Chapter 861: Survival in the Wild
There are nearly 20,000 scattered troops on the entire warring planet, evenly distributed on a demarcation line, although all the troops are distributed in the most suitable areas for survival, but these troops are distributed in different areas of the planet, and it is inevitable that they will be tested by different environments.
You must know that this is not a mature planet, this ecological planet that has been selected as a warring planet is huge, and the radius of the planet is tens of thousands of kilometers, even if all the troops are put into a relatively safe and risk-free area as much as possible, but it is inevitable that the troops will be assigned to some relatively harsh environments.
On a primitive ecological planet, there are no artificial buildings, and there is a mature habitable land developed by human beings, so for humans, who are thin-skinned and pampered, there are many risks to survive in such an environment.
Whether it is poisonous snakes and beasts, mosquito bites, or miasma poisonous mist breeding in the natural environment, etc., they can easily kill people.
Of course, for an integrated unit with a large number of tens of thousands of people, because of the large number of people and the abundant weapons and armor, a certain amount of food and drinking water, and other resources, as long as they can make full use of their human resources as much as possible, rationally arrange manpower, and solve all kinds of dangers and problems in their respective environments, then there is still no big problem in surviving in such a harsh environment and ensuring their combat strength as much as possible.
However, this refers to mature units that are mature enough, have enough experience, and have a well-established and strict internal system, and it is a pity that the vast majority of integrated troops in the two warring civilizations obviously do not meet this situation.
Even if in order to ensure combat effectiveness as much as possible, the two warring civilizations have assigned some veterans as the core and commander of the troops in all the integrated troops, even if the soldiers of these integrated troops have already begun to recruit, eliminate and train as soon as the alliance announced the implementation of the new rules of war, but in a short period of a few months, it is obviously not enough to really train these free and loose ordinary citizens with weak physical strength to train iron discipline and strong physical fitness.
All these belligerent troops can be said to be just carrying the false name of a unit, and they were thrown into the battlefield by the civilization to which they belonged at a time when it was not suitable to be put into the battlefield at all.
The citizens of these interstellar civilizations, although they are no strangers to planetary civilizations, have some common sense about how to survive on strange planets, and even many citizens have experienced various tests in various virtual games, which can be regarded as a lot of knowledge.
But in the final analysis, these people do not have the real ability and knowledge to survive in the wild, and when it comes to what to do in the real environment, most of them are blind.
This is true not only of ordinary citizens, but also of the soldiers of interstellar civilizations, who are too unfamiliar with the real primitive environment to have the knowledge and ability to truly survive in the wild.
In fact, most of the time, they don't need similar knowledge reserves at all, and for the warriors of interstellar civilizations, even if they enter the army, they don't need to face the cruel test of survival in the wild. Most of the time, they were either required to serve in battleships or in various battle fortresses.
Even if they need to go out to carry out operations, these soldiers also need to achieve a variety of transportation vehicles, no matter how harsh the living environment in the wilderness, it will not fall on them at all, in the various war vehicles they take on the mission, the environment is adjusted to the most suitable state, and the various material reserves inside the vehicles are enough to meet their various living needs, where do you need to think about what to survive in the wild.
Even in the most special state, which can be said to have a 1 in 100 million chance of being in the wilderness, these soldiers do not need to think about survival in the wilderness at all.
As warriors of interstellar civilizations, even if they only have a set of individual equipment, they don't need to worry about any difficulties in survival.
What is the exoskeleton armor used for? Once the helmet is closed, the inside of the armor is the most suitable environment for human survival, and the external environment is a poisonous fog or even a vacuum, which does not delay their survival at all, and even the exoskeleton armor will have enough supplies to consume for more than a week, and the water can even be collected in circulation inside the armor, in this case, where will these soldiers need any funny wilderness survival skills!
For the warriors of these interstellar civilizations, there are simply too many skills they need to learn and train, and too many things are much more useful than the so-called wilderness survival ability, and they simply can't spare even a little time to train the so-called wilderness survival ability and skills.
It can even be said that if it is really time to rely on the so-called wilderness survivability to survive, they will not be far from death, under normal circumstances, the rescue force should have rescued them a long time ago, once they are completely disconnected from their subordinate troops, it may not even be a good thing for these soldiers to live a few more days, and it is better to die altogether.
It is precisely because there is no need to consider any ability to survive in the wild, so even the professional soldiers of two warring civilizations do not have enough ability and skills to survive in the wild, which makes almost all the combat troops on this warring planet have enough understanding of the natural ecology and survival laws of the primitive planet.
All the troops are extremely unfamiliar with the environment on this primitive planet, and they do not know what should be the most suitable to ensure safety and the combat ability of the warriors, it can be said that just because of this reason, it has greatly weakened the manpower advantage of these troops, making it difficult for them to survive on this planet.
At this time, the performance of these reorganized units was also different, and many units at this time simply became a funny team with frequent jokes, and they were so energetic that they were all ugly and behaved, and staged all kinds of unprofessional behaviors on the battlefield.
