The Whampoa Military Academy in Nanjing ushered in the graduation of the ninth batch of cadets, and at noon in the scorching sun, they all waited for the beginning of the most serious ceremony. The cadets are all straight and heroic, and they have trained themselves to be real soldiers in the past three years.

"Stand upright!" A heart-shattering cry came from the end of the field, and I saw the sassy soldiers under the scorching sun. A middle-aged man in a straight military uniform came to the podium in front of the venue, the man was thin and bald with a strong local accent, he was Chiang Kai-shek, an important figure on the Chinese stage.

"Students, you are the pillars of the country, the stars of the future, and the people who help China get out of the predicament. Therefore, you must learn what you should learn now and lay a good foundation for the future......" After the speech, there was thunderous applause on the field.

"Hear the name of the list!"

"Sun Zhiyu! Shen Shaofan! Zhao Meng! White Dragon! Zheng Xiaohu! Huang Huancheng! Jiang Linren! Zhang Zhiheng! Willow Breeze! Chen Zeen! The above people study in Germany! ”

"Swear to the party flag!"

"Abide by the school motto, dear and sincere. Obey the party program, five powers and three people. Fulfillment of the will, the National Revolution. Inherit the martyrs, struggle and sacrifice. Carry forward and go to righteousness. Words and backgrounds, swear to succeed. ”

There was a young cadet in the swearing-in team who could no longer hide his joy, but he still endured it. He knew that taking an oath was not child's play, it was a commitment and a responsibility. When he faced the party flag, he thought of the scene when he had just entered the school, and solemnly swore in front of the party flag as now.

1931 was turbulent; Internal and external troubles filled this already stormy China, and the Nationalist Government was preparing for the third encirclement and suppression of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in Hubei, Henan and Anhui. The failure of the two encirclement and suppression made it difficult for this powerful leader to sleep. He understood how terrible the Red Army and the Communist Revolutionary Party were that drilled into the forest, and he already knew the power of the two Northern Expeditions, coupled with the fact that the Japanese entrenched in the northeast were eyeing the three northeastern provinces, 1931 may have been the beginning of what Chiang Kai-shek and his regime did not expect.

In the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, there is a three-story Fuxing house with a garden, and two guards armed with fancy machine guns guard the gate of the courtyard at the gate outside the garden. A small car slowly drove into the garden, and two young men wearing the uniforms of the National Revolutionary Army got out of the car. This bungalow is the official residence of the commander of the Nanjing Wei Rong, the owner is called Shen Yingchang, he and Chiang Kai-shek were friends when they were students, and they were also revolutionary comrades, and they had followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen together to participate in the Xinhai Revolution and the two Northern Expeditions, and the relationship with Chiang Kai-shek was extraordinary. Not only that, Shen Yingchang has three sons who are all soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army, the eldest son Shen Shaolong is a staff officer of the first phase of the Whampoa Cadet Military Staff Department, the second is Shen Shaokun, the third phase of the Whampoa is a cadet military commander of the third phase of the Whampoa, and the third Shen Shaofan is preparing to study in Germany in the ninth phase of the Whampoa. The two young people who had just gotten out of the car were Shaolong, the eldest of the Shen family, and Shaofan, the eldest of the Shen family. This time, the third brother graduated and was sent to Germany to study in the military, and the family didn't know how happy they were, and the father, who was usually busy with business, also had to take the time to go home and get together with his three children.

Our story begins with the old man of the Shen family in this revival garden.

Shaofan is not tall, only about 1.77 meters, but he has a standard military face, a national face, sword eyebrows, and a high nose, as if he was born to be a general who has insight into the battlefield. The three sons of the Shen family, Congrong, were not all influenced by his father Shen Yingchang, but their second uncle, Shen Yingshi.

Shen Yingshi was the captain of the teaching team in the early days of Whampoa, and he was also a member of the Northern Expedition, but his ability was too strong and his edge was too exposed, which led to the disaster of killing and was poisoned by the villain Wang Boling. The three sons of the Shen family were all influenced by the second uncle, and they successively followed Rong, especially Shaofan, and his admiration for the second uncle was quite deep.

Shaolong and Shaofan walked into the house and saw Shaokun sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper, with a full suitcase at his feet. Shaolong asked curiously, "Where are you going?" ”

Shaokun said: "The above sent me to the northeast, where not long ago there was the "Wanbaoshan" and "Zhongcun" incidents, and many Chinese nationals died in North Korea. I was asked to investigate. Leave after dinner! ”

"The Japanese have long coveted our land." Shaolong said while taking off his shirt.

