In the yard of the special service platoon barracks, Monk Wei was directing the soldiers to practice grappling and fighting.
It has to be said that Monk Wei was born in the Shaolin Temple after all, and his kung fu is very good. If the soldiers of the special service platoon could learn half of the kung fu he possessed, none of the Japanese agents would be a match. Therefore, Xu Dalong asked Monk Wei to serve as the instructor of the special service platoon's capture and combat training.
He asked Monk Wei not to let the fighters start with practice routines, but to let him separately extract the essence of grappling and fighting from the Kung Fu he learned from the Shaolin Temple.
Monk Wei selected the essence of 36 Shaolin martial arts moves, and Xu Dalong helped him select them, and finally selected 24 moves for the warriors to practice repeatedly. After they become proficient in these moves, let them strengthen their strength training.
Monk Wei has a strong personality and a big temper. He is extremely strict in guiding the training of the soldiers.
When he saw the soldiers failing to perform their movements properly, he would scold them loudly and even sometimes kick them.
Although the soldiers were angry, they really admired Monk Wei's kung fu. They tried their best to move well and not let Monk Wei find fault with them.
The soldiers in the special service platoon were all selected and all were excellent. Under the strict teaching guidance of Monk Wei, they made rapid progress.
Seeing Xu Dalong's return, Monk Wei asked everyone to stop training and rest where they were. He, Zheng Xirong, and Wang Xiaohu gathered around.
Monk Wei said: "Master Long."
Now in the independent group, only Monk Wei calls Xu Dalong that way. He admires Xu Dalong and feels it is an honor to call him that. Others want to call him that, but they don't have the qualifications yet.
He asked: "Have you received the combat mission?"
Xu Dalong said: "The leader asked us to choose our own targets. Huzi, bring the topographic map from the last time we went to Wanjia Town."
Among the three squads of today's special service platoon, the first and second squads are combat squads, and each squad is divided into three combat groups.
The third class is the service class, which is also divided into three groups. The first group is the artillery group, equipped with a 60mm mortar. The second group is the machine gun group, equipped with a Type 92 heavy machine gun (temporarily vacant) and a crooked machine gun. The third group is responsible for transportation and storage of supplies, field cooking and other logistical work.
Xu Dalong took the topographic map from Wang Xiaohu and laid it on the grinding plate. He pointed to a location on the map and said: "This is the Xinzhuang stronghold, the same stronghold we passed last time. There is a platoon of puppet troops there. Let's use them to train troops this time and capture this stronghold. Seize all weapons, ammunition and supplies in the stronghold."
"That's great." Zheng Xirong said happily.
Monk Wei and Wang Xiaohu were also very happy and asked, "When will we set off?"
The soldiers of the special service platoon train every day and feel very boring. When they heard that there was a war, everyone was very happy and gathered around them, wanting to know when the action would begin.
Xu Dalong said: "I plan to set off the day after tomorrow. Everyone will look at this terrain map and think about the combat plan. The whole platoon will meet tomorrow night to discuss it. No one is allowed to be lazy and must come up with a combat plan.
Don't think of yourselves as ordinary soldiers. You will all be commanders in the future. From now on, you must cultivate your own combat command skills. Do you understand? "
The officers and soldiers of the special service platoon felt very excited when they saw that Xu Dalong attached so much importance to training them. They all replied in unison: "I understand."
Xu Dalong said: "Rest for half an hour now, and then conduct pre-war training."
Xu Dalong and others came to the hillside outside the village. He asked Wang Xiaohu and others to go to the hillside 60 meters away and build a pile of rocks with stones. There was a rectangular hole in the middle of the pile.
Xu Dalong pointed at the hole and said: "Have you seen that hole? Its size is the same as the shooting hole on the Japanese and puppet army gun tower. Now I ask you to work in pairs and put bullets into that hole. Every time Each person has 20 rounds of bullets, and two people shoot alternately, with a 10-second interval between each shot."
Xu Dalong first gave a demonstration to Zheng Xirong. The two of them found a bunker. Xu Dalong first put the bullet into the hole, and then hid his body behind the bunker. Ten seconds later, Zheng Xirong also put the bullet into the hole. in.
