Joint training with the First Battalion soon began.
I believe the soldiers also saw something from the dark-faced and somewhat malnourished soldiers of the first battalion... Although the words of the soldiers of the first battalion were indeed very polite and enthusiastic, their expressions and eyes would occasionally reveal
Some disdain.
That's okay, you have to remember that we are a combined battalion. This unit can be said to have gone sideways almost as soon as it was established. No matter where it goes, it attracts the attention of the public. Today, this person is still looked down upon.
So the soldiers had all their energy and wanted to give the soldiers of the first battalion a show of strength and let them see the capabilities of our combined battalion.
But what the soldiers and I didn’t expect was that the reality was exactly the opposite...
"Let's run three thousand meters first!" Chen Xin said.
"Three thousand meters?" Scar looked at the light armor of the soldiers in disbelief.
You must know that the combined battalion is usually fully equipped for a five-kilometer cross-country trip, but now it is lightly equipped for a three-kilometer run, and it is still running on the track at the training ground.
"Battle Commander Chen!" Scar raised his head to the soldiers and said, "Don't be polite to them. It's already been a day of rest, they can handle it!"
Obviously, Scar thought that Battalion Commander Chen was considerate of the fact that the soldiers had just returned from the Beijing base and were tired from the journey.
Chen Xin smiled nonchalantly and said, "Let's run and see first. If it's not enough, we'll add more later!"
So the soldiers quickly took steps. What was surprising was that not long after running, the soldiers seemed a little out of breath. Then they quickly distanced themselves from the soldiers of the first battalion and fell behind.
A big chunk.
"Speed up!" Scar ordered with an extremely ugly face.
In fact, there was no need for Scar to give an order. When had the soldiers of the combined battalion experienced such humiliation? They immediately gritted their teeth and pursued with all their might.
But something happened after a while. We saw one soldier fall down with a "pop". At first we thought he just fell, but after a long time we didn't see him get up and we knew that things were not as imagined.
Simple... the soldiers of the combined battalion will not flinch even if they face the enemy's gunfire on the battlefield. Now they will naturally not find excuses to stay on the ground.
I ran forward and took a look, and found that I had passed out and was unconscious on the ground.
Then there were a few more "plop-plop-plop" sounds, and several more fell down.
Obviously, this situation was completely beyond Chen Xin's expectation... This did not mean that he had any doubts about the quality of the synthetic battalion. On the contrary, he was amazed that the bones of the soldiers in the synthetic battalion were too hard.
Chen Xin's original thought was that soldiers would naturally slow down or stop to rest when they couldn't stand it anymore. Who knew that all of these soldiers in the combined camp would persist until they fainted and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the soldiers still had no intention of stopping, Chen Xin quickly gave the order for the soldiers to stop. By this time, five people in the combined camp had already fainted on the ground. Fortunately, Chen Xin was already prepared for this.
Medical staff quickly rushed forward to rescue these soldiers.
"How could this happen?" I was also very surprised by this result.
"Insufficient oxygen!" Staff Officer Li explained: "Here, even if you don't bring anything, it is equivalent to carrying 20 kilograms of weight on the plains when walking. But don't worry too much, this requires an adaptation process, and it will improve after a while.
!”
"Oh!" I couldn't help but frown.
Although I knew that the oxygen on the plateau was thin before, I took it for granted that it was just because of poor physical condition. Our soldiers in the synthetic battalion were all skilled in steel, so naturally they would not be affected or be less affected. Now it seems
This is not the case.
But it’s normal to think about it. You have to know that the oxygen concentration on the plateau is sometimes less than half of that on the plain. In other words, it’s almost like performing various activities at half the breathing rate on the plain. It also means that the strange warriors will not run very far.
Someone passed out and fell to the ground.
"This is a brand new battlefield!" I couldn't help but sigh.
"Actually, your performance is already very good!" Staff Officer Li said: "When we first came here, few people could run more than two thousand meters. Now most of you have run more than two thousand meters, and if not
The first battalion commander doesn't stop even after giving orders... This is enough to show the quality of the combined battalion."
I believe that Staff Officer Li's words were not polite words of comfort, because I knew the quality of the combined camp, but I still shook my head: "This is not enough!"
Because I know very well that the battlefield is a place where the winner is the winner and the enemy is the loser, and the enemy will not give us any chance to give reasons.
Originally, I thought that being at high altitude was just a matter of physical training, but as the training progressed I quickly discovered that this was not the case.
First of all, the target shooting is inaccurate, even for the soldiers of the sniper company, and they may even miss the target.
From Staff Officer Li, I know that this is because the air density is different. Because the air is thin, bullets flying on the plateau will experience less air resistance compared to the plains, which means that the bullets can fly farther.
