On March 15, 1912, God seemed to have a special favor for the students of the Lu Academy, and the glimmer of dawn on the horizon seemed to indicate a particularly early herald of this sunny day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After breakfast, in the dormitory of the ninth class of the fourteenth squadron of cadets.

"Jiansheng, why are you still here, why haven't you dressed yet? I heard that Chairman Xiao and Commander Cai are coming today. Li Zongren's face was a little excited, and he said to Bai Chongxi, who looked indifferent, if you want to say that you are a fellow countryman, you really have such an arrogance, you must know that Xiao Mubai, Cai Yi and others are definitely idols in the minds of these young soldiers.

Bai Chongxi turned around and smiled: "What are you in a hurry, isn't it two hours before the meeting time?" I just haven't put on a tie right now, and there's still time. ”

"Several Bai Jiansheng, so it seems that my Li Zongren is troublesome?" Li Zongren said angrily. Of course, he is just pretending, frankly speaking, he and this fellow are still very close to each other, plus the two of them are studying in the same school, so it is natural that they are closer to each other on weekdays.

"Haha, Delin, why can't you hold your breath? Okay, you'll wait. If you want to say that the environmental treatment of this army academy is nothing, the military uniforms are so beautifully designed. Bai Chongxi put on his tie as he spoke, took a picture in the military mirror, and then walked out of the dormitory with his friends.

At this time, the playground was already crowded, and in addition to the 800 students who were lined up for review, there were more than 3,000 new students like them around. Under the leadership of the captain, the students of the 14th team lined up in a neat queue and walked into the spectator seats around the playground in turn and sat down.

Time passed at an alarming slow pace as the students waited. At 10 o'clock, Senior Colonel Mo Chunlin, then president of the Kunming Army Academy and commander-in-chief of the military parade, strode up to the microphone and shouted in a sonorous and powerful voice: "The opening ceremony and military parade ceremony of the Kunming Army Academy will start now. ”

"Greeting Banner."

With Mo Chunlin's order, in the rumbling march of the revolutionary army, all the cadet officers and soldiers stood up and saluted, and watched three flag guards wearing military uniforms and marching forward to escort a military flag to the front of the parade team.

With the military flag in place, Mo Chunlin gave the command to the queue to "stand upright", trotted to the rostrum to stand up and salute, and after Xiao Mubai returned the salute, he said loudly: "Comrade Chairman, the officers and soldiers of the Army Academy have finished parading, please review." The parade commander Mo Chunlin. ”

The military song is loud, the steps are sonorous, and there are bursts of "salute" and "Hello comrades!" "Comrades have worked hard! "Chief-long-good! "For the people!" In the greeting, Xiao Mubai looked majestic, and walked in front of an honor guard and eight square teams composed of 800 students.

When Xiao Mubai returned to the rostrum and stood still, Mo Chunlin came to the microphone set up in the middle again, and shouted into the microphone: "The pacesetter is in place!" ”

Following Mo Chunlin's order, four cadets dressed in grass-green army uniforms, holding Type 08 semi-automatic rifles, were stepping into front of the rostrum. These eight students were specially selected, and everyone was the same height, not tall, not short. The rifles in the hands of these pacesetters were all loaded with bayonets, and the triangular red pacesetter flags were inserted on the bayonets, which looked very bright in the sunlight.

The movements of these pacesetters attracted the attention of all the officers and men on the playground, and aroused bursts of admiration, especially the admiration of the German representative, the only great power country on the rostrum invited to visit the ceremony. Because the lecture hall had hired German instructors earlier, relatively speaking, the current relationship between the Southwest Autonomous Government and the German side is still good.

The pacesetters are stepping into the playground, and each of their movements is so novel, and the movements of any country in the world are different from the movements of any country in the world. These positive steps are different from the swan steps of Germany, the high leg lifts of England, and the artistic steps of France, giving people a completely different but chic and dripping feeling.

