Chapter 13 Training (2)
The first is the issue of uniform clothing...... The guerrillas' outfits can be said to be varied, and they wear everything. Some are white, some are black, some are round, some are turbans, and some are bandanas around their heads......
This is not to say that I am too traditional, but the troops do not have that kind of spirit when they are trained like this, and they do not have that feeling of uniformity between comrades-in-arms.
But it doesn't seem that hard to solve...... It is definitely not possible to use our military uniforms, not to mention that we did not bring extra military uniforms, we want to make the Soviets not know about the existence of our team, how can they be allowed to wear the military uniforms of the Chinese army to the battlefield, isn't that to give evidence to the Soviets!
The solution is Major Lana...... Because this issue was raised as early as when the U.S. military was training guerrillas, Smith asked Pakistan to provide them with a batch of uniform clothing for training, but the Pakistani side has not paid much attention to Smith, so the clothing has never been ready.
In fact, the costumes have been collected...... It's just that kind of ordinary camouflage uniform...... Pakistan also did not want the Soviets to misunderstand that they had sent troops to Afghanistan, so the clothing prepared was a very common camouflage uniform, but because there were not many of them, Rana never distributed them.
Now I'm asking for ...... Rana didn't say a word, and immediately distributed all the camouflage uniforms on hand to us, and there were still 100 sets left to be made overnight.
Smith couldn't help but be furious, and he angrily ran to Major Lana and asked, "What do you mean?" Why should the clothing we asked for earlier be given priority to the bases of the Chinese? ”
"Colonel Smith!" Lana replied: "The reason is simple. Just because they are Chinese! ”
"You ......" made Smith angry. But in Pakistan, Major Nalana could do nothing.
I didn't even know what to think when I knew that...... Even in modern times, even in China, there are many "cents" that are called "cents...... That is to say, "every time you are in China, you must be opposed." Every beauty must be praised". But at least here...... In Pakistan, they are unconditionally supportive of China.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothing, and when the clothing is unified, it will immediately be a little different, and the guerrillas will naturally feel more energetic.
The next thing that started was kicking, and then a new problem arose...... Hassan agreed, but that didn't mean his men agreed.
They may have started to practice according to our teachings because of Hassan's orders or for the sake of our Chinese friends, but after only practicing for one or two days, some people were not happy, and the most violent of them was a man named Wadud......
He yelled at Hassan: "Hassan...... We came to train to fight the Soviets. Instead of standing in line to see who walks, is it useful to walk in line? Can defeat the Soviet army? Can you take back our tribe? Or in such a line towards their machine guns! ”
"He's my uncle!" Hassan whispered to me.
So I understood...... What binds Hassan's forces together may be family, friendship, or simply the recapture of his own tribe.
"You have to punish him!" I say.
"I can't!" Hassan replied in embarrassment: "He is my elder!" ”
"Here he is not your elder!" I said, "He's your soldier...... Your subordinates must not question your orders, they must obey your orders, otherwise how can you control these soldiers under your command? ”
Hassan didn't speak, just looked at me blankly.
"That's what training is for!" I went on to say, "On the battlefield...... Any soldier who doesn't obey your orders can kill the entire army, and if you don't want you to die on the battlefield, choose to punish your uncle! ”
Hassan nodded silently, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Wadud...... A hundred push-ups! ”
Of course, this form of punishment is what I told Hassan. It can not only achieve the purpose of punishment but also temper physical fitness, why not!
"What?" Vadud shouted: "Hassan! Don't listen to that Chinese. What will they be? That's how the queue is? We are warriors, we fought with the Soviets on the battlefield, they didn't ...... They might not be as good as us! Why should we listen to their ......?"
I couldn't help but smile when Sahayd translated Wadod's words to me...... I haven't seen us fight, I have been practicing walking right for the past two days, who knows if these Chinese only have some fancy shelves.
And I'm afraid that this is not just the idea of Vadud alone, it should be said that these Afghans have a little bit of this mentality. It's just that they treat us as friends and come to help them, so they haven't said it.
"I'm sorry, Chinese friend!" "I don't mean to offend you," Wadud said to me, "but we also want to know if we're wasting our time!" ”
"So be it!" I asked Vadod, "What are you good at?" ”
"Shoot!" Wadud raised the AK47 in his hand: "I am a famous sharpshooter in our tribe!" ”
"Good!" I nodded and said, "You can pick any person in my army and compare your marksmanship...... Or more than anything else! As long as you win, I will admit that the decision to punish you was wrong! ”
"Pick anyone?" Vadud wondered if he had misheard: "You mean to pick whomever I want?" ”
"That's right!"
Looking at the confidence and calmness on my face, Vadud hesitated, but he still didn't believe that any of us could win him, so he pointed at one person suspiciously......
The soldiers laughed as soon as they coaxed, and when I saw it, it turned out that he had chosen Liang Lianbing......
"it!" Liang Lianbing stood up and said angrily: "I don't look like I can shoot a gun or what?" No one chooses me! ”
The soldiers were once again amused by the words of the Liang Lian soldiers.
"I advise you to re-elect!" I said to Vadud: "Because he is also our sharpshooter!" ”
"I know!" Vadud replied: "I know the gun he is carrying, it is a Soviet sniper's gun, I don't want to take advantage of you!" ”
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and secretly said that this Wadud is still angry...... But when I think about it, it seems a little wrong, snipers are used to playing SVD, but Vadud is holding an AK47 in his hand, we can't use SVD to compare marksmanship with AK47!
In this respect, this Vadud is still a little thoughtful......
But this time he miscalculated...... The snipers of our troops, they all cooperate with each other in pairs, that is, one person holds a sniper rifle and the other holds an assault rifle, and this role can also be interchanged...... This is because if the sniper is injured or the observer is injured, he must be able to use the opponent's weapon, so this assault rifle is also practiced.
Needless to say, Wadud was soon defeated and willingly accepted the punishment.
"All of you in the army have such marksmanship?" Hassan asked me, looking at the bullet holes in the bull's-eye.
"Almost!" I said: "Except for the artillery, of course!" ”
Hassan's eyes widened in surprise: "I can't believe it! You have that strength...... There was no need to worry about the invasion of the USSR at all! ”
I couldn't help but smile wryly...... If every Chinese force is like us, then maybe there really isn't a need to worry. (To be continued......)
