Chapter 533: The morale is as high as a mountain, but the immobility is as high as a mountain(2/2)
Li Mengxi then asked, "How was that night? It's dark now and I can't see where the flag is. Can the officers and soldiers still exercise restraint?"
At this point, Li Mengxi, Liu Bei, Guan and Zhang all turned their heads and looked further away.
After crossing the car formation and looking into the distance, I couldn't see it. A few dozen steps away, the flag was everywhere and it was pitch black.
Withdrawing his gaze, Liu Bei looked at Li Mengxi and said, "The fire flag can be the boundary."
Not only do the rebels have torch pillars, but the torch pillars are also generally equipped with weatherproof boards. Even if it rains, the torches will never go out.
When it comes to fire flags, there are too many Zhuozhou military flags and they are too professional.
There are not only professional torch stands, but also professional torch materials. The military has relevant overall arrangements for firewood. For firewood, pine wood has been specially collected and used only for torches.
I don’t know whether the torches used by the officers and soldiers at night were pine torches or ordinary wood torches.
However, when the soldiers of the Zhuozhou Army were patrolling at night, all the torches were made of ordinary wood, and the torches on the torch stands were mostly made of pine wood.
Li Mengxi knew that when it was dark all around, the Italian army would break out of the encirclement. Fearing that Huang Fusong would move tonight, Li Mengxi ordered his soldiers to raise torches to the border.
The soldiers took the order and left.
Soon, the Zhuozhou military vehicle formation moved forward dozens of steps, and fire gradually lit up near the flags that had been planted on the ground during the day.
When the officers and soldiers saw the flames coming out, they were on guard and guarded, thinking that the Zhuozhou Army was about to make a move. When they saw that the flames were sparsely spaced, it seemed to be where the Zhuozhou Army's flag boundary was set up during the day.
The officers and generals saw the light of the fire and knew that the Zhuozhou Army must be on guard.
Without the light of fire, the officers and generals would have known that the Zhuozhou Army would be on guard. But with the light of fire, the officers and generals would suddenly feel the sudden pressure.
After the fire flag was arranged, Li Mengxi asked again how the military training was during the day and whether the two movements of holding a gun and firing a gun were done well.
Once here, Liu Bei went directly to the nearby area to call a group of new soldiers, and then drilled the formation.
Thirty new recruits, ten of them, were arranged in three rows, each holding a wooden gun of varying lengths.
The formation stood still, and all the recruits stood straight with their guns in hand.
Li Mengxi circled the queue. He looked very carefully. The key was the posture of standing at attention with the gun in his hand.
Looking down one by one, Li Mengxi saw that each of the recruits had their elbows close to their waist and ribs, their arms were straight and parallel to the ground, and their guns were straight and perpendicular to the ground.
Except for the uneven length of the wooden spear in the soldier's hand, which makes the effect look bad, the action of standing at attention while holding the gun alone is quite decent.
Then, Liu Bei ordered in a deep voice, "Everyone has a gun!"
The order was given, and with the sound of a brush, the soldiers who were standing still suddenly moved. Thirty soldiers were like one person. The right hand holding the gun lifted the gun and raised his arm. At the same time, his left hand crossed his chest and swept to the right, touching his right hand first to position it.
After grabbing the gun with your left hand, move your left hand down along the gun shaft to the waist and ribs, and tap it lightly. This action is when you are preparing to hold the armor, and you can't feel the waist and ribs through the armor. Tap it lightly to facilitate positioning.
I saw thirty new soldiers holding wooden spears with both hands, holding the spear as if holding a sword with both hands, with their arms open and shoulders open, and their posture was straight and stretched when exerting force.
Looking at the gun in the soldier's hand, although the length of the wooden gun is uneven, the barrel of the gun is pointed straight upward.
