readx; "Sergeant Li, where are you?" As soon as Sergeant Lee put the Ueno Sadaho's things in his backpack as trophies, he heard someone shouting behind him, and turned his head to see that it was his immediate boss, Lieutenant Pei. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Immediately turned around and trotted over: "Lieutenant Pei, then say, 'This officer is still a captain!'" I figured I should at least be a squadron leader! ”

It is said that the military establishment is similar to that of Beiyang in the past, because the establishment of Beiyang is called "this army, and the army is composed of one division, two brigades and four regiments, with three brigades under the jurisdiction of the regiment, and four squadrons under one brigade." And this brigade is equivalent to the battalion of the Chinese Army, the squadron is equivalent to the company, and the squad is the platoon corresponding to the Chinese Army.

According to the military rank system and military rank system of the army, the person who can be hung up with the rank of captain is at least a squadron leader, which is similar to the Chinese army, and the company commander in the army is also a captain.

Lieutenant Pei looks young, but twenty-three or fourteen years old, much younger than Sergeant Li, although the military rank is higher than Sergeant Li and he is still his top boss, but Lieutenant Pei did not put on an officer's stand, and immediately said: "Look at you squatting over there for a long time, you should have caught a good product!" ”

Sergeant Li smiled after hearing this: "That's, look! As he spoke, he took out the saber he was carrying on his back: "Pull it out and look at the blade!" ”

After hearing this, Lieutenant Pei also pulled out the blade, and the clear inscription on the sword with a cold glow suddenly appeared in front of Lieutenant Pei's eyes, and he immediately nodded: "Yes, good knife, much stronger than those machine steel knives!" ”

At present, the officers of the two armies have swords, but the sabers of the Chinese Army are more ornaments, and most of the officers are used as ornaments, and basically they do not carry sabers into battle. And it is said that "sabers are extremely common in this army, not only officers, but also non-commissioned officers such as Cao Chang and Jun Cao, and in actual combat, the low-ranking officers who say "Ben also like to charge with sabers." This is not to say who is good and who is bad, but the habits of the two are different, in fact, when the officers are personally in battle to kill the enemy, whether it is with a saber or a pistol, there is no difference.

It is said that although the saber in the army has unified the standard, but the spirit of bushido is rampant, many officers have good swords handed down from their ancestors or purchased by themselves, so a small number of officers will wear their own good swords with the handle of the standard as a saber, this situation is especially popular among the upper officers, and those junior officers who have no money can only use ordinary sabers made of machine steel.

It has been two days since the armored group crossed the river in Gulouzi, and the First Armored Division has also fought several battles before and after, but although there are many soldiers killed and wounded, there are not many officers, and there are even fewer officers like captains, so although there are many sabers in the trophies captured by the soldiers, they are basically inferior ordinary sabers.

Seeing the look of appreciation on Lieutenant Pei's face, Sergeant Li said, "If you like it, Lieutenant, take it, anyway, it's useless for me to take this knife!" ”

In the relevant regulations of the army, only officers can wear swords, non-commissioned officers and soldiers can only be equipped with a short sword, but even if this kind of trophy can not be worn by themselves, but it can also be placed on the wall of their own home, Lieutenant Pei naturally does not believe that Sergeant Li will give it to him for nothing, their friendship is not good to this extent, but looking at Sergeant Li's expression, Lieutenant Pei is not willing to return the knife, so he said: "Say, how much?" Don't be too ruthless! ”

Sergeant Li smiled and stretched out two fingers: "Two hundred!" ”

Lieutenant Pei said, "Two hundred? You dare to think about it!! ”

Sergeant Li said: "Anyway, you have money, and your family is not short of money to be able to go to a military school, and spending 200 yuan to buy a good knife is not expensive, not expensive!" ”

Lieutenant Pei's family is quite wealthy, in fact, those who can go to military schools this year are not children from low-income families, this is not to say that several major military schools in China do not allow civilian children to sign up, nor how expensive these military schools are to charge tuition, but to apply for these military schools, you must first be graduates of domestic primary high schools, and then if you want to fight your way out of those many competitors, you must have other advantages, such as excellent grades, family background, recommendation letters, etc. The latter background and recommendation letters only increase the chances of admission, so I won't talk about it for now, but the fact that I graduated from elementary school alone can definitely refuse more than 90% of civilian children from the gate of the military school.

