Chapter 72: Don't be Zhuge Liang
The most important task in Li Guang's work is army building. After Su Qing took away sixty-eight people, there were only less than two hundred veterans on Stone Statue Island plus Robinson Island. The power has been weakened to an extremely dangerous point.
And that's not all, with the next voyage of the freighter, Li Guang will also provide Xu Zhan with thirty-six veterans.
As a result, the total number of veterans on the two islands is less than one hundred and sixty. It's simply not enough.
However, this time, Qin Zhan brought back six veterans who had been on the battlefield from Xu Zhan, which solved the problem of the shortage of lower-level officers in the Marine Corps.
By waiting for the next return trip of the freighter, then at least six veterans with combat experience can be brought back for Li Guang, so that many difficulties in the management of the troops can be alleviated.
Now the total number of recruits is more than a thousand. Li Guang divided these units into 160 small squads, led by 160 veterans, to begin basic training.
And six veterans who had participated in the battle were appointed by Li Guang as the commander of the large platoon, each in charge of more than 20 squads.
The training plan was adjusted by Li Guang on the basis of the training syllabus of the German mechanic. Li Guang is not familiar with the army so far, but he knows that military discipline is more important than combat skills in a sense.
During the three-month recruit training, the recruits train twelve hours a day. There is a concept running through all the brutal training - discipline.
From getting up in the morning to running, to going to bed at night, a total of 15 hours. Almost every minute there is a clear training task.
And during training, almost every movement also has clear requirements. Even eating, walking, all have rules.
Among the 1,000 men were more than 100 recruits from the armored company and 100 recruits who were ready to expand into the navy.
Li Guang's guiding ideology for military training is very clear: Whether you are a technical soldier or an ordinary soldier, you must go through such a three-month training to engrave discipline in everyone's heart. There were no conditions before, but now that such conditions are in place, Li Guang feels that it is very necessary to do so. Since then, the three-month basic training has become an indispensable part of the Naval Resistance Force.
If you look at the content of each day's training, you can see the harshness, and even the veterans of the Naval Resistance Army feel terrible when they mention the training of new recruits.
Wake up in the morning and tidy up in five minutes. This was followed by a ten-kilometer off-road.
Twenty minutes of breakfast, followed by an hour of cohort training.
Ten minutes of rest, followed by an hour of rifle aiming in three positions.
Ten minutes of rest, followed by two hours of push-ups, pull-ups, punching sandbags, throwing grenades, fighting bayonets. (Mixed training.) )
Lunch is half an hour, followed by a half-hour of mountaineering training.
After a ten-minute break, dig bunkers and dig fortifications for an hour.
This was followed by another hour of queue training, and an hour of rifle three-stance aiming. and two hours of mixed training. After dinner was an hour of study, there were clerical lectures, and each person had to learn three hundred Chinese characters by the end of the three-month recruit training.
During the training, the six platoon commanders who had been on the battlefield were noticeably more severe. After experiencing the brutal fight of blood and fire, they have a deeper understanding of the important surname of training.
Although the first soldiers of the Naval Resistance Army were not regular soldiers, they also experienced military training. The recruits were almost all peasant children who had never had military training before. Ninety-five percent of this brutal 12-hour training was passed. And some of these people are just sixteen years old.
The newly built air force is now also trained for 12 hours, and although the subjects are different, the cruelty is no worse than that of the army.
For all soldiers, the idea of sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime began to take root.
Li Guang deeply admired the peasant youth of this era. If it is put into the future generations, I am afraid that few young people will be able to endure such cruel training. And what is amazing is that with such brutal training, the fighters' weight is rapidly rising, and their physique is growing at an almost visible rate. Through chatting with the recruits, Li Guang learned about some of the cruel conditions in the country, where the war was still raging, hundreds of people were displaced, and people died of hunger everywhere. After receiving nutrients, these hungry warriors are rapidly absorbing energy, recovering quickly, and quickly becoming stronger.
During this time, Li Guang, a military commander without military rank, had an extremely hard time, even harder than a soldier. Li Guang is sighing every day now, I don't want to be Zhuge Liang, I don't want to be tired to death.
