Chapter 70: Tap the Abacus Beads Slowly (Part 1)
On the reviewing stand at the playground of the Beizhaiyuan, Xiao Yimin, wearing a tube-shaped soft training hat, wearing a new olive military uniform, and his generals stood upright. Wang Jian, the commander of the newly-formed border army, stood in front of the reviewing stand. Facing the 4,000 officers and soldiers lined up neatly below the stage, he shouted loudly: "The first ten military rules." The 4,000 officers and soldiers below the stage answered in unison: "Strictly obey and abide by their duties!"
"Article 2"
"Respect the elderly and love the young, treat the people well!" "Article 3"
"Brothers and comrades-in-arms, they are as close as brothers and sisters!" "Article 4"
"Go forward bravely, kill those who are afraid of fugitives!" "Article 10"
"Take death as if it's home, and we're the one who's in the army!"
The neat and high-pitched voice came back over the wide playground for a long time. Xiao Yimin was very satisfied. He and his generals and the school were racking their brains and carefully formulated the "Ten Clash Rules" successfully implemented. After ten days of intensive study, the 4,000 officers and soldiers who had undergone preliminary training, each of them memorized these ten Clash Rules and the "Internal Affairs Regulations" thoroughly, and their mental outlook changed, and both morale and cohesion were qualitatively improved.
Xiao Yimin and his generals were overjoyed when they saw the results. They firmly believed that as long as they persevere in carrying out education, the "Ten Catchments" had an iron-like action standard and would be integrated into the blood of every officer and soldier. In time, they would be able to train a strong iron-blooded army that could be defeated and invincible, laying a solid foundation for future development and growth, and then casting a steel-like army.
Wang Jian ordered loudly: "Everyone has it, stand at the first, and the departments directly under him are disbanded on the spot. The first mixed brigade has sorted out its equipment and is ready to set off."
"kill"
More than 3,500 officers and soldiers who were disbanded on the spot did not leave. They surrounded the 500 officers and soldiers of the First Brigade who were packing their backpacks. They did not part with them for a long time, and their eyes were full of reluctance.
Today is different from the past. The 500th brothers of the First Brigade will return to Ya'an with the brigade commander Wang Jian. They will be stationed at the Baitashan base for a long time and be responsible for the important task of defending the southwestern and western defense zones of Chengdu. After returning to Ya'an, the first thing the First Brigade needs to do is to recruit Wuma and continue to strengthen training. They must expand the total number to 5,500 officers and soldiers within half a year. These 500 carefully selected old brothers with more than one year military service will become officers and commanders at all levels of the First Mixed Brigade.
Brigade Commander Wang Jian and Deputy Brigade Commander He Qiwu said goodbye to the officers who stayed in Chengdu one by one. Finally, they walked off the reviewing stand side by side with Xiao Yimin and whispered while walking.
Xiao Yimin looked at the brothers who were saying goodbye to each other on the playground, pulled Wang Jian and He Qiwu and whispered: "Two senior brothers, you are calm and experienced. You have made a lot of contributions to our army's training and education over the past year. Not only did you boldly explore in actual training, but you made a lot of corrections and supplements to the original "Cause of the Dictations" of various military ranks, but you are also very effective in military discipline education. It is natural to be praised by your brothers in this post review. Therefore, your brigade commander,
The position of deputy brigade commander is also worthy of his name.
"However, you must not be self-confidence. You must remember the ancient teachings of sailing against the current. At present, all ** teams are growing rapidly in mosu and practice. Even Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army has shown surprising combat effectiveness. The overwhelming victory of the Beiyang Army on the Wuhan battlefield not long ago is a good proof that during the battle lasted for more than two months, the many techniques and tactics that the Beiyang Army showed are worth learning from.
"Also, when it comes to expanding the troops, we must be very cautious, rather than having nothing but being extravagant, and ensuring quality, and also try every means to get the strong support of our fellow villagers."
