Chapter 45: Training

"Stand upright!" "Look forward and right!" "Look ahead!" "Count!"

You heard it right, this is the sound of the beginning of the army's exercise, and the escort team of Young Master Liang is open!

The Hainan training base has been completed, and all the team members have been transported in place. It's just that the number of people is a bit excessive, the original first batch of about 1,000 people, now there are more than 2,500 people, fortunately, the place is large enough, and the base is also built according to the standard of 5,000 people, so as not to cause crowding.

The long-awaited U.S. munitions also arrived three days ago, and with the ship came 14 U.S. instructors, including five artillery instructors (difficult to find jobs after retirement), one lieutenant, two ensigns, and two sergeants.

There were three instructors in the machine gun crew, one second lieutenant and two sergeants.

There were only two communications instructors, a second lieutenant with a sergeant.

Four engineer instructors came, and all of them were officers, a captain, a lieutenant and two ensigns, the most powerful.

So the highest rank among the instructors of the US Army is Captain - an engineer officer. The composition of this instructor group is a bit strange, and the most important infantry instructor is not a single one!

However, this is what Young Master Liang asked, because although the US military in this era had just finished the Civil War and had a lot of combat experience, how could their infantry training methods and infantry tactics be compared with Young Master Liang, a major general of the People's Liberation Army? Although Young Master Liang is a second-hand sword, if you talk about the cognition of the army, there is no one in this world who can compare to him!

Due to the overstaffing, Master Liang has a big hand, uh wrong, it's a wave of a small hand! The battalion was expanded into a regiment, and the Liang family guard regiment was established, with himself as the head of the regiment and the fifth uncle Liang Haowen as the deputy commander. The Escort Regiment consisted of a 1st Teaching Battalion, a 2nd Teaching Battalion and an Engineer Battalion.

The reason why an additional engineer battalion was set up was because after half a month of training, a group of unresponsive, relatively clumsy team members, and poor physical coordination were selected to be selected, and it was more difficult for these people to be trained into qualified soldiers, and their own efforts would have to surpass those of others. And these young men who have been eliminated from the combat ranks are not necessarily bad as sappers, and they may be better at enduring hardships and standing hard work.

The camp is very large. An infantry squad consists of twelve people, one each of the squad leader and the squad deputy.

An infantry platoon consists of three squads, one platoon commander and two deputy platoon commanders, a total of 39 people.

An infantry company consists of three infantry platoons and a machine gun platoon. The machine gun platoon has a machine gun squad of 12 people, equipped with two Gatling machine guns; Three artillery squads consisted of thirty-six men, each equipped with two twelve-pounder guns. The company headquarters has a company commander, two deputy company commanders, one instructor, two deputy instructors, two clerks, two orderlies, three communicators, and six medical soldiers (not yet staffed), and a reconnaissance squad, an engineer squad, a baggage squad, and a cooking squad, totaling 235 people.

The training battalion consists of three infantry companies and one artillery company. The artillery company consisted of two artillery platoons and a garrison platoon, and one artillery platoon was equipped with six 24-pounder guns. The battalion headquarters consists of a battalion commander, two deputy battalion commanders, one instructor, two deputy instructors, three staff officers, three clerks, three service officers, a reconnaissance platoon, a guard platoon, an engineer platoon, a baggage platoon, a communications squad, a cooking squad, and an infirmary (18 people, temporarily vacant), totaling 1,088 people.

The escort regiment consists of two training battalions and an engineer battalion, a heavy artillery company, the heavy artillery company is equipped with 12 32-pounder guns, the regiment headquarters has a regimental commander, a deputy regiment commander, a regimental instructor, a deputy instructor, a staff office, an instructor's office, a logistics office, an equipment office, a guard reconnaissance company, a special combat team, a communications class, a service clerk class, a baggage platoon, a cooking class, and a field hospital (temporarily absent). The total number of people is about 3,000.

Liang Sihan served as the head of the escort regiment, the regimental instructor and the commander of the first battalion, Liang Haowen served as the deputy commander, and the deputy instructor and the commander of the second battalion.

This establishment designed by Young Master Liang highlights artillery, engineers, and other technical arms, strengthens logistics transportation capabilities and battlefield medical capabilities, attaches importance to the role of scouts, and the special combat team attached to the regimental headquarters is the first in the world at present. After the training of this unit is completed, whether it is offensive or defensive, it can be called the strongest force on the surface of the world, because today's European and American armies are still using the combat mode of queuing up to shoot. This mode of formation is no problem against the Japanese army in World War II.

