Chapter 1145 One month later
In a blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
Time has come July 20, 1939.
As soon as the genius was dawn, Zhong Yi was woken up by the set alarm clock. When he turned around, Zhang Manyi was sleeping soundly.
At this time, Zhang Manyi's belly was already bulging and she could only sleep on her back at night, so she was very tired. Ten months of pregnancy is really a huge and cruel test for women.
Zhong Yi took Zhang Manyi's hair lovingly, then bowed his head to kiss her on the forehead, and then got up.
Zhang Manyi hoped that Xiao Bing would come to accompany her at night, but Xiao Bing refused in the end. Xiao Bing is an independent and self-reliant new era woman. If she hadn't loved Zhong Yi to the core, she wouldn't have considered working with other women at all. But even if she loved Zhong Yi to the core, she would never stay in the Zhang family before getting married.
When I went down to the first floor, Xu Chao had already been waiting there and the car was ready.
As Zhong Yi's adjutant and personal guard, Xu Chao got up earlier than Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi set the alarm clock at five o'clock in the morning, and Xu Chao set the alarm clock at half past four o'clock, because he had to set at least half an hour to buy breakfast.
It was too early and the Zhang family didn’t have breakfast, so Xu Chao had to buy it on the street.
When Zhong Yi got into the car, he saw two pairs of big cakes and fried dough sticks on the seat next to him, and a pot of salty soy milk in a thermos pot. Zhong Yi likes salty soy milk, but not sweet.
Zhong Yi immediately sat down and had breakfast.
Xu Chao got into the driver's seat and started the car and drove out of the Zhang family villa.
It was only three or five kilometers from the Zhang family villa in Jiangbei to the large schoolyard in Jiangdong. There were almost no people except the vegetable vendors who were rushing to the morning market, so the journey was unobstructed. In less than five minutes, Zhong Yi rushed to the large schoolyard in Jiangdong. At this time, two pairs of fried dough sticks and cakes were just finished.
After drinking the last sip of soy milk, Zhong Yi got out of the car.
When Zhong Yi took Xu Chao into the main entrance of the university ground, Xu Mu and Liu Xiao had already led the Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment to wait on the campus ground for a long time.
As mentioned earlier, the Zhejiang East China Sea Defense Corps has three detachments under its jurisdiction. Xie Jinyuan’s first detachment is responsible for the defense of Hangzhou Bay, Cao Ziying’s second detachment is responsible for the direction of Ninghai Bay, and Zhong Yi personally served as the detachment leader, the third detachment is responsible for the security of Yinjiang City. Among them, Liu Zi was appointed as the 6th Regiment to guard Zhaobaoshan Fortress.
In the past month, Xu Mu's Eighth Regiment and Liu Xiao's Ninth Regiment have been training in the Jiangdong University Campus.
After more than a month of high-intensity military training, the Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment were very different in terms of mental outlook. The Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment looked like militia, but now, at least on the surface, it is already like a regular army.
Zhong Yi glanced over and saw that the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment were all wearing brand new summer clothes, steel helmets on their heads, short sleeves on their upper body, shorts on their lower body, and a pair of rubber-soled shoes. This outfit was only available to the previous Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, and even Central Army like the 11th Division did not.
The officers and soldiers of the two regiments not only dressed in seconds to kill other Central Army, but also had a huge gap in weapons and equipment.
In response to this, Xu Mu, the commander of the Eighth Regiment, said that Xu Mu was originally a battalion deputy of the Seventh Army of the Guangxi clique. The Seventh Army was the ace unit of the Guangxi clique and had the best equipment, but compared with their Zhejiang East China Sea Defense Corps, it was a slag.
In fact, not to mention the Gui army, even if the Central Army is comparing with their Coastal Defense Corps, it is a scumbag.
At this time, other central military units, even the backbone of civil engineering and the 11th Division, were generally used by officers and soldiers. Only one platoon had a Czech machine gun, one battalion had two civilian-type 24, and one regiment had several civilian-made 81 mortars, and the shells were only less than half a base.
But, what is their Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps?
As for the most basic combat unit squad, one squad of their Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps is almost equivalent to a platoon of other troops, with a total of 39 people.
Among them, there were 30 pure infantrymen, divided into three infantry groups, each with a Galand rifle.
There is another light machine gun team, with one chief and deputy shooter, equipped with a Browning light machine gun.
There is also a fire support team composed of three people, with a Thomson submachine gun being equipped with.
Finally, there was a four-person light mortar team equipped with a 60-caliber light mortar.
Therefore, the firepower strength of a squad of their Coast Defense Corps is enough to kill the firepower of a company of the Central Army in seconds!
Before, Xu Mu thought that if he had the chance, he would have to return to the Seventh Army of the old army, but now, he has no idea about this. He thinks it is good to stay in the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps.
Seeing Zhong Yi walking in slowly, Xu Mu and Liu Xiao shouted at the same time: "Everyone has it, stand up~~right!"
More than 7,000 officers and soldiers lined up together and stood at attention. A sound of sand immediately sounded on the field of the university.
Immediately, Xu Mu ran to Zhong Yi and said proudly: "Report to the Chief of Staff, the Eighth Regiment to the Third Detachment of the Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, and the Ninth Regiment has been assembled. Please give me instructions!"
Zhong Yi replied with a favor and said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, let's start."
"Yes!" Xu Mu responded with a loud bang, then ran back to the queue and said sternly, "Queen training... begins!"
With Xu Mu's order, more than 7,000 officers and soldiers from the Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment immediately started queuing training in platoons.
In the past month, Zhong Yi basically didn't take much care of the training of the first and second teams, and left it to Xie Jinyuan and Cao Ziying to take charge, but Zhong Yi was the leader in the three regiments of the third team.
What Xie Jinyuan and Cao Ziying do are similar, basically only focusing on two aspects: one is physical fitness, the other is military skills. Basically, they run long-distance runs every morning and evening, and then military skills training.
However, Zhong Yi is not. His physical training is similar. The third team also runs twenty kilometers every morning and evening. However, his daily training is divided into two halves by Zhong Yi. Military skills are trained in the morning and queue training is carried out in the afternoon.
Zhong Yi would rather sacrifice a certain level of military skills than insist on queuing training.
Because the experience of the People's Liberation Army in later generations has fully proved that queue training can well temper the will of officers and soldiers and effectively consolidate officers and soldiers into a whole!
What Zhong Yi introduced was the PLA's lineup, sprinting in a row, running... sprinting in a straight line!
The Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment, which took the platoon as a unit and walked forward in a row. Entered the front of the rostrum and changed to a sprint. After passing the rostrum, they cut back to a sprint. From the scene, there is no way to compare with the demarcation of the People's Liberation Army in the later generations, but it looks quite like that.
