Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 586
Formal training starts on the fifth day after coming from the base.

According to PLA's general special forces training, if it is for newcomers, it will definitely be unshakable physical training at the beginning.

There are hardly any exceptions.

The reason is simple, whether it is individual military skills or team tactics, no matter which project, even in today's mechanization is very popular, physical fitness is the most basic for special forces.

There is no doubt about that.

It took a day for Tong Zhi and Li Zheng to conduct a physical examination of the entire army special operations company.

The results are gratifying.

These army soldiers have very good physical fitness, good physical coordination, and enough endurance. On the first day of the test, they ran 3 kilometers. Except for 40 people with light loads, they all completed the entire cross-country journey within 3 minutes. The remaining 42 people did not exceed [-] minutes.

Putting it inside the PLA, this is also the level of an elite front-line field force. After a little polishing, there is no problem for all to enter within 40 minutes.

Then there's explosiveness.

This item is almost nothing to say.

The sports talent of the blacks has been greatly displayed. They have long hands and long legs, and they are definitely talented players in climbing and sprinting.

At the end of the day, both Tong Zhi and Li Zheng felt that the training plan had to be changed.

I originally thought it would take at least a month to lay the foundation, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary to focus on intensive physical training for a period of time. You can directly skip to the second stage for field training, interspersed with physical fitness in the field training.

According to the general novice training program, the second step is to enter the professional study, and the first course in the professional study must be field training, and the first course in the field training must be topography.

The reason is very simple. Even though there are positioning instruments such as GPS for individual soldiers, high-tech things are not invincible, especially in some places with complex terrain, they often cannot receive signals due to various interferences.

The tasks faced by special operations are often very difficult, the environment they face is particularly harsh, and the instruments may be damaged during the mission. Therefore, the most primitive things are the most reliable. The reason why this most primitive object can still be preserved in special forces.

Don't look at Sandy and one of his subordinates as a good surprise, but when it comes to the study of topography, they also gave Li Zheng and Tong Zhi a big surprise.

Not to mention how to locate and find the magnetic azimuth, which is a relatively technical skill, but the simplest method is to measure the actual distance according to the scale, and the entire company will be blinded.

"Where's the ruler? Where's your ruler?"

Li Zheng looked at a room full of soldiers who were holding a ruler and biting their mouths but didn't know how to use this thing to measure the centimeters between two points on the map and then calculate the actual distance. His whole mind was buzzing...

"Oh!"

Johnny reacted first, put down the small ruler he was biting in his mouth, and measured it on the map.

After measuring, I began to bite the ruler again.

"Fuck!"

Li Zheng felt like he was going to go berserk.

"Brother, you are doing calculations! Calculate! Do you understand? Didn't I teach you calculation formulas in my lectures before?"

Johnny felt a little embarrassed, smiled apologetically and said, "I forgot..."

"..."

Li Zheng was speechless.

He turned around and asked Sandy: "You soldiers, what level of education do you have?"

He suddenly remembered that he and Tong Zhi were busy testing their physical fitness and various military foundations these two days, but forgot to ask about their education level.

Sandy asked Johnny: "Johnny, how many years have you been studying?"

"primary school……"

Johnny replied shyly.

Sandy suddenly put on a straight face: "Tell me the truth!"

His roar startled Johnny.

After straightening his sitting posture, Johnny confessed: "Actually... After studying for three years... I didn't go to school after that, I went out to make a living..."

Sandy sighed, and said to Li Zheng: "He only went to elementary school for three years..."

Li Zheng's face turned pale.

This Nima...

What are you doing?
"Sandy, it's my fault that I didn't pay attention to their education level before, you immediately—I mean immediately, let me investigate their education level and see how many years they have studied!"

"No problem, leave this to me." Captain Sandy immediately took out the roster, and then began to ask one by one, asking one, and recording one.

Tong Zhi came over and said to Li Zheng: "I'm tired of watching topography. You just had a lesson, and within four or 10 minutes, they forgot it."

Li Zheng said: "We can't run a cultural class for them, can we? We are here to train the military, not to run schools?"

Tong Zhi said: "Let me tell you, Li Zheng, some things need to be handled flexibly. Our time is too short, and we can't afford to waste time on every subject. I think our plan needs to be adjusted. Key subjects— —I mean the focus is on tactics and individual soldier skills, which can be put into more effort, as for the technical military skills that involve some complex points, I think they have been slightly overdone.”

Li Zheng said: "Calculating the actual distance according to the scale of the map, this is the most basic common sense***, complicated? Deputy company commander, do you believe this kind of topic can be understood by our domestic elementary school students?"

