Military training on Wangan Island takes place every day, with increasing frequency and scale.
It used to be a small island with lush greenery on it, but now it has become a barren land. The vegetation was reduced to pieces by the artillery bombardment. Some cattle and sheep suffered a great disaster and died under the random bombardment of the artillery.
Every time there is such a record, the troops with excellent training results that night will get extra meals!
Yes, Liang Chuan introduced performance appraisal into training.
It's very simple. Whoever swims faster will run faster. If you fall behind in these two basic requirements, your combat effectiveness will definitely not be much better!
The unit that runs first can eat meat, and the unit that swims first can also eat meat.
But only the same arms types participate in the assessment.
This means that the Tianxiong Army is only assessed separately by several of its own teams, and cannot be compared with the people from the Shenji Battalion and the Adult Management Team.
Each troop type is different.
The equipment they need to carry and the armor they wear are even more different. They can run faster or slower. It would be unfair to assess them together.
After all, no one wants to miss the taste of beef and mutton. After training for a day, if you have two bites of beef and mutton, that is the biggest reward. This kind of large meat can quickly replenish the body's protein and energy, allowing you to have better energy to devote to training the next day.
Of course fish soup is also good, but everyone eats fish every day and now they are a bit picky. .
No one dares to forget the days of hunger, but when there is delicious food, everyone is greedy.
Shenji camp has the highest physical requirements.
Now the smallest artillery piece in the entire Shenji Battalion has to be pushed around on a wheeled cart. It weighs not just a few dozen kilograms, but any cannon weighs hundreds of kilograms. Several gunners take turns pushing it. If you are tired, you will fly out.
Although there were usually some mules and horses to help pull the heavy equipment, in order to prevent accidents from happening, Su Wei never relaxed the physical training of these soldiers.
The worst plan is that these gunners will be able to move their positions and launch a new offensive while carrying the artillery. If their health is too poor, it will be impossible to achieve this!
People these days are in very good health, not just average!
A farmer can carry a load of hundreds of kilograms with just a few taels of millet every day. Now, even the strongest person in the gym, who is fed protein powder every day, is not so capable!
The lightest truth-class artillery in the Shenji Battalion, Ling Hu has been reducing the caliber of the truth artillery after several years of continuous research. The original artillery weighed more than 200 kilograms, but now it has slowly become smaller, leaving only More than a hundred pounds.
However, Liang Chuan was still dissatisfied when artillery pieces of this size and quality were delivered to Liang Chuan.
It weighs more than a hundred kilograms. Anyone who can carry it can run away. The purpose of fighting alone will not be achieved at all.
Ling Hu, Zhao Di, Gu Tianle and other craftsmen have been constantly researching and trying to reduce the weight, at least to the extent that a soldier can carry it and run!
When this kind of artillery is developed, the test for these muscular men of the Shenji Battalion will really come. At that time, they will not only carry this truth-level artillery around, but also go up the mountain and go to the sea, with the gun and the people!
The Tianxiong Army has the lightest load, and they are positioned as light infantry.
In theory, they are equipped with heavy infantry equipment, but thanks to the lightweight quality of cold-forged armor, each of them only needs a marching backpack, a suit of armor, and two weapons, a crossbow or a backpack. , standard for each person.
The current size of the Tianxiong Army has expanded to 6,000 people. This is the absolute main force of their battle. If the Tianxiong Army cannot defeat the enemy, the Chengguan Brigade and the Japanese Army are no match.
The establishment of the Chengguan Brigade and the Shenji Battalion has not changed much, both have 3,000 people.
These two armies are more skilled than others.
And there is a need for confidentiality. People who join these two armies almost have their families on the island now, which is equivalent to hostages. The lesson of Golden Mountain is too painful. Liang Chuan really doesn’t want to have a second Golden Mountain, so even if he did it Not authentic enough, he also wanted to keep Liang Jiajun’s wife and children in the army!
Liang Chuan knew that to capture Yizhou, it would have to go through a bloody battle. But even he could see that most of the Japanese's water resistance was stronger than that of the Liang Jiajun, so they had to strengthen their training. High-intensity training and cooperation made the Liang Jiajun more and more proficient in their cooperation in landing operations on the island.
Su Wei is also most worried about this issue.
The reason why he has always been interested in Yizhou but has no courage to take action all these years is that he sees the shortcomings of Liang Jiajun.
The Liang family's naval warfare was really poor, and island landing operations were different from ordinary water warfare. Xia Dehai's naval forces were strong, but when they landed on the island, they were like fish on the beach, and they were even more useless!
He has never been able to find anyone who can train a navy master. Where can he find such a person?
There was no navy at all in the Song Dynasty!
The Song Dynasty had thousands of miles of sea territory, but they never fought on the water. Even in the Nanchen period, they did not spend much effort. The navy was only responsible for transportation. Transporting troops from Jiangbei to Jiangnan would have completed the task.
