Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Zhao Yanbin, Ma Wenyuan, and Xia Liqiu are all soldiers of the Sixth Division of the Second Army of the Chinese European Expeditionary Force. At this moment, they are getting up from the bellies of their respective French mistresses and preparing to report back to the army. The three-day holiday is gone in a blink of an eye. It's really unpleasant to think about it.

The three belonged to the first squad of the third battalion, the fifth company, and the 61st regiment of the sixth division. Among them, Zhao Yanbin was from Xinyang, Henan, a sergeant in the army, and his position was the deputy squad leader. The youth army, which belonged to the kind supplemented during the war, was then assigned to the recruit battalion as a squad leader as a veteran.This person is introverted and doesn't hesitate to talk too much, but he is very righteous, so everyone respects him very much on weekdays.

Ma Wenyuan is from Anqing, Anhui. This year, he is bold and cautious. He likes to chatter a lot. He is stout. This is the first person in the camp to pick up a French girl. Speaking of which, he has been in France for a few months. He can't speak a word of French, and everyone really doesn't know how he overthrew the French girl.This Ma Wenyuan was also very cheerful, and he demonstrated it in public. He first lifted a piece of bread, and then pointed to his own bottom, which made the whole class burst into laughter on the spot.

Xia Liqiu's situation is different from the two. He is only 19 years old this year from Changsha, Hunan. He looks gentle, but his body is very strong.It is said that before joining the army, he was a student of Hunan No. [-] Normal School. He liked to engage in literary and artistic creation. After joining the army, he kept a diary every day. Ma Wenyuan often joked about this and asked him if he also wrote the content of having sex with French girls in his diary Go, Xia Liqiu's attitude towards this is basically the same, no bird is like a bird.

It's just that these three eccentric personalities have become good friends, and they have also carried guns and prostitutes together. This is probably beyond the imagination of many people.

"I said how did this holiday pass so quickly?" Ma Wenyuan said with a yawn, it seemed that he worked overtime again last night.

Zhao Yanbin shook his head and said, "What's the rush, as long as we can survive, is there any shortage of vacations like this?"

Xia Liqiu nodded to express his approval: "What do you think the German guy on the other side looks like? Can we fight?"

Ma Wenyuan laughed loudly and said, "What else can it look like? It's just two arms and one head. What are you afraid of? I'm really afraid that I won't be able to fight, so I hide behind my brother. I'm not afraid of these Germans."

Xia Liqiu was not to be outdone: "Who's afraid, you take a good look at it, I will definitely kill a few Germans to show you, the political instructors have said that the Germans are not good birds, they will lead the Eight Kingdoms in the Year of Gengzi When the coalition forces entered Beijing, they committed burning, killing, looting and everything. Now our country must defeat these Germans if it wants to rise.”

Zhao Yanbin interrupted Xia Liqiu in a low voice: "Xiao Xia, just listen to those lip service words, don't take them seriously, the first thing to do on the battlefield is to protect yourself, and the second is to kill the enemy. This kind of thing is different from training, I participated in the second battle in Hubei and Anhui last year. I didn’t feel scared when I didn’t experience it. Alas, when I was under shells and when I was charging, it became very difficult to breathe, so don’t think about anything It’s so beautiful, the two companions who came out of Xinyang with me were killed in Chaohu.”

Ma Wenyuan made an excuse: "Didn't the battalion commander of our battalion come to France more than half a year earlier than us? I heard that the cannons of the German guy are much stronger than those of the Beiyang Army. I guess this battle was terrible. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have worn a condom. Maybe that French chick will have a baby for me."

The three of them chatted one after another and returned to the Sixth Division's garrison, although the attitude of the expeditionary army was to turn a blind eye in terms of private life.However, military discipline is still very strict. If anyone dares to miss the holiday, no matter who they are, they will be shot dead by the order of Zhang Zizhong, the big devil.

The 25-year-old Zhang Zizhong is undoubtedly a legend in the youth army. At this time last year, this kid was still a prisoner of war in Hengyang.As a result, relying on the appreciation of Wang Zhenyu's good brother Lu Diping, in a short period of one year, he successively served as battalion commander and regiment commander, and then because of his excellent performance in the Ma'anshan blockade.In this expeditionary army, Zhang Zizhong was even appointed as the division commander and the rank of major general. Such a promotion speed is very rare when the entire youth army system is becoming more and more stable.

He was neither from the teaching team nor an old member of the Tiger Brigade, and even his backer was Lu Diping who joined the group halfway.The only thing Zhang Zizhong can rely on is his own ability. After the Sixth Division of the Expeditionary Army was handed over to Zhang Zizhong, he took care of him in a submissive manner. The military discipline has become extremely strict.During the training, whether it is live ammunition shooting or civil engineering work, it is strictly forbidden to go through the process. If anyone's shooting fails to meet the standard number of rings, I'm sorry, what is waiting for you is the continuous nighttime emergency assembly of the entire army.Zhang Zizhong personally checked and accepted the civil work, if the depth and width did not meet the standard, if the fortifications were not strong enough.Then I'm sorry, Zhang Zizhong's bad temper will break out, he will whip people with the horsewhip in his hand, and when it's over, he will let you dig again, and he will not be allowed to eat or rest if he does not meet the standards. . .

