Rise From Eight Hundred

Before the participants from various departments officially started the competition, the first wave of lottery had already started.

Liu, the division commander on the rostrum, put his hand into the closed large box containing more than 18,000 card numbers, and the soldiers and civilians in the audience shouted loudly, "Come on, commander!"

That's because the number of people who will be drawn depends on how many silver dollar-sized cards Liu can hold in his hand. If he can grab 50, 50 people will get the Japanese beef can represented by Liu.

It must be said that although the Japanese have sores on their heads and pus on their feet, the taste of this beef can is really good and is deeply loved by Chinese soldiers and civilians.

The opening of the closed large wooden box is actually not small. Facing the enthusiasm of the soldiers and civilians in the audience, Liu, who has a rigorous personality, also thought about it for a while, stretched out his hand and stirred it hard in the large wooden box for a few times. His hand fully felt the size of the regular digital number cards that more than a dozen people in the political department of the Four-line Group spent two or three days to make, and then he started.

However, Liu took a trick and did not grab them, but held them.

In simple terms, the whole palm or even the wrist is used as a container to scoop out the cardboard number plates. This time, the number exceeded the expected 20% by more.

There were 63 plates in total, and the audience cheered.

Chen Tianle, a corporal from the Propaganda Section of the Political Department of the Four-line Regiment, who was the host on the stage, took the number plates and read out the numbers clearly and quickly.

Although Chen Tianle, who has been in the Four-line Regiment for more than three months, still has a delicate and innocent look on her face, her upright posture on the stage and her bright and firm eyes are completely different from the girl who once opened the door and asked her brother and comrades, "Where is my brother?"

The death of her brother in battle and the melting pot of the Four-line Regiment have transformed this girl from body to mind into a real Chinese soldier.

What supported her to persist in the two-month recruit training may not only be the hatred of the country and family, but she wanted to follow the path her brother had taken and go on!

Until one day, when she was facing death, her brother could come to pick her up, just like when he held her hand to buy candied haws at the entrance of the alley when she was a child.

Those whose numbers were called out went to the prize collection office of the Quartermaster Department of the Four-line Regiment, which was set up at the four corners of the training ground, to receive their prizes according to the numbers issued when entering the field.

The second person to draw the lottery was the white-haired general, who represented cigarettes. With the example of Commander Liu, the white-haired general went even further and directly found a big bowl and scooped out a full bowl.

The soldiers and civilians in the audience laughed and called Commander Zhao mighty, but the Quartermaster Department Director of the Four-line Regiment, Zhuang Shisan, was sweating profusely.

Fortunately, Tang Dao had foresight and knew that these big guys would never play by the rules, so he made the opening on the top of the wooden box a little smaller, otherwise, the big guys who followed suit might use their helmets to scoop next time.

This time, a full 103 were made, and 40 more prizes were awarded.

However, it is almost impossible for the soldiers who received the cigarettes to keep the reward for themselves. For example, Long Yan, who seemed to be a lucky guy, just received the cigarettes happily, and then saw dozens of pairs of eyes looking at him eagerly.

What is a comrade-in-arms? It is the person who can completely trust his back on the battlefield. Compared with this kind of emotion, cigarettes are nothing?

A pack of cigarettes has 20 cigarettes. Even if they are all broken into two pieces and given out, it is obviously not enough. Then you can only add your original ones and

your brother-in-law's!

My sister has married you, and you dare not give up a pack of cigarettes?

Shen Laoliu really spit out a mouthful of blood eight feet away. If he had known that his brother-in-law was so pit, he would have sat farther away!

But obviously, Shen Laoliu, who is already married, can no longer do whatever he wants like before. Lieutenant Long is a pit, and he is destined to step on it for the rest of his life.

In half an hour, the field has drawn three rounds of lotteries, and more than 250 people have won small prizes. Only to hear Corporal Chen Tianle on the stage announced that the military obstacle relay race officially began.

The first to appear was the 921st Division. The good guys selected from the guard battalion did not disappoint the leaders' expectations. They solved the battle in 23 minutes and 30 seconds, setting an example for the other six teams.

It is easy to run 200 meters. The fast runners can finish it in 20 seconds, but there are seven obstacles in the 200-meter distance. The soldiers have to carry their guns, 50 rounds of bullets and 4 grenades. It is an extremely difficult task to finish the run in about one minute.

