Chapter 922: The Awe-inspiring Expansion of Righteousness (4)

After three months of assault construction, the valley under the peak of the Lushan East Valley has become very smooth, and you can see neatly stacked building materials and construction sites everywhere, and three brand-new buildings that were completed ahead of schedule are neatly arranged and staggered and orderly, which are the training hall of the officer training corps, the auditorium and the library. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The curtain has just been opened on the training of the first 2,500 officers of the officer corps, and the training corps has been carried out in an orderly and intense manner in accordance with the established teaching plan. The instructors who serve in the training course are all outstanding shooting, communications, engineer, and artillery instructors selected from various military schools by the Military Training Directorate's Department to conduct highly targeted joint exercises in mountain tactics and infantry artillery for the trainees. Chiang Kai-shek also personally hired German, Italian, and American military advisers to study with senior commanders the new fortress tactics proposed by German advisers: "Advance step by step, advance step by step, and fortify forts."

At the opening ceremony on the first day, Chiang Kai-shek was furious that four officers could not stand for a long time under the scorching sun and fainted, and knocked on the table to deliver a reprimand that made more than 2,000 officers from all armies and divisions tremble:

"If you can't stand in the sun for a few hours, how can you lead troops? How to fight? Why is our army lacking combat effectiveness? It is because of the arrogance of officials at all levels, the struggle for power and profit, the deduction of military salaries and the insult of soldiers, some generals are barbaric and do whatever they want, and they are greedy and greedy, and if they are allowed to develop, who else can the country rely on? Who else can the army rely on? You are all the pillars of the party-state, and you must behave yourself! ”

In the end, Chiang Kai-shek led all the officers to recite the premier's will, and he memorized a sentence, and the students followed suit. That night, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling did not live in a simple house, and spent the night in a tent like all the students. This move shook all the students, and their spirits quickly improved.

It is precisely because of the stern reprimand on the first day that today's orderliness and meticulousness have been achieved.

At the tactical seminar in the afternoon, Chiang Kai-shek, China's supreme military commander, sat in the center of the front row of the auditorium, and beside Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng, head of the training regiment, Liu Shaoxian, and Liu Shan, deputy commanders of the regiment, He Yaozu, acting director of training, and Huang Shaohong, minister of the interior, and other senior members of the Central Military Commission. Yang Jie, acting president of the Central Army University, Zhang Zhizhong, director of education of the Central Army School, Zhu Huaibing, Li Minghao, Wang Jun, and other 27 chief instructors and bishops at the general level, the principals of the cavalry, artillery, and engineer military schools, and the best professional instructors of each school and army are vividly visible, and 12 foreign affairs experts, including German affairs adviser Kotz, were all present, and more than 2,000 trained officers packed the auditorium, and the aisles were also filled with rows of neat students.

It can be said that in the auditorium at this time, the best military experts in China today were concentrated, and most of the middle and senior officers of the squadron in the next ten years or so were concentrated, which shows that Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to and expected the Lushan Officer Training Corps.

The protagonist on the stage today is not a military theorist with profound qualifications and rich knowledge, nor is he an important party member who is proficient in party affairs and organizational principles, but Yin Jinan, a 27-year-old new engineer and military superintendent and former lieutenant general of the 24 th Army.

After Lin Wei, who presided over the meeting, finished the introduction, Yin Jinan saluted the audience with a standard military salute in applause, there was no trace of excitement and uneasiness on his young face, and there was no restraint in his eyes under a pair of single eyelids.

Yin Jinan and Lin Wei, who had exited, saluted each other, turned sideways and motioned to several staff officers to lift a huge blackboard, set it up in front of the podium, picked up a piece of chalk, approached the microphone, and said calmly:

"I would like to thank the Chairman for his trust, and thank you to the seniors in the military for giving me an opportunity to learn and communicate with my colleagues. Now, I would like to discuss with you the example of the 'Wulong Annihilation Battle' in which the 44th Army of the Central Army in Xiangxi and the 24th Army of Southern Sichuan jointly suppressed bandits in the Sichuan-Hunan-Guizhou border region. Since the operational map presented by the Headquarters of the Frontline Suppression Coalition Forces is too small to be visible in the first row when hung up, I intend to draw the positions of the four divisions and the battle lines of the Suppression Coalition Forces on a large blackboard so that everyone can see them. ”

After listening to Yin Jinan's words, the generals and more than 2,000 students in the audience were very puzzled, thinking how much time would it take for you to draw a map? Who knew that it only took half a minute, Yin Jinan had already thrown down the chalk head and turned around, lifted the baton, pointed to the two thick arcs on the big blackboard and the five place names with huge characters, and explained in his characteristic calm voice:

"Don't be surprised, although the Sichuan, Hunan and Guizhou regions have invested four main divisions to suppress bandits, and the two fronts in the north and south add up to almost 300 kilometers, in fact, it is simply summarized as two lines and five points, and it doesn't matter if the colleagues sitting in the back can't see clearly, these two lines and five points are easy to remember, and I will say that everyone can remember them again."

