I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar

Chapter 387 New recruits?

On the night when the plan was formulated, Peng Xucheng booked the earliest flight to Indonesia.

This is the execution ability of Dongfeng Group. In this group that was born out of the mercenary group, there will never be lengthy meetings and complicated decision-making processes. Things that are determined can be immediately sent to the execution level.

For the sake of safety, Peng Xucheng acted as the first guinea pig and used Bao Xiaomei's new connections to go to Yunnan, and then boarded the plane with a Bagan passport in Yunnan and took off.

Everything went smoothly. By the time Chen Chen finished handling Tachileik's affairs and arrived in Mengka, Peng Xucheng had already arrived in Indonesia and was ready to carry out his first mission.

That is, get the plane back.

Air superiority is a crushing presence on any battlefield. Currently, I only have one helicopter and my air superiority is completely insufficient. But if there are three fixed-wing aircraft to provide fire support in the air, it will basically be enough.

Therefore, Chen Chen still attaches great importance to this matter.

In fact, Peng Xucheng's handling was quite smooth.

On the night after arriving in Indonesia, he reached a new agreement with Yu Bin, borrowed the foreign trade relationship of Yu Bin's company to confirm the export order, and quickly began to arrange export matters, and decided to export parts and spare parts through Laos. Transported to Pubei.

The reason why the whole aircraft is not transported is mainly to bypass the procedures such as airworthiness certificate, radio license and so on.

Such an operation would not be feasible in any country with a complete aircraft management system, but fortunately Pubei is not among this group, so the operation is not difficult.

What Chen Chen has to do is to make all preparations, find pilots and weapons operators, and ensure that the plane can fly after it arrives.

In fact, unlike what many people think, the operating threshold for fixed-wing aircraft, especially small fixed-wing aircraft, is much lower than that of helicopters. Seaplanes are slightly more complicated, but not much more complicated.

Therefore, Chen Chen basically did not encounter many difficulties in choosing pilots.

There was no need to even go through Xiaoyu. Lao Zhu mobilized his contacts and found six mercenaries with rich flying experience near Tachilei. Once the plane arrived, they could all be in place at the same time.

This matter was completed successfully, and after Chen Chen returned to Mengka, he began to inspect and assign new recruits.

Accompanied by Jackal, he visited the newly built training base in Mengka.

As soon as he walked into the gate of the base, Chen Chen immediately felt a familiar feeling.

"You just copied this barracks and these facilities without making any changes."

Chen Chen said dumbfounded.

"What needs to be changed? This is the most scientific layout. There is no need to change it."

"Look, although these people you recruited are all veterans, I dare say that not everyone is 100% qualified in basics, so I have reserved the basic training area, and this area is the largest of."

"After all, they have retired for a while. According to my training schedule, after entering the camp, everyone needs to go through a week of recovery training. Only those who can pass can enter the next stage of training."

"Of course, I am just a service provider and have no right to decide whether personnel should go or stay, but I will truthfully report the training situation to Lao Zhu and let him make the decision."

"You must have received requests for instructions before, right? How was it? Did it work reasonably?"

Chen Chen nodded slightly, and then said:

"Third-party evaluation is indeed more reasonable - but can you please not use the word 'request for instructions' in the future?"

"Why can't it be used?"

"Because it has a royal feel."

Jackal scratched his head inexplicably. He didn't seem to understand the difference between "consult" and "advice", but Chen Chen didn't bother to explain it to him and just continued to move forward to visit other advanced training facilities.

A large-scale CQB facility was built in the Mengka camp, and in order to adapt to the combat environment of the Dongfeng Corps, the entire CQB module was divided into a total of five parts, each part having different architectural features.

Ordinary urban buildings, ordinary courtyard buildings, scattered buildings in villages, jungle camps, and mud-brick structures with Middle Eastern characteristics.

At this time, two teams were conducting confrontation exercises in the courtyard-style building. The attackers were new recruits, and the defenders were a three-man team from Chaisili.

Chen Chen watched with interest for a while, and then discovered that his recruits were indeed lacking in CQB skills.

The throwing objects were not used skillfully, the steps were not smooth, and the angle cutting lines were too stiff, which made Chen Chen frown.

