Chapter 005: Crossing to the Republic of China (5)
At that time, Wang Zhenyu was sweating all over his head after hearing this, and a small epaulette could have so much attention. I used to boast that I was proficient in history, but now I don't know anything about the military system of the new army at the end of the Qing Dynasty. What kind of battle is this? This history textbook is really deadly, except for the exam, it has no effect, and it dares to steal history as a subject, at best, it is just a chronology of historical events. But this person is already involuntary in the rivers and lakes, and he has to pretend to understand if he doesn't understand, and he has a cheap cousin who knows everything by his side, so if he doesn't understand, he can ask him quietly.
It is worth noting that the collar badges of these soldiers under his command are currently blank, which is different from the new army in Hubei. In order to effectively distinguish between the upper and lower levels, the new army in Hubei has all been issued with the civilian army badges urgently designed and newly made by the military government.
The Hunan army aiding Hubei came from Changsha, and there was no time to design or issue any new collar badges to distinguish between the inferior and the inferior. As with most of the rebel New Army of the same period, it was simply a matter of tearing off the original Qing Dynasty dragon emblem and collar badge on the collar.
Wang Zhenyu also noticed that the outfits of these soldiers were very similar to the Japanese soldiers in the series of documentaries on the First Sino-Japanese War that he watched in later generations, carrying marching boxes with marching quilts, a marching kettle diagonally on their shoulders, and tight leggings on their calves, which were said to ensure that long-distance marches would not cause leg numbness. Is this considered a Japanese product, should you smash it and destroy it? Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but think maliciously.
The military uniforms are uniformly blue-gray, which is not much different from the Beiyang Army. Wang Zhenyu was quite worried about this, thinking that if the two armies launched hand-to-hand combat, wouldn't it be a big trouble, and how should they distinguish between the enemy and the enemy at that time?
However, judging from these details alone, the Qing Dynasty has made a lot of effort to learn from the great powers.
Well, it's hard to say whether the Chinese are good at learning, and being good at imitating at this moment is indeed for Wang Zhenyu to see with his own eyes.
The officers and men of the four infantry units and the personnel directly under the battalion headquarters quickly assembled in the open field and carried out the counting maneuver. The star officer on duty today is Yang Wangui, the head of the left team, and I saw him trotting in front of Wang Zhenyu, turned around and saluted and said: "Report to Lord Guan, the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion should be 754 people, but the actual number is 754." After the queue, please advise! ”
This Wang Zhenyu understands that this is the way to play junior high school military training, and now I know that everyone thought that the simple military regulations were not original to our army in later generations, but have a long history. He came back to his senses, and immediately sat up straight on his horse and replied: "All of them, stand upright, and take a break." ”
Boom, boom, more than 700 people neatly posed for a while, sounding very imposing. Suddenly Wang Zhenyu felt his hot blood rushing in his body. Haha, who was chased by the city management all over the streets in later generations, is now an officer, and he is still in charge of nearly 800 people. Ya, if the city management still dares to chase Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will give an order, and this Hula 7 or 800 brother will rush out, and he will not be scared to death by those dogs. Uh, distracted again.
As a pro-soldier, his cousin Ma Xicheng stood beside Wang Zhenyu, and when he saw that the Guan Belt didn't speak for a long time, he hurriedly coughed a few times to remind him.
Wang Zhenyu realized that the environment he was in now was by no means a realm that could be understood, and he tried to adjust his mentality, and also learned from the common officials in later generations, and first coughed vigorously.
Everyone's attention was very obviously concentrated, and Wang Zhenyu laughed secretly in his heart, this trick seems to be common in ancient and modern times, so it will be easy to do.
Looking at these more than 700 pairs of eyes, Wang Zhenyu, who has experience in speaking in the group, knows that he must not be nervous when there are many people in this kind of situation. Once you are nervous, you will show timidity, and the words you say will naturally not carry enough weight, and it is no different from farting.
It was just a declaration of marching discipline, he tried his best to keep himself calm and then said loudly: "According to the military order of Commander-in-Chief Huang of the wartime headquarters and the commander-in-chief of our aid Hubei and Hunan Army, our battalion will be stationed at Qinduankou on the same day, and the officers and men of each team must pay attention to the marching discipline, no one shall leave the ranks without permission under any pretext, and all actions must obey the military order and obey the commander's command. ”
After speaking, Wang Zhenyu didn't bother to know how to go with the piano broken, and directly ordered it to be pulled out in high spirits.
Wang Zhenyu walked at the front of the camp with great pleasure, and the pleasure brought by that kind of spirit was filling his chest, this kind of majestic feeling that he had never had in the future generations!
It was the guide sent by the General Headquarters who found out that the problem was that the pipe band had gone the wrong way. Before the entire march direction was completely divergent, the guide hesitated for a moment and still had the courage to step forward and remind: "Wang Guan Belt, Wang Guan Belt, you are on the wrong path!" We should have turned the right fork in the road! ”
Wang Zhenyu Khan, he glanced at him fiercely, dry, you old boy didn't say it earlier, I thought I was right, fortunately, I didn't go too far, otherwise Lao Tzu would have made a big talk......
