Chapter 285: Opening Your Eyes (Part II)
In the crowd of onlookers, a group of deputy Luo Qun looked at the guards running at a uniform speed in surprise:
"Everyone, it's not okay to run like this, you see, Brother Tianyi, who led the elite of the replenishment regiment to chase closely, has shown fatigue, and many people are starting to lose their steps."
Du Yuming sighed: "Xiao Yi's guards each carry a weight of no less than fifteen kilograms, plus a rifle has exceeded twenty kilograms, and he still runs so easily after half the distance, which shows that his training method as a reading force is indeed outstanding!" ”
"Look! The guards accelerated their ...... again," Liu Ziqing, the instructor of the Third Regiment, exclaimed loudly.
"Grandma's, it's really fucking iron, I ran 5.6 kilometers without a break for five minutes and then ran again with weights, and I still have so much stamina, it's evil ......"
"See? Xiao Yi, that guy actually has a smile on his face! ”
Zheng Jiemin faintly heard the sound of the car motor, hurriedly looked at the gate of the barracks, and was startled when he saw one car after another slowly driving away:
"Look, it looks like a sedan from headquarters...... OMG! The headmaster's guard got out of the car, and it was the headmaster himself who came! ”
More than 20 regimental and battalion commanders did not care to watch the team running around the field, and hurriedly tidied up their appearances and lined up to wait.
After a while, Commander-in-Chief Jiang, who was dressed in military uniform, walked to the front of the neat team of Du Yuming and others surrounded by Zhang Zhizhong, Bai Chongxi and a group of generals, bowed back to his students and signaled to disband, and asked in a low voice what was going on with Zhang Zhizhong beside him?
Zhang Zhizhong saw that nearly 8,000 officers and soldiers of each regiment under his command were gathered in the middle of the field to cheer and shout, and an unfamiliar fully armed team had already run far in front of the officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment who were in a hurry, and he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
Commander-in-Chief Jiang stretched out his tense face after hearing this, and said with a smile to Bai Chongxi beside him: "I don't need to look at it, I know that the recruits of the instructor will be defeated, although An Yi's own guards are all capable and strong, but in terms of military quality, they are not the strongest in An Yi's army, the strongest is the guard battalion of the Reading Division, this battalion can carry 25 kilograms per capita on a rainy night, run for 60 kilometers, cross the Yangtze River on the way, and cross more than a dozen large and small rivers to cross the enemy's sentry posts, Among them, the mortar company was not inferior, and they followed closely without lagging behind, and their per capita weight was more than 30 kilograms, which was not comparable to that of ordinary armies. ”
Speaking of this, Commander-in-Chief Jiang turned to Zhang Zhizhong again: "Today, An Yi's decision to compete is very good, he wants to use practical actions to open the eyes of all the officers and soldiers of your instructor, see what real training is, and give you a reference and an example, very good!" I support! ”
"Yes, General An Yi is a very good commander, otherwise there wouldn't be so many jaw-dropping achievements."
Bai Chongxi nodded slightly, but he was guessing in his heart the true intention of Commander-in-Chief Jiang suddenly deciding to inspect the instructor, and vaguely felt that he was coming for An Yi.
The generals echoed the words of Commander-in-Chief Jiang and Bai Chongxi, and Zhang Zhizhong also showed a satisfied smile, and ordered the battalion commanders of each regiment to go back immediately to take the team well, and wait for the end of the run to give the principal a lecture.
Jiang Dingwen, who was slightly blessed, approached Chiang Kai-shek and laughed in a low voice: "Principal, it seems that we have come to the right place today, Xiao Yi always has his own way, his subordinates are thinking, if he knows that he can be reinstated and rushed to the front line tomorrow, he will be ecstatic, with his personal command, it will be difficult for the little Sixian to read the teacher." ”
"You always say good things about him, be careful not to make him pampered." Chiang Kai-shek admonished in a low voice, and Jiang Dingwen hurriedly nodded yes.
Liu Zhi and He Yingqin on the other side stood together and talked in a low voice, Liu Zhi pointed to the guards who were getting faster and faster and sighed in a low voice, saying that An Yi's training ability had exceeded the original by a large margin, He Yingqin nodded frequently and told Liu Zhi in a low voice: "No matter what, we must find a way to move the principal, and when the Xuzhou campaign is over, we must take the opportunity of adjustment to take back the reading master, otherwise we will lose a lot." ”
At the finish line, the guards who had completed the race one and a half laps ahead of the team marched forward neatly under the command of captain Lin Yaodong, stretched their arms to take a deep breath, and stopped all of them in less than a minute, and consciously walked to the position where they arrived and stood majestically.
An Yi, who had already seen Principal Jiang leading the generals to come, didn't care about wiping his sweat, and ran to Principal Jiang to stand up and report: "Report to the principal, student An Yi has finished training, please instruct!" ”
Chiang Kai-shek heard An Yi's slightly trembling voice, and then saw that his eyes were red and full of damp mist, and his nose was sour under the move, and his abrupt throat squirmed a few times and whispered:
"Alright, alright, you're doing a good job, don't need my instructions, go assemble your team."
"Yes!"
An Yi saluted, and then saluted dozens of old commanders and instructors, turned around and ran to Fang Tian on the spot, seeing that the regimental deputy and battalion company commanders were all tired and bent their backs, he secretly shook his head, and loudly ordered Chen Jianxuan, the instructor who had just graduated from the non-commissioned officer school: "Deputy Chen, blow the assembly whistle!" ”
"Yes!"
