In the yard of the special service platoon barracks, Monk Wei was directing the soldiers to practice grappling and fighting.
It has to be said that Monk Wei was born in the Shaolin Temple after all, and his kung fu was very good. If the soldiers of the special service platoon could learn half of the kung fu from him, none of the Japanese agents would be able to match him. So, Xu Dalong asked Wei
Monk, served as the instructor of the special service platoon's capture and combat training.
He asked Monk Wei not to let the warriors start with practicing routines, but to let him extract the essence of grappling and fighting from the Kung Fu he learned from the Shaolin Temple.
Monk Wei selected the best parts of 36 Shaolin martial arts moves, and Xu Dalong helped him select them. Finally, he selected 24 moves and asked the soldiers to practice them repeatedly. After they became proficient in these moves, they were allowed to practice to strengthen their strength.
.
Monk Wei has a strong personality and a big temper. He is extremely strict in guiding the training of the soldiers.
When he saw the soldiers failing to perform their movements properly, he would scold them loudly and sometimes even kick them.
Although the soldiers were angry, they really admired Monk Wei's kung fu. They tried their best to move well and not let Monk Wei find fault with them.
The soldiers in the special service platoon were all selected and all were excellent. Under the strict teaching guidance of Monk Wei, they made rapid progress.
Seeing Xu Dalong's return, Monk Wei asked everyone to stop training and rest where they were. He, Zheng Xirong, and Wang Xiaohu gathered around.
Monk Wei said: "Master Long."
Nowadays, only Monk Wei in the independent group calls Xu Dalong that way. He admires Xu Dalong and feels it is an honor to call him that. Others want to call him that, but they don't have the qualifications yet.
He asked: "Have you received the combat mission?"
Xu Dalong said: "The leader asked us to choose our own targets. Huzi, bring the topographic map we went to Wanjia Town last time."
Among the three squads of today's special service platoon, the first and second squads are combat squads, and each squad is divided into three combat groups.
The third squad is a service squad, which is also divided into three groups. The first group is the artillery group, equipped with a 60mm mortar. The second group is the machine gun group, equipped with a Type 92 heavy machine gun (temporarily vacant), and equipped with a crooked handle
submachine gun. The third group is responsible for transporting and storing supplies, field cooking and other logistical work.
Xu Dalong took the topographic map from Wang Xiaohu and spread it on the mill. He pointed to a location on the map and said: "This is the Xinzhuang stronghold, the same stronghold we passed last time. There is a platoon there
Puppet troops, let’s train with them first this time, capture this stronghold, and seize all the weapons, ammunition and supplies in the stronghold.”
"That's great." Zheng Xirong said happily.
Monk Wei and Wang Xiaohu were also very happy and asked: "When will we set off?"
The soldiers of the special service platoon were training every day and felt very boring. When they heard that there was a war, everyone was very happy and gathered around them, wondering when the action would start.
Xu Dalong said: "I plan to set off the day after tomorrow. Everyone will look at this terrain map and think about the battle plan. The whole platoon will meet tomorrow night to discuss it. No one can be lazy and must come up with a battle plan.
Don’t think of yourselves as ordinary soldiers. You will all be commanders in the future. From now on, you must cultivate your own combat command skills. Do you understand?"
The officers and soldiers of the special service platoon felt very excited when they saw that Xu Dalong attached so much importance to training them. They all replied in unison: "I understand."
Xu Dalong said: "Now rest for half an hour and then conduct pre-war training."
Xu Dalong and others came to the hillside outside the village. He asked Wang Xiaohu and others to go to the hillside 60 meters away and build a pile of rocks with stones. There was a rectangular hole in the middle of the pile.
Xu Dalong pointed at the hole and said: "Have you seen that hole? Its size is the same as the shooting hole on the Japanese and puppet army gun tower. Now I ask you to work in pairs and put bullets into that hole. Every time
Each person has 20 rounds of bullets, and two people shoot alternately, with an interval of 10 seconds between each shot."
Xu Dalong first gave a demonstration to Zheng Xirong. The two of them found a bunker. Xu Dalong first put the bullet into the hole, and then hid his body behind the bunker. Ten seconds later, Zheng Xirong also put the bullet into the hole.
in.
