Chapter 4 Soldiers

Xu Shijiu walked to Lu Jian Gang, stared at Lu Jian Gang's eyes and asked, "Company Commander Lu, are you not convinced?"

Lu Jianbang snorted from his nostrils again and did not answer the question, but the expression on his face was enough to explain everything. It was not that he was not convinced, but that he was very unconvinced.

"Yes." Xu Shijiu grinned and said to himself, "The 19th Brigade is just a battalion-level unit. Why should I recruit your 348th Regiment? I, Xu Shijiu, are just a remnant of the 19th Route Army. I have never been to the Central Military Academy, nor are I a student of the first five stages of Huangpu. What qualifications do you have to criticize you high-ranking students who have graduated from Central Military Academy?"

It is true that Lu Jian Gang was a monk of water and fire in his early years, but he couldn't stand the hardships of the temple and escaped down the mountain at the age of 18. Later, he was admitted to the Central Military Academy. After graduation last year, he was assigned to the platoon leader of the 348th Regiment of the 58th Division. Soon after, he was promoted to deputy company. Although he joined the 348th Regiment for a short time, he had great feelings for the 348th Regiment.

Faced with Xu Shijiu's joke, Lu Jianbang still didn't say anything, but in fact he just made a promise.

Xu Shijiu looked at Lu Jiangang, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually solidified, and his eyes gradually became cold. These students who graduated from the Central Military Academy were arrogant from the bottom of their bones, as if they were the only ones in the world who could lead troops and fight, not from the Whampoa Military Academy or the Central Military Academy, and were not even worthy of talking about military affairs, let alone commanding them.

Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi didn’t take Xue Yue seriously? The fundamental reason is that Xue Yue had never attended the Whampoa Military Academy, nor had he ever gone abroad. In the eyes of these Whampoa students, Xue Yue, who has experienced many battles, is a local man who does not understand military theory or modern warfare. What qualifications are there to point fingers at them?

Although the qualifications of this group of Central Military Academy students in Lu Jianbang are far inferior to those of the first five-stage students of the Huangpu period such as Gui Yongqing, the arrogance in their bones is consistent. Of course, when it comes to the fact that the Huangpu Military Academy or the Central Military Academy does have capital pride. They have almost never suffered much defeat from the founding of the Huangpu Army to the Northern Expedition. Whether it is the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, the Beiyang Army, the Gui Army, the Sichuan Army, the Hunan Army or the Northwest Army, they all beat them up.

But Xu Shijiu would never have any scruples just because Lu Jianbang is a student of the Central Military Academy.

There is a saying that is often spoken by General Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone. There are all soldiers who cannot be used in the world, and only generals who cannot be used. Xu Shijiu believes that there are all soldiers who cannot be managed in the world, and only generals who cannot be used in the world. In Xu Shijiu's eyes, the more the soldiers who are stabbed, the better they are, it depends on whether you can control them.

The Lujian Gang is undoubtedly a good soldier, but he is still a thorn now.

Xu Shijiu has some tricks for such a thorny head, but it is definitely not possible to force it. He has to use strategies. Aren’t you relying on your ability and identity as a student of the Central Military Academy? Okay, I will start with your most proud strengths and completely destroy your arrogant capital, and you don’t believe that you can’t deal with you.

"Company Commander Lu, there are no outsiders here. Let's open the skylight and say something bright. Let's add the remaining troops of your 348th Regiment into the 19th Brigade. It means that the division seat is not me, Xu, who intends to use the trip, but I can give you a chance, war games, weapons, sand tables, homework on the map, and choose any choice. As long as you can beat me, I can come forward to persuade the division seat and let him take it back into his life."

The Lu Jian Gang suddenly looked up and looked at Xu Shijiu in disbelief: "What do you say... seriously?"

"Take it seriously" Xu Shijiu's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he stabbed into the pupils of Lu Jiangang, and said in a deep voice, "War chess, sand tables, homework on the map, you can choose any choice. As long as you win me, I will convince the division to let you go back to the old army."

"Okay," Lu Jianbang said decisively, "There are no tools here and no sand tables, so just war games."

War chess was invented by a Prussian named Leswitz. After the first battle, it was introduced into actual combat. Soon after that, it became a compulsory course in every military academy. Of course, the Whampoa Military Academy also taught war chess, and Lu Jianbang was still a top-notch assessment. In war chess performance, even the instructors often lost to him. He would never believe that Xu Shijiu, a local man, could defeat him.

Looking around, Lu Jianbang found that there were more than a dozen small earthblocks not far from the sun yard. Because the rain was pouring, there were gullies on each earthblock, which was a complex mountain terrain. He said: "Just use that landblock as a map, the subject is mountain synthesis combat, with a type of A division, plus a cannon regiment."

Without saying a word, Xu Shijiu turned around and walked towards the small piece of land.

Seeing Xu Shijiu's casual appearance, Lu Jian Gang was inexplicably nervous. Has this guy also learned war games? But then Lu Jian Gang overturned his own ideas. It is impossible. Xu Shijiu has not received systematic military academy education at all, so how could he get in touch with the advanced subject of war games?

Half an hour later, another company commander of the 348th Regiment, Mu Enguang, also rushed over.

