Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1282 Training Subjects
After Wang Xuexin gave these general directions, the training became much simpler.

Many things are actually like this. If the training direction is wrong, or you need to fumble and verify between right and wrong, it will waste a lot of time and the training results are not satisfactory.

For example, Yingjiang trained paratroopers. Before that, they had no idea. They found out that paratroopers were needed on the battlefield... There were many battlefields where Yingchan needed paratroopers. This was determined by the difficulty of landing operations at that time.

This does not mean targeting devils on the Pacific battlefield.

There is an easier way for Yingjiang to attack the island where the devils are stationed on the Pacific battlefield: that is to use artillery to bombard the island where the devils are located back and forth several times, and then they can easily land on the island without paratroopers.

But the situation is different when facing Hans.

Hans usually has large-caliber coastal defense guns, submarines, and aircraft. The coastline is also covered with sand mines, and the beach is full of various mines, obstacles, and bunkers.

In Yingchan's battle against Hans' landing, it is very likely that the warships will be threatened by enemy artillery fire and have to retreat. At this time, Hans's ground troops will launch a counterattack and drive Yingchan's landing troops back to the sea... Yingchan must not let this happen occur, or suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, it is necessary to use airborne troops in the landing battle against Hans, and it is still a large-scale use of airborne troops.

These airborne troops can form a two-sided attack on Hans with the landing force and tear apart its defense line to win the battle.

However, Eagle Sauce has no experience in using airborne troops and no tactical theory in this regard, so its airborne troops have been in the state of "infantry who can parachute" for quite a long time.

This led to its unsatisfactory performance in airborne operations, such as the attack on Sicily, the Normandy landing, and the Market Garden operation...

Eagle sauce airborne troops need to be honed in war, summing up experience from repeated failures and mistakes, and it will take decades to form a complete tactical theory and train qualified airborne troops.

Wang Xuexin is different.

What he gave the Eighth Route Army was modern airborne combat thinking. Going straight to the subject has been confirmed to be the correct and effective training method, and the intermediate training and growth links are omitted. Of course, the effect is different.

It is also because of this that Wang Xuexin rejected Captain Derek's "good intentions" at the first time... It is impossible for him to hand over the airborne troops of the Eighth Route Army to the Yingjiang paratroopers who know nothing about airborne operations and are just a "captain" to train.

What makes Wang Xuexin speechless is that Captain Derek actually regards Wang Xuexin's behavior as "arrogant", and seems to believe that the Eighth Route Army Airborne Troops will pay the price for this in future operations. They are also waiting to see the Eighth Route Army Airborne Troops The "good show".

Of course Wang Xuexin would not pay attention to what these ignorant people thought.

Wang Xuexin believes that his time is precious, and every minute and every second of his dedication may prevent the Eighth Route Army soldiers from being injured or even sacrificed.

Therefore, if time is wasted on those who are worthless, the practice itself has lost.

After the training method was finalized, Wang Xuexin then drew up a detailed training plan with Wang Shuheng:
First of all: the military rank system is necessary, which determines whether the troops can be quickly organized to form combat effectiveness.

Parachute combat is sometimes like dropping a pieced together toy from the sky. It will definitely fall apart and scatter all over the ground. The military rank system is whether you can quickly piece this toy together with a thread, an invisible thread.

The second is the training of commanders, and the content of training for commanders at each level is different.

The regiment and battalion commander basically remains unchanged. If there is any change, he will teach his own command experience and command principles to the company and platoon leader during training.

Because as I said before, the company commander of the airborne troops must almost reach the command level of the regiment commander, and the platoon leader must almost reach the command level of the company commander.

Then you can let the regimental commander teach the company commander how to command on the battlefield, and let the battalion commander train the platoon leader as a company commander.

The squad leader's training is directly handed over to the company commander...the reason is that there are too many squad leaders, and it is obvious that it can be completed in a short time by handing it over to the regiment and battalion commander.

Therefore, the job of the regiment and battalion commander is more before the battle, that is, to train a qualified command team. If anyone is incompetent, they need to pick a suitable person from the army to take the top.

When the real battle starts, that is, when parachuting into the enemy-controlled area, the regiment and battalion commander belongs to the role of "it's better to have it, and it's okay to not have it".

The training and training of company commanders is the most rigorous, because they are the backbone of the battlefield.

In addition to mastering command upgrades, their military quality requirements have also increased accordingly:

In order to ensure that the company commander survives as much as possible on the battlefield and directs the battle, they are required to master the essentials of skydiving almost perfectly... If they are injured during the skydiving, it will become a burden for the troops and they will not be able to better command the battle.

In addition, they are required to have good physical fitness, because they have to rush to the destination quickly with the soldiers.

In addition, the burden of air-ground coordination also falls on the shoulders of the company commander.

This is impossible, because only at the company commander level can we know which ammunition is missing and which point to airdrop, or which position needs to be bombed to cooperate with the troops to attack.

In short, the requirements of the airborne troops for the company commander can almost be described by the word "all-round". It not only requires the ability to command the troops from a strategic level like the regimental commander, but also requires top-notch military qualities to become a role model and role model for subordinates... Ordinary troops The requirements for the company commander are also high, but they are more inclined to the latter.

Relatively speaking, the requirements of the platoon leader are much lower. They are required to be able to command small units to fight against the enemy.

The squad leader's requirement is mainly to deal with the enemy, save strength and move closer to friendly forces, because at this time they often do not have the strength to fight the enemy head-on.

Relatively speaking, the squad leader has the lowest requirements, because what they do is actually similar to "guerrilla warfare".

But if you think about it in detail, even the company commanders of ordinary troops may not be able to grasp the essence of "guerrilla warfare", but now the squad leader is required to know... This is undoubtedly a high standard.

The requirements for the soldiers are to be proficient in skydiving, the use of burst rifles, random organization of combat units according to the military rank system, physical training, etc. within a few months.

Especially physical training.

The reason is that it is basically impossible for the airborne troops to land directly on the target position without deviation at all, so the first thing they do after landing is to rush to the target position with all their equipment on their backs, and they still need to march in a hurry or even require a forced march... There is no strong force Physical ability can't do it at all.
