Although I have never been a commander-in-chief, at least I have seen the scenes of troop training in the camp, and I myself have been a soldier in training. So I should be able to get this thing almost right. I may not know how the ancient marching and fighting were, nor do I know all kinds of formations and tactics, but I have carried out missions and know what modern special forces do when they carry out missions. I know how modern battles are fought and how to encircle, suppress and capture. I am more or less good at this.
Therefore, not long after, Hu Lingshang helped me gather all the strong hyena people to gather outside the courtyard. Although she did not know sign language and could not communicate with the hyena queen Huahua language, she has always been unique in communication. Perhaps through a few actions, the hyena people have understood the situation and came forward enthusiastically.
When the hyena people came, there were only fifty-two people left in total. Then in the great battle two days ago, two of them died on the spot. Just now there were three seriously injured and barely alive below. Just now due to improper treatment, another one died. So now there are only forty-nine people left. Just now after coming up from the abyss, I took a quick look and there are only thirty-two men left. We have to exclude the five queen's guards who cannot be requisitioned. So in the end, only twenty-five can come up, and two are still seriously injured.
So after having a clear idea in mind, I waited for them to arrive, one by one, and in the end I counted them, and there were indeed twenty-five, not one more or one less, which showed that the hyena people were full of sincerity.
Among these twenty-five hyena men, seven were wearing armor, and the remaining eighteen were all wearing vine barks or animal furs to cover their bodies. It seemed that only seven of them were capable of fighting.
"All hyena people, although you can't understand what I'm saying, it doesn't matter much. As long as you know how to read orders and understand combat, you can still implement this roundup mission. This battle is related to the life and death of your people, the life and death of Zhou Bo and his group, and even more so the life and death of Zhang Yunwen. So we have the same goal and the same profound significance. Therefore, we can only win this battle and not lose. This is an important battle about the survival of the fittest. Whether we can protect our own lives and the lives of your people depends entirely on whether we can win this battle! Do you understand?" I shouted.
They looked at each other, but still made a humming sound. They didn't understand what was being said, but it didn't matter. They were of the same mind and shared the same hatred of the enemy, and that was enough for now.
So I walked over and started to arrange the team. First of all, according to my usual experience, I started with ten people in a group, and divided it into three groups. The last five people and I were temporarily counted as one group. The arrangement was as follows: there were seven hyena guards wearing armor. The first group had five armored hyenas, the second group had nine hyena men and one armored hyena guard, and the third group was the same as the second group.
The hyena guards of the second and third squads are the squad leaders, and the first squad has a deputy platoon leader who is also the deputy squad leader of the first squad. They usually take my orders directly. If they are faced with a single battle, they will obey the orders of the deputy platoon leader who is most capable of my arrangements. Naturally, I will also serve as the supreme commander. As for the arrangements, although it is a bit troublesome, they are not difficult to understand. They will understand after a little instruction.
First push the people one by one, one by one, and then they can arrange their respective positions to form three teams. At the front of each team stands the squad leader. Then use gestures to circle the people at the back of each team, and then point to the person at the front of each team and give a thumbs up. Then they will understand the size of the positions. Finally, use your hands to circle everyone, point to the deputy platoon leader, raise your thumbs up, and they will understand.
Finally, everyone in a circle pointed at me, raised their thumbs, looked at the deputy platoon leader, pointed at myself and raised their thumbs, and then it became clear. From then on, the team arrangement was proper, and the size of a platoon was barely unified, and everyone's positions were also temporarily allocated.
After arranging this, I began to note down the characteristics of each key subordinate. The squad leader of the second squad had an earring on his ear, the squad leader of the third squad had a scar under his eye, and my deputy, who was in charge of the elites of the first squad, was the biggest among them, more than 1.6 meters tall, standing out from the crowd in the team. In addition, his fangs were relatively prominent.
Therefore, I gave them all nicknames. I pointed at the squad leader of the second squad and shouted "Iron Ring" and gave him the thumbs up. He understood. When I shouted again, he made a humming sound. I taught him to shout "Iron Ring". Then I walked to his position, turned to the direction I had just been in and saluted. I shouted "Here" again and then returned to my original position. He seemed to understand and I shouted again: "Iron Ring".
The second squad leader followed suit and saluted, but it was not standard, and he shouted: "Shake~"
The voice was slippery and I almost laughed, but now it was a military training camp, so I had to be serious first, so I raised my thumb to it, and its eyes lit up.
When I came in front of the squad leader of the third squad, I repeated the same procedure, but I gave the squad leader of the third squad the nickname "Scar".
My deputy, the monitor of the first squad, was a big man, nicknamed "Big Fang."
In this way, they basically remembered their own names. I trained them back and forth several times, and they remembered them by heart and would shout "here". In this way, by controlling and deploying these three people, I can basically control the strength of the entire platoon, ensure that orders are passed down, be organized and disciplined, be able to divide work and operations, obey orders, and win battles.
Next, relying on this simple way of understanding, I began to teach them the hand gestures of the special forces. This is very difficult and requires repeated practice, and I have to make sure that they can remember it, so it cannot be mastered in one day. However, I only need to teach them one of the three hand gestures, and then let them teach the squad they are in charge of, and it will be considered one step completed.
Time is limited, so I only taught a few simple and practical ones, such as advance, cover, stop, single column, horizontal column, assembly, door, window, hostages, etc. These are basically sufficient if there are no special situations in field battles. The rest of the time is spent on constant drills and review to ensure that everyone can remember them.
While I was rehearsing, Hu Lingshang came. She walked lightly, holding the battle flag in her hand. She came in front of me and said with a smile, "Master Coach is so impressive."
I smiled at her as well, but I still had to be as upright as possible in the military camp and not be too frivolous in front of my soldiers, otherwise it would easily develop a bad military style, so I didn't say much, but just asked, "Did Bai Lu go for treatment?"
She nodded and said, "I have obediently treated the two seriously injured people. Now they are no longer in danger of death and can survive for the time being."
"That's good." I said.
At this moment, I could still clearly see the eye-catching bloodstains on the flag. Thinking of Yunwen's tragic death in front of me, my fingers could not help but tightly grasp the flagpole, causing it to creak. I sighed and couldn't help asking, "You really hid Yunwen's body to suppress her spirit consciousness, right?"
Hu Lingshang hesitated for a moment, but it was gone in an instant, and she said, "Whether Zhou Lang believes me or not, the only way to help sister Yunwen now is to go to war, isn't it?"
I nodded, without any criticism, and slowly loosened my grip, and the flagpole stopped making any more noise.
“Big Fang,” I yelled, then stretched out my arms, clenched my fingers, and swung them toward my body.
The hyena squad leader, Big Fang, saluted and shouted, then walked towards me. I handed the flag to him, and he looked it up and down. I waved my hand, and he immediately returned to the team.
Then I asked Big Fang to turn around, and had all the hyena people face the battle flag. I taught them to clench their fists with their thumbs raised and crossed in front of their chests, and kneel on one knee. This is the Dragon-Seeking Ceremony of the Dragon-Seeking Camp. With this battle flag, our battle camp has a military soul. From now on, we are connected by blood, share the same life, live and die together, and fight to defend this battle flag.
I also performed the Dragon-Seeking Ceremony, kneeling on one knee in front of the battle flag, and said, "Yunwen, don't worry. I, Zhou Bo, said that I would protect your life and let you live, and I must do it and never break my promise. In addition, I will definitely avenge the heinous crime that guy committed against you, a thousand times and a hundred times! This battle is for you!"