Mou Enguang and Lu Jian Gang are both infantry scientists of the 11th phase of the Central Military Academy, but Lu Jian Gang is the first regiment, and graduated two months earlier than Mou Enguang in the second regiment. Because of the same background and similar temperament, the two have a very good relationship. When they heard that Lu Jian Gang and others were fighting in the stadium outside the garage, they rushed over.

Mou Enguang thought that the fight had ended after coming over, and Xu Shijiu would probably not give up. Mou Enguang even believed that Xu Shijiu would take advantage of the situation and give them the remnants of the 348th Regiment. Thinking of this, Mou Enguang smiled coldly in his heart. If Xu Shijiu thought that this would make them surrender, it would be a big mistake.

But when Mou Enguang arrived at the drying yard, he was stunned. The scene was too different from what he imagined.

Xu Shijiu and Lu Jian helped each of them stand among the dozen small earthblocks by the drying field with a bamboo pole in their hands. They pointed at one of the small earthblocks, and were explaining that Xu Shijiu's little orderly soldier, who was under sixteen, was running around in the small earthblocks with a bundle of branches, sweating profusely.

There was also Zhang Youquan who fought with Lu Jian Gangguang, but he stood beside him like a dull goose.

After seeing it clearly, Mou En was stunned. Judging from this situation, were the two of them performing war chess?

Is the problem possible? Lu Jianbang graduated from the Central Military Academy and war chess is a compulsory subject. This is not surprising, but Xu Shijiu is just a wild path, so how could he do war chess? With such questions, Mou En did not stop at his barefoot. Soon he walked to Xu Shijiu, Lu Jibang and heard the two of them clearly.

Xu Shijiu pointed to the branch between the two small earthblocks with the bamboo pole in his hand and said, "Company Commander Lu, there is a blockage in front of your main regiment and pursuers behind you. The reinforcements were blocked twenty miles away. According to the rules of mountain warfare, this regiment can be determined to have been completely wiped out, right? And your artillery regiment may not be able to break out, right?"

Lu Jianbang was silent for a long time, and the expression on his face was even more embarrassing.

Xiaodanzi then strode over and proudly pulled out the branch representing the "Main Group of Lu's Division" from the ground. After that, he turned around and pulled out another branch representing the "Main Group of Lu's Division" not far away. Seeing that both branches were pulled out, Lu Jian's gang opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. It was like this, and everything he said was unnecessary.

Mou Enguang pulled the sleeves of Lu Jian Gang and wanted to ask him what was going on, but Lu Jian Gang had no response.

Li Mu, the communication platoon leader nicknamed "Li Yifeng", suddenly ran over and told Xu Shijiu that the commander was looking for him.

Xu Shijiu pointed at the bamboo pole in his hand and said to Lu Jiangang: "Company Commander Lu, do you still have to continue?"

"No need." Lu Jianbang threw the bamboo pole in his hand to the ground, and said very crisply, "I have lost."

Xu Shijiu smiled, with Zhang Youquan who was confused, Li Mu and the little dick who seemed to understand it. When the four of them walked far away, Mou Enguang nudged Lu Jiangang and frowned and asked, "What's going on with Lao Lu just now? You and Xu Shijiu are doing war chess deductions. I'm not wrong?

"You can see it yourself." Lu Jianbang pointed to the map beneath his feet.

Then Mou Enguang lowered his head and carefully observed the ground under his feet. As a result, he became more and more frightened. These dozen small landblock communities had already been set as maps of mountain warfare. The cliffs, forests, rivers and grasslands were clearly marked. More than a dozen small landblocks even had elevation settings. It is estimated that artillery troops would participate in the battle.

"This, is this possible?" Mou Enguang couldn't believe it.

"I don't believe it either, but it's true." Lu Jianbang breathed a long sigh, as if he wanted to vent the depression in his heart in this breath, and said, "Brother Enguang, although Xu Shijiu has never been to the military academy, his military theoretical foundation is not inferior to you and me at all. His practical experience, tactical application, and command attainments are far above you and me. I can't accept it."

"Brother Jianbang, you won't change your mind, right?" Mou Enguang said worriedly, "We agreed."

"I am willing to accept the loss. Since I lost to Xu Shijiu, I have to bear the consequences of the loss. I decided to stay." After Lu Jiangang said that, he walked back, took a few steps and turned around, and said, "Brother Enguang, in fact, he fights the Japanese everywhere. Whether it is the 348th Regiment or the Independent Battalion, what's the difference between them in the same national army?"

On the way back to the command center, Xiaodianzi asked Xu Shijiu: "Captain, will Company Commander Lu stay?"

"Then you need to say it?" Before Xu Shijiu could answer Zhang Youquan, he rushed to say, "Didn't you see it just now? The guy from Lu Jian's defeat was so green that he dared to lie to the debt, so he would not want to stay in the national army in the future."

Xiaodanzi asked in great fascination: "Captain, are you playing chess just now?"

"It can be considered." Xu Shijiu smiled, "but it is much more complicated than ordinary chess."

Xiaodanzi asked with great pleasure: "Captain, can you teach me how to play such chess?"

"Okay, but you have to recognize your sister Yaqin first." Xu Shijiu said, "When you recognize all the 3,600 new characters on the new word table, I will teach you how to play war games."
