Luo Jinchuan heard Lei Jian's question, he looked forward, then shook his head and said: "It's only been two or three hours since I walked out, it's really hard to see one or two battalions, and in the end, which one can get out of the first place, haha, you kid may already have a number in your heart, right?" Speak up and listen. ”

Lei Jian shook his head and said nothing, seeing that Luo Jinchuan was a little anxious, he stretched out his hand and put it into Luo Jinchuan's hand, pinched it twice, and said with a weird smile: "If you don't believe it, let's bet, old battalion commander, do you dare?" ”

Luo Jinchuan didn't expect that Lei Jian, a stinky boy, would be the head of the regiment, and he was so naughty, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Captain Lei, you are now the head of the regiment, why are you not honest?" We're leading the troops, not the casino, but since you've made a bet, my Lao Luo has no choice but to take the call, and we'll see you at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, hahaha. ”

The three main battalions of the independent regiment are all more energetic at this time, especially the first battalion, seeing that the three battalions that were burning with fire were suppressed and retreated to their original positions, Zheng Tie happily whispered to Zhang Ting: "Old man, I have now taken the lead in the third battalion and our first battalion, unceremoniously speaking, the third battalion is excluded, and the most headache in my heart is the second battalion commander Cao, this guy usually talks little, really does the right thing, and really holds back a momentum that people dare not underestimate, what do you say, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang?" ”

"Battalion Commander Zheng, as long as we don't rush forward, according to the physical strength of the soldiers, we can grasp the speed of the march that is not hurtful and patient, and the second battalion that bites our second battalion is not our opponent." Although Zhang Ting said so, he didn't dare to underestimate the second battalion in his heart.

The commander of the second battalion walked in front of the team, and from time to time he issued orders to the behind, "Hold your feet steady, and follow one closely with the other." ”

"Don't put all your energy on the battalion in front of you, go your own way."

"Spare up the stamina and prepare for the final sprint."

The soldiers of the second battalion are still complaining about their battalion commander, and the soldiers are all working hard, always following behind the second battalion, and eating the dust of their heels feels too embarrassing. But when the soldiers saw the three battalions behind them, slowly revealing more than 20 meters, they felt satisfied in their hearts.

At this time, the third battalion, the soldiers have been marching for more than four hours, feeling that the strength is not enough, looking at the second battalion marching in front, leaving the third battalion behind, anxious, speeding up the pace and rushing up, several times, the soldiers slowly lost the motivation to catch up with the second battalion, and began to have a slack mentality.

Qi Benfeng, the commander of the third battalion, was anxious in his eyes, and he called several cadres and fighters of the third battalion who were the most motivated to come to him, and whispered a few words, and these people immediately became active, and came up with various tricks while marching, propagandizing and encouraging the soldiers to work harder and catch up with the second battalion in front.

A platoon commander in charge of these propaganda and agitation shouted to himself: "Brother comrade, work hard, don't talk about the wind under your feet, don't talk about bubbles under your feet, as long as you are not afraid of hardship in your heart, the first battalion and the second battalion are nothing." ”

"Brother comrade, good job, look at you and me on the march, the third battalion is not muddy, I think of how brutal the devil is, and he stomps on his feet in every difficulty."

When the soldiers heard these encouraging words, they quickened their feet, and quickly followed the second battalion in front of them, and one by one the soldiers shouted arrogantly: "The third battalion is not muddy, the first battalion and the second battalion are nothing." ”

The second battalion, which was walking in front, heard the third battalion mocking the first and second battalions behind them, and some soldiers shouted uncontrollably: "The third battalion surpasses the second battalion if it has the ability, why do you always follow behind and eat our heels, isn't this your own mouth?" Hahaha. ”

In his heart, the propaganda and agitation work done by the third battalion in the back will further stimulate the unyielding psychology of the soldiers of the second battalion.

Zheng Tie and Zhang Ting in front, heard laughter from time to time behind them, and sometimes heard a few words slipping away, Zhang Ting couldn't help but stop, and when the troops walked over, he heard it, this is the second and third battalions competing in words, who is not convinced.

He caught up with Zheng Tie in front and said with a smile: "The propaganda and agitation work done by the second and third battalions in the back is doing well, shouldn't we also be active and improve the spirit of the soldiers?" ”

"Don't care about the second or third battalions, you know, when people are tired, every time they say a word, even a word, they will consume their strength and make them toss, as long as our soldiers have stamina, it must be our first battalion if they arrive at the assembly place in advance."