The generals in the audience looked at each other, and the students were very surprised and deeply admired, and suddenly remembered the identity of the founder of Yin Jinan's model battalion, and remembered that not long ago Yin Jinan was still the commander of the 24th Army of the Yongguan Army, and they were all impressed by Yin Jinan's extraordinary bearing on the stage.

Chen Cheng's heart moved, leaned close to Chiang Kai-shek's ear, and whispered: "Commission, my subordinates usually ignore General Jinan." ”

Chiang Kai-shek held his head high and replied proudly: "I have never neglected this good student, An Yi would not have today's prestige without him and Hu Jialin, and there would be no An Jiajun today, but unfortunately, I still reused it late." ”

Yin Jinan paused for a moment, raised his baton, pointed to the blackboard, and in a few words, he clearly explained the combat positions and front arrangements of the 3rd Division of Zhang Cunzhuang's 44th Army, Min Jingxian's 39th Division of the 24th Army of Anjia Army, Wang Xulun's 44th Division, and Liu Xiang's 4th Division of the 21st Army.

After a slight pause, Yin Jinan focused on the course and results of the "Wulong Annihilation Battle", thoughtfully analyzed the strategic purpose and tactical significance of the battle, dealt a heavy blow to the rapidly growing Huang Han Army, and changed the operational initiative as a result, and finally spoke highly of the two mountain brigades of the coalition army that launched this battle.

Yin Jinan's short 15-minute explanation was concise, concise and to the point, and his words were vivid and vivid, as if he was there in person, and it was refreshing to listen to the generals and instructors in the audience, and more than 2,000 students were fascinated and deeply inspired. After Yin Jinan finished speaking, he put down the baton, and the audience erupted in warm applause, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting in the middle of the front row, looked at Yin Jinan, his eyes were full of pride and love.

Yin Jinan was about to salute and leave, but the chief instructor Yang Jie obtained the consent of Chiang Kai-shek, briefly discussed a few words with Zhang Zhizhong, and then asked Yin Jinan to stay on the stage for the time being, quickly stepped onto the stage, and addressed the audience:

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you General Yin Jinan for his exquisite explanation, I believe that General Yin's analysis will be helpful to you, and the purpose of today's meeting is to discuss the successful application of the 'Wulong Annihilation War' mountain warfare. General Yin is one of the founders of our army's first mountain brigade, and that elite brigade is still under the independent division of our army, which has made outstanding achievements and is known as the "Iron and Steel Heroic Division", that is, the new brigade of the independent division that made great achievements in the Songhu War of Resistance and the Great Wall War of Resistance.

"Another professional mountain brigade with the same name is the 130th Brigade of the 44th Division under the command of General Gu Changfeng, the tiger general of our army, which is one of the two elite brigades of the 'Wulong Annihilation War', these two brigades are derived from today's independent divisions, and they are elite mountain troops co-founded by generals such as General Yin Jinan, General An Yi, and General Hu Jialin, so General Yin Jinan has the most say in mountain brigades and mountain operations.

"Next, please General Yin give us a detailed introduction to the composition, training methods, command methods and political education methods of the mountain brigade, if you have any questions, you can write them on a piece of paper and hand them over to the battalion commanders to ask General Yin to answer, so as to buy some time."

Yin Jinan had no choice but to continue to explain, he unreservedly introduced the various situations of the mountain brigade to the audience, because in the textbook of the Central Military Academy, there is a monograph on mountain warfare co-authored by him and An Yi, and there are many combat examples since the Northern Expedition for the students to discuss, so he does not need to have any concealment, it took more than 20 minutes to briefly introduce it, and under the excited gaze of the audience, he took a dozen notes carefully selected by Lin Wei and Yang Jie, read it, and began to answer:

"The dozen or so questions here add up, in fact, they are three questions, two of which involve more professional technical issues, I would like to invite you to find the Central Military Academy's mountain warfare textbooks and take a look at them yourself, and you will understand after reading them, and I will answer the most typical and controversial questions below."

