Chapter 958: Hard Training for Battle

The enemy's reconnaissance of the whereabouts of the clipper ship has appeared, and the flying tiger sergeants on the warship do not need to remain silent anymore, looking at the "breaking waves" in front of them is really riding the wind and waves, they can't help but chant and cheer together, the shouts of the people in the army are extremely neat and majestic, and there is a certain rhythm, which makes people listen to it is blood boiling. Cai Yan, a famous artist of the current generation, once went to the barracks with his husband to listen to the voice of the soldiers, and based on this, he composed a "warrior chant", which has now spread all over the world.

In such a neat cheer, the seemingly volley of the "breaking waves" is getting closer and closer to the enemy ship, when it is about to catch up, the soldiers on the other boat can not care about the cold of the river in early spring, all jump into the river and disappear, the speed is definitely not the opponent of the Flying Tiger Army Clipper, then come to compare the water, can be used as a reconnaissance soldier, all kinds of skills on the water are proficient, the strong of the Flying Tiger Army can hold their breath in the sea and dive for hundreds of zhang before showing their heads to breathe, and the speed is still extremely fast! When Liu Yi and Gan Ning went to the border Yulan Town to ask Wang Xinran, Xingba showed an almost miraculous hand, which amazed everyone present.

Of course, this action of the enemy army had long been expected by Gou Chang and others, and almost at the same time as the enemy entered the water, two people flew into the water on each "wave-breaking" boat, and there was no trace of them, and the remaining one continued to operate the boat. And after the two people are missing, although the speed of "breaking the waves" is reduced, it is not slow compared to the speed of the enemy clipper, this kind of clipper with the top technology of the Yan army is enough to drive it.

Generally speaking, the navy is always associated with skilled water, even in the era of high technology in later generations, the requirements of the officers and soldiers of the water in the cold weapon war are more strict, in addition to the duel of the warship, sending their own soldiers to dive to destroy the opponent's warship is also a major tactic, because at this time the navy still lacks long-distance lethal weapons, even if the "Aolong" ship is equipped with a special Xiangyang cannon for water warfare, its stone projectiles can threaten the opponent's ship, But if you want to do damage to the soldiers scattered in the water, you can't do anything, unlike all kinds of ** in later generations, ** can form a tight blockade net!

Therefore, once the other side adopts such a tactic, the other side's response is-for-tat, and whoever is more skilled in water will have the upper hand in the battle between hidden and underwater. And if the opposing soldiers successfully sneak into the bottom of their ship, they will have a variety of techniques to penetrate the deck at the bottom of the ship, which is extremely effective for ordinary tactics such as walking or ship. Even if a huge warship like a dragon and a sea dragon is attacked, it will also be in danger of sinking. As for the defense of the Yan Army's "Aolong" ship in this regard, a device similar to the airtight warehouse of later generations was added to the bottom of the ship, and a whole piece of iron plate was sandwiched between the deck, and such an iron plate can only be forged in Youzhou now.

Speaking of this, there is an interesting thing, Liu Yi is very interested in physics in the study era, the idea of this airtight cabin is also in a meeting between him and the equipment in a certain meeting put forward the concept, at that time, the planning of the "Aolong" ship has been carried out to the final stage, Liu Yi, who is busy with military and political affairs, only then did he reflect that this design should be used on the new warship, and is ready to draw the drawings and then send them to the equipment to be handed over to everyone for reference, but after he worked hard all night and achieved results, the second morning "Aolong" The final draft of the ship has already reached his case, and the drawings in it coincide with his ideas, and more importantly, the meticulousness and rigor of the drawings far exceed his work, and it would be quite a shame to really send his own efforts over.

The "Proud Dragon" ship is the core of the Flying Tiger Army's warship formation, and it is used as a flagship. Such an innovation Liu Yi is focusing on the future, the real sea storm no ship can contend with, but this does not become a reason not to strengthen the safety design, the current water battle is only the first task of the "Aolong" ship, the possible voyage in the future is the key.

As a strategic branch of the Yan Army, the Flying Tiger Sergeant is extremely skilled in the water nature, and the nine people who just operated the "breaking waves" are the best among them, especially Gou Chang, this person was only under Gan Ning when he talked about the water nature in Jianghai Village, and the gap is still very small, in order to train the water army more effectively, most of the water characteristics of the Flying Tiger soldiers are trained in the sea, whether the turbulence of the water flow or the degree of wind and waves are better than those on the river! In this, Gan Ning and Gou Chang are well-deserved first and second instructors, so seeing Gou Chang make a move, although this battle is difficult to witness underwater, all the Flying Tiger sergeants believe that he will definitely be able to capture the other party's spies, not to mention that the water nature of the other five people is also first-class.

Liu Yi came to this world until this time is only galloping in the north, he has seen the violence of the Yellow River, but it is ashamed to say that the river he is most familiar with in later generations has never been witnessed, only through Gan Ning's description can we know that the Yangtze River at this time is wider, and the river is not as turbid as in later generations! If you open your eyes and see at least a few feet away from the sunlight, you can see farther away from those who have been begging for a living on the river for many years! However, for Gou Chang, as soon as he enters the water, his eyes become an aid, and he can rely on his own feeling of the water to find the opponent who is close to him!

When the spies on the enemy's clippers had to abandon the ship and leave, the "breaking waves" were about to catch up with their sterns, coupled with the kind of keen prediction of the enemy's movements, the timing of the two sides entering the water was not as accurate, it was about two zhang away, and within such a distance, Gou Chang had enough confidence to catch up with the enemy's spies! The fact was that as soon as Fang entered the water, he was already able to determine the location of the person closest to him.

