She An stared at the Liaodong terrain sand table with burning eyes.

This sand table has been detailed very clearly from Liaoyang to Liangfangkou, and the traffic volume of each road has been calculated. As a branch of the First Army, Xiao Donglou did not mobilize him when he launched the winter offensive, but only made a report, but this did not prevent him from cooperating accordingly.

"Let's fight Liaoyang directly." She An briefed the military council on the strategic goals.

Wang Yi sat behind the three battalion officers and straightened his waist.

There is no doubt that its own tank division is bound to rush to the forefront.

Sure enough, She An's gaze passed over the battalion officer below and fell on Wang Yi in the second row, and said, "The Tank Division is still the sharp knife of the whole division." ”

"The first battle of the lowly position!" Wang Yi stood up and replied loudly.

The battalion officer in front looked back at him with a smile, and knew that this young general would be in the previous step after this battle - the thousand commanders of the 1000th headquarters of the 1st division had not been filled after the transfer, and they were obviously waiting for him.

She An nodded, and sure enough, he said, "The thousandth headquarters is also temporarily under your command." Your task is to open a direct passage to Liaoyang for the main force of our division, and I don't want to fight until I see Liaoyang City! ”

"Humble duty understands!" Wang Yi was as polite as he was, with an excited look on his face.

"Okay, time is running out, the third battalion will leave a thousand headquarters to garrison Liangfangkou, and the other troops will immediately assemble and prepare to leave." She Andao.

This was the end of the short and efficient military council, and no one exchanged words, and each went to his own station.

Wang Yi's movements were particularly agile, like a monkey leaping through the forest, and he was the first to rush out of the conference room.

The station of the Tank Division was originally located in the northernmost part of Liangfangkou, which was a key point for defense and attack.

"The whole team!"

As soon as Wang Yi returned to the camp, regardless of the darkness, he ordered in a loud voice: "Swear immediately." Then depart. ”

Zhang Li stepped forward and said, "Our goal is Liaoyang?" ”

"Of course, where else can I fight besides Liaoyang now?" Wang Yi walked to his barracks as he spoke, quickly packed his things with his hands and feet, and packed his bags in a short time.

"So, what are you waiting for?" As soon as he turned around, he saw that Zhang Li hadn't moved, so he couldn't help urging: "General She said it." When he saw the city wall of Liaoyang, he didn't want to fight. ”

"There are two problems." Zhang Li Zhengse said: "First, the report of the Governor's Mansion said that Liaoyang is the strategic target of the Second Army's winter attack. Second, the report sent by the Military Intelligence Department earlier said that 30,000 men and horses from the Dongyu Dolgon Department appeared in the northeast of Haizhou, that is, southwest of Liaoyang. ”

"First, the second army has nothing to do with us. Who said that we can't fight their strategic goals? Wang Yi said: "Second, we are the Tank Division, I don't care who is in front of us and how many people there are, since there is a military order for us to fight." We're going to have to kill them. ”

Zhang Li felt a little troubled, but what the chief said was indeed reasonable. This issue had already been discussed at the previous staff meeting of the Military Council, and the vast majority of the staff officers did not think that there was anything wrong with preemptively capturing Liaoyang. Although the Second Army was higher than the First Division, it was not subordinate to it. And no matter how the 1st Division moves, there is no possibility of undermining the implementation of the strategy of the 2nd Army.

As long as the second army is fast enough, it is still possible to capture Liaoyang first, but they set out from Haicheng, which is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Liaoyang. Fifty miles closer than the tank division.

Fifty miles is a whole day's march.

At the staff meeting, Zhang Li couldn't convince his colleagues, and now the military orders have come down. That's even more unlikely to change.

"Wait," Wang Yi called Zhang Li, "I ask everyone to bring two days' provisions, full ammunition, and rush to Liaoyang." ”

According to the rules of the discipline, the regular march marched ten miles every hour. The march lasted eight hours a day, about eighty miles. The forced march must march twenty miles per hour and more than 100 miles a day, and be able to form a battle formation and enter battle at any time. This is the standard that every main force is required to meet. And in the Tank Division, there is also a standard set by Liu Laosi as the commander-in-chief: Rush.

The rush requires the soldiers to reach a speed of 30 miles per hour, travel more than 200 miles a day, and be able to quickly enter the combat state and maintain the integrity of the formation. Although it is not too high in terms of speed, much slower than that of later generations of marathon runners, the journey of 200 miles is equivalent to running two and a half marathons a day, which requires extremely high physical endurance and will to fight.

Zhang Li just frowned and said, "You want to run in the ice and snow?" ”

The drill code stipulates that non-combat personnel such as participation, training, and military law can ride horses, but in the Tank Division, there is also a tradition left by Liu Laosi: officers and soldiers are one.

Liu Laosi firmly believed that officers should not ride on horses to spur the soldiers, but at least should run with them. This simple idea of equality did not hinder his prestige, but made the soldiers even more desperate. Therefore, most of the non-combatants of the tank division would follow the march if they were not too weak, and the horses were used to carry the wounded and sick and carry the baggage.

"Then you stay and watch the school grounds, there is still hot water here every day." Wang Yi pushed back, and when he turned around and went out, he had already heard the assembly posts of various bureaus and flag teams, and the fast people had already run from the barracks to the school field.