Shaokun said: "I heard that the above is going to send you to suppress the Communist Party?" ”

Shaolong nodded and said, "The principal is not satisfied with the previous two encirclements and suppressions, this time it was 300,000 troops sent to Hubei, Henan and Anhui. ”

Shaofan held a towel in his hand and wiped his face and said: "The situation in the Northeast is so tense, we will send a large army to encircle and suppress **, the Northern Expedition; How good the people of the Eastern Crusade are fighting! Now you don't need to shoot at them. Fortunately, I'm going to Germany, out of sight, out of sight, and I'm going to suppress the Communist Party. ”

At this time, I heard a roar outside: "I don't know. I am Commander Wei Rong, I only know how to protect Nanjing, and I don't know anything else. ”

The three sons each poked their heads out of the door, and Shaofan patted Shaolong and said, "Hey! What is Daddy doing? ”

"You don't need to ask! Must have quarreled with the principal! My father had always advocated peace talks, once; If the second encirclement and suppression fails, we should sit down and talk with others in detail and find a peaceful way. But my father's opinion is still in my arms! The principal Zhang Luo suppressed the CCP for the third time! How can you say that Dad is not hot? Shaolong said while drinking a cup of tea.

Shaokun folded the newspaper, stood up from the sofa and said, "It's not a good thing that my father has always had a relationship with the principal!" Hu Zongnan; Dai Li's father's descendants are chasing after him. My father's political position is in jeopardy! ”

Shaolong patted the dust on his military pants and sat down on the sofa at once and said: "You don't have to worry about this, my father is a veteran who participated in the Northern Expedition and an old friend of the principal, and no one can do without anyone." ”

"Big brother." Shaofan said: "What does this mean? ”

Shaolong opened the newspaper and said while reading it: "In these years, military and politics are inseparable. Politics requires military escort, and military affairs must rely on politics for survival. The principal still believes in his father, otherwise how could he let his father take the 200,000 central troops with him? So you can rest assured that your father's status is not something that can be moved by Chief Hu or Boss Dai. ”

"What are you talking about?" At this time, Shen Yingchang sent a fire at the door, and walked in to see the three brothers talking, so he said casually.

"Nope!" Shaofan smiled and took Ying Chang's military hat and said, "We are analyzing the current situation. ”

Shen Yingchang smiled coldly and said, "It's also an analytical fart!" He Yingqin can also fight? I'm afraid that Lao Jiang will be disappointed again. ”

Shaolong said impatiently: "Okay! It's rare for dad to get together, so don't talk about business. Shaokun was about to leave after eating. ”

Ying Chang looked at his three sons, and said with a relieved smile on his face: "Okay! Dine! ”

Shaolong shouted towards the inner room: "Huang Ma! It's time to eat. ”

In fact, Shaolong has no place for this encirclement and suppression, he only knows that he is full of confidence in this matter, but he also knows that ** is indeed a difficult character. At the dinner table, the father and son also chatted about gossip and talked about the international situation.

Shen Yingchang looked at Shaofan and said, "Shaofan! I went to Germany to take care of myself. I won't send you in two days, and I won't have time as soon as the battle opens. ”

"It's fine!" Shaofan smiled: "You all go and get busy." I don't need you to deliver it. ”

Shaokun said: "When I get there, write a letter and come back." ”

Shen Yingchang seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh! That's right! Tomorrow you go to your principal's house, and Aunt Ailing wants to see you. ”

"Oh!" Shaofan nodded.

Nanjing in June was already quite hot, the wisps of cool breeze at night blew from the window, Shaofan didn't feel sleepy at all, he slowly stomped out of the room and came to the balcony, looking at Xixing in the sky, with a happy smile on his face, that smile was like a child who had just gotten candy. In the corner of the courtyard, Shaolong was quietly drinking tea alone, his face showing a few uneasy anxieties, and he was stamping around in the courtyard with a cigarette in his hand that was about to burn out.

"Big brother! Haven't slept yet? Shaofan walked up to Shaolong and asked.

Shaolong said: "I can't sleep." ”

Shaofan brought a cup of tea to Shaolong and said, "Is it for the sake of suppressing the Communist Party?" ”

Shaolong nodded and said, "Although we sent 300,000 troops this time to use an almost ironclad battle method, I still feel inappropriate. ”

Shaofan picked up Shaolong's cigarette from the stone table, took out a skillful light on it, took a deep breath and said to himself: "This Hademen is incense." Huh! Big brother, this cigarette was given to you by Miss Gao, right? ”

"Stinky boy! Smoking my cigarette and making fun of me. Shaolong said with a hint of a smile on his face.

Shaofan smiled mischievously and said, "So what's the matter?" Miss Gao is a good person, I see that every time she comes to our second brother, her eyes are straight. ”

"Boy! Are you tired of being alive, even the second child dares to make fun of it. Shaolong snatched the cigarette from Shaofan's mouth with a strong step, threw it to the ground fiercely, and then stepped on the ground and Cen Cen on the ground.

