The Xianjun garrison has a large water tank for special use and water storage, which was previously installed on the medium truck and moved with the army, and was placed in various camps in Yongpingliang County for water storage after being stationed, and the water was pumped from the small river 20 miles southwest of the river, and disinfectant tablets were put into the tank for sterilization. The hot water room is dedicated to boiling hot water, and it is also responsible for bathing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a large tiger stove.

Although the water tank is not full of water in real time, it should not be cut off, and the Zhoukong barracks are located in the large camp of the Xian army, and the water tank of the Xian army is empty, and other military camps can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan and Zhou Kong said:

"I'll take a look."

"Just tell others, for some water, you have to go yourself."

"That being said, if someone neglects their duties, it kills everyone."

The water tanks of the Xian army were not only used for daily needs, but also for firefighting, and the interruption of water storage was undoubtedly dangerous.

Leaving the tent in Zhoukong, Bailiyan went straight to the water supply station, but did not hear the noise of the water pump, which means that the water tank is empty, but the pump is not working to replenish water. When I walked into the pump room, several maintenance workers had already disassembled a water pump, and when they saw Baili Yan coming, they all got up and saluted:

"See General."

"Hmm." Bailiyan calmed his face, answered, and then asked everyone: "But the pump is damaged." ”

The head of the technical officer stepped forward and said:

"After I disassembled it, I didn't find that the pump was damaged, and the diesel engine was working normally, but it just couldn't pump water."

"Then can someone send someone to check the water and pipes?"

"General Hui, someone has been sent to investigate, and there will be news from time to time."

"Hmm." Bai Liyan nodded, glanced at the three water pumps on the ground, and then asked the technical officer, "When did you find the abnormality?" ”

"The anomaly is that at dawn this morning, I found that 11 of the 12 water tanks in the camp were mostly empty, and when I replenished the water, I found that I couldn't pump water, thinking that the pump machine was damaged."

"Repair as soon as possible and restore the water supply."

"No!"

Commanding everyone, Bai Liyan took a turn outside the pump room, and checked the fifteen water tanks nearby, and the water valve really couldn't even release a drop of water.

Since there was no water in the battalion, the soldiers had to go to the well to line up to fetch water, so that at each well, there were queues of dozens or even hundreds of people.

Returning to the East Gate Command Post on foot, the guards had already prepared breakfast, and after Bailiyan sat down, he picked up the telephone on the table and called Yongping Zhao Huan:

"General Zhao, you still have water there."

"Water?" Zhao Huan was puzzled, and then asked: "Liang County is short of water?" ”

"Yes, there are some problems with the pipeline, and the water supply in the city is inconvenient, so you can send twenty truckloads of water there first to solve my urgent need for water."

"Okay, I'll have someone pump it right away."

After agreeing with Zhao Huan, Bai Liyan hung up the phone and started to eat.

The standard of meals for officers and soldiers of the Xian Army is the same, and there is no special treatment. Of course, it is not absolute, senior generals can still open small stoves, as long as they are not excessive, do not extravagant and wasteful, and do not open eight treasures banquet, abalone and sea cucumber wings, in principle, appropriate improvements are allowed.

However, while eating, there was a faint commotion, and Bai Liyan frowned and called out to the guards:

"Someone."

The guards marched into the tent and saluted:

"What does the lieutenant marshal command?"

"What's the commotion outside?"

"I don't know if my subordinates want to go and check it out."

"Well, let's go."

"No!"

About a quarter of an hour later, the guards returned to their tents:

"Deputy Marshal Qiyu, it was Liang Jun who fought himself in order to get water."

"Hmph." Bai Liyan snorted coldly, and then said, "Go, bring me Yu Kangyu, the governor of the Liang army." ”

"No!"

Yu Kang was transferred to Yongping in mid-September, and his predecessor Zhao Mo was transferred out of Yongping at the same time, although Zhao Mo had no way to use troops, in fact, Zhao Mo was friendly with Yuke, and he was previously sent to fight against Yuke to avoid losses for the Liang army.

Friendship with Yuke will naturally inherit the relationship with Bailiyan, and the casualties in the battle in August are not small, Liang Tianzi did not see the Xian army participating in the battle Liang Jun has any good fruits to eat, so he was worried that Zhao Mo would help Bailiyan too much and hurt his vitality, so he transferred Yu Kang to take over.

About a moment passed, Yu Kang came to the tent, and saw Bailiyan's face flat in front of the desk, Yu Kang stepped forward and gave a slight salute:

"Yu has seen Yongxing Hou, I don't know what Yongxing Hou has to say."

"General Yu, the noble army is fighting among themselves because of taking water, but there is such a thing."

Yu Kang did not deny it, he said bluntly:

"It is true that there is a dispute because the water tank is exhausted and the well water is insufficient. Now it is the time of the start, and there is no water to get out of the pot, so the various camps are resentful. ”

"It's only been more than an hour since the water was cut off, and I fought for the water of the basin, and the war will be more difficult in the future.

"Yes, what Yongxing Hou said is very true, and he will be strictly restrained in the future."

"That's good, Ben Hou has transferred water from Yongping, and it will arrive soon. General Yu returned to the camp to appease the army, and did not want to change. ”

"I see."

