175. Training standards

The premise of being able to hold on is to hope that the enemy can see through the situation on the cloth. Although this sentence sounds funny, according to a series of analyses, it is found to be an indisputable fact.

There was a sentence that Zhao Li had already thought of, but he didn't say it. It is estimated that others may have guessed that it is the rainforest mining, which should be under the monitoring of the political axe army at all times, and once it is found that the rebels are about to go out to blow up, it is estimated that the political axe army will appear immediately.

In this case, Zhao Li had to use the surname of his comrade-in-arms to add a higher credibility to the bureau laid above, which could not help but make Zhao Li feel sad.

Perhaps, if all the garrisons on the edge planet, including themselves, can let the rebels enter the game and achieve the final victory, then the above will definitely sacrifice without hesitation. Maybe it's not just the edge planet, even if it is the price of paying a group army for this, it is estimated that the eyes above will not blink a moment to give a positive answer.

Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, this is something that Zhao Li has known for a long time, and he really realized it not long ago. However, now compared with the above, he is already speechless in distress when he sacrifices dozens of people, but all of the military regions above are used as bait, this kind of largesse really needs Zhao Li to learn. No matter what, Zhao Li's current realm is still a long way from the real Ci Bu in charge of the army.

"It's ridiculous indeed." Zhao Li also smiled a little bitterly. looked at everyone, especially Kang Hongyuan, staring at his eyes: "Lao Kang, you don't plan to join the enemy, right?" ”

"How so?" Kang Hongyuan snorted: "I want to live and die with Golden Five Star City!" After speaking, he smiled, as if he knew that Zhao Li would not believe his words, and added: "We only wiped out the living force of more than 2,000 rebels a day ago, even if I want to surrender, can they let me go?" ”

But Zhao Li was obviously not worried about Kang Hongyuan, and couldn't help but ask: "Then you won't deliberately leak these to the rebels, right?" This was one of his concerns, and although he was already fighting with the rebels, it was easy to leak a simple speculation. This can quickly solve the trouble here, maybe, after Kang Hongyuan weighs it, such a decision will be made.

Zhao Li didn't know why he would ask such words, it seemed that even if Kang Hongyuan did these things, it was for everyone's good, not only could he get rid of the fate of being used as a bait that could be sacrificed at any time, but he could also take advantage of the great victory not long ago, and he could get a lot of benefits, if he thought about it carefully, there seemed to be no reason to refuse.

However, secretly communicating with the rebels, this is what Zhao Li does not want. Cooperating with the enemy, dealing with his own army, and calculating the plans of the high command, this is the bottom line that Zhao Li, as a soldier, cannot tolerate. Even if you are one of those sacrificed outcasts, you don't want to.

"Don't worry, how come?" Kang Hongyuan smiled, as if after analyzing the facts in front of him, Kang Hongyuan's smile increased, not like the worry when he was unclear before: "If I do this, how will I face the people who support me in the future?" I won't come this far unless I have to."

Although this sounds a little awkward, Zhao Li understands that it should be true. Once a politician loses the support of public opinion, then his political life will come to an end. Cooperating with the rebels, what kind of crime is this, Kang Hongyuan can definitely distinguish it clearly and grasp it. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Kang Hongyuan will never take such an adventure. If he swore by heaven, Zhao Li would never believe it, but when it comes to his political career, his credibility is higher than ever.

"Yes!" Zhao Li was a little relieved. Looking at the others, they all looked like they were thinking, and it seemed that they didn't care about the problems that Zhao Li was worried about before. And Kang Hongyuan has been smiling, sweeping away the frowning and doubtful appearance just now.

"What's the plan?" Seeing Kang Hongyuan's performance, Zhao Li immediately asked playfully. Everyone can see that this old guy must have some good idea again. Although this old guy has always emphasized that he is a layman who does not understand in the military, there are some truths, and they have the same goal, and maybe this old guy will have some good ideas.

