Chapter Ninety-Six: Special Training

It turned out that Yang Zhen was a superfluous person who thought that it was too much for him to rest and train at night, but after a sleepless night and being tossed countless times, he was honest. At the beginning, there was no dissatisfaction with Yang Zhen's choice of the night rest that seemed to them to be just sleeping as the training target.

Looking at the cadres and soldiers who looked a little listless because of a sleepless night, they personally went into battle to play the attacker, although it was the same sleepless night, but Yang Zhen, who was still very energetic, smiled slightly, but said sternly: "How is it?" Do you know where your shortcomings are? This is just training, and if it's a real fight, at least one of you in each squad will have their tongues scratched by the enemy. It is even possible that because of the enemy's sneak attack, the entire squad will be wiped out. ”

"This time, your mission is to find out the Japanese puppet spies or small groups of troops who have entered the mountains and forests, and direct their eyes to the mountains in the south, and cover the position of the main force. This task may seem simple, but it is extremely difficult to operate. ”

"You have to deliberately expose your goals, but you also have to cover yourself. Do your job well, but also save yourselves. Moreover, looking for scattered, even extremely scattered, Japanese pseudo-reconnaissance personnel in this reckless primeval forest is tantamount to finding a needle. Can this task be said to be simple? If it can be done by one person, why should I dedicate two days to this kind of training to you? ”

"Do you think that in every squad you have formed now, there is a warrior from the Orion family who can sit back and relax in the mountains and forests? I can tell you that this is the most ridiculous. ”

"Admittedly, you can also see this operation as a special hunt. But I can tell you plainly, there is a difference between beating four-legged animals and hitting two-legged animals. ”

"When you shoot, four-legged animals, will they draw their guns and shoot back? If they get away with one or two, will they get a big group of backups to retaliate against you? I told you before that the devil is not so stupid, and will send a few or dozens of spies into the mountains to find us alone, without sending any backup. What will happen to you once you encounter a small force sent by the Japanese puppet army? First of all, according to the way you rested last night, you may not even know how to die. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen pointed to a few squad leaders who had been appointed as squad leaders and said, "How did you arrange the sentries as the squad leaders?" There are six people in the whole detachment, why is there only one sentry? Even when we're not fighting, the sentries change every two hours. You'd be fine, and a sentry was arranged overnight. ”

"A whole night, a single sentinel can hold out? Don't doze off? Moreover, a sentry sleepless all night, how can he march the next day? How to deal with emergencies with the entire detachment? Why not put the whole detachment in order to be on duty and replace it every hour? ”

"You are a squad leader who feels sorry for the soldiers, and you are afraid that there will be few people, and the change of duty will make the soldiers not get enough rest, which will affect the next day's action. And take a sentinel to top the overnight approach. What line is this? ”

"Of the ten sentinels of the detachment, six fell asleep in the second half of the night while on duty. The two went to relieve their hands three times in the second half of the night. That is to say, on average, these two sentries left their posts three times in the second half of the night alone. The remaining two are also listless, and there is not much difference at all. ”

"Also, in this deep mountain and old forest, you know that it is very likely to encounter your target, and even encounter the attack of wild beasts, why don't you set some traps when camping? The Orion-born warriors I have assigned to each of your detachments are not specifically designed to orient you and solve the problem of eating meat. And don't tell me, the beasts in this Guangcai Ridge are all docile rabbits and pheasants, and there are no tigers, leopards and jackals. ”

"They don't know how to set up traps with grenades yet, but they can set traps or traps to deal with beasts. The traps and traps they set up can even be trapped by wild boars, so can't they trap a person? ”

"I struck each of your squads an average of three times last night, but how did you deal with it? Every time you are attacked, as long as you find that you have lost nothing, you can just add a sentry as a secret outpost, and you are not even willing to change the location of the camp. ”

What's more, the whole detachment did not rest, and in order to avoid being attacked, they sat there with dry eyes. If you don't rest, will the soldiers march the next day? There are not only Japanese puppet spies in this Guangcai Ridge, but also all kinds of birds and beasts. If it's a false alarm, then you should sit like this until dawn? ”

"In addition, several of your camps can't even match the third-rate vision. Most of the campsites you choose are on open terrain. You are a small detachment, not a large army, what are you doing at night to rest and find such a big open field? Afraid that people won't find you? ”

