But this kind of training cannot form combat effectiveness without long-term and arduous training. Yang Zhen still remembers his unforgettable experience in the selection team in his later life. The layers of skin on his hands and body during that time
The experience of being rubbed off and the sweat on the body never dried, and a camouflage uniform being riddled with holes within a month of wearing it.
If after spending such a high price and training only a group of ordinary scouts or even ordinary infantrymen, who can only engage in the work and tasks of an ordinary reconnaissance company, then I have not invested so much in this unit.
Hard work is necessary. Wouldn't it be easier to randomly select a group of veterans? Wouldn't it be easier to train them?
The cumbersomeness and complexity of forming this kind of force is far beyond that of forming an ordinary reconnaissance company. Just selecting each combat team member will take several months, and the training of cadres at all levels will take a lot of time.
However, not only does the advancing army not have the time, I am afraid that the cadres and soldiers under its command do not have the physical fitness either.
No one with good physical fitness can bear such a huge amount of training. As for the current advancing army, due to long-term food shortages since entering Rehe, they can only eat black beans and yam eggs to satisfy their hunger most of the time.
Even millet has become a rare delicacy.
Most people, including these two old coaches, have faces full of shame. How can they withstand such physical fitness? If some personnel are selected for training now, let alone affecting the military operations, it is such a large amount of exercise
Training can tire these people out. After thinking about it, Yang Zhen decided to tell the truth truthfully.
At this time, it is not good to be too secretive. And in front of these two old chiefs, Yang Zhen believes that there is nothing to hide. Special forces are a development trend in future operations. This type of combat model will be used sooner or later.
It needs to be promoted to the whole army. Although the various troops in the pass do not have the strength to form such a force at the moment. But it does not exist now, and it does not mean that it will not happen in the future.
The two old commanders, especially the commander, who is a military master, will not fail to see the advantages of this. With the support of the two old commanders, and the prestige of the two old commanders, they will resist the promotion of this combat model in the future.
It will be much smaller. After all, the cost of setting up such an army can be astronomical. It would be difficult for an ordinary army to bear such a cost.
Because even after establishing its own political power in the future, this kind of expenditure may not be necessary in the eyes of many people. Years of people's war theory and difficult conditions have made this army accustomed to being a frugal army. When formulating weapons and army development plans
At that time, we always adhered to the word "frugal", except of course that special period when all the people were soldiers.
Therefore, it is still quite necessary to obtain the support of the two old chiefs. However, the premise is that the two old chiefs must be mentally prepared for some things. Although if I say it, even the two old chiefs will be shocked, but
After all, it can be considered as a preparation in advance.
After making up his mind to tell the truth, Yang Zhen said without hesitation: "Old chief, this matter is a bit difficult. It's not that I, Yang Zhen, am stingy and reluctant to promote it to my brother troops. It's just because this kind of training is not a short period of time. It requires a
Only through the process of long-term and hard training can we finally develop it.”
"When we set up such a unit and select personnel, the preparatory personnel must be selected from squad leaders who have been tested in actual combat among the reconnaissance units of each unit, as well as veterans who have fought in two battles for more than one year. As for commanders at all levels
, you must pass strict examinations and political review.”
"During the selection, not only are there strict age restrictions, but these preparatory personnel also have to go through strict cultural and physical tests, as well as various basic tactical assessments. Only when they pass all these can they be considered to have completed the initial stage.
selection."
"After passing the initial selection, this does not mean that it is finished. During the entire training, we must continue to eliminate people. During the training process, we must also consider physical fitness, culture, marksmanship, tactical application, and psychological endurance.
Whether abilities can keep up with training requirements and can be eliminated at any time."
“Our requirement is to carry out a 15-kilometer armed cross-country trip within a certain period of time while carrying 25 kilograms of equipment, as well as a full-suit armed swim of at least three kilometers, and this is only achieved through physical training.
Minimum standards. At the same time, they not only have to carry out physical training and cultural knowledge, the use of various infantry tactics, but also various other trainings."
“There are also tactical sign language, simple Japanese, grappling, sending and receiving reports, shooting with various rifles, pistols, light and heavy machine guns and other light and heavy weapons. The laying and removal of landmines, the removal and use of various explosives. And dealing with Japanese military dogs.
search and various reconnaissance methods, and conduct counter-reconnaissance training."
"For the training of light weapons only, our requirements are the ability to assemble weapons by using parts obtained on the battlefield, and the ability to use all the current light weapons of the Japanese army for combat. There is also the accuracy of tactical positioning.
Shooting, reaction shooting on the move, reaction shooting at night, shooting from a moving car.”
"For blasting training, we require more than just using standard explosives for blasting. We require trainees to eventually be able to use various materials that can be collected, such as soap, gasoline, sugar, washing powder, alcohol, etc.
