On the day he received Zhao Gang's letter, Wei Shanhe brought the monk back to the independent regiment's station in Xu Village.
The moment he returned to the regiment headquarters, Wei Shanhe knew that the headquarters had moved to Chenjiayu.
He also learned about the details of the National Military Officer Observation Mission to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
At the same time, Wei Shanhe also saw Chu Yunfei.
As a soldier, Wei Shanhe actually liked soldiers like Chu Yunfei, a pure soldier, without considering his position.
He admired Chu Yunfei's national righteousness and also admired his military talent.
In Li Yunlong's words, Chu Yunfei was definitely a man of indomitable spirit in the national army.
Moreover, judging from Chu Yunfei's performance in the later stages of the Sword Drawing, he also had a good strategic vision. However, the ship that Old Jiang was on was too old and leaking everywhere. No matter how many people like Chu Yunfei were there, they could prevent Old Jiang from sinking the ship.
However, Chu Yunfei's arrival also made Wei Shanhe feel like he could smell gunpowder in the air.
In the Independent Regiment's training range, Wei Shanhe accompanied Chu Yunfei to sit in the straw shed beside the shooting range. They drank fruit juice and watched the Independent Regiment soldiers training.
The shooting range occupied a large area, and the surroundings were all sealed off with fences. It could accommodate up to a thousand soldiers for shooting training at the same time.
The shooting range was filled with gunshots all the time. It was not a suitable place for an exchange.
However, Chu Yunfei had requested to come and watch the shooting training of the Independent Regiment, and the headquarters had also instructed them to treat him well for the sake of the two armies working together to resist the Japanese.
Just like Li Yun Long and Zhao Gang, Chu Yun Fei quickly got closer to Wei Shan He. The two of them immediately addressed each other as Brother Chu and Brother Wei. Although the age gap between the two was not small, Chu Yun Fei, who admired Wei Shan He's ability, did not mind calling him Brother Wei.
"Brother Wei, the amount of bullets you've used up is no less than the amount of bullets you've used in several battles.”
From the moment he entered the Independent Regiment's base, Chu Yunfei could hear the intense gunfire coming from the shooting range from afar. Until now, when he saw thousands of Independent Regiment soldiers using up a large number of bullets as if they were free, even though Chu Yunfei was knowledgeable, he still found it unbelievable.
Was this still the 8th Route Army with outdated equipment?
Each soldier had a 38-foot gun and an ammunition box. Each soldier had 200 rounds of ammunition per day. If they did not finish firing within the stipulated time, they would be punished.
When did the Eighth Route Army become so rich?
Could it be that they had robbed the Japanese Munitions Factory in Taiyuan?
"I'd rather the soldiers use up tens of millions of bullets in the training ground than to see the soldiers on the battlefield using 100 bullets to kill an enemy. My request is that every soldier can reach the level of an elite archer.”
Wei Shanhe explained,""Elite shooters are basically the sharpshooters of the Japanese infantry. They need to be able to hit the enemy with one shot from 400 meters away.”
Such a high standard was not an easy thing to achieve. For those soldiers without talent, they might need to use countless bullets to reach that level.
This was not a level that could be achieved in a short period of time. Therefore, such exhausting training had to be carried out for a long time.
Chu Yunfei himself was an expert in using guns, and his own evaluation of himself was only about the same as the elite archer Wei Shanhe mentioned.
Moreover, there were many complicated factors on the battlefield. It wasn't just good marksmanship that could really kill the Japanese. A soldier's mental endurance for war had a great impact on a soldier's marksmanship in actual combat.
After all, the battlefield was not a shooting range. On the battlefield, one had to face a hail of bullets and the enemy's artillery fire. In such an environment, there was no safe environment for one to have enough time to aim.
This required the soldiers to not only have superb marksmanship, but also a strong psychological quality.
"This is very difficult to achieve."
Chu Yunfei said it tactfully. In fact, in his opinion, such training was a waste of bullets.
However, what Chu Yunfei did not know was that Wei Shanhe did not care about the consumption of bullets at all. He only cared about the result.
"Where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you work hard and study hard, nothing is impossible.”Wei Shanhe said nonchalantly.
"After hearing Brother Wei's words, I believe that Brother Wei's success today is not a coincidence. If all the officers in the national army had the same mentality as Brother Wei, how could the Japanese show off their might in China?”Chu Yunfei said seriously.
"Brother Chu, you flatter me." Wei Shanhe said.
At this point, Chu Yunfei looked around. When he saw that there was no one else, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Wei Shanhe."Brother Wei, this is a letter personally written by the chairman.”
Wei Shanhe looked at the words on the envelope that said to open it gently. He took it very naturally, tore open the seal, and pulled out a white letter.
This was a letter from Old Jiang. First, he praised Wei Shanhe and thanked him for getting rid of Wang Jingwei, which prevented more compatriots from killing each other when they were surrounded by foreign enemies.
The intention of the letter was quite obvious. It offered a major general, a division commander, or even a lieutenant general, and various benefits.
Chu Yunfei, who saw the contents of the letter from the corner of his eye, was shocked by Old Jiang's generosity.
In the end, Wei Shanhe just smiled and put the letter away. He said to Chu Yunfei,""Look at this chairman. He doesn't even know how to solve the practical difficulties of our troops. He just gave us some verbal thanks and rewards.”
Chu Yunfei was not in the mood to listen to Wei Shanhe's nonsense. He asked directly,""Brother Wei, what do you mean? I've never seen the principal spend so much effort to win over someone.”
"Thank you for your kind offer, Chairman. I, Wei Shanhe, only want to fight the Japanese. In fact, the 18th Army is part of the national army's combat sequence. There's no need to divide it between you and me. If you really want to give me benefits, you don't have to go through so much trouble.”
Wei Shanhe pursed his lips and continued,""But then again, the Independent Regiment is not on the list of the Ministry of National Defense. If I make another contribution one day, I don't know where the chairman will reward me!”
