"Today, we're going to train for survival in the wild!" The instructor of the tactics class continued to speak in his sonorous tone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Survival in the wild has never been a problem for our army!

Because, the process of our army from small to large, from weak to strong, this directly illustrates our ability to survive in the wild.

For example, during the period of the Red Army, our Red Army did not have fixed barracks or fixed supplies, so the officers and men strictly implemented the "three major disciplines and six points of attention," practiced simple survival in the wilderness, and demonstrated a strong ability to survive in the wilderness.

"Obey the command in action, don't take a sweet potato from the masses, and fight local tyrants to return to the public." These three disciplines show that the Red Army has no ready-made supplies and needs to obtain limited supplies from the local tyrants.

"Return the door panels, bundle and lay the grass, speak kindly, buy and sell fairly, do not pull the servants, invite the servants to give money, and do not beat and scold people." These six points of attention show that when the Red Army camped, it did not have a uniform bedding and no standard equipment, but borrowed a door panel from the common people, and then spread some hay, and then spent the night, and every two mornings, they put the straw on the bundling, and returned the borrowed door panel to the common people, so as to live a life where the sky was a house and the ground was a bed.

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were able to receive a limited number of supplies issued by the Nationalist Government, but in the later period, due to the blockade of the reactionaries, these supplies were gone, so they had to "do it themselves, have enough food and clothing", open up wasteland and cultivate land, and feed themselves. At this time, the ability to survive in the wild is also very strong.

During the War of Liberation, with the advancement of the war and the improvement of weapons and equipment, a large number of standard equipment were captured, but the ability of officers and men to survive in the field was still very strong. There is still no fixed barracks, where to go, where to live, where to fight.

In particular, after the liberation of Shanghai, the troops insisted on not entering civilian houses and camped on the streets, and advanced models such as the "Good 10 Companies on the Nanjing Road" emerged.

On the one hand, it shows that our troops are strictly disciplined and have not committed any crimes in the autumn. On the other hand, it also shows that our army has a strong ability to survive in the wild.

During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the officers and men of the volunteers even used their flesh and blood to block the US troops south of the 38th parallel on the 3,000-mile rivers and mountains, reflecting their stronger ability to survive in the wild.

After returning to China, along with the advancement of the regularization of the troops, the military regions were divided, and all units had fixed barracks, and the salary system and supply system were implemented, and the living conditions were greatly improved.

However, how to improve the troops' ability to fight, eat, shelter, and hide is still an important issue that must be resolved in the course of military training.

If, because of the needs of military tasks, the troops arrive in a completely unfamiliar territory and lose their daily normal supplies, how can they survive.

It must be addressed.

The course we are taking today is designed to solve this problem.

As for the problem of the survival of the organization above the company level, we do not consider it, and the first thing we need to solve is the problem of the survival of individual soldiers. ”

After a long period of discussion, the instructor finally got back to the point.

"To survive in the wild, first of all, you have to have a rucksack.

In the grassroots units of our army, some front-line units have been issued with standard backpacks. But in the vast majority of companies, it is not yet equipped.

If you don't have a backpack, you'll need to hit a backpack. We've already learned how to hit a backpack, and as we do today, I'm not going to be verbose.

The advantage of a rucksack is that it spreads most of its weight on the hips – the body's most resilient and extremely hard-working fulcrum – rather than on the shoulders or back, which are tired and overwhelmed like a backpack.

The rucksack has a strong and comfortable waistband. The internal frame is lighter, the outer frame is stronger, and it solves more annoying loading problems, and it is more useful for loading bulky items, even the sick and wounded in an emergency.

Moreover, it is made of strong and waterproof fabric. There is also a layer of lining, which can not only prevent water infiltration, but also prevent the contents from leaking. The side pockets are also useful, and the pouch opening is a safe and easy zipper.

For convenience, it's a good idea to keep everything in a variety of clear poly bags, so that you can easily know where each item is, and at the same time make sure that the items you need first are not placed at the bottom.

The sleeping bag can be placed at the bottom, and the tent should be placed on the top. Heavy items such as radios should also be placed on the upper part to make it easier to carry.

Keep the stove and various cooking utensils in the side pockets so that they are easy to take out when you sit down. Foods that are easy to cook should be brought, and salt should be kept in a suitable container.

In warmer weather, you can bring some cold food, just make sure you can get enough hot drinks.

In severe cold weather, bring more high-fat foods and sugars.

The exact proportion of food can be determined according to one's taste, but it is important to ensure that there is a good balance between the various types of nutrients and that they are adequately supplied.

Of course, there is also an important piece of equipment, a grain bag, which usually contains enough food for a person for a week. ”

The instructor was still talking vividly, "Bring your backpack, and the next question is how to live: camping."

The first is the choice of camping sites, which should adhere to the following principles:

If you are in a higher open area, you should move downward;

If the ground is unbearably wet, move upwards.

The ideal location should be higher up to protect it from wind and rain and flash floods, and it will not be threatened by rockfalls or avalanches.

Hot air is less dense than cold air, so there is often a build-up of cold air in the valley.

When the temperature is low, it is easy for wet fog and frost to form.

