Chapter 241 Prepare a retreat plan in advance

During this period of time, seeing that the deserters in Lu Cheng's shelter were able to eat full meals every day and go out for training in the morning and evening, the other deserters were envious and had long wanted to follow Lu Cheng.

Upon hearing that Lu Cheng was recruiting people, the defeated soldiers came running over to sign up, all wanting to get two full meals first.

Lu Cheng asked Meng Fanle, Abao, Ayi and others to be responsible for registration, recruitment, and selecting some soldiers with better physique.

In recent days, in addition to training with his dozens of soldiers, Lu Cheng would occasionally visit other shelters to learn about the situation and treat other wounded soldiers.

Before Lu Cheng came here, people died every day in the nearby shelters and were carried outside to be buried. Sometimes several people died in a day. Human life was not worth money.

The higher-ups were too lazy to care about these defeated soldiers and just let them rot here, as long as they didn't cause any trouble.

Since Lu Cheng came, those with minor injuries have been improving rapidly after treatment. Even those with serious injuries have not seen their wounds worsen, and they all have hope of survival.

Even many shelters followed Lu Cheng's advice and began cleaning, tidying up the yards, and trying to provide a better environment for the wounded soldiers.

These defeated soldiers were grateful to Lu Cheng because he treated them as human beings.

If conditions permit, Lu Cheng really wants to gather all the defeated soldiers and reorganize them.

Unfortunately, Lu Cheng now has limited resources on hand. Even if he wants to buy supplies, the small place of Zenda is too poor and there are simply not many supplies.

Now, the training of the defeated soldiers has basically been put on track, and there is no need for the battalion commander Lu Cheng to keep an eye on them all the time. This also gives him more time to do other things.

The next day, Chen Xiaozui, who had recovered, began to practice shooting and disassembly and assembly of firearms again under the guidance of Lu Cheng.

Since the dog tag rifle had limited bullets, Lu Cheng also asked Chen Xiaozui to practice shooting with a box gun to master the basic shooting skills.

After practicing shooting, Lu Cheng took out a small bottle of brown pills the size of peanuts and handed them to Chen Xiaozui: "Xiaozui, this is a pill for strengthening the body that I made using the Lu family's ancestral method. From now on, you take one pill every day. I will also teach you how to box, and your physique will get better and better, and your strength will get stronger and stronger."

Chen Xiaozui took the small bottle handed over by Lu Cheng: "Brother Lu, this should be very precious, right? Why don't you keep it for yourself?"

"I have already taken it, otherwise I wouldn't have such great strength. You must listen to me, take one pill every day, and undergo a certain intensity of exercise every day."

"Well, I listen to you."

"Of course you have to listen to me, keep taking medicine and exercising, and our children will be born strong and smarter than ordinary children."

"is this real?"

"Of course it's true. I won't lie to you."

"Didn't you say before that you would lie to me forever?"

"This is different."

"I know…"

In his previous life, after seventy or eighty years of research, Lu Cheng continuously improved and concentrated the drugs that could improve physical fitness, and finally made them into three kinds of body-strengthening pills. Taking them in three courses can greatly promote the secondary development of the human body and improve a person's physical fitness by about three points within 3 to 6 months.

Of course, the number of pills needed will vary depending on the age and physical condition of the user, and the final effect will also be different.

However, after Lu Cheng's in-depth examination, Chen Xiaozui's physical condition was still very good, at least much better than Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing last time.

In the original drama, Chen Xiaozui was able to carry the unconscious Meng Fanle back home, which shows that he has quite a bit of strength.

After Chen Xiaozui obediently took the pill, Lu Cheng began to teach her a set of health exercises. This set of health exercises can exercise most of the bones and muscles in the body, which is conducive to the better efficacy of the health-enhancing pills.

After making arrangements for Chen Xiaozui, Lu Cheng bought a lot of thick ropes in Zenda City and stored them in the storage space.

One morning a few days later, Lu Cheng asked Yao Ma, Kang Ya and others to take the newly recruited soldiers to organize physical training outside the city of Zenda. He himself took A Bao and Meng Fanle to the Nujiang River outside the city of Zenda.

Meng Fanle was still a little confused: "My dear battalion commander, you have nothing to do, but why are we here at the Nujiang River? Do you want to go fishing in the river?"

Lu Cheng looked at the surging Nu River in front of him and asked, "Why do you think the higher-ups sent troops to garrison in western Yunnan?"

"Is there any need to ask? Of course, it is to protect the Burma Road?"

"Since the Burma Road is so important, what if the Japanese invaders attack us from the other side in the future?"

Meng Fan was stunned: "Battalion Commander, are you saying that the Japanese may attack from Burma in the future? This shouldn't be very likely, right? The Sakura Country is so small, and its troops have been distributed all over the north. The war in China has long entered a stalemate. How could they advance from the south again? This is impossible..."

After all, Meng Fanle was an intellectual who had attended college and knew something about the overall situation, but he had never thought that the Japanese would attack Southeast Asia.

"Besides, the Philippines is still the territory of the United States. If the Japanese want to attack Southeast Asia, they can't avoid here. There are British troops in Burma, Vietnam, India and other places..."

"Never underestimate the madness of the Japanese. They are capable of anything. Moreover, the Japanese's current expansion has affected the interests of European and American countries. The United States has also launched economic sanctions against the Japanese. If the Japanese want to break the current deadlock, attacking Southeast Asia may be a way..."

After listening to Lu Cheng's analysis, Meng Fan was silent for a long time and then sighed: "According to what you said, Zenda will not be peaceful for long."

"In a time of chaos, where is there a peaceful place? Therefore, we can only plan ahead and make more preparations. What if one day, the higher-ups ask us to cross the Nujiang River and go to Burma to fight the Japanese? We are unfamiliar with the place and it is easy to suffer losses.

Therefore, we must make some preparations first. On the one hand, we should familiarize ourselves with the terrain on the other side in advance. On the other hand, we should leave a few escape routes in this Nujiang River. In case we suffer a loss on the other side in the future, we cannot wait until we escape to find that there is no escape route. "

"Captain, nothing has happened yet, and you are considering this?"

“Before you think about winning, think about losing. Haven’t you heard that?”

A Bao did not interrupt the whole time. Although he had studied in a private school for several years and could recognize some words, he did not understand these national affairs. He only knew one thing: to listen to the battalion commander.

"Captain, tell me, what do you want us to do here?"

"Today we will first scout the terrain and find out the situation along the river. We will see where the river is wider and the current is slower, so we can use it to cross the river. We need to find at least five or six places suitable for crossing the river, mark them in advance, and draw a map.

Tomorrow, I will take a rope to the other side and set up a rope to cross the river. Abao, when you go back, you can find a few people and build a raft. Recently, we have been going to the other side every day to conduct reconnaissance and familiarize ourselves with the situation. Meng Fanluo, you should also go with us to conduct reconnaissance and draw a map. "
