"Stand upright. ”
"Walk in unison. ”
"Stand. ”
"Look to the right. ”
"Take a break. ”
With a loud password, a group of soldiers in military uniforms lined up in a neat queue, completing various training items according to the password.
This also made Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and others who were patrolling the training ground very satisfied, after all, this has just become an army, and it is already very good to be able to have such a level, and since he is a new soldier, his mental outlook is quite good, which is the most important thing.
In the past few days, the main work of the crossing group is to select and form a reserve army, and the 508 people selected are mainly divided into two parts according to the principle of individual voluntariness, one part is called the reserve combat unit, all of which are composed of retired soldiers, and it is very likely that they will go to the battlefield in the future, and this part is divided into two squadrons of the army and the navy, and the army has 51 people, divided into five squads, and incorporated into the marine corps, and each person is issued with a set of combat camouflage uniforms including tactical vests and helmets. A Type 95 rifle is trained in combat techniques; the navy has 32 people, divided into four squads, each of whom is issued with a set of combat camouflage uniforms, but not equipped with guns, and will serve on captured warships to learn the combat skills of warships of this era.
Most of the troops crossing are navy, and each navy soldier is generally equipped with three sets of clothing, one is a combat camouflage uniform, one is a daily uniform, and one is a military dress uniform. However, each warship also carries a certain amount of spare clothing on it in case the clothing is damaged or used for other unexpected purposes. Moreover, there are a small number of combatants on each warship, so it will also be equipped with some tactical vests, helmets, Type 95 rifles, Type 92 pistols, large-caliber machine guns, rocket launchers, mortars and other weapons.
The other part is called the reserve guard force, which is mainly responsible for logistics support, maintaining law and order in the occupied area, but also includes fighting crime, arresting and opposing the rule of the crossing group, and guarding the security of important facilities, etc., under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to go to the battlefield to fight, but in some special circumstances, it is also possible to fight, so each soldier must also be equipped with weapons. The reserve guard unit is also divided into two parts, male and female.
There are a total of 402 male soldiers, organized into a battalion according to the three-three system, which is also the only official establishment of the reserve army, and the officers above the platoon commander are all active duty soldiers sent by the army, and their clothing and weapons are all from captured trophies.
There were 23 female soldiers, organized into a squadron with three squads, and their clothing was the daily uniform provided by the Navy and they were armed with Type 92 pistols. Although their duties are largely the same as those of male soldiers, there are certain differences, first of all, female soldiers are basically not required to perform more dangerous tasks, and they also have to pay for some tasks in special circumstances, and they are only equipped with guns to defend themselves, not to fight.
This is not because the spare materials carried on the warships are not enough, but the spare clothing and weapons of the seven warships are still completely sufficient to assemble an army of four or five hundred people. But the active army, which is a soldier of the Marine Corps, also needs a certain amount of spare parts, and there is another important factor, that is, bullets, although there is a supply ship in the crossing fleet, which carries a considerable amount of ammunition, which is enough to support three or five large-scale wars, but Bi Jing has no replenishment, and must be used sparingly, so it can only be rationed to a small army, and it is impossible to assemble an entire guard reserve battalion.
Through the previous battles, nearly 1,500 rifles and nearly 100,000 rounds of ammunition were captured. However, there are various types of rifles seized, and the caliber of the ammunition is also varied. Because in this era, all countries have their own standards for guns and ammunition, and there is no unified standard, after the classification of the body, the captured rifles are:
The Japanese-made Type 30 Murata rifle, with a caliber of 6.5 mm, has a total of 458 pieces and more than 27,000 rounds of ammunition;
The Russian-made Mosingana M-1891 rifle, with a caliber of 7.62 mm, has a total of 309 pieces and more than 18,000 rounds of ammunition;
The British-made Lee Enfeld NO.1 rifle, with a caliber of 7.7 mm, has a total of 241 rifles and more than 15,000 rounds of ammunition;
The German-made Mauser G98 rifle, with a caliber of 7.92 mm, has a total of 228 rifles and more than 15,000 rounds of ammunition;
The French Lebor M-1886 rifle, with a caliber of 8 mm, has a total of 162 rifles and more than 9,000 rounds of ammunition;
The American-made Kragg-Jorgensen rifle M-1892 rifle, with a caliber of 7.7 mm, has a total of 117 pieces and more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition;
The Italian-made Carcano M1891 rifle, with a caliber of 6.5 mm, has a total of 18 pieces and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition;
The Austro-Hungarian Steyr-Manlisa M1895 rifle, with a caliber of 8 mm, has a total of five rifles and more than 600 rounds of ammunition.
