"...In the wild, you must distinguish between food and water that can sustain your life. Grass roots and bark can help you fill your stomach, and even those disgusting bugs can give you the strength to persevere again. As for
How to get clean water? What you need to remember is that if there is no running water or there are fish and shrimps in the water, then no matter how clean the water seems, don’t enter it easily. It will bring fatal threats to your body...
…
What we need to learn next is how to get filling food and clean drinking water when food is cut off. You have to learn to distinguish which grass roots and bark can be eaten, and which insects can restore our strength. You have to learn
Learn to observe, see what kind of water is drinkable, and understand how to find drinkable water when you can't make a fire. If it is really difficult, I would suggest that you choose to drink your own urine to quench your thirst, and don't go there.
Touching liquids of unknown origin..."
In fact, Claude suddenly discovered that if there was a team of magic soldiers to form an elite special forces, then he would not have to work so hard to teach these soldiers how to adapt to extreme survival training in the wild. At least there would be people with magic skills.
There is no need to worry about drinking water in the wild. They only need to cast spells to get clean drinking water, which will even be more threatening when conducting reconnaissance and sabotage raids.
The Kingdom of Overas gathers children with magical talents and lets them learn magic and enter special departments to deal with external magicians and wild magicians within the kingdom. This is actually a method of control. Claude
I'm thinking that maybe he can also learn this method, but he doesn't have the conditions yet, and he doesn't have the energy and time to complete this idea.
At the end of November, the 131st Ranger Battalion ended its three-month long-distance training. Claude also said goodbye to his family again and led the troops back to the camp near Christo Castle. Three days later, Claude
Lord was summoned again by General Michelchi.
"I have seen your training and field exercise records for this long-distance training, and you did a good job. Next, we will conduct a three-month field exercise with the Guards Corps in April to test the combat capabilities of our Ranger Division.
.I decided to let the 131st Ranger Battalion conduct military exercises with various units of the Guards Corps. Are you confident in leading the 131st Ranger Battalion to victory?"
As soon as he met General Michelich, he threw a big surprise. Claude almost ducked and said, "No, General, our Ranger Division has only been established for less than half a year. How is the Guards Corps?"
If you think of asking us for a field exercise, isn't this bullying?"
It was indeed a bully. The Imperial Guard returned to the capital after the war and was the fastest among all the legions to make up for the shortage of casualties. It has been almost three years since the war ended, and they have already restored their combat effectiveness. And You.
However, it took more than two years for the Jockey Corps to be established. Although they were all veterans who had experienced the war, the sloppy life in the military camp in the previous two years had caused these veterans to lose their spirit. It only took three people to re-train.
moon.
Now the Guards are looking for the Rangers to conduct field exercises. They simply want to torture the Rangers and beat the Rangers to show the majesty of the Guards, the kingdom's number one ace field regiment. Claude is very confused.
Why did General Belmichelich agree to this request of the Guards Corps? This is simply adding chaos to the Ranger Division. It will take another year and a half to conduct military exercises, waiting for the various units under the Ranger Division.
Let’s talk about it after everyone has regained their fighting strength...
General Michelic smiled bitterly and shook his head, telling Claude that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Originally, the Guards Corps was not only the kingdom's first field ace regiment, but also known as the Royal Guards of the Stirling royal family. But now the Rangers
However, the regiment became the royal guard of the Stirling royal family. It can be said that it surpassed the Guards Corps in one fell swoop and became the most trusted royal force of His Majesty King Stirling X. This made the officers and soldiers of the Guards Corps very unconvinced.
In particular, the Stirling royal family provided money to support the formation of the Ranger Regiment, as well as the military camp stationed at Castle Christo, which the royal family forced the Guards Corps to give up. Therefore, when the Royal Guards gave up the military camp at Castle Christo three years ago,
The legion proposed to conduct field combat exercises with the Ranger Division, hoping to win the military exercise and let the royal family know who is the most reliable royal guard. Prince Hansback agreed, and now the time is up
Almost there.
"Claude, this time let the 131st Ranger Battalion represent the Ranger Division to conduct on-the-spot combat exercises with the Guards Corps. The scale of the entire military exercise will not exceed one regiment. Prince Hansback will go to the exercise location.
Observe and serve as the chief referee of the exercise."
