Looking at the tightly arranged training sheet, I can only be glad that I am a battalion commander and am not included in this training plan.
But I quickly thought... we are going to Afghanistan! And we can only take five hundred people with us... In other words, I will no longer have a combined battalion in hand, and the soldiers in my hand will be at best
Just two infantry companies and a mortar company... In addition, the troops may run all over the mountains in the mountainous areas. Of course, I, the battalion commander and the command organization, will also run with the troops. If I get tired of running in front of the soldiers,
He was so out of breath that he even hindered the troops...especially if he dropped the ball in front of Chen Yiyi, that would be a huge embarrassment.
So I had no choice... I gritted my teeth and ran with my guards, correspondents and even the staff during the five-kilometer cross-country trip.
Regarding this point, the guards and correspondents have no objections. After all, they are soldiers... Physical training is a must. If the guards are not physically fit enough, how can they protect the leader? If the correspondents cannot run, how can they carry it?
Keep up with the troops by listening to the radio?
This is especially true for correspondents. Don’t think that being a correspondent is an easy job. The physical requirements for correspondents in the army are the highest. The reason is that correspondents often have to run to set up telephone lines, and they must be able to run to communicate under limited conditions.
Sometimes they have to climb up telephone poles or high places to connect interrupted telephone lines, etc... Because communication during combat is particularly important, the requirement for communicators is... to be able to survive even if a hand is blown off.
Climbing up to a high place and wiring wiring with one hand, you can imagine how high the physical requirements are.
So of course the guards and correspondents had no objection to my order, and they didn't even take it to heart.
The ones who complained about this were all the staff officers under me...
"Battal Commander!" Zhao Jingping said with some embarrassment: "Look... I am already an old man, and I have been sitting in an office for so many years... Now if I go for a five-kilometer cross-country trip, aren't you going to kill us?"
"Yes, battalion commander!" King Chuang also echoed beside him: "I am the artillery staff officer... Our artillerymen all follow the cannons in cars. We usually practice calculating coordinates and shooting cannons when we have nothing to do. This makes
Let’s go practice physical fitness...is it necessary..."
I had to smile bitterly: "Comrades...it's not that I want to embarrass you, it's the battlefield that embarrasses you! If you don't practice your physical fitness now, you won't be able to keep up on the battlefield in the future, and it will hold back the army...in other words, you will be eliminated.
…”
"Oh!" When I said this, the staff members understood. They are also smart people. They also knew that I knew what kind of missions there would be in the future, so now I am anxious to let them practice physical fitness and then contact the synthetic camp.
The troops are also in a hurry to practice physical fitness and are being eliminated in large numbers... There is no reason why they are not enlightened.
"Practice, comrades!" the instructor said with a grimace: "The battalion commander is doing this for our own good. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war... If the battalion commander is not careful now, we will be on the battlefield when the time comes.
I’m going to regret it!”
Since the instructors all attended in person, the others naturally had nothing to say and had no choice but to follow one by one.
To be honest... the staff officers are not very good at physical fitness because they have been sitting in the office for many years and lack of training. Fortunately, I do not have high requirements for the staff officers... As for the staff officers, what I mainly need is their
As for their heads, they are not asked to go to the battlefield to fight. They just need to be able to keep up when the troops are transferred, so the load is much less. They can just bring their own basic survival equipment.
But even this is enough!
The reason is that this five-kilometer cross-country trip can hardly be called cross-country, but should be called mountain climbing... I think this must be Chen Qiaoqiao's suggestion. A group of soldiers were rolling around on a completely roadless mountain, and even if they encountered a cliff, they would have to climb a mountain.
I tried to find a way to climb up, but I had to swim across the river... So every time I walked five kilometers like this, I almost fell down from exhaustion, and I ran like this every day, and sometimes I even didn't run enough during the day and had to do it in the middle of the night.
I was suddenly called to get up and run during a surprise attack...
This is indeed a bit difficult, but after thinking about it, I think it is really necessary... If an army moves along mountain roads or roads on the battlefield... it will be difficult not to be attacked by the enemy.
The reason is very simple, the road is straight... I saw troops coming over there from a distance, a dozen or twenty people ambushed on both sides of the road and planted a few directional mines... It was a trap.
But if we don't walk along the mountain road and change the direction from time to time... obviously there won't be this problem, because the enemy has no idea where we will go next.
Although this kind of training is painful, the soldiers gritted their teeth and persevered...
I think there are two reasons why the soldiers held on like this.
One is that I don’t want to be eliminated. I made it clear from the beginning that anyone who can’t keep up will be kicked out.
