Lu Shan, who led the forward battalion to set off, did not ride a horse, but walked on foot at the head of the first company, accompanied by Tang Shaoyi, and Ning Shijun, who led the cavalry company to set off first, was nowhere to be seen. The first company has left Zhang Qianzhuang and looked back, and the third company has not yet left the village, and the Zhaojialou further south is invisible.

After being stationed in this ravine-crisscrossed land for nearly a year, Lushan had a reluctant feeling for the first time. Unexpectedly, he followed Long Qian to Zhangqianzhuang to inspect the first battalion that had completed the reorganization and prepared for the expedition, but he lost the opportunity to go back to Zhaojialou to see his sweetheart.

There, there was a girl he fell in love with.

Of the several villages in the base area, the longest stationed in Lushan is not Zhengjiazhuang, but Zhaojialou. For a long time, Long Qian entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of dealing with the south of the base area. To guard against the attack of the official army from the south, Zhaojialou is the best support point.

The girl's name is Li Wenxiu, the daughter of a charlatan.

Added up bits and pieces, Lu Shan lived in Li Langzhong's house for at least a month. Li Langzhong was reluctant at first, but later joined the Mengshan Army like Zheng Haoran and Cheng Fugui and became a doctor in the infirmary. Not only did he join the Mengshan Army, but his only daughter, Li Wenxiu, who studied art with him, also joined the medical center. Li Langzhong didn't know about surgery, and he didn't dare to do bloody surgery, but his prescription was good, and his methods of looking at and hearing were first-class in medical centers with a lack of talents.

After a long time, Li Langzhong became familiar with Lu Shan. The topic ranged from the surgical operation that made Li Langzhong admire to the south and north of the world.

Li Langzhong saw the methods of "Western medicine". However, it is still not fully recognized that Western medicine is better than Chinese medicine. His own Taoism is far worse than that of his deceased father, and it must not be said that Chinese medicine is useless. But in the face of the facts, Li Langzhong admitted that the unsightly methods of Western medicine do have advantages that Chinese medicine cannot compare with in the treatment of gunshot wounds and knife wounds.

The hospital even did a case of "caesarean section" with the consent of the family, and although the pregnant woman screamed in pain, it really took the baby, a big fat boy, out of the pregnant woman's belly. And the pregnant woman didn't die. She is from Zhao Jialou. The husband has been passed down for several generations, but he encountered dystocia, and the midwife he found was helpless. Commander Long ordered Huang Yu to personally handle the knife and did this thing that made Zhao Jialou and even the base stunned.

It turns out that it can also be produced like this__

Li Langzhong talked to Lu Shan about it. Lu Shan said with a smile. Our commanders are the stars of the earth. There is nothing he doesn't know. He said yes. That's going to work. When he said this, Li Wenxiu was also present and deeply agreed. "Hey, how does Commander Long know so much? It seems that people who have traveled abroad are amazing. ”

Lu Shan thought to himself, David's kid grew up in the United States, and he admitted that the commander knew what he said, but he hadn't even heard of it. Staying in the ocean? The foreigners are not as good as our commanders.

Those past scenes were replayed in Lu Shan's mind, and he didn't feel it before, but now he feels extremely cordial. Especially Li Wenxiu's smile made Lu Shan miss it.

If only I had time to say hello to her. Lu Shan, who was steadily advancing, thought wistfully.

The three months after the end of the Battle of Yuanzhuang were three months of joyful events for the Mengshan army. Although the training is intense and the schedule is full, there are still many happy events worth mentioning. Mengshan Army held seven weddings in a company, five were soldiers, two were officers, Wu Lie, deputy chief of the logistics section, and Sheng Guang, the commander of the seventh company, became relatives one after another, and the honest and silent Wu Lie took a village aunt in Zhengjiazhuang, and Sheng Guang married Topaz, who was not so good-born, regardless of the discussion.

Sheng Guang's surgery was done by topaz, and the care after the operation was mostly done by topaz. Sheng Guang said, people can't be ignorant of Entu, Huang Yu saved my life, and I am willing to marry her as a wife. Long Qian ordered before attending Sheng Guang's wedding that no one was allowed to mention Topaz's previous affairs! Who dares to do that, not to slap Sheng Guang and his wife in the face, but to slap me in the face of Long Qian. All the officers of the Mengshan Army participated in the wedding of Sheng Guang, who had just recovered from his injuries and walked out of the infirmary, it was very lively and warm, and in Long Qian personally toasted the newlyweds and said a lot of blessings, Huang Yu was moved to cry, couldn't stand, and was helped by Sun Juan and Zhang Hongcao to leave the wedding scene in advance__

On that day, Li Wenxiu was also at the scene. Afterwards, she said to Lu Shan, no wonder you serve Commander Long, he is really a good man.

