All battalions that have been rebuilt from all parts of northern Qiongbei are now undergoing training for the restoration of public order warfare, which has lasted for 10 months, and although it has given the troops a lot of combat experience in anti-guerrilla warfare, it is very unfavorable to the regularization of the army. The long-term dispersion of operations and duties has resulted in a lax organization and discipline of the troops. In security operations, many battalions carry out their tasks as platoons.

The veteran officers, whether they were of the new style or the old school, were well aware of the problem of dispersed operations. It is not advisable for the regular army to engage in public order warfare for too long, otherwise it is easy to cause a retrogression in the overall quality. At the beginning, the Japanese army carried out a cage policy in North China, setting up strongholds everywhere, one squad here, four or five people there, and for a time it really contained the combat operations of the Eighth Route Army and attacked the base areas. But the result of the extreme dispersion of the troops was poor discipline and no training. By the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the quality of individual soldiers and the combat standards of the troops of the North China Dispatch Army had dropped significantly.

To conduct a public order war, it is still necessary to rely mainly on local troops and militias, and the regular army is a "heavy weapon." In order to solve the problem of local control, the General Staff entrusted Fu Sansi to set up a national army training team in Ma Yuanzhuan. Ding Zhuang was recruited from various counties in Hainan for intensive training. Officers and non-commissioned officers are selected from the regular army. At the end of the training, it will be configured according to the size of one company in each county. Later, it was expanded to the size of a three-company brigade.

The first battalion did not receive the task of recovering xìng training~ The 4th battalion has not been dispersed except for the security army that acted as a stage in Qiongshan after the Chengmai Campaign, and has been staying in the horse with a group deployment posture, and there is no need to do anything additional to restore xìng training Zhu Mingxia received the training order to "strengthen physical training" and "the whole battalion immediately carry out sea training".

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

Although the General Staff Department has not yet officially issued an order to him, the reason for requiring the entire battalion to participate in sea training could not be clearer: the engine operations are all carried out in the coastal areas, and in order to ensure the smooth plundering of the population, it is necessary to dispatch ground troops on a large scale In order to adapt to the new combat environment, the army must master the skills of rapid landing on tidal flats, get used to living on ships for a long time and transfer at sea, and at the same time adapt to the northern climate.

In the past, amphibious operations in this column were the preserve of the Navy.

However, the scale of the engine operation was large and long-lasting, and the naval forces could not afford to bear it alone. Zhu Mingxia knew that the strength of the naval soldiers was also tight: the main force was transferred to Qiongnan to carry out the Qiongnan security battle. One was connected to Hong Kong, and the other was connected to Vietnam. The one that was able to come out to participate in the engine operation was said to be a battalion, but in fact there were only 4 companies, which was only half the size of the army infantry battalion. The Army is to play the main role in this operation

As for the "intensification of physical training", it was not a simple order that accompanied the order, but a "special ration" given to the 4th battalion. From now on, additional rations will be provided to the 4th Infantry Battalion, with more fat and protein. There is even an unprecedented daily ration of ròu: this ròu is neither a pig nor a cow, but a jīròu. In addition to Jīròu, the Ministry of Agriculture Mén does not have the capacity to supply the ròu class of other land animals to naturalized people in bulk.

From this point of view, it is clear that the General Staff hopes that the 4th will be able to overcome the low temperatures encountered during the northward operation.

It was a great opportunity for him to be able to participate in the engine operation, although sooner or later the veteran officers would be able to hún the last time they were in the South China Sea, and some people proposed that there should be generals, deputy marshals, commanders, marshals and the like above the generals, and the level that was not set was not enough to show the greatness of the empire and the great military might of the Fu Bō army.

But promotion by virtue of military merit is much better than promotion by virtue of veteran qualifications. Besides, in addition to military rank, seniority in the army is also very important, and "how many years have you been a soldier" is not a general question. Whoever is promoted to a higher rank first means that he has a greater say and decision on many things. The stronger the influence in the army and the more shili the mountain.

He was thinking about the military training course that would start tomorrow, and a few days ago he had gone to the General Staff Office once, and he had started a new course for the needs of xìng training, and he had conducted a jiāo stream with several major officers. In particular, how to carry out the course of sea training.

Zhu Mingxia himself was not born in the Marine Corps, and his own lack of knowledge and experience in amphibious combat training made it impossible for his training to completely copy the training manuals of the old time and space. Shi Zhiqi of the Navy Corps is currently the person with the most experience in commanding amphibious operations in actual combat, and having his first-hand information will be of great help.

