Under Zhao Jingping's arrangements, work was quickly arranged for the newly recruited educated Afghans.
This job is actually not difficult... because Saheide conducted a detailed investigation and established a file when recruiting soldiers, so as soon as the file is taken out... the name, age, place of origin of each new member,
Family background, education level and even combat experience are all clear at a glance... What Zhao Jingping has to do is to classify the team members based on these files and information, and decide which of them are suitable to directly join the army and fight, and which of them are suitable to stay.
A teacher in the background.
Of course...it is not as simple as it sounds. For example, when entering the army to participate in war, you also need to consider whether it is better to enter the artillery unit or the mechanized unit...For those with a solid knowledge base, of course it is to enter the artillery unit. This requires
A lot of calculations and mapping, and for those who have some skills... For example, if you can drive your family car in the past, don't think about it... Go drive an armored vehicle or learn to drive a tank, some can repair machinery... That's just right, for tanks and armored vehicles
Maintenance requires such talents.
Compared with this, the classification of those old intellectuals is much simpler... They are teachers, and most of them are old men. Although some are young people, they are not suitable for the battlefield because they have been injured... They can't do anything.
If you can't do it, then just divide it according to education level... Those with a junior high school education will be taught basic knowledge, and those with a high school education and above will be taught intermediate knowledge together.
As for this advanced knowledge... We soldiers really don't need to know such advanced knowledge... Our goal is to be able to fight and use modern equipment, right? Even if we learn to understand the theory of relativity, it is of no use!
So the knowledge we teach is actually very little, and the scope is relatively narrow... The elementary level is to learn simple mathematical knowledge. We teach guerrillas to learn calculations. The intermediate level is relatively complicated and covers a wide range of things... For example, there are courses for artillery.
.There are ones for anti-aircraft guns and there are ones for tanks.
For the training of these courses, we generally adopt two forms of compulsory and free... Compulsory means that everyone must take the junior class, and everyone must pass... If you fail, get out, anyway, there are many people out there who want to
Squeeze in.
Of course, ideological and political classes every night are also necessary... When I was in China, I thought that such courses were not very necessary. Now that I am commanding an army, I realize that this course is really not necessary... This
Course, to put it in a great way is to build a thoughtful army, to put it in a simple way is to brainwash.
But no matter what words are used, it is important for an army to understand what they can and cannot do, which direction they should go in, how they should treat their comrades, how they should treat the enemy, and how they should treat the people...
…This is all necessary.
Especially like the Afghan guerrillas... They were originally divided into various forces and have not been accustomed to that kind of unified state... Although a force of four or five thousand people is not a unified force for us Chinese, but
This is enough for the Afghan guerrillas... It is difficult to find a guerrilla group among the Afghan guerrillas with more than 4,000 or 5,000 people without internal divisions.
Therefore, only by constantly instilling in them in ideological and political classes the idea of treating the Hijeou Valley as a whole, and then spreading this whole to the entire Afghanistan, uniting the people and forces of the entire Afghanistan, and finally driving out the invaders.
Only in this way can the contradictions and barriers between their various forces be gradually weakened.
This can also be said to be a supplement to eliminate disputes between various forces and weaken the power of small leaders, and centralize power... What was done before was formal and external, but now it is ideological and internal!
With the efforts of our internal and external attacks, I believe that the guerrillas in the Cigeo Valley will soon change their previous situation of constant internal fighting and form a powerful force against the Soviet army!
As for freedom... I mean in intermediate courses.
Although the Afghan guerrillas have a low level of education, there are many diligent and studious people among them... They didn't study before. That's because they didn't have the opportunity to study... The family was too poor to open the pot, and after eating this meal, they were gone.
Suddenly, there is no time to think and have the conditions to study... For them, staying in the classroom and reading is a luxury.
But it’s different now... In this Cigeo Valley, we don’t have to worry about food and clothing... We have our logistical resources to support them; and then there are free schools... We provide them with teachers and classrooms (the classrooms are actually large
Some of the houses, most of the residents of Hijeo Valley have moved to Pakistan, so there are many houses available).
So what else can the guerrillas hope for? Besides, learning these skills will help them fight the Soviet invaders better. At the same time, it can also increase their chances of surviving on the battlefield... So what reason is there not to work hard?
Therefore, a considerable number of guerrillas will take the initiative to request to enter the intermediate course after completing the elementary course... and they still have a huge appetite. They want to learn not only mortars, anti-aircraft guns, but also tactics...
We are open to those who are eager to learn. As long as you want to learn, no problem... They can choose freely in these courses, but they can only learn one thing at a time, and they can only learn another after passing the same course.
Same... This is mainly to prevent some people from having too much appetite and grabbing a little of everything but getting nothing. On the other hand, it is also to avoid affecting normal training.
To be honest... You can never make too much money on anything on the battlefield. Sometimes you even need some troops who can do everything... For example, special forces, they must be able to fight any weapon they can pick up, and they must be able to drive any car or tank.
Of course, there are also some Afghan guerrillas who are just messing around...who don't want to learn anything and can just live one day at a time, that's fine...as long as these people know how to shoot, they can learn how to shoot.
Just obey orders and observe military discipline. Such people are also needed on the battlefield to fight face to face with the Soviets on the front line.
It is worth mentioning that... we have also opened an officer class, which is dedicated to cultivating grass-roots command talents like a military academy.
Needless to say, the things learned in this class are squad and platoon tactics, battalion and company tactics, etc... The training targets, all cadres, that is, the leaders of various forces, must participate. Add some with a cultural foundation, and then join
Some come in voluntarily to learn out of interest... those leaders who cannot learn well are waiting to be eliminated!