From top to bottom, the Sixth Division feared Zhang Zizhong far more than the enemy. They would rather face the enemy's bayonet than face the division commander's horsewhip.

On the other hand, Zhang Zizhong was still very concerned about ordinary soldiers, and strictly prohibited officers from corporal punishment and abuse of soldiers at will, although he himself beat and kicked the officers below him at every turn.For sick soldiers, Zhang Zizhong also strictly forbids them to continue to exercise, and often goes to the health department of the division headquarters to visit the wounded and sick, and ask for their health.And after every seven days of high-intensity training, Zhang Zizhong will not hesitate to give the soldiers a three-day holiday. As for whether you are sleeping or playing with women, Zhang Zizhong generally doesn't care.But every time before the holidays, Zhang Zizhong would warn his soldiers with a stern face: "If you grandsons dare not wear condoms during sex, if something goes wrong when you come back, I will cut your pussy off." The result was naturally a burst of laughter from the soldiers.

In addition, Zhang Zizhong also paid great attention to the soldiers' diet and nutritional supplements. He even went out to hunt in person to provide extra meals for the officers and soldiers.

All these things, although young, Zhang Zizhong's personal prestige was unceremoniously established in the Sixth Division of the Expeditionary Army.This also made Zhang Zizhong one of the four great tiger generals of the expeditionary army (the so-called four tiger generals refer to Xia Wei, Ye Kaixin, He Yingqin, and Zhang Zizhong. Among them, Xia Wei is good at attacking, Zhang Zizhong is good at defending, Ye Kaixin is good at both offense and defense, and He Yingqin is good at sending out surprise troops).

Ma Wenyuan was whipped by Zhang Zizhong because of laziness in training. It felt hot, and the most important thing was the sense of humiliation. Zhang Zizhong has become a father-like existence in everyone's eyes. That would be a shame.So after getting through the braids, despite Ma Wenyuan's carefree personality, he trained very seriously, and his bayonet fighting skills were the best in the battalion.This kid has a low center of gravity, a stable foot, and a thick build. It is said that he could easily overturn a cow in the countryside. His explosive power is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Although Xia Liqiu was born as a student soldier, he also learned a unique skill in training, that is, shooting. For ordinary targets, he can shoot casually within a straight line distance of 100 meters, no matter how he hits.

Zhao Yanbin doesn't show his mountains and dew his water, but this Henan native has two very special abilities.One is to run fast, and the distance of 100 meters can be easily passed in only 11 seconds.The second is to throw a grenade. At a distance of 60 meters, the grenade is more accurate than the grenade, basically referring to hitting that.

The excellent individual ability also made the fifth company the backbone company of the third battalion, and was always on the front line in the subsequent battle against Germany. . .

On April 4, the coalition forces issued the first combat mission to the Chinese European Expeditionary Force.In fact, it is a rather nonsensical task, because in the western section of the entire front, the French army had to withdraw troops from the eastern end near Luxembourg to supplement it because of the heavy losses in the Battle of the Somme at the end of last year.But in this way, the eastern end of the front line also needs troops to supplement, especially the Verdun area needs troops to guard, so Marshal Fuxi, chief of the French army's general staff, unceremoniously threw Verdun to Bai Chongxi, Just stay here, kid.

Bai Chongxi was not polite, and immediately accepted the task, but the premise was that Bai Chongxi had the final say on how to keep it, so Wang Zhenyu, the big butterfly, finally began to affect the course of the First World War.

It is impossible for such a huge military mobilization not to alarm the Germans. We must know that the German intelligence agencies were also well-known during World War I.And when the German General Staff learned that the French had transferred 20 main forces from the Verdun area to the Western Front, and then replaced them with 20 troops from China to guard Verdun.They clearly felt that an opportunity to break the current stalemate on the battlefield was once again in front of them. . .

"Brother Baili, so you think the Germans will use this defense to attack us?" Bai Chongxi asked Jiang Baili standing in front of the sand table with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Baili nodded and said: "This is inevitable. After all, we are soft persimmons in the eyes of the Germans. If we don't pinch our soft persimmons, then it is not the character of the Germans. I believe this is also an opportunity for the Germans. The war has ended. It's been going on for almost three years, and now it's 1.1 meters of war on the move, and they need a breakthrough more than the French to end this long war."

Bai Chongxi looked at Zhu Zhixin and the others present and said: "Then let's adjust the deployment and see how to entertain these uninvited German friends. The staff department will come up with a plan. This time we will focus on defense. Talking about making big claims like national prestige, at least let our so-called allies and the Germans on the opposite side see if we are a persimmon or not?"
