Chapter 207: Give It a Try (Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Ningyuan Prefecture, known as "the first state outside the Guan", the famous "Ningyuan Victory" in history took place here, and at this time, this Ningyuan City, which had made Nurhachi hate, has completely changed its appearance, the once strong city wall was blown into ruins under the blasting operation, the carriage full of corpses kept driving outside the city, hundreds of corpses were hastily buried in the trenches, of course, this is the "burial pile" of the losers, no one will bury them one by one, at most just a wooden sign on the tree in front of the big tomb, on the book" The dead officers and soldiers of the direct army are graved", and even so, it can be regarded as "benevolence and righteousness", and it is already done by a benevolent teacher if he does not put his corpse in the wilderness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When thousands of corpses were hastily buried in the trenches, on the official road leading to the north, a team of three or four thousand people was marching to the rear, and they were all wearing blue cloud clothes without exception, and many of them were all at a loss to see the North Korean troops on horseback on the side of the road, the so-called North Korean army was actually the "new Korean army stationed in Korea", but they were used to calling it the "North Korean army".
For these Zhili training troops who were transferred from Zhili to Guanwai for reinforcements, they were still dizzy until now, and they didn't know how they were defeated, after the city wall was blown up, in the face of the Korean army pouring in like a tide, the officers and commanders fled one after another, they could only raise their hands and choose to surrender.
Then Ningyuan Prefecture, which had the "first state outside the Guanguan", was taken by the "rebel bandits", and they became prisoners, and now they were formed into a queue and walked to the rear, which did not seem to be difficult for the soldiers who trained more than 200 miles a month to march and train.
Unlike the previous march, though, in the next seven hours. These Zhili training troops who were captured in Ningyuan Prefecture marched for seventy miles. Until everyone is exhausted. They were scattered and guarded in a well-groomed field.
After the soldiers were dispersed to various guard points, according to the requirements, the soldiers and soldiers identified all the officers and commanders, and in the face of this scene, the officers and soldiers were silent at first, they were all scooping food in a pot, and not many people were willing to betray each other, not to mention, most of the battalion officers fled, and the big ones who stayed were just the sentry commanders. The head of the shed, the man in front of the brave soldiers of the capital.
However, there seemed to be no risk, and after several comforting persuasions, some sentry chiefs and shed chiefs automatically came out to admit their identities, and some officials were identified by their subordinates, and then these officials were politely invited out of the team, and even with apologies in their words, in short, they were extremely polite.
And after these officials left, the collective concept of hierarchy in this team was instantly disintegrated, and these previously captured soldiers were still able to form a small group around the officials. And now, they are all looking around blankly, and the atmosphere suddenly seems a little weird. And at this very moment. The wardens of the prisoner camp lost no time in providing the soldiers with a sumptuous dinner, thus relieving the eerie atmosphere.
The rice is full, the meat slices are enough, even during the New Year's holidays, the days of the big guys are not as comfortable as now, a large piece of fat meat goes down, a mouthful of oil, and the soldiers are all smiling on their faces, as a gunner, Li Yuncong was still the same as most of the soldiers at the beginning, choosing to be silent in an unfamiliar environment, but eating and eating, this fragrant fat meat made his mind float.
This North Korean army also seems to be good!
Li Yuncong is a native of Zhili, the grain is the grain, and the soldiers eat the grain, this is a natural truth, in the army, originally he still expected to be able to rely on his military exploits to be an official, but now the team has collapsed, and there is no hope. After being captured, he just wanted to save his life and go back to his hometown to see his wife and daughter-in-law.
But now, he is thinking that if he can carry a gun in this North Korean army, maybe he will be able to mix a half-official position in the future, he is a gunner, and when he gets there, this gunner is a rare thing to get five taels of silver.
As soon as he entered the prisoner of war camp, the corners of Wei Guowei's lips raised slightly, more than 500 prisoners of war sat on the ground, they had just eaten, their expressions were more relaxed than before, confused and dazed, yes, this is exactly what he needs, he needs these people to relax their vigilance and let go of their doubts. Even a long march is a prerequisite for the other side to relax their vigilance, and fatigue will always minimize people's vigilance.