But there is no way, although several scientific research projects are temporarily supported by talents, and the progress is rapid. However, there were several major shortcomings in the army, which made Li Guang's work burden extremely heavy. Li Guang worked and studied for more than twelve hours a day, which was a hell of a grind.
The first major defect of the Naval Resistance Army is that there are no commanders or staff officers from military academies. Veterans who have been on the battlefield can be of great help to Li Guang in terms of training. However, these people have a low level of education, a narrow range of knowledge, and although their battlefield experience is useful, they are not really able to organize large-scale battles.
In World War II, wars were definitely not won by bravery alone. Knowledge of all aspects is required. For example, Li Guang has always wanted to come up with a plan for the fortifications of the Stone Statue Island. But it is clear that the current veteran may be able to build both offensive and defensive fortifications in a certain location, but it is simply impossible to make an overall defense plan for an island. It is necessary not only to attack the army, but also to guard against the attack of the air force, and even more importantly, to confront the navy. This kind of defense plan is no longer something that can be done by relying on battlefield experience, but must have a complete and systematic military knowledge. And these veterans that Li Guang relied on the most had not even seen the power of large-caliber naval guns, and they did not even understand the power of the 152mm cannon possessed by the Naval Resistance Army. In order to let the soldiers know about this, Li Guang also took out a few precious shells and demonstrated them on the spot, which shocked these recruits who had never seen modern weapons.
The experience gained from the battlefield can help refine the defense plan, but in any case, it is difficult to be comprehensive and effective because of the knowledge.
Chinese always see war as a game of stratagem, while Westerners see war as a sophisticated machine. When it comes to hard-nosed island defense operations, there is no doubt that the Western concept of war is effective. In this regard, there is no doubt that the Americans and Germans do the best. However, Li Guang cannot find such a master now, and you must know that such a master must at least be a commander or chief of staff at the division level.
An officer of this level, Li Guang can't dig it up. As a last resort, Li Guang is now gnawing on a US military textbook. There is a textbook on German affairs next to it, but Li Guang can't read German. Li Guang lamented while gnawing on books, don't all people who travel have benefits? God doesn't deserve to be a military expert.
There is no way to find a way, Li Guang found two architects among the personnel brought by Professor Yuan Ye, and now they have been paid to survey the topography of the island, which is also a little helpful. Li Guang planned that after the two construction engineers had finished surveying the terrain, they would also have to gnaw on military textbooks and drive ducks to design military fortifications.
The second defect of the Naval Resistance Army, the soldiers trained by Su Qing, have a decent grasp of mortars and infantry artillery, and they are now considered beginners in the navy for anti-aircraft artillery. But several heavy artillery, both in terms of tactics and tactics, are in the kindergarten stage. Now Li Guang can only lament again, oh my God, I still have to become an artillery instructor. Keep nibbling on the books.
Now that Li Guang has sent a message to Xu Zhan, be sure to help him find a heavy artillery instructor, even if he is injured on the battlefield and cannot participate in the battle. If Li Guang knew that the entire Chinese army had less than a hundred heavy guns, of which the more advanced German-made 150 guns were only forty-eight (some had already been lost. He knew how difficult it was to find an officer who was proficient in heavy artillery.
Thirdly, the training of armored troops is still in its infancy, and it is necessary to explore the bulldozer and familiarize itself with mechanical and electrical maintenance. But there were no instructors. What is even more hateful is that Li Guang could not find a textbook on armored warfare. Even if there were, it was at the level of the First World War, and it was too far behind. In the middle and late stages of World War II, the theory of armored operations was basically mature, but in this era, whether it was German or American armored operations, it was still in the theoretical stage, and there were no more complete sets of tactics. Li Guang's lament this time was even more powerless, my God, do I still have to become an armored combat expert? And I had to learn and create my own, and I didn't even have to gnaw on books.
searched all the people on the island, and no one could help him in these aspects. Li Guang has been muttering recently: "I don't want to be Zhuge Liang, I don't want to be tired to death." ”
People are light-hearted without pressure, and now under pressure, Li Guang's military knowledge has grown extremely fast. But if the talk on paper is useful, there will be no Zhao Kuo. What's more, Li Guang can't even do it on paper now.
Under pressure, Li Guang really learned a lot of war knowledge and improved it greatly, but it was all on paper.
