"Major Will!" Just when I was still wondering what other tricks this Angus could come up with, he shouted to Major Will: "I just want to see my opponent in the exercise now!"
"No problem!" Major Will nodded, turned and walked out of the headquarters...
Seeing this, I soon knew what Angus was going to do, and I couldn't help laughing and said: "Second Lieutenant, you don't want to torture them to force me to agree. Don't forget that I am Chinese, and I am happy to watch the British."
People torture British people.”
"You will!" Angus raised his head towards me: "You are right, although you are Chinese, you are also their commander! Of course, if you don't care about losing your dignity in front of your subordinates,
…”
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this. I didn't understand what Angus meant by this.
But after thinking about it, I quickly understood that Angus wanted to connect the British army’s punishment with me.
Sure enough, just as I thought, Angus stood in front of the British soldiers who had just lined up and said: "The problem is very simple. We need a strong enough opponent to be the imaginary enemy, but it is very difficult."
Unfortunately... your instructor is not willing to lead you to participate in the exercise, so we have only one choice, which is to train you to be strong enough!
Now listen to my order and run around the camp ten times, fast!"
Hearing this, the British soldiers, including Tom, couldn't help but froze for a moment. You must know that this camp is five hundred meters long at least, and five kilometers after ten circles... This may not be a big deal in normal times, but they
Soldiers usually train a lot, and they can handle a five-kilometer cross-country, but here it is snow that is deep and shallow. And the British soldiers have just returned from the training ground.
"What are you still doing there?"
Under Angus's urging, Tom and others reluctantly started running.
I have to admit that this trick is indeed very effective. Because at first Tom and other British soldiers were not angry with us Chinese. But as they ran around and around, they were out of breath due to exhaustion of energy.
When we do this, many people will be thinking... Why do we need to let them suffer like this when we obviously only need to agree to accompany them during the exercise!
So naturally they would look at us asking, begging and even looking at us with some resentment.
"Battal Commander!" Zhao Jingping said worriedly next to me: "If this continues, the majesty we have just established among British soldiers will be gone. I'm afraid this training work..."
"Yeah!" I nodded.
What Zhao Jingping said is indeed reasonable. Although I did not refuse to participate in the exercise because I was afraid of Angus, the British soldiers did not think so. Moreover, they were the ones suffering at this time.
If Angus continues to struggle like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to command this British army at all.
"Second Lieutenant!" Thinking of this, I said to Angus who was standing outside the door smoking a cigarette: "You win, let them stop!"
"I knew it!" Angus said with a victorious smile on his face: "Then... Major Will will give you the information needed for the exercise later. See you in the evening!"
"See you tonight!" I was a little helpless.
Angus raised his hand to signal the British soldiers who were running in front of him to stop: "Your instructor saved you, have a good job tonight!"
Without looking back, he took a group of his men on a helicopter and flew away.
At this time, Tom and the British soldiers were screaming and sitting on the ground, barely able to breathe.
"Comrade Battalion Commander!" Major Will walked up to me and said, "Actually, you don't need to mind too much, it's just an exercise, and losing to the SAS troops is not a shame!"
I just smiled and said nothing.
Although I also know the strength gap between the two troops... It is mainly because our subordinates are all inexperienced British guys. We instructors don't even understand the language of these British guys, and we cannot communicate normally during the battle.
For one army, it is simply a nightmare, while the SAS on the other side are well-trained special forces with rich combat experience. So the gap between them is conceivable.
But I did not think that this was a losing battle from the beginning, as Major Will thought.
There are a group of soldiers under me who hold the same idea as me. They are never people who will give up easily.
"This is the situation!" In a meeting organized subsequently, I said to the soldiers: "Tonight we have an exercise for the British special forces!"
There were also key members of the British army attending this meeting. This was mainly because we had limited translations and our soldiers did not know English and could not communicate normally with the British army. So we simply discussed it clearly at the meeting so that the British soldiers could
Get a more complete understanding of the situation.
But it is obvious that the backbone of the British army does not seem to care about this exercise.
In fact, I can understand their thinking. Most of them thought that this exercise was destined to lose from the beginning, so they just went on stage to show off.
