Half a month after taking office, Tang Zhidao no longer had the complacent mood he had at the beginning. The complexity of the small mixed group was far greater than he had expected. If it weren't for the fact that he had been an instructor at the Baoding Military Academy for more than a year; If it weren't for the fact that there were just a few students he had taught within the mixed group; If it weren't for Zhang Yuanhang, who was in charge of the group's affairs, who was not very ambitious, then he would have been even more difficult at the beginning of the mixed group. Now there are so many students, and a few more fellow villagers, with the name of the head of the regiment, barely holding on to the situation, it should be regarded as a great achievement. In the history of the Republic of China, how many airborne commanders like him were played to death by the people below, not only did nothing, but even possibly took their lives. Therefore, during the Republic of China, as long as someone's descendant troops were completely wiped out, they could only obediently push out of the historical stage, and even if they were appointed to important positions in the future, they would just be puppets of others.

"Regiment commander, the third battalion has started training over there." Zhou Wenruo, who had just been appointed as an adjutant a few days ago, said with a worried look on his face that he was summoned to the regiment headquarters with Xu Nan, the new regimental staff officer, and he and Zhou Wenruo were in the same period of the artillery department.

"Yupu, what do you think of these words I wrote." Tang Zhidao wrote the four big characters "Heart is like stopping water" with a brush on a piece of rice paper, but beads of sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks.

"Captain, I don't have much research on calligraphy." Zhou Wenruo smiled and said, in the past ten days, he has figured out some of the temper of this top boss, and the most important one is to tell the truth, but it is really not easy to tell the truth on this occasion today, and the words written by Head Tang are really not good.

"Yupu, I know you're saving face for me." Tang Zhidao stared at the four words for a while, shook his head and said, "After practicing for a few months, there must be no progress." ”

"The barrel of a gun is much more important than the barrel of a pen." Zhou Wenruo comforted and said, "I remember that you often said this when you were an instructor. ”

"Forget it, let's practice later." Tang Zhidao threw aside the transcript on the table and asked, "Chen Daofeng compromised so quickly, this is not like his style. ”

"Camp Commander Chen played yin with us, and the regiment commander just meant to resume morning exercises, and at most do simple running exercises at night." Zhou Wenruo handed over a towel and said angrily: "They pretended to pass on the holy decree and drove the soldiers to the playground to practice at noon. ”

"Oh, and such good things." Tang Zhidao wiped the sweat on his head and smiled in surprise: "I just planned to fully resume training in a month, but people have come ahead of us." "The Second Mixed Regiment has never been well trained since the day it was founded, not to mention that it can't be compared with the front-line troops like the Beiyang Old Sixth Division, even the troops like the Gongwei Army and the Model Regiment are much stronger than it.

"Captain, they're just putting on a show." Zhou Wenruo said anxiously: "Besides, where can these old soldiers in our regiment endure these hardships, won't all the grievances be sprinkled on us at that time." ”

"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!" Tang Zhidao said solemnly: "The mixed group training has fallen too much, if I hadn't been here for too short, I would have carried out intensive training a long time ago." ”

"I'm afraid that if I push it too hard, these soldiers should quit." Of course, Zhou Wenruo understands the meaning of Tang Daodao, the current second mixed group is a plate of loose sand, not to mention pulling it out to fight, even if it is an emergency assembly, I don't know how much work it will take.

"Don't be afraid, as long as we can ensure that the military salary is paid on time, the food can keep up with the training, and the most important thing is that officers at all levels can lead by example, no matter how big the difficulty is, it is not a problem." Tang Zhidao said lightly, it has always been a soldier and a nest of bears, there are no soldiers who cannot be adjusted, only hopeless commanders. In the Marines of later generations, there are many kinds of troubled teenagers. …,

"Then it's up to Chen Daofeng and them to toss around?" Zhou Wenruo said worriedly: "This kind of weather can really heat people to death, and if something really goes wrong, it will be passive." ”

"Of course you can't let them fool around, the soldiers of the third battalion are also my Tang someone's soldiers." Tang Zhidao thought for a while and said: "Let the regiment headquarters canteen cook a few large barrels of mung bean soup and send it to the third battalion, and let the military medical officer take two military doctors to guard the side, ready to treat at any time." “

"Wait!" Zhou Wenruo was just about to go out, and Tang Zhidao asked again: "Are they training now?" ”

"It should be there, I only started doing it yesterday, even if I do it, it will take two or three days." Zhou Wenruo said affirmatively: "When the soldiers can't stand it, they will take the opportunity to incite the soldiers to deal with us." ”

"Inform all officers above the platoon level of the regimental headquarters, the first battalion, and the second battalion to assemble at the regimental headquarters!" After thinking for a while, Tang Zhidao commanded: "No one can be absent!" ”

"Leader, what are you ......" Zhou Wenruo didn't understand Tang Zhidao's intention for a while.

