The troops entered into intense training the next day.
The training subjects are mainly maneuvering and responding to emergencies during the march.
This is in line with the actual situation of the 8th Infantry Regiment.
The reason is that the 8th Infantry Regiment has rich combat experience... Although most of their combat experience is in street fighting with the enemy in Stalingrad, there is a saying that "all roads lead to Rome", and the tactical actions of fighting this thing are actually
It's almost the same, especially since Stalingrad was bombed into ruins, it's not much different from positional warfare.
In this case, what the 8th Infantry Regiment needs more training is the transition from an infantry regiment to a motorized infantry regiment.
This is actually not difficult, because it means taking a car instead of walking.
But it’s not that simple. For example, at the soldier level, there are more problems of being attacked halfway, problems of missing soldiers during the march, problems of rapid deployment after arriving at the destination, etc.
In short, although mechanized marching has the advantages of fast speed, large load capacity, and strong firepower, it is a new test for the commander's command.
Among them, the training of the fourth battalion, the naval infantry battalion, is quite special.
They are equipped with amphibious landing craft, and of course they also have cars, but cars are mostly used to carry ammunition and fuel.
Needless to say why they are equipped with amphibious landing craft, it is to prepare for landing.
Later, Shulka learned that basically every regiment of the 51st Group Army was specially equipped with a landing battalion composed of naval infantry and amphibious landing ships... They were responsible for forcibly crossing the river when they encountered it, and if possible, they were also responsible for moving other rivers.
The task of transporting troops across the river for reinforcements and building pontoon bridges.
In this regard, it is correct that these navies have been used as infantry before, because their current task is to cross the river and then fight the enemy on the shore.
Obviously, because of their previous combat experience, they could quickly adapt to this kind of landing battle.
During this period, Shulka took some time to inspect the new military camp.
The training of the child soldiers in the new camp is completely tactical training on the battlefield. This is because they will basically not be attacked on the way because they will follow the logistics troops in the second echelon. Of course, it is impossible to send them to amphibious operations.
Log in and launch an attack.
Most of them are male soldiers, with only about thirty female soldiers.
The female soldiers were personally trained by the battalion commander, Captain Grigovich... Perhaps for the female soldiers, the black cloth covering Grigovich's right eye was scary enough, and there were also scars and slight distortions on her forehead.
Deformed facial features.
This made the female soldiers dare not even look into Gregorovich's eyes. They just mechanically fell down amidst his hoarse shouts, rolled and crawled in the mud, and everyone was covered in dirt.
"What do you know about them?" Shulka asked, lighting a cigarette.
"I don't know much!" Denisokov replied: "I had conversations on the train. Most of them are still students, I mean... the kind who study in ordinary schools!"
Shulka nodded and complained: "That means they don't know anything!"
"But there is one thing in common, Comrade Shulka!" Denisokov said: "They all admire you very much, just like me! Because we always talk about you on the train!"
Shulka glanced at Denisokov and said nothing.
In fact, Shulka has known this for a long time. This can be seen from the eyes of the new recruits, even the female soldiers.
Even Denisokov became an object of envy for being Shulka's guard and orderly.
"Also, I made a mistake!" said Denisokov: "I failed to keep a secret during the conversation and accidentally revealed the news that we will become your subordinates! You didn't know when they heard this
How excited I am, some people even asked me for details several times and asked me to guarantee..."
Seeing Shulka's silence, Denisokov stopped talking and asked cautiously: "Comrade Shulka, you don't blame me for not keeping the secret strictly, do you?"
"No!" Shulka shook his head.
This is actually not a secret. Even if you tell others, it doesn't matter.
The problem is...Shurka believes that this "idol" model is not a good thing, especially for these "baby soldiers" who have dreams or fantasies in their minds, because they want to be like Shulka
"Heroes" are unwilling to keep their feet on the ground and do what they need to do on the battlefield.
"Let them assemble!" Shulka ordered.
"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Denisokov responded, and immediately ran forward to convey Shulka's order.
Soon, the new military camp was assembled.
Their faces exuded all the qualities that recruits should have: high energy, full of confidence, even though they were covered in mud, they were smiling...
Of course, this difficulty cannot erase their dream of becoming "heroes".
Shulka stood in front of them and asked, "Do you know me?"
"Yes, Comrade Shulka!"
"Of course, Comrade Shulka, we know you are a 'breakout hero'!"
…
"No!" Shulka interrupted them: "There are no heroes here, no 'breakout heroes'. I am just a captain and your commander. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Although the recruits didn't know what Shulka meant, they still answered in unison.
"I know!" Shulka continued: "Many of you are thinking about going to the battlefield to become a hero, making meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and becoming the object of praise! But you must be clear, before you become a hero
Before becoming a hero, you must first become a qualified soldier. And, are heroes any different from others? It will not be any different on the battlefield. They all only need one bullet or a piece of shrapnel, and then they will be the same.
You will lie on the ground moaning, waiting for others to come to help, or die in pain! Do you want this?"
"Yes, Comrade Shulka!"
"We are not afraid of sacrifice!"
"We are willing to dedicate our lives to our motherland!"
…
"Really?" Shulka raised his eyebrows and said, "Very good, then... everyone will be included and run around the training ground ten times!"
The recruits were a little confused. They didn't know where they answered wrong.
In other words, they were so accustomed to answering in this way that they didn't realize that Sulka's tone was obviously wrong.
Denisokov somewhat understood what Shulka meant, and looked at Shulka with doubtful eyes, wanting to ask but not daring to ask. (To be continued)
