Chapter 2149 Training ([-])

This set is not new to soldiers, and strict military laws are the characteristics of the medieval army. "17 bans and 54 beheadings" has a long history, and almost everything must be "beheaded".Even for a famous general like Qi Jiguang who controls the army well, the military orders are very strict.

However, strict military discipline and whether it can be enforced are two different things.In particular, the Ming army in the Pearl River Delta area they incorporated was regarded as an army that had been at peace for a long time at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it was inevitable that they would suffer from "laziness".There are also many people who are actually from the guards and have never been soldiers. They say they are soldiers, but they are actually farmers.

This sonorous, powerful and murderous readout of the instruction immediately made many soldiers with mud legs "shudder".

But for someone like Yang Erdong who has been in the army for a long time, there is nothing special about this order.If there is any difference, it is that the instructions of the Australians are simpler and even softer than the military laws of Ming Dynasty.After all, the entire instruction did not mention a word "cut".To be in the official army, every time you promote military discipline, you must add a bloody "kill" or "cut".In order to impress the soldiers, it is usually necessary to kill a few unlucky people on the spot and hang up the bloody heads for everyone to see.

After the training, the formal training begins.

Most of the people in this national army brigade have received about two weeks of training in Hong Kong.However, the two-week training period also includes physical examination, political education, physical training and basic discipline development, and there is not much time actually used for training.Let alone go to war, this kind of army is not at ease even if it has a lot of money to defend the city, and it is a little anxious

Qian Duo now divides the national army brigade into two parts. One part is soldiers who have received two weeks of training in Hong Kong. They have initially received discipline and formation training, so the training focuses on tactical development, including firearm shooting. , cold weapon fighting and battle formation changes.

As for the soldiers recruited temporarily before departure and those recruited locally in Wuzhou, they had to start from scratch.

The team was divided into two parts, each rushed to the playground to start training.During the drill, each squadron is used as a unit, and each squadron is equipped with ten instructors in a ratio of one to ten.The instructors are all first class soldiers and sergeants of the Fubo Army.Not to mention how rich his combat experience is, he has been in the army for at least two years, and he has been trained to memorize all kinds of rules and formations.

Because Yang Erdong was recruited locally, he was naturally included in the team of "all-trained recruits".

The content of the training is first of all the queue. Everyone remembers their position in the team, and when they gather, they line up quickly-this is too difficult: people who remember the front, back, left, and right will quickly stand up.Then the instructor began to practice "stand at attention", "look to the right" and other simple commands, and did not issue any new instructions, just holding a three-foot-long white wooden army stick with his hands behind his back, and a small team circled around as a unit go in circles.Some people probed their brains, scratched their hands, and were immediately beaten.

"If you don't hear the new password, no one is allowed to move!" The instructors shouted fiercely, waving sticks.People who served as soldiers for the hypocrisy call this method "killing power sticks", in order to teach this gang of mobs to obey.

This stop is an hour.Everyone who dared to move in the middle was beaten.Some people were weak, bent over and vomited all over the floor while standing, and were beaten when they turned around; After a mess of beatings, they went back to the queue and waited until it was over. Only those who fainted could escape the beating-dragged to the side and poured a basin of cold water on their heads.

Yang Erdong is "well-informed", and he knew from this posture that the Australians were "real". He didn't even dare to take a peek, and could only let the screams go in his left ear and out in his right ear.After half an hour, the torture was considered to be over.

After resting for half a stick of incense, "Stand Attention" followed. The instructors appointed temporary squad leaders and non-commissioned officers, so that everyone could remember their faces. After teaching them how to salute, they stretched their shoulder badges and announced : When seeing people with armbands in the future, those who don't salute will be punished with ten military sticks and punished by squatting for two hours.This time they stood until dinner before disbanding, and the whole squadron of the worst-performing squad had to continue standing until the end of lunch, and they were not allowed to eat until everyone had finished eating.

Lunch is eaten on the playground, white rice and chowder paste are enough.The chowder paste was carried to the playground one by one in large tin buckets. It was steaming and fragrant, but it seemed that it had no appetite.Yang Erdong took a bite with his eyes closed: the taste is not bad, but it feels like there is meat in it - no one can tell what is there.

After lunch, after a short rest, we started training in the afternoon.The training in the afternoon was the queue training again—this is when the test really began: the instructors all spoke "Newspeak", while the soldiers spoke their own dialects. If there is any common language among them, it is Cantonese Mandarin .

Except for a few "well-informed" soldiers-such as Yang Erdong, who can understand "official Chinese", so he can barely understand "Newspeak" by [-] to [-]%-most soldiers hear "Newspeak" with Almost foreign language.