"Plan?" Kang Hongyuan shook his head: "I don't have it here." It's just that this is a good opportunity for you, and your previous achievements are nothing if you put them on it, if you can take this opportunity to earn some more military merits, it will be more beneficial to our plan. Think about it, selflessly cooperate with the sacrifice of the overall situation, and then turn the tide, even if you want to ignore it, you can't do it. ”

It turned out that Kang Hongyuan was fighting this idea, but if you think about it, Kang Hongyuan really can't help in military operations except for being able to mobilize the masses in the back. However, when I think of having the support of this old guy behind me, it seems that the waist pole is also much stiffer, which is a strange feeling.

"Alright, one by one!" Zhao Li also had no choice but to think of his own ideas about Kang Hongyuan's habit of shaking his hands, anyway, Kang Hongyuan himself had an excuse that he didn't understand the military, so he pushed it all away. The rest of the things are only done by military personnel.

"Conscription!" Zhao Li said the first thing to do, but this matter had to be helped by Kang Hongyuan. Turning his head to Kang Hongyuan's side, Kang Hongyuan didn't wait for Zhao Li to speak, and nodded directly: "There is no problem with the soldiers, don't worry!" ”

"So, training!" Zhao Li turned his head back to this side and looked at James and Sanders.

James smiled: "I'm still in charge of the rainforest mining side, and I may not be able to do it here." Nightfall nodded in the same way.

Then, there are only two people left here, Sanders and Zhao Li. The training of 2,000 recruits, even if all the soldiers who are still alive are replenished, is estimated to be a very troublesome matter.

But when he thought of this, Zhao Li suddenly remembered something else, and turned to Kang Hongyuan: "Lao Kang, this time two of the soldiers have some slight disabilities, it is estimated that there is no way to continue to serve in the army, on your side, is there a way to resettle?" ”

"No problem!" Kang Hongyuan seemed to be very interested in this matter: "Depending on their own intentions, if they are willing to follow me, they must arrange a good place for them." Yours are very loyal, much better than the ones I'm looking for. And these guys used to be idle here, and they also had a bit of a political foundation, maybe they were also good at training. ”

Kang Hongyuan actually had such a high opinion of the soldiers under his command, which made Zhao Li a little surprised. However, after listening to his later words, it suddenly dawned that before Zhao Li came, they were people who were trying to survive in the cracks, and the means of swallowing their anger and inserting needles were all used perfectly, and Kang Hongyuan was not wrong.

"The training of 2,000 people, only the two of us, is very troublesome!" Solving a soldier's worries, Zhao Li returned to the problem at hand. If you want to come up with an idea, you can only discuss it with Sanders.

"It is estimated that the practice of combat exercises for 2,000 people alone will take a long time." Sanders nodded, this is a very troublesome matter, I can't say, the two thousand people have not yet formed combat effectiveness, and they will be completely destroyed by the rebels.

"Well, can I say a word." Kang Hongyuan saw that the two of them were worried here, and couldn't help jumping out again.

Zhao Li is waiting for Kang Hongyuan, this old guy can have a good idea every time, maybe it can be easily solved this time.

"Are you planning to train soldiers to your own standards?" Kang Hongyuan asked first.

"Yes, otherwise, how can it be combative?" Zhao Li replied without thinking. According to Zhao Li's initial recruit training standards, this is already the minimum requirement. If Sanders' standards for training special instructors are followed, it is estimated that none of the two thousand will be competent.

"The temporarily organized team still has to hold such a large territory as the rainforest mining, and the rebels are in front of you, where is the time for you to toss like that?" Kang Hongyuan frowned and asked the two of them rhetorically.

Everyone knows this problem, and they are trying to find a way to solve it now, Kang Hongyuan said this, which is actually the same as nonsense. Sanders, of course, was a little dissatisfied, and immediately raised his eyes, as if he was about to scold.

"I mean, why do you have to be trained in combat techniques?" Kang Hongyuan hurriedly threw out the next question to divert everyone's attention.

"Without combat skills, there is not even basic combat effectiveness." Sanders, still frowning, replied.

