On the way to the training ground, Sun Yumin went through the information he had seen in books and video websites in his mind. Although he said that he was not a soldier before the crossing, the 21st century is the information age, and he has been exposed to countless advanced training methods. I've never eaten pork, but I've always seen pigs run. He wasn't worried about whether he could train these people well, but he was only worried that the time was too short, and how much knowledge he could receive from these soldiers who were born in poor families and couldn't read a few big characters.

After the soldiers of the battalion arrived at the training ground, Sun Yumin started from the excavation method of the trenches, to the distribution of foxholes and the combination of the two, to the joint use of anti-artillery holes and trenches, and also dug a foxhole as a demonstration.

After the bloody battle of the Octagonal Bridge, the veterans knew that these were the panacea for saving their lives on the battlefield. But these more than 600 recruits didn't know this, all of them were grinding foreign workers with German standard sapper shovels, and most of the officers gathered in three or two to smoke and chat.

Sun Yumin couldn't help but be angry when he looked at these lazy people, called several company commanders and deputy company commanders, pointed to the soldiers who were slow and passive, and said, "Look at what you brought me?" Is this called a soldier? Is this called a soldier? ”

"Since you don't want to dig in the soil, then I'll make you comfortable." Sun Yumin was furious, and said to Liu Wenzhi, the commander of the first company: "The whole battalion is assembled, and the armed attack is twenty kilometers. ”

The officers rarely saw Sun Yumin trembling with anger, and they didn't dare to speak, so they hurriedly gathered their troops.

Sun Yumin was very angry, not angry that these people didn't take his hard work seriously, nor angry that these people were lazy and playing tricks, but because these sergeants didn't take their lives seriously. He's doing everything he can to make everyone sacrifice less, and they're taking it all as child's play.

So he's angry, he's angry, and he can't tolerate it. He wants them to remember this lesson for a long time.

When Sun Yumin roared out and rushed twenty kilometers away, many soldiers were stunned. When running out with the large army, there were many, many soldiers who kept turning their heads and looking at Sun Yumin with blank eyes. His eyes were full of longing and pleading, hoping that he would take back his life and have mercy on them.

Sun Yumin explained a few words to Zhou Hong, the commander of the fourth company who set off last, and asked him to pull the troops back, and he would still train here at noon and afternoon, and he would see a standard position that he was satisfied with in the afternoon.

Sun Yumin returned to the city with the stones, and originally wanted to go to see if Liu Wenzhi's side had done anything to get gasoline, but he ran into Zhang Xiaohu, the commander of the second company, halfway through. He was leading people to Guanghua Gate, transporting iron plates and iron bridges.

"Company commander, let's just buy these things, why do we have to get Guanghuamen?" Although Sun Yumin is already the battalion commander, in the hearts of Liu Wenzhi and other veterans of the company, he will always be their old company commander.

"We're going to guard here!" Sun Yumin replied nonchalantly.

"The regimental headquarters has already come to order?" Zhang Xiaohu asked.

"Nope!"

"Then how do you know that our battalion will guard here?" Zhang Xiaohu was surprised.

"Because we are the second battalion of the second regiment!" Sun Yumin said lightly.

Zhang Xiaohu was silent. He knew the importance of the geographical location of Guanghua Gate in this battle, he also knew the importance of Guanghua Gate to the defense of the entire city of Nanjing, and he also knew the combat effectiveness of the Second Battalion in the Battle of Bajiao Bridge.

Sun Yumin carefully observed the entire Guanghua Gate.

He remembered that Guanghua Gate was one of the thirteen inner cities of the Ming City Wall in Nanjing, and it was called Zhengyang Gate in the Ming Dynasty, which was the main gate of the capital and was located at the southernmost end of Yudao Street in Nanjing.

In the 20th year of the Republic of China, the Nationalist Government commemorated the Xinhai Revolution and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army invaded the city of Nanjing, and changed its name to Guanghuamen, which means the restoration of China.

Sun Yumin walked from the inner Choshi Castle to the outer Choseong, and then walked from the middle gate hole to the Zhengyangmen Bridge, under the bridge is a moat, the river is three or four meters wide, stretching along the city wall to both sides, a pool of stagnant water in the river is flooded with green waves, shining dazzling in the sun.

Sun Yumin asked the stone to find a penny to test the depth of the water, but in fact, you can see that the water is not too deep without trying. Looking at the water marks on the knee joints that had just leveled people, Sun Yumin couldn't help but shake his head, and scolded his mother in his heart: Where do you have to find water?

Sun Yumin's brows seem to have been furrowed since he was stationed in Nanjing, and the only time Shi saw him smiling was at dinner last night.

Shi knew that the battalion commander was thinking about something every time he frowned, and he didn't dare to bother. Zhang Xiaohu, the commander of the second company, also only watched from a distance, waiting for Sun Yumin to give the order to unload the car.

