Chapter 401: Stand firm, firm as a rock
It is quite difficult to run forward in a queue. In Li Mengxi's memory, the military training he has experienced, even after junior high school training, high school retraining, and college retraining, has a sufficient foundation. After a month of college training, when the queue is running forward, it is still
There are always people who have their shoes stepped on, not to mention civilian husbands who have only been training for less than a month.
On the training ground, the queue ran around in circles.
In the queue, someone's shoes were stepped on. The person involved squeezed out without making a report or saying a word, trying to squeeze out and put on his shoes. Li Mengxi saw this and yelled angrily.
"Stop! Stop everyone!"
Li Mengxi angrily stopped the team.
The recruits didn't understand why and stopped.
After someone stopped, they turned to look at Li Mengxi. This made Li Mengxi see that Li Mengxi was in a bad mood again.
Damn it, if you were on the battlefield, looking around, being distracted and not hearing the order from the front, a delay would disrupt the queue in an instant.
"You, get out of here!" Li Mengxi put his hand on his waist and pointed at someone with a bad tone.
The man didn't know what was wrong. He turned to look at Li Mengxi when he was stopped by Li Mengxi and looked confused.
"Just you, don't look at others, come out!"
The person who was stopped hesitated and squeezed out.
"Do you know why I asked you to come out?" Li Mengxi asked with a glare.
"No... I don't know." The recruit was confused.
Li Mengxi raised his head and stared at the new recruit, speaking word by word, "Let me ask you, what are the requirements for standing at attention?"
"Stand up your chest and raise your head, but you can't move your head, hands, or legs." The recruit replied. It wasn't a serious standard answer, but the meaning was not much different.
Li Mengxi asked again, "Then let me ask you again, after running and standing still, is the action of standing still?"
The recruit answered yes.
"Li Ding, what are you looking at with your fucking head moving?" Li Mengxi roared.
Only then did the recruit realize what he had done wrong and why he was called out to reprimand him.
After scolding this recruit, Li Mengxi yelled at the other recruits, "Let me tell you, as long as you stand still in the queue, you can't move around, you will be nailed to the ground! Don't say if your shoe falls off, if you run out, it will be an arrow."
Don't move even if it falls on you.
If your shoe falls off, you run out. When you run away, you mess up my queue.
As soon as you get out of the queue, the battlefield will be chaotic. They will trample you to death!
Remember with me, if you lose your shoes when you go into battle someday, you would rather kick them off and walk barefoot than bend down to pick up the shoes, let alone go out of the team to pick up the shoes."
"Did you hear that?!" Li Mengxi asked.
"I heard it!" the recruits replied in unison.
Training is a running-in process. It is a running-in process between soldiers. The soldiers go from being unfamiliar with passwords to becoming proficient in passwords. This is also a process of running-in.
At first, when Li Mengxi asked if he understood, the recruits were silent.
A few days later, when asked again if he understood, the recruits' answers were mixed.
Finally, now, when I asked if I understood, the recruits answered neatly and loudly.
Outside the field, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were watching Li Mengxi's military training. They saw Li Mengxi's small stature, big temper, and the way Li Mengxi was training with his hands on his hips.
This night's military training ended late at night.
"These forty people are ready to fight." When the soldiers were disbanded, Li Mengxi said to Liu Bei who came over.
There is still unfinished business tonight.
Scout.
Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, and Li Mengxi all knew how the scouts communicated with the caravans across time.
But a few of them know the method, the scouts don't, and the caravans don't know this method of contact yet.
Therefore, the scouts and traveling caravans must be gathered together to teach the essentials.
The caravan of rangers were all in the camp, with only eight of them. The scouts who followed Zhang Fei back had only seven of them.
A large group of people were gathered together, with Liu, Guan, and Zhang as their teachers, and they carefully explained the scout liaison method to everyone.
There are two main cores of the contact method. One is to plant branches and stones on the roadside as a mark. At the same time, in order to improve the identification efficiency, eye-catching flags should also be planted on the roadside.
In order to avoid the situation where a villager passes by and pulls out the flag, and kicks the pile of stones away, the pile of stones should be separated from the flag and farther away.
In this way, the villagers unfurled their flags and regarded the pile of stones a few steps away as an inconspicuous pile of stones and would not touch it at will.
For this contact method, the scout team definitely needs a lot of light and easy-to-carry flags. Currently, the scout team does not have enough flags, so they still need to make flags.
The flag is only used to mark the road. It does not need to be too big or have any words tattooed on the flag. It only needs a stick and a red strip of cloth tied to it. It is very simple to make.
In addition to the marking method of cutting branches, building stones, trees and flags, the second method of scout communication is the line drawing method.
