Chapter 518: Military Parade
"Brother Ye, it's almost time now, if there is no change, the room will also be opened. Look, are we talking while eating? Looking at the darkening sky and smelling the fragrance of rice wafting from the direction of the room, Liu Hua reminded..."In Taiyuan, you are the master, and I will listen to you." Let's go to dinner and talk while eating. I still have a lot of questions, I haven't asked them clearly, you kid, don't think about running away, if you don't make it clear to me today, don't think about resting..."
The two-day period passed quickly, and the Taiyuan military parade, which everyone had attracted attention and looked forward to, was to be held today. After a day's hard work and preparation yesterday, a huge rostrum has been built on the training ground outside Taiyuan City... According to the military parade mode and style of later generations, in the sound of Liu Hua's order, on the huge rostrum, there are nearly 100 acts for the heads of the Central Committee and the representatives of all parties invited to participate in the parade... And in front of the rostrum, there is a road with a width of ten meters and a length of one kilometer, which has been very smooth and solid by the soldiers. On the other side of the road, the huge training ground was also marked out of white lime by the soldiers into dozens of rectangular squares for the commanders and fighters participating in the parade to stand... Passing through the huge venue, at the back of the entire venue, is the audience seat of ordinary people... Early in the morning, just after dawn, the troops of a regiment of the guard brigade entered the huge parade ground with loaded guns and ammunition. A soldier, like a sculpture, stands on the ground as steadily as Mount Tai, responsible for guarding... And more fighters have set up a cordon between the viewing area of ordinary people and the troop stay area to prevent possible accidents... As the cordon was pulled up, a soldier in charge of the guard entered his position, and the people who rushed to hear the news, after passing the security check of the soldiers, had gathered in the viewing area, quietly waiting for the start of the parade. Not only in half an hour, tens of thousands of ordinary people gathered in the viewing area, ready to watch the first military parade in their lives. At the same time, the troops selected to participate in the parade also shouted bursts of slogans, lined up in neat queues, and one infantry phalanx after another entered the huge venue, and then stood in their own positions... In less than an hour, the venue with a radius of several kilometers was covered with all kinds of neat squares. A soldier, carrying his own weapons on his back, like a sculpture, stood there motionless....while the artillery, tank, and air defense units participated in the parade. The shock and cheers of the surrounding people also pushed the exhibition equipment to the venue..."Report the chairman, the leaders, the delegates. The parade has been prepared and can start at any time...."Seeing that all the troops participating in the battle were in place, the entire venue was crowded with people who rushed to hear the news, and as for some of the leopard radio stations specially invited, even more than a dozen foreign newspapers, they all took their positions. Liu Hua, as the commander-in-chief of the entire military parade, came to the backstage and reported loudly to the chairman and more than 100 delegates in front of him..."Okay, the military parade we are waiting for can finally begin... Comrades, deputies, let's set off now, the military parade is about to begin..."With a wave of his hand, the chairman took more than 100 leaders and delegates who were invited to participate in the military and walked the first to the rostrum not far away... With the chairman, the leaders and more than 100 deputies, all sat on their own seats on the rostrum, and the whole venue, under Liu Hua's special arrangement, immediately sounded the March of the Volunteers. Immediately, the salute that had already been arranged on the hill around the venue was fired into the sky with a roaring sound, announcing the beginning of the entire military parade..."The chairman of the report, the leaders, the deputies, and the commander-in-chief of the parade, Liu Hua, were ordered to come to report that all the troops participating in the parade were ready, and the chairman and the leaders were invited to review...."In the sound of the salute, Liu Hua stood on an open-top jeep and slowly stopped in front of the rostrum. Then, he saluted to the rostrum and reported loudly..."Very well, now I order, the parade will begin now...", the chairman replied. Then, he slowly walked down the rostrum, boarded a specially prepared open-top jeep, and slowly drove to the first infantry phalanx not far away that was ready to be reviewed..."Hello comrades...."Coming to the front of the first phalanx, just as the car had just turned, an infantry phalanx, hundreds of commanders and fighters, under the command of the commander, immediately began to salute. And the chairman, who was standing in the jeep, looked at the soldiers who were standing in front of him, with an order, and their movements were uniform, standing on the ground without moving. Immediately, with his own strong voice, he shouted loudly at the more than 300 commanders and fighters of the first infantry phalanx, "Hello chief...."A earth-shattering roar quickly spread from the mouths of hundreds of soldiers of the first infantry phalanx to every corner of the entire venue....As the chairman's command vehicle slowly crossed the first phalanx, the soldiers of the first infantry phalanx, in the commander's "salute" command, put down their weapons in unison, and still stood there like sculptures, the whole process, without a little superfluous action. However, the second infantry phalanx, which was located next to the first phalanx, more than 300 soldiers, followed closely behind the first phalanx, and began to salute the chairman standing on the command car..."Comrades have worked hard..."Looking at the performance of the soldiers in front of him, the chairman nodded with satisfaction. Then, he waved his hand at the soldiers of the second phalanx, and continued to shout..."Serve the people..."Another earth-shattering roar came out of the mouths of the soldiers of the second phalanx....