The long-range trajectory is flatter.
As the saying goes, the difference is only a millimeter or a thousand miles. The soldiers of the synthetic battalion have become accustomed to the air density on the plains. It can even be said that they have formed a conditioned reflex, which means they can naturally estimate the offset. But once they arrive on the plateau, this
The offset needs to be readjusted.
The situation of the cannonballs is similar. It can even be said that the situation of the cannonballs is worse. The reason is that the cannonballs hit a curve and fly in the air longer than the bullets, so the impact is greater. Originally, a dozen of them were on the plains.
An accurate mortar shooter will frequently miss the target at this time.
What's more serious is that altitude sickness also became popular among the soldiers one or two days later. They all suffered from dizziness, vomiting, insomnia, and in severe cases, pulmonary edema and confusion.
My reaction in these aspects was not big, but my temper became very violent, and I often cursed and wanted to hit others... At first, I thought it was because I saw the soldiers in this state, but I learned about it after listening to Staff Li's explanation.
It is also a type of altitude sickness. That is, under the influence of various factors at the plateau, people are prone to depression or anxiety, which also has an extremely negative impact on people's psychology.
This is also reflected in the soldiers, but this is normal. You must know that what they used to be best at or most proud of were "physical fitness", "coordination", "shooting" and other military qualities, and even synthesis
It is not an exaggeration to say that the battalion has reached top status in terms of these military qualities.
But as the saying goes, "The higher you climb, the harder you fall." If we are new recruits, our military quality is not very good on the plains anyway. If we are a rookie on the plains, we will also be a rookie on the plateau. We can just start training from scratch.
.However, in the combined camp, what was a tiger on the plains became a sick cat on the plateau. If it was stimulated by the joint training battalion, it would naturally be difficult psychologically and the reaction would be stronger.
"Comrades!" A few days later, I summoned the soldiers to the playground for a short meeting: "I know what the comrades are thinking. During this period of training, everyone feels aggrieved and unsatisfied. But we
Fortunately, our opponent is the First Battalion, that is, our comrades. Comrades, think about it, what would happen if our opponent were the enemy now?"
"The battalion commander is right!" the instructor continued: "So this is an opportunity for us, an opportunity to learn from other troops. Our combined battalion... we have been standing at the top of the pyramid for too long, it can almost be said
Even since its establishment, it has not suffered a single defeat, which has directly led to the arrogance and arrogance of some comrades in our team. Now it just makes us realize one thing, that is, 'there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world'."
"Of course!" After a pause, the instructor continued: "It may be inappropriate for me to say this. In terms of military quality, we are no weaker than the First Battalion. The Combined Battalion just has not adapted to the combat environment on the plateau for the time being. This is also the reason for many comrades.
I'm not convinced. But the problem is...
The field will not give us any reason. Being inferior to others means inferior to others. Therefore, I hope that the soldiers can put down their past mentality of being superior to others and humbly learn from the comrades of the first battalion. Only in this way can we make progress, strive to surpass them and be better in the future.
Complete missions better on the battlefield!"
These words made the soldiers in the audience nod frequently.
The fact is indeed as the instructor said, quite a few soldiers in the combined battalion are arrogant and think that it would be fine if we don’t teach the first battalion how to fight, so why should the first battalion teach us?!
In this kind of mentality, many soldiers dismiss the experience taught by the first battalion during training, or do not take it seriously. They listen to it but still do it their own way. Who knows that the way the soldiers do it is on the plains?
It may be applicable, but it may be fatal if you reach the plateau.
In fact, this is fine. There is a saying that "people should be proud but not arrogant." This plateau training is exactly the way to show off the arrogance of the synthetic camp.
Then I discussed it with Staff Officer Li and other cadres, and concluded that this kind of adaptive training should not be done too hastily and should be carried out in several stages.
We formulated a new training plan: first lower the altitude and bring the troops to an altitude of three thousand meters for training... Although this altitude is still different from the plains, it is much better than an altitude of more than four thousand meters.
In addition, we have helicopters that can easily provide supplies up and down, so this is not a big difficulty for us.
After the troops have adapted to life and combat at an altitude of 3,000 meters, they will then gradually increase the altitude to conduct training, such as raising the altitude to 600 or 800 meters at a time. In this way, a total of three stages of training can be completed.
Staff Officer Li couldn't help but feel embarrassed about my training plan, and said: "We have been here for more than ten years, why can't we think of this method?"
In fact, I believe it is not because they have not thought of this method, but because they want to establish several sub-bases and conduct phased training without helicopters, it is better to stay at high altitudes for longer and slowly adapt. (
