Chapter 27: The Xujia Army

  ument.write(

  The new recruits of the Xu family, who had enjoyed a day's rest, repeated their morning running training early in the morning. With a good rest the day before, the spirit on these soldiers' faces was much better. When they finished their morning training and gathered at the door of the cafeteria for breakfast, they suddenly saw a pile of brand new clothes placed in front of the company commander.

  I thought that at this time yesterday, Xu Bin said that today they would let them formally change into their new uniforms and become true soldiers of the Xu family army. These new recruits who had transformed from bandits to soldiers were also looking forward to seeing what they would look like after changing into these new clothes.

  What was even more unexpected was that when Li Chengbing called out their names one by one to receive their military uniforms, Xu Bin actually gave each of them a Longyang coin on the spot. As they looked at the Longyang coins in their hands and their new military uniforms, these former bandits felt respected for the first time and even had a sense of rebirth.

  Even some people, wearing brand new military uniforms and caps, couldn't help but shed tears of excitement. At this moment, they also had the idea of taking this somewhat disorganized Xu family army as their home for the first time.

  After one hundred and eight people received new clothes and military pay from Xu Bin's hands, Xu Bin loudly said: "From today on, you will officially become a soldier in my Xu family army. Remember what I told you before, it's not easy to be a qualified soldier. Your hard work this month, I've seen it all and remembered it in my heart.

  To be honest, many of you have not yet met my requirements for a soldier. Because you are the first batch of soldiers in the Xu family army, in the future you will also become squad leaders, platoon leaders and even higher-ranking officers in the Xu family army. With your current abilities, you still fall far short of the achievements I expect.

  But you all persisted and not one person quit, to be honest I'm very pleased. So today I formally announce the establishment of the Xu Family Army, giving you ten minutes to change into your uniforms. After changing, each company will bring their troops over for dinner. Dismissed!

  With Xu Bin's order, the three company commanders led their respective soldiers back to the dormitory and instructed them to quickly change into their uniforms. These new recruits, who were originally dressed in different clothes, changed into uniform military uniforms and gathered on the drill ground.

  He spent a lot of money to find someone in the city to make it, and Xu Yizhong also felt for the first time the difference between the army and the bandits. Moreover, what surprised him was that before changing clothes, the Xu family's army looked like a miscellaneous army, but after putting on this military uniform, it really made people's eyes shine.

  Although these military uniforms were made of earth-gray cloth, looking at those hats and arm badges, Xu Yizhong also wanted to hurry back and change into his own uniform. Because he felt for the first time that this nephew-trained Xu family army really had a strong military flavor.

  He is now looking forward to the day when this army of Xu's family will end its training and go to battle for the Xu's family. It can be imagined that once this small number of Xu's army is equipped with weapons, it will look absolutely more like an official army than the security camp in Ju Xiang City.

  At this time, if there is someone familiar with the Chinese Red Army uniform, they will definitely recognize that the color of this military uniform is exactly the same as that of the Red Army. If you really want to say what's different, it's just that there is no red five-pointed star on the hat, but an embroidered character "Xu". Even on the sleeve badge of the uniform, the three characters "Xu Family Army" are also embroidered.

  Except for the high-ranking officers who wore four-pocket gray uniforms, the rest of the ordinary soldiers wore two-pocket uniforms. There were no epaulets on their shoulders either, and if there were many soldiers from the Xu family, they could only be distinguished by the pockets on their clothes to tell who was an officer and who was a soldier.

  The reason why no military rank was set on the uniform is that Xu Bin was very clear that once the military rank was hung, they would become a member of the domestic army. This would still cause many inconveniences for the future actions of the Xu family's army, but now these soldiers are wearing this uniform, looking more like a private army.

  Some wealthy merchants in Longhua also provide their private soldiers with uniforms. If there's anything different from the Xu family army, it's that the Xu family army is more like a regular army compared to those private armies.

  The team that came back to eat again, the spirit looked even more like a troop, which made Xu Bin feel that this money was not spent in vain. At least when he saw this slightly immature Xu family army, he found some of the feeling he had when he was in the troops years ago.

  After ordering dinner, Xu Bin also returned to the room and changed into a tailored military uniform. When he walked out of the door, he saw a female soldier walking towards him and was taken aback, staring at her for a while before saying: "Girl, who let you wear this uniform?"

  That's right. The female soldier that Xu Bin saw was Bai Mulan, who started out being bored with watching Xu Bin train soldiers but gradually got used to it.

  When she learned that Xu Yizhong had made clothes for these soldiers, Bai Mulan also asked her second uncle, who was more fond of her, to make a military uniform for her. At first, when the clothes were brought back, she thought the color of the clothes was too ugly.

  After seeing the refreshed Xujiajun soldiers who had changed their clothes, this girl also quickly ran back to her room and put on the same four-pocket military uniform. When she was dressed like those soldiers, wearing canvas shoes and buckling her belt, after turning around twice in front of the mirror, apart from thinking that hat wasn't quite right, suddenly she liked this grey military uniform which at first glance she didn't think much of.

