The first town of Xinjun in Zhejiang Province currently has three mixed associations, Sun Yong's first association, Chen Tianhua's third association, and the newly formed second association.

The co-controller of the Second Association was Li Pinzhang, the third son of Li Sangong, who was acting as the co-controller in name, mainly to cover up others' eyes.

It has been nearly six years since Li Pinzhang graduated from the Tokyo Army Military Academy. He has never been on the battlefield and has no merit at all.

Sun Yong followed Li Cunzhi and fought against the Boxers, encircled and suppressed Jin Tianbiao's security brigade in Meishan Town, and later participated in the winter bandit suppression with great achievements.

The one who has participated in the most battles and achieved brilliant results must be Chen Tianhua. Therefore, he is a young general with the highest prestige in the entire army. Some people envy him and others are jealous of him.

Last year, the New Army only had Sun Yong's First Association, plus Li Xinghong's Sixth Mixed Bidding Regiment and Li Pinzhang's agent's Guards Bidding Regiment, as well as the town-directed guard battalion, artillery battalion, engineer battalion, etc.

A total of six teams from the New Army participated in the competition. The main events were infantry prone 100-meter shooting, obstacle course, and mounted shooting; infantry combat and stabbing; team tactical offense and defense;

The result of the competition was that Li Pinzhang's Guards Team ranked first and Li Xinghong's Sixth Team ranked second.

Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that the sixth bidding group led by Li Xinghong obviously gave way to Mr. Li San and let his guard group win the crown.

The rules of the competition have been changed this year. The New Army will use the Association as a unit, with a total of three representatives. However, the number of people has increased, and the items have added artillery, grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns, grenade throwing, infantry and cavalry artillery, multi-arm coordinated operations, etc., all-round Compete.

Chen Tianhua followed Xu Yunyuan's prompt and told Li Xinghong to let Gu Zhunian lead a platoon of the Rangers to join the representative team and let him and Chen Er divide the work and train together.

On the eve of the competition, Chen Tianhua asked all the team members to work as hard as if they were on the battlefield. They must win the first place in the competition and are not allowed to give in. Otherwise, military law will be imposed.

After three days of competition, the team led by Chen Er and Gu Zhunian finally ranked first in the overall score and won the overall championship in the army.

On the early morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Chen Tianhua, as the deputy chief of staff of the New Army and the commander-in-chief of the third mixed association, was dressed in a brand-new military uniform and prepared to go to the flag camp.

"Husband, I also want to go to the university grounds to see this grand awards ceremony." Li Shuzhen said to Chen Tianhua.

"Father, the child also wants to watch with his mother."

Chen Mingcheng, who is four years old this year, has a big head and a strong head, but speaks very sternly. Apparently, he got it from the teacher's Three Character Classic and other Four Books and Five Classics.

There were no schools like kindergarten at that time. From the age of three, the family invited an old private school teacher to come and teach. There was nothing else to learn, so he started with the Three Character Classic, and his mother taught English.

"Okay Xiaohu, let's take a carriage as a family." Thinking of taking his son to broaden his horizons, Chen Tianhua readily agreed.

"Thank you father for making it happen."

Chen Xiaohu bowed to Chen Tianhua, took his mother's hand and walked to the yard, where there was a bulletproof carriage specially made by the Meiguang Autonomous Region.

The bulletproof carriage has an ordinary appearance, nice interior, and a lot of space. Chen Tianhua and his family of three can sit comfortably inside.

The carriage moved slowly, escorted by about 20 guards such as Fei Ge. When they arrived at the military camp where Chen Er, Gu Zhunian and their team were staying, all the more than 80 team members were ready to go.

The two teams merged together, and Chen Er and Gu Zhunian led the team to the flag camp, followed by Chen Tianhua's carriage and guards.

There were huge crowds of people along the way. In recent years, many people from Hangzhou city went to Qiying Grand Training Ground to watch the competition.

Nowadays, during the first month of the year, there are no entertainment activities for the common people. There is nothing else to do except drinking and playing mahjong. If there is a big scene of martial arts competition, it is good to be brave. Everyone rushes to grab a good seat. Standing outside the cordon is not too tiring.

Chen Tianhua and the others were going to the viewing platform, which was naturally the east gate of the flag-walking camp.

Gu Zhunian rode his horse to take the lead, and just as he turned into the straight road at the east gate of Qiying, he stopped again. He looked at Chen Er who was riding his horse to catch up, with a cautious look on his face, and he gave Chen Er a slight smile on his horse.

He leaned over and whispered:

"Sir, Deputy Biaotong, there seems to be trouble, and I'm afraid it's coming for us."

Chen Er was surprised when he heard this. Who dared to attack them in broad daylight in Hangzhou city?

Looking up, his eyes widened immediately.

"Wow, what a grand event!"

He was wearing a brand-new military uniform, golden epaulettes, and arc-shaped decorative brocade on his chest. He wore a bright red cloak hanging down, and his high riding boots were shiny.

On the left side of the horse hangs a sheathed saber, and on the right side is a Mauser M1888 standard rifle.

The most bizarre thing is the horse on the crotch. The team of more than a hundred people is actually all white horses, tall and powerful.

Chen Er looked back at his subordinates, and only two words came to his mind: shabby.

Although the team members were all dressed in formal attire, there were no chest decorations, cloaks or high riding boots. Except for the two officers Chen Er and Gu Zhunian, the rest did not have any.

The rifles hanging on the horse are also in a mess. There are Murata Type 28, Type 30, and imitation Mauser M1888. Anyway, there are all kinds of rifles.

The horses under the crotch are even more colorful and uneven.

Reflecting the morning sun, these golden epaulettes and black high-top riding boots shone brightly, dazzling the eyes of Chen Er and others.

Damn it, whose army is this? It looks like an honor guard! Chen Er thought to himself... A group of knights roared out of the east gate and gathered together less than twenty steps away from Gu Zhunian's leading team.

The horses, the war horses neighed, and the men stood up.

However, the fly in the ointment is that these cavalrymen obviously lack strict coordination training, and they can still see the formation when running. This stop immediately shows the unevenness of equestrian skills. Some people rushed out half a step and stopped, while others were half a step behind.

step.

Just this half step will ruin the scenery.

Gu Zhunian pursed his lips and spurred his horse forward a few steps. Following his movements, forty riders in a row behind him all spurred their horses forward at the same time, ten people in a row, orderly and orderly, each horse

The heads of the horses could be pulled across with a ruler, as if they were running head-on, their hands could even touch the spear hanging on the horse's side.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Gu Zhunian, waiting for his order.

Although there is only a few dozen steps between the two, their war horses are carefully selected to be extremely powerful. This distance is enough for them to run at speed and deliver a fatal blow.

The more than a hundred new officers and soldiers of the Third Association were silent, but the murderous intent honed by long battles on the battlefield quickly spread.

Most of the knights on the opposite side were still unaware, but their horses were much more agile, pawing their hooves uneasily.

The people who were queuing up to enter the flag camp also quickly noticed the anomaly. But after all, they were people in Hangzhou city who had seen the big world. But if they were in the Meiguang Autonomous Region, the mountain people at this time would have already fled away to avoid being affected.