Sun Yumin looked at the gate of the only Shuangxuan City in the country, looked at the city wall made of blue bricks and stones, and thought about the distribution of troops and the arrangement of firepower in his heart.

Sun Yumin took a big turn under the city, and then walked up to the city wall to take a look, thinking carefully as he walked, sometimes comparing and drawing, sometimes squatting on the ground and writing and painting with a thin wooden stick.

From time to time there were strange glances from passers-by on the main road, and if it weren't for the major's uniform and a guard behind him, these passers-by would have thought he was a fool.

"Pounce red." A laugh came, followed by another. "Sister Yun, look at that person doing math on the ground."

Sun Yumin was interrupted by this voice, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, although he heard the voice of a young woman, but at this moment he didn't have the heart to take care of other people's men and women. He looked up and saw two young women dressed as students staring at him curiously. He was about to open his mouth to rebuke, but the stone ran over and scolded fiercely: "Two little girls, go away quickly, don't make a noise to our camp." ”

Sun Yumin saw that the stone had taught the two girls a lesson, so he lowered his head and went to write and draw.

The two female students had no intention of disturbing, but when they saw that they didn't pay attention to them at all, they felt bored. It's just that the fierce and vicious appearance of the stone annoyed the girl who had just spoken, and with his hands on his waist, he opened his mouth and scolded: "Oh, hey, you guy with a pig's nose and green onions, you actually scolded this girl on the street, I think you can't find it." Apologize to me quickly, or I'll make you look good. ”

The stone pouted and said, "I didn't drive you away, and you actually asked me to apologize to you?" I want to find a beating! After saying that, he pretended to roll up one sleeve and raised his right fist, trying to scare the two girls away.

Unexpectedly, the girl straightened her chest forward, her big eyes were as bright as copper bells, she stretched her head under a fist the size of a stone bowl, and her mouth was unyielding: "Fight, if you don't do it today, you won't be a gentleman." ”

Shi had never seen this kind of scene, and hurriedly stepped back, who knew that when he took a step back, the girl took a step forward, and Shi Shi's nervous speech trembled: "You... You... Other... Don't come here, I... I..."

"What do you want?" The girl's big eyes were fixed on the stone.

The stone didn't dare to look directly into the girl's gaze, but raised his right hand, which was clenched into a fist, and stammered: "I...... I ......"

"What do you want? Say it! The girl's tone was menacing, "If you're not good, then I'm going to be okay!" The girl cried out, "Indecent! This soldier is rude! He rubbed his body against the stone.

Passers-by and pedestrians looked sideways, and some good people stopped to watch.

Shi was stunned, he had just turned twenty, and he had never crossed paths with women, and when he was troubled by this female student, he was so anxious that his face was flushed, and he couldn't make a sound in his mouth. He didn't know what the girl was going to do next, so he was so anxious that he stomped his foot there.

Another schoolgirl who came with the girl walked up to them, grabbed the girl who was sprinkling, and said, "Xiufen, don't tease the soldier brother, let's go." ”

Sun Yumin also stood up at the right time and shouted to him: "Stone, go and call Huzi." ”

Hearing this, the stone was like an amnesty, and hurriedly ran away from the schoolgirl.

The girl named Xiufen made a grimace at the stone that went away, and said something in her mouth: "Fight with your aunt and grandmother, you little fart is still a little tender." ”

Her companion, a girl with two braids, took her hand and said, "Okay, let's go back to school." ”

Sun Yumin didn't pay attention to the dispute between the two girls and the stone, let alone the appearance and clothing of the two girls, his mind was all about how to arrange the defensive position and crossfire configuration.

Of course, Sun Yumin didn't notice the girl with the two big braids, nor did he notice the girl's eyes looking at him intently thinking, nor did he notice the girl's panicked look when she saw the long scar on the left side of her face, and she didn't notice the girl's cheeks that were flushed when she looked back at him frequently when she left.

Zhang Xiaohu unloaded the pile of iron plates and bars he had bought from the blacksmith shop at the gate of the inner city according to Sun Yumin's instructions. He took people and cars to the foreign companies that had ordered the ash yesterday, and when they pulled all the ash back and forth three times, it was already noon. Three soldiers were left to guard the supplies, and the others returned to the station.

Sun Yumin and Shi also returned to the station, and had just eaten lunch, and when they were asking whether the food of Lao Liu Tou's army had been delivered to the training ground, the regimental headquarters messenger came and informed Sun Yumin to go to the regiment for a meeting immediately.

Xie Chengrui looked at Sun Yumin, the battalion commander, the third battalion commander, and the newly formed fourth battalion commander who were standing straight in front of him, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

When he returned from a meeting in the morning from the headquarters, he was thinking about which battalion should be responsible for the frontal defense. In fact, this problem is very easy to solve, and when the deputy commander and commander of the 1st Brigade handed over the task to the 2nd Regiment, he had already made it clear that he hoped to let the 2nd Battalion take on the task of frontal guard.

