Chapter 164: Marine Division
"Husband, the battleship detachment, cruiser detachment, destroyer detachment, and service ship detachment of our current navy have also been formed, and in the end, the Marine Division has not been able to complete the formation. And we're going to pick a bunch of soldiers right now, and none of us have any experience, so the marines below want you to go and give them some guidance! And, some of the Marines told us that they now feel a little understated. Because they say they are marines, but they are not at sea or land, they are more inclined to infantry. But husband, you belong to the navy, which makes the navy that drives the ship a little estranged from them, and the army is also a little estranged because they are a navy. This makes them feel as if they are not being taken seriously. Kang Tongwei said.
Kang Tongwei had just received a plan from the Marine Division, hoping that Wang Guorui would be able to guide them. When Wang Guorui saw this situation, he could only go to the Marine Corps training camp in Keelung to inspect, after all, they didn't know the mission of the Marine Division. And Wang Guorui heard that the marines didn't quite understand their own positioning, and their morale was a little low, so it seemed that they had to go there in person so that they could be appeased, and Wang Guorui also told them that the importance of the marines was also very huge.
Soon, Zheng Hongkang and Tongwei also accompanied Wang Guorui to inspect the Marine Division, and Wang Guorui was also ready to check the training of the Marine Division.
"Husband, although the current Marine Division is a division, it has less than two regiments, that is, an establishment of 5,000 men, which is at least 7,000 people compared to an ordinary infantry division. And these marines are much more rigorous than the infantry, and the weapons are the best. They are now taking off their upper body clothes. Then do push-ups in the icy sea water to train their hardiness. And according to your requirements, they will inevitably have to train to withstand heat under the sun. This kind of Cheng dΓΉ, which is almost inviolable from cold and heat, can be regarded as basic qualified. β
"As for the next, the Marine Division will also conduct marksmanship training, and each of them must reach more than 10 bullets and 90 rings, which is already something that many non-commissioned officers in the army can do. There's even a lot of training ahead for them. They all have to be the best they can be. Although they are not as powerful as Miss Tanya's special combat team, they are also much more elite than many ordinary soldiers, and this Marine Corps is simply a collection of elite troops, what are you going to do with such an elite force, husband? Zheng Hong asked.
Wang Guorui immediately said: "The Marine Corps is a very useful force, they are our sharp knife to open up overseas. And the role of the Marines is to be able to transport them by ship to the gaps in the enemy's coastal defenses, and then strike them so hard that they are simply unable to resist. It can also be transported by sea, and then carried out landing operations, and the last move is to cut off the enemy's retreat along the coast. Then encircle and attack to destroy the enemy. It can even be used as a pioneer for large-scale land forces, so that they can also charge at the front and open the way for subsequent army landings. β
"So they all have to be elite, and only elite can do that. The Marine Corps, on the other hand, is treated according to the technical branches, but it is a very good treatment. And if you want to become a marine, you must be able to train the most elite, otherwise we will not be able to become a marine. β
Of course, Wang Guorui knew the role of the Marine Corps in later generations, and the Marine Corps was one of the arms used as a strategic offensive in later generations. In some countries, the Marine Corps also belongs to a special branch of the armed forces, which directly belongs to the branches of the central military organs. Therefore, the strength of the Marine Corps is very huge. Without a strong Marine Corps, it would have been difficult for an ordinary army to break through the enemy's coastal defenses and be constantly repulsed by the enemy.
In the later wars, the marines played a great role and were able to show their strength in various landing battles. The famous Normandy landings in later generations were also landed by the Marines as the vanguard. And then before the Korean War. If North Korea attacked South Korea, and had it not been for MacArthur's landing at Inchon and cutting off North Korea's supply lines, North Korea would have been able to rule the entire Korean Peninsula. The landing at Inchon not only changed the general trend of the year. Later, it also dragged China into the water. In the end, China sacrificed a lot of volunteers, and the Korean Peninsula also started from the 38th parallel and ended at the 38th parallel.