"I understand this, but yours is the standard of the regular army!" Kang Hongyuan retorted: "Now this reading force group doesn't even have an official number, so it's not a regular army, right?" ”

"Whether it's a regular army or not, we have to take it out to fight, what we want is combat effectiveness, not this number!" Sanders was a little annoyed by Kang Hongyuan's nonsense, what does it mean that if you are not a regular army, you don't need combat effectiveness? Even James frowned a little, his elite subordinates were also not regular troops, but their combat effectiveness was no worse than ordinary regular armies. As a special instructor, it is already a habit to have high standards and strict requirements, and it is very uncomfortable to suddenly face a group of rangers.

"The LTTE and the Black Dragon Society are not regular troops, but they are somewhat combative." Kang Hongyuan's eyelids drooped, and he didn't know where to look, as if he had reminded him intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Li and Sanders, hearing this, couldn't help but light up their eyes. Yes, how many of those armed drug traffickers have been formally trained? Isn't it the same as picking up a gun, but also posing a great threat to the rebels? And training in the use of firearms, which is Sanders' strength.

"Makes sense!" Zhao Li finally made a decision: "We recruit enough soldiers, and immediately train them in the concept of discipline, and then the key mastery of firearms, I believe it can also play a great role." ”

"Well, I suggest ......" Just when Zhao Li was about to start assigning tasks and starting to get busy, Kang Hongyuan jumped out again: "I suggest that this time you recruit fifty to one hundred more soldiers, one surname training." Once there is a battle damage, it may be able to be replenished immediately. ”

"This, it seems to be a bit disobedient to military orders?" Zhao Li frowned, a little unsure. Although Kang Hongyuan's proposal made Zhao Li very tempted, his subconscious did not want to disobey the military order.

"In that case, that's mine." Kang Hongyuan looked at Zhao Li's hesitation and waved his hand: "Golden Five Star City recruits two thousand security guards and entrusts you to train together when training recruits, isn't this too much?" ”

One sentence made Zhao Li understand. Sometimes, in a hurry, or rather, you should learn to use reasonable ways to find excuses for some of your unruly actions. Lao Kang, this guy, is really a master of exploiting loopholes, and he leaves everyone speechless with one sentence.

It's a brilliant idea, and at the same time training twice as many recruits, just a little tired, but with a trained pool of reservists ready to replenish. And once the above wants to be investigated, there is no reason, this is the security team member of the Golden Five-Star Region, and Zhao Li can't be blamed. Old fox, smart!

"Okay, that's it!" Finally, Zhao Li decided on this matter. The ensuing discussion does not seem to have made any particular progress. If you want to win military merits, you need to see how the rebels move, and it is not something that a few of them can discuss here. Take the initiative? With 2,000 untrained theoretical soldiers? No kidding, if you can let them master the skills of combat cooperation in a month, they are already going to burn high incense, who knows if the rebels will give them a month?

The rebels' route of action was still towards their original transport ship, and Li Mengdie had already reported it again. However, when he was reporting, Zhao Li heard the faint sound of gunshots, and he also began to worry about Li Mengdie. In the communication, Zhao Li once again told Li Mengdie that the first task was to find out the whereabouts of the rebels, and the harassment operation could not be done for the time being. It's strange that I know that Li Mengdie is better than my skills, but I can't help but worry.

The whereabouts of the two disabled soldiers, Zhao Li found them at the first time and told them his plans. In fact, because of the high war insurance, the two soldiers could receive a large amount of compensation even if they were discharged directly and returned home. However, hearing that they could follow Kang Hongyuan to continue to help Zhao Li here, the two of them agreed to stay without thinking about it, which made Zhao Li very emotional.

The relationship with the LTTE is very awkward, it stands to reason that the regular army and the armed drug dealers, these should be two groups that are incompatible, but now it is obvious that they are cooperating tacitly. Zhao Li even thought that if they could directly recruit this group of people from the Tiger Organization into the army, then they would immediately get a team with considerable combat effectiveness. It's a pity that this can only be an idea, and once this is done, the relationship with the LTTE is estimated to fall into a trough in an instant. Those people came to help, not to be dug up by themselves.

Next, Zhao Li began to pray if the rebels could give him enough time to pull out the team that had been barely able to fight.

176. Return to the horse with a shot

Putting hope in the enemy is the most stupid and unrealistic. Although Zhao Li hoped that the enemy would make the correct action he expected, this could only be an illusion, and it was his own efforts that could really determine the victory.

