Volume 1 Teacher Chapter 16 Military Stick
The next day, the battle changed venue and Dai Jiliang had to face his own masterpiece.
What to do? This certainly did not pose a problem for Dai, a top student from both countries.
Through Lu Jianzhang's telescope, he saw that as soon as teams of soldiers from the Third Battalion came into the enemy's firing range, they fell to the ground one by one.
"what happened?"
Lu Jianzhang was puzzled, and what puzzled him even more was that Dai Jiliang actually separated the two artillery companies and used them separately, with one gun in each group. He divided out four support gun groups and each group accompanied the infantry to the limit of Team A's range, while the other eight guns remained hidden.
"You bastard, you're quite generous."
Lu Jianzhang understood this move.
If Team A ignores it, the four advancing artillery groups can close in to provide support using direct aiming. If Team A insists on destroying these four abandoned troops, the exposed artillery positions will be subjected to ruthless and concentrated attacks by the remaining artillery of Team B.
Once Team A loses its firepower, no matter how many trenches they have, they will be useless in the face of Team B's firepower advantage.
"Commander, I counted and the Third Battalion has already deployed three companies one after another."
This means that all the elite troops of the Third Battalion have been deployed. As for the Fourth Company, which had just been issued a number, it was just an empty shell, with no one from the company commander to the privates.
"Also, I noticed that the people in the third battalion didn't just lie down. They seemed to be crawling."
Don't blame the staff officer for finding it unbelievable. In fact, apart from the Third Battalion trained by Dai Jiliang to crawl forward, there was no other unit in the world that could do this at that time.
“Climbing?”
Lu Jianzhang suddenly raised the Zeiss in his hand and fixed the focus on the slope which was still calm for the time being.
I saw rows of blue-gray military uniforms slowly moving forward.
"What are these two bastards He Oucai and Cai Naixin doing? Why haven't they reacted yet?"
Lu Jianzhang was somewhat out of control. He understood that at this distance and in this way of attack, firing artillery would not only fail to kill many opponents, but would also run the risk of exposing the artillery position. If he were faced with such a situation, he would be at a loss as to what to do.
"Commander, the fourth battalion is coming up."
Before the staff officer had finished speaking, the situation on the battlefield began to change for the first time.
The Fourth Battalion, with the size of two companies, carefully spread out in the gaps where the Third Battalion was crawling. The soldiers crouched and slowly but firmly followed the ambush troops of the Third Battalion towards the position of Team A.
At this time, Team A finally responded. The six artillery pieces did not bother to deal with the crisis of the four groups of supporting artillery and began to block the shooting.
"Order the battery to disrupt the enemy's artillery fire and try to destroy part of it."
When the enemy changes, I change, and Dai Jiliang responded immediately.
"Let those four guns speak, and don't let Team A complete its deployment successfully."
"Look, the third battalion is charging."
Once again, to everyone's surprise, when they saw that the enemy's artillery fire was either attracted by the Fourth Battalion or interfered with by the artillery of Team B, the companies of the Third Battalion jumped up at the same time and rushed through the artillery blockade at the fastest speed.
Team B, which had not yet fully entered the position, was caught off guard and soon the owner of the first trench changed.
"Our artillery will move up."
Dai Jiliang acted quickly. When he saw the breakthrough in front, he immediately threw in the rest of his reserve troops. In addition to letting the front artillery continue to interfere with the artillery of Team A, the rest of the artillery and the remaining troops of the Fourth Battalion quickly formed a second wave of attack echelon.
And Zhang Binnan, the old soldier, even took the lead in charging forward. For a moment, the morale of Team B was high, and they took over the second line of defense.
"withstand!"
He Oucai was also fighting desperately, holding a knife in one hand and a gun in the other. If this wasn't an exercise, he would have thought of mobilizing the supervision team.
"No one is allowed to retreat anymore. Anyone who dares to retreat will be punished with fifty military sticks when they return to the camp. I don't think anyone dares to retreat again."
After a round of intimidation, the team's decline was finally stopped.
"Everyone, stay put and defend. We still have one last line of defense. Team B may not be more numerous or more powerful than us. Fight me if you are a real man."
However, he forgot that the invention of artillery had ended the mode of human wave warfare. If there were not enough machine guns in the Beiyang Army, his number of people would not be enough to fill the gap.