If the reserve guard battalion is equipped with a single rifle, only the number of Japanese-made Type 30 Murata rifles is sufficient, but it can only guarantee one manpower, and there are no other spare rifles, because in a short period of time, the crossing group will not be able to produce rifle accessories by itself, and can only use the method of supplementing the east with the west gun, and the average person only has about 70 rounds of ammunition, which is not enough for training, let alone dealing with a possible war.
As a result, the Russian-made Mosingana M-1891 rifle, the British-made Lee Enfild NO.1 rifle, and the German-made Mauser G98 rifle were selected by three companies, while the Japanese-made Type 30 Murata rifle, which had the largest number, was selected by three companies.
On the one hand, there is a kind of rejection of the Japanese manufacturing instinct of the traversers, and the Japanese-made Type 30 Murata rifle is not a successful rifle, because at this time, the industrial level of the company, and the experience and ability to design the rifle are very limited, so the Type 30 rifle still has many shortcomings, and in fact, the Type 30 rifle has not been used in Japan for a long time, and it was soon improved by it, the famous "38 big cover" in the old time and space Instead, the Type 1 rifle was only used for less than ten years, and of course it could not be considered a success.
The Mosingana M-1891 rifle, the Lee Enfir NO.1 rifle, and the Mauser G98 rifle are all classic guns that have passed the test of history. Fortunately, each of these three rifles was equipped with only one company, and there were still enough spare guns to provide accessories and training ammunition.
Since these three companies chose German, British, and Russian-made rifles, then the military uniforms simply chose German, British, and Russian-made military uniforms, so these three companies were also called German companies, British companies, and Russian companies according to their respective military uniforms and rifles.
However, the number of Type 30 rifles is huge, although they have not been selected by various companies, but they cannot be wasted, so they are used as training guns, the rifle structure of this era, the operation method is similar, and it is also used for knife training and tactical action training with guns, which is completely sufficient.
In this way, the establishment, clothing, and weapons of the reserve army have been completed or assembled in place, and then the training will begin, and the instructors will all be officers of the Navy, because the current combat mission of the Marine Corps is very tight, and it will certainly not be able to spare manpower. And in the navy, there are two auxiliary warships, the Changbaishan and Taihu, which have a large number of idle officers, and only when training tactical maneuvers, will officers of the Marine Corps be invited to teach.
Although the reserve team has just been established, the mental state of the recruits is good, first, because of the freshness brought by just joining the army; second, after holding back on the ship for more than ten days, they can finally move their muscles and bones, of course, they will work harder; third, for their own future development, everyone knows that being able to become a member of the reserve team can not only accumulate contacts for themselves, but also will be an important qualification for themselves in this time and space, and when there are other important jobs in the future, they will naturally be given priority, of course, the premise is that they must perform well in the army, otherwise this important qualification will become a negative asset。
In addition, these qualified personnel are all about 30 years old, basically technical jobs, and they are the kind of technicians who need to do it themselves, not the kind of technicians who sit in front of the computer, so most of their physical fitness is not bad, and they are not diligent and highly myopic otaku lame women. It is guaranteed to have a certain physical fitness, and it is also the basis for being able to complete various trainings.
Everyone's training is very serious, even if it is the most boring queue training, it is also meticulous, and the combat action and shooting training are even more enthusiastic, not to mention men, after all, the vast majority of men have a passionate military dream in their hearts, even women are also full of enthusiasm, because the women who sign up for the army are all female men, and they are insulated from the gentle and elegant, idle and petty bourgeoisie.
Of course, in the reserve army, the foundation of the reserve combat unit is the best, Bi Jing is a retired soldier, and he is not very old, and the basic skills are all there, so it will naturally be much faster to get started, and it only took two days for the queue of the reserve combat unit to go strong and powerful, and it looks like it.
And not only queue training, all kinds of combat technical action training are also clear-eyed, whether it is jumping obstacles, bayonets, grappling fighting, shooting, etc., they can get started quickly, and have a certain combat effectiveness.
Although Colonel Fang Bin, the only active soldier on active duty, is a little physically blessed, he is obviously still insisting on refining on weekdays, so his physical fitness has not fallen much, although all the results are not excellent, but he can also keep up with the progress, because he is in shooting, the physical requirements are not high, he can actually rank in the top five of the team.
