In the following week, the run-in situation of each company was not bad, but there was always friction, many differences in language, region, living habits, and the nature of Chinese who are not good at communication, this contradiction naturally deepened.

As a result, during training on the morning of March 9, a platoon commander of the second battalion scolded the new Guangxi cadets for saying that the Guangxi monkeys were stupid, which led to a small riot. More than 30 people from both sides fought together, and the training ground was dusty.

Wang Zhenyu didn't talk much nonsense, and directly asked Ma Xicheng and Zhao Dongsheng to take the brigade headquarters guard team and more than 40 people in the teaching team to hold military sticks, and beat the crowd in the melee. The others who watched were terrified.

Wang Zhenyu asked the ins and outs of the whole thing with a tiger face, and without saying a word, the scolding platoon commander was beaten with 20 military sticks, and then expelled from the army and told him to get out. All others who participated in the brawl, regardless of their severity, were to be rewarded with twenty military sticks.

In this way, everyone was honest, and the Ninth Brigade, which was composed of people from Hunan, Hubei, and Guangxi, temporarily achieved harmonious coexistence under Wang Zhenyu's high pressure.

Wang Zhenyu was not satisfied with this, and after discussing with Xu Yuanquan, Wan Yaohuang, Yang Wangui and others, he made a second reorganization of the Guangxi student soldiers.

The first is the big competition, which is based on cultural and military fundamentals (running, jumping, throwing, and shooting).

After two days of competition, 48 outstanding soldiers, including Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yu Zuobai, Liao Lei, and Li Pinxian, were added to the teaching team, and the number of people in the teaching team reached 96. Wang Zhenyu has decided to upgrade the teaching team to a battalion-level unit, with the captain as a major and Zhao Dongsheng as a concurrent, and a detachment under it, with the leader of the detachment being a captain, a squad leader, a deputy squad leader being a lieutenant, and all students and soldiers being second lieutenants.

Seventy outstanding individual soldiers were divided among the newly established staff offices, quartermaster offices, reconnaissance companies, and spy companies at the brigade headquarters. The Guards drew veterans from each battalion to make up the establishment of 50 men.

The remaining 162 unsuccessful candidates were all added to the 81 squads belonging to the three infantry battalions, with exactly two in each squad. After the replenishment of 280 Guangxi cadets, the total number of officers and men in the brigade reached 1,198. Wang Zhenyu's Jihua is also clear, and he is waiting for the decision to be dismissed by the left-behind mansion. He carefully selected and expanded from 300,000 Mali in Nanjing City to between 4,000 and 6,000 people, and at least upgraded three battalions to three regiments. By the way, it is necessary to form an engineer unit of 500 people, and he is so close to Wang Zhixiang in the third section, isn't it because this old boy has an engineer battalion under his hands?

Personnel are going well, and the next step is military training. Although Yang Wangui is the chief of staff of the brigade, in fact, he is not very familiar with modern military affairs. At present, the training of the Tiger Brigade is discussed by Wan Yaohuang and Xu Yuanquan, and the newly compiled booklet of the military code and the booklet of the training code have been distributed to all departments. Wan Yaohuang also specially designed a training effect assessment form, according to which the daily training effect was checked unit by unit.

Wang Zhenyu was very satisfied with this and appointed Wan Yaohuang as director of the training department of the brigade headquarters and director of the military justice department, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. At the same time, Tang Hairong was appointed as the captain and company commander of the reconnaissance company, and Zhang Xuguang was appointed as the captain and company commander of the special service company; The daily training of the special service company and the reconnaissance company was also entrusted to Wan Yaohuang......

Since the 9th Infantry Brigade was transferred to the Nanjing Garrison Command, its garrison was adjusted to the Army Middle School. The environment here is elegant, the accommodation conditions are superior, and what makes Wang Zhenyu even more satisfied is that there is a very professional training ground here, so the conditions of Haode naturally cannot be in vain.

On the training ground, there was dust and figures, and the detachment leader was shouting there: "Hurry, hurry up, you trash, you still want to be an officer, hurry up, hurry up for Lao Tzu, and use the strength of milk for Lao Tzu." ”

On the stone staircase at the edge of the training ground, five or six exhausted cadets who had just been drilled by the detachment leader sat there to rest.

They had just finished their weight-bearing physical training, although the spring breeze was blowing and the cool breeze was blowing. But it can't prevent their clothes from being soaked with Han water, and a military kettle full of cold boiled water is a good way to quench their thirst.

One of the four-faced, slender eyebrows took a sip of water, glanced at the lively training ground, and said, "What do you think of our new brigade commander?" ”

"What else, Brother Delin, be content, there is no arrears of food and drink, and there is a new padded jacket all over the body. If you think about the days in the 16th Brigade in the past, can you compare them with now? It's just that this training is too **, much more than the amount in the Army Academy before, and it is exhausting. A goose-egg-faced, squinting-eyed student replied very casually.

