Chapter 256 Swimming, a necessary skill for crossing the sea

The ultimate goal of the troops' maritime adaptability training is to enhance the troops' armed swimming capabilities. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, the highest form of maritime adaptive training is armed swimming training.

This is because, in sea-crossing and landing operations, armed swimming is an inevitable means to be used.

Armed swimming is a practical military skill that military personnel must master, and its training level directly determines the ability of military personnel to move in the special environment of "water", which has important practical combat significance and physical training value.

Armed swimming refers to swimming across rivers with weapons and equipment alone or in groups. Generally, breaststroke or side stroke are used to maintain body balance, observe the movement of the water surface, and make the swimming sound small.

When necessary, floating objects such as air bags, air bags, and air (wood) rafts can be used to swim in.

On the basis of the training to adapt to the water conditions in the early stage, the officers and men of the unit were basically familiar with the water nature, and in accordance with the training plan, the troops began to conduct breaststroke training, which is the basic basis of armed swimming.

Breaststroke training is mainly divided into two steps.

The first step is shore training.

On the beach, the officers and men of the company first formed a horizontal formation, and then spread out the formation, keeping a distance of two meters between the front, the back, the left and the right, and carried out arm paddling exercises.

During the exercise, the officers and soldiers stood in lunges, and at the same time cooperated with the inhalation and exhalation.

Once the arm stroke is complete, the leg exercises are followed.

The essentials of the movement are to lift your legs on the ground with both hands, and alternately perform the simulated exercise of closing your legs and turning your feet and pushing the water alternately.

After the arms and legs are practiced separately to familiarize themselves, the arm-leg combination training is performed.

According to local conditions, a platform is piled with sand, which is about knee-high.

During training, everyone lies on the stage with their upper body and legs suspended in the air, and then simulates the combination of arms and legs in the water.

The second step is underwater training.

As on land, start with leg exercises.

The officers and men lay on their stomachs in the shallow water, propping their hands on the ground, and at the same time folding their legs and turning their feet to kick the water.

Once you are familiar with the movements, move on to the arm exercises.

Arm exercises are done by two people working together. The first person lies on the water, the other person stands between the legs of the first person, and the hands support the thighs of the person in front of them, and the first person begins to practice.

Finally, it is necessary to do the exercises of combining arms and legs.

The first person lies on the surface of the water, the other person stands next to the first person, holding the stomach of the first person with both hands, and the first person begins to practice......

The person who exercises the arm strokes forward while showing his head and inhaling, retracting his hands and putting them under his chest, after inhaling, he gets into the water and exhales at the same time as he closes his legs and turns his feet, and then he stretches his arms forward with his legs together, and the whole body lies on the water surface and travels quickly.

Yang Wenbin used to be a landlubber, but he trained hard every day.

What he thinks about is that as a cadre, he is at the same starting point as the little soldier, and what others can do, why can't he do it himself.

You have to put more pressure on yourself, sweat more, and have a solid grasp of the essentials of the movements.

Hard work pays off.

After this period of hard training, Yang Wenbin no longer needs to rely on swimming rings, and with his own strength, it is not a problem to swim three or four thousand meters in the water.

After the breaststroke training, the regimental headquarters accepted the breaststroke training of each company.

Of the 50 officers and men of the 3rd Howitzer Company where Yang Wenbin was squatting, all but one who did not take part in the assessment due to illness passed 100 percent of the acceptance of breaststroke skills.

As a result, the company's training content was changed and it entered the stage of armed swimming training.

Armed swimming training, first of all, tidy up the dress, pull the trouser legs to the thighs, layer by layer, layer by layer, tighten the sleeves, tie the armed belt to pin the shoes on the back, and then tighten the magazine belt.

Before swimming across the river, it is necessary to strictly arrange clothing and equipment, especially important combat equipment, and ensure that clothes and pants are not in the water, and the equipment is not loose.

After getting dressed, train in shallow water first, and then train in deep water when you are familiar with it.

Armed swimming training is also a gradual process.

The company first organized lightly armed swimming training.

Swimming training with light equipment is training without carrying combat equipment, and the personnel experience in the water that the training in dress is different from the training in swimsuits.

As a result of wearing a military uniform, the resistance increased after the clothes were soaked, and the requirements for physical strength and endurance were greater.

The company adopted the method of segmented training.

First 500 meters, then 1,000 meters, then 1,500 meters, 2,000 meters, 2,500 meters, 3,000 meters......

After gradually increasing the size, the officers and men gradually adapted to the dress of swimming, and were able to persevere and reach the required distance.

Next, it's time for half-suit training.

Semi-outfit means carrying all equipment except firearms, including outer belts, bulletproof masks, bullet belts, water bottles, etc.

This is the beginning of weight training and a gradual adaptation process.

The half-pack training has achieved results, and then the full-pack phase is on.

This is the hardest training, compared to will, bravery, endurance.

Yang Wenbin trains hard every day, and the effect is obvious.

After two weeks, his swimming level gradually caught up with and surpassed the original fighters with a better foundation, and soon reached the level of a coach.

In order to ensure the safety of swimming training, the team set up a cordon on the beach, about one person high, and planted a red flag every 10 meters.

As long as it does not exceed the range of the red flag, it is basically safe.

For each training, the regiment sent patrol boats to follow the training team to cruise on the beach to prevent drowning accidents, and at the same time, if there is drowning, they can be rescued in time.

In the armed swimming training, the company adopted a formation of one column and two columns.

The first column is the formation adopted at the beginning of the armed swimming training.

The regiment demarcated training areas for each battalion, and each battalion designated training areas for each company.

Each group is trained in a small area with square, rectangular and circular routes in a specified area, which is convenient for observing the safety protection of the organization.

In the middle of the training, a two-way column is generally used.

The use of two-way columns is to be matched by fighters with good training results and relatively weak training results, swimming all the way, and protecting them with their bare hands all the way, and the use of two-way columns is convenient for those who have a situation and their protection, and special treatment will not affect the training of large troops.

The three-way column is used in the final stage of maritime adaptation training, and after reaching a certain level of training, the formation sequence of the three-way column can be adopted, and the three people in the same column are a safety group, and after one person has a dangerous situation, the other two are responsible for handling it.

On this day, the battalion inspected and accepted the armed swimming training.

The whole company was organized into a three-way column and trained in a 3,000-meter armed swim crossing.

More than 50 people, lined up in a three-way column, along the safety line, after hearing the whistle of departure, everyone fought bravely and jumped out.

Yang Wenbin swam in the penultimate first row.

He was not far behind, fighting hard to eat milk, pedaling the water hard, and trying not to be left behind by other comrades.

However, when he swam more than 2,000 meters, he suddenly found that the warrior on his left was gone, and just now, he was still swimming hard by his side.

Where, is it, drowning?

Yang Wenbin was shocked.
