Chapter 72 The competition is not just about strength (2)
Thinking about An Yi's usual scheming, Zhang Tianyi had many worries. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he quickly ran to the company commander to report.
The company commander, who was over 30 years old, was also a ruthless character. After hearing this, he ordered to speed up without hesitation. In less than five minutes, he was about 500 meters ahead of the 2nd Division and 3rd Company. At this time, Zhang Tianyi felt slightly relieved and concentrated all his energy.
Go up to the upcoming armed swim.
Chiang Kai-shek saw in the telescope that the Fourth Division Company had arrived at the small river, took off its shoes and rolled up its trousers, and was preparing to swim across. His direct line was still chasing after him 500 meters behind. He also heard the surrounding generals praising Zhang Huizhan for his good training. The team was really capable. For a moment,
Even more worried, he thought for a moment and leaned back, then asked Liu She in the back row in a low voice what was going on.
Liu She had already bent down and prepared: "Principal, don't worry, An Yi's company is equipped with relatively complete tools and auxiliary parts, so it carries a heavy load. The average load is forty-two kilograms, which is far more than the Hunan Army's fourteen kilograms.
The current progress is already very good. Next, I would like to ask the principal to carefully observe the way An Yi Company crosses the river. It is quite exciting. Two-thirds of the soldiers will fly through the sky through the rope. This will not only save time, but also allow most of the special load-bearing soldiers to fly.
Brother, if you are not wet, you will have a great advantage in the next competition."
"Okay, I want to see how they flew across." Chiang Kai-shek sat upright and chatted amiably with Tan Yankai, the veteran of the party and state on the right, Commander of the Second Army.
After a while, Chiang Kai-shek saw that Tan Yankai had stopped talking. He picked up a telescope and pointed it at the river for a while. He kept saying, "How can these guys figure this out?" At the same time, other bosses and the generals behind him were also shocked.
After shouting, Lao Jiang slowly turned around in surprise, took the telescope handed by He Yingqin and raised it calmly. He saw An Yi dancing with a leather whip, standing between two big trees, walking back and forth, apparently shouting.
Give orders frequently.
Taking a closer look, Lao Jiang smiled. He saw the soldiers carrying heavy burdens hanging up two thick hemp ropes one after another, and quickly slid from the height of the river embankment to the opposite side of the river bed in an orderly manner.
The speed was uniform, and in a blink of an eye, An Yi was left, leading the four soldiers behind him to cut off the rope with a shovel, and jumped into the river and swam desperately to the other side. The soldiers on the other side, under the command of the two deputy company commanders, organized and prepared
Prepare to make a one-kilometer detour and return to the original place to build a bridge.
Lao Jiang once again pointed his telescope at the Hunan Army and found that the Hunan Army had to take care of the baggage full of bridge-building tools and accessories, so it involuntarily slowed down during the swimming operation. Now only two-thirds of the people have climbed to the other side.
I was hurriedly putting on shoes and packing my luggage. Many of my backpacks were soaked by the river water and looked heavy.
Lao Jiang nodded frequently and laughed silently: "This An Yi, it's great that he came up with such an ingenious method! No wonder you guys are so confident, and when you report it, you are so proud that you would rather me than anyone else.
, as expected, you know your enemy and your ally, and you have a plan in mind!"
"Principal, An Yi's flying method can be trained throughout the army, which will be very beneficial to overcoming complex battlefield situations in the future."
He Yingqin is worthy of being a handsome man with thoughtful thoughts and profound vision.
Lao Jiang nodded: "I'm afraid that after this competition, all armies will conduct in-depth research on this matter. You must not fall behind the friendly forces."
"Understood!" He Yingqin replied.
"Jingfu, what do you expect from the pontoon bridge below?" Lao Jiang leaned back slightly and asked without looking back.
Liu She put down the telescope, stood up again and leaned into Lao Jiang's ear: "An Yi and the others have successfully experimented with a combined erection method. It is very fast, ingenious and very strong and reliable. It is difficult to explain in a few words. It is estimated that the entry will begin in ten minutes."
The logging and pontoon construction stages are now in progress, please wait and see, principal."
"So fast?"
Lao Jiang asked in surprise.
"It's not too fast. In order to take care of the commanders' time, the schedule was shortened. The original five hours was reduced to four hours. The final trench excavation was reduced from 150 meters to 80 meters. The endurance of the officers and soldiers of An Yi Company and more
Many advanced means cannot be fully reflected, otherwise, the defeat of the friendly second division will be even more ugly."
Liu Zhen reported back very proudly. When he saw Tan Yankai in the front row talking to old Chiang Kai-shek, Liu Zhen retracted consciously. Just when he wanted to discuss it with Hu Shusen and Xu Tingyao beside him, he saw that the two deputies were already competing with Zhang Huizhan.
.
Xu Tingyao and Hu Shusen, who were sitting next to Zhang Huizan, cooperated very well. Lao Hu said calmly: "Brother Yuexiang, don't draw conclusions too early. I'm afraid An Yi's men don't have enough stamina. Although he was able to cross the river by surprise,
It’s slightly ahead of me in the middle, but the logging and bridge building down there are all very strenuous tasks, and it’s hard for our brothers to maintain such physical strength. To be honest, I’m very worried!”
"Old Hu, how can you embody other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? I don't think so. Although Brother Shihou's soldiers are experienced veterans with strong combat prowess and tough style, they may not be able to defeat our new students.
