Chapter 381: Teaching Company
Matanzas can live like heaven, but the price is that Haruko on the front line has become hell. The fighting here has lasted for five days, and the buildings in the town have completely collapsed and only ruins remain. Roma, who was in charge of supervising the team, was seriously injured by a mortar shell and had to withdraw. General Federo is now commanding the front.
After all, Fedro is a professional soldier who came out of a formal Cuban military academy. Although he has been retired for a few years, it seems that his ability is still above the passing line.
Now that the entire Haruko has strangled more than 10,000 cannon fodder from both sides, the Diago faction has a lot of armored vehicles that can form a local advantage on the battlefield, often breaking through the front line of the "Aurora Legion" and causing a lot of damage.
The "Aurora Legion" is due to lack of fuel, and now only a dozen fire assault vehicles can barely survive on smuggled diesel. If it weren't for the many anti-armor weapons, it would have been pushed back by the opponent long ago.
However, the advantage of the 'Aurora Legion' lies in its good management system and logistical support other than fuel, which can replenish at least a thousand cannon fodder to the battlefield every day. This kind of strong tenacity also made Marshall and Dabin who were sticking to Haruko extremely painful.
Even Zhou Qingfeng himself didn't expect the battle to be like this. He is not bad as a soldier king, and it is not bad to give ideas in the rear, but in terms of formal actual combat command, he is worse than Federo.
Now this is a good opportunity to learn about warfare in the midst of war. Zhou Qingfeng not only appeared on the battlefield himself, but also sent several direct-line armed forces to the field for actual combat training, including a Chinese-dominated army.
Today, there are less than 50,000 core members of the "Aurora Legion", but more than 5,000 military and paramilitary personnel, and the ratio of soldiers to civilians exceeds the terrifying ten to one.
The military director of the legion is Katerina. When Hunny was on Great Abaco Island, she trained an armed force of 1,000 people and an armed police force of 2,000 people. Zhou Qingfeng, on the other hand, immediately decided to form an armed bodyguard after getting 15,000 compatriots.
The head of the personal guard is Qin Weidong, an old soldier in his fifties, and was the battalion commander of an infantry battalion before retiring. Originally, he came to the United States to visit his son who was studying abroad, but he was the only one who died in the catastrophe.
This old soldier is also very interesting. The suffering of the last days did not completely knock him down. After being rescued, he took the initiative to find Zhou Qingfeng, and wanted to help Zhou Qingfeng form a military force and establish a country overseas.
Mr. Qin even asked that the men in the Chinese camp be allowed to marry four wives at the right time, to encourage childbearing and reproduction, and to let Chinese civilization take root in America, "Xiao Zhou, as long as this is done, your name will go down in history! "
Chinese people all have a dream of expanding their borders, and Zhou Qingfeng was also excited by the old man's words at the beginning. But later the reality told him not to think too much, and quickly form an army for Lao Tzu. There is no political power without the barrel of a gun, let alone founding a nation.
Mr. Qin was very enthusiastic about forming an army, and soon he pulled out more than a hundred young and strong from the fifteen thousand compatriots to prepare a teaching company. As soon as the teaching company was formed, the battle ahead began.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't frenziedly send his bodyguards who hadn't finished training as cannon fodder, but let this army do the logistics work, euphemistically calling it 'feel the atmosphere of actual combat'.
In the absence of mechanized vehicles, it was a nightmare to transport ammunition and supplies to the front lines. However, the large animals in Cuba have been eaten up long ago, and materials have to be transported by rickshaws. Nearly 100 kilometers have been transported over, and everyone has to be abolished.
In the end, after finally transporting the ammunition up, listening to the gunfire at the front, the teaching company, which had never experienced war before, collapsed on the spot and ran around in fright. Waiting for Qin Weidong to take the people back with great difficulty, he found that nearly half of the more than one hundred people sprained their feet and were injured while running around.
"The battlefield is still five kilometers away from us. What are you afraid of? If the front is really unstoppable, you can't escape. Now follow me to the front line to see what the real battlefield looks like."
Qin Weidong took the lead, supervising the battle team at the end, forcing the more than a hundred people to approach the battlefield,
Observe the shattered town of Haruko through the binoculars. When seeing the battlefield covered with corpses, there was no one in the whole company who did not vomit.
But then the battlefield ceased for two hours, and the teaching company was ordered to collect the corpse. Looking at all kinds of intestines, heads, hands and feet, the teaching company collapsed again. But Qin Weidong's words stunned everyone again, "Anyone who dares to run will be cannon fodder immediately."
On the night when the corpses were collected, many people in the teaching company couldn't sleep and were crying, but Qin Weidong forced the team to continue the training of emergency assembly at night. Don't let these people think too much all night, and let them sleep only after they are half-tired.
After a good night's sleep, the person teaching the company felt much better. But another question was repeatedly asked in the team - the front line was so miserable, can we win like this? More than 10,000 people have died in Haruko, and such a big town has killed more than 10,000 people!
"So we have to practice, learn, and develop!" Qin Weidong called together more than a hundred people, "In fact, the level of fighting in the town is very low, it is fighting for human life and consumption.
We obviously have tanks in our warehouses, but we can’t drive them; we have a lot of people, but we just can’t coordinate them; now we can only rely on giving soldiers medicine to drive them to the front line like cattle.
If you want to change all this, pulling out a high-quality infantry can completely abuse the opponent. But do we have a high-quality army? No! I give any of you a rifle, can anyone use it? Most of you have never touched a gun in your life.
In addition to the lack of qualified soldiers, we also lack qualified officers and non-commissioned officers, which is even more terrible. Many of those Cubans are trained reserve soldiers, but in fact they can't fight any tactics, and fighting is almost like gang fights.
Now the troops in our legion are generally not well trained, and the best ones are only a thousand in the hands of the military director Katerina. The first brigade of this legion has only completed three months of military training, and it has already become the killer of the legion.
Now there is a battalion in the first brigade fighting on the battlefield. After fighting for two days, they were tortured into dogs. The supervising team has shot more than 20 of them. But such a rotten army has actually become a firefighting team on the battlefield and an important force to stabilize the battle situation.
I would dare to say that Havana's forces are worse than ours. If they hadn't been equipped with a lot of armored vehicles, we would have tortured them to death. But it's just a dream for them to call! Absolutely impossible.
You have all seen the situation on the battlefield, the only way to survive is to practice! The head of the legion is one of our own, and the weapons and equipment and treatment will never be bad. Practice with me for three months, and I guarantee that you will become the strongest army in the entire Caribbean. Make sure you abuse other people like playing. "
With Qin Weidong's encouragement, the soldiers of the teaching company gradually became optimistic. In order to survive, to marry four wives, and to spread the world, a strong army is slowly training.
However, as the head of the teaching company, Qin Weidong thought to himself: We are not afraid on land, but the threat from the sea is too great. We have no navy at all now! (To be continued.)
