Chapter 75: Misunderstood Zhao Gang At the Houya training ground of the Pioneer Battalion. All the new recruits in the entire vanguard camp were gathered on the training ground, and Duan Peng, Sun Zhigang and Zhangye were responsible for their training. The training for new recruits in the Pioneer Battalion is different from that in other units. The training outline submitted by Qin Yangming is a training method suitable for the Eighth Route Army as a whole. It is a training method designed when most fighters cannot get adequate nutrition. But the vanguard battalion is different. Qin Yangming is strong enough to ensure that the soldiers get adequate nutrition. Therefore, the training of new recruits in the Pioneer Camp is very different from the training outline, and the training time in the training outline is compressed to one month and two months. As for the Pioneer Camp, it was a full three months. The first month was mainly about basic posture training and eating well.
That’s right, eat good food. Because many soldiers used to be farmers and might not be able to eat meat throughout the year. If they eat too much meat at one time, their bodies will not be able to bear it. The purpose of the first month is to allow the soldiers' bodies to adapt to eating meat so that they can accumulate enough nutrition for subsequent training. If the soldiers are forced to train without adequate nutritional support, then there may not be any major health problems in the early stages. But when they reach middle age, the bodies of these warriors will probably collapse. Without enough nutrition, the body will consume its own potential, overdrawing the future in exchange for present strength! Qin Yangming naturally couldn't do such a thing. He also wanted his soldiers to live to see the prosperity of their motherland. Therefore, the first month's basic training is the most comfortable training during the entire recruit training. Every day we just stand at attention and learn how to use guns. I attend classes in the evening, learn literacy and so on, and then just rest. In short, it accumulates some fat. But I didn’t feel that comfortable for the next two months. First it was normal running, and then separate training according to the warriors' talents. Those who are talented and in good physical condition can do weight training and fully armed cross-country training. Horse riding training, emergency weapons operation training, and various tactical actions. After a day of high-intensity training, most of the soldiers fell to the ground exhausted and could not bear it anymore. For example, at this moment, a large number of recruits were sitting on the ground in a very ungraceful manner, and some soldiers who still had some strength were beating their trembling legs. Qin Yangming looked at the soldiers on the ground shouting that they were tired, then the corners of his mouth curled up and he looked at Duan Peng beside him. Duan Peng understood instantly. "Whoa!"
A whistle sounded. Then a group of veterans rushed into the training ground with smiles on their faces. Some new recruits felt their scalps tingling when they saw the smiles of the old soldiers, and they always felt that no good would come of these old soldiers. "You, what are you going to do?!" "Commander, Commander!" "Instructor, instructor, help me!" "Brother Xu, brother, brother, I was wrong! Ouch!" More than forty soldiers from the assault platoon and more than fifty veterans were divided into groups of three. Each group was responsible for one recruit. After two people held down the recruit, the other veteran grabbed the other's legs with a smile. "Hey, kid, you are lucky. I will give you a massage myself. Don't move. You can only get up tomorrow after the massage. Otherwise, don't even think about getting up tomorrow!" The old soldier grabbed the opponent's legs with one hand and pressed and kneaded the opponent's calves hard according to the method Qin Yangming taught them. We all know how great it feels after a strenuous workout to have someone hold down your calves to help you remove the lactic acid. Anyway, now the recruit only felt an indescribable soreness and swelling feeling rushing from his legs to his head. "Ow!" "Squad leader, squad leader!" The new recruits shouted loudly, hoping to awaken the last bit of kindness in the old soldiers' hearts. The veterans naturally know how the recruits feel now, as they have been through the same thing before. At that time, Qin Yangming personally helped them to eliminate the acid. Qin Yangming was not as gentle as he was at that time. Qin Yangming could hold their calves with one hand. So Qin Yangming directly took two approaches at the same time, doubling the happiness. At that time, they also cried and begged for mercy like they do now. At that time, some of them thought it was unnecessary, so Qin Yangming didn't care. As a result, the guy was shaking while walking the next day and didn't even have the strength to hold chopsticks. "Captain, commander, help!" "Squad leader, I took your cigarette. I was wrong. Let me go!" "Good boy, it's really you!" "His tendons are too tight, help him loosen them up!" The new recruits whose turn it was not yet their turn looked at the miserable state of their companions and saw other old soldiers nearby deliberately saying that it would be even more painful later, and they were so scared that their faces turned pale. They had sad faces and were trying to leave the training ground, supporting each other.
