where the tree, Antiaris

a brigade of Marines training base on the west side of the Leizhou Peninsula. When a reporter arrived at the destination by car through the Leizhou Peninsula, when the air but it began to rain. Training base in Guangzhou Military Region, a former artillery range, so flat, more use of low shrubs dominated. But the reporter was found in several strains of the training base near the tall thick trees, surrounded by a special built up a jar as a protection.

If people do not accidentally eat it, the heart will be paralysis, which stops beating. If the milk splash to the eyes, the eyes will be blind soon. Humans and animals if they are coated with venom of the weapon that stabbed dead, so called Antiaris.

Antiaris trees and special operations next door, This is indeed a very meaning of the scene.

bursts of gunfire heard in the distance, this is a squadron during the fire assessment. The two squadrons of fighters in the rain, the group of four people have taken up the 300 kilos of Xiangpi Zhou, shouted chant to the sea beach. Beach not far from the training base, which is 1 km more. Of course, this is for the reporter took a camera in the hands of such people, and for two squadrons of special operations who is a hard thing.

directly with a forklift through a “scoop” out of the Yong Lu, is a quiet beach front. Reporters on the beach just a few steps away, I felt a soft foot, turned out to be stepping up onto the beach by the sea jellyfish. According to the beach the children said that this delicious natural wash is a simple “mix sting the skin.” Reporters skeptical, do not know the survival training of commandos who will do this “dish.”

Xiangpi Zhou came to the beach carrying the commandos, down Xiangpi Zhou did not have much rest after time. In the instructor’s command, the players soon to draw Xiang Pizhou the train. Rain harder and harder, and the reporter followed the instructors on the assault boats, and feel the special operations field training.

instructor, said Xiang Pizhou infiltrate the training is both a combat style, but also a training mode Granular spirit. No small Xiangpi Zhou rudder, only by team members to maintain coordination between the speed and direction. These players are all from the grass-roots units in the Marine Corps, today is the first time get together for Xiang Pizhou training.

indeed, players at the beginning to grasp the direction of Xiang Pizhou really not very good, but with the training time, the players gradually touch the doorway. Finally, instructors command team members to Xiangpi Zhou closer to the assault boats. Instructor points out the problems in training team members, while some players to answer questions. Finally, the instructor said, “come to an end on the morning train, and now one the fastest return to the beach, and finally to a group, you have to take my assault boat lift back!” Obviously, instructors of this sentence, more than The first slogan competition also effective. Reporters sat in assault boats on the lens in the training of commandos swept away tired of the color, the sense of momentum in training just like the “force.”

special warfare pioneer

Li Zhenhua is Yunnan, Tsinghua University graduate national defense. In general, Tsinghua University graduate students to become special forces officer, is still very rare. As students of mechanical engineering automation, Li Zhenhua originally wanted in the armed forces engaged in scientific research, but the adventurous nature optimistic, but he finally went to the forefront of special operations. Li Zhenhua, 2008, Marine Corps amphibious reconnaissance team of divers to the squadron when the first three months of feeling is very hard, but still persevered. Li Zhenhua then went to a college for “reconnaissance and special operations” professional learning, focused on training students in special operations command of literacy and skills, the degree of difficulty and special operations forces training equal to or greater than that. A second zipper, three days and three nights mountain march 140 km basically no rest, than in the Marine Corps training but also “the devil.” In this training can sustain down, Li Zhenhua, the reason that there are competing with each other, because it was in the professional learning of all special forces from the army for 70 people.

year more than 120 national defense, is now in the front line troops, only two people. “My personality is more suitable to deal with people it.” Li Zhenhua said.

Li Zhenhua and then deal with, but also not Dengxianzhibei. The Marines from various units of the Marines, and some from the elite amphibious reconnaissance team that also stand out in the harsh training of the infantry battalion leader. A particular marine brigade from a battalion of soldiers Huangze You, is a quite talented on the fire fighters, Guangdong, Huangze You said that after a year of training, he was as a heavy machine gun hand, a distance of 400 meters, even first “headshot.” Reporters used to think that training is shooting bullets consumption. These special operations, told reporters, in addition to a lot of training, but also requires individual to explore and comprehend. Because it seems on the outside, shooting off target and accurately hit the target, the external action, almost no significant differences. Yet it is very subtle differences, leading to the difference between shooting accuracy.

addition to professional skills, a lot of fighters after a rigorous fitness test before walked into this newly formed unit, a soldier told him to reporters one day training course: 5:30 to get up , run 10 km. After breakfast, get equipment for four amphibious landing obstacle course, then the second 800 meters of comprehensive training, there is no break at noon, after lunch and then receive equipment, 1200m circle “red ring run”, then 60 hair firing. After dinner is finished physical training, to do about 800 push-ups, each 100 to do eight groups, rest between each beat boxing. This physical training has been going to 10 pm … …

special operations at sea, how to fight? This is a new topic. Li Zhenhua and his team, in a simulated merchant compartment, over and over again with the special operations tactical exercises. Li Zhenhua told reporters that as first-line troops were able to lead so many extraordinary skill of the special operations soldiers, is both an honor and tremendous pressure. Front-line commanders not only to become a soldier in peacetime in all aspects of the model, in the dawn of military action, he must also be washed in the first line.