Kang Hongyuan's efficiency shocked Zhao Li very much. Maybe this time is really an opportunity to rise, Kang Hongyuan used all his strength. When Zhao Li received Kang Hongyuan's notice that the conscription was completed, two hours had not passed.

Zhao Li was stunned when he looked at the quasi-soldiers who were standing all over the mountains, although there were no trained movements of soldiers, but they had always maintained high morale, he still couldn't believe it in his mind, it was so easy for Kang Hongyuan to solve what he thought was the most difficult thing?

Recruiting 2,000 soldiers, in Zhao Li's mind, even if it is the desire of the citizens of the Golden Five Star, it will take at least a week, but he didn't expect that it would only take Kang Hongyuan two hours to solve it. This made Zhao Li surprise at the same time, but also his understanding of Kang Hongyuan to a new level. When it comes to mobilizing public sentiment, Zhao Li can't catch up with a master like Kang Hongyuan.

"It's just wishful thinking on your part." Kang Hongyuan didn't take credit for this: "It's so easy, thanks to your prestige here." Whose credit should be whose credit is whose credit, Kang Hongyuan never seems to be bad at all: "You love the reputation of your subordinates, and your behavior of working hard for Golden Five Star City, everyone is deeply encouraged." Joining the army and defending your homeland is the desire of the people, and following you is another prerequisite for everyone to join immediately. At the very least, you will never let them suffer, and even if it is a sacrifice, it will not be sacrificed in vain. ”

These quasi-soldiers are exactly the people who were mobilized before following Kang Hongyuan this time. They are all young and middle-aged, very suitable soldiers, and their morale is high, and they have witnessed the victory of more than 100 people led by Zhao Li not long ago, and they are full of confidence in following Zhao Li.

These numbers are not only 4,000 people, but should be in the early 5,000s. However, Kang Hongyuan threw this question directly to Zhao Li: "Which people you think are suitable, just stay." If it doesn't fit, return it, in short, you can do it. This tone of speech made Zhao Li really a little suspicious, did Kang Hongyuan anticipate all this a long time ago and made all the preparations in advance? If it weren't for Kang Hongyuan's lack of access to the latest battle report here, Zhao Li would really think that Kang Hongyuan had premeditated.

The number of people is a problem, but it is a problem of too much, not too little. I don't know when the airdropped materials above will arrive, and whether it will be enough for so many people to consume. If there is no problem, Zhao Li plans to train them all, anyway, one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also released.

After spending almost a day here, it was already confirmed that the rebels' course of action was to return to the transport ship first, and the mass alert here was meaningless.

Zhao Li was still a little embarrassed when he saw Lei Yao and them leave: "I'm really sorry, I let you run for nothing this time, and you didn't get any loot." "The reason why I say this is because those recruits directly equipped all the weapons left behind by the Black Dragon Society and the rebels as training firearms, but it was the LTTE that came and didn't get anything except for one hard work.

"You're welcome." Lei Yao spoke very politely: "It's not for nothing, at least our people have witnessed the demise of the Black Dragon Society, and they all firmly believe that only us, the biggest drug dealer, is left here, and business will be much better in the future." What's more, there are those things that Mr. Kang promised, it is we who should be embarrassed, just ran errands, and the benefits were lost. ”

With these drug traffickers, Zhao Li didn't know what kind of mentality he had, on the one hand, he was grateful to them for coming to relieve the siege, but on the other hand, he was a little resistant to their way of survival. However, since legal drug trafficking is allowed in this place, Zhao Li has no reason to accuse them of anything: "Well, in the future, only your family will be the only one, don't be too public." Before leaving, Zhao Li actually said such a sentence to Lei Yao.

Lei Yao was a little surprised when he heard this, but he also showed a contemplative look. After a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand and shook Zhao Li heavily: "Thank you for your advice, I will pass on this sentence to our master." If there is such a thing in the future, just ask. ”

After sending off the people of the Tiger Organization, Zhao Li really began to be busy with the recruits. When all the soldiers from the original base were gathered and this order was announced, surprisingly, those soldiers did not cheer happily because they were about to be promoted, they just stared at Zhao Li with that eager gaze, as if they were still waiting for his order.

