Chapter 31 Formation Practice
Author: Apple Atang
The soldier returned to the main account and reported to the commander. Liu Zhihe said angrily: "This dandy spends money like this. Hmph."
The next day, everyone followed Zhao Xinghe to the training ground.
Zhao Xinghe said: "We will start practicing formation today."
Everyone looked at each other, "What is formation? Is it a formation?" someone asked.
Zhao Xinghe said: "It's not the formation, it's the formation."
Everyone looked at each other and said, "Okay, tell me how to practice."
Zhao Xinghe said: "Three people in a group, six people in a group, back to back."
No one understood: "What three people, six people?"
Zhao Xinghe pointed out three people, "Come here." He positioned himself. "Look, everyone, three people are gathered together, back to back." He said, "When we usually fight, we fight alone, front, back, left and right."
There may be enemies. If you block the front, you can't block the back. But if you stand like this, your back and sides will be protected by your comrades. You only need to concentrate on blocking the enemies in front. Three people in one
Form a group, cooperate with each other, move to the left together, or move to the right together. The front, rear, left, and right must be coordinated. Everyone's formation remains unchanged, and each other's protection can be completed. You cooperate with him, he cooperates with you, and we advance and retreat together."
Everyone understood: "Then why do we still practice in groups of six?"
Zhao Xinghe said: "The battlefield is very dangerous. Someone may be injured or fall. At this time, you can ask for help from the group next to you. The group of three quickly becomes a group of six or five people. When the situation improves, they can then separate and change.
Back to the trio.”
Everyone understood, and someone asked: "Can we find our own companions?"
Zhao Xinghe said: "Yes. But the partners must be fixed. Only by fixing the partners can we have a better understanding."
Everyone understood: "Okay, give it a try."
Zhao Xinghe said: "In the beginning, if everyone moves together, they may fall or bump into each other, so we need to practice."
Everyone tried it, and it’s really not easy.
Zhao Xinghe pointed at the three people who had practiced best and said, "Look," he suddenly punched one of them, and the three people suddenly retreated together. The formation turned, and one person raised his fist and went to
Zhao Xinghe punched, but Zhao Xinghe ducked and punched again. The three of them turned again, and another person blocked Zhao Xinghe.
Zhao Xinghe withdrew his fist and said to everyone: "Did you see it? Cooperate with each other, protect each other, and leave the back to your friends. We must trust each other and have a tacit understanding."
Everyone has seen it, it is indeed strange, but it is indeed safer than being alone.
After practicing all morning, everyone sat down to rest. After a while, people from each camp delivered meals.
Shen Ding grimaced, and he and a waiter carried a large soup bucket. It was steaming inside.
What is this? Many people are looking here.
Shen Ding put down the bucket and said to Zhao Xinghe: "Their kitchen man said that he has to make such a medicinal soup for two taels of silver a day."
The chef said: "It's not easy for us cooks either. There are so many people eating. Today you add a dish, and tomorrow they add a soup. It's hard for us too."
A veteran said: "Usually, a dish in the camp only costs fifty cents. How come it costs twenty taels of silver?"
The chef said: "How can the medicinal soup and vegetables be the same?"
Zhao Xinghe said: "Let's do this. I'll give each of you in the kitchen a bowl of this medicinal soup, and you'll give in and get two hundred dollars a day, okay?"
The chef immediately grinned: "Okay. That's okay."
Only then did everyone understand, "No, I said you..."
The chef immediately said: "What's wrong? Can't the cook drink the medicinal soup?"
Zhao Xinghe said: "Okay. That's it, everyone lines up to drink soup."
Everyone lined up and each received a bowl of medicinal soup. "This soup is not bad to drink. It does have a medicinal smell. It seems to make your body warm after drinking it."
Shen Ding said: "This medicinal soup can dispel cold and keep fit. It is taken from a unique place."
"What? The only place?" Everyone was surprised, "Is it the only place in the east of the city?"
Shen Ding regretted that he had talked too much and did not dare to answer. Zhao Xinghe said: "Yes, it is the only place in the east of the city."