"Captain He, the commander asked me to tell you that the two artillery companies of Team B just concentrated their fire and killed more than half of your and Captain Cai's men."
But as if things weren't bad enough, a messenger brought He the bad news that he least wanted to hear.
"By the way, you forgot to notify the artillery when you retreated just now, so now they have all withdrawn from the exercise."
"What?"
Before He Oucai could get angry, Cai Naixin grabbed the messenger's neck and lifted him up.
"What did you say? All the artillery is destroyed. How can I continue to fight? As long as Dai keeps firing, I..."
"Forget it, Brother Congshan. Don't make things difficult for the brothers below. He is just a messenger."
He Oucai hurriedly persuaded Cai Naixin to stop.
"This is the commander's personal decision. Brother Cong Yan, we lost."
He Guangfu looked solemn.
"Forget it. We lost, we lost. Fortunately, this was just an exercise. We didn't lose unfairly. I admire Captain Dai for training such a capable team. Let's do this."
He helped the messenger to his feet.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
He casually took out a dollar and stuffed it in.
"Please go back and tell the commander that I admit defeat."
"Oh!"
Cai Naixin held his head and sat down.
"I don't fucking accept it. What kind of war is Dai fighting? He asked the Third Battalion to crawl over here. Brother Guangfu, where is there such an attack method in the manual? He is just cheating."
"It doesn't matter if you play dirty or crawl over, as long as we can win the battle, we can use any means. There is no fixed situation in war."
He Oucai, who had admitted defeat, was quite open-minded. He waved his hand to signal the messenger to go and report quickly. If they continued to waste time like this, his troops might be judged to be wiped out.
"They know how to fight, so we have to accept their advice."
He patted Cai Naixin on the shoulder.
"Alright, keep the troops under control. The commander will meet us soon. Don't lose the battle and lose face..."
"Take him away and beat him with twenty military sticks first."
Looking at Dai Jiliang who was obviously in a good mood, Lu Jianzhang gave the order coldly.
"Hit me hard, hit me hard!"
"Commander, Commander, what is this?"
Upon hearing the news that Team A admitted defeat, Dai Jiliang was actually quite proud. However, he did not expect to be showered with cold water as soon as he entered Lu Jianzhang's referee department. He was immediately at a loss.
However, Lu Jianzhang had no intention of slowing down. He waved his hand, and several horsemen rushed forward, tied up Dai Jiliang, and then fell to the ground and dragged him out.
"ah!"
Dai Jiliang screamed in pain after being hit by a fiery stick. But then he was hit again. There were a total of twenty sticks, and every one of them made Dai Jiliang feel heartbroken.
"Zhixiang, you did a good job this time!"
Looking at Dai Jiliang who was carried in with flesh torn on his buttocks, Lu Jianzhang smiled rarely and said some comforting words that made Dai Jiliang angry and shocked.
"Go back and recuperate for a few days."
After saying that, Lu Jianzhang walked out first without looking back, and then he was met with a vicious look from Cai Naixin, as well as Zhang Binnan and He Oucai with a fawning look on their faces.
"Congratulations, brother Zhixiang. If you become successful in the future, don't forget to help your brothers!"
"That's right, that's right. Please take good care of me in the future, Brother Zhixiang."
After saying two sentences with exactly the same meaning, the two battalion commanders said goodbye one after another. Soon, the people from the Third Battalion who heard the news surrounded Dai Jiliang.
"Congratulations, Commander."
Everyone was talking at once, but they all meant the same thing, leaving Dai Jiliang completely confused.
"After being beaten like this, what's there to be happy about?"
Dai Jiliang frowned, the pain in his buttocks reminding him that this was not a joke.
"What kind of rule is this? Congratulating someone after beating them up, isn't that just kidding?"
"Captain, you are not from the Beiyang family, so you don't understand. According to our Beiyang rules, if you make a mistake and get beaten, it is called punishment. If you have not made a mistake and get beaten, it is a great blessing."
E Tao happily explained to Dai Jiliang that if Dai Jiliang got promoted, he would just go with the flow.
"Battalion Commander, you will be put to great use. Next time, you should be called the regiment commander."
"Yes, yes, the battalion commander will be promoted soon, brothers, you should celebrate it well."
