Rise From Eight Hundred

What the second lieutenant of the Yunnan Army took out from his bosom was a Japanese melon grenade.

Even though Cai Yongguan was brave, he couldn't help sweating profusely at this moment.

How could a sports meet cost him his life?

The cheers and shouts outside the stadium gradually became quiet.

Whether or not people had paid attention to this opponent, they all turned their attention to it.

Several division commanders sitting on the stage looked through the telescope at the hand of the second lieutenant of the 12th Army. It was definitely a standard melon grenade. Deputy Division Commander Cun was still smiling because his subordinates performed well, but now his smile was completely frozen on his face.

Obviously, he, as a superior, was absolutely unaware of the grenade hidden in Luo Wanjian's waist.

The deputy battalion commander of the 12th Division Guard Battalion was even paler. If Luo Wanjian, this bastard, caused any trouble, he, as a direct superior, would not be able to escape.

"Damn it, this guy has lived enough!" Li Jiujin usually has a good relationship with Cai Yongguan, and he was anxious on the spot, looking at Tang Dao.

The Sihang Regiment's vigilance for this sports meeting was loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Not only was there a fully armed infantry company on guard, but there were also 16 reconnaissance company sharpshooters deployed on the surrounding hills. With the help of the 4x scope purchased from Krupp, the range reached nearly 500 meters.

Except for the rostrum, which was not within their attack range, strictly speaking, the rest of the training ground was within their range. As long as Tang Dao, the chief officer, gave the order, accurate bullets could eliminate sudden dangers.

Including the second lieutenant of the Yunnan Army who suddenly took out a grenade in the field.

Tang Dao shook his head calmly and whispered: "Just wait and see, we should have more trust in friendly forces."

"Brother, this is not a battlefield, relax, don't take it away." Cai Yongguan tried his best to comfort the guy in front of him who might be a little unconscious.

"Captain Cai, I just want to ask you, if it's on the battlefield, your bayonet pierces my lungs, I lock your gun with one hand, can I still use this with the other hand?" Luo Wanjian asked with some difficulty.

The wooden spear stabbed his chest hard, even with armor, Luo Wanjian still felt that he almost couldn't breathe.

"Before a person dies, there will be two states, one is because of fear and the body's vitality is cut off, the feces and urine burst out into a pool of rotten meat, and the other is because of the terrible will to survive, bursting out with power that cannot be shown at ordinary times, even if it is only for a short moment." Cai Yongguan thought about it and replied seriously to this extremely persistent Yunnan Army second lieutenant.

"Based on your performance on the field just now, it is very likely to belong to the latter. I dare not guarantee that I can draw the rifle within one second."

"Then"

"Yes, if on the battlefield, if caught off guard, the probability of my injury is higher than 90%, but it is not so easy to kill me with this alone." Cai Yongguan said again confidently and seriously.

"Haha! That's all, thank you, Chief Cai, I'll buy you a drink!" Luo Wanjian smiled, and with one hand, he pulled the safety pin of the grenade open.

Cai Yongguan, such a brave man, also felt his hair stand on end at that moment, but his strong psychological quality still made him stand still and took the grenade handed over by Luo Wanjian.

That was a small wine pot transformed from a grenade!

"I have to drink some wine to calm down, brother, you made this wine pot very well, but don't do it next time." Cai Yongguan shook his head, raised his head and drank all the wine in the melon grenade wine pot in one gulp.

He reached out and hugged Luo Wanjian, who was smaller than him, and slapped Luo Wanjian's back hard, shouting to the audience: "Just for today's draw and this scary pot of wine, I, Cai Yongguan, recognize this brother!"

Luo Wanjian

Brother, you already called me brother, so can you pat me a little more gently? I'm already out of breath.

"Haha! It's rare to see the company commander so scared. Today's sports meeting is worth it." The officers and soldiers of the fifth company laughed collectively.

Of course, there were more cheers.

That came from the guard battalion of the 12th Division. In this round of bayonet competition, the luxurious group sent by the Four-line Regiment had an overwhelming advantage.

Even the extremely strong guard squad leader of the 921st Division fought hard for a long time, but in the end he was slightly inferior to the deputy commander of the Four-line Regiment.

Only their brothers in the 12th Division, although they were defeated repeatedly, they fought again and again, and finally relied on a small wine pot they carried with them to force the company commander Cai, who was no less powerful than Deputy Commander Lei, to admit a tie.

Although there was some suspicion of cheating, if it really came to the battlefield, no one would not believe that Luo Wanjian would not take out a real grenade to die together.

