Chapter 2935
In the early morning of the next day, trumpets sounded one after another near the camp. When Zheng Agui was sleepy, he thought he was in Bangui's camp.But when he opened his eyes and saw the top of the tent, he remembered where he was right now.
Putting on his clothes and getting out of the tent, Zheng Agui found that the school yard was half empty when he moved in yesterday, but it was already full at this time.If one platoon is stationed in each big tent, there are about three battalions of people on the school field alone.
Moreover, the troops stationed here are obviously the same as the Bangui Camp, they were temporarily transferred from other places.Zheng Agui couldn't help but think to himself, the scale of the next operation in Manila must be huge with such a big fanfare.
Perhaps because of the haste, the water facilities and toilets prepared by the Cavite base for these troops are seriously insufficient.Fortunately, here are all soldiers who have undergone strict training, and they can still maintain good order, and they line up honestly.
"Squad leader, I just went to inquire. The troops camped next to us are mountain assault battalions transferred from Subic Bay. They seem to be very powerful troops."
While providing information to Zheng Agui, Qiu Yong pointed out to him the camp of that army.
Zheng Agui looked at the nearby camp, and it was easy to tell from the appearance of those soldiers that the proportion of Han people in that unit was much lower than that of Bangui Camp.Like Qiu Yong, most of the soldiers belonged to the Tagalog people with the largest population in Luzon Island, so Qiu Yong was able to get close.
There are also some soldiers with particularly short stature. Judging from their curly hair, they should come from the Negrito people in the mountains of northeastern Luzon Island. It is said that this ethnic group is a natural jungle hunter.
Although the physical condition and cultural level of these indigenous soldiers are not as good as those of the Han soldiers, but because they have lived here for generations, their ability to adapt to the environment is their inherent advantage. They perform operations in special environments such as mountains, jungles, and swamps. Missions are the strengths of these native soldiers, and their actual performance is far better than that of Han soldiers.
Of course, due to the influence of their growth background, the military discipline of these native soldiers is often far inferior to that of Han soldiers, and most of them cannot adapt to the environment of maritime combat, and their shortcomings are quite obvious.
Zheng Agui snorted and said: "The reputation of the mountain camp was earned by fighting with the Spaniards in the past. Now this group of people has never been on the battlefield like us, and they are not powerful. You will only know after fighting!"
Zheng Agui dared to comment on the mountain camp in this way, of course he also has confidence.As far as he knew, the position of the Mountain Battalion in the combat sequence in the Luzon region did not seem to be much higher than that of the Bangui Battalion.Now the elite of the army are the Manila Guards Battalion, Navy Amphibious Battalion, and Independent Cavalry Battalion. The mountain battalion is not yet ranked.
When he first joined the army, he also applied to join the nearby Manila Guards Battalion, but that army had extremely high requirements for the quality of the soldiers. Zheng Agui, as a farmer's son, although he was in good health, his cultural foundation was not good enough, so he was rejected in the first test Lost.In Zheng Agui's opinion, only troops with extremely high barriers to entry like the Guards Battalion can be called elites in the army.
After breakfast and finishing housework, it's time for daily training.However, several school grounds in the Cavite base have been arranged as temporary garrisons for foreign troops. Obviously there is not enough space for so many troops to practice.At present, the only training program that can be arranged for the temporary garrison troops is to run around the periphery of the base.
Run as long as you run, and the battalion commander of Bangui Battalion is also unambiguous, and the whole battalion must participate at the order.
But after this trip, they finally realized how big the Cavite base is.
According to the usual running speed, the soldiers ran for about ten miles in one breath, and the leading officer gave the order to stop and rest.Then he ran another ten miles in one breath before finally returning to the starting position.Although this trip was a march without a heavy load, the group of Bangui Camp was really exhausted after running for nearly thirty miles.
The daily training of the Bangui camp was far from reaching such an intensity. After the forced run, the soldiers lay down on the side of the road, looking very embarrassed.
As for the mountain camp where Zheng Agui was stubborn just now, after finishing this long-distance run, he just took a short rest at the same place, and soon lined up to return to the camp.When they passed the tired and paralyzed soldiers of Bangui Camp, some people laughed and ridiculed them, which really made Bangui Camp a little embarrassed.
Back at the camp, the dark-faced battalion commander canceled the arrangement for the whole battalion to visit the Cavite base, and asked all units of the battalion to sum up today's training situation.
"Sweat more in normal times and bleed less in wartime! You say the slogan every day, but you just don't take it to heart! You guys like to be lazy in training, and when you go to the battlefield, you will behave like today!"
The company commander pointed at the squad leaders under him and scolded them one by one, mercilessly.After all, when he went to report to the battalion commander later, he would be the one being scolded, so let him vent his anger here first.
Zheng Agui lowered his head, not daring to vent his breath.He has been in the army for more than a year, and it is the first time he has seen Lian Changfa become so popular.
But will scolding like this really solve the problem?Zheng Agui didn't think so.The usual training level of the Bangui Camp was like this, no matter how hard they scolded, they couldn't immediately turn the soldiers into supermen.Moreover, it was only at this time that I started to cram for the Buddha's feet temporarily, and it was unlikely that I would receive much good results.
The company commander scolded until his mouth was parched, and finally ordered the meeting to end, and asked the squad leaders to convey the spirit after returning.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zheng Agui approached the company commander, and asked in a low voice: "Company commander, you are so nervous, don't you really expect us to become elite overnight?"
The company commander scolded: "You know what a fart! Yesterday, the battalion commander talked all kinds of things, and finally asked for an independent combat mission from the headquarters. As a result, he came out for a run today and behaved like this. Do you think he can have a good face?"
Zheng Agui said in surprise, "Our battalion... wants to act independently?"
"If you fight well, everyone will have meritorious service. If you don't fight well, let's wait for bad luck together!" The company commander sighed a few words, and then said with a dark face: "Go back and watch the few recruits under your hands closely. What's wrong, you kid is the one who is responsible!"
Zheng Agui didn't dare to ask any more questions, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, but there was no doubt that this would greatly increase the risks that Bangui Camp would face during this trip.
Based on his understanding of his own troops, the combat power is acceptable for local security tasks. Solving the struggles between villages and eliminating some unfriendly indigenous tribes are the so-called military tasks carried out in the past period of time.And going to fight in unfamiliar areas, let alone himself, even the company commander may not have experience in this area.
Moreover, the specific tasks have not been assigned yet, and there is only a three-day rest period in total, leaving little time for Bangui Camp to prepare.
However, Zheng Agui's worries did not last long, and the headquarters sent people to Bangui Camp that afternoon to explain the combat missions they would be responsible for.