As a simple drawing method, line drawing is easy to understand and can accurately mark short-distance maps of thirty or forty intersections, which is enough to guide traveling caravans.
One key point here is that the range of activities of the scouts is different from that of the rangers.
Scouts can leave the main road and disperse for dozens of miles, while the caravan will focus on the main road and search for supply points within ten miles of the main road.
Because the villages discovered by the scouts that were too far away from the main road were of no use to the traveling caravans.
If it is too far away, it will take half a day for the caravan to go out and buy it, and it will be impossible to catch up with the group when it comes back.
In view of this, Li Mengxi and Zhang Fei said that villages within ten miles of the main road can be marked, but there is no need to mark villages beyond ten miles.
Zhang Fei thought so.
Later, when Liu Bei brought a pile of fabrics, everyone was ready to make the identification flags used by the scouts.
Making the flag is very simple, just use scissors to cut strips of cloth. Originally, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Li Mengxi, as well as the scouts and rangers were busy cutting and pulling strips of cloth and were happily busy.
Li Mengxi suddenly picked up a strip of cloth two fingers wide and shook it.
Then, as if he remembered something, Li Mengxi stood up and left with a roar, surprising everyone.
Li Mengxi went to find a stick and found a stick. Li Mengxi tied a linen strip to the head of the stick. He frowned and thought about it. He took a deep breath and blew hard against the linen strip, "Huh--" He blew hard.
His movements were clumsy and interesting, and Liu Bei, who came to inquire, laughed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, Xi'er, what are you doing?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.
"I'm watching to see if the wind can raise the flag." Li Mengxi replied.
The problem Li Mengxi realized is this.
The scouts use flags and tie them with cloth strips.
However, precisely because it is only tied with a strip of cloth, the scout flag is just a strip of cloth and is not as large and eye-catching as the real flag.
The real military flag is such a big piece of cloth. Even if the flag is not unfolded, it can still be seen from a long distance.
The scout's flag consists of a stick and a cloth tape, and its target is small. If the flag cannot be raised, it will be easily missed.
Later, Li Mengxi was full of research spirit and tried various fabrics, including linen strips, Gebu strips, silk strips, and silk strips.
Hang them one by one on the stick and blow hard.
The test results show that the silk thread is the lightest and moves in the breeze.
Moreover, generally speaking, cheap fabrics such as linen and kebab are dull in color, while expensive fabrics such as silk can use good pigments, and the colors are mostly bright.
Take the strips of cloth used in Li Mengxi's experiments as an example. The strips of silk cloth are bright blue and look very conspicuous.
Li Mengxi always felt that silk was not wear-resistant, not strong, and useless.
Now I have discovered the usefulness of silk, which is that it is light and can fly up.
Guan Yu knew that Li Mengxi wanted to make the flag as conspicuous as possible, but Guan Yu said that there was no need to go to such trouble.
Guan Yu gave an example of breaking a branch. Of course, if a strip of cloth is hung on a straight pole, it will float when the wind blows.
But when it's time to use it, you don't even need to find a wooden pole, just break off the branches, hang the cloth strips on the horizontal branches, and the horizontal branches hang down, so it will naturally be eye-catching.
Li Mengxi immediately felt that this method was good, simple and effective.
In comparison, using a wooden pole is stupid.
Scout contact is finally completed.
Late at night, Li Mengxi went back to sleep.
Holding the torch and walking near the carriage, Li Mengxi heard a squeaking sound. He was stunned for a moment. He looked back and saw that the torch illuminated the carriage that raised chickens and ducks. Only then did he remember that the chickens and ducks were put here. Already.
After thinking for a while, Li Mengxi took a torch to the chicken and duck cages and looked at them one by one.
No eggs or duck eggs were seen.
I got two eggs today, and I guess there will be some tomorrow too.
When we got back to the car, Xiao Bian was already fast asleep.
Li Mengxi carefully took out a pen and cloth scroll and recorded the results, "Scout contact method, planting branches and building stones, carving lines to mark the direction.
The stone is made of gravel or hardened soil. The straight line is used to mark the road, the short line is used to mark the intersection, and the long line is used to mark the direction.
As for the details, a long pole is tied horizontally with a cloth belt, and the width of the cloth is two fingers long, which can be used as a mark. The cloth belt hangs down and spreads even if there is no wind.
If the stone is on the left, the long pole should be a few steps away and set up on the right, so as to prevent any villagers from grabbing the pole to get the cloth and destroying the stone with one kick.
When riding out to purchase goods, it is not appropriate to stay several miles away from the team. Therefore, when scouts leave notes, they should only leave villages within ten miles.
The effectiveness of the military training in formations was rapid. In less than a month, the forty-year-olds were all in uniform order. They could walk, run, and stop, and they were ready to fight."
