Later, when I thought about it, Wang Xuexin also felt that soldiers like Mao Duzi might be born suitable for mountain troops... He was a hunter and hunted on the mountain with his father since he was a child.

Hunters of this era are not simple at all. They didn’t say that they would go up the mountain and return in the evening that day, such hunters often could only catch some small animals nearby.

The outstanding hunters are taking dry food for a few days deep into the jungle, sleeping in the forest in the open, tracking valuable targets' feces, footprints, and even smells, etc. to find their nests and set up an ambush, and then have a "big harvest".

So looking at the map to find points, distinguishing directions, and survival in the wild are all a piece of cake for them.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin was a little strange. He asked Mao Duzi: "Where are you behind? Is it embarrassing to win a third prize?"

The cat suddenly turned red and replied awkwardly: "Battery Commander, this...is not bad for us. I recognize fewer words than others, and the rest are the best!"

"Who won the championship?" Wang Xuexin was a little curious.

The cat searched in the crowd and shouted at a warrior with a scar on the corner of his eyes: "Lao Qi..."

The soldier, known as Lao Qi, hurriedly ran up and stood up to salute Wang Xuexin and said, "Report to the battalion commander, Lao Qi report!"

"You're the one who is Lao Qi?" Wang Xuexin felt a little incredible.

"Battery Commander!" Lao Qi explained with a smile: "My surname is Rao. My name is Rao. I am ranked seventh at home, so I named Rao Qi. My comrades call me Lao Qi!"

Wang Xuexin said "Oh". What Lao Qi said just now was indeed "Rao Qi" report, and he habitually listened to it as "old".

But it is still more convenient for "Lao Qi".

"I heard you won the championship in the Grand Tournament?" Wang Xuexin asked.

"Battery Commander!" Lao Qi replied modestly and appropriately: "I worked as the guerrilla captain behind enemy lines for three years, and then promoted to the captain of the armed forces team behind enemy lines. I often do the competition, so I took a little advantage and won a little bit of it!"

Wang Xuexin nodded. It was indeed extremely dangerous to organize guerrillas behind enemy lines. They often hid in the mountains, had no food or received a task and went down the mountain to contact the liaison officer. They often did things like looking at pictures or ambushing and attacking.

If you are not smart enough and have no ability, you are afraid you won’t live now, let alone be the captain.

"Very good!" Wang Xuexin said: "So from now on, Lao Qi will be the company commander, and Mao Duzi will be the deputy company commander! But it is only a tentative decision. If you can't do it well, you will go back to the original army. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Lao Qi and Mao Duzi answered in unison.

But Mao Duzi hesitated and asked again: "Battery Commander, if I go back to the original army...will it be our fifth company?"

Wang Xuexin glared at the cat hard and replied, "Then you don't stay alone in the fifth company. Stay wherever you are cool!"

This made me stunned.

This won’t work. If you can’t even stay in the fifth company, won’t you have to go back to the guard company? That’s so embarrassing!

At the same time, Mao Duke secretly regretted it. He wouldn't have talked too much if he had known it!

What are you asking?

Isn’t it good to go back to the original army and be a correspondent?

Then Wang Xuexin gathered the team and said a few words: "Comrades, you are all soldiers selected from various troops, but maybe you don't know what to do when you gather here. Because of confidentiality, you don't need to know what you are going to do. But I can tell you very responsibly that your future training and combat will be very difficult and even dangerous. It's still time to withdraw now, is there anyone withdrawing?"

As soon as the words were finished, the soldiers answered unanimously: "No!"

This can be said to be expected.

When it comes to hardship, no unit can compare to the Eighth Route Army, especially they are elites selected by thousands of people from the Eighth Route Army.

So what Wang Xuexin said just now was to make them mentally prepared.

Then on the first day, these team members realized what hardship is...

Wang Xuexin took them to the back mountain two miles away, then raised his head to a deserted forest, and said, "This is your camp!"

Lao Qi was stunned when he heard this: "Battery Commander, but... there is nothing..."

"I know!" Wang Xuexin interrupted Lao Qi: "If you have everything, what else do you want?"

The cat interrupted: "Battery Commander, you must have a stutter. We didn't bring anything when we came out!"

"I'll think of a solution!" Wang Xuexin said as he took out a steamed bun from his backpack and started chewing it with the boiling water in the water shell.

The steamed bun tastes really not very good, dry, astringent, and hard, almost like unfermented steamed buns.

But it's much better than being hungry if you don't have anything to eat.

So Lao Qi and Mao Duzi understood that this was the first hurdle, survival in the wild.

And this is just the beginning. Wang Xuexin believes that a qualified mountain force can at least survive for a week without food and maintain combat effectiveness.

So, now is the time for them to learn to "rely rely on the mountains and eat the mountains".

Some of them do, some don't.

Some people also have different opinions and experiences.

Only in this extreme environment can they learn this knowledge quickly.

But this seems to be difficult for them.

Mao Duzi divided the team members into four parts and arranged them in four directions.

This is very clever because it can avoid the problem of repeatedly searching for food: food in the same area has been searched by one team, and it may be searched by another team, and then there is another team... This is a waste of time and useless work.

Now, the cat divides it into four parts and searches for food in four different directions, which maximizes the food that can be found for the entire team.

Then Lao Qi subdivided each group, and each group of ten people moved in different directions, and each group ensured that one could identify wild vegetables, wild fruits, and the other had the ability to hunt.

This surprised Wang Xuexin.

But when I think about it, I feel normal... As for the Eighth Route Army, I hunt and dig wild vegetables when I am hungry, and there are quite a few people who can survive in the wild.

However, Wang Xuexin seems to have never been hungry when he comes to this world.

Wang Xuexin recalled and felt that it was not because the Eighth Route Army did not lack food, but because he had made many military achievements. The kitchen team always gave him a small kitchen openly and secretly, stuffing a steamed bun today and a few corn cakes tomorrow... This seems to be common to Wang Xuexin, but I don’t know how many soldiers envied him.

Just as Wang Xuexin was thinking about it, the cat came back with a branch carrying a few mountain rats as thick as fists. He shouted excitedly: "Battery Commander, I found a mountain rat nest, and I will have a good time tonight!"

Wang Xuexin was a little helpless. It seemed that this subject was indeed difficult for them.
