March of the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939).
After more than three months of arduous training, the Thirty-ninth Group Army finally ushered in a large-scale military competition. The competition was first held among each regiment. The company commander of the company with the worst performance was directly reduced to the platoon commander, and the commander of the company with the best performance was directly reduced to the platoon commander.
The company represents each regiment in the final competition, and the final winner will receive the "Tiger Company" banner and the honorary title.
For this banner, the commanders of each division and brigade were secretly holding their breath.
The Taihang branch of the Central Military Academy has suspended classes today, and all the students from the junior and senior command classes are here.
On the rostrum, the front rows of seats were all empty, but officers at all levels from the Thirty-ninth Group Army such as Lu Xiufeng, Chi Chengfeng, Cao Xinglong, and Li Yulong filled the chairs in the back rows.
"His grandma, our new 9th Division is going to decide on this banner. No one is allowed to snatch it from me!"
"Just your new 9th Division? Dream on, how dare you show off in front of our Baoshan Division?"
"Damn it, I must also be leading an infantry brigade. What can this banner do to you?"
"Okay, stop fighting. Are you tired? With my "*** First Battalion" here, if you still want to grab the banner, isn't that just slapping fleas on a tiger's head?"
"His grandma, you one-eyed dragon, don't be too crazy. We will see you on the school field when the time comes!"
"Chi Chengfeng, I'm ashamed of myself for my voice, but for the combat effectiveness of our troops, I'm really not outshining you. Your new 9th Division is far behind our Tumen Fortress Security Brigade."
"Grandma, I can't stand how arrogant you are, why don't you go down and make some gestures?"
"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't interacted with anyone for a long time, and my hands are itchy."
After saying that, Chi Chengfeng and Li Qinglong stood up from the viewing platform, eager to get off the stage to compete. Next to them, Li Yulong and others were still making noises. The competition between the little soldiers had not yet begun, but the two generals had done it first.
Already.
Cao Xinglong couldn't help but shouted: "Okay, there will be guests coming later, let others see it, what do you think?"
When Cao Xinglong said this, Chi Chengfeng and Li Yulong also felt bad, and sat back down with big eyes and small eyes.
If Yue Weihan were here, he would definitely not stop the two from fighting, and would even fan the flames. As the saying goes, a raging soldier is like a raging general. If the chief officers are all withered and stuffy gourds, what good soldiers can be produced?
Only aggressive officers like Chi Chengfeng and Li Qinglong can bring out a group of howling tiger and wolf soldiers!
As soon as Chi Chengfeng and Li Qinglong sat down, Yue Weihan and Liu Yi appeared with a large group of guests.
The guests invited to watch the ceremony this time were of all ages, and they were all gathered together, including Commander-in-Chief Yan of the Second Theater Command, Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Commander of the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater Hu Zongnan, Commander-in-Chief Zhu of the Eighth Route Army, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng.
General, Commander Liu of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, Political Commissar Deng and others are all here.
In addition, there are many media reporters.
The guests took their seats and the competition began.
The "winning companies" representing the 181st Division, Baoshan Division, New 6th Division, New 9th Division, Tumen Guard Brigade, Taihang Guard Brigade, Cavalry Brigade and Artillery Brigade came on stage one after another, forming eight neat square formations on the campus.
, looking down from the viewing platform, more than a thousand officers and soldiers from eight companies are like javelins standing upright in the wind, which has a great visual effect.
Chief Yan complimented Yue Weihan with a smile on his face, but Hu Zongnan looked gloomy.
Mr. Zhu was secretly happy, but Mr. Peng didn’t know that Yue Weihan was already his comrade, so his face was serious. As a veteran who had experienced many battles, Mr. Peng could tell at a glance that these officers and soldiers on the school field had
With a strong momentum of "who would rather me than me", this is definitely a steel force capable of fighting big battles and tough battles!
Yue Weihan nodded to Liu Yi, who immediately stood up and stepped forward to preside over the competition.
The competition is divided into three categories: shooting, physical fitness, and unarmed combat!
In the first shooting event, there are 180 people from each company, each with one bullet for live target shooting. Finally, the total score is calculated, and the company with the most rings is the best. As a result of the competition, the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the Tumen Guard Brigade won 1736 rings.
, won the first prize in one fell swoop. After Liu Yi announced the results, Li Qinglong couldn't help but feel extremely proud, but Chi Chengfeng was extremely depressed.
In the second physical fitness category, 180 people from each company ran cross-country with a collective weight. The company with the most people running 10 kilometers within the specified time won. The result was that Li Qinglong stole the show again. His 1st Battalion and 1st Company all reached the finish line within the specified time.
, other companies are slightly inferior in comparison.
This time, Li Qinglong was even more proud.
Chi Chengfeng said extremely depressedly: "One-eyed dragon, I really have you."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Li Qinglong said proudly, "The title of the number one battalion in the world is not earned for nothing."
"Grandma, don't be too damn proud." Chi Chengfeng said fiercely, "There is one last thing to do: hand-to-hand combat."
"You will have no chance of fighting with your bare hands." Li Qinglong curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Except for the special forces brigade's best soldiers, if other companies want to defeat my 1st Battalion and 1st Company, just dream!"