The other one... Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao always ran ahead like a fish in water at this time. I don't know what they were doing. All kinds of difficult mountains became very easy to climb at their feet... Maybe this
It may have something to do with the fact that they grew up in the jungles of Vietnam. Traveling over mountains and ridges seems to be part of their lives.
And because both of them are women... the soldiers were not convinced... On the first day, a few soldiers cursed unhappily: "Damn it! After serving as soldiers for so many years, I still can't outrun two people."
A woman!"
This is the character of Chinese men... Perhaps because of thousands of years of cultural tradition, Chinese men are a bit chauvinistic in their hearts and refuse to admit defeat in front of women... So all of them tried their best to surpass Chen
Sisters! Even if Chen Qiaoqiao increased the difficulty, the soldiers had no complaints... In the words of the soldiers, it was: "Women also run like this. They can do it, but us grown men can't?"
From this aspect... I made the right choice in using the Chen sisters as consultants to help with training. Just because the soldiers took the men's face into consideration... I don't know how much the training progress has been accelerated!
After practicing like this for a while, I asked Chen Qiaoqiao: "Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao... can all the Vietnamese army agents run away like you?"
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but was stunned, and then laughed out loud: "The Vietnamese army's special agents can run much better than me. If you want to be able to match the Vietnamese army's special agents in the jungle... I'm afraid it will take a few more years of training!"
Then I understood... No wonder it was difficult for us to fight the Vietnamese in the jungle before, and in the end we had to use the method of suppression... that is, we first burned the mountains to the ground.
It seems that the Americans did the same thing back then... The Americans did it even more brilliantly. They used airplanes to spray a large amount of highly toxic "defoliant"... Once this thing was sprayed, all plants would die overnight, regardless of plant type.
All the leaves have fallen off!
"So!" Chen Qiaoqiao said with some worry: "Battal Commander... If we want to go deep into the jungle to fight against Vietnamese agents, I'm afraid one month is not enough!"
"Keep practicing!" I said, "Practice as hard as you can!"
"Yes!" Chen Qiaoqiao answered very simply.
What she doesn't know is... what we are going to face next is not a Vietnamese agent, but the Soviet army, which is even more powerful than Vietnam and can be said to be Vietnam's "master"!
In addition to participating in the physical training of the army, we also participated in shooting training.
Originally, this shooting training could be saved... As for the special agent company and the sniper company, the soldiers here are all good soldiers selected from the 40th Division, so they are all good at shooting. But now our army
It is a comprehensive replacement of the AK74, so the soldiers need a process of adapting to the new weapon.
This change of equipment made the soldiers ecstatic... The reason is that the new gun is much better in terms of quality, weight and performance than the 56-charge we used before.
I also practiced in the shooting range for a while... Although my main weapon is still SVD, after all, the battlefield is ever-changing, and there will always be times when I need to use the AK74... It should be said that the more guns I can shoot, the more guns I can shoot.
The better... Otherwise, if you fight the enemy in close combat, if there is a gun next to you but you don't know how to shoot, it will be fatal!
As mentioned before...the characteristics of ak74 are its light weight and long range...the shooting range is four hundred meters, which is the range that we can only achieve in 56 and a half, and because ak74 can be fired continuously, and the bullet spread area is small
, after adding a scope, it is no problem to use it to deal with targets 500 to 600 meters away. In addition, it can also launch grenades, and the recoil is very small... The recoil is small because the bullets are small, so no matter it is
Both the power and the controllability have been greatly improved. It is difficult to refuse after using this.
So the weapon equipment of a squad in the agent company is like this: an RPK squad machine gun... This machine gun was collected together with the AK74. The bullets are common to the AK74, and even the magazines are common... that is, a 45-round long magazine.
And a 30-round short magazine can be inserted at will, whether it is inserted into a machine gun or an assault rifle, it can be used. A Type 69 rocket launcher... This thing is indispensable for infantry, otherwise what will happen if it encounters a tank?
There is no way at all. The others are all ak74.
The heavy machine gun is the Type 67... The reason why I chose the Type 67 is because it is much lighter than the Type 57 heavy machine gun (the Type 57 heavy machine gun weighs 30 kg, and the Type 67 weighs 20 kg)... With a load of ten kilograms,
For a unit fighting games in the mountains, this is a large number. You don't know how much more food or ammunition it can bring.
On the other hand, the bullets of this heavy machine gun are also common with the SVD sniper rifle...so this brings great convenience to the logistics of the army. (To be continued.)
