"Salute, please give a lecture to the principal for the opening ceremony of the third batch of cadets of the Central China Military Academy!"

Han Qumin, the chief instructor of the Central China Military Academy, clasped his heels and gave a standard military salute to Bo Yuzheng on the rostrum. //. Visit 78 Download TXT //

Behind him, hundreds of newly enrolled students raised their hands in unison to salute at the sound of his command.

Bo Yuzheng raised his hand slightly, and Han Qumin turned back in a standard posture, and gave another order to the students: "Sit!"

The students sat down again, with their hands on their knees, their waists straight.

"The Secretariat has prepared a speech for me, but now, I don't plan to use it," Bo Yuzheng looked at the young and energetic faces in the audience, and the eyes full of hope and expectation, and slowly opened his mouth, "I just want to say a few words to you, without embellishment, but from the bottom of my heart." ”

More than 100 people in the audience sat solemnly and looked at the tall man on the rostrum.

"The blood debt of the Jinan tragedy is still in sight, the three northeastern provinces have fallen under the iron heel of the Japanese army, and more than 30 million compatriots are in dire straits. ”

His voice, low and slightly cold, resounded word by word in the silent auditorium: "All the students here, if you apply for the Central China Military Academy, you must be a hot-blooded man who is interested in serving the country." Here, I would like to warn you to learn pure knowledge, to be a pure soldier, and not to get involved in politics. Your loyalty should not be to an individual, to a faction, but to the country. I am your headmaster, but I don't need you to be loyal to me, on the contrary, I want you all to be the ones who step over my corpse and move on after my betrayal of the country. ”

The young faces of the students in the audience all showed a shocked look, and even Han Qumin, Liu Zhanxiao and others were a little surprised by his words.

Yisheng stood in the corner, raised her face slightly, and looked up at her husband on the rostrum, but only saw the calm and resolute in his eyes.

"The duty of a soldier is to defend the land and defend the country. At all times, please remember that you will not forget the country's martyrdom, work hard, serve the battlefield, and serve the country. ”

In fact, strictly speaking, he is not a very good orator, he does not use gesture skills, and the tone of the voice to render the atmosphere, throughout the speech, his voice is like his eyes, steady and calm, not alarmed, but the deep emotions contained under the calm, is to make everyone present moved.

There was silence in the huge auditorium, I don't know who it was, the first to recover from the shock, and then the young man's spirit, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and stood up with a brush, applauding desperately.

One stone stirred up a thousand layers, and all the students and instructors stood up in unison, and for a while, the auditorium burst into thunderous applause.

Han Qumin glanced at the deputy director of the Political Department beside him, although he was also shocked and couldn't help but applaud, but after all, this person was sent by Nanjing, and if today's situation reached Chairman Jiang's ears, it would inevitably arouse his displeasure and suspicion.

After thinking about it, he also discarded the prepared draft, and after the applause subsided, he improvised a concluding speech to ease the situation: "Students, from President Bo's speech just now, it is not difficult for you to understand that today's Huazhong Military Academy, like Huangpu and Baoding, is by no means the same as Li Hongzhang's Huai Army and Yuan Shikai's small station soldiers, and what we have cultivated is no longer a private armed and reckless warlord, but a revolutionary soldier who fights for the nation. In these three years, students will learn tactics, military command, terrain, weapons, military history, city building, simple surveying and mapping, and classics, models, orders, and so on......

After the opening ceremony, Han Qumin personally took a group of military academy instructors and management personnel to accompany Bo Yuzheng to inspect the study and training of the cadets of the military academy, first went to the classrooms and dormitories to see their lectures and living conditions, and then watched the queue training, physical confrontation, bayonet fighting, and shooting training.

Yisheng did not come as Mrs. Bo at this time, so naturally she couldn't stand beside Bo Yuzheng, she followed behind him with Liu Zhanxiao, her eyes hidden under the brim of her hat, and she looked at the bits and pieces of this military academy with great interest.

But suddenly, there was a commotion not far ahead, and I vaguely heard someone shouting, "I've been practicing for a few months, their grades are not qualified, and the whole class doesn't need to be dragged down, Lao Tzu's marksmanship has been practiced enough, send me to another class to learn some other ......"

