The battle sequence of the second attack on Anqing included one division headquarters of the 104th Division, two regiments and the divisional artillery regiment. Half a year ago, everyone returned to Fengtai County by land from Anqing, and the route of this march was chosen from the last time. The long marching column runs through the foothills of Dabie Mountain, the summer scenery is very beautiful, blue sky, white clouds, mountains and forests, cool breeze, everything makes people feel very comfortable.

However, the grassroots cadres of the Fourth Regiment did not have the heart to look at the scenery, the Fourth Regiment is a new unit, and soldiers who have only been in the army for two months abound. Compared with the old units, the basic military training of these new comrades is very inadequate. "Walk with your legs up! Don't shuffle your feet, lift your legs! "The grassroots cadres had to correct the basic marching movements of the comrades.

Long-distance running is the most scientific march, how to distribute physical strength most effectively, and how to take the most effective actions. It's all science. In the 21st century, Chen Ke loved to hike, and he consulted many experts, especially those in the military. Historically, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) was called an iron footboard, which is not to say that those revolutionary predecessors were genetically modified people, and they had accumulated great knowledge of marching in the long-term military struggle. This knowledge from practice was unreservedly passed on to the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army in 1907.

Walking with your legs lifted may seem tiring, but in fact, most of the exercise is carried out by the muscles, and the wear and tear on the joints is much smaller than walking with your legs in tow. Most of the bumps in the road are borne by the joints, and the incorrect marching posture for a long time is not only inefficient and easy to get tired, but more importantly, it is very harmful to the body. There is a well-known saying in the 21st century, "Attitude is everything", and Chen Ke naturally uses this phrase. To do everything, you have to have a motivated attitude, march with the strength of your thighs, and the posture looks full of energy. Chen Ke thinks this may be a manifestation of an "upward attitude".

Mao Taiping, as the regiment commander, could not personally go up to criticize the fighters. The most important thing in the military is that it cannot "skip the ranks," and this "skipping the ranks" not only means that the lower levels cannot go beyond the level to report, but also that the higher levels cannot "go beyond the level" to command the troops at the lower levels under normal circumstances. Therefore, for the command of the middle and lower-level officers, Mao Taiping just watched and listened, and he himself did not say a word about the performance of the soldiers.

Silence does not mean that there are no ideas, Mao Taiping is also observing his troops. Which soldiers have better mastered military knowledge and skills, this thing cannot grasp the actual situation just by listening to reports, and watching drills may not be useful. The so-called "layman looks at the liveliness, and insiders look at the doorway." The so-called doorway can be most truly reflected in this seemingly boring march.

After looking at a lot of troops, Mao Taiping finally gave up the idea of selecting special talents from the middle. No matter how you look at it, it is the level of the old troops that far exceeds that of the new troops. The marching action is always the most standardized in the old troops, and the marching attitude is also the most upright in the old troops. Chen Ke repeatedly emphasized in the military academy that "the first cry of a genius will never be a good poem." "If you don't train enough, it's all for nothing.

There is a clear gap between the old units and the new units within the four regiments, and the regiments of the same army are all old troops, and most of them have participated in the last Anqing Campaign, so in terms of the performance of basic military skills, the first regiment is even better. When many soldiers of the fourth regiment were already tired and gasping for breath, the soldiers of the first regiment still had enough spare strength after marching.

"After the end of this Anqing campaign, we must increase training in the regiment." Looking at the two troops with very different performances, Mao Taiping made up his mind.

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away. When Mao Taiping was full of reflection, there was another group of people in the team that set off towards Anqing who were even more bad at marching than the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment. They are the leading troops sent by King Yue. As soon as the Hefei Campaign ended, the "liaisons" of the Yue Wang Hui in the People's Party troops immediately brought back to the Yue Wang Hui the news of the total annihilation of the Hubei New Army. Those who have been able to stay until now are the backbone of the Yue Wang Society, and they can't believe that the People's Party has completely annihilated the Hubei New Army in only two days. And Chang Hengfang and other clever guys have already thought that the next target of the People's Party is Anqing. They immediately sent someone to recommend themselves to Chen Kemao and asked to lead the way.

