Special troops of the world "China" (part 2)
PLA MTR units are much better equipped and armed than conventional ground forces. The personnel are armed with standard 95 Type machine guns, 88 Type sniper rifles, 64 Type machine guns, 79 Type machine guns, 92 Type guns and rocket anti-tank grenade launchers (RPG). Some of these types weapons equipped with silent and flameless firing devices for carrying out covert operations. Fighters of the PLO MTR are studying foreign small arms.
The units have on armor equipment, radio stations for communication within the group and communication between the group commander and the center, night-vision equipment, portable television systems, laser range finders and GPS / GLONASS coordinate systems, as well as other similar devices.
China MTR units use army helicopters aviation to carry out the withdrawal of special forces at short and long ranges behind enemy lines. They also use high-speed vehicles of the “buggy” type for delivering quick strikes against the enemy and jeeps for transportation and operations behind enemy lines.
Some units of the SSO began to master paragliders to penetrate enemy territory at ultra-low altitudes.
Organizational Structure
Each military district of China (there are seven of them) has its own special regiment subordinated to the district command (3 battalion with a total of about 1000 people), and each level has its own special forces unit: corps - battalion (total 18 battalions, by 300-400 people each), brigade - company (about 120 people), at the level of the regiment - platoon (30-40 people) Level of preparation, as well as equipment from the regiment to the brigade, from brigade to body, and from body to district rises significantly.
The regiments of special forces in military districts (VO) are painted as follows:
1) Shenyang IN - “Dunbei Tiger” (“Dongbey” in Chinese, Northeast, Manchuria, which has become the nominal name of the three northeastern provinces of China);
2) Beijing IN - "Magic Sword of the East";
3) Nanking VO - “Flying Dragon”, formed in 1992;
4) Guangzhou IN - “The sharp sword of southern China”, formed in 1988;
5) Lanzhou IN - "Night Tiger";
6) Jinan IN - "Hawk";
7) Chengdu IN - Falcon, formed in 1992.
In addition, the special forces units include the Marine Assault Squadrons and the Sharp Sword of the Blue Sky airborne units.
Do not belong to the special forces, but undergo training in a lightweight special forces program, which is nevertheless much more complicated than the training program for ordinary PLA soldiers 162 (as part of the 54 army), 63 (as part of the 21 army) and 149- I (as part of the 13 army) divisions high alert. The next level of training is 1 (Hangzhou, Nanjing IN), 38 (86 ths. People, Baoding, Beijing IN), 39 th (75 ths. People, Yingkou, Shenyansky IN) and 54 th army (89 thou. people, Xinxiang, Jinan VO) of the rapid reaction army (readiness time from 2-7 days). And the last groupings are the three most equipped and combat-ready armies of China.
In addition to army special forces, there are also: Special Forces of the Armed Police (hereinafter referred to as VM, one of the components of the Chinese armed forces) and subordinate to the Ministry of Public Security (hereinafter referred to as MOB) units of Special Forces of the Public Security Forces.
There are also special units about which only fragmentary information is publicly available, and even that appeared only recently - the Panther anti-terror unit (according to some sources, possibly attributed to the Chengdu IN, possibly was the predecessor or in some way included in Falcon ), “Snow Wolf” (subordinated to VM, currently, together with the Beijing Special Forces, the ISB is involved in preparing security for the Beijing Olympiad at 2008, by the way, the total number of security forces at the Olympiad will be more Chez 10 thousand.) and other ...
The “elite” of the special forces of China, the division in which, from 1982, only the best of the best gather from all over the country, the antiterrorist unit "Vostok", located near the Beijing airport, the full name is the special-purpose antiterrorist unit No. XXUMX of the Special Forces Training Institute VM The Institute itself was founded in 722. During the 1983 year of its existence, he released more than a thousand people, most of whom became special forces instructors. The fact that during all this time, almost half a century, “complete difference” has received 23 (three) graduates can indirectly indicate the rigor of training.
Prepare
The training of army and police special forces is carried out according to the methods developed by the PLA General Staff, taking into account the peculiarities of using each individual unit, with the complexity of training to the level of the psychological and physical limit of human survival.
The leadership of the Chinese special forces believes that the physical, psychological and professional training of their fighters has no equal in the world.
Training fighters is divided into two parts: basic and professional.
The basic includes: the whole complex of normal physical exercises for strength, agility and endurance plus hand-to-hand combat and self-defense without weapons, survival skills in field and extreme conditions, mountaineering training, crossing water area in full equipment, all types of small arms, and tents , digging shelters in the snow and earth, providing medical assistance and rescue in the field, taking away weapons, ambushes and surprise attacks, actions in the mountains, in the forest, in the water, in the snow. Plus landing training. Ski training is carried out in the northeastern provinces of China in all weather conditions, including at air temperature below 40C. Guided terrain with or without a compass, reading a map.
It is hard to believe, but survival training is also provided (rhythm of breathing and body movement) in water with hands and legs tied! (how much should be in the water and why not indicated; as I understand it, this should apply to the Night Tiger, Sharp Sword of South China and Falcon units, at least considering their area of responsibility).
Survival skills training (on the example of the Falcon division)
A group of 6 people. Equipment: army boots, a knife, a lightweight machine gun and a helmet. With a fighter can take 1 kg of rice, 5 pieces of pressed biscuits, salt and matches. Before leaving, the group is thoroughly searched, literally shaking out the pockets - no unnecessary unwanted items, including and money and water should not be (though in some sources they write that they give out a flask of water, 2 a piece of biscuit, but without rice) ..
March-March conditions: for 7 days, the group must pass through the virgin forest more than 200 km (according to other sources - 300 km), and part of the route (about 3 days of travel) runs through mountainous areas with altitude above sea level in 2700 m. The area is that most water sources are unsuitable for drinking or simply life-threatening, the fighters must determine from the traces of birds and animals those reservoirs that are suitable for use, or use trees and plants to produce water. An additional difficulty is created by the fact that, despite the heat, clothing must be tightly buttoned, as the area is full of poisonous snakes and insects. The mountain section of the route (about 3 days of travel) is so poor in terms of plant and animal life, that the group will have to be content with ants, mice and snakes. In addition, along the way, the group must complete training tasks around 20 (assaults, captures of “tongues”, bypassing outposts and ambushes of a conditional opponent, etc.).
Such training can take place from 3 to 6 months per year.
Physical training:
This part of the preparation is affectionately called ... "descent into hell."
Lifting in 4: 30. Common "hard" qigong. Dantian Qigong - 30 min. In 6: 00 climbing a mountain or running long distances. When running, each fighter collects 10 bricks into his backpack. The distance in 5 km must be covered in no more than 25 minutes. The same cross - in the evening. What happens in this case with the back, or rather the skin on the back, is not difficult to guess. After the run, the exercise “iron palm” begins. The fighter must strike the bag with 300, and in just the initial preparation cycle, 15000 strikes, first with beans, and then with iron filings. Gradually, the 2 / 3 palm length will become covered with stone-hard calluses, and the palm thickness will increase by almost 100%. Bleeding and wounds are healed by soaking hands in a special treatment solution. Fists, elbows, knees and feet are worked out in exactly the same way and with the same standards.
After breakfast, working out the breaking of the head of the wooden bars begins. Begin with soft and finish with hard rocks. When a corn with a thickness of 2 mm is formed on the head, it is possible to proceed to breaking up the bottles and bricks. Having undergone proper training, a fighter can strike a tree or a wall (this is hard to believe, or an error in the sources, but the standard is 500 once a day). Headstand - 30 minutes a day ..
Then lunch, a short rest and hell continues ...
