Laiyuan is located in the depths of Taihang Mountain, east of Laishui. Yi County, south of Tang County, Shunping, Fuping, north of Wei County, west of Shanxi Lingqiu.

Tianjin is 210 kilometers away from Laiyuan. Song Zhewu consciously regarded this long-distance march as a rare opportunity for long-distance training, and marched 80 miles every time, passing through Bazhou, Gaobeidian, and Yixian, all the way to the west. On the third day, after crossing the Bauhinia Pass, which is known as the third male pass in the world, it really left the Guangrou North China Plain and entered the Taihang Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles.

In July, the temperature in the Great Plain of North China is above 30 degrees Celsius under the scorching sun. However, since entering the mountains, the temperature has dropped significantly. On the hills on both sides of the road, there are not many tall trees, but low shrubs are all over the mountains and are lush. The bushes in the east and a group of unknown wildflowers in the west are filled with countless unknown wildflowers, and the cool mountain breeze is mixed with a strong smell of grass and trees, which is refreshing.

At this time, the sun was setting behind the mountains to the west, and the cool mountain breeze made the young soldiers who walked with relish, and if they were not marching, the young men would have already laughed and made noise.

Song Zhewu, Chu Feng, and Wang Xinggang rode in the middle of the team, and originally wanted to take care of Wang Xinggang and let him march in a car, but Wang Xinggang didn't do it alive or dead, so he had to ride with him. What Song Zhewu didn't expect was that Wang Xinggang's riding skills were even better than Chu Feng, who had been in the cavalry camp for more than a year. Both of them graduated from Yenching University, and they were familiar with each other when they were in school. Along the way, the two pointed at the scenery and customs of various places from time to time, talking about the past and the present, which made Song Zhewu envious.

Song Zhewu was a southerner in his previous life and was not very familiar with the scenery in the north. The two chatted about the world, which made Song Zhewu listen to it with relish. It was the first time that Song Zhewu knew from the conversation between the two that Taihang Mountain actually had a large shape mountain, another name for the Five Elements Mountain.

Along the way, Song Zhewu has been observing Wang Xinggang. Seeing Wang Xinggang's innocent and straightforward young man's surname, Song Zhewu was very suspicious that this Wang Xinggang was not the other Wang Xinggang. I tried to test it a few times, but I couldn't find a suitable topic. Song Zhewu saw that the young soldiers who had been on the road for a day were still full of energy, thought for a while, controlled the speed of the horse a little, and waited for Wang Xinggang and Chu Feng to follow.

"Xinggang, you have been in Beiping for a long time, and you can often see Chairman Shang, Zhang Yinwu and Bai Chongxi's team, how do you think our troops compare to them?"

Wang Xinggang saw Song Zhewu questioning, hurriedly lifted the reins to catch up with Song Zhewu's horse, and walked side by side with him. Without thinking, he replied: "Brigade seat, the morale of our troops is significantly higher than theirs." I've also seen the Northeast Army, but they can't compare to us. ”

"What do you think is the reason?" Song Zhewu looked at Wang Xinggang with interest.

Wang Xinggang thought for a moment and said: "In the past few days of contact with the troops, at first glance, it seems that the military salary is high, and there is no such thing as deduction. In addition, it is forbidden to beat and scold soldiers, although there are still individual phenomena that occur from time to time, but they are all good-natured and acceptable to soldiers. In fact, there is another point, which is the most important thing, which cannot be felt without close contact with the troops. That is, this team is very young, not only the army has been established for a short time, but all the people, including you, are very young. Young people are full of vigor and ideals, especially the officers below the regimental level in the army, almost all of them are selected from these soldiers who have joined the army, and no one has been promoted by improper means. They are all willing to learn the culture, hard training, and through their own efforts to be promoted and reused. This gives everyone in the unit, not only the soldiers, but also the commanders of squads, platoons, and even companies and battalions, a kind of upward hope, a hope that they and even their families will change their living conditions and status. ”

Song Zhewu looked at this young man who had only been in the army for a few days with some surprise, and he couldn't help but admit that his vision was vicious and he saw the problem very accurately. To be precise, it should be said that Shang Zhen's eyes are vicious.

