and others built a first-story house when building the house, and it was not built too high, so as to reduce the chance of being discovered by the Japanese. At the same time, there were many trees around the house, and some branches were laid by Liu Gen and others, making the house a little green.
After the house was built, Liu Gen said goodbye to Li Yunlong and others and went to the 129th Division to find suitable soldiers for training.
The division headquarters also said that some soldiers were transferred directly to become the first batch of students in the artillery school, but they were rejected by Liu Gen. What's more, if you want to become a qualified artillery, you have many requirements for soldiers, and you have considerable requirements for vision and cultural quality.
Before, when Liu Gen was the company commander of the artillery company in the Independent Regiment, he did not have too high requirements for the cultural level of the soldiers. He knew that in the Eighth Route Army, there were not many soldiers with high cultural level. In addition, Liu Gen needed to form the artillery company of the Independent Regiment in the shortest time and had sufficient combat power, which made Liu Gen lower a lot of requirements when selecting soldiers.
Now, Liu Gen has enough time to teach the students of the artillery school, so there are naturally certain requirements for selecting soldiers. Only those who meet the standards will Liu Gen enter the artillery school. Only such students can become a qualified artilleryman faster.
After receiving the order from the division commander from the division headquarters, Liu Gen rushed to the various units of the 129th Division. In order to seize the time, Liu Gen ran on the horse's back every day. In less than a week, Liu Gen ran all the units of the 129th Division and selected some soldiers of good level from each unit. As long as Liu Gen showed his name as the "cannon god", he could attract many soldiers.
As for some troops who do not want Liu Gen to take some excellent soldiers away, Liu Gen will directly take out the orders of the division commander. Facing the commander's orders, no one dares to easily violate them. In order to appease the emotions of these troops, Liu Gen also guaranteed them that when the study of these soldiers in the artillery school is over, they will return to the original troops.
Liu Gen was able to make such a promise, but he had obtained the consent of the teacher, otherwise he would not dare to say such words easily.
In the 386th Brigade, Liu Gen picked more qualified soldiers, not because of Liu Gen's favoritism, but because of many qualified soldiers in the 386th Brigade. The 386th Brigade has always grasped the cultural quality education of the soldiers, helping the soldiers learn to read, write, and trying to get them out of the ranks of illiteracy. It can be said that except for daily training, the soldiers spent most of their time learning cultural knowledge.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Gen was able to find so many qualified soldiers from the 386th Brigade, which made Liu Gen very satisfied and the brigade commander quite satisfied.
By the time Liu Gen returned to the artillery school, it was almost April.
While Liu Gen went to find qualified soldiers, Li Yunlong and others were not idle either. Li Yunlong and Chen Ergou and others reclaimed a lot of land. The reclaimed land was also to let the artillery learn to be self-sufficient. For the artillery school, the biggest daily consumption is food consumption.
On April 1, Liu Gen specially invited the division commander from the division headquarters to ask the honorary principal of the artillery school to say something to the soldiers. Liu Gen also wanted to invite the chief of the headquarters to come, but it was still a bit difficult to invite the chief of the artillery school before the artillery school showed its own value. The division commander did not recommend asking the chief of the chief of the army. The chief of the chief of the army had a lot of things to do every day, and there was no need to disturb them if the 129th Division established an artillery school.
In the artillery school, the division commander stood on the hillside of the artillery school training ground. He looked at the 100 students below and felt quite moved that these students would become the first batch of students trained by themselves by the 129th Division. Being able to be picked by Liu Gen, the "Architecture God", is enough to show that these soldiers are not bad. As long as they work hard enough in the artillery school, they will definitely become qualified artillerymen.
"Rise the flag!"
After taking a look at the time, Liu Gen shouted loudly.
Soon, soldiers came and raised the prepared red flag. The soldiers looked at all this with a solemn expression. This time, they felt the responsibilities and pressure they were under.