The three main battalions of the independent regiment had been marching for more than five hours, and when the soldiers left Santougu, they encountered a forced march on a muddy road with heavy rain, and they knew that the regimental commander would not order the troops to suspend and rest in a short period of time, and they knew that the future was difficult and dangerous, and they did not dare to slack off, and if they wanted to successfully complete the 120-mile road in 20 hours, they must strengthen their confidence in order to persevere to the end and reach the assembly area.

Luo Jinchuan looked at the tired soldiers, and they had begun to stumble when they walked, and some of them had difficulty taking every step. He has led the troops for several years, and he has never pulled the troops so ruthlessly, and he can't help but feel unbearable when he walks such a long way.

He saw that Lei Jian's face was cold, his two thick eyebrows frowned together, the corners of his mouth bent downward, and a kind of dissatisfaction in his heart was revealed without restraint, and he couldn't help asking: "Captain Lei, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Lei Jian shook his head and said: "Political Commissar Luo, the forced march is one hundred and twenty miles, and there is still a time limit, I am afraid that our soldiers will not be able to hold on, and once they arrive at the designated assembly place in the mountain column, I am afraid that it will disrupt the combat deployment of the entire superior." ”

"Yes, I see that the soldiers have been marching for five or six hours, and the water and rice have not been touched, so I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on, and once the whole army is tired and lying down, it will delay the big thing, or the troops will suspend the march, rest on the spot for half an hour, and wait for the soldiers to recover and then continue to advance?"

"Political Commissar Luo, you may not have led the troops on a long and rapid march, and you don't have a deep understanding of human endurance, do you know? When a person is in the most difficult and most need to rest, his psychological defense has begun to relax, and once he can't bear to indulge, this person will completely collapse.

Now our soldiers, the rapid march from the assembly place we arrived, only to walk out of less than four parts, at this time is the time when each soldier's psychological obstacle is the largest, we dare not propose to suspend rest at this time, we must grind the endurance of the fighters to seventy, overcome all the difficulties of the first seventy, the soldiers rest, in order to really relax, urgently need to replenish the strength, just like a sponge absorbs water, full is not wasted. ”

Luo Jinchuan heard what Lei Jian said so profoundly, he frowned, and said as if he didn't understand: "Lei boy, can you say something that I can understand?" What endurance, seventy percent, sponge ......, it sounds like listening to the book of heaven, and the confused is a blind guess, and I can't guess a way, where did you learn this stinky boy, it makes me too confused. ”

"Hahaha, Political Commissar Luo, to put it in layman's terms, it's like working in the farmland, you feel a little tired and don't do it, squatting on the ground and smoking, the more you smoke, the more you don't want to move, you look at the work in the field and worry, if you make more efforts, grit your teeth and stick to it, do half or more of the work in the field and then rest, you smoke a bag of cigarettes, look at the farm work that is about to be completed, can you still rest? You'll jump up and work harder, and you'll do all the work very happily, I don't know if it makes sense, don't you think that's the reason? ”

"Captain Lei, do you mean to go all out and defeat yourself first, and then there will be not so much pressure on you to walk the road behind, right?"

"Political Commissar Luo, it seems to mean something." After Lei Jian finished speaking, he missed the team around him, rushed to the front battalion, jumped off the war horse and handed it to Qu Jiaming, the guard who came up.

Zheng Tie saw Lei Jian rushing up, he approached Lei Jian with a smile, and said as he walked: "Commander Lei, are you a little worried about my battalion, catch up and hurry up, right?" ”

"I like to listen to what your brother says, that's what I mean, now the soldiers are tired from the long march, and the body is also the weakest, as long as you get through, insist on continuing to advance for another twenty miles, and rest, the whole person can get the most comprehensive relaxation, order the troops, speed up, and rush to the Houma Mountain in front, the troops stop advancing, and replenish their diet." Lei Jian said, striding at the front of the group.

Zheng Tie quickly transmitted the latest order issued by the thunder sword to the back, and when all the soldiers of the three battalions knew, the vanguard had already increased its speed, and the entire army had made a rapid march again.

The warriors did not stop from the beginning of the march, and at this time fatigue, hunger and lack of water attacked every warrior, but none of them cried out that they were tired.
