Chapter 14: Training Soldiers (Three)

  The next morning, the various military camps began to bustle with activity. In Song Zhe Wu's training plan, the morning exercise started with a 5-kilometer bare-handed cross-country run, followed by a 10-kilometer bare-handed cross-country run, and then gradually transitioned to armed cross-country runs. Song Zhe Wu brought Chu Feng and his guard squad to participate in the morning exercise of the first battalion, first regiment, and first company, which was a habit he had developed in Tianjin, where he would definitely join a unit's training every morning.

  Song Zhe Wu had long been accustomed to attending the morning exercise, after saluting and reporting, he led his newly compiled company to start exercising, Song Zhe Wu and others followed behind the team and ran out of the military camp.

  Not far from the military camp is the Jumah River, which is not far from the source of the Jumah River. The water volume is not very large, but the river water is clear and transparent, with a cold air in the morning light. The team ran along the river for about 2000 meters before turning into a mountain valley, and then came to a small hill behind the valley, and then ran towards the top of the mountain along the rugged road.

  "The route you chose is not bad." Song Zhe Wu said while running, to Chu Feng who was running behind him. "The route is not bad, but the distance is wrong," Chu Feng panted and said. Song Zhe Wu calculated the distance again, no, from the military camp to the top of the mountain 5 kilometers away, it's almost there, but the team that went up the mountain didn't stop at all, and directly ran down the mountain.

  Song Zhe Wu and his group ran to the top of the mountain, from where they looked down and saw that their long line of troops had already stretched out for a considerable distance. Only about 100 people at the front were still maintaining formation, while more than 200 people behind them had already scattered. These people lined up all the way from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Many people were panting heavily and constantly looking back towards the top of the mountain. It seemed that if Song Zhe Wu hadn't been at the back, many people would have given up running long ago. After descending the mountain, Song Zhe Wu's group quickened their pace, overtaking those who had fallen behind, and caught up with the 100 or so people at the front who were still maintaining formation just before entering the military camp, and they all ran into the camp together.

  Yi Lian ran all the way to Song Zhe Wu's front, saying awkwardly: "Commander, most of the people who can keep up with the team are old soldiers from Tianjin. The ones behind are new recruits and they need some time to catch up." "Today's morning exercise exceeded 10 kilometers, why not run 5 kilometers?" Song Zhe Wu asked Yi Lian in confusion. Yi Lian was stunned: "I'm executing the training plan issued by the battalion, a 12-kilometer hand-run in the morning." Song Zhe Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it must be that competitive Zhang Ya Fei who altered the training plan. For now, he didn't say much and led Chu Feng and others to ride horses back to the brigade department.

  At the entrance of the brigade department, he met Xiao Guodong who was also participating in the morning exercise. "Zhang Yafei altered the training plan without permission, and his first battalion ran 12 kilometers in the first phase!" Song Zhewu said angrily. "Haha," Xiao Guodong couldn't help but laugh. "It seems that Zhang Tao is still following the rules, the third battalion only ran 10 kilometers." Song Zhewu was somewhat stunned, it seemed that not just the first and third battalions were increasing their training intensity. Xiao Guodong saw the thought in Song Zhewu's mind and smiled, saying: "I think the brigade department should not intervene in this matter, so as not to discourage their enthusiasm, we can just increase their food allowance." Song Zhewu thought for a moment and had no better solution, so he reluctantly agreed.

  After breakfast, Song Zhe Wu took Chu Feng to the special forces training camp again. This was what he promised Ye Changgui yesterday, and he needed to give guidance to his instructors in various subjects. After all, they had never even heard of special operations before.

  Thanks to the "magic sword" given by Song Zhe Wu, Ye Changgui started selecting team members yesterday afternoon. The first to be affected was the guard battalion, because this battalion was brought up by him and he was very familiar with the strengths and even personalities of each person in the battalion, so there was no need to select, and the list of names was directly drawn up.

  Ye Changgui left the guard camp, and the camp leader was taken over by the original deputy camp leader Liang Bang. Yesterday, after the meeting, Ye Changgui found Liang Bang in the afternoon of the same day and directly handed over the list of personnel, indicating that all the people on this list were wanted.

