The difficulty of training an officer far exceeds that of an ordinary soldier.

Officers need to learn some new knowledge and master them proficiently during their four-year career in the military academy.

And a soldier only needs to learn that part of the skill, and the rest is practice makes perfect.

Although it is not comprehensive and somewhat one-sided, for example, officers and soldiers are roughly equivalent to the relationship between mental workers and manual workers.

Of course, this does not mean that officers do not need to master the skills of killing enemies, soldiers do not need to learn to use their brains, and the army has minimized the weaknesses of the two and made them look more balanced as much as possible.

Datang Shangwu, even after a few years of reform, still has not been able to change this atmosphere.

Li Yuanji also had no intention of changing this martial spirit.

The current literati are not weak scholars like the later Song Dynasty, and it may be a problem to go into battle to kill the enemy, but there is still no difficulty in an ordinary fight.

For military schools, this is enough, it is enough to have a foundation, and the others can be practiced next.

Besides, there are only a few tricks commonly used in the army, practice makes perfect, and in his four-year military school career, he spends a quarter of an hour every day to practice, and four years can also make him adapt to battlefield life.

Therefore, these trainee officers who have just come out of the military academy do not look as weak as those who can only read.

Of course, there is another reason.

That is, these people are not favored, and although their grades in military schools are very good, they are still not favored by most people.

In this regard, Li Yuanji is not good at going his own way, so he can only hope that these more than 100 students will completely break the contempt of the outside world for them.

"My name is Xue Li, the word is Rengui, I was ordered to serve as the temporary platoon commander of our platoon this time, I hope that in the next battle, I can work together with you to achieve good results on the battlefield, and most importantly, we will work together to bring our subordinates back from Goguryeo alive." As soon as he was assigned to the company, Xue Rengui summoned the five squad leaders under him.

This time, the above can be regarded as a problem for them, the change of commander before the war, although a platoon commander is not an important position, but for a platoon, this position is very important.

He was able to affect the lives of fifty-five people and affect their future.

Without any adaptation, when he arrives in the army today, he will set off tomorrow, and he does not even have the most basic tacit understanding, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for a grassroots commander and fighter.

In fact, with Xue Rengui's ability, there is no problem in directly serving as a company commander.

Because when they were in the military academy, from the second year, they had a platoon of soldiers under them, and from the third year, they increased to a company.

They know how to command a platoon and how to command a company, but those can only be considered on paper.

If you don't have real battlefield experience, can the previous training be considered experience?

To say that there is no preparation, it is false, and there is real preparation, as early as a long time ago, they were told that they would only be considered qualified after going to the battlefield for training.

But no one told them which battlefield to go to and what kind of way to train.

Now, here's the experience.

Xue Rengui's heart is not nervous, nor is he afraid, his knowledge reserve is completely sufficient, and although it is a bit of a paper feeling in the military academy, in fact, it has been simulated and realized as much as possible.

In terms of experience in leading soldiers, he has been accumulating it for two and a half years now, and the company under his command has been led very well.

Xue Rengui's opening remarks made the five veteran squad leaders who had experienced a hundred battles not know how to respond.

Because no one has ever talked to them like this, and even if they do, they are told in private, very vaguely, rather than telling them as directly as they do now, that they go to the battlefield just to come back alive.

For a moment, they even sensed the officer's cowardice.

"My thinking may be a little different from yours, after all, it is difficult for someone like me who came out of a military school to be the same as you in terms of thinking." Xue Rengui clearly realized that his words had made the five squad leaders suspicious, and even had a crisis of confidence in himself, and he had to solve this problem immediately.

This is a collision of old and new ideas, and he also thought it was wrong in the past, which would indirectly give soldiers the illusion of survival first.

Under the shroud of such thinking, it is very difficult for an army to display the spirit of daring to fight and fight, and what is directly affected is the issue of the army's combat effectiveness.

But now, Xue Rengui didn't think so, and continued: "As early as a few years ago, I felt the same as you now, but the difference is that it was Your Majesty who told me this, so I can't doubt it, and I can't question it, and then after the passage of time, I gradually realized the correctness of this sentence, who said that soldiers must die?" Who says you can't do your job well except by dying?

