Chapter 56 Young General

Sibrun, Mongolia.

The endless grassland. The wild flowers are blooming in full bloom, the dense grass has lost its ankles, and several cows with leather cloaks around their necks are eating the grass lazily.

The National Defense Army soldiers wearing yellow khaki uniforms lined up neatly, and a black-bottomed fire dragon battle flag fluttered in the front of the queue in the wind.

Cai E, the new commander of the 10th Regiment of the Fourth National Defense Division and had just been promoted to major in the army, was wearing a brand new major uniform and a second-class White Tiger medal on his chest. He had a serious expression and stood in front of the queue.

"Today, we stand here to witness a heroic and wise commander, who has won due honors for his great contributions to the empire." Wang Lei, the new commander of the Fourth Division of the National Defense Force, said loudly, "Major Cai E, from May to June of the first year of Huaxing, commanded well on the northern fronts in many battles, gave the enemy major damage, and effectively preserved his combat effectiveness, and successfully completed the tasks he shouldered. In the battle, this commander showed outstanding wisdom, extraordinary courage, firm belief, and defeated the enemy and was a model for our emperor's official. He hereby awarded a first-class Xuanwu Medal. Ministry of National Defense of the Chinese Empire, June 14, 2014, the first year of Huaxing."

Cai E stepped forward and gave a standard military salute.

Wang Lei put a golden first-class Xuanwu medal on him and patted him on the shoulder: "Songpo, you are now a household name in the empire, do it well."

"Master, please understand the mark."

Due to the ineffective combat of the Fourth Division in the Yarlu River, the division commander and chief of staff have been removed from office by lightning and transferred to the reserve service. The former deputy chief of staff of the army, Wang Lei, was appointed as the new division commander, and Cai E also stepped on the resignation of the former regiment commander, and the whole country was full of new people and new atmosphere. In fact, today there are considerations to establish his authority.

The military band played military music, and the officers and soldiers lined up in an orderly manner. Everyone saluted Cai E. He was very convinced of this brave and resourceful officer, who was lenient and strict with the soldiers. I won’t say much about the officers in Cai E’s camp who lived and died with him. Even from other battalions, when it comes to Cai Dongpo, they always give him a thumbs up and praise him.

Cai E felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at the envious gazes of his subordinates.

In order to increase the morale of the people, the empire's propaganda organization deliberately chose a group of young officers with good image and certain military achievements as role models to vigorously promote.

Cai E's troops were one of the few highlights in the defeat in the Yarlu River. They fought hard with heavy casualties and insisted on fighting. They originally thought that this lonely army, who had been cut off, had died, but they did not expect that Cai E, with most of his strength, had joined the main force after the extremely difficult battle of the cut off, and immediately caused a sensation in the entire army.

In addition, this person was born in the junior class, the top graduate, the captain of the academic corps, and the main battalion commander of the Ace Division of the National Defense Forces. He has made many military achievements and is a sharpshooter. Before this, he has made many military achievements, so he naturally became a model of the key packaging and publicity of the imperial propaganda machine.

After the publicity, Cai E is now like Huo Qubing.

For some reason, Cai E remembered Xiao Lan, who was seriously injured and hospitalized.

Is he okay? If you want to talk about the courage and tragic battle, Xiao Lan is probably no less than himself?

pity……--

"Deputy Battalion Commander of the Third Battalion, 11th Regiment of the Fourth National Defense Division, Xiao Lan."

Xiao Lan saluted in awe at the commander of the Third Battalion Yue, with a slightly pale face.

Before, he was stabbed several times in the back in the battle to severely damage the Merezhtov cavalry cluster, and he lost too much blood and was unconscious. Fortunately, Cai E dug him out of the dead and sent him to a field hospital. Finally, he was rescued in time. In addition, he did not hurt his internal organs and muscles. After more than a month of treatment and rest, he was alive and had no problem.

Because of his bravery in combat and his blood to wash away the shame of fighting in mutiny forces, Xiao Lan was promoted to captain, and then caught up with the Fourth National Defense Division, which happened to be a major blood change. Therefore, he was a blessing in disguise. From the B Division, he returned to the sequence of the Standing Division of the National Defense Forces and promoted to the deputy battalion commander.