I'm saving them!
Taking a deep breath and walking to the stage made of wooden boxes, Wei Guowei suddenly shouted.
"All stand and ......"
As soon as the short, sharp and vicious words came out, these prisoners of war immediately subconsciously stood in a military posture and began to pull away from each other, which was the result of a long period of training in the army.
In fact, this is the role of the military posture, breaking the old habits, re-learning to walk, gathering, and then subconsciously obeying, of course, more importantly, the unified pace, action will make everyone have a collective consciousness, thus generating a sense of collective belonging, to a certain extent, the seemingly boring military posture is also a kind of brainwashing.
And now, what Wei Guowei wants to do is real brainwashing, as a regimental instructor, he has received corresponding training in the ideological teaching class of the police department, and the person who presides over this course is no one else, it is the master of the general supervisor!
Whether it is in the police department or in the new army, the instructor is a very special position, his rank is the same as that of the chief officer at the same level, but he is not in charge of the army, but is responsible for the ideological work of the officers and soldiers, in the simplest words, it is to let the soldiers "die willingly", yes, this is his job!
But now, Wei Guowei's job is to let these captive soldiers willingly join the new army, and change their previous cowardice, like the new officers and soldiers who are not afraid of death.
When observing the captives lined up in front of him, Wei Guowei noticed that the vast majority of them had their heads down, only a few people raised their heads, and those who bowed their heads looked a little timid, for them, the only expectation was to survive, and for those who raised their heads, they may only wait for the "recruitment" of the officials.
But the vast majority of people are cowardly with their heads bowed. Avoiding his gaze. Moment. Wei Guowei suddenly said loudly.
"If you want to keep your head down, just keep your head down, I understand your feelings, you have lived half your life, aren't you just keeping your head down like this all your life?"
There was some sarcasm in his words, and Wei Guowei was already familiar with ideological work, so it was naturally easy to talk about his heart.
“…… When you are reproached and humiliated, you keep your heads down. has no courage, and when he is beaten, he lowers his head and does not dare to resist...... is even wearing this number robe, looking majestic, but everyone is a coward in his bones, and he doesn't even have the courage to raise his head and straighten his waist...... You guys are a bunch of shit, shit and mud...... Look up at me, am I that scary? Hear me clearly, I'm just scolding you...... What are you like living your life like for the rest of your life? Think about it, in addition to wearing this number one. With the majesty of the uniform, I have bullied the common people who broke their bones and laughed like you. Have you ever done a glorious thing......"
A vicious stimulus finally stimulated some of them to raise their heads, the kind of insensitivity that is extremely inferior, it takes the most vicious stimulation to be effective, Wei Guowei has undoubtedly done it, at least now he has attracted a wave of hateful eyes.
But these people are not a threat to him, they lack courage and blood, more of a numbness in their bones, he has seen too many recruits, but now, he does not have time to euphemistically awaken their courage and blood, he only has a short time, he needs to awaken their courage and bloodiness in a more direct way.
When they looked at him with hatred, he made a more drastic motion, and he stepped forward and slapped his mouth one by one.
"Pap, papa, papa, papa......"
In the sound of the slap, those soldiers who were pumped with their eyes straight into Venus were all furious, glaring at Wei Guowei angrily, this, what's wrong? Why, why do you say that you will beat someone!
"That's right, forbearance, you have endured most of your life, in exchange for what? It is to make others more arrogant, your silence and retreat, in exchange for the disdain of others, in the training army, you are just a group of food, a group of mud that only knows how to eat, when needed, pull out the waste of strong momentum......"
After being slapped in the face, Li Yuncong, who was angry in his heart but didn't dare to attack, heard this chief say this, and the anger disappeared suddenly, isn't it just a waste, when he was in his hometown, he was bullied by the housekeeper of the owner, and when he was a buddy in the store, he was bullied by the big guy, that is, he became a soldier, and he was also bullied by the elder soldiers.