It stands to reason that these people are the elite selected from the only remaining more than 300 people in the Yue Wang Society. As a result, it only took half a day for the leader to be thrown from the front of the large army to the back of the line. These people are not without hard work, and they are also in high spirits at the beginning. However, in order to maintain the speed of the march, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army rested regularly. The people of the Yue Wang Club could hold out for the first few hours, but in the afternoon, they couldn't sell it as if they had been filled with lead. The fighters of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, who watched in their formations, overtook them, and their small groups went from the head of the marching ranks to the last. The more anxious they became, the more unfast they became, and at the earliest they secretly laughed at the fact that the People's Party rested too much, but later they found that they couldn't rest no matter how much they rested.

Shi Dekuan is considered to be very able to walk, and the reason why he was left to the end is because he has to maintain team consistency with his companions in the Yue Wang Society. With such a long queue, one carelessly will be washed away. Seeing that his companions couldn't walk, Shi Dekuan hurriedly grabbed a People's Party fighter who was walking outside the team. The epaulettes of this fighter were ensigns, which were supposed to be a platoon commander. Shi Dekuan asked, "Comrade, when are we resting?" ”

"Twenty miles more." The platoon commander said. Looking at the crooked team behind Shi Dekuan, the platoon commander couldn't help but persuade, "You also support each other, and have the strength to help others." Otherwise, everyone will have to be left behind. As soon as he said a few words, the platoon commander found himself falling from the front of his platoon to the back. He hurriedly said, "Help each other, that's right." After saying that, the platoon commander rushed back to the leading position of his team at a trot.

Shi Dekuan agreed with the platoon commander's words, but he didn't dare to say this to the group of comrades of the Yue Wang Association behind him. Today, when there are more than 300 people left in the Yue Wang Society, the number of officials is more than that of soldiers. He is far from being able to dictate to his comrades as an "ombudsman". Shi Dekuan's gaze couldn't help but fall on Chen Duxiu, the supreme commander who led the way this time.

Chen Duxiu was also out of breath, but his spirit was better than that of other comrades. After listening to the platoon commander's words, Chen Duxiu hurriedly said, "Let's all support each other." All the people of the Yue Wang Society thought this was good, and they gathered together and stretched out their hands to each other. Then he stared wide-eyed. It's a very real question of who is supporting whom. There are very strange things going on here, and most of those who want to help others are carrying more carry-on luggage and looking more tired. And waiting for someone to help them, many of them are walking empty-handed, and they don't seem to be in bad spirits.

If it was before, Yue Wanghui himself didn't care too much about this practice, when marching with the People's Party, everyone in the People's Party carried marching bags, and those who did not carry packages were officers with ranks, and these officers were busy running in the ranks like dogs. They obviously don't need to be supported. Chen Duxiu has walked such a long way, and his face is already very ruddy. Seeing his comrades behaving like this, his face turned from ruddy to purple. It didn't take long for Chen Duxiu's whole person to suddenly soften, as if he was about to collapse. The people of the Yue Wang Society immediately went up to help Chen Duxiu sit down.

Chen Duxiu took a long break to recover his breath, he raised his head, his eyes were first stern, and soon harshness turned into sadness. All the people of the Yue Wang Society participated in the march, and they knew what Chen Duxiu's attitude meant, and many of them lowered their heads in shame.

"Comrades, the People's Party is a revolution, and we are also revolutions. Why are we not as good as the People's Party, you know? Chen Duxiu's voice trembled when he spoke. Shi Dekuan even suspected that Chen Duxiu would cry next. Anyway, every time he compares the People's Party with the Yue Wang Hui, Shi Dekuan always wants to cry when he is depressed. Chen Duxiu was not as fragile as Shi Dekuan thought, if it weren't for Chen Duxiu's own immersion in shame, he would want to be angry now. Shi Dekuan looked at the other cadres, Bai Wenwei, Chang Hengfang, and Xiong Chengji, all of whom were also as dead and disheartened.

