Chapter 52: Observation
"My lord, Wu Sangui is waiting outside the door, he applied to go to the forward combat camp to observe, but the Discipline Department did not agree, he went to find Lord Huang Side first, Lord Huang also refused, and came to see Lord Huang again."
Chen Xin put down the pen in his hand and asked the adjutant in front of him, "What is the reason for the disagreement of the Discipline Division?" ”
"One is that the front-line battle is easy to hurt Wu Sangui, although he has told them that it is dangerous, but if something happens, it is difficult for Liaozhen to explain, and secondly, Lord Huang thinks that tactics will be learned by Liaozhen."
Chen Xin thought for a moment and said, "You let him in." ”
After a while, Wu Sangui came to Chen Xin's big tent, with a hint of arrogance on his fair face, and the scar on his nose increased his masculinity, "Lord Chen, after the lower official came to southern Liaoning, he has been accompanied by the officers designated by the Discipline and Guidance Department, just to watch the march and drill of the Dengzhou army from a distance, and his subordinates want to go to the battle camp to have a look. ”
Chen Xin looked at Wu Sangui and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate if you want to go to the front line." ”
Wu Sangui was about to speak as soon as he raised his hand, but Chen Xin raised his hand and interrupted: "Uncle Chang, young hero, is naturally not afraid, but you are not going into battle to kill the enemy in this trip, and Lord Wu and Master Zu both value you very much, so it is reasonable for the Discipline Department to have this concern." ”
Wu Sangui showed a look of disappointment on his face, he came to southern Liaoning to see how the real Dengzhou soldiers trained and fought, and found him all the way, Chen Xin was already the highest decision-maker in Dengzhou Town, if he still didn't agree, he could only do what the Discipline Department requested.
Chen Xin smiled slightly and said: "However, you can go to see the training of soldiers on the spot, but some requirements must be done according to what the accompanying officers of the Training and Guidance Department say." The first is that you must obey orders in the army, and the second is that you must not interfere with the command of the officers of our town. Third, you must return to the Chinese army when you fight. Would you like to? ”
Wu Sangui's demeanor resurfaced again, and he excitedly arched his hand and said, "The lower officials are all willing, thank you Lord Chen." ”
Chen Xin took the brush and wrote a warrant, and then handed it to Wu Sangui, "Give this to the adjutant outside the door, and ask him to take you to Huang Side to arrange." ”
Wu Sangui took it and bowed again, and after going out, he unfolded the warrant and glanced at it, "Let Wu Sangui go to the second battalion of the guards to observe, and the rest will still be strictly enforced according to the rules of observers." ”……
"Observer Wu Sangui. Today you are going to enter the camp to observe, you are the first observer to enter the camp with the army to observe, according to the requirements of the Department of Discipline and Guidance, there must be no other military uniforms in the army, starting today you must change to wear the Dengzhou military uniform, accompanied by the Department of Discipline and Guidance Ren Guizanhua guerrilla Master Zhang, with the second battalion of the guards, until the end of this observation. ”
Wu Sangui nodded with his hands behind his back, and the Guards training officer opposite said loudly: "Stand up." Answer 'Yes'! ”
Wu Sangui's heart was on fire, but thinking that this opportunity was not easy to come by, he held back his anger and stood up straight and agreed: "Yes." ”
"Answer loudly, shortly, and forcefully, not like a."
The officer turned to one of the accompanying pacifiers next to him. "Zhang Yougui!"
The soldier howled hoarsely, "Here! ”
The officer said to Wu Sangui: "That's what it looks like!" ”
Wu Sangui was startled by the soldier's howl, he only thought that this kind of rule was very ridiculous, but people were under the roof. Wu Sangui had no choice but to follow the study a few times, and finally met the requirements of the training officer. Then he took over a set of Dengzhou military uniforms, and after wearing the short clothes on his body, he felt much more energetic than the long battle jacket.