When he had figured this out, the anger turned into unspeakable shame, and his face became hotter and redder, and at that moment suddenly a voice reached his ears.
"Now, I'm going to give you a choice to change your fate!"
Wei Guowei's left hand is crossed at the waist, and his right hand is pointed forward.
"Either you will get out of here with your head down as you did before, and be a poor creature that no one cares about, or you will hold your head high, hold your chest high, put on this military uniform, start from scratch, be a real soldier, and never bow your head from now on!"
Wei Guowei, who had a cold face, looked extremely excited, and he suddenly pulled the nearest soldier in front of him who was still wrapped in bandages on his head, and asked loudly.
"Tell, what do you want to be?"
The person who was pulled was already stimulated by the expansion of his veins at this time, and he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly
"Sir, I've never let people look at me in my life, I listen to you, I follow you!"
Seeing that there was someone at the beginning, the governor of the heart had become Wei Guowei said loudly again.
"Brothers who are willing to join our garrison, please come to my right hand."
Looking at the raised right hand, Li Yuncong swallowed his saliva, and he immediately followed everyone to the side slowly, at this time, like most people, he only had one thought left in his mind.
"Fuck, isn't it just a soldier to fight!"
At this moment, Li Yuncong figured it out, and everyone else also figured it out.
"Maybe you can make a name for yourself here! Let others no longer dare to underestimate themselves! ”
When Li Yuncong and his brothers took off their uniforms one after another and changed into the black Western-style military uniforms of the New Army, in the division headquarters of the Sixth Division, Wu Jinbiao looked at the reports of the three regiments, but he couldn't help shaking his head, as the commander of the Sixth Division. No wonder his face was so ugly.
In fact, there are only three divisions of the New Army stationed in Korea. The 1st Division was the unit that was trained last year. It can be regarded as the main force of the new army, and the second division was formed by recruiting recruits from Zhili and Shandong before the Spring Festival, and a part of the officers and soldiers of the first division were supplemented as the backbone. As for the 3rd Division, it was reorganized from eight mobile police brigades.
As for the fourth, fifth, and sixth divisions, as well as the seventh and eighth divisions that are being formed, they are all newly formed units, and the biggest common denominator of the three divisions is that a mobile police brigade is used as the backbone, and then the prisoners of war are accepted and organized into units, just like the sixth division has once again received more than 3,000 prisoners of war. As a result, the strength of the Sixth Division exceeded 10,000 people, and the three infantry regiments were basically in order, but there were less than 1,000 veterans themselves, which meant that each soldier needed to manage ten prisoners of war on average, and he couldn't take them at all.
And if you want to bring it to the rear for training and education, there is not much possibility, but the troops here will have to advance into the pass at any time and attack the capital, if they withdraw to Jinzhou for training, they will definitely not be able to catch up with the big battle in front of them. And the instructions of the General Staff were to capture and replenish the prisoners in the line of fire. But the reality is always so cruel, and it doesn't matter if there are too many prisoners.
"The strength of the whole division is 10,000. Police 876, recruits 653, prisoners...... 9137, with so many captives, it's such a hassle to manage! ”
The division commander's complaint reached Zhang Jianlin's ears, and unlike the division commander Wu Jinbiao, who was born in the Armed Forces Academy, this division instructor in charge of the ideological work of officers and soldiers came from the police cadre training class, and had never even been trained in the lecture hall, but this did not prevent him from being a division instructor, but he shook his head and said.
"It's okay, it's just some prisoners, although the combat effectiveness is a little worse, but judging from the effect of the fourth division, it is impossible to let them attack, but they can be strong, but they don't have to worry about rebellion, after all, the officers have been dealt with, and the rest are soldiers, and the officers are still our officers!"