Because Luo Wanjian had proved in the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain that he had the determination and courage.

"Lao Luo, great job! On behalf of the Mountain Infantry Company of the Four-line Regiment, I support you to be the first." Long Yan also cheered crazily for the comrade who had fought side by side with him.

"Fuck! I'm afraid your kid will be beaten, shut up." Shen Laoliu quickly reached out to cover the mouth of his troublesome brother-in-law.

How can a little lieutenant like you represent the Mountain Infantry Company?

I heard that once the Military and Political Department gave the Four-line Regiment Special Forces Regiment the organization, not only will the Mountain Infantry Company directly under the Regiment be upgraded to the deputy battalion level, but the reconnaissance company, medical company, communication company, and engineering company will also be upgraded to the deputy battalion level.

That means that many army captains will be promoted to army majors. Others don't know, but Shen Laoliu knows that the new mountain infantry company commander Gu Xishui will be promoted for sure.

As for Long Yan, a little army lieutenant, at most he is a small platoon leader, how can he speak on behalf of the mountain infantry company.

"Does it mean that there are too few? Then add the reconnaissance company?" Long Yan asked his brother-in-law in a daze.

"I" Shen Laoliu instantly felt that his low blood pressure was almost cured by this guy.

"Haha! Brother Laoliu, you don't need to be so cautious. Long Yan is right. All the mountain infantry companies, cheer for the 12th brother to cheer!" Gu Xishui laughed rarely and waved his hand to let the mountain infantry company square cheer for Luo Wanjian.

Not for anything else, just for this spirit of daring to fight and not admit defeat.

The best quality that Chinese soldiers should have.

The cheers of the tsunami lasted for a minute or two, and the big guys on the stage finally gave the result.

Luo Wanjian, who used a "little trick", and the monk who fought to the end tied for first place. One relied on the willpower of not admitting defeat, and the other had super combat power. They were the two most beautiful guys in the entire stabbing competition!

With the first place tied, there will naturally be the second and third place tied. The 17th Division and the 104th Division's elite soldier who died in exchange for injury tied for the second place, and the 28th Division and the 101st Division tied for the third place.

The four division commanders, a deputy division commander and a brigade commander collectively expressed that they were very satisfied with the result, which fully reflected the combat effectiveness and fighting spirit of each division.

Tang Dao

Liu, the always upright and rigorous commander with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually led astray by Brigade Commander Cheng. The so-called tie was first proposed by him.

The big guys were of course very happy. Anyway, the extra submachine guns were not provided by them in this tie, but by Tang Dao.

Of course, in the thunderous laughter and cheers, whether it was the big guys or ordinary officers and soldiers, their understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Four-Line Regiment was once again raised to a higher level.

There is a Chinese saying that "the general is the courage of the soldiers", and Napoleon also has a famous saying that "a group of sheep led by a lion can defeat a group of lions led by a sheep". The senior officers of the Four-Line Regiment have such strong individual combat effectiveness, which means that the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment on the battlefield can burst out 120% of their combat effectiveness on weekdays.

No wonder the Japanese army, whether it is the "Steel Army" or any other army, can only be defeated when encountering the Four-Line Regiment as long as the disparity in strength is not too great. That is because the Four-Line Regiment already has enough foundation.

The foundation of the Four-Line Regiment is this group of veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. With them as the skeleton, no matter how many soldiers are lost, as long as they are replenished in time, it will not take long for them to become a tiger that can roam the battlefields of North China.

"Brother Tang, I have an immature suggestion for the next military obstacle group competition." Brigade Commander Cheng said to Tang Dao with a smile.

"Since it's immature, then Brother Cheng, think about it again. You can talk about it when we drink and eat meat tonight." Tang Dao, who had just lost several MP38 submachine guns in vain, rolled his eyes and directly blocked the mouth of Brigade Commander Cheng, who definitely had no good intentions.

"Then let Brother Kong speak. I wanted to throw out a brick to attract jade, but some people only want jade!" Brigade Commander Cheng seemed to have expected Tang Dao's attitude. While sighing to the sky, he pushed Brigade Commander Kong, who was planning to play a supporting role, out.

Brigade Commander Kong

Tang Dao

How can you play like this? The brigade commander and the regiment commander just stared at each other and laughed.