"According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 5,000 people, that is, each of you is responsible for the training and command of about sixty soldiers." Zhao Li gave everyone a target: "So, take out the skills you learned under the training of Sanders instructors, and train these recruits as soon as possible to become soldiers who abide by discipline, enforce orders and prohibitions, and fight bravely!" ”

"For the time being, you won't have formal officer orders and rank promotion orders, but, I promise, all of them will be." After letting everyone understand what they were going to do, Zhao Li ended the gathering with this sentence.

Although the rebels left, no one was sure that they would come back to the carbines, which was the worst, so they had to leave a group of people here. The other recruits were brought back to James's mine, and he was the only one who had such a big place to train so many people.

To Zhao Li's surprise, after roughly grouping all the recruits and handing them over to their new captains to lead, the first thing these recruits did was not to rush to the mining area as soon as possible to start training, but to carry the bodies of all the sacrificed soldiers and return to the original barracks under the leadership of their captain.

The barracks had been damaged by the first round of air strikes by the rebels, but the adjacent cemetery was intact and unattacked. The bodies of the sacrificed comrades-in-arms were cleaned up, dressed in neat clothes, and ceremoniously buried in the case of more than 5,000 recruits sending them off as a team. Before the training began, these would-be soldiers experienced a vivid education of military honor.

James was also in great trouble this time, and all the more than 5,000 young adults in his mining area had enlisted in the army, which made his production very difficult. Originally, according to his intentions, since it was a bait, then he didn't have to worry about production for the time being, but he was dissuaded by Kang Hongyuan.

The more normal the production here, the more it can show that there is no major change here. Neither the above nor the rebels would have wanted the mine to stop production. As a last resort, James had no choice but to start recruiting new workers. At the same time, in order to provide a series of activities such as training and accommodation for so many people in Zhao Li, James had to double the recruitment of manpower, and at the same time start construction, he also temporarily provided logistics services for Zhao Li and them.

What's more, in order to prevent the losses caused by a possible attack by the rebels, James had to build another large construction and build the storehouse underground, so that even if it was attacked by air, a certain amount of goods could be guaranteed.

The airdrop promised by General Lucas finally arrived after the fifth day. To Zhao Li's surprise, the above may have taken into account that the small warships he had here had been destroyed by the rebels, so he specially dispatched two medium-sized attack ships and two small transport ships. Fortunately, the mining area is large, and it is only necessary to level the land for these warships to take off and land, which does not hinder their normal training, but makes the personnel who provide logistics services on James's side tired and half dead.

With these few warships, Zhao Li's pressure has been greatly reduced, at least there is no need to put too many people in the pass over there, as long as a few people are in charge of monitoring, the large army can arrive within an hour by warship at any time. At the same time, Li Mengdie, who was monitoring the movements of the rebels, could also quickly complete the task and pick them up.

The general seems to have invested a lot of money this time, and among the materials airdropped, in addition to weapons and ammunition, there are more other living materials, not to mention 2,000 people, even if it is twice as much, it can support a long time.

The arrival of this batch of materials also made Zhao Li's hanging heart half relaxed. Otherwise, just the little materials in the James mining area will be eaten up by tens of thousands of people from these places in a few days.

But Zhao Li was very strange, why did the general put so many supplies, could it have been calculated that he would recruit a large number of people here?

While he was puzzled, Zhao Li found that Kang Hongyuan had done something that he couldn't imagine at all. After Kang Hongyuan enthusiastically recruited Zhao Li and supported the army, Kang Hongyuan, who returned to Jinwuxing City, actually protested directly to the military, protesting against a series of activities such as the military's violation of the garrison agreement in the Jinwuxing area and the forced conscription exceeding the scale.

Before Zhao Li and Kang Hongyuan communicated about these things, Zhao Li received a communication from the general, and it seemed that Zhao Li had completed the recruitment task so quickly this time, and the general praised him verbally with a smile on his face, and encouraged Zhao Li to make persistent efforts to quickly make the recruits form combat effectiveness.

