Yang Hai's words made many soldiers of the forbidden army fall into deep thought, is the seemingly calm sea beside him really so terrifying?

It's a question that has always been on their minds, but the training keeps going day by day.

Boring, boring, two anti-snazzy training sessions a day, gradually changed to three, then four, five times.

The training is not over until they can stay in the box for an hour, as if they had just climbed it.

And the time has been used for a month and a half.

Most of the time, the soldiers are vomiting, all kinds of vomiting, vomiting until they doubt their lives, and vomit until their limbs are weak, but they have no other way to solve it than to persevere, and they can only rely on their will to carry it.

However, compared to the hardships of the forbidden army, the lives of the other marines were much better.

There is only one morning training time every day, after lunch, there is an hour of rest, then another hour of basic training, then another hour of cultural learning, and then dinner, and then directly disbandment.

Although this kind of life is fully arranged, compared to the previous training, this is basically the most comfortable day.

Moreover, most of the training is based on basic training and solid training, and there are no new subjects, just let them get familiar with and adapt to it over and over again, and ensure that their bodies can fight at any time with this kind of unhurried training.

In the same camp, two completely different scenes, the scene is really embarrassing.

The elite forbidden army in the past was now being trained like a dog, panting for breath, while the marines, who had already experienced this stage a year or two ago, were basking in the sun and training in a game-like way.

Different from the training ground, outside the training ground, which is also a corner of this camp, is only a hundred meters away from the barracks, in the rows of huge warehouses, but this time is busy one after another.

Large quantities of food and armament were constantly being transported and then sent to warehouses.

So far, no soldier other than those in command knows exactly how much supplies are hoarded in it.

But looking at the busy scene, it also made many people sigh, there are definitely a lot of materials inside, if those warehouses are filled, they can even ensure that they continue to fight for a year.

Supplying an army of 50,000 men for a year's worth of overseas operations is not a small amount of material.

However, after staying here for a long time, even an ordinary soldier can feel that there is going to be a war at this time.

Although it is not explicitly stated above, but according to the busy logistics during this time, a steady stream of supplies were transported, as well as a sudden decrease in the amount of training, and a sudden increase in food, in the past, the army was able to eat one meal of meat in three days, in the ancient army, in normal days, it was already very good to be able to do this, but now, you can eat one meal of meat every day.

Although the amount is less than before, the amount of three days added up to the previous two meals of meat.

And according to experience, this battle should start after Zhengdan, because whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the previous dynasties, no one will send troops before the year, unless there is an emergency, otherwise, it is generally after Zhengdan, and even the vast majority of troops will not start to send troops until February.

In other words, there is only one and a half months left for them, and at most two and a half months.

There was no excitement, no nervousness, it seemed that everything was as it should be, and the whole camp was as orderly as ever, without any trace of panic.

The marines are still relaxing, and the forbidden army is still training intensively, but at this moment they have entered the second stage of training, armed swimming.

This is an extreme practice, although it is rare, but if the boat capsizes, at least make sure that they can wait for the rescue boat to arrive, otherwise it will be too much damage if they drown.

"General, I think that the subject of armed swimming can be abolished, or that my troops only need to learn to swim, and in the future operations, they should try their best to avoid armed swimming." After ten days of training in the armed swimming course, most of the soldiers learned to swim, but various problems still appeared, and they were still problems that Liu Li could not solve, so he found Wang Xuance and asked to cancel the training of this subject, and listed a prohibited behavior in their use.

"Tell me why!" Wang Xuance quietly looked at the soldiers of the forbidden army who were swimming and training, and there were no waves in his heart because of Liu Li's refusal.

"There is only one reason, the equipment is not suitable, there are two specific points, one is that in the process of armed swimming, the rifle will enter the water, which is unavoidable by anyone, and after the water penetrates, it will have a great impact on the performance of the rifle, in serious cases, it is even impossible to fire the bullet normally, after leaving the water, it must be cleaned up before it can be put into combat, and some rifles have shown slight rust.

