Chapter 27: Training the Guards
(0027)
Brigadier Zhang gathered all the guards together and said loudly: "Why such a confrontation? Because, in a real battle, everyone may only have one chance! There are no assumptions, no ifs, no ifs, no thoughts on the battlefield! To be dead is to be dead, and there will never be a resurrection! ”
"I hope each of you will cherish your surname! Don't give up easily! One of our surnames can be exchanged for ten enemies, or even a hundred! Because, we have received the most rigorous training, we have endured the most difficult hardships, and we have honed the most tenacious fighting spirit! The price we pay is tenfold, a hundred times that of others! We have good reasons to win more! ”
"One for the other! One for five! It's all a loss-making business! We don't do it! ”
"If we give the enemy a chance because of our own negligence, it will be the greatest loss!"
"The process of confrontation is the process of making mistakes on both sides! The more mistakes you make, the more holes the enemy will catch and the greater the losses. Conversely, the fewer mistakes you make, the harder it will be for the enemy to catch your loophole, and the less you will lose! ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhun paused for a long time, leaving each team member enough time to reminisce about this passage. His gaze swept over each warrior's face, observing their level of comprehension. It's a bit disappointing that most of the fighters don't understand the trick, maybe it's too profound.
After a long time, Zhang Zhun continued:
"Now, I want to emphasize the spirit of the community!"
"Each of us, not alone, fights alone!"
"Remember, you're on the same team! It's a team fighting! ”
"On the battlefield, the only thing you can trust, the only thing you can rely on, is your companions! A companion who gets along day and night! ”
"Everyone is in the team, the tasks they undertake, and the roles they play are different!"
"To maximize the combat effectiveness of the team, you must have a suitable queue!"
"The battle queue, also known as the formation, is an important means of winning a decisive victory on the battlefield. In ancient times, there were different formations such as the Bagua Array, the Fish Scale Array, the Goose Walking Array, the Sharp Arrow Array, the Long Snake Array, the Glaive Array, the Sancai Array, and the Five Elements Array. In modern times, there are also Mandarin Duck Formations and Moon Formations invented by General Qi Jiguang, which are all very good combat formations. If the formation is properly applied, it will greatly enhance our own combat effectiveness. ”
"What kind of battlefield, what kind of combat queue needs to be arranged?"
"Based on the geographical environment of our Fushan Institute, as well as the characteristics of the enemy we are about to face, I think that the Three Talents Formation and the Five Elements Formation are the most suitable for us."
"Now, everyone practice with me!"
"Start with the Sancai Formation!"
At the beginning, the soldiers of the escort team were obviously not very accustomed to the formation, and they had not been in contact with training for too long. The fighting army of the Ming Dynasty basically has no military figures. Even if there are military households, they also have an additional identity, that is, "military soldiers", that is, recruits selected from military households. What they receive is the salary of the "soldiers", and they have nothing to do with the "army" anymore.
Each member of the escort team, when training individually, was very active, and the effect grew quickly. However, training formations, even the simplest queues, takes a lot of time, and a few players can't even tell the difference between left and right. There was no way, Zhang Zhun had to tie strips of cloth of different colors on their two legs, so that they could use this as a reference, and finally barely passed the test.
In order to motivate everyone to be motivated, Zhang Zhun thought of many ways.
Dividing combat skills into levels one to nine is one of them.
Each fighter of the escort team, when he first entered the team, has a zero skill level, that is, nothing, and is called a recruit. With the continuous proficiency of skills, it is gradually promoted to first, second, and third class...... All the way up to the ninth. If you have several levels of skills, you are called a soldier.
The assessment of combat skills is improved in mutual confrontation. Zhang Zhun insisted on the binary system, that is, two recruits competed to produce a first-class soldier; A contest between two first-class soldiers can produce a second-class soldier; The contest between two privates can produce a third-class soldier; Two third-class soldiers compete to produce a fourth-class soldier...... And so on.
The convoy currently has 80 people, and can produce 20 first-class privates, 10 second-class privates, 5 third-class privates, and 5 fourth-class privates. Because of the lack of numbers, the fifth class was not produced. Challenges are organized every quarter. People who think that their level is high enough can challenge upwards.
For example, if a private challenges a private and wins, he will become a private directly, and his opponent will be reduced to a private. Obviously, everyone is only willing to move up, and no one will want to be demoted. The best way to keep yourself from being caught up in is to train hard and be in the best shape.
However, the challenge can only be leveled and cannot be skipped. This is also to ensure that high-level warriors are not unnecessarily disturbed. For example, a fifth-class soldier, who is qualified to challenge him, can only be a fourth-class soldier. At a high level, there are not many of both, and challenges are not easy to occur. But once it happens, it's certainly extremely attractive.