The People's Party recaptured Anqing this time, and although many people in the Yue Wang Hui wanted to let Yue Wang Hui mention the matter of taking charge of Anqing, these people were not so shameless. The last time they were defeated in Anqing, none of them wanted to repeat the mistakes of the past. Chen Duxiu showed the demeanor of a leader, and he took the initiative to organize a "leading team". If King Yue doesn't go to Anqing this time and retreats in Hefei by himself, then King Yue will definitely not have any future. If he didn't do anything, King Yue would not even have an excuse to return to Anqing.

Chen Ke generously agreed to Yue Wanghui's request. The people of the Yue Wang Society all carried weapons when they set off this time, and their own plan was to show themselves well in the battle and prove themselves. Chang Hengfang, Xiong Chengji and others all stated that even if they died in Anqing this time, they could no longer lose the people of the Yue Wang Society. These people actually have a very good feeling of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold", and their plan is to rush ahead, even if they are sacrificed. If he sacrifices himself, he can give King Yue some reasons to share the power of Anqing.

The tragic mood of these people is beyond reproach, but today's march has clearly shown a result, King Yue's ability to march is too poor. Judging from the current situation, when these people from the Yue Wang Association arrived in Anqing, it is estimated that the battle of the People's Party will be over. The people of the Yue Wanghui did not have the shame to the point that they didn't do anything, and then asked the People's Party for Anqing with empty mouths. It is not easy for people to "regard death as home", but when the mentality of "seeing death as home" encounters the fact that "they want to die but can't", it is no wonder that Chen Duxiu and the senior cadres of Yue Wanghui turned pale one by one.

The people of the Yue Wang Society didn't know what else to say at this time, and everyone felt that saying anything would just add more shame to themselves. However, it was not an option to sit here, and the troops of the People's Party did not stop a single step, and the speed of each unit was not much different from when it first set off. Everyone's pace was steady and brisk, and the team was like a winding dragon, passing by the "leading team" of Yue Wanghui, who stopped in place. Every officer and soldier of the People's Party was concentrating on the march with all their attention, and they did not look at the people of Yue Wang Hui on the side of the road. This attitude of almost indifference made the people of the Yue Wang Society even more ashamed.

"Why are we doing this?" Chen Duxiu said. In fact, these words are not questioning comrades, but questioning themselves.

At this time, Shi Dekuan didn't care so much, he said bluntly: "Because the People's Party has practiced." In the few days I have been with the BJP, I have asked a lot of questions. The BJP wasn't born with it, and they told me that everything they did was just practiced a long time ago. They have practiced any seemingly inconspicuous little thing hundreds of times. ”

Shi Dekuan's status is not high, if he didn't want to bury his head in the ground in shame at this time, he would not have spoken so bluntly.

Chang Hengfang has always been a hardliner, and he is the most reluctant to bow to the People's Party. After listening to Shi Dekuan's words, he did not sneer at each other as usual, but said with a crying voice: "Then how does the People's Party know what to practice? There are so many things that can be done in the world, why are all the things they practice useful? What we've done is useless? ”

No one took this sentence, and if it had to be explained, it could only be said that the leader of the People's Party, Chen Ke, commanded well. Although this is a fact, no one is willing to refute Chen Duxiu's face to face.

"It's me delaying everyone." Chen Duxiu took over the conversation.

Chang Hengfang knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he hurriedly said, "Dashuai, I didn't mean that. ”

Chen Duxiu stood up and grabbed Chang Hengfang, who was full of shame and chagrin, "No, Hengfang, your words are right." I don't deserve to be called handsome. There are more than 1,000 people in one battalion of the People's Party, and they only dare to call themselves battalion commanders. There are only more than 300 of us, and I call myself handsome, which is too bad to know. ”

Chen Duxiu is a famous talent in Anhui, everyone has always respected him, hearing Chen Duxiu so depressed, Chang Hengfang can't wait to give himself two slaps. Why is your mouth so open?