The second point is that the performance in the first few days is not outstanding, but with the deepening of the subject training, the number of armed swimmings is increasing, and the time is getting longer and longer, and the probability of the bullet being successfully fired in these days is only about two or three percent.

However, after replacing the bullet with a new one, if you continue to swim in the river, the bullet can fire normally, so it should be caused by soaking in water for a long time. Liu Li said a few problems he found.

To sum up, they can swim in arms, but not for too long, otherwise they will lose their combat effectiveness.

But at the same time, in order to protect the precious equipment from accidental damage, armed swimming should be avoided as much as possible, because there is no guarantee that the equipment will be of greater use elsewhere.

As things stand, they can play a bigger role.

"Armed swimmers must be trained, this is not negotiable!" Wang Xuance shook his head, the reason given by Liu Li was sufficient, but it was not a reason to cancel this training. He continued: "You have a unique advantage, which is not possessed by other troops, and on the battlefield, you can play a role far beyond the role of three thousand, or even five thousand.

The specific geographical environment of our target is unknown for the time being, but it is certain that there must be a large number of rivers in some target areas, so armed swimming is inevitable.

In addition to this, I have other special requirements for you, which will require armed swimming.

As for the problem of water ingress, try wrapping the rifle and bullets in oiled paper first, and if that doesn't work, think of other solutions. ”

There is always a way, and you can't always think about retreating when you encounter problems, Liu Li, as the commander of the forbidden army, can think so, but Wang Xuance can't.

Because this would change the methods he had thought about using the forbidden army during this time, and once he changed these tactics, he would not be able to effectively control the casualties of his troops.

Although there are no immortals in a war, but with Li Yuanji's advice, Wang Xuance can only think of more ways to avoid more casualties, obviously, the arrival of the forbidden army has given Wang Xuance more tactical options.

And through this period of understanding, Wang Xuance also has a deeper understanding of the forbidden army.

He felt more and more that this forbidden army was the trump card in his hands.

But is Wang Xuance an ordinary general? In his mind, there was never the word clumsy.

Especially under Li Yuanji's advice, he can't hide it even more, since he can see the role of the forbidden army, he should send them to the place where they are most needed.

Where are they most needed? Where it is possible to inflict huge casualties on the troops, the forbidden army's attack method can be regarded as a thousand archers with long-range precision strikes, which is relatively deadly on the battlefield.

In particular, they have a frightening rate of fire, with an average of five rounds taking only 10 to 15 breaths, which will be a good help for the expeditionary force.

As a result, a large amount of oil paper was sent to the camp, which then became the new equipment of the forbidden army.

Oil paper is not rare, even a lot, it is mainly used in umbrellas, at the same time, when people build houses, if the economic conditions at home do not allow, can not afford to buy a large number of bricks and tiles, they will also choose to spread a layer of oil paper on the roof, and then cover it with other things, so that you can prevent the roof from leaking as much as possible.

As long as the oiled paper is not damaged, the practicality is still very good, and this thing is not expensive.

So, half a month later, there was another incomprehensible material in the list of materials transported, oil paper.

Even in order to facilitate the wrapping of rifles and bullets, people are specially customized according to the size of the tested oiled paper, and the size is divided into two types, one is used to wrap the rifle, and the other is used to wrap the bullet.

And the biggest advantage is that after the troops leave the water, they can directly tear the oil paper and put it into battle, and the time is only a few breaths more than before, which has no impact at all on the Tang Dynasty, where the equipment situation is seriously asymmetrical.

It is not difficult to swim in arms, and at this time the soldiers do not carry too much equipment on their backs, as long as they can swim.

After solving the problem of water ingress and dampness, only half a month later, the forbidden army moved on to the next training subject, shooting on the ship and hitting the target as much as possible.

This subject is not available in the Marine Corps, and it was specially added by Wang Xuance later.

For bows and arrows, this may not be difficult, because the requirements are different, but for rifles, they are inherently unstable, and it is even more difficult to accurately determine the probability of hitting the target.