"Ahem! It's like this. We have seen all the obstacles in the military obstacle race. Many of these things are available on the training grounds of various divisions and brigades, but there are still some like the step-by-step horizontal beam jump that you, Tang Tuanzuo, have made. Let alone ordinary officers and soldiers, even we have never seen it." Brigade Commander Kong is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He coughed twice and began to lay the groundwork.

"So"

"So, we feel that it is not fair to our brothers in the Sixth Division to compare with the brothers in the Four Lines Regiment who train these every day."

"You are not going to kick our Four Lines Regiment out of the circle of friends again!" Tang Tuanzuo curled his lips.

"No, no, my brother Cheng and I agree that our Sixth Division will still play according to the list of selected personnel for the 20-man team, but for the Four Lines Regiment, we should draw from each department of the Four Lines Regiment, and whoever is drawn will be the one, so that the two will cancel each other out and it will be fair."

"Two commanders, you are really shrewd! How can you find loopholes so well! When you draw, do you specifically look for my regiment's baggage, communication and other departments? Do you want to directly draw people from my medical company?" Tang Dao gave Cheng Kong and the others a thumbs up.

"I'm not a shrewd man, but I've been in the underworld for so long, so I have some brains. People in the underworld say I have brains, so I'm flattered. Also, please rest assured, we will never ask your newlywed wife to go on this trip. After all, she will be tired in the evening, right? I mean we have to entertain guests." Brigadier General Cheng smiled brightly, and even imitated the outlaws to clasp his hands and bow.

"I don't want to entertain guests. Tonight, we will still have a buffet. Some people will eat a few pieces of meat and drink a few sips of wine and go to see the stars and the moon by themselves." Tang Dao replied unhappily.

"Haha, why should you be polite, brother Tang? Just have some wine and meat. I decided to sleep with Brother Kong, who I hit it off with, tonight." Brigadier General Cheng laughed.

No wonder Brigadier General Cheng is so popular with both sides. This cheerful personality is really hard to dislike, even if you know who he is calculating.

Perhaps, it's because his calculations are always open and aboveboard!

Of course, more importantly, not everyone is worth his calculations.

"Dayu, let the special forces battalion get the roster, and forget about the other departments. I see that a certain commander is old, and I'm afraid his eyes are blurry and he can't see clearly." Tang Dao called Xia Dayu.

"Special Forces Battalion! There are so many people! Then I have to wipe my glasses first, don't let the sisters from the medical company be drawn later." Brigade Commander Cheng was "scared" by Tang Dao and hurriedly wiped his glasses.

Several division commanders couldn't help laughing when they saw the two bickering.

"Brigade Commander Cheng of your division is really good at making friends! Even Brigade Commander Kong of my division, who has only known him for a few days, praised him highly. No wonder he is obsessed with his student and promised him the rank of lieutenant general two years ago." The white-haired general said to Division Commander Liu with a smile.

"This guy is just a monkey. He is the most jumpy on the battlefield. Even the director of the political department who taught him has a headache. Every time he finishes reporting his work, he must leave first." Division Commander Liu knows his beloved general very well and answered with a smile.

"Why?"

"If you don't leave, you have to pay for a meal. Yes, he can drink quite well."

"Haha! Of course you have to leave. Can you have wine but not meat? This meal will be a big deal."

While the two were chatting and laughing, the two brigade commanders over there had already selected good people from the roster.

The two of them looked like superiors, and they didn't choose a soldier from the reconnaissance company.

But they were smart after all!

Brigade Commander Hu of the 28th Division also came over happily to help choose two, and then he saw that a colleague of the same level had a green face.

"What's wrong?" Brigade Commander Hu was a little confused.

He simply thought the names 'Hammer' and 'Good Boy' were a little funny, so he chose them. Could it be that being funny is also wrong?

"Commander Hu, let me explain, Hammer is a dog! Good Boy is a wild boar!" Tang Dao held back his laughter.

"Fuck, it can't be! It's clearly written here, Hammer, corporal; Guaiguai, private!" Brigade Commander Hu, who had never seen Hammer and Guaiguai, was confused.

This was the first time he had heard of giving military ranks to dogs and wild boars in his 20-year military career.

"Old Hu! Tang Dao has done a lot of fancy things! You don't know, the day before you came, Hammer and Guaiguai went on stage to receive military merits!" Brigade Commander Cheng sighed.

"This" Brigade Commander Hu was so shocked that he bared his teeth.

Looking at the slightly melancholy eyes of Brigadier Commanders Cheng and Kong, Brigade Commander Hu, who had been shocked for a hundred years, finally felt that something was wrong, but he still held a glimmer of luck. "Dogs are good at running obstacles, but pigs can't! Can those pig trotters get over the obstacles?"

