Chapter 175: Easy First Day
To the solemn surprise, the first day of the field march went surprisingly well.
The subjects on the first day were very simple, maybe worried about the lack of experience of the students, every time they encountered complex terrain, once the students made a mistake, Luo Xiaoming would cough a few times on the side, and then scold and scold.
In fact, in the words of Shuluo, the correct answer is hinted at.
After Xu Xingguo, everyone took turns to play the role of squad leader.
Compared with Xu Xingguo's somewhat rusty situation when he was working at a fixed point before, almost everyone successfully completed the mapping use operation after that.
Coupled with the novelty of participating in the wilderness survival for the first time, everyone was in a state of excitement, but they really didn't feel tired.
Now, the situation is a little lighter and more pleasant.
These students of the third district team are really like primary school students who go out on a spring outing, giggling along the way, and the more they walk, the more they feel the wind under their feet.
Although the 40-kilometer road in a day is not easy to walk, especially the mountain road.
Physical exhaustion has become the biggest problem for everyone.
But for the trainees of the teaching brigade, who have already undergone high-intensity physical training, it seems that walking does not become too much of a burden.
In addition to physical exertion, the biggest challenge is food.
However, this does not seem to be a problem.
According to the plan discussed by solemnly and all the students in the class, each person has two boxes, that is, a total of eight compressed biscuits, plus one pound of rice, so even if you eat two compressed biscuits during the day for the first four days, and you can find wild vegetables or hunt at night when you go to the camp, then it should not be a big problem to get through.
As for the problem of water, there is no shortage of water in the mountains in the south, especially in June and July this year, when there is a lot of rain. On the first day of the march, the weather was clear, but occasionally you could see a trickle of water seeping from the rocks and cliffs in the mountains.
Replenish the water source, and you can easily deal with the past.
At about six o'clock in the evening, the 7th squad of the 3rd District Team became the first squad of the 3rd Squadron to arrive at the designated camp.
Solemnly unscrew his kettle and check how much water he has left.
Although it was the first time he participated in wilderness survival training, he had taken a theoretical class, and during today's 40-kilometer march, he strictly adhered to the principle of "small quantities and many times", and he did not feel that he had drunk much water.
On the way, he also replenished the water source once.
Therefore, at this time, there is still nearly two-thirds of the water in the kettle.
In this way, solemnity finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Seriously." After solemnly checking his water, he asked the solemn next to him: "How much water do you have left?" ”
"I'm almost full......" replied solemnly, holding up his water bottle and grinning.
"I've got half of them here."
"It seems that what the hell is not to survive in the wild!"
"That's it, now that we're at the campsite, let's divide and cooperate later, find water for those who are looking for water, find food for those who are looking for food, set up tents for those who set up tents, dig stoves for cooking, let's rest early tonight!" Xu Xingguo, like a real squad leader, began to guide the division of labor.
The camping site of the brigade was chosen on a large relatively flat hillside opposite a river, and stationed at the camping site, the seventh Luo Xiaoming sat next to him and said loudly: "Later, you will cooperate to deal with all the problems by yourself, and I will not interfere." ”
"Gotta do it!" Liu Ruiyong said with a smile: "Squad leader, you put a hundred hearts, before leaving, I was still scared half to death, thinking how difficult it was!" It was so easy! ”
"That's right! I'm worried enough. ”
Luo Xiaoming sneered, looked at the extremely frightened students, walked to the side and put away the equipment, and then dug a hole with a sapper shovel, found two stones, and made a small stove quickly.
"That's right!" He suddenly remembered something, turned his head and pointed to the students of Class 7 and said, "You have requirements for digging stoves, and you have to dig stoves that avoid light and smoke, understand?" ”
solemnly glanced at Luo Xiaoming, and saw that the other party took out a lighter, found dry firewood, and directly lit the fire.
"Squad leader, can I use a lighter?" He remembered that he also had a lighter, which he used to light a cigarette.
Luo Xiaoming said: "Yes, I don't object to your use, but I can score zero in your assessment transcript." ”
"Holy!" Solemnly stuffed the lighter back into his pocket, walked over to Cheng Cheng and the other students, and said, "Lao Qi said, you are not allowed to use lighters. ”
"No lighters?" Serious was dumbfounded.
In fact, matches are a very important item in the wild, but if the matches are damp, or there are no matches and lighters, although there are many ways to make a fire, none of these methods can be said to be easy.
The simplest way to get the fire is to use a method called the gun shot fire method.
This method is very simple, soldiers have guns on them, and according to the real battlefield, there must be bullets as well.
Just find a cracked tree, jam the warhead in, and then press the bullet case hard, loosen the bullet without damaging the shell bayonet, and then remove the bullet.
Inside the cartridge casings are small black granular propellants, which can be ignited by mixing a mass of ignition medium (usually some dry weed, bird's nest material or even preferably feathers) and reloading into the cartridge case, then ramming the bullet into the chamber and firing a shot at the haystack on the ground to ignite the fire immediately.
