Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 4 Governing the Army

Xu Shijiu walked up to Lu Jianbang, stared at Lu Jianbang's eyes and asked, "Company Commander Lu, are you not convinced?" ”

Lu Jianbang snorted from his nostrils again, and didn't answer the question, but the expression on his face was enough to explain everything, he was not not not convinced, but very unconvinced.

"Yes." Xu Nineteen grinned and said to himself, "The Nineteenth Brigade is just a battalion-level unit, why should you be incorporated into the 348th Regiment?" I, Xu 19, am just a remnant of the 19th Route Army, and I have never attended the Central Military Academy, let alone the first five students of Huangpu, so what qualifications do I have to criticize you high-achieving students who graduated from the Central Military Academy? ”

It is true that Lu Jianbang was a water and fire monk in his early years, but at the age of eighteen, he couldn't stand the hardships of the temple and escaped down the mountain, and later he was admitted to the Central Military Academy, and after graduating last year, he was assigned to the 348th Regiment of the 58th Division as a platoon commander, and soon after he was promoted to company deputy, although he joined the 348th Regiment for a short time, he had great feelings for the 348th Regiment.

In the face of Xu Shijiu's ridicule, Lu Jianbang still did not say anything, in fact, it was a tacit acquiescence.

Xu Shijiu looked at Lu Jianbang, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually solidified, and his eyes gradually became cold, these cadets who graduated from the Central Military Academy were arrogant in their bones, as if they were the only ones in the world who could lead troops and fight, not from the Whampoa Military Academy or the Central Military Academy, and they were not even worthy of talking about the military, let alone commanding them.

Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi don't take Xue Yue in their eyes? The fundamental reason is that Xue Yue has never attended the Whampoa Military Academy, let alone traveled abroad to stay abroad, in the eyes of these Whampoa students, Xue Yue, who has experienced a hundred battles, is a local guy who does not understand military theory and modern warfare, what qualifications do he have to criticize them?

Although the qualifications of Lu Jianbang's batch of Central Military Academy cadets are far inferior to those of Gui Yongqing and other Huangpu students in the first five phases, the arrogance in their bones is in the same vein, of course, the Huangpu Military Academy or the Central Military Academy does have capital pride, from the founding of the Huangpu Army to the Northern Expedition, they have hardly suffered defeats, whether it is the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, the Beiyang Army, the Gui Army, the Sichuan Army, the Hunan Army or the Northwest Army, they have all been beaten by them.

But Xu Jiu would never have scruples just because Lu Jianbang was a cadet of the Central Military Academy.

There is a sentence that is often on the lips of General Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater of Operations, there are no unusable soldiers in the world, only unusable generals, and Xu Shijiu believes that there are no uncontrollable soldiers in the world, only uncontrollable generals in the eyes of Xu Shijiu, the more thorny the soldiers, in fact, the better the soldiers, it depends on whether you can cure him.

Lu Jianbang is undoubtedly a good soldier, but he is still a thorn.

For such a thorn head, Xu Shijiu has a trick, the hard top is definitely not good, you have to use a strategy, aren't you a cadet of the Central Military Academy, your ability and identity are extraordinary? Okay, I'll start with your proudest strengths, completely destroy your arrogant capital, and I don't believe I can't clean you up.

"Company Commander Lu, there are no outsiders here, let's open the skylight and say something bright, adding the remnants of your 348th Regiment to the 19th Brigade is the meaning of the division, it is definitely not that I Xu has the intention of stumbling, but I can give you a chance, wargames, weapons, sand tables, homework on the map, choose any one, as long as you can win me, I can come forward to persuade the division seat and let him take back his life."

Lu Jianbang raised his head suddenly, and looked at Xu Shijiu in disbelief: "What do you say...... Seriously? ”

"Really" Xu Jiu's eyes were as sharp as a knife, piercing straight into Lu Jianbang's pupils, and said in a deep voice, "Wargames, sand tables, and homework on the map, you can choose any one, as long as you win me, I will persuade the division to let you go back to the old army."

"Okay" Lu Jianbang said categorically, "There are no tools here, and there is no sand table, so let's wargame."

Wargame was invented by a Prussian named Leswitz, and was introduced into actual combat after World War I, and soon after it became a compulsory course in every military school, of course, the Whampoa Military Academy also taught wargame, Lu Jianbang was still excellent in the assessment, and even the instructor often lost to him in the wargame deduction, and he never believed that Xu 19, a local guy, could win him.

Looking around, Lu Jianbang found that there were more than a dozen small dirt bags not far from the drying field, because the rain was washing, leaving a ravine on each soil bag, which was a complex mountain terrain, so he said: "Just use that piece of dirt bag as a map, the subject is mountain composite operations, and the strength is a division of the first type, plus an artillery regiment." ”

Xu Nineteen-two didn't say a word, turned around and walked towards the small dirt bag.

Seeing Xu Shijiu's casual appearance, Lu Jianbang was inexplicably a little nervous, has this guy also learned wargaming? But then Lu Jianbang overturned his idea again, impossible, Xu Shijiu has not received a systematic military academy education at all, how can he contact the advanced subject of wargame?

Half an hour later, another company commander of the 348th Regiment, Mu Enguang, also rushed over.

