Chapter 53 Exercise (3)
After all, the teaching corps is the most elite unit in the national army. After graduating from Huangpu first class, Zhou Zhenqiang, who was born as a guard of Sun Yat-sen, was not a good deal. After the first attack was blocked, the two companies that were involved in the attack for the first time did not retreat. They used their good individual combat capabilities to form a confrontation with Cheng Dean's first company on the other side of the trench, who was defending the front of Tuanshan positions.
When Zhou Zhenqiang was unable to suppress the opponent's artillery fire, he decisively sent the regiment engineer platoon to carry the long ladder used to attack the frontier positions of the regiment mountain. At the same time, he ordered the regiment mortar company to suppress the frontier positions of the regiment mountain and the mortar positions on the back slope. Zhou Zhenqiang's arrangement was also a desperate bet. Once his regiment mortar company opened fire, he was likely to face the destruction of the opponent's artillery fire. After all, the opponent's mortar position was arranged on the back slope, and the exact target could not be found, and he could only cover the firepower, while the opponent could clearly find his mortar position.
While the mortar company of the first regiment of the teaching company carried out firepower to the front, the engineer platoon quickly laid a long ladder on the trench. The two companies that were originally hidden behind the first trench were detained for the force of a platoon who had just been sentenced to be killed and retired from the exercise, and made a strong breakthrough towards the frontier positions.
The firepower of the frontier positions in the Tuanshan was temporarily suppressed by mortars, but soon the sound of mortars from the backscene surface sounded from the backscene surface, and the mortar company of the first regiment of the corps was instantly determined to be destroyed. At first, Zhou Zhenqiang was a little dissatisfied and believed that his mortar company would not be destroyed so easily. When the officer responsible for monitoring the referee took out the coordinate parameters of the entire Tuanshan position provided by the 528th Regiment, Zhou Zhenqiang had to accept it. It turned out that Shen Xiuwen measured the coordinate parameters of all offensive routes while arranging the defensive positions and submitted it to the referee group responsible for monitoring by the army. Therefore, a mortar platoon of the 528th Regiment, which was located on the backscene surface of the reinforcement battalion, did not need to test the target at all, and it was directly destroyed as long as the target was found.
However, although Zhou Zhenqiang paid the price of a mortar company, when he saw that there were still one company left in the two companies involved in the attack and rushed through the two trenches, Zhou Zhenqiang's face looked slightly better. Although the two companies carrying out the attack had lost half, one company on the opponent's frontier position was also ruled to be killed in half. As long as he could break through the frontier position, Zhou Zhenqiang would be sure to take down the Tuanshan position before dark. It was still worth the cost.
However, when only one company of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Teaching Corps was rushing into the frontier position for nearly fifty meters, a scene that no one expected appeared. Suddenly, dozens of figures jumped out of the trenches of the cutting-edge position. They waved their shaky swords and rushed directly to the stormtroopers of the Teaching Corps. Exercises, hand-to-hand combat, or a large blade of non-standard weapons. Not only were the soldiers of the Teaching Corps charging, but also Zhou Zhenqiang, who was commanding the battle at the foot of the mountain, was shocked.
Cheng Dean, who took off his military uniform and was wearing only a white shirt, took the lead and rushed into the crowd and chopped down several soldiers from the teaching corps. Because he was worried about accidental injury, all the big blades were taken in reverse and directly chopped people with the back of the knife. However, despite this, it was not pleasant to be chopped by the knife. The soldiers of the teaching corps, who always regarded themselves as elite, were not fuel-efficient lamps, and were all used to being arrogant. After being stunned at first, they immediately reacted and had no time to get a bayonet. They directly used the Mauser Type 24 rifle in their hands.
"Oh, you guys were fucking fouls, chopped down, and got up and beat them."
"Oh, you guys are really playing, I**."
"Bitch, brothers, fight me."
"Laipi, brothers, these bastards in the Corps......"
The frontier positions were suddenly in chaos. Although the number of people in the teaching corps was half higher than that of the 88th Division, half of the troops led by Cheng De'an was not at all inferior. However, the scene began to lose control, and hand-to-hand combat quickly turned into mutual fighting, and shouting and scolding were endless.
