Chapter 30 Martial Arts Competition
Wang Dongbei's initial purpose in coming to the Cadet Brigade was to ask Ouyang Yun to help hand over the raised funds to the rest of the National Salvation Army, but after spending two days in the Cadet Brigade, he changed his mind. This is also the reason why Ouyang Yun is not here when he is not here.
After many years in the army, his eyes are very poisonous, and he can see at a glance the difference of the cadet brigade. The training methods of the cadet brigade are unique, and many of the equipment is unheard of by him, and the training intensity and strictness far exceed the general standards. He imagined that if the soldiers of the National Salvation Army had such qualities, then the life of the little devil in the Northeast would not be easy. As soon as he thought about it, a thought lingered in his mind: could you ask the cadet brigade to help bring in the officers of the National Salvation Army, or ask them to send someone to give advice? If you use the raised money as a bargaining chip, there should be hope! He decided to find a chance to test it.
Wang Dongbei was lucky, no, Ouyang Yun actually came back, and took the initiative to talk to him and ask this question.
Ouyang Yun has always believed that in addition to hard training, the combat effectiveness of the troops also needs considerable actual combat to accumulate experience and expand the ranks of "veterans". His original plan was to send the recruits of the Cadet Brigade to the Yidong Special Police Column in batches for training, but now Wang Dongbei sent them to the door, and he thought that the National Salvation Army was on the front line, and only there could be real training people, so he came to Wang Dongbei with the attitude of trying it out to see if he could establish a cooperative relationship with the National Salvation Army.
The two sides "you have affection, I have intentions", and naturally hit it off. On this basis, Ouyang Yun also proposed that they could take the opportunity of training the team to provide equipment for the National Salvation Army, and the specific operation was also simple. The National Salvation Army and other anti-Japanese armed forces in the Northeast have always been a major problem because of geographical reasons (surrounded by the Japanese puppet army, and they have always been able to fight to support the war), and the replenishment of military funds has always been a major problem.
After the two sides reached a verbal agreement on behalf of the Cadet Brigade and the National Salvation Army, Wang Dongbei stayed in the Cadet Brigade with peace of mind, waiting for the first batch of trainee troops of the Cadet Brigade to go north.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon of July 8, the first regiment of the military police, which was tabooed by Ji Xingwen, arrived at Renqiu as scheduled. It is worthy of Lao Jiang's heart, as soon as the first regiment of the military police appeared, the people of Beiping and Renqiu were thundered. More than 2,000 people, all dressed in submachine guns, traveling in trucks, wearing steel helmets and brand-new military uniforms, sang military songs all the way from the Beiping Railway Station to the Renqiu Barracks.
In the face of such a military appearance of the First Regiment of the Military Police, the generals of the 29th Army who were fortunate enough to witness it couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts, and some couldn't help but think: When did Lao Tzu also have such a unit, then now the little devil still dares to be so presumptuous? Hey, it's really Lang Fei for such an army to be in someone's hands. The officers and men of the 29th Army all knew that the reason why Lao Jiang sent this strong army to Renqiu was not to fight against Japan and fight devils, but to rob the treasure plate of the 29th Army, and they naturally inevitably complained in their hearts.
The dignity of the first regiment of the military police, Tu Feiyuan was also fortunate to see it. Before this, he had just learned about the fiat currency reform, and Benzheng felt that he had been fooled and was on fire - the national government's fiat currency reform measures, to put it bluntly, were to exchange silver dollars from all over the country for paper money, and then transport the silver dollars to the Shanghai treasury in a unified manner, and use legal tender instead of silver dollars to circulate in the market. If this reform is really implemented in North China, then the so-called "North China High Autonomy Program" will inevitably lose the soil for survival, and it means that all his efforts will be in vain.
The name of the Chinese military police has been famous for a long time, and at this time, he was not only angry but also a little afraid, because since Lao Jiang was willing to send such an elite force, it meant that he was determined to fight against Japan - if China and Japan really started a full-scale war at this time, what would be the result?! Even if he was bold, he didn't dare to think much about this question. Realizing that the trump card of "using force" this time was estimated to be ineffective, Tu Feiyuan decided to open a gap from Song Zheyuan instead. Once the fiat currency reform is implemented in North China, it is not only the Japanese who will be harmed, but the 29th Army will bear the brunt. Forget it directly. Thinking about it this way, he felt that maybe Song Zheyuan needed to add fire from the side to take the opportunity to escape from the control of the Nationalist Government, so he directly blocked Song Zheyuan in the house in Xishan, and threatened in front of his guards and staff: Since the Nationalist Government has violated the "Hemei Agreement" and resent troops to Hebei, then the Japanese army already has a reason to send troops. If Song Zheyuan does not declare the autonomy of North China today, then he will immediately telegraph the Kwantung Army to go south!
Song Zheyuan was also quite annoyed by Lao Jiang Lai's hand, Tu Feiyuan's threat at this time came at the right time for him, he felt that it was time to take a stand, and in a fit of anger, he sent a telegram, demanding that the political training be ended and the government should be returned to the people.
