1 Original: Headline Debut:
In the era of "700 million people and 700 million soldiers", our childhood life was bitter and monotonous. After school, there are no other entertaining games and toys except for wild horses. "Chess", "Mahjong" and "Playing Cards" are all forbidden as things that are sealed, funded, and repaired. Later, I found that the children with better family conditions carried a box of "Military Chess" in their schoolbags, and in their spare time, two or three children took out "Military Chess" to play against each other, which was very interesting.
"Military Chess" is also known as: Land War Chess. Chess, which is a kind of educational entertainment that youngsters love, can awaken their love for military affairs, develop their ability to organize and command military affairs, and give full play to their ability to control chess games in a flexible and strategic way.
There are a total of 52 chess pieces in "Military Chess", 26 pieces on each side of the black and red sides. Among them, there are one military flag, one commander, and one army commander, two bombs each for division commanders, brigade commanders, regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and three bombs for company commanders, platoon commanders, mines, and engineers.
There are boundaries, railways, highways, base camps and military stations on the chessboard of "Military Chess", and any chess piece can go straight on the railway, and only one step can be taken elsewhere. Except for the sappers, any chess piece that encounters a bomb or mine will be wiped out, and the other chess pieces will eat big and small. Sappers can clear bombs and mines and retreat on their own. But any chief can eat him.
There are two ways to play "Military Chess", one is open chess, and the other is dark chess. Bright chess can be played by 2 people, and dark chess must have a referee, also called the middleman, to determine which chess pieces on both sides are big and small, the big ones are retained, and the small ones are captured.
Although "Military Chess" is good, I really can't afford it. Later, Fa Xiao and I came up with a do-it-yourself approach. The two of us ran to the stone pond pit on the mountain and dug out the red mud between the cracks of the big rocks, which was very delicate, very sticky when wet, and very hard when dry.
We took the red clay dug home, repeatedly kneaded it on the slate, and then evenly kneaded it into 52 small pieces, each small piece repeatedly smashed and pinched on the slate, and pinched it into small pieces of a cube, similar in style to "Military Chess". Then use the straw to engrave the words, the lettering can not be anxious, to carve one stroke at a time, while carving while compacting the stroke. After carving, put it in a cool place to blow cool and dry, in order to prevent drying, it can not be exposed to the sun.
After the chess pieces are air-dried for two days, the carved handwriting strokes are lightly drawn with straw sticks dipped in black ink. It's a lot like that. But here's the problem, Black's pieces are done, and we don't have red ink. Send novels: School teachers use red pen water to correct homework.
The next day I went to school, I brought my homemade "Military Chess", and I showed it to the teacher during the break, and Mr. Zheng praised my creativity, praised our craftsmanship, and praised the spirit of using our brains and making "Military Chess" by ourselves. After school, Mr. Zheng helped us to complete the depiction of the red chess pieces.
We finally had "Military Chess", I sewed a cloth bag from old cloth at home, loaded our self-made "Military Chess" with me, and had a good time killing two games when I met an opponent. The biggest advantage of our "Military Chess" is that it is more wind-resistant than the finished "Military Chess", suitable for outdoor activities, and not easy to be blown down by the wind.
I also practiced good chess skills with my self-made "Military Chess", and at the same time made a lot of friends, developed brain activity, and entertained myself.
Nowadays, there are more children's toys and more entertainment venues. "Military Chess" has withdrawn from the stage of history, and it has never been seen again.
