I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

The second stop was Banqiao Township, where peace had returned and all traces of the battle years ago had been almost cleared. He Chaowu was in charge of the area, and all the remaining land from the two guard posts was distributed to each household. Teams 2 and 4 were stationed here permanently, and 40 people were receiving training here.

The third stop was when they returned to the base on Wuying Street, where the altitude was lower and the temperature was much higher. They returned to Youfangba from Banqiao, followed the Tanjia River all the way to the ferry, crossed the river on a wooden boat, and then went up along the Donghe River. This route was far but safe. If they took Banqiao and went directly through Chenjia Mountain and crossed Huodi Pass, they could reach the destination in 3 hours, but it was dangerous.

At the former Gelaohui base in Wuying, more than a dozen houses have been built. Two earth-walled and wooden houses belong to the school, and the others are oil presses, textiles, and ironware factories. The blacksmith shops of Linshui's family have all been moved to the Wuying base. There are three blacksmith shops here, making weapons and farm tools. The blacksmith shops are already in operation. Recently, due to sufficient raw materials, they work more than 3 hours a day. My father has been in charge here for a long time, so he is very clear about all matters. It seems that it is urgent to open up the main traffic artery of Chenjiashan, otherwise the communication between the two places will be inconvenient and affect development.

Father, they will immediately select 20 people from all the teams and conduct special training for those with special skills such as the best kung fu, the most accurate shooting, the fastest speed, and the most endurance of hardship, he said to his father on his back.

"Why? Will the combat effectiveness of some teams be weakened?" the father asked.

"We need to form a powerful assault team to be responsible for reconnaissance and assault, especially the suppression of bandits in Chenjiashan cannot be delayed any further. I plan to go into the mountain to suppress the bandits at the end of February of the lunar calendar. Now all affairs are being carried out around the suppression of bandits," he continued.

"So how did you train?" the father asked.

"I don't have a specific method, but the training difficulty of this unit is three or four times higher than usual. I will increase their fixed military pay by one dollar per month, give them meat for two days a day, and eliminate at least half of them. That's all I can think of for now. Of course, it would be best to have a few more in the military academy, and I will write the training methods into a booklet. He Chaowu will be the team leader, Huang Kunyang will be transferred to Banqiao, Liu Qingfeng will be in charge of Youfangba affairs, and prepare two hundred dollars as a training fund," said Du Chenyu.

"I will arrange to handle it immediately and gather in Wuying within five days," said the father.

“The sooner the better,” he said.

He Chaowu arrived on the third day. He showed his father the training outline. All subjects were almost three times the current training. Of course, it was done step by step. Combined with some of his food and herbal therapies, the training cost increased by one third, showing the "poor in literature and rich in martial arts" to the fullest. Including bullets, it was estimated that it would cost at least 500 oceans for two months, which was indeed not something that ordinary people could afford.

On the fourth day, 18 people came to the team to participate in the training. Zhou Kui and Wu Quan also came. The military academy students who passed the competition included Zhang Yusheng and Luo Feng. In addition, Hu Laosi, Li Long and He Cunyi were required to participate in the training in batches. Starting from the fifth day, a total of 24 people participated in the training.

The first half was mainly physical training, which was carried out at the Wuyin base, with sandbags, logs, single-log bridges, obstacles to climb, and mud crossing. It was only a few days after the beginning of spring, and the water still turned into ice in the morning, but all the team members rolled around in the mud with their bare chests after the warm-up training.

Of course, only the participants can understand the cruelty of special training. He just basked in the winter sun and observed the performance of all the talents. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the warm-up activities were basic activities such as high leg raising and limb stretching, followed by 30 push-ups and 20 pull-ups. Each person carried a 60-jin sandbag and walked three circles along the single-plank bridge, mud pit, and obstacle course. Breakfast was dry rice, potato chips, and stewed meat soup. In the morning, it was explosive training, running and frog jumping with a 100-jin sandbag. This training ground is about 1 acre. Military academy students also train here, and their training intensity is doubled.

In order to increase their physical strength, he also killed a working ox that day to ensure their protein needs. After the training, they took a bath in the liquid prepared by He Chaowu at night and had a good sleep. They were still able to persist in training the next day.

After my father had explained all the matters, he went to Baizhang Pass to wish his teacher Yang Chaoyi a happy new year, discuss this year's work arrangements, and purchase bullets. Hu Laowu accompanied him and was responsible for safety.

After 15 days of elimination training, three were eliminated, two of whom were injured. In that era, poor people were the least afraid of hardship, so almost all of them persisted. The best performers were the team leaders led by Hu, who had been personally training their bodies from the beginning. After two years of physical training, they all had the physique of regular soldiers.

By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the busy spring ploughing and planting season arrived, and training in various places was reduced by half. Except for the necessary sentry posts, all other personnel carried guns and participated in the spring planting of military settlements. The spring reclamation goals of Youfangba, Baihua and Lanhua must be completed, and each local military settlement must reclaim at least 50 acres of new land.

The special training was evacuated from the Wuyin base to Youfangba, where more training on the use of guns was carried out. This base was located in the mountains, and a shooting base was built deep in the mountains. The standard for rifle shooting was a must-hit at 200 meters, and a hit rate of more than 300% at 50 meters was considered qualified. This standard was actually similar to that of ordinary elite Japanese soldiers, but they were extremely short of bullets, so they could only lower the target.

Through gun target shooting training, three snipers were found to have better talent. He Cunyi, Liu Hua and Luo Feng could almost hit all the fixed targets of 300-400 meters. Of course, He Cunyi was the first to train and shot the most in the past two years.

Shooting training is relatively easy, and it is more about cultivating concentration, perseverance, and patience. A sharpshooter can only be fed by bullets. Currently, the conditions are not met, and we can only guarantee a supply of about 50 rounds of bullets per person, 1-2 rounds per day. This is the bullet consumption for the whole year of last year. The three snipers have increased the amount of bullets individually.

By the end of the month, which was around March, their special training was basically completed, and then they started the field mountain training, including lurking, assassination, cliff climbing, and survival in the wild. These trainings were conducted in the mountains around Lanhuabao. He did not participate and went home for half a month waiting for training news.

The free school at home attracted more than 40 students from the surrounding area. A local man named Zhou Shihua was invited to teach, and Tang Zhihao was responsible for daily affairs and planting dozens of acres of land. Zhang Gou Wa, Zhao Rui, and Liu Hewen's grandson Liu Guo had already entered the Wuyin Military School for training, and Yaya was also studying in the school. He could only play with the dog every day, and a guard was arranged for him to take care of his safety.

When he was free, he discussed with Grandpa Liu Hewen how to increase the power of gunpowder. He asked Grandpa Liu to constantly test the precise proportion of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, and then add a little sugar to try. After their discussion, gunpowder with sugar did increase its power by at least twice, which made Grandpa Liu very excited. However, due to the current limitation of saltpeter materials, the monthly gunpowder production is only about 20 kilograms, which can usually be completed by two people. The new gunpowder with sugar is strictly prohibited from being taken away, and almost all of it is used to make ignition grenades. It seems that the problem of self-pull fuse cannot be solved in a short time.