General Michelich looked at Claude and said: "Although I don't care about the outcome of the entire military exercise, I hope that you can lead the 131st Ranger Battalion to win at least a few field battle exercises, so that we can lose
It’s not that ugly. Since our Ranger Division was established, time has been too tight, and the combat effectiveness has not been restored. The eldest prince also knows it, so you don’t have to bear too much burden, as long as you can exert half of the commanding ability in the military academy.
Already..."
Claude could only salute and receive the order.
After the rainy season, April comes quickly.
After it was determined that the Ranger Division would be dispatched from the 131st Battalion, the Guards Corps expressed its unwillingness to use more to bully the smaller ones. Due to the over-staffing of the 131st Ranger Battalion, the Guards Corps stated that they would only dispatch two field battles at most in one field battle exercise.
Battalion, in terms of strength, it looks roughly the same as the 131st Battalion. Claude just wanted to curse, is this similar? The two field battalions combined are already two and a half brigades more than the 131st Battalion, with more than 500 people.
…
An outline of various field combat exercises for this military exercise between the Ranger Division and the Guards Corps has also been issued. The 131st Ranger Battalion will conduct seven field combat drills with troops from the two field battalions of the Guards Corps.
The first field battle exercise is to capture the flag. A blue flag is planted at location a. The 131st Ranger Battalion is at location b. The two field battalions of the Guards are at location b. Location b is the same distance from location a as location a.
.Both parties set off to location a at the same time, capture the blue flag and guard location a for three days and three nights or until one party fails.
This is a conventional field battle exercise. The two sides are basically about the same strength. Each has a light cavalry brigade and an artillery brigade. What the commander needs to consider is how to get to point a as quickly as possible to seize the opportunity.
But for both sides conducting field combat exercises, the difficulty lies in the coordination of troop marches.
If the light cavalry brigade is allowed to rush to point A first, then it is likely that it will be unable to hold the position without artillery support, because the dismounted cavalry cannot withstand the attack of the enemy infantry. Once the light cavalry brigade is eliminated by the enemy first, the subsequent arrivals will
The troops would be unable to withstand the enemy's light cavalry raid on the artillery position, and the destruction of the artillery brigade meant that the field battle exercise ended in failure.
Everyone knows that defense is always more advantageous than offense. If you get to point A first, you can set up a defensive position first, and then you can wait for the enemy to come. Even if you engage in a positional offensive and defensive battle, the casualties and losses will be at the advantage of the defensive side. Therefore, in this battle
The key to field combat drills lies in the marching speed of the artillery brigade. Protecting the artillery brigade and arriving at point A before the enemy means victory is assured.
However, the Guards Corps did not expect that Claude did not plan to engage in any offensive and defensive battles with them. During the three-day march, Claude commanded the 131st Ranger Battalion to turn a corner and march overnight.
They rushed to the road ahead of the two field battalions of the Guards Corps and set up an ambush. The two field battalions of the Guards Corps swaggered into the ambush circle at the normal marching speed. Then, there was no more. Follow the tour
The referee team of the 131st Cavalry Battalion unanimously concluded that the two field battalions of the Guards Corps were ambushed and the entire army was defeated...
After this field battle exercise, the commanding officers of the two field battalions of the Guards Corps all cried out loudly, accusing Claude of not abiding by the rules and clearly capturing the flag to attack and defend the position. How could it turn into an ambush and raid?
Claude said, wouldn't it be more convenient to defeat you first and then capture the flag? You don't need to stay on the position for three days and three nights. Besides, the drill has already started from the starting point, and it doesn't start after capturing the flag.
Battle drill...
Prince Hansback judged the 131st Ranger Battalion as the winner, and the Guards had to hold back.
The second field combat exercise project is encounter. As the name suggests, two troops suddenly meet on the battlefield and start fighting on the spot. It ends with the failure of one troop.
This time the two field battalions of the Guards learned their lesson and marched very cautiously. At the same time, they also dispatched a light cavalry brigade to act as reconnaissance cavalry, covering the battlefield on their marching route, and soon discovered the Rangers 1 and 3.
The 1st Battalion of the Scout Cavalry. After another half day, the Scout Cavalry reported that the 131st Ranger Battalion had occupied a small mound and was setting up camp and setting up defensive positions.
It seems that this time the 131st Battalion of the Rangers is preparing for a head-on offensive and defensive battle with the two field battalions of the Guards Corps. The commanders of the Guards Corps are very confident and will teach the Rangers a lesson during the offensive and defensive battles.
