When they walked out of the Pingdu Prefecture training base, there were a large number of teenagers at the door, and Mr. Bai, who was on duty at the camp gate, explained loudly to them: "This group of young soldiers is not recruited in Pingdu, mainly in Wendeng and Laiyang. ”

One of the leading teenagers said loudly: "I see that there are only about 1,000 people, and there are still two or three thousand short of a battalion, why don't you recruit us, and our Pingdu Tunbao School is no worse than them." ”

The teenagers clamored one after another, and the voice of the hundred presidents was suddenly drowned out. Soon a general manager came out of the door, this person was five big and three thick, and his voice shocked those teenagers.

"What the hell is going on, it's not up to our base to decide where to recruit troops, it's determined by the Dengzhou Mobilization Division, even if Lao Tzu promises you, it doesn't count, if you have the ability, you can go to Dengzhou to make trouble."

Those teenagers were quiet for a while, and the teenager who took the lead really discussed with the people around him and was going to Dengzhou to find the mobilization department. Li Donghua, the director, is here, and Chen Xin is also next to him, of course, he can't be regarded as not seeing it.

Li Donghua walked out and said to those teenagers: "Little brothers, this time we only recruited more than 1,000 people, just to make up for the original shortage of 1,000 headquarters in the second battalion of the guards, and to supplement some losses from the spring offensive, so the number of troops is already full." If you really want to be a soldier, you can wait for the next time the 3rd Guards Battalion......"

"No, we will enter the second battalion, I will enter the second battalion of the guards, and follow Lord Zhong and Zhu Feng to kill the Tartars."

"That is, we only went to the second battalion of the guards, and none of the other battalions went."

The Caohe First Battle of the Second Guards Battalion shocked the whole army, and even the first Guards Battalion, which was the most elite in the past, was also impressed by them, and Zhu Feng was still recuperating. But having been promoted to deputy battalion officer, it was only a matter of time before he was transferred to a new battalion officer. If it weren't for Chen Xin's deliberate retention of him as the banner of the Youth Army in the Guards. This expansion will be transferred to the ninth battalion officer.

With the publication of a documentary article in the military newspaper, the fame of the 2nd Guards Battalion spread throughout Denglai. And spread along the trade route along the canal. The Dengzhou military newspaper has been widely spread, because Dengzhou Town still maintains the last superficial relationship with the imperial court, so the military newspaper did not use the number of the second battalion of the guards, and followed the Dengzhou Zheng barracks, in order to deepen the invincible image of the Denglai army. But in the propaganda within Denglai, most people knew that it was the 2nd Guards Battalion.

Li Donghua shouted, "Shut up to Lao Tzu, you can't afford to be an inn restaurant in Dengzhou Town, so you have to choose randomly?" Be a soldier. The first is to obey orders and go wherever you are arranged. ”

Li Donghua had a red star painted on his helmet, these student soldiers had all received reserve training, and they knew that it was a person at the level of a battalion officer, although it was not clear what it was, but it must be a senior officer, and a group of students all quieted down.

Chen Xin walked over and raised his hand to the students and said, "All young talents are willing to join the army and join my Dengzhou Town, we welcome them very much. But the Mobilization Department must recruit according to the plan, but I promise you. In the future, we will have enough troops to recruit you, and we will certainly live up to your enthusiasm. ”

The group of student soldiers had never seen Chen Xin, and they didn't know where it was sacred when they saw that there was no mark on his soft military hat. But he can speak directly past the battalion officer, and he must also be a high-ranking officer.

The student who began to lead said respectfully, "This lord, we have all been trained. Muskets and spears were used. After reading the military report on the battle of Caohebao, I couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go to Liaodong to fight Tartars. Recover the mountains and rivers of my Han family, please help us with the items. Persuade the Mobilization Department to start recruiting the next batch of reservists as soon as possible, and if it is too late, the Tartars will be gone. ”

The group of students below nodded their heads with anticipation on their faces. Chen Xin said to them gently: "Everyone's intentions and officials have understood, and there will definitely be a recruitment." It doesn't matter if the Tartars are gone, we must also exterminate the Liukou, return the peace of the mountains and rivers of China, and let all compatriots live a good life like Dengzhou. ”

The students below applauded and cheered, Chen Xin said loudly, waved his hand and said loudly: "But that's not all, you are all from Tunpu School and Vocational School, you should know that this world is very big, and there are vast lands and seas waiting for you to conquer." Thank you for your willingness to become soldiers, the army is a glorious profession, soldiers are no longer lowly and low-level broken military households, any government that despises the honor of the army will be abandoned by history, today this official wants to say, Dengzhou Town will always need enthusiastic young people and warriors, and China also needs your enthusiasm. ”

The student in the lead shouted excitedly: "For Dengzhou Town!" ”

"Long live Dengzhou Town!"

