Chapter Ninety-Nine: Staying the Course

Sun Wen took a deep breath and inadvertently wrapped his hands around the table. Chen Jiongming was right, the uprisings in Nanjing and Wuchang were carried out by Li Yuanhong and Chen Dequan in the final analysis, and these two people were not pure revolutionaries at all in the eyes of Sun Wen and others, and it was almost impossible to expect them to fight to the death for the revolution.

They also had a good idea of the quality of the revolutionary army in these two places, and if the Northeast did not send troops, there was no possibility of holding Nanjing.

His eyes glanced at Chen Jiongming: "Jiongming, I want you to go to Guangdong, go to Guangdong immediately!" Organize our revolutionary liliang there. ”

Guangdong can be said to be Sun Wen's base camp, and it is also the place where he has been operating for many years. Now that Guangdong has also responded to the revolution, Sun Wen has not had time to investigate the specific situation, but he thinks that the situation is easier to control than Nanjing and Wuchang.

Besides, Guangdong has a long way to go, and the Beiyang Army is still out of reach, but if it is well managed, it can be used as a solid base for the revolutionary army.

Chen Jiongming was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded: "Okay." ”

Chen Jiongming knew that he would face a big challenge when he went to Guangzhou, and he needed funds to build a base, but Sun Wen only came back with the dreams and expectations of the people of the whole country this time. Maybe you have to pay for the road out of your own pocket.

But he did not hesitate in the slightest, nor did he bargain. At this time, Chen Jiongming was Sun Wen's staunchest supporter and friend, and he was willing to do everything for Sun Wen because they had the same dream.

Sun Wen didn't say anything more, and there was no need for too many words among the revolutionary comrades. His topic immediately turned to Yang Xiaolin: "We have to continue to work hard here, and the provisional government must be formed immediately, the sooner the better!" At the same time, we will enlist the support and sympathy of the international community, so that all Shijie will know that we are fighting for democracy and freedom! Let's get in touch with the Northeast again, hopefully, that stubborn guy can change his attitude. ”

Just like Yang Xiaolin followed Sun Wen's understanding, Sun Wen also understood Yang Fighting Ghosts. From that time when he waved his fist at himself in Yulu Mountain, Sun Wen knew that this was a person who would never compromise. But Sun Wen won't give up. He won't give up until Zuihou takes a step. If he could, he wouldn't be Sun Wen.

With a sigh, Sun Wen picked up the hat he put on the table: "Let's go, let's go and send Jiongming, Jiongming went to Guangdong this time, it can be said that he shouldered the hope of all of us." ”

Chen Jiongming's face was a little heavy: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in Guangdong, if there is an accident in Nanjing, I will wait for Mr. in Guangzhou." ”

Sun Wen patted him on the shoulder.

Leaving the office building of the provisional government, Sun Wen found that many people had gathered around the corner of the street. On top of a high platform. There was a very young man who was giving a passionate speech:

"The Chinese nation has reached a turning point! The mission of our generation is to put an end to the Manchu dynasty! It is China that pursues democracy! But there are always some people who don't want China to move towards democracy, and don't want China to become rich and strong! The reactionary shili led by the Beiyang Army launched a counterattack against us, the beast in the northeast also opposed democracy, and our revolutionary soldiers shed blood and died on the front line! As a Chinese, each of us should stand up, have money to contribute, and have the strength to contribute! We will follow in the footsteps of Mr. Sun Wen and fight to the end for a democratic China! I believe that we will be able to achieve victory under the leadership of Mr. Sun Wen! Because the tide of revolution is unstoppable! Whether it is the Beiyang Army or the Volunteer Army. In front of our revolutionary soldiers, they will inevitably be defeated! ”

The speech was very passionate, many people stopped to watch, and the young man's vibrating arms drove the emotions of the people around him. A loud slogan shouted, and Sun Wen's footsteps slowed down unconsciously.

Hu Hanmin glanced at the young man on the stage: "Yixian, this young man's name is He Haiming, and he is a book writer." During this time, he and a group of young people went around giving speeches, and at the same time organizing fundraisers to raise supplies for our soldiers on the front line. ”

Sun Wen smiled: "Democracy is the trend. It's the trend, unstoppable! We have to work harder, harder, so that these children's passion can continue to burn. What they are burning is China's hope. ”

At this moment, Sun Wen's heart is really high-spirited! His steps became firm, for he knew that the people were on his side! He carries the hopes of countless people on his shoulders, and no matter how difficult the future is, he must fight!

Northeast.

Regarding the council meeting that Chen Tianhua and Zou Rong were preparing to convene, Yang Xiaolin did not pay too much attention. Yang Du said that it would be okay to leave this matter to him, and believed that Yang Du, a conspirator, would definitely have the ability to smash Chen Tianhua and Zou Rong's calculations.

Yang Xiaolin's only request to Yang Du was not to go too far. To be honest, he was not afraid that Chen Tianhua would quarrel with him, what he was afraid of was that these people would turn around and leave the Northeast! In that case, the blow to the Northeast will be immeasurable.

Fortunately, everyone is not a child anymore, although Chen Tianhua is a little enthusiastic, he has no idea of running away from home. Chen Tianhua just vented his anger on his attitude towards Yang Xiaolin, Yang Xiaolin avoided him when he walked during this time, as long as he didn't go, Commander Yang let him.

Commander Yang still put his mind on the construction of his troops, and looked at the second pole standing opposite, a smile appeared on his face: "Pole, do you have confidence?" ”

The two poles stood upright: "Report to the commander!" Have confidence! ”

After shouting, his eyes also swept over Shi Xiaowu, Ma You, and Wang Jinhan who were standing beside him. That look obviously said to Yang Xiaolin that these three people were not challenging him.