There are too few talents in this field. Without excellent commanders, it is impossible to train an army that can fight a hundred battles. Su Wei looked at Yizhou, his heart was burning with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do!
How could he have imagined that the best naval general in the world was Liang Chuan beside him!
Where did he learn these swimming movements? Su Wei also asked Xia Dehai. Xia Dehai had never seen it before. Is there anything on the sea that Xia Dehai had not seen before?
And that formula, if it wasn't compiled and compiled by someone with a heart, how could there be such a concise method!
It was Liang Chuan's idea to attack Penghu. Su Wei knew that before attacking Penghu, Liang Chuan had set his sights on Yizhou Island opposite!
Could it be that he had been preparing for Yizhou from the beginning?
For so many years, Liang Chuan said nothing and never showed his swimming experience to anyone! The most shocking thing is Liang Chuan's method of landing on the shore!
Absolutely amazing!
For many years in Qingyuan, he has witnessed the dragon boat race held in Qingyuan every year. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, dragon boat teams from all sides on the Sunjiang River will gather on the river, and large households in Qingyuan will contribute as a lottery, making it a grand event that everyone enjoys.
Liang Chuan has already had the prototype of the dragon boat in his mind. Calculating how long ago it happened, it has been ten years. Could it be that Liang Chuan had thoughts about Yizhou more than ten years ago?
At that time, he was still selling bamboo weaving in Chengtian Alley. .
So some people think that the dragon boat is just a tool for fun, but they don't know that with slight improvements, the dragon boat can turn out to be an artifact for offshore warfare!
Was Liang Chuan a genius to begin with, or had Liang Chuan already planned it! He had already made a plan in his mind and took advantage of the situation to use the ship in the offensive and defensive battle of Yizhou?
Liang Chuan didn't just let these soldiers go swimming and fight with swords, he gave each of them a skin bag!
This small bag made of cow leather is filled with air and tied to the body with a rope. If the strength is exhausted, it will not drown in the water. .
It is impossible to say that Liang Chuan was not prepared!
Liang Chuan bought all the leather goods from Qingyuan. Not to mention the ones made into leather armor, the remaining scraps were not wasted at all. They were all made into water bladders and air bladders, which can be carried around to replenish water. You can also save your life in the sea!
How long does it take to plan this!
Su Wei thought that he had done everything he could, but compared with Liang Chuan, it felt like a waste of time.
It's a pity that Liang Chuan wasted several years in Guangnan. If he hadn't rescued Si Fangxing and started preparing to attack Yizhou, Yizhou would have been in the bag by now!
Everything is a given, but fortunately it’s not too late!
Wang'an Island was almost destroyed by bombs, and the repeated attacks made the men become familiar with the process of landing. They knew what they were going to do as soon as they got off the boat!
There is another troop that is also cooperating nervously.
This is the Black Cross Society of the two miraculous doctors An and Huang.
Although their role cannot be seen to be huge, Liang Chuan and Su Wei know that the Liang family now has precious combat power and labor force even if they are Japanese, and there is no place to replace them if they lose a person. It is impossible to go back to Lingzhou, Yinzhou in the northwest to recruit Xiangyong. The method is feasible, but the round trip time is too long. It is unrealistic to implement it now!
The Black Cross does not directly participate in the battle, but they have to rescue people. It is very easy for accidents to occur in the front. If someone in the same unit is injured, other members must stop the drill, rescue the person first, and deliver it to the members of the Black Cross!
Most of the injuries suffered by these soldiers were trauma and bone injuries.
Bone injuries are easy to treat. Just reset and splint. People will naturally recover slowly over time.
But wounds are different. This requires surgery. Secretary Huang's disciples are good at this kind of surgery. They can debridement, apply medicine and suture, and it's all done in one go!
Things are too dangerous on the island, and the cannons don't have eyes, so any accident may happen!
With the emergence of the Black Cross Society, after a month of practice, only a few people died in accidents. Liang Chuan gave a large pension and settled the family members. He could only tell others to be careful!
Those who died on the battlefield were wounded and paid for their injuries. This was the practice of the Song Dynasty army. Liang Chuan paid even more. He was the last person who wanted to see such a scene. Whenever a brother died, he would not bury the person hastily, but would hold a grand memorial ceremony for the living to remember. Let the dead rest in peace!
The Japanese can't understand this kind of behavior the most. A group of men are crying there. Death is an honor and a relief. Doesn't it hurt morale if a grown man wipes his tears?
Not many Japanese died.
They were not afraid of death, but they rushed too hard and moved faster than anyone else once they hit the water. They wanted to show off their role in front of Liang Chuan so much that Oda Nobunaga and Tokichiro both gave death orders. Whoever hinders the Japanese army will be attacked first!
Time passed quickly. It was meaningless to use Wang'an Island as an imaginary opponent every day. Liang Chuan picked several nearby islands and started practicing again. The different environment really made many people confused. , what you want is this effect, to adapt to new environments at any time!
