Chapter 1099 Founding an Army
Qin Weidong and Xiang Ming repaired trains in Luanda, but Zhang Hong and Wen Tianyu trained the troops in Malanre. Wen Tianyu has been discharged from the army for many years, and Zhang Hong became a monk halfway through. Both of them were thinking about how to build an army system.
"I'm going to be the Minister of National Defense now?" Wen Tianyu received an order issued by Xiang Ming and found that he had become the founder of the armed forces of the Chinese forces in Angola. His primary task was to form a teaching force.
"First of all, set up a stellar division and train the officers first." Zhang Hong quipped as a support staff member: "You have many veterans here, and the conditions for forming an army are much better than ours. When we formed an army in Cuba, it was so shabby."
In the past, there was no food or drink, and Wen Tianyu only armed a thousand combat personnel. Now he used this thousand people to build a division headquarters and three combat regiments, nine battalions, and twenty-seven companies. In addition, there were a series of empty troops such as communication battalions, medical battalions, baggage battalions, artillery battalions, etc.
Among the equipment sent by Zhou Qingfeng, the first thing that was issued was not weapons and ammunition, but a division-level communication and command system. The command system in the 1970s seemed quite simple and rough, but even so, Wen Tianyu couldn't get enough people to use it.
"Where did I go to the consultant who knows the map work early?" Wen Tianyu only had a simple electronic map of Angola. But having a map does not mean it can be used. Many people can get lost by holding a map. It is impossible for the field to walk along the road when marching in the wild. If you get lost...
"It's not easy to be an officer." Zhang Hong had been trained for half a year and had been fighting for half a year in actual combat, but he didn't dare to say that he was already a qualified officer. "We used to fight in North America, and we relied on a large number of experienced Westerners in the team to be the backbone. You don't even have many backbones."
There are many folk survival tycoons in the United States with superb combat skills. These people can survive easily in the catastrophe. For example, the old Harris in the advance team took his children to survive in the end of the world. Although he bowed to the power in his miserable situation, it did not affect his ability to be an excellent warrior.
Among the Chinese forces in Africa, veterans are an amazing backbone, but many people have never touched the gun again after they have been discharged from the army. Faced with this situation, all Wen Tianyu can survive is to organize everyone to learn and get along. Fortunately, those who survived can endure hardships now, and no one complains.
In the command center of the armed forces built by wood, Wen Tianyu was holding a bowl of instant noodles and scented it. He even drank all the noodle soup before putting down the bowls and chopsticks. After burping, he said beautifully: "Fortunately we can eat enough now. In the past, we had to fight if we couldn't even eat enough. It was so bitter."
With Zhou Qingfeng's support, the first thing the Chinese in Angola strengthened was the combat troops. In the past, they were not full, and everyone was thin and could not even be able to march long distances. Now, the "Supreme" instant noodles are at least sufficient, and although the noodles are of poor quality, the oil and water are still enough.
After eating for a few days, Wen Tianyu's face gradually became red. In the past, his face was sallow and gloomy all day long. Now he is very imposing, at least he has more strength and he has a louder voice to shout.
This change in spirit is reflected in the entire group. People who eat a lot of food walk with a strong and proud attitude. However, eating a lot of food cannot completely solve the problem. The army cannot be formed with a group of strong men.
Wen Tianyu used to command combat squads with a population of less than fifty, and the command and management were relatively simple. This time he was asked to form a division of at least tens of thousands of people. Not to mention others, he felt that his ability was not enough.
"Don't talk too much nonsense, start by memorizing the regulations." Wen Tianyu was a low-level officer before he retired from the army. It was too difficult to be a division commander. The past military regulations were almost forgotten, and now he must memorize them again!
Not only Wen Tianyu has to memorize, but everyone's training starts with memorizing regulations. Just fire a gun and at most one soldier is trained. If you want to form a squad, a platoon, a company, or even a division or even an army, it is impossible to have no system and regulations.
Can a military be formed by buying thousands or tens of thousands of guns? This is the idea of laymen and laymen. A good army must not only have good discipline, but also have good management. Everyone needs to be clear about their responsibilities and be loyal to their duties.
After eating, Wen Tianyu organized people from the division headquarters to study. Everyone had a booklet in their pockets. In addition to eating and sleeping, they had to look at this thing when going to the pit, and they had to check it at any time.
It is really painful to learn like a cramming person. Everyone is memorizing it in a sensible way. After memorizing it, you have to understand it. After understanding it, you have to operate and inspect it on the spot. It is really not something that can be done in one or two years.
Compared to Wen Tianyu who kept learning how to command a division, Zhang Hong was glad that he had passed the time of reciting the regulations. But he was in a lot of trouble. The armored commander of the Aurora Legion brought several subordinates to train Wen Tianyu for technical backbone.
The communications battalion needs to know how to play radio stations, the artillery battalion needs to know how to measure distances, the medical battalion needs to know first aid, and wait... Nowadays, most of the high-tech weapons are paralyzed, and many things can only be done manually, and none of them is simple.
Zhang Hong could only pick out a few people with strong learning abilities to focus on training, and then train others after short-term intensive training. Sometimes he even taught ten students in the morning, and these ten students taught one hundred apprentices in the afternoon.
Among the many apprentices, Qin Ming was special. This kid was arranged to learn baggage management, and the first thing he wanted was to distribute equipment to various units of the craftsman.
"The division headquarters and battalion are 1,200 people, and there are currently only 80 backbone students. Hey..., who will sign a letter? Each person has a Type 54 pistol, a magazine, a Type 56 assault rifle, four magazines, two hundred spare bullets, and four Type 67 grenades.
Ah..., wait, the list says training grenades, but where is the training grenade?" Qin Ming, a new logistics officer, just took office, caused a lot of trouble. Many people were helplessly looking at the equipment they sent in their hands, and were speechless.
"I'm sorry, sorry, now there are tight staff. We really don't have professionals in the logistics field, so we have already tried our best." Qin Ming was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and he only regretted that he was unable to use his clones and could not use it in a single way.
It was in such a mess that the Chinese in Angola began to form their own armed forces. No one knew how to form an army, no one knew how to command battles, no one had experienced large-scale operations, everything was exploring.
However, the enemy would not prepare them for attacking again in the future. Just when Wen Tianyu and others were in trouble with various unexpected troubles, a large number of armed forces had quietly touched near their base.
Old Josie and Bablu were lying on a weed, their eyes shining like jackals with green and greedy light, drooling in the telescope, looking at the barracks in the distance.
"I finally found the base for these Chinese people."
"They have 100,000 tons of supplies, how excited it is!"
