The sudden change of topic caught Ding Wei off guard.
"Brigadier, why did you remember to ask this?" Ding Wei asked cautiously.
The brigade commander said: "As your old commander, I can't care about your life events?"
With that said, the brigade commander looked around and asked, "Where's Qiu Chan? Why isn't she here?"
"We have so many cadres suddenly here, we have to do a good job in security work." Ding Weidao said, "Qiu Chan went to organize security work."
"You're quite good at calling people," the brigade commander said dissatisfied.
"There's nothing I can do about it, and I don't want to order her around. I leave her idle, but she doesn't like it. She also says that I can't look down on women and insists that I give her a job!"
Ding Wei felt helpless, spread his hands, and said: "Tell me, with Qiu Chan's temper, do I dare to say no? I have to listen to her honestly."
"I didn't expect, Ding Wei, that there are people in this world who can conquer you?" the brigade commander laughed.
In the past, the brigade commander only heard about it and judged the situation of the 28th Brigade based on the reports sent by Ding Wei.
After meeting like this today, he realized that the situation in the 28th Brigade was far beyond his expectation and shocked him too much.
In addition to the brigade commander, Cheng Xiazi and the others are also like this. Compared with the brigade commander, he is like a country man who has just entered the city and feels strange in everything he sees.
Gradually, they also understood what the brigade commander meant and what he wanted them to do on this trip.
Although they had only been in the 28th Brigade for half a day, except for the few competitions in the morning, the meal they had at noon could make them feel ashamed.
They can pat their chests and say yes to the war, but if they guarantee it, they will let the soldiers eat meat every day...
Let’s discuss first how to defeat the little devils in a more practical way.
The 28th Brigade went from being a low-ranking unit to becoming the main force in the army. It was not just a matter of luck.
Especially not long ago, Ding Wei led his troops to capture Ping'an County, which made these cadres even more envious.
As a result, I heard that Ding Wei had ruined some college, and I felt even more depressed. Although I admired Ding Wei's ability, it was absolutely impossible to say that I was not angry.
Who doesn’t know what the 28th Brigade looked like at the beginning, but in the end, it actually surpassed some veteran troops, which left them with nowhere to reason.
We are all human-like, with two eyes and one head. No one is special than the other. Why can that kid Ding Wei develop so fast?
After surviving till now, I can actually open a college and become a teacher. What the hell can I say?
We all joined the army at about the same time, and there are some old regimental commanders who have been in the army for several years longer than Ding Wei, but they are still regimental commanders, and Ding Wei has already been integrated into the brigade.
Although it is only a temporary establishment and may be revoked at any time, does this count as a disguised recognition of Ding Wei's ability by the organization?
So they were all holding a breath in their hearts and wanted to release it when they saw Ding Wei.
Of course, a big reason for this is because they believe that Ding Wei's ability to conquer Ping'an County is also due to them.
Without them at the rear to contain the enemy's attack, Ding Wei's offensive at the front would not have been so smooth.
So even though this was an exchange meeting, most people were a little angry and had a little desire to explore.
They really wanted to know what ability Ding Wei had to pull out such a wolf-like force.
Judging from the situation map between ourselves and the enemy, the 28th Brigade can be seen almost everywhere.
At first, they didn't understand it.
But when they saw all this with their own eyes, the commanders of each unit truly realized how big the gap was between their own unit and Ding Wei's 28th Brigade.
And they could feel that in this airport competition, Ding Wei and the others were definitely keeping the face of their old comrades in mind, otherwise they would only be more embarrassed.
The gap between the two armies is not only a military gap, but also in various aspects such as grassroots cadres, soldier quality, troop management, and even life.
What should I say...
They suddenly had a strange feeling. Compared with Ding Wei's, their own army seemed more like a second-rate army, while Ding Wei's army was more like a professional army.
In contrast, their hearts were even more severely damaged.
They are inferior to the 28th Brigade in all aspects, and they are still dreaming of conquering Ping'an County.
Even if you go up to attack a county town, let alone a safe county town, even if it is an ordinary small county town, you will be swallowed whole by the enemy.
In the last battle, if it wasn't for Ding Wei, they would probably have lost, and the loss would have been disastrous.
