37 [Unity is Strength]

This world has left everyone to turn, Yuan Pengfei went out to study, and the lives of the soldiers of the second battalion would not be affected, and they would still live like that.

In addition to hard training, vigilant standing guard and sentry are to help the villagers in the base areas to do farm work, carry water and chop firewood, and engage in the military and civilian families, and the common people have said that the Eighth Route Army is good.

In addition to these, of course, the most important entertainment in the army is indispensable - singing military songs.

In fact, this is also a tradition in the army, as early as when Yuan Shikai established the Beiyang Army, because the grassroots soldiers were illiterate, it was slightly difficult to learn infantry drills.

So there is a song "March Song",

The marching song, the march is taught, and all the soldiers must remember it. Now that guns are at stake, you can only do it by spreading the team.

If you get too close to the team, you must be careful, and you will walk and lie on the ground. The ground was only a few inches high, and it was easy to avoid the guns.

He also wants to dig a ditch to hide his body, and hide his body and beat people steadily. The ups and downs must be fast, making it difficult for the thieves to aim............ (Full Title)

This song can not only infect soldiers and boost morale; At the same time, it also contains operational tips, integrating infantry drill codes into it, so that soldiers can learn and familiarize themselves with modern combat norms while singing, so that the overall combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army has been improved.

As a dictatorial figure who grasps both the military and the government, and both hands are tough. In order to train the six towns of Beiyang under his command into a new-style army, which is different from the old-style army, Yuan Shikai composed a "Song of Persuasion".

Be filial to your son, and be loyal to your ministers. The imperial court borrowed national debts at the expense of heavy salaries to raise soldiers. A soldier eats and wears 100 taels, and the six grades of officials are generally the same. If you don't contribute to the country, heaven, earth, ghosts and gods will not be tolerated............

If you keep these words in mind, you will surely raise your head. If it is completely inadvertent, it is not merciful to fight lightly and kill hard. A persuasion should be a song, and it must be clear every word.

Coercion and temptation, catchy, can the soldiers not manage it well after listening to it! Do you dare not fight hard!

Of course, as the leader of the old warlords, how could Yuan Shikai be so superficial and make the soldiers loyal to the imperial court!

The first words of the Beiyang soldiers before the drill were: eat Yuan Dashuai's food, wear Yuan Dashuai's clothes, receive Yuan Dashuai's salary, and swear allegiance to Yuan Dashuai.

scared the Qin sent by the Qing government, and this is the time when Cixi forced Yuan Shikai to return to his hometown to recuperate.

I won't go into the details of the following, everyone knows that with the allegiance of the six towns of Beiyang and the toughest gun in the country, Yuan Shikai is a fake republic and a real dictatorship, and he also made a farce of restoration and was nailed to the pillar of shame.

However, the power of military songs can be seen, and later armies have created their own military songs, school songs, and party songs.

For example, the school song of the Whampoa Military Academy: The tide of anger is surging, the party flag is flying, this is the revolutionary Whampoa, the doctrine must be clear, discipline must not be relaxed, and be ready to be the vanguard of struggle............

Sing this school song, change into an officer uniform with fresh clothes and angry horses, and go to some local armies to say that you are a student of the Whampoa Military Academy, maybe you can get through the test in the dark and get a good treatment.

Enough of the other armies, in the end, I still have to say the military song of the Eighth Route Army.

The well-known "Three Disciplines, Eight Attentions" is the first song that all fighters learned.

This song tells the soldiers to pay attention to safeguarding the interests of the broad masses of the people, so that the people believe in the Eighth Route Army, and create people and advantages that other armies cannot match.

"March of the Volunteers" inspired the patriotic spirit of the Chinese people, and countless young people were inspired by this to devote themselves to the great cause of resistance against Japan, which later became the national anthem.

"March of the Broadsword", also known as "The Broadsword Cuts at the Devil's Head!" A song in praise of the 29th Army Broadsword, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment Broadsword Team liked this song the most.

It's a pity that there was no one on the battlefield to give them a soundtrack, otherwise they could have slashed off the devil's head with a big knife while singing this song.

"Song of the Guerrillas" is the most popular among the militia guerrillas, walking on the narrow dirt road of Gaogang Mountain, the small humming of individual soldiers can quickly turn into a chorus.

We are all sharpshooters, every bullet destroys an enemy, we are all flying troops, even if the mountains are high and the water is deep............

Because of the large number of guerrillas and the fact that it penetrates deeply among the people, this song can be said to be the most widely sung and the most familiar to the people.

However, from now on, the Eighth Route Army will add a new military song "Unity is Strength".

As soon as noon, Zhang Weiming, the propaganda officer of the brigade headquarters, rushed to the independent regiment and told Political Commissar Zhao the good news with a happy face.

"What, Yuan Pengfei can also write songs?"

Li Yunlong said that he didn't believe the news, and asked with a surprised face.

"Commander Li, don't you believe in your soldiers?" Zhang Weiming said with a serious face.

He has become a loyal fan of this song, and he has also become a die-hard fan of Yuan Pengfei. It's okay to say anything else, but this kind of questioning is something he will never allow.

can forget Li Yunlong's prestige completely, and dare to blow his beard and stare at him, you can imagine how loyal he is.

Zhao Gang saw that Li Yunlong was about to get angry, and hurriedly came out to play the round, "Director Zhang, don't mind, our old Li is also anxious, can you tell me the ins and outs of this?" ”

With Zhang Weiming's introduction with a smile on his face, Li Yunlong and Zhao just now knew how much credit Yuan Pengfei had made this time.

The division commander personally met and commended, the political commissar asked him if he was willing to stay, a song of 68 words, word for word, was transmitted to all directions through the radio, spread all over the motherland, Yuan Pengfei became famous with a song.

Of course, Yuan Pengfei, who was far away in the division, was actually distressed. It wasn't his original intention, but he didn't have a place to settle for this song! I can only be ashamed.

And the founding marshal-like big man, he has seen four or five of his efforts in the past few days. The political commissar of the division personally asked for his opinion, and if he wished, he could leave him at the division headquarters.

If he is a traverser and wants to mix up a good position, it is obviously more promising to stay in the division headquarters. The building near the water gets the first month, and he sways in front of the bigwigs every day, and the promotion speed can't slow down at all.

When he wins, maybe he can do it on Li Yunlong's head and become a lieutenant general. The worst can also be mixed with a major general. It's just that these can only be thought about in dreams.

No way, he still has two tasks on his back! Li Yunlong also needed his Italian artillery to attack Ping'an County, and he could only refuse the olive branch handed by the big guy with a regretful face.

Afterwards, he didn't want to mention how much hatred he had!

He can only comfort himself, it is not bad to mess with Li Yunlong, and it is more meaningful to command the second battalion to beat the little devils fiercely and avenge the broad masses of the people.

Of course, Officer Zhang did not only come to report a piece of news, but as a propaganda officer, his other task was to teach this song to the soldiers, so that they could also learn how to sing this song and appreciate the meaning that this song wanted to convey.

So, it didn't take a few days, but wherever there were soldiers of the independent regiment, there was the sound of this song.

Unity is strength, and unity is strength

This power is iron, and this strength is steel

Harder than iron, stronger than steel............