Wang Zhenyu immediately ordered the left team that had not yet crossed the fork in the road to turn right, while he and the personnel directly under the battalion headquarters rested in place and followed the whole battalion. As for the confused guide who was thought to have failed to fulfill his obligation to remind himself in time, he was sent to the left team to lead the way by Wang Zhenyu, a road blind.
It was already noon when they arrived in the small town of Qinduankou, and the local residents, after being mobilized by liaison officers and squires sent by the military government, voluntarily or involuntarily vacated about half of their houses for the Hunan army to live in. In this way, Wang Zhenyu will not have the opportunity to see the touching scene of my heroic and invincible benevolent army stationed in Shanghai but sleeping on the main road in the later movie "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".
The battalion headquarters of the second battalion was located in the courtyard of a local gentry, the yard was not large, and there were two rows of earthen low houses outside the two-story wooden houses, which was quite good in the local area.
In addition, the local gentry also sent ten big fat pigs, saying that the people of the town had offered them to reward the righteous soldiers of the people's army. Wang Zhenyu's understanding of the people's army not taking a stitch and thread from the masses is not to take the needles and threads of the people, so in addition to the needles and threads, they naturally laughed at everything, and did not forget to inform the cooking class to add food at night, and first kill the three heads of fat to improve the food of the brothers.
Although he has never eaten pork, he has always seen it, and Wang Zhenyu has also watched military-themed TV series similar to Liangjian in later generations. Not only did he have the same example of sending scouts around the garrison to the perimeter of the station, but he also doubled the number of posts at both ends of the town by his own order.
By the way, special emphasis is also placed on the addition of dark posts. However, looking at the stunned expressions on the faces of Yang Wangui and the others, this move seemed a little unreasonable.
Because the two battalions of Lu Diping and Liang Xiqiu were stationed not far away, and judging from the position of the defense, even if there was a real enemy attack, they would be the first to encounter it. Since that's the case, what kind of secret post will be set up? Take your pants off and fart? The team members have recently found that there are more and more thorns under their hands, and under normal circumstances, it is better not to drive these soldiers to do things.
When the team members raised questions, Wang Zhenyu, who wanted to save face, could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and change the topic.
Under the pretext that something happened, he randomly threw down a self-made ancient saying: soldiers, the master of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored, and then took Ma Xicheng and them out for a walk. Although Yang Wangui didn't read much, he also boasted that he was a bit literate among the officers who were all old soldiers. He vaguely remembered that Sun Tzu's original words in the Art of War were not like this, and as soon as he took him away, he asked Song Xianfu, the captain of the right team, suspiciously: "What did we become the master of the country when we were soldiers?" Song Xianfu is an old soldier, five big and three thick, don't frown and think for a while, before he realized very seriously: "I understand what the master of the pipe belt means, it should be that as long as we follow his old man to fight the tartars well, we big-headed soldiers will not be far from the day of being uncles." Several other team officers pondered for a while, and also thought that this should be the meaning, so they nodded their heads in agreement......
Wang Zhenyu visited this late Qing town for the first time in his life, although this first time has been a bit much recently. For example, the first sip of water, the first bowl of rice or something......
Although it was a time of war, even Hankou, on the other side of the Han River, had the Qing army set a fire during the fighting last month and burned it clean. But in this town, the people are still living their own peaceful little life, and even today, when the army is stationed, you can still see many people on the streets busy with their own work, and there is no sign of avoiding the war disaster at all. Perhaps from the perspective of these ordinary people, no matter who comes and who leaves, who wins and who loses, no matter how lively the toss is, it is just a matter of paying taxes according to the rules for them. As for who is revolutionary and who is reactionary, they are really not interested in or have time to do that idle work.
With this effort, it is better to hurry up and dispose of the property at hand for a little money, weigh a pound of pork, mix it with half a pound of rice wine, and then fry three or five side dishes, set up a table in your own home, and call friends to come over and gather together.
Wang Zhenyu watched all the way, and Ma Xicheng followed behind with four other guards.
In fact, the town of Qinduankou is just such a street, not long or wide, and there is nothing unique about it. But Wang Zhenyu, who came from later generations, now feels fresh when he sees everything, and he can even see an antique taste of a signboard, so he won't mention anything else. Don't dislike it, Wang Zhenyu thought again while watching, this will be just putting himself here, if it is replaced by Yu Qiuyu, I am afraid that he will just look at it all the way, and his sigh will be even more powerful, don't say that he will borrow my life, it is estimated that the time for three lives is not enough for him to sigh!
Wang Zhenyu was looking down at the tiger hat worn by a child playing on the side of the road, and a noise came into his ears......