Zhang Li and Wang Yi have long understood each other's temper after getting along these days, and they are not annoyed, so they go back to deal with their work. If you want to attack Liaoyang, you have to cooperate with another division of the headquarters, and people don't have the habit of running and training at every turn, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep up.

And that division is very unlucky, it is the general who rushed to Wang Yi's aid in the previous battle of the Tang River. At that time, he brought a 17th Battalion artillery artillery, and he came late because he was lost, but in any case, he also made a meritorious contribution to the Battle of the Tang River, so he was transferred to the 1000th headquarters of the 1st Battalion and partnered with Wang Yi after being promoted.

According to Qi Jiguang's original military system design, there are two divisions on the left and right of a thousand headquarters, which is a bit of a bias. One main man, one assist. Although it is not written, people always have this kind of habitual thinking. The Tank Division is the star of the whole army, so Jiang Jun is naturally the one who assists.

What embarrassed Jiang Jun was that every time he cooperated in a battle, Wang Yi would always remind him: "Don't bring a cannon this time." Or, "Don't get lost!" At first, he only thought that Wang Yi was a young man and intended to expose his shortcomings, but later he realized that Lu Dao, a seemingly heartless rising star in the army, was really a comrade who died on the battlefield.

This undoubtedly made Jiang Jun feel guilty for his ineffective assistance, and he became more and more "small" in front of Wang Yi.

"Mr. Wang." Jiang Jun arrived at the school and saw that Wang Yi was already ready to take the oath and set off.

"General Jiang, have you obtained the military order that the headquarters is under my unified command?" Wang Yi asked.

Jiang Jun seemed to be blown by a cold wind, and said uprightly: "The second division of the headquarters reports to Jiang Jun, the chief officer!" ”

"Take a break," Wang Yi said, "order your troops to carry three days' provisions, forcibly march with our troops to attack Liaoyang, and be the vanguard of the main force of our division." ”

"Humble duty understands!" Jiang Jun saluted, quickly turned around and left, and brought the men and horses of the company over.

At the level of the thousand headquarters, there is no qualification for the pledge meeting, Wang Yi stood on the platform of the school general, listening to the cold wind roaring in his ears, and the sound of military flag hunting in the field. Knowing that every word he said would be swallowed up by the wind, he simply took the flag of the Tank Division from the standard-bearer without saying a word.

The bright red flag is embroidered with gold thread with a tiger with its mouth and teeth, and a pair of meat wings are born on the tiger's back, which is the only special military flag given by the entire Ming Dynasty.

This two-winged flying tiger flag is the pride of Liu Laosi and the pride of every member of the Tank Division.

Wang Yi raised the military flag and stared at the soldiers in the school field.

Finally, the burning fighting spirit in his heart was felt by his comrades, and hundreds of voices converged into a slogan: "I am Wu Weiyang!" Take the other side and be cruel! ”

"I'm Wu Weiyang!"

"Take the other side and be cruel!"

Wang Yi held the flag in one hand, pulled out the war knife in the other, slashed it from afar, and roared in a hissed voice: "Liaoyang! ”

"Liaoyang!"

"Liaoyang!"

"Liaoyang!"

……

In the cheers, the captains of the flags led the team to run, went out of the school field, and ran directly to the north.

Jiang Jun's heart was a little hairy, he had also trained his subordinates with the running standard of the Tank Division. Although he can run down, he can only run for a hundred miles at most, and after he finishes running, he is no longer able to fight.

As an officer from an old guard, he knew the deeds of Liu Laosi, and also knew that the action of this group of men and horses to conquer the earthen village and break into the flank of the army in a roundabout way did not seem difficult, but it was extremely difficult to replicate.

"How did this come about......" Jiang Jun felt his little stomach sour when he thought about it.

At noon on the ninth day of December in the twenty-first year of Chongzhen, the first division of the First Guards Army set off. The "Tiger Ben Daily" interviewer used the word "speed" in his description of this, but he did not dare to use "speed". Because he heard that the Tank Division under the 1st Division had already crossed Haizhou City by this time when it set out yesterday evening, wearing the stars and the moon.

……

It turns out that as long as you run with someone who is faster than you, your speed will also go up unconsciously. Jiang Jun's second division, after running through the night, finally caught up with the tank division at the assembly point. The difference is that the Tank Division is about to set off, and they have to rest here for an hour.

"Look, isn't it a lot faster if you don't get lost without a gun?" Wang Yi stepped forward and patted Jiang Jun, who had already run apart.

Jiang Jun bent over, desperately swallowing the saliva gushing out of his mouth, his whole face squeezed together, and finally said a whole sentence: "I, this and this are all scattered...... How to fight? ”

"Rally and follow." Wang Yi said: "Now that it is dawn, our march on the main road is likely to be discovered by the Eastern Captives, so you have to speed up, maintain your formation, and don't be scratched by your tongue." ”

"I—I know the way." Jiang Jun finally straightened up and said, "We are also the First Guards Army, and we will not let Dongyu catch them alive if we die." ”

"When you're rested, keep running." Wang Yi laughed: "I feel quite comfortable after running through this exhaustion." ”

Jiang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "We will try to catch up." ”

As he spoke, two more flag teams caught up one after the other, and those who were in good health were still supporting their comrades who couldn't run. Under strict drills, even if the formation is chaotic, the establishment of the flag team level will not be completely scattered. (To be continued......)