In these years, it costs money to go to school, and Chen Jingyun has no money left over to engage in compulsory education, whether it is a public school or a private school, it is necessary to charge tuition. Primary school is fine, primary school and higher primary school are not expensive, ordinary peasant families can grit their teeth and provide a child to study these six years, and most of the ordinary people will enter social work after reading these six years, and because they can find more decent jobs because of cultural knowledge, the higher primary school diploma in this era is much more useful than the undergraduate in later generations!

And the secondary school stage after these six years of basic education is a watershed. More than ten years have passed, although China's education has developed rapidly, except for a few regions such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and southern Anhui, which can make one primary middle school in one county, most of the other regions have failed to meet this standard, and generally only one primary middle school is in two or three counties.

Because of the shortage of teachers in secondary education, the cost is also large, so the tuition fee of this middle school is very high, just the tuition fee of the public primary high school is twenty or thirty yuan a year, not counting the other expenses of schooling, which is the money of a 75 mm shell, but this money is still not those peasant families can take out, rural children can go to middle school, only a very small number of academically excellent people can get scholarships. Even for urban families, taking ordinary urban residents in Shanghai as an example, these low-income families who pull rickshaws, carry bags at the dock, and work in silk reeling factories will not earn more than 10 yuan a month, and most of them are between 5 and 8 yuan, at least half of which need to be spent on buying food. For example, if the man is a company employee or a school teacher, the monthly family income is about 30 to 40, which can save about half in addition to expenses, and it is not a big problem to provide for one child to go to school, but it will be very difficult if there are more than two.

Although the tuition fee of junior high school is also expensive, ordinary families can still survive by gritting their teeth, and if you want to continue to study in higher secondary school, the high tuition fee is nothing more than affordable for ordinary families, and as for college, it is even more expensive, and the middle class with a monthly income of more than 100 yuan have to make careful calculations to provide for a child to go to college.

However, higher education and universities are already higher education in China today, and in order to make high school and university affordable for more poor children, the Ministry of Education has implemented high tuition fees in high schools and universities. This sounds a little strange, but the fact is that when high schools recruit students, they will admit at least half of the students with excellent grades, and these people can get high scholarships, and these scholarships naturally come from those self-funded students.

This is especially true in private schools, where there are only two kinds of students, one is a genius and the other is a second-generation official/rich second-generation.

To put it simply, under the condition that the cost of education cannot be reduced, let some self-financed students from wealthy families bear the education cost of poor students.

The lack of an education system makes it impossible for the vast majority of children to obtain primary secondary education, and the enrollment conditions of domestic military schools are recruited from primary secondary schools, so the vast majority of civilian disciples are rejected in disguise.

Shut down

Although Lieutenant Pei's family is not very wealthy, his father is a teacher at Hangzhou High School, and the income of the whole family is not low, so he does not have to bear the family's expenses after graduating and serving, so he still has more money on hand, so he just asks how much.

Sergeant Li is also an old fritter, and immediately said: "The price is two hundred!" ”

After that, he lowered his voice again: "I promise not to tell the outside world that this knife is mine!" ”

Lieutenant Pei is a young man in the end, and his monthly salary as a lieutenant is not low, although the army has implemented a compulsory military system, and the recruitment has been changed to compulsory soldiers, but the welfare system of officers and non-commissioned officers has not been reduced too much, because compulsory soldiers can be retired after three years of soldiers, and officers and non-commissioned officers are professional soldiers, most of them have been in the army all their lives, although they are not as good as the former Qing Dynasty, they still earn a lot of money, an officer with the rank of major can get more than 500 yuan a month, and in wartime, there is a wartime allowance and can get more, Lieutenant Pei's words are only a small platoon commander, but the monthly income is more than 100, and after participating in the war with the army, plus the wartime allowance, there are almost 200 yuan a month, this income is definitely a high-income group in the society at that time, more than his father, a middle school principal who has been a teacher for more than ten years. There is also a tradition of high salaries for officers, and the salary of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty is 100 taels of silver, and 80 taels of silver at public expense, totaling 180 taels.