Especially the 2-meter trench. If an ordinary person jumps in, it will take a long time to climb out, not to mention that they have to carry 10 kilograms of equipment. The low-pile net that imitates the barbed wire is also easy to climb out, but it is extremely difficult to quickly pass this nearly 20-meter section that is less than 40 centimeters high.

This is for entertainment. The Fourth Regiment has reduced the difficulty. Normally, this 20-meter section is covered with real barbed wire with iron spikes. If you are not careful, the sturdy training uniform will be torn at best, and the back and buttocks will be cut and bleeding.

But this is only the difficulty of the training for recruits. When the front-line troops such as infantry battalions, reconnaissance companies, and guard companies are doing this kind of training, the height of the barbed wire is only 35 centimeters, and there are even heavy machine gun bullets shooting from above.

On the battlefield, the enemy will not stop shooting because of pity for your injury or slow speed. Every second faster, there is a little more chance of survival.

The 921st Division naturally has similar training, but the difficulty is not so great. However, this time, the boys of the 921st Division burst out with amazing energy. In the two extremely difficult projects of 20-meter low-pile net and crossing deep trenches, they completed the entire course with high speed and efficiency, almost perfectly.

Of course, it was not only the 20 elite soldiers on the field who did their best, but also the more than 700 officers and soldiers of the 921st Division singing military songs in unison to encourage their comrades off the field, which was quite touching.

"Look! Thousands of mountains and valleys, copper walls and iron walls

The flames of the anti-Japanese war burned in the Taihang Mountains

The arrogance was ten thousand feet high

Listen! Mothers called their sons to fight the Japanese

The wives sent their husbands to the battlefield

We are in the Taihang Mountains

We are in the Taihang Mountains

The mountains are high and the forests are dense

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong

Wherever the enemy attacks

We will destroy him there!"

At the end of the song, it was not just 700 people singing, but a chorus of more than 10,000 people in the audience.

Taihang Mountains, not the Taihang Mountains of the 921st Division, but the Taihang Mountains of all China.

"Four-line regiment, come one! Four-line regiment, come one!" Wang Xiaoqiang was standing in the area where the officers and soldiers of the 921st Division were sitting, holding a tin trumpet and shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Haha! Come on, who's afraid of who!" Lei Xiong stood in front of the square formation of the first battalion.

"Brothers, we are good at fighting, but can we sing military songs?"

"Yes? We can," the officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

"The sun sets in the west and the clouds fly.

The soldiers return to the camp after shooting.

The red flowers on their chests reflect the colorful clouds.

The joyful songs are flying all over the sky.

"

Tang Tuanzuo pirated a song called "Returning from Target Shooting" 20 years later. The lyrics are simple, bright and catchy, full of extraordinary imagination and romantic feelings in the military camp. It will be a must-sing song during the training period of new recruits in the future.

After the first battalion accepted the challenge, Guo Shouzhi simply took the second battalion to challenge the 17th Division. The various units fought back and forth, fighting hard in the field and competing with their voices outside the field.

Perhaps, the 20 officers and soldiers of the 921st Division who participated in the competition also burst out their potential in this deafening military song, and achieved an explosive result at the beginning.

"When it comes to fancy things, it has to be this kid Tang Dao!" The white-haired general, who personally led his officers and soldiers to sing a Northwest Army song, had a little sweat on his forehead, and sighed with Liu, the division commander sitting next to him.

"I dare say that this is a day that all the soldiers and civilians will never forget in their lives. The competition has been held, the fun has been had, and the spirit of patriotism has also been spread!"

"Hehe! So that person and Yan are trying their best to win him over!" Liu, the division commander smiled slightly.

"This time, the Ministry of Military Affairs appointed Tang Dao as the deputy director of the Ji'nan Administrative Office, and separated him from the 22nd Army Group to be directly under the Second War Zone Command. I'm afraid there is a deep meaning behind it!" The white-haired general meant something.

"No matter what those people think, it's just a matter of fighting back, just like love between men and women. What is yours is yours, and what is not yours cannot be forced. Tang Dao is a person with his own opinions. He will not easily waver in his ideas. Our 80th Army Group also respects all his choices." Liu, the division commander, said softly.

"Okay! I feel relieved with what Commander Liu said." The white-haired general got the answer he wanted.

As soon as the so-called deputy director title came down, the white-haired general knew that the man was playing the so-called political game again, just watching the 80th Army expand the guerrilla battlefield behind enemy lines to the northwest of Shanxi, southern Hebei, and western Hebei, which he could not control.

