In the woods near the barracks, soldiers of the Second Supplementary Regiment could be seen everywhere, armed with mountain knives and Thomson submachine guns, marching in the mountains and forests, advancing, cutting down trees, and opening up roads.
In addition to the training of regular warfare, Zhang Wei focused on increasing the training subjects of jungle warfare, and every battalion and company was a training method that combined regular warfare and jungle warfare training every day; drilling into the forest was a common thing, and the forests next to the second regiment's barracks had already been plagued; shooting training in the jungle, opening up passages, and cutting down training made all kinds of animals in the forests unrestful every day, and a terrible disaster was ruined.
Like hares and pheasants, the nest is destroyed every day, the days are very miserable, the worst thing is that the animals encounter the blasting and wrecker training of the engineer company, a blasting often uses a dozen to dozens of blasting canisters, after a blasting, you can always find a lot of scorched animal carcasses in the forest.
Half of the officers and soldiers under Zhang Wei's command are from Guizhou, most of these brothers in Guizhou are second-class soldiers and first-class soldiers, and they are new recruits from Guizhou who were replenished by the whole regiment more than a year ago, most of them are Shanliwa, and the other half are from different sources, including northerners, Shandong Han, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Henan, these brothers are basically veterans, most of them serve as squad leaders and platoon attached positions in the army, and many of them are all from Nanjing, Xuzhou and other places with Zhang Wei all the way back, all of them are old gangs in the north, and there are not many people who are familiar with the mountainous environment in the southwest.
Although he has a lot of combat experience, he has a serious lack of knowledge about survival and discrimination in the jungle.
In view of this, Zhang Wei spent some money and invited some nearby mountain people to serve as temporary instructors, and taught the officers and soldiers of the second regiment to identify the direction in the forest, the method of judging the terrain and features, as well as some survival knowledge, and enhance the jungle survival ability of the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment.
These people, almost half of their lives, or even all their lives, have relied on the mountains for a living, grew up on the side of the mountains, ate in the forest, have dealt with the jungle and the mountains since birth, and have extremely rich survival experience, and some can even stay in the forest for more than half a month for hunting.
What they teach, perhaps not the most scientific, but at least the most practical.
Although the environment of the jungle near Baoshan cannot represent all the jungles in Myanmar, its ecological environment and jungle types can also simulate most of the jungles in Myanmar, and it is the best place to train jungles to survive and fight.
Zhang Wei recruited these mountain people, took out the ocean of white flowers, there is the ocean, up to the jungle to determine the direction, down to the jungle to eliminate the traces of the march skills, the mountain people have unreservedly taught the officers and soldiers of the second regiment, exactly, money can make the ghost grind, Zhang Wei also promised, if the teaching is good, you can also give them additional food, pork and a few handfuls of old Hanyang left in the regiment warehouse, the enthusiasm of their teaching, mobilized to the highest peak.
"Harder to cut off" In the forest, Xue Rong, the leader of the spy platoon, was carrying a Thomson submachine gun, dressed in camouflage, brandishing a mountain knife, and was facing a tree with two arms thick, swinging the knife and slashing.
Around, all the soldiers of the regiment's special service platoon were working hard against the trees, not only the soldiers of the infantry squad of the special service platoon carried Thomson 1928A1 submachine guns and Czech light machine guns, wielding knives and chopping, but the soldiers of the newly established special service platoon mortar squad also carried 60 mortars and artillery shells, laboriously cutting down trees, advancing in the forest, everything was close to actual combat.
"Damn, this thing is so troublesome, I want to say, just let the sapper company and those ground rats blow up with blasters, our spy platoon has set up a new mortar squad, and let the artillery squad use 60 artillery to open a way."
The squad leader of a spy platoon kicked open the branches of the cut trees and scolded in a thick Shandong accent.
The spy platoon is different, the whole platoon is veterans, most of them are northerners, this group of soldiers is the top elite of the whole regiment, usually used to cattle, and the days in the regiment headquarters are also very peaceful, but the training of this jungle warfare has broken their peaceful life, the training subjects of jungle warfare are not much complicated, but they are cumbersome, and the billing physical strength is not interesting, like cutting trees, opening up pathways, you need to use a mountain knife to cut one by one, not to mention, it is very boring, the spy platoon is in this gang of old oil, There are a few people who really don't like jungle training.
"Bomb Lao Tzu to see that you should blow up your brain, look at how many brains you have in your brain, cut down a tree to become this virtue, I didn't listen to the old man who taught us, the vines in the Burmese forest are more difficult to cut than trees, and you still use blasters to blow up the blaster on a dog day, because the Japanese found out that you were too early and opened the way with a fucking 60 gun, and the platoon has newly organized a 60 artillery squad to make your brain dizzy, you fucking use a mortar in the forest, the shell flies out along the arc and explodes to a tree within a few meters, a mortar shell hits out, the road can't be opened, but it kills your own people."
Xue Rong kicked the squad leader and scolded.
The squad leader of the spy platoon said aggrievedly: "I just complain, this grandmother learns to cut trees every day to play, and no one is tired of it." ” "I think it's very interesting, yesterday the old man taught us how to find water in the forest, clean the water, very interesting, people can be separated from food, can't do without water, the old man taught are life-saving, I have never heard of it before, I grew up herding cattle, I have never heard of the way to clean the water, and, the old man taught us how to cut trees, but it is much faster than our own hard cutting, you are tired of it, I love to learn very much."
Another spy squad leader said honestly.
Xue Rong nodded: "Look at the people, they are still old and smart, and they are about to go to Burma to fight, and now they are learning to save their lives, hehe, if you are smart, be serious, don't turn around and die in the woods, go on, and open up the way for the whole platoon" "Yes" Complaining, the body can be honest, and the squad leader, who was still complaining just now, continued to take steps and chop down the next tree. ：。