The two men kept shooting, each fired five bullets, and then stood up.
Xu Dalong said: "Let's start practicing like this."
Zheng Xirong took charge and they started shooting practice.
Most of these people were selected and excellent soldiers with good marksmanship, and all of them were able to complete the task of shooting bullets into holes in the stone piles.
After arranging the shooting practice, Xu Dalong said to Monk Wei: "You choose five bombardiers and follow me."
Xu Dalong took a few steps in the other direction and asked Wang Xiaohu to lead people to build a pile of stones at a distance of 40 meters, leaving a rectangular hole just like before.
At this time, Monk Wei had already stood in a row with five bombardiers.
Xu Dalong first picked up a grenade practice bomb and threw it towards the square hole on the pile of rocks.
The grenade was thrown right into the square hole.
Xu Dalong pointed to the hole and said: "That is the shooting hole of the Japanese and puppet army's bunker. I ask you now to throw the grenade into the shooting hole.
The bombing exercise is directed by Monk Wei, let’s start now.”
Monk Wei picked up a practice grenade and threw it towards the square hole in the pile of rocks.
He is very strong and can throw grenades the farthest among them. He can throw grenades as far as 72m.
The grenade thrown by Monk Wei flew very fast and whistled in the air. However, it did not hit the shooting hole. The grenade hit the stone nearby and bounced away.
Monk Wei was a little unconvinced, so he threw five more balls in succession before one of them went in. After this incident, he admired Xu Dalong even more.
Xu Dalong said: "Very good, let's train like this."
For two days in a row, the special service platoon mainly trained on these two items: shooting and bombing. The hit rate basically reached 100%.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Xu Dalong stopped the shooting and bomb-dropping training. He gathered the people together and took an engineering shovel from Wang Xiaohu.
The engineer shovel was designed by Xu Dalong, and its shape is completely based on the engineer shovel used by later special forces. The only shortcoming is that the engineer shovel they used was made of the hoe used by farmers, and its hardness and toughness are somewhat insufficient. Under the current conditions
I can only make do with it.
Xu Dalong walked to one end of the queue, turned around, and ran towards the front of the queue. After running a few steps, he quickly fell down and crawled forward. While crawling, he kept rolling, and then continued to move forward.
Perfectly demonstrates the individual tactics of infantry engaging the enemy.
Xu Dalong came to the front of the queue and stopped advancing. He took out the engineering shovel from his back, turned sideways and dug on the ground. Soon after, a bunker was dug out, and his whole body hid in it.
He took out a sack, continued to dig the soil pit under him, and then put the soil into the sack. Soon the sack bulged up. He placed the sack in front and completed the soil work of building a personal bunker.
Xu Dalong's movements were smooth and flowing. The soldiers were very impressed and burst into warm applause.
Next, Xu Dalong asked the soldiers to train according to the movements he just made.
After dinner that day, Xu Dalong gathered the soldiers. The squad leaders of each squad had collected all the combat plans written by the soldiers.
Xu Dalong carefully read everyone's combat plans and commented on them one by one.
Among these battle plans, Zheng Xirong's battle plan was the best, followed by Wang Xiaohu. Wang Xiaohu had been with Li Yunlong in the past, so he was naturally able to learn a lot, and his level was relatively high.
Monk Wei is also a veteran, and his plan is not bad. Xu Dalong also fully affirmed it.
Xu Dalong concluded: "Very good. Brothers have used their brains, and most of the plans are very practical. I will ask for everyone's opinions before fighting in the future. Let me emphasize again, you are not ordinary soldiers. You will definitely do it in the future.
They will all become commanders, company commanders, battalion commanders or even higher positions. Therefore, don’t be afraid of hard work and be strict with yourself. I believe that everyone will continue to grow and improve.”
The longer Zheng Xirong stayed with Xu Dalong, the more he discovered how powerful the platoon leader was.
Not only is his personal tactical level extremely high, but his mobilization is also extremely provocative.
The soldiers of the special service platoon felt their blood boiling after hearing Xu Dalong's words.
At 5 o'clock in the morning the next day, Xu Dalong left Yangcun with the special service platoon and headed for the Xinzhuang stronghold.
