Chapter 3 Recruit Training
Chapter 3 Recruit Training
On the newly renovated training ground, the new recruits, dressed in military uniforms and having undergone simple drills, stood in formation, but still exuded a powerful presence.
"From today onwards, you are all proud militia soldiers," Tang Weiguo said as he began his speech from the stage. It was Tang Weiguo's first time speaking in front of so many people, and he was a little nervous. But the thought of being their superior immediately gave him confidence.
"As a soldier, I now have only three requests for you."
"The first requirement is to obey orders."
"The second requirement is still to obey orders."
"The third requirement is still to obey orders."
"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders."
"Does everyone understand?"
"Understood, Commander. We will obey your orders without question," Tang Xiaohu shouted.
"We will resolutely obey the commander's orders!" More than three hundred people shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the sky.
"Good, I am very pleased to see everyone's determination. In order to help you train better, I have specially invited an elite company commander who retired from the Jin-Sui Army to be your training supervisor. Please welcome Instructor Zhang."
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Zhang Zhu stood up and gave everyone a standard military salute.
"Thank you, Commander Tang, for your trust in me, and thank you, brothers, for your support. I would like to make a commitment here in front of everyone that I will train you all diligently and strive to make you all qualified soldiers as soon as possible."
"Good." Tang Weiguo led the applause. Then came another round of applause.
"The organization of the militia forces is now announced."
"The militia now has two recruit companies under its command. Each recruit company has three platoons, each platoon has three squads, and each squad has 12 people."
"In addition to setting up a new recruit company, the militia also set up an artillery platoon, a logistics platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, a guard platoon, and a communications platoon."
"Tang Xiaohu".
"To!"
"You are hereby appointed as the company commander of the 1st Company."
"Tang Dazhuang".
"arrive."
"You are hereby appointed as the company commander of the 2nd Company."
.....
After the announcement was completed, Tang Weiguo continued his speech.
"The appointments for company and platoon leaders have been completed. I hope that you officers can do better and be more outstanding than the soldiers. You should take the lead, motivate those who are behind, and ultimately achieve common progress."
"So, I'm telling you this upfront: if officers at all levels can't do this, don't blame me for being ruthless and dismissing them from their posts. Do you understand?" Tang Weiguo's demeanor improved as he spoke, and he became more and more passionate.
"Understood!" Tang Xiaohu and his officers shouted loudly.
"Good, morale is high."
"I hereby declare that basic training for new recruits has now officially begun," Tang Weiguo announced loudly.
The originally assembled teams, led by their company and platoon leaders, went to their respective training areas to conduct training.
A few days later.
Tang Weiguo looked at the training ground and saw that the new recruits were training at a slow pace, and even their formations were not neat. He was not very satisfied, as the army of later generations was far inferior to them. So he called Zhang Zhu over and asked him a question.
"Coach Zhang, when will it take for these new recruits to reach combat readiness?"
"At this rate, it will take six months, and for artillery, it will take almost a year," Zhang Zhu replied.
"How can this take so long? My requirement is to achieve combat readiness in three months, and artillery in six months," Tang Weiguo said anxiously.
"Commander Tang, I really can't do that," Zhang Zhu said with a wronged expression, realizing that the coaching fee wasn't something he could easily obtain.
"Damn it, I was careless. How can the training methods of the Jin-Sui Army work? If you want to see something better, you have to look to the People's Liberation Army, the strongest army on Earth in the future," Tang Weiguo exclaimed in his heart.
"Coach Zhang, wait here and don't move. I'll be right back." Tang Weiguo hurriedly ran back, leaving Zhang Zhu alone in the wind, looking bewildered.
"Commander, what's going on?"
Tang Weiguo rushed home and, based on his memories from the future, rewrote the training manual. After spending most of the day, Tang Weiguo finally finished the manual.
He then ran to the training ground and called Zhang Zhu over.
"Coach Zhang, how about you follow this training manual?" Tang Weiguo handed the document to Zhang Zhu.
"Commander, let me take a look first." Zhang Zhu got completely absorbed in it, slapping his thigh hard as he looked, muttering to himself, "This is so damn exciting."
"Commander, where did this manual come from? You didn't come up with it yourself, did you? You're a real genius, Commander. With this training method, I, Zhang Zhu, guarantee you that you'll be combat-ready in three months."
"But there's one thing: this training intensity must ensure the soldiers have enough food and sufficient training ammunition." Zhang Zhu keenly noticed the problem after reading it.
"No problem, the food is plentiful, and the ammunition is plentiful," Tang Weiguo said. Tang Weiguo had already asked the old steward to buy food, and now there was plenty to eat. As for consumables such as bullets, Tang Weiguo was preparing to replenish the ammunition in the past few days.
"With the commander's words, I, Zhang Zhu, will show you my resolve. If I can't train to this level in three months, I'll offer my head in resignation." Zhang Zhu's soldierly spirit erupted at this moment.
"it is good."
Since the new training manual was introduced, the soldiers' training speed has been increasing steadily, improving every day. Of course, the cost is a large consumption of food and ammunition, which makes the old logistics manager feel distressed.
Seeing the soldiers making rapid progress, Tang Weiguo felt a strong urge to join in as well, and he also participated in the recruit training.
"I'm so damn tired." Tang Weiguo dragged his exhausted body back to his room after a day of training and turned to sleep.
From then on, Tang Weiguo persisted, believing that training was essential for survival in war.
Since Tang Weiguo joined the training, the new recruits' enthusiasm for training has been ignited even more.
If the battalion commander is training so hard, why shouldn't you train?
The soldiers' training progressed far faster than Zhang Zhu had imagined.
Zhang Zhu had no choice but to constantly improve training methods to keep up with the soldiers' progress.
After three months of training, Tang Weiguo and his militia soldiers were in a completely new mood, displaying the aura of a strong army.
...
"Have all the company and platoon leaders arrived?" Tang Weiguo asked.
"Everyone has arrived, Commander," Tang Xiaohu replied.
"I have something to announce now. I'm going to form a reconnaissance platoon, and I will personally serve as the platoon leader. It will consist of four squads: two combat squads, one sniper squad, and one mortar squad," Tang Weiguo announced.
Tang Weiguo had the idea of forming a reconnaissance platoon a long time ago. Now that the recruits have been training for three months, the training results of each person can be seen, making it easier for Tang Weiguo to select the best soldiers.
"Because the reconnaissance platoon has to carry out various reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines, the soldiers in the reconnaissance platoon are composed of the best soldiers in this training to ensure the platoon's survival capability behind enemy lines."
"If our regiment expands in the future, elite soldiers will still be given priority to join the reconnaissance platoon."
"Commander, this is a good suggestion." Zhao Zhu also agreed.
On the battlefield, in addition to manpower and equipment, one must also have a good grasp of battlefield intelligence.