Xie Chengrui could directly give an order to let the second battalion guard the front, but he didn't want to do this, the casualties of the second battalion at the Octagonal Bridge were too great, and he didn't know what the combat effectiveness was now.

The 1st Battalion was responsible for guarding the second line of defense in the bloody battle of the Octagonal Bridge, and in the battle in which the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Battalion suffered extremely heavy casualties, the 1st Battalion suffered almost zero casualties. According to the opinion of the staff officers of the regimental headquarters, everyone was inclined to a battalion to defend the front. But as the head of a lump of foreign ink, he naturally has his strengths and ideas. If the first battalion is allowed to guard, then the veterans of the second regiment can be regarded as all involved. And even if a battalion is allowed to top, how long can the seven or eight hundred people be able to withstand it? Although the first battalion commander said that he had followed him the longest among the three old battalion commanders, it was because he had followed him for too long that it was clear how many advantages and disadvantages this person had and how much he could rely on himself. The fourth battalion is a newly formed battalion, who would dare to put him in such an important position if he has never been on the battlefield. The second battalion and the third battalion are all teams that can fight tough battles, so who will let them go?

The regimental deputy and the chief of staff behind Xie Chengrui couldn't help it when they saw that he had been thinking with his head down, and the chief of staff walked up to him and said softly: "Tuanzao, haven't you made up your mind yet?" If you're not at pain, I'll tell you. ”

Xie Chengrui waved his hand, in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart. The 2nd Battalion is good at defensive warfare, and the 3rd Battalion is good at attacking fortified positions, and every commander of the 2nd Regiment knows it. But the two battalions of the family came down from the Shura field, and immediately put the family on the guillotine, which he couldn't do with his surname Xie. So he's been thinking hard about the best of both worlds, and he knows very well that there's no such thing as the best of both worlds. He was waiting, waiting for one of them to step up and take his command. If someone asks to go into battle by himself, then Xie Chengrui will feel less guilty in his heart, and he can also give some compensation in disguise.

But there were not four fools standing in front of them, they were all the commanders of a battalion leading nearly a thousand people. Everyone understands that the two Choseong Castles inside and outside the Gwanghwa Gate and the Choseong City Wall will be the main battlefield of the entire southern city, and the Japanese army's aircraft, artillery and tanks are not vegetarians, and defending the frontal battlefield is not a joke.

The four of them all have their own little abacus in their hearts, and they all have their own little ninety-nine.

Sun Yumin had actually planned to guard Guanghuamen a long time ago, but he did not stand up. He knew that the second battalion would not be able to run and would have to take on the task of guarding the main force, but he just wanted the regiment commanders to feel that they owed the second battalion a great favor, and they could not make up for it emotionally, so they could only make up for it materially.

Although Sun Yumin is not short of money for the time being, will anyone think that there is little money? Especially when you have to go through a bloody battle, sometimes you can say ten beautiful words, but it is still not as real as a piece of ocean.

The regiment commander had his own thoughts, and the four battalion commanders below each had their own little ninety-nine. This scene is like getting stuck, and the atmosphere is very embarrassing.

The deputy head of the regiment is a straight-up northeasterner, he can't stand the careful thinking of these southerners, and he has long wanted to jump out, but when he saw that the regiment commander didn't speak, it was not easy for him to stand up. Seeing these five people as if they were acting in a pantomime, they couldn't help but feel a slight anger in their hearts, so they opened their mouths and said: "One by one, like a big girl, isn't it just to defend a position, is it so difficult to decide?" ”

Everyone looked at him and saw what was going to be said under the thing. Because the four battalion commanders all know that although this thing is said to be the deputy regiment commander, in fact, it is not even as good as a company commander, no one under his command has no guns, and no one cares about farting in the regiment. Everyone is worried that this deputy regiment commander of the five big and three rough ones will not be pulled up to be cannon fodder, but what Sun Yumin is worried about is that don't let this thing rob him of his command, and the people in the second battalion will have eight lifetimes of blood mold.

The goods continued: "Tuanzuo, if you give me the second battalion, I will definitely guard the Guanghua Gate tightly." If the position is lost, then it must be that someone Gao has been martyred. ”

Sun Yumin sighed in his heart, and said in his heart: It's broken, this product really pulled on his back.

The other three battalion commanders all breathed a long sigh of relief when they heard this, and the first battalion commander even smiled at each other with the third battalion commander.

Sun Yumin's brows were furrowed, his scarred face was extremely distorted, and he didn't know how to pick up the words of the deputy of the second cargo group. Although he had already made pre-battle preparations for the Guanghuamen position, this did not mean that he planned to defend the position, he also wanted to defend the flank, and he wanted the second battalion to serve as a reserve.

Xie Chengrui suddenly felt that it was good to have a deputy with a simple brain, at least he was stupid to help him do things at critical moments. He looked at the embarrassed appearance of Sun Yumin, the acting commander of the second battalion, and couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't laugh, he just asked, "Battalion Commander Sun, what is your opinion?" ”