After the combat skill level was proposed, it immediately aroused great interest among the team members, and everyone enthusiastically signed up to participate in the challenge. As a result, a series of challenges began. In the era of cold weapons, the cohesion of grassroots officers is basically reflected in their own combat skills. If your own combat skills are not up to par, your subordinates may not be convinced. Therefore, the performance of each gang leader and Wu Commander is also quite positive.
In the process of the game, the rule given by Zhang Zhun is that there are no rules.
As long as you can defeat the other party, no matter what means you use.
Even if you prick your eyes or pinch your yin, as long as you can defeat the other party, any means are allowed. The battlefield is meant to do everything, as long as you defeat the enemy, you will be considered victorious, no matter whether your methods are above board or despicable.
After the competition, Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong, Yang Qianqiang, Yin Fengyi, Zhang Yatie and other five people became the highest-ranking fourth-class soldiers, known as the first batch of senior soldiers of the escort team. Skill levels and officer ranks are not the same and can coexist.
The emblems of the soldiers were embroidered with silk thread on the left breast of their garments. The emblems of the first, second, and third class are represented by blue silk threads, which are one, two, and three blue silk threads. Fourth, fifth, and sixth class soldiers are represented by yellow, which are one, two, and three yellow silk threads. The seventh-class soldiers are represented by red, which are one, two, and three red silk threads.
Such a competition was obviously very effective, and after three days, each fighter in the escort team found a suitable way to fight. More importantly, in the minds of every soldier, the idea of striving for progress has been firmly established.
Those high-level fighters, such as Hao Linyong and others, also dare not take it lightly, because others can also challenge you. If you are defeated, the rank is lowered, even if it is an officer. As a gang leader, what a humiliating thing it would be for you to be defeated by a small soldier challenge!
"Zhang Yatie!"
"Here!"
"Good job, boy!"
“……”
In the challenge, the most dazzling thing is the new warrior Zhang Yatie.
He only joined the Escort in early February, and in less than a month, he had mastered the art of assassination with precision. In the mutual challenge of the third-class soldiers, he defeated Zou Mingjia, who was unanimously favored by everyone, and broke into the ranks of the fourth-class soldiers. For such a dark horse, Zhang Zhun did not hesitate to praise himself.
Some people are born with a certain talent in certain skills, and this Zhang Yatie is like this. If he is allowed to concentrate on piercing fish, he will have hundreds of fish a day, which is basically not a problem. Of course, it would be a pity that such a warrior was used to tie fish. However, this also shows that with the addition of Zhang Yatie, the soldiers of the escort team are tired of eating fish.
Since he is fully responsible for the safety of Yangjiatun, Zhang Zhun needs to consider a lot of problems. Training, weapons, equipment, intelligence, personnel, organization, command, ...... Either way, it's a blank slate. Now the most effective thing is assassination training, because there are five fourth-class soldiers such as Hao Linyong and Yang Qianqiang supporting it, and Zhang Zhun only needs to be responsible for the assessment.
As for other issues, Zhang Zhun has to worry about it himself.
The weapons of the convoy are the primary problem.
By collecting the entire Yangjiatun, the escort team obtained a lot of weapons, such as waist knives, spears, steel knives and other weapons, there are quite a few of them, there are hundreds, and they are now hidden in the rock crevices behind, and they can be used at any time.
However, the main training subject of the Escort at present is assassination. Zhang Zhun meant that he had to learn the assassination well, and only after he had learned it was to learn other subjects. Even, the assassination has really been practiced to a high-level level, and other fighting skills do not need to be practiced. Nothing is easier to kill than a thorn, and nothing is easier to break through an opponent's defenses.
Under such a target appeal, these captured weapons are not of much use, at most they are equipped with Hao Linyong and others as auxiliary weapons. Another function of these weapons is to kill fish and make sashimi. When cutting the fillet, the blade is still quite sharp.
It's a pity that there are not enough raw materials, otherwise, Zhang Zhun will equip each escort with a real three-edged thorn to experience the power of a real big killing weapon. The three-edged thorns made of camellia wood, after all, cannot be compared with steel, and they will be exposed when they encounter strong opponents.
In addition, Wang Shixin's family members are all equipped with fire guns, and even thunderbolts and flying birds. The range of these two firearms is more than 50 meters, and the lethality is stronger than that of bows and arrows. Therefore, it is not enough for the convoy to be equipped with triangular thorns, but also with long-range high-power firearms.
Zhang Zhunyao's firearms were not ordinary arquebuses, nor were they three-eyed guns, which were known as artifacts, nor were they large-caliber smoothbore guns used in large quantities by Napoleon's army, but explosive packs, mines, cannons, etc. Simple production and easy to make are the first conditions.
