Chapter 154: Dog Tags

"What's this?"

Lin Yu, who served as the flag bearer at the military parade in Chang'an, walked forward while fiddling with the iron plaque he hung around his neck.

This black iron plaque was issued before today's expedition, and it is still engraved with words, and it seems to be different for everyone.

When they received the cards, everyone was told that this iron card was very important to them, and they should never lose it unless they died in battle.

As for the specific role and usage, it will be communicated by the chief when he arrives at today's camping site.

After two hours of driving, Lin Yu, who couldn't suppress his curiosity, stretched his head in front of Shi Chang with this iron card, and asked his own question, what is this.

As a result, as soon as Shi Chang turned around, he saw Lin Yu who was probing his brain and his armor crooked in the marching army column, and his face turned black directly, this kid is taking marching discipline as a meal!

is also a Mo knife soldier, Shi Chang hesitated, but in the end he was reluctant to pick up the Mo knife, and instead picked up the large sapper shovel he was carrying, and smashed it against Lin Yu's head.

"Phew!"

"Melon cowardice, put on the iron jacket, do you feel that no one can control you when you leave the camp? Let the captain see your appearance as a hanger, not only yourself, but Lao Tzu will also be punished! If Lao Tzu is beaten with a military stick, you see that Lao Tzu will not break your melon baby's dog's leg! ”

This sapper shoveled sturdy, and with Shi Chang's thick Jiannandao accent, Lin Yu, who felt that he was about to be concussed, and his whole brain was buzzing, suddenly buckled the iron crate on his head.

Military appearance and military discipline are not a joke, being seen by the captain is at most a military stick, in case it is seen by those guys wearing white armbands, it is not only a matter of military sticks......

"There are pack horses that can help pack the equipment, today's thirty-mile journey is at most two and a half hours, and then half an hour will be to the camp, and then I will tell you your dog tag, now you straighten your waist for Lao Tzu, and walk well!"

The small episode of the march flashed by, but it was true that the chief had said that he would still have half an hour to reach the camp.

In fact, with the flatness of the Guanzhong Plain, the large number of pack horses, the assistance of full-time auxiliary troops, and sufficient preparation and planning, the main force of the Changying Army on the target Bizhou Road marched much faster than expected.

"General, depending on the current situation, you should be able to reach the first preset camp in the afternoon."

"It was faster than I expected, at least an hour earlier than I expected!"

"General, in the plains, three hours of marching thirty miles, it shouldn't be fast for us, this road didn't take three hours when we practiced together!"

"You, this is the first real expedition of the Changying Army, this speed is amazing, I am afraid that I can walk at least forty miles today."

"I originally thought that after resting for half an hour, I would march another thirty miles......

"After resting, march thirty miles?"

After seeing Guo Rong nodding a little embarrassed, Li Yu was stunned at first, shook his head helplessly, and then smiled.

"Sixty miles a day, you're too anxious! With the quality and training of the Changying Army, it is absolutely no problem to travel 60 miles a day on the plains, and I am confident in this, but not now, how can I say that I will rest for half an hour and then ...... to the army for 30 miles......"

"It's no problem to be a veteran of the chief, they know how to distribute physical strength reasonably, but we have too many recruits, accounting for more than eighty percent, although you are steady, but you are also a young man, and you also know how the young man's heart is."

"The first day of the expedition is the most exciting, once the physical strength is not well distributed, it will affect the back, after walking sixty miles, tomorrow I am afraid they will not even be able to walk thirty miles."

"Then, General, how much more should we go today?"

"After resting, ten or twenty miles can be, in this way, after starting again, you go to the front army, don't look at the map of the reconnaissance camp, you choose a camp by yourself, it can be regarded as my test for you."

……………………………………………………………………

After more than two hours of marching, Lin Yu's team finally drove into the camping place.

Lin Yu, who was not very stable on the road, was even more excited when he arrived at the camp.

Compared with Lin Yu's recruits, after seeing that the sappers were not camped, Shi Chang immediately understood that this was not the final camping site.

Seeing that his head was spinning like a monitor, instead of sitting down and resting, Lin Yu's brain felt a headache, and when he saw Shi Chang looking at him, Lin Yu immediately grabbed his iron card and rushed to Shi Chang's side.

"What the hell is this?"

Lin Yu asked in one sentence, and all the eyes of everyone gathered.

Seeing this scene, Shi Chang had an idea,

"Come over if you want to hear it, one by one stretches your neck like a goose, is it good-looking?"

Seeing that the nine Mo sword soldiers under his command were all around, Shi Chang nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the iron card held by Lin Yu.

"You know what it's called?"

"I don't know! Didn't say it in the morning. ”

"Has anyone seen the waist tag on the captain?"

"Yes!"

"This is called an identification card, also called a military membership card, which is similar to the waist card on the captain's body!"

