Chapter 324 Military Training Arrangements for Advanced Students
Because the North Vietnamese high-ranking officials had been wary of Hai Han's military aid measures, when the Tushan training camp was first set up, the two sides agreed that Hai Han's military advisers would only teach combat-related tactics and not interfere with the daily training and training of the new North Vietnamese army. Troop formation issues.Therefore, when Feng Annan, Mu Xiabo and others were instructors in the Tushan training camp, the training for the new North Vietnamese army was only at the tactical level, and there were no rigid regulations on military discipline and military regulations.Fortunately, North Vietnam had relatively high standards for selecting trainees. They were basically veterans with rich combat experience, and their final performance on the battlefield was quite good.This also gave North Vietnamese officers like Zheng Ting an illusion that as long as they were equipped with advanced weapons, the North Vietnamese army was actually comparable in combat effectiveness to the Haihan militia.

Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Haihan militia, the vast majority of North Vietnamese soldiers still only stay at the level of strong ships and guns, thinking that it is just a group of militiamen equipped with advanced weapons.Those who are really interesting should only be those Haihan officers who like to wear flowery and green blouses.Zheng Ting also had a similar view before this, but on the first day of advanced training at the Shengli Port Military Academy, this view seems to have exposed its limitations.The Haihan militia's requirements for military discipline and regulations are much stronger than those of the North Vietnamese army, so that even elites in the army like Zheng Ting find it difficult to adapt.

But in the face of the arrogance of this Haihan officer student, Zheng Ting still couldn't bear it, and said with a cold snort: "Whether you can fight or not, you have to know it yourself. I have never heard that you can fight on the battlefield." Defeat the enemy with lip service!"

The little officer cadet also sneered and said, "It's not easy to get started, so I'll accompany you anytime!" While talking, he had already started to unbutton his jacket.

Seeing this, the people in the barracks not only didn't come forward to persuade them, but they all made a fuss.Everyone wanted to see who was more powerful between the North Vietnamese military elite and the Shanghai Han militia officers.

Surrounded by the clamor of the crowd, the two came to the open space outside the barracks, ready to discuss their real skills.Zheng Ting still complied with the rules, clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to Annan to protect **** Zheng Ting!"

The little officer also clasped his fists back and said, "Gao Qiaonan, deputy platoon leader of the third platoon of the Independence Battalion in Xiaheitu Port!"

This proud militia officer student is Gao Qiaonan, a naturalized militia officer who made his mark in the Annan Expedition this time.Relying on his combat bravery, he won the double honors of individual third-class merit and collective second-class merit. Gao Qiaonan was also successfully promoted from sergeant to sergeant, and was promoted from the previous squad leader to deputy platoon leader.When the official staffing of the Black Soil Port Independent Battalion is completed, Gao Qiaonan will almost finish his studies. At that time, there is great hope that he will be promoted from deputy to full-time platoon leader, and such a promotion speed is definitely considered outstanding among the militias.

Just when some militiamen were still a little trembling even when they fired at the enemy, Gao Qiaonan was able to kill several people in a row without showing any signs of panic.Compared with other comrades in the militia who have joined the army for less than a year, Takahashi Minami has a great personal advantage, that is, he was born as a samurai earlier, and his personal martial arts and fighting experience are much better than ordinary militiamen who were born as civilians , This is also one of the important reasons why he was able to directly kill more than 20 enemies in the Annan Campaign and was favored by his superiors.

In the current establishment of the Haihan militia, because the source of troops is mainly local ordinary people, there are not many people who bring art into the army, and personnel with paramilitary qualifications like Gao Qiaonan are even rarer, so among the militia also appear particularly prominent.And after Gao Qiaonan went to Heitu Port with Qian Tiandun, he also learned some actual combat techniques used in the army of later generations from his superiors, and his personal combat power was even better than before.And this improvement in personal strength also made Gao Qiaonan's worship of Haihan's military power more unwavering, and it can even be said to be a bit fanatical.

