Chapter 208: Breakthrough
"Bring it in!"
The first thing Chu Xiong did was to let 15 veteran players enter the field. They had to let these rookies find the gaps first.
The 15 veteran players immediately shocked these smug rookies as soon as they entered the venue. They thought they were already a figure, but after feeling the aura of the senior players, they realized that they were still far from the real elite.
Every team member has a strong murderous aura and is as motionless as a mountain. Just standing in line puts invisible pressure on them, as if they are thrown next to a group of tigers.
Their equipment and military uniforms are even more enviable to these rookies. The main color of their military uniforms is still the earthy gray of the Eighth Route Army, but the style is completely beyond their understanding. It looks like the auspicious uniforms of later generations.
There are many pockets in the clothes, and they are full of various objects. There are seven or eight Japanese melon grenades hanging on them, and a special dagger is tied to his leg.
Everyone has a cowhide armed belt on their waist, with a 20-shot shell gun and several bullet boxes inserted into it.
The team of more than a dozen people was equipped with a machine gun, a small cannon, seven or eight machine guns, and several rifles with lens barrels.
Each person also carries a big backpack on their back, which is full of bulging bags and contains who knows how many good things.
On each person's head was a special steel helmet modified from a captured Japanese steel helmet. It was covered with earth helmet-colored deposits, which could be used for a lot of camouflage, and the reflection of the helmet was also processed.
"Comrades, do you want this outfit?"
Chu Xiong's voice was full of temptation. The rookies fell in love with him unknowingly and spoke their thoughts unconsciously:
"think!"
Chu Xiong continued:
"If you want it to be simple, after a month of training, everyone who can stay will be able to stay. One person will have a set of skills, and there will be more good things in the future."
"Because you will become the elite among the elites of the Eighth Route Army. You will have one meal of meat a day, you can make bullets, you will endure hardships that ordinary people cannot endure, and you will complete tasks that are impossible for ordinary people!"
"Do you still want it?"
"think!"
The answer was louder, "One meal of meat a day!"
Isn’t such a day so beautiful?
"It's no use just thinking, you have to show your real skills. I only need 30 of you. The rest of you will go back wherever they come from!"
Li Guoping was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't want to return to the Li family's village soldier company again!
How can I see Erni when I go back in such a dejected mood?
"Er Fool, your name is Li Guoping now. You can't go back to the days when you were called Er Fool. No matter how hard you endure, you must persevere!"
"I must stay!"
Li Guoping secretly made up his mind.
Almost everyone had the same idea as Li Guoping. It would be too shameful to go back in such a dejected manner.
This is exactly what Chu Xiong needs. Only the sense of crisis will bring out the greatest potential in them. He wants 30 of them, not even one more!
When the red sun in the early morning just peeked out from the horizon, the devilish training month for this group of rookies began.
The first training subject is a 20-kilometer cross-country trip with a weight of 20 kilograms, starting from Liuzhen and running along the road to Chenjialing, and then turning back.
This is just the first appetizer!
Most of the people fell down just after the first dish. Many people don't know how to run long distances with heavy weights.
Of course, training must involve an adaptation process. In order to improve the training effect, Chu Xiong also assigned 15 veteran team members to serve as team leaders. Each team has 6 rookies and 1 team leader.
During the assessment, team results are recorded, and special teams do not need individual heroism to fight alone.
From the first lesson, we must let them understand that they are a whole, and they will both suffer and prosper.
Although the old team members will not be eliminated, their performance in leading the team will serve as the basis for whether they can become team leaders or squad leaders after the expansion.
There is still a big gap in the military quality of this batch of new members. Those selected from field companies and garrison companies are obviously much better than those from militia companies.
Most of the field companies have experienced actual combat and have been trained according to the training outline written by Chu Xiong for more than half a year. Their military quality is definitely not comparable to that of militiamen who have only received basic military training.
Even the garrison company is worse. The training and physical quality of the garrison company are no worse than those of the field company, but they have not experienced actual combat.
Because Chuxiong took these actual gaps into consideration, when dividing the groups into groups, the forces of the three groups were evenly matched, and each group had a militia.
The assessment is based on team performance, which is fair and reasonable. If the team is not good, no matter how strong an individual is, it will be useless!
What special forces want is members with a strong sense of teamwork, and combat effectiveness also comes from the team.
Li Guoping's team leader Chen Yan and Chen Xiaohu were playmates who grew up naked in the village. They came out with Chu Xiong and others to make a revolution, and were old men from the Fourth Army.
The veteran team members are almost all old people from the Fourth Front Army. They have experienced the test of the Long March, have firm revolutionary will, and excellent military quality. The idea of guerrilla warfare has been deeply rooted in their bones. Under Chu Xiong's hard training, they have mastered the special operations tactics that he transferred from later generations.
True biography.
Time was tight, and Chu Xiong could not practice step by step like later generations. The Japanese would not give him so much time, so he could only do it quickly and then polish it in actual combat.
One month of off-the-job training is already the limit. Once the Japanese come to raid, they must directly switch to actual combat.
For this training, Chu Xiong specifically asked Yang Wei to approve 3,000 yuan of training funds and 5,000 rounds of ammunition, ensuring that each team member had 50 rounds of training ammunition and had a meal of meat every day.
Chen Yan's group also includes 3 field company soldiers and 2 garrison company soldiers. Li Guoping has been in the army for the shortest time and is the focus of their care.
Running with weights and running with bare hands are two completely different concepts. Starting from the sixth kilometer, Li Guoping began to feel very strenuous and his breathing became messy.
"Guoping, adjust your breathing and don't be impatient!"
Chen Yan came closer. He had been paying attention to Li Guoping's condition. It was beyond his expectation that Li Guoping could persist for more than six kilometers.
Chen Yan wanted to help Li Guoping take off his backpack, but he refused. This was just the beginning and he didn't want to rely on others' help to complete his first training subject.
"Team leader, I can persist!"
"Very good, come on, be sure to adjust your breathing and take bigger steps!"
Chapter completed!
