Chapter 61: The Song of Huangpu
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, and when Zhang Lieyang and his ninth batch of recruits gathered again at Yuhuatai, they greeted each other. After a while, a military officer walked towards them, and Zhang Lieyang immediately shouted: "Everyone is present! Attention!"
Upon hearing Zhang Lieyang's command, all the ninth-grade students reflexively lined up neatly and stood at attention. At this time, the officer had already walked to their front, opened his mouth and said: "Now I declare that from today on, the military training of the ninth-grade students of the Central Military Academy has come to an end! You will officially be enrolled in the infantry science course of the Central Military Academy!" Then the officer taught all the new students the school song of Huangpu Military Academy. In the afternoon, truck after truck carried these students away from Rain Flower Terrace, where they had stayed for half a year, and returned to the Central Military Academy.
The next morning, the grand auditorium of the Central Military Academy. When Zhang Lieyang led more than 600 new students to appear in front of all the old students again, the old students were stunned by their momentum! As they arrived at their seats, they heard Zhang Lieyang say loudly: "Sit down!" After hearing the command, the new students sat down in unison, with their chests out, sitting upright, their eyes fixed, and not moving a single thread. Their uniform movements gave them an aura that was breathtaking.
After a while, when Zhang Zhizhong appeared on the podium, the duty officer's loud voice rang out: "Salute!" Instantly, all the cadets in the auditorium stood up and saluted at the command. As the military music played, new and old cadets sang in unison "The Song of Huangpu". ??Across time and space, anti-Japanese special soldier 61
The new students' loud and clear voices echoed throughout the venue, giving the old students a deep shock once again!
Zhang Zhizhong smiled and looked at the new recruits, saying: "Congratulations on successfully passing the assessment! I hope you will continue to maintain the spirit of hard work, perseverance, and unity in your future studies!" As he spoke, Zhang Zhizhong opened the order in his hand and shouted: "Zhang Lieyang!"
Hearing his name being called out, Zhang Lieyang immediately stood up and saluted: "Present!"
"Zhang Lieyang is hereby appointed as the commander of the 9th student battalion of the Central Military Academy! He will be responsible for managing the daily affairs of the 9th batch of students! Central Military Academy, November 27, 1922!"
After finishing reading out the order, Zhang Zhizhong closed the document and said to all the new students: "Your batch and the 8th batch are similar in terms of education system, both adopting German-style military education! However, this batch will have German military officers as guest lecturers!"
It's been over a month since classes started! The learning progress and knowledge acceptance ability of the 9th batch of students have left all the instructors at the Central Military Academy speechless. What the 8th batch learned in a month, they learned in just 10 days, and their flexible application even surpassed that of the 8th batch students.
Time flies and it's already January 1933. Zhang Lieyang smiled as he looked at the calendar, saying to his dorm-mates: "Time really flies! Chinese New Year is just around the corner!"
"Yes! Instructor, what are you going to tell us tonight?" asked Peng Haisheng, the captain of the same dormitory squad with a smile.
"What? You want to hang out with your classmates tonight? That's great! I can finally take a break!" Zhang Lieyang said, closing his book and looking at Peng Haisheng.
Peng Haisheng looked at Zhang Lieyang with an innocent face and said, "Boss! Just look at my pitiful state and spare me, okay?!"
"You also know what's pitiful?!" Zhang Lieyang said with a faint tone after taking a sip of water: "This time I'll let you off! But tomorrow, the breakfast for the entire dormitory will be made by you!"
"Alright! No problem, boss!" Peng Haisheng replied happily.
Seeing their excited faces, Zhang Lieyang stood up, adjusted his clothes and said: "Notify all the brothers, tonight we will have a sand table exercise!"
As soon as Zhang Lieyang gave the order, everyone in the dormitory immediately sprang into action. It turned out that Zhang Lieyang used his proficiency in multiple languages to give small lectures to their ninth-grade classmates during his free time. At first, only ninth-grade students attended, but after a month of development, even some teachers joined the ranks of listeners!
That night, everyone appeared in front of the temporary sandbox made by Zhang Lieyang. Zhang Lieyang said: "The old saying goes well: talking without practicing is a verbal technique, practicing without talking is a manual technique, and both talking and practicing are true techniques! Today we will practice, I will be the referee, all students will be divided into two groups according to their student numbers, one group will play as the Soviet Union, the other group will play as our army!" Zhang Lieyang walked to the sandbox and continued: "This is a sandbox made by me imitating the Sino-Soviet border area. Now you each take your own flag and start the simulation."
Zhang Lieyang looked at everyone's expressions and smiled: "Today's topic is, if the Soviet Union invades, how should we fight back?"
After a while, when the two armies were separated, Zhang Lieyang continued: "Now begin!"
After hearing Zhang Lieyang's order, the two sides began to fight. About three hours later, the result of the battle was that the Soviet Union won with its equipment advantage! Seeing this result, Zhang Lieyang immediately frowned and said: "How did you two command?! It's simply chaotic!" Pointing at the students who played the Soviet army, Zhang Lieyang said: "Is this how to use tanks?! Who taught you, that idiot?!"
Just as Zhang Lieyang continued to scold, a German instructor walked out and said: "This student, let you command the Soviet army, I'll command the Chinese army, how about we conduct an exercise according to your words?"
"Good!" Zhang Lieyang walked to the front of the sandbox, looked at the German instructor and asked: "Can I start now?" ?? Crossing Time and Space Anti-Japanese Special Soldier 61
"Of course!" said the German instructor with a smile.
"I've concentrated all the tanks on the border, first conducting a half-hour artillery bombardment by two 105mm and 120mm caliber howitzer regiments!" Zhang Lieyang said, pointing to the bombardment area with his command baton, then asked: "What will be the result of a half-hour bombardment by 105mm and 120mm caliber howitzers here?"
"The troops I deployed here were annihilated by your devastating blow!" The German instructor said sternly.
"Alright, now the artillery attack expands, bombers carrying incendiary bombs take off, targeting the area that was just bombarded! Fifteen minutes after the planes took off, tanks advance in battalion units, followed by infantry! Just as Zhang Lieyang was about to continue giving orders, a round of applause suddenly drew everyone's attention. When the students saw it was their principal, they all heard Zhang Lieyang shout: "Attention! Principal is here!"
Chiang Kai-shek and German military advisor General Hans von Seekt walked over. Just then, General Hans von Seekt excitedly said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Chairman Chiang, I am delighted to see such a military genius in your military academy! He just demonstrated a complete three-dimensional attack system for us!" As he spoke, General Hans von Seekt looked at the German instructor and said: "Now you've seen the prowess of Chinese students, haven't you?!"
The German instructor smiled and nodded. With the approval of the German general advisor, Chiang Kai-shek also smiled at all the students present and said: "I am proud to have students like you!" As he spoke, Chiang Kai-shek walked up to Zhang Lieyang again and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "You're doing great!"