"Hello comrades..."Hello chief...."..."Comrades have worked hard...""Serve the people...."....In this way, the earth-shattering slogan lasted for fifteen minutes, and the jeep in which the chairman was riding slowly drove to the last phalanx to be reviewed....As the last "serve the people" words just fell, the chairman returned to the rostrum with the jeep and sat back in his seat. However, from his radiant and flushed face, it can be clearly seen that in the review that has just been ten minutes old, the chairman is excited and shocked....
"Now for the second procedure of the military parade, Comrade Chairman is invited to give you a speech..."Liu Hua stood in front of the stage and said loudly..."Comrades, on this rostrum, I have nothing to say, because the shock you have given me is too great, and all of you are good. However, I have a sentence that I hold in my heart, and I must say it now. From the review of just ten minutes, I saw everyone's high morale, and saw everyone's perseverance, unity and cooperation... I am very relieved and proud to have a unit like yours here. I believe that in the future, China's national defense will have elite troops like yours, so why worry about militarist aggression. I believe that with the efforts and battles of all of you, it will be a matter of time before the aggressors are driven out of China, and I look forward to the arrival of this day. Comrade Liu Hua, please proceed to the next step..."The chairman said with a smile and returned to his seat... And at this moment, in the venue of the University, as the chairman's words just fell, there was a burst of roars... Although the chairman only spoke a few short sentences, every sentence was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and made the fighters' blood boil. Under the leadership of a famous commander, the entire venue immediately resounded with the slogan "Long live the Chinese nation, defeat the imperialism of the world..."....earth-shattering slogan....
"Comrade Chairman, Chiefs, Deputies, the second item of the parade is now the parade, the parade performance of the troops under parade..."As the roar slowly stopped, the commander-in-chief Liu Hua once again stood in front of the stage and ordered loudly....
Immediately, a loud March of the Volunteers sounded in the venue again. The First Infantry Phalanx, standing at the very edge of the entire venue, slowly walked in the direction of the rostrum with the commander's order. And at this moment, the entire rostrum, all the delegates stood up from their seats almost at the same time, ready to enjoy the most wonderful scene of the entire military parade, and to see the demeanor of the Eighth Route Army troops who have always been invincible in front of him... At the same time, all the journalists who were invited to participate in the parade also raised their various cameras in their hands for the first time and were ready to take pictures ... However, to everyone's surprise, the first infantry phalanx, 352 commanders and fighters, just as they marched to the right end of the rostrum, followed the order of the team leader, and stopped in place... However, in just a moment, another loud roar reached the ears of everyone in the venue, "Salute, walk .0... Immediately, more than 300 commanders and fighters, except for the two team leaders, quickly raised their right hands and saluted the rostrum in a standard posture. The remaining 350 commanders and fighters at the same time took off the rifles that were already loaded with bayonets on their backs and stood in front of them ... Suddenly, a flash of knife light, and the neat bayonet tips of 350 rows of handles appeared in everyone's eyes. At the same time, 350 commanders and fighters also followed closely behind the team leader and stepped neatly... Syllable... Suddenly, a neat and powerful footstep sound reached everyone's ears, constantly shaking the venue and everyone's hearts... With the neat infantry phalanx, slowly walked past the rostrum. The more than 100 delegates on the entire rostrum can be said to have different expressions... Those foreign reporters who were invited to participate in the military parade could be said to be stunned when they saw the shocking infantry phalanx in front of them, and they opened their mouths widely, not knowing how to express their excitement at this moment. Because he couldn't believe that in the backward and poor country of the East, there was such an elite and murderous army. What's even more successful is that this unit is not a Central Army unit directly commanded by the Kuomintang Central Political Axe, but a unit of the Eighth Route Army that has been commanded by [***] and has always been poorly equipped... As for the foreign military attaches and ambassadors who were invited, they also looked at the high-morale infantry phalanx in front of them with shocked expressions. However, at this moment, their hearts are indeed replaced by two different states of mind: surprise and worry. Because of the continuous supply of aid materials from our own country, after equipping the Central Army troops under the command of the Kuomintang Central Political Axe, not only did they not achieve any great results, but more importantly, under the fierce blows of the Yue army, they continued to retreat, which eventually led to the fall of half of the country, and the arrogance of the Yue army became more and more arrogant day by day.
