Chapter 66: Internal Training (II)

On the morning of September 22, 1935, in the Nanchang barracks of the Third Division, early in the morning, the loud military horn sounded, He Jianye always woke up earlier than most officers and soldiers to complete the boxing exercise, when the horn sounded, he was wiping the water droplets on his face with a towel, put down the towel, He Jianye stood in the position of his own supplementary regiment, less than 5 minutes, all 400 officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment stood behind him. After about 20 minutes, all the officers and men of the 3rd Division began to stand in line. Li Yutang looked at these people under him with a blushing face, didn't this make him lose face in front of He Jianye's subordinates?

"From now on, up to me, the officers and men of the whole division will be trained by He Jianye, the acting head of the supplementary regiment, and you don't have to worry about the sentry posts in the past few days, the supplementary regiment will be responsible. Violators will be severely punished! At present, the officers and men of the whole division obeyed the orders of Regiment Commander He Jianye and began morning training. After Li Yutang finished speaking, Tie Qing ran to the first row and stood up;

He Jianye walked to the front, saluted everyone first, and then said: "Officers and soldiers of the Third Division, many of you are my commanders, and many of you have achieved honors and exploits on the battlefield. This morning's training started with a simple start, and the supplementary regiment was divided into two parts, with 200 people leading everyone to jog in the front, and 200 people in the back to take care of the brothers who had fallen behind. ”

"Now I order, the supplementary regiment will come out of the ranks, and 200 people will run behind me according to yesterday's division!" After giving the order, He Jianye took the lead in running to the door of the barracks.......

After five kilometers, the team ran back to the barracks and stood in the playground, and when most of the people had arrived, they were organized to do various small activities to relieve their muscles and bones, and after 10 minutes, they saw that the rest of the people were still in sight, and Li Yutang, who had kicked the breath, signaled He Jianye not to wait, and then trained, and then the first batch of less than 3,500 people arrived under the leadership of 200 people, and started push-ups, squats, frog jumps, switchback running, and so on.......

This breakfast time is happy for most of the officers and soldiers of the Third Division, and they can finally eat enough, but less than half of them have an appetite, and the rest are still kicking their breath, after 20 minutes of breakfast time, He Jianye ordered everyone to gather, telling everyone that in the future, breakfast time is 20 minutes, lunch time is 30 minutes, and evening time is 30 minutes, and there is no need to eat what is not finished. After continuing to do push-ups, squats, frog jumps, and switchbacks in the morning, He Jianye instructed all the officers and men of the supplementary regiment to lead 10-20 officers and men of the Third Division to conduct sub-training, and a series of basic training such as five-step piles, trenches, low walls, high slab jumps, horizontal ladders, single-plank bridges, high walls, and low-pile nets were waiting for them. Of course, He Jianye took the division commander, brigade commander and staff officers to the side for muscle-soothing training, so he did not participate.

After lunch, Li Yutang was found by two brigade commanders, who reported that the training intensity was too great, and the brothers couldn't stand it, so in order to avoid injury, could the training intensity be reduced.

", I'm afraid of getting hurt even when training, so we'll fight a fart fight and continue training." Li Yutang immediately scolded,

"Commander, I'm not saying I don't want to train! Let's do everything step by step! There are so many of them at once, and the brothers can't stand it! Chen Yinglong, the Ninth Brigade, said,

"He Jianye" Li Yutang shouted,

"Here, Master's seat" He Jianye, who ran over quickly, saluted,

Li Yutang told the two brigade commanders about the reaction, and He Jianye immediately said, "Master, I didn't think about it well, and I thought that the brothers' physical strength and endurance were good, so I directly skipped the preliminary training. I thought it would be good for us to start with physical and endurance training in the afternoon and gradually increase the amount of training for the brothers? ”

"Alright! Let's do it! Li Yutang said a little depressed, no wonder! The commander was still in a good mood when he saw that the main force under his command could not even hold on to the intensive training.

Beginning in the afternoon, the officers and men of the 3rd Division finally recovered some of their vitality, and the officers and men of the supplementary regiment led them in physical and endurance training, such as push-ups, squats, frog jumps, switchback runs, 100-meter runs, 400-meter runs, interspersed queue training, and various small exercises to soothe muscles and muscles. Finally, at the end of the day, the officers and men of the whole division, including Li Yutang, had no heart to chat after the 5-kilometer run at night, and they all climbed until they put on and fell asleep.

This kind of training lasted until September 28, and it was clear that he would go to Nanjing tomorrow, although the training of the troops was carried out well, and all indicators were greatly improved, but Li Yutang still twitched the corners of his mouth when he looked at the facilities that had been used once next to the barracks, and he had not reached that standard at all!

On the afternoon of 28 September, at the division headquarters, Li Yutang gathered Yang Tingya, deputy division commander, Ruan Yongqi, chief of staff, Zhao Xitian, commander of the 8th Brigade, Chen Yinglong, and He Jianye of the 9th Brigade to discuss the whole training.

"I think, He Jianye will organize an assessment this afternoon! If the physical strength and endurance training are not up to standard, they will be dismissed, and don't go to Nanjing to disgrace me. Li Yutang said ruthlessly,

"Teacher, many of us are old brothers who have been with us for several years!" Deputy division commander Yang Tingya pleaded,

"Let's sort out the personnel who went to Nanjing to participate in the training first, and then talk about the rest after the training." Li Yutang is not easy to cut with a knife.

In the afternoon, under the organization of the supplementary regiment, everyone was first organized to conduct warm-up training of muscles and muscles, and then all the officers and men of the division and below the regiment commander participated in the 10-kilometer armed cross-country assessment, followed by the queue assessment, endurance and physical strength assessment. Li Yutang, who got the qualified list at night, wanted to go crazy, but there were less than 2,000 people qualified! Seeing that the division commander was about to go crazy, He Jianye immediately said beside him, "Division commander, this standard is a bit strict, in fact, according to the current standards of the Central Army in China, our training is effective, at least 4,000 brothers can catch up with the standard of the teaching corps." ”

"Are you really? Didn't play sloppy with me? Li Yutang was afraid that He Jianye would fool himself,

"Commander, absolutely not. This criterion is my reference to the German Army, so there are only 2000 people. He Jianye assured that He Jianye mourned silently in his heart, in fact, this was a weakening of several versions of the Wehrmacht standard.

"Well, that's good, just screen the people in Nanjing according to your 4000 standard, plus your 500 people, there will be 4500 people, and it's not bad." Li Yutang finally felt better,

"Master, I only have 400 people who can go to Nanjing to participate in the whole training." He Jianye reported,

"Huh?? Why? I've been watching it for the past few days, and the number of people you participate in the whole training plus the sentry is less than 450, what about the rest of you? Li Yutang asked,

"Master, are the others still in the hospital? Some time ago, before you came, I organized everyone to go to suppress bandits and conduct actual combat training, because the guns and ammunition left behind were insufficient, so dozens of brothers were injured and are still being treated in the hospital in Nanchang," He Jianye reported,

Li Yutang, who understood the situation of the guns and ammunition left behind, did not get angry, waved his hand and told He Jianye to go out, and then summoned the division headquarters to begin to arrange the matter of going to Nanjing.
