As for Shi Shoutian, his training was mainly to train the soldiers 'speed. During training, he asked the soldiers to run back and forth up and down the mountain, with two laps per round. When the soldiers had just gotten used to it, he found Xiao Wa from somewhere and let the soldiers run on their legs. They also increased in number. After a few days, the soldiers did not even have the energy to eat. But they still persisted in training. After they had trained their speed and endurance, Shi Shoutian let them practice shooting. When they started training to run up and down the mountain, he had asked the soldiers to count the trees they passed. If anyone remembered wrongly, they would have to run again. This was how he trained his soldiers 'eyesight. It could be said that Cai Shan and Shi Shoutian had used everything they had learned in the Martial Arts Teaching Hall of the Northeast.
Shan Haitao was not idle either. He brought the other soldiers to train and explained theoretical knowledge and principles to them. Just like that, after a month, the members of the independent regiment were all in high spirits.
Bai Yihua's explanation to the platoon officers was even more detailed and thorough. He understood that in a unit, no matter if it was a company, a battalion, or a regiment, the main role was played by the grassroots officers who commanded the battle on the battlefield. If their ability was strong, then the unit would be an invincible unit. On the first day of class, Bai Yihua first talked about the influence of the environment on the outcome of the battle. He said," As a commander at the basic level, before every battle, he must have a full understanding of his battlefield in order to arrange and build a position. A good distribution of positions could not only effectively attack the enemy, but also protect themselves. Warriors could cover and support each other. The second was the configuration of firepower. Heavy weapons could not be piled up. They had to be distributed in the most favorable positions to attack the enemy. If the advantageous terrain was occupied by the soldiers with light weapons, then it would be difficult for the heavy weapons to be effective. Of course, what I said above is only the principle requirements on the battlefield. The specific implementation will depend on the specific situation. The second problem I want to talk about is the way we judge the direction of our march at night. Everyone might say that it was simple. Look at the Big Dipper in the sky. But what if we encounter rainy weather? Let me tell you, in the deep mountains and dense forests, we can casually dig up a tree and touch the bottom of the tree with our hands. The bark on the sunny side is astringent and has many cracks. The bark on the shady side is smoother. The ground is damp and usually has moss.”
As soon as Bai Yihua finished speaking, Sixth Brother stood up."I heard that Commander Bai is a university student. I didn't expect him to know so much about the situation in the mountains. Just because of this, I'm determined to follow Guild Leader.”
The next day, Bai Yihua talked about the requirements of reconnaissance in class. He said,"There are two types of reconnaissance, one with disguise and one without disguise. Regardless of which method you use, you have to use the three basic methods of looking, listening, and asking. The main purpose of reconnaissance is to determine the enemy's strength, the distribution of their positions, and the enemy's firepower. "Sometimes, even if we see it with our own eyes, hear it with our own ears, or ask it ourselves, it might be different from the actual situation, or it might be completely different. Because the Japanese are very cunning, they will often use false appearances to confuse us. To get the real situation, we still need to use our brains to analyze and compare before we can come up with the correct judgment. Before every reconnaissance, we must first determine what the main mission of the battle is. If our mission is to cover the transfer of the main force, then our strategy is to distribute all the light and heavy weapons to the key attack positions of the Japanese. They were determined to stop the Japanese from attacking. If we are surrounded by the enemy, then we have to spread out our troops to confuse the devils. At this time, we need to not disguise ourselves for reconnaissance. At this moment, our commander not only has to fight together with the soldiers, but also has to find the enemy's weak points in the battle. The process of finding is the process of reconnaissance. When we find the enemy's weak point, we must decisively attack and break through. If our mission is to attack the enemy, then we need to understand the number of Japanese soldiers and weapons. This information comes from two sources. One is that we personally went to scout and understand. The person responsible for this mission is the scout in our army. Our Independent Regiment has a recon platoon. The second was from the people who fought alongside the Japanese. Their job was the most dangerous, but their intelligence was also the most accurate. As a scout, he needed to have many qualities. First of all, he needed to have more special military skills than ordinary soldiers. Secondly, their minds had to be flexible and their thinking ability had to be strong. Thirdly, he had to have a strong and unyielding will. He couldn't be captured by the Japanese. The Japanese hadn't even been tortured yet and he had already surrendered. Did everyone understand what I said?”
A sparse voice sounded from below."Understood." From this sparse sound, Bai Yihua knew that most of them did not understand. Most of the people who answered were people who had fought with him in the northeast. Even they might not understand. He decided to practice and explain to everyone one by one so that they would understand faster.
Hence, Bai Yihua ordered Hu Zi and Sixth Brother,""I order the two of you to immediately go to the village entrance to scout. When you come back, report what you see to everyone.”The two of them stood up and left.
Not long after, Sixth Brother came back and reported,""There is only one mountain road at the village entrance. There were two big trees on both sides of the road. Under the trees were two big stones, which might be used by the villagers to rest.”
"Anything else?" Bai Yihua asked. Sixth Brother scratched his head and said,""No more."
At this time, Hu Zi returned from outside. He reported to Bai Yihua,""There is a mountain road leading to Wangzhuang Town at the village entrance. Wangzhuang Town is more than twenty miles away from here. There were two hundred-year-old trees on both sides of the road. I went up to take a look. I could see that this road was several miles away. If there were any Japanese attacking, I would be able to see them from afar. I think we can set up two sentries in the trees during the day. On both sides of the tree, there are two large rocks that are more than two meters long. We can ambush a few people behind the rocks. This way, when the devils attack, we can have two lines of defense to buy time for our assembly. Report complete."
Bai Yihua continued," After listening to their reports, everyone must have a rough idea of who has the best scouting results and who needs to be improved. Sixth Brother's scouting process was just a reflection of what he saw. These are just some superficial things. It can't be said to be useless, but at least it didn't have much of an effect. What he said only inspired our commander and left the problem to him. Hu Zi's reconnaissance report was much more detailed. He could see things with his eyes, but he also had his own thoughts. He also gave the results of his thoughts as suggestions to the commander. This saved the commander time from listening to the situation report to making a decision. Moreover, Hu Zi's considerations were all feasible. That was why Hu Zi's scouting skills were excellent. I can only give Sixth Brother a passing grade for his scouting. Did everyone understand what scouting was now?”This time, the answer was very loud."Understood."
Bai Yihua finally said," Today, I'm telling you this not to let our commanders at all levels become scouts, but to ask us as commanders to have some qualities of scouts. These qualities are very beneficial to us when we command the battle. Sometimes, it could even play a decisive role.”
In the following days, Bai Yihua imparted his years of combat experience to everyone. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month of training was over. On the day of graduation, Bai Yihua issued a certificate of graduation to all the officers who participated in the training. At this moment, someone jeered,"I've long heard that Captain Bai's marksmanship is 100% accurate. Can you show us today?”The others also agreed.
" Comrades," Bai Yihua replied," we are now in dire need of bullets. It can be said that every bullet in our hands is hard to come by. It is soaked in the blood of the sacrificed soldiers. Therefore, we can't waste every bullet. Don't worry, I'll show everyone my spear skills on the battlefield.”
