Chapter 211: The First Battle of the People's Liberation Army 4
Decades later, Huang Bochang's grandson, Huang Lei, a doctor of history, once asked his grandfather a question, "What is the difference between the Manchu army and the Ming army?" ”
Answering this question, 89-year-old Huang Bochang said: "The Manchu army was relatively afraid to die, and the Ming army was relatively afraid to die. 【Reading.com】|"
Dr. Huang Lei, who is highly educated, felt a subtle, huge arrogance from his grandfather's answer. In the eyes of this veteran soldier who has fought all his life, whether it is the Manchu army or the Ming army, when facing him, it seems that there is only one result: death. The difference is only that those who dare to die and those who dare not die.
Huang Lei felt that Huang Bochang's answer was a kind of military arrogance, and Huang Bochang himself did not feel this way. He is not only a professional soldier, but also a disciple of Wang Shuhui. Therefore, whether it is his language style or his habits of thinking, he has always been realistic.
Let's say now, for example. After Huang Bochang led a large group of soldiers of the People's Liberation Army to confront the troops of the investigation team for a while, he found that the other side did not defend in formation, did not carry out a surprise charge, and did not turn around and retreat immediately, but was in a state of confusion from top to bottom.
Under these conditions, Huang Bochang immediately ordered the troops to advance.
To the beat of the small drum, three rows of soldiers of the 1st Brigade of the People's Liberation Army, led by their respective officers, began to step on the drum beat.
It's a terrible move. Seeing the "rebels" marching towards him with great vigour, Chen Jianye made a subconscious move. As soon as he turned around, he ran from the front of the formation to the position of his carriage in the formation.
One of the main differences between the feudal army and the modern army is that the organization of the modern army relies on discipline, while the organization of the ancient feudal army depends on the morale of the troops in large part. That is, the psychological condition of the soldiers of the feudal army was very important.
Chen Jianye is a useless straw bale. His cowardly performance in front of the battle gave the soldiers a psychological hint that the main general/general would flee. Under this psychological suggestion, before Chen Jianye could run back to his carriage, more than a thousand rookie soldiers collapsed. As soon as they left their weapons (more than a thousand spears looted from various guards), they turned their heads, and then began to run backwards.
Unlike the People's Liberation Army, the more than 1,000 members of the investigation team came out of the valley in a column. Naturally, the current state of this force is a column situation.
Because the investigation team did not have a clear command system at all, the soldiers in the front of the platoon began to turn around and run back, just face to face with the soldiers in the back of the platoon. And the soldiers in the back didn't know what was going on in front of the formation, why these people ran back in a panic.
But there's a saying. When a tiger is chasing a crowd, you don't have to be the fastest runner, as long as you run faster than the people around you.
Nowhere is this more evident than in a rotten army. I found that the soldiers in front of me began to run backwards, and the soldiers behind didn't care what was going on, so they immediately learned and scattered.
In this way, before the PLA could react to what was going on, the two forces had not yet made contact in any sense, and it was only less than ten steps forward that the RPA had taken less than ten paces before the investigation team under the command of the rookie collapsed.
Huang Bochang is a little difficult to accept reality. To be honest, he never thought he would see such a ridiculous scene. Not to mention Huang Bochang, several staff officers around Huang Bochang are looking at each other. Instead, a young staff assistant who had been promoted from the People's Army gently reminded a few people: "Teachers, should we pursue the enemy?" ”
If the enemy collapses, then everyone will naturally pursue the enemy. It was just a pause for a minute or so. Huang Bochang ordered the troops to run forward.
The so-called line tactics are very particular about the tightness and rigor of the queue. Therefore, even in the process of pursuit, the first brigade of the People's Liberation Army had to set up and sort out the formation every time it ran a short distance, and every time it ran a short distance, it had to set up and sort out the formation again.
In order to ensure the neatness and safety of the team, it is impossible to sacrifice speed to a certain extent.
However, this does not mean that the People's Defence Army must watch the investigation team run away like that. After all, even if they run away, they are actually in the process of throwing themselves into the net. Because the second brigade of the People's Republic of China was waiting for them at the entrance of the valley early.
Lu Yuanhao, 21, is the third batch of Wang Shuhui's students. By the time he joined the Renaissance Society, the Ba'ath Army had already been formed. It was at this time that he joined the very professional Renaissance Army.
Lu Yuanhao was born in an Orion family, and he very much agrees with the ideology and theory of the Renaissance Society. However, in addition to the two books that introduce historical materialism and dialectical materialism, "All Ages Return to the One" and "The Law of the Unification of All Things", his favorite is another book by Mr. Wang Shuhui, "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution".
Wang Shuhui was a social Darwinist during his reading days. For a period of time, Wang Shuhui's ideology was influenced by this ideology that gave birth to Nazism. Therefore, naturally, in the process of compiling "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" and introducing Darwinism, Wang Shuhui showed a certain tendency towards social Darwinism in the book.
Different people will have different ideas when they read the same book.
So many people in the revival have read this book, but only a few people are really fascinated by the social Darwinism shown in the book. Lu Yuanhao, who was born in this Orion family, is one of them.
Militarist ideology has a certain influence in the revival army, and this cannot be said to be all caused by this "Theory of Heavenly Evolution". Nor can it be said that it is advocated by Lu Yuanhao's few officers who have immature and embryonic militarist ideas. After all, in the Baath Army, the practice of training in the form of confrontation and elimination, and the contemptuous treatment of losers, on the one hand, effectively increased the training enthusiasm of the soldiers, but the side effect was that the militarist ideology under social Darwinism began to spread among the troops.
Lu Yuanhao was known for his harshness in the revival army. Whether he was a commander or a staff officer, he often said that "failure is a disgrace, and the loser has no right to live" and other words full of militaristic flavor. He was even warned twice for being too cruel to the soldiers.
Of all the officers of the Ba'ath Army, he was complained about the most by soldiers. In the democratic life meeting, his popular grievances are the greatest.
After Lu Yuanhao arrived at the People's Army, he could be regarded as having a place to use. In the People's Army, his harsh and cruel style is like a fish in water.
It's also interesting to say. Among the eight military cadres of the Renaissance Society, Lu Yuanhao was the one who could win the trust of soldiers and grassroots officers the most. They not only admired but were also convinced by Lu Yuanhao's harsh and cruel methods