This sentence is the truest thought in the hearts of all the cadres from various ministries who come to visit and study.
It is estimated that only Ding Wei can successfully capture Ping'an County.
This thought was the second thought that came to their minds.
The morning combat drill has made the commanders of each regiment aware of the huge gap in military training between their own troops and the 28th Brigade.
They finally understood why Ding Wei had the ability to set up an academy.
And for some reason, the organization also strongly supported Ding Wei and asked him to do some cadre training. It turns out that Ding Wei really has this ability.
Thinking about the situation of their own troops and comparing it with Ding Wei's 28th Brigade, they felt a little sad.
However, this also dispelled their idea of copying Ding Wei's model. After returning, they must train the troops well and improve the quality of the troops first, and then consider other issues.
At this time, they finally understood the brigade commander's intentions.
The brigade commander was worried that they would be unconvinced, so he came specifically to support Ding Wei and let them all see Ding Wei's true ability...
But after realizing Ding's true ability, they also dispelled their doubts about the establishment of the academy and prepared to send all the top troops here for training.
Anyway, they don’t need money, so Ding Wei is willing to help them lead troops, which is a good thing!
I have convinced these guys in the morning, and the military exercises have come to an end for the time being.
We started visiting mode to get a more comprehensive understanding of the 28th Brigade.
Under the leadership of Ding Wei, everyone came to the training ground.
After seeing Ding Wei's training ground, those cadres couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Nothing else, because this training ground is too big, several times larger than theirs, and can accommodate at least hundreds of people for training.
There is also a lot of training equipment in the training ground, and the soldiers are training at the training ground now.
Daily training is actually no different from other troops, they are all common subjects.
"Let's go together!"
Everyone's thoughts were immediately attracted by a loud shout on the playground.
Looking around, it turned out to be a group of soldiers undergoing formation training.
They are holding guns and walking in goose-step. They look like new recruits and are not used to walking.
It was fine at first, but then he staggered around. Seeing this, the cadre in charge of training couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Immediately, he shouted: "Stop, go back to your original position, keep your military posture for half an hour, and I won't believe you can't move. You are really the worst recruits I have ever led!"
Although the recruits were helpless, they still returned to the starting point honestly.
It is not uncommon for them to train in formation, but if one of them fails to complete the training, they must remain in military posture for half an hour. This punishment is too severe.
Seeing the suspicion in their eyes, Ding Wei smiled and said: "Since you want to become bigger and stronger, you must start with small things.
New recruits like our army must first meet the physical fitness standards. After coming in, the first thing they have to learn is the goose step. If they can't even walk in line well, how can you expect them to fight?"
"Old Ding, you can't say that." Blind Cheng shook his head: "How can we judge the combat effectiveness of an army from its formation? No matter how good the formation is, it doesn't matter if it doesn't know how to fight."
"Then you didn't play well, so why didn't you beat me?" Ding Wei asked.
"Uh..." Cheng Xiazi blushed, took a step back, and stopped talking.
"The queue represents the military appearance of an army. Even if you can't walk in a queue well, what do you expect it to do? This is the simplest and most basic thing."
Ding Wei said to himself: "The goose step is not only a kind of etiquette, but also represents our image. It can reflect the majesty and morale of our army without using weapons!"
"Why don't I believe it?" Cheng Xiazi said casually.
The next second, someone helped and answered my doubts.
"Squad leader, I don't understand. We are soldiers to fight. Why do you keep letting us go? We can't kill the Japanese!"
"Yes, we want to kill the Japanese, we want to shoot!"
"Take us to shooting training, squad leader. Our physical fitness has passed the test. Let's practice goose-stepping slowly."
…
It seemed that the goose-stepping had really tortured them. It was probably because the squad leader had a good temper and was easy to talk to, so each of these recruits wanted to get over this matter.
But they underestimated the person who could be the squad leader of the 28th Brigade.
Where is the 28th Brigade? Being able to get to the position of squad leader already shows that he is not simple.
"Who said goose-step is difficult, who said goose-step is useless? Look at you, none of you can straighten your waist. When the kid sees you, his big teeth will laugh out loud!" the squad leader scolded.
