Chapter 17: Military Academy Confrontation (1)
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Song Zhewu went with Shang Zhen to see off Yan Yangchu and others, while Liu Pei did not come with him today because he wanted to distribute the things sent by Song Zhewu to the troops.
Song Zhewu promised Yan Yangchu yesterday that he would use the truck he brought to send them to Dingxian, so there was a scene on the streets of Beiping that attracted the attention of pedestrians, Shang Zhen's black car, escorted by his guards, opened the road in front, and 30 trucks followed in the back, all the way to the station of Yan Yangchu and others.
Yan Yang and the others had already packed their bags and waited at the gate of the station with several main cadres of the Ping Church. As soon as Shang Zhen and Song Zhewu got off the bus, Yan Yangchu brought them over to greet Shang Zhen and introduced these main cadres of the Ping Church to Shang Zhen and Song Zhewu.
Among these people, there is a 16-year-old Xiucai who studied in the United States for 11 years, majoring in politics and philosophy. After the founding of the Republic of China, he was elected as a senator of the first National Assembly. After concentrating on teaching, he served as the principal of the National Yenching College of Law and Politics, and is now the director of the civilian department of the General Association of Peaceful Education, Chen Zhushan; Zheng Jin, founder of the National Yenching Art College and current director of the audiovisual education department of the General Association of Peaceful Education; Dr. Harvard, after returning to China, volunteered to participate in the General Association of Peaceful Religion and succumbed to Qu Junong, the secretary of the civilian department; Feng Rui, who holds a Ph.D. in agriculture from Cornell University in the United States, has served as a professor at Lingnan University in Guangzhou and Southeast University in Nanjing after returning to China, and is now the director of the Department of Agronomy of the Ping Church; In 1917, he went to the United States to study, specializing in sociology and social survey research methods, and successively studied at Pomana University, Columbia University, and the University of California, and received bachelor's and master's degrees. Since an investigation office had already been set up in Dingxian County in the early stage, and some of the personnel were already in Dingxian, this time the Ping Church was a big move, and the family members also had to go together, and there were 50 or 60 children and adults.
While Shang Zhen was talking to the crowd, Song Zhewu commanded a platoon of soldiers he had brought with him and began to help several Ping Church staff load the luggage of the Ping Church members and the materials needed to carry out their work in Dingxian County into the car.
More than 50 people, after a while, Song Zhewu returned to everyone. Yan Yangchu smiled and said, "Wen Ge, you have helped us a lot this time, not only did you not spend the money for the car, but you also got rid of the porters." "Mr. Yangchu is polite, my platoon will escort you to Dingxian, and then, they will go back to Laiyuan directly." Song Zhewu said and took out two checks, handed one to Yan Yangchu first, and said: "Mr. Yangchu, Hebei has just experienced war, and the provincial government's finances are also very difficult, and the 100,000 yuan I donated to the Ping Church on behalf of Chairman Shang." ”
Yan Yangchu took the check and said with some emotion: "Wen Ge, Chairman Shang has already given us 200,000 yuan, you still have to take this money back, it is not easy for you to lead the team, there are more places to use the money." ”
Shang Zhen saw that Song Zhewu cared about the Ping Church very much, and he was very happy, and waved his hand and said: "Mr. Yangchu, don't shirk, this is Wen Ge's heart, do you want it, but it will chill Wen Ge's heart." ”
Song Zhewu handed another check in his hand to Yan Yangchu: "The 50,000 yuan is for Mr. Yangchu to use to improve the lives of the people of the Ping Church." Seeing what Yan Yangchu was about to say, Song Zhewu continued: "Mr. Yangchu, these cadres of the Ping Church are all high-level intellectuals, and they are all elites of our nation. I have a sentence to say to Mr. Yang Chu, if there is anything inappropriate, I hope Mr. Yang Chu will forgive me. ”
"Wen Ge, please speak, you soldier can't even swallow and vomit." Yan Yangchu said with a smile that he now likes this young soldier who can write and martial arts more and more.
Song Zhewu said: "Mr. Yangchu, you and you are going to change the countryside, not let the countryside change you. Yan Yangchu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood Song Zhewu's words, Song Zhewu was aimed at him, "Moving from Beiping to Dingxian should not be just a matter of hundreds of miles away, you should go down to the peasants and live with them." This sentence said. Yan Yangchu thought for a while and said: "Wen Ge, I understand what you mean, I will try my best to take care of their lives, and I will accept this money." ”
After sending Yan Yang Chu and others away, Shang Zhen and Song Zhewu went straight to Xishan, and Shang Zhen's "Hebei Political and Military School" was set in Xishan on the outskirts. Shang Zhen considered that some of these people would go to the security brigade in the future, so that Song Zhewu could get acquainted with them earlier, so as to avoid Song Zhewu's wariness of them. What he didn't know was that Song Zhewu was playing with these people's ideas.
An hour later, Shang Zhen and the others came to Xishan, and at this time, Song Zhewu's guard company, which lacked a platoon, also caught up. It turned out that Shang Zhen had a whim on the road and asked Song Zhewu to bring the guard company here, and asked Song Zhewu's guard company to conduct a confrontation drill with the military academy. said that he wanted to test the training situation of the military academy, and Song Zhewu understood that Shang Zhen really wanted to test his Song Zhewu's troops, to be precise, he wanted to test him Song Zhewu.
The military academy is located in a col at the foot of the west mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a wall has been built on the side facing the mountain. When the team came to the gate, the sentry recognized Shang Zhen's car, and did not stop it, but only saluted and let him go, and Song Zhewu was very dissatisfied with the sentry's behavior.