In this way, the afternoon drill becomes a brutal listening exercise.The instructors only give orders in Newspeak, and there are at most some physical orders. Once they understand the mistakes, they will be "spiritually injected" by the army sticks.

The passwords are hard to understand, and there are so many rules and regulations. Although there is a "Soldier Handbook", most soldiers are illiterate and cannot remember it at all.As a result, they were beaten at every turn on the training ground, and while being beaten, they had to repeat their crimes loudly-and they had to read in Newspeak, and they would also be beaten if they did not read up to standard.Everyone has been beaten up a lot and summed up their experience.Generally speaking, anyone who is not ordered to do it is not allowed to do it, and whoever does it will be punished with a military stick.

Go back to the dormitory at night—the dormitory of the new training squadron is located in the "Three Presidents' Mansion". The empty hall is covered with hay to shelter from wind and rain.For Qiu Ba, who lives in the open all year round, it's a good place to stay - everyone's legs are too stiff to bend back, and their bodies hurt everywhere.One by one, they barely climbed onto the grass to rest.

"The beatings I received this day are more than the combined beatings I received in 20 years..." Lipton slowly moved and sat on the straw mat, grinning and complaining.He is also a descendant of Wuzhou.

"Fortunately, this Australian master used a thin wooden stick to beat people. If it was replaced by an officer of Ming Dynasty, he would have been beaten to death today..."

"Let's not talk about the army stick, it can blow the flesh away!" A soldier said, "I saw it once in the early years, and the pieces of meat the size of a palm flew up to the flagpole, and the bones were exposed... too much Crap."

"Being a soldier and eating food is not a hard job anywhere! Who told us that our horoscope is not good!" Someone sighed, "I died when I was 15 years old, so I had to come out to serve as a soldier and eat food. I don’t know what is going on at home until now, old lady Is it okay..."

"What's the matter, your mother found you a new father..."

"Fart your mother!" This side was about to make a move, but was immediately pulled away again.

"The beating is not enough, you are going to give away the head?!" Yang Erdong persuaded, "What time is it now! The Australians are so fucking wishing you to mess around so that he can kill people and sacrifice flags."

"What Brother Er Dong said is true. Everyone is Pao Ze, so stop booing."

"Australians are fierce, and they don't kill people randomly. They eat well! I don't know how many days this Australian food can last!"

"It's not easy to eat food? If you can't eat Australian food, then you can eat Daming food..."

"You don't want to die!" An older veteran scolded, "Don't die!"

While talking, suddenly someone shouted outside: "You guys! Don't lie down and stand up, get up and burn your feet!"

"Forget you, old X," Lipton muttered in a low voice unconsciously, "the day's tossing is not over yet!"

"Forget it, people are under the eaves. We are eating Australian food now, so we have to submit to him." Others persuaded, got up from the straw bunk one by one, and limped outside.

Standing outside was Li Dong, the squadron leader. He had served in the Fubo Army for two years and was later found to have flat feet.According to the soldiers of the new training squadron, Li Squadron Captain is a bit too young, so he is "too tender".But today they have been "fucked hard" by Li Dong all day, and no one dares to say that he is "tender".

"After the training is over, all the staff have to wash their hands and burn their feet." He glanced at the scattered soldiers, "You guys! In pairs, go to the kitchen to get hot water, and you guys, go to the supply place to get wooden basins!"

Under the supervision of the officers and instructors, the entire new training squadron washes and scalds their feet, then soaks them.Scalding feet helps to relieve fatigue, picking bubbles helps to walk - this is all known to soldiers, but it is difficult to have this condition in the camp on weekdays: neither wooden basins nor hot water are readily available s things.Sometimes the luck is not good, even if you can't drink water, how can you burn your feet!
The Australians are good. Not only do they care about hot feet, but they still have one wooden basin for each person. After sending it out, they asked the soldiers to engrave their names on the basin-Yang Erdong thought this was too extravagant. There are three or four hundred people.At first glance, this wooden basin is not locally produced, and most of it was transported from Lingao by Australians.

No wonder the old men say that Australians act "luxury" and "trivial".

"Once the words are engraved, it will belong to your personal custody! The wooden basins must not be mixed or borrowed, otherwise, once found, it will be punished as a violation of discipline! Lost and damaged must be reported truthfully!"

After finishing the order, the instructors did not leave, and supervised by themselves.Until everyone has cleaned up their personal hygiene, they will check in person again, unambiguously.

Dinner is mixed vegetable porridge, which tastes the same as the mixed vegetable at noon, except that rice is added to it for cooking.After eating, everyone thought they could just let it go, but Li Dong announced the start of "cultural learning" again.
