The Marines had all participated in the landing operation in Fernando de Noronha Islands, so they knew what the so-called new assault rifles were. When they heard this, they all looked at them sideways, unable to conceal their expectant eyes.
It was not until this moment that everyone really understood the special nature of this team. At this point, let alone asking them to leave on their own initiative, it was estimated that they would not be able to leave even if they were driven away. As for the fact that the training would be very hard? Being a soldier means putting your head on the belt to make a living. You don't even want to die, but you are afraid of hardship.
But the soldiers obviously underestimated how hard the training would be.
Just when everyone was still feeling smug about wearing brand new camouflage uniforms, the new training content officially began. The first thing that started was physical training. Everyone was fully armed and started the armed cross-country race on the first day of selection.
The requirements at the beginning were the same as during the selection, but as time went on, everyone finally understood what "the easiest time is always yesterday" meant.
For the same armed cross-country mission, the time required for the mission is getting shorter every day, which forces them to desperately squeeze out their potential.
Later on, the armed cross-country was no longer just an armed cross-country. From time to time, sudden attacks would occur during the march. If they did not make corresponding tactical actions in time, everyone would have to face a new additional training program.
In addition to the routine armed cross-country training for each person, there is also a three-day and two-night 200-kilometer long-distance forced march training, etc., a series of training contents that were never dared to be thought of before.
After completing the regular training, there will be jungle concealment training. Fifty people will be divided into two teams to carry out concealment and search tasks respectively.
...
...
The two sides kept exchanging roles in the designated area of the Amazon rainforest, engaging in a skills competition. In just two weeks, their ability to hide in the jungle had reached the point where you couldn't even find them if they were squatting next to you.
Of course, this is inseparable from the excellent stealth effect of the new camouflage training uniform. At the same time, Fang Lang also discovered the advanced version of the camouflage uniform during the training process - the ghillie suit.
The crowd used simple tools such as fishing nets and looked for different camouflage materials in different hiding positions to make themselves completely invisible.
After everyone's concealment capabilities met Fang Lang's requirements, he began to organize prisoner capture, sentry sneaking, and assassination training. Everyone was divided into groups and conducted confrontation drills. There was no script, and all of them tested their personal strength.
In this situation, everyone began to think of various ways to achieve their goals. First of all, the requirements for hand-to-hand combat ability began to increase.
To this end, Fang Lang began to organize everyone to practice a one-hit-kill close combat technique. Because they had the foundation of Bajiquan practice, they were also exposed to some Wing Chun moves.
Fang Lang began to summarize a professional fighting technique similar to the later Israeli Krav Maga.
It removes all the complicated routines and emphasizes simplicity and efficiency, striving to quickly defeat and kill the opponent. All the movements are aimed at the enemy's vital parts, such as the neck, eyes, and lower body.
This was very hard on the soldiers, as injuries due to lack of strength during confrontations happened frequently, so Fang Lang had to find a way to make special protective gear for everyone.
In order to enable everyone to truly kill with one strike, Fang Lang also asked the military doctor to teach everyone about the structure of the human body, which parts would be fatal if touched, and which parts would make people lose their ability to resist directly.
So that everyone can better cope with different task requirements.
After the unarmed combat training, they began to learn the use of short weapons such as daggers. After all, these cold weapons are often needed for sentry raids and assassinations.
In addition to daggers, everyone also learned how to use blowguns from Amazon hunters, as well as how to collect various common jungle venoms.
Fang Lang also introduced the crossbow into the research team as one of the means of killing the enemy covertly.
The equipment and training of hot weapons are also absolutely unique. Not only can everyone be equipped with the latest G3 assault rifles and MP5 submachine guns, but each person can also choose one or two self-defense pistols of their own.
With the addition of equipment such as grenades and anti-personnel mines, the weight on the soldiers of a special tactics research team increased significantly, and everyone finally understood the purpose of weighted cross-country training.
In order to make up for the lack of firepower of the assault team, a new type of general-purpose machine gun specially developed and designed, which had just been completed in trial production, was also sent here for testing.
In order to make it easier for soldiers to carry more ammunition and equipment, Fang Lang invented tactical vests and tactical backpacks during training. Unfortunately, there was no breakthrough in bulletproof materials, so Fang Lang could only equip everyone with steel bulletproof plates inside the tactical vests.
This greatly increased the soldiers' marching load, and many people were unwilling to carry heavy bulletproof plates.
When the soldiers put on the full set of equipment, Fang Lang felt that the special tactics research team he had truly possessed the prototype of a modern special forces unit.
A steel helmet wrapped in camouflage cloth, colorful oil paint on his face, a full set of camouflage training uniforms, jungle combat boots, a camouflage tactical vest on his upper body, and a tactical backpack on his back.
There was a self-defense pistol inserted on the chest of the tactical backpack in front of him, with the handle facing the lower right, which was obviously the most convenient position for the soldiers. There was also a pistol inserted on one of his thighs.
The soldiers held assault rifles, submachine guns, or general-purpose machine guns across their chests. The temperament of this team is completely different from most of the current troops.
