Section 89 Training
Yang Kan has always been very interested in several key points of military training proposed by Jiang Feng.
The methods of practicing the army are not a problem for people from a general family like him. Yang Kan also has his own training methods for how to build an army, but Jiang Feng's suggestions still made Yang Kan unable to help but move.
For example, the method of queue drilling has been emphasized since the Qin and Han dynasties, but unexpectedly, Jiang Feng proposed to use the standard of uniform queues and movements to constrain soldiers' behaviors with such standards to make soldiers more disciplined.
No matter who it is, it is clear that the most important thing for an army is military discipline. The most important manifestation of the combat effectiveness of an army is reflected through military discipline. Advance when beating the drum and retreat when singing the gold. This is the most basic military discipline and rules.
But how to strengthen military discipline is the most troublesome and difficult thing. For example, ordinary soldiers, holding swords and shields, holding guns and dancing spears, this individual tactic is easy to learn but difficult to master, but at least it takes an easy to learn. As long as the officer's fists and whip, farmers can quickly become familiar with it, that is, the degree is different. However, it is necessary to allow these farmers to form strict military disciplines and advance by beating drums. Even if the swords and fires are ahead, they must advance, and even if the gold and jade are everywhere in front, they must retreat. To achieve this, it is too difficult for farmers.
According to convention, this requires several bloody wars to make these mud legs who have just transformed from farmers into soldiers understand a little, but Jiang Feng told Yang Kan that through training of queue-related movements, as long as you are willing to endure hard training, it can greatly alleviate the laziness of these mud legs, and allow them to adapt to military discipline as quickly as possible and learn to cooperate.
The reason why the army is an army and has an essential difference from the bandits is that it has mutual cooperation and combat under the constraints of military discipline to maximize the strength of the group.
In order to experiment with the suggestions that Jiang Feng put forward to himself, Yang Kan also specially selected four of the two battalions who had similar situations to do the experiment. In addition to daily training, the soldiers of both of them specially added the queue training proposed by Jiang Feng, while the other two were carried out according to their original training standards in Guangsheng Army. After three months, the differences between the four were clearly revealed. The two who joined the queue training were obviously higher in daily norms and soldiers' morale, especially when they cooperated with offense and defense, they were more skillful and uniform.
This also surprised Yang Kan and the commanders of several other battalions.
The obvious facts can always be accepted quickly. According to Jiang Feng's advice to Yang Kan, although the organization of the fifth battalion of the First Army is ranked in the order of front, left, right and back, it must reflect the training efforts of the soldiers of each battalion and the ability of the officers. Then there must be differences in treatment. The confrontation drills between the fifth battalion are essential. The winner will not only add soldiers in the future, but also have priority in the issuance of weapons and armor, but will even be given priority in some magic armor and weapons and even some special potions. As soon as this news comes out, the entire First Army will be excited.
Jiang Feng also suggested that mobile red flags be set up in the fifth battalions of each army, with a small match every ten days and a big match every month. Those who win the game will receive mobile red flags and will enjoy special treatment of extra meals and vacations.
This greatly stimulated the officers and soldiers of each battalion, and also made the five battalions of the First Army in a fierce competition from the very beginning, forcing the officers and soldiers to work hard to ensure that their status will not be taken away by others.
In addition to this kind of training on military discipline, Jiang Feng also gave a series of personal physical training methods.
In this time and space, there are very obvious differences between the officers and soldiers in the army.
On the one hand, a group of officers with a foundation in martial arts. Most of them trained martial arts since childhood for various reasons, such as teaching from the Jianghu sects, teaching a certain member of the family in this regard, or being attracted to teach because of their qualifications, or gaining foundation-building knowledge through other channels, so they can start laying a solid foundation in their youth.
After entering adulthood, most of them have entered the most basic stage of martial arts, and occasionally there are particularly outstanding talents who can reach the level of Tongmai period. Of course, this refers to the group of officers who are not from prominent families. Through their own efforts, they have entered the military-class families and become backbone officers in the military together with those children from prominent families who have been teaching family martial arts since childhood.
Most of the soldiers came from the city and rural areas. They had never been exposed to martial arts when they were young, but they just joined the army with the idea of filling their stomachs. At best, they had a brute force, and many people could not even reach this point, which also made them have a considerable distance from the officer class.
