Chapter 157 Training

Due to resource and manpower issues, there are only so many cannons that the army can operate at the same time. The 12-pound mountain pomegranate can continue to consider making more for defense.It shot shotguns better than the rifles in the hands of poorly trained recruits.The power is considerable, the rate of fire is high, and it is not too heavy (the gun weighs no more than 250GK).A donkey or 3-4 people can drag and run.The defensive positions placed on the camp and the Wenlan River are just right.

The new army lined up outside Bairen City.

Ma Qianju stood in front of them in his 87-style training uniform.He raised his chest and looked proud, trying to make himself look like a soldier in a movie.

These former Ming people, now for money and rations, have devoted themselves to this armed force that no one can tell where they came from. They have no guilt of betraying the imperial court as "bright traitors", and they don't see any intention of turning up for revolution. Passion, truly embodies the glorious tradition of "soldiers eat food" in the traditional Chinese army.

There are more than 600 clean-shaven heads, and they seem a little out of tune with each other.The new military uniform has not yet been made, and they are wearing cotton training uniforms hand-sewn by the women of Bairen Commune.Naturally, it seems that there is no sense of might.Except for a 10-man team used for demonstration, which was equipped with standard muskets, everyone else was replaced by wooden sticks and stones of the same weight.

There is no way, the logistics are all complaining, the pattern of the military uniform has not been made, and the equipment is even worse.The military industry department has produced a lot of guns, but the calibration of guns is very slow.Paper-wrapped fixed-load ammunition also requires manpower-at least a month will not see a new army that is 100% firearmed in the nineteenth century.It stands to reason that Xi Yazhou, as the future battalion commander of the New Army Teaching Battalion, should personally preside over the training, but he fell ill again and rested, and he probably lay down on the farm to recuperate. Compared with the Navy's Fengcheng Hotel, the Army chose Nanhai Farm As a place of corruption, the environment here is good, the food is sufficient, and there are often some good things that are not served in the cafeteria to try--most of the military team is now either on guard at the duty point or going around to check the fortification of the migrant workers. Ju had no choice but to convene the New Army Teaching Battalion as acting chief of staff and started training.

This is more or less related to the differences at the last army building meeting.On the organization and personnel arrangement of the new army, the executive committee and the military group had the first major disagreement.The Executive Committee hoped that a civil servant would be appointed as the chief of staff so that the Executive Committee could strengthen its control over the military forces—if it was difficult for the indigenous soldiers to trust them temporarily, the soldiers of the traversers might not be able to trust them forever.The military group hopes to be served by He Ming or Xi Yazhou.One of the two is the oldest, and the other is the core figure of the military group.Of course, these two people consciously declined the nomination-it is not an easy job to be a coordinator between the young faction of the executive committee and the military committee.

The young and strong faction lacked the support of the heavyweights of the Military Commission and lost in the competition for the chief of the general staff.In the end, it was decided that Ma Qianju, chairman of the planning committee, would serve as the acting chief of staff. The establishment of the new army was a waste of time, and everything needed to be coordinated by various departments. It was more convenient for the planning committee to act as the acting chief.This is acceptable to both parties.

Ma Qianju didn't know much about the army in the 19th century, nor did he know how the queuing and shooting party trained the army.But at least he knows: no matter what era the elite army has, there are always some characteristics that remain unchanged-disciplined soldiers are the enemy's nightmare.Before starting the training of the hot weapon unit, the physical fitness, queue and discipline training may last for a month.For these Daming citizens who were just eating and waiting to die a few days ago, his only authority is a "head".All of Ma Qianju's military experience is the three-month military training in college.

Fortunately, the military team still left him a few veterans as instructors, and transferred some militiamen from Yanchang Village—their queue training was completed under the personal training of Bei Wei and others, which is currently the highest level.

There is no trick to physical training, but the magical method of cross-country exercise: cross-country running.However, several veterans expressed their gratitude and said that this glorious task will be entrusted to you, Chief of Staff Ma.

Ma Qianju knew that he, the chief of the general staff, was not convincing, and the soldiers deliberately wanted to see his jokes.

If you have the conditions, you have to do it, if you don’t have the conditions, you have to do it! Mao Zedong's words reverberated in Ma Qianzhu's mind. In order to ensure the Party's absolute leadership over the army, no, the Executive Committee's absolute leadership over the army, he must persevere and show this group of people—intellectuals are not easy to mess with.

With such lofty ambitions, Ma Qianju proudly picked up his empty musket, put on his back a rucksack that was claimed to be full of ammunition but was actually only stones, and announced: all keep in formation, bring weapons, and go to the logistics department to get a pair of straw sandals , off-road [-] kilometers!

