Chapter 132 Jinnan National Defense University
Li Yunlong decided to let Jia Guier return to Pingshun County and find an opportunity to continue to serve as the captain of the detective team and become a thorn in the enemy's intelligence.
The most important thing is that he can use the identity of the detective team to move freely in the Japanese-occupied area, making it more convenient to recruit people in the Northeast.
I thought Jia Guier would disagree, but I didn't expect him to agree so readily.
"Since the column trusts me so much, I will definitely live up to their expectations!"
"When our military industrial base is completed, we will bring you back with drums and gongs!"
Zhao Gang assigned a squad of scouts to provide close protection for Jia Guier, and to evacuate immediately in case of any emergency.
After hearing about this, Li Yunlong and Wang Meng were invited to attend a grand celebration of the Independent Column.
Winter of 1941, the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month.
In front of the Taihang Mountain Base, graduation ceremonies were held for the Infantry School, Artillery School and Tank School.
This is the first batch of graduating students after the Independent Column officially opened various schools.
At that time, a one-year study system was formulated. During this year, there was no rest at all. We practiced day and night and devoted all our efforts to study.
Moreover, it is not just academic performance that is assessed, but also physical fitness and actual combat. The graduation standards in particular are based on actual combat exercises.
It’s all about winning!
The artillery school and the infantry school were staffed not only by soldiers from the independent column, but also by soldiers sent from various regiments of the 386th Brigade.
The tank school is composed of cultural soldiers selected from various infantry regiments by the independent column.
There are more than 1,200 students in the three schools together.
Li Yunlong looked at the graduating students in the audience, who were wearing neat desert camouflage uniforms, with satisfaction in his eyes.
"First of all, on behalf of the Independent Column, I would like to congratulate you on your successful graduation. In the future, you will all become officers in various units! I only have one request for you, which is to always remember that you are a soldier and not do anything that is humiliating to your military identity!"
Li Yunlong paused, and the energetic officers burst into thunderous applause.
"I won't wish you smooth sailing. In this era, as soldiers, we have the mission of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and we will encounter all kinds of difficulties! However, no matter what kind of enemy we face, whether the outcome is life or death, we must dare to draw the sword!"
The applause was thunderous and lasting.
After the graduation ceremony, all the students received a 92 pistol and rounds of ammunition as a graduation gift.
Then, everyone boarded the vehicles and was sent to various troops by the independent column transport company.
Li Yunlong stood on the platform with his hands behind his back, watching the fresh blood being injected into various troops, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Mengzi, Instructor Lin is still far-sighted. These educated soldiers are like sparks, scattered to various troops to improve combat effectiveness. This kind of fundamental change cannot be brought about by simply upgrading equipment!"
"Yes, it is equally important to arm your mind with the most advanced combat concepts! By the way, Commander Li, Shu Bing said he is waiting for us at the Taihang Mountain base to discuss something!"
Lin Shubing had already been waiting for them at the third-floor command post at the Taihang Mountain Base.
"Shubing, I called Commander Li!"
Lin Shubing took two quick steps forward to meet him.
"Commander, I called you here to discuss something about establishing our education system."
"Oh? Tell us more?"
Lin Shubing spoke incessantly, describing the national defense education system.
His plan was to consolidate all the schools into one university.
Currently it is divided into the Infantry Academy, Tank Academy, Artillery Academy and Military Medical Academy.
The course lasts one year and starts on the 16th day of the first lunar month every year. The students are divided into two parts, one part is recommended by each unit according to indicators, and the other part registers for the examination uniformly.
One reason is to take care of those veterans who have low educational level but strong practical ability.
Secondly, it is to give opportunities to those young warriors who are educated and motivated.
Every year on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, there will be a graduation assessment. If you graduate successfully, you will be assigned to your original unit as a grassroots officer.
In short, we will do our best to increase grassroots command forces and the proportion of technical officers, in preparation for future transformation into a modern force.
"Okay! Shubing, you will be responsible for the specific implementation. If there is anything that needs to be handled by our Lao Li, just tell me! If there are not enough teachers, I will send people to poach them."
"Not yet, Commander. You will be the principal, right?"
Li Yunlong shook his head like a rattle. When asked to carry a gun and fight, he did it without saying a word.
But, wouldn't it be overestimating his abilities to let him be the principal?
He knows how much knowledge he has.
"No, no, this is something you intellectuals do, so you should do it!"
After much persuasion from Lin Shubing, Li Yunlong was appointed as the honorary president. He served as the president and named the university Jinnan National Defense University.
In addition, Li Yunlong convened the chief officers of each regiment, announced the establishment of the National Defense University, and required that the recommendation list be submitted before the 16th day of the first lunar month, and organized examinations for the registered officers and soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve, and the independent column was full of joy.
During this year, their troops underwent tremendous changes. As soldiers here, they had enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear. Bullets could be made at will, and they could fight the Japanese at will.
The number of Japanese killed this year was several times more than before.
Li Yunlong, Wang Meng and Zhao Gang inspected all the troops.
Seeing that every troop had meat in their pots and wine in their bowls, I felt relieved.
"Old Zhao, thanks to your support company, otherwise the soldiers would have had a rather dull New Year!"
"I didn't do any work. I mainly relied on Jia Gui'er. If he hadn't been so generous and sold his own property, we wouldn't have been able to eat meat!"
As for Jia Guier, after getting slapped a few times, he transformed himself into a subordinate of the new Captain Kameda, and put on the black coat of the detective team and hung the turtle box again.
Jia Guier sat in the small courtyard of the detective team, looking at the bright moon, listening to the sparse sound of firecrackers, feeling a little melancholy.
Ever since he was caught by the Independent Column, his lover ran away and he was left alone. He felt so lonely staying in the yard of the detective team during the New Year's Day.
"Captain Jia, look who's here?"
A loud voice pulled Jia Guier out of her melancholy.
Zhao Gang, wearing a long gown and a black top hat, pushed the door open.
"Lao Jia, you've worked so hard! The soldiers thought of your kindness and asked me to bring you a bowl of braised pork!"
After saying that, the guard beside Zhao Gang opened the food box and brought out a dish of slightly cool braised pork.
"It's a bit cold, do you want to heat it up?"
"Need not!"
With red eyes, Jia Guier pinched a piece of braised pork with her fingers and stuffed it into her mouth.
"It's so fragrant!"
After delivering the meat, Zhao Gang took advantage of the cover of night and walked out of the city.