Mu Enguang and Lu Jianbang are both infantry scientists in the 11th phase of the Central Military Academy, but Lu Jianbang is the first regiment, and he graduated two months earlier than Mu Enguang in the second regiment.

Mu Enguang originally thought that even if the brawl was over after coming over, Xu Nineteen would probably not give up, and Mu Enguang even thought that Xu Nineteen would take advantage of the topic to play and give them the remnants of the 348 Regiment a dismount, thinking of this, Mu Enguang smiled coldly in his heart, if Xu Nineteen thought that this would make them soft, it would be a big mistake.

But when Mu Enguang rushed to the drying field to take a look, he was dumbfounded, the scene was too different from what he imagined.

I saw Xu 19 and Lu Jianbang standing among the dozen or so small earthen bags on the edge of the drying field with a bamboo pole in their hands, pointing at one of the small earthen bags, and explaining in their mouths, Xu 19, the little orderly who was not yet 16 years old, was running around between the small earthen bags with a bundle of branches, and was so busy that he was sweating profusely.

and Zhang Youquan, who was fighting with Lu Jian's gang, stood next to him like a goose.

After seeing it clearly, Mu En was stunned, looking at this situation, could it be that the two were engaged in war games?

The question is, is it possible? Lu Jianbang graduated from the Central Military Academy, and wargame is a compulsory subject, which is not surprising, but Xu Shijiu is just a wild man, how can he be wargaming? With such a question, Mu Enguang didn't stop at his feet, and soon he walked up to Xu Shijiu and Lu Jibang, and also heard the exchange of words between the two.

I saw Xu Shijiu pointing to the branch inserted in the middle of the two small earthen bags with the bamboo pole in his hand and said: "Company Commander Lu, your main regiment is blocked in front of you, there are chasing soldiers in the back, and the reinforcements are blocked twenty miles away, according to the rules of mountain warfare, this regiment can already be judged to have been completely annihilated, right?" And your artillery regiment, I'm afraid it won't be able to break out, right? ”

Lu Jianbang was silent for a long time, and the expression on his face was even more embarrassing.

The little madman strode over, proudly pulled out the branch representing the "main force of the Lu Division" from the ground, and turned around to pull out another branch representing the "Lu Division Artillery Regiment" not far away, and saw that the two branches were pulled out, Lu Jianbang's mouth opened but he couldn't say anything, it was like this, and it was superfluous to say anything.

Mu Enguang tugged at Lu Jianbang's sleeve and wanted to ask him what was going on, but Lu Jianbang didn't react.

Li Mu, the communications platoon commander nicknamed "Li Yifeng", suddenly ran over and told Xu Shijiu that the division commander was looking for him.

Xu Shijiu pointed to his feet with the bamboo pole in his hand, and said to Lu Jianbang: "Company Commander Lu, do you want to continue?" ”

"No need." Lu Jianbang threw the bamboo pole in his hand to the ground, and said very crisply, "I have already lost." ”

Xu Shijiu smiled, and walked away with the confused Zhang Youquan, Li Mu and the little madman who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and when the four of them walked away, Mu Enguang nudged Lu Jianbang, frowned and asked: "What happened to Lao Lu just now, you and Xu Shijiu are engaged in a war game deduction, am I not mistaken?"

"See for yourself." Lu Jianbang pointed to the map under his feet.

Mu Enguang lowered his head and carefully observed the ground under his feet, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, these dozen small dirt bag communities seemed to have been set up as a map of mountain warfare, cliffs, forests, rivers, and grasslands were clearly marked, and more than a dozen small dirt bags even had elevation settings, and it was estimated that there were artillery soldiers participating in the setting.

"Is this possible?" Mu Enguang couldn't believe it.

"I don't believe it either, but it's true." Lu Jianbang breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he wanted to vent the depression in his chest in this breath, and said, "Brother Enguang, don't look at Xu Shijiu who has never gone to a military school, but his military theoretical foundation is not inferior to you and me in the slightest, and his actual combat experience, tactical application, and command attainments are far above you and me. ”

"Brother Jianbang, you shouldn't change your mind, right?" Mu Enguang said worriedly, "We're talking about haode." ”

"I am willing to gamble and lose, since I lost to Xu Shijiu, I have to bear the consequences of losing, I decided to stay." After Lu Jianbang finished speaking, he walked back, walked a few steps and turned around, and said, "Brother Enguang, in fact, wherever you fight devils, you are fighting, whether it is the 348th regiment or the independent battalion, everyone belongs to the same national army sequence, what is the difference?" ”

On the way back to the headquarters, the little madman asked Xu Shijiu: "Captain, will he stay with Company Commander Lu?" ”

"What else do you need to say?" Without waiting for Xu Shijiu to answer, Zhang Youquan hurriedly said, "Didn't you see it just now, Lu Jiangang lost that guy's face was green, if he dares to repay the account, don't think about mixing in the national army in the future." ”

The little madman asked with great fascination, "Captain, you were playing chess just now?" ”

"Yes." Xu Jiu smiled, "But it's much more complicated than ordinary chess." ”

The little madman asked with great hope, "Captain, can you teach me to play chess like this?" ”

"Okay, but you have to read with your sister Yaqin first." Xu Nineteen said, "When you recognize all the 3,600 words on the vocabulary list, I will teach you to play wargames." ”

"Huh?" The little madman's face immediately fell.