Unarmed combat is actually an unarmed group fight. Eight companies fight in a designated area. The company that is driven out of the designated area first is judged to be the loser. The winning company advances to the next round. The final showdown is between Li Qinglong’s 1st company and Chi Cheng.
Feng's security company competed with each other, but Li Qinglong's 1st company had the last laugh.
Not only did Li Qinglong win five oceans, but he also inflicted heavy losses on Chi Chengfeng, who had lost both money and troops. Liu Yi really couldn't stand it, so he immediately hit Li Qinglong and said, "Okay, Li Qinglong, what little tricks of yours can you do?"
How can you deceive the commander-in-chief if you have deceived others? The commander-in-chief has already noticed that, you just transferred the best of the entire brigade to the 1st company, right?"
Lu Xiufeng, Cao Xinglong and others suddenly realized that the one-eyed dragon was really cunning.
"His grandma!" Chi Chengfeng felt sorry for himself and said angrily, "Pay me back the money, give me five yuan!"
"What are you doing, are you trying to rob or something?" Li Qinglong quickly put five yuan into his pocket and said, "The 1st company is the sharp knife company of our brigade. I originally planned to transfer all the top players in the brigade to the 1st company.
This competition just happened to happen, please don’t be biased, please help Chi Heizi by saying good things."
"Grandma, stop talking nonsense and pay back the money quickly." Chi Chengfeng persisted.
Upon entering, Yue Weihan in the front row suddenly snorted, and Chi Chengfeng and Li Qinglong immediately did not dare to say anything anymore.
Liu Yi smiled, then stood up and stood behind the microphone, announcing loudly: "Now, let's start the queue performance!"
The so-called queue performance is actually the highlight of this competition. Compared with competition events such as shooting, weight-bearing cross-country, and unarmed combat, the queue performance has a more intuitive visual effect and can better reflect the style of an army. When eight
When the company lined up neatly and walked in front of the rostrum in neat goose steps, Commander Yan and others were deeply shocked!
Especially when each company came to the front of the rostrum, the chief officer shouted "Look to the right... look!", and then all 180 people in the company changed their steps from step to step in unison, accompanied by a very rhythmic snapping sound.
, 180 Chinese and formal rifles with good bayonets were also raised forward in unison, and instantly they gathered into rows of cold bayonet forests.
Seeing this scene, even Chief Yan, an old warlord, couldn't help but feel excited!
The reporters who were invited to watch the ceremony pressed the shutter of their cameras repeatedly, recording the heroic phalanxes of Japanese soldiers and the neat forests of bayonets on film forever. A few days later, these photos appeared.
It appeared on the front pages of major newspapers in the Kuomintang-controlled area, and was accompanied by passionate special reports!
Chongqing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
A copy of the Central Daily News was quietly placed on Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's desk. The headline on the front page was a huge photo of the 39th Army's military parade. In the photo, the officers and soldiers of the 39th Army were in high spirits and lined up in strict formation.
The rows of white bayonets almost confused Chairman Chiang’s eyes.
At this moment, Chairman Chiang felt extremely heavy.
Although it was just a photo, Chairman Chiang clearly felt the murderous intent of this army!
Demonstration, Yue Weihan was demonstrating nakedly. He was not only demonstrating against the Communists, but also demonstrating against Jiang. In this way, Yue Weihan was clearly warning him: We are the Thirty-ninth Group Army.
The situation has become such that the *** people can’t do anything to me, and you and Jiang can’t do anything either, so it’s best not to mess with me!
Director Dai stood hunched over, not even daring to breathe.
The Military Command Bureau sent people to assassinate him several times, but in exchange for Yue Weihan's blatant demonstrations and warnings!
Director Dai's ace killer Li Meng, who had spent a lot of time and effort to train him, fell directly into Yue Weihan's arms. Director Dai's heart bleeds when he thinks about it now. This is really a loss of a woman and a loss of soldiers.
Cuimingzhuang, western suburbs of Peiping.
The same Central Daily News was also placed on Okamura Neiji’s desk.
Okamura Neiji put down the newspaper and said to Tanabe Moritake who was standing in front of him: "Tanabe-kun, it seems that Yue Weihan has not been idle in the past three months. Look at these companies in the photos, whether it is the mental outlook of the officers and soldiers,
The orderliness of the queue is not inferior to that of the Guards Division of the Japanese Imperial Army."
"This is just their honor guard, deliberately showing off their force." Moritake Tanabe said suddenly, "What's more, just because the formation is neat does not mean that the soldiers can fight bravely. These companies in the photos look like that, but
If they really get to the battlefield, the imperial army only needs one charge to defeat them."
Okamura Neiji shook his head and said: "Tanabe-kun, have all the field divisions been rested and replenished?"
"Hai." Tanabe Moritake suddenly lowered his head and said, "I report to Commander, that all field divisions have been rested and replenished, and the base camp has once again allocated ammunition reserves for the battle. Now, the main force of the front army can attack Taihang Mountain at any time.
Launch a large-scale offensive operation in Yimeng Mountain or the Sulu border!"
