Now, Liu Hanying, Zuo Wenlu and others are watching the drills of the 79th Brigade with expressionless expressions with extremely complicated feelings. It's a peculiar way of exercising. More than 300 officers and men have been practicing for more than two hours with their guns and stabbing each other, and all of them are simple movements, that is, they are inevitably stabbing forward, like taking off a rabbit, and reaping like a dragon, over and over again, every move is more ferocious than the other. More than 300 people did not roar in the more than two hours of drill, and did not burst out into shouts of rushing and killing like other teams.
As a rule of thumb, the act of practicing assassination is accompanied by a roar, an uncontrollable visceral bore. But the 79th Brigade didn't, what about their bobbies, where did their surging murderous aura go? After staring at it for a long time, Liu Hanying seemed to understand - their roars all rolled in their hearts like thunder. From their taut copper-colored faces, from their sprints eager to pierce the mountains, from their flame-spewing eyes, Liu Hanying saw with horror something that he was no stranger to—hatred.
Hate - hate?
Yes, hate. If it weren't for hatred, a force wouldn't be so silent; If it weren't for hatred, an army wouldn't be so ferocious; If it weren't for hatred, an army wouldn't be so strong. As a soldier, Liu Hanying knows better than others that the army really needs hatred too much, and an army without hatred cannot win a war. Hatred, often the soul of a fighting force, is the banner that leads them into the zone of death through a hail of bullets. Hatred is the religion of the army.
And the hatred of the 79th Brigade, especially the hatred in the hearts of Shi Yunbiao and Mo Ganshan, is huge.
Liu Hanying clearly saw that in this team of more than 300 people, there were Shi Yunbiao and Mo Ganshan, who were also murderous with spears, and even new members such as Ma Shangshan, Chen Mohan and Wang Xicun, who had only joined the army not long ago, and those young faces were actually cast with hatred.
In Liu Hanying's impression, Shi Yunbiao, Mo Ganshan, and the squadron leaders and squad leaders of the 79th Brigade seemed to exist among their soldiers all the time. It was they who were instilling that precious and terrible thing in the soldiers of the 79th Brigade all the time—hatred and hatred.
The white horses have passed through the gaps, the stars have changed, the veterans have become the backbone, the recruits have become veterans, and the spirit of hatred that solidifies them together has been passed down from thread to thread and will never die. As a result, the 79th Brigade became a truly hateful force. Truly hateful troops are contemptuous of everything, and can be killed but not humiliated.
Moreover, the 79th Brigade also has a unique and self-contained strategy for governing the military.
Liu Hanying once studied the roots of Shi Yunbiao, Mo Ganshan and others. There were almost no Whampoa officers in the original 79th Army, and even those from the Baoding Military Academy were rare. However, there is a strange feature of this army, that is, officers at and above the level must read Qi Jiguang's "Actual Record of Military Training" and "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness"; officers at and above the battalion level must be able to recite certain chapters; and officers from regiment to army must be familiar with Kong Ming's "General Garden." In non-combat situations, a large class should be held once a month.
Two months ago, Liu Hanying went to the 79th Brigade to inspect, and from a distance, it was the shaved Mo Ganshan and the officers above the platoon who also shaved their heads were shaking their heads and reciting - the husband is the way of the general, the military well has not been drawn, and the general will not be thirsty; If the military food is not cooked, it will not be hungry; Before the arms are met, there will be no cold; If the military curtain is not applied, it will not be difficult; I don't fan in summer, and I don't cover it in the rain......
Liu Hanying was quite unimpressed at the time, and disdainfully believed that this was a rigid copy of the ancients' principles of governing the army, which was both rigid and rigid, and full of sour and rotten gas. But it wasn't long before Liu Hanying realized that he was wrong.
These people in the 79th Army did not believe in the party-state leader but respected the traditional generals. Wu Peimei, the former commander of the army, often told his subordinates the story of "the good generals of the past used the soldiers, and those who gave the mash made the people drink with the soldiers". These stories are deeply rooted in people's hearts. Whether it is Wu Peimei or the division commanders and brigade commanders, until Shi Yunbiao and Mo Ganshan's generation, they all eat and drink with the soldiers. Repeated indoctrination, combined with the influence of the officers' own actions, led to the formation of a religion of their own. The great injustice of Mengqitian is still full of grief and indignation, and the remnants of the 79th Army are as pure as water.
Since it was incorporated into the 79th Brigade, Liu Hanying has not discovered that an officer of the 79th Brigade is greedy, that there is not a single officer of the 79th Brigade who smokes a lot, and that there is not a single officer and soldier of the 79th Brigade who is prostituting and gambling. What Liu Hanying saw the most was Shi Yunbiao and Mo Ganshan squatting together with the soldiers to eat. Shi Yunbiao has a mantra - soldiers eat meat, officers eat vegetables; Soldiers eat dry, officers eat thin; The soldiers eat thinly, and the officers drink water.
It's horrible.
Such a force, like an iron bucket, is bound by a spirit of excellence. They have hatred, and they have blood in their hearts. As long as you don't tell the truth about the Tojo Mountain Incident clearly, as long as their hatred is still in their hearts and their knots are still in their chests, then they will not be able to be of the same heart and mind with you.
Why be silent? Silence is not acquiescence, it does not mean that it cools down after swallowing a mouthful of hot blood. Knocking out the front teeth and swallowing blood is not swallowed for nothing. The longer the silence and the deeper the repression, the greater the power of the hatred that eventually erupts. As the highest military and political official in the Bump Mountain area, Liu Hanying is very aware of this.