Yue Meng looked at this young officer who was said to be extremely brave in combat, and a graduate of the Lu University of China nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, he is a man, the army is now replenishing, and he will fight a big battle soon. You kid heard that he is an expert in using swords. I am also a family-leading kung fu. We will go twice one day."

Xiao Lan smiled: "I should accompany you."—

Jiang Fangzhen was so busy that he hit the back of the head.

Although the senior commander of the Third Army was cleaned up due to poor command, his combat staff, who performed well several times, was a blessing in disguise. He rose all the way and was promoted to senior staff officer of the Military Operations Department. He had been promoted to major before. The military department knew that he liked to run down, so he specially equipped him with a sideboard motorcycle. In addition, he used to love horses. Now Jiang Fangzhen is busy collecting intelligence in various troops, observing the terrain, planning defense configurations, and working hard day and night, his whole body is becoming more and more powerful.

He had just seen the transfer order in the military headquarters, but unexpectedly found Xiao Lan's name. He was overjoyed and went from the logistics warehouse to a bottle of Erguotou, several cans, and two boxes of cigarettes in his arms. He rode a motorcycle and ran along the temporary dirt road to Cai E's regiment headquarters, and took the new regiment seat who had just been awarded a medal to find Xiao Lan.

Several close friends from Lu University met each other and sighed. Cai E saw that Xiao Lan was just a battalion deputy, and was a little embarrassed and acted very close. Xiao Lan had already seen it out of the way and just smiled faintly.

Fate, often, is something that cannot be explained clearly, but no one can do anything about it.

Although Cai E was a commoner, he was the first in the Lu Dynasty. He was the top student in the youth class and was very lucky on the battlefield. Although he was a good family, Lu Dynasty's grades were not obvious. After graduation, he finally became a trump card and became a company commander, but he became a rebel for no reason. With the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he caught up with the enemy with few people and was seriously injured and unconscious.

This is all fate.

Xiao Lan looked at Cai E with a somewhat unnatural expression and just smiled calmly, but she remembered the letter from her fiancée who advised her to retire and go to business or study abroad earlier.

Xiaowei really cares about herself and doesn't want to have something to do. And in this army, she can indeed be considered a waste of her fate.

But he can't leave here.

Because, he is a soldier.

As the few people talked, they talked about life and death on the battlefield. They each touched their love. Xiao Lan had the best alcohol tolerance. When talking about his own things, they were just lightly. But the more he did this, the more uncomfortable Jiang Fangzhen and Cai were. Cai E had poor alcohol tolerance. The first one was to be speechless, cry and laugh, and he beat several battles to the darkness, how many times he wanted to survive, and even had to shoot deserters and even officers.

, In the end, she cried like a child. Jiang Fangzhen saw more and had less experience in his own body, but he was also choked when he heard these. In the end, the few people drank more and more, Xiao Lan began to be unconscious and couldn't help but reveal the depression and helplessness in her chest. The three men hugged their heads and cried bitterly. Finally, they laughed for some reason, and they cried for a while. In the end, they were exhausted and fell down to fall asleep.

Xu Shuzheng made contributions to suppress the rebellion in Beijing, promoted to lieutenant colonel, and transferred back to the Northeast Front Army to participate in the battle was rejected by Zheng Yu, but he was arranged for him to be the battalion commander of the Second Regiment of the First Imperial Guard Division. Wu Peifu, the old commander of the Second Regiment, had already replaced Li Yuanhong as the commander of the First Division, and the new commander was Nyuyongjian. This brave general from the National Defense Forces looked at Xu Shuzheng, who was a little unruly, and he felt a little sympathetic. These two people were Zheng Yu's confidants. With such a common relationship, they were even more accomplicated.

Du Zhi is now busy councilloring the military team. He is the first aide to the military affairs of Zheng Yu, so he naturally cannot lead the Second Special Battalion. Jiang Dengxuan has been promoted to the battalion commander of the Second Special Battalion, presided over the training, held alerts, and arranged guards. He is meticulous and capable in the military. After several contacts, Zheng Yu has a greater impression of this Fengtian general in another time and space.

