Chapter 37 37 [Unity is Strength]

If this world leaves everyone, Yuan Pengfei goes out to study, and the lives of the soldiers of the second battalion will not be affected in any way, they will still live like that.

In addition to hard training and vigilant standing guard, it is to help the fellow villagers in the base area to do farm work, carry water and chop firewood. It is a family of soldiers and civilians, and the common people say that the Eighth Route Army is good.

In addition to these, of course, the most important entertainment in the army is indispensable-singing military songs.

In fact, this can be regarded as a tradition in the army. As early as when Yuan Shikai established the Beiyang Army, it was a little difficult to learn infantry drills because the soldiers at the grassroots level were illiterate.

So there was a song "March Song",
The marching song teaches marching, and all soldiers must memorize it clearly.Now the guns are very powerful, and the team can only be dispersed.

If you are too close to the team, you must be careful, snaking and lying on the ground.The ground is only a few inches high, and although there are many guns, it is easy to avoid.

It is also necessary to dig a ditch to hide yourself, and to hide yourself and beat people securely.The ups and downs must be fast, making it difficult for thieves to aim their guns... (full head)

This song can not only infect soldiers and boost morale; it also contains the key points of combat, integrating infantry drills into it, enabling soldiers to learn and be familiar with modern combat norms while singing, and improving the overall combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army.

As a dictatorial figure who grasps both the military and the government, both hands must be tough.In order to train the six Beiyang towns under his command into a new-style army, which is different from the old-style army, Yuan Shikai composed another "Song of Encouraging Soldiers".

Be filial for your son and loyal for your minister.The imperial court borrowed national debts at a profit, and did not hesitate to pay heavily to support soldiers.A soldier eats and wears a hundred and ten taels, and the salary of a sixth-rank official is generally the same.If you don't contribute to the country, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will not be tolerated......

If you always remember these words, you will definitely be promoted to the leader; if you don't care about it at all, you will not be merciless in beating lightly and killing severely.A song that persuades you to take care of yourself must be written down clearly.

Threats and lures, catchy, can the soldiers be difficult to manage after listening to it!Do you dare to fight desperately!
Of course, as the leader of the old warlords, how could Yuan Shikai be so superficial and let his soldiers be loyal to the court!

The first sentence the Beiyang soldiers said before the drill was: Eat Marshal Yuan's food, wear Marshal Yuan's clothes, receive Marshal Yuan's salary, and swear to be loyal to Marshal Yuan to the death.

The imperial envoys sent by the Qing government were frightened enough, and only then did Cixi force Yuan Shikai to return to his hometown to recuperate from his illness.

I won’t go into details later, everyone knows that with the allegiance of the six towns of Beiyang and the most powerful gun in the country, Yuan Shikai’s false republic was really dictatorial, and he even made a farce of restoration, and was nailed to the pillar of shame .

However, the power of military songs can be seen. Later armies all created their own military songs, school songs, and party songs.

For example, the school song of the Whampoa Military Academy: Rage is surging, party flags are flying, this is the revolutionary Whampoa, doctrine must be thorough, discipline must not be relaxed, ready to be the vanguard of struggle...

Sing this school song, put on an officer's uniform with bright clothes and angry horses, and go to some local military units to say that you are a student of Whampoa Military Academy. You might be able to get away with it and get a good salary.

Enough talking about other armies, let me finally talk about the military songs of the Eighth Route Army.

The familiar "Three Disciplines, Eight Points of Attention" is the first song all soldiers learn.

This song tells the soldiers to pay attention to safeguarding the interests of the broad masses of the people, making the people believe in the Eighth Route Army and creating people and advantages that other armies cannot match.

"March of the Volunteers" inspired the patriotic spirit of the Chinese people. Inspired by this, countless young people devoted themselves to the great cause of anti-Japanese war, and later became the national anthem.

"Big Sword March", also known as "Big Sword Cuts Off the Devils' Heads!" ” is a song praising the 29th Army’s Broadsword Team. The soldiers of the Independent Regiment’s Broadsword Team like this song the most.

It's a pity that no one gave them a soundtrack on the battlefield, otherwise they could sing this song while chopping off the devil's head with a big knife.

"Song of the Guerrillas" is the favorite of the militia guerrillas. Walking on the narrow dirt road in Gaogang Mountain, the whispers of individual soldiers can quickly become a chorus.

We are all sharpshooters, every bullet kills an enemy, we are all flying troops, even if the mountains are high and the water is deep...

Because of the large number of guerrillas and their penetration into the masses, this song is the most widely sung, and it is also the most familiar to people.

But from now on, the Eighth Route Army will add a new military song "Unity is Strength".

Just at noon, Zhang Weiming, the propaganda officer of the brigade, rushed to the independent regiment, and told Commissar Zhao the good news with a happy face.

"What, Yuan Pengfei can also write songs?"

Li Yunlong didn't believe the news, and asked with a look of surprise.

"Captain Li, don't you trust your soldiers?" Zhang Weiming said with a serious face.

He has become a loyal supporter of this song and a diehard fan of Yuan Pengfei.It's okay to say something else, but this kind of questioning is absolutely not allowed by him.

To be able to completely forget Li Yunlong's illustrious reputation, and dare to blow his beard and stare, one can imagine how loyal he is.

When Zhao Gang saw that Li Yunlong was about to get angry, he hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Director Zhang, don't mind. We, Mr. Li, are also impatient. Can you tell us the whole story?"

Following Zhang Weiming's radiant introduction, Li Yunlong and Zhao just now knew how much Yuan Pengfei had contributed this time.

The teacher personally received and rewarded him, and the political commissar asked him if he would like to stay. A song with 68 characters, word for word, was spread in all directions through the radio, and spread all over the motherland. Yuan Pengfei became famous with one song.

Of course, Yuan Pengfei, who was far away at the division headquarters, was also distressed.Wen Chaogong was not his original intention, but he has no place to play this song!I can only be ashamed.

As for the big man like the founding marshal, he met four or five in the past few days.The political commissar of the division personally asked him for his opinion, and if he wanted, he could be kept in the division headquarters.

If he is a time traveler and wants to get a good position, obviously staying in the division headquarters is more promising.Being close to the water is the first thing to do, dangling in front of the bosses every day, the promotion speed cannot be slowed down at all.

When he wins, maybe he can be a lieutenant general on Li Yunlong's head.At worst, he can be a major general.But, these can only be imagined in a dream.

No way, he still has two tasks on his back!Li Yunlong still needed his Italian artillery to attack Ping'an County, so he could only decline the olive branch offered by the boss with a look of regret.

Afterwards, don't mention how much hatred he felt in his heart!

He can only comfort himself, it's not bad to hang out with Li Yunlong, it's more meaningful to direct the second battalion to beat up the little devils and avenge the masses of the people.

Of course, Director Zhang didn’t just come here to deliver a piece of news. As a publicity officer, his other task was to teach this song to the soldiers so that they could also learn to sing this song and appreciate it. meaning of the song.

Ever since, it didn't work for a few days, but wherever there were soldiers from the independent regiment, there was the sound of this song.

Unity is strength Unity is strength

This power is iron, this power is steel

Harder than iron, stronger than steel...