Another somewhat thin student soldier seemed to disagree with this: "Brother Jiansheng, I don't like to hear what you say, we came out of Guangxi for the revolution, not for that bit of food, drink and salary." ”

The goose-egg-faced student who looked a little lazy smiled: "According to what you Yu Zuobai meant, do you still want to be called Huazi?" Then you go, no one will stop you. Look at you, you don't seem to have enough of the hardships of the past few months!"

As soon as he saw that he was about to get on the bar, the aspect of the apprentice, who was known as the eldest brother of Delin, hurriedly said and said: "Don't argue first, I want to say that I don't mean that." I just thought, let's come out of Guangxi to make a revolution, what are we trying to do? ”

When the goose-faced student named Jiansheng heard this question, his eyes suddenly revealed a sharp and resolute look: "What's the picture? Brother Delin, brothers, I, Bai, am a poor bastard, I just want to do a career, don't come to the world for nothing. But coming out of Guangxi, in addition to the current Brigade Commander Wang, do you see that the revolutionary army has a bit of a career? ”

The little man Yu Zuobai was still a little angry just now, but now when he heard this, he also nodded and said: "I agree with Brother Jiansheng, to be honest, our brigade in the whole Nanjing is still a little revolutionary, and other people and horses are making trouble, so let's go out here as usual." ”

Another stout student also shouted: "I, Liao Lei, followed Captain Zhao out, and I was able to eat enough in this ninth brigade, it's a shame to say, where did we suffer this crime in the army primary school before." ”

This self-proclaimed Liao Lei student stood next to a pair of students with arms closed and clear eyebrows: "Yes, our Liao Lei classmates are really offended, and now they don't recognize anything except food in their eyes, and they are about to become rice buckets." ”

That Liao Lei was dumbfounded: "You Li Pinxian is embarrassed to laugh at me, I didn't see you kid eat two less bites at that meal, if I were a rice bucket, you would be a king-size rice bucket." ”

After speaking, the two laughed happily again, and it seemed that the personal relationship was very good.

The man known as the eldest brother of Delin is Li Zongren, and the man who is called Jiansheng is the famous little Zhuge Bai Chongxi during the Republic of China.

These five people were not familiar with each other originally, but after the 16th Brigade was transferred, 300 Guangxi soldiers were sold to the 9th Brigade by Brigade Commander Zhao Hengti as a burden. This was followed by the second reorganization, and a group of Guangxi cadets were transferred to the training team, which is said to be a training officer, to continue to serve as cadets. It was such a chance that the five of them happened to be assigned to the same class, so they naturally met.

Li Zongren is an old man, and he is also a little honest, because of the word Delin, so everyone calls him Brother Delin. And Bai Chongxi is not very old, but he is very witty, and his speech is also very tricky, it is easy to kill his popularity, but his heart is not bad, and everyone doesn't care.

At this moment, Li Zongren's heart is overturning the five-flavor miscellaneous bottle, and he has all kinds of feelings. Although life is better now than in the past few months, like a person, it is difficult for Li Zongren to get rid of the feeling of being sold.

Originally, in the 16th Brigade, these people were already second lieutenant officers, but suddenly I didn't know what agreement Brigade Commander Zhao had reached with the current Brigade Commander Wang. These people became the people of the Ninth Brigade, and they were also reorganized and scattered by Zuihou.

You must know that Li Zongren is ambitious, and his motivation for coming out to join the army was very pure, and he did not seek to pluck the feathers of geese, but to leave a name in history. This can be said to be quite a strange thing for a child from a civilian family, but such a strange ** idea has affected Li Zongren's life.

When I came out of Guangxi half a year ago, my revolutionary enthusiasm had already been poured with cold water from reality. Now facing an unfamiliar team and unfamiliar superiors, such a strong sense of strangeness even made 20-year-old Li Zongren have the idea of resigning and returning to his hometown in Guangxi.

"You are Li Zongren?" A gentle voice interrupted Li Zongren's musings.

Before Li Zongren could turn around, Bai Chongxi, who was originally lazily leaning on the stone ladder buttress, suddenly bounced up from the stone ladder and gave a standard military salute to the person behind Li Zongren: "Salute, Bai Chongxi, a student of the first detachment of the teaching team directly under the Ninth Brigade, reports to Brigade Commander Wang." ”

Otherwise, eyesight is very important, Li Pinxian and Liao Lei are still busy teasing each other there, and Yu Zuobai is still there waiting for Li Zongren to speak; Only Bai Chongxi immediately recognized that the young man who walked down the stone stairs and greeted Brother Delin was none other than the new commander of his own people, Wang Zhenyu, the commander of the Ninth Brigade. That's right, although he is also wearing a blue-gray military uniform, isn't the gold star collar emblem that marks the major general of the army buckled on the collar badge?

"Oh, you're Bai Chongxi." The person who came was Wang Zhenyu, who had just sent off Mr. Ye Zuwen, who had just finished handling Shanghai affairs today. It was rare to have a quiet time, so I went to the teaching team that trained grassroots officers for himself. He nodded with a smile, and motioned for Yu Zuobai, Liao Lei and other students who were scrambling to salute him, and then motioned for them to sit down.
