Chapter XVII
"If you can achieve the kind of training results you envisioned. This unit will be a trump card" "It is definitely the trump card of trump cards, if there is such a regiment under my command, I will definitely dare to fight against the Japanese army with a wing"
"It's good, but if we don't have the equipment, we can't train many of the subjects in the training syllabus?"
For several days on end, the conference room of the South Bank Mansion was brightly lit, and a group of young officers gathered around it every year to discuss loudly, and the noisy conversation reached into the sky. Chiang Kai-shek, who had a calm face, sat in the first place as if nothing had happened, only caring about drinking tea, and the louder the officers in the conference room talked, the bigger the smile on his face. This is the fourth day in a row; Zhao Zhi, who had been lingering in Geyue Mountain, was brought back by the military police he sent to give a lecture to the young officers he had specially recruited from his descendants, and the content of the lecture was the new training method in the Geyue Mountain training camp.
"The unit I trained had different training methods, different combat methods, and different combat missions from other units, because they were the prototype of special forces. Special forces, as the name suggests, are special forces, where is the special? The special thing is that the mission is special, the training is special, the combat is special, and more importantly, the fighters here are special in this unit, and they are especially capable of fighting."
"Special forces, first of all, their mission is special, they can attack at any time, over mountains, across rivers, across the sea, airborne, independent or in cooperation with other troops, can quietly infiltrate enemy-occupied areas, reconnoiter hundreds of kilometers away from the enemy, assassinate key targets, obtain valuable intelligence, or blast valuable targets, special forces are uniquely equipped, and any unit of the navy, land and air force is different, special forces are equipped with a variety of the most advanced individual equipment at the same time"
"The training of special fighters is unique, and these difficult, high-risk, and highly combat-oriented training can ensure that they can skillfully operate all kinds of light and heavy weapons, and can adapt to battles of various terrains and intensities. Moreover, the soldiers in the special forces must learn to survey the terrain and make simple topographic maps, and be able to operate transmitters to deliver messages."
"The number of people in the training camp is now equivalent to the size of a regiment, but in actual combat, it is usually a small group of troops that sneak in, usually a squad unit. In large-scale operations, it is necessary to pay attention to the deployment of positional battles, and it is necessary to have the needs of three-dimensional and all-round combat deployment, as well as the appropriate depth of the battlefield. There are artillery groups, anti-aircraft weapons, anti-tank equipment, and so on. Appropriate reserves must also be retained. It is necessary to be appropriately loose to prevent large-scale enemy air attacks, and it is necessary to maintain appropriate closeness to prevent enemy attacks"
"The combat mission of special forces determines that it cannot be used for large-scale offensive or defensive purposes. It should act like a hunter, far from home, chasing targets, secretly infiltrating enemy occupation zones to complete spying, assassination, or blasting. Therefore, a considerable proportion of the time spent by special forces in carrying out operations is spent on the march, especially when there is no air transport, and this is when the importance of battle formation is reflected."
"The battle formation strives to concentrate forces and weapons in the main direction, which is conducive to the development of firepower and timely maneuvering; It is convenient for evacuation and concealment and reduces casualties, and is conducive to command and coordination, so as to give full play to the overall power. When attacking, it can form a powerful, high-speed continuous assault capability; When defending, it can effectively resist the continuous assault of the enemy on the ground and in the air. According to the changes in the battlefield situation, the battle formation can be changed flexibly in a timely manner. Under modern conditions, the battle formation will pay more attention to overall coordination, rapid mobility, and flexibility, and will continue to add new elements, and the changes with the battle formation and marching formation will become more frequent."
Chiang Kai-shek was an eye-opener today, and there were so many kinds of battle formations that Zhao Zhi talked about on the podium. I was also a person who led soldiers during the Northern Expedition, and no one told me these things before, and when I defended, I was strictly guarded, and I couldn't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and when I attacked, I rushed up, and I got away with a group of hungry wolves in the jungle. Today is a big benefit. What is a zigzag, triangle, trapezoid, what formation is in the safety zone, and what is the formation in the open area and the weak defense area.
"Boyuan, these things you talked about today are very good, very good" Chiang Kai-shek pointed to the officers sitting in the conference room with his finger, "You all learn from Boyuan, these things that Boyuan has told you these days are not only to be memorized, but also to be able to use" Every evening, it is when Chiang Kai-shek takes a group of young officers to discuss training and tactics with Zhao Zhi. They have discussed all the training, tactics, operations, and equipment of the special forces many times, and basically everyone asked, and Zhao Zhi, who served as an instructor and explainer, answered.
"Chairman, this is some of my experience that I have compiled in my spare time, and it is about special forces equipment. If possible, I hope to get your support" Taking the opportunity to drink water, Zhao Zhi, who was full of helplessness, took out a stack of densely written manuscript paper from his military bag. In these materials, Zhao Zhi summarized the design and technical indicators of ten kinds of weapons and equipment in the world that are most suitable for the current use of special forces, including individual tactical vests, combat boots, camouflage uniforms, squad radios, and weapons (pistols, automatic rifles, sniper rifles, and squad machine guns).
"Special Operations and Special Forces" is the name given by Zhao Zhi to this material, and he wrote it based on the training he received in the mercenary training camp in his previous life and some actual combat experience. The reason why he had compiled this material was that he was familiar with it, after all, he had experienced it himself. In this book, it is clearly stated that with the change of the political landscape of the world in the future, special forces will be used more and more in war. In the book, Zhao Zhi described in detail the mission, combat methods, establishment and training of the special forces.
The book states that the task of special forces is to be a force that is responsible for destroying important political, economic, and military targets of the enemy and performing other special tasks. They are ready to go out at any time, climb mountains, cross rivers, cross seas, and parachute into airborne areas, independently or in cooperation with other troops, to quietly infiltrate enemy-occupied areas, reconnoiter enemy situations hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, assassinate key targets, obtain valuable intelligence, or blast valuable targets.
The special forces are equipped with a unique equipment that is different from any other unit of the three services, and the special forces are equipped with a variety of state-of-the-art vehicles, boats, airplanes and diving equipment, as if they were a miniature tri-service unit. Tanks, armored vehicles and airplanes are placed at the same training ground, which becomes a peculiar sight. They can truly be called "dragons on the sea, tigers on land". Trekking, diving infiltration, and parachuting in the air are their usual methods.
Special forces usually operate on a small scale, with a focus on covert infiltrations and surprise attacks, and they can escape thousands of miles after missing a single hit. Skirmishes allow them to be agile and mobile, not caring about one place or one city. Small-scale operations require a mature set of establishments and weapons. Corresponding advice is also given in the book. The book also puts forward suggestions for the training of special fighters to ensure that they can skillfully operate all kinds of light and heavy weapons at home and abroad, and drive various equipment to maneuver and fight at high speed on the ground, in the air, at sea and in the water.