The management of the troops is also very scientific, and all military salaries are paid by the logistics department according to the actual situation; every officer and soldier has an account in the Liangjia Qian Village, and there is no need to handle cash; officers have no way to deduct the salaries of corrupt soldiers; weapons and ammunition are examined and distributed by the equipment department; in peacetime, the troops only keep a small amount of ammunition, and only when there is a combat mission, a large amount of ammunition will be issued, so as to prevent some officers from forming gangs and factions to engage in counterinsurgency and turmoil.

Two deputy positions have been set up for each officer at the company and battalion level in order to train more junior officers for the needs of future army expansion.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the troops ultimately depends on people, on the well-trained individual soldiers, and on the tactical literacy of officers.

Therefore, military training is the first priority of Young Master Liang, and he, a military industry expert, has used his brains very much to formulate a scientific and detailed training plan according to local conditions.

Every morning at six o'clock, the bugle sounded, and he and all the instructors waited at the training ground. It is stipulated that all team members must be present at 6:15 to line up, and those who arrive late will be punished by not being allowed to eat breakfast. In this day and age, eating is as important as the sky, so no member of the team has ever been late.

After the queue, a five-kilometer jog was carried out, and Young Master Liang took the lead in running first, and he, the head of the regiment (still a teenager), took the lead, so no one would fall behind or desert.

After running, the queue training is carried out in the company or platoon as a unit, this kind of training is very difficult for these players who are not divided between left and right, most of them are illiterate, and it takes a long time for them to adapt, but this kind of training is necessary, so that each team member can know the concept of the overall team, distinguish the front and back, and have a sense of direction.

At 7:30, tidy up personal hygiene, eat breakfast, and rest.

At 8:30, all gathered at the training ground to participate in comprehensive training, according to the training mode of the People's Liberation Army, Master Liang designed trenches, ponds, single-plank bridges, wooden fence obstacles, simulated city wall obstacles, barbed wire barriers, mountain creeping and barbed wire under the creeping fast pass, multi-person cooperation to lift logs, ladders and other training methods, the team members were tortured to death, however, everyone saw that Master Liang, the head of the regiment, was silent and bored training, no one would have an opinion, in the Qing Dynasty, where the concept of hierarchy is very heavy, The officers with the highest positions have taken the lead in doing it, and the following team members will consciously do it, and there is no need to do any ideological work, otherwise he will look down on himself. Ten o'clock, rest.

At 10:15 a.m., the artillery, machine gunners, engineers, and communications troops began training under the guidance of US military instructors.

The infantry is under the leadership of Master Liang himself, and conducts a variety of multi-person cooperation and teamwork tactical training, and the PLA's three-three system tactics have been introduced seventy years in advance, but now these team members will certainly not understand the advanced nature of this tactic, but they are slowly impressed by this young but knowledgeable commander, and the brand of Liang Jiajun is slowly imprinted in their hearts.

At 11:45 a.m., the training is over, tidy up personal hygiene, and rest.

Twelve o'clock, lunch, rest.

At 1:30 p.m., the cultural class is studied. Basic Chinese and simple English are taught by those translators, and Master Liang sometimes teaches himself. At 2:45 a.m., the cultural class ends and we rest.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, shooting training, infantry shooting, artillery shooting, sappers digging fortifications and shooting took turns training. Ends at 5 p.m. with a break.

5:30 p.m., dinner, rest.

At 6:30 p.m., the instructors of each branch of the armed forces will give lectures on relevant knowledge. Of course, Young Master Liang also taught the infantry officers and soldiers about the history of war, various combat methods in history, the development of military science and technology, the reform of the army, the development of tactics, and so on, so that the officers and soldiers could worship him even more.

At eight o'clock, the class ends, rests, and washes.

At nine o'clock in the evening, go to bed on time.

In addition, every Sunday, a reloading field training is carried out, starting from the training base, climbing over two small hills, and resting for half an hour at the steel plant before turning back. Closed on Sunday afternoons.

The team that won the first place was rewarded for eating braised pork, and the team that won the last place was punished for flushing the toilet. The officers and soldiers of the Liang family army laughingly called this regulation: the leader eats meat, and the end eats!
