Nowadays, being a sniper in a mercenary group is no longer just a matter of good marksmanship. It also includes a strong body and endurance. More importantly, the martial arts skills must be high, and they must be able to maintain their skills in any situation and in any environment. Combat qualities and skills.
For example, the last time Zhang Xiaoping and Zhao Xiaojin carried out the mission of sniping and killing Japanese commanders, the requirements for their personal abilities were very high. Whether it is the skills and abilities of long-distance infiltration or long-term lurking, or the ability of observation and endurance, it is a severe test for the individual's body and spirit.
Of course, there is also the need to be able to cope with all crises and accidents when retreating. Not only must you have super combat ability, but you must also have the physical conditions to match it.
If Zhang Xiaoping did not have the physical self-protection ability that a master of Qi Jin Realm can possess, he might have been seriously injured and died of excessive bleeding on the road.
During the breakout process, Zhao Xiaojin relied on his pure Wudang Kung Fu to carry his seriously injured junior brother all the way through the Japanese army's siege, and persisted until Zhou Wen led his brothers to arrive.
Therefore, as the martial arts and various military skills of the mercenary corps become stronger and stronger, the combat rhythm of the special operations of a detachment has changed differently from the past, and the requirements for combat coordination among the team members have become higher and higher. Come higher and higher.
This change is not intentional by Zhou Wen, but will change naturally as the overall strength of the team improves, regardless of human will.
Therefore, Uncle Ma, who was originally the number one machine gunner of the mercenary group, has gradually withdrawn from the series of combat troops and began to serve as a full-time instructor to train new recruits.
You must know that any slowdown in any aspect of the battle will have an impact on yourself and the team.
With Gao Xiaoshan's powerful skills, during the night attack at Xifengkou, because he had not entered the Qi Jin state at that time, he was slightly delayed in the triangle tactical formation formed with Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping, and he was instantly killed. Surrounded by the Japanese army, he was seriously injured in the end.
It was because of Gao Xiaoshan's injury that Zhou Wen realized that as the brothers' martial arts improved, the battle rhythm of the first team had changed. This change will make a detachment more powerful and move faster and more agile.
However, just like athletes running a marathon, with the passage of time and differences in personal physical conditions and talents, some people will inevitably lead and some will lag behind. And this gap will grow wider in the future.
Although Zhou Wen was very reluctant emotionally, his reason told him that some brothers might no longer be suitable to stay in the first team.
Of course, just because he can't be in the first team doesn't mean he's not the king of soldiers. Even the weakest member of the first team is like a god among other troops. The first and second regiments of the mercenary group are eager to beat gongs and drums and carry him back in a sedan chair.
Zhou Wen also discussed this in private with the two martial arts masters Miaohua and Zhao Xiaojin, screened all the brothers in the first team, and made a list of those who might be transferred from the first team.
But whether it is from an emotional point of view or from the perspective of stabilizing the team, this kind of thing cannot be done one size fits all, it can only be done step by step, step by step.
The first ones to be transferred from the first team were Uncle Ma and Tian Boguang.
Although Uncle Ma's body is not as good as before, his skills and experience are still there, and he has been training with Zhou Wen since he was in Dawangzhuang. He is very familiar with the training model created by Zhou Wen, which is suitable for recruit training.
Uncle Ma is now the deputy commander of the new regiment. Meng Yuting and Gao Xiaoshan are currently busy with the construction of the base, and Uncle Ma is basically in charge of overall management of the new corps.
Of course, Uncle Ma was not happy about being transferred out of the front-line unit as the boss, and he also felt a lot of reluctance. You know, these brothers in Dawangzhuang have grown up step by step under his nose. Especially the five members of the machine gun team were almost taught by him step by step. The relationship with Liu Hei and Liu Dahu is equivalent to that of master and disciple.
Now that he has been transferred out of the first team and left behind these young children whom he is familiar with and feels proud and happy about, one can imagine how Uncle Ma feels. And he doesn't think he's old. The machine gun can still fire accurately, and he is still the well-deserved machine gun pianist of the mercenary group.
Of course Zhou Wen knew Uncle Ma's reluctance and loss, so he promised Uncle Ma to transfer him to Shanghai after the recruit training was completed. One is that Uncle Ma has worked hard for more than half his life and wants him to come to Shanghai to open his eyes and experience life in a bustling city.
Another is that the Jiang Defense Brigade also needs a senior machine gun commander.
You must know that the Jiang Defense Brigade mainly focuses on water operations, and whether it is a gunboat or a clipper, the main means of firepower output is machine guns. Almost none of these recruits have ever been exposed to machine guns. Even if it is easy to train a machine gunner after some training, it is difficult to train a qualified machine gun commander.
And Uncle Ma can just use the remaining heat. Moreover, commanding on a gunboat or personally operating a machine gun is not too demanding on the body, and it can better utilize his strengths. No longer have to follow the team on the land to travel through mountains and rivers to work hard.
But Tian Boguang is no different. If he is placed in the first or second regiment, with his military skills and sniper level, he will certainly be able to play a great role. Even company and platoon-level officers can do the job.
But Zhou Wen felt that he had a greater role, which was his Japanese identity and his natural talent for acting.
In Zhou Wen's view, the best candidate to truly disguise himself as a Japanese is to be Japanese himself.
You know, although China and Japan are only separated by a sea, the differences in the lives of the people of the two countries are very big. And although Japan is just a small country, different regions also have different living habits, eating habits, and even the etiquette of dealing with others.
As the saying goes, "The winds are different in a hundred miles, and the customs are different in a thousand miles." Maybe just a small flaw in life or language will expose your identity as a spy.
Just like Japanese people who want to disguise themselves as Chinese, they also need to undergo strict environmental training. Many Japanese spies were trained from an early age. As soon as they enter school, they will cut off contact with their families. They will rename themselves, change their clothes, and even live directly with Chinese people, learning the Chinese way of life for a long time.
This kind of specially trained spies is very difficult to mass-produce. However, after these spies have adapted to the Chinese language, Chinese lifestyle and dressing habits, it is also very difficult to identify them. They are mainly engaged in some high-density work and have a high spy level.
And Tian Boguang himself is Japanese. Coupled with his rigorous training in the mercenary group over the years, his tactical ability is also very good, his marksmanship is good and he can perform. This kind of person is simply born to be a spy.
