Chapter 396: Opening up
"No one will favor you just because you can fight, and you will be fine! You are not even a big deal..."
Li Dazhu's roar suddenly woke Guo Xiaowu up! Suddenly, he sat up, lifted the quilt and ordered: "Get out!"
Now at Mao hour, at 5 a.m.! There is still a silver moon hanging high in the sky, and the bright moon is in the sky. Under Guo Xiaowu's command, several gunshots sounded in the camp. The soldiers sleeping in the tent suddenly opened their eyes and began to clean up quickly.
In fifteen minutes, all the tents were collected, disassembled and loaded onto the baggage truck.
"gather……"
"gather……"
oh da da da da da da da da...
With the command of the infantry battalion commander, the soldiers quickly gathered together! Huang Binglong rode his war horse and pulled out his saber, then roared: "In five minutes, hurry!"
The assembly of the cavalry battalion was fast. Although the artillery machine gunners who cooperated with the cavalry carried the most weight, they were the first to assemble and waited in a heavy sound of footsteps.
The first, second and third battalions gathered with the cavalry, and five logistics vehicles were arranged at the end, guarded by brothers No. 500 in the logistics camp.
"The army across the country is gathering to fight to the death with the Japanese army, two thousand three hundred miles away.
It is the sixth day of the seventh month, and we only have twelve days. In the early morning of July 18th, we must arrive at the battlefield.
This is the order!
We march no less than one hundred kilometers every day, which is a challenge.
I believe we can do it! What I need is a full speed march, giving us only seven hours of sleep.
On the way to Shanghai, this is a training session! One time is no less than the devil training you just got compiled.
Rest every day at midnight, get up at Mao, start after rebelling for half an hour at Chen, set off after rebelling for half an hour at noon, set off after rebelling for half an hour at You, set off after rebelling for half an hour at You.
Three meals a day, meat can be found every meal! The steamed buns, dried food and water can be made with great strength.
You need to march for fourteen hours, running 7 kilometers per hour before you can reach Shanghai before July 16th.
Do you have confidence!?”
Guo Xiaowu asked yellingly.
"Yes!" The answer was deafening and uniform! It inspires the morale of the army and makes all the soldiers confident.
It takes 7 kilometers per hour, and the speed is not very fast! If you don’t have to bear the weight, you can walk five kilometers.
But the difficulty lies in the fact that they have to run around the clock when eating and sleeping, which is 1.5 times the speed of carrying loads and marching on their usual loads.
This is a serious test of the limits of the body. If you can't bear it, you will fall behind quickly! This will be like this for a long time and you may be exhausted to death.
But they had to do this, and the trains that could transport soldiers were requisitioned, and Guo Xiaowu was not a great warlord of this era.
He can't compare with Sichuan Army, Guangdong Army, Guilin, Hubei and Guangxi, and those large corps with acquired strength.
"Okay! Let's go." Guo Xiaowu ordered.
Cavalry is in front, baggage is in middle, infantry is behind! They are lined up in a long dragon and marched in a mighty way.
They need to run for two consecutive hours before they can stop. This is the first time he runs. After breakfast, he needs to run for a longer time.
After leaving Baoding City, the soldiers still held on and were all tired and squatted on the ground. They were panting and yelling, yelling and hitting, and stood up.
"Training regulations, you should not lie down and sit on the ground as soon as possible after training, stand up and recover your strength before squatting down.
Those who disobey training regulations will whip twenty."
The third platoon leader of the guard platoon, Murong Yiqing, rode Guo Xiaowu's war horse, galloped beside a long row of rows, roaring.
"If officers above the squad leader fail to comply with the supervisor, those who violate the training regulations will be beaten fifty."
Murong Yiqing shouted, his voice roaring and a little hoarse.
"Who is tired and I stand and breathe, don't blame me for enforcing the law!" The squad leader scolded his brother.
There are many such scoldings. Some squad leaders with poor physical strength and the company commanders endure their tired bodies and scold their subordinates.
The cooking class made meat soup, carrying a shoulder pole, one end was soup and the other end was steamed buns! It was delivered to the hands of the brothers.
This time, Guo Xiaowu did not specify a five-minute meal time to let the brothers eat and drink well.
Each cook sent a dish of food, but only one bowl of broth, enough steamed buns, and there were one or two hundred steamed buns in this basket.
I took seven or eight of them to eat, and four or five of them to eat less! The steamed buns that dared to come out of the steamer were soft and delicious, although the corn mixed with wheat bran was a bit astringent to the throat.
The cooks did not follow him. Each battalion had a cooking squad. They all followed the baggage truck and did not consume more energy.
They need to follow the baggage truck to stop thirty minutes in advance and cook after they are buried in the pot. They only have forty minutes to prepare the meal, even if they are delivered to the brothers to replenish their energy.
"I thought it was not far away for an hour, but I was exhausted when I ran down." A soldier squatted on the ground after eating and drinking.
"That's not calculated. We ran for two hours, not seven kilometers, but fourteen kilometers. We have already left Baoding City for thirty miles.
Can brothers run away?" the squad leader asked, roaring. He needed to cheer for his brothers. If there were any one who had left his team, it would be embarrassing.
"able!"
"able!"
"able!"
The platoon leaders of each squad in the entire team cheered the brothers and their responses were as fluctuating as waves.
Seeing that the brothers were full of confidence, Guo Xiaowu looked at the watch in his hands. There were still 40 minutes left before the departure time, and said to Deputy Commander Yu beside him: "I like them!"
"Room! They were all from bandits. They used to be surrounded by officers and soldiers, but many of them fleeing their lives. They put their heads on their belts, and they were all very tigers.
They are all unyielding, and no one thinks they are a soft boy, they are all comparing." Deputy Commander Yu smiled.
"The desperate people have the courage that others do not have. In fact, the desperate people most hope is to live." Guo Xiaowu looked at his brothers and said.
"Yes, actually, what is the difference between our soldiers and their despair? The strong people in this world are respected. If you want to be a strong person, you must keep your head alive." Deputy Commander Yu sighed in his tone.
Seeing the cook delivering the food here, Guo Xiaowu and Deputy Head Yu jumped off the horse. They ate the same food as their brothers, steamed buns and pieces of pork soup.
There are a few pieces of fat meat in the broth, sweet potato flour and some cabbage leaves.
The two of them ate very quickly and had a very sweet meal! Neither of them said anything while eating.
"There are thirty minutes left! Give me a good rest and restore my strength. The next two hours will be a journey, and I will give it all." Li Dazhu ran in his camp on a war horse, cheering his brothers up.
"Let's listen to the second battalion! Follow the first battalion, who will fall into the team? Being caught up by the brothers from the third battalion, I will see if I don't take care of you.
None of my brothers, Song Er, admits to his conscience."
"Oh my uncle, our third battalion is at the bottom! Let me keep up with you and lose the team! Don't blame me for not recognizing others with my whip." Zhou Dazhuo roared.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the cooks packed up the dishes and climbed onto the baggage car.
"All queues..."
With almost five minutes left, the battalion commanders roared, and the baggage car started with a humming sound.
Chapter completed!