Li Liejun's artillery battalion is also one of the few highlights of the Northern Front Army's battles. This man fought bravely and resourcefully in several artillery battles, and his cooperation with the infantry was also very effective. The propaganda machine of the empire was clamoring, and this member of the Mainland Sword Group had already received the nickname "Architecture King". Li Liejun's master was also amused and crying, but he couldn't resist everyone's call, so he finally agreed.

Wu Luzhen's mentality in the Northeast Front Army was a bit complicated. His deputy chief of staff mainly dealt with logistics and military stations. He was always looked down upon by the front-line combat staff, and he was a little dissatisfied with it. However, if Zheng Yu was ugly, he would not do well, so he would play military supplies for the rest of his life. This young man from Hubei, known as a child prodigy since childhood, had to work hard with his nose, which made the military supplies work vividly and highly praised.

He was a man with great ambitions, so he naturally would not have any ill-thinking ideas on the military supplies, so of course he could not tolerate his subordinates to do whatever he wanted. He mercilessly took on several military supplies and staff who were stolen by the military supplies and small leaders. Wu Luzhen also got the title of "Wu Yanluo". He didn't care. What is Yanluo? It was synonymous with selflessness. He simply called himself "Wu Yanluo". For a time, this great name became a thing that could stop children from crying at night in the logistics and military station system on the Yalu River front line.

Tang Jiyao is now full of energy.

The 26th Division guarded the Jiangfang line on Dandong, and fought with the Third Army of the Japanese Manchu Army, and suffered heavy casualties. The battalion commander of his battalion was blown off and sent to the field hospital for rescue. After finally saving his life, he, the deputy battalion commander, took advantage of the situation. After several battles, Tang Jiyao performed well, and he recognized him very well. The acting battalion commander, took the prefix, just as he saw him, removed the prefix. This person was originally eager to be famous, but after being beaten by Zheng Yu, he was even more focused on doing something in the military system. Now he was full of energy and became a powerful general in Shangguan's eyes.

Yan Xishan was arranged by Zheng Yu to go to the Third Department of the Ministry of National Defense to be responsible for military research and development and production. After the war started, he was sent to Guangzhou Nanhua Heavy Industry as a special commissioner, responsible for production coordination, and did a great job. In Zheng Yu's plan, this person's future should be in the military industry and a shopping mall on the battlefield.

Zhao Hengti was sent to the First National Defense Division.

After repeated purging and more than a month of training, this army was stuffed into Zheng Yu with a large number of trusted officers, and it was completely unrecognizable. From top to bottom, everyone was repeatedly instilled with a spirit every day: loyal to the emperor and loyal to the empire.

Zhao Hengti is very talented in both military and political aspects, and is diligent and serious in his work. He has become the deputy battalion commander and political instructor. According to Zheng Yu, in another month, the First Division will be ready for combat. Zheng Yu is very much looking forward to how far Zhao Hengti can grow in the future.

Nie Xianfan is now like a bird out of the cage, and he is so happy.

In the rebellion in Beijing, he was a man of great achievements and was promoted to two levels and became a lieutenant colonel. At the age of 25, he was in such a high position, and other people looked at him with envy, and there were some doubts. Nie Xianfan always disliked others the most. He borrowed his father Nie Shicheng to take office. Whenever he noticed this, he would be particularly furious. Finally, he asked Zheng Yu to put him in the combat unit.

Zheng Yu called and asked Nie Shicheng, who had retired from Tianjin. During the mutiny, Nie Shicheng changed color. The nicknamed him only said "let him go" at that time. Zheng Yu finally mentioned him to the First Division of the National Defense Forces as the chief of staff, which also allowed him to accumulate more experience in leading troops. Nie Xianfan also knew that his qualifications as the military chief were too shallow, and he might not accept the direct service regiment, so he worked diligently and got along well with his boss.

Huangpu. The First Navy School.

At 6 o'clock, there were already many neatly arranged square formations on the playground, thousands of naval preparation soldiers of all grades and future majors, wearing white uniforms of scholars, standing solemnly as a forest.

Luo Anjie was also in the queue of one of the teams.