"If people want to act, let's help them act better." Tang Zhidao smiled slyly, what the leaders of country Z in later generations are best at is turning bad things into good things, turning disasters into righteous deeds, and turning accident summary meetings into commendation meetings, not to mention that this matter has always been what Tang Tuan wants to do and doesn't dare to do.

A quarter of an hour later, all the officers were sweating profusely and stood on the lawn in front of the regimental headquarters, the mung bean soup in the canteen was cooked, and several military doctors were also on standby with medicine boxes. With Tang Zhidao's order, hundreds of people walked towards the third battalion station.

On the training ground of the three battalions of the "battalion and battalion commander," hundreds of officers and men were standing listlessly in the hot sun, and the soldiers on duty at the gate saw a large group of men and horses rushing over from a distance, and hurriedly reported: "The regiment and regiment commander have personally brought people here. ”

"What? What is he doing at this time? Chen Daofeng frowned and asked suspiciously, as soon as he stood on the hot training ground yesterday, he regretted taking Zhen Youcai's suggestion, but it was difficult to ride a tiger, and he had to do what he should do.

"It's not just him, the officers of the whole regiment are here." The soldier panted and said, "Come in soon." ”

"Battalion commander, what's wrong." Zhen Youcai also saw some clues, and hurriedly ran over to ask.

"The one surnamed Tang brought the officers of the whole regiment to see our excitement." Chen Daofeng sneered and said, "Let the brothers be mental, don't let people see jokes." ”

"It's coming so fast!" Zhen Youcai rolled his eyes and whispered: "Why don't I encourage my brothers to make trouble, so that the surnamed Tang can't get off the stage?" ”

"Wait until we find out what he meant." Chen Daofeng shook his head and said, "You follow me to meet them." ”

Before a few officers from the third battalion arrived at the door, Tang Zhidao and his party of hundreds of people had already broken in.

"Head Tang, why are you here?" Chen Daofeng pretended to salute and reported: "The third battalion is carrying out training according to your requirements, please ask Commander Tang for instructions." ”

"Battalion Commander Chen conducts training in the face of high temperatures and scorching heat, and this spirit is worth learning from the whole regiment." Tang Zhidao strode forward and clasped Chen Daofeng's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Take me to see the brothers first, this hot day is too embarrassing for you." ”

Immediately after that, without waiting for Chen Daofeng to answer, Tang Zhidao walked straight to the training ground, where many soldiers were a little unbearable and were secretly cursing him as the regiment commander.

"Brothers have worked hard!" Tang Zhidao walked among the soldiers and said loudly: "Listen to my command." ”

The soldiers who had received their salaries all knew that the young officer in front of them was their regimental commander, and immediately quieted down, wanting to hear what this regimental commander would say.

"Turn back!" The soldiers on the field looked at each other and obeyed the order.

"Let's go!" The soldiers obeyed and kept moving forward. …,

"Stand, turn back!" When they arrived at the foot of a row of big trees, the soldiers stopped according to the password, and they also understood the intentions of Regiment Commander Tang, and the anger in their chests dissipated a little.

"All officers are lined up according to their ranks!" After the soldiers were placed, the officers present were quickly assembled, and marched to the front of the queue of soldiers according to Tang Zhidao's orders, but they were completely exposed to the hot sun.

"Brothers, you have worked hard." Tang Zhidao first solemnly saluted the officers ......and soldiers present before he said loudly: "Since the establishment of our Second Mixed Regiment for more than half a year, military discipline has been lax, training has been wasted, and it has almost been dismissed. In the end, Tang Zhidao changed his mind and vigorously praised the spirit of Battalion Commander Chen and the whole battalion of the Third Battalion of "training in summer and training in winter", and said that he would use his salary to reward the officers and men of the third battalion and promote it throughout the regiment.

"Good!" The soldiers of the third battalion stood comfortably in the shade of the trees and looked at their commander sweating and standing in the scorching sun, feeling very happy, and they were also very surprised by such an enthusiastic speech by the new regiment commander, who had not reprimanded them seriously in the past.

That day, the head of the Tang regiment spoke for half an hour, and his whole body was soaked with sweat, but he was still full of energy. And the fact that the officers under the scorching sun were stunned alive fully exposed the problems existing in this army.

In this way, Zhen Youcai's so-called conspiracy and tricks were turned into a positive model by Tang Zhidao, not only Battalion Commander Chen was greatly praised, but even the soldiers were also notified and commended, and each of them was given an additional piece of small ocean (two corners). Looking at the regiment commander, battalion commander and other officers exposed to the scorching sun with him, drinking fresh and refreshing mung bean soup, thinking about Xiao Yang who was about to get his hands, the soldiers had already run to Java with a little resentment, on the contrary, the image of Regiment Commander Tang became more and more tall, at least a hundred times stronger than the previous one. Regiment Commander Tang also took the opportunity to completely resume the daily training of the Second Mixed Regiment and initially established his authority in the regiment.