After the flag-raising, the teacher looked at Liu Gen with satisfaction. Liu Gen did a good job and prepared well. Even though all this looked quite simple due to the conditions, it was already very good to be able to do this level.
"Teacher, please say a few words. The students below are waiting for you." Liu Gen reminded.
The division commander nodded, carefully sorted out his clothes, then took a few steps forward and said in a deep voice: "Comrades! I am very happy to see you in the artillery school of our 129th Division! Before we came to the artillery school, I believe you are all elites in the various units of our 129th Division. I hope you will be elites in the artillery school in the future."
"In the army, you are soldiers, and when you come to the artillery school, you are cadets, and you will become artillery students! You who have fought on the front line must know the importance of firepower and should also know the importance of artillery!"
“…”
Liu Gen listened carefully to the division commander's words. He could see that there was no manuscript in his hands. These words were all from his heart. His eyes swept towards the soldiers below. Liu Gen could see that the soldiers listened very seriously. For most of the soldiers of the 129th Division, the division commander has always been the object of their worship.
Under the leadership of the division commander, the 129th Division won many victories, and the division commander's achievements made the soldiers particularly admire him.
"Finally, I wish everyone can grow into a qualified artillery and become the backbone of our 129th Division!" Finally, the division commander said with anticipation in his eyes.
Liu Gen clapped with a smile, and the soldiers also clapped. It was obvious that the soldiers were all a little excited. This time the division commander's arrival is not a loss. In the future study, these students will definitely study hard.
"Genzi, don't you, the principal?" The commander turned to look at Liu Gen and asked with a smile.
Liu Gen shook his head and said, "Teacher, I don't need to say anything. With your words, these students will definitely be particularly motivated."
Seeing that Liu Gen didn't really want to say a few words, the division commander looked at the soldiers below and asked with a smile: "Comrades, do you want our 'cannon god' to say a few words?"
"By the way, Comrade 'Bao God' will be your principal and your instructor in the future. Do you want to hear him talk about his experience? Do you want to become the next 'Bao God'?"
"think!"
"think!"
"think!"
“…”
The students below shouted excitedly, they were all the first batch of students selected by Liu Gen to the artillery school, and they all knew clearly that Liu Gen had made military achievements. Among the artillery soldiers of the 129th Division, Liu Gen may not have made the most military achievements, but his reputation must be the greatest.
With Liu Gen's record, everyone has enough confidence in Liu Gen. Everyone believes that as long as Liu Gen is given more time, he will definitely make more military achievements and become the first person in the artillery of the 129th Division. Of course, in some aspects, Liu Gen is already the first person in the artillery of the 129th Division. At least no one has been able to defeat the Japanese fighter jets several times like Liu Gen.
Feeling the extremely hot gazes of the students below looking at him, Liu Gen could only smile helplessly. He took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and his breath sinks into his dantian. In an instant, his voice reached the ears of every student.
"Comrades, welcome everyone to be the first group of students in our 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army Artillery School and become students in the Artillery School. This does not mean that everyone will stay in the Artillery School forever."
"The Artillery School has strict requirements for everyone. For students who fail to meet the relevant standards three times, we will directly announce their elimination and send them back to the original army! Everyone is very excited to enter the Artillery School, but while everyone is excited, I hope everyone can take on their own responsibilities! Try to become a qualified artillery in the shortest time!"
"Maybe everyone thinks I am too strict! But as a soldier, you should follow the orders as your duty! When you officially start your studies, you will find that the artillery school is not a place to enjoy! It is not a place to relax!"
“…”
When Liu Gen finished speaking, there was no more excitement on the faces of the students below. The words of the division commander gave them hope to make themselves better. Liu Gen's words gave these soldiers a blow, leaving them no longer excited, and everyone became heavy.
The division commander looked at Liu Gen and became more and more appreciative. Perhaps Liu Gen would appear quite strict in doing so, but it is very necessary to successfully train these students to become qualified artillery soldiers.