Unlike the Chinese people who used to recruit prisoners, when the Korean army used prisoners, they directly excluded the officers above the post commander level, and the commanders were also used on a limited basis, ensuring control over the troops through the method of "soldiers leading prisoners".
"Hey! Although this is the truth, it is always uneasy! ”
Sighing, Wu Jinbiao glanced at the troop formation table again, and then said in a deep voice
"But there is no way, we are all directly supplemented by prisoners of war here, well, there are still a lot of instability factors, I think, the twelve Green guns captured in Ningyuan City, in my opinion, are directly organized into three companies and allocated to three infantry regiments, which are directly controlled by the front line, what do you think?"
Zhang Jianlin and Chief of Staff Lu Jianming exchanged knowing eyes, and immediately understood why the Green Artillery was handed over to the front line, and Lu Jianming nodded in response.
"I think it's okay, the Green Cannon is not a cannon after all, the firing range is short, and like a rifle, it is a bit wasteful to put it in the back, and it is just right to use it on the front line!"
"I think not only to take down the Green Cannon, but also to think of some other people's methods, what kind of soldier sitting method, too general, we can't kill the whole class to avenge the squad leader, and there are some crimes, on the surface the crime is not death, but if it is not punished, it will cause adverse consequences, such as how to punish collective mistakes? I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not! ”
Looking at the division commander, Lu Jianming expressed his thoughts.
"When I was in the school library, I used to see the ancient Rome in the West, such as the Roman legions, in many collective crimes, the "tithe method" was implemented."
"Tithe?"
The chief of staff's words made Wu Jinbiao stunned, and asked a rhetorical question in some surprise.
"What's the smash?"
"In Roman military law, it was stipulated that those who fled from the battlefield were sentenced to death, and the commander only gave a slight touch of his weapon at the time of execution, and then all the other soldiers subjected him to any cruelty and slaughter at will, and his death was horrific. And if a team runs away en masse, everyone draws lots, and one out of ten is a dead lot. Those who win the lottery will be punished as mentioned above. Because of this method, the soldiers did not dare to flee, so even when the number of troops was outnumbered, the Roman soldiers would fight to the death and die in a straight line. ”
His lips were slightly raised, and a slight sneer flashed on Lu Jianming's face, which only made his whole person look even more cold.
"I think we can try it in the division, that is, among the soldiers who disobey orders and are defeated, one person out of every ten people will be randomly selected to be executed, of course, it doesn't have to be ten, but it can be five or six, or twenty, depending on the situation!"
After a pause, Lu Jianming continued.
Of course, the rebels are not the same as the deserters, and only the collective deserters are punished by the "tithe" method, and the rebels should be killed all, and those who flee alone should also be killed. ”
In fact, even in the lecture hall, the German instructors emphasized to them that discipline is the guarantee of combat effectiveness, and one of the duties of an officer is to ensure the fair implementation of discipline. Throughout ancient China, the divisions of a hundred battles were all forbidden and disciplined.
Even the troops that abandon their commanders must also "take a tithe", which is often seen in the history of Rome, where the commander jumps between his troops and the enemy, shouting loudly, "Your commander is in danger!" Then the Roman legions would desperately rush into the enemy line to protect their commander, because if the commander was killed, the legion would face the penalty of tithes. This is similar to our soldiers' sitting method, so I think this "tithe" can be tried! ”
Faced with the chief of staff's request to "give it a try", Wu Jinbiao thought for a moment, and those captured soldiers came to his mind, thinking of the appearance of the Qing army that would collapse in a battle, although he knew that this "tithe" was very cruel, far more cruel than the soldier's sitting method, but he gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, I think we can give it a try!"
(There is only one shift today.) The "Eleventh Law" has historically proved to be an effective and fast-acting method compared to other methods, and was used by a certain to reverse the disadvantage and defeat the White Army, which was overflowing with officers and could be used as ordinary soldiers, with a rabble. Of course, it's just one of them! Weakly ask for a fixed reading and monthly pass, whether you are looking at the genuine version or not!
