Chapter 89 Enemy Aircraft Reconnaissance
"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" A huge white water bird hovered and descended from the sky, its two claws were firmly grasped on the reed swaying in the wind. The river fish was swallowed.After eating, the waterfowl tilted its head and looked curiously at the huddled people lying on the ground.In its short memory, it was the first time it saw so many people by its nest.

"Assemble!" With the order of assembly, everyone who used the ground as their bed woke up from their sleep.I just washed my face with the river water, and the impact of the bitingly cold river water made my brain wake up immediately.

Under the guidance of the instructors, the first corps and the second corps of the 250th Whampoa students were separated, and [-] female soldiers from the second corps were incorporated into the first corps, because the number of the first corps was far smaller than that of the The second team, which also balances the number of people between the two teams.According to the words of the head of education before crossing the river last night, after crossing the river, everyone will be divided into two teams and enter Sichuan via different routes. This is also due to the consideration of not putting all eggs in one basket.

After the military academy teachers and students moved westward to Sichuan, the military instructors with rich military experience and the heads of various departments held more than ten collective meetings. Think of everything.This includes imagining various problems and solutions that may arise during the westward migration process, such as the plan for encountering enemy bombing, and even imagining how to ask for help if ambushed by the Red Party in an extremely dark situation.

It is precisely because of this situation that the principal and the chief education officer jointly wrote to the chairman of the committee and decided to divide the teachers and students of Whampoa into two, so as to avoid being caught in one pot in extreme cases.

After the detachment, the first team stood on the side of the road and shook hands with the passing second team. The second team gradually went away under the leadership of instructor Zhong. No one knew which way they would go. There was no established route. The accompanying instructors discussed and decided by the team leader.Every three days, they will use the radio to report to the above, and by the way, call for air support when they are not in the village or in the store. After all, when they set off, each person only carried three days of rations with him.

After seeing off the second team, the first team started to burn.The sky is getting brighter, and the fire is not so conspicuous. Each group of ten people, the rivers and rivers are criss-crossed, use a washbasin to scoop up clear water and put it on the fire, put some salt in it, and bite the big cake.The canned meat you bring should be sparing. After all, most of the marches are in the wilderness. The next time you can replenish shredded meat, you must go to a nearby town or call for an airdrop.

After eating and drinking enough, the First Corps meandered forward under the leadership of instructor Liu Yongyao. The head of education did not accompany him but returned to Nanjing. Teachers and students slowly entered Sichuan together.

It is not a war, so the teachers and students are already moving forward at the speed of "regular marching". Li Chong roughly estimated in his heart. According to the current speed of 5 kilometers per hour and a daily travel speed of 40 kilometers, more than 40 kilometers will be needed for 40 to [-] kilometers. God, of course, this is an ideal situation without any changes in the middle. It is impossible to walk [-] kilometers in a day if you go over mountains and mountains.

In fact, Li Chong found that it was completely different from what he had expected, walking with his head silently and following the large army.The marching team was still divided into divisions according to their respective subjects, and Li Chong was still the captain of the first division of the Infantry Division.

The reason why the military academy system is still maintained is that during the march, the instructors still teach the students according to the curriculum of the military academy, and it is based on the local terrain.For example, Wang Yangwu, the machine gun instructor of the infantry department, will teach Li Chong how to set up machine gun points according to this terrain; Li Rujiong, the instructor of the artillery department, will teach Yue Dexiang and Gao Chonghua how to raise the muzzle in this rolling hilly area to achieve it. Artillery coverage, how to calculate the trajectory to bomb the enemy behind the hills.
One more thing, among the four major arms of infantry, traffic, engineering, and artillery, the equipment of the artillery has surpassed that of the infantry. Not only do they have long guns, but at least two squads of 20 people can have a mortar, three Well-packed mortar rounds.There are five mortars and 100 mortar shells in the artillery brigade with 15 people.The mortar shells were also specially supported by Tang Mengxiao because he just intercepted the teaching group. Although there were not many, it was better than nothing.

This kind of on-the-spot teaching method makes the students more deeply impressed by this kind of on-the-spot environment than speaking in the classroom according to the textbook and speaking to the blackboard.

That night, the teachers and students of the First Corps walked 20 kilometers and arrived at Zhangjiawan, more than [-] kilometers away from Chuzhou City, to camp and rest.There is a security team stationed in Zhangjiawan. Seeing that the national army has arrived and there are so many officers with certificates, chickens, ducks and pork are quickly transported to the suburbs by horse-drawn carts. This is what the teachers and students of Huangpu got along the way before they entered the mountain. The best way to replenish.

The female soldiers who were newly incorporated into the First Corps formed a company of their own, eating and sleeping together, perhaps because they were new members, and they didn’t talk much, unlike the male students who were already familiar with each other, eating and talking around the fire .

In the city of Chuzhou tens of kilometers away, as the highest military officer in the entire Chuzhou, Zhang Nantian certainly knows the troubles in his jurisdiction, let alone a team of more than a thousand people.He also knew that these were the teachers and students of the Whampoa Military Academy, and there had been a notice telling him that a team of a thousand people would pass through the territory.This is the teacher and student of the alma mater, so the friendship of the landlord must be respected, and the next greeting will be called below.

Naturally, no one dared to disobey the order of the highest military officer in Chuzhou. Ever since Zhangjiawan's security chief was told by his subordinates that he had a team wearing regular army uniforms camping in the wilderness outside the town, he immediately thought that this was the explanation from above. It's time to entertain the good team.So the head of the security team hurriedly transported chickens, ducks and pork in a carriage to reward.

And at Chuzhou Railway Station, the Japanese spies who had been watching Chuzhou Railway Station for two days after receiving the order from Section Chief Kurihara still had nothing to gain. There was no additional movement in the whole city. Back in the basement of his residence, he used the radio to send a telegram to Shanghai that found nothing.

After receiving telegrams that Chuzhou and Ma'an were fruitless, Kawashima cooperated with Kiyoshi Hasegawa and Jiro Motozawa, and Hsinchu and the Third Fleet Air Force began to take off.The city of Nanjing, more than 30 kilometers away from the Zhangjiawan camp, was once again hit by Japanese air strikes.

It seemed to be a routine bombing of Nanjing City, but this time the pilots involved in the bombing received orders to expand the flight range, especially to conduct reconnaissance within a radius of [-] kilometers around Nanjing City.

From Kawashima and Kurihara’s point of view, the teachers and students of Whampoa can’t travel very far in one day, and they must be within tens of kilometers of Nanjing City, but if they can’t find them anymore, they will really have to let the sky fly by. up.