"Long live Dengzhou Town! Long live Chen Dashuai! ”

There was an enthusiastic response from the students, all of whom were slogans of great rebellion. Li Donghua and Liu Pojun were expressionless when they heard it, and only occasionally peeked at Chen Xin's face. In the past, someone in Dengzhou martial arts had shouted similar slogans, and was specially sent by the Discipline Department to talk alone, Huang Side would not suppress this kind of thinking, the only explanation was Chen Xin's meaning, so although the two knew some of Chen Xin's ambitions, they never said it publicly. But looking at Chen Xin's current meaning, he no longer suppresses Denglai's trend of thought.

After the warm atmosphere, Chen Xin had a brief conversation with the students in the front row, and then left with Li Donghua and Liu Pojun, who were still at the gate of the base and did not disperse.

After a few people walked for a while, Chen Xincai said to Li Donghua: "With them, why worry that Dengzhou Town is not strong, after fighting Tartar this year, we must continue to expand the guard battalion." ”

"My subordinates understand." Li Donghua agreed in a low voice, "Judging from the feedback from the battalions, the source of soldiers recruited last year was indeed much better than when we were in Weihai, and the training time of the first program can be shortened by three percent, and the Military Affairs Department is preparing to adjust the training program." ”

Chen Xin laughed happily a few times, and Liu Pojun next to him also said: "That's true, I talked to Zhong Caisheng and Zhu Feng before I came back, and they all thought that the soldiers of the second battalion of the guards were the best, and whether it was skills, physical qualities or discipline, they were all incomparable to the previous Tunhu soldiers." Especially Zhong Caisheng, he has been in the army since the establishment of our Weihai army, and he feels the changes most deeply, he thinks that my Dengzhou Town has surpassed Qi Shaobao's Qi family army, but he doesn't understand the reason. ”

Chen Xin snorted, stopped and stood quietly for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, it is reasonable for Zhong Laosi to say that he is not clear, if it is for this official." Many of Dengzhou's military training methods are actually learned from Qi Shaobao, not that the official is stronger than Qi Shaobao. Dengzhou Town was able to surpass the Qi family's army. is because the Qi family's army is just an army, relying on Qi Shaobao's personal genius. Qi Shaobao lost power and was no longer what it was back then; However, my Dengzhou Town relies on a complete system, which cannot be changed by the ability of individuals, and the reason for this is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, but one thing that can be confirmed is that the civil system owned by the people is indispensable, and without perfect civil and education, there would be no Dengzhou Town today, and there will never be the second battalion of the guards of the Battle of Caohe. ”

Liu Pojun and the two said in unison: "My subordinates have been taught." ”

Chen Xin smiled and said, "Speaking of this second battalion of guards, what has Zhong Laosi been doing recently?" ”

Li Donghua hurriedly said: "Martial Arts has opened a branch in Jinzhou. Zhong Laosi went to the crash course there to strengthen the newly promoted middle-level officers, mainly teaching some recently supplemented martial arts courses. ”

"Oh?" Chen Xin said curiously, "Zhong Laosi can train the army, can he give a lecture?" ”

Liu Pojun said: "My subordinates have listened to a lecture from him, talking about the campaign-level deployment written by adults, although the language is vulgar, but the experience is very correct, and I can give some examples." He's still good. ”

Chen Xin smiled and said: "Then I have to listen to it in the future, and you must remember that the military thinking of martial arts cannot be suppressed, and no matter how peculiar the idea is, it can also be discussed and realized." What I wrote may not all be correct, and it is necessary for front-line officers like Zhong Laosi to continue to improve, and continuous progress is the confidence of my Dengzhou Town to never give up. ”……

"I'm talking about the importance of logistics in the campaign. This is true for us, and it is as true for the enemy. In the specific deployment of the campaign, the front of our army should effectively cover the traffic leading to the military station. The deployment of the flanks should try to threaten the enemy's frontal road to the local rear, which will make the enemy's stable front unexpectedly shaken, the method is very simple, sometimes just the flank direction is slightly tilted, you can achieve this purpose, such as Huang Taiji in the Battle of Caohe, Phoenix can be regarded as the left wing of our base, he can send troops to attack the flank Caohe Valley direction in advance, once Jiannu appears in Phoenix, in the case of unclear military information, it may cause Lao Tzu to waver in his decision, then there may not be his later defeat, Here everyone remembers a sentence from Lord Chen, the victory or defeat on the battlefield is made up of countless small things, and you don't know which one is decisive, so everything should not be taken lightly. ”

In the classroom of the first branch of martial arts in Jinzhou, Zhong Laosi stood on the podium and lectured to a group of newly promoted officers below with a male goose voice.

Zhong Laosi flipped through the information in his hand, this course was written by Chen Xin, Zhong Laosi was shocked when he first saw it, and now he feels that some can be changed, "When it comes to the flanks, we will talk about the direction of the operation, from any theater of operations, it can be divided into three parts: left, middle and right, that is, we often say the left and right wings and the middle army, everyone here, we are not the commander of the whole army, we may be in charge of a small front, but each small part can also be divided into left, center and right wings." Master Chen said that simple is the best, Lao Tzu has always been simple to fight, don't think about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, your mind is on this left, middle and right, the simplest idea on the battlefield is that one of these three directions must be beneficial to us and unfavorable to the enemy, find this direction, use tactical maneuver to strengthen the strength of this direction, this is what you need to think about when you are a commander on the battlefield......"