Tong Zhi laughed suddenly, so much that he couldn't play anymore.

Li Zheng was in a daze: "Deputy company commander, what are you laughing at?"

Tong Zhi finally stopped laughing and pointed at the soldiers: "The problem is... I don't think many of them have graduated from elementary school. What's more, the intensity and difficulty of elementary school here is comparable to the intensity and difficulty of elementary school in our country. Can it be compared?"

Li Zhengyi thought, it seems that this is really the case.

This issue……

Trouble.

Soon, Captain Sandy's investigation was over.

The roster, which was replenished with education level, was delivered to Li Zheng.

When Li Zheng and Tong Zhi saw it, the skin on their faces became numb.

There are 138 people in the whole company, 12 graduated from elementary school, 4 graduated from junior high school, and high school...

Sorry, no...

The rest are all people who went out to earn a living before graduating from elementary school, and then signed up to join the army when they grew up.

These men are veterans, most in their 20s.

When they were still at the age when they should be studying, country W had just experienced great turmoil, and it was the time when all industries were waiting to flourish.

So many families take making a living as the first priority, study?Reading also has to fill one's belly first, right?
Because of this, there are many children who dropped out of school back then, and the cultural quality of the entire generation is not high.

Those who can persevere are like Sandy, who at least finished high school, and later in the army because he is a "literate" soldier, so he was promoted to a military academy. At any rate, he has received certain professional training and knows how to read maps.

Asking Johnny, a soldier who has only been in a free-range primary school for three years, to do division and multiplication is indeed a bit embarrassing for them.

The two looked at each other, feeling helpless.

Tong Zhi had led countless special forces training, and he always felt that there were no bad soldiers in his own hands.

Now in country W, the army's special operations company, it was the first time that he felt that he had more energy than he wanted.

"Have it!"

His eyes suddenly brightened, with hope.

"Li Zheng, I think we don't want to be fooled, we must be more flexible."

Li Zheng asked him: "How flexible? Don't teach it anymore? If you don't teach these things, it's called fooling around. After three months, their superiors will come to see them. We will show them all the flower work on the training ground, and we will make a set of trapping punches. Do you want to grapple and fight or hit a few quick reflexes to fool them? If you don’t learn these things, they will actually meet actual combat missions in the future, and they will die every minute, so I don’t want to trap them.”

Tong Zhi said: "Your boy is smart because he is smart, but he just likes to dig into the horns. Did I say that I will not teach them topography? I mean, adopt a refined method and teach according to local conditions and people. This is the environment and environment here. National conditions, can you change it in a short time? Since we can’t change it, we have to learn to be flexible.”

Li Zheng felt that what Tong Zhi said was quite reasonable, so he nodded and asked him: "What do you think the deputy company commander is doing?"

Tong Zhi said: "Look, all our military subjects have more than one training mode. For example, this little trick of calculating the actual distance according to the scale of the map is one of the subjects of 'map recognition' in the introduction to topography. There is more than one method of distance, right? Tell me, how many have you learned?"

"The ruler method, the visual estimation method, the odometer measurement method...huh?"

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"You mean to only teach the simplest, most understandable, and least brain-intensive?"

Tong Zhi smiled: "A child can be taught, look, you have finally enlightened, right? Why bother with him? What method? It works, it works, it's easy to use. I just use an odometer to measure the number of miles. Just teach them the method, don't waste our time."

The odometer measurement method mentioned by Tong Zhi refers to the simplest and most convenient way to calculate distance by using the odometer on the compass on the topographic map.

指北针上有个里程表，它由表盘、指针及滚轮三部分组成，表盘的外分划圈上有1∶100000、1∶50000、1∶25000等比例尺注记和千米数注记。

Each number above represents the corresponding solid horizontal distance in kilometers.When measuring, first make the pointer return to 0 (that is, point the pointer at 0 on the disk), then hold the odometer, put the roller on the starting point (make the pointer clockwise), roll along the measured line segment to the end point, and the pointer corresponds to The number of kilometers indicated by the circle on the scale bar is the actual distance sought.

This calculation does not require formulas, and can be converted directly. It can be said to be a relatively intuitive and simple way.

"Okay! That's great!" Li Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help complaining to Tong Zhi: "Deputy company commander, I don't think it's difficult to teach them military affairs, but these basic knowledge classes before are really driving people crazy. "

Tong Zhi said: "There is also the place where you are crazy. Don't forget that no one in the entire company has ever been a sniper. Have you thought about how to train him ten qualified snipers in three months? Do you have a choice in mind?"

This question really stopped Li Zheng.

Another fatal problem.