It only took 30 seconds from the beginning to the end of the battle, and the entire attacking force was wiped out.

The instructor standing aside looked calm. After simply pointing out the problem, he ordered the attackers to return to their positions and start organizing the attack again.

Chen Chen watched for five minutes. The attackers played 9 times. The intensity was at full strength and there was no time for review and summary.

"What's going on?"

Chen Chen asked.

“Muscle memory training.”

Jackal answered calmly, and then continued:

"The review will be placed after the fast-paced training. The main thing now is to let them get a feel for it."

"This kind of training method is very effective. You have to know that a day ago, this team could only hold on for 10 seconds, and they would lose if they entered the goal."

"But now, they have been able to defeat one or two defenders and hold on for more than 30 seconds."

After hearing Jackal's words, Chen Chen nodded thoughtfully, which was regarded as basic approval.

But in his heart, he still felt that he had not done enough.

So, he walked near the venue and planned to test it himself.

The CQB instructor is Big Bird. When he saw Chen Chen coming over, he stood at attention with a snap, and his prosthetic limbs made a clanging sound.

"Hello, chief! Please review it, chief!"

After the words fell, Chen Chen was stunned.

".Speak nicely. How is the situation now?"

Hearing Chen Chen's words, Big Bird chuckled, and then replied:

"Captain, I am keeping pace with the times."

"Now we are all called "sir" and "chief", and we will certainly not make an exception for you."

"The situation is not bad, and the training results are still there, but to be honest, the current recruits are too crafty and not flexible enough."

"I'm still thinking of a way - I might take them out for a fight later to get a feel for them."

This is indeed a problem.

You must know that this group of new soldiers are basically recruited from the north, and the soldiers who retire at this point in time basically have one characteristic.

That is:

All their training is in preparation for "large-scale combat."

They don't need to learn any overly refined close combat tactics, but focus more on large-scale group operations.

In this case, the focus of soldiers fighting is not how to use their flexibility and initiative, but to maximize their obedience and be a screw on the battlefield.

Their tactical movements tend to be more rigid and fixed, while CQB is most taboo with rigid combat scenes. It's normal for them to not be able to adapt to it for a while.

To change this situation, we must rely on high-intensity training.

So-called muscle memory training is one of the methods.

When Chen Chen transferred to special operations, he also went through this process.

——

However, what really changed his thinking was another training method, the so-called Module D training method.

This thing was born out of the U.S. Army Special Forces SFQC course. Its core idea is to allow soldiers to fully understand the mission plan and mission execution process of special operations through extensive trial and error and free decision-making, and to repeatedly strengthen the effect through actual exercises and continuously provide correct feedback, and ultimately achieve the purpose of quickly changing combat thinking.

To put it in simple language, the core of this training method is actually only one, that is, free play.

When Chen Chen participated in this training, the concept of AI was not yet mature, but looking back now, the training in Module D actually treats people as AI, without presetting any tactics or giving any guidance. After the skills and basic theories have matured, throw people onto the battlefield and let them perform freely.

In this way, the subjective initiative of all participants will be released to the maximum, and their understanding of tactics will quickly rise from "commands and rules" to the level of "principles and choices".

But now, these new recruits have obviously reached the standards for practicing Module D.

So, Chen Chen spoke decisively and said to Big Bird:

"In the future, an hour of free organization will be added to the daily training. During this link, you should not preset any combat scenarios or give any guidance."

"The only goal is to eliminate the enemies in the room at any cost."

"Regardless of whether the task can be completed or not, review and summary will be conducted after the one-hour training - let them summarize on their own."

"At the same time, video equipment should be introduced to let them watch their own videos and find problems on their own."

"clear!"

Big Bird answered immediately, and without wasting much time, announced the order directly to the team members, and the first Module D training began immediately.

After hearing his words, the six offensive players standing outside the CQB training area looked at each other.

In the past few days, they have actually only done one thing, and that is to train routines non-stop.

What about cutting corners, moving positions, breaking goals, cutting cover, changing hands, shutting down?

Their minds are already filled with theories, but in reality, what they can use is extremely limited.

But now, the commander suddenly allowed them to play freely, and for a moment, they were even a little at a loss what to do.