The [-] kilometers off-road is one-way, in other words, you have to come back by yourself, but there is no speed limit.After a month, everyone had to run back as a team.He firmly believed that for a nascent army, an orderly flight was more important than an orderly attack.Of course, a large amount of exercise requires sufficient physical strength.Ma Qianju took advantage of being the head of the Planning Commission and asked the agricultural department to provide more dried meat and salted fish to supply the new army, enough food.

Three days later, Ma Qianju's foot was worn out, and he realized that if he ran in socks again, he would soon run out of socks, so he quickly changed to a foot wrap—he only hoped Cocoons grow quickly.

During the break, he ordered everyone to lie down in a row, and he lay at the head of the line.

Many people wondered why the rest was so neat, but reluctantly obeyed the order.

Former armor commander Bai Yu came over:

"Committee Ma, are you really going to do this?"

"Let's go!" Ma Qian looked at the tragic expression of a revolutionary martyr going to the execution ground.

"This, I have to explain, I have been out of the army for a long time—"

"I trust you." Ma Qianzhu closed his eyes, lying down and being beaten, like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"Actually, Commissioner Ma, you don't need to do this. Our PLA has never done this, and the soldiers of the United States don't have this kind of work."

"You talk too much, I'm the chief of staff, obey orders!" Ma Qianzhu had an extremely determined expression on his face.

"Alright, I'm afraid of you." Bai Yu shrugged.Thinking about what this is, no wonder people say that intellectuals have a lot of twists and turns, and they like to dig through books.

"I can declare, don't blame me if something goes wrong." Bai Yu said, climbed onto the tractor, started it, and drove towards the crowd.No, it's not to rape people.It was just a little short, sticking to everyone's head, carefully hanging to block it.

The momentum of the roaring steel monster creaking and running over the ground immediately made the people lying on the ground commotion.Someone ran away rolling and crawling.

"Lie down!" He ordered loudly, "No one is allowed to move."

Although he yelled loudly, the vibration of the creaking crawler tracks that fell directly on his head was not far from his head was scary enough.Sweating all over - Ma Qianzhu himself was not absolutely relieved of Bai Yu, but he had to fight when things came to an end.How can I control this group of people if I can't show my courage?

When the shadow of the tractor turned back to the garage, he immediately ordered the people who got up illegally to get out.They need to stand in the sun for an extra hour, and they have to carry their own muskets and carry all their equipment.Looking into their eyes, he was glad he hadn't started shooting training yet.

Ma Qianju's tractor training method spread everywhere in a few hours. Someone unceremoniously nicknamed him Ma Dangwei. ***** training method?He kept saying "you let me down too much".According to Ding Ding's newspaper report, Ms. Du Wen shed tears on the spot... Ma Qianju woke up the next day and found that she had become a lace figure in the tabloids.

Whether it is lace or not, Ma Qianju, who has already reached the point of no return, has no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.Fortunately, the veterans are still responsible for the specific training such as formation, design, military language, and bombing. Otherwise, it is really difficult to rely on a "Military Training Manual".

In the first few days of military training, it was the same as Ma Qianju's college military training in the past, with squads as units of queue training.Although the direction of troop training reached by the military group is based on the 19th century company-battalion-level column and horizontal corps-based tactical model, they have no experience and no information on how European armies were trained in the 19th century.Therefore, the basic queue training is still carried out in accordance with the PLA's code of practice.

Thanks to the experience of queue training in Yanchang Village and the on-site demonstration of soldiers from Yanchang Village, the training was easier than expected.Ma Qianju insisted that during the training, everyone shouted passwords in Mandarin, instead of having an interpreter.

"The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also commanded in Mandarin, so it doesn't mean that Sichuan soldiers have to command in Sichuan dialect when they come."

The instructors naturally use sticks to let the recruits understand the essence of Mandarin as soon as possible, and the coaching field is full of roars every day.These peasants who came to join the army due to their livelihoods were woken up by loudspeakers at 5 o'clock in the morning and rushed to the training ground.The deputy "chiefs" in charge of training are all vicious, holding sticks.No one could understand what they said, but he insisted that people understand him.Whoever fails to respond to his password or responds incorrectly will be caned.Gradually, these people who had never understood what left and right understood the meaning of the password.They were then forced to learn to walk in rows of nine.How high should the foot be raised for each step, how long should the stride be, how should the arm be swung...how awkward and awkward it is to walk like this.The officers and soldiers have also seen it before: except for the practice meeting in the school field, they have lined up and circled, and they have never seen this kind of trouble.
