Chapter 10 Outdoor Pulling Practice 2

  The next day, at dawn, the artillery company was bustling with activity as the Sichuan Army's artillery company began its march and training exercise.

  According to the plan, Liu Ergou led each class to march along the military route, while Chen Xiaoping, the company's clerk, brought three primary school graduates to move among the companies, boosting the morale of all officers and soldiers. The training platoon was responsible for receiving troops and supervising the training process.

  As he watched the long queue of messages in front of him, Yang Da Niu's face showed a worried expression: "Commander, it's extremely dangerous for the soldiers. If we take the troops out like this, there may be too many problems."

  Yang Xing nodded, and said to the instructor squad beside him: "Yes, the troops are practicing, and this training is rare in domestic military. When I reported this training project to the regimental commander, his face was very ugly at that time, although he finally agreed after betting. So, our instructor squad is very important. You lead a class as a container unit, and drive all the dropped units forward. And I will lead two classes, either go back and forth to supervise each department, or go back and forth to solve the difficulties encountered in the process of leading the team."

  He immediately handed over the horse to guard Yang Siwa and followed with two classes.

  The sun is very big, especially in the weather of Chengdu Plain in May. It can be said that the sun is shining brightly, and people walking on the road are sweating profusely, feeling extremely hot and stuffy.

  It's already midday, the scorching sun is shining brightly on people, making it feel especially hot. Yang Xing wiped his sweat and led the troops to inspect each department. Liu Er Gou had already sent a message twice requesting that the whole company take a break, but Yang Xing insisted: "It's only just past 12 o'clock now, the sun is not at its strongest yet. It will be strongest around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. We should run to the forest 15 miles ahead and use it for shade, also use the small river next to the forest to drink water. The military map indicates that there is a small river next to the forest."

  Seeing the lazy expression of all the soldiers, thinking of Cao Cao's looking at the plum blossoms and stopping his thirst, almost didn't think twice, just told everyone that there was a patch of plum trees in the forest ahead, with fruit hanging from the branches. But suddenly had an epiphany, thinking that we are a revolutionary army, how can we be like Cao Cao and rob the villagers' fruit?

  It suddenly occurred to him that the 100 taels of silver sent by General Yin Da had only spent 20 taels, and there were still 80 taels left unspent. He immediately ordered Chen Xiaoping to pass on the order: Everyone hurry up, for the first three teams that arrive at the front forest, I will buy a pig to satisfy their hunger.

  Everyone listened, although being a soldier and eating rations, but after the Republic of China, each department's salary was difficult to pay on time, many brothers had not eaten meat for a month. Upon hearing this, the crowd's emotions surged, and the entire troop burst out with energy again. Everyone chased each other, running towards that grove of trees.

  The fourth guard saw that he was quite puzzled and asked Yang Xing: "Squad leader, are the brothers enthusiastic about training or do they want to eat meat?"

  He didn't think much of it and with a wave of his hand to the brothers around him, he immediately joined the ranks of the emergency army.

  At 12:50, Yang Xing was quite satisfied to see each class rushing to the edge of the forest. Seeing everyone's excitement, some class leaders asked from a distance: "Company Commander, all members of the 2nd platoon and 3rd squad have arrived, and the whole class is requesting to eat meat."

  Yang Xing directed each battalion to set up camp on the spot, while also dispatching water carriers and supervising some soldiers to avoid bad living habits in order to reduce heatstroke incidents.

  Just then, three rows of King Four rushed over and complained: "Company Commander, our squad's Niu Yong has fainted."

  Yang Xing was shocked and immediately ran over. He saw Lang Zhong giving him silver needle treatment, after a round of rescue, finally saved Niu Yong's son.

  However, this also caused a panic among the soldiers. Some platoon leaders came to Yang Xingdao one after another: "Commander, we can't continue training like this. You know that if there's another heat stroke or someone faints, we'll be uneasy."

  Yang Xing was quite annoyed and asked the imperial physician beside him: "Imperial Physician Zhu, how did Yu Rong faint from heatstroke? His body is very good, how could he faint?"

  The doctor thought for a moment and said: Lian Chang, in my humble opinion, Yong Wa Zi should have jumped into the river to take a bath, which is why he fainted.

  Looking at Wang Si Ma, with eyes that seemed to devour people, he asked: "Wang Pai Zhang, is this how you do things? I've repeatedly emphasized the importance of military discipline, and yet you're all doing well, from 6 am to now, 7 hours have passed, the army has marched over 80 miles, and yet you still allowed the brothers to take a bath. Are you not aware of the situation, or are you not willing to do your job?"

  After Yang Xing found the root of the problem, the team leader hastily shut his mouth, afraid that Yang Xing would get angry and no longer dared to mention giving up the military expedition.

  Yang Xing saw Wang Sima lowering his head and suddenly laughed: Aren't you, Wang Sima, in good physical condition? Wait, after Yongwa wakes up, you carry Yongwa to the camp.

