Resistance against Japan: Starting with the local militia

Chapter 105 Return to the station

"Finally, we see Wolong Mountain! I didn't expect the return trip to be so smooth, a day ahead of schedule," Tang Xiaohu said excitedly upon seeing Wolong Mountain.

"This trip has exhausted me." Bi Shoucai burst into tears of joy upon seeing Wolong Mountain.

“Hey Lao Bi, ever since you became the head of the logistics department, your physical fitness has declined. Why don’t you come and train with my reconnaissance battalion for a while?” Niu Dali said, pretending to be concerned.

"No, please don't! I can't keep up with the training your reconnaissance battalion does," Bi Shoucai said with a look of refusal.

"Besides, my current task is to take care of your logistics, so it's normal for my physical strength to decline," Bi Shoucai explained.

"Haha, just kidding. Everyone knows how hard our rich man Bi works," Tang Xiaohu joked.

"Let's hurry up and go. Let's try to get back to Wolong Mountain tonight for a hot meal. I'm almost sick of eating dry rations these days," Niu Dali said.

"Alright, soldiers, speed up, we'll be back at the base soon!" Tang Xiaohu shouted at the top of his lungs.

Immediately afterwards, cheers erupted from the woods, and the soldiers quickened their pace.

"Boss, these people have incredible stamina. They've been running around for three days straight, and they still have so much energy," Zhou Yuan said, sounding slightly tired.

The continuous trekking through the mountains these past few days had been a considerable challenge for her. Long Wenying, standing beside her, was also gritting her teeth and persevering. The difficulties of the mountain journey far exceeded Long Wenying's expectations. On the second day, one of the female student soldiers fainted due to exhaustion and had to be carried along by the militia soldiers. If it weren't for the militia soldiers' care for them, Long Wenying doubted whether they could have crossed these mountains on their own.

"This proves that this unit is the right choice for us. Let's persevere a little longer, we'll be at our destination soon," Long Wenying encouraged the group.

Niu Dali, who had been secretly observing the group of student soldiers, felt a different kind of emotion towards this female soldier who was just as capable as any man. Tang Xiaohu didn't understand what this emotion was, so he simply stopped thinking about it, but he paid more attention to Long Wenying.

"Report, Regiment Commander, Battalion Commander Tang and the others are only one kilometer away from the regimental headquarters," the communications officer reported.

"it is good."

Tang Weiguo had already learned from the sentries around Wolong Mountain that Tang Xiaohu and the others had returned to the Wolong Mountain area, so Tang Weiguo arrived at the entrance of the camp early to wait for them.

As Bi Shoucai approached, he saw Tang Weiguo standing at the door and hurriedly ran over. His speed impressed Tang Xiaohu and Niu Dali.

"Report, Commander, mission successfully completed," Bi Shoucai eagerly reported.

"Very good, you've worked hard." Tang Weiguo patted Bi Shoucai on the shoulder.

"Commander, it's not hard work, I'm full of energy." Tang Xiaohu and Niu Dali, who had just caught up, rolled their eyes when they heard Bi Shoucai say this. They wondered who had been complaining all the way.

So Tang Xiaohu spoke up, "Commander, you've had people with you along the way."

"They kept praising the regimental commander's wisdom and prowess."

Upon hearing Tang Xiaohu's words, Bi Shoucai hurriedly interrupted Tang Xiaohu and continued speaking.

"Really?" Tang Weiguo asked Tang Xiaohu. Meanwhile, Bi Shoucai, standing to the side, kept winking at Tang Xiaohu in a fawning manner.

"Haha, Commander, yes, Director Bi has been talking about it the whole way," Tang Xiaohu said with a laugh.

Tang Weiguo smiled when he saw Tang Xiaohu and Bi Shoucai's little interaction; the group of them usually had a very close relationship.

"Bi Shoucai, what about the student soldiers you mentioned this time?" Tang Weiguo asked.

"Commander, I'll bring them over right away." This time it was Tang Xiaohu's turn to speak up. After saying that, Niu Dali ran to the back of the group and led Long Wenying and the others over.

"Commander, this is Long Wenying, the student soldier leader."

"Long Wenying is our regimental commander, Tang Weiguo," Niu Dali introduced them.

"Reporting to the commander, Long Wenying and 29 soldiers are reporting for duty," Long Wenying said proactively. Having witnessed the performance of the militia soldiers along the way, Long Wenying was truly convinced by their address of "commander."

While speaking, Long Wenying also sized up Tang Weiguo. She was surprised to find him so young, looking about the same age as herself. Long Wenying admired Tang Weiguo even more.

"Welcome to the militia from afar." Tang Weiguo extended his hand to Long Wenying. While speaking, Tang Weiguo also sized up Long Wenying. In the words of the era before Tang Weiguo's transmigration, she was both cool and sassy.

"Commander, it is an honor for us to join your militia." Long Wenying gently grasped Tang Weiguo's hand.

"Bi Shoucai, you'll have to work hard later. After dinner, you'll personally arrange accommodations for the student soldiers led by Long Wenying," Tang Weiguo said, turning to give the order.

"Yes, Commander, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."

"Tang Xiaohu, organize the soldiers to transport these supplies to the logistics department, where the soldiers will be responsible for sorting them," Tang Weiguo then ordered Tang Xiaohu.

"Yes, Captain."

"After you've made the arrangements, bring the soldiers to the mess hall. I've already asked the logistics department to prepare the meals."

"Yes, Captain."

"The rest of you, come with me. Let's have a hot meal first." After saying that, Tang Weiguo led the soldiers toward the militia canteen.

After the meal, before leaving, Tang Weiguo said to Long Wenying:

"Long Wenying, all your living supplies can be handled by Director Bi. I've already made arrangements."

"Thank you, Commander."

"From now on, the militia will be your home, so don't be shy." After saying that, Tang Weiguo bid farewell to Long Wenying and left.

"Miss Long, this way please," Niu Dali said warmly to Long Wenying.

"Thank you, Battalion Commander Niu."

Upon witnessing this scene, Bi Shoucai was momentarily unable to distinguish whether the person in charge of logistics was the head of the logistics department or whether he himself was the head of the logistics department.

Bi Shoucai, thinking about the accommodation for their 30 people, stopped worrying about those things and began preparing for them.

The next morning, Long Wenying and the others arrived at the conference room on time to wait for Tang Weiguo.

After a while, Tang Weiguo walked in and greeted them warmly.

Among Long Wenying's 30 student soldiers, there were 11 female soldiers and 19 male soldiers.

Seeing Tang Weiguo's warm greetings, she blushed and muttered to herself.

"My goodness, the regimental commander is so young and handsome. I wish I could marry him."

Upon hearing these words, Long Wenying turned her head and glared at them. The girls sitting in the back were too frightened to speak.

"Everyone has shared what they're studying so I can assign them to teams," Tang Weiguo asked.

"I'm studying to be a doctor,"

"Telecommunications major".

"I studied artillery."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.

"I studied command," Long Wenying concluded.

"Oh, command expertise is excellent! Long Wenying, I appoint you as our militia's staff officer," Tang Weiguo said with a smile.

"Yes, Captain."

"Chief of Staff Long, I'm giving you your first task: compile a list of everyone's professional skills so I can assign them to different roles."

"Yes, Captain."