  Li Banger was stunned when he saw the list, with 4th Company Commander Zhang Meng at the top, a total of 158 people, almost half of the company. It's not just that there are many people, but the people on this list almost include all the technical and tactical experts in the guard battalion, with various specialties.

  Liang Bang pleaded with a bitter face for Ye Changgui to show mercy, but was rebuffed by Ye Changgui's remark "The commander doesn't even care, what else can you bear to give up?" Liang Bang saw that Ye Changgui was not willing to let anyone go and gritted his teeth, releasing everyone immediately. It seemed like a generous move, but in fact, Liang Bang thought it would be better for them to leave early, so he wouldn't have to watch them anymore.

  Ye Changgui immediately led his men to the pre-arranged garrison, and the deputy commander of the special warfare team had been asked by Song Zhe-wu yesterday, who was Zhang Meng, the 4th company commander.

  Upon arrival, Ye Changgui divided all the people with special talents into several small groups according to their different specialties. These groups were hand-to-hand combat instructor group, shooting instructor group, camouflage and concealment instructor group, tactics instructor group, technical instructor group, and comprehensive group.

  When Song Zhe Wu arrived at the special forces camp, Ye Chang Gui and Zhang Meng were already waiting at the door. Song Zhe Wu briefly explained to all personnel the purpose and tasks of special operations.

  The main tasks of modern special forces include: raiding and destroying, assassinating and abducting, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, stealing intelligence, psychological warfare propaganda, guarding important personnel, counter-subversion, sabotage, anti-ambush, and anti-hijacking.

  Completing all special operations training requires a long time, but Song Zhe Wu didn't have much time. Some special combat subjects are not needed at present. Therefore, the tasks assigned by Song Zhe Wu to the special forces were: raiding important targets behind enemy lines, raiding and destroying, assassinating and abducting, psychological warfare propaganda, and guarding important personnel.

  Then, he began to guide each professional group. In fact, Song Zhe-wu's guidance was just to put forward the ultimate goal for each subject, and he didn't have much experience in specific areas. Only in shooting did he have some experience, as Germany had already seen the emergence of snipers at that time, and the Dresden Infantry School even had a sniper course. Song Zhe-wu explained to them the role of snipers, training methods, requirements for concealment, and shooting techniques. For other subjects, his understanding was very limited. In the camouflage and concealment group, he suddenly remembered the concept of protective coloration and specifically talked about how to analyze the surrounding environment in detail and blend in with it. In the tactics group, he required the special forces to resolutely eliminate the strong attack and hard charge combat method, and to thoroughly change their tactics to stealthy attacks, infiltrating and penetrating behind enemy lines, taking important military targets as their objective. For the hand-to-hand combat group, he demanded that they research a set of moves to defeat the enemy with one blow, including not only unarmed combat but also dagger, bayonet, stick, and even bow and arrow techniques. As for traps, he suggested that Ye Changgui go to the troops to find some soldiers from hunting backgrounds to work together to come up with an effective method.

  In the technical group, there was a 75mm mountain artillery team and a mortar team pulled from the artillery regiment, and even two skilled drivers. These two artillery teams were the most powerful in the artillery regiment, with a first-shot hit rate of over 90%. It took Ye Changgui a lot of effort to get these two artillery teams. When he went to the artillery regiment, they wouldn't let him in, and it wasn't until he brought along Song Zhe-wu and Xiao Guo-dong that his wish was fulfilled. In later generations, special forces had to master many skills, including driving, even tanks and aircraft. Song Zhe-wu remembered that after the dissolution of Russia, President Putin once drove a Su-27 fighter jet to the front lines in Chechnya, although he wasn't a special forces soldier, but rather a KGB agent.

  In the following tens of days, each coaching group worked hard in the camp, while Ye Changgui led other personnel to rush to various regimental headquarters. For a time, all camps were in an uproar, and Song Zhewu and Xiao Guodong repeatedly rushed to various camps at Ye Changgui's request, forcing those team leaders who had been blinded by greed to release people.

  Half a month later, Ye Changgui, who was full of team members, sealed off the camp according to Song Zhewu's order. Except for Song Zhewu, Xiao Guodong and Chu Feng, no one else was allowed in without the permission of Song Zhewu or Xiao Guodong.
