Chapter 23: Military Training (2)
Koval watched Adam's trajectory closely, first motionless to lower his opponent's vigilance, then lunged forward with a lunge and a jab that hit him quickly and accurately, knocking him to the ground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Adam clearly did not anticipate Coval's jab, although the jab was not used to the maximum in order to improve the suddenness, but it hit the weak spot of his jaw, and many boxers in later generations often hit their opponents in the jaw to stun their opponents.
Adam took two steps back, shook his head, and lifted his chin.
Koval rushed forward in one go, another right hook, and Adam shouted, without dodging or dodging, and threw his head forward, trying to hug Kvar.
Koval didn't want to fight him hand-to-hand, it would be exhausting, ugly, and ruin his new uniform. Koval dodged sideways and quickly stretched out his foot to stumble at Adam's feet, and Adam rushed forward, unsteady on his feet, and immediately threw himself forward and fell to the ground. He propped his hands on the ground, and just as he was about to roll forward, Koval had already collapsed on his back, crushing him to the ground, just like Wu Song beating a tiger, overpowering Adam's entire body and burying it tightly in the dirt. Adam couldn't stretch his hands apart, there was no room for force, and he struggled a few times but couldn't lift Koval off his body, so he had to reluctantly admit defeat.
The people around watched these two lose so completely, and several people used their eyes to encourage Alex, the commander of the company, to come up and challenge Kvar.
Alex stood motionless, thinking: The day before yesterday, Lao Tzu was cleaned up, and whoever wants to go and fight today will go! I'm not that stupid.
Koval stood up in style, grabbed Adam, patted him on the shoulder, encouraged him, and let him return to the team.
"Is anyone still convinced?" Koval stood in front of the team and paced and shouted: "We are going to set foot on the battlefield, for the independence of Poland, for the sake of victory, we must learn not only to have a single man to shoot and fight, but also to cooperate with the army." I'm going to teach you how to fight on the battlefield, including shooting and fighting, willingly! Willing or not! ”
"Yes! Willing! Willing! The non-commissioned officers below replied in unison.
"There are officers and excellent soldiers among you, and the soldiers will be selected into the training group every week according to your training results, and the top forty-one in the battalion will enter the training group every week, and I will also give you a month to let me see what you have learned on the battlefield before. In a month's time, I will reassign the positions and ranks of junior officers according to your grades and other talents. Do you understand? ”
"Understood!" The bottom replied in unison.
First intimidated by Koval's force and tempted by Koval's promise, the members of the training team trained very hard. And the weekly survival of the fittest is like a whip that constantly spurs the soldiers. The members of the training team also taught the skills and tactics they had learned from Koval to the soldiers of the battalion, and one person taught seven people, so that the efficiency of the training was greatly improved.
Koval trained with his troops every day, ate with them, and quickly won the support of his soldiers. Of course, the high-intensity training also caused some injuries and illnesses among the soldiers, although they were only minor injuries and illnesses, and there was no major problem, but Koval still personally ran over to visit each soldier, telling them the great principle of "sweating more in peacetime, and bleeding less in wartime", and at the same time bought a little medicine and sent it over.
Looking at the eyes of the soldiers, Koval couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably guilty.
Recently, in addition to training soldiers on a daily basis, Koval has been constantly studying military books from the East and the West, and has bought many military books from the Warsaw Library and priests. Clausewitz's "On War" in the West, Mahan's "The Influence of Sea Power on History", Jomini's "Introduction to the Art of War", Suvorov's "The Science of Victory", etc. The military books in the East are the crystallization of the wisdom of the soldiers of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as "The Art of War" and "The Art of War" annotated by Cao Cao.
Recalling his actions, Koval can't help but think of a story:
Wu Qi was a famous military strategist during the Warring States Period, and when he was the commander of the Wei army, he loved his soldiers like a son, so he was deeply supported by the soldiers. There was even a time when a soldier had an abscess on his body, and the dignified commander actually sucked the pus and blood for the soldier with his mouth, and the whole army was moved. The soldier's mother also shed tears, but not tears of emotion, but tears of sadness. It turned out that Wu Qi had also sucked abscesses for the soldier's father, but during the war, the soldier's father fought bravely to kill the enemy and rushed to the front, and finally died on the battlefield. The mother worries that history is repeating itself again in her son.
One will be a success! Koval silently sighed in his heart: But because of Poland's geographical location and because of the nationalist atmosphere of the times, war cannot be escaped. Rather than die in vain at the hands of the enemy, it is better to die for the country. Thinking of this, Koval put aside doubts and vacillation, and practiced the team fiercely.
Time passed day by day, and Koval's troops were like a piece of pig iron being forged into a sword.
A month later, Koval finally figured out the various formations of the army, and finally put together all the weapons that the troops needed.
A company with three platoons, a machine gun platoon, two infantry platoons, plus the company headquarters and the division squad (translated as a platoon, but changed to a squad for easy understanding), a total of 178 people
The battalion headquarters had a direct machine-gun platoon with a total of 60 people. The battalion consisted of 594 men, 4 heavy machine guns, 500 Mauser 1898 rifles.
After a month of training, Koval got acquainted with the structure of the battalion. Beginning to restructure the troops, the size of the army was fixed and could not be changed, and Koval did not have the courage to move it.
The combat effectiveness of the army is not only related to training, but also to the basic tactics of the army. Both the Spanish phalanx and Gustavus's line tactics helped their armies to defeat their enemies. But these basic tactics are tightly integrated with the weapons of the army. The power of the Spanish phalanx could not be harnessed without spears and heavy muskets, and the power of linear tactics could not be harnessed without advanced artillery.
Koval thought about it, and now with this weapon, he knew that tactics such as infantry and artillery coordination, blitzkrieg, and great depth could not be implemented at all.
On second thought, only the tactics of the German infantry squad during World War II were more suitable for the army under his command now. In World War II, an infantry squad of the German army fought around an MG-42 general-purpose machine gun, and now the army under his command has too few machine guns, and only one company can fight around a Maxim MG-08 heavy machine gun.
