Chapter 108: The Strongest Battalion
At this time, the Zhendong camp had become very lively.
Liao Mingyu has set up several training venues here, and the soldiers of the first battalion are training intensively.
Yu Xiaoqing's words a few days ago also indirectly reminded him that no matter what the future battle situation would be, it would not hurt to at least be well prepared.
The third and fourth companies of Mi Long and Dakui are practicing live ammunition shooting at the shooting range. Liao Mingyu's requirements are very simple. Each soldier must fire 20 rounds of bullets, and must ensure that half of the 20 rounds hit the target at a distance of 100 meters.
It doesn’t matter how many rings you can get, as long as you can hit the target. Otherwise, hang bricks for half an hour and run 5 kilometers around Zenda.
Although this indicator is not very high, at least more than one-third of the soldiers cannot meet the requirements. Why were the marksmanship of the Japs so good in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War? They were all fed by bullets. What were the requirements of the Japs in the early days?
The shooting distance of 100 meters is sure to hit!
Although the Japanese army is in decline now, they still have many veterans with good marksmanship. The Chinese army has no advantage at all in shooting against them at a distance of two to three hundred meters.
Fortunately, most situations on the Myanmar battlefield do not require such a long combat distance, but marksmanship cannot be considered unimportant. At the very least, a hit rate of more than 50% must be achieved at a distance of 100 meters.
Otherwise, why would we call them elite? Bullshit!
"You're a bunch of bastards, they might as well be related to rats!"
Mi Long cursed loudly and started running on the dirt road with a group of people. This group of people were soldiers from the Third Company who had just failed to meet the standards in the shooting training.
Liao Mingyu requested that for soldiers who did not meet the requirements, the squad leader and platoon leader would take the lead in running with them. If half of a company failed to pass, the company commander would take the lead in running together.
As a result, almost all the platoon leaders and squad leaders of the third and fourth companies, regardless of whether they fulfilled the requirements or not, ran with the soldiers on the streets and alleys of Zenda, including the weak-minded company commander Milong.
The remaining soldiers who have completed the target can rest where they are. This is the biggest reward Liao Mingyu has given them.
This group of soldiers who had completed their mission sat in the open space and laughed heartlessly as they looked at their companions who were running awkwardly. Among them was the little follower of the lost dragon, Yang Danzi.
Unexpectedly, this guy was not only good-looking but also good at shooting. He hit the target with 20 bullets, which made his elder brother Milong's eyes widen in shock.
"Laughing? You're laughing at your father's tail! If you keep slapping me, I'll f**king kill you!"
Looking at the soldiers gloating about their misfortune, Mi Long was furious. He had clearly fulfilled his request but had to suffer with these weaklings, which made this Northeastern man very unconvinced. If Liao Mingyu hadn't been watching from the side,
He really wanted to rush up and beat them up right now.
Ten thousand rounds of ammunition and one thousand points, this exchange ratio is barely acceptable. Although doing this every day will consume a lot of ammunition and the soldiers will be very tired. But Liao Mingyu thinks it is very worth it. Still in line with the old saying: The more you sweat in peacetime, the better in battle.
Less bleeding!
The 1st and 2nd companies were conducting tactical assault training using a temporary position on a hilltop as an imaginary enemy. Sandbag fortifications and some scarecrow targets were placed on the hillside to simulate the enemy's defensive strength.
They were all issued scr-536 walkie-talkies. This device is equivalent to the origin of modern walkie-talkies. Although the weight of 2.3 kilograms is not light, it has made great progress for backpack radios that often weigh tens of kilograms.
"Isn't this what this damn thing is used for? Hey, hey? Lazi, can you hear me?"
Kaname turned on the signal switch and shouted twice into the walkie-talkie that was like a super phone.
Liao Mingyu had taught them how to use the walkie-talkies many times in the past two days. Although they are still a little clumsy in operation, they can use it normally.
"Zi...ZiZi"
After a while, a not spicy voice came out from a noisy band signal:
"You can hear it! You can hear it! Hey, this foreign thing is a bit dirty."
"Okay, okay, I have a lot to say. Pull out the artillery first and listen to my signal. Let's fire two cannons on the mountain first. After the bombardment, press the diagonal line and rush up together. Can you hear me? Hurry up.
ha!"
Kaname interrupted him impatiently and quickly told him his tactical plan. At the same time, he also called to the soldiers behind him to pull out the 60mm mortars.
"...Zi...I know. Don't run too fast. Just shout when you rush."
Bu La replied excitedly. This thing is really convenient. The two companies are on the left and right of the hillside, more than a thousand meters apart from each other, but with this walkie-talkie, it's like they can hear the voice directly in their ears.
Generally, the coordinated arrangements of troops can be achieved at long distances. It is simply a battlefield artifact.
…
"Boom! Boom!..."
Fierce explosions and scattered gunshots were heard on the hillside. It was obvious that they were practicing with live ammunition. Liao Mingyu was standing at the bottom of the mountain, watching the scene with satisfaction with a telescope.
"Captain, I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous for them to train like this."
Chen Jize stood beside him quietly and expressed his worries.
Although this can more efficiently improve the combat capabilities of the troops, using live ammunition directly in training... I am afraid that only the regimental commander in front of me dares to do this.
"What are you afraid of? If we are afraid of dying in a battle, why don't we go into battle? I would rather have some minor casualties during training than have them be killed in large numbers by the little Japanese on the battlefield!"
Liao Mingyu put down the telescope and said firmly. No one can become a qualified warrior without experiencing the baptism of artillery fire. Actual combat is the best way to sharpen a person's growth.
"A warrior who can fight a hundred battles is unstoppable." Chen Jize said without hesitation.
Although he has never truly led troops on the battlefield in recent years, he has seen too many troops of all kinds.
The Sichuan Legion felt to him like a dormant hungry wolf. They usually wagged their tails and smiled playfully, but as soon as an enemy appeared, they would immediately show their fierce teeth and viciously bite anyone who dared to stand in their way.
!
It can even be said that the leader in front of them is their wolf king. Their only belief is that as long as the leader says a word, they can continue to charge forward, even if they have to die!
"Haha, that's natural. They are all my brothers who came back from the bloody battle with me in Burma. I dare say that with this battalion, even the entire Yu Division will not be able to gain favor."
Liao Mingyu said quite proudly. Almost all the backbones of the Sichuan Army are in the First Battalion, and the personnel are basically soldiers who have experienced the bloody battle of Nantianmen. He also provides the best weapons and equipment. The entire First Battalion can be said to belong to the Sichuan Army.
