Chapter 15: Rearmament
In the early morning, the east has just revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.
At the foot of the mountain of the Black Tiger Village, there is a flat land, with a radius of seven or eight miles, the terrain is flat, and it is not far from the cottage; This place, where there are not a few people for half a day on weekdays, is now overcrowded, and at this time, the people in the Black Tiger Village have poured out!
"Big brother, it's not very reliable to fall down on such a high stage!" Dian Wei shouted from below.
"Brother Lang, the wooden platform is more than two feet high, think twice!" Cao Xing also stepped forward to persuade.
……
In the middle of the flat ground, a four-meter-high platform was set up, and a handsome and sturdy young man stood on the stage, he waved his hand to everyone in the audience, stopped their kind advice, and shouted to the more than ten people lined up in the audience: "I believe in you, because we are compatriots, we are comrades-in-arms, now please stretch out your hand, I will fall!" ”
The young man on the high platform is me, and now, the countdown has begun, and I have words in my mouth: ten, nine, eight, seven......
More than ten people in the audience heard the number of reports and immediately took action; Dian Wei's big hand clasped Cao Xing's hands, Cheng Lian and Li Wei also crossed their hands together, and the other three groups of people also moved in the same way, and in a moment, everyone formed a huge safety net built by countless arms under the stage.
I walked to the edge of the wooden platform, closed my eyes, folded my hands on my chest, completely relaxed my body, and then fell straight on my back and backwards! The moment I was in free fall, my back immediately came into contact with this safety net composed of arms and arms, and I felt my body hit these powerful arms hard, bouncing up and falling! It feels so good, familiar and intimate, like going back to the 21st century expansion game with friends!
Seeing that I was safe and sound, everyone became excited.
"Throw!" Dian Wei and Cao Xing shouted together.
Suddenly, twenty arms exerted force at the same time, throwing me into the air again, and the next moment I caught it steadily, so that I threw three or four times in a row, and the whole field boiled at once!
"The regiment commander is mighty, the regiment commander is mighty!" Thousands of people around them agitated, tearing out their voices and shouting together.
Yes, this is an extension game that mimics later generations - trust back fall.
I think that at the beginning, when I first took over this group of defeated soldiers, my confidence was also shaken; In the face of this rabble comparable to refugees; Facing a large crowd of scrawny and numb faces; In the face of stragglers who will plunder and kill bloodily even just for a meal, like locusts crossing the border, do I really have the ability to train them into elites?
But the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent! I racked my brains, squeezed out some bits and pieces of historical and military knowledge in my head, thought about the structure of the armed forces in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and even excellent enterprise management experience.
Today's Outward Bound Training is one of those attempts.
This kind of fun, teamwork activity makes people unconsciously trust each other in a pleasant game, and I believe that there will be good cohesion for this newly formed group.
The popularity of the game far exceeded expectations, and then Dian Wei, Cao Xing and others all came to the stage enthusiastically, and the people around them also cheered and cheered one after another.
……
After the success of the "backdoor listing" strategy, I left the logistics to Mi Hua, a big name in the business world; I need grain, horses, pig iron; There is a need for all kinds of talents, such as scholars, teachers, bookkeepers, doctors, carpenters, blacksmiths, plasterers... Mi Hua couldn't be more suitable to take over these things.
The most important thing left is military training. If I want to occupy Donglai, I must have an elite soldier in my hand!
Mi Hua and I agreed that we would rearm ourselves here for three months, and then attack Donglai, exterminate the bandits, and take charge of a county.
After eliminating the old and weak, more than 2,000 people were selected to form a regiment, and I was the head of the regiment. The regiment consists of 3 battalions, each with 600 men. I concurrently served as the battalion commander of the first battalion, Cao Xing served as the battalion commander of the second battalion, and Cheng Lian was the battalion commander of the third battalion; even recruited a hundred excellent hunters from the Dragon and Tiger Cottage, and formed a sniper battalion with the shooters selected from the regiment. In addition, 300 elites were selected in the whole regiment to form the Tiger Guard Battalion of the Special Brigade, with Dian Wei as the battalion commander. The special brigade is usually my personal guard battalion, and if necessary, it will also pull out one to carry out special tasks.
The grass was created into an army and named the Tiger Army.
Today's "trust back fall" is just a dish before the training, the effect is good, and some other outward bound training methods will be introduced according to the situation in the future, after the soldiers get used to these interesting games, I believe that soon, the outward bound training will slowly form a unique culture of the Tiger Army!
