Chapter 55: Intensive Training
He Jianye, who had received Ding Zongxian's permission, immediately went to the new barracks and asked Zeng to blow the whistle to gather, and after 5 minutes, all the personnel were assembled, and the instructor on duty stepped aside after the report.
Zeng Da took out a roster, opened it, and said to all the recruits, "Next, those who read their names will be listed, and the rest of those who have not read their names will be brought back by the guard platoon to continue training." ”
"Tian Zugui, Yang Yongping, Song Chengrong, He Guangquan, Li Qiang, Li Mingguang, Chen Hongping......" With Zeng Da's voice, the recruits below stood in the line in a loud answer, and after 20 minutes, more than 600 people who were left by He Jianye alone gathered and stood in place, and the rest of the recruits continued to train under the leadership of the guard platoon.
He Jianye sorted out his military uniform, stood in front of this group of people, and said loudly, "You are all the best in this batch of recruits, and you are all the best in the training ground. ”
"The children of peasant families, those who can't eat enough at home are out of the ranks."
"No smoking and drinking"
.......
After a long 30 minutes, there were still more than 500 eligible people on the right, and He Jianye said to the remaining dozens of people, "All the rest will return to the recruit company and continue training." ”
On May 19, 1935, He Jianye still came to the regiment headquarters according to the request of Deputy Brigade Commander Ding, and when he saw He Jianye entering the door, Ding Zongxian said. "Brother He, from the day after tomorrow, I will dare to take up my post in the 8th Brigade. In the future, I hope that the elder brother can take care of the affairs of the supplementary regiment first. As for the new recruits, I was asked to take them all to Fujian, but I promised my brother that the 500 recruits would still be left for you. ”
"Thanks to the brigade commander's attention, the humble post will definitely bring the rest of the men and horses well!" He Jianye said,
On May 21, 1935, He Jianye went to Nanchang Station to bid farewell to Ding Zongxian, turned back to the barracks, and began to rebuild the camp construction according to his own ideas, ready to train these 500 outstanding recruits, as for how many qualified in the end depends on the will of God, but He Jianye thinks that people in this era are particularly able to endure hardships, as long as the food keeps up, plus he brings it every day, it will definitely be better than most elites in this era.
On the afternoon of May 33, 1935, He Jianye organized the personnel left behind in the camp to make all kinds of things by themselves, some people were knocking on wooden stakes, some people were digging trenches, and when dinner came, I saw that next to the training ground in the camp, there were five-step piles, trenches, low walls, high slab jumping platforms, horizontal ladders, single-plank bridges, high walls, low pile nets, aerial soft nets (converted from fishing nets) and other facilities were restored with all kinds of wood and stones according to the memory content that He Jianye saw on TV in later generations, and the soldiers were sweating profusely. They were all wondering if the battalion commander was making a fuss, but the next morning, everyone understood that this was to clean them up. In the following time, He Jianye personally led this group of qualified recruits to carry out various trainings received in Germany, such as combat skills training, infiltration skills training, reconnaissance and latent skills training, field survival training, battlefield emergency ambulance, and the ability to drive a car.
One day in June, the uninhabited hills around Nanchang basically became a place for He Jianye to conduct field lurking and reconnaissance training, as for the wilderness survival training, it was very easy to do, throw these people into the uninhabited mountains, bring a piece of miscellaneous grain cake and a pot of water, equipped with a bayonet to enter for two days, and be qualified if they can come out by themselves (it's not that they don't want to train guns, it's that Brigade Commander Ding took away all the guns in the battalion, and left 50 Hanyang-made guns for He Jianye, or the main force was eliminated, and He Jianye checked the rifling and the rifling was gone).
At the end of July 1935, He Jianye assessed the level of leading the troops, and found that not all of them could complete the training subjects, and there were less than 200 people who could complete all the training subjects and the results were good, including himself and the two guards Yang Xiaoshi and Zeng Da who brought him, and the remaining 300 people each had good and bad results, and some people could complete reconnaissance very well, but other aspects were lacking. According to the situation, He Jianye found that not everyone can practice according to this standard, or they will not be able to practice well in the end. Of course, this is only He Jianye's standard, in fact, in the eyes of professional soldiers in this era, this group of people is already called soldiers, if these people are handed over to the army, those division commanders can fight in order to grab people.
On August 12, 1935, He Jianye stood on the playground of the Nanchang military camp, looking at the 512 people below, He Jianye's face couldn't suppress his excitement, and the smile filled his whole face. Maybe I'll have to rely on them in the future.
"Brothers, after nearly three months of training, everyone has felt that your training is very cruel, some people have even been injured in the training, and they have reached the current level, I can proudly tell you that you can teach you on the training ground, you have basically finished learning, but you are still far from the elite in my mind, where is the difference? In actual combat, you have not been tested in actual combat. Starting today, you will attack in batches, and the target is all the bandit cottages around Jiangxi; All the food I have subsidized for you in the past six months should also be earned back for me, and my money is not blown by the wind! If you have eaten mine, you will return it. Destroy all the bandit cottages you know, remember, if there is a reward, bring me the head, and I will receive the reward. He Jianye smiled as he spoke,
Let's group you down, there is no group leader one, two deputy team leaders, and thirty team members. As for the group, according to the needs of your mission, the team leader can temporarily appoint a team leader.
"Group 1: Team Leader Li Qiang, Deputy Team Leaders Liu Min and Li Bo, Members: Chen Bo, Yang Ping, Zhang Bo ......"
"Group 2: Team Leader Liu Fagui, Deputy Team Leader Xie Guohua, Zhu Yunsong, Members: Shang Wei, Zhu Huayang, Yang Zhiheng, ......."
"Group 15: Team Leader He Guangquan, Deputy Team Leader Li Mingguang, Sheng Dinghai, Members: Zhu Yun, Liu Zaohua, Chen Jianzhong, ......"
"In addition, each group is equipped with a wartime military discipline supervisor, if someone dares to violate discipline, I will say it first, military law is ruthless, every brother can report, in addition to the pension of the Ministry of Military Affairs who died in this actual combat training, I personally prepared 50 oceans each, of course, those who are afraid of death can also be deserters, but you must first consider the consequences, you don't want to be a soldier You can tell me, I approve your withdrawal, but I hate deserters the most, I will not arrest you back, you can consider the consequences."
"From now on, I will give you a chance to choose, I am willing to continue to stay with me He Jianye, take a step forward, I am not reluctant if I don't want to, you can quit."
