Chapter 898 The Fourth Infantry Battalion

The battalions that have been contracted from various parts of Qiongbei and returned to Lingao are now undergoing restorative training-although the ten-month security war has given the troops a lot of experience in anti-guerrilla warfare, it is very important for the regularization of the army. unfavorable.The long-term scattered operations and duties have caused the troops to be loose in organization and discipline.In public security operations, many battalions perform tasks in units of platoons.

Veteran officers, whether new or old, are well aware of the problem of dispersed operations.The regular army should not engage in security warfare for too long, otherwise it will easily cause the overall quality to regress.At the beginning, the Japanese army implemented the cage policy in North China and set up strongholds everywhere. One squad here and four or five people there did curb the Eighth Route Army's combat operations for a while and attacked the base areas.But the result of the extreme dispersion of the troops was a lack of discipline and no training.By the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the individual quality and combat level of the North China Expeditionary Army had dropped significantly.

Local troops and militias should still be the main focus of public security warfare, and the regular army is the "heavy weapon."In order to solve the problem of local control, the General Staff commissioned Fu Sansi to set up a national army training team in Ma Niao.Young adults were conscripted from various counties in Hainan for training.Officers and non-commissioned officers are selected from the regular army.After the training camp, it will be configured according to the scale of one company in each county.Later, it will be expanded to the size of the three-in-one brigade.

The 4th Battalion did not receive the task of recovery training—except for the [-]th Battalion, which served as a security force in Qiongshan for a stage after the Battle of Chengmai, it has not been deployed in a dispersed manner, and has been staying in Ma Niao in a group deployment posture. There is no need for any additional restorative training—the training orders Zhu Mingxia received were to "strengthen physical training" and "immediately launch sea training for the whole camp".

From these two orders, Zhu Mingxia knew that his battalion was going to be drawn to participate in the engine operation.

Although the General Staff has not officially issued an order to him, the reason for requiring the entire battalion to participate in sea training is very clear:

Engine operations are all carried out in coastal areas. In order to ensure smooth population plunder, large-scale deployment of ground troops is required. In order to adapt to the new combat environment, the army must master the skills of quickly landing on the beach and get used to living on board for a long time and transferring at sea. At the same time adapt to the northern climate.

In the past, such amphibious operations were the exclusive province of the Navy.However, the scale and duration of the engine operation was too large for the sailors to undertake alone.Zhu Mingxia knew that the strength of the navy was also tense: the main force was transferred to Qiongnan to carry out the Qiongnan security war.One is connected to Hong Kong, and the other is connected to Vietnam.It is said that it is a battalion that can be drawn out to participate in engine operations, but in fact there are only 4 companies, which is only half of the Army infantry battalion.The Army will play a major role in this operation.

As for "strengthening physical training", it is not a simple order, but what comes with the order is the "special ration" given to the [-]th Battalion.From now on, the [-]th Infantry Battalion will be supplied with additional rations, which will contain more fat and protein.There was even a daily meat ration for the first time: the meat was neither pork nor beef, but chicken.Besides chicken, the agricultural sector has not yet been able to supply naturalized people with meat from other land animals in bulk.

From this point of view, the General Staff obviously hoped to make the No. [-] "stronger" to be able to overcome the low temperature weather encountered during the northward operation.

Being able to participate in the engine operation is a great opportunity for him, although the veteran officer will be able to mix with an admiral, a marshal or something sooner or later--last time at the South Sea Cafe, some people suggested that the admiral should have a general , Deputy Marshal, Head Marshal, Marshal and so on, there are too many levels that are not set up to show the greatness of the empire and the mighty military power of the Fubo Army.

But being promoted based on military merit is much better than being promoted based on veteran qualifications.Besides, besides military rank, seniority in the army is also very important. "How many years have you been in the army" is not a general question.Whoever is promoted to a higher rank first means that he has greater say and decision-making power in many matters.The stronger the influence and the power of the hill in the army.

He was thinking about the military training courses that would start tomorrow-he went to the General Staff Office a few days ago and communicated with several major officers about the new courses that need to be opened for targeted training.Especially how to implement the subjects of sea training.

Zhu Mingxia himself was not born in the Marine Corps, and he lacked knowledge and experience in amphibious combat training. The particularity of the Fubo Army prevented its training from completely copying the training manuals of the old time and space.Shi Zhiqi of the Marine Corps is currently the person with the most experience in commanding amphibious operations in actual combat. Having his first-hand information will be of great help.

The problem is that Shi Zhiqi is currently in Hong Kong as his garrison commander.It is a little troublesome to ask him for advice.After much deliberation, it would be more appropriate to ask Xue Ziliang for advice.Although he did not command the Marine Corps in this time and space, he was a member of the US Marine Corps in the old time and space, and he was considered an experienced professional.Moreover, he was familiar with Xue Ziliang.On weekdays, I often go to chat with him and ask him some professional questions.

