Wang Xiaoliang said with a smile: "It's a little interesting, it's just that you don't care about the big army, what are you fooling around with me?" You should return to the middle of the unit, so that it is convenient for the front and rear coordination and command, and I, as a brother, can rest assured. ”

"I'm really sorry, Brother Lao is worried about me, I'm a little thick-skinned, the more people don't want to see me, the more I chase other people's butts to death, see what else you kid has to say."

Lei Jian said and urged the horse to leave Wang Xiaoliang, rode on the war horse, and walked at the front of the team.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the soldiers of the troops who were marching in a hurry, one foot deep and one shallow, one followed closely one and no one was left behind, and some of them slipped and fell, and the soldiers around him quickly pulled him up and followed the team.

The troops marched for nearly two hours, the sky slowly turned a little gray, the dark clouds at the top were slowly being dispersed, and the morning light that was about to come out began to brighten up little by little, and the sky of the earth was gray.

The soldiers on the march saw the mountains in the east, the morning light released from the darkness, and it looked even more desirable in the rain.

When the day dawned, the rain was still falling, and it was getting heavier and heavier, and the low-lying places were full of water on the potholed marching road, and a warrior who followed one after another stepped on the muddy water from time to time, and the mud splashed on the trouser legs of the warriors who were left and right in front and behind.

At this time, although the soldiers were wearing raincoats and rain hats, they had been drenched in the rain for more than two hours, and not only their lower bodies were protected by muddy water, but even the faces of each soldier were covered with muddy water.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment had never participated in a rapid march in the rain, and they had traveled long distances with heavy loads, and at first they were relaxed, and at this time, with every step, they felt that their legs sank so much that they did not want to take the next step.

Lei Jian rode on his war horse, leading a company of cavalry to walk in front of the large army, he slowed down the march of the war horse in the night, waiting for the infantry behind to catch up, and when it was dawn, he found that the large army behind did not follow, and he did not know how far he fell.

He ordered Sun Shaofeng, the commander of the first company and one platoon of the cavalry battalion: "You lead a cavalry platoon, as a sharp knife for the large army, to search and advance in front. ”

Lei Jian ordered Wang Xiaoliang again: "You lead two platoons of cavalry in a company, keep a distance of about one mile from the sharp knife platoon, pay attention to the sudden battle situation around you at any time, once you find the enemy, don't be alarmed if you can dodge it, our purpose of marching on this road is that if the enemy does not take the initiative to attack me, I will take a detour." ”

He stood on the side of the road with a few followers around him, waiting for the large army behind to follow.

Half an hour later, Lei Jian saw a troop coming from the southeast, this was his independent regiment.

He saw the large army approaching, staggering and slow, and saw the heads moving, but waited a long time to catch up.

Lei Jian and the others followed the movement of the large army, and Luo Jinchuan, who was the commander-in-chief of this march, followed, and he jumped off his horse and beckoned to Luo Jinchuan.

Luo Jinchuan ran to Lei Jian, and the first sentence he said: "Commander Lei, the soldiers of the army have walked for three or four hours in the rainy night, and now they are so tired that they can't even move their legs, do you order the troops to suspend and rest?" ”

"Political Commissar Luo, our independent regiment is the first day of marching, according to the operating procedures of the troops' long-distance attack, but also to exercise the will and speed of action of the soldiers, the first day is very critical, if there is psychological pressure on the first day, then in the later march, there will be fear of difficulties, and there will be a difficult situation."

"Then you mean to force the warrior to keep going? Isn't it too ruthless? ”

"Political Commissar Luo, you can't say that, you usually sweat a lot and hone more, especially in the uninterrupted march, the will is very important, as long as you defeat yourself, you can be full of energy, I suggest that a small propaganda team be organized to do propaganda and agitation work in the team, which will play a role in boosting morale."

Political Commissar Luo immediately organized a propaganda team on a short and capable march in the independent regiment, and among these male and female soldiers there was Chun Tao, and Chun Tao was also the captain of the propaganda team.

Chun Tao knocked on the sterilized stainless steel tray of the captured devil, and shouted while knocking: "Comrades-in-arms, work hard, the front is the camp, when you arrive at the camp, wash your feet and lie in the quilt, just like lying on your own kang, work hard, hurry up, who is the hero and who is glorious." ”

Some propagandists are even more full of tricks, amusing the tired soldiers on the march, bursting out laughing from time to time, relieving the fear of difficulties on the way, and feeling much more relaxed when walking.