"It starts today. You were accompanied by Zhang Yougui, a soldier of the town, and entered the 2,000 headquarters of the second battalion of the guards to observe, the second battalion of the guards had repelled the slave chieftains to 5,000 troops in Caohe Fort with 400 people, and there were three people who won the highest medal in Dengzhou, and the battalion officer Zhong Caisheng had killed the three major Beile Mang Gurtai of Jiannu at Zhubokou, and Zhu Feng, the deputy battalion officer and the commander of the 2,000 headquarters, was the commanding officer of the battle of Caohebao, and the rest of the officers had also fought for many years, eighty percent of the soldiers had literacy certificates, and they were all warriors of Dengzhou Town, and you wore the military uniform of Dengzhou Town today, and wore the armband of the second battalion of the guards. is a member of the second battalion, I hope you don't disgrace the second battalion. ”
After the officer finished speaking, he left, Wu Sangui was a little weak in his heart after hearing it, because Caohe Fort and Zhubokou were famous in the two battles, Zhu Feng had not heard of it much, but Zhong Caisheng's name was like thunder, although he was very conceited, but he still had a kind of admiration when he heard Zhong Laosi's name.
Wu Sangui touched the big turned military uniform on his body, and after tying the belt, he looked very powerful, and there was a strange feeling in his heart.
Zhang Yougui, who accompanied him, came over and said loudly: "Observer Wu, there is combat training for soldiers today, you can see it quickly." ”
"Let's go!" ……
On the west side of the vortex, the 2nd Guards Battalion has just completed an oblique queue exercise, and each company has conducted a summary and evaluation after training. The Dengzhou Army is already the training mode of the modern army, and the soldiers maintain daily training, just like the standing army in Europe at this time, even in the interval between battles, they also take time to train to maintain the discipline and state of the army.
"Everyone keep in mind today's process, when our thousand headquarters are used as a strong flank, we should take the company horizontal team as the front, the four companies of the thousand headquarters as the column to meet the enemy first, and the other two thousand headquarters to meet the enemy in a horizontal team, after our thousand headquarters defeat the enemy in front of them, still move in columns, if there is no strong reserve behind the enemy's front, then carry out a flank attack along the enemy's line, and if the enemy brigade reserve is encountered, the column will be deployed as a horizontal force to fight, and give full play to the firepower...... The most important thing is the first salvo, the officer is not allowed to shoot before the order, Lao Tzu did not call shooting, even if there is a turtle next to you who hits by mistake, you can't fight, otherwise Lao Tzu's military law will not recognize people......"
Tang Wei's company sat on the ground in a circle, listening to the company commander's explanation, Tang Wei felt a little bored, and used small stones to draw graphics on the ground, he thought that these command things, as long as the officers above the flag captain understood, had little to do with the soldiers, he only needed to carry out the officer's orders or orders. There was a strange young officer standing next to the company commander, and there seemed to be a guard, Tang Wei hadn't seen it, but he didn't care, he didn't know many staff officers at the battalion headquarters.
"Private Tang Wei!" Suddenly there was a loud shout.
Tang Wei reflexively jumped up and stood upright, "Here!" ”
Brother Guan walked over happily, "Take a break." ”
Tang Wei exhaled. Put on a smiling face and said, "Sergeant Guan, why are you so happy." ”
Brother Guan said in a low voice: "Zhong Laosi told me. He has already submitted a list of recommendations to the Department of Military Affairs, and Li Donghua said that this will be the end of the war. At least I'll be the flag captain by then. ”
Tang Wei's face was full of joy, "Congratulations to the eldest brother." ”
"You have to make meritorious service this time, your literacy and arithmetic are good, and it is certain that you will become an officer in the future."
Tang Wei scratched his head, "I, I am not an officer, my family is a baby, if I die, there will be no one to support my parents." ”
Brother Guan looked at Tang Wei and said regretfully: "That's a pity, but you can divide the land in Liaozhong." Then you can take your father and mother over. ”
"I don't know the land, my father and mother definitely don't want to come to Liaodong, my family has been in Aoshanwei for many generations, so I will go home to do some small business."