"Report!"

someone in the crowd shouted.

Big Bird nodded, and the man continued to ask:

"Is it okay to use any method?"

"Anything is possible, but we can only rely on existing equipment."

"clear!"

Big Bird answered decisively, and after hearing his words, the person who asked the question immediately took action.

He was obviously the captain of this team. After a brief communication, the team re-arranged their tactics and prepared for battle outside the door.

They still use standard formations and standard personnel arrangements.

From this point of view alone, their tactics don't seem to have changed much.

Seeing this scene, Jackal shook his head and said:

"I originally thought that the soldiers in the north were all the same as you, but now it seems that you are you and others are others. There is a big difference."

"These people haven't realized their core weakness - it's not a matter of basic skills, but a matter of reaction speed and tactical breadth."

"Although the CQB battlefield is small, the situation is ever-changing, and a small detail can completely change the situation of the battle."

"Even if the defender has only one change in the firing sequence, you have to come up with at least three sets of response plans to properly complete the disposal."

"At this point, they are far behind you."

"Who knows? We'll see."

Chen Chen replied noncommittally.

Of course Jackal was right, but Chen Chen also had great confidence in these new recruits.

He doesn't think these people are just "idiots" who are just following the rules. He has already clarified the conditions for free movement. If they still remain unchanged, then he might as well eliminate them all.

At this time, the attacker's actions had already begun.

According to the standard CQB goal-breaking position, 6 people completed the goal-breaking, skillfully used throwing objects, and then skillfully entered the building, and skillfully wiped out the entire army after 30 seconds.

"It seems it still doesn't work."

Big Bird standing aside shook his head in disappointment.

But at this time, Jackal and Chen Chen's eyes had already lit up.

"Very strong."

Jackal said with emotion.

"That's right, the response was quick."

"Yes, this idea is very correct. I take back what I just said."

Jackal breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"They think differently than you do, but they also found another solution."

"Yes, this plan is more suitable for them."

"Yes, not everyone can reach your level of active thinking and knowledge reserve. This is the most secure and effective solution."

"Let me just say, they won't disappoint."

"Indeed. How many more times do you think it will take them to defeat them?"

"I don't know, they're catching the defender's mistakes."

Listening to the exchange between Chen Chen and Jackal, Big Bird's head was filled with question marks.

What is strong?

What is the appropriate solution?

Isn't this the simplest and most standard set of offensive procedures?

What's changed? !

He didn't have time to ask any more questions, because at this time, the players on both sides had returned to their positions and were ready for the second battle.

Break the door, throw objects to close the dangerous corner on the right, break in, expand, and annihilate the entire army.

48 seconds.

Big Bird finally understood what the attacking team was doing.

They're slowing down.

The most taboo thing in CQB combat is slowing down, but that also depends on the situation.

If you are not skilled in coordination and have insufficient tacit understanding, slowing down is the most correct way to play!

There is a classic judgment in CQB called "slow is smooth, smooth is fast". Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

And these offensive players directly found the essence without anyone mentioning this point of view to them.

To be precise, they are not slowing down, but dismantling the movements.

Compared with the last attack, their unskilled goal-breaking movements were slowed down. After the goal was broken, they reorganized and fine-tuned their positions.

But on the contrary, the thrusting action is accelerated due to the adjustment of the stance, which reduces the exposure time of the death hourglass zone.

Immediately afterwards, the speed of deployment was reduced again, and they used the life of the commando to buy two seconds of preparation time for the team behind them, and these two seconds were enough for them to find their target in the chaos.

The kill accuracy rate is greatly improved, and the frequency of misoperations is significantly reduced.

Although the entire army was still wiped out, it was obvious that success was close at hand.

"No need to look any further, it will definitely pass."

Jackal sighed and pulled Chen Chen out of the CQB area.

Then, he continued to ask:

"Will other teams also explore this style of play? Or does each team have a different solution?"

"I don't know. Maybe some people will choose the strategy of slowing down and dismantling, maybe some people will take the wild path like us."

"But no matter what, they always find a way to solve the problem."

"Isn't the purpose of being a mercenary just to 'solve problems'?"

"really."

Jackal nodded again and then said:

"Okay, let's continue reading."
