    The year 1921 passed quickly, and the New Year of 1922 was coming. While the people were happily preparing to celebrate the New Year, a large number of troops were assembled in the military camp far away in Yumen.

    "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Follow up quickly!"

    "Where are you sticking your head, kid? Do you want to take a shot?"

    "Charge! Why are you hiding behind when you're already in front of the position? Charge out!"

    In a simulated training ground, an infantry battalion and a tank company were training for coordinated operations. Several officers wearing red armbands were riding motorcycles in the team, commanding the troops while shouting and cursing loudly.  When I saw a few stupid young people acting without permission according to the training outline, I rushed over and punched and kicked them.

    In the hills not far away, several senior officers raised their binoculars and looked at the chaotic "battlefield" and couldn't help but frown.

    "What kind of tank-infantry coordination is this? Does it look like it can win a battle?" The leader, with three gold stars on his shoulders shining brightly in the sun, put down his binoculars and asked with an unhappy expression.

    Beside him, a fat man was wiping the sweat on his head with a handkerchief. Although the temperature in Yumen could sometimes be as high as 16 or 7 degrees during the day, it was winter after all. It was unbelievable that he was sweating so much in this weather.  And to what extent the fat man was facing the psychological pressure of the general in front of him.

    "This humble humble army is carried out in accordance with the training outline of the General Staff Headquarters, and there are absolutely no unauthorized changes" Looking at the cold face of his boss, the fat man hurriedly explained.

    "It's a mess! I think it's better to use the tank as a cannon to make it more economical. How can we defeat the opponent with such a mindless charge? People often say that Wu Ziyu is a good soldier, but I think it's nothing more than that."  The general made an unceremonious comment, and several officers around him nodded in approval and praised the immediate superior in front of him.

    "Commander, I don't think so!" Unexpectedly, a discordant voice suddenly came out from the crowd, and the scene immediately became calm, and everyone looked at the person who spoke.

    I saw that the man who spoke was tall, with handsome features, but there was a hint of perseverance and determination in his expression. Judging from his military rank, he was only a lieutenant colonel.  It stands out among the crowd of stars.

    The fat man was startled when he saw the person who was speaking. He winked at the person and scolded him before the superior reprimanded him: "Xue Boling, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't think you just learned a few tricks in the military academy.  I don¡¯t know how high the sky is, but the commander was killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood, doesn¡¯t he know more about military matters than you do?¡±

    "Huhthat's not necessarily" Xue Yue shut up after being scolded, but he was not convinced. He felt that it was not a soldier's behavior to use military rank and qualifications to suppress others, and that's right.  As the top officer of the Northwest Military Region, you, Lu Jianzhang, are indeed good at leading troops in battles. You understood this problem in one fell swoop during the battle to encircle and suppress Bailang. Moreover, Lu Jianzhang was even more famous when he was in the capital, following the former President Yuan Shikai on his expeditions to the north and south.  He fought in many battles and made many meritorious deeds.  But this is no longer the era. The world's military is changing with each passing day, and fighting wars in the same old way can no longer keep up with the pace of development.

    "Haha. You still have to let the young man say a few words, Jia Yuqian. Is this young man your subordinate?" After being contradicted, Lu Jianzhang was not angry. On the contrary, he became angry when he saw the unconvinced look on Xue Yue's face.  Interested, he asked with a smile to the fat man just now, Xue Yue's brigade commander Jia Zongrang.

    "Commander, he is indeed a humble subordinate. He is Xue Yue and Xue Boling, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 322nd Regiment. He graduated from the Central Military Academy. Commander, Xue Boling is a talented student of the military academy. He is a good leader in daily life, but he is young and popular.  Sheng. I spoke carelessly, so please forgive me, Commander"

    "Oh, I didn't expect to be your junior." Lu Jianzhang was amused when he heard this. Jia Zongrang was in the first batch of Baoding Military Academy. The predecessor of the Central Military Academy was Baoding Military Academy. It means that Jia Zongrang and Xue Yue are indeed seniors and juniors. See  It would be good for the two of them to have a personal relationship, otherwise Jia Zongrang's character would not protect this young man so much in front of him.

    Jia Zongrang nodded awkwardly, turned slightly and kept winking at Xue Yue, signaling him to quickly apologize to Lu Jianzhang.  Although Xue Yue was nicknamed Tiger Boy and was usually fearless and stubborn, he was not a brainless person. He reluctantly took a few steps forward and saluted Lu Jianzhang first. After he put down his hand, he said loudly: "I'm sorry, Commander! I'm humble.  If you make remarks without the commander¡¯s consent, please punish him!¡±

    Lu Jianzhang looked Xue Yue up and down, burst out laughing, pointed at him, turned to the officers behind him and said with a smile: "Look, this kid is still not convinced. What's wrong with his unauthorized remarks? Give me  Think of it as the Ministry of Justice? I don¡¯t care what you say, where is this military law in the military?Reason?  "

    "hehe¡­¡­."

