Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1283 Special Food Subsidy
Therefore, the training of the Airborne Forces has been intensive from the very beginning.

The training of the commanders is particularly difficult, because they have to complete the same training as the soldiers, and then find time to learn to command while the soldiers sleep.

The reason for this is that in parachute operations, there is no distinction between commanders and ordinary soldiers. All of them are treated equally and have to march... This is determined by the distance after the parachute. In reality, it doesn't matter whether you are a commander or not. It is the company commander who will parachute you to the vicinity of the target.

This allows the commander to rest and sleep for only four or five hours a day.

The hardest one must be the company commander. After all, he has to learn both command and open space coordination. It would be good to have four hours of sleep a day.

Soldiers generally guarantee six hours of sleep... There is no assault training during sleep, which is not necessary for the airborne troops.

Because the airborne troops are active in combat, they parachute to the enemy-controlled area to attack the enemy after they are ready, and they are rarely attacked by the enemy while sleeping.

High-intensity training is accompanied by a high standard of food.

This is Wang Xuexin's request.

Because if the food cannot keep up and this level of training is maintained, it is very likely that the soldiers who have not yet entered the battlefield have already collapsed.

Without thinking too much, Wang Xuexin sent a telegram to the headquarters requesting special food subsidies for the airborne troops.

At the beginning, the chief thought it was just food for the airborne troops, so he replied: "It's no problem how much it can cost. Of course, if you want to train elite soldiers, you can't make them hungry!"

The chief thought to himself: Although our Eighth Route Army is poor, it is still no problem to support this 2000-strong army.

But Wang Xuexin immediately proposed: "Every person will add a catty of rice and a catty of cabbage every day, and the whole group will add a pig every day!"

The chief was stunned when he saw this request.

The first two problems are not serious. Each person adds a catty of rice and a catty of cabbage every day, and the whole group is more than 2000 catties of rice and more than 2000 catties of cabbage. It is still affordable to bite the bullet.

But one pig per day... After several months of training, can't you eat hundreds of pigs?
The chief replied: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, you also know the situation of the army. It is not easy for every army now. It is rare for soldiers to eat a bite of pork during the Chinese New Year, but the airborne troops are required to eat pork every day. Isn't this a little too much?"

"Chief!" Wang Xuexin called back: "First of all, the airborne troops have high physical requirements. Without enough fat and protein, it is difficult to ensure the high-intensity training of the soldiers and then play a role on the battlefield. They are different from the mechanized troops. The mechanized troops It's on four wheels, and they're on two legs!"

After thinking about it, the chief thought it made sense.

Although marching depends on willpower, if nutrition is strengthened materially on the basis of the same willpower, does that mean faster marching speed and stronger combat effectiveness?
In this regard, it is impossible to "don't feed the horse and want the horse to run"!

But the chief didn't rush to agree, he asked again: "What else?"

"Secondly!" Wang Xuexin continued: "During this period of training, the airborne troops found that many fighters were incompetent. After we eliminate them, we need more and better sources of troops to supplement the troops..."

So the chief understood that this guy, Xiaobei, wanted to seduce "pork" of course.

This trick is really useful.

Because as the chief said, it is rare for ordinary troops to eat a bite of pork even during the Chinese New Year, but in the airborne troops, they can eat meat every day... This is for the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are always half-starved from eating sweet potato porridge. It is unimaginable, it is simply their dream life.

Sure enough, when Wang Xuexin intentionally released the news, it immediately caused a sensation among various troops, and thousands of people immediately signed up to join the airborne regiment.

What Wang Xuexin has to do is to constantly weed out soldiers whose physical fitness cannot keep up with the training rhythm... Although Wang Xuexin does not want to do this, fighting is not a child's play, and poor physical fitness on the battlefield may affect the marching speed of the entire army , considering the combat effectiveness of the whole regiment, they must be eliminated.

The most basic requirement for those selected is to have a certain physical foundation.

In this regard, to be precise, it should be in "these" aspects, the airborne troops of Yingjiang are obviously unqualified.

Because the Eagle Sauce Airborne Troops are converted directly with the entire unit.

For example, the 82nd Airborne Division, its predecessor was the 82nd Infantry Division.

The 101st Airborne Division, formerly the 82nd Motorized Rifle Division.

Using a complete reorganization of the troops means that they have not implemented the elimination system in terms of physical fitness, which means they must be weak. If the troops still maintain the establishment and even equipment of the infantry division, it means that they still have not done well in a certain way. Preparations for being broken up after the airborne.

Captain Derek's side, as they say, has only been conducting parachuting training for the airborne troops of the Eighth Route Army.

At first, I used a high platform to skydive, that is, I didn’t use an airplane. Instead, I found a cliff with a relatively gentle wind, and then built a wooden platform on it that protruded more than ten meters from the cliff. I practiced skydiving here every day.

The reason why we have to protrude more than ten meters is because we are worried that the students will not grasp the timing of opening the parachute because they are beginners. The moment the parachute is opened, they will be blown into the cliff by the wind or the parachute will be caught by the stone hook on the cliff, causing unnecessary accidents. casualties.

This highland with an altitude of more than 500 meters was called "Skydiving Mountain" by the Eighth Route Army, and the cliff was also named "Skydiving Cliff".

Soldiers of the Eighth Route Army climbed the mountain with their equipment every day, which became part of their physical training.

Derek and a group of instructors were stationed directly on the mountain, and soldiers from the Eighth Route Army brought them supplies every day.

This is actually Wang Xuexin's deliberate intention. The name is "to facilitate the instructor's teaching, and you don't need to go up and down the mountain every day!" In fact, Wang Xuexin doesn't want Derek and others to interfere...

To be precise, they don't want Derek and others to know the training plan of the Eighth Route Army.

The reason why he is so guarded against the instructors like Yingjiang is because Wang Xuexin knows that the commander of Yingjiang's 82nd Airborne Division is Li Qiwei.

This guy is not an ordinary person. He will invent "magnetic tactics" on the battlefield of the Volunteers in the future, that is, he will always keep a distance from the Volunteers but "stick" to the Volunteers until seven days later when the Volunteers' supplies are exhausted, they will launch a counterattack.

This tactic caused a lot of trouble for the Volunteers.

Wang Xuexin thought, if Li Qiwei knows more advanced and mature parachute tactics at this time, will this guy Li Qiwei pose a greater threat to the volunteers in the future?
It didn't take long for Wang Xuexin to realize that he was wrong in this regard.