It is true that officers are the core key to the soldiers who are in a general who are in a nest. However, if the soldiers' personal qualities and abilities are too poor, it will undoubtedly greatly drag down the combat effectiveness of an army, especially when the two armies are similar in other aspects, the quality of soldiers becomes particularly important.
Because of this, Jiang Feng gave a series of individual soldiers' quality training methods. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is some of the most basic modern physical training methods, such as armed cross-country marching, push-ups, group wooden jogging, and armed swimming. These are some training methods that Jiang Feng can think of.
It should be said that the training methods given by Jiang Feng were a great impact on Yang Kan. He didn't know how effective this seemingly crude and simple training method could play on these ordinary soldiers, so he still followed the convention, that is, he chose four of the two battalions for comparative training, and half of them were based on the conventional training method, while using the method proposed by Jiang Feng.
After a month, the gap between the two sides was not obvious, but according to Jiang Feng's proposal, the food intake of the two soldiers was obviously larger, but it can also be seen that the mental outlook and coordination ability of the soldiers of these two soldiers were obviously higher than that of the other two.
Three months later, the gap between the two sides became more obvious, especially in terms of physical fitness. The soldiers who trained both cities according to Jiang Feng's method required were significantly stronger than the other two cities. This also made Yang Kan finally let go of his doubts and began to fully advance the entire First Army, Jiang Feng gave the seemingly simple and crude training method.
On the training ground, sweating profusely, ten soldiers carried a log as thick as a bowl and ran through the training ground in small steps.
After several months of training, although these nearly illiterate farmers are a big problem in literacy, their advantages are gradually revealed in their obedience, which can be seen from the rhythm of carrying logs and running.
At first, there was no rhythm, and even a group of people didn't know how to cooperate. As a result, they either hurt the soldiers or became a mess, and even injured many people by the log. However, as they became more familiar, especially the coordinated cooperation ability shown by the queue training effect, the soldiers began to gradually adapt to this high-intensity new training method, provided that as long as they could eat a full meal.
Of course, this kind of log has gradually thickened from the initial thickness of the small bowl mouth to the current thickness of the sea bowl mouth, even thicker and heavier, which can also make their bodies stronger and their weight-bearing ability stronger.
Yang Kan stood on the platform and looked down at the huge scene in the field, which made him feel very satisfied.
Compared with Xu Ziqing's Second Army and Zhang Yue's Third Army, the First Army is the undeserved absolute main force. Most of the old soldiers and officers who experienced the two fierce battles of the Ant Bandit Siege and the Caizhou Army's invasion were concentrated in the First Army, and the first batch of officers and old soldiers from Daliang were also the largest in the First Army, which made this army higher in adaptability and training intensity than the Second Army and the Third Army.
For example, the Third Army is even conducting the most basic physical adaptability training. In Jiang Feng's words, let these long-term hungry refugees quickly eat a meal so that they can become strong in order to adapt to the needs of war.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the wooden ladder on the high platform. Yang Kan turned his head slightly, it was He Decai.
This talent official who has now fully entered the role is obviously very satisfied with his current job, and the adaptability he showed also made Jiang Feng, Cui Shang and others very satisfied.
"Mr. Yang."
"Mr. He."
He Decai bowed his hand and Yang Kan also replied. Although Mr. He is a calm person, he is very polite. He always follows the rules and does not act out of particularity.
"This batch of armor has been replenished, and the next batch of supplies may have to wait two months before they can be delivered." He Decai glanced at the scene of leaping dragons and tigers in the schoolyard, and couldn't help but stroke the short beard on his jaw. "The First Army is really extraordinary. Compared with the First Army, the Third Army is like a baby and a strong man."
"Mr. He, what you said made Ziyue and Silang and the others very angry. Now they are also fully adopting the new city training method. Moreover, the quality of those refugees from Yingbo and the two states is not bad. They are just hungry for too long, so they recover slowly in the early stage. Once they enter normal training, they will improve quickly. In addition, many of the old soldiers and officers recruited from Daliang were also assigned to the Third Army, so don't underestimate them."
Yang Kan's words also made He Decai deeply agree. Every time he escorted a large number of weapons and supplies to various armies, He Decai almost had to go with the team in person. On the one hand, he was supervising, and on the other hand, he also wanted to understand what problems the army currently has in using these weapons, armor and logistics. This is also a necessary measure to improve the work of the Material Office.