The two men kept shooting, each fired five rounds, and then stood up.
Xu Dalong said: "Let's start practicing like this."
Zheng Xirong took charge and they started shooting practice.
Most of these people are excellent soldiers with good marksmanship, and all of them can complete the task of shooting bullets into holes in the stone piles.
After arranging the shooting practice, Xu Dalong said to Monk Wei: "You choose five bombardiers and follow me."
Xu Dalong took a few steps in the other direction and asked Wang Xiaohu to lead people to build a pile of stones at a distance of 40 meters, leaving a rectangular hole the same as before.
At this time, Monk Wei had already stood in a row with five bombardiers.
Xu Dalong first picked up a grenade practice bomb and threw it towards the square hole on the pile of rocks.
The grenade was thrown right into the square hole.
Xu Dalong pointed to the hole and said: "That is the shooting hole of the Japanese and puppet army's bunker. I ask you now to throw grenades into that shooting hole.
The bombing exercise is directed by Monk Wei, let's start now. "
Monk Wei picked up a practice grenade and threw it towards the square hole in the pile of rocks.
He is very strong and can throw grenades the farthest among them. He can throw grenades as far as 72m.
The grenade thrown by Monk Wei flew very fast and whistled in the air. However, it did not hit the shooting hole. The grenade hit the stone nearby and bounced away.
Monk Wei was a little unconvinced and threw five more balls in succession before one of them went in. After this incident, he admired Xu Dalong even more.
Xu Dalong said: "Very good, let's train like this."
For two consecutive days, the special service platoon mainly trained on these two items: shooting and bomb-dropping accuracy. Basically it has reached 100%.
At 4 p.m. the next day, Xu Dalong stopped shooting and bomb-dropping training. He gathered the people together and took an engineering shovel from Wang Xiaohu.
The engineer spade was designed by Xu Dalong, and its shape is completely based on the engineer spade used by later special forces. The only shortcoming is that the engineer shovels they use are made from hoes used by farmers. Their hardness and toughness are somewhat insufficient. Under the current conditions, they can only make do with it.
Xu Dalong walked to one end of the queue, turned around, and ran towards the front of the queue. After running a few steps, he quickly lay down and crawled forward. While crawling, he kept rolling and then continued to move forward, which perfectly demonstrated the individual infantry tactics of engaging the enemy.
Xu Dalong came to the front of the queue and stopped advancing. He took out the engineering shovel from his back, turned sideways and dug on the ground. Soon after, a bunker was dug and the entire body hid inside.
He took out a sack, continued to dig the soil pit under him, and then put the soil into the sack. Soon the sack bulged. He placed the sack in front and completed the soil work of building a single soldier bunker.
Xu Dalong's movements were smooth and flowing. The soldiers were very impressed and burst into warm applause.
Next, Xu Dalong asked the soldiers to train according to the movements he just made.
After dinner that day, Xu Dalong gathered the soldiers. The squad leaders of each squad had collected all the combat plans written by the soldiers.
Xu Dalong carefully read everyone's combat plans and commented on them one by one.
Among these combat plans, Zheng Xirong's combat plan is the best, followed by Wang Xiaohu. Wang Xiaohu followed Li Yunlong in the past, so he was able to learn a lot of things, and his level was relatively high.
Monk Wei is also a veteran, and his plan is not bad. Xu Dalong also fully affirmed.
Xu Dalong concluded: "Very good. Brothers have used their brains, and most of the plans are very practical. I will ask for everyone's opinions before fighting in the future. Let me emphasize again, you are not ordinary soldiers, and you will definitely do it in the future. They will all become commanders, company commanders, battalion commanders or even higher positions. Therefore, don’t be afraid of hard work and be strict with yourself. I believe that everyone will continue to grow and improve.”
The longer Zheng Xirong stayed with Xu Dalong, the more he discovered how powerful the platoon leader was.
Not only is his personal tactical level extremely high, but his mobilization is also extremely provocative.
The soldiers in the special service platoon felt their blood boiling after hearing Xu Dalong's words.
At 5 o'clock in the morning the next day, Xu Dalong left Yangcun with the special service platoon and headed for the Xinzhuang stronghold.