Brother Guan patted Tang Wei on the shoulder, "Then after the battle, you should go back to Aoshanwei, my family may be in Liaodong in the future, I don't know how long it will take to see each other, thank you for helping me pass the literacy test." ”
Tang Wei was surprised when he heard this: "Your whole family is coming to Liaodong?" ”
"No, the younger brother said that Liaodong has a large population. Later, he will move a lot of tun households, and he is going to bring my mother to Liaodong together, my mother is here, and I have to come with me. In the future, when I was discharged from the army, I farmed the land and sent my mother to the end. ”
"Maybe my little sister will have to come along."
"This, this, um. Actually, I can also come to Liaodong, big brother, you see. The two of us hit it off at first sight, and I've been one since I was a child. There is a brother and a sister who are not alive, I see the eldest brother and you, I feel very close, and you will be my eldest brother in the future. ”
Brother Guan laughed and patted Tang Wei on the shoulder, "I also feel that I am close to you, and I will recognize you as a brother in the future, and we are not allowed to worship in the army, and we will worship again after we retire from the army in the future." ”
Tang Wei agreed, laughed for a while, and then said tentatively: "Guan Xiaomei didn't say that she was going to be transferred to Liaodong, I don't know if it's there, when this time is fighting, she should stay in Dengzhou to be more stable, I don't know what the Military Affairs Department thinks." ”
"Here, I've just seen it at the camp gate, and we'll watch their troupe perform in the afternoon."
"Ahh That's great! ”……
"Dad, don't die!"
Guan Xiaomei on the stage threw herself next to a white-haired old man and cried, and a few Tartars who looked like Houjin soldiers came over, and one of them laughed and said: "Why does a Nikan eat my Dajin's grain, it's just right to die, and I'm going to eat his meat today." ”
A Tartar soldier next to him said loudly: "Master, this old one is not delicious, and the little lady's meat is more tender." ”
"Lao Tzu day your mother!" A strong man jumped up from among the soldiers sitting in a row below, and was about to rush to the top of the stage, but the two orderly guards quickly grabbed him, shouted at him, and made him sit down again.
The audience was slightly chaotic, Tang Wei was stunned, staring intently at Guan Xiaomei on the stage.
Xie Fei's voice said beside him: "Fatty, now the pacification is more effective than before, if it had been like this earlier, the two of us would not have been beaten so much." ”
"It's so beautiful!" Tang Wei muttered.
Xie Fei glanced at Tang Wei and shook his head, "Idiot." ”
The audience continued to scold, especially the young soldiers were the most excited, constantly sounding various slogans, the stage was staged by the people who were taken captive in Beizhili, because of the necessary exaggeration in the propaganda, especially the ugliness of Jiannu, Tang Wei was born in the propaganda team, he was very familiar with these methods, and his energy was not watching the play at all.
The drama was soon finished, the people who were taken captive ended miserably, the soldiers at the scene were surging, the instructor led the soldiers to shout slogans, Tang Wei followed and raised his fist a few times, his eyes were still searching for Guan Xiaomei on the stage.
When the agitation was finally over, the companies were ready to be brought back to the station. Their camp was on the west side of the official road, about three miles away from the vortex shop, and the troupe's performances took place in the camp, so the soldiers did not have to walk far.
When Liu Liu ordered the queue, Tang Wei saw Brother Guan walking towards the back of the stage, and immediately said loudly: "Report!" ”
"Say."
"I want to take a leave of absence for half an hour."
"Reason."
Tang Wei raised his head and said: "There are my former comrades-in-arms in the troupe, and I want to go and see him." ”
Liu Liu thought for a while and agreed, Tang Wei knew Liu Liu very clearly, this flag captain from the Dongjiang Army valued comradeship the most, and it was best to ask for leave for this reason.
Tang Wei immediately rushed to the backstage of the troupe, and when he arrived outside the actor's tent, he heard the voice of Brother Guan inside, "Little sister, when I set off from Jinzhou, my mother sent a letter saying that the Xu family came to propose marriage. (To be continued......)
