331: Keep walking, don't stop
A battalion of the Korean division, after a whole day of travel, drove a distance of almost more than 100 kilometers, although there would not be any danger on the way, they could even carry no supplies, only personal ammunition and rations. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But a day's time, a distance of more than 100 kilometers, is still a bit unbearable.
This is already their physical limit, and this extreme speed can basically be said to be commonplace here in the Royal Army, in other words, in order to do this, it must be equipped with a strong spirit.
The spirit of the Royal Army is Wang Sirui, who believes that every decision made by His Majesty the Emperor is correct, and every decision can bring earth-shaking changes to the motherland.
Whether in the army or in the people, under the deliberate promotion of some people, Wang Sirui has actually been deified.
Of course, this is done under the previous efforts of Wang Sirui and the creation of one myth after another.
The spiritual pillar of the Korean army is to restore the rivers and mountains of Korea, they want to return to their own country, they want to drive away the Japanese who invaded them, and they desperately hope that they can keep the enemy out of the country with their own ability.
Therefore, with this spirit, the North Korean army finally achieved this.
And after receiving the order from the headquarters, although the North Korean troops of this battalion were a little unhappy, they did not dare to take a breath of air, and they did not even dare to resist.
They had formed an army in the Chinese Empire, received military training from the Chinese Empire, and before today, they had never imagined that they could march a hundred kilometers in one day.
It is precisely with today's feat that they truly realized the strength of the Chinese Empire, in just a few years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which won the weak, was replaced by the powerful Chinese Empire, no one can imagine, how the army is trained, why can there be earth-shaking changes in just a few years?
"Sir, my troops have been forcibly marching for the entire day, and we have not had any time or space to stop and recuperate along the way, although we have no intention of resisting the order to continue the march, but the troops' physical strength has reached their limit, and we need to rest, even if it is only for an hour." The 51st Brigade of the 51st Division of the North Korean Army, the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 511th Regiment, Zhang Yingkun's legs kept trembling, and his speech was a little indistinct.
It's not just that the soldiers are tired, as the battalion commander, Zhang Yingkun walks no less than the soldiers, and now he only has one feeling, as if his legs are no longer his, even when he speaks, he can't help but tremble, the upper and lower rows of teeth are constantly colliding, and there is an urge to lie on the ground and sleep him in the dark.
Zhang Yingkun uses Chinese, and in the past six months, the Korean army has implemented a fully Chinese military education, and they have adopted the imperial army's officer selection system, but they do not force officers to know how many words.
Their evaluation criteria were that officers must be able to describe in Chinese, and soldiers must be able to speak Chinese.
In order to better stimulate North Korean soldiers to learn Chinese, Li Xi even sacrificed a new big move, that is, Chinese proficiency, which is the only assessment linked to military salaries in addition to military ranks.
Under this stimulus, the North Korean soldiers had to bite the bullet to learn Chinese, and after half a year, although it was still a little difficult to write, it was basically no longer a problem to communicate in Chinese.
On weekdays, the instructor will also teach them some Chinese, such as how to speak in Chinese when reporting the situation.
It's not standard, but if you listen carefully, you can still understand it.
"Battalion Commander Zhang, take a step to speak!" Cai Ye pulled Zhang Yingkun to the side.
As for the politeness of the Korean army, Cai Ye and even the entire Royal Army are very satisfied, except for the officers above the regimental commander, who will treat the officers and soldiers of the Royal Army according to their ranks.
In terms of attitude, the Chinese Empire did not pick on the Korean army.
It has been a few months since he came to the First Army, and Cai Ye has gradually adapted to the compliments of the North Korean army, but deep down he has not relaxed at all.
He was nothing more than a warrant officer staff officer in training, and only when the word "internship" was removed would he be promoted to second lieutenant.
Although he is a little sorry for his experience of studying in Japan, Cai Ye is still very confident in this kind of military system, he does not engage in specialization in peacetime, and rewards meritorious deeds in wartime, everyone has the opportunity to be promoted, and everyone's fate is in their own hands.
Here, soldiers do not have to rack their brains to bribe their superiors for promotion, for the officers and soldiers of the Royal Army, the best bribe is to make meritorious contributions, the better the performance, the more the commander likes you, the more he takes care of you, and the more opportunities for promotion.