Because the organization of some reorganized units is too sloppy and the results of military training in a short period of time are too unsatisfactory, the entire unit simply does not recognize the generals and generals, and cannot even maintain a minimum organizational structure.
The reorganized troops of more than 10,000 people can be said to have all kinds of problems emerging one after another as soon as they enter the battlefield, and they are divided into various teams, large and small, and everyone is doing their own thing, and they cannot form a joint force at all.
Although it may not be said that all the soldiers will face a crisis of survival, and everyone will definitely encounter any danger or accident, the entire unit has completely collapsed, and the overall combat effectiveness has lost at least half of it at once.
Without the joint force of the whole army, even if the individual strength is strong, no matter how outstanding the individual ability, it is difficult to solve all the problems of survival in the wild.
Food, drink, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, everything is a problem in the wild environment, and all kinds of seemingly inconspicuous small problems are constantly eroding the health and physical fitness of soldiers, and these soldiers will only become weaker and weaker, and eventually even become vulnerable.
In fact, although the environment for survival in the wild is harsh, it is an excellent opportunity for most troops to run in the team.
Even if no one in the entire army has sufficient experience in surviving in the wilderness, as long as the order of the entire unit can be stabilized and the collective wisdom and efforts of the whole army can analyze the problems they are facing, and with the concerted efforts of many soldiers, these problems will be overcome one by one, and even allow the troops to survive extremely well in the field environment, and maintain their health and combat integrity to the greatest extent.
After all, each of these integrated units has tens of thousands of people, and even if none of the soldiers have real experience in surviving in the wild, for the citizens and soldiers of interstellar civilizations, their knowledge is sufficient, and they are very clear about the basic survival principles of survival in the wild.
It is nothing more than solving some problems of safety and survival, food, accommodation, fire, safety, etc., as long as you are willing to think and pay attention to observation, these problems that need to be solved in the wilderness survival are not difficult to solve.
Even if these soldiers don't have any advanced tools to raise flames, everyone knows that friction makes fire, even if they send a hundred or ten people to drill wood to make fire, they can fight hard to make a bonfire, which is not a problem for these people at all!
The same is true of all kinds of other problems, as long as they are willing to solve them and the organization has enough manpower, there is no problem that cannot be solved, even if there are some mistakes in the order of solving some key problems, as long as the entire army pays the price and pays enough manpower to solve the problem, in the final analysis, it will not really affect the survival and combat effectiveness of the entire army.
After all, no matter how you say it, they are all citizens of interstellar civilization, and the members of these troops are not too big a problem in terms of intelligence, knowledge reserves, and abilities, even if some unreliable troops split as soon as they enter the field, but the vast majority of troops can still show their due level.
Some exceptionally outstanding units have even preliminarily solved the problem of the survival of the entire unit in a very short period of time, and have even set their sights on a more long-term and more crucial aspect of the confrontation between the enemy and ourselves.
The number of such troops is not large, but there are two interstellar civilizations, which have a more long-term vision and more capabilities, and have been preparing for long-term operations from the beginning.
Some of the similar troops are already looking for suitable locations and preparing to build improvised city defense facilities while assigning all kinds of manpower to deal with various survival problems at the first time, and they are preparing to set up camp and establish a solid rear.
After all, the civilizations of the two sides are a large-scale fight of hundreds of millions of fighters, even if there are those who fight when they meet, and those who cannot survive, but hundreds of millions of soldiers want to really fight to the death, fight out the strength of victory and defeat, this is not a thing that can be done overnight, this must be a relatively long process that takes time to solve.
Therefore, in this process, it is inevitable to build up large rear defense facilities, which can not only preserve one's own strength as much as possible, but also increase the difficulty of the opponent's operations.
And anyway, the whole army needs to camp, and it is necessary to build camps that are enough to meet the needs of the soldiers' lives, so in this case, instead of reluctantly building simple small shacks, it is better to simply establish a relatively rigorous regular camp, which consumes a little more manpower and time, and the current army is overcrowded, and this consumption is obviously nothing.
Although all the soldiers in the army have not really experienced anything like this, and it is not clear how the camp should be arranged during the real cold weapon period, the general principle is nothing more than that, the establishment of a wall, the entrance and exit of the camp defense blocking facilities, the wall defense attack position, the arrow tower, the internal division, the functional distinction, the defense of the attack, The preparation for being set on fire, the rules and division of labor for patrolling and night duty, etc., as long as you do something like this, you can roughly be regarded as a qualified small camp, and more things undoubtedly need to be constantly improved.
Most of the warring sides were thrown within a hundred miles of the dividing line, and most of the troops were so far apart that it was not easy to find each other to complete the battle.
Therefore, the first time after entering the battlefield, it is not a good opportunity to fight, and it is not the best choice to rush to attack the opponent at this time.
And compared with the enemy's long distance, the position of the friendly army is obviously closer, their own troops are put on their own side, and the distance between them is not far, the first time to establish the position of the friendly army, establish each other's contact and cooperation, and even complete the integration of the friendly army, which can undoubtedly better form a joint force, and then establish a greater combat advantage, so the troops with a combat vision will not forget to send a certain number of manpower to search the surrounding area and contact their friendly troops.
