Chapter 156: Catharsis
On January 11, the fourth year of Chongzhen, a group of soldiers wearing red fat jackets and leather boots stood solemnly on the huge training ground of the Zhenshan Battalion.
Today is the first military exercise after the establishment of the Zhenshan Battalion, on the training ground of the Zhenshan Battalion, there is a hunting and flying military flag in front of the queue of soldiers in each bureau, and all the military flags are bright red colors, the difference is that the patterns embroidered on the red flags are different.
According to the unified deployment of the 1,000 headquarters of the Zhenshan Battalion, each bureau must select a different kind of flowers, birds, fish and insects as the markers of the military flag of the headquarters, and use the markers on the military flag to distinguish the troops under the Zhenshan Battalion during the battle.
Yang 80 is subordinate to the second bureau of the second division of the 1,000th general department of the Zhenshan Battalion, and the second general is now Zhou Wei, who has just been promoted.
Thinking of the chaotic shouting of "Zhou Donkey, Zhou Donkey" when they met before, in the blink of an eye, they were already the senior officials in charge of nearly 500 soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion of the Second Division, and it felt like a dream.
Isn't it, even Ma Shan, who was privately called the hemp tiger by the soldiers, was promoted to the head of the bureau. It can be seen that as long as there is a good opportunity, the promotion in the earthquake camp is very fast.
The commander said that as long as the military regulations are strictly adhered to in the Zhenshan Battalion, there will be a lot of opportunities for promotion if they are brave in battle.
On the archway at the entrance of the camp, "If you want to be a soldier of the earthquake mountain camp, do the things of the earthquake mountain camp first." It also explains bluntly that only if you pay for the earthquake camp, you will definitely get rich returns.
Yang Eighty secretly clenched the bird gun in his hand, and I, Yang Eighty, will be the president of hundreds, generals, or even thousands sooner or later......
The bird gun in Yang Eighty's hand is now exclusive to him, and his team of soldiers has a total of four bird guns, and now each of them holds a bird gun in his hand. looked at the eyes of several of his subordinates staring at the bird. Just like staring at a big beauty, Yang Ba had a sense of pride in his heart. You can own a bird's gun!
For the first time, the birds and soldiers who have mastered their own are all excited. Fighting the enemy with a stick in hand is not what they want!
On the same day, Sun Fang, the former bird gun instructor, came to the Zhenshan camp again. Watch the shooting drills of the Quake Mountain Battalion soldiers, who actually have bird guns.
Seeing this group of bird soldiers who had been taught by themselves to launch according to the steps in a somewhat rusty way, the corners of Sun Fang's eyes were a little moist, the commander did not let his efforts be in vain, and now is the time for the Zhenshan Battalion to really show its strength!
Yang Eighty and other Bird Gun soldiers are also full of gratitude to Sun Fang, the Bird Gun Enlightenment Instructor, it can be said that Sun Fang cultivated Bird Gun soldiers for the Zhenshan Battalion!
Suddenly, a loud military horn sounded, and this military horn sounded to indicate that the review was about to begin, and the commander and others had already boarded the review stand to review the results of the training of the Zhenshan Battalion in the past two months.
After a while, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion will be enemies of each other and will fight each other, while the bird soldiers and artillery will be separate units. A special person will check the number of times the bird soldier fires within the specified time, and finally the special person will identify the number of effective targets as the criterion for the victory or defeat of both sides. This is a big test for Yang Eighty and other bird soldiers who have just mastered the bird gun for a few days!
The artillery is a separate military unit just formed by the Zhenshan battalion, there are a total of eight tiger squat guns, in the final analysis, the tiger squat cannon is actually a fire gun that is magnified several times, in order to facilitate shooting, the cannon is placed in a fixed posture, very similar to the appearance of the tiger squatting, so it is named. It is suitable for combat areas such as mountains, forests, and paddy fields that hinder the mobility of artillery.
In order to master how to fire artillery as soon as possible, Feng Jian went to Pingdu City again to ask Chen Suowen to help find some people who could fire artillery.
Chen asked rhetorically: "You are really smart but you were mistaken by cleverness." There are obviously many people under your command who know how to fire tiger cannons, and they are still looking for the old man! ”
Feng Jian was puzzled, and asked in a daze: "Uncle really thinks highly of my little nephew, where will there be people under me who fire artillery?" ”
Chen Suowen nodded Feng Jian with his hand and said, "The old man asked you." The more than 200 craftsmen in this Pingdu City did not go to your gourd rock. ”
Feng Jian's heart tightened, and then he thought that he was also an official at this time, so he said calmly: "Not bad." Because these artisans had no food and clothing, they volunteered to go to my gourd rock to survive. ”
Chen Suowen sighed and said: "These craftsmen have a difficult life, and the old man has heard about it. Now you can give them the opportunity to eat and drink, and the old man is happy to see it. It's just that the artisan households are not recognized by the government and move privately. But a great sin! Anyway, the old man will write that these craftsmen will be counted as being sent by the government to your state flood camp. ”
Feng Jian was naturally inexplicably grateful to this prospective father-in-law who helped him wholeheartedly, and then thought that most of these craftsmen were craftsmen who made firearms, and the prospective father-in-law suddenly talked about these craftsmen, then they must be proficient in artillery firing!
Thinking of this, Feng Jian suddenly said: "Little nephew understands, most of these craftsmen are proficient in the method of artillery firing, thank you uncle for your advice!" ”
Chen smiled when he heard this, looking like a teachable child.
Feng Jian hurried back to Huluyan and found Liang Yuanhao, the leader of the craftsmen who had just settled in Huluyan. Not surprisingly, these craftsmen really know how to fire artillery.
