Chapter 218: In the Camp. Maintenance (text)
In the distance, the crackling sound of some kind of fire gun could be heard, and the smoke floating in the sky was quickly carried away by the sea breeze.
There were more shirtless soldiers, under the scorching sun, with stabs, knives, spears and clubs in their hands, forming a team to make a certain crackling sound, although everyone was a little tired, drenched in sweat, and looked in good spirits,
Although it has been back in Guangfu for some time, the intensity of training in the battalion has obviously not been lowered due to the comfortable daily life, but because of the limited space, the original long-distance trekking and mountain climbing and cross-country projects, as well as camouflaged ambushes and counter-reconnaissance projects, cannot be realized, and can only carry out some equipment training
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that I urgently needed a long-term residence outside of Guangfu.
On the one hand, there is enough space and space to carry out battlefield simulations, armed training, and expansion under various circumstances, and in the long run, all kinds of inputs and costs are much cheaper and more frugal than squeezing into this densely populated and expensive land area of Guangfugi.
On the other hand, as some eyes gradually pay attention to our troops, and some things that are obviously leapfrogging and forward-looking, it is becoming more and more difficult to hide from others. Especially staying in Guangfu, which is crowded with people. All kinds of covetous eyes and noises will definitely not be less.
It would be even better if it was an island, the natural closure of the sea was naturally conducive to the blockade and secrecy of all kinds of information, and it was also relatively conducive to maintaining the purity and unity of the troops, after all, in the flowery world of Guangfu, the temptation and influence of the strange were almost everywhere.
In the short term, it is okay to emphasize discipline and order, but in the long run, it is necessary to fight against the inertia of the soldiers' human nature, which is greedy for pleasure and comfort, and it is not an easy task
After all, my subordinates are still a unit with my own distinctive colors in the context of the great era, not the revolutionary vanguard and soldiers who were armed with revolutionary theories and firm convictions watered with blood and selected by the times in later generations.
However, although there are many natural islands in the vicinity of Kinai, there are not many options that meet the requirements, because they must be close enough to facilitate the needs of daily rotation and emergency mobilization, and they must also have sufficient area and various terrain to facilitate all kinds of maneuvers and training of troops.
Abundant people and wildlife are also needed, after all, I just asked for a station and training environment, not for the troops to play the game of survival on a desert island, and it is better to have a certain degree of concealment, which can effectively isolate all kinds of daily contact and infiltration with unknown motives when needed.
In this way, I only need to maintain a small number of emergency mobile men and horses in Guangfu, and the rest will be rotated to the island station on a regular basis to conduct my own personal characteristics of military theory and tactical system of trial and cultivation.
In this way, the choice is quite limited, and those islands with relatively superior conditions, natural harbors, or located near navigation arteries, basically already have owners, either occupied by large trading companies as cargo yards, or by sailors and others, rowing through a military forbidden area in a sense.
can only be in the remaining range, slowly survey and search,
Xin Jiaxuan's group of officers and non-commissioned officers from the professional class have also finished visiting relatives and vacations, and they have returned to the army in advance with some satisfaction, and they have also brought some juniors and juniors who speak Wudong as new blood and supplements.
Thanks to the good news of the good prospects of serving in the army, the situation of this martial arts preparatory school has improved, and the number of students who have applied for the school has also increased a lot in recent years.
On the other hand, I let those veterans and non-commissioned officers who were born in the feudal clan and were born in the country go to short-term refresher and supplementary courses in basic military knowledge, mixing sand with each other, so as not to let one dominate.
The excitement and spirit brought by the previous promotion are still continuing, so even if it is a little harsh and hard, it can still maintain a good state.
The unlucky Du Shiyi is also among them, the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, after he was swept out of the Beijing Normal University Hall, not only lost his source of income, but even the debtors came to the door, because he had no teaching identity, so these debt collectors took some drastic measures, and then he was angry and beaten half to death,
As a result, I didn't want things to be so big, the debt collector went back to spend the night and died, and then the other party's family took the voucher and carried the body to the official, seeing that he was about to lose his reputation and be in prison, my pacesetter captain Mu Long appeared in time with a call-up.
After giving the other party a large sum of money, and exerting pressure from the official side, threatening to investigate the fault of the other party's family for taking care of the other party and causing death, he pressed the matter down and pulled him back from the brink of collapse in disrepute.
However, he was still full of some doubts and worries about us, a "little-known" man, for fear that it was just some kind of foreign turtle with a false name, and it was only when he saw that our station was in a regular barracks and that the equipment was quite sophisticated, so he pinched his nose and accepted his fate.
With the fifteen-year service period to repay the cost of getting rid of the trouble for him, it can also be offset by merit, which is also the first incumbent professional background I have acquired, although it is a non-mainstream, but it is also somewhat symbolic.
Du Shiyi is a wise and strategic background, and he has done a good job of sand tables and charts, so he temporarily took on the role of counselor in the battalion, according to the principle of making the best use of things, since he likes to talk on paper, then provide conditions for him to engage in full-time theoretical retreat.
As a military group that has already taken shape, it also needs a variety of talents and roles, rather than a group of warriors who dare to fight.