Zhong Laosi's voice came from afar, Brother Guan took a broom, stood in a daze under the flag platform outside the classroom, he was a little envious of those who could go in to listen to the class, although Zhong Laosi was his battalion officer, and the relationship was still very good, but it was impossible for Zhong Laosi to give him a lecture, Zhong Laosi did not have the time and patience, and there were other officers in the crash course to give lectures.

"Non-commissioned officer chief, it's already more than 300 words, learn a little more, and there will be hope for mentioning officers." Tang Wei's voice came from the side, they are here today to be on duty and cleaning in this temporary martial arts.

Brother Guan turned his head to look at the fat soldier and said with a smile: "You said why didn't you come earlier, you could pass the test with two hundred words two years earlier." ”

"Didn't I take care of Guan Xiaomei at that time, I told her at that time, I went to help my eldest brother read and write, but my little sister said, my eldest brother is a combat hero, a hero, what are you going to do." Tang Wei stood up and patted his chest, "I told her at the time, I am also a good man, I am not afraid of war." She didn't believe it, and then I came to be a soldier, big brother, you see, I'm not also a hero. ”

Brother Guan smirked, he didn't think Tang Wei was brave, he was very ordinary, but it was not good to embarrass Tang Wei in person.

"Big brother, we're all done cleaning, I urgently need to help you read and write?"

Brother Guan hurriedly said, "Okay, what words are we going to learn today?" ”

"Brother, this word is the most complicated, but we have to learn it, in fact, it is useless in other places, only it is useful to fight tartars."

Brother Guan nodded resolutely, as if going to the battlefield to charge, Tang Wei carried a branch and wrote on the ground, more and more strokes, Brother Guan's mouth opened wider and wider, Tang Wei finally finished writing and said: "It is this 'inlay' word, we must use it, because there are four flags in the Tartar that have inlaid words." ”

Brother Guan wiped the sweat on his forehead, and there were more than 20 strokes in this word.

"Brother Guan, look, here is a golden word, that is, the red flag edge of Jiannu is sewn with a needle, this Xiang, I don't know this Xiang, but it is also useful after all, Xiangyang is this word, I have been there, and I will be able to use it in the future."

Brother Guan silently back his head, "Why didn't you learn Xiangyang when you were promoted to non-commissioned officer?" ”

"If the non-commissioned officer doesn't learn this word, the officer must learn it, otherwise the officer sometimes distributes warrants, how can you read it, or when we are serving as an outpost, how can we write military information to the officer." Tang Wei encouraged, "Big brother, look, the non-commissioned officer will come to an end by two more levels, the officer can be longer, and the proportion of retirement pension is much higher, I heard that the dividend can be taken away in the future, but it is much more cost-effective than the field." Big brother, you are so good at fighting, being an officer is at least a battalion officer, that is a lot of money, now you are learning to write, you are earning money for nothing. ”

Brother Guan gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I learn, I have to memorize it if I don't sleep today." ”

After tossing for almost an hour, Brother Guan was basically able to write all this inlay, although it was crooked, it could be seen anyway, which was impossible for someone to teach him patiently in an ordinary military literacy class.

Tang Wei took the trouble to write on the ground with a branch and Brother Guan, who was sweating profusely, as if he had fought a spear battle.

When Brother Guan finally wrote a neat inlay, Tang Wei hugged Brother Guan excitedly and laughed, Brother Guan and followed with a smirk, he was one step closer to his dream of being an officer.

After the two were happy, Brother Guan turned his head to look at the classroom again, where there was a break in the middle, and before he finished speaking, Brother Guan said to Tang Wei: "Let's go to the door to listen, what can we do?" ”

Tang Wei picked up the broom, "Let's sweep the corridor." ”

The two immediately walked over with brooms on their shoulders, hid outside the door and listened to Zhong Laosi's lecture inside, Zhong Laosi's male goose was still howling.

“…… Whether it is a campaign reserve or a strategic reserve, their role is not to support the entire front after the defeat of the main force, and no reserve can resist the enemy's imposing attack after the defeat of the main force alone. Therefore, the use of reserves is to cooperate with the main force in battle, to complete offensive or defensive tasks in a decisive direction, and not to prepare for the defeat of the main force, unless the commander is a foolish civil official. ”

There was a low laugh below, Dengzhou Town has long had a tradition of not being able to lead the troops as a civil official, and it is not Zhong Laosi alone, Liu Pojun is also like this when he lectures on martial arts.

Brother Guan also smirked when he heard this, "Yes, I want to be an officer, not a stupid civil official." ”

Tang Wei listened to it next to him, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't want to be an officer, I don't want to be a civil official, I just want to marry Guan Xiaomei." (To be continued......)