"Hehe, you guy is right." When Liu Gen returned to his original position, Li Yunlong came up and said with a smile.
Without the need for the division commander to remind him, Li Yunlong stepped forward and said that he is now the director of the teaching department of the Artillery School, so naturally he needs to let the students know him. The work of the teaching department is not easy, especially after Li Yunlong asked what Liu Gen needed to do, he felt more and more that he was cheated by Liu Gen.
But even if Li Yunlong realized this, he had no choice. As the director of the Artillery School's Education Department, Liu Gen would not let him leave easily. In addition, with the attention of the division commander, it would be impossible for Li Yunlong to leave unless there was a war on the front line.
Li Yunlong's speech did not take long. He felt that when these students spent a long time with him, they would naturally have enough understanding of him.
After all the process was over, the commander hurriedly left, and Liu Gen went to the division headquarters to ask the commander to take some time to come. This is because the distance of ten kilometers is not far, otherwise if it is too far, even if Liu Gen says, it would be impossible to invite the commander.
When the division commander left, Liu Gen directly led the students to start training, hoping to train all of these students into qualified artillery soldiers. He knew that haste would not be achieved. What's more, this was the first time Liu Gen led the students to conduct training, and it was not suitable for too much training.
"Today is the first day. You should be able to see that our 129th Division's artillery school is a bit simple and we don't have enough instructors!"
"At present, everyone has only me as an instructor, which means that it is very simple for everyone to pass the qualifications. Just get the recognition of me as an instructor!"
"I won't have too high requirements for everyone in the first training. Everyone has it! Turn left! Prepare for off-road for twenty kilometers!" Liu Gen ordered loudly.
The students were full of surprise, but they reacted quickly after they had been honed on the front line. Before Liu Gen could speak again, they were ready. The students were helpless when they saw Liu Gen's extremely serious face. They agreed to have less training intensity? It is not a joke to directly cross-country for twenty kilometers, right! The students all knew clearly what it means to cross-country for twenty kilometers, but unfortunately, they did not dare to violate Liu Gen's orders!
"Follow me! No one can fall behind! Those who fall behind will have no lunch!" Liu Gen shouted loudly.
After seeing that the students were all ready, Liu Gen took them to run away, and Li Yunlong and others were not surprised to see Liu Gen leaving with the students. Before Liu Gen was about to take the students to train, he explained to Li Yunlong that such training required Chen Ergou and the soldiers to follow to ensure the safety of the students.
These students were selected from the frontline troops and had some combat effectiveness, but after entering the artillery school, they handed over all the guns in their hands. Without weapons in their hands, if they really encountered the enemy during training, they would have no capital to fight against the enemy at all.
The division commander handed Chen Ergou to Liu Gen to let him be responsible for the safety of the artillery school, including the safety of the students during training.
With Liu Gen's leadership, the students followed Liu Gen's footsteps. After running for a while, they found that they didn't seem too tired to run with Liu Gen. Liu Gen maintained a fixed rhythm. The speed was not fast, so naturally they wouldn't be tired. But the students also knew that the training had just begun and twenty kilometers would take a long time.
Time passed, and as the students continued to run, the students' clothes were wet with sweat, and they could see obvious fatigue on their faces. The physical fatigue made the students unable to keep up with Liu Gen's shoulders, but even so, Liu Gen did not have the slightest idea of slowing down.
"Damn it! I'll keep up!" Liu Gen looked behind him and shouted loudly.
The students gritted their teeth and followed Liu Gen's footsteps again. They looked at Liu Gen's back, which seemed to be unable to feel any fatigue, and they had deep helplessness. Why was Liu Gen, who was running in the front, not at all tired? The students did not understand why Liu Gen had such strong physical strength, and they did not have the energy to find the answer. For them, they only hoped that Liu Gen could stop and rest for a while.
Chapter completed!