That good man was targeted, Lu Shan remembered the pungent Chen Shu. The girl clearly expressed her affection for the man, and always looked for an opportunity to get in front of that person, which simply took the life of the owner of Chen Zhuang. But the brothers don't hate Chen Shu, she is a good girl, but she is just a little hotter. The brothers talked about this matter in private, and they pushed themselves and Mingyuan to pick up the matter. Of course, they could only talk to Long Qian first, but Long Qian refused. The reason is untenable, and the soldiers are in danger? Which brethren doesn't do the errand of pinning their heads to their trouser belts? Worried about delaying people? It's even more. It is precisely because of his life that he wants to ask for a daughter-in-law to inherit the lineage. What's more, didn't Long Qian try his best to promote the marriage of his brothers? For what is he willing?

Ning Shijun's kid is worthy of being the chief of staff, and the intestines in his stomach are a few more bends than his own, and he whispered to himself, how can he look down on a village girl when he commands the world's talents? However, don't spread this word to the ears of Chen Zhuang. Joke, will I Lushan chew his tongue like a girl? However, if it is true, the commander is not right, Chen Shu is a village girl, but a cultured village girl, there are ten miles and eight villages around, which one is comparable? Isn't it just a little darker? Besides, how many girls in the mountains are white? Well, Li Wenxiu is quite white__

Not long after that, Lu Shan found out that he was in love with Li Wenxiu.

Love, the word is very expressive. It was Commander Long who said it, love and affection, that's it. Lu Shan, since you like it, you have to attack! Just like you do on the battlefield, attack! Conquer Miss Li! However, you must know the strategy, and you can't stupidly use the method of fighting bayonets, Ha Lu Ha __

Long Qian's hearty laughter was like yesterday.

If I come back alive, I will definitely propose to Li Langzhong! Lu Shan raised his head and quickened his pace.

Ye Yanbing, the commander of the first battalion who followed the second company, did not ride a horse, although the officers above the battalion commander were equipped with riding horses. In general. It was an unwritten rule of the Mengshan Army that officers did not ride horses when they marched, and that they gave up their horses to the wounded and sick. Long Qian took the lead in doing so, and the following naturally did the same. After following Long Qian for a long time, Ye Yanbing really understood what Long Qian was doing, that is, to eliminate the dissatisfaction of the soldiers and maintain the morale of the troops. Not to mention, it really works, as long as the officers, especially the senior officers, train with the troops and march together. The morale of the soldiers was high. There will be less resentment.

The third company is a newly formed company, and the history of the old third company is not long, but this time it was left in the base area by the headquarters as the main force of the left-behind troops. The new company inherited the number of the old company. The company commander of the new third company was Gu Xiaolin. He once served as Long Qian's protector. Later, I worked for a while in the Intelligence Section. I didn't adapt to that job, so I returned to the infantry company as a platoon commander and made meritorious contributions in the ambush battle on the Yuanzhuang Mountain Road. After the war, he entered the officer short training course sponsored by Long Qian for a month, served as a deputy company commander and a recruit company commander, and finally became the company commander of a regular company this time.

The reason why Ye Yanbing followed the third company was that he was not so confident about this new company. This time it's not training, it's a combat march, who knows what's going on in Zou County? Who knows if the officials and troops will be in trouble? The troops had made the best preparations, they were originally going to fight over, but now that an agreement has been reached, the officers and soldiers will open their mouths to let the troops pass, and they will also give them clothing, guns, and ammunition. The guns are fine, but the ammunition is a treasure. Commander Long insisted on using live ammunition for training, and the consumption of bullets was large, and if he did not fight, it was pure consumption. This time, it is necessary to leave enough ammunition for the remaining troops, but instead make the main force out of ammunition for the expedition. Commander Long said that the officials and troops of Zou County would replenish the troops, although he was more and more convinced by Long Qian, but Ye Yanbing was still a little skeptical about this news.