Everyone immediately rushed forward: "I'll have another bowl..."
The cook picked up the soup bucket and left: "One bowl per person, and the rest will have to be drunk in our kitchen."
Everyone cursed angrily, and Shen Ding quickly said: "Don't worry, everyone, there will be more tomorrow, I took a lot." That's all.
Soon word spread in the military camp about the unique medicinal soup.
Vice General Lin and Vice General Zhang were so annoyed that they had no choice but to go to Liu Zhihe: "Commander, what does this Zhao Xinghe want to do? Now he is giving medicine to wounds, and now he is taking medicine soup, and now he is taking those veterans in circles. This soldier cannot be trained anymore. "
Liu Zhihe also got the news. He said: "Why bother with him? He is just a playboy who only knows how to buy people's hearts with money. Don't bother with him."
Vice General Lin said: "But..."
Liu Zhihe stared: "But what, get out."
Lieutenant General Lin and Lieutenant General Zhang retreated. Both of them were helpless.
In the afternoon, we practiced formation for a while and everyone sat together to rest.
Zhao Xinghe sat in the middle and said: "I will take this opportunity to tell you about the strategy."
Everyone laughed when they heard this: "Generals talk about strategies, what strategies do we veterans talk about?"
Zhao Xinghe said: "Everyone in a battle situation must have a strategy. For example, if you are alone or you are injured, what will you do?"
No one said anything after hearing this. Someone said: "Didn't you say that we must resist to the death and fight to the end?"
Zhao Xinghe said: "We have to fight to the end, but how do we fight to the end?"
No one said anything. Someone said: "Then please tell me."
Zhao Xinghe said: "If you are alone or injured, you need to observe."
When everyone heard this, they also became interested: "Would you like to observe where there are few people?"
Zhao Xinghe said: "We need to observe where there are more of us."
Everyone understands. "There is strength in numbers."
Zhao Xinghe said: "Yes, that's it. There is strength in numbers. If the enemy is too strong, we must try our best to gather together and shrink together so that we can have the strength to break out."
He added: "What is a comrade?" He paused, and then said: "A comrade is a brother who shares life and death. This time, you gave me a hand, and next time I will help you block the knife. If we all fight on our own. , ignore each other, and if there is no rescue for each other, the casualties will be huge. They respond to each other, you help me, I save you, everyone saves their lives."
Someone said: "Aren't we going to fight to the death?"
Zhao Xinghe smiled: "Does fighting to the death mean death? Everyone's life is also very precious. Everyone has parents and brothers. Everyone wants to live, then retire and return to his hometown to be with his family. We want to win, and we also want to live."
Everyone's eyes were red: "Vice General Zhao, we will all listen to you from now on."
"Yes, let's go practice." Everyone stood up and went to practice by themselves.
Vice General Lin and Vice General Zhang watched from a distance, "What did this guy say? These veterans seem to have been subdued by him. It's really strange."
Gradually, the veterans became more and more familiar with each other and became more and more skilled. And more and more people watched the fun.
On this day, Zhao Xinghe said: "Starting from today, we have to practice physical strength."
The veterans all said: "Physical training is too hard, and it is difficult for us to persist."
Zhao Xinghe said: "On the battlefield, physical strength is very important. You can't fight halfway and tell the enemy to stop for a while and let me take a rest. Whoever persists to the end will survive. Whoever collapses from exhaustion halfway will be killed by the enemy."
I will cut you down."
Everyone was silent, and someone said: "We are all old. We..."
Zhao Xinghe said: "We can do it step by step."
Someone asked: "What is step-by-step?"
Others said: "Don't ask so many questions. I heard Vice General Zhao is right. He is doing it for our own good."
Everyone nodded: "Okay, you can give me your orders."
Zhao Xinghe said: "Let's practice walking first."
Everyone laughed: "Do you still need to practice walking? You are really..."
Zhao Xinghe said: "Are the enemies all coming to your doorstep? To fight, you have to march, and marching is walking. So walking must be practiced."
Everyone stopped laughing immediately. "But how do you practice walking?"