This forced Fang Lang to nod his head seriously. It turned out that all the training during this period was not in vain.
The leader of this special tactical research team was handed over to Fang Lang's childhood friend Zhuang Xintian. Who told him to give up his position as the second battalion commander of the Marine Corps and join this little-known special tactical research team?
At this moment, Zhuang Xintian was looking at the members of the tactical research team with a serious face.
"This is the first actual combat exercise since our group was established, and our opponents are the Marines, who we are all very familiar with. We all come from here and are very familiar with each other, so I will not introduce them in detail.
The mission goal this time is..."
Zhuang Xintian pointed his finger at a point on the map on the wooden table in front of him and said:
"Decapitation of the Marine Corps' Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Duarte, and destruction of the entire Marine Corps headquarters.
Now everyone, share your thoughts!"
The characteristic of the Navy Special Tactics Research Group is that there is no one-man show. Before the war, everyone can express their opinions, and after everyone has finished discussing, the best plan will be selected for implementation.
When taking action, you must strictly obey the commander's orders and no independent action is allowed.
Therefore, Zhuang Xintian must collect everyone's ideas before starting the war.
As a veteran, Rez Vázquez was the first to speak. After some time of training in the special tactics research team, he had become accustomed to this atmosphere.
After all, even the training content is discussed, planned, implemented, and finally summarized, suggestions for improvement are put forward, and then new plans are formulated and implemented.
This is a complete closed loop. Everyone must participate in it and develop the habit of thinking. They must also be clear about the purpose of doing so, how to achieve this goal, what to pay attention to during implementation, and what are unexpected situations and how to avoid them.
"We are all from the Marine Corps, and we all know that the Marine Corps' combat effectiveness is not bad. If we attack head-on, we will definitely have no chance. We can only resort to a sneak attack.
I suggest taking advantage of the darkness before dawn, sneaking into the barracks and beheading them directly."
Immediately, a soldier next to him raised an objection.
"In this case, it would be easy for us to decapitate Lieutenant Colonel Duarte, but we would have no chance of destroying the entire command.
After all, they are all resting at night, and we simply cannot catch them all at once."
Another soldier spoke up:
"Why don't we just use mortars to bombard the entire headquarters from a long distance?"
"No, the mortars have a limited firing range, and it's easy for the Marines to discover our whereabouts. By then, we'll have already alerted them before they even start firing, and it will be difficult for us to determine their location if the command center is moved. And we won't be able to confirm the damage effect at all."
"I think it would be better to put on the Marine Corps uniform and sneak into the barracks through the main gate. When we get to the headquarters, we can launch a surprise attack."
"We can't do that. We are all from the Marine Corps. We know that this exercise is a confrontation between us and them. If the soldiers recognize us, we will be trapped."
"That's right! If we rush in like this, we won't even have a chance to retreat. Even if we complete the mission, we will be surrounded by the Marines in the camp."
"Yes, I think it's better for us to sneak in secretly."
After hearing what everyone said, Rez Vazquez lowered his head and thought for a while before saying:
"Since the secret infiltration method is the most suitable, then night combat is definitely the most concealed. Now everyone is worried about the enemy's problem that the command center cannot be concentrated. If that's not possible, why don't we create an opportunity for them to concentrate?
We have more than fifty people, and the offensive team does not need so many people. Just one assault team is more than enough.
The remaining people can be divided into two or three groups, one group is responsible for feinting to attract the attention of the Marines and get their headquarters moving, and the other group is responsible for covering the retreat of the assault group. "
Soon another soldier spoke up to refute.
"This will allow their headquarters to be centralized, but the entire military camp will also be mobilized. Our assault team may be blocked directly in the military camp by the enemy and will not be able to carry out the task of destroying the headquarters.
Even the decapitation operation will lose its chance."
Rez Vázquez was not angry when he heard this, but nodded deeply, agreeing with the other party's opinion. At the same time, his brain began to think about what to do.
Zhuang Xintian, who had long been accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, was not angry at all when he saw this. Instead, he felt very relaxed. Such pre-war discussions were really convenient. They could turn one person's ideas into a discussion for everyone and pool their wisdom.
This is much more reliable than the commander making a decision on a whim. It's an advanced version of "three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang". What's more, these people are not just cobblers. Almost all of them are veterans who have experienced many battles.
He has his own unique sense of battlefield and is able to discover loopholes in the plan in time and fill them up.
More importantly, everyone knows why the battle plan we discussed should be followed, and even if unexpected situations arise, they can find ways to remedy the situation themselves.
That is what Fang Lang said. Don't fight a dull battle. Learn to adapt to circumstances. When the enemy changes, I can change faster than he does.
At the same time, he was thinking hard about what method he should use. As everyone discussed, a vague battle plan gradually became clear in his mind.
Some accidents and loopholes that are prone to occur were gradually brought up through discussions among the soldiers.
Only then did he say with a smile on his face:
"In that case, we can do this... this... and then this..."
As he spoke of his plan, smiles appeared on everyone's faces. Because this plan was slowly formed through everyone's discussion just now, there was no need to explain it in detail, everyone was very clear about the details of this plan.
