In an ordinary courtyard house in the ancient city, a strong military officer was teaching his children to read under a tree. The leaves fell to the ground, were blown up by the wind, and fell gently beside the child. The child sat at a small desk with his father. Reading and watching the child read aloud in a mellow tone, the officer's face looked very peaceful. Perhaps only by being by the child's side could he be able to make himself so peaceful and get rid of the torture caused by killing. This situation lasted for several days. In this year, the difference is that the person who accompanies the child to study is the child's mother.
On the smoke-filled battlefield, an officer led his soldiers to fight bravely and braved the enemy's fierce artillery fire. The soldiers in the front positions fled one after another. Soon, they captured the enemy's position. After a short rest, these soldiers The officer continued to lead the troops forward, climbed over the moat, put the ladder on the enemy's wall, and climbed up the ladder himself until he planted the military flag on the tower. After the war, Feng Yuxiang personally ordered Wang Ping to be promoted to major battalion commander. This year, young Wang Hui was only 12 years old.
Another year, Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang launched a joint anti-Chiang war, known in history as the "Central Plains War". Nearly a million soldiers from all sides fought together on the smoke-filled battlefield, with continuous artillery fire. The people were miserable because Zhang Xueliang announced the change of flag in Northeast China. Commanding the army to enter the pass, Feng Yuxiang was defeated and retreated overseas, and Yan Xishan also fled back to his hometown of Taiyuan. Therefore, all of Feng Yuxiang's troops were recruited by Chiang Kai-shek. Wang Ping, who was brave and good at fighting, not only did not lose his official position, but was promoted to lieutenant colonel leader by Chen Cheng's characteristics, and transformed into the Central Army! This year, young Wang Hui was only 16 years old.
A year later, the September 18th Incident occurred, which shocked China and the rest of the world. All departments of the Central Military Commission requested the Central Military Commission to participate in the war and regain the mountains and rivers. The officers and soldiers of the Wangping Regiment also requested the commander of the regiment. Chiang Kai-shek refused to approve any of them, which greatly damaged the morale of the Chinese army. This year, young Wang Hui was only 17 years old.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Ping of the National Army asked for leave to go home for the funeral because his wife passed away. This year, Wang Hui was 18 years old. Because he had no relatives in the ancient city, and to prevent Wang Hui from interacting with other progressive young people, Wang Ping returned to the army. At that time, he took Wang Hui to the army together.
Another year has passed. A large area of China's great rivers and mountains has changed its color, and it is the ordinary people who are suffering.
"Good marksmanship," adjutant Zhao Fei applauded. Wang Hui raised his hand and fired. A wine bottle leaning on a wooden platform 20 meters away shattered. "Haha, don't praise me. I haven't done all this." You learned it." Wang Hui smiled heartily, "Report to the company commander, the regiment commander is here." A guard ran in to report. "That's all, that's all." Wang Ping led a few guards and strode in. Zhao Fei and Wang Hui immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, Captain." Wang Pingping looked at his beloved general and son with a smile, nodding constantly. Wang Ping looked at his son who had grown tall and powerful. He felt indescribable joy in his heart. He grabbed his son's shoulders and said, "Come on, show me your marksmanship."
Wang Hui was also happy to show off his marksmanship in front of his father. He picked up the Mauser pistol and waved his hand. The gun went off and the bottle shattered. Several guards cheered together. Then Wang Hui fired 5 shots in a row, beating a watermelon hanging in the corner of the yard. Crush. "Very good." Wang Ping also felt that his son's marksmanship had improved rapidly, "but he can't just be proficient with swords and guns, he must also know the art of war!" "Yes, I will follow my father's teachings," Wang Hui answered calmly. Wang Ping came here this time to inspect the training situation of the 2nd Battalion. The country is in turmoil and the current situation is delicate. Having soldiers in hand means power. Without the support of the army, doing anything is empty talk. The division that Wang Ping belongs to is a second-class division. In other words, he was born from a baby. It is incomparable with the first-class division in terms of personnel and equipment. Take rifles as an example. The First Class Division is equipped with a large number of German-made Mauser rifles. Only half of the rifles equipped by Wang Ping's troops were Chinese-style rifles, and the other half were old-fashioned rifles left over from the Central Plains War. Wang Ping actually scolded Chiang Kai-shek's mother in front of his division commander Ji Mingzhang. Although Ji Mingzhang was from the fourth phase of Huangpu, his official career was not prosperous. He was only a second-class division commander, and he was very dissatisfied.