Shaofan frowned and said, "Look at how good the smoke is." ”

"Boy. If you're okay, go to bed and don't bother me. "Shaolong Road.

Shaofan didn't joke when he saw that the eldest brother was really a little hot, and said solemnly: "Big brother, I will tell you your views on the suppression of the Communist Party this time, I think the principal of this suppression of the Communist Party will be disappointed." ”

Shaolong couldn't help but smile and said, "You have an opinion on the fledgling that just came out of Whampoa?" ”

"Of course!" Shaofan said: "The first is the commander, I have seen the military ability of Instructor He Yingqin, and his military ability is far inferior to his political ability. ”

Shaolong nodded and said: "I also know this, He Yingqin is very much in favor of suppressing the Communist Party, and he will be reused by the principal." ”

Shaofan lit another cigarette and said: "The second is the popular foundation, the Red Army fought local tyrants in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and divided the fields, and the local people got benefits, on the other hand, the soldiers of those warlords were burned, killed and looted, so our army was not popular with the people." The third is the use of tactics, the 300,000-strong army must have a high ability to coordinate operations to attack the enemy with an iron wall, not to mention can you guarantee that the Red Army is fighting in accordance with your intentions? ”

Shaolong nodded while listening and said to himself: "The first two encirclement and suppression are suffering this loss. We set up a position, and the Reds just didn't let you go, and when we relaxed, they clenched their fists and beat you up. ”

"Actually, I studied the tactics of my Red Army, which is nothing more than looking for opportunities to destroy the enemy on the march, and they are good at fighting night battles and guerrilla warfare, so you will be very disappointed in this encirclement and suppression." Shao Fan Dao.

Shaolong had already listened to it, and Shaofan shouted more and more energetically, and said: "If it were me, I would send a group of hunting dogs to chase the beasts, so that the hunters could hit the prey." ”

Shaolong also seemed to understand: "How to fight?" ”

Shaofan smiled proudly: "Actually, it's very simple, guerrilla vs. guerrilla; Movement to movement. If I were the commander-in-chief, I would select a group of elites from the 100,000 Central Army who are proficient in mountain warfare, equipped with advanced special equipment, put them in to fight, and drive the enemy towards our main position, just like a hound drives out its prey, and then the hunter shoots again. ”

Shaolong thought for a while and said, "What if a small group of troops is met by a large force of the Red Army?" ”

Shaolong said: "This depends on the coordination ability of the troops, we can divide the troops into combat units; Units and individuals, based on operational needs, to organize troops. Can be connected as an individual; battalion as a unit; The regiment is a unit, and on the deep battlefield, it sets up a marching formation that corresponds to each other. If it is a small group of enemies, several individuals can take it, and if it can be self-digested, it can be digested by the movement troops. ”

Shaolong nodded knowingly and said to himself: "This is a good way." Hundreds of thousands of troops waited for work at leisure, and used special tactics to force the Red Army to disrupt its movement warfare. ”

Shaofan said with a smile: "The equipment of the Red Army is backward, if it is a well-equipped high-combat unit, it will definitely be able to fight one to three." ”

Shaolong looked at Shaofan carefully and said, "Ahhh No wonder my father and the principal said that you are an unworthy military general, and you can be the first; In the failure of the second encirclement, summarize the reasons for the failure and make strategic improvements, not to mention that you have not yet graduated. ”

"Strange!" Shaofan said: "I did my homework on your two encirclements and suppressions. ”

Shaolong said: "It's a pity that those wastes in the headquarters don't know how to fight at all." Shaofan, have you ever thought about not going to study abroad to the command and staff department to help me and the principal? ”

"Hey!" Shaofan said: "I don't want to be infamous for being unkind and unjust. In fact, I believe that peace talks are the ultimate foundation and the best solution. Besides, I have my dreams......"

Shaolong nodded and said, "Our Shen family is good, and the eldest brother will definitely help you fulfill your dreams." ”

The streets of the ancient capital of Nanjing were a prosperous scene, a military vehicle flew over the banks of the Qinhuai River, followed by several soldiers full of armed men, pedestrians on the street avoided the side, and one of the young people who would not notice stood on the side of the road and watched the military vehicles speeding by.

"I'm arresting people again." "Of course, the third encirclement will begin soon. Those ** are wreaking havoc here. "I heard that I caught a ** head not long ago!"

The young man in a dark blue coat looked inconspicuous and hurried through the crowd.

"Stop!" I only heard a word from behind.

The young man was startled, stopped, and didn't dare to reply, "Is it me?" ”