He hoped that the 80th Army would continue to carry out guerrilla harassment in the Japanese-occupied areas in North China so that they could not devote their full efforts to attacking the Yellow River defense line, but he did not want the 80th Army's strength to continue to expand.

The Tang Dao and the Four-Line Regiment were the nails that the man inserted into the base of the 80th Army's expansion.

No matter how close the Four-Line Regiment and the 80th Army cooperated, they were not members of the 80th Army. Their identity was still a direct unit of the Second War Zone Command. For the 80th Army, they were still outsiders.

Even brothers had to settle accounts! What's more, an outsider would inevitably have disputes when it came to the distribution of interests. That was human nature.

This move was also a naked conspiracy. It depended on how the top leaders of the 80th Army considered it.

Obviously, when Commander Liu said that he respected all the choices of Tang Dao, he represented the opinions of the top leaders of the 80th Army.

For the sake of Tang Dao, a friendly army, they did not hesitate to sacrifice all their interests in southern Hebei, and had already placed Tang Dao and the Four-Line Regiment in an extremely special position.

This made the white-haired general who was very concerned about the future of the Four-Line Regiment feel completely at ease.

Tang Dao and the Four-Line Regiment were very strong, but they only had so many people and chassis after all. He, the commander of the 38th Army, looked good, but the defense areas were hundreds of miles apart, and once something happened, it would be out of reach. However, the 80th Army was different. The 80th Army, which had been gradually breaking up, was now spread across the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei. With their backing, the Four-Line Regiment would be much more confident in fighting against Japan.

While the two were talking, the second 28th Division to play was almost done with the obstacle course, but Brigade Commander Hu's face was a little ugly at this time.

His soldiers were obviously not very adaptable to two or three of the obstacle courses, and several of them fell off the backgammon balance beam, so they had to come again and delayed a lot of time.

In the end, the 28th Division's score was 24 minutes and 28 seconds, more than a minute longer than the 921st Division, which means that on average each person was four seconds slower.

On the battlefield, the casualties of this 200-meter charge would be several percentage points higher than those of the 921st Division.

"Damn it, when I get back, I will definitely train these bastards well." Brigade Commander Hu swore fiercely in his heart.

However, as the 12th and 104th Divisions were finished, Brigade Commander Hu's mood gradually improved.

After the four divisions competed, the 28th Division with mediocre results was not the best. The 104th Division of the 22nd Army ranked last with a time of 24 minutes and 33 seconds.

In this kind of 20-man collective competition, it is almost impossible for any miracle to happen. The 104th Division, whose food treatment is worse than that of other troops, is inherently deficient in physical fitness. It only took a few seconds longer than the 28th Division to complete the entire race. It is already a Sichuanese. The embodiment of tough character.

Therefore, Commander Li of the 104th Division, who fell to the last position, did not feel ashamed. The whole division wished they had been eating sweet potatoes for more than a month. If they can be as good as the B Division of the Central Army, there is nothing more dissatisfied.

The 12th Division was actually not much better, just 10 seconds shorter than the 28th Division, and still far behind the 921st Division.

This is also related to the fact that the 12th Division has been in Zhongtiao Mountain for a long time. There is little flat ground there. It would be good to get some equipment for the soldiers to exercise their strength. There is no obstacle course hundreds of meters high.

With this achievement, Deputy Commander Cun, who was originally beating the drum in his heart, was overjoyed.

After competing with four divisions, the lottery began again, and each square formation began to fight military songs again.

Everyone has also seen that winning or losing is important, but in fact it is not that important. What all ministers and ministers require is to try their best to show the combat effectiveness of their own troops. Strong is strong, and weak is also a fact. Compare with friendly forces to see how capable you are. Know your shame and then have the courage to catch up!

When the 17th Division's northwest men completed the race in 23 minutes and 46 seconds, and the 101st Division in 24 minutes and 22 seconds, the landlords' Four Lines Group finally made their debut.

The three Grand Brigadiers are definitely talents.

Participants in this obstacle relay race included 6 signal corpsmen, 7 engineering corpsmen, 5 medical stretcher bearers, and two scouts.

The reason why I talk about the two scouts is that they are Corporal Hammer and Corporal Guaiguai. One dog and one pig walked with their heads held high, taking the first and second place in the team of 20 contestants.