It can be said that once the landing battle is used well, it will be a kind of battle that can change the course of history. And the Marine Corps, that is, the core of the landing war, so it is normal to attach importance to naval road battles. Wang Guorui has never saved the weapons of this marine, first of all, a Bobosha submachine gun for each person, and then let his firepower be enough to reach a very fierce peak. And this Bobosha submachine gun is the latest research by Wang Guorui to ask engineers, which is simple and reliable. Even if you fall into the water, you can continue to fight. And the original Stern submachine gun was not good, so Wang Guorui specially changed a submachine gun for the Marine Corps.
As for other weapons, each of their platoons has mortar squads, which can be said to be artillery has been deployed to the platoon level. There are also all kinds of special troops, which are also very advanced, and even in the future, they will be equipped with light radio transmitters, so that they can quickly communicate with the headquarters and accept the command of the headquarters. And all kinds of new weapons are also equipped by the marines first, so that the marines can get the maximum combat effectiveness, and they can also get a sharp knife to open the way. Although the Marine Corps is nominally a navy, in fact it is personally commanded by the Military Commission under the leadership of Wang Guorui, and Ye Zuqi, chief of staff of the Navy, has no right to directly call in command. Therefore, these are enough to show the importance of the Marine Corps, which is completely regarded as an independent branch of the army.
"Soldiers, you may not know what kind of responsibility you have on your shoulders. Your marines will be the most important knives in Taiwan, and you will be the most important trump card under my command, and you are one of the most concerned arms, so you don't have to feel inferior. Because the tasks you undertake are more important than the simple navy and army, and you will be an important means for us to expand overseas, without you, we China will not be able to open up overseas, and will only be able to stick to the homeland and not go out. So, you will be the first heroes of our territory. β
When those Marines heard Wang Guorui's words, they immediately felt as if they were also very important. After all, they were supposed to be a navy but they didn't have ships to use, and they said that they were an army but they had a navy name, which made them feel as if they couldn't pass the exam at either end. And now Wang Guorui has come out, saying that they will be the sharp knives of the country's expansion of territory, and they are also the first heroes of the opening of the territory, which makes them feel that their importance is also very huge.
Because China has made great contributions to expanding its territory since ancient times, and it is natural that they can become the first heroes to expand their territory. So now they really feel that they are valued, and they will be the first to expand the territory in the future.
"Also, you marines have a lot to do in the future! You are no less important than the navy and the army, and you will definitely become one of the branches of the army parallel to the navy and the army. β
And this made everyone even more excited, because they are now a force that does not land or sea, and their future is uncertain. And the reason why the morale of these Marines is a little low is because they are confused about the future, and whether they belong to the Navy or the Army, this makes them not very clear. And now Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan, has pointed out a path for them, that is, to become a branch of the army that is no less than the navy and the army, that is, a branch of the army that can be parallel to the army and navy in the future, which of course makes them feel that they are valued and can be self-contained.
Only by being self-contained can Ann be able to make them feel the future. After all, the Marine Corps is different from the pure Army and Navy, and the tasks they undertake are completely different, so it is not suitable for them to truly belong to the Navy or the Army. In fact, they are more important as the commander-in-chief's most important strategic reserves, and they will land from the sea wherever they are needed, so they can become one of the branches of the army directly under the commander-in-chief, and their importance is self-evident, compared with the simple navy and army, their status is not bad at all.
"Well, it's all to blame for not making it clear, making you feel like you're not being taken seriously. I'm here to make amends to you, and I sent some fresh food to suppress everyone's fear. Wang Guorui said.
"Thank you, Governor!" More than five thousand Marines shouted together.
Next, Wang Guorui was going to meet with the soldiers in the Marine Corps and then eat together. The current Marine Division does not have their supreme commander, so Wang Guorui is also directly under his military council to manage it personally. (To be continued......)
