I build a red alert base in the Golden Triangle

: Training and running-in the troops

Jingdong, airport military base.

Under the scorching sun, a group of soldiers from the militia guard were undergoing training.

“Cheer up! The last three in today’s training mission! Reduce the rice in half in the evening! Only vegetarian dishes!” Xu Jin, who has been qualified as the deputy commander of the 18th Guard Regiment of the 6th Guard Brigade of the Militia Guards, is personally Seize the training of these new recruits.

In the huge military base, there were more than ten training squares erected. Each square represented a company. A total of more than two thousand recruits were undergoing brutal training and training formations under the scorching sun.

However, many of their recruits were captured from the Mongla Army and the Wa State Army. Many of them had participated in military training since childhood and had a certain foundation. Some of them were ordinary recruits recruited from various parts of Eastern Shan State. .

These new recruits with little military foundation formed three square formations alone, and the entire 18th Guard Regiment was disrupted and mixed.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct recruit training, run in the troops, and make the troops more obedient, thereby improving the combat effectiveness of the troops.

“How are these newcomers?” At this time, Li Yongyan, the 01 commander of the 18th Guard Regiment, came over, looked at the more than 2,000 people on the training ground, and asked with narrowed eyes.

Xu Jin first turned around and paid a military salute to Li Yongyan, and then said: “Captain, the new recruits of the Wa State Army are okay and have received strict training. The soldiers of the Mongla Army are inferior, and then there are the soldiers of the Burmese Army. Finally, there are the new recruits.”

Li Yongyan nodded and said: “The training task will be left to you. In a month, except for those new recruits, I want to see that their combat effectiveness has been significantly improved!”

“You must even be prepared to be deployed to remote areas at any time!”

Xu Jin saluted and said loudly: “Promise to complete the mission!”

Li Yongyan nodded, looked at the troops in training again, turned and left.

Xu Jin was left to continue training the soldiers at the training ground.

As a former grassroots officer of the Southern Wa State Army, Xu Jin continued to participate in all large and small battles after joining the militia guard force of the regiment, from fighting Mengdong to Dajingdong, and then to the offensive against the Northern Wa State.

Because the guard troops he led fought bravely in battles, they were awarded military honors many times. After the Battle of Northern Wa State, he was promoted from a company commander to a battalion commander.

Later, the legion was greatly expanded, and the six small brigades of the militia guard force were also expanded to a large establishment of 9,000 people.

As the first local Chinese officer to follow Wang Yao, Xu Jin was also promoted and transferred to the newly formed 18th Guard Regiment as deputy commander and commander of the 54th Guard Battalion.

The regiment leader Li Yongyan and the chief of staff above him are both officers from the red police department.

Although Xu Jin only has the rank of lieutenant colonel now, he is already the third in command in the 18th Guard Regiment and is a middle-level officer with real power. And he is only twenty-three years old this year.

There are many Chinese officers like him in the militia and guard units, but there is only one officer who has been promoted to lieutenant colonel and held the position of deputy regimental and battalion-level officer.

Therefore, he also became the core figure of the local Chinese faction.

No matter where there is a crowd, there are factions, even in Wang Yao’s legion.

The main force of the legion is all from the Red Police Department and has no factions; while the militia and guard troops under the legion have many different factions.

For example, the lineal officer group, which is dominated by officers from the Red Police Department, controls all major powers and positions in the militia and guard forces;

Secondly, there are people like Xu Jin, the first batch of local Chinese who joined the army to follow Wang Yao from the battle of the Southern Wa State Special Zone. Basically, they were promoted one after another in successive wars. The youngest was also a platoon leader, with more than 30 men under his command. The person with the highest rank is Xu Jin, the deputy head of the guard regiment.

Then there are the Shaomin soldiers who joined the legion to follow Wang Yao from the Southern Wa War. Their number is smaller than the local Chinese officer group. Later, after being promoted one after another, most of them were at the grassroots level, and gradually formed a faction, attached to the local Chinese officers. Around the factions.

Then there are the local Chinese officer groups and Shaomin officer groups who joined the legion after the Battle of Jingdong.

Because they joined later, they were automatically at the first level compared to the Chinese officers and Shaomin officer groups during the Southern Wa State War. Most of them were still serving as grassroots officers.

Finally, there are the Chinese soldiers and Shaomin soldiers from the former Northern Wa State Army and Mongla Army who joined after the Northern Wa State Campaign ended.

Even the newly recruited Chinese soldiers were one level higher than them and were competed by various Chinese officer groups.

The formation of these factions was inevitable, but the direct factions of the red police officers under Wang Yao were stronger and directly suppressed them.

Among these officer factions, most of the core members are fanatics who believe that following Wang Yao can end the troubled times here and allow everyone to live a good life, or they simply worship strong men like Wang Yao.

Xu Jin is such a fanatical admirer.

The soldiers trained under him were implanted with the goodness of the legion and the concept of loyalty to Commander-in-Chief Wang Yao by Xu Jin and the officers who were fanatical admirers like him every day, thus forming a spirit.

In the evening, after a day of training, the soldiers, led by their respective company commanders, came to the cooking squad of their respective companies and prepared meals in steel basins.

The food of the guard troops is also much better than that of the warlord troops. There is enough rice, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, and bone soup, which can fully replenish the empty stomachs of the soldiers after training, so that the soldiers can eat well and drink well, so that they can be more productive. combat effectiveness.

Under the control of the direct officers of the Red Police, it is basically difficult for the warlord troops to withhold food.

After the soldiers got their dinner, they sat on the simple table made of wooden boards and boxes. They put the rice bowls in their hands on the table and sat upright, waiting for the commander’s order.

No matter how hungry they were, their stomachs were already rumbling, and they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the aroma of food in their noses. They didn’t dare to do anything without orders from their superiors.

Li Yongyan led Xu Jin around each company, nodded with satisfaction, and then loudly said: “Let’s eat!”

“Yes!!!” all the soldiers shouted in unison.

Then they all picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Seeing how delicious the food was for his soldiers, Li Yongyan nodded with satisfaction, also grabbed a bowl of rice and sat down to eat with the officers.

Xu Jin grabbed a bowl of food and came to the area of the 54th Guard Battalion under his direct jurisdiction.

He is not only the deputy commander of the regiment, but also the battalion commander of the 54th Guard Battalion.

“Deputy Captain Xu!” The nine unqualified people who only received half a bowl of rice and a vegetarian dish immediately sat upright.

They are all the people with the lowest training performance among the three companies under the 54th Guard Battalion.

Xu Jin sat among them with a straight face, picked out the meat in his bowl one by one, and distributed it to the soldiers.

“Deputy Commander Xu!” The soldiers looked shocked.

Xu Jin said while dividing the meat: “If you fail the physical training, just try harder next time. But if you fail the cultural class, you will be kicked out to the Construction Corps to build roads! If you don’t want to be kicked out, just give me a good meal.” , study hard in cultural class in the evening!”

“Yes! Sir!” Several soldiers were so moved that they burst into tears. They opened their bowls and ate heartily while shedding tears.