I ignored them and continued to point to a point on the map and said: "Our station is here. It is a beach more than 600 meters wide. The British special forces will choose to land here. Our task is to repel them."
Or hold on until dawn!"
"Battal Commander!" Looking at the focused expressions of me and the Chinese instructors, Xu Jianping couldn't help but asked: "Aren't you... prepared to win this exercise?"
"Any questions?" I asked.
At this moment, all the British troops, including Major Will, were stunned.
"Comrade Battalion Commander!" Major Will explained: "I think you may not understand that they are SAS, the British Royal Airborne Service..."
"I know!" I interrupted Major Will: "Is there a problem?"
Major Will didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Major!" I said: "If this exercise is not an exercise, but a battle, and we are also facing a powerful enemy with such a weak position, then what will you do? Surrender?"
"Of course not!" Major Will replied: "We will resist until the last moment!"
"When is the last moment?"
"When we think that resistance is meaningless!" Major Will said: "Yes, then we will choose to surrender!"
"Who are you to judge when it is pointless to resist?" I said: "There is no ammunition? Has the defense line been breached? Or have the casualties exceeded what you can bear?"
Major Will thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's almost like this!"
"But the fact is that resistance is often meaningful at this time." I said: "On the battlefields we have experienced, there are too many times when there is no ammunition, the defense line is breached, or there are too many casualties, but we can still resist again and again.
Knock down the enemy. Do you know why?"
Seeing that Major Will didn't answer, I continued: "Because we never give up easily at any time, because our last moment is sacrifice!"
"Just like now!" Zhao Jingping added: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will think about winning the battle instead of admitting defeat from the beginning!"
After hearing this, Major Weir and Xu Jianping couldn't help but fell silent. After a while, Major Weir nodded and said: "Comrade Battalion Commander, you are right. It doesn't matter if they are SAS or not, as long as they are our enemies, we will kick their butts."
!”
"Yeah, fuck sas!"
"Kill them!"
…
Other British soldiers also spoke one after another. They had just been humiliated by Angus, and they were already angry. Now they were inspired by our vile spirit, and they all cheered up.
courage.
This seems to be the case with recruits. They lose confidence easily when they are attacked, but they are also easily encouraged. However, I believe that part of the reason why British soldiers are so easily encouraged by us is because of this.
When they trained with us for a period of time, they clearly understood the quality of the Chinese people, which undoubtedly gave them some confidence, otherwise no matter how hard they encourage them, it would be useless.
Of course, I also know that this kind of boosted morale can only be maintained for a short time, and they can easily become discouraged again when they are hit, but all I need is to finish the exercise in front of me.
"The enemy's attack time is uncertain!" I continued: "This is from a practical perspective, so we have to be on guard on this beach all night. But I think it is very likely that SAS will choose to attack us after midnight.
Launch a raid, so after midnight to early morning is our key defense time period, especially when it is close to early morning!"
"Why this period of time?" Major Will asked a little strangely upon hearing this.
"Because Sas treats you as recruits with no combat experience!" I said: "The characteristic of recruits is that they are highly nervous and over-excited when they know there is going to be a battle, but this state of nervousness and excitement does not last long, very quickly
You will fall into exhaustion and wilting, which is exactly what sas wants.
On the other hand, a sneak attack after midnight is more in line with the beach battle on Tsushima... Obviously, if the battle ends before the early morning and a foothold is gained, other troops can quickly follow up at dawn, otherwise SAS will
You have to withstand the enemy's attack on the beach for a long time!"
"Oh!" Major Will couldn't help but nodded, and other British soldiers also showed admiration in their eyes.
This is completely normal for those of us who have come from the battlefield. On the Vietnam battlefield, both our army and the Vietnamese soldiers frequently used the early morning to launch attacks before dawn. And these people who have never fought in the war often used the early morning to launch attacks before dawn.
But it was a very valuable combat experience for the British army.
"So!" I said: "Our assignment is to loosen up at the front and tighten at the back. After building a defensive position on the sea, everyone except the sentry will rest in the first half of the night, and be on full alert in the second half of the night!"
"Yes, sir!" the British soldiers responded in unison.
It's just that they don't know that this is actually just a false shot on my part. (To be continued...)