The first time he led a team of thousands of people, he was majestic on the surface and had infinite scenery! When dealing with every subordinate, he shows a confident and general demeanor in his hands, but in fact, he hides a deep uneasiness in his heart. If I can't train this team into an elite team within 3 months, there will be no way to talk about the base area of Donglai; So, how can I, who has no foundation, gain a foothold in this cruel and troubled era! It is only today that I truly understand the pain and torment of "trembling and walking on thin ice"!
In the 21st century, I once had such a dream to open my "Junxingjian Fitness Center" in every city in China! Now I can be the CEO of the Tiger Army, and I vow to train it to be the world's elite who can compete with the camp, the tiger and leopard riders, and the Danyang soldiers! Nearly 2,000 years apart, realize my dream in the future of the next life!
At this point, I finally decided not to be a bystander in this era, even in troubled times? How can this magnificent era not leave a little mark of my Shen Lang!
The vigorous large-scale military training thus began.
On the natural school field at the foot of the mountain, I singled out all the officers above the platoon commander and taught them to practice the most basic queue. I haven't been a soldier, but I've done military training, and it's just right to take it out for training today.
"Look to the right!" I shouted the order, and most of the more than 40 officers were left and right, some had to turn their heads to the left, some of them were obviously looking to the right, but when they saw that most of them were the opposite, they felt that they must be wrong, and they turned around, and some of them turned their heads from side to side, as if playing a rattle... It's just that few people do it right.
The soldiers around him burst into laughter, and when I scolded him, he immediately quieted down.
I've done it more than 10 times, and these people still can't, not even a little kid. I flew into a rage and yelled, "Dian Wei, come here!" Next time, if you don't do it well, you will serve with a bamboo whip! ”
Dian Weile ran from behind me and replied, "Okay! Big Brother"
My face was cold, and my eyes were like lightning shooting. Dian Wei was startled, stopped, realized that he had made a mistake again, hurriedly raised his hand to salute, and replied again: "Yes, Commander!" ”
This is the military salute of the soldiers of later generations, anyway, so much has been plagiarized, and there is no psychological burden on copycats.
I saluted back, pointed to the river to the south, and said to the officers: "This is the left side, and your hand on this side is the left hand, and if you look to the left, you will look at the river!" ”
I pointed to the mountains to the north and told them that this was the right side, and that if they made a mistake, they would have to eat the whip.
An hour later, after dozens of people ate a lot of bamboo whips from Dian Wei, they finally remembered it. Previously, they had done a good job of turning left and right, walking in unison, walking in front of each other and other basic queue methods.
Then it was their turn for the soldiers to suffer, and if any of the minions did not do it right, the officers gave them double the whips that the Dian Wei had given them.
A few days of training were not in vain. As soon as I gave the order, the team of more than 2,000 people quickly assembled, and in a moment, it was arranged into a neat phalanx, although there is no standard for the 21st century army to cut tofu blocks, but now it is pulled out, it will definitely be able to bluff many people!
Throughout ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign countries, all elite armies have a common characteristic: strong mobility. Starting this afternoon, the LTTE's training subject was rapid marching.
Running fast, most of my subordinates can't do it, think about it, most of them come from poor backgrounds, usually eat a meal, and don't know where to eat? How can you have the strength to toss around like this? If I am not in a hurry, I will spend three years and five years gradually, and I can train all of them to become long-distance runners, and I don't need to ask others for advice on this business, and I myself am a decathlon in sports. Time is running out, I only have 3 months at most now, and I can only use the quick method to accelerate their training in the survival of the fittest!
I have set a strict scheme of rewards and punishments: 500 people who run in the front, half a pound of pork per person for dinner, 200 people who fall behind, and half the amount of dinner eaten as a punishment! If they fall behind at 200 for 10 consecutive days, they will be sent to the baggage camp. I asked Dian Wei to bring 20 guards to carry bamboo whips in the back to supervise.
On the first day of 10 lila training, tired and fell a large piece, if it were not for the SARS Wei fierce and vicious, deterrent force 10 feet, kicking and whipping, it is estimated that more than half of the people will be difficult to climb back to the finish line.
Stimulated by my cost-free nutrition and rewarding the good and punishing the inferior, a week later, the soldiers on the 9th floor barely passed the level, and the elimination of the 1st floor was also within the acceptable range.
