Chapter 006: The Troop's Intensive Training

  "What you're saying is wrong, we may not be a regular army now and don't have any legitimate designation, but as long as we don't think of ourselves as bandits, we aren't bandits! Besides, we are currently an anti-Japanese force, if we don't organize our troops properly, how can we coordinate during battles? Do you think dealing with the Japanese is like dealing with those fat sheep, that just by showing off guns they'll surrender?" Facing Meng Xiangfei's words, Murong Wude couldn't help but feel his crudeness and severe lack of knowledge.

  This was in the battle with the Japanese devils, the ferocity of the devils he had seen from both historical records and personal experience, so before making adequate preparations, he absolutely dared not joke about the lives of several thousand people in Tianzhuang Village. Therefore, he felt that it was necessary to organize a team similar to the regular army for convenient deployment and training.

  Although there is not much time left for him now, the devils may launch an attack on Yunyang Mountain at any time, but for now, he can gather as many people as possible to train.

  "Are you looking down on us bandits?" Guo Erwa said immediately after hearing Murong Wude's words, it seems that he couldn't accept the way Murong Wude was handling their training. These bandits were used to being lazy and free all the time, they couldn't stand any constraints. If they were asked to fight against the Japanese devils, they might do so out of righteous indignation, but they wouldn't understand the grand principles of resisting Japan and saving the nation.

  "It's not that I look down on you, it's that you don't even respect yourselves!" Murong Wudei really had nothing more to say. He simply couldn't imagine what kind of combat capabilities this team possessed. If they didn't receive further training and organization, making the entire several thousand-strong team fight against the enemy like a single person, the final outcome would only be to become cannon fodder. If that's the case, it's better to just let them continue living in ignorance within these great mountains.

  "Enough, Guo Erwa! Director Murong is right. We're fighting against the little devils, not those wealthy merchants who will settle everything as long as we show them our guns. Since we agreed to follow Director Murong's orders, let's go fight the devils together and shed this bandit skin off our bodies. What's wrong with being part of the Yunyang Mountain Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Troop?"

  Anyway, Murong Wudi's original intention was good, fighting against the devils to protect one side of peace is not wrong, based on this point, she can also let Murong Wudi go and cause trouble as he pleases. However, there is one thing, if this kid says one thing but does another, she will be the first to not let him off, so she stopped Sun Erwazi from continuing to speak, instead showing support in front of her subordinates and scolding him thoroughly, making everyone understand that now is the time to accept reorganization and must follow orders.

  "The troops must be trained, I don't want them to become cannon fodder on the battlefield. As the head of the household, I hope you can understand!" Murong Wudei said in front of Ye Zhanju, "This is also a forced situation, there are tens of thousands of devils outside, if we don't build an iron team, we won't be able to fight against the devils here and won't be able to avenge the tens of millions of innocent people in Nanjing!"

  "General Murong, rest assured, I understand what is meant by the greater good of the nation!" Ye Zhanhua said, taking a stand in front of Murong Wu Di.

  "Alright, now you immediately come up with a list of all personnel in Tianyuan Village, and then you organize it yourself. Quickly dispatch them to your troops, and arrange those with special talents in the Special Operations Team. They will play a crucial role at critical moments!" Murong Wudi saw that Ye Zhanhua did not object to his suggestion, so he continued to speak. Letting Ye Zhanhua handle the Tianyuan Village matter was much better than him handling it himself, and he knew this point clearer than anyone else. Therefore, during the formation of this new troop, he tried his best to satisfy Ye Zhanhua's prestige.

  "It's... " Before, Ye Xiang had never thought that she would one day become a traveler, this was something she hadn't even dared to dream of in her lifetime.

  "Zhao Changyou, I want you to arrange for Hu Pai to come over and take charge of training the new brothers in the first battalion. Teach them some combat skills, bayonet fighting, and mental toughness that they need to master on the battlefield. I want them to be ready for battle in the shortest time possible!" Murong Wudi immediately assigned tasks to Zhao Changyou, handing over the responsibility of training this group of bandits to Hu Pai. "Also, you personally go back and tell the brothers to rest and wait for orders, and send two brothers to closely monitor the enemy's movements!"

  "What about you?" Zhao Changyou heard that Murong Wudei had arranged everything properly, but he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving with him, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried and asked Murong Wudei.

  "I'll stay in the new regiment for the time being, and my command will also be placed here. If there's anything, you can come directly to report!" Murong Wude had no intention of leaving at all, because he wanted to help Hu Pai, the deputy commander who had newly formed a regiment, train well, and make this team a strong army that could fight hard on the battlefield.

  "But there's no one by your side, I'm worried..." Zhao Changyi said with concern as soon as he heard this. These were all ruthless bandits who killed without blinking an eye, and although they had been reorganized, many of them still harbored resentment. With Murong Wuji alone here, without any guards to protect him, if something unexpected happened, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  "How can you say that I have no one by my side? These new brothers are all my brothers, with them around me what problem could I possibly have? You just go and do your thing!" Murong Wudi didn't even plan on listening to these words, he deeply understood the principle of using people without suspicion. If he didn't believe in these people's words, why would they listen to his commands to go fight, why would they entrust their lives into his hands?

  "Yes!" Zhao Changyou knew that once Murong Wudi had made up his mind, it was impossible to change it, so he could only agree and leave first. He responded with a "yes", then turned around and stood up, continuing to walk forward.

  The next day, the new recruits' training work went ahead as scheduled. Deputy Commander Hu was indeed a regular army veteran and did a great job with this military training, looking like a real deal. However, Murong Wude knew that these bandits were familiar with shooting, running, and endurance, which were all routine for them. These things didn't need much training, the main focus of the training was on assassination and tactical coordination.

  Just at this time, Zhao Chang hurriedly came to the front of Murong Wudi and said: "Report, it's not good! A troop has appeared in our pre-set ambush point and is building fortifications!"

  Because he was panting heavily, he came running all the way, so his words were unclear, and after saying this, he continued to breathe heavily.