Wang Xinggang saw Song Zhewu's eyes looking at him with appreciation, and continued: "In fact, our army still has a lot of potential for improvement. If a unit wants to be strong in combat, it must also have spirit and faith, which is usually called the military spirit. Our security brigade fought with Sun Chuanfang and the Northeast Army, and they all won. These two battles should be described as tough battles. It's all about having fewer enemies, not to mention that before that, the security brigade had never been on the battlefield. But we haven't fought a bad battle, and once the opponent's strength is too much stronger than ours, it's hard to say whether we can be undefeated. ”

"You're right." Song Zhewu interrupted Wang Xinggang's words at the right time, and he can now be 100% sure that this Wang Xinggang is the other Wang Xinggang. If you continue to talk about it, the political stance will be unmistakable. What is a young man, Song Zhewu said secretly in his heart.

"Xinggang, that's why I want to set up a political training office in the army, and that's the purpose. You should get a good grasp of compiling the outline of political training, the purpose of which is patriotic education. We can talk more about our national heroes, and we can also talk about the history of our Chinese nation being oppressed by foreign peoples. ”

Wang Xinggang was a little unsatisfied: "Brigade seat, but now we only have warlords fighting for power and profit, and there is no foreign invasion, so it is not very suitable to talk about this." ”

"Now there is no warlord civil war, the warlords have all been beaten by the revolutionary army, only Zhang Xueliang in the Northeast remains, as far as I know, Zhang Shaoshuai is very patriotic, and it is a matter of time before the Northeast changes banners." Song Zhewu thought about it, felt that he still had to give him a wake-up, and then said: "Who is a warlord in the end, and whether a warlord is fighting for power and profit, these are all left to history to evaluate. Your political training office will do what I say. ”

Wang Xinggang nodded thoughtfully, and asked a little unwillingly: "Political training materials, can you talk about the 'Shaji tragedy' in Guangzhou, 'Wuxi' in Shanghai, and 'May Fourth' against Yuan Shikai?" ”

"Yes." Song Zhewu also wanted to continue to talk about the necessary surnames of these. Ye Changgui hit his horse and ran over: "Brigade commander, the front is Yangjiazhuang, and it is still 50 miles away from Laiyuan, are we camping here tonight?" ”

"Okay, let the brethren rest well tonight, and tomorrow we will enter the source of spirit."

Ye Changgui agreed, and ran to the front to arrange camping.

Yangjiazhuang is a large village with more than 200 households, one side of the mountain, one side of the river, the highway from the front of the river to the river. When Song Zhewu and the others entered the village, Ye Changgui was arranging arming with several company commanders.

"A company, stationed in front of Zhuang, send a platoon to garrison the small high ground on the left side of Zhuangqian, equipped with your two heavy machine guns. The rest of the personnel made a frontal defense in front of the village. The second company, with four heavy machine guns, went to the mountain behind Zhuanghou to deploy defenses. The third company is responsible for the river and the direction of the source. The rest of the machine gun company and the fourth company defended the shonai. ”

Ye Changgui saw Song Zhewu nodded, and waved his hand: "Execute it immediately" Several company commanders hurriedly ran to arrange the arming.

Song Zhewu took Chu Feng, Wang Xinggang and his guard class and Ye Changgui's battalion headquarters to live in the only landlord's house in the village. The landlord's family wanted to give up the main house for Song Zhewu and them to live in, and Song Zhewu comforted him for a long time before taking Ye Changgui and others to settle down in the wings on both sides. Wang Xinggang just watched silently, and after eating, he went into the room assigned to him and Chu Feng and never came out.
