Chapter 494 The difficulty in training troops lies in logistics(1/2)
The construction of the military structure, establishing the establishment and dividing the numbers, is only part of it, it is the establishment part, the other part is the logistics.
Logistics refers to how to maintain the divided organization for a long time, which involves camp arrangements, march arrangements, rest, distribution of each meal ration, etc.
For this reason, before dark, Li Mengxi, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others completely rearranged the manpower in the army.
In the order of the twelve zodiac signs, starting with the rat flag, the rat flag comes first, followed by the tiger flag, and so on until the last one.
All the recruits marched toward the front row along the avenue.
To save trouble and facilitate management, the marching troops should be arranged in the same order as the camps.
As a result, the camps along the road were no longer compact, and the camps stretched for two or three miles.
This will inevitably make the team vulnerable and vulnerable to sneak attacks.
However, if you want to improve the order of the team, maintain the organization and ensure discipline to the greatest extent, camping like a long snake is the best choice.
Each recruit team is still in the same position in the marching queue, the training queue is opened for training, and the same position is still in the camp. Everything is done step by step, so there is very little chaos.
Taking into account various considerations such as the defensive ability of the camp, the marching ability, and order, Li Mengxi abandoned defense and part of the marching ability, and chose the most orderly way of marching in a long snake.
After tens of thousands of new soldiers were lined up, it was dark.
Li Mengxi didn't sleep for two days. The prisoners rioted last night and he didn't sleep all night. He was busy all day today and still couldn't get any time to rest.
At night, more troubles ensued.
I have a lot of free time in the evening, so I used to practice military training at night for more than an hour.
But in the past, the first batch of military training was forty, and the second batch was more than a thousand. With the logistics capabilities of the rebel army, it was possible to arrange one training ground and forty training fields.
Now, there are suddenly more than 39,000 new recruits. If you want to train at night, you need to have light to see, you need enough torches, and you need to set up more than a thousand training grounds.
This time, logistics becomes a drop in the bucket.
For a thousand training fields, at least a thousand small square fields eight steps long and four steps wide must be prepared. According to two steps, one torch pillar, one training ground, and twelve torches.
One thousand venues require 12,000 torches, and the torches burn very quickly. After training for more than an hour, the torches have to be replaced four or five times. In one night, 50,000 to 60,000 pieces of wood have to be consumed. They cannot afford it.
Can't afford it.
We had no choice but to live in extremely shabby conditions, giving only two torches to a training team.
There is no need for a military training field. Just stand in line and stand in a military posture. Thirty people stand in three rows. There is a torch on the left for lighting and a torch on the right for lighting. Just practice standing at attention and not moving in the queue. There is no need to move.
, the site requirements are very small, and the demand for light sources is also small.
Anyway, this is just the beginning of training, so there is no need to move around or turn in a queue. For the time being, we can only train stationary queue movements.
It was night, and the rebel camp was winding like a long dragon, from where it could be seen to where it couldn't be seen. The tiny firelights of stars were like fireflies dotting the night, extending to the extreme distance.
Li Mengxi and Liu Bei went to inspect the camp to inspect the first night of the third batch of more than 39,000 soldiers training.
In a certain recruit team, except for the recruit instructor holding a torch in his hand, there were no torches anywhere else.
The recruit instructor is recruiting people.
According to the height of the people, they were pulled into three rows from high to low.
After pulling everyone together, the recruit instructor said, "Take a look, where are you standing? If you can't remember clearly, don't complain if I beat you!"
In another recruit team, the recruit instructors had already lined up the queue. At this time, they were standing in military posture as required by the military order.
There are only two torches assigned to each team, and the light of the torch is only that big. If the instructor holds the torch and stands on the left side of the queue, the right side will be dark. If he stands on the right side, the left side will be dark.
The recruits cannot see clearly, so all the things that require alignment, alignment, and memorization of positions cannot be trained.
The only one who can be trained can only stand in a military posture.
To stand at attention, you don't need to see things clearly, align yourself, or move around. You just need to stand in a standard posture and just stand there without moving.
The recruit instructor held a torch and shuttled among the three rows of queues.