  Everyone heard this, and the atmosphere suddenly became very relaxed. Some people said with ill intentions: "Lian Chang is so clever, Wang Si Ma said yesterday that it was 150 miles away. If they were to get sick on the way back, he could carry them back."

  Sweating profusely, Wang Si Ma shook his head repeatedly and refused to admit it. He also claimed that after a morning of marching, he was quite tired himself, so how could he have the energy to carry a hundred or more pounds of Yong Wa Zi?

  He took the water handed over by Siwa and drank a mouthful, saying: "Wang Paichang, this is where you are wrong. Didn't we say that this exercise should be close to actual combat? If I were injured on the battlefield and had to go to the rear hospital, you Wang Sima would not care about me."

  Wang Sima heard this and repeatedly said: Lian Zhang, you absolutely cannot say that. On the battlefield, bullets do not have eyes, don't say such things. If that day really comes, I, Wang Sima, would rather give up my life than fail to protect Captain Lian.

  Yang Xing laughed and said: "Wang Paichang, you're really something. This isn't a drill, is it? You didn't want to do it during training exercises, now that we're on the battlefield, I suppose I have no choice but to leave it up to fate."

  Yang Xingyi was anxious, Wang Si Ma hurriedly said: Since it's to show loyalty to Lian Zhuo, then I'll carry it on my back.

  Yang Xing laughed and said: "Fourth, in the past, it was said that among soldiers, they were all sworn brothers. What does this mean? Everyone shares the same joys and hardships, and faces difficulties together. As a squad leader, if your comrades are suffering from heatstroke, you should of course take care of them. Conversely, when everyone puts themselves in others' shoes, on the battlefield, they gradually become united in their desires, thus forming an organic whole.

  Wang Sima heard that he was in charge of taking care of Yongwa, and unexpectedly had such a big problem, so he nodded repeatedly.

  After finally suppressing the heat stroke incident, Zhu Lang immediately asked for advice and inquired about what behaviors might lead to heat stroke and how to resolve it during the process.

  Then, gather all the soldiers in the regiment for an emergency assembly, tell everyone why Yongwa Zi fainted. Yang Xing said: Before the march, we made a detailed plan to avoid problems during the march. However, everyone took our regulations as nothing and didn't listen, nor did anyone restrain the soldiers. After the urgent march, I saw that the river water was cool and jumped into the river to take a bath, which seriously affected the combat morale of the whole regiment. Now it is decided that Yongwa Zi will be publicly criticized for violating the marching regulations once. The third squad leader and the class leaders who failed to restrain their subordinates will each be given a warning.

  This incident is also a good example to tell everyone that during our battles and marches, the organizational discipline we established has restrictions on everyone, although some of them seem inhumane, but there is no doubt that they have protected everyone and protected this army.

  Of course, for the entire company, for the first three classes to arrive, after returning to the garrison, I will invite everyone to eat meat. For those who failed to arrive on time, I hope you can summarize your experience and learn from it. In future training exercises, those with strong physical strength should take care of those with weak physical strength, and those with weak physical strength should strengthen their training in the future. Summarize the lessons learned so that we can make achievements on the battlefield in the future.

  Then, in the Zhulang middle school, the officers and soldiers were one by one to explain the matters needing attention in the process of marching, telling everyone how to avoid heatstroke, and how to deal with it after heatstroke. After that, the whole team gathered together for a summary discussion.

  After finishing lunch at noon, it was already 3 pm. Looking out at the scorching sun, some people murmured after receiving the order to march. A squad leader came to ask Yang Xing: "Comrade Captain, isn't this a training exercise? With the sun being so strong now, can we wait a bit and set off an hour later? That way, the brothers can rush through the night and arrive earlier."

  Yang Xing looked at the platoon leader with disdain and said, "Yes, this is a drill, not combat. But have you ever thought that if we can't even get our troops out during drills, how will you be able to do so in actual combat?"

  Listening to Yang Xing's scolding, the platoon leader felt somewhat wronged and said: "Platoon Leader, it's because the brothers don't obey orders. If we were in battle, if you told the brothers to go up, they wouldn't say a word and would definitely go up. But now that we're training, you have the brothers out under such a big sun, and the brothers are quite resentful."

  With a glance, I looked at this long queue: four rows long, I have no doubt that when the time comes, my brothers may be able to get on. But what about the effect? If it is not a unit that has undergone rapid march training in the afternoon, even if it can ensure that it can be pulled out on the battlefield, how can it guarantee that it will win? If an army fails as soon as it goes up, and is eliminated by the enemy, then this army has no need to exist.

  Seeing the fourth row still wanting to argue, Yang Xing's mouth curled up and said: Fourth row, what is a soldier's duty? A soldier's duty is to execute orders. Tell your brothers, although you have complaints in your heart, execute the orders.

  Under such high pressure, Quan Lianba rushed towards Jindong direction.