However, as long as you become an officer, you basically step into the middle class with one foot, if you become a colonel, you will already enter the upper class, and you will be called brothers and sisters with the county magistrates and mayors, and you can smoke from the grave of your ancestors to make you a general, then another prominent family in the elite class of the republic was born from your hands, and your son will not only be able to shout when he goes out in the future: "My father is Li Gang!" Instead, you can hook your hands casually, then Li Gang has to climb in front of you and say like a dog: "Prince? What are the commands? ”。

If the welfare of officers is not high enough, how can it attract countless junior high school graduates from all over the country to apply for military academies? Although the ideals of China's rejuvenation and defending the country are very beautiful, people also have to eat and live. It can not only protect the family, defend the country and rejuvenate China, but also make the family prominent, why not.

So Lieutenant Pei really has a lot of money in his hand, and the more he looks at the Taiyu knife in his hand, the more he likes it, and he immediately nodded and said: "Then I will have this knife in my hands, and when I get to the battalion headquarters, I will ask the post office to transfer the money to you!" ”

Although Lieutenant Pei has money, he does not put a few hundred yuan in his pocket every day, and the salaries of soldiers used to be paid by Huaxia Bank, and after Huaxia Bank was split and reorganized, it became the salaries of civil servants and soldiers directly issued by the central bank.

When Sergeant Li heard this, he laughed again: "The lieutenant is refreshing enough!" Perhaps thinking that the price was a little too expensive, Sergeant Li took out the twenty-six-year-old pistol again: "This gun can be regarded as incidental!" ”

Anyway, Sergeant Li can't look down on these six revolvers, and now China is fully equipped with 1912-style pistols, that is, the previous Yuan-style pistol, the United States M1911, the surname of the Yuan-style pistol can be quite good, basically now China's non-commissioned officers and officers and gunners, machine gunners are in the hands of each person, although ordinary soldiers are not equipped with pistols, but many soldiers with loose hands will also buy one at their own expense and take it to the battlefield, anyway, the internal self-purchase price of the military department is also cheap, One more gunfight gives you a better chance of survival, and as for the revolver, it has long been eliminated.

Since it was incidental, Lieutenant Pei was not polite, so he took it, but obviously he was more interested in the knife in his hand. After hanging the knife on his waist, Lieutenant Pei said: "Let's go, we will also delay for a while, Lao Pan and they have already gone away!" ”

These two people are still on the battlefield now, and the explosions and gunshots not far away are still continuing, and immediately Lieutenant Pei and Sergeant Li walked two steps faster to catch up with the troops.

Half an hour later, Lieutenant Pei took the platoon to which he belonged and followed a T6 tank, and once again rushed to a position called "This position, as an officer, he did not slash with a saber like those stubborn officers, nor did he take a pistol, but took a rifle, which was not even a Chinese standard rifle 1916 model, but his own 38 rifle, which is the so-called 38 big cover." This gun was also temporarily picked up by Lieutenant Pei, holding the gun, he aimed at a soldier and fired a shot, missed, and then fired two shots in a row, both missed, angry he threw down the 38 rifle, and then took a 1916-style rifle of a first-class private next to him, and then aimed, pulled the trigger, and after a gunshot, the soldier in the distance said, "This soldier is planted headlong."

"Lieutenant good marksmanship!" Sergeant Lee also bent over from the side, also holding a rifle in his hand.

Lieutenant Pei was still very good to Sergeant Li's subordinate, and immediately gave the gun back to the soldiers beside him and said, "Then I can't get used to my gun!" ”

China's 1916 rifle and the 38-year rifle are not the same rifles, the 38 rifle is 6.5 mm, while the Chinese 1916 rifle is 6.8 mm, although the appearance of the two is similar, the actual surname can not be much different, but there are still some differences in use. It is not that he can use his own gun if he picks it up, and it is impossible for a Chinese soldier who has not been specially trained to use a captured 38 rifle to hit a target at a long distance.