When one person succeeds, everyone around him benefits. The entire Third Battalion looks very happy.
"Captain? Promotion? What a weird rule!"
Dai Jiliang grimaced in pain.
Damn it, if I come to power in the future, I will definitely abolish this rule that abuses people, Dai Jiliang thought secretly in his heart.
But Captain, the Guard Corps is going to be expanded. I have only been in Beiyang for a year, and I have been promoted to Captain. Isn’t it too fast?
Dai Jiliang pondered secretly, but there were still problems to be solved.
"Brother Zhi, what should I do next?"
Dai Jiliang asked without any hesitation.
"What should I do? I'll go back and recover! When I'm well, I'll go meet Mr. Lu and everything will be settled."
E Tao knew that Dai Jiliang didn't know the rules, so he explained them carefully.
"The old rule is that you have to bring plenty of money on that day. It's a gift from your superiors and a reward from your colleagues. You can't have too little money!"
"Understood!"
He also asked for a gift that could not be called a bribe, and Dai Jiliang nodded.
"Please stop watching the peep show and take me home. I'm in so much pain."
"Okay, let's send the captain home. Oh, by the way, captain, which home are we going back to?"
Chu Gan also came over to join in the fun.
"Go back to Meishi Street."
Dai Jiliang didn't dare let Li Yuan see his injury, so he asked Qi Xiu, who seemed braver, to apply medicine for him.
"Okay, Captain, go back to my aunt."
"You're courting death, Chu Gan. If you keep yelling, I'll make you a company lieutenant for the rest of your life..."
Everyone carried Dai Jiliang to Meishi Street, but Qi Xiu had taken his brother to see a doctor to find a way to quit smoking. Xier was the only one at home, so everyone felt embarrassed to stay for long and left one by one.
Only E Tao went home to get some golden wound medicine, which is Yunnan Baiyao or something like that. He originally wanted to apply it on Dai Jiliang himself, but Dai Jiliang disliked his clumsy hands and feet and drove him out. Looking at the remaining little loli, Dai Jiliang spoke to Little Red Riding Hood in the tone of the Big Bad Wolf.
"Xi'er, please apply the medicine for me, okay?"
"But, there's a lot of blood."
The little girl was a little scared.
"It's okay. Get a basin of hot water and clean it up for me."
Dai Jiliang explained.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not afraid, so don't be afraid either. Wipe all the wounds on your buttocks, then mix the medicine that Brother E gave you with water and apply it on. It will be fine."
"Can't you wait for me to come back?"
This is not the era where everything is open, and it is really embarrassing for a little girl to look at a grown man's butt.
" You don't want me to get tetanus, do you?"
Dai Jiliang was inducing.
"Be good, I'll give you a reward later."
It is not known whether the girl was tempted by Dai Jiliang or was worried that Dai Jiliang would get seriously ill, but the twelve-year-old girl still did as Dai Jiliang asked and suggested.
After doing it once, Dai Jiliang was sweating all over due to the pain, but the white medicine was really effective. At first he felt a cool sensation, then a burning sensation, and it was obvious that the medicine had taken effect.
"Come on, Xier, close your eyes, I'll give you a reward."
The Big Bad Wolf recovered and started to have some ideas. Although he couldn't eat Little Red Riding Hood now, he could still do some bad things to her.
The little girl closed her eyes innocently, and slowly followed the instructions as she approached the big bad wolf.
"ah!"
Dai Jiliang's big mouth quickly covered the little girl's mouth, and successfully pried open her teeth. His tongue slid into her small mouth. The big pervert chased the little girl's sweet tongue with all his might, guiding them to exchange saliva with each other.
"Brother-in-law, why did you bite my tongue?"
The girl murmured, but the sound could not be heard at all. The reason was no other than that Dai Jiliang was plundering her with all his might.
After a long time, Dai Jiliang finally controlled himself and let go of the little girl.
"Xi'er, isn't it beautiful? Remember, this is something you and your brother-in-law can only do in private. Don't tell your brother or sister."
Seeing the little girl nodding as if she understood, Dai Jiliang was so happy that he almost forgot about his injuries.
"Come on, Xier, let's do it again, okay?"
Of course, this was not a question. Before Xier could react, Dai Jiliang once again occupied the little girl's tempting little mouth.