  Wearing this military uniform to show off, Bai Mulan did not expect to run into Xu Bin so soon. Although the two of them have not been quarreling every time they meet like before, many times when they see each other, they also pretend not to see each other and turn their heads to go their separate ways.

  When Xu Bin asked about the clothes with a somewhat petty tone, Bai Mulan also replied with an unpleasant tone: "What, do I need you to control what I wear?"

  Got it!

  Xu Bin, who had just been rejected, thought that this girl looked quite different in the military uniform, especially with the bulging breast pocket, which made him imagine even more!

  Look at this girl, still speaking in the same tone. Xǔ Bīn's eyes rolled and he said: "Don't you know that whoever wears these clothes is my person? You're wearing them now, do you want to be my person too?"

  This statement is not wrong, the Xujia Army itself is Xu Bin's private army, and this military uniform is naturally also a symbol of the Xujia Army. But to say that wearing these clothes makes him the person, it's somewhat too overbearing. Moreover, this was said to a girl.

  Bai Mulan was teased by Xu Bin in a somewhat strong tone: "Cut it out, do you really think I'm eager for this outfit?! If my clothes hadn't been washed yesterday and weren't dry yet, I wouldn't be wearing these tattered clothes! Too lazy to talk to you, I'm going to find Second Uncle to discuss something."

  Before Xu Bin could respond, the two braids were swinging back and forth as she ran towards the mountain village. Looking at this still childlike fiancée, Xu Bin suddenly felt that this little girl, upon careful consideration, didn't seem to be as annoying as he had imagined.

  Of course, her arrogant tone will have to be taught a lesson at some point. Otherwise, this husband of hers will not be able to hold his head up in the future, and that would be too much of an insult to his own dignity as a man.

  Perhaps this is what they mean by "Loli cultivation"! How evil!

  Xu Bin, who had put aside the idea, quickly returned to the training ground. From today on, he would teach these new recruits basic knowledge about firearms. As for marksmanship, he believed that these former bandits would be proficient in it, but maintaining and using a gun well was something they had never really paid attention to before.

  On the first day of receiving firearms training, these bandits who got guns didn't wait for their excitement to pass before Xu Bin arranged for each person to hold a gun and aim for half an hour. Moreover, in front of each person's barrel, there was also a small water bottle filled with water hanging from it. If the new recruit dropped the water bottle on the ground, Xu Bin wouldn't say another word and would directly let that person run two laps around the nearby training field, about five kilometers, before coming back to continue training.

  The new recruits who thought it was easy to hold the rifle at first, only realized how difficult it was when time slowly passed. Especially seeing those who couldn't hold on and dropped their canteens, running with sweat all over their faces on the training ground, these new recruits gritted their teeth and continued to hold onto the rifles in their hands, afraid that the canteen hanging from the gun barrel would fall off.

  Standing, kneeling and prone shooting postures made these bandits who had fired guns before suddenly realize that there were so many rules for shooting. From the initial persistence to gradually understanding that in order to shoot well, one must have clear eyes and steady hands, with hand stability being a key link in improving shooting accuracy.

  After finishing the shooting practice, Xu Bin explained to them several types of domestic standard rifles available in the mountain stronghold, telling them how they differed and how to disassemble and use them. Moreover, he made these new recruits perform their first disassembly and maintenance on their own rifles after each training session. The idea that a gun is a soldier's second life was slowly instilled in them.

  Such training lasted for half a month, and when he saw that most of the new recruits could hold on to their rifles with canteens hanging from them for at least half an hour without dropping them, Xu Bin finally conducted his first live ammunition shooting exercise.

  When these new recruits felt the process of firing again, they found that half a month's training was not in vain. They had a deeper understanding of the performance of the rifles in their hands. At the same time, they also deeply understood that guns were their second life, and maintaining them was more careful than before.

  As box after box of bullets was consumed, the marksmanship of these new recruits improved significantly. Xu Bin issued his first hunting training order in battalion formation. The 35-man platoon was required to leave at dawn and return at dusk, with their scores evaluated based on the amount of ammunition consumed and the harvest of game. The worst-performing platoon would be responsible for washing underwear and socks for the other two platoons.

  With this pressure, those bandits who went into the mountains to hunt were also extremely careful when firing their guns, afraid of wasting bullets. When the first round of hunting training ended, what made Wang Er Gou somewhat angry was that his team actually came in last for the first time.

  Although they didn't consume many bullets, the prey they gained was also not much. As a result, they were surpassed one by one by two battalions that set out later, and they also experienced for the first time since the establishment of the Xu family army, the treatment of washing underwear and dirty socks for others.

  This made Wang Er Zhuo, who had previously promised Xu Bin that they would be the first, scold the soldiers in his platoon severely after coming down. He vowed that next time they conducted hunting training, no matter what, the other two platoons would have to wash their underwear and socks for them, otherwise they would really lose face!