"Damn it, isn't the brigade commander a little too cruel? It's okay to forget that the Four Elements Group's results are at the bottom later. What if it's two or three minutes behind? Don't you want to lose face, Captain Tang?" Wang Xiaoqiang said with a heartbroken expression. Blame his own brigade commander.

However, the bright smile on his face betrayed this guy's true heart.

It's one of his New Year's wishes to cause a minor embarrassment to Tang Tuanzuo, who is full of bad taste!

"You can laugh if you want! Captain Tang can't see it anyway, so he won't write you down in the notebook." Captain Xu glanced at the proud Wang Xiaoqiang.

"No! From what I know about Commander Tang, he might not be afraid of this at all."

"Aren't you afraid of embarrassment?"

"No, I mean, the result may surprise us!" Captain Xu sighed slightly.

"The training ground for soldiers is the battlefield. You think the brigade commander changed the rules and gave Commander Tang a slap in the face. Maybe Commander Tang has already thought of a countermeasure, or maybe he has enough confidence. ,Maintaining the status quo.

That is the most terrifying thing about the Four Elements Group. "

"The 20 people we sent, who are not the heroes who came out of the Ten Thousand Miles of Great Movement War? Hell-like places like snow mountains and grasslands did not stop them. In terms of mental will and physical fitness, they are all one in a thousand." Wang Xiaoqiang said Do not believe.

"If the Four Lines Regiment defeats them this time with its signal corps and engineering corps, then I will be completely convinced by Tang Dao and call him big brother when we meet in the future."

"That's your personal matter, don't get involved with me." Captain Xu quickly stayed away from the stubborn Wang Xiaoqiang.

He was a little vain at first, but when Commander Wang decided to call him Big Brother, his first place was really in doubt.

Sure enough, Corporal Hammer, the first of the Four Lines Regiment to rush into the obstacle course, gave a severe lesson to all the officers and soldiers present.

With four legs, Zhennima has an innate advantage.

Hammer, who had participated in obstacle course training with the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Line Regiment, had no difficulty running the 200 meters. Not only did he jump over the 5-meter high hurdles, but also the 2-meter high wooden wall. Hammer did not delay even two seconds. past.

The crawling low pile net swings its tail like a propeller-like hammer and moves forward as fast as an arrow.

The whole process takes less than 35 seconds!

Brigadier Hu wanted to cover his face!

Isn't this what he chose?

He could only place his hope on Guaiguai, a big wild boar that weighed more than 200 kilograms. He was sure that Guaiguai would have absolutely nothing to do in places with high heights.

Yes, the biggest shortcoming of the wild boar is its weight, which prevents it from jumping too high.

But the tank's style of play is to move forward without hesitation.

Guaiguai ignored these heights at all and rushed directly from below with four hooves. When he reached the wooden wall, he used all his strength to run into it.

A big hole suddenly appeared in the wooden wall!

"Haha! Well done, dear!"

"Come on, good boy!"

There were cheers and applause from the audience, but no one called out any violation.

if not? You ask a big wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms to jump one meter high and let me watch? Rampage is what a big wild boar should do.

Hammer, who was 5 meters wide and 2 meters deep, used his momentum to jump across the trench without even going down. Guaiguai took a detour here and ran away.

The single pig time is 24 seconds, faster than a hammer! Let everyone know that once a pig opens its legs, its speed is comparable to that of a tiger or a leopard.

Brigadier Cheng also wanted to cover his face! Not afraid of pig-like opponents, but more afraid of god-like teammates!

If it weren't for Brigadier Hu, a god, how could he pick out these two guys with speed runes?

But perhaps, compared to Hammer and Guaiguai, the individual qualities of the Four-line Regiment's communications, engineers, and stretcher bearers are more eye-catching.

Military training is not only in the front-line combat troops in the Four-line Regiment, but also in the auxiliary troops at all levels, but the time is slightly less.

But communications, engineers, and stretcher bearers are precisely the types of soldiers that require strength and endurance, and obstacle training is also one of their regular training subjects.

So, when the Four-line Regiment finished the competition, Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth almost turned into a hippopotamus.

The amazing 23 minutes and 33 seconds is 3 seconds less than the elite 921st Division! Moreover, that is the result after Guaiguai, the guy who violated most of the rules, added one minute.

If it was a little bit less, the commander Wang, who is two years older than Tang Dao, would have to call Tang Dao Big Brother.

If this were replaced by the front-line infantry of the Four-line Regiment, what would the result be?

No one knows, but it seems that they know it in their hearts.