Battalion 131. So we also set up camp, preparing to have a good night's rest and capture the enemy's position in one fell swoop tomorrow. We also arranged for light cavalry to monitor the movements of the enemy's camp to prevent the enemy from leaving camp overnight to make a sneak attack.
Claude did prepare to carry out a night sneak attack, but instead of sending out a large force, he only sent out three of the most elite small groups of soldiers, and brought with them the members of the referee team who were lagging behind. The light cavalry and security soldiers sent by the Guards Corps were on guard.
It was a sneak attack by the large force of the 131st Ranger Battalion. I just stared at the front and ignored the movement of the small group of people leaving the camp.
Claude led three small teams in a large circle and came to the back of the two field battalions of the Guards Corps. He easily sneaked into the camp. What happened next was very logical. The two field battalions
The commanding officers were picked up one after another, tied up into rice dumplings and stuffed with towels in their mouths. It was not enough if they were not tied up, because the referee team had already announced that he was killed in a sneak attack. A dead man cannot make any noise, so he still behaved
Being tied up is more dignified as an officer...
Then early the next morning, the soldiers from the two field camps got ready to go to the battlefield. They found that there were several referee officers standing in the barracks, announcing that less than half of them had been killed in battle last night, and the officers had also died.
It was all gone, the warehouse was burned down, and there was no cooking in the canteen, because everything was nominally burned down...
How is this possible? We have already lost since we woke up early in the morning. Your referee team is cheating... It’s just that no matter how unconvinced the soldiers are, they can’t change the decision of the referee team. The Guards Corps was still sentenced to lose in the field battle exercise of this encounter.
The soldiers below were dissatisfied, but the officers above were all discerning. The 131st Ranger Battalion only dispatched three elite squads of soldiers and mixed into the barracks of the Guards Corps. If it was a real war, then these two field battles
The camp can say that a big defeat is inevitable...
The items of the third and fourth field battle exercises were offensive and defensive battles. Both troops moved to a small castle. Claude was very lucky and picked the defensive side first, so that the 131st Ranger Battalion had three days to arrange.
defensive position. Two field battalions of the Praetorian Guards launched an attack three days later.
This defensive operation lasted five days and five nights. In the end, the defending 131st Ranger Battalion won with a slight advantage. One of the more controversial points was that Claude ordered the soldiers to make many scarecrows out of wheat straw to confuse the enemy.
The enemy, luring them to open fire to expose the target, and then use fire suppression to eliminate these shooters who used precise aiming and shooting to pose a threat to the defenders in the castle. The referee team determined that the soldiers of the Guards Corps who had sneaked into the forward positions were eliminated, which caused the officers of the Guards Corps to
Their protests could not change their judgment of failure for the third time.
The fourth field battle exercise was held by the two field battalions of the Guards Corps, and the 131st Ranger Battalion attacked. This was the key game that the officers of the Guards Corps believed could turn defeat into victory. There were 131st Ranger Battalion.
Demonstrative defensive operations, the commanding officers of the two field battalions all swore that they would definitely win. After all, they had more than 500 troops more than the 131st Ranger Battalion, and they also had small castles and defensive positions.
To rely on...
It's just that this time they failed faster, and only lasted for half a day. Very simply, Claude ordered the soldiers to burn wheat straw upwind, add water, leaves, horse dung, dog shit, etc., and thick smoke.
Rolling. Not a single soldier of the Guards could stay in the small castle or defensive position. They all escaped coughing and choking on smoke. Most of them even threw away their muskets...
The officers of the Praetorian Guards had nothing to say.
Although some people are still complaining that the 131st Ranger Battalion is messing around and how can they conduct field combat exercises like this. But officers who have had battlefield experience know very well that they really encounter an enemy like the 131st Ranger Battalion on the battlefield.
If so, he would be considered lucky to be able to escape and come back with his life.
There were seven field battle exercises in the entire military exercise, but the 131st Ranger Battalion had already won four times, and the officers of the Guards Corps had no fighting spirit. They did not expect to encounter Claude's uneasy common sense.
The commander of the card was too embarrassed to continue the competition after losing.
So Prince Hansback announced the end of this military exercise very compliantly. Well, it only took Claude a month to complete the task of conducting military exercises with the Guards Corps, taking the Rangers with him.
