Chapter 599: A Strange Selection
After much discussion, several training subjects were finally finalized:
Situation judgment, basic tactical arrangement, battlefield pattern, sand table demonstration, combat psychology, and terrain utilization are all indispensable on the battlefield.
Liu Cheng basically fought by virtue of his understanding of this period of history and his combat experience in his previous life.
But if you want to teach these things to others, it will be more troublesome.
Can't you tell them about the future and the major battles, right?
And even if he said that those people believed it, what use would it be?
Tell all the course and results of those large-scale battles recorded in history, and you can turn the tide of the war? Isn't it necessary to find a way to solve it little by little?
When your side changes the original tactics, the enemy will definitely make adjustments, unless you can clearly understand the enemy's combat deployment, and then plan and arrange some surprise troops that can play a decisive role.
The premise is that it cannot be detected by enemy scouts.
Otherwise, there is no difference between knowing and not knowing.
After the general discipline and teaching method were decided, Liu Chengcheng was about to start the selection.
Not only a few companies of Tao Lin, but also Xinghe, Liangcheng and Zhou Zuopeng's side all had to be selected.
The selection method was decided by Liu Cheng in advance, and the first item was physical fitness.
Two hours later, Duan Jinghe came back with those soldiers who had just completed 20 kilometers of weight, and Liu Chengcheng ordered everyone to gather and assess the 20 kilometers of weight-bearing off-road.
Those who are eliminated will lose their eligibility to enter the training course.
Duan Jinghe touched the bags on his head that had just been beaten by Liu Cheng not long ago, with a loveless expression on his face.
He, the company commander, is actually a commander at the level of a regiment commander, if he can't even get the qualifications to study, then what kind of face will he have to lead the troops in the future?
In this assessment, Liu Cheng personally led the team, and the weight was five kilograms more than others.
The Independent Battalion, unlike other units, is in fact a Freedom Force, although it is nominally belonging.
Liu Cheng, as the battalion commander, had to lead by example in this particular situation and let the soldiers see his abilities.
In the past, when there were few people in the independent camp, he could be seen by everyone when he did anything.
Killing the enemy on the battlefield and training in peacetime, it is easy for soldiers to intuitively believe in and even worship him.
But now, thousands of people are there, and even if he rushes to the first one during the battle, the most he can see is a few hundred.
Therefore, at such a time, he must seize the opportunity to show his strength and let those fighters take a look.
Carrying a weight of fifty pounds and running twenty kilometers, even if Liu Cheng has never stopped exercising, he is tired enough to run this time.
Soldiers can reach the finish line and lie down on the ground and rest as much as they want.
But Liu Cheng couldn't.
It's not the way to mingle with the warriors, or they'll think their commander isn't as invincible as they think.
In this regard, Liu Cheng is actually very depressed.
But there was no way, this is what he had to bear in this position.
As a commander with such a large number of troops, there are many details that must be paid attention to.
Otherwise, those teams that come into contact with him after entering the customs in the future will easily shake his military spirit.
When the independent battalion was first formed, Liu Cheng did not expect that there would be so many things after the expansion of the team to the current scale, and even had the ignorant idea that "the more people there are, the more victorious the battle".
In his current position, he truly understood why the senior officers he had seen in the past always had serious expressions.
Majesty is also something that must be possessed as a commander.
On the battlefield, you can go to great lengths to save an ordinary soldier, and you can be approachable when they encounter some difficulties, but you must not laugh with them anytime and anywhere.
Because not everyone can always put themselves in the right position, and once they do, perhaps in the eyes of some people, they will abandon the awe they should have.
It's nothing in normal times, but what if there is someone on the battlefield who thinks he has a good relationship with his commander and blames dangerous tasks and battles on others?
Shot on the spot?
Then why did they indulge in such a problem in the first place?
People's hearts are the most terrible thing at all times, and Liu Cheng has to guard against it.
Compared with Xinghe and Liangcheng, the number of garrisons in Taolin was the largest, close to two thousand.
However, after 20 kilometers of this trip, more than half of them were directly eliminated, and only less than 600 people were qualified.
Of course, this is not the only way to choose.
After the assessment of some training items is over, Liu Cheng also plans to hold another written test to select those fighters who are not physically strong but have excellent mental strength to receive training as well.
Anyway, it will take at least two months for those small buildings to be built, which is very sufficient.
For Duan Jinghe, this is his second trip of 20 kilometers today.
He was eliminated directly, and after running back, he only felt that his two legs no longer belonged to him.
Seeing Liu Cheng, Britta asked him with some doubts:
"Battalion Commander Liu, I don't understand your selection method, for a commander, he doesn't need to directly participate in the battle on the front line, what are you doing with these complicated assessments?"
Liu Cheng smiled mysteriously and said:
"You don't know that, do you? The conditions here are limited, and these soldiers are basically coming for military salaries, first of all, they lack a basic understanding of this war ideologically, and they do not have the sense of national honor that they should have.
And if you want to cultivate these, it takes a long time and a good environment.
And I don't have that much time.
Therefore, all I can do is to screen out possible hidden dangers in advance, and take physical fitness and combat effectiveness as the first level of selection.
In this case, at least I can get a batch of squad leaders first.
In addition, you have also seen the formation of our independent battalion, and now there are at least 30 fighters in a squad, which is not conducive to command and transfer in battle.
Therefore, I decided to set up another "team" below the class level, with 10 to 12 people in each team, so as to facilitate command.
There will certainly be many people selected in this way who are not suitable for the position of commander above the platoon level, but there is absolutely no problem in letting them become captains. ”
Britta didn't speak.
Looking at the faint helplessness on Liu Cheng's face, she seemed to understand something, but it was fleeting and she couldn't catch it.
As a military instructor who grew up in a good environment and received a good education, Britta does not fully understand the situation Liu Cheng is facing now, which is also very normal......