The audience suddenly resounded with a buzzing discussion, Yang Jie and Lin Wei, who were standing on the side, glanced at each other and showed a helpless smile, they didn't expect that Yin Jinan, who looked like a humble gentleman, would also have such an arrogant side.

Yin Jinan did not have any abnormality: "This question is more representative, and it means that if other divisions and brigades of the Central Army also have the same advanced equipment as the divisions under General An Yi and General Hu Jialin, and have the generous benefits and treatment that surpass those of the descendant divisions, they will not be much worse than the 44th Division of the 24th Army or the Independent Division of the 17th Army."

This only goes to the surface, but not the substance, and I think it is very irresponsible. First, we did not see a huge gap between them in the management of the armed forces. I will take the independent division as an example to explain that from the day the banner of the 'model battalion' was erected, there was an unwritten decision that is still strictly observed today, that is, middle and low-level commanders, including regiment commanders, must eat a big pot of rice and train together with ordinary soldiers under their command the rest of the time, except for meetings and normal receptions.

To this day, the Independent Division, the 24th Army, and even the 44th Army in Xiangxi still strictly maintain this tradition, and officers below the deputy regiment commander and below are not only not equipped with orderly, but also have to live in large barracks with the officers and men under their command, so as to maintain unity, fraternity, and mutual understanding among officers and men, which has virtually formed an effective incentive for officers and men, and has formed an equality of personality and mutual respect among officers and men. Therefore, when such troops start a war, they are often able to work together and be unstoppable. Let me ask, this point that seems to be the simplest is the most important point, who among the divisions of our Central Army can do it? ”

There was silence in the audience, no one dared to speak out again, Yin Jinan's awe-inspiring momentum without anger made him look tall and tall.

Yin Jinan continued: "Second, all the companies of the independent division, up to now, still adhere to the same set as in the model battalion period every day, except during the war and during the exercise, no matter how tired and busy they are, they must also arrange time for cultural tutoring, carry out ideological exchanges between officers and soldiers, or raise problems, which will be solved through collective discussion. Therefore, the vast majority of officers and men can read the instructions for weapons and equipment, memorize the rules and regulations, and correctly comprehend the various orders issued by commanders at all levels.

"For example, I saw such a document in the training director's department: After rigorous training, the first division of our Central Army, that is, the first division of senior brother Hu Zongnan, the operation level of the officers and men of the mortar company has been greatly improved, and in the recent exercise, the mortar company has achieved an excellent result of eight firing per minute and a first hit rate of 55 percent. Now I will talk about the training results of the mortar company of the 16th Division of the 24th Army Supplementary Regiment before I left the 24th Army: dozens of firing per minute, and the first hit rate reached 60 percent.

"Do you know what the mortariers of the new 1st Brigade of the Independent Division have passed in passing? No less than 12 firing per minute, and the first hit rate is not less than 70 percent, which is only a passing level, which not only involves the individual military quality of the soldiers, but also involves the spirit of teamwork, the military level of the commanders, and so on. Ladies and gentlemen, why is there such a big gap between the same weapons in the hands of different officers and soldiers? In my opinion, the key is not weapons, but the human factor, and no matter how good a weapon is, in the hands of troops with loose discipline, no ideals, no convictions, and no spirit, it will not be able to avoid the fate of ultimate defeat.

"Do you remember the Sino-Japanese War? At that time, the Beiyang Navy Division was the first in Asia, and the strength of the Japanese Navy was far below that of our Beiyang Navy, but what was the result of the war? I guess everyone knows, and I don't want to waste everyone's time here. Thank you! I'm done with my class, so please correct your mistakes! ”

After Yin Jinan finished speaking, he saluted and retreated, regardless of what Yang Jie and Lin Wei, who were full of emotion on the side, thought.

The audience was stunned, no one expected that the young Yin Jinan would be so arrogant, and answer questions with a gun and a stick, and he was sharp.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was greatly moved, took the lead in standing up and applauded warmly, and the audience immediately stood up.

Through this unexpected appearance, Yin Jinan finally attracted the attention and great attention of the whole army and the advisory group, and Yin Jinan's prestige soared as a result, becoming a model among the young generals respected and admired by the officers and soldiers of the Central Committee.