Wang Jian quickly replied: "Please rest assured, commander, after returning, we will strictly follow the newly revised "Recruitment Ordinance" to recruit soldiers, and never rush to achieve success and do stupid things like encouraging men. It is the sentence the commander repeatedly emphasized at the meeting: We are the soldiers of the people, and the hearts of the people are the foundation for our army to settle down." He Qiwu then expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, commander, we will never let down the commander's expectations. After returning, we will definitely implement the commander's instructions. Everything is based on military rules and regulations, strictly follow the "Cause of the Dictation" of our army. We will never relax ideological education. We will strive to defeat the Second Brigade in a year later in the confrontation exercise." Xiao Yimin nodded with a smile, signaling the two to walk around and look at the brothers who returned this time.
Wang Jian and He Qiwu followed closely and followed closely.
After experiencing this Chengdu crisis and internal reinforcement learning, Wang Jian and He Qiwu, who have received formal military education and have nearly two years of practical experience, have become respectful like all officers in front of Xiao Yimin, who has rapidly transformed and more majestic. Whether in their words or in their hearts, they all admire and impressed Xiao Yimin and never dare to call Xiao Yimin the word "junior brother".
After taking a few steps, Wang Jian asked in a low voice: "Commander, the few graduates from Baoding will be back next week. Do you really plan to let them start from the platoon leader in our first brigade?"
Xiao Yimin nodded seriously: "This must be the case. This is a necessary procedure for the training of our military officers. Even if the people who have returned from further studies have a high level, they must be trained steadily at the grassroots level before they can be promoted and used.
"Through this crisis, you have also seen the performance of the new army. Among their generals and schools at all levels, no less than fifteen of them returned from further studies in Japan. The remaining officers at all levels are almost all the best graduates from Sichuan Military Preparation School and Quick School. But how did they perform in this crisis?
"Hmph! Panic, extremely incompetent, and extremely disappointing! Let's look at what soldiers they brought? It's not an exaggeration to describe it as a tofu shit. How could such an officer and such an army be competent for the cruel war in the future?" Wang Jian and He Qiwu nodded frequently. Xiao Yimin's analysis was objective and pointed, which made people see and convinced.
"Report to the commander, Peng Ziyue asked to follow his brother Peng Zisong and return to Ya'an base to continue training."
Wei Changfeng, the battalion commander of the direct special agent battalion who followed the First Brigade to Ya'an Base for special training, came to ask for instructions.
Wang Jian and He Qiwu looked at each other and smiled. The Peng brothers were both sharpshooters that Commander Xiao Yimin loved very much. Even the two brothers' names were also helped by the commander to help reorganize the army. This time, the Command General Staff Office separated the two brothers in order to play the role of the two sharpshooters brothers. It seemed that the two brothers were still reluctant to leave each other.
Xiao Yimin waved to the Peng brothers standing in the distance, and replied to the two brothers who ran up to salute, and looked at Peng Ziyue unhappily: "Shan Yazi, it's not impossible for you to go to Ya'an, but you have to give me a reasonable reason, huh?" Shan Yazi blushed and tinged: "Report to the commander, I feel that my level is not enough, and I dare not serve as the shooting instructor of the direct regiment. I want to learn from my brother with Battalion Commander Wei that Battalion Commander Wei said that we should take everything we know, including how to see the wind speed, how to measure the wind direction, how to lurk to avoid being discovered, and also, how to search for lurking enemies, and then write them all on paper and write them into a special textbook. This is what Battalion Commander Wei said, this is very honorable. In the future, all the brothers who practice sniping in the army can see our names.
Everyone laughed loudly after hearing this. After Xiao Yimin finished laughing, he turned to Wei Changfeng: "Battle Commander Wei, it turns out that you were instigating him behind the scenes! I said, how could Shan Yazi say such a long passage of literary words? You can still think of leaving a name for military history? Haha! Shan Yazi, you have memorized this passage for a long time, right?"
