This...
Zhang Liang looked at the rifles on the shoulders of the soldiers and the abundance of supplies, his eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face.
"Zhou Ming, you didn't disappoint me. You not only completed the recruitment but also seized so many weapons and supplies."
"Did you loot the puppet army stronghold? Or did you rob the Japanese puppet transport team?"
Zhou Ming chuckled, first letting Gou Sheng lead everyone down to rest.
He then pulled Zhang Liang aside and explained the whole story.
"Captain, do you think our Ninth Squad can be given two guns this time?"
Zhang Liang instantly understood Zhou Ming's intention.
"As you said, this Su Yang is indeed a comrade worth cultivating. For your squad's merits, I agree."
"I didn't expect you to find a treasure. I'll see if this Su Yang is as talented as you said."
"Captain, we'll see!" Zhou Ming smiled confidently.
"I'll go down first."
He then retreated.
......
On the other side.
At this moment, Su Yang experienced the hardships of the Eighth Route Army once again.
There was no dedicated military training ground, and their accommodation was provided by local families.
Through Gou Sheng's introduction, he learned that besides guard duty and training, the squad also needed to help the villagers with their work.
In short, it was work in exchange for accommodation.
Of course, this was also to strengthen the bond between the army and the people.
Our army's success is inseparable from the support of the people.
And the support comes because many soldiers are from poor families, which gives our army an inseparable bond with the common people.
Su Yang and Shui Sheng were assigned to the home of an old grandmother, who was the only one left in the house.
Upon their arrival, she warmly prepared a ‘meal’ to welcome them.
Millet porridge with wild vegetables.
Although very simple, Su Yang felt an unprecedented warmth and happiness.
After a simple ‘meal’, Su Yang helped tidy up the room.
At this time, Zhou Ming walked in.
"Su Yang, Shui Sheng, are you settling in okay?"
Hearing this.
Su Yang and Shui Sheng nodded in unison.
"It's fine."
Shui Sheng said with hatred in his eyes: "As long as we can kill the Japanese, it doesn't matter."
Zhou Ming: "If you want to kill the Japanese, you need to learn your skills first!"
"You come from a hunter background, so you should have some talent in shooting. This time, I specially requested two guns from the Captain for you and Su Yang, one each."
"Guns are a soldier's life. You must take good care of them, absolutely not losing them. Understood?"
"Understood."
Su Yang and Shui Sheng answered in unison.
"Very good." Zhou Ming nodded with satisfaction: "Your primary task now is training."
"Rest well today, we start training tomorrow."
Su Yang, Shui Sheng: "Yes!"
Zhou Ming looked at Su Yang and said: "Come outside for a moment."
Outside the house.
Zhou Ming came outside and whispered: "You know Shui Sheng's situation. You should try to encourage him."
"Can you do that?"
Su Yang nodded: "I'll do my best!"
Zhou Ming encouraged him: "I believe in you. You'll do well."
"Go back and rest."
He then turned and left.
Arranging Su Yang and Shui Sheng to be together was also Zhou Ming's test of Su Yang.
If Su Yang could do a good job, his training chips would increase again.
Su Yang was also a clever person. When he noticed that all the other new recruits were led by veterans, he had a subtle guess.
Furthermore, for the future sharpshooter Shui Sheng, Su Yang also had a bit more respect.
Returning to the room, he saw Shui Sheng grieving and couldn't help but scold him: "Instead of grieving, turn your grief into strength, hone your skills to kill the Japanese."
"Don't let the Japanese kill you before you kill them. If you go to the underworld, how can you face your family?"
After speaking, Su Yang picked up the rifle he just got, went to the doorway, and tied a piece of wood to the muzzle.
Then he raised the gun and aimed.
Shui Sheng watched Su Yang training, his heart deeply moved.
Su Yang, who had just joined the army, had already killed a Japanese soldier, proving everything with his actions.
Along the way, he had also diligently practiced his skills.
Su Yang's spirit and actions directly influenced him.
After thinking for a moment.
Shui Sheng silently picked up the gun and joined the training.
Su Yang glanced at Shui Sheng beside him and felt a sense of relief.
Being able to turn grief into strength, he would surely grow rapidly.
He knew that Shui Sheng had taken the first step.
He would gradually recover later.
Then, Su Yang trained while interacting with Shui Sheng.
Su Yang humbly asked for advice, and Shui Sheng did not hide anything, explaining his hunting techniques and experience one by one.
This made Su Yang feel something, gaining more experience.
To become a sniper, not only must you shoot accurately, camouflage, how to spot the enemy... all are extremely important.
Often, life and death hang in the balance.
Being able to spot the enemy first gains you the advantage, and it gives you a better chance of winning.
From a distance, Zhang Liang and Zhou Ming watched this scene, the two exchanged a glance, and both saw relief in each other's eyes.
Both of them are promising talents, worth cultivating.
Especially Su Yang.
Not only did he have the courage that ordinary people lacked, but he also had an ability that inspired confidence.
But why train like this?