"Fansen, pick up the gun immediately and enter the line to practice!"

"It's okay to practice, practice something else!"

"Undisciplined, come here, pull him to confiner!"

Bo Yuzheng and Yisheng saw this scene, and Han Qumin naturally saw it, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, the discipline and study of the cadets of the Central China Military Academy have been good since its establishment, why this time, the problem was when Bo Yuzheng came to inspect.

When he saw Bo Yuzheng's steps, he walked over there, his face was quite calm, so he had to stride to follow. After looking at the direction of the training again, he secretly checked the schedule in his mind, and said to Bo Yuzheng while walking: "Principal, this is the student of the second phase and the third class of the company, I will immediately ask the platoon commander to solve it." ”

Bo Yuzheng's voice was faint, "No, it's rare for me to come here, since I met it, I'll go and see it for myself." ”

At this time, two students had already come to force Fan Sen to send him to the confinement room, and he was struggling with a disbelievable face, when he saw their group coming, several of them stopped moving.

Seeing this, Han Qumin said coldly: "Third squad leader!"

The three squad leaders immediately ran over and said, "Here!"

"What's going on, and how did you bring the soldiers?"

"Report to the chief instructor that the third class of the second phase of the first company is conducting shooting training, and a cadet is on strike to make trouble and is preparing to be locked up as a punishment. ”

When Fan Sen heard this, he shouted: "What is Lao Tzu making trouble? How long have you been practicing this project, you ask them, the arm that carries the gun is almost no longer his own, and when he is practicing confrontation, he also kills us to death, do you just count on who killed whom you are satisfied? If I knew this, I might as well continue to follow the axe gang to mix, and I can cut the Japanese with an axe!"

It turned out that before this Fan Sen applied for the military academy, he had been wandering in Shanghai, and later joined the Axe Gang, and he did a lot of murderous things, and he also had the opportunity to touch a gun.

The third squad leader was about to have a seizure, but he heard Bo Yuzheng's voice sound, with the usual coldness in the plainness, but there was no anger, "Why did you choose to apply for the Central China Military Academy in the first place?"

That Fan Sen knew Bo Yuzheng, although he was still unconvinced in his heart, but in the end he still stood up and responded loudly: "Report to the principal, my hometown is Jinan, my mother and sister died at the hands of the Japanese, I went to the Central China Military Academy, I just heard that the principal is righteous, I just hope that one day I can follow the principal to the battlefield to avenge my mother and sister!"

"If you want to take revenge, you can't even endure such a little bitterness?" Bo Yuzheng still asked him lightly.

Fan Sen's neck was thick: "Who said I can't endure hardship, I just think that this kind of training is meaningless, after practicing for so long, I have learned everything I should learn, and it is time to change to the next one, what's the point of spending it all the time?"

"Do you think your marksmanship is already good?" Bo asked again.

"At least there is no problem in going into battle and killing the Japanese. Fansen had a look of pride on his face.

Bo Yuzheng shook his head slightly, "How can you kill the Japanese? Shoot indiscriminately, or kill with one shot? What Central China wants to cultivate is not just soldiers who can shoot, but to let you do it without missing a shot." ”

"Headmaster, are you kidding?"

"Not only can you save the consumption of ammunition, but also avoid exposing the muzzle flame when firing in bursts, so as to better conceal yourself, do you think I'm kidding?"

"Of course I know that, but how many of them can really do it without missing a shot?" so many generals and those German instructors probably don't have this ability!" said Fansen.

What he actually wanted to say was, "I'm afraid you don't have this ability, principal", but he still held back when the words came to his mouth.

Bo Yuzheng smiled faintly, "It's better like this, I'll try a round of marksmanship with you, and if you win me, I'll approve you to change the practice." ”

There was a look of eagerness in Fansen's eyes, he was used to going straight and immodest, raised his gun to aim at the target position in the distance, and then "snapped" and fired.

The soldier who reported the target raised the humanoid target, and the empty bullets of one magazine, the guns and guns all fell on the target, and several shots hit the vital point.

"For beginners, good results. Bo Yuzheng glanced at it and said lightly.