Making explosives. There is also the use of explosives for directional blasting, which means blowing down a house without damaging other buildings within ten meters of the house."
"In addition to these basic trainings, there are also car and tank driving training, simple repair training. Theoretical study of aircraft, and the ability to perform simple driving when necessary. At the same time, various prisoner training and field training are also required.
Survival training, and tactical training like today."
"Our wilderness survival training is based on giving a person seven matches and a piece of compressed biscuit to survive alone in an uninhabited mountainous area for seven days. And during the training and in the process of looking for food, firearms are not allowed. At the same time, no firearms are allowed.
Because it causes fire and exposes one's target."
"Not counting individual soldier training, there is also unit collaborative tactical application training, grouping and combined combat training. As well as artillery shooting element determination and calculation, actual combat operations of various artillery, anti-tank and air defense coordinated operations, various counter-reconnaissance training,
Interrogation and counter-interrogation training. The snipers among them also need to undergo separate long-range precision blocking training."
"In addition to regular field training and night combat training, there are also a series of operations such as street fighting, indoor combat, and courtyard combat. There is also beheading training for the high command of the Japanese and puppet troops, and guidance of aircraft to carry out air strikes on important Japanese and puppet targets.
And a series of training such as rescuing hostages when necessary. This series of operations is what we call special operations."
"A soldier like this needs to complete all the training and use various pistols, rifles, and machine guns with at least tens of thousands of bullets, and hundreds of grenades. There are also a large number of rocket launchers, recoilless guns, and mortars of various calibers.
, mountain and field artillery shells, as well as cars, tanks and armored vehicles.”
"When conducting parachute training, aircraft and parachutes are also needed. When conducting demolition training and anti-gas warfare, various chemical reagents are also needed. There are also some equipment needed for psychological warfare training. These
This is still the most basic training, and the materials needed for other subsequent trainings have not been included."
"Such a lot of training is not possible without a long period of training. Not only is time not allowed, but there is also a lack of necessary infrastructure here. For street fighting and indoor combat training alone, we have specially built it in Fujin
A base. But in Rehe, there are no similar conditions."
"And according to the current physical condition of the cadres and soldiers who are advancing into the army, it is difficult for them to undertake such a large amount of training. As for my guard platoon, they just don't have people who can pass the final selection, or they are just reserve members. What they learned
For some things, it’s still about the guards. As for the training to rescue the hostages, it can only be said to be average. In fact, their performance today was not very good.”
"The people the commander met in Yan'an were just embryos that had just taken shape at that time. The conditions at that time were not as good as they are now, and the training methods were still very limited. Many trainings could not be completed. This army truly
It took shape after we seized Jiamusi the year before last, expanded our base, and gained confidence."
"Wang Guangyu has some of their troops there, cooperating with them in fighting. After the advancing army joins Wang Guangyu's troops, you two will see what the real special forces are. But now, even if the troops are expanded, the foundation of the base area
We have a certain foundation, but due to conditions, the size of this force is still limited."
"The entire army has hundreds of thousands of troops, but only more than 2,000 people have been selected. This is still a slightly lower level of education. These people are not counted as equipment. It takes a lot of time to train a single person from rough to finished.
The cost is almost the same as training a pilot. In some aspects, it is even much higher. In addition to the quality of the personnel, the high cost is also a certain reason."
"I understand your thoughts, two old chiefs. If you just want those half-bottles of water, I can keep people now and change their clothes right away. But I suggest that we wait until the war in Jehol stabilizes and we send
We specially selected a group of cadres and soldiers to undergo comprehensive training at our training base in northern Manchuria."
"I promise that as soon as the battle in Jehol is over, I will immediately send people to select. After a year, these trained personnel, together with the accompanying equipment, will all be returned to Zhao. But the two old chiefs have something to say first.
Up front, according to our standards, there is a death indicator in training. And this death indicator is not low. Because their training is based on actual combat."
After listening to Yang Zhen's words, the two veterans looked at each other, smacking their tongues and shaking their heads in unison. In their opinion, Yang Zhen's guard platoon had exquisite use of various tactics and powerful firepower.
The combat capability of an individual soldier is incredible enough.
But I didn't expect that these people were just reserve members or eliminated members. If these were real special forces, how powerful would they be? It's hard for the two of them to imagine. How can this be training an army?
From Shuai's point of view, this is simply training a group of all-rounders.
A scout is not only required to be able to position tanks and cars, but is also required to be able to fly an airplane. In the eyes of the two of them, this is really a waste. As for this kind of training, let alone the current advancing army, it is probably all the troops in the pass.
It’s all very difficult. Not to mention the planes needed for parachuting, the cars and tanks needed to learn how to drive, and even the ammunition consumed, we can’t afford them.