Calves, especially before departure, although they sing loudly and have high morale, one or two wisecracks from our newborn calves offset their psychological advantage, haha! It’s just like on the battlefield, not only fighting bravely, but also fighting wits
, The Art of War says: avoid the enemy when you are strong, attack the enemy when you are angry, exploit the opponent when you are humble, exploit the enemy with weakness...use your strengths and avoid weaknesses, attack them when they are not prepared, and take them by surprise...Haha, the competition is not just about strength!"
Hu Shusen quickly waved his hand: "No, no! Brother Yuexiang, what you said is wrong, don't you see..."
Zhang Huizan, who was already full of dissatisfaction, couldn't stand it anymore. He turned to his two deputies and had a quick discussion with his head. He turned to Xu Tingyao and smiled gently:
"Since Brother Yuexiang is so confident, how about we increase the bet from 50,000 to 80,000? If Brother Yuexiang is interested, how about another 20,000 bet between you and me? Haha..."
"this……"
Xu Tingyao hesitated.
Hu Shusen quickly stopped Xu Tingyao: "No, no! The 50,000 yuan has been maxed out. You must not act rashly if you are not sure. Besides, even if we blind cats hit the dead mice and win, we will still be sorry for Brother Shi Hou! And we can't be impulsive."
Zhang Huizan laughed: "Brother Shusen is afraid that I can't afford to lose, right? Haha, how about this? How about I write another note? As long as Brother Yuexiang nods, I will sign immediately. If I really lose, I will send a special car to pick up eight people tomorrow."
How about sending a cent of the ten thousand principal to your West Camp?"
Xu Tingyao turned to Hu Shusen angrily: "Old Hu, I know you are always cautious, but you should also know the Master's temper. It's obvious... I'll sign and I'll be responsible. If I can't pay for the 80,000 by myself, you
Don't say any more... Since Brother Shihou is so elegant, I am willing to risk my life to accompany him. At worst, I can sell the house at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. I can still get it for one hundred and eighty thousand, haha! Not only do I want to sign, but I also respond.
It was Brother Shihou's initiative and I accepted Brother Shihou's 20,000 bet. Anyway, I won, lost, lost, and tigers mate once, and I don't want to leave regrets for the rest of my life."
"Okay! Brother Yuexiang is indeed heroic, haha... Chief of Staff, bring me a pen!"
Zhang Huizan was overjoyed, took the pen and wrote the bet directly on the competition book. Hu Shusen beat his chest and stamped his feet, as if he had no courage to face it again, and turned to Liu She, and found that Liu She was looking over with a straight face, her eyes closed tightly.
An imperceptible sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The development of the game was almost the same as or even exceeded the expectations of Liu She, Hu Shusen and Xu Tingyao, who had worked hard to lure Zhang Huizhan and others into the bait. An Yilian performed very well and performed at a normal level. From the end of the logging, the audience was filled with exclamations.
Far ahead, Zhang Huizhan and his deputies were dripping with cold sweat and pale, looking extremely disappointed at their brothers who were still working hard to build the bridge.
An Yi's team has all returned to the viewing platform. More than a hundred brothers began to dig trenches quickly under the incredible gazes of dozens of generals and thousands of soldiers and civilians. Due to the advanced tools, more than 130 people were divided into two.
The teams took turns to work, and saw steel shovels flying, dust rising, and an 80-meter-long winding earth dragon rolling and swimming under everyone's eyes. The photographers who rushed to the side to capture the camera were unable to do so.
At the edge of the 80-meter-long trench, An Yi, Hu Hu, and Yin Jinan were all soaked. Each was responsible for a section of supervision and guidance. They took turns asking the two groups of brothers to work at a high speed and with high efficiency. The speed far exceeded the usual training standards. They looked up from the podium.
Chiang Kai-shek and many generals were dazzled and marveled.
Every miracle and every surprise in these three hours was revealed in the final stage of trench excavation. Everyone was deeply shocked by the amazing achievements of the Second Division.
Thirty minutes later, with a whistle blowing, all the brothers of An Yi Company jumped onto the trench and jumped for joy. They took off their hats and threw them into the sky, revealing a large bald head that made the spectators stunned and then burst into laughter.
It was only then that the brothers from the Hunan Army arrived at the bottom of the slope. When they saw that An Yi Company had completed the work, everyone suddenly let out a breath that they had been holding in. They sat on the ground gasping for air without any hope. Zhang Tianyi incredulously ran up to An Yi Company to dig.
After looking at these wonderful trenches again and again, I can only look up to the sky and sigh.
The extremely proud Chiang Kai-shek chatted cheerfully with Tan Yankai, who loudly praised An Yi beside him, and then turned to He Yingqin, Liu Zhe and others and solemnly ordered:
"After returning, I will immediately issue a commendation order in the name of your military headquarters throughout the entire army: Captain An Yi will be awarded the rank of company commander, Hu Jialin will be promoted to the rank of captain, Yin Jinan will be promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and all soldiers in the third company will be promoted by one rank.
level, to show our sympathy and commendation for the outstanding contributions of all the officers and soldiers of the Third Company!"
"yes!"
He Yingqin and others answered excitedly.
Chiang Kai-shek turned to the director of the Political Department of the First Army: "Director Deng, this exciting competition should be widely publicized to inspire all officers and soldiers of the revolutionary army who are about to go on the Northern Expedition, inspire the spirit of the whole people, and boost the morale of the whole army. I will order all departments of the Party Department to
