Chapter 67 Station Queue

"All stand up and salute the instructor." This is the Whampoa Military Academy, and the classroom follows the military style. The salute before class is not a set of bowing, but a clean and neat military salute.

"Hello students."

"Sit down." Newcomers, the voices of standing up and sitting down are still not neat. The instructor standing on the podium is wearing a military uniform with the words "military academy" and "instructor". He frowned subconsciously and let go. After all, he is a freshman, so he came here like this.

"Today is my first class for you. Let me briefly introduce myself. I am Liu Yueyang, the chief instructor of the infantry brigade. I will be responsible for your future teaching of the three subjects of "Tactics", "Topography" and "Fortification" .Students don’t need to introduce themselves. I will remember everyone’s names in the next study time. You only need to remember what I said in class and what I learned after class. The military theory knowledge taught in subject teaching is the foundation, no matter you How time-consuming is art study or field training? My request is to close the book on military theory and I will talk about the first half, and if you can open your mouth, come to the second half!"

"I am opposed to Zhao Kuo's talk on paper, but I think Zhao Kuo and Zhao She were able to give Zhao Kuo enough practical opportunities in peacetime, so Zhao Kuo, who has rich theoretical knowledge, might not be able to be called a general guarding the country like his father. In fact, Your seniors, who are now generals in the army, each of them has excellent academic performance. In the school archives, there are still some of them with full marks."

"So my first sentence is: memorize military theory!"

"Now open the book "Tactics". The vernacular of tactics is the method of fighting. Specifically, it is to guide you in the future how to fight against Japan in a battle."

A class lasts for two hours, with a 5-minute restroom break in between.The first half of the class explained theoretical knowledge, and the second half of the class combined theoretical analysis of battle cases. From the Northern Expedition to the typical cases of World War I, Liu Yueyang was like a treasure, and he just opened his mouth.Not only can he hold the podium with one hand and talk for a long time, but he can also draw a picture of the offensive situation of both sides of the battle on the blackboard.

From 11:30 to 12:30, one hour to time, each brigade eats in the cafeteria in batches, and each brigade has a quarter of an hour.Go out and line up for a meal and take a seat, and it takes less than 10 minutes for the food to be delivered to your stomach.

From 12:30 to [-] o'clock, there is no practice activity, and of course it is impossible to be luxurious enough to give you a nap.This time period is a subject that every Whampoa student must learn: drawing homework.In the words of high-level officials: they are not even allowed to draw lines on paper, so why talk about commanding?
After two o'clock, it is the study of surgery. There are many things to learn, from basic shooting to the use of cannons, from lying down to riding a horse, and how to build bridges, cross rivers, dig trenches, set firepower points, etc. study.Of course, each brigade has its own emphasis, like the infantry brigade, as long as the cannon is caught, it can be fired, and the deviation of the fire within a radius of ten kilometers should not be too large.As for the artillery brigade, their requirements are even higher.

The above-mentioned learning is to be done step by step. At present, we only start from the simplest and most able to train order and team coordination.

"Infantry Division [-], all of them! Take Li Chong as the benchmark."

"Here!" Li Chong stood up straight with his head held high and his hands closed.

"Look to the right!" The instructor gave an order, and a large group of 150 people started pacing in a chaotic manner.

Starting from Li Chong, the first team leader, he basically had no military experience. Before entering the Whampoa school, many of them were students in colleges and middle schools. Apart from their passion for fighting the Japanese invaders, they had no basic military quality at all.In the past, the newly enrolled Whampoa students were selected from the army, but now that the Battle of Songhu is raging and the officers and soldiers are under pressure, how can we spare the time for outstanding officers and soldiers to study in the military academy?
But fortunately, many of these students who entered the school attended or graduated from prestigious schools, and they have a strong ability to accept learning. The only thing that is poor is some hands-on ability.

"Look forward! There is a distance of ten feet between the front and rear rows. Now I will demonstrate it to each row." Said the instructor ran to the middle of the first row, from standing at attention to turning left and turning right, including walking in unison Demonstrated all the small steps, every row, and finally ran to the front of the team again.

"Use Li Chong as the benchmark."

"To!"

"Look to the right, the distance of one punch from front to back and left to right."

"Look forward."

"Report to the instructor." A voice came from the middle of the team.

"speak."

"Instructor, we are here to learn how to fight devils. The military academy has used German-style training now. Why do we still come to the Soviet Union to practice?" The young man who stood up in the middle came out of Jiaotong University on the eve of the opening of Shanghai.Thinking that his family members were still being bombarded in Shanghai, he wished he could quickly develop his skills, and then lead the soldiers to fight against the Japanese invaders, so he seemed very anxious that Huangpu would let him stand in line now.

"First of all, I want to correct your mistake. German training also has three major drills, and the queue is one of them. Secondly, the army must have rules, and the soldiers must obey orders. Now that you have entered this gate, you must follow the rules of Whampoa. Follow the rules. Finally, from the moment you put on this uniform, don’t position yourself as a new soldier. The Whampoa Military Academy does not train soldiers, but officers. Correct your attitude and improve your self-demand. I want to learn from your ranks Morale can be seen in it, don't talk about fighting the Japanese invaders, put it in your drills."

"My answer is over. Now, 30 people will be divided into five groups, and the following groups will be carried out. Those who are unqualified will be selected and rested for others to continue."

"The first group has all of them, look ahead, take a rest, stand at attention! Walk together"

"Who is that, just you, straighten your hand. What are you doing, you dangling, tumbler? When ambushing on the battlefield, your small movements may expose the target!"

"You come out!"

"come out!"

The roommate Zuo Yuliang in bed No. [-] was caught by the instructor as a model.

"Oh, you stand up." The instructor went up and kicked his calf without any politeness at all. Zuo Yuliang staggered and fell to the ground. Li Chongxiao mourned for him.Speaking of which, this buddy was a policeman in Baoding, Hebei Province, who had worked for three years in his hometown. He didn't like the gang of policemen in his hometown who would only bully the weak and fear the hard. He came to Nanjing alone and applied for the Whampoa Military Academy.However, after working in the police force for three years, I have acquired some old-fashioned habits, but my nature is very good, but it is revealed inadvertently when walking in the queue.

Getting up from the ground, the hat on his head was crooked, and he looked a little funny.

"Raise your head, put your hat on, and stand at attention!" Zuo Yuliang hurriedly dusted off the dust, put on his hat, and stood upright.

"Is such a simple queue movement not enough? How can you be expected to mount a horse and lead troops to fight?" There is no doubt that Zuo Yuliang was washed away by the instructor.