"Hey! Old Hu! Even if the pigs can't get over the obstacles, the generals you, Old Hu, will come out with their competition vests. Even if they run around the obstacles, who can deduct points for them?" Brigade Commander Kong also looked helpless.

Brigade Commander Hu's unintentional move definitely caused a big trouble for the other six participating teams. Not only do the four-legged ones have an advantage over the two-legged ones, but if these two come out, the Four-Line Regiment will win in terms of momentum.

What a rare opportunity to suppress the prestige of the Four-Line Regiment! Comrade Old Hu just messed it up.

On the training ground, the officers and soldiers of the First Battalion of the Four-Line Regiment had moved the equipment that had been moved to the sidelines to reorganize.

Because 20 people form a team to participate in the competition, in order to save time, the entire obstacle course is only half the length of the Four-line Regiment's usual training, with a total length of 200 meters. After removing the rope climbing and high and low balance bars, there are a total of seven obstacles: crossing wooden hurdles, low pile nets, climbing high hurdles, balance beams, hole high and low bars, two-meter trenches, and three low walls.

On average, there is an obstacle every 20 meters, which places extremely high demands on the physical flexibility and cardiopulmonary function of the participating soldiers.

Some participating officers and soldiers can't wait to train on the obstacles they have seen for the first time.

In order to let the military and civilians on the scene see the style of each division, there is no need to use any sub-venues. All teams compete in this field, but they compete in the order of drawing lots, and the total time of the 20 people is finally determined.

However, as the host, the Four-line Regiment was "bullied" again. The six divisions were drawn by lot, and the Four-line Regiment was artificially placed at the end.

"Once Hammer and Guaiguai come out, who will look at us? You must be the last one." Brigade Commander Cheng's shameless explanation seems to be correct.

When the venue was being arranged, the Four-Line Regiment, as the host, also held a big lottery.

No matter who enters the venue, they will receive a white paper with a number written on it from the Propaganda Department of the Political Department of the Four-Line Regiment.

Many people didn't know what it was used for at first, but simply thought it was to count the number of people. Only now did they know that there would be a New Year's lottery.

There are two types of awards. One is a pure lottery. There are eight people, including four division commanders, Deputy Division Commander Cun, and three brigade commanders Hu, Kong, and Cheng. Each person will grab a handful of numbers from more than 18,000.

As many as there are, all the numbers drawn will be rewarded with a can of Japanese beef canned food, a pack of cigarettes, a pack of milk candy, or daily necessities such as toothpaste and soap, depending on the lottery drawer.

For example, the one represented by Brigade Commander Cheng was a bag of straw paper, which was a prize provided by a paper mill in Dakouzidong Town. This kind of paper is soft and comfortable, and it is very comfortable to use for toilet. It has long been a must-have for nearly 10,000 soldiers in the Four-Line Regiment.

To be honest, there are still many people waiting to be drawn by Brigade Commander Cheng. That bag of paper is worth half a dollar, which is very expensive.

"You kid is here to take revenge on me. I will remember this grudge." Brigade Commander Cheng "threatened" Tang Dao with a smile.

"This is the legendary conspiracy!" Tang Dao also smiled brightly.

The other kind requires the people present to write down their predictions of the first-place unit number of the military obstacle race on their own white paper, and then put it into 7 different boxes, and then draw a lottery according to the final results of the competition.

The number of people who draw the lottery is set at 938, and about 20 people can win one. This kind of reward that depends on the eyesight is very powerful. Each person will receive a pure silver medal weighing 39 grams to commemorate the New Year of 1939.

Seeing that there is something to eat, something to see, and something to take away, the atmosphere is simply too warm. Whether it is soldiers or civilians, they all think carefully and fill in their predicted unit numbers.

The votes of the Four-Line Group are in the middle, not the most, nor the least.

After all, other troops are carefully selected, and the Four-Line Group is randomly drawn by several brigade commanders from the Four-Line Group Special Service Battalion.

Even so, it is still mainly auxiliary arms such as the engineering company, the communication company, and the medical company.

The only two who belong to the combat system are Hammer and Guaiguai!

Really good guys! A knife stabbed my buttocks - I've opened my eyes.

If the Four Lines Group could win first place, it would be heaven.

But the Four Lines Group also had many supporters, especially the representatives of the people in Dakouzidong Town, 80% of whom voted for the Four Lines Group.
