[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 158: Temporary Military Exercise (7th Update!) Ask for a subscription! ）

As the saying goes, people who have no foresight must have near-term worries, because he knows the historical context, so Ma Zheng attaches special importance to this, even if it is easy to be seen as showing off his military exploits.

In an open space five kilometers outside Yan'an City, 12 battalion-level formations stood there neatly, thousands of people in a mighty manner, looking quite majestic.

There are two reasons why the military parade was not held in Yan'an City, but was held here. On the one hand, it is the reason of Yan'an itself, Yan'an was originally a small city in northern Shaanxi, which was unknown before the arrival of the Red Army and was not known to outsiders at all. The size of the city is so small that it doesn't even look like a market town on the coast. How could such a small city allow hundreds of cars and artillery pieces of the Duqi Division to be deployed.

On the other hand, Yan'an City has complex personnel, and there are elite spies lurking here on all sides, and if military exercises are carried out in the city, it is not conducive to keeping secrets.

However, Ma Zheng's southward movement was carried out in a secret state, mainly because he was worried that the Japanese army would attack the base area after knowing that Ma Zheng had left the Suicha base area. If the secret is exposed because of the military exercise, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

When the convoy of the chairman and others was about to arrive at the predetermined location, Ma Zheng received a telegram from the special operations team, and then Ma Zheng also got into a car and then went forward to meet him.

Ma Zheng's car and the car in which the chairman and others were riding met more than a meter in front of the troop assembly site. Then Ma Zheng got out of the car, solemnly saluted the chairman and others, and shouted loudly: "Report to the chairman: all 7,643 people of the southbound detachment of the Eighth Route Army's Seventh Division have been assembled, please review it by the head of the Central Committee!" Commander-in-chief of the parade - Ma Zheng! ”

After the chairman got out of the car, he also solemnly returned a standard military salute to Ma Zheng and said loudly: "Start"

At the time of coming here. According to the special combat team members who acted as drivers, they explained the general process of the military parade to the chairman and others. Since there were only 12 battalions of more than 7,000 troops on parade this time, and they all stood in a phalanx, it didn't look very long, and it was less than 500 meters from the beginning to the end.

The ceremony and process of the troops' parade had already been explained to the chairman in advance. Therefore, the chairman shouted the phrase "hello comrades" 11 years in advance, and the troops also shouted the same classic "serve the people".

"Hello comrades"

"Good Chief"

"Comrades have worked hard"

"Serving the people"

The chairman's cordial greetings and the resounding replies of the officers and men on review resounded throughout the wilderness.

Not far away, on a military truck, the communications unit of the guard battalion set up a bulky amplification equipment, and a soldier said loudly in a non-standard Shaanxi dialect: "In the beacon years, the three armed forces lined up, and the iron armor shines brightlyAt this sacred moment when the 40,000,000 people of the Chinese nation are engaged in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the heroic people's army of the Seventh Division under the leadership of the Communist Party of China under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army is subject to the party's solemn review. ”

"We will not forget that the May Fourth cry awakened the desire of the Chinese people to pursue freedom, and we will not forget that the feat of founding the party opened a new chapter in the Chinese nation's indignation and hard work. We will not forget that the gunfire in Nanchang in 1928 sent out the roar of the sons and daughters of China against oppression, and we will not forget that the great declaration opened a new journey for the descendants of the dragon to wash away a hundred years of shame."

After reviewing the twelve squares, under the leadership of Ma Zheng, the chairman and others came to a small hill not far in front and stopped, followed by a parade performance.

I saw that under the command of the military commanders of the various units, all sides strode towards the small hill. This time, Ma Zheng personally served as the commentator, and Ma Zheng explained loudly next to the central leaders: "The first to be inspected by the column is the infantry squadron, and at the forefront of the troops is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and firepower reinforcement battalions of the 7th Independent Division's guard regiment. The predecessor of the guard regiment was the guard platoon of the first battalion of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. It is an old unit that started from the Seventh Division. Now it is one of the most elite infantry units of the 7th Division, which has three infantry battalions and one firepower reinforcement battalion. A total of 1,437 Type 38 rifles, 35 light machine guns and heavy machine guns, 16 mortars and 25 grenadiers were equipped."

"Now walking in front of the leaders is the independent regiment of the Seventh Division, the regiment is the first rapid reaction force in the real sense of our army, the whole regiment of more than 3,300 people are all equipped with war horses, the horse can be cavalry, the horse is elite infantry, the regiment is equipped with"

“………”

The last to be inspected was the phalanx of the Thor Special Operations Brigade. There were less than two hundred people passing through the entire phalanx, and the rest were on guard around the perimeter. But when this unit walked in front of the chairman and others, everyone felt a light in their eyes.

Elite is elite, and everywhere you go, you are the most eye-catching star.

Ma Zheng explained loudly: "Chiefs, what is walking in front of us now is the most mysterious and most effective sharp knife unit of our Duqi Division, the Thor Special Operations Brigade. This is a special operations elite composed of elite veterans and combat heroes, as well as highly educated soldiers. This is a heavenly army that specializes in appearing in unexpected places where the enemy does not expect, and they are the nightmare of the enemy. ”

"Each of them not only has the skills of catching prisoners in a speeding car, climbing cliffs, grappling and fighting, stepping on ice and snow, and wading in the water. Special operations such as group reconnaissance and espionage, covert infiltration, raids and sabotage, joint operations, and hostage rescue are also all available. At the same time, they are a group of unsung heroes, no matter how brilliant their achievements will not be explicitly commended, and no matter how heavy the casualties, they will not be sympathized and comforted by the Chinese people. ”

After the parade was completed, all the troops gathered at the foot of the hillside where the chairman and others were standing, neatly organized in 14 squares, neatly dressed, well-equipped, full of enthusiasm, and high fighting spirit, this is a force with both pride and self-confidence, and this is a force that makes the enemy feel terrified.

Ma Zheng's voice sounded again: "Please speak for us, the chairman"

The chairman strode forward and quietly looked at the mighty and majestic army under the hill, and at this moment, he seemed to have returned to ten years ago, to the eve of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, to the Jinggang Mountain, to the Ruijin City, and to the Chishui River......

"The flesh and blood of heroes have condensed into the iron bones of the Chinese, and the spirit of heroes has gathered the fierce and loyal soul of the people's army. I am very pleased to see you go from weak to strong, from a newly defeated army that is about to be annihilated by the enemy to the mighty army you are now. You have not forgotten the glorious tradition we inherited from Nanchang City, and you have used your strength to make the Duqi Division famous! ”

"Time goes by, time flies, we have gone through 10 years of armed struggle, and in these 10 years we have fought against the warlords, with the landlords, with the compradors, with the reactionary government, and with the heavens. We did not pick up guns for the sake of promotion and wealth, still less did we rise up to resist for personal pleasure, we embarked on the road of revolution for the sake of thousands of oppressed and enslaved Chinese like us. ”

"With the party's entrustment and hope, you went south to reinforce the Wuhan battlefield, and I believe that you will report to the party and the people with the sound of gunfire piercing the sky and the supreme glory. You will surely stir the thousand-thousand-mile territory of the thousand-year-old country and the galloping blood of the Chinese nation with epic shocking achievements, and may the heroic spirit of the Seventh Division of the Dudu continue to surge, surge, and play with majesty and momentum......"

After the exercise, Ma Zheng handed over the troops to the command of Huang Sicheng, who went south with the army, while he himself took Xu Hu and Xing Chao to follow the chairman and others back to Yan'an City by car. (To be continued.) )
