Chapter 151: The Great Exercise (3)

In the camp, often before the wake-up call sounds, sonorous footsteps and singing with a special rhythm echo in the barracks:

I am a killing machine armed to the teeth, ready to shed blood and die when the signal to assemble is given. Believe that I am at my best, smile at me when you are near me, for I will win, I am the messenger of death...

Send the enemy to hell, and there will be rivers of blood at my feet, tempered in the flames of war, side by side with my comrades, life and death, I will be the first to go to the battlefield, and the last to leave. Let me die of old age than let me die in battle, I am the evil star in the eyes of the enemy, with weapons in hand, merciless killing, the battlefield is the best place for me to stay!

Walking over the bloody ground of the enemy, if death does not give fear to the enemy, the enemy will be frightened by the pace of my march. As long as I have a breath left, I will fight to the end, and the enemy will never be an opponent, until the river dries up, until my life stops...

Although everyone is unbearable, they all dare to be angry and dare not speak, because these people are all 'crazy people', and the leading madman is the prince. In this season when the water turns into ice, they all wear their upper bodies, carry more than 40 pounds of sandbags on the playground or carry a thick log in pairs to run in the playground, and then they fall forward, backward, and sideways on the frozen hard ground like an iron plate, hitting the sandbags. After the last round, they were divided into several groups and beaten with wrist-thick sticks in turn, and after tossing themselves into an inhuman shape, they chiseled the frozen ice in the canal and took a cold bath to end the morning exercise. Some people think they are tough and want to follow their example, but they often give up after less than two days.

'The stones of other mountains can attack jade'. In order to do a good job in the training of the guards, Zhao Ta not only personally coached, but also invited the 'iron hand' of the intelligence department, Lu Xiaoyao, the former boss of the night gate, the shooter of the machine gun team, the riders in the Fan army, etc., and everyone who had a skill that could be used for his own use was hired by him as a coach. His purpose is very clear, that is, to build a completely new unit, special forces detachment tactics, individual tactics, communications command, fighting and capturing techniques, shooting techniques, armed swimming, and so on. There are also night classes such as night shooting, capturing prisoners, and marching according to maps. These courses can enable the trainees to meet the basic requirements of being able to fight and hide, coordinate operations, and deal with unexpected situations.

Fighting and capture are important subjects in the training of the players. Many people practice dagger fighting with substitutes, but here it's done with real guys, especially when the group is sparring, and the bright tip of the knife is circling around in front of you, which is really thrilling. During the practice of capturing prisoners at night, the team members fought in groups, and since no one wanted to lose to the other, the members of the special combat team became frequent visitors to the health team, and some members of the team were often sent in with injuries. Physical training is a regular supplementary subject, and the team members have to do more than 20 miles of long-distance running training several times a week, rain or shine.

If you want to ask if you are tired or not, see what everyone says?

"I already like life here, in the past, because I was 'active' by nature, I was often criticized, but here I am often praised for this, and I am praised by the prince in front of everyone!" Zhang Kui said proudly, he rubbed his shoulders, but suddenly found that there was no place on his body that didn't hurt, "Hmph, the gang of grandsons' military sticks and leather whips of the law enforcement team, Lao Tzu has been immune since then!" ”

"This is what a soldier should do, the prince said well, 'sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime', I must persevere and be a soldier king!" Ba Zhouwu tightened the bloody gauze on his arm, gritted his teeth and said.

"Hmph, Erwa's 'stupid', I couldn't find the north when I beat him in the past, but now he is Wu Yilang, I don't believe that he is not as good as him, sooner or later I will surpass him!" Cao Bin, the second child who was newly added to the guards from Xiangyi, kicked a sandbag more than one person high and said hatefully. …,

"Alas, this is suffering twice and suffering twice, but it's over!" Shang Hu glanced at the 'rookies' under his command and said with a sigh.

"Did the prince find out something, let me call myself sick every day and 'escape' morning exercises, but he didn't know what to say?" Zhao Xin looked at the prince who was bare and poured ice water on his body, and said secretly with resentment.

．．．．．．

The sun had just risen, Xu Biao was covered with frost and dust, he led a battalion of dragons into a column and marched quickly in the field, and overnight they did not dismount their horses, and marched one hundred and fifty miles without unloading their saddles, and everyone along the way ate, drank, and even peed on horses.

"Change horses!" Xu Biao gave an order, and the order was quickly conveyed to everyone, but the horse team did not stop, and they jumped from the deputy horse to the main horse.

"The enemy army has been spotted two miles ahead, and the whole battalion is ready to charge!" An open field appeared in front of him, Xu Biao reported the enemy situation, gave an order, the trumpeters blew the military horns, and each immediately formed a five-way column, handed over the deputy horses to the special person to collect, and changed the formation with the sound of the trumpet, each team opened the distance and lined up in a diamond-shaped formation and slowly turned into a trot, gradually accelerated, and raised a gun salvo at a distance of 400 paces from the 'enemy'. After two rounds of firing, under the command of the trumpet, the formation changed to a tight formation, and the capital became four tight horizontal columns, put the guns into the saddlebags, and drew their sabers in unison, and the horses also changed from trotting to running, and charged the enemy like a wall...

