Chapter 41 Chen Ting's Teaching Time

"Bang bang."

Chen Ting knocked on the bed frame twice with his finger joints, making a dull and heavy sound:
"Everyone, get up and fold your quilts. Have you folded your quilts? Just sleep here!"

"When I come back, if I see your quilts are still a mess, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

After hearing Chen Ting's words, most of the recruits immediately woke up from their sleepy state.

This is in the army, not at home.
Recalling yesterday's lesson, the new recruits struggled to sit up from their beds one after another, with pain written all over their faces.

Especially their arms and leg muscles, the pain was so severe that it was hard to describe in words.

It’s all because of the intense training yesterday.

Although the intensity was not high, they hadn't exercised for a long time, so it was normal for them to have back pain today.

"gone."

Seeing that all the new recruits in the class had stood up, Chen Ting turned around and shouted to Lu Qinglong, asking him to take the two simulated guns under his bed.

"Okay monitor."

Lu Qinglong responded, took out two simulated guns from under the bed, and followed Chen Ting out of the classroom.

"Ah? What is Qinglong doing with the squad leader?"

Ji Baichang was woken up and was still a little confused. He asked Xue Daochao who was sleeping on the lower bunk next to him.

"I don't know. Maybe the squad leader gave him some extra training."

"Huh? That's so miserable. We just need to fold the quilts, but he needs to practice more."

Ji Baichang yawned and slowly folded his quilt on the bed.

Xue Daochao next door started talking to himself:
"Is this miserable? I also want to be a special forces soldier. Why don't I wait for the squad leader to come back and ask him if he can add me to the training tomorrow morning."

"Squad leader, where are we?"

Lu Qinglong followed Chen Ting all the way to yesterday's playground and stopped only when they came to a grove of trees with many obstacles.

"Teach you something and give me a gun."

Chen Ting took the Type 95 model gun handed over by Lu Qinglong, and simply switched between his left and right hands. A basic standing shooting posture was already set up.

(Figure 1)

"You know both the standing and crouching shooting positions, right?"

"Squad leader, my brother taught me this when he came back from vacation."

Lu Qinglong nodded and picked up the Type 95 model gun in his hand according to the method his brother taught him.

Although he was very strong, and even the Type 95 model gun looked very slender in his hands, his standing shooting movements were still very standard.

"Ah."

"The positions of the hands, the butt of the rifle against the shoulder and the distribution of sight are all done very well."

"Your brother taught you well. Have you ever fired live ammunition?"

Chen Ting asked casually.

It seems that Lu Qinglong's control of firearms is beyond his expectations.

"Squad leader, I have beaten him."

"The armed forces would conduct ammunition disposal twice a year, and every time they would ask me to go shooting, and I would shoot about 300 rounds each time."

"But I only fight with the Type 81. I have never fought with the Type 95."

Lu Qinglong said truthfully.

"Okay, then for close-range shooting indoors, do you know how to hold the gun in a C-clamp position?" "Ah? Squad leader, what kind of shooting method is that?"

Lu Qinglong scratched his head, not quite understanding what Chen Ting said which was quite professional.

"It's the position where the fingers and palm of your left hand are put together to form the shape of the letter C, half covering the front guard of the gun."

"You can watch the demonstration I give you."

As squad leader Chen Ting spoke, he raised his left hand slightly, making his left arm a 90-degree angle, with his forearm resting horizontally on one side of the model gun.

(Figure 2)

"Do you understand? This shooting method is mostly used in close-range combat scenarios indoors."

“It can often be used when there is a wall on the left side to lean on.”

"But this shooting method also has a disadvantage, it affects your vision in the lower left corner of your sight."

"So it's limited to CQB, which means indoor close-range combat. If we were in a jungle or woods, we would still use the first standing shooting method. Do you understand?"

Chen Ting’s explanation was very detailed and he also provided step-by-step demonstrations.

Lu Qinglong was not stupid either. He basically understood what Chen Ting taught him immediately. He raised his left hand and made the same shooting posture as Chen Ting.

"You can't chew too much. We still have a lot of time. I'm going to teach you this move today. You should keep this posture first."

Chen Ting helped Lu Qinglong to make some adjustments.

After ensuring the movements were correct, he continued to teach Lu Qinglong some basic combat awareness:
"From ancient times to the present, do you know how many categories wars are divided into?"

Chen Ting's words stunned Lu Qinglong. While maintaining the side-grip shooting posture, he replied:
"Squad leader, I don't seem to understand this very well."

"Well, it's normal that you don't understand. I will now instill in you a basic concept."

"All wars can be divided into three categories: offensive wars, defensive wars, and strategic wars."

"Sneak attacks, surprise attacks, information warfare, etc., all of these are classified as strategic warfare."

"I don't need to explain the terms offensive warfare and defensive warfare. You should understand them. I will focus on talking about strategic warfare."

Lu Qinglong nodded thoughtfully.

"Before you want to engage in any strategic battle, you must have an advantage over the other party."

"Perhaps you don't quite understand what I'm saying, but let me explain it in a simple way. If you want to carry out a raid, you must at least understand the most basic information such as the enemy's firepower deployment and the number of personnel."

"If you don't even know the other party's basic situation, then you can't carry out these tasks."

"It's the same as CQB indoor close-quarters combat. Only when you know the deployment of the other side's personnel can you make combat plans and deploy personnel."

"When you become an officer and can command battles, you must fight unequal battles."

"Use your advantages to crush the opponent's weaknesses. Do you understand this? Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, right?"

"Everything you do is for the purpose of winning!"

Chen Ting seemed to realize that he had said too much, so he simply stopped talking and left the rest of the time for Lu Qinglong to digest the story on his own.

"Squad leader! I can understand most of what you said. I feel like it will take me a long time to digest it."

Some enlightenment gradually appeared in Lu Qinglong's eyes.

As expected of an old special forces soldier who has served in the special operations brigade for sixteen years, just a few words would take him a long time to digest.

He listened very carefully. If he wasn't practicing gun-holding posture, he would have wanted to find a notebook to write down everything Chen Ting said.

　Do you think this paragraph is dry? I will try to analyze it in understandable sentences. Later I will write about military topography and other subjects, which may be even drier. But I promise that if you can read it, you should have no problem reading a military map in the future.