In some areas, there are many platforms along the hillside that receive rainwater, which are wetter.

The rest of the hillside is drier.

The ideal location should also be close to a water source with plenty of available trees nearby.

Don't pitch your tent too close to the water source, as the sound of running water will interfere with your judgment and you won't be aware of the danger.

Tents should be built on the shore beyond what the maximum flow of the flood can reach – a mountain creek can turn into a turbulent torrent within minutes of a rainstorm, and the water level can rise by five meters in an hour!

In the open field, floodwaters can even extend beyond the river channel.

Torrential rain from nearby mountains and rivers can easily turn into a rolling flood that will hit you without warning.

Choose a location that is flat and free of too many rocks, so that you have enough space to send a distress signal and be easily spotted by rescuers.

Look around for dead trees that could fall during the next storm. 、

Stay away from tall trees that are lonely and lonely, as they can be targets for lightning. Being at the edge of the forest allows you to see what is happening around you.

Tents should not be set up on paths that are often run by wild beasts - because foraging beasts are very dangerous and troublesome, and there may be a group of beasts that have gone to drink water and step on the tents that have been so hard to set up in an instant.

But tents can be erected where there are traces of humans. Natural pits or caves can be used as improvised shelters.

If you're carrying camping gear, set up a tent and pile as much soft snow around as you can to keep warm.

The snow pits and craters are easily recognizable. If it is covered by heavy snow, it is not so easy to identify whether there are potholes in the coniferous forest or under the branches of trees.

Medium-sized trees may have gaps around their trunks, or a large tree may have a hole under a branch.

Dig under the branch in the leeward area with a hard object to check if there are any potholes. Shovels and saws are essential tools. ”

After a pause, the instructor continued, "At present, most of our troops do not have a standard small tent for individual soldiers, so it is very important to make shelters.

Today, let's focus on making shelters. ”

In advance, the instructor had arranged for the demonstration class to make a shelter on this hillside.

While pointing to the shelter, he explained to the students: "Use small saplings to make shelters: first find two rows of suitable saplings, remove the obstacles between each other, tie the corresponding saplings together to form a tent support, cover with a tarpaulin, press the edge of the ground with stones or logs, and the tent is built."

However, there are no suitable saplings for this season, so we use branches that are available everywhere and stick them in the ground instead.

After the shelter is built, it is necessary to do a good job of drainage and ventilation:

Dig a drainage ditch about 10 cm deep and 10 cm wide around the perimeter of the shed to keep the shed dry. For simple shelters, as long as they are not completely sealed, ventilation should be fine.

Shelter covering: waterproof poncho, mulch, plastic sheeting or canvas can be used as a cover for the shelter roof.

The excess is folded inward in the downhill direction to avoid surface water flowing into the shed.

When lying down and resting on the ground in the shed, be sure to spread dry materials such as hay to prevent moisture. ”

A knife is invaluable in the emergency field, and you should choose one that is suitable for normal use, sharp, and durable.

Local travelers generally choose folding knives with wooden handles and meniscus machetes with a blade of about 30 cm, which are most suitable for chopping wood, and even fairly thick logs can be easily cut, which is of great benefit for building sheds or rafts.

But for us soldiers, we don't need to use these.

What do you say to use? The instructor threw out the question.

"Report, with a bayonet!" Several students who responded quickly gave answers.

"That's right, with a bayonet. This is our unique condition. ”

"And food, how can we solve it?" The instructor asked again.

"Report, buy!" One of the students replied aloud, causing a burst of laughter.

"Buy, can't buy. Who sold it to you? No one has it, you have to do it yourself. The instructor also humorously replied loudly, "However, we have magical equipment." ”

The instructor called out to one of the cadets standing in front of him and ordered him to take off the sapper shovel and kettle.

Then he demonstrated: "The magic moment came. ”

Then, the kettle is removed from the canvas cover of the kettle, and as if by magic, a metal case in the shape of a kettle is removed from the outside of the kettle, and the handle is turned upside down to become a container with a handle.

Then, instruct the trainees to pour out a handful of rice from the rice bag and then pour half a pot of water from the kettle.

Then he said, "Make a fire underneath and the white rice will be cooked!" ”

"Next, cook!"

He took out an egg from his satchel, knocked a small hole on the side of the spade, told the student to hold the shovel handle, the spade was facing up, found the egg open, poured the yolk and egg green on the polished spade surface, and announced the answer, "Make a fire underneath, and the fried egg will be there!" ”

There was warm applause in the ranks of the cadets.

Yang Wenbin also applauded vigorously, "I didn't expect that the kettle and shovel I usually carry on my back have such a powerful function!" ”

Next, it's simple, each class follows the teacher's example, chooses a site, sets up a simple tent, and digs a drainage ditch.

Yang Wenbin got into the simple tent that had been set up, upward, it was the sky with white film, and downward, it was the ground with two layers of white film and raincoat, and towards his feet and left and right hands, it was the film, and his head was the opening with his back to the wind. Of course, there is also a mattress under him, and his body is covered with his own quilt, so you can really sleep with peace of mind.

Then, take out the kettle and sapper shovel, stew rice, omelette egg, and eat a nutritious picnic.