After receiving this communication, Zhao Li finally understood what Kang Hongyuan meant. Zhao Li himself seems to be a person who is not very willing to take credit for his warriors, unless he strives for credit for his warriors. Through this protest action, Kang Hongyuan can be regarded as a side credit for Zhao Li in the army.

Moreover, it seems that this kind of technique can be appreciated more than Zhao Li jumping out by himself. A low-ranking officer who doesn't care about local laws at all, but obeys the orders of the military, has a promising future. Provided, of course, that he is not sacrificed.

The training here has just begun in earnest, but the rebels have made a new move. After seven or eight days of patience with their surnames, several people who were assigned to monitor the pass suddenly discovered that a contingent of more than 200 rebels had appeared on the defense line of the pass.

The departure of large rebel forces was a fact, and the march was slow, seemingly being dragged down by their wounded, as well as unfamiliarity with jungle warfare. And the commander of the rebels, however, left two hundred elites on the road. Li Mengdie and the others were responsible for tracking down the rebels, but they were just keeping up with the large army, but it was difficult to find this team that was ordered to lurk.

According to the judgment of the rebel commander, it is impossible for the political axe army to defend such a small pass for a long time, as long as they wait for their men to evacuate far enough, the political axe army will definitely let down their guard and withdraw from the pass. As long as Zhao Li and the others retreat, this elite squad can directly kill a horse gun and occupy the military stronghold of the pass.

This inference is not wrong, even if Zhao Li did not receive these orders from behind, it is impossible for him to stay at the pass all the time, and he will always evacuate. And this is the opportunity for the rebels. As long as this pass is occupied, the brigade will turn around, and the political axe army will not be able to break through the strong fortifications built by Zhao Li and them themselves, even if they add the people. This can be regarded as a cocoon!

It's a pity that the rebels didn't expect that the general would quickly send two medium-sized attack ships to Zhao Li. When the news that the enemy had appeared above the pass came back, Zhao Li had just received all the supplies and battleships, and after receiving the report, without saying a word, he directly sent two attack ships.

A team of two hundred people, relying on the strong fortifications of the pass, resisted more infantry than them, which was not a big problem, and Zhao Li had proved this with victory. However, in the absence of large-scale anti-aircraft weapons, the ground personnel are powerless in the face of such an air attack that cannot be returned at all.

The rebel lurking team only had time to send back a report of an air raid, and the entire pass fortifications were turned into a sea of fire. Zhao Li, who personally supervised the battle on the attack ship, was almost frightened by the kind of artillery fire that covered his surname. If the rebels had attack ships coming earlier, then it was probably Zhao Li and them who were struggling in the sea of fire below.

After that, Zhao Li actually had a very strange thought. It seems that such a large attack intensity did not cause bushfires, which is also due to the often rainy climate in the tropical jungle. I wonder if those rebel soldiers, for the first time in this tropical jungle for such a long time, will there be an epidemic?

The rebel army, which seemed to have received the final report of the soldiers who had attacked the pass, finally completely let go of the luck of returning the rifles, accelerated their speed, and quickly withdrew. Although the effect of the air raid in the jungle is not very good, they cannot be unguarded, once Zhao Li uses the attack ship to attack, then their situation will be even more difficult.

Zhao Li did not disappoint the rebels, and under Li Mengdie's positioning, the rebels were attacked by attack ships all the way. Heavy casualties. After several successive attempts, the rebel commander had to break up the brigade into small groups and quickly evacuate.

At this time, the bombing was meaningless, and Zhao Li finally took Li Mengdie, who was in charge of monitoring the rebels, and those soldiers back with a battleship. None of the elite soldiers trained by James himself were wasted, and all of them were thrown into the barracks to serve as instructors and train those recruits.

The training is in full swing in the mining area, and Zhao Li is also waiting, waiting for where the two airdropped regiments that the general said will fall, and how he needs to cooperate with them?

It's just that the more he deduces, the more Zhao Li feels that it is only the remnants of the 2,000 rebels who are defeated, and such a big move is really not worth it. Well, it can only be said that there must be a bigger problem behind this.

(To be continued)