Now, though, no one has live ammunition in their hands.
In addition, there are too many ways to ignite, such as what convex mirror ignition method, what flashlight ignition method, but it is not suitable for current use.
For the rest, only the hardest and most primitive three methods can be used now.
Zhuang Zhuang suddenly understood why Luo Xiaoming was so happy when he looked at his students, and he actually sneered.
It turns out that the torture is yet to come!
"Brothers! Let's talk about it, how about we divide the division of labor first? He solemnly said to everyone, "You can't waste time here." ”
Xu Xingguo said: "Or, let me talk about my opinion first?" You think it's okay, let's just do it? ”
Zhuang Zheng said: "Okay, you say, let's listen." ”
Zhuang Zhuang pointed to Zheng Yan and said: "Now, we have to do these things - light a fire, set up a tent, dig a stove to avoid light and disperse smoke, and also find water sources and food, in fact, there is no need to find a water source, there is a river over there, easy to do, find food, before it is completely dark, see what wild vegetables can eat, dig them back, and, when you see bamboo, cut some bamboo and come back to cook." ”
"In this way, there are twelve people in our class, and we have to be divided into four groups, I think it's easiest to set up a tent, two people can do it, and save some manpower to do difficult things."
He said as he looked at the people on his left and right.
Liu Ruiyong said: "I agree, I don't think this distribution will work - Wang Jie, Wan Yuelong, Han Tao, Cao Feng, Zhang Jinhao, you are in a group of five, responsible for finding food and water; Zhuang Yan and Xu Xingguo and Zhang Pengfei were in a group, responsible for making fire; I was in a group with Serious, and I was responsible for setting up the tents; Yu Hao and Li Zhaoxin were responsible for digging up the smoke stove. ”
Everyone exchanged glances with each other.
Solemn first said: "Done! That's it! ”
"Tents, what type of tent are we going to set up tonight?" Ask seriously.
He solemnly looked around the camp and said, "There are so many trees over there, I don't think we will build a simple tent, make a better slope-shaped shelter, let's sleep more comfortably!" Otherwise, it would be a waste of such a good place. ”
"Okay, no problem."
After the discussion, several groups of people immediately separated, and everyone now gathered their weapons and equipment in one place, and handed them over to the group responsible for setting up the tent to take care of them, and then the rest of the people began to move separately with mountain knives and sapper shovels.
Due to the constraints of wild survival, there are generally only two types of tents to be built, one is called simple tents.
The simple tent is very simple to set up, divided into a roof-type simple tent and a slope simple tent, each student has a plastic rain cloth two meters long and one meter three meters wide, as well as a roll of large backpack belt and a roll of small backpack belt, it is recommended that the material of the tent only needs these two plus two simple wooden sticks.
Even if there is no wooden stick, a single sapper shovel can be used as a supporting wooden stick.
The approximate method is to nail two wooden sticks about one meter three or so into the ground as a fixed pile, and then tie a knot with two small backpack straps and link them together, tie them to the two fixed piles, and then nail them into the ground with two small fixed piles.
AFTER THAT, FIND A SMALL BRANCH ABOUT THE THICKNESS OF THE INDEX FINGER, AND THEN CUT IT INTO A SMALL SHORT STICK OF ABOUT 15-20CM, AND USE A KNIFE TO GENTLY SPLIT A LITTLE BIT FROM THE MIDDLE, BUT NOT COMPLETELY BROKEN, SO THAT THE BREACH IS AS STRONG AS A CLIP, AND YOU CAN FIX THE TWO PIECES OF TARPAULIN IN A HERRINGBONE SHAPE ON THE SMALL BACKPACK BELT.
In this way, a rooftop tent is completed and can sleep two people.
If needed, a squad can use this method to link many backpack straps, and then have the entire squad of soldiers lie down in it.
The general method of other slope tents is similar, but the applicable terrain is slightly different from that of rooftop tents.
The construction of temporary shelters is a little more troublesome, but it is much better than simple rooftop and slope tents in terms of wind resistance and rain protection, but you must camp at the edge of the woods, and you can find enough branches to build, so the adaptability is not so good.
Setting up a tent is not yet complete, you must clear the weeds around the tent, see if there are ant nests, bee nests, etc., try to check whether there are snake holes, after the grass is cleaned, dig a 30 cm wide and 30 cm deep waterproof ditch around the tent to avoid water seeping into the tent when it rains.
After all this, it's not over......
The ashes left over from cooking must be kept and spread evenly around the tent. Plants and trees are gray and alkaline, and snakes, ants and the like don't like it, so it can prevent insects, snakes and ants to a certain extent.
In fact, of all the divisions, the difficulty of making fire and finding food is the greatest.
Water sources, setting up tents, digging stoves to avoid light and smoke are all manual work, and they are all too easy to do.
And life, without matches, is definitely a crushing job.
Zheng Zheng quickly realized what was the difference between book theory and practical operation......