There are many rows of brick and tile bungalows built in the front yard against the mountain, which looks like a dormitory area and a teaching area, and there is a two-story building facing the gate, which is the office area of the military academy from the hanging sign. There was no one in the front yard, but there were faint shouts of killing in the col behind.
The instructor on duty saw Shang Zhen coming in the building, hurriedly ran out, and reported loudly: "Report Chairman Shang, all the cadets of the military academy are conducting a confrontation drill on the training ground. Shang Zhen nodded and said to Song Zhewu: "Wen Ge, we came just in time, let's go, let's take a look, you, a military training expert, will also give guidance." ”
Under the leadership of the officer on duty, he walked along the hillside to a large open space in the col, and on the left side of the hill was a large platform built with logs, and a shed with straw mats was built on it. There are about 500 student soldiers sitting on the ground on the left side of the training ground, divided into four teams, and there are two teams of students in the field, with a total of more than 200 people.
When Shang Zhen arrived, the officers in the shed came out to greet him en masse. Shang Zhen first introduced these officers to Song Zhewu one by one, and the first one to hang the rank of major general was Wang Zhe, the training director of the military academy, who was in his 40s, and he was also Shang Zhen's classmate at the Baoding Military Academy. The others are the directors and instructors of the various coaching departments, as well as the district captains of the six district teams. When Shang Zhen introduced Gu Xiong, the captain of the third district, Song Zhewu couldn't help but take a few more looks, Gu Xiong had a small head, but his figure was relatively strong, and the most eye-catching thing was that a pair of eyes were particularly focused. It was this Gu Xiongyi who first entered the school, Wang Xinggang was the ZG party member he developed, and there seems to be another person who was later the deputy commander of the JFJ artillery, what is it called, Song Zhewu can't remember clearly. When Shang Zhen introduced Song Zhewu, Wang Xinggang had already run into the crowd and talked and laughed in a low voice with several familiar instructors, looking very happy to see them again. Among these people, Wang Zhe has the highest military rank, and the rest of the instructors and district captains are all lieutenant colonels or majors, Wang Xinggang is now a lieutenant colonel, and some instructors, especially the students who are familiar with Wang Xinggang in the training ground not far away, all show envious eyes.
Shang Zhen came to the tent and pulled Song Zhewu to sit down behind the table in the middle of the front row, Wang Zhe did Shang Zhen's right hand, and everyone else found their own places to sit down.
Shang Zhen asked Wang Zhe: "What is the next drill subject?" You can continue the walkthrough. Wang Zhe replied: "It is the offensive and defensive drill of the third district team and the fourth district team. After Shang Zhen signaled that it was okay to start, Gu Xiongyi and the captain of the fourth district returned to their respective teams and led the team away. With the order of the drill commander instructor, the signal corpsman issued the signal for the start of the drill, and the drill officially began.
The 3rd Sector team defended a 100-meter-high hill to the right of the drill field, with the 4th Sector team acting as the attacker. The attacking troops, in cooperation with three 92 infantry guns, launched an attack. First of all, three 92 infantry guns simulated firing at the target area for 10 minutes, during the shelling, the captain of the fourth district led the fourth district team to move to 200 meters away from the shelling area, and after the artillery fire began to extend the shooting, the whole team began to charge in a straggler formation, at this time everyone on the stage picked up the telescope to observe, Song Zhewu took Chu Feng handed his baby Zeiss also began to observe.
Although the charging side charged in a straggler formation, it was obvious that the shock formation was divided into three waves, which was a typical pig-stud attack formation. In the soldiers' leap assault, it can be seen that the quality of the individual soldiers is very good, and the route selection in the charge is also good, but there is obviously no cooperation between them. Although there is also a machine gun suppression cover, there is no mutual coordination and alternate cover and fire suppression in the charging queue.
The 3rd District Brigade dug a cannon hole in the trenches, leaving only one platoon in the front line, and the brigade defended the artillery in the back mountain, so the casualties of the first shelling were not large, but it was judged that part of the trenches were destroyed and a small number of casualties were lost. As soon as the artillery fire was extended, the team in the back mountain immediately rushed to the top of the mountain, during which although it was attacked by artillery fire, the brigade still quickly reached the trench, and at this time, the attacker was still more than 60 meters away from the top of the mountain. In the ensuing firefight, the 3rd Sector took advantage of the favorable terrain and deployed firepower, giving the attacking side a huge blow, and soon, the 4th Sector was judged to have lost the attack, and after the 4th Sector withdrew 100 meters, three 92 infantry guns began to fire again to cover the retreat of the infantry. After the exercise, it was judged that the 4th District Team suffered heavy casualties and failed to attack. The 3rd sector team defended successfully, but also suffered heavy losses, mainly due to damage in two shelling.
After listening to the assessment, Shang Zhen thought that this result was normal, in this case, the attacker would only finally occupy the position by taking advantage of the numerical advantage, attacking multiple times, and consuming the opponent's personnel. However, Shang Zhen still wanted to hear Song Zhewu's opinion, if Song Zhewu could have a better way to occupy the position at a slightly smaller cost, then it would show that Song Zhewu could not only train troops, but also really know how to fight, and was an excellent military talent, at least he had no better way now.
Shang Zhen smiled and said: "Wen Ge, Li Bai said it well, 'I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.'" "This offensive and defensive drill is judged by you, an outsider." ”