Shan Yazi lowered his head and his face turned redder. He stepped back to his brother without realizing it. He never dared to look up at Xiao Yimin again. He felt very regretful and felt sorry for Commander's respect.
Wei Changfeng smiled embarrassedly: "Commander, the task assigned by the General Staff Department is too heavy. It is really difficult to summarize our army's first "Sniper Training Model" within half a year! Currently, there are only two sharpshooters in the Peng brothers in the army. They were guided by the commander two years ago. Since then, they have been practicing hard and have fired five or six thousand bullets. Without the help of the two of them in practice, I can't write it out!" Xiao Yimin nodded: "Okay, I agree, but Wei Changfeng, this time I handed over all the 100 best shooters in the army to you, and gave you the best weapons and a large number of special clothing and equipment. If you don't make any progress in half a year, just wait to report to the engineering battalion." "Yes! Thank you Commander!"
Wei Changfeng saluted excitedly and pulled the Peng brothers away with joy. It seemed that he was going to go to the barracks to help Shan Yazi get backpacks.
Wang Jian, He Qiwu and the surrounding guards laughed so hard that they all knew why the commander had so much money on this hundred sharpshooter.
All the officers and soldiers, including them, did not know what snipers were or after Xiao Yimin explained in detail that they knew how to pronounce the word "sniper" and what it meant. They learned how elusive and yin's vicious sniper tactics were.
Just imagine: A team of commanders marching on the mountain road was suddenly blown out of the head by bullets flying from nowhere, or after leading their troops to camp, sentry and patrol officers and soldiers were knocked down by cold guns two or three hundred meters away. How serious and cruel the blow to the morale of the army is!
Everyone put themselves in their shoes and deduced each other. If they were led by their troops and were attacked by snipers, they would probably be at a loss and didn't know how to protect and counterattack.
When the officers learned about the effectiveness of sniper tactics, they all consciously abide by the confidentiality system and strongly supported the headquarters to form a direct special agent battalion. After the special agent battalion is trained, the best will be specially promoted and then assigned to the direct special agent companies of each brigade to bring out snipers that make the enemy scared. This is a good thing for everyone.
The 500 officers and soldiers of the First Mixed Brigade and more than 100 officers and soldiers of the Special Service Battalion directly under the headquarters were ready to be prepared. Amid the command of the brigade commander Wang Jian, they saluted Commander Xiao Yimin and lined out of the barracks in line with the warm winter sunshine.
Xiao Yimin and the soldiers of the army returned the gift and watched it. The atmosphere seemed extremely powerful and strong, just like a real war.
Shortly after Xiao Yimin returned to the headquarters by the pond, Shigu Chief Wu San happily reported: "Brother Liu Bingxian is here and is coming from the gate of the camp!"
Xiao Yimin was very happy and stood up and looked in a military appearance: "Let's go and welcome together. I haven't seen each other for so many years. You have to drink a few more bowls tonight. This grandson has a lot of alcohol, so I can't mess with him." Wu San grinned and said, "Brother, it seems that Mr. Yang and Brother Liu came together with him in Chongqing, and the old man from the Ministry of Education, for some reason."
"Mr. Yang? Which Mr. Yang?" Xiao Yimin asked strangely.
"I just asked you for help last time, and took out Mr. Yang Wei and some of the best friends of the Tongmenghui from the prison. As for the name, I can't remember it for a while."
Wu San scratched his forehead and recalled hard.
Xiao Yimin frowned and said, "Mr. Yang Shukan, President of Chongqing Tongmenghui?"
"Yes! That's him." Wu San answered quickly.
Xiao Yimin nodded thoughtfully: "It's so fast! And I came with Brother Liu. I really made a good plan. It's not easy to leave! I welcome you warmly, I don't care about the big things anymore. I'll talk about it after drinking the welcome wine tonight!"!
