People's Liberation Army in the forests for survival training

Make fire with a magnifying glass

"Five anti-training" for each of the officers and men must bear in mind.

Make fire with a magnifying glass From the beginning of this year, early in June, the Shenyang Military Region, a motorized infantry brigade into the primeval forest, which lasted more than two months the start of field survival training. Used as a mountain, plain operations, "the Northeast Army", in the deep forests in combat, the Department for many years been engaged in a not a new issue of the war. Even though they had made full preparations to enter the dense forest, or one after the accident was very confusing situation. Marching field: up to the "class" really a lot of On the first day bug "bite" was more than 100 officers and men Troops marching field is the most basic training is the most common subjects. However, the primeval forest in the field march, the officers and men of the brigade is the first time. I found that the officers and men each have ankle with a cloth belt truss, and the face, neck, hands full of add anti-virus medicine insect bites. Nevertheless, the accident still happened. Lin deep into force less than a mile when a bug landed BI Yi commander of the neck, then in the neck bite. Bi Lvzhang the back of the neck and a red and swollen, his fingers covered a large swelling on the skin of a bear, Qi Yang immense. Less than an hour of work, half of the face and arm began to numb, drug application regardless of the fundamental things. No way, the brigade commander had admitted to an emergency field hospital to deal with. I found that as commander, a field in the first day of the march, the brigade has 109 officers and men were all kinds of poisonous insect "bite" back. "Lin into the insect has become the first combat the enemy, we must find ways to deal with." Resting during the march, the brigade's party committee, "a group of people" to reflect in a timely manner. To remedy the situation, it is not too late. Leadership of the brigade from the deep forests in the old man brought in two and ask them to help identify poisonous insect, and asked his drug treatment. Then, for each trip, officers and men of the local re-issued a special anti-virus medicine for insect bites. Force also set a rule: the officers and men in the march to the mountains must truss neck with a towel, gloves, hat for Paul. In a few days after the march, did not appear to be insect bites. Jungle path stall "iron feet" On the third day into the primeval forest, known as "iron feet," said the motor speed of a well-known battery business, 6:00 in the morning received orders from higher levels, in two hours to reach 10 km outside the designated area, The "enemy" in the fight against fire. A business-range artillery officers and men all the way, has run. However, 3 hours later, the company has or has not reached the destination. "Iron feet" night run so slow? After the investigation that in the past, and even plain in the mountain battle, the soldiers carrying guns were used shoulder-fired missile with methods of the march, and in the deep jungle marching field, as the wooded, steep mountains, this Way to carry guns with shells almost step march. In an interview with the army when I see one of the officers and men with weapons in hand, and not a hand push lightly residence of the woods, crawling into a difficult position to the mountains. In order to the officers and men put his hands to "liberate" them to improve the speed of mobile units, the brigade immediately study the human production of weapons and equipment to carry the equipment. Subsequently, the officers and men of 3 days to develop a recoilless rifles he led a gun, shot a back seat, he led a mortar gun, the gun back seat with 6 major categories, such as multi-purpose back with 90 kinds of equipment. "Iron feet" were also restored the past glory. During the march, the "headquarters" lost 4th day, troops entered the dense forest to continue. Standing tall on the ridge, the basic command of the officers and men to see through a wooded valley, we can arrive less than two kilometers, is located halfway up the mountain command post. Can be expected beyond all that when they twists and turns along steep mountain road when it came to the addition of a mountain and found the area where the command post in the line of sight has disappeared. They map out a controlled only know that deviate from the march in the right direction. Then again return to the fold who have long been beyond the scheduled time of war. "In the absence of the enemy command post are lost, what will happen with the enemy? Moreover, instead of specialized training before sending the jungle combat experience in the study and learn from troops stationed in the South?" The matter has raised the head of the brigade A high degree of importance. However, the South to force the soldiers had to learn a bit helpless: to be taken over by the forces of the South, the South's experience in the north and sometimes with no matter. For example, through the forest, are broad-leaved forest in the South, the forest can pass as one kilometer or even a few kilometers away. Can be grown in the north are coniferous forests, 2 meters wide is the following five branches, leaves, less than 10 meters outside the basic perspective of the surrounding environment. GPS positioning system did not signal, take compass azimuth by road, but could not find reference to determine their own can not stand point. As a result, we can only along the rugged mountain road about the direction. When looking for the nearest high ground when the look-out, long ago found the wrong direction, the delay in the timing of operations. With the lessons of officers and men have changed in the past only to stare mountain forest walk, but easy to pass as much as possible to choose, back the "enemy" of the ridge line, at any time on the march route correction. At the same time, they march on the road all the high ground, Hill Project, and so I have been to facilitate the "enemy" of the ambush area, set up picket. Two days later, the basic command post to another once again prepared to transfer command post, the same through the dense forests, steep slopes, and so complicated geographical conditions, but no similar disorientation. They marched all the way all the way around the "go" to explore sum up, one after another to promote the use of forest land under the condition of one tree, snow, housing, determine position, the use of temples, rivers, lakes, such as the establishment of clear direction-standing point of approach, trying to find out along the The mountain, ridge, valley road in different routes, different slope and take bare hands, light, heavy style of the three methods of the march, demonstration of different terrain, different slope of the speed of the march. Field camp: a spate of unexpected Officers and men to live on the "tall houses" After a long distance, the troops camped at last. When a battalion commander, arrived at the designated area, to a series of laps has not planned in advance in accordance with the "home." I found that the higher level officers and soldiers to a camp designated camping areas, as a result of high mountains, dense Lin, deep grass, Podou, it is not even suitable for exclusive support for the unit's free tent site. In the open space in the region, the establishment of the camp, the military committed major errors: The vision is not easy to open the "enemy" attack, the warning is not easy to prevent, but also vulnerable to attack animals. Especially here too much moisture, if sleep on the floor directly, the risk of eczema, rheumatism. Battalion commander decided to convene the meeting of combat, combat readiness in accordance with the requirements of re-fighting organization, according to the terrain exercises. Jian Lai by the dry tree in dense forest in the light of local conditions to build the "tall houses", hammocks, the shanty. At the same time, they each will be "tall houses" to install a lightning rod; plastic sheeting lining the tall houses in the wall to prevent moisture, rain water intrusion. In this way, officers and soldiers of a battalion on the all-night live in the trees, comfortably slept. The other brigade, battalion also follow the example of a business, one field of tall houses, also an hammock in the tree.