Raise the imperial flag and the navy flag, and sing the national anthem of "Ode to China" and sing the Imperial Navy's victory March.

At 6:15, morning exercises begin.

The busy day has begun again.

After the morning exercises, there were neatly queues of students on the playground. Under the command of the naval officer who was the squad leader, the whole team returned to the dormitory building to wash, and then entered the cafeteria neatly, lined up to call his own breakfast from the master.

Rows of long dining tables, all the students sat solemnly on the benches on both sides of the dining table.

After the captain of the Xuebing General said with majestic "dine", everyone bowed slightly, then grabbed the enamel bowl and knife and fork (it was inconvenient to use chopsticks on the ship), and quickly started eating.

The Naval Aviation School is harshly trained but has a rich diet.

Today's breakfast was millet porridge, pickles, milk, soy milk and an egg. Luo Anjie finished it quickly, almost like other students, stopped the knife and fork at the same time, and returned to his solemn and upright posture.

"This team has finished dining and applied to start morning self-study."

“Request approval.”

Luo Anjie's team walked out of the cafeteria neatly and entered the classroom, and began morning self-study silently.

At 8:00, all the teams gathered in the playground again.

At 8:15, the entire team entered different classrooms and started the morning class.

The courses for the Navy Preparatory Soldiers are very intense.

Taking the B-class student soldiers in which Luo Anjie is located as an example, not only should we study basic disciplines such as history, Chinese, geometry, algebra, geography, physics, English, and military theory, but we should also study professional disciplines such as oceans, meteorology, machinery, shooting, communications, infantry tactics, photography, map surveying and mapping. All disciplines must achieve a score of more than 60 points before entering the next academic year.

Like other schools in the Imperial Navy, the order of hammocks in the Aviation Preparatory School is entirely based on the final exam results of each semester. The better the score, the higher the hammock number, and the hammock number will always affect the promotion of these soldiers within the naval system.

At 12:15 noon, the morning class was over, and each team re-entered the cafeteria for lunch.

The Navy is a technical army with very high requirements for physical fitness, especially in such high-intensity battles at sea, and there is no time to rest. Therefore, as a preparatory school soldier trained by naval officers, the diet is very sophisticated.

Today’s lunch is beef with potatoes, spinach and peanuts, and a carrot and rice. For many civilian children, the food of the navy soldiers is as unreal as a dream. Many people have learned about the sea and have largely heard of the name of "Sea Chinese Cuisine".

The afternoon course starts at 1:15 and goes until four o'clock, followed by two hours of physical training. On Saturday, a group competition will be arranged, including dragon boat racing, football or rugby. At the end of each month, a Chinese sword competition will also be held to cultivate students' calmness, wit and quick response.

After dinner, all students have one and a half hours of free time to move around. Many students seize this time to clean clothes, take a bath, write letters, or use the student soldiers' allowance to buy more extra things.

It is the evening study time from 8:00 to 9:45 pm. Complete the homework for the day and prepare tomorrow's courses. The entire self-study process must be absolutely quiet, and it is absolutely forbidden to walk around and whisper at will.

Nine forty-five.

All the students sat upright and closed their eyes and thought.

The team leader held the ruler in his hand and shouted loudly: "Do you be sincere and uncontradictory?"

Meditation and self-reflection.

Luo Anjie had already abandoned his distracting thoughts and repeatedly recalled what he had thought for a day.

Three minutes.

"You, are you ashamed of your words and deeds?"

Another three minutes.

"You, are you in a state of strength?"

Another three minutes.

"Do you work hard without regrets?"

Another three minutes.

"You, don't be lazy?"

After the self-reflection, all the students returned to the dormitory and turned off the lights on time at 10:15.

Luo Anjie has been completely used to this kind of military life.

He knew that such a life would take at least one year, and then he would transfer to formal aviation training. After another year of rigorous training, he would become a preparatory pilot and start formal training with the team.

He never doubted the opportunity Zheng Yu gave him.

When he first saw a biplane rising from the airport of Tianjin Aviation Base and flying into the blue sky, he was already fascinated by this road-

This empire is gradually replacing new and old in the tempering of blood and fire.