Under this virtuous circle, whether it is an officer or a soldier in the army, everyone is racking their brains to study the proper business.
Originally, Cai Ye did not have to come here in person, but this matter was not trivial, Cai Yi was personally arranged here by Cao Kun, responsible for contacting the follow-up North Korean army, and informing them of their respective tasks.
It would be impossible for ordinary people to entrust such an important task to a trainee warrant officer.
"Battalion Commander Zhang, the headquarters is also well aware of the hard work of the soldiers, if there is a choice, the headquarters would rather let the soldiers rest here for the night, and wait until tomorrow to cross the river.
But now the situation has changed, and the situation at the front is beyond the previous preparations of the command. Let me tell you this, I don't know how many Japanese troops are hidden in that mountain forest, but during the day today, our army has been fighting with the Japanese army for a whole day, advancing the battle line for nearly 20 kilometers.
But after all, our army is limited in numbers, and it seems that the number of troops is still sufficient at the moment, but our army has already detected it, and there are more Japanese troops hiding there in the distance.
Therefore, the headquarters has changed the original battle plan, and I can't tell you the specific new battle plan, but you can rest assured that your troops only need to advance about ten kilometers tonight, and there should be encounters with our troops.
After arriving there, you can rest all night, and if nothing else, tomorrow all day, you will not be given too heavy tasks, and the troops will be mainly recovered, and the main combat tasks will still be undertaken by our army. Speaking of this, Cai Ye said in a low voice: "You can know this matter yourself, let the soldiers rest all night tonight, after tonight, who knows when there will be such an opportunity again?" ”
"What? There were more Japanese troops there? How did they all come here? Zhang Yingkun was extremely shocked, a little unbelievable.
"yes, I can't believe it, but that's the way it is. Our main forces have driven thousands of Japanese troops twenty kilometers away, and today there is a battalion forty kilometers behind enemy lines, where more Japanese troops have been found, so the plan was changed, and I can only tell you so much.
Okay, Battalion Commander Zhang, let's take the troops over as soon as possible, the sooner you go, the more time you can rest, which will probably save your lives in future battles. Cai Ye continued.
"Yes, sir! I'll take the troops over. "That's all said and done, Zhang Yingkun knows what Cai Yi means no matter how stupid he is.
Obviously, the number of Japanese troops on the opposite side is too much, and they don't know how much they are hiding secretly, and it is far from enough to rely on the Royal Army.
Even if these Korean troops are unable to exert their combat effectiveness in a short period of time after they arrive, they can still frighten the Japanese and make them not dare to attack easily.
As for the follow-up troops, Cai Ye naturally went to inform him personally.
And Cai Ye didn't let him tell the news to his soldiers, and Zhang Yingkun didn't have any objections, even if Cai Ye didn't say it, he didn't dare to leak the news easily.
First, they are worried that after learning the news, the troops will become cowardly, which will lead to instability in the army's morale. The other is that during the day today, there were deserters in their battalion, to be precise, there should be Japanese spies.
What if there is a spy in the shadows? What if the Japanese learned about the situation on their side and made corresponding changes? Zhang Yingkun is still counting on this battle to make a contribution, and he hasn't thought about dying too soon.
But no matter what, Zhang Yingkun at least had to reveal some of the reasons why he continued to march to the soldiers.
And Zhang Yingkun's method is very simple, that is, the follow-up troops are about to arrive, they must immediately cross the river, and then deploy and rest about 10 kilometers inside North Korea.
With this foundation, Zhang Yingkun easily set off with the troops again, but fortunately, this time it was only ten kilometers away, and crossing the river was their motherland, and the soldiers could still survive it.
After arriving there, naturally some soldiers went to arrange their camp, in fact, they set aside an area for them, telling them to stay here and rest, as for arranging guards or something, the North Korean army itself was responsible.
By dawn the next day, the Fifth Division had basically crossed the Yalu River, and the Fifth Division, which had not rested all night, was allowed to rest after a similar 10-kilometer journey, while the commander of the Fifth Division was called to the headquarters, where Cao Kun personally explained some things to him and provided him with a radio station.
However, this radio station is still controlled by the Royal Army, and Cao Kun sent two squads of soldiers to protect this radio station, and because the main task of this squad is not to fight, so each person carries ten grenades, and once encountered, their first task is to completely destroy this radio station.