With a few sharp whistles sounded, the referees and officers on both sides who were in a military exercise stopped the fight between the two sides with a look of despicable expression. Although the hand-to-hand combat launched by Cheng Dean was beyond the expectations of these referees, the rules of the exercise did not prohibit hand-to-hand combat, and from a practical perspective, hand-to-hand combat was very necessary. However, the situation occurred and the fight between them could not be allowed. They unanimously ruled that both sides died together and withdrew from the exercise together.
"It was clearly their cheating, how could they be sentenced to die together?" Cheng Dean, who had a black blue piece on his face and a white shirt torn into pieces, was dissatisfied. The death between the two sides was equivalent to his overall death, and he had no chance to continue participating in the exercise, which made him very dissatisfied.
"Cheng Dean, you still think it's not embarrassing enough. Immediately gather the team to return to the county seat." At this time, Shen Xiuwen personally led the Second Company into the frontier position. Seeing that Cheng Dean was going to argue with the magistrate, he shouted sternly.
When Cheng Dean saw the battalion commander coming, he didn't dare to say anything more and quickly gathered his team to withdraw from the front line.
Zhou Zhenqiang at the foot of the mountain was also very cowardly at this time. The two companies that launched an attack on Tuanshan were wiped out. In addition, the mortar company that was destroyed just now had a greater loss than all the losses in conquering the defensive positions of the 527th Regiment in the morning. Moreover, such a large loss was not even captured at the forefront of the Tuanshan position. Now his first battalion suffered most of the losses, and the second battalion was annihilated two more companies, and the mortar company was completely wiped out. His first regiment had suffered more than half of his casualties, which was equivalent to losing combat power.
"Kanfu, what happened? The casualties are so great?" Gui Yongqing, who had just arrived, frowned and asked Zhou Zhenqiang.
In fact, Gui Yongqing was also very angry at this time. Zhou Zhenqiang's first regiment was the main regiment of the teaching corps, and at the same time, the artillery battalion directly under the corps came to the 1 regiment. At the beginning of today's exercise, the 1 regiment defeated the 527th regiment in just half a day. Originally, Gui Yongqing was also full of confidence. Although Lishui was the focus of the defense of the 88th Division and the defense of the 528th Regiment, which is famous for its good defense, Gui Yongqing believed that his old classmate could break into Lishui County before dark. Therefore, he followed up with the follow-up troops slowly. Unexpectedly, before the people arrived, he received bad news that the first regiment had lost two companies and the artillery company of the regiment. In desperation, Gui Yongqing spoke very stiffly to his old classmate.
"Captain, I underestimated the enemy. Give me another chance and let me lead the Third Battalion to rush again. I will definitely take down the front line." Zhou Zhenqiang said with a red face.
Since its establishment, the teaching corps has suffered such a failure this time. Zhou Zhenqiang, who is responsible for the front-line command, could not swallow this breath no matter what. Moreover, Gui Yongqing's bad tone also stimulated him, and he volunteered to lead the team to attack in person.
At this time, the sun had already set. Gui Yongqing looked at the sky and raised his hand decisively and said, "You can't attack anymore. Order the troops to camp on the spot. A summary meeting will be held in the evening to review the gains and losses of today's exercise."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Zhenqiang, who was mixed with disappointment and shame, Gui Yongqing softened his heart, and stepped forward and patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Jianfu, lead the troops first. Today, your first regiment, as the vanguard, defeated the 527th regiment, is still an indispensable contribution. Now it is just a temporary setback. Go down to eat something first, and we will study this delegation mountain position together later. We must take it down tomorrow morning."
Zhou Zhenqiang looked at Gui Yongqing gratefully, nodded, saluted Gui Yongqing, and gathered his group to prepare for camping.