The reason why there is a reduction from the previous one is that a group of people have been transferred to the Yizhou Boat Regiment and the local Yicong Society, so as to strengthen my strength and control in the local area.
Since I have seen such a scene, I can't help but itch, I took a few ready-made long and short guns, and used a drag-and-pull fixed and movable target to shoot from near and far ping pong.
Later, Yu Crisp took off his obstructive coat and personally demonstrated the fixation and sports shooting of various postures between running and climbing, which won a cheer.
To be honest, I haven't been comfortable for a long time, I have exercised intensely, I have slept until I wake up naturally all day long after returning home, and I am comfortable and comfortable with the company and flirting with the beautiful woman with red sleeves, which makes me feel a little
In the past, I traveled hard day and night in the grassland and fields covered with dense water network in Tiannan, and in the undulating mountains and forests of Tanjung Continent; While encouraging each other with the soldiers, taking the lead in gnawing salted fish and meat, fried noodles and cakes, and even tasting the seaman's rations for the dead, the experience and experience of sleeping in the open with all kinds of wind and food seems to be a very distant thing.
The staple food in the battlefield is soup cakes, sausages, a large bowl of chowder made of fish, chicken and duck eggs, which is also the most economical way to eat every day, with oil, water and calories.
If you are on a rapid march, you can only have a compressed ration flavored with seaweed or fish floss, and a sauce that can be used to soak in water, plus plums, and a little tea powder as a snack to refresh yourself.
For every five non-commissioned officers and above, there is an extra jar of salted candied fruit and erect enema, and then the enema is cut into shaving-like transparent slices in advance, and loaded into a small bag on the chest.
Then with the delay of the war and the lack of supplies, these things are only left with all kinds of compressed rations and boiled original paste soup, wild vegetable paste soup or small fish paste soup, and even in order to save the limited amount of water carried, there is no even paste soup, so you can only use stones or other hard objects, smashed into small pieces in the mouth and slowly soften, before chewing and swallowing.
If it weren't for my very good constitution in this life, I guess I would have been tortured with various chronic stomach diseases. The most delicious memories of this period are the bloody barbecued meat made by simply cutting up the cannon after the animals were injured or exhausted, and the fresh blood enema fried in plate oil.
However, after returning to Guangzhou, there are fresh sources of meat, fruits and vegetables, a variety of meat and vegetable stews, potted rice and flour steamed cakes, cold vegetable chowder, and seafood soup with miscellaneous fish, shrimp and crab, are the most common recipes.
Then for three days, two ends are provided with additional fried offal and miso roasted pork, small packets of sugar and tea, as snacks and consumption. In the corresponding season, there are also citrus, sugar cane, pineapple, and melon, which are used as corresponding water replenishment and heat relief.
Compared with the north, where sheep are the main source of meat, the Southern Dynasty can be said to have a lot of pigs, followed by dogs and rabbits, chickens, ducks and geese, and even buffaloes and other large animals, so the types and sources of meat are relatively richer.
As the leader of the battalion, Cui Tuzi is a typical northerner, so when he cooks, he is also full of a certain kind of cooking and roasting, full of oil and water and dripping soup style of heavy oil and sauce, which is quite popular in the army after hard training and boiling.
Today's side dish is fried pumpkin balls and stir-fried liver with yam, a typical Huaiyang dish mixed with local Cantonese ingredients. The staple food is stewed with vermicelli.
After a simple and enthusiastic meal, I went to check the condition of the most precious artillery group in the battalion.
After two expansions and reorganization, it has reached more than 100 people, but after all, this is a quite technical class, even if there are skilled guns and old people from the Shenji Army, it is not so easy to get started, not only requires good eyesight and memory, but also needs the corresponding writing and arithmetic skills.
Fortunately, I have emphasized in the camp that I have invested in various amateur literacy popularization classes and short-term evening classes, and the people who teach them are also from the group of old people who teach Wudong studies.
Despite this, so far, we can only select and run in again and again, and barely make up five groups of people who can make do with it, and the others can only be used as auxiliaries for miscellaneous helpers, and other firearms as cover.
And what they can handle, that is, the three sampan cannons used by the marines, as for the other five big guys, they are all shady gains, and they can't be used justifiably.
It can only be made into molds of similar volume and weight, and some practice and familiarization can be carried out first. Of course, even if you have a real thing in today's situation, it can only be a simulated exercise of artillery carriage equipment, and the final step to shoot the shell out and verify the hit and distance must be omitted.
After all, if you really want to fire artillery in Guangfu, it will be a big incident, after all, this is a heavy weapon strictly controlled by the imperial court, and the left and near are the garrisons of the navy, sailors, and defense forces......
This is one of the reasons why I desperately need an external base, and similarly, once the smuggling routes in the north are successfully opened, I also need a sheltered enough out-of-the-box to serve as a transit hall for risk avoidance and spying.
When I think of this, I am looking forward to the results of Genjiuro's side even more, as an old righteous servant who is good at sea battles, he is leading the manpower I have strengthened to him, and according to the guidance of the old crab, he is sweeping the strongholds and hideouts of those smugglers that originally belonged to Feng Shisan.
Maybe you can surprise me a little.