The problem is that Shi Zhiqi is currently the commander of his garrison in Hong Kong. It's a bit of a hassle to ask him for advice. After thinking about it, it is more appropriate to consult Xue Ziliang. Although he did not command the Marine Corps on this plane, he was a member of the U.S. Marine Corps in the old plane and considered an experienced professional. And he is more familiar with Xue Ziliang. On weekdays, I often go to chat with him and ask for some professional questions.

He usually pays special attention to the jiāo stream with other officers... Especially Bei Wei and Xue Ziliang.

He spends a lot of his spare time asking these two for military skills. In his opinion, Bei Wei and Xue Weini represent the level of British soldiers in China and the United States, although they are also from the Jīng Rui Army, but after all, there is a considerable distance from them.

Tactical literacy, military theory, there are too many places to recharge yourself. Especially Xue Ziliang, many of the training methods, weapon use theories, and combat jishu he mastered were unique in this time and space. And there is real combat experience. It was a pity to leave such a person in the Special Reconnaissance Headquarters. No matter how strong the special investigation team is, it is just a small detachment, and it cannot play a decisive role on the battlefield.

He also borrowed various materials from the gun platoon party to study the strategy and tactics of the gun platoon era. Although this was scoffed at by many old-fashioned factions, in his opinion it was responsible for the lives of soldiers. What equipment is used to fight what kind of battle, not to be ahead of the curve, not to engage in bad taste, this is his principle of training in administering the army.

Zhu Mingxia picked up the hand-cranked phone on the table, shook it three times and connected to the switchboard: "Pick up the headquarters of the special investigation team." ”

Xue Ziliang's current official position is the deputy captain of the special investigation team and the head of the subordinate detachment, and he has been in the headquarters of the Damén entrance of Bairen City when he is not performing tasks and training.

The call was quickly connected, but Xue Ziliang was not in the office. His NV 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 returns. ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone and shook the handle twice to announce the withdrawal.

"Isn't it time to buy yourself an NV orderly?" Looking at the soldiers in the camp, Zhu Mingxia began to think about his personal problems. Ever since the General Office and the Military Affairs Tribunal jointly issued a notice on the life of veteran officers that the secretary could be made up as a veteran orderly, Zhu Mingxia was considering this issue while considering the purpose of the training course.

Now there are not many NV servants left in the school who have not been sold. Most of them are below grade C. For the time being, the Office has not yet replenished the newly acquired NV servant resources. Most of the veterans who didn't buy NV servants decided to wait: as soon as the engine action began, a large number of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong girls could be imported, which were more in line with the aesthetic taste of the elders. Or just wait until the action is over and choose one.

The two soldiers passing by the window caught his attention, and their discussion brought his brows together.

"Have you heard of it, it's time to start sea training. I heard that we will also transfer troops from the Navy to train with us as our instructors! ”

"I really don't want to train with these salted fish. Do you remember that brawl? Those sailors are also too arrogant, even the people in the garrison battalion dare to fight, and what do they say about the army bullying the navy, phew!

A group of lawless pirates, when have we ever bullied them. ”

"That's it, who else did I hear last time, the Marine Corps said that we don't need to exist, and we should disband.

Okay, then they'll go over the mountains and fight the bandits. ”

"I think we are old hats, and they are not from good people. There are a lot of people who are either home buyers or pirates, stepping barefoot on the planks of the ship, and are not allowed to go ashore......"

Hearing this, Zhu Mingxia couldn't sit still. He stood up and circled around the office. I changed my shoes first, and then called the herald to give the order to assemble urgently.

The rapid drumming of the emergency assembly resounded throughout the camp. Today is a day off, cultural and political studies are over again, and after playing sports, many soldiers are taking a shower and washing their clothes.

Hearing the sound of drums, the soldiers immediately threw aside their basins and clothes, and ran to the barracks. Soon, the assembled soldiers of each company began to form a team, and at one time "one, two, three, four", "two, two, two", "full five!" "All kinds of reports are constantly being heard.

After the company was assembled, the officer on duty took it to the battalion assembly point, and the herald stood behind Zhu Mingxia to record the time when each company was assembled.

"Report to the battalion commander! The 6th Company of the Battle-Infantry, assembled, please instruct! Five minutes and six seconds later, a company of zuihou arrived.

"The whole battalion received guns, no bullets, and was fully armed for five kilometers, with a time limit of 26 minutes. Six consecutive times, 6 seconds beyond the specified time, less than 10 seconds, plus a penalty of one kilometer. Begin! ”10

"Light infantry company, run and walk." "Grenadier Company, run and go."

"A company of infantry, running and walking."

Taking advantage of the gap between the companies taking away, Zhu Mingxia turned around and told the heralds: "The old rule, inform the gang that the company that Zuihou has arrived will not have ròu for dinner tomorrow, and give all their ròu food to the first company to arrive." After saying that, he straightened his belt and quickly followed the troops.