For these foreign advanced students in the military academy, Gao Qiaonan has a sense of superiority from the bottom of his heart. After all, it is orthodox to be born in the Haihan militia, and these students from other places are just students who study art from teachers.So when he heard Zheng Ting complaining that the Haihan military regulations were too strict, he couldn't help but refute this North Vietnamese officer who was watching the sky from a well.But the other party is obviously not so easy to be persuaded, so Gao Qiaonan adhered to the military camp rule of "If you can fight, don't quarrel", and took the initiative to propose a method to determine the superiority in actual combat.

Although the participants and onlookers were enthusiastic, the process of this discussion was lacklustre.Zheng Ting's performance in personal combat power is far less cold than he is usually. After all, he was trained as a commander from the beginning of his enlistment, rather than a soldier who directly participated in the fight.Fighting against an experienced opponent like Takahashi Minami revealed the gap in personal ability.

Gao Qiaonan directly used the grappling technique taught to him by Qian Tiandun, grabbed Zheng Ting's arm joints in two or three encounters, twisted his right arm backwards, and pressed it heavily to the ground.The whole set of movements was familiar, and Zheng Ting was controlled by Gao Qiaonan without even finding a space to struggle.

"It's a good move!" At some point, Gu Wei, the director of the training camp, also appeared here.As soon as he praised, the scene immediately became quiet.

As soon as Gao Qiaonan heard the voice, he jumped up from Zheng Ting's body and stood up straight. At first glance, it seemed to have nothing to do with the scene just now.

Zheng Ting didn't babble, he just spit out the sand in his mouth lightly after getting up, and stared at Gao Qiaonan bitterly.

"At this time, there are still mental fights. It seems that the training plan I made for you is still a little too easy. This is my fault. I will definitely increase the amount of training tomorrow to make everyone satisfied." Gu Wei finished speaking After looking around at the crowd, seeing that no one dared to speak up to refute, he walked up to the two of them and said, "Since you two are in such good spirits, you will be on duty in the first half of the night today! Now run to the gate of the battalion to change the guard! Others Go back to the barracks immediately and sleep!"

The two unlucky ghosts looked at each other, and then immediately turned their heads away.Although they didn't like it in their hearts, but the military order was like a mountain, the two had no choice but to obey the order and change the guard.Gu Wei went back to the battalion headquarters after making a round of inspection. Seeing that these two guys were already standing outside the camp headquarters, he shook his head and entered the camp headquarters.

After the reorganization at the annual meeting, the office of the Military Commission directly inherited the former Military and Police Department, and it was still in Fort Victory.However, the battalion headquarters of the Victory Port Independent Battalion is located in the military barracks on the east coast of the harbor. Most of the Haihan officers, including Yan Chujie, still have a lot of time to deal with military affairs here.Especially when the military personnel have some secret plans, it is far safer to hold a meeting at the battalion headquarters than at the Military Commission office where personnel come and go from Fort Victory.

"Thank you, is everything alright?" Yan Chujie, who was leaning over to look at the map when he noticed Gu Wei coming in, asked, looking up.

"These bastards are not honest at all!" Gu Wei shook his head and sighed: "Just when we went out to inspect, we caught two fighting people, Zheng Ting sent by North Vietnam, and Gao Qiaonan from Heitu Port, I don't know why. Get up. I asked them to stand guard at the gate of the camp, and calm down!"

"That Zheng Ting wants to fight Gao Qiaonan one-on-one, so he should suffer a little loss." Wang Tom took over the conversation next to him: "When I was in Annan, I saw Gao Qiaonan's performance with my own eyes. It's like cutting melons and vegetables. If it's a one-on-one with a knife, few of us are really capable of doing him. This guy is short, but he still has some skills. It's no wonder Qian Tiandun thinks highly of him. "

"Zheng Ting can't beat him without using a knife. When I went there, I saw Zheng Ting being pinned down by Gao Qiaonan and couldn't move. It seems that the technique should be a grappling technique. This guy Qian Tiandun is really willing to teach everything. !" Gu Wei grabbed the teacup on the table and took a big gulp, wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "But it's also good, educate these Vietnamese people, so that they don't think our Haihan militia is just a fake!"