Stopping, standing upright, turning, and erecting guns, this seems to be a simple action, but in the eyes of the thousands of students in the field, there is another kind of capable and masculine atmosphere, and I can't help but cheer secretly in my heart.

Seeing that the pacesetter was standing in place, Mo Chunlin took a deep breath and shouted into the microphone: "Column, start." ”

With the issuance of the password, the uniform sound of the guns of each team "click" continued to enter the ears of the students in the spectators around the playground. The leaders of the teams of all parties also walked to the center of their own teams, issued the command of "step in unison, go", and slowly marched towards the rostrum under the guidance of the military flag and the accompaniment of military music.

The first phalanx to come was the Army Honor Guard, and they undoubtedly received the most attention with their flags. Full of vigor and masculinity, this is the best metaphor for their image.

Under the illumination of the sun, the military flags that hunt in the breeze will come into people's eyes with the advancing squares. The mental outlook of an army can often manifest many things, and this army honor guard has made a good exposition of this sentence.

"To the right—look!"

When he walked in front of the first white line, the captain who led the team shouted loudly.

With the order, the soldiers of the honor guard took off the rifles on their shoulders with brushes, held them in their hands, and slashed forward. The glittering bayonet was less than ten centimeters away from the soldiers in front. Changing their pace to a positive step, the leather shoes on their feet landed vigorously on the concrete-paved ground, making a neat sound of crackling.

This scene, not only the new students in the spectator seat watched the enthusiasm, but even the Germans were secretly smacking their tongues there. It's so shocking, it's so exciting! At this moment, there are no more words to describe people's feelings. When had they ever seen such a spectacular and shocking scene?

When the team walked to the rostrum, all the soldiers on the stage raised their right hands in salute. This scene shocked not only others, but also their senior officers. The neat steps, the glittering bayonets, their hearts, there was only a deep sense of pride and relief.

When the guard of honor walked to the second white line and resumed their march, the second team also arrived.

With another "look to the right" command, the students of the second team, the sound of "pop papa" began to spread to all around. Looking at a line horizontally, looking at a line vertically, looking obliquely at a line, the vigorous pace, the sonorous and powerful slogan, and the high-spirited passing in front of the rostrum are the truest portrayal of this time.

In the field, the figures of the students who walked across the rostrum in high spirits were all in the eyes of Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others who were on the sidelines. This scene stimulated these young people who had just joined the army, were full of enthusiasm, and were full of feelings of serving the country, and it also strengthened their desire to enrich the country and strengthen the people and the pride and ambition to serve the motherland in their hearts at this time.

"Oh? How can there be female soldiers? ”

"It's so exciting!"

Bai Chongxi, who was thinking about his thoughts, heard the exclamations around him, and looked up to see that a team of female soldiers dressed in cadet uniforms like them were walking over in unison, and he had no arrogance at this time, just staring at the team walking by with shining eyes. They can't help but be surprised, you must know that after the founding of the Republic of China, although the feminist movement was noisy and supreme, and the new government gave women corresponding rights in a timely manner, there were really few implementations. And the southwest, just in the midst of these few.

"What's the noise? What's all the fuss, isn't it just a group of female soldiers! This is a female cadet of the communication department of our school, what is there to be surprised. Seeing that the students of this team seemed to be a little out of place, the captain Tang Huaiyuan had to come out to maintain order. In fact, he, like these students, was filled with countless surprises in his heart. I've heard that there are such a group of people in the academy for a long time, but what I see now and what I hear are really different things.

Hearing the captain's explanation, the students were no longer noisy, but they began to stare at the female soldiers walking by in the middle of the court with a novel look with great interest. Although the women's team does not have the indomitable momentum of the men's team, its uniform pace, sonorous slogans, and the courage not to enter the men's team are also extraordinary.

These female cadets wearing military uniforms showed their feminine side well in front of everyone, and their heroic image was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in the audience.
