War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 192 Ambush Training (Thanks to 'Book Friends' for the reward)
"Everyone take note!"

"The five principles of ambush tactics are: 1. Concealment of position; 2. Timing; 3. Military superiority; 4. Speed ​​of surprise attack; 5. Comprehensive control!"

"First, the ambush position must be chosen within the range of guns with cover and easy concealment;"

"Secondly, the timing should be chosen when the enemy is unprepared and I am well prepared;"

"Finally, from the decisive and precise strike when the first shot is fired, to the complete destruction of the enemy's manpower and then to the cleaning up of the battlefield, the word 'fast' must be emphasized. There must be no dragging of feet!"

The 217th Regiment began training. The content of the training was ambush, which even ordinary military fans thought was superficial. This time Xu Chaoyang did not require the troops to conduct any basic quality training. After explaining the rough theoretical knowledge of "ambush tactics", he led the entire regiment to carry out the selection of ambush terrain, the training of ambush concealment, and the firepower coordination under the existing firepower of the entire regiment.

In the wilderness outside Duolun, Xu Chaoyang explained the essentials of ambush according to the local terrain, explaining how a battalion should be dispersed into company-level units, how a company should be dispersed into platoon-level units, and how a platoon should be dispersed into class-level units. The squad leader then led a small number of soldiers who could be easily controlled to quickly enter the ambush point.

He did not talk nonsense or brag, but started with the most practical tactical actions. Finally, he explained the firepower coordination during an ambush.

Therefore, from the very beginning when they entered the ambush site, the soldiers were like a flock of sheep scattered all over the mountains. Under the conscious control of the squad leader, platoon leader and company commander, and after a whole day of tactical action drills, they had a preliminary understanding of the battlefield, the trenches and the ambush points in their minds, and it was already obvious that there were differences in the levels of the soldiers entering the ambush points.

Just for this little thing, Xu Chaoyang screamed for a whole day;
It was only by Chang Zhan, who chased after each person, squad, and platoon with a whip and kicked them while holding their ears and shouting at them, that the soldiers of the 217th Regiment learned how to use these things.

"That's all for today. Everyone, hurry up and run back to the barracks!"

When the soldiers, who were tired after a day's work, heard Xu Chaoyang's hoarse voice, they all widened their eyes. They could never have imagined that after rolling in the dirt for a day, they would have to run back, but Xu Chaoyang had to train like this!

"Run, walk!"

The 217th Regiment was brought back to Duolun, but Xu Chaoyang's training plan did not change after dawn the next day.

The next morning, the entire 217th Regiment simply moved to a completely different ambush terrain outside the Duolun wilderness, and continued to practice the entire process from discovering the ambush point to entering the ambush point. During this period, it took Xu Chaoyang and Chang Zhangguang eight days to correct the soldiers' wrong thinking of "finding a place to lie down casually"!

These eight days were really exhausting for the whole team. They never thought that they, who were scolded by Xu Chaoyang all day long, would become instructors one day...

Of course, the characteristic of running back was always maintained. From the ninth day after the training started, Xu Chaoyang even added a "running out" training. That is to say, the 217th Regiment started marching and running from the moment they left the city to find a training ground, and they would run back again.

Up to this point, Wang Changhai, who had secretly watched the training several times, still didn't understand what Xu Chaoyang was going to do. Logically, they should practice more position defense in Duolun, even if it's just a matter of practicing street fighting, so why are you practicing ambushes?
Xu Chaoyang did not have any explanation for this. Instead, the troops had a preliminary impression of "ambush" in their minds. After they knew how many people should be deployed in an area and how much firepower should be allocated to achieve the best effect, normal training began to take shape.

"I command!"

"The entire regiment advances stealthily and quickly enters the ambush site!"

On the tenth day, Xu Chaoyang became the chief instructor of the 217th Regiment. He finally gave the 217th Regiment some form of training. The companies, platoons and squads had already formed a preliminary impression of an ambush and were able to quickly and reasonably arrange personnel deployments based on the terrain. The company, platoon and squad leaders began to no longer rely on the orders and urging of Xu Chaoyang, Chang Zhan and the soldiers of the first company, and took the initiative to provoke the mistakes made by their subordinates.

"Ergou, lie down a little to the east. There's a huge rock in front of you blocking your view. You can't see!"

"First row, spread out a little bit. You are all crowded together. If a shell hits, how many people will die?"

"Squad Three, you guys are pulling your reins in a straight line on the curved dirt slope. Are you used to going into trenches? You have to go straight and level! Two people from your squad are missing, and you can't see them!"

Don't think that everyone is smart. Some people really stick to the rules, and some people can expose all kinds of common sense mistakes during training. You can make all kinds of mistakes, just like leaving your brain in the barracks before training and being alone. "Chang Zhan, how is this time?" Xu Chaoyang's voice was almost hoarse.

"Chaoyang, this time it's four minutes faster than last time."

Chang Zhan's voice had long since turned into that of a duck, and he always spoke in a chirping sound.

"Still slow!"

This time Chang Zhan was also confused: "Chaoyang, what on earth are you trying to do? How can a troop complete ambush training with the whole regiment coordinated in just half a month?"

Xu Chaoyang turned his head and glanced at him. He smiled without saying anything. He put his hands together and shouted to all the soldiers, "All company, platoon and squad leaders, take the soldiers back to the starting position and do it again according to the adjusted formation!"

"Ah? Are you still coming?"

"What's the problem?"

"Why does this have to happen again?"

"When exactly do we have to pull the trigger for shooting training?"

One by one, the listless soldiers were brought back to the starting point by the company, platoon and squad leaders. When a new round of training began, this time within Xu Chaoyang's field of vision, those rushing towards the ambush site were no longer a group of sheep. Instead, they were soldiers holding guns, crouching, stepping as fast as the wind, rushing into the ambush point, and lying there without paying any attention to how much smoke and dust were raised around them.

Seeing this, Xu Chaoyang nodded. He knew that this group of soldiers had obviously adapted after ten days of training and adjustment.

"Mr. Chang, we will proceed to the next step tomorrow."

"Chaoyang, just tell me why we always practice ambushes? I won't be able to sleep at night if you don't tell me!"

Xu Chaoyang put his arm around Chang Zhan's shoulders and shouted, "After the New Year, I will take you and the brothers with me to make a fortune!"

After saying this, Xu Chaoyang laughed happily. His happy look made Chang Zhan break free from his arms: "Don't laugh like that. It scares me."

"report!"

In the distance, a messenger was running towards Duolun.

"speak!"

"The regiment commander asked Instructor Xu to return to the regiment headquarters immediately, saying that there was something important to discuss."

Xu Chaoyang glanced at Chang Zhan, and the originally restrained smile slowly and rhythmically drew an arc from the corner of his mouth at a speed visibly slow to the naked eye. At that moment, he turned around gracefully, untied the warhorse from the tree beside him, and rode away.
