Chapter 27 Special Operations Training (3)

  At 5:00 the next morning, Wang Mingyu woke up several people who were receiving training on time. The good habits formed in military school ensured efficiency. Due to the lack of water in the mountains, there was no washing or rinsing, just a little water was swished around in their mouths and then spat out. Immediately afterwards, they took out the dry rations they had brought with them and ate some. After a moment, several people were already lined up in formation, waiting for Wang Mingyu's orders.

  Wang Mingyu looked at these people with satisfaction, smiling and saying "You didn't disappoint me, but this is just the beginning. Today I'm going to teach you hand-to-hand combat and assassination techniques. These are very different from what we learned in Central Military Academy. The hand-to-hand combat and assassination techniques we learned in Central Military Academy can only deal with ordinary little devils. If you want to silently take out the little devils in special operations, hand-to-hand combat and assassination become especially important. Today I'm going to teach you..."

  Several people followed Wang Mingyu's movements in practice, constantly learning, and each time they had a fresh feeling. Although this training was a bit arduous, at least in the eyes of these few people, they still yearned to become stronger. What Wang Mingyu called "hand-to-hand combat stabbing", is actually the modern special forces commonly practiced sanda fighting and close-quarters stabbing. These things are not considered anything in modern times, but at that time, they were thought to be a kind of "martial arts secret book". These sanda fighting techniques are all summarized by later generations based on their predecessors' continuous battles and sacrifices, a practical and concise combat skill.

  Wang Mingyu continued to repeat the action from earlier, pausing for five seconds after each move, allowing them to observe. After a set of punches, he was also somewhat tired. Although Wang Mingyu had been constantly training his body in military school, hand-to-hand combat and other skills hadn't been practiced much since they trained together all the time. His current physical condition wasn't very flexible, but fortunately, he still felt like he could do it. As he practiced, he made rapid progress. The next step was to correct their mistakes repeatedly and keep practicing.

  The main thing about martial arts is the practice of confrontation. When they practice, it's always one-on-one, taking turns to attack and defend. He kicks you once, you punch him once, and gradually, after repeated confrontations, several people grasp some tricks. However, an hour passes very quickly. The daily training time is regulated.

  As soon as Wang Mingyu's whistle sounded, several people stopped in their tracks.

  Wang Mingyu said: "These combat skills are simple, but they're not that easy to use. We need to achieve a level where we can use the simplest and most practical moves to kill the enemy in the shortest amount of time. Absolutely cannot give the opponent any chance to take advantage of us. This is being responsible for yourself, your brothers, and our country. Today is the first training session, from now on, every morning you will be practicing hand-to-hand combat. Pay attention to safety, control your strength, but don't be afraid to get hurt. It's better to suffer a little injury in peacetime than to lose your life in real battle! Alright, everyone take 15 minutes to relax and stretch, then we'll start with running and push-up exercises. Dismissed!"

  After finishing speaking, Wang Mingyu himself went to fetch two backpacks and started placing one backpack at a distance of about 50 meters. These were unavoidable things, without training equipment, they could only use some simple methods as substitutes for training reference objects. The 50-meter shuttle run was used to practice explosive power and reaction ability.

  After a few people finished resting, Wang Mingyu began to assign training plans. Every three people formed a group, the first group trained push-ups, the second group trained shuttle runs, and then swapped after half an hour, rested for half an hour after an hour. In other words, each person needs to practice push-ups for half an hour and shuttle runs for half an hour.

  This exercise method was very new at that time, because no one in the troops knew there was such an exercise method. When Wang Mingyu demonstrated the action essentials once, several people laughed, it's too simple.

  At first, several people thought it was a piece of cake and too easy. Wang Mingyu didn't bother with them and took a few people to go back and run.

  No one was doing shuttle runs back and forth, just like a relay, so there wasn't much to see. Wang Mingyu watched them train, but before long, the few people practicing push-ups started moving irregularly, some began to do one and then lie down on the ground for a rest.

  Wang Mingyu smiled and said, "How does it feel? Weren't you all disdainful just now?"

  Lin Wen said with a bitter face: "Captain, this is like the horse stance we used to practice before. It was easy at first, but it got harder and harder later on!"

  Wang Mingyu looked at Lin Wen and said: "You're right, what you're practicing now is exactly this principle. Currently, the most basic thing about the martial arts you're practicing is strength! What's the most direct way to practice strength? It's push-ups!"

  "Captain, how do you know so much? And the things you teach us, not only have we never seen them before, but even the military academy hasn't taught them. Captain, who did you learn from?" Li Xianyu asked with a hint of doubt.

  Wang Mingyu was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Ah, this? Have you guys heard of the Berlin Military Academy? Our Central German-equipped division also has German advisors, haha! But I didn't learn from them. My status as an officer isn't high enough to be with the committee chairman all day!"

  The others all laughed, and then listened to Wang Mingyu ramble on: "Actually, I've been interested in these guns and things since I was a kid. I often begged my dad to buy me books about them to read. You know, my dad is pretty well-off, so it's no problem for him to bring back some of this stuff. So I often looked at them, often thought about them, and came up with this set of training methods. This set of training methods of mine was actually improved upon from someone else's!"

  "Captain, do you know if these things are useful or not?" Sun Dabao said blankly. "Dabao, the captain's instructions are correct, don't we still trust the captain? Look at our military school for so long, has the captain ever given us anything wrong? Besides, just look at the hand-to-hand combat technique the captain taught us earlier, I believe the captain is right." Huang Boxiong shouted at Sun Dabao, "Alright, alright, you all follow my training method and train, when the time comes you'll know, anyway our training has already been completed. Later on you'll see the benefits that special operations bring to you, okay, no more nonsense, continue training! This push-up not only trains your strength but also your willpower. Only by constantly challenging your body's limits can you be stronger than others and stand out from the crowd!" Wang Mingyu said sternly, his smile gone. The few of them looked at Wang Mingyu and then began their training. After a long hour, they were all exhausted, the high-intensity exercise on the first day was really a bit cruel for them. But Wang Mingyu wanted to train a qualified special forces team, these few people were the backbone, Wang Mingyu wanted them not only to be brave and fearless in conventional combat but also to complete their arduous tasks without disappointing themselves or the country.

  After half an hour of relaxation training, a new round of shuttle run and push-up exercises began again. Looking at these fearless young people, Wang Mingyu had a satisfied smile on his face.

  China has countless people like this, who for the country, for the nation, are not afraid of anything, and even use their precious lives to defend the honor and safety of the motherland. These people, regardless of age, origin, or appearance, are all the backbone of the Chinese nation, and are the people we respect and love.