Chen Duxiu glanced at everyone, and then breathed a sigh of relief like putting down a thousand catties of burden, "Everyone, don't think so much, we can't walk, so let's rest first." Hengfang, you took someone to divide the luggage for everyone, let's not have useless luggage first. Everyone brought guns and dry food. Let's also follow the example of the People's Party, and walk with open legs. When you are tired, you will rest, and when your leg muscles are relaxed, we will continue walking. Even if we can't lead the way, we can't let people throw it to the end to eat ashes. ”

At this kind of time when people's hearts are fluctuating, if Chen Duxiu picks his son again, he feels sorry for himself. Then the team immediately fell apart. But at this critical moment, Chen Duxiu has the appearance of a leader.

Chang Hengfang didn't say much, and immediately began to divide the luggage.

By the time King Yue would regroup, the People's Party's brigade had already passed, and the baggage cart left at the end had come. Chang Hengfang didn't want to waste things, and the luggage that King Yue didn't need was needed, so he packed a few big bags and stuffed them into the car. Where did the commander of the logistics unit dare to let them casually stuff things into important baggage trucks. However, the commander of the logistics unit also knew that the group of guys who were walking with him were members of the Yue Wang Society. I heard Chang Hengfang say with a broken look: "We gave you something, and if you don't want it, just throw it away." ”

Everyone in the logistics department has to deal with people, and the commander knows that these people can't carry these things. He pulled out a pencil and wrote a receipt. Chang Hengfang resolutely did not accept the receipt, so the commander came directly and asked, "Who is the commander of the Yue Wang Society?" ”

Chen Duxiu hurriedly replied, "I am." ”

The commander handed the receipt to Chen Duxiu, "We can run the luggage for you, but you can collect the receipt." After I arrive in Anqing, I will give you things with this receipt. Everyone is cooperative, please don't embarrass us, and be sure to come to us to pick up your luggage after arriving in Anqing. Our Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army has a system, and if no one takes this extra thing, I will have to bear the responsibility. ”

Chen Duxiu hurriedly expressed his gratitude. The commander didn't say much, said goodbye and immediately returned to his team.

Bai Wenwei knew why Chang Hengfang was unhappy, and Chang Hengfang didn't want to accept the favor of the People's Party. If you don't want anything, King Yue and the People's Party will be considered two clear, but if you take the receipt. This favor is a big deal.

Looking at the figure of the commander of the logistics unit, Chen Duxiu sighed: "I just read in the book when I was studying, there are such strictly disciplined troops, and there are such reasonable soldiers. ”

Shi Dekuan has always respected Chen Duxiu, and after hearing this, he asked, "Dashuai, what's so special about these people?" ”

"Dekuan, the most deductible place is the place to manage the baggage. Even if there are enough things, the people in charge of the baggage have always said that the materials are not enough, where is anyone afraid of the extra materials? If he fears that he will be held accountable for the overabundance, it means that the BJP is so disciplined that it is forbidden to do so. And under such strict discipline, everyone is better than less than one thing. It is also common to throw away our luggage directly. The man just gave us a receipt, and seemed to be very considerate of our difficulties. Such characters are reasonable, I really haven't seen them. According to what Confucius said, this person is simply a gentleman. ”

Shi Dekuan is young, he doesn't see many people, and most of the people he makes friends with are those who claim to be heroes of the rivers and lakes, as long as the heroes of the rivers and lakes talk about "morality", they should act like this. Shi Dekuan didn't think it was a big deal to accept the favor of the People's Party, but it was the receipt that made him feel a little redundant. Chen Duxiu's praise of the commander of the People's Party really made Shi Dekuan feel very puzzled.

But the luggage has been settled, and everyone has regrouped their mood. The people of the Yue Wang Society continued to march. Along the way, everyone held their breath in their hearts, and at this time it was no longer for the sake of a heroic death, but a more realistic purpose. In order to be able to keep up with the ranks of the People's Party, they rushed to Anqing City together. No one in the current Yue Wang Hui team wants others to help for themselves, and they all rush wholeheartedly. There are no distractions in my heart, and my steps seem to be brisk. When it was time to rest at night, they followed the infantry brigade last, and they did not fall behind.