    "hey-hey¡­¡­."

    Everyone laughed in a row. Only Jia Zong asked secretly to cry. This Xue Yue was really so. It would be necessary to pay a good gift. What text games had to play? Is Lu Jianzhang so troublesome?  A dignified army general and commander of the Northwest Military Region, dealing with a little lieutenant colonel like you is as easy as squeezing an ant to death.

    After laughing for a while, Lu Jianzhang waved to Xue Yue, and when the other party came to him, he asked directly: "Although the world gives me the title of Lu's 'Butcher', as a soldier, I am not an unreasonable person. Since you said  What I just said was wrong, so let me listen to what you, a talented student from the military academy, have to say. If you agree, there will be a reward! If you say it badly, huh, then don¡¯t blame me for being rude"

    In the blink of an eye, Lu Jianzhang, who was so kind a second ago, became murderous and stared at Xue Yue with cold eyes. Jia Zong, who was standing aside, was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.

    Who knew that Xue Yue was not afraid at all and still stood upright. After Lu Jianzhang finished speaking, Xue Yue immediately replied: "Since the commander wants to humble his position, then he will be bold today."

    "Okay! You say it!" Lu Jianzhang nodded. Although his eyes were still stern, he also had a hint of appreciation for this bold young man.

    Facing Lu Jianzhang, whose military rank was much higher than his own, Xue Yue was not timid at all. On the contrary, he immediately started talking.  He first described the war methods before the European War, which included both foreign battles and domestic tactics.  After that, he gradually talked about the European war that had just ended, describing the various tactical characteristics from the early to the middle and late stages of the war, especially positional warfare, barbed wire trench warfare, etc., which he mentioned in detail.  The British used tanks as weapons for the first time in the war in order to break through the German defense lines.

    After that, Xue Yue pointed out based on actual conditions that after automatic weapons were equipped in large numbers in the army, the original wars using concentrated charges and even volleys of gun fire were outdated, and would be replaced by skirmishing and defensive warfare. This has been confirmed in the European wars.  In view of the new combat method, how to break through the enemy's positions and defenses is an important means to win the war. It is a very difficult task to complete the task in the face of a solid defense line with only ordinary soldier charges and artillery support. Then the emergence of tanks is  Used as an assault.

    Tanks have strong armor, powerful firepower, and flexible mobility. Coupled with artillery support and infantry coordination, they have a high possibility of breaking through the opponent's defense.  Moreover, because of the characteristics of tanks, the troops can carry out various tactics such as roundabout attacks, encirclement, and interception behind enemy lines after breaking through, making the war evolve from a simple collision to a new situation.

    In the end, Xue Yue said that the problem now is not the weapons, but the training time is too short and the troops have not completed all training.  As long as you wait for a few days, it will not be difficult for a tank company and an infantry battalion to tear each other apart, let alone a regiment in front of you, or even a brigade.

    "Haha, that's not a bad tone. How dare you challenge a brigade with a few broken tanks and an infantry battalion?" Lu Jianzhang asked in a calm tone, his beard slightly raised.

    Xue Yue hesitated for a moment, then quickly replied: "Yes, Commander!"

    "Are you really sure?" Lu Jianzhang asked with interest.

    Xue Yue straightened his chest and said, "Yes! But Commander, the premise is that the troops must meet the training requirements, otherwise I won't be able to do it."

    "Okay!" Lu Jianzhang raised the riding whip in his hand, turned around and pointed towards the still messy training ground: "In this way, I will give you half a month to train your men. After half a month, you won't need a brigade. You just need to  If you can use this small force to confront the two regiments and win, I will reward you heavily! If not, haha, I won¡¯t punish you too much, just let me work as a groom in the company!"

    "Yes! Commander!" Xue Yue immediately stood at attention and saluted without thinking, and agreed immediately.

    ¡°Then, Lu Jianzhang, who was laughing loudly, turned and left, and several senior officers quickly followed him. In a blink of an eye, only a few people were left on the hill that was bustling just now.

    "I'm talking about you Boling, youheywhat can I do for you! Is this Uncle Lu easy to mess with? What will you do if I really can't do it?" Jia Zongrang deliberately hung at the end, waiting for Lu Jianzhang to leave  Yuan Lao grabbed Xue Yue and pulled him aside, with an expression of hatred for iron.

    "Haha, Brother Yu Qian's concern for Xue will be kept in mind, but please rest assured, brother, since I have accepted the question from the commander, I will definitely be able to complete it!" Xue Yue replied with a smile without seeming to be nervous at all.

    "Youheyyou, you" Jia Zongrang looked at Xue YueWith this look, he was so angry that he stamped his feet and left.  (To be continued)