Wang Ping patted his son's shoulder vigorously and expressed his approval for his beloved son: "Tonight we, father and son, will not return until we are drunk." Battalion Commander Cui Zhiyuan, who was from Huangpu Phase 8, looked at the father and son soldiers sourly from a distance: "After all, I am close to Ya." Staff officer Hu Ze also agreed: "After all, we are connected by blood. In just one year, I became the company commander of the national army. You, a student from Huangpu 8th grade, will be the battalion commander. Soon, you will be the battalion commander." I think your camp will be given up." Cui Zhiyuan spat angrily towards the brick-paved path. When he looked up, he saw Deputy Battalion Commander Gao Mingyao looking at him, and he quickly looked up to the sky with a guilty conscience. Gao Mingyao was Wang Ping's confidant and was originally the appointed commander of the 2nd Battalion. However, Ji Mingzhang sent his younger brother Cui Zhiyuan to replace him as battalion commander. Cui Zhiyuan was actually a major agent of the military command and had a special mission to monitor Wang Ping's every move. , and Gao Mingyao was also sent by Wang Ping to monitor and contain Cui Zhiyuan. The two sides were at war with each other privately, but on the surface they were in harmony. Far away, Gao Mingyao clasped his fists and saluted: "Captain Cui, Staff Officer Hu." Cui Zhiyuan and Hu Ze hurriedly returned the salute with smiles on their faces: "Isn't this Battalion Commander Gao?" The three people gathered around to greet each other, sighed and talked. Judging from the past and present, people who don’t know would think that these three people are really good friends!
Wang Ping also saw these three people from a distance and frowned. He hated these arrogant Huangpu students from the bottom of his heart. They thought that they were disciples of the emperor and always showed off their power in front of others. Even Cui Zhiyuan, the leader of the regiment, did not let them go. In his eyes, he was always stumbling upon and confronting him, and he would always show off his status as a Huangpu student and the CEO's disciple. But on the surface, Wang Ping had to give some face to President Jiang's protégé. After all, he was from an unknown background and was not as good as these young officers who were his direct descendants.
Cui Zhiyuan and Hu Ze came together to meet the regimental leader. Cui Zhiyuan seemed particularly friendly today. When they met, they gave a military salute: "The regimental leader is here to greet me. I am sorry for my humble duty. I forgive you." Wang Ping waved his hand: "We are all one family. Why should people be so polite? Are you all ready?" Cui Zhiyuan replied: "Brothers are all ready and are waiting for the regiment review at any time." Hu Ze invited Wang Pinghe to the playground to inspect the troop training, while Gao Mingyao cordially took Wang Pinghe to the training ground. Hui and Zhao Fei were walking a few steps behind them.
"Brothers, do you still remember what day it is today?" Wang Ping stood on the platform and said to all the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion. "Remember," the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion replied loudly: "Today is the third anniversary of the fall of the three eastern provinces!" Cui Zhiyuan curled his lips in disapproval behind Wang Ping. "Yes," Wang Ping continued: "The three eastern provinces have been occupied by the Japs for three years, but what have we, the soldiers with the responsibility of defending the territory, been doing in the past three years? Training, training, training! Then why don't we We have stopped training just so that one day when the Chairman of the Generalissimo orders us to regain the lost territory, we can serve the country, regain the three northeastern provinces, and drive the little devils out of China. Do you think you want to?" "I want to" the troops below the stage responded thunderously, " Do you have confidence?" Wang Ping asked loudly, "Yes", "Are there any cowards?" "Yes", there was a sudden silence, and then a thunderous reply: "There are no cowards!" Wang Pingxin said, the military spirit can be used. Wang Ping continued to speak loudly and impassionedly on the stage to boost the morale of the soldiers. It can be seen that everyone is holding back their anger and wants to show themselves well in front of the group leader.
The soldiers dispersed left and right, leaving the training field to prepare for subject drills and today's performance.
"The shooting drill begins," Hu Ze ordered. Ten soldiers held rifles and ran into the shooting position. They lay down on the ground with the muzzles forward. These ten soldiers were all skilled shooters carefully selected by Hu Ze. Cui Zhiyuan He wanted to show Wang Ping what it meant to be a person from Huangpu. As soon as the yellow flag was raised, the soldiers immediately pulled the trigger, and the target 100 meters away fell down. The soldiers watching all around cheered, and Cui Zhiyuan also felt shy and felt bright on his face. The yellow flag was raised again, and the soldiers accurately shot down targets 150 meters away, 200 meters, and 250 meters away. As the distance continued to increase, the individual shooting results were always gunshots. These 10 shooters really gave Cui Zhiyuan a lot of face, and they really hit the mark with every shot. Wang Ping couldn't help but nodded and applauded. Despite Cui Zhiyuan's poor character, he was really good at leading troops.