The troops of the Eighth Route Army in front of them, without the support of the central political axe, only relied on their own ability, facing the encirclement and interception of a large number of Japanese troops, but they had such an elite force. If you suggest that your own country should tilt the materials for aiding China towards the Eighth Route Army, and equip all kinds of advanced weapons with this Eighth Route Army unit as much as possible. Obviously, this army will become an elite division that even the Yue army cannot defeat....and if this elite Eighth Route Army can defeat the Yue army and drag all the Yue army on the Chinese battlefield, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to their own country... Thinking of this, these reporters and military attaches immediately raised their spirits and began to observe the neat and majestic infantry phalanxes that were constantly passing in front of the rostrum, preparing to give the most accurate information to the country through their own observations... On the rostrum, the leaders sitting in the center, the heads of the various military divisions who insisted on participating in the parade, and the commanders of the three main divisions. Except for the chairman's heart, because of the simplicity just now, there is a little foundation in his heart, the rest of the people, all with their own mouths, like those foreign reporters, were shocked by the high morale exuded by the infantry phalanx in front of them..."Chairman, it has always been said that the combat effectiveness of the reading division is very strong, and it is not until today that I really know how strong the combat effectiveness of the reading division is. At the same time, I also know what a real elite army looks like. Although, today it is only a queue performance that is performed. However, through the uniform pace in front of us, we can clearly see the high morale, adequate training, and unity spirit of this unit....In a word, as far as I know, this unit is definitely stronger than any other unit in the country..."Looking at the rostrum, stepping on the neat reorganization, the infantry phalanx slowly passed. Commander-in-Chief Zhu blushed, looked at the chairman beside him, and said excitedly..."Boss, I have the same feelings as you. I'm thinking now, in the hands of our [***], we now have such an elite army. In addition, half a year later, the entire North China region trained 500,000 troops. As for the hundreds of thousands of little devils in the North China garrison, it is really not enough for us to stuff our teeth. What's more, after driving away the little devils, we will have enough confidence when we compete for the Central Plains in the future..."Vice Chairman Zhou, who was on the other side of the chairman, also smiled and whispered... In an instant, a smile immediately appeared on the faces of several central leaders who heard Vice Chairman Zhou's words. Because they all know that after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, a battle with Chiang Kai-shek could not be avoided at all. And with so many elite soldiers in his hands, he [***], when the time comes, he will have the basis to compete with Chiang Kai-shek, and he will no longer be called a communist bandit by others....
However, at this moment, a sneer came from behind several people, and a representative who was invited over, looking at the neat phalanx in front of him, said to a few people around him: "What's this, fighting depends on the bravery of the soldiers and the advanced weapons, not these fancy shows." As long as I am given a certain amount of time, I can also train the troops like this in the shortest possible time..."
As soon as the deputy's words were finished, several deputies around him who didn't know much about military affairs immediately nodded appreciatively, kept sneering, and echoed to the deputies who had just spoken..."What do you know, a group of scholars who have never been a soldier..."Looking at the dozen or so deputies who kept sneering, a representative of the Jin Suijun wearing a lieutenant general's uniform couldn't help but stand up and said..."Who do you say is a scholar, although I don't understand..."Hearing the sarcastic voice of the lieutenant general of the Jin Suijun in front of him, The dozen or so deputies who had been sneering just now immediately quit, and their faces immediately changed, and then, pointing to the lieutenant general in front of them, asked with an unhappy face..."I'm talking about you." A real elite army is not to see the surface with the eyes, but to feel it with the eyes... As you just said, if you give a group of people, after half a month of training, you can walk such neatly and neatly. However, the troops you have trained will not have such high morale and murderous spirit at all. I can tell you plainly, from the bursts of murderous aura exposed by the hundreds of soldiers in front of him, it can be seen that every soldier in this army has the life of at least one little devil in his hands..."Looking at the dozen or so people with unhappy faces and no military common sense, the lieutenant general said without any hesitation...