As he spoke, he took off the iron card hanging around his neck, held it in his hand, and put it in the palm of his hand, and then pointed to the middle of the card with his finger.

"Do you see the two words here, Xu Li, Lao Tzu's name, the top three words are Changyingjun, and the bottom is ......"

"What's the chief, why are you two more words than me!"

Before Lin Yu's words fell, Shi Chang Xu Li's big hand slapped on Lin Yu's head at once.

"Melon coward, that's what's long, when you become a long, you'll have it, don't interrupt Lao Tzu!"

Then the chief turned the OEM over the card.

"Recruited in the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan, Jiannan Road, Shu County, Yizhou, Chengdu County."

"Oh my God, how do you know these words?"

"You can all go to sleep at night, Lao Tzu is going to follow the instructor to read, is it strange to know such a few words?"

Seeing the surprised and adoring eyes of his subordinates, Xu Li was extremely useful, but Xu Li regretted it in his heart, why didn't he learn to recognize more words at that time, and when he learned to recognize words again at night, he must study hard and can't sleep anymore......

"What's the length, can we learn?"

"When you have military merits, I will go to the lieutenant and instructor to apply for you, Yue Longgang, what do you think is the benefit of this thing now......

"Chief Xu, the captain calls all the military academies!"

Hearing the herald's words, Xu Li quickly got up, glanced at the direction of the herald's finger, turned his head and said to his own soldier beside him.

"You're continuing to talk about the role of dog tags, and I'll see what you can discuss!"

With that, Xu Li, the head of the group, ran towards the position of the regimental captain, and the same scene appeared throughout the camp.

The lieutenant, who had just received the order from Guo Rong, was passing on the order.

"After the whole army rests for two quarters of an hour, it will continue to set off, and continue to move no more than twenty miles, especially the commanders need to let the recruits adjust their mentality and let them adapt to the long march as soon as possible.

After hearing the exact order, Xu Li breathed a sigh of relief, an hour is too long, two quarters of an hour to solve the meal, adjust the state, the time is just right.

When Xu Li returned, Shri was discussing it hotly.

"After two quarters of an hour's rest, we'll continue our journey, and we'll probably have to walk another twenty miles today."

Although no one directly expressed dissatisfaction, the sense of loss was widespread.

"However, Zhonglang will ask the cooking classes of each regiment to prepare hot soup, does anyone want to get it?"

Sure enough, when I heard the hot soup, my sense of loss was mostly reduced.

When you are tired, when you are lost, the effect of a bowl of hot soup is far from being comparable to usual, plus Xu Li began to desperately guide the topic.

"I don't know why it's called a dog tag, I also listened to what the instructor said, this thing can identify you, to put it mildly, if you really die in battle, as long as this thing is still on the body can be identified, the family can receive a bereavement pension and a field......"

"The instructor said that this thing was proposed by Zhonglang, and the instructor originally thought that this thing would only be done if he came back from Pizhou this time, but now it seems that Zhonglang will go to the emperor in advance......"

Although it is not a good thing, everyone knows that the generous pension has an unusually significant effect on morale, and when the chief finishes speaking, everyone's cherishing of dog tags has risen sharply.

"The instructor seems to be very powerful!"

"Of course, either they are all students of Han Changshi, and the instructor of our regiment is that Zhonglang will snatch from Taixue, both civil and military, and he can write well, it is said that it is a hundred times better than Zhonglang's handwriting!"

"The instructor said that if you want to write a letter to your family in the future, you can go directly to him,"

When the hot soup is drunk in the mouth, warmed up to the stomach, eats the jerky, nibbles on the flatbread, and listens to the spittle and the deeds of the instructor, the whole thing is full of momentum when the two quarters of an hour have passed.

After starting again, because of the different abilities of different officers, the team with a total number of more than 10,000 people showed a completely different state.

After an hour and a half of marching, Li Yu and the engineer battalion directly under the military government arrived at the camp selected by Guo Rong.

Although it is not in the recommended position marked by the reconnaissance battalion in advance, although it is not particularly easy to defend and difficult to attack, the terrain, water sources and other places basically meet the requirements, and Li Yu gave Guo Rong a qualified evaluation.

The soldiers were then on alert, the cooking squad was cooking, the cavalry and reconnaissance battalions patrolled the perimeter, and the sappers began to quickly set up the camp with the help of the auxiliaries.

On the first day, Chenshi set out on time, camped at Shenshi, marched about forty-three miles, and the reconnaissance battalion maintained a warning range of thirty miles.

On the second day, the march of forty-eight miles arrived at Liquan County.

On the third day, the march was fifty-three miles and arrived in Fengtian County. Leave a logistics regiment in Mukden and set up the first logistics transfer station.

On the fourth day, it marched north from Mukden and entered the mountainous area north of the Guanzhong Plain, and the alert range of the reconnaissance battalion was raised to 50 li.