Fortunately, the cavalry company has already gone up, and there will be news soon.

The melodious sound of the military horn came, and it was the deputy commander of Lu Shan, who led the team, giving the order to rest. For long-distance marches, the Mengshan Army has strict rules, regular rest, rest is divided into small rest and large rest, how long each rest is, there are clear regulations, and the highest leader of the team determines the time and category of rest. Because Lu Shan was drawn with a battalion, the order was issued by Lu Shan.

At the sound of the trumpet, the troops who were marching in stride immediately stopped, took the company as a unit, and sat down on the spot to rest.

Following the march of the Mengshan army was also an entourage sent by Xu Shichang, named Zhang Bocun, who was Xu Shichang's subordinate staff officer. Xu Shichang sent it out and followed the first battalion that had been driven first to Zou County on foot, which also had the intention of inspecting the Mengshan Army by the way.

Zhang Bocun has horses, he came on horseback. However, he set out from Zhangqian Village, and like the officers of the Mengshan Army, he took the horse in his hand and drove in on foot. He was curious about the officers who had horses but did not ride, and he wanted to compare them with them. It was also because of yesterday's long journey, both men and horses were tired, and the horses needed to breathe a sigh of relief. The horse is actually quite delicate, and it can even kill it if it continues to gallop. And he himself, the two strands are also worn out, and he doesn't want to ride a horse, but walks more comfortably.

Marching is one of the criteria for testing the combat effectiveness of troops. As a staff officer of the New Army, Zhang Bocun understood the difficulties of long-distance marching. The forward battalion of the Mengshan Army set off as a whole after breakfast, and the speed surprised him, and he left the village in three steps, that is, in the time of a stick of incense. And all the way forward, walked for more than half an hour in one breath, it is estimated that the distance has been about fifteen miles, or it may be that the double strand is injured, Zhang Bocun is a little unable to keep up, and the troops he saw still maintain a neat marching column, no noise, let alone falling behind, only rustling footsteps.

Fortunately, when the horn sounded, the troops stopped, and Zhang Bocun asked the deputy battalion commander surnamed Du, and Du Sanli told him that this was a rest signal and that he could rest for ten minutes.

Zhang Bocun was surprised that these people actually used Western timekeeping. What he saw next surprised him even more: the soldiers sat on the ground, some of them took out the bowls in their satchels, and the squad leader with leather water bags poured half a bowl of water into each soldier's bowl. Most of the soldiers took off their shoes and poured the dust that had poured into their shoes because of walking, and some re-tied their leggings, all of which were very fast, and the whole process was silent, and if it was night, it would hardly be possible to notice that there were hundreds of soldiers on the avenue.

What a strong army. No wonder even Lord Wang Shizhen was defeated at their hands.

Xiong Xun, the commander of the first company, drank half a bowl of water, stuffed the black porcelain bowl back into his shoulder bag, and found an opportunity to raise the question in his heart to Lu Shan, "You said, our main force is gone, and there is a battalion left at home, most of which are recruits." What should I do if Yuan Shikai of the dog day is not trustworthy? ”

Last night, Long Qian personally mobilized the officers above the platoon commander level of the first battalion, and once again talked about the great significance of this expedition. There have been at least three such meetings, but Xiong Xun is still a little unsteady. It's okay to fight foreign devils, but is your nest really safe?

"Don't worry." Lu Shan patted Xiong Xun on the shoulder, "How could the commander not think of this?" It's been a long time since I was planning this. I don't know how Commander Lu Dao learned about the situation in Beijing, it is estimated that it was the news sent back by Jiang Yun's ghost, everything was expected by the commander. The commander told me, don't be afraid of Yuan Shikai's troubles, at least before this battle is over, the surnamed Yuan will not dare to move. It's not because we have the surname Wang in our hands, but because he is afraid that we will be bad on the battlefield. You must know that Lu Dao, we appeared as Yuan Shikai's troops this time. Something went wrong, and the court didn't look for his bad luck? ”

In fact, Lu Shan is not sure about this. However, since the commander said that there was nothing to do, then there was nothing to do. I said that the government would come to us to ask for peace, but no, I was in a hurry, and the one who came was bigger than the other.

Lu Shan looked at his watch—it was also seized, "It's time, blow the trumpet." ”

The rousing trumpet sounded, and the officers and men got up, formed a little formation, and continued to advance. (To be continued......)