"Whether they look good or not, they will know if they stay here for a few more days." Yan Chujie understood what Gu Wei was referring to, and responded with a smile: "But don't train too hard, our own soldiers have already Already adapted, these new rookies may not be able to support our training methods."

Compared with the army of the same era, in addition to being more scientific and efficient in training methods, the Haihan Militia also has a major feature of greater exercise volume. Repeated intensive training is used to consolidate soldiers' tactical movements, so that they can integrate daily training content It also plays out smoothly on the battlefield.This kind of training is very simple to say, and the reason is also simple, but it is difficult for colleagues in this era to complete.The reason is also very simple. To put it bluntly, it is just a word of money.

To increase the amount of training in the army, the soldiers must have enough daily calorie intake. Otherwise, training with a large amount of exercise will cause great damage to the soldiers' bodies.Improving food for soldiers is tantamount to increasing military investment, and it is impossible to complete such training if this expense is not resolved.Taking Daming as an example, although there are millions of troops, except for the elite troops like the frontier army, the Beijing army, and the bodyguard army in some areas, most of the guard troops are lax in training.By the end of the Ming Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, those who could do one exercise every five days or one exercise every ten days would basically be regarded as elites.In fact, it is conceivable what quality soldiers can be trained with such a training frequency.

From the beginning of the planning and formation of the armed forces, the Executive Committee decided to take the route of elite soldiers.Compared with their contemporaries, the militia's military investment is extremely generous. The cost of raising a militia soldier is about five times that of ordinary soldiers in Yazhou Shuizhai, and this does not include personal equipment and weapons. .If the several warships under construction are included, then the military expenditure invested by the Haihan Militia in the past year after its establishment has basically exceeded the total military expenditure of Daming's garrison on Qiongzhou Island, but the difference in the size of the two sides' troops is ten times greater.

Sufficient military expenditures not only equip the Haihan militia with the most advanced weapons on earth in this era, but also the nutritional level of the soldiers can be regarded as the best treatment for the army of the time. Calculated by professionals.Apart from Shengli Harbor Elementary School and Boy Scouts Training Camp, there is no place in the naturalized civilian unit that can compare with the Haihan militia station.As long as they are militia soldiers who have been in the army for more than half a year, their physical fitness will be significantly better than that of ordinary naturalized locals.

Good food conditions have improved the physical fitness of the militiamen, and only when their physical fitness reaches a certain level can they undertake the daily training intensity of the Haihan militia.It is precisely after such long-term and frequent training that the hands accustomed to holding hoes and fishing nets can firmly grasp the barrel of the gun, and the Haihan militia will have a combat effectiveness that surpasses that of contemporary troops.However, the intensity of training received by foreign students in the past is far from being able to compare with the real training level of the Haihan Militia. Therefore, after coming here to participate in the refresher class, it is very likely that they will not adapt to it.

The military is not afraid that these methods of military training will pose a threat to the time-traveling group in the future after being learned by foreign students, because these methods are not profound, and anyone who has trained in the army can understand them, but limited to objective conditions, there is nothing wrong with them. People can put it into practical operation.The cost of the elite soldier route is so great that the traditional agricultural society can't even afford it. If you want to promote this method of military training outside the control area of ​​​​the crossing group, it will be difficult to achieve similar results as the Haihan Militia.For example, a regime with the power of a country like North Vietnam, if it wants to completely copy the way of forming an army of the Haihan Militia and achieve the same combat effectiveness, it will not be able to support more than [-] people-this is the military and business , agriculture, civil affairs and other departments after a comprehensive discussion of the results obtained.

Of course, this result still assumes that North Vietnam can always get the full support of the crossing group. If at some point the crossing group cuts off its support for North Vietnam out of certain interests, then the combat effectiveness that the so-called new army of North Vietnam can maintain It will go straight down.Even if North Vietnam has a surprisingly large-scale new army, it cannot pose a real military threat to the crossing group.

