The next morning at six o'clock.
Iron Bull had already woken up the soldiers for physical training.
In the previous week's training, the soldiers did not undergo physical training.
It was tiring to load and shoot shells, but it could also serve as a bit of physical training.
But in the future, the soldiers would not be so relaxed. Physical training was still quite necessary.
Whether it was the transfer of infantry cannons or the transportation of artillery shells, all of them required the soldiers to have sufficient physical strength.
Besides, Iron Bull knew how many cannonballs there were in the new cluster.
Once the shells were used up and could not be replenished, the soldiers of the artillery company would need to go to the front line to fight.
If it wasn't an emergency, the soldiers of the artillery company wouldn't attack easily. However, the Japanese were so strong, so it was better to be prepared early.
Iron Bull didn't want the artillery company to only be able to fire cannons and not be able to fight the Japanese head-on.
If there were enough cannonballs, Iron Bull wouldn't care too much about this.
Unfortunately, the situation facing the Eighth Route Army was more severe. Not to mention the Japanese, even the national army would suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army to prevent it from growing stronger.
Needless to say, after the War of Resistance against Japan entered a stalemate, the national army made many small moves.
The physical training was relatively simple. He ran five kilometers and did five hundred push-ups. That was not a lot.
In the future, this was how ordinary soldiers were trained. Some special forces had even more training.
However, Iron Bull neglected one thing.
That was that the physical fitness of the warriors could not be compared to the later generations.
Compared to the soldiers of the later generations, the soldiers of the Artillery Company lacked nutrition, which meant that the standards of the later generations could not be used to demand the soldiers of the Artillery Company.
After the five-kilometer cross-country run, Iron Bull could see many soldiers lying on the ground, unable to continue training.
Iron Bull could tell that the soldiers were not trying to slack off. It was their bodies that could not support them to continue training.
After a week of training, Iron Bull had overestimated the physical fitness of the soldiers.
Now that he had seen this happen, he was deeply aware of his own shortcomings. He should not have used the standards of the future to demand the soldiers of the artillery company.
If they wanted the soldiers of the artillery company to have a strong battle, they would undoubtedly need a large amount of nutrition to replenish the consumption of the soldiers.
The food they ate on a daily basis was unable to replenish the soldiers, and the nutrients in it were too little.
Iron Bull had a headache. He opened his personal interface and tried to find a solution from the system.
However, the system did not have a shopping mall page, so it was impossible to buy any supplies.
After a moment of serious thought, Iron Bull thought of the mass production movement that would appear in two years.
Such a large-scale production campaign had greatly improved the predicament of the Eighth Route Army.
Iron Bull couldn't affect the overall situation, but he could organize his own artillery soldiers to reclaim the wasteland.
Under the premise of not affecting training and combat, they should be as self-sufficient as possible.
Even if they couldn't be self-sufficient, they could still get some food to strengthen the physical fitness of the soldiers of the artillery company. Only by eating more could they have physical training.
Iron Bull was a little excited. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.
It was March now, which was suitable for planting. If it was any later, it might affect the planting.
There were many crops that were suitable for planting in Shanxi, such as millet, corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, wheat, Buckwheat, peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and many other vegetables.
It could be said that as long as Iron Bull led the soldiers of the artillery company to reclaim the land in time, they would definitely reap some benefits.
Even if the new regiment wasn't here, they could still be collected by the allied forces.
If it really didn't work, he could let the villagers collect it. The villagers should be very willing.
Thinking of the villagers in the village, Iron Bull had a new idea.
The new regiment could work with the villagers to plant crops, and the soldiers could reclaim the land and distribute seeds to the villagers.
The crops would be handed over to the villagers to take care of. When the time came, it should be feasible to give the villagers a certain amount of food as compensation.
There might not be many villagers in a village, but the new regiment had three battalions and more than a thousand soldiers. If the soldiers were spread out, the number of villagers that could be mobilized would increase.
Iron Bull was a little excited. He was sure that his idea was feasible.
What he needed to do now was to gain the support of Ding Wei, the regiment commander.
Without Ding Wei's support, Iron Bull could only lead the soldiers of the artillery company to do this. There would be some gains, but it would not affect the overall situation.
The earlier he planted it, the more he would reap later.
Even if the 8th Route Army only allocated a portion of their soldiers to do this, it would still allow the soldiers to eat more and their physical fitness to improve.
It could even be said that if everything went smoothly, he could consider raising pigs and ducks. Shanxi was very hilly, so he could completely open up a secret place to raise pigs and chickens.
After breakfast and letting the soldiers train on their own, Iron Bull quickly walked towards the regimental headquarters.
He wanted to find Ding Wei and tell him his thoughts so that he could get his regiment commander's support as much as possible.
Arriving at the regiment headquarters, Iron Bull walked into the room and saw Ding Wei just starting to eat breakfast.
As the regiment commander, Ding Wei's breakfast was similar to the soldiers ', except for an extra serving of salted vegetables.
Ding Wei was a little surprised to see Iron Bull.
At this time, shouldn't Iron Bull be leading the soldiers of the artillery company for training?
? "Buff, have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat together?" Ding Wei asked with a smile.
Iron Bull shook his head." Leader, I've already eaten. You can have it."”
"Niu Zi, do you have something to say?”
Ding Wei looked at Iron Bull and saw the strange expression on Iron Bull's face. He put down his chopsticks.
"Guild Leader, it's not too late to wait until you finish eating.”Iron Bull said.
Ding Wei picked up his chopsticks and put them down.
"Niu Zi, you should just say it directly. What you said should be very important. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to find me so early.”
"It's like this, Regiment Commander. This morning, I brought the soldiers of the artillery company to train. After five kilometers of cross-country training, many soldiers collapsed to the ground.”
"This kind of training isn't too intense, but the soldiers just can't take it. Their physical fitness is too weak.”
"When we fought with the Japanese, I realized that the soldiers 'skills were not bad, but they were no match for the Japanese. The Japanese won because of their physical fitness.”
"The Japanese soldiers have been drinking milk and eating meat since they were young. Their physical fitness is much stronger than ours. If we want to win in a bayonet fight with the Japanese, we can't just blindly train our skills.”Iron Bull said in a deep voice.
Ding Wei nodded. He knew this.
"Niu Zi, I know this, but you also know that our new regiment doesn't have much resources. Even if we supply the soldiers with everything we have, we won't be able to last for long.”
"Our new group is like this, let alone the other groups. If you have any ideas, just say it.”
Looking at Iron Bull, Ding Wei was filled with anticipation. Perhaps Iron Bull could give him a little surprise.