Under the high city wall, the leopard general flag is unfurled, the flag is swinged, the door flag flashes more than a dozen mortar cannons out of the city three hundred meters under the city and quickly erected, in the continuous sound of the password, quickly loaded, the flag is shaken, the cannon roars, from the cannon mouth is not a cannonball, but a dozen clay pots, accurately fall on the city wall and shatter, the liquid contained in it splashes everywhere, sprinkled all over the city, after another round of artillery fire, the liquid is ignited by the explosion of the fire, the entire city wall is ignited by a skyrocketing fire, At this moment, five arrow towers, almost as high as the city wall, were pushed out, and the machine guns on them clattered and fired at the remnants of the enemy on the wall.

Under the cover of heavy machine-gun fire, more than a dozen soldiers with explosive bags rushed out of the engineer battalion, they jumped off the moat, quickly dug a shallow hole in the side of the trench and stuffed the explosive bag into it and lit it, and after a few muffled sounds, the earth on the side of the trench collapsed. The same method was then used to blow up the trench on the other side, and the trench was immediately filled in, creating several roads.

The blasting was successful, three building cars crossed the moat under the impetus of the soldiers, marched to the city, the baffle was put down and put on the city, the two rounds of guns eliminated the 'enemy' in front of them, the soldiers hidden in it continued to rush to the city, quickly spread to the two wings, successfully occupied the city wall, after cleaning up the remnants of the enemy, developed to the city, captured the city gate, and the cavalry waiting outside immediately launched a charge to occupy the whole city...

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a long camel caravan trudged through the long yellow sand. Camels are well-known among animals, walking without hurry, but their speed deficit is compensated for by their amazing endurance, this veritable pack animal can carry a thousand pounds of 50 or 60 kilometers a day, and it is really the best in weight-bearing races.

Wang Heng led the camel to a high sand dune, shook off the sand on his turban, licked his chapped lips, swallowed the saliva rich in sand and dust with difficulty, he took off his goggles, took the telescope handed over by the guards and looked into the distance, but there was only an endless yellow sand dune in his eyes. The Tiger General's Desert Battalion has been marching in the desert for three days, but they only carry five days' worth of food and only enough water for three days, and they must find the legendary abandoned ancient city before dark today to replenish their water, otherwise the water will run out tomorrow.

"Oh Ha, are we going in the right direction?" Wang Heng put down the binoculars and turned his head to ask the guide. …,

"Commander, that ruined city is just to the west, within five miles according to the distance, but I only walked this road three years ago, and the city may have been annihilated by the wind and sand!" When there is a strong wind in the desert, the sand dunes will move, and the surrounding terrain will change, and even those who often walk this road will often get lost, Lao Ha said as he looked around.

"The scouts have searched the area and found no ruins, we may really be lost!" Wang Heng said helplessly, "There is only one way, let go of the camels tomorrow and let them go to find water!" "The night was low, it was getting dark, and it was more dangerous to grope for the march in the dark, so Wang Heng had to order to find a sheltered place to camp on the spot, and find a way tomorrow.

At night there was a strong wind blowing in the desert, and the sand was beating the faces like bullets, and the cold air penetrated the thick leather coats, making people feel cold to the bone, and the soldiers ordered the camels to lie down and lie between the two humps. The high hump and thick camel hair keep out the wind and warmth, shielding them from the unbearable wind chill...

In an open field in the mountains, a group of soldiers in white snow combat uniforms sat on the ground and gasped for breath, most of them from the Hengshan Qiang tribe, but the brutal training still made their noses and faces swollen and exhausted. Horses have been transformed into means of transport in the mountains, and no one can gallop on the steep slopes.

"Stand up, you are not playing in the mountains and rivers, seize the mountains in front of you, you are shouldering tasks and missions, and you must continue to move forward unyieldingly!" Liu Biao, the commander of the mountain battalion, roared loudly, urging the soldiers to continue to move forward.

After the end of the new training, they were driven into the mountains by the prince, in addition to the basic alpine adaptation training, to march on the steep slope that is difficult for livestock to pass through, the soldiers also have to learn the skills of active attack in battle, especially when the wind and snow are full, often with the least casualties to achieve the greatest victory. Mountain warfare is one of the most dangerous forms of warfare, as they have to fight against enemy forces while also confronting extreme weather and dangerous terrain, such as landslides, severe cold, strong winds, and even lightning. However, in battle, capturing the high ground will provide a great advantage for attack or defense, but to attack a prepared defensive force, the attacking side must invest much more troops than in flat combat, and professional mountain troops can play a role in ten hundreds.
