Chapter 464 West Water Military Academy!
Cole nodded repeatedly through the translation. For the long-term implementation of the military atmosphere of iron and blood, he agrees with this military concept of victory without arrogance and defeat.
"Two squadron captains stay, and the others disband!" Under the order of Chen Jiaju, the team left in an orderly manner.
Fan Yitong and Xiao Potian's expressions were serious, but the uncontrollable excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
Chen Jiaju is also warm in his heart. For more than a year, he has really ignored these two brothers. Well, it seems that the two of them are in good spirits!
It's interesting that such a randomly selected confrontation squadron is these two guys. Well, their return to Kuching from Sandakan this time should be the same for this time.
Speaking of the change of the armed forces of Zhongyitang, it is still Chen Jiaju's idea for many reasons, but it is mainly to gather these excellent tops scattered all over the country, so that they can study in the upcoming Zhongyitang's own military academy.
Xishui Military Academy, this common name makes Chen Jiaju have a flash of association in his heart.
West Water Military Academy!
Hey hey, the military academy that has never appeared in this era is just a word different from the famous West Point Military Academy in later generations. I believe that with the efforts of myself and the group behind me, I will definitely create a louder name!
"Fan Yitong, Xiao Potian, you two come here. This is Instructor Cole. You review the content of the exercise just now!" Chen Jiaju cleaned up his mood and said lightly.
The two fat people had a standard salute, Cole returned the salute, and everyone gathered around a simple sand table before reviewing.
"Well, you are the commander in charge of the attacking side, right? Tell me, after you reached the designated position after an urgent march, why didn't you attack directly, but paused?" After listening to the descriptions of Fan Yitong and Xiao Potian's respective situations, Cole went straight in and asked his own questions.
Although Cole appreciated Fan Yitong's subsequent victory, he was obviously still very concerned about the pause and hesitation of the attacking side at the beginning.
"Yes, Instructor Cole!" Fan Yitong saluted in high spirits.
Reaching out to take over the handed whip, Fan Yitong pointed to the terrain on the sand table and said loudly, "After our squadron arrived at the designated place as planned, our short rest is based on the following factors."
"One, after nearly 30 kilometers of marching, the brothers have reached a certain limit physically. I think it is necessary to make a short rest adjustment. Because at this time, the enemy has arrived first. Although we don't know when the other party will arrive, it is obviously not a good choice to attack rashly in this situation where the enemy is unknown!"
"Second, as the commander of the attacking side of this exercise, I noticed that the position situation of the defenders is actually very unfavorable to the attacking side. Although the highland was not too long before, there was a vast open land. If you attack rashly, you will definitely make great sacrifices. And this sacrifice may not be able to achieve predictable results!"
Cole obviously didn't expect that the seemingly inconspicuous and even slightly bloated guy in front of him talked one after another. Well, it seemed to make sense to taste it carefully.
"Is there anything else?" Cole's poker face has always been as usual, but Chen Jiaju clearly saw that he had clearly expressed his admiration.
"Yes, Instructor Cole!" Fan Yitong continued, "The third is that through careful observation, I found that the deployment of the defensive position focuses on the front, and the rear of the position is obviously weak. And that's why I used a small force to detour to the rear of the position. It turned out that my judgment was correct.
Cole, who was slightly bald, didn't say anything for a long time, just stared at the sand table for a long time.
"What about you? Tell me your thoughts and listen to them. Cole turned to Xiao Potian, who was beating uneasy in his heart.
"Yes!" After Xiao Potian also saluted, he maintained a standard military posture.
"Report instructor, I think the failure of our squadron's exercise mission is mainly due to my superstitiousness about the lethality of heavy firepower on the enemy. In addition, I am confused by the pretending of the attacking party, resulting in the defeat of the defensive position I deployed by two sides."
Cole had a smile in his eyes. He was very interested in these two young people with different styles but with good military qualities.
"Comment!"
Before the sand table, everyone who experienced each other silently, a spirit, all stood upright, so the military appearance quite made Cole nod and satisfied.
"First of all, I am satisfied with the wonderful performance of the two exercise commanders just now. You must know that the results of the exercise are not the most important. The important thing is to constantly find problems through exercises close to actual combat, so as to correct them in daily training."
"Of course, everyone's performance in the exercise was very unexpected. What I didn't expect was that the performance of the two exercise commanders could be so high. Especially Mr. Fan Yitong, whose performance is very amazing. With such a broad battlefield vision and flexible mobile tactics, I dare to assert that Mr. Fan Yitong's future achievements are unlimited!"
After Fan Yitong heard the translation of Cole's praise for him word by word, he grinned. The stinky appearance made Xiao Po's weather next to him full of dissuppressing.
"Finally, I want to say to Mr. Chen, it's great! When I didn't come here, I was still a little worried about the students I was going to face. In my subconscious, many students must have just changed from civilians. I'm afraid they are far from a qualified soldier.
Cole looked at the relieved people with emotion and said with a wry smile, "It turns out that I'm wrong!" Please don't mind my rudeness just now!"
Chen Jiaju waved his hand and stopped Cole's words and said, "Mr. Cole, you don't have to do this! We all admire your professionalism and dedication. Besides, you're right. During the exercise, these stinky kids are indeed full of loopholes! Mr. Cole's ability to point out these problems in the first place is an illustration of your value!"
Slowly staring at the crowd around the sand table, Chen Jiaju said in a low voice, "The exercise just now, as Instructor Cole said, has some highlights, but in general, it still exposes a real problem that everyone has not noticed!"
"What's the problem? That is to change from an excellent soldier to an excellent grassroots officer!"
Everyone was shocked, and immediately it was clear that it was true!
