Chapter 161

The life of the cadets of the military and political school is no different from that in the quarantine camp, and the life is routine.At 5 o'clock in the morning, I got up and ran with the soldiers of the teaching camp.It's just that the teaching camp is a 5-kilometer cross-country run, and they just run ten laps around the school field.

The morning is study time, continuing what they have learned in the quarantine camp, including literacy and numeracy.Compared with the "fake kun" in Yanchang Village in the quarantine camp, now the classes are "real kun", and the children have also learned what other people call these Australian masters: "chief".

The classes for the "chiefs" are much more interesting than simple literacy and arithmetic. Someone came to teach them to look at a small shiny round plate with many Arabic numerals learned in arithmetic class, and two tick-tocks A needle that moves around with a ticking sound.According to the "chief" in class, this is called a "clock" and it is used to keep time. You can know the exact time by looking at it.Compared with things like more fragrant, more leaky, and corona, it is really convenient and accurate

"This is really a treasure. Master Huang in our hometown doesn't even have it! He is the number one gentleman in the county."

"What is your old master Huang?" The "chief" in class pouted dismissively, "Even in the imperial palace in Beijing, you can't find it."

"Won't that become a rare treasure? If this tribute is given to the emperor, the chiefs will be able to become high officials."

Xiao Zishan smiled helplessly, the words of the common people often contained their simplest understanding: good things must be enjoyed by the emperor.For thousands of years, Chinese-style dynasties have plundered the best things under their rule for free for the family to enjoy.Even as long as anything touches the edge of "tribute", it is a guarantee of quality.

"The use of clocks is to know the time more accurately." Xiao Zishan shifted the topic away from treasures. "In the past, people could only know about what is going on now by looking at the sun, or listening to the drum watch, the drum tower beating, and the noon cannon. It's time, and with a clock, you can always know what time it is and how much time it takes you to do something."

"What's the use of knowing it?" Someone asked, "I used to herd cattle for the rich man. I would go out every day. I would go out at dawn and come back before dark."

"You just need to remember how to read the time now. As for the specific use, you will naturally know later."

Xiao Zishan knew that it was difficult to explain this to the children and teenagers 400 years ago.Except for professionals who study astronomy and calendars, traditional agricultural societies seldom need precise time, and precise time control is the demand of modern science.

This stage belongs to "universal education".Compared with more complex and advanced scientific knowledge, it is more important for these newcomers to adapt to the weights and measures, time units and idioms used by the traversers as soon as possible. Only when there are no obstacles in communication can they be effectively driven.

In the afternoon, it is time for drills. Like the recruits, the most important thing for them is to conduct queue training. Because of the 40-day Mandarin teaching in the quarantine camp, they can understand the instructor's orders. Although some people still don't know left and right, but There are far fewer recruits who are pulled out and beaten because they don't understand orders.

At night, like the recruits, it is political education, repeated brainwashing, and at the same time, some additional knowledge is taught.

Compared with ordinary recruits, they have more courses except cultural classes-the recruits only take some simple literacy and arithmetic courses at night or when the weather is bad.Although Ma Qianju has high expectations for these children, he decided not to give them too much special education for the time being, let them have a good temper in the group of the teaching camp, and then see who is suitable to become the future backbone.

Tian Liang studied very hard. He was not very smart in the first place. In the quarantine camp, he was beaten many times because of his poor studies. Now his studies are even worse. In the end, he fell into the infantry department during the sub-subject examination.The three brothers of the Ruan family had outstanding academic performance and were selected into the Artillery Division.One day, a "chief" in blue clothes came. After learning that the three Ruan brothers were from a fisherman's family, they became a "navy", or something like a "naval division".

After that they were divided into classes.The Ruan family brothers are now immersed in learning the cannon's parameters and various shooting methods. Every morning, they have to push the cannon around and practice the cannon movements over and over again.The most ridiculous thing is to learn how to holster a cannon carriage. The cannon carriage and gun body of the artillery must be quickly put on the drawing horse with a special traction belt. One small cannon is enough, and the largest cannon needs 8 holsters.In order to better understand the nature of horses, those who learn artillery skills have to go to the farm to serve the horses every few days.As for the afternoon, learn to use slide rules, rulers, and measuring instruments.

Tian Liang practiced the method of carrying a wooden spear, approved rattan armor to assassinate, led the squad to change formation, dug trenches, piled up soil barriers, and built walls.