After more than 10 days of torture, I raised the mileage of the training to 15 miles, and in order to cultivate the teamwork spirit of the soldiers, I formulated a new rule: Take the platoon as a unit, practice joint sitting, and one will be honored and one will be lost. The top 10 rows will be rewarded with half a pound of pork per person, and the next 5 rows will be punished with half of the meals. For the common interests of everyone, if someone falls behind, everyone will support him and pull him to run, and if it doesn't work, they will also carry him to run together.
After more than 20 days of basic queue and physical training, this team already has an upward spirit. Exercises in formation tactics were put on the agenda.
I was deeply impressed by the famous Macedonian and Roman phalanxes in Europe, and I was often shocked by the appearance of such plots in Hollywood war blockbusters in the past! The advantage of the Macedonian phalanx is that it is brave to move forward, to kill gods when encountering gods, to kill Buddhas when encountering Buddhas, and if you face it head-on, it is a nightmare for any enemy. Its shortcomings are also obvious, good at attacking but not good at defending. Once the flanks are breached, the soldiers inside are turned into lambs to the slaughter. The Roman phalanx was more flexible and had a good ability to sustain combat, but its impact was slightly inferior; When the soldiers are fighting, they can alternately rest, and when the front row retreats to rest, the rear row soldiers immediately go up to kill the enemy.
And some of the ancient formations in our country are too mysterious, and there is no such thing as Zhuge Kongming, who is familiar with the gossip of the Nine Palaces, and the great god of Qimen Dunjia can't play it. It is the Mandarin Duck Array of Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty, which is easy to learn and extremely practical. As small as more than 10 people, they can fight in formation, and the effect of the large array of 10,000 people is also good.
After some comparison, I decided to use 2 battalions to practice the Macedonian phalanx, and the other battalion to practice the Mandarin Duck formation as a troop coordination. My main opponents at this stage are the Yellow Turbans and some miscellaneous bandits, who are no more than some flat-headed people who have just dropped their hoes. They are poorly equipped, lack long-range strike equipment, and have few generals who understand strategy and tactics, so I only need to arrange the two flanks and rear of the phalanx with a little covering force, and I will be in an invincible position.
Knock knock, war drums sounded, and the first and second battalions quickly lined up into two Macedonian phalanxes. The depth of the phalanx consisted of 15 rows of 40 people each. There was a 3-foot gap between the soldiers longitudinally and horizontally, and the 6-meter spears in the front four rows of the phalanx were horizontally aimed at the front, except for the flat-end spears of the first platoon, and the long poles of the spears in the last three rows were placed on the shoulders of the comrades in front, forming a gun formation denser than a hedgehog. The remaining 11 rows of warrior spears were raised diagonally in turn, forming an arc until the last row of vertical spear tips pointed straight into the sky.
The improved version of the Mandarin Duck Formation is slightly more complex than the Macedonian Phalanx, and the small Mandarin Duck Formation composed of more than 10 people is also a multi-arm coordinated operation. Two shieldmen in front of him protect the head of the formation, one holding a large square shield, the other holding a small round shield, and a short knife in the other hand to engage the enemy and fight. The next three people, one in the middle is the platoon commander, who is the commander of this formation. The two people on both sides need to wield six or seven meters of old bamboo poles, and they need to have full arm strength. They are followed by 4 to 6 pikemen, and finally 2 crossbowmen, providing long-range fire to small formations.
For the first time, I carried out a combination of several formations, and I also drove ducks to the shelves, only while practicing, while improving, feeling the stones to cross the river...
I ordered the flag to be waved.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The roar rang out, the huge phalanx was like a forest Xu Jin, and the spears in the first four rows were like poisonous snakes spitting letters: stabbing out, and then withdrawing back, the tips of the long spears shining with cold light!
The sound is powerful, shaking all kinds of animals in the jungle and meadow to flee in panic, countless birds jump into the sky, the intuition of animals is the most sensitive, and the slightest killing machine of the gun array makes them smell danger!
Mi Hua beside him looked at the murderous Macedonian phalanx, and couldn't close his mouth in horror. When he turned his head to look at me, he couldn't hide the admiration and reverence on his face, and he clapped his horse and said: "Haichuan's ability to train soldiers, even if Sun Wu is reborn, he must also bow to the wind!" ”