"Two detachments chose bushes or woods as campsites. But this kind of place can hide you, and it can also hide the opponent's sneak attack. Why not be prepared for a sneak attack? When you rest, you still put up your weapons like you were in a secret camp? ”

"What is the most important thing about being a squad activity? Hide yourself. But after the first sneak attack, except for one detachment that quickly extinguished the bonfire, what did the rest of the detachments do? ”

"When you encounter a sneak attack, your first thought is not to extinguish the campfire and hide yourself. Instead, they just ran around and rummaged around. I'm afraid that others won't see you. Since people have attacked you, how can they let you find it lightly? ”

"This mission does require you to deliberately expose your whereabouts at times to lure the enemy into deception. But let you deliberately expose your whereabouts, not let you go to the door to give meat to others to eat. I alone disturbed you sleepless night, what would happen if you encountered a small army of the Japanese puppet army? ”

Yang Zhen's words were blushing and red-eared about the former squad leaders who had already been designated as the leaders of each detachment. They didn't think about how much more they could talk about in just one night's rest.

Looking at the red-faced troops below who were trained by Yang Zhen, Guo Bingxun shook his head, looked at his watch and said, "Let's go back and rest for four hours first, and replenish our bodies." After four hours, the training continues. ”

After everyone dispersed to rest, Guo Bingxun said: "Commander, you are a little anxious. In several battles, due to the lack of troops, we always held together as a group, and rarely moved alone. Even if the troops are divided within the territory of the Fifth Standing Committee, the straight-line distance between the various units and the main force is only a few dozen miles, or even a dozen miles, and they have never left the main force too far. ”

"Even decentralized activities are at least based on the formation of companies. It was the first time for them and for us to act alone in small detachments like this. There is also a lack of similar training, and it is normal to have no experience. ”

"From the formation of the unit to today, the total training time added up is less than two and a half months. And many of the troops were recruited after we went to war. It is a soldier who can be called a veteran, except for those who rushed out of the concentration camp with us from the devil, the military age is less than four months at most, and the training is also strict and insufficient. ”

"Didn't you just withdraw to take a few months off to recuperate? Don't be in a hurry. The meal still has to be eaten in one bite, the road still has to be walked step by step, and we can't eat into a fat person in one breath. ”

"Besides, those squad leaders were just squad leaders before. There is no experience in independently commanding operations, or even in independent activities. Let them master so many things at once, Commander, you are a bit of a strong man. ”

Regarding Guo Bingxun's persuasion, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "I'm not impatient, I'm just taking the way of training instead of training." Two days is too short, and it will definitely be too late to train them to master too many skills. This is the only way to impress them, and try to prevent them from making similar mistakes again during their field work. ”

"Lao Guo, they still have a long way to go. I also do this to keep them alive as much as possible. We don't know how many Japanese puppet spies have entered the mountains, and we don't know if the little devils will send small forces to cooperate with these spies. It would be better for them to learn more lessons. ”

"For them, our plan is to use them as bait. If you don't get it, they will not only catch a fish with this bait, but also a big shark. We don't know if we will be so patient with us? I wonder if they will mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress after discovering the target? Although the mountainous area north of Dunhua is vast and the mountains are high and densely forested, what if the devils don't have the patience to go down with us and mobilize heavy troops to sweep like a dragnet? You must know that the devils have mobilized enough troops to pass through the sieves in the northern part of Dunhua and the southern part of Ning'an. Not counting hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army, the puppet Manchu military police alone are enough. ”

"Two days is not a lot for an army. But for now, if you can let them learn a little more, they can master more ways to survive. Therefore, what should be said must be said, and it must be said more seriously. We sent them to lure the enemy, but we didn't let them send them to the door to be eaten by others. Again, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun shook his head, but he didn't say anything more. Yang Zhen also understood that it was not only the soldiers who formed these squads who lacked training, but also the situation of the entire unit was not optimistic. It can be said that the training process is far from meeting the basic tactical requirements.

Guo Bingxun, who had fought hard face-to-face with the regular Japanese troops, knew that the reason why he had won several battles was not because of how strong the combat effectiveness of the troops was, but because the tactical means adopted by Yang Zhen were very ingenious. If you fight a hard-fought frontal battle with the Japanese puppet army, it is difficult to say how long your troops will be able to hold out, let alone win.

