Chapter 350: Joint Forces Training
This time, South China will send 3,000 soldiers to join the ASEAN Alliance Army, while the rest of the members will come from countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, northern Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia.
However, due to the domestic situation in the Philippines and Thailand, they only sent a symbolic number of several hundred people, and the main force is still in South China, North Indonesia and Malaysia.
Due to the US's stance, Thailand and the Philippines dare not send too many personnel to participate in the strike against India, but they cannot not participate in ASEAN's collective decision-making this time, so they had to show their appreciation.
As for Laos and Cambodia, although they wanted to send more troops, there were not many soldiers in their country that met the requirements, so they were just there to make up the numbers in this operation.
As for the equipment of the joint forces, Nanhua approached Myanmar and asked it to bear the cost and equipped it with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.
Although Myanmar feels a little distressed, since the money is borrowed with domestic mineral resources as collateral, a little more does not matter.
And the responsibility for repayment lies with the next prime minister, so there is no need to worry too much now.
In order to facilitate the transportation of soldiers sent by various countries, Nanhua sent dozens of airships to various countries to pick up soldiers.
As these soldiers arrived in Nanhua, they were placed in the air force base.
This place is spacious and confidential, making it suitable for training.
These soldiers need to receive training here for a period of time to improve their combat effectiveness and coordinated combat capabilities.
Wang Ze is well aware that the combat effectiveness of these soldiers from Southeast Asian countries varies, and he is not at all confident about their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, he would never send them directly to the battlefield.
If this failure is caused by poor personnel, the plan to establish ASEAN military integration will be shattered and the entire ASEAN organization will be despised by other countries.
South China hopes to resist pressure from the United States and the Soviet Union through ASEAN integration, so this step cannot be missed.
This time the joint army is not just for victory, otherwise it would be easy for South China to win by sending troops directly. What Wang Ze wants is for all ASEAN countries to participate.
When the soldiers arrived, they began to receive basic formation training.
These soldiers must understand basic Chinese instructions. Although other countries have sent officers who know Chinese, in order to ensure smooth command, soldiers still need to master some Chinese commands.
The instructors sent by Nanhua are all military elites, and they are all old action team members who have activated their pineal glands.
These people have served in the army for a long time and are already accustomed to a straightforward approach, and they themselves are highly skilled in martial arts.
When facing soldiers from Southeast Asian countries, if someone disobeyed orders, the instructors would not hesitate to use sticks to educate them.
Not convinced? Then just go to the arena and fight! This has become a daily routine for these soldiers.
In the end, the instructor actually started to challenge the entire team alone.
Within a few days, these soldiers looked up to these instructors as if they were gods.
Chinese commands became the focus of their learning, and they progressed rapidly.
The reason is simple: if you don't understand the Chinese instructions, you will be beaten with a stick.
No one can stand being beaten every day.
Since I can't resist, the only choice is to force myself to study.
This learning speed is the envy of people in the education bureau.
They had been teaching the people of Sumatra for some time, but what these soldiers learned in just a few days pales in comparison.
However, even if they saw this method of education, they would not try it.
Putting aside the ethnic and political issues, they don’t have any instructors who can fight against a group of people alone.
Myanmar and India have never been able to reach a reconciliation despite the mediation of the United States.
Especially after Myanmar gained the support of ASEAN, its attitude became increasingly tough and it was unwilling to give in, even demanding compensation from India for the invasion.
Nehru had lost interest in peace negotiations by this time and shifted his attention entirely to military action.
The Indian military has begun recruiting new soldiers on a large scale and has transported 50,000 soldiers to Akyab.
At the same time, ships continued to deliver equipment and supplies to support war preparations.
At the same time, Myanmar also took similar actions, but they were waiting for the arrival of the ASEAN joint forces.
In the joint military headquarters, Wu Si served as the supreme commander, while officers sent by other countries were in a subordinate position.
At a joint military meeting, Wu Si made it clear that he had supreme command and that the other nations could only make suggestions.
This means that the management of soldiers from various countries is controlled by Nanhua.
Officers from various countries had received special instructions when they were dispatched, so they did not react strongly to this matter and readily accepted the arrangement.
After a week of intensive training, a large number of trucks drove into the air force base.
Soldiers from various countries have received the XQ002 rifle, an improved small-caliber rifle that is very suitable for soldiers in Southeast Asia.
It is impossible to gather more than 20,000 people together for firearms training, especially since many of them had previously used semi-automatic firearms. In order for them to adapt to Nanhua's automatic rifles, a lot of practice is required.
They divided the soldiers into small teams and trained them separately in the open spaces and jungles around the military base.
Wu Si adopted a simple and crude method: using bullets to accumulate experience.
He ordered his soldiers to fire continuously from morning till night, with an unlimited supply of bullets.
In this way, although every soldier's shoulders would become red and swollen due to long-term shooting, their familiarity with guns was greatly improved.
However, the ammunition consumption caused by this high-intensity training is also astonishing.
In just three days, nearly 200 million bullets had been consumed!
This number is enough to make the armies of other countries far behind.
In some countries, soldiers even consume less ammunition in a year than they use in training in a day.
The huge costs incurred by these trainings were naturally borne by the South China government and included in Myanmar's repayment account.
After the firearms training was completed, the intensity of daily training was reduced and the focus shifted to training in command execution.
Various marching drills and trench digging exercises are required to give these indigenous soldiers a clear understanding.
Although it is just paper talk at the moment, it is much better than rushing into the battlefield without any clue.
It is impossible to teach them a large number of training subjects in a short period of time, so Wu Si can only choose to focus on what these people learn.
Nanhua's three thousand soldiers were also trained here, and their quality far surpassed that of these natives.
Under Wu Si's arrangement, the Nanhua warriors are at least at the team leader level. These Nanhua warriors will become the backbone of this dispatch, responsible for leading these natives to execute every order.
Equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles and artillery were almost entirely operated by Nanhua soldiers, while other indigenous personnel who were eliminated during training would follow the heavy armored troops to perform logistical work such as carrying artillery shells.
These soldiers are the best in their respective countries, but even though they are equally excellent, there are still huge differences between them.
More than two hundred people were eliminated during the training.
Some of them were too stupid and quickly forgot what they learned; others were not in good physical condition to keep up with the pace of training.
However, even among those who were eliminated, everyone had a very correct attitude. After all, they were the ones who were beaten the most by the instructors.