Sergeant Li's face was also a little dusty at this time, and the military uniform on his body was also dirty because he was lying on the ground, but Sergeant Li still smiled: "This said, 'My gun is not easy to use!'" After saying this, Sergeant Li said, "What do you do next?" ”

Lieutenant Pei lay on the position again, and then took out a telescope to look outside, but as soon as he poked his head out, a bullet hit the side, which made Lieutenant Pei shrink back all of a sudden, and then leaned back against the trench and scolded softly: "The dog's eyes are so accurate, I almost ate a gun!" ”

In the trench, he could only sit on the ground, Lieutenant Pei took out a pack of cigarettes and took out one for Sergeant Li, and then said: "It is estimated that there are few people on the other side who say, 'I am, but the marksmanship is very accurate, just now the second squad was knocked down by them two people, and the terrain over there is not suitable for mortars, so I can only touch it from the side!" ”

After taking a deep breath and smoking the cigarette halfway through: "Sergeant Li, wait a minute, you will take your group around from the south, and I will attract their attention head-on!" Try to get it here as soon as possible! The rear company is in a hurry! ”

Sergeant Li also nodded, took a puff of the cigarette in his hand and said while spitting out the smoke, "No problem! ”

Then he bit the remaining half of the cigarette and returned to the position of the first class, and then beckoned to take a dozen of his men to go around from the south.

Immediately after that, he passed by a small clearing, and at this time, although Lieutenant Pei mobilized firepower, including a 60-millimeter mortar, to carry out a frontal attack and attract the attention of the Yue army, the Yue army still found Sergeant Li and them, and then a little bit of dust came out from the feet of Sergeant Li and the others, which was the dust raised after being hit by the bullet.

Sergeant Li scolded in a low voice: "This dog said! ”

Then he ran and climbed and finally crossed the five or six meters of open space in the rain of bullets, and when he looked back, fortunately no one was injured. Leaning on the small dirt slope, he beckoned and said, "One group goes up first, the second group is behind, the third group follows me, and the machine gun team covers." ”

After the arrangement was carried out, Sergeant Li led a squad of more than a dozen people to rush towards the position of the army, and Sergeant Li's marksmanship was very accurate, and even when he was running, he raised his hand to shoot a shot, and after the gunshot, a soldier not far away said, "This soldier just fell."

Just when Sergeant Li was about to make persistent efforts and rush forward directly, suddenly a low roar came from the distance, and it didn't take long to see a T6 tank rushing up at high speed.

Seeing this, Sergeant Li scolded again: "These tanks are not here again!" ”

But now that there are tanks to support them, they don't have to take the risk of storming their own position.

After the 1st Armored Division broke through the interception of the 23rd Wing of the Japanese Army, more than 100 tanks and nearly 1,000 motorcycles and trucks went straight to Sinuiju, followed by the 13th Regiment of the 1st Division, that is, the regiment to which Lieutenant Pei belonged, this regiment, supported by some tanks of the tank battalion of the 1st Division, quickly cleared the remnants of the enemy, and followed closely behind the 1st Armored Division and went straight to Sinuiju.

At this time, although there were still more than 10,000 troops in Yizhou County, they were obviously not the offensive target of the armored group, and the First Division only left an 11th Regiment to contain them and wait for the troops of Jiuliancheng to cross the river overnight, and after the infantry units of the Eighth Army crossed the river, the 11th Regiment would also withdraw and keep up with the pace of the First Armored Division, and the task of attacking Yizhou County would be handed over to the infantry units of the Eighth Army.

After bypassing Uiju County, the armored group seemed to be heading straight for Sinuiju, but in fact, the target of the armored group was not Sinuiju, where heavy troops were gathered, but the southern area of Sinuiju. Its strategic purpose was to break through the defensive depth of the Chinese army, penetrate deep into the rear of the Chinese army, disrupt its transportation, command, and logistics systems, and cooperate with the Eighth Army to launch an all-out counteroffensive against Sinuiju.