Master, this is the first impression in Gou Chang's heart, this person's water nature is far better than the average Flying Tiger Army's soldiers, even in his own army, he can be stable within a hundred, his stroke frequency is extremely fast and swinging is very small, and the familiarity of the water flow and the use of the exquisite also have a deep skill, if the six people who jumped into the river on the other party's boat have such skills, they and Yang and Yan should not miss, but the remaining three soldiers may not be able to win steadily, they will never be under the other party in terms of water nature, But don't forget that the enemy army is fighting at home, and they have a natural advantage in grasping and using the flow of the river, and in the underwater pursuit, once the opponent pulls away and then wants to catch up, it will be difficult.

Catching up with the opponent who was swimming rapidly in front of him, Gou Chang took a distance of nearly fifty zhang to do it, and it was Gan Ning who came to estimate that it was such a level, and it must be known that the measurement of water is also multifaceted, and speed is Gou Chang's strength, which also shows how accurate his judgment is, and the opponent's strength is extremely deep! At this time, his eyes could already see the swiftly swimming figure in front of him, and under the force of the muscles of his whole body, he suddenly accelerated and rushed forward a few feet, and the water-splitting Emei in his hand pierced the opponent's swinging legs!

Those who have a little swimming experience know that the resistance in the water is by no means as flexible as on land, and the more force you use, the stronger the rebound against the current resistance, and many movements that seem easy on land will be extremely difficult in the water! Not to mention the fact that he has to fight underwater, where not only does it have resistance, but it also has heavy water pressure, so he can easily deform your movements and not be on the same day as on land when taking points! In this regard, Gan Ning summed up four words in the exercise: "Follow the trend and use strength"! It sounds a bit like the truth of Tai Chi, but it is also the way of water!

The so-called homeopathic nature is the trend of the water, whether in the sea or in the river the flow can not be static, you want to go against the other with your own strength will only increase your burden, only along the direction of the flow of water to ensure the flexibility of the action, really to the last resort must go against the water and also remember to force short and fast, which puts forward high requirements for the instantaneous explosive force! And borrowing force is not to borrow the power of the other party, the main thing is the power of the water flow, that is, in the opposite direction, as long as the angle and timing of the force are controlled exquisitely, you can also be smart and free! And for that to happen, you have to be in constant contact with the current to get that feeling.

Yandi is located in the north, since ancient times, there is a saying that the south ship and the north horse, among the Flying Tiger soldiers there are many recruits who do not know water, they are often afraid of water, especially sea water! This is a huge test for Xingba, his first step is to eliminate the fear of the soldiers, training is different from ordinary drills, for the Flying Tiger Army to form combat strength in the shortest possible time must use extraordinary methods, for those new soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, the first three months are often the most unbearable, half of the time every day to soak in water.

When Fangshan, the training center of the Flying Tiger Army was near the sea, Liu Yi also specially ordered Tian Yu to mobilize migrant workers to lead seawater into the inland to build more than a dozen ponds with a radius of 30 zhang, the seawater in the pond should be at least one zhang high, to ensure that it can not pass the head of every soldier, and the recruits must learn to tread water and adjust the method of breathing in the water, generally speaking, this time is about one month, and every day six hours except for morning and lunch two meals must be spent in the water. At this time, the medical battalion also played a strong logistics support function, and would treat all kinds of common symptoms for the soldiers in a timely manner!

Sunbathing on the beach and then taking a dip in the sea is a relaxing and relaxing way for future generations, but imagine that there are twelve hours a day to make you so comfortable for a month in a row, it is just a torture! Relying on the will and strong physique of the soldiers and the perfect logistics support of the Yan army, most of the soldiers can pass such a test, and those who are eliminated will go to serve in various army battalions, after all, the navy is not something that everyone can do. And for the passing soldiers, this is not the end, but the beginning of a more painful one!

The Flying Tigers will pull them to the sea in warships, and in a circle of more than a dozen ships, all the recruits will be driven into the sea, and many more will be kicked into the sea, where they will have to endure the same experience as the previous month! But the mental pressure brought to the recruits here is much better than in the pond on the shore, where the water is still and the depth is limited to two people at most, and the last seven or eight days after a certain amount of water nature the recruits still enjoy themselves. But this sea is vast and infinite at a glance, and I don't know how deep it is, that kind of psychological fear can never be said of the same day, and in Gan Ning's heart, what he wants is this kind of huge pressure! Although pressure can make people collapse, it can also allow them to break through their limits and grow rapidly, of course, there is no lack of danger, but this is training! King Yan even put all the authority in the hands of Xingba.

The protective measures for training the Flying Tiger Army at sea are of course more comprehensive than on land, there are many veterans on the warship who pay attention to the situation of the recruits in the sea at any time, and they will support them once there is danger, but in many cases they will make judgments based on their own experience, and the soldiers who are in danger cannot be rescued ashore without suffering a little, and after receiving a certain amount of treatment from the medical camp, as long as the doctor nods, they will be mercilessly thrown into the sea by those veterans, and there are many accidents in the process. There will also be cases of soldiers drowning, after all, the human eye is not as thorough as electronic equipment! However, in addition to the Flying Tiger Army, the Yan Army is not without casualties in weekday drills, and the soldiers must be prepared for such preparations, and Gan Ning's determination is not shaken, which should be expected!

After the recruits have completed such exercises, generally speaking, they already have a good water nature, and after that, they will also be subjected to a variety of water operations, ship operations and landing operations drills, do everything possible to hone themselves stronger, Gan Ning and his generals are also in the continuous drills to summarize the effective experience for the next batch of recruits to exercise, to Xuzhou when the casualty rate has been controlled to the minimum, and it is with such hard training, coupled with the benefits of the Flying Tiger Army warship equipment, there is today's strong army on the water!