Every few days, the instructors will take everyone out to march. On the way, they will continue to train the imaginary target in various subjects. Sometimes it is a short-distance charge. Not only must they run fast, but they must also rush into the enemy's position time to assassinate the opponent.

The worst thing is the armed cross-country, where everyone trots for 15 kilometers on mountain trails or field ridges with dozens of kilograms on their backs. After arriving within the specified time, there is no room for rest. They immediately start building fortifications, and then divide into two groups to fight against each other. His subjects include shooting—with wooden guns, these guns are no longer wooden sticks with counterweight stones, but iron-filled training guns, except that they can’t shoot, and they have a barrel, a fire door, and a bayonet seat. .During the simulated shooting, the soldiers have to follow the firing steps of the front-loading rifle: bite the bullet casing of the coach bullet, load the ammunition, and put on the cap. There is no shortage of one action, and the instructor will criticize the action for not being standard.After the shooting, there will be bayonet fighting and hand-to-hand combat on both sides.The battle is not over until one side drives the other out of its position.The losing party is responsible for setting up the camp and cooking for the night.Sometimes this kind of confrontation training will become a fake show, and there will often be many wounded with bruised noses, swollen faces, and even broken heads and fractures.

At this time, the intern female nurses led by the health team will play a role, and these wounded have become their best intern specimens.Those so-called "technical school" girls have actually all become students in the nurse training class of the health team. Shi Yanren also plans to train a few qualified doctors from them. He has already selected a few particularly smart girls. Children, began to secretly teach them a strange language: Latin.

These trainee female nurses don't have any equipment and medicines. Although the standard Red Cross medical kits on their backs are imitated from the latest version 400 years later, they are basically empty.Apart from alcohol, absorbent cotton, splints, suture needles and threads, and some simple Chinese medicine preparations, there is nothing useful - all modern medicines are controlled by the doctors of the health team.Fortunately, people who can live into their teens these days are strong under Darwin's law.Physical fitness is considered good.With a little processing, it will be fine to rest for a few days.

Tian Liang saw Guo Fu during an exercise. She is now wearing the same clothes as them, but her hair has been grown. She also wears a round soft hat with a brim and a strange embroidered armband on the sleeve: A blue snake is wrapped around the stick - every "nurse" has one on the sleeve.

Tian Liang worked extremely hard in this exercise, hoping to get some minor injuries and meet Guo Fu to talk, but his incomparable bravery made his opponent go to the health team, but he was intact.I had no choice but to look at Guo Fu from a distance in annoyance.

After they had slowly adapted to this kind of training, the instructors played the trick of gathering at night, and suddenly assembled in an emergency in the middle of the night when they were sleeping soundly. Those who did not arrive at the school grounds with all the equipment within 10 minutes were all fined to run around the field. 10 laps.It’s okay if this is the case, but the most frightening thing is that sometimes there will be night training, and everyone will tie a white cloth strip to their backs, and then march one by one at night.

Ancient armies seldom engaged in night battles. First, the means of communication and communication in ancient times were backward. It was difficult to control the direction of the troops when marching at night, let alone fight. Second, the ancients rarely had such complete maps as they are now for reference. A good guide will get lost even in the daytime, let alone at night.

It is precisely because the ancient army avoided fighting at night that the traversers have to conduct such training. For the new army, which is inferior in numbers but has an advantage in training, night fighting is the best tactic to effectively offset the enemy's numerical advantage .

Night training is not just about marching and walking. They also need to learn to divide into teams for tactical maneuvers in the dark environment. They rely entirely on whistles, flutes and horns for communication and coordination, and they also use flower arrows when necessary.The Red Army and the Eighth Route Army did not have walkie-talkies back then, and they were equally at home in night battles.

Then there is the field survival class. Originally, the training outline prepared by Beiwei covered the tropical and subtropical regions like Hainan all the way to the snowy northern country. as the focus of the lecture.Slides play a great role in teaching, especially when teaching to identify various plants and animals, first use pictures as examples, and then go to the field for field inspection.Then they taught how to use the compass, how to identify the direction in the field, predict the weather, build temporary shelters, provide medical care... Finally, the soldiers were sent into the mountains in squads to live for ten days, during which they had to complete a series of tasks.Each person can bring a dagger, a catty of raw rice and some salt.In order to prevent these recruits from taking the opportunity to harm the common people during field training, Bei Wei led his special team to monitor and also trained his own troops.