Death, you can, but death must be valuable, knowing that it is death, knowing that you can't see any future, you still have to send it to death, that is not bravery, but stupidity.

Therefore, in the next battle, I hope you can let down the guard in your heart, I will not let you die easily, I will take you with you, and do your best to make contributions.

Of course, regarding my internship evaluation, in addition to the company commander has the right to comment, your five squad leaders, as well as fifty soldiers, all have this qualification, if anyone is unhappy with me, you can give a bad review in the subsequent evaluation, but before that, I hope everyone can do the prohibition of the order. ”

The collision of ideas is the biggest problem.

No matter what era it is placed in, it is the same.

The closure of the country and the industrial movement were the collisions of ideas, and the result was the destruction of the Beiyang Naval Division, the fall of the capital, and the fall of half of the country.

World War I and World War II were also a collision of ideas, the Germans, who were more advanced in thought, brought the armored forces to the greatest role, so they succeeded in the early stage, and in the later stage, the Allies also accepted this idea, and only then did they turn defeat into victory.

Reform and opening up is also a collision of ideas, one after the other, the living environment of the whole country, the answer is clear at a glance.

Now, it is also a collision of ideas, and the first thing that appears is that in the army, a new kind of thinking collides with old ideas.

The current Tang Army is undoubtedly the most powerful, it has no opponents, and with their current level and current equipment, they are fully capable of crushing any enemy.

But the problem is that if it doesn't keep up in time in terms of ideology, then the upper limit of the Tang Army will be here.

When the sports war encounters the Maginot Line, it will be tragically discovered that for more than ten years, countless funds have been smashed into the defense line, but it has not played any role, which is a collision of ideas.

Li Yuanji believes that there is only one army that is forever invincible, and that is an army that is constantly looking for its own weaknesses and constantly seeking progress.

He instilled this idea in the one hundred and seven cadets of the military academy, and as for those officers who studied in the army, they also instilled some of them to a greater or lesser extent, but in fact they did not have much effect.

Their thinking has basically been solidified, and even if they can change, the scope of change is very limited, and the effect is far less than that of cultivating a new person.

Xue Rengui has proven himself in history, so Li Yuanji also attaches great importance to his training, not only entrusting Li Jing to teach him some art of war, but also finding many officers and soldiers with rich battlefield experience to teach them, of course, Li Yuanji's edification is indispensable.

The five old squad leaders have nothing to say, military regulations are so.

The trainee platoon commander, that is also the platoon commander, that is also their direct leader, they have the right to suggest, but they have no right to refuse the order of the leader.

Although I didn't feel very good about Xue Rengui at the beginning, or I couldn't agree with his way of thinking, I finally nodded and agreed.

There are only two ways to completely solve this situation, one is to change other people's minds little by little through long-term contact, and the other is to prove to them that their own thoughts are correct and effective.

In any case, Xue Rengui's first goal was achieved.

Next, Xue Rengui began to ask the five old squad leaders about the situation of their respective classes, and the inquiries were about various aspects, including physical strength, shooting, melee level, and so on.

He even asked in detail whether there were any soldiers in each class with special skills, which seemed to be useless most of the time, but in some cases, they could play a vital role.

Xue Rengui wrote down these characteristics one by one, and did not take a pen and paper to memorize them, but memorized them in his heart.

Of course, for him, there is no need to remember so clearly, he only needs to write down which of the five classes has the strongest comprehensive ability, which one is biased towards which aspect, and what kind of talents are in the class.

Besides, this is not something that a commander should do, but it refers to a new commander like him, and it is still no problem to stay together for a long time.

It's like the company he led at the military academy, he can clearly call out everyone's name, and say their strengths and recent performances, but now it's impossible, he can't do it, he's also a man, not a god.

A brief understanding gave Xue Rengui a certain understanding of the platoon he was in, and he didn't know what the situation of the other platoons was, but judging from the current understanding, the combat effectiveness of this platoon was not as good as his company in the military academy, but it was barely enough.