"Headmaster, it's your turn. ”

"When you fight, the enemy won't stand still and wait for you to fight," Bo Yuzheng said lightly, "change the moving target." ”

Fan Sen was a little disapproving, feeling that Bo Yuzheng was too big, in fact, he was not the only one who had such thoughts, many people present were skeptical, but they didn't dare to show it, after all, although Bo Yuzheng can be regarded as a generation of famous generals, but he is in a high position, and his main job is to strategize and command the war, and it is rare to have the opportunity to go to the front line to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy.

Although Yisheng knew that her husband never did anything he was not sure of, he couldn't help but be a little nervous in such a scene.

She looked at him, and he slowly raised his gun, his eyes sharpened and focused for that moment.

"Bang bang bang ......" The gunshots rang out.

At that moment, his whole person seemed to be fused with the spear, and like a clouded leopard, stealthily hunting, striking swiftly, and hitting with one blow.

His movements were simple and practical, without any superfluous postures, clean and neat, and he didn't even aim much, without the slightest hesitation, and shot a magazine in a standing position.

After a while, the soldier who reported the target sent the humanoid target over, and everyone's eyes looked at it together, and the bullet holes on the humanoid target were almost scattered in the center of the eyebrows and hearts, and everyone present couldn't help but look solemn.

Bo Yuzheng put down his gun, his eyes were still dull and dull, but he was so sharp but not exposed, and he was not obvious, but his ability and demeanor to take the first rank of a general in a million army shocked all the students present, including the instructors.

"Then practice. He spoke faintly at Fansen, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Yes!" Fan Sen's waist straightened, and his cry was earth-shattering.

He nodded, said no more, and continued to the next place.

He was busy with military affairs, and it was impossible for him to stay at the Central China Military Academy for too long, so after inspecting the circle, he was accompanied by Han Qumin and others out of the military academy.

"You two come over and I'll sit in the car. He said to Yisheng and Liu Zhanxiao behind him.

"Yes. ”

Liu Zhanxiao naturally took the order, and Yisheng also followed Bo Yuzheng's car.

"When will you have time to teach me how to shoot a gun?" The car drove some distance, she took off the hat on her head casually, and asked him with great interest, as if he still had the appearance of when he raised the gun in front of him, calm and calm, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.

"Good. "He responds to her, the times are turbulent, and it is always good for her to have more self-defense skills.

"How long do I have to practice like you? a year, two years, three or five years, or longer, and how did you do it?" she asked with a smile, her eyes lit up.

He smiled, "The real bullet has no false shots, you have to go to the battlefield, and you can only practice it with live ammunition and blood." I also started as the most ordinary soldier, and when I fought a lot, I felt that I came out, and I hit it with one hit. Of course, the premise is that you have to play a solid foundation on the training ground first. But if you only work the training ground and don't go to actual combat, you won't be able to. When you get to the front line, you will also empty your guns. ”

"Then I don't have any hope of making it?" she said with a little disappointment.

He smiled at her, "You just need to practice to defend yourself." ”

In fact, she also said that she was even more reckless, how dare she really hope to be able to practice to the same level as him, so she didn't care too much, suddenly thought of a thought, and said with a smile: "I know for the first time, it turns out that going to military school is much more painful than going to college, is it the same for all military schools, or is it just you who are so ruthless?"

Her words were originally joking, but he gradually smiled, his expression a little heavy, "I have to make sure that the soldiers I take to the front line have the ability to come back alive, so I'd rather let them get injured in training." People who can't persevere won't be the right candidates, and I can't let people die in vain. ”

She didn't know what to say for a while, and even Liu Zhanxiao and the driver in the front row looked solemn when they heard this.

After a long time, she reached out to shake his hand and smiled softly at him, "Don't worry, they will all be as you expect." ”

He nodded, holding her hand with his backhand, his fingers interlocked, the warmth of his palm stretched, and outside the car window, there was a large area of bright sunshine.

The smile on her lips deepened, and she suddenly thought that it would be good if the car kept driving like this.

However, no matter how far the road is, there is always a time to arrive.

When Bo Yuzheng helped her out of the car, her lips were still smiling, and she didn't know what was waiting for her ahead.
