Chapter 43: No Piece of Armor Remains

The people below were a little commotion when they heard the whole plan, Wang Yue knocked on the table and said: "In order to meet the needs of the situation, I have made the following changes to the content of our recent training: three kilometers of weight-bearing cross-country in the morning and evening, bayonet training, and cultural classes in the evening remain unchanged. Other training programs have been temporarily cancelled, and all this time will be used for live-fire training for all branches of the military, as well as driving training for motor vehicles. Okay, what questions do you guys have? You can speak your mind. ”

Zhou Yan, the commander of the second battalion, said with a smile: "Regiment commander, why don't we equip armor with such powerful equipment?" ”

He also saw that there was no shortage of iron in the city of the starting point, because iron was used everywhere.

Wang Yue shook his head and said, "So our army is too short, especially the lack of understanding of the weapons we use. We use powerful ranged firepower to eliminate our opponents from a safe distance. If armor is equipped, it will affect the speed of action of our soldiers. A pair of armor costs at least 20 catties, and with these 20 catties, our soldiers can carry more ammunition and destroy more enemies, instead of making a pair of heavy and strong armor waiting for the enemy to cut with a knife. Therefore, strong armor is a passive defense, just as the imperial court relied on fortified cities to deal with the Tartars. The purpose of our army is to attack, to attack, to attack with indomitable progress. ”

Zhou Yan felt that what Wang Yue said was quite reasonable, and said rightly: "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

Wang Yue waved his hand to him and said, "You sit down, today we are talking freely, don't be so serious." I'm negative about armor, but I think helmets are necessary, because the head is the most important part. Each of you has a helmet, but unfortunately you can't wear it because the bun is in the way. That's why I recommend a short haircut for the whole army, like me. ”

As he spoke, he took off his helmet, revealing his short hair. This is what he looks at in the mirror and takes care of himself.

The venue immediately buzzed. Today, Wang Yue is wearing a camouflage uniform and a helmet, they are still strange! Now that I look at it, it turns out that this is what happened. That Wang Zhuo must have also been picked, because he was also wearing a helmet.

Zhang Jicheng said softly to Wang Yue: "Sihua! Uh, the head of the group! Isn't that appropriate? ”

Wang Lixin, the commander of the fourth company of the second battalion, said bitterly: "The head of the regiment, the body is skinny, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also." You can't remove your hair! ”

Li Zixuan, the commander of the third battalion, said with a smile: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, how can there be so much nonsense? You don't want military life, do you still care about your skin? ”

Chief of Staff Li Zixiong said to Wang Yue: "Regiment Commander, please think twice!" ”

Wang Anmin, commander of the seventh company of the third battalion, also said: "Please think twice!" ”

Feng Yuanshan, the commander of the first battalion and the first company, said loudly: "We will do what the regiment commander orders us to do, and we can start with our company first." Please don't forget how our days came to be. ”

When Wang Anmin, the commander of the seventh company, heard this, he immediately retorted: "I haven't forgotten the kindness of the regiment commander to us. However, it is unfilial piety to shave your hair! ”

Zhang Ying, the commander of the first platoon of the seventh company, said: "Regiment commander, as long as you give an order, I guarantee that our platoon will execute it immediately!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the three squad leaders of the first platoon of the Seventh Company all said: "Regiment Commander, you just have to give orders." ”

Wang Anmin glared at Zhang Ying and said, "Zhang Ying, you? ”

Zhang Ying ignored him and sat down on his own.

Wang Yue looked at Zhang Ying meaningfully, knocked on the table and said, "Let's be quiet first." ”

After the venue was quiet, he said: "The body is skinny, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also." This is a passage from Confucius's "Book of Filial Piety", Confucius believed that the life and body of children come from their parents, and they should not be destroyed, but cherished, which is the basic filial piety. Notice the word destruction, which means destruction and injury. Please also note that people usually trim their nails, repair their beards, and repair their hair for the sake of beauty and convenience. At this time, why don't you mention the skin of the body, and the parents who suffer it dare not destroy it? Because it's not destruction, it's for beauty. Then we cut our hair short for convenience, and it can't be considered damage. I can also see that the main reason for some people's opposition is that they are not used to it, and this can be slowly adapted! ”

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he looked at Wang Zhuo, who had not spoken next to him, and said, "Head Wang, let's talk about it too." ”

Wang Zhuo also accepted Wang Yue's persuasion after a fierce ideological struggle last night.

Seeing Wang Yue's roll call, he also took off his steel helmet and said, "The head of the regiment discussed this matter with me yesterday, and I couldn't turn around. ”

He smiled and scratched his short hair and said, "But then I thought about it, what Mr. Tuan said also made sense." Isn't it just that you can't change your habits? To be filial piety, it is not necessary to use superficial articles, but to be filial piety to be practical is the real filial piety. But seriously, a short haircut is more comfortable than the previous long hair, brothers can try it. ”

After he finished speaking, there were many people laughing at the bottom.

Wang Yue answered: "Okay, this matter will be like this first!" Who has any other questions? ”

Li Zixuan asked: "Mr. Tuan, are we going to fight recently?" ”

Not only him, but others are also concerned about this issue. Judging from the content of today's reorganization, the militia will be very strong. With such a strong strength, if you don't fight a dozen, you can really hold back internal injuries.

"Okay," Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking forward to it, Wang Yue walked to the map hanging on the wall and said: "Then I will report the situation, according to reliable information: Huang Taiji, the puppet emperor of the Tartars, has sent Azig, the king of Doluo Wuying, to lead the Eight Banners of Bel Abatai to command 100,000 soldiers, and has set off to attack the Ming Dynasty." It is expected that on June 27 of the Gregorian calendar, that is, 9 days later, the Xifeng Pass and Dushi Pass of the Great Wall will be crossed, here and here. The target of the Tartars is the Gyeonggi region, and in terms of distance, it is estimated that in 20 days, we will be able to meet the strikers of the Tartars in Wanpyeong. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, the Tartars came and the venue immediately buzzed.

Li Zixiong said: "Mr. Tuan, say it!" How do we do that? ”

Zhou Yan said excitedly: "Yes, the head of the group!" We're going to kill them and leave them behind. ”

Wang Yue saw that they were very motivated, and said with a smile: "You guys! It's like a child holding a fun toy and rushing to show it off! ”

The officers laughed!

Wang Yue continued: "I have to remind you that the Tartars are 100,000, and we are only in our early 1,000s. Our weapons are heavily logistically dependent, so we are not yet able to sustain long-range operations. Another thing to keep in mind is that we can't be too ostentatious yet, because it will take time for us to develop. If we wrap all the tartars, what will the court think? ”

Everyone laughed again!

Seeing that their morale was very high, Wang Yue was also very pleased. A soldier must have the invincible arrogance of Lao Tzu in the world, like the Ming army that seeing a Tartar is like a cat seeing a mouse, it is unacceptable.

"In response to the coming war, we will conduct a mass conscription. Recruit battalion commander Wang He! Wang Yue said by name.

"Here!" Wang He stood up and responded.

"In the past few days, the number of ordinary people who have entered the starting point city to work has increased to six or seven hundred per day, and there are still more than 10,000 workers in the starting point city. I order you to take your original company, recruit 2,000 men within 10 days, and complete basic training within 20 days. Is there a problem? ”

"No problem!" Wang He said loudly.

Wang Yue said: "Brothers, we are very short of time, so we must hurry up training." The meeting was now adjourned, and Chief of Staff Li Zixiong remained. ”