Next came the heavy machine gun shooting. This subject was so-so. The heavy machine gun swept over wildly with great momentum. Dust was flying in the target area. When the dust fell to the ground, everyone found that the target in the target area had only fallen down. 6. 7, and there are 6 or 7 standing there conspicuously. Before Wang Ping said anything, Cui Zhiyuan pulled his face down first, "Counsel Hu, what's going on? The key is to make a fool of me?" Hu Ze ran over and saluted and reported: "Because the heavy machine gun company has just been equipped with new firearms, the soldiers There was insufficient training, so there was a glitch. We are repairing the heavy machine gun." Cui Zhiyuan cursed in a low voice: "Damn, you really don't want to show me shame, go back." Wang Ping glanced at him, "New equipment. It's inevitable, just intensify training in the future, don't pursue it." "Yes, Tuan Zuo." Cui Zhiyuan hurriedly answered.
In the light machine gun drill, Wang Hui performed in person, and Pang Ying, the 2nd platoon leader, served as the ammunition hand. Cui Zhiyuan prayed to God and Buddha in his heart, hoping that Wang Hui would miss and let him save some face. "Papa" "papa", Wang Hui fired several bursts in succession, and the target 400 meters away fell down. "Okay," Wang Ping clapped his hands, and Cui Zhiyuan followed with a few words of praise with a dark face. When there were two bullets left, Wang Hui stopped shooting. Pang Ying handed Wang Hui a magazine filled with bullets. After loading the bullet, Wang Hui looked at a small tree 500 meters ahead. The trigger was pulled, and the bullets came out of the chamber. One round of bullets broke the small tree in half, and the crown fell to the ground, causing dust to fly. At this time, all the officers and soldiers in the audience cheered together. Some of Wang Hui's good buddies shouted louder, making Cui Zhiyuan a little embarrassed.
Cui Zhiyuan took out his housekeeping treasure and conducted a mortar battery shooting drill. The target was a dilapidated house 1 kilometer away, where a red flag had been placed. When Wang Ping saw that he was shooting at a fixed target, he smiled disapprovingly. Gao Mingyao did not miss this small move. The artillery company commander raised the small flag, and the artilleryman immediately raised the shell to the muzzle, preparing to load it. The aimer carefully observed the target. Since shooting drills at this distance had been carried out many times, the artillery company soldiers were very skilled. As the artillery company commander Jia Hua waved his small flag, "Bang, bang, bang, bang" four artillery shells soared into the sky and landed accurately near the dilapidated house. The smoke dissipated and the dilapidated house was gone, with only some remaining bricks. Broken tiles indicate that a house once stood there. Although it is a fixed target shooting exercise, this subject can be considered passable according to the level of Chinese military equipment training. Wang Ping signaled to Cui Zhiyuan that after the drill, the artillery battery would be rewarded.
The guns were fired and the cannons were fired. The next step was a close combat demonstration. 20 big men carefully selected by Cui Zhiyuan caught each other and fought against each other. The soldiers gathered around outside and cheered loudly. The big men in the field also worked hard. The regiment leader Watching from above, they naturally used all their special skills. There were exciting scenes one after another, and the cheers of the soldiers were endless. Wang Ping was also holding a teacup, sitting in the Grand Master's chair and talking to Chief of Staff Ma Ming. Ma Ming kept nodding. Cui Zhiyuan was also so excited that he stood on the sidelines and applauded loudly for the outstanding performance of his men, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Soon, the 20 big men who were fighting against each other had already decided the winner one after another. Those still standing in the field were some veterans with outstanding personal fighting skills. Captain Wang Ping was moved by the enthusiasm of the onlookers, and his palms began to itch. When he saw that there were only two people standing on the field, he could no longer hold back his desire to get off the field and try. He stood up and walked to the field. Cui Zhiyuan and Hu Ze quickly understood what was going on. They exchanged glances with each other, but did not stop the leader Wang Ping. They planned to make Wang Ping make a fool of himself, which would make them feel happy. Chief of Staff Ma tugged on Wang Ping's sleeve, but did not hold it back. He also knew that the regiment leader was moved by watching others compete. Anyway, it was not a real fight with real swords and guns. He was so happy today that he did not stop the regiment anymore. Captain, let the team leader leave the game. Gao Mingyao's sharp eyes had already caught the eye movements of Cui Zhiyuan and Hu Ze, but he did not make a sound.