"Let me tell you, goose-stepping is the place that best reflects the morale of an army!"
The recruits shook their heads in disbelief.
The squad leader sneered, not surprised by this scene. Every time there are new recruits, there are always a few guys who don't believe in evil. They can't beat them too hard, they can only use the most direct method.
"Come on a team!" the squad leader shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers ran over quickly. They lined up in a row, as if they were clones.
Looking at the first person, if you don't look carefully, you can only see him, as if he were measured with a ruler.
"These new recruits are not convinced. You, walk forward and show them!"
The squad leader exchanged glances with them, and they immediately understood that they were scaring the new recruits, as they often did.
Following the squad leader's order, the soldiers in the group raised their feet and immediately stepped heavily on the ground, making a uniform muffled sound.
Their movements were uniform and meticulous. Although they did not shout any chants, they all moved to the beat. After walking a few steps, they suddenly tightened their grip on the steel guns in their hands.
Just when the recruits didn't understand why, they slashed their bayonets fiercely.
In more professional terms, this is called splitting the gun.
"Whoosh!"
The air suddenly resounded with the sound of breaking through the air.
The new recruits didn't know whether they were frightened by the momentum of the approaching queue or by the bayonet. Each of them felt their feet weak and got squatted on their butts one after another.
"Look at what you look like. They didn't even shoot, but they just made gestures, and they scared you like this?" The squad leader sneered, "Do you still have any questions?"
These recruits didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. They shook their heads, got up from the ground, and continued to train the queue honestly.
Not to mention these new recruits, even the captains like Cheng Xiazi and others were shocked. They did not expect that a simple formation could actually allow Ding Wei to do such tricks.
"Ding Wei, what was the name of that move you just made?" the brigade commander asked with interest.
After hearing this, everyone immediately pricked up their ears and looked at Ding Wei.
"Splitting gun!"
Ding Wei said in a deep voice: "This is my new creation, in order to make the queue more imposing and murderous!"
This scene once appeared in the most classic military parade. You can't feel it from the video alone. Only at the scene can you truly feel the momentum.
What's more, the veterans in these demonstrations are all ruthless characters who were killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the smell of blood on their bodies is extremely strong.
To put it bluntly, if you are timid, one look from them can make you wet your pants.
Splitting gun?
After hearing this new word, everyone suddenly became interested.
"Split the spear?" The smile on the brigade commander's face became even wider: "The troop formation, with the splitting spear, is indeed a lot more powerful. You are really a fucking genius."
"But this splitting spear is not that simple to train. Some of the action breakdowns must be done meticulously, otherwise it will look very funny." Ding Wei said.
After a pause, Ding Wei added: "And now that the weapons are longer, it is easy to cause accidental injuries, so the trainees will be under a lot of pressure."
"Goose-stepping is recognized by the world as the simplest and most effective way to improve soldiers' sense of discipline." Ding Wei said solemnly.
"You think I practice goose-stepping to look good, but I tell you, I do it to cultivate soldiers' sense of obedience and organizational discipline."
"Obedience and discipline?" Cheng Xiazi was puzzled.
Ding Wei nodded and said: "You also went to private school when you were young. Even if you didn't, think about it, when we go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, do you dare to shout loudly? This is discipline!"
"Of course, this example may not be appropriate, but you just need to understand. We can't just do it for good looks, we have to make it useful.
Goose-stepping is the most rigorous and arduous training among military personnel. Through goose-stepping training, it helps to hone the will of soldiers and cultivate the spirit of hard work and perseverance!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that Ding Wei could make so many senses out of a small goose step.
Then, Ding Wei took them to the other side, where there was stabbing training. The soldiers were divided into two groups and practiced simulating actual combat with wooden bayonets.
"This is just an ordinary stabbing training, nothing interesting to watch." Ding Wei walked in front and led the way, saying: "I have one thing to say about this, as long as you can't kill, just fight according to the actual combat mode!
I would rather let the soldiers bleed more during training than let them die on the battlefield!"
In the visiting team, some people have already taken out small notebooks and recorded what they saw and heard in order to study hard when they go back in the future.
In the following training, I really saw the training method of the 28th Brigade, and the idea of surpassing in my heart suddenly disappeared!
