On behalf of the whole battalion, Luo Yue expressed his gratitude to the soldiers who were transferred out of the first battalion and wished them to maintain their good appearance in the first battalion and achieve broader future development when they went to other units. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info and ask them to sign a military flag. After some of the fighters signed their names, they couldn't help crying, and the scene was quite touching.

When Lin Mu and He Wenjing came to the station of the first battalion, they were just in time for the soldiers to say goodbye, so they did not alarm Luo Yue, but waited on the side.

Later, Luo Yue welcomed the new soldiers who joined the first battalion, and also introduced the soldiers who had been promoted, and encouraged the soldiers to train hard and strive to perform well in previous battles. Then it was announced that they would assemble at 1 o'clock in the afternoon to participate in the field training of the whole group.

The People's Army's plan to prepare for an attack on Beijing is known only to officers at the battalion and regimental level; after all, whether or not this plan will be implemented depends on the outcome of the negotiations in Shanghai, but the preparations that should be made still have to be made, and the collective field training of the whole regiment is an important preparation.

Because the first and second regiments are fully established, including three combat battalions, one rapid-fire field artillery battalion, equipped with 18 German Type 1896 77mm rapid-fire field guns, one howitzer battalion, equipped with 12 German Type 1898 105mm light howitzers, and also a regimental engineer company, transport company, logistics support company, communication reconnaissance company, as well as a guard platoon and health platoon directly under the regiment headquarters, with a total strength of about 3,500 troops.

Although this strength is not much, since the founding of the People's Army, this is already the largest establishment, and the two regiment commanders have been directly promoted from the company commanders, although they have been the battalion commanders in the middle, but it has only been 3 or 4 months, and at that time there were only more than 400 people in a battalion, and now it has almost expanded nearly 10 times all at once, so how to command the whole regiment to fight, the coordination and cooperation between the battalions, and between the combat battalions and the artillery battalions, it is natural to strengthen training, otherwise if the Beijing Campaign is really carried out, I am afraid that there will be a big chaos. This three-day field training was to train the whole regiment to cooperate and cooperate.

It was only at this time that Lin Mu and He Wenjing came to Luo Yue and expressed their desire to visit the first battalion.

Luo Yue had already received a notice and knew that a reporter had come to the barracks today to pay a visit, and that the army headquarters had already asked all units to do their best to cooperate, and just now on the big playground, he also saw He Wenjing running around in front of the rostrum, taking pictures on and off the stage. In the old time and space, after he won the title of "Sharp Knife Platoon Leader", he had been interviewed several times, although they were all military newspapers, but he also knew how to deal with reporters, what to say and what not to say.

So Luo Yue immediately welcomed Lin Mu and He Wenjing's visit, first introduced them to the situation of the first battalion, those battles they had experienced before, and also took them to visit the barracks, and also answered their questions. And at their request, some crossing soldiers and local fighters were called to take pictures and answer questions.

Facing the camera, the crossing warriors are calm and unhurried, and they respond decently. After all, I haven't eaten pork in the old time and space, and I've always seen pigs running, and the local warriors have seen this, especially a man with a hair on his head, carrying something that I don't know what it is to himself, and there is a tall young woman, I don't know what kind of clothes she is wearing, the straight tube of the blouse is like a bell, and the pants are tightly crumbling to outline two long legs and the curve of the hips, which makes people dare not go straight, and also holds a long stick, only a little bit to pestle their faces, and as a result, they are all nervous, and they are stammering when they speak。

The other Lin Mu and He Wenjing's questions are very simple, that is, "Where are the people?", "What did you do before?", "Why do you want to join the People's Army?", "How do you feel about being in the People's Army?", "What battles have you experienced?", etc., are all very routine questions, after all, Lin Mu often visited the army in the old time and space, and knew what to ask and what not to ask.

And the answers are almost the same, the soldiers who join the People's Army are basically poor people, and a small number of them are small businessmen or Boxer members, and most of them join the People's Army because they are desperate, and some of them are out of gratitude to the People's Army or to fight foreigners, of course, they all say that they are very good in the People's Army, and they can be respected, dignified, and fed.

The interview lasted for about an hour and a half, but the two finally showed the soldiers the scene they had just shot from the camera and camera, which aroused the strong interest of the local soldiers. Some even say it's not a spell.

A veteran who had joined since the formation of the People's Army heard this, and said disdainfully: "I don't know anything, what kind of spell, I still think it's the Boxer Rebellion?" There are many strange things among the leaders, not to mention these two strange things, some of the leaders have small cards, which can not only print images, but also many other things, as well as lights that can be lit without ignition, and poles that can make sounds. ”

The warrior who asked if it was a spell immediately asked, "What is science?"

