Chapter 234 Its not easy to be an officer in the special operations brigade
In fact, field troops also engage in training.
There are big pulls and small pulls.
The front-line field troops have a briefing every month.
Generally, the distance is not too far, about tens of kilometers, and the entire journey is done on foot. The time is controlled within two days. Some special units will do it for a week.
This is to train the physical fitness of the troops. Although we have entered the new century, the infantry has become mechanized at best. The light infantry like those in the air assault brigade can already fly around in helicopters and engage in leapfrogging combat mode.
But one thing is that the tradition of PLA cannot be lost.
The 25,000-mile Long March is engraved in the soul of this army.
It is said that nowadays we are people-oriented, but any high technology is just an extension of human wisdom, an extension rather than an attachment. When you learn to use infrared and lasers, you forget your own eyes, and when you sit in tanks and helicopters, you forget about the world's most reliable
It's one's own legs. This is also a misguided training model.
Moreover, many military powers in the world have taken this detour. As a result, their ace troops are often unable to defeat the guerrillas who only have an AK47 and a few wild fruits.
Large-scale training is different. Generally, the entire brigade is dispatched, marches mechanized, travels thousands of kilometers, and then finds a place to station for training.
This is to train the performance of the entire army in a full set of military operations from gathering to pulling up to supporting and fighting.
For Luo Ruo, Li Haiou, Sun Anming and others, it is no problem for them to deal with ordinary Xiaola.
However, it seems a little inadequate to face the intensity of the devil's weekly training set by Zhuang Yan.
As a brigade commander, it was impossible for Zhuang Yan to give orders and force Luo Ruo and others to participate in such high-intensity training according to his own requirements.
That's not conducive to unity.
But it's not okay to just let it go.
That's not a dignified way to behave either.
Han Xiaobei is the roundworm in Zhuang Yan's belly and knows what his old squad leader is thinking.
There was no need to explain or ask for instructions, he just put Luo Ruo and others on the fire to roast them.
What is the best way to get officers of the same rank as you to participate in training willingly?
Of course it just drags people down.
If you want to drag others into the water, you must first get into the water yourself.
Look!
My brigade commander is already in the water, why do you, the political commissar, have the nerve to stand on the shore and watch every day?
As a result, Luo Ruo, commander of the special operations brigade, was helpless.
He neither wanted to lose face nor make a fool of himself.
Fortunately, Zhuang Yan did not let them go with the soldiers, but moved forward with the team from the brigade headquarters.
Anyway, the brigade headquarters does not participate in Devil Week and does not need to participate in the selection of the special reconnaissance battalion commando team. All they want is to complete the established route. Completion is a good start.
For soldiers like Li Zheng who are already in the special reconnaissance camp, yesterday was the beginning, and today has entered the main stage.
The 60 kilometers on the first day was not particularly difficult for everyone, but the second day was completely different.
In the past 24 hours, the soldiers participating in this devil's week had only four hours of sleep - Wow!
The first company saw overtime, the second company saw overtime, and the third company saw overtime, so they also added time.
Sometimes the intensity of training is like a contagious disease.
They are both in the same camp and participating in a military training operation.
If you can do it, of course I can do it too.
If it doesn't work, you have to create conditions.
During the march that day, Li happened to doze off several times.
Li Zheng once heard that people can fall asleep while walking.
At that time, he thought it was ridiculous.
People are not horses.
A horse can sleep standing upright, how can a human do it?
The facts soon told him that he could do it!
Really sleepy.
Li Zheng felt as if his double eyelids had been smeared with glue or hung with lead pendants. He opened them with difficulty for a while, then closed them again unconsciously.
When it opened again, hey! I found that I had actually walked a few hundred meters away.
As for how you left just now?
have no idea.
Because he fell asleep.
Platoon leader Tong Zhi didn't look tired at all.
He ran back and forth beside the team, and when he saw someone falling asleep, he would go up and slap him on the head to wake him up.
"Wake up! We have to take a mountain road later, don't fall into the ravine!"
"Where's the cooling oil I asked you to bring? Apply it on your temples and your eyelids. It's irritating, but it works!"
At this time, Li Zheng finally knew that before departure, Tong Zhi asked everyone to buy a small bottle of that cooling oil. He thought it was to prevent mosquitoes, but now he found out that it was not mosquito protection at all. Mosquitoes did not need to be protected at all, because they did not feel the bite.
This thing is used to prevent drowsiness.
In the first thirty kilometers of the next morning, Li Zheng walked over half asleep and half awake in the lake.
Fatty Wei and the others were not much better than him. Li Zheng saw Fatty Wei drooling while he was sleeping, and couldn't help but feel sad.
It's really sad.
Who is not a treasure?
But look now...
His body was covered in mud, sweaty and dirty, his eyes were dull and dull, and he was carrying a huge backpack with his own gun on it. He looked a bit worse than a homeless man.
However, no matter how tired everyone was, they felt energetic again when it was time to run the last 10 kilometers at noon.
Li Zheng didn't know why he suddenly became energetic.
When the supervisor wearing a red armband on the roadside waved the small red flag in his hand and announced the start of the 10-kilometer run, all the sleepy soldiers suddenly became energetic and ran forward as if they were risking their lives.
"Li Zheng, let's run faster!"
Fatty Wei wiped away the saliva that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, feeling as if he had been given a shot of blood.
"If you run too slowly, you won't get anything to eat!"
eat.
Well, that's the key.
No matter how tired you are, when you are really hungry, when you hear the word "food", you will be refreshed and you will use all your remaining energy to fill your stomach.
Fatty Wei and Li Zheng were both good at long-distance running. They quickly passed one after another and ran at the front of the company.
While running, Li Zheng suddenly remembered something and turned around suddenly——
"Where are Ma Teng and the others!?"
He only saw Zhang Jian a few meters behind him, and the brothers in other platoons were missing.
Normally everyone supports each other and runs together, but just now my mind was in a state of confusion. I just wanted to get to the meeting point early to grab food, and I forgot about the other good brothers in the platoon.
As soon as his pace slowed down, a belt was pulled directly on his backpack.
"Stop for what?!"
At first glance, it was the fierce-looking Tong Zhi.
"I……"
Li Zhenggang wanted to defend himself, but Tong Zhi's belt hit his backpack again, making a snapping sound.
"This is a selection! Individuals are assessed, collective results are not calculated!"
Tong Zhi reminded Li Zheng that it was a stupid thing for him to stop.
In just ten seconds, many people had already surpassed Li Zheng and got ahead.
Once the ten-kilometer run slows down, it will be very difficult to catch up, or at least it will consume more energy.
Tong Zhi knew this very well and he didn't want this soldier to be eliminated.
The number of places in the commando team is very small. The purpose of this devil's week is to eliminate at least half of the people in the first company, adjust them to other companies, transfer the outstanding soldiers from other companies to the first company, and gather all the elites to form the "Menghu"