Feng Jian was overjoyed and directly selected thirty people from the craftsmen as the gunners of the Zhenshan Battalion, because each Tiger Squat Cannon needed three gunners to fire, and the Zhenshan Battalion now has eight Tiger Squat Cannons, and the extra six people will be used as instructors to train artillery players for the Zhenshan Battalion.
The thirty craftsmen were all young and strong people, and when they heard Feng Jian explain in detail the various benefits of being selected for the Zhenshan Battalion, they naturally enthusiastically participated, so the artillery of the Zhenshan Battalion came into being!
In order to improve the actual combat capability of the two major firearms as soon as possible, Feng Jian ordered the supply of bird guns and artillery to be opened. As a result, in the corner of the training ground of the Zhenshan Camp, the sound of artillery and the firing of muskets continued all day long.
The sound of the military horn sounded again, and Yang Ba found that on the parade platform set up in the training ground, the commander Feng Jian was already standing in the center of the parade platform, and Xu Yannian, the commander of the Zhenshan Battalion, stood slightly on the left side of the commander, and then Zhao Shougang, Huang Fuchun, Zhou Wei, Zheng Qing, Shen Xiaoshan, Jiao Keli (Jiao Ganger's name), Sun Fang, Qin Huaibao, Shen Hanyang and other core figures of Huluyan were also standing respectfully.
Feng Jian looked at the red array of military appearances under the parade stage, and looked at the nearly a thousand pairs of eager eyes under the stage. Feng Jian unconsciously felt shocked, this army started from scratch. It was only two or three months, but he has now become an organized, disciplined, capable and daring army.
Silently staring at the eager soldiers in the audience. Feng Jian is proud in his heart, this is the army that Feng Jian has established! It's an army loyal to me, Feng Jian!
Feng Jian turned his head to Xu Yannian to signal the drill to begin, Xu Yannian was holding a triangular red flag in his hand, only to see him raise his hand and raise the red flag and wave it vigorously.
A long military horn sounded from the audience, and suddenly the still queue began to move slowly.
A bright red military flag at the front is embroidered with a goshawk flying with wings, and the words "First Division" are embroidered on the lower corner of the flag. Under the guidance of the military flag of the first division, the soldiers of the first division of the Zhenshan battalion wearing brand-new red fat jackets began to slowly detour towards the review stand, and the bright red military flag of the second division was embroidered with a descending tiger, and the words of the second division were embroidered on the lower corner of the flag. The officers and men of the Second Division also slowly walked around to the review stand under the guidance of the military flag.
The sound of the military horn stopped, and only the sound of "stepping, stepping, stepping," was heard on the training ground, and the nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion were like a moving red sea, and the sword and shield soldiers, bird guns, and pikemen walked in neat and firm steps, and their eyes were eagerly watching the commander on the review platform not far away.
Someone in the queue suddenly started and sang: "...... The rain of guns and arrows is terrifying, and our soldiers are strong, and the ghosts and gods are shocked to shed a hero's tears on the battlefield to see the blood......"
Soon all the soldiers joined the singing procession. The loud and majestic singing resounded through the training ground of the earthquake camp.
All the high-level members of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion, including Feng Jian, were shocked by the singing that suddenly resounded between heaven and earth, and at this moment, this sea of red exuded an unparalleled momentum.
The singing continues: "...... There is death in life through the ages, how can you be a soul, and your death is still listed. The bones are rotten and the blood is still chime, why be afraid of arrows like rain, and the mighty pressure is ...... dust"
Everyone standing behind Feng Jian looked at this mighty and majestic team, and they all trembled with excitement. They couldn't believe that the marching team in the audience had such a shocking power!
Under the guidance of the military flag of the hunting exhibition, the red sea traveled to the review stand. The loud military song quietly stopped.
"For my gourd rock, be willing to be a precursor. Serve the commander, who else will I be! After a moment of silence, a chorus of slogans rang out in unison again.
"Brush, brush, brush" All the soldiers raised their blades in their hands, and there was a tremor near the review stand of the footsteps of "step, step, step",
On the review stage, Sun Fang, Qin Huaibao, Shen Hanyang and others finally couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and tears filled their eyes!
On the review stand, Zhao Shougang and Shen Xiaoshan looked at Feng Jian with tears in their eyes: "...... Serve the commander, who else ...... me"
Suddenly, the slogans on and off the stage resounded throughout the training ground of the Zhenshan Battalion, and Feng Jian also had tears in his eyes and waved vigorously to the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion under the stage!
At this moment, the excited emotions on and off the stage are intertwined, and they erupt without restraint!
It took a while for this sea of red to pass in front of the review stand, and it was still back to its original position and lined up.
On the stage, Feng Jian and the others stabilized their emotions, and the next step was to conduct actual combat training. Feng Jian once again signaled to Xu Yannian, who was excited, to start the drill.
Xu Yannian waved the triangular red flag in his hand again, only to see that the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen in the Zhenshan camp queue did not move, while the bird soldiers took the initiative to retreat, left the main array, and headed towards the bird gun shooting range under the leadership of their respective leaders.
The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Divisions who remained at the scene relined themselves and began actual combat drills of various formations between the two divisions.
On the side of the training ground stood twenty young men and women about fifteen or sixteen years old, and judging from their intoxicated and tearful expressions, they must have been shocked by the procession of the demonstration of the Earthquake Mountain Camp just now.
They are also wearing the red fat jackets of the soldiers of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion, but they are not soldiers of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion, and the identity of the twenty of them is the medical staff of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion Medical Team. (To be continued......)