Yang Xiaolin knew the second pole, and asking him if he had confidence was simply nonsense, this kid had never dared to dare. He walked back and forth along the line of three thousand people: "Check the equipment!" Survival bombs must be brought, two per person must be missing! If someone can't hold on, pull it right away, and there will be a team to save you! No food is allowed, only one jug of water per person is allowed! Someone will come to check before departure, and if it is found that the regulations are violated, it will be treated as a waiver! ”

All three thousand soldiers immediately began to check their equipment.

Unlike the previous Volunteers, like a year ago, the equipment of the Volunteers was hung on their bodies, and it was better to use Russian or Japanese bullet bags to carry ammunition, or get a bag to carry some necessary supplies.

The current volunteers are all equipped with special carrying equipment. This is also a pioneering move by Yang Xiaolin in his own army. In today's era, the Volunteers can be said to be the only army in Shijie that regards carrying equipment as the primary equipment.

A set of three carrying equipment and a strap. Vests, backpacks. Don't underestimate these three things, although they are all made of linen, but the reaction of the soldiers after being equipped with the troops is very good.

Let's talk about the vest first, there is no bulletproof vest Yang Fighting Ghost, although there is no bulletproof function, but there are six bags on the left and right on the chest, and the three bullets on the left can hold more than 100 bullets. There are three grenades hanging on the right, and I put a set of grenades on my body, and I feel more like I have a grenade in my waist than before. The bullets bulging in the trouser pockets are much more comfortable.

The strap is hung on the back after putting on the vest, and inside is a water bottle and a lunch box, which can carry food for two or three days. There are also two small pockets near the shoulders, the pockets are not large, one contains gauze, cotton, and the other puts some herbs to stop bleeding, whether they are injured or their teammates on the battlefield. can be easily processed immediately.

In addition, the harness also has a long holster, which can be dragged down and fixed directly on the thigh, which is specially used for pistols, and the soldier can adjust the position himself according to the length of his arm. Make sure the pistol is close at hand. That's a fraction of a second faster than putting a pistol in your waist and pulling it out. On the battlefield, especially when encountering suddenly, a few tenths of a second can make the difference between life and death!

Inside the backpack is a quilt. A few pieces of clothing. There is also a weapon pouch on each side of the backpack, and on one side is a melee weapon and a bayonet. Daggers and the like. The other bag contained the essential tool of the Volunteers: the Sapper Shovel.

Another difference between the Volunteers and other units is in the sapper shovel, where each soldier has to carry a small shovel, which other armies do not have.

There are no such carriers even for the British. It looks like four pieces of equipment were loaded on the soldiers, but these four pieces saved the soldiers a lot of trouble! Yang Xiaolin has a deep understanding that when he was chased by the Russians and Japanese in the past, when he got up from the ground, he either fell this or forgot that, anyway, there was always something that disappeared when he woke up.

Especially in the battle of Biaozi's attack on Korea, the non-combat attrition of the entire Liaoxi detachment reached more than 2,000 people, and the main reason was that the soldiers were too troublesome to salute! If you get up in the morning in a hurry, you can throw something on the ground.

With this set of marching equipment, the soldiers carried them on their backs and all of them left. In addition, each squad was equipped with two to three bicycles and carried some equipment and weapons, and the amount of combat materials carried by the small group of volunteers was quite sufficient.

A set of carrying equipment is not worth much, like the kind of high-end goods used by American GIs in later generations, Yang Xiaolin can't afford to use it, and it is sewn from ordinary linen.

More than 3,000 soldiers had a much faster time to check their equipment. After two minutes, however, they had all the equipment in front of them, waiting for the other team to inspect them.

Next to these 3,000 people, Sui Bing's first division was already in place, and 10,000 soldiers were fully armed. After these 3,000 brothers entered Changbai Mountain, they immediately went in to arrest people, and anyone who was caught by them was considered to have lost.

Not only the first division, but Tang Yulin and Liu Xianhe's team had already set up one defense line after another in the mountain, waiting for these soldiers without supplies to break into their ambush circle. The Volunteers had never conducted such a drill before, so everyone involved was very excited, a bit like a game of hide and seek, only this time the number of participants was larger.

Yang Xiaolin turned around and returned to the platform, and someone had already begun to check the soldiers' equipment to see if there were any illegal items. His eyes looked at the audience and said loudly: "Remember, you are now a group of troops that were suddenly broken up by the enemy, you have no supplies, no ammunition, and no one to answer you!" There is an enemy around you, and your purpose is to get rid of the enemy! Either way! I will wait for you in Baishan County, as long as you can come to my side, you will be good and victorious! The first two brothers who came to me were the commanders of the 11th and 12th Divisions! Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Hear me clearly!"

The soldier's answer was very loud, Cai Ye looked at his watch, walked to Yang Xiaolin's side and said, "Commander, the time is up." ”

Yang Xiaolin looked around, and he knew very well in his heart that such a drill would kill people. In the vast mountains, it is very dangerous for everyone to walk in with only a pot of water. Even if those people carry survival smoke bombs, there is no guarantee that every call for help will be detected by those around them.

Some of these 3,000 people will never be able to go to Baishan, and there will definitely be more people who will be eliminated actively or passively. Commander Yang's goal is one-tenth, if 300 people can go to Baishan County, it means that this period of training is effective, and it shows that if his team is suddenly surrounded and scattered by others, at least it has the ability to preserve the system. As for breaking through a line of defense made up of soldiers of the special operations brigade in Zuihou, it must be very rare.

He nodded his head twice: "Go!" (To be continued......)
