Chapter Forty-Four: Assembling the Troops

  Remember in one second

  During this time, Liu He was very entangled. In the south, it's probably now that the little devils are carrying out a massacre. At first, Liu He was proud of himself for being able to train so many sharpshooters, but in the past few days, he suddenly remembered the great massacre.

  Only then did I feel how incompetent I was. Looking at other fellow travelers, they either brought back golden fingers or came with a golden brain. Some had real industries to save the country, while others developed in the military and showcased their martial talents.

  But as for myself, I'm useless and only know how to torment these laborers and some children, and then I'm proud of training a few sharpshooters. This is truly a failed traversal, bringing shame to fellow traversals.

  Can you lead these hands to the south to rescue people? The answer is naturally whether it is affirmative. These few people, walking halfway, will be destroyed by others, and even the dregs will not be left. It seems that being a big hero is not possible, so it's better to stay local and kill a few more devils.

  。

  "Someone's coming." Liu He suddenly discovered the benefits of being a wealthy landlord. All he had to do was open his mouth and someone would be there to wait on him.

  "Master, what's going on?"

  "Uncle Li, how about you? What about the others?"

  "They're all digging mountain caves now. Aren't they idle again? Some people want to earn a living too."

  "Alright, Uncle Li, gather all the team members here and let the idle villagers dig the mountain cave. I think we should start training now, after all, there's still a long way to go in the future."

  "Doot doot." At some point, each of Li Shu's group had a whistle hung around their chest, while Liu He only had a pair of binoculars hanging from his chest, which were actually confiscated from Song Ben.

  "What's going on, do we have another mission? Where are we ambushing this time?"

  "You ask me, how would I know? I'm just digging tunnels with you. Don't talk, let's listen to what the captain has to say."

  This title is really interesting. Normally, it's all about the boss being long-winded and short-tempered, but once assembled, they'll change their tone to address the team leader.

  "Alright, everyone stop guessing. This gathering doesn't have any combat mission, but I think we need to have a training session. It's my fault for not taking this matter seriously before, Li Lu." "Yes." "You arrange it. Half of the reconnaissance team should be outside on missions, and the other half should come back to participate in labor and training. Otherwise, your people will degenerate. Don't you feel that their physical condition has started to decline? This is the result of not having labor and training."

  Indeed, Liu He recently discovered that the scouts were not as energetic as they used to be when running. At first, he thought it was because they had become numb, but after careful consideration, he realized that their vigilance had actually increased, it's just that their physical strength had begun to decline. This is because during this period of time, the scouts have been mostly appearing in fixed locations, so the distance they need to run has been greatly reduced.

  "Yes, but if the captain withdraws half of our people, our surveillance power will be greatly weakened."

  "This is the second thing I want to say. Our younger team members can take turns to monitor different locations. Your people can withdraw and patrol around. Once something is discovered, we can find out in advance. Besides, having your people do surveillance isn't a waste of their abilities, is it?"

  "The third thing is that I want to organize a big martial arts competition, and in the future, this can become a regular event, held once or twice a year. For now, let's set up four items for the competition, and later we can add more as needed. The audience can invite villagers to watch, and even ask them to be judges."

  。”

  The first item of the martial arts competition is concealment, where everyone goes to the wilderness for camouflage and concealment. Then villagers are invited to search in the wilderness and provide feedback to help them improve.

  The second item is marksmanship, and the targets are moving. Liu He set up dozens of moving targets in a mountain valley based on the enemy's reaction ability. There were people underneath holding, running, or even flipping them over. These moving targets simulated the speed of the enemy, and there were also ordinary people's portraits inside the targets, which represented villagers held hostage by the enemy. In short, all kinds of unexpected situations had to be considered. Five people shot at the same time, each with five bullets. Not only did they have to test their marksmanship, speed, and reaction, but also their coordination. They couldn't let two people shoot at the same target at the same time, nor could they miss a single target. During an ambush, such situations had occurred before, where some enemies were hit by three or four bullets at the same time, while others weren't hit at all. Fortunately, Liu He had arranged for team members to fill in the gaps around them, which prevented any mistakes from happening.

  The third item is a rapid march, and quickly enter the ambush battlefield, which tests the physical strength of the team members, as well as coordination on the road. Perhaps someone may sprain their ankle on the way, in which case they need to be supported by others to move forward quickly without falling behind.

  The fourth item is to assess the ability of the logistics team, to assess their ability to open roads and build bridges when encountering mountains and rivers. Their goal is to ensure that the main force passes through smoothly, without delaying the speed of the march, and they themselves cannot fall behind too much. This actually means that the requirements for logistics personnel are even higher than those for other personnel, with the only exception being marksmanship.

  After this assessment, Liu He wanted to reorganize their team. The team was still divided into four branches, but with different names. The first branch was still the reconnaissance team, which needed to be expanded to 15-20 people. The second branch was the main combat team, which was divided into two groups: Group A and Group B. Both groups had the same function, each requiring 30 people. The third branch was the logistics team, also divided into two groups: Group A and Group B, with 30 people in each group. The fourth branch was the reserve team, a large team that was also divided into two groups: Reserve Group A and Reserve Group B. Reserve Group A was considered a combat group, following the main team's actions, with 40 members. Reserve Group B belonged to the reserve of the reserve, with no limit on personnel, allowing anyone who wanted to join to participate in training and sentry duty.

  However, other team members also need to stand guard and patrol, but their scope is much smaller, only in the mountain cave and around Liu He. The scope of the second group is much wider, covering the entire village and monitoring the surrounding area within a radius of about 10 miles.

  The reconnaissance team had to send personnel twenty miles away, and even if they participated in the battle, there were five people on the outer periphery for reconnaissance.