The veteran glanced at him and said: "Just like the foreigner's big iron boat can float on the water, the car can run on its own without horse-pulling, and the wire can communicate, these things are not spells, but science and technology, but these science and technology that foreigners will have, what big iron ships, the leaders of Huodong will, and some foreigners will not, and the chiefs will also, just like these things that can print real people; You can use it, Li Zhuangyong, the tricks you used to play in the group, don't use it in the People's Army, the leaders said, what is that feudal superstition, or not. ”

Listening to his disdain for the Boxers, Li Zhuangyong was about to refute, but then he only felt that his sleeve had been pulled, and when he turned his head, he turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Haidong, obviously preventing him from contending with the veteran.

Li Zhuangyong didn't speak when he saw it, but squeezed out of the crowd with Jiang Haidong, and the two of them came to the side, and Li Zhuangyong said stupidly: "What the hell, when I was in Beijing to make a group, the prince and the prince have seen a lot, and the palace has been in twice, and he is the oldest." ”

Jiang Haidong persuaded: "Brother Li, are you still thinking about the troubles? When you joined the People's Army, didn't the chief say it? The Boxer Rebellion has been overturned, and there is no such thing in the People's Army. ”

Li Zhuangyong smiled bitterly and said: "Then what if you can say forget it, forget it? I joined the People's Army because I wanted to avenge the brothers and sisters who made trouble, and kill all the foreigners, so that I could endure the anger of the People's Army." ”

Jiang Haidong said: "Brother Li, I didn't say it, when we first made a group, although it looked lively, but in fact it was not vulnerable at all, that is, bullying Ermaozi, foreign monks or something, I really met the army of foreigners, and it was not an opponent at all, and those senior brothers' spells, don't blame us, in fact, they are all deceptive things, what kind of magic skills, invulnerability, what is the result?" A row of guns fell a large piece, but the People's Army started fighting, that is solid and powerful, although we did not follow the People's Army to fight foreigners, but you also participated in the fight against bandits, and the bandits were beaten miserably, and the Boxers were replaced, it was so easy. That's why I said that since I joined the People's Army, I should stop thinking about making trouble and work hard in the People's Army. ”

After a pause, Jiang Haidong leaned closer, lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the chiefs came back from overseas this time, not to help the Qing Dynasty fight foreigners, but to prepare to seize the Qing Dynasty and seat the Dragon Court themselves." ”

Li Zhuangyong was also taken aback and said, "Is this true?"

Jiang Haidong said: "I think it should be true, you think, the Qing Dynasty is Manchu sitting in the world, and the chiefs are not Manchu, why protect the Qing Dynasty, they are all descendants of the remnants of the original Ming Dynasty, as well as the old ministry of the country, and now it is just to recapture the ancestors of the country." Besides, the chiefs can beat the foreigners to the ground, and the Qing Dynasty can't even beat the foreigners, that is the opponent of the chiefs; if you are the chief, will you be willing to be an official in the Qing Dynasty, as the saying goes, 'the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year' So if we work hard in the people's army, the leaders will really sit in the Dragon Court in the future, and we can be regarded as the founding heroes. ”

Listening to Jiang Haidong's words, Li Zhuangyong also fell silent. Both of them joined the People's Army after the Battle of Qingdao, because they had worked in the Boxers before, had a certain amount of combat experience, and had also practiced a few tricks, and they were much stronger than ordinary peasants in terms of ability and knowledge, so they were both incorporated into the first battalion.

In the battle of the bandits in Jiaozhou Bay, both of them were natives of Shandong, and they ran all over Shandong during the Boxers, and they were more familiar with the environment, terrain, and bandits here, and they had very good performances, and this reorganization, because the first battalion transferred some soldiers and vacated the position of a junior officer, so both of them were promoted from ordinary soldiers to squad leaders, and they were in charge of about 11 soldiers under their hands.

However, Jiang Haidong joined the People's Army a little earlier than Li Zhuangyong, and also experienced the battle of Jingdao, of course, he did not participate directly, at that time, as a servant of the People's Army, he basically experienced the entire battle process, and his understanding of the People's Army was deeper than Li Zhuangyong. And he participated in the Boxer Rebellion, mainly in Shandong activities, and did not go to Beijing, although Shandong is the birthplace of the Boxer Rebellion, but the Boxer Movement is in the Beijing and Tianjin area, so he does not have much obsession with the Boxers, but is more convinced of the People's Army, after joining the People's Army, he did not think about the Boxer Rebellion, he just wants to work hard in the People's Army and have a good future in the future.
