143. The importance of the study of city-building
The school also starts classes during the summer vacation; After everyone sorted out the housekeeping, they gathered in front of the dormitory, singing the Whampoa school song and military song, and went out to exercise together.
Morning exercises are basically running, single parallel bars, wooden horses, long jumps, grenades, iron balls, etc. After breakfast, I started a day of intense study life.
At present, second-year students are divided into two kinds of learning content and methods: "subject" and "technique", and "subject" is the book knowledge learned in the lecture hall, which is generally arranged in the morning.
The study of "technical subjects" is carried out in the school playground and in the field, generally in the afternoon, which is conducive to mental activities in the morning, and the mind is a little chaotic in the afternoon, so physical training is carried out; Basically, it is carried out in the rhythm of three exercises and two lectures a day.
Each branch of the army has its own "Model Order", and the "Model Order" of the infantry includes: infantry drills, shooting lessons, field service, important tasks in the battle, infantry night education, etc.
The textbooks were compiled and printed by the Ministry of Military Affairs in a unified manner by continuing the textbooks of the Baoding Military Academy, plus the German drill code, combined with the Japanese infantry teaching model.
The infantry drill is mainly internal affairs, discipline, queue and other regulations, these three dogs they have learned in the first three months, but they have also been with the beginning and end of the military career.
I also learned a large part of the shooting lessons, such as the disassembly and shooting of rifles and the throwing of grenades; The next thing you will learn is how to disassemble and use pistols and machine guns, how to shoot, as well as mortars and grenadiers.
Field service is mainly a logistical task in field combat training, and the three dogs have all learned some when they were pulled out by Lao Hei for training, and now they have to learn them in a special and systematic way.
In view of the fact that the Japanese army is too strong but not many in number, and the Chinese army is weak but outnumbered, the way to deal with it.
It is to pay attention to night combat and melee white-knuckle combat, avoid the enemy's superior firepower, and fight for numbers after approaching the enemy; That is, the tactics of using inferior weapons against superior weapons.
In addition to the basic "Model Order", the "discipline" of the step department is mainly based on five courses: tactics, city building, terrain, weapons, and transportation; It is supplemented by military system, equipment science, etc.
In addition, it is necessary to study the ancient military books such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Qi Jiguang's Actual Record of Military Training", and "Supplementary Quotations of Zeng Hu Zhibing"; The principal especially praised the two military books, "Qi Jiguang's Actual Record of Military Training" and "Supplemental Quotations of Zeng Hu Zhibing".
The headmaster himself often wandered around the campus, caught a student, and tested all kinds of knowledge, and the content of these two military books was often asked; Therefore, everyone reads and memorizes the content so that they can use it in the future.
Other cultural courses are also to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, as well as politics, economics, law, philosophy and other disciplines, political courses include the premier's legacy, the history of the party, the founding of the country, the history of the invasion of China by foreign powers, political economy, international and domestic current affairs, Japanese historiography, etc.
Foreign languages are offered in English, French, Japanese, German, Russian, etc., and each squadron learns one language; Most of the squadrons of the infantry section and the cavalry section of the three dogs studied Japanese, the artillery department generally studied German, the engineer department generally studied Russian, and the transportation department generally studied English and French.
……
The study of "technical subjects" is carried out outdoors, including the use and protection of light and heavy weapons and mortars, field marching camps, liaison services, squad platoon, company and battalion instructors, and offensive and defensive pursuit and withdrawal tactics.
Students will learn the relevant knowledge of other disciplines, such as surveying and mapping, opening roads, building bridges, crossing rivers, communication and liaison in the Engineer Section, equestrianism and tactics against the cavalry in the Cavalry Section, and artillery drills, observation, flag language, control methods, gun scopes, and the use of shooting elements.
Artillery observations include visual or manual measurement of distances and angles, how to use trigonometric equations to calculate, how to check logarithmic tables, etc., which are also important for infantry and are of great help to the use of light artillery, mortars, and machine guns.
Others have to learn to pedal bicycles (bicycles), motorcycles, cars, etc.; Swimming is indispensable, and the school also called Dong Guisen, who was famous for crossing the Yangtze River, to be a swimming instructor in the ninth term.
In view of the superiority of the Japanese army's air force, it is also necessary to learn the basic knowledge of air defense; In addition, for the poison gas units equipped by the Japanese army, the school has added anti-poison training, and everyone has been issued with gas masks.
……
As mentioned earlier, the "discipline" of the step course is mainly based on five courses: tactics, city building, terrain, weapons, and transportation; The bishop of the three dogs, Lao Hei, still pulled everyone to the defensive position that everyone made with their own hands to study and train.
At that time, the study of building a castle began, and "fortification" simply means setting up fortifications, and in ancient times it meant building castles, castles, etc.
Fortification is divided into permanent fortification and field fortification; Permanent fortification refers to the construction of permanent fortifications, and now General Zhang Zhizhong is pulling the 87th and 88th divisions to build permanent fortifications in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or permanent defense fortifications.
Field fortification refers to the temporary fortification of cities built in the course of campaign, combat preparation and implementation; That is, the fortifications of this defensive position built by the three dogs themselves.
Because there is no steel reinforced cement and other materials, there is no way to build strong fortifications to defend against the enemy's heavy artillery, so we can only use local materials, using wood, sand, earth, sandbags, etc. as materials, which still have a certain effect on defending against ordinary small cannons and light and heavy machine guns.
In addition to the strength of the obstacles to the construction of the city, the resistance of the fortifications is also related to the correct configuration of various fortifications and obstacles, the full use of the terrain and the implementation of clever camouflage.
Finally, it is necessary to emphasize the role of people, the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the commander, and the bravery and courage of the warriors will increase the strength of a fortification, which is now the embodiment of soft power.
And our country, now lacks a large amount of steel cement, does not produce much, and does not have such good conditions to do so many permanent fortifications.
In addition, the selection of battlefields is erratic and random, and we have no way to predict where each battlefield will appear next, so many fortifications are temporarily dug.
Improvised fortifications will certainly be a little worse in terms of defending against artillery, but the positions, the last occupiers, and in the end people, planes and artillery just strike, will not be able to do the occupiers.
Therefore, the last thing we face in our position is the enemy, and as long as our fortifications are dug deep enough and cleverly designed, the more we can protect ourselves from the artillery.
Lao Hei said a lot of nonsense that he thought was nonsense, and finally taught everyone to start correcting and transforming the position that everyone dug not long ago.
For example, how many layers of sandbags and a combination of wood and mud can withstand the attack of the Japanese Type 38 150 howitzer, and how deep the tunnels can withstand the Japanese army's naval guns of more than 200 mm and hundreds of kilograms of aerial bombs.