Although the torch cannot provide the firelight for the whole team training, it is enough to allow the recruit instructor to see the details of each person's standing movements.
The recruit instructor turned around and was extremely dissatisfied.
"Let me tell you, stop here, stand at attention, keep your head straight, your neck straight, and your arms open. Don't shrink like a chicken. And your hands, they are hanging down, put them down, and put your palms against your thighs.
My legs must be straightened, not bent or moved.
As for your feet, your heels are leaning against each other. Do you understand?"
No one responded to the new recruits.
The recruit instructor pressed his ears, feeling unhappy, "Damn it, do you understand?"
The recruit instructor roared.
Someone explained it clearly, but most people still didn't talk to them.
"I have to explain it clearly to you. If I ask you if you understand, you have to tell me that you understand. Who wants to open your mouth and try it!"
As the saying goes, once the power is in hand, orders will be carried out.
These recruit instructors were the targets of training before and were scolded like Sun Tzu.
Now that I have turned around, I still have about thirty people in charge, including quite a few recruit instructors. It is amazing that I feel like I have great power.
During the training, the recruit's instructor spoke in a low voice and was scolded horrendously.
Now, the people under his command are also not talking to each other, and the recruit instructors are also yelling curses.
This moment is just like that moment.
After the recruits were scolded a lot.
The instructor asked again if he understood.
When I answered again this time, everyone finally spoke sparsely.
The instructor was still unhappy. He stood in front of the queue with one hand on his waist and swept the torch in his hand. "Didn't you eat? Ah? Louder!"
A powerful recruit instructor can torment his subordinates.
How did Li Mengxi torment the first batch of 40 Qingjin soldiers, how did the 40 Qingjin soldiers torment the third batch of 1,600 people, and now how do the 1,600 instructors torment more than 30,000 people?
It's passed down from generation to generation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is an instructor here asking the recruits to yell back. When Li Mengxi and Liu Bei passed by, the roar was deafening.
Keep moving forward.
When we meet each new recruit team, most of the time, we encounter the recruit instructors training the recruits.
Just train people right. During the first training of new recruits, there will definitely be mistakes everywhere.
On the contrary, if it is a quiet new army, there will definitely be problems.
Whenever they encountered a quiet recruit team, Li Mengxi and Liu Bei went over to see what the instructors were doing and why they were silent.
Usually at this time, it's the instructor's problem. The instructor's level is lacking. Although they have gone through a round of training, some people don't know how to pass on what they learned in the training to others.
Every time this happens, Li Mengxi and Liu Bei have to waste a lot of time. They have to go over and give point by point instructions on how to teach them from scratch.
As I continued further, I met people who were better at practicing along the way.
Some people who have practiced well have drawn up the queue well and taught them how to stand at attention.
When Liu Bei and Li Mengxi arrived, the recruit instructors were yelling at people.
"Move! Move the hell again!" The instructor held a torch and walked up to one person, the two-necked guy.
The man felt aggrieved and said, "I stood still and couldn't move."
"Mu Dong? Why are you scratching your head?"
"itch……"
"Itchy? Damn it!" the recruit instructor yelled angrily.
"Let me tell you! You are not allowed to move. It doesn't mean that you stand still or that you don't move. You have to stand like a stone! You are not allowed to move even a finger!"
The content of the instructor's lecture was exactly the same as what Li Mengxi once explained when he explained what it means to stand at attention and what military posture is.
The rebel camps were lined up along the road for several miles, and it took almost half an hour from the tail to the head.
Turning back again, it took another half an hour.
After one round of inspection, the training should be over.
The cavalrymen were ordered to run out and call for each team to stop training and take a rest.
Li Mengxi and Liu Bei stood on the roadside, watching the military training everywhere change from lively to quiet.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Xi'er, if we continue like this for a few more nights, we will be out of firewood."
Chai is really troublesome.
This training only lasted for more than an hour, and each team was given only two pieces of wood to more than a thousand new recruits. This time, more than two thousand pieces of hard wood were used.
The scale of military training has increased, and wood cannot be consumed anymore.
If the wood runs out, there will be no firewood for cooking.