Otherwise, Guo Bingxun, who could roughly figure out Yang Zhen's personality, knew that he would not be willing to take out these more than sixty combat backbones to take risks, and lead the Japanese puppet army who might find their tracks in other directions. You must know that taking this risk with the backbone of the army, which is now very lacking, requires a lot of courage in itself.

If the training on the night before made these warriors, who were almost indistinguishable from rookies in some aspects, know that they are active in the mountains and forests, even after they have to open one eye when they sleep. In the afternoon and the next day's training, Yang Zhen let them know what is the most basic combat method in jungle warfare.

It can only be said that it is the most basic thing. Yang Zhen knew that he didn't have much time left, so the things he taught were the most basic subjects that he needed to master as a general scout in his later life. As for the things he learned in the special forces, except for one or two things that seemed simple to him, he didn't take them out at all.

These things include basic tactical arrangements, how various weapons are used in jungle warfare. How to use the means that a qiΔ“ can use to discern the direction in the jungle. Even the most basic tactical formations in the jungle.

However, although these things taught by Yang Zhen were only the most basic things that scouts needed to master in the jungle reconnaissance in later generations, for these soldiers, these things were still far from what they knew. Not to mention those ordinary warriors, even the only two warriors in the army who have grown up in this mountain for almost their entire lives, and who live with their ancestors by hunting all day long, also feel incredible.

It was the first time they had heard that a watch could also distinguish directions, the first time they had heard that there were so many rules for moving in the mountains and forests, the first time they had heard that there were so many requirements for shooting in the mountains and forests, and the first time they had heard that traps could also do so. Even Huang Dali, who has rich experience in reconnaissance and can be called an expert in this unit, has heard for the first time that there are so many means of reconnaissance.

Looking at the subordinates who were almost overwhelmed by the most basic theories he had learned in later generations, and even a little dazed, Yang Zhen shook his head. Yang Zhen knew that although he tried his best to teach in the vernacular, based on the low level of education of most soldiers, I am afraid that although they listened to many things, they were like ducks listening to thunder, whether they understood it or not, at least in a short period of time.

After sighing secretly, Yang Zhen raised his head and said to the soldiers around him, "I know that you may not be able to fully understand these things for a while. However, whether you understand it or not, you just have to do what I say. ”

Although some of the most basic tactics of jungle warfare will be difficult for these fighters to master for a while due to time constraints, they have finally memorized whether they are swallowing dates or cramming. What made Yang Zhen's head big the most was some of the most basic sign language he taught, which is the best means of communication between teammates in jungle warfare, but many soldiers can't remember it.

These sign languages are some of the most basic sign languages after Yang Zhen has repeatedly streamlined. Professor Yang Zhen's sign language only includes the most basic number of people, weapons, and other communication gestures between these fighters in the most likely situations when they are active. As for other complex gestures, Yang Zhen didn't take them out at all. But I didn't expect that most of the fighters still had a hard time learning.

In order to let these soldiers survive in future battles, Yang Zhen tried his best to select some of the most basic knowledge he had learned in the later generations of troops to pass on to everyone. But two days passed, and most of them, except for some subjects, had limited results.

Yang Zhen also knew that the time was too short, too hasty, and the general cultural experience of the soldiers was too low, most of them only learned a few words in the cultural class after joining the army, and they had a poor understanding of some things. Most of the fighters he taught didn't understand, but he didn't get angry.

In desperation, Yang Zhen could only focus on some things that ordinary soldiers could not understand or accept in a short period of time, and handed them over to a few detachment leaders. Let them be in the action, slowly hand over to the warriors.

Fortunately, those squad leaders have all served as squad leaders, and although their experience is also immature, most of the time they joined the army is at least early in this unit. They also knew that these things that the commander had taught them could even save their lives and the lives of all the members of the squad when necessary, so although Cheng DΓΉ, who understood it, was not much better than the soldiers, he still studied very hard.

Although Yang Zhen wanted to leave these fighters to train for a while longer, after all, he was not forgiving. Under the circumstance that the secret camp could be exposed at any time, after two days, no matter how reluctant Yang Zhen was, he could only send the team out according to the plan.