He usually pays special attention to the communication with other officers - especially Bei Wei and Xue Ziliang.In my spare time, I spend a lot of time learning military skills from these two.In his opinion, Beiwei and Chevini represent the level of elite soldiers in China and the United States. Although he is also from an elite army, he is still quite far from them.

Tactical literacy, military theory, there are too many places that I need to recharge.Especially Xue Ziliang, many of the training methods, weapon use theories and combat techniques he has mastered are unique in this time and space.And has practical experience.He felt it was a pity to leave such a person in the Special Investigation Command.No matter how strong the special investigation team is, it is only a small unit, and it cannot play a decisive role on the battlefield.

He also borrowed various materials from the platoon party to study the strategy and tactics of the platoon era.Although this was scoffed at by many old-fashioned schools, in his view, it was responsible for the lives of soldiers.Fight with what equipment you have, don't be advanced, and don't be funny, this is his military training principle.

Zhu Mingxia picked up the hand crank phone on the table, shook it three times and connected to the switchboard:

"Receive the special investigation team headquarters."

Xue Ziliang's current official position is the deputy captain of the special investigation team and the captain of the directly subordinate unit. When he is not performing missions and training, he is always in the headquarters at the gate of Bairen City.

The call was connected quickly, but Xue Ziliang was not in the office.His female orderly reported: "Captain Xue led the team out for training."

"You tell him: Zhu Mingxia has something to look for him. Ask him to make a call when he comes back."

After speaking, he hung up the phone, and shook the handle twice to cancel the call.

"Should I buy myself a female orderly?" Looking at the soldiers in twos and threes in the camp, Zhu Mingxia began to think about his personal problems.Ever since the General Office and the Military Affairs Tribunal jointly issued the notice that the life secretary of a veteran officer can be replaced as a veteran orderly, Zhu Mingxia has been considering this issue while planning the purpose of the training course.

Now there are not many maids left who have not been sold in the maid school.Most are below C level.For the time being, the general office has not added new maid resources.Most of the veterans who did not buy maids decided to wait: as soon as the engine operation started, they could import a large number of girls from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong, which are more in line with the aesthetic taste of the veterans.Or just wait until the action is over and choose another one.

At this time, the two soldiers passing by the window attracted his attention, and the content of their discussion made him frown together.

"Have you heard, the sea training is about to start. I heard that troops will be transferred from the navy to join us for joint training—to be our coaches!"

"I really don't want to train with this group of salted fish. Do you remember that fight? Those sailors were too arrogant. They even dared to fight people in the garrison battalion. What did they say that the army bullied the navy? Bah! A group of lawless pirates , When did we bully them?"

"That's right, I heard from someone last time that the Marine Corps said that we don't need to exist, so let's just disband. Okay, then they will go over the mountains to suppress the bandits."

"I think we are old hats, and they are not from good people. Many are either Danhu or pirates. They step on the boards of the boat with bare feet and are not allowed to go ashore..."

Hearing this, Zhu Mingxia couldn't sit still.He got up and walked around the office a few times.First changed the shoes, and then called the messenger to give the order for emergency assembly.

The rapid drumming of the emergency assembly resounded throughout the camp.Today is a rest day, and cultural and political studies have ended again. After playing sports, many soldiers took a shower and were doing laundry.

Hearing the sound of the drum, the soldiers immediately threw the washbasin aside, threw away their clothes, and ran to the barracks quickly.Soon, at the assembly point of each company, there were fully dressed soldiers and began to form a team. At one time, "one, two, three, four", "two one, two two", "full five!" various counting sounds were heard endlessly.After the companies assembled, the officer on duty took them to the battalion assembly point, and the orderly stood behind Zhu Mingxia to record the time when each company assembled.

"Report to the battalion commander! The 6th company of the battle infantry, the assembly is complete, please give instructions!" Five minutes and six seconds later, the last company came.

"The whole battalion is armed with guns but no ammunition. The time limit is 26 minutes for five kilometers with full armor. For the sixth company, if you exceed the specified time by 6 seconds, and if you are less than 10 seconds, you will be fined by one kilometer. Start!"

"Light infantry company, run—go."

"Grenadier Company, run—go."

"Battle infantry company, run - walk."

……

Taking advantage of the gap between the companies taking away, Zhu Mingxia turned around and told the messenger: "Old rule, inform the kitchen that the company that arrives last has no meat for tomorrow's dinner, and give all their meat to the company that arrived first." After finishing speaking Finally, he straightened his belt and quickly followed the troops.
