Uegaya, the 7th Infantry Division's camp.
While Yuan Baocen was plotting against the Chinese in Yanjing, Jiang Baili, Zhang Xiaozhun and the others had already recruited enough soldiers for the 7th Infantry Division.
The entire 7th Infantry Division had a total of 28,000 soldiers, and they had all been recruited.
These troops were stationed in several military camps on the outskirts of Shanggu. Under the arrangements of Jiang Baili, Zhang Xiaozhun, and the others, they had already begun training.
"F * ck! I was a step too late yesterday. The buns were all snatched by those animals and I only drank two bowls of white porridge. No matter what, he was going to get two big meat buns today!”
The soldiers of the 25th Regiment of the 13th Brigade of the 7th Infantry Division were doing their morning training.
Although the weapons and equipment had not arrived yet, the soldiers carried stones weighing ten kilograms on their backs for training.
In this era, where there was no such thing as a mechanized army, the soldiers had to rely on their legs to march or fight. Therefore, physical training was very necessary.
In addition, the soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division were mostly recruited from the refugees, so they were already very weak. If he didn't strengthen his training, his stamina wouldn't reach the required level.
Yuan Baocen didn't want his troops to be killed by the short Japanese soldiers when they fought with the Japanese army in the future.
The soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division had tough training.
In the morning, there was porridge and big meat buns.
However, the number of meat buns was limited. If they were slow, all the meat buns would be snatched away. Then he could only drink white porridge.
This boosted the morale of the soldiers. Even if it was just to eat a steaming hot and fragrant meat bun, they had to run for their lives!
At noon, they had steamed buns, braised pork, pickled vegetables, or fresh vegetables.
In the evening, it was rice with fried meat or beef noodles.
Occasionally, he would even get some fruits as a snack.
This kind of food definitely surpassed the other troops of the Northern Army.
This also made the simple soldiers feel grateful to Yuan Baocen. They worked even harder during training.
After half a month, most of the soldiers 'physical fitness had improved significantly. There were even some muscles on his thin body.
"Deputy Division Commander, Chief of Staff, it seems that the training during this period of time has been very effective.”Yuan Baocen was very satisfied with the change in the troops.
"Yes, teacher. Putting everything else aside, in terms of physical strength, our 7th Division soldiers are no weaker than the 6 towns of Beiyang. After the weapons and equipment arrived, if they were to further strengthen their training, they would definitely be able to become a top-tier army in China in a short period of time.”Jiang Baili was more and more satisfied with this army. He was very proud of himself as he watched the army gradually take shape in his hands.
"The weapons and equipment will arrive soon. According to the information from the diplomatic mission, the transport ship that transported the weapons and equipment passed through the Suez Canal three days ago. It was estimated that it would arrive in Jin Wei in half a month to twenty days.”
"That's good. After the weapons and equipment arrive, the other training can be carried out.”Jiang Baili was very excited.
"Don't worry. I'll think of a way to get the money.”Yuan Baocen said.
"Alright then!" Hearing Yuan Baocen's words, Zhang Xiaozhun could only say nothing more.
Half a month later, the weapons and equipment purchased from Dé Country arrived in Upper Valley.
The 7th Infantry Division began to receive the equipment.
The infantry's live ammunition shooting training, the artillery's shooting training, and the coordination of infantry and artillery were also carried out.
In order to improve the soldiers 'marksmanship, Yuan Baocen forced every soldier to shoot at least 50 rounds a week.
Of course, the consumption of ammunition was huge. However, marksmanship relied on bullets. If they didn't have more live ammunition training, could they still count on the soldiers to shoot the enemy accurately on the battlefield?
Yuan Baocen knew very well that the Japanese soldiers were very accurate. It was almost impossible for the troops of other countries to surpass the Japanese army in this aspect.
Yuan Baocen hoped that his soldiers would at least be able to fight back even if they could not compete with the Japanese army in this aspect!
Both Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaozhun supported Yuan Baocen's request. They had studied in the Japanese Army's Sergeant School and had a deep understanding of the marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers.
Yuan Baocen also needed to find new sources of income. Otherwise, the 7th Infantry Division's follow-up training would not be able to continue.