Chen Jianxuan, the only person in the regiment who could run long distances with a rifle on his back and always followed An Yi fifteen meters behind, blew the whistle, and the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment gathered together in a hurry, and An Yi frowned.
Chen Jianxuan ordered silence several times to no avail, and was very annoyed, walked into the soldiers and slapped a company commander and a platoon commander, "crackling" a few crisp slaps, and the whole team finally quieted down.
An Yi saw the shock and anger in the eyes of the beaten company commander and platoon commander, and did not hesitate to order the two to go out of the ranks, and let them leave the team and walk under the tree in the distance to think about it.
Chen Jianxuan looked at An Yi gratefully, An Yi nodded slightly and glanced at the assembled team again, and instructed the battalion and company commanders to bring the team under the review table according to the notice of the herald of the division headquarters.
Commander-in-Chief Chiang and dozens of generals and colonels stood neatly on the review stand, and when Zhang Zhizhong saw that the contingent had been assembled, he made a loud speech to the officers and men of the division.
In the midst of all the attention, Commander-in-Chief Chiang took two steps forward, glanced at the regiments under the stage one by one, and did not speak for a long time, and when the atmosphere was almost mobilized, Commander-in-Chief Chiang finally used his very characteristic voice to say something that surprised everyone:
"I am very satisfied with the high spirits and morale of the officers and men, and I have nothing to say about the training and study of the instructors since they became the army...... An Yi! ”
"Here!"
An Yi didn't expect Commander-in-Chief Jiang to let himself speak on such an occasion, and after answering, he obviously hesitated, and left the front of the team under the surprised gaze of the audience, ran to the position of Principal Jiang under the stage, solemnly saluted and asked loudly: "An Yi, the head of the Instructor Supplementary Regiment, is here, please instruct the Commander-in-Chief!" ”
Commander-in-Chief Jiang nodded slightly: "You talk about it, just treat it as if you were training the recruits in your own army, just say what you want." ”
An Yi lowered his voice in embarrassment: "Report to the commander-in-chief, my subordinates don't dare." ”
"Why don't you dare? Come up and say it out loud! Commander-in-Chief Chiang's face was full of encouragement.
"Yes!"
An Yi had no choice but to jump on the review stand, salute Commander-in-Chief Jiang respectfully, and then salute Zhang Zhizhong, Bai Chongxi and other generals on the stage, turned around and walked to the front of the stage in the eyes of many commanders with smiles and encouragement, and then saluted all the officers and soldiers in the audience, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly:
"Brothers, our instructor is a newly established combat division, bearing the ardent hopes of the people of the whole country, the Central Political Axe, Commander-in-Chief Chiang and the commanders!
As the name suggests, the instructor has the role of being an exemplary model, the benchmark of the whole army, and the pride of the whole army, and the officers and men who teach the instructor will forge a sharp sword in the National Revolutionary Army with firm faith, strict military discipline, and a strong fighting style.
However, today, I, An Yi, have to tell the truth, if you offend, please Haihan! I am very dissatisfied with the performance of most of the officers and men, and in a short period of six days, I have seen enthusiasm in my instructors, but I have not seen strong perseverance and vigorous fighting spirit, and I will tell you without exaggeration that the gap between you and the recruits of the Reading Division of the First Army is not ordinarily large, and the gap between you and the officers and men of the model battalion of the Reading Division who are brave and tenacious and have strict military discipline is even greater.
You've all seen the long-distance running competition just now, and now I'd like to ask you to look under the big tree to the south...... If you look at the guard platoon from the reading division, how they stand upright, look at their mental state, and compare themselves, I believe you can see the difference.
Here, I sincerely hope that you will keep in mind the following two points: first, remember that you are a proud revolutionary soldier; Second, it is necessary to keep in mind the name of the instructor, which embodies the hope of the whole army. As long as you remember these two points, you will know how to cherish your hard-won honor and know how to create your own glory! Thank you! ”
Commander-in-Chief Chiang was the first to applaud, followed by thunderous applause from the audience, and the officers and men of the instructor had a clear understanding of their honor and the current situation.
After listening to An Yi's words, An Yi's concise and plain language highly summarized the purpose, goals and existing mistakes of the instructor, and put forward a clear direction of efforts, which is all impressive.
Cai Zhonghu, who was beside Chen Cheng, rubbed his red nose and asked in a low voice, "When did Xiao Yi become so good?" It's okay to be a political instructor. ”
Chen Cheng replied with a smile: "This guy usually hides and doesn't reveal it, if he doesn't force him, he won't move, the principal is clever!" Not only does it make Xiao Yi's stomach full of grievances gone, but it can also show everyone his respect and trust in Xiao Yi, who can get such a noble courtesy? That's high! ”
"You mean ......"
Mr. Cai seems to understand the political implications.
Chen Cheng gave him a gentle elbow with his elbow: "Didn't you see so many reporters?" The principal is shaking hands with An Yi cordially, look at the smiles on their faces so touching, tomorrow the whole world will see this photo, don't you know how much it means? ”
"As soon as you said that, I fully understood, it was really an eye-opener!" Cai Zhonghu suddenly realized.
Only Bai Chongxi looked at all this with great emotion, he had to admire Commander-in-Chief Jiang's spicy political skills and coercive methods, hearing the tide of applause and seeing the dazzling flashing lights, Bai Chongxi suddenly felt that An Yi was getting farther and farther away from him......