The system of the Liang army was still stuck in the old aristocratic feudal era, and although the reform and social development of the Xian State prompted various countries to nominally downplay the fact of the existence of slaves, the strict hierarchy of social classes still existed, and the army was a typical hard-hit area.

An army without an advanced military system, no matter how powerful its combat effectiveness is, is still not a sustainable and inheritable army in the true sense.

In the era of backward productivity and material scarcity, eating a bowl of full rice to get ahead and becoming a master is driven by biological instinct and the lowest survival needs, but without these three magic weapons, the morale of the army is questionable.

Of course, there are also Mourning Jedi methods available, but that's only a few cases.

Although it is inevitable that modern armies will adopt rewards and punishments for military merit and material rewards to motivate morale and set examples, they are only auxiliary measures, not absolute universal means.

The core of the modern army is the patriotism and national cultural identity sublimated by basic education, coupled with the state system and a perfect logistical support system, there is an essential gap between the modern army and the old army, and finally reflected in reality, the most obvious external manifestation is military discipline and quality.

In the face of difficulties in the modern army, the soldiers and officers at the grassroots level first of all how to resolve the difficulties and at the same time report to the authorities and wait for measures to deal with them, while in the old army, it was almost common for them to gather crowds to make trouble at least and immediately rebel at worst.

Although there are various reasons for a modern army, and even related phenomena have occurred in the past 10 years or so during the transformation of the Xian army, it is by no means a universal problem.

At present, the Liang army is only fighting for water and making food, and the war has subsided a little in the previous stage, and all kinds of incidents of stealing materials from the Xian army are like locusts, and even barbed wire fences have been erected, and they will dig tunnels. The fundamental reason is that the Liang society is stuck in the late stage of the old aristocratic slavery, and the material scarcity caused by poor social productivity.

The supply conditions of the Liang army should be said to be the best among the princes except for the Xian army, and the agricultural productivity of the Xian army has increased greatly compared with thirty years ago, and the ordinary soldiers can ensure the supply of meat products at least three times a month, and the higher the military rank of the military attaché, the more the relevant rations.

This, of course, was limited to the supply of supplies under the old army system.

Compared with the Xianjun, who can guarantee a meal of meat, and even a variety of snacks, as well as additional snacks such as biscuits, candy, nuts, cheese, etc., Liang Jun's food supply is much dwarfed, and it is not surprising that this has led to thefts

In addition to food, Liang Jun also stole medicines, arms, and daily necessities, but everything that was useful, what they didn't have, they stole everything, even salt, vegetable oil, socks, pots and pans. In this way, it is not difficult to wonder that there will be a big fight for a sip of water, and the essence is still a huge social gap.

The water problem was alleviated after Zhao Huan brought the water to Liang County, and the water pump resumed pumping at the same time, but it was found that the water volume in the upstream decreased after the autumn, causing the water level to drop downstream, and the rubber pipe for water intake was higher than the river level, making it impossible to pump water.

The next morning, the fog was thick and the visibility was less than thirty paces, Bai Liyan called Jiang Jie Mo Yunfeng, urging them to strengthen their vigilance and strictly prevent them from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Compared with the night, foggy weather is the most beneficial for the armpits, and at night they can also light up the position with flares, but the fog cannot be dispersed with strong light, and the axillary people can rely on the infrared field of view to observe the characteristics of the human heat source, and the result is that the battlefield is one-way axillary transparent, they can see you, and you can't see them.

After a brief wash, Bailiyan went out of the east gate to inspect the Liang army camp stationed inside and outside the east gate. When passing through the East Gate, more than a dozen Liang soldiers gathered at a well southwest of the East Gate and were digging the wellhead, which was already the third construction site that Bailiyan saw along the way.

This well is very close to the east gate, most of the cities will dig some water facilities near the city gate, it is a water point for passers-by to drink water and feed horses, and it is also used for fighting fires and getting water in wartime, and some pergola post stations will be built near the well in peacetime for rest, and most of these facilities were destroyed in the war.

In addition, the well water under the city wall also has the function of observing the underground digging holes, which is a measure that Bailiyan has never seen in his previous life. Since tunnels were excavated in the tunnels, it was inevitable that the underground water system would have to be changed, so that the water level of the wells along the city walls would drop significantly.

It is not surprising that there was a brief drop in the water level and interruption of the water supply due to yesterday's water supply interruption, but it is strange to see three wells along the way being dug and dredged for repair, which is a bit confusing.

After many years of use, the well will affect the quality of the water source due to the siltation of mud, dust and even debris, and even block the water eye, so it needs to be cleaned and repaired regularly, but at the same time, this problem occurs, and the probability is too high.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan turned over and dismounted and came to the well, and the soldiers of the Liang army saw that it was a senior general of the Xian army, and then leaned over and saluted:

"I've seen the general."

"It's all excused."

"General Xie."

Bai Liyan came to the mouth of the well that had been dug and looked down at the bottom of the well, and the mud at the bottom of the well could be seen with the naked eye that the water depth was less than one foot. Seeing this, Bai Liyan was even more puzzled.

Yesterday afternoon, the water supply was solved, and the utilization rate of well water should return to normal, and after a night of replenishment, no matter how silted up the water eye is, it should not be less than a foot deep.
