"Run, run, keep up. You can't even run. In the future, when you go to the battlefield, you won't be able to outrun others even if you run. Which company can run five kilometers in an hour?”
Looking at the running team, Zhou Heng kept encouraging them. He also ran. The five-kilometer cross-country was a basic subject for the military in the future, but it was not so easy for the current military.
Although the army that fought the Japanese in the TV series charged at them, in actual history, there were very few troops that could charge three to four hundred meters at high speed. The reason was very simple. A large number of soldiers were malnourished. Charging three to four hundred meters would kill them.
The requirement of the army in the future was twenty-three minutes for five kilometers of light cross-country travel. Zhou Heng had more than doubled the time. These defeated soldiers had just recovered and needed to slowly recover. They would train like this for a month before asking for speed.
Dressed in brand new military uniforms, the 2000-strong army ran along the main road beside Chanda City. It instantly became a western scene. The commoners who had woken up early to work all ran over to take a look. As they watched, they pointed and gossiped. No one knew what they were talking about.
Running along Chan Da City was specially arranged by Zhou Heng. He wanted to show the elegance of this army in front of these commoners and let them see a completely different army. At the same time, he wanted them to see the growth of this army. In the future, they would trust this army and support this army. This was very important.
Along the way, Zhou Heng would go back and help the soldiers who were left behind to catch up with the troops. At the same time, Chen Degong, the vet, and a few assistants followed behind, ready to rescue the soldiers who vomited or fainted.
On their first run, their results were not ideal. Less than 40% of them could finish five kilometers in an hour. Many companies abandoned their weak soldiers and ran back by themselves. Zhou Heng scolded them and told them that their results were canceled. No matter what, they could not abandon their comrades.
Moreover, these guys would find a place to lie down after running. Zhou Heng had no choice but to scold them as he chased them up, lest they lay on the ground and never get up again.
Knowing that their bodies were still very weak, Zhou Heng naturally would not be stingy. He prepared a cup of milk mixed with milk powder and mixed it with compressed biscuits to replenish their energy.
After a good rest, it was time for the introduction and maintenance of the firearms. Many of these civilian soldiers did not have the awareness to maintain their firearms. They did not care about the rusty guns in their hands, and the barrels were never maintained. This led to many casualties from the guns in their hands because they would explode.
At noon, there was a sumptuous lunch. There was fresh pork, fish, brown rice, and noodles. Everyone ate together. Zhou Heng also ate with the soldiers. He told them about the five-kilometer cross-country and the use of maintaining guns, as well as the fact that they could not abandon their comrades.
No matter what kind of training it was, the soldiers had to be clear about its use so that they would have a good idea. If they were not told what the purpose of the training was, they would think that they were deliberately tormenting them.
After the meal, it was basic tactical training, such as prone position shooting, half-kneeling shooting, upright shooting, machine gun burst shooting, continuous shooting, firepower configuration, cross-cover, trench digging, and so on.
The training began in a flurry. Some people had good basic tactical knowledge, but most of them had never experienced tactical training. They were strong men who were pulled into the battlefield by their superiors to fight the Japanese. At most, they knew how to shoot. As for how to aim, how to lie down, and how to cover with machine guns, they had no idea.
Zhou Heng was very glad that he still had time to train these soldiers. If he had directly dragged them into the battlefield, there would definitely not be many of these soldiers who could survive. They might be filled with enthusiasm and charge forward with their guns, but that would be courting death.
After finally arranging Lin Yi, Meng Fan, and a group of tactical officers to train the soldiers, Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his tent.
He still had to formulate the training plan and study plan for the night. It was impossible for him to be illiterate. If he could not read the words on the orders, how could he carry them out?
There were also technical soldiers like the artillery. If they didn't know the basic ballistatics, then firing was completely based on their instincts. They couldn't teach the new artillery soldiers well. Those soldiers who could fire now almost all relied on their instincts. They knew how to operate mortars, mountain cannons, and infantry cannons.
However, they were at a loss for the large-caliber howitzer because it was something that required skill to play with. Shooting tables, gun aiming observation, anti-artillery, and so on. Without basic mathematical skills, it was impossible to play with it.
There was also the problem of the tank soldiers. Some people knew how to drive a tank, but Zhou Heng did not know what kind of tank to equip them with. After all, the road conditions in Myanmar, their main battlefield, were bad. The T34 would probably get stuck in the mud seven to eight times a day, not to mention the Tiger, which was not even worth looking at in the big bear's place.
"I do need to recruit some students to join the army. Otherwise, when the scale of the army is expanded in the future, there will be no way to increase their combat strength. The students have basic knowledge. Whether it's heavy artillery, aircraft, or tanks, they will be able to get used to it faster. Sigh, those old men only know how to take money every day. They just don't know how to educate people.”
Holding a pen, Zhou Heng kept writing and drawing to determine if there was a problem with his plan. It took up a lot of his energy. He felt that he should find a few more professional officers. Things would be much easier.
The first thing to be confirmed was the military establishment, which would be based on the Army Regiment of the United States Army. After that, they would exchange for all kinds of firearms and weapons. If they wanted to complete the exchange, they would need Hong Shuting to come and trade with them next time. After all, the equipment of a regiment was not a small amount.
"Report!" The guard at the entrance of the tent suddenly walked in.
"What is it?" Zhou Heng asked.
"Reporting to Leader, there's a girl at the door, saying she's looking for someone. The sentry didn't dare to let her in, so he asked Leader what to do.”the guard replied.
Zhou Heng was a little confused. Find someone? Find what person? Could it be that a soldier had bullied the girl? This was a big deal. Zhou Heng put down the pen in his hand and said to him,"Let's go and take a look."”
Hurriedly arriving at the entrance of the military camp, he saw a girl walking back and forth not far from the sentry post. Her long black hair was braided into a braid. She wore a floral top and gray pants, but this simple dress did not hide her good figure.
Her small face was fair and clean, and her big eyes were watery. She seemed to have seen him walk out and stared at him, as if she wanted to see something.
"It's her?" Zhou Heng already knew the identity of the lady in front of him. She was Xiaozui, Chen Xiaozui, a pitiful lady.