Lei Jian saw that the soldiers were brave again, and they quickened their pace and began to march rapidly, all of them were not willing to lag behind, and they all wanted to be heroes on the march.

Luo Jinchuan looked at Lei Jian and said with a smile: "You stinky boy just has a lot of ideas, it seems that the ideological work of being a person has to keep up with it all the time, I really convince you." ”

How can Lei Jian have so many fancy ideas, it's not that before the crossing, he has watched a lot of movies, television and materials, and sometimes he will have movies and television pictures of the fatigue of the troops in his mind, and he will be clever and follow everyone to learn.

He said to Luo Jinchuan: "Political commissar, it's not that I'm the idea, it's yes, it's ......, anyway, I learned it from others, and I used it easily." ”

At the instigation of the propaganda team, the troops marched rapidly for more than an hour, and the soldiers' physical strength was overdrawn.

Lei Jian saw that the soldiers had achieved the effect he wanted in the first day's long-distance march, he wanted to continue to hone the will of the soldiers, called the propaganda team leader Changchun Tao to his side, whispered a few words, Chun Tao returned to the team happily, knocked on the disinfection tray and encouraged: "Comrades-in-arms, the rain stopped in front and the sun came out, the regiment commander ordered to go quickly, and when you get to the front, you will trim up, and you will work hard to catch up with the sun, okay——。 ”

When the soldiers heard that the rain had stopped in front and the sun had come out, and the regiment commander had ordered them to rest when they arrived at the front, they gave their best one by one, their pace quickened, the speed of march kept up, and the soldiers of the whole unit had a head again.

Luo Jinchuan accompanied Lei Jian and asked as he walked, "Captain Lei, how do you know that the rain has stopped and the sun has come out?" ”

Lei Jian said with a strange low laugh: "One mile is a day, I don't believe that this rain will be so large, the impact will be so wide, and how long it can last, hehe, I took a look at the western sky, the dark clouds in front are thin, it should be a sunny day, there will be no rain on a sunny day, there will be no sun on a sunny day, this is also a small trick for me to encourage the soldiers." ”

"Hahaha, you, you, you stinky boy, I didn't expect to look at the sky and clear clouds, I really defeated you, didn't you count when and where my old Luo died on the battlefield? I've got a good idea of what to do, hahaha. ”

Under the repeated encouragement of the propaganda team, the soldiers' minds turned around and there would be a sunny day ahead, which made the soldiers want to get away from this heavy rain and muddy ghost place under their feet, and find a place to dry early, at least to sit on the ground and doze off and rest their feet.

Lei Jian rode away from the army, since he made a wish to the tired marching soldiers, saying that the regiment commander ordered, speed up the pace and hurry up, the front is a sunny day, once the sun is not seen in the rapid march of one hundred and eighty miles, the soldiers in the back of the march, no matter how infectious the agitation, will not cheer up.

He whipped his horse, and the horse galloped forward quickly, and its hooves bounced up and fell into the muddy water, and the muddy water splashed everywhere, and when it looked behind, it looked like muddy water was falling in front of it, and a curtain of rain like a yellow cloth was rising.

Lei Jian walked forward more than a mile and caught up with Wang Xiaoliang's cavalry company, Wang Xiaoliang asked in surprise: "Commander Lei, you rushed up from behind in such a hurry, what happened?" ”

"Nothing happened, but I'm in a hurry?"

"Nothing happened, what's the urgency of you? Tell me what are you anxious about? Wang Xiaoliang urged.

Lei Jian pinched the reins of the horse, the war horse slowed down, and Wang Xiaoliang's war horse walked side by side, he looked at the west sky and said: "I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I make a wish to the soldiers, and give the order to march quickly, there is no rain in front of you and it's a sunny day, as long as you get to a sunny place, you can stop advancing and have a good rest." But who knows, the clouds in front of me are getting thicker and thicker, if God keeps going like this, then isn't I, the regiment commander, deceiving the soldiers, do you think I'm in a hurry? ”

"You're such a liar kid." Wang Xiaoliang frowned and looked at Lei Jian and said.
