Wu was a soldier from the army, but he didn't like to wear military uniforms much in his barracks. He was always dressed in a white robe, hunched over, and paced slowly through the barracks. I don't know, I really think that this old pedant got lost in the barracks! Today happens to be the day when the division pays the military salary, and every time Wu takes the trouble to inspect the barracks.

When Vasily and the others approached the barracks, the sergeant was paying the soldiers, and Wu admired the table and watched. He saw Li Da and them, but he just raised his head without any expression on his face.

"Wang Fugui." The sergeant shouted.

"This is your salary for this month, you check it, and if there is no problem, sign it." The sergeant pushed a small paper bag in front of the soldier.

After the soldier finished signing, he saluted Wu Peifu and went down.

Qingtong shook his head, he complained, "Isn't it necessary for him to pay a salary?" Let's stand here dry. ”

Vasily whispered back, "The purpose of this is to prevent his subordinates from deducting military salaries and stealing empty quotas." There is no hurry, we wait for him. ”

"The money has been distributed! Attention. The sergeant turned to salute Wu Peifu. Report to the marshal, the three regiments, four battalions, and six companies are paid in full, and the marshal is asked to give instructions. ”

Wu Peifu nodded, "Please take a break." ”

Wu Peifu didn't say anything, he walked among the soldiers and personally sorted out their clothes and hats. There was a small hole in a soldier's chest, and Wu Peifu asked angrily. "Why is this soldier's padded clothes rotten?"

The sergeant reported, "Sir, several of them are newly recruited soldiers, and the new cotton clothes from the quartermaster department have not yet been delivered. So they wore old cotton clothes that the veterans had replaced. ”

Wu Peiyi said to the soldier, "You take off your cotton clothes, now, take them off immediately." ”

The soldier did not dare to refuse, and took off his cotton clothes.

Wu Peifu turned to the sergeant and said, "You take off your cotton clothes and put them on for him." When the new padded clothes of the Quartermaster Department arrive, you will wear them again. ”

The sergeant saluted, "Yes!" ”

Vasily nodded, and he said to Lida, "You see this man is very careful, very attentive to details, and he remembers everything about the warrior on his own. How could such a person not win the battle! ”

Li Da nodded, "The order is forbidden, fair and just, and the direct army has indeed done a good job in this regard." ”

Wu Peifu walked in front of Vasi, he clenched his fists and arched his hand, "I've kept you waiting." Today coincides with my inspection of military affairs, are you interested in inspecting with Wu? ”

Vasily nodded, and he stretched out a hand to signal Wu Peifu to lead the way. Wu and Vasily walked ahead, followed by Qingtong and Li Da.

"Vasily was born in the army, and there is always sympathy between soldiers!" Qingtong whispered to Li Da.

"No wonder he said that Mr. Sun was an unrealistic dreamer, and that these soldiers were the most pragmatic." Li Da responded.

Wu Peifu led everyone into the dormitory of a class. The dormitory was very tidy, the sheets were spotless, and each quilt was a standard tofu block. This class was studying intensively, and the class leader saw Wu Peifu coming in, and was about to salute, but Wu Peifu made a shushing gesture to signal him to continue working.

"Therefore, since the end of the Russo-Japanese War, our northeast has been forcibly divided from Changchun into two sections, north and south. Foreigners call the north part of the country North Manchuria, and the south side of South Manchuria. The Russians and the Japanese respectively occupied the most advantageous transportation arteries in Northeast China, and the precious mineral resources and forest resources of our Northeast were forcibly occupied by them. This is an encroachment on the interests of our nation and an act of banditry. The squad leader said angrily.

A soldier asked suspiciously, "Then why don't we go to the Northeast, drive Lao Maozi and Little Japan away, and let the Northeast be owned by us again." ”

The squad leader shook his head, "How can you let you bite off the meat in someone else's mouth." After speaking, the squad leader got up and saluted Wu Peifu. Report to the commander, our class is carrying out learning activities. ”

The soldiers of a squad all stood up and saluted Wu Peifu, and they saw that there was also a foreigner standing behind Wu Peifu, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

Vasily was a little embarrassed at this time.

"What your squad leader just said is very good. However, I would like to correct one point, the Northeast is still our territory, and it has not been taken by foreigners, who only have the right to garrison troops and a part of the lease and treaty ports. The Tohoku will not be taken away by foreigners from the past, until it will not be. Wu Peifu said loudly.

Li Da looked at Wu Peifu with admiration, although everyone has different positions with each other, their patriotism is the same.

Wu Peifu took Vasily to inspect the barracks, and when he walked to the place where the military boots were placed, Wu Peifu stopped. "Why are the boots placed like this? As I said, at an angle of forty-five degrees, with the tip of the shoe facing the doorway. ”

The squad leader checked it, "Yes, Dashuai, I'll rectify it immediately." ”

"What is a soldier, all actions are highly unified. No matter how many people there are, they have to look like one person, get it? Wu Peifu asked.

The soldiers replied neatly. "Yes."

Vasily highly appreciated Wu Peifu's words, and he turned back to Chen Qingtong and said, "I thought that only our Soviet sergeants could polish their shoes so brightly, but I didn't expect the same to be true of Wu's army." ”

Qingtong said suspiciously, "Is there anything special about this?" ”

Li Da was also very curious, "The important thing for a soldier is to protect his family and defend the country, why should he be so serious about shining shoes?" ”

Vasily waved his hand, "You have never been a soldier, so naturally you don't know the truth here. Cultivating a soldier's rigorous style is the most basic creed of sergeant education. Shoe shine may seem like a trivial matter, and it is necessary to be meticulous in such a small matter. In our Soviet Sergeant Academy, shoe shine was the first lesson that soldiers had to learn. ”

"Report, the stormtroopers have been assembled, please give instructions to the commander." Adjutant Hong entered the house and reported.

Wu and his entourage walked out of the barracks and came to the courtyard. Fifty armed sergeants were assembled in the courtyard, and their epaulettes showed that they were not ordinary soldiers, but officers of the rank of captain. Everyone in this team is equipped with a German-style Bergman submachine gun. This submachine gun was called a jackflower machine gun by Chinese sergeants. At that time, the Beiyang warlords' armies had machine guns, but they were not equipped with many submachine guns, and most of the soldiers were still equipped with early Hanyang-made. This submachine gun could fire in bursts like a machine gun, and he also had a lot of heat dissipation holes in the outer sleeve of his barrel, so the fighters gave him such a nickname. The SA soldiers were well-armed, and they all wore Mauser C96 pistols, better known as box guns, to their waists. The most striking thing is that they still wear steel helmets on their heads, which was an absolute luxury at the time.