As for the other two temporary allies, there will be differences in the strength of Haihan's military support.For the battle situation in Fujian, the military does not intend to directly intervene at present, so it will still focus on providing weapons. As for military training, the support Xu Xinsu Group can get from Shengli Harbor may not be as good as that of Li Jiamin Group for a period of time .

After co-founding the "Golden Shield Security" organization with "Furuifeng", the Li Jiamin regiment also gradually shifted its role from local regiment training and became a private armed organization similar to the bodyguard team.Of course, in order to obtain official recognition, the armed level of the Li family militia has not been publicized to the outside world. Although many people already know that this militia is equipped with a large number of muskets, the local government that has already received the benefits obviously has no plans. Mind your own business.

The formation and establishment of "Golden Shield Security" came from the executive committee's strategy concept for the mainland area. To put it bluntly, it was a pawn in the early layout.As a joint venture of "Haihan Bank" and Haihan Office in Guangzhou, the business volume of "Golden Shield Security" is basically nothing to worry about. Therefore, after the establishment of the organization, the Li Family Civilian Corps immediately expanded as an escort force, and the original The scale of more than a hundred people has more than doubled rapidly, and capable personnel have been selected to study in Shengli Port.

The military advisors and weapons installed by the Li Family Militia are basically from Haihan's side, so the military also has a great willingness to make it a usable armed force for Haihan in the mainland.Even if it cannot reach the strength of the Haihan Militia, at least it must be trained to the level of a reserve militia, and when necessary, it can cooperate with the Guangzhou Office or the Haihan Militia to perform military tasks.

Compared with the other two allies, the Li family obviously gained the highest degree of trust, which of course is also inseparable from the deep interest entanglement between them and the time-traveling group.In the entire Guangzhou area, the first person that comes to mind when mentioning Haihan is the Li family of "Furuifeng". Now the two parties have gradually changed from the initial trade cooperation to good friends who wear the same pair of pants.For the various measures carried out by the Traveling Group in the mainland, whether it is business or military, the Li family's cooperation is getting higher and higher. In a sense, the Li family is already a partner of the Traveling Group's mainland strategy. Rather than just staying at the level of trade.

However, as the chief instructor of the military training camp of the Haihan Militia, Gu Wei does not have as thorough a understanding of the interests involved as Yan Chujie. For him, the students who are further training must be treated equally. If they fail to meet the training requirements, they can leave early. up.Therefore, Gu Wei did not respond positively to Yan Chujie's statement, but took the initiative to change the topic: "The two of you squatted in the room and discussed all night, did you come up with a charter?"

Tom Wang and Yan Chujie looked at each other and shook their heads slowly.

Wang Tom said: "The main reason is that there are too many uncertain risks. There are too many places for the executive committee to criticize in terms of supplies, defense, and staffing."

"If you come up with a proposal that is not perfect, the possibility of being shot by the executive committee is at least [-]%." Yan Chujie analyzed calmly: "What's more, this project basically only enters and exits, and there is no direct bonus to speak of. Instead, I have to keep spending money to fill it out, and if I were the executive committee member, it would be difficult to convince myself to pass such a proposal.”

The "proposal" mentioned by Wang Tom and Yan Chujie is also a military action plan that was recently re-proposed, that is, to establish a maritime stronghold at the Pearl River Estuary by means of garrisoning troops to ensure the safety of key nodes in the waterway from Guangzhou to Shengli Port. It also lays a foundation for the next step to control the waters of the Pearl River Estuary.In fact, this plan was proposed by Xiao Liang and Yu Yao, the second batch of military personnel stationed in Guangzhou Office half a year ago, but it was not brought to the Executive Committee for discussion at all, and it was directly rejected within the Military and Police Department. Lost.This is not because the plan has no practical value, but because of the strength of the Traversing Group at the time, it was too difficult to realize the plan, and the military executives rationally did not submit the plan to the executive committee to avoid A needless slap in the face.