This was tantamount to a disguised declaration of independence, and as soon as this telegram came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and it directly triggered a second student movement.
And no matter how these politicians bargained, entangled their personal fate with the fortunes of the country and chattered endlessly (readers probably don't like to read it, and Xizhi is tired of writing), let's get back to the point, just say that the Second Regiment of the Military Police rushed to the Renqiu military camp under the leadership of the regiment commander Zhang Zhen, but at the gate of the camp, they were stopped by the sentry. The sentry of the cadet brigade did not care which green onion the other party was, stopped the convoy with his gun, and negotiated with the officers of the second regiment who got off the car: military important places, idle people and others are not allowed to enter, if they are visitors, please register and make a register, no one will trespass without the warrant of the minister.
Zhang Zhen was prepared for such a scene, signaled his subordinates not to worry, let the soldiers get out of the car to rest, and then personally walked into the sentry post to fill in the application for entering the camp.
Ouyang Yun went to the steel factory today, and now it is Li Tieshu who is in charge. About a quarter of an hour later, he came to the door and welcomed Zhang Zhen and the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment inside. As for how to get along with the second regiment, Ouyang Yun and the others negotiated and finally decided on the principle of not being humble or arrogant, and not violating the river water. Therefore, Li Tieshu showed moderate affection, and after the routine salute and greetings after meeting, he did not accept the title of "master" of the other party, and directly led them into an idle barracks.
On the way to the barracks, passing by the playground, Zhang Zhen saw that nearly 2,000 people were sitting on the ground in a three-square formation, and among them, dozens of soldiers were throwing bombs into a circle painted with lime in turn. ”
This is actually a routine competition of the Cadet Brigade, and there is no special intention, Li Tieshu listened to the voice, and knew that Zhang Zhen must have thought that he was demonstrating to them, he smiled and nodded, without explaining too much.
There are five regular competitions, including shooting, bomb throwing, assassination and fighting, and armed cross-country are divided into individuals and groups, and the Red and Blue Army only compete against groups.
Zhang Zhen and the other officers of the 2nd Regiment really thought that this was the Cadet Brigade demonstrating against them, so they paid close attention to it, and the result surprised them a lot. Take bomb throwing as an example, regardless of whether the soldiers who participated in the competition were selected or not, more than 100 soldiers (group shooting competitions in squads) could reach the level of god pitchers, which is not something that ordinary troops can have.
The first place in the bomb throwing individual was Zhang Dali of the 3rd Regiment and 1st Battalion, and the 20 bomb drops at a distance of 83 meters and 60 meters were in the center of the circle, which made a company commander named Single Male in the 2nd Military Police Regiment have the heart to win, and he stood up and asked Zhang Zhen to have a competition with Zhang Dali.
Zhang Zhen first scolded him with a smile and scolded him for not understanding the rules and being competitive, and then looked at Li Tieshu and said, "Master, look? ”
Li Tieshu glanced at the single male who was five big and three thick, first corrected Zhang Zhen's title, asked him not to call himself that anymore, and then said, "Then let's have a try." ”
Anyone who is a soldier is not competitive, and he still carries the honor of his headquarters. Since the commanders of both sides agreed, the single male was not polite, rolled up his sleeves, walked to the middle of the field, and said to Zhang Dali: "Let's try the distance first!" After speaking, he picked up a solid grenade from the frame on the left, and was about to throw it with his arm rounded, but was stopped by Zhang Dali. Zhang Dali smiled and said, "Sir, use the grenade in this box to throw the distance." ”
The single male asked strangely, "Is there anything different?" "I changed a grenade from the frame on my right hand, and then my face changed.
Zhang Zhen saw that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The single male's black face turned red, and he said a little cowardly: "This grenade is aggravated, I admit defeat." ”
Zhang Zhen sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Li Tieshu hurriedly explained: "The throwing distance is the strength of the hand, and there is not much skill to speak of, so we increased the weight." Because the accuracy of the throwing is related to the actual combat problem, the grenade retains its original weight. ”
Zhang Zhen was a little embarrassed and said, "I see." Remembering that the soldier of the Cadet Brigade who participated in the throwing distance competition just now had the closest throw over 70 meters, he was determined to win and let the single male try it to see how far he could throw.
The solo male has lost his confidence, and the result of this throw is only about 65 meters. The soldiers of the second regiment saw that he could not even compare with the last one of the people, and they all felt that their faces were dull, and their majestic and high-spirited momentum was greatly affected for a while, and many people's faces turned dark.
Li Tieshu was amused when he saw it, and he had the heart to explain the reason to comfort them, and after thinking about it, he changed his mind, thinking that it would be good to hit the morale of the other party, who knows if Lu Dao will work together in the future?
The cadets who participated in today's martial arts competition, usually practiced this weighted grenade, used to it, the results were naturally excellent, the first time a single male saw it, it must not be used to it, the level was at least nine percent off, this is the main reason for his defeat.