But how could the veterans outside the training ground get what they wanted? These recruits are now covered in lactic acid, and they can be easily knocked to the ground with just a slight push. Moreover, some soldiers already have some massage skills at home, and these soldiers are sure that they have to endure this torture. I decisively compiled a more effective massage method and handed it in. The massage method currently used in the Pioneer Battalion was improved upon by everyone based on the massage methods submitted by the soldiers. More effective means more uncomfortable. The veterans on the training ground burst into laughter. Once upon a time, they were also being pressed and screaming on the training ground, and then Qin Yangming, Duan Peng and a few others laughed on the stage. Looking at the powerful howls of the new recruits in the training ground, Qin Yangming couldn't help but think of his own recruit training period. At that time, their recruit training directly used equipment to expel acid. Qin Yangming felt his calves trembling just thinking about that feeling now. "Is the medicinal bath for the kitchen team ready?" "Captain, don't worry. I have prepared the medicine according to your prescription. I guarantee that these new recruits will have a good sleep tonight and will be full of energy tomorrow." "The battalion commander, the political commissar and the regiment commander are here!" "Qin Yangming, what's wrong with you!" "Everyone stop it!" Zhao Gang heard the howling of the recruits when he was still outside the training ground. As soon as we entered the training ground, we saw all the new recruits lying on the ground, and a group of veteran soldiers were holding them down. "No, Commissar, this is massaging the recruits, not abusing them." As soon as Qin Yangming saw the situation, he realized that Zhao Gang must have misunderstood, and hurriedly began to explain. "Massage? How do you massage like that?! You move someone's legs apart to give them a massage?!" "Do you think I've never seen a massage?" "Is there such a training in the new recruits' training? Do you think I haven't read the training outline you wrote?!" "Political Commissar, Political Commissar, the training of the Vanguard Battalion is not in accordance with the training syllabus." Li Yunlong also followed at this time and quickly started to help explain. At the beginning, he was indeed shocked by the training Qin Yangming conducted. Then, after listening to Qin Yangming's explanation and realizing that there was indeed nothing wrong with the recruits and his own personal experience, he was sure that Qin Yangming was indeed not abusing the recruits. The monk who followed over understood something and said, "Political Commissar, Captain Qin, this is a training method. When I was in Shaolin Temple, the elders would give us massages like this after practicing martial arts."
"This doesn't hurt, but it's very uncomfortable and bloated." "But it feels so good after the massage. If I don't, I won't be able to get out of bed the next day." Zhao Gang was about to get angry, but after listening to Li Yunlong and the monk's explanation, he was a little skeptical and asked, "Is this also a training method? Why isn't it in the training outline?" "Political Commissar, training according to the training outline will not reach the level where massage is needed. And this massage is not something that can be done casually. There are methods." Qin Yangming listened to Zhao Gang's words and patiently explained: "My training method not only requires the consumption of a large amount of meat, but also requires the preparation of medicinal baths. Ordinary troops simply cannot afford this consumption." "Even in the New 1st Regiment, only soldiers who have been properly trained can carry out this level of training." “There is no way to promote it to the entire group.” "I was wondering why the soldiers in your vanguard camp only needed a short rest after a long raid to be as energetic as normal people. So this is the reason." Watching the training of the Vanguard Battalion, Kong Jie understood why all the soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion were full of energy and vigor the next day after the Chiyang Town operation. If it were the First Battalion, they wouldn't be able to recover their combat effectiveness without two days of rest. (End of this chapter)