The soldiers standing on the outside noticed that the regiment leader was also squeezing in, and hurriedly reminded the soldiers in front to give way. Wang Ping soon stood in the field. The two people preparing for the final duel were Second Lieutenant Xie Xiaoming, the platoon leader of the reconnaissance company, and Second Lieutenant Xie Xiaoming, the platoon leader of the reconnaissance company; The other one was Staff Sergeant Cai Xusheng of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion. When he saw the regiment leader appearing in front of him, he hurriedly stood at attention and saluted the regiment leader. Wang Ping asked them to relax and chat first. He knew both of them. Xie Xiaoming was from the 13th phase of Huangpu. He was not as arrogant as the average Huangpu student, so Wang Ping had a much better impression of him than Cui Zhiyuan. Cai Xusheng is a veteran who has followed Wang Ping for many years. He also participated in the "Central Plains War" and was injured. He was originally eliminated by the Military Inquisition Office, but because he did not have any skills and did not have any relatives at home, Wang Ping specially approved to keep him in the army. Although he did not have any skills to make a living, he was indeed very skilled in killing people. He usually liked to challenge the masters of the army, but because of his ruthless attacks, he was killed by Cui Zhiyuan. I don’t know how many times I’ve been trained. Today's fighting subject was just right for his temper. After begging Cui Zhiyuan for several days, Cui Zhiyuan agreed to let him demonstrate in the next game, but he gave him a condition, not to be too harsh, and stop at the point.
When the surrounding soldiers saw that the regiment leader had left, they cheered even louder. Wang Ping took off his military uniform and put on a short coat, telling the two men that there was no need to be merciful and that they could use whatever skills they had. Cai Xusheng is a veteran. He knows the temper and temperament of the regiment leader. He knows that deliberately showing weakness in front of the regiment leader will make the regiment leader unhappy. If you really knock him down, he will happily reward you with a few rewards. Ocean. Therefore, he first exchanged blows with the group leader, and he was not polite at first. He turned around and struck Wang Ping on his left ribs with one palm. Wang Ping stepped forward and hung his ears, avoiding the palm, and brought wind with his right fist. It hit Cai Xusheng's left ear. If this was a real punch, Cai Xusheng would have fainted on the playground. Due to his talent, Cai Xushang did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly lowered his head and dodged, and with one step, he split his palm and rushed into Wang Ping's arms. Preparing for a close combat, Wang Ping took three steps back and opened up the distance between him and Cai Xusheng. He used a Taishan move to press the top, and struck from top to bottom with split fists. If Cai Xusheng was moving forward, he would be sending his head to the enemy. On the fist, he also hurriedly made a move of leaping back, followed by a tiger sweep move, sweeping out his right leg. Wang Ping couldn't take advantage of this move. He turned to pass the leg, then turned around and struck with a palm strike. Cai Xusheng saw that he couldn't dodge, so he had to use the Five Elements Bodyguard move, which hit him head-on. Then he flipped over and removed it. With the strength of Wang Ping's palm, he stood up and clasped his fists to admit defeat. The surrounding soldiers were dazzled as they watched the two men being beaten down smoothly. They couldn't help but cheer in unison, making Cui Zhiyuan's face look very ugly.
Xie Xiaoming gave a thumbs up to the regiment leader from the bottom of his heart. Although Wang Ping was already the regiment leader, he did not waste time at all. To see a person's intelligence and commanding ability, you have to go to the battlefield to see it. When he came out, he had to look at a person's skills on the playground. Xie Xiaoming saw clearly the competition between Wang Ping and Cai Xusheng just now. Every move of the two people made Xie Xiaoming secretly surprised. Even if he asked I might not have been able to perform better than Cai Xusheng just now. Now, I felt frightened in my heart. My hands were a bit soft and I lost confidence.
Xie Xiaoming originally had the last laugh after defeating several opponents, but now he has no confidence in himself. If an army loses confidence, it will never win the war, and if a person loses confidence in himself, he will win the war. The opponent in front of you? The answer is no. After a few encounters, Xie Xiaoming was thrown far away by Wang Ping. After standing up, he clasped his fists and admitted defeat. At this time, the soldiers in the audience burst into cheers, cheering for the regimental leader's wonderful performance. Even Cui Zhiyuan had to say hello secretly. Although he looked down on these officers with no-name background, he had to admit that they, who were from Huangpu, Officers are as delicate as flowers in the flower market, and those old and rough officers who come from the military have their own unique way of fighting or leading troops. Maybe this way is not suitable for regular soldiers, but it is more suitable for China's national conditions.
Wang Ping smiled, clasped his fists and asked around: "Is there anyone else who comes out to compete with me? Hahaha, is it possible that no one in the entire 2nd Battalion dares to come out to compete with me?" Cui Zhiyuan and Cui Zhiyuan were shocked by these words. Hu Zedu frowned, feeling extremely unhappy.
"I'll do it." With a crisp reply, a young man with a strong figure and thick eyebrows wearing a short coat jumped into the field. When others saw that this person was none other than Captain Wang Hui, the company commander , the beloved son of the team leader, cheers resounded throughout the coaching field. Although Wang Hui was smart and had a good understanding of martial arts, after all, the training time was too short, so he was defeated. However, the soldiers still gave the father and son warm applause and cheers.
The next year, 1935, because of his outstanding military theory and command ability, Wang Hui was selected to study the armored command course at the Armored Military Academy in Berlin, Germany, and was scheduled to graduate in 1938.