After Zhou Zhenqiang left, Gui Yongqing's face suddenly became gloomy. The Tuanshan position did not capture it, disrupting their previous subordinates, and did not achieve the predetermined goal of defeating the main force of 88 in one day and capturing the Lishui County. He just received a message from the Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin on the way to come. Chairman Jiang will come back tomorrow afternoon to observe the exercise. If he still can't take Lishui tomorrow, he will lose points in front of Chairman Jiang.
At the foot of the regiment mountain, in a temporary tent, the officers and staff of the corps were taught to review the gains and losses of today's exercises together. After listening to Zhou Zhenqiang and the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, the second battalion of the 1st Battalion who led the attack, everyone was stunned. This was the first time they encountered such a defensive fortification, which was exactly the same as the defensive fortifications of the 527th Regiment that had been defeated before. Moreover, such defensive fortifications and firepower combination made everyone feel very difficult, unless the group's strength was activated. But if this was the case, even if it could be captured, there would be a lot of casualties, which would be very unfavorable to the subsequent exercises.
"Which unit is defending Tuanshan today? Could it be that Zhu Youqing personally commanded it?" Gui Yongqing asked.
"The one who defended Tuanshan was the first battalion of the 528th Regiment. In addition, they were also equipped with a mortar company." The chief of staff of the regiment on the side quickly replied.
In fact, the backscene surface of the Tuanshan Mountain is only equipped with a mortar platoon. However, because the mortar company of the first regiment has been destroyed by the opponent's artillery fire, the chief of staff of the regiment believed that the mortar company of the 528th regiment must be in the Tuanshan position based on speculation.
When he heard that the 1st Battalion of the 528th Regiment was defending the Tuanshan position, the expressions on the faces of a lieutenant colonel and a major standing beside him suddenly changed.
Gui Yongqing noticed the change in expression of the major standing diagonally opposite him and said, "Chengcai, what do you have to say? Let's listen to it together."
This major is Shen Xiuwen's classmate Zhao Shujiu. After graduation two years ago, he was assigned to the teaching corps. He was highly appreciated by the commander Gui Yongqing. In just over a year, he was promoted from a lieutenant to the major's staff officer.
Zhao Shujiu cleared his throat and said, "Report to the commander of the corps, Shen Xiuwen, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 528th Regiment, is my classmate in the ninth class of the Central Military Academy."
"Shen Xiuwen? Your classmate in the ninth class?" Gui Yongqing couldn't help but be stunned. Except for the other people who changed their expressions at the same time as Zhao Shujiu, the other people couldn't help but be amazed.
The 9th class of the Central Military Academy, graduated in November of the previous year. Most of these people are now serving as platoon leader in the army, and a few serve as company commanders. A rare person who can become a school official like Zhao Shujiu is a rare person. In addition to Gui Yongqing's appreciation, it also has a lot to do with Zhao Shujiu being the company commander of the Northeast Army before entering the school. Unexpectedly, a battalion commander under the 52nd Regiment of the 88th Division was only in the 9th class. And the one who can be ordered to take charge of the Defence Line of the Regiment Mountains is the main force among the main forces. Judging from their performance today, even Zhou Zhenqiang of the First Class can become his defeated general, and everyone feels very novel.
"Chen Xiuwen? This name is very familiar. It seems to be the first place when he graduated from the ninth class that year, right? I heard that Huang Meixing went directly to the Education Chief." Gui Yongqing frowned and recalled carefully and said.
"The captain of the corps is really good at memory. Yes, Chen Xiuwen was the first place when we graduated in this period. However, he was the first place to recruit students in the ninth period. The training of the recruits was in our teaching team. By the way, the captain of the corps, Chen Xiuwen was also the younger brother of Chief Chen Xiude of the attendant room." Zhao Shujiu replied quickly.
When the audience heard that Chen Xiuwen was not only the first place in the ninth period, but also Chen Xiude's younger brother, the people present suddenly realized. Although Chen Xiude did not lead troops, he was the leader of the first and second teams of the attendant room, and was very trusted by the chairman. This time, he had just become the first group of Huangpu students to take the rank of lieutenant general with Hu Zongnan and Yu Jishi. Thinking of the character of Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 88th Division, it is not surprising that Chen Xiuwen can become the battalion commander of the main force.
