Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 9 Throwing Training
Although Li Yunlong had just arrived at the independent regiment, he still knew something about Wang Gensheng. Kong Jie had said before that the two Japanese soldiers were killed by a grenade thrown by Wang Gensheng.

"The new throwing method needs to be promoted to the entire group. Okay! But first, you have to let me see the effect of your new throwing method!"

So Wang Gensheng once again took Li Yunlong to the village entrance to see for himself. Maybe because he was hit by Wang Gensheng last time, this time Wang Gensheng directly smashed the tree as thick as his arm, which was 80 meters away from the village entrance, with a stone.

"it is good!"

After seeing Wang Gensheng's throwing skills with his own eyes, Li Yunlong also applauded Wang Gensheng's throwing skills. Then Li Yunlong also learned it. Under Wang Gensheng's guidance, Li Yunlong mastered the baseball throwing method in less than an hour.

"Okay! Wang Gensheng, I now appoint you as our independent regiment's grenade throwing instructor. You will be responsible for teaching us this grenade throwing technique!"

········
Following the order of the regimental commander Li Yunlong, all the soldiers in the regiment were gathered together the next day to begin learning this baseball throwing method.

"Hey! Hey! I'm talking to you! Why are you so stupid? I told you not to use your arms first. Wait until the power from your hips is transferred to your arms, then use your arms to exert force. It won't work at all!"

Wang Gensheng was very angry and shouted at a person with uncoordinated hands and feet, even though Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao learned how to throw a baseball in just one hour yesterday.

But when Wang Gensheng was teaching the whole group today, he found that many people's hands, feet and bodies were not on the same channel when learning this throwing method, and their coordination was very poor.

For example, the person Wang Gensheng mentioned hadn't even turned his waist yet, and the power from his waist hadn't been transferred to his arms, but he had already thrown the stone in his hand out.

Just when Wang Gensheng wanted to curse a few more times, Zhao Gang came over and said to Wang Gensheng:
"Comrade Wang Gensheng, be patient when teaching your comrades. Don't insult them casually. They are all your comrades."

Wang Gensheng did not dare to disobey Zhao Gang's words. After all, even though Wang Gensheng was now a platoon leader, compared with Zhao Gang, there were still deputy company leader, company leader, deputy battalion leader, battalion leader, deputy regiment leader, and regiment leader, which was Zhao Gang's current position. As the political leader of the independent regiment, Zhao Gang was naturally at the regiment level. Therefore, there was a difference of six levels between Wang Gensheng and Zhao Gang!
So Wang Gensheng immediately stood at attention and said:

"It's Zhao Zhengwei. I promise not to insult you again!"

Of course, Zhao Gang's words also reminded Wang Gensheng. When Wang Gensheng was working in his previous life, he had a verbal conflict with a colleague, and this petty-minded colleague almost caused him to resign. So sometimes you must never underestimate people's hearts.

After all, Wang Gensheng still knew the meaning of the idiom story "Yang Zhen Sham Geng", so in the following training, Wang Gensheng began to teach separately.

That is, the soldiers who had already learned how to throw a baseball began to practice accuracy.

Wang Gensheng started from 30 meters, and added a basket every ten meters. As long as he could throw it in nine times out of ten, he would move on to the next distance of basket practice.

After all, if you can throw a grenade accurately into a basket, then you can naturally throw a grenade accurately into a trench.

There are quite a few people in the entire independent regiment who have a talent for throwing. On the first day, there were more than a dozen soldiers in the entire independent regiment who could hit nine out of ten shots from a distance of sixty meters.

I believe that after a period of training and becoming familiar with the baseball throwing method, at least one platoon or even a company of soldiers in the entire independent regiment will be able to reach this level.

Just when Wang Gensheng was training the entire regiment in throwing, Li Yunlong called Kong Jie to the regiment headquarters.

As soon as Kong Jie arrived, Li Yunlong smiled and said to Kong Jie:
"Less than fifty kilometers. Oh my god, we're rich!"

"What good news makes you so happy?" Facing Kong Jie's puzzlement, Li Yunlong explained:

"Ding Wei's gift! This guy is really nice. He gave me a cavalry battalion. It's in Wanjia Town, the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Huang Association. It was originally a security regiment. In terms of combat effectiveness, it's not even second-rate. Ever since they became traitors, they've become more sophisticated and set up a cavalry battalion. It really makes me fucking mad!"

After hearing Li Yunlong's explanation, Kong Jie was also moved and said:
"Such a good thing, Lao Li, let's do it!"

"Of course, if the meat is right in front of us, why not eat it? We'll use a whole battalion to kill him!"

Li Yunlong called Kong Jie over because he wanted to take over this cavalry battalion, so he naturally agreed.

Kong Jie looked at the map on the table and suggested to Li Yunlong:

"Run fifty kilometers and launch a sudden attack. If we do it right, we can finish the battle in two hours. How about I lead the team, Old Li?"

There was no other way. Kong Jie, who had just suffered a major defeat, naturally wanted a victory to prove himself.

"Why? You're just dreaming. Who's the leader between us?"

But Li Yunlong didn't want to agree so easily. Seeing that Li Yunlong actually wanted to go by himself, Kong Jie got anxious and immediately said:

"Li Yunlong, how can you take my kindness for granted? Mobilizing an entire battalion of troops without telling your superiors is no small matter. If they blame us, we'll both be in big trouble! Do you think I'm trying to steal your credit?"

But Li Yunlong didn't buy it at all, instead he said:

"Kong Erlangzi, let's be clear about this. These hundreds of horses are not a pack of cigarettes. Whoever smokes them will smoke them. Although you and I are brothers from the same class, I think it's better for us to settle accounts with each other. Let me be clear, you, the deputy commander, are just a wheat picker doing temporary work here. You may be transferred out one day and become the regular. Let me be frank with you. When the time comes, don't try to take these hundreds of horses from me!"

There was naturally a reason why Li Yunlong said this. As the Eighth Route Army grew stronger after entering the enemy-occupied areas, it was naturally impossible for a regiment to have several thousand or even tens of thousands of troops.

So there were the New 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and even the New 2nd Regiment.

You have to know that when the Eighth Route Army was first established, there were only two regiments under the 386th Regiment: the 772nd and the 771st Regiment!
Therefore, the superiors would divide the regiments when the number of people in each regiment was about the same, that is, they would draw some backbones and soldiers from other regiments to form a new regiment.

For example, this is how Kong Jie’s new second regiment came about.

The reason why Li Yunlong said this was naturally because he was afraid that Kong Jie would divide up the horses when he left, so he wanted to kill him in advance so that Kong Jie would not be able to ask for them again.

Kong Jie had no choice but to agree to this. After all, dividing the group was a matter for the future. Now Kong Jie mainly needed military merits to wash away his shame.

So after the deal was reached, Kong Jie found Wang Gensheng the next day and asked Wang Gensheng to suspend the training of the first battalion in the afternoon.

Wang Gensheng naturally thought of the story of Wanjiazhuang, so he asked speculatively:
"Why? Captain Kong, is the First Battalion planning any action?"
