The sixth regiment's camp is still on that hillside. The area of the camp has expanded a lot, and it is as big as the previous six.
For this reason, the Indian camp moved again, from the river to the cemetery. The Indians were quite satisfied with this. Their work distance was closer, and the cemetery was right outside their door.
After Wang Dingshan joined the Sixth Regiment, he entered Chen Kangjian's First Battalion and became a company commander. Wang Dingshan was very satisfied with this arrangement. The current Sixth Regiment is no longer the Sixth Regiment in the early days. With 5,000 troops, it can be said that the troops are strong.
.It is no longer possible to imagine that like Zhang Tianshou, he became a senior officer as soon as he joined the Sixth Regiment.
When Qin Zhiyuan returned to the camp, it was getting late.
In order to cope with the German aircraft reconnaissance, the camp was covered with camouflage nets. Looking from above, you could only see piles of lush bushes and ugly bomb craters, which had no attack value at all.
It was getting late, and the camp was brightly lit and bustling with people. There was no sign of a curfew. The sound of short copper whistles and the sound of neat footsteps clearly indicated the training program at this time.
Since entering the camp, Pierre has been shocked. Pierre could swear that he had never seen such a neat military camp before. It has been rainy recently, but there is no water in the camp. On the contrary, because there are parts of the ground
It has been hardened and the sanitary conditions in the camp are satisfactory.
Groups of soldiers passed by Pierre from time to time. Pierre looked carefully and saw that from these young and fighting faces, there was no signs of malnutrition such as sallow complexion and thin skin. The mental state of the soldiers was very good, and
There was no strange smell on them, but there was just the smell of clean and refreshing grass. Pierre knew that this was the smell of the soap distributed by the military.
In the army at this time, due to long-term trench warfare, many soldiers had fungus on their feet, which was athlete's foot. This disease required a large amount of medicine to be applied, so that at this time, the air inside the military camp was full of medicine.
Smell. Also because of trench warfare, many soldiers had scabies, which required plasters to be applied.
In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, the French distributed a large amount of red wine to the front line, with a quota of one liter per person per day. The British distributed a large amount of rum, as well as a large amount of tobacco. The proportions were basically the same as needed.
Therefore, the military camp at this time still smelled of these plasters and alcohol and tobacco.
In the military camp of the Sixth Regiment, there was only the smell of green grass and the chill in the air, and nothing else.
The camp is very tidy. No one throws away garbage, no one defecates, and there are no clothes and beddings hanging to dry everywhere. The cleanliness here is comparable to the square in front of the Palace of Versailles. In any case, it is not as clean as the square in front of the Palace of Versailles, which is famous for its mess.
I can't get in touch with the military camp.
On the school field on one side of the military camp, groups of soldiers were practicing formation. They were fully armed and in strict formation. They marched in line under the guidance of the bronze whistle, with neat and loud slogans and sonorous footsteps.
Formation training is required in the infantry drill compiled by Qin Zhiyuan. The purpose of the training is not to save face, but to emphasize the obedience and discipline of the soldiers.
Do you want to go and see Pierre looking attentively, Qin Zhiyuan opened his mouth to invite.
Okay, I really want to see our soldiers to determine the combat effectiveness of the troops. Pierre quickly entered the role and has now entered the role of combat consultant.
The role of the combat staff is very important. They must not only formulate combat plans, but also determine marching routes, etc. This must be based on a detailed understanding of the troops. Otherwise, there will be unexpected situations where the plan is out of touch with the actual situation.
The establishment of the General Staff Department is to prevent plans from being out of touch with reality, but this purpose has not been fully realized so far. Not to mention France and the United Kingdom, even the Germans, who are recognized as having the best staff system, often
Unexpected situations will occur.
Qin Zhiyuan doesn't expect to completely eliminate unexpected situations. As long as he can avoid most of them, he will be satisfied.
When Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre arrived at the school ground, the company commander who was conducting formation training ran over and saluted and reported: Report to the commander, the third company of the first battalion is undergoing formation training. I am the company commander Wang Dingshan, please give me instructions.
Wang Dingshan's company has just joined the army and is currently undergoing basic training. His company is a bit excessive, with a full 200 people, almost the size of a reinforced company.
Please continue Qin Zhiyuan's return gift.
Seeing Wang Dingshan turn around and run back to the team with standard movements, Pierre nodded repeatedly: a very professional soldier.
He is still far behind in his profession. As of today, his troops have only started training less than a week ago. Qin Zhiyuan also nodded with a smile.
After careful calculation, Wang Dingshan and the more than 2,000 people in his labor camp had only been in the army for five days. Qin Zhiyuan did not want to be so precise, as that would scare Pierre.
Sure enough, Pierre looked like he had seen a ghost and asked in disbelief: You are not mistaken in a week? If they are French, they may not be able to achieve this if they are trained for a month.
Yes, it was indeed a week. In fact, they had only been training for three days. It was really a sense of accomplishment to train such soldiers. Lieutenant Dinar, who was sent by Foch to take charge of the training, confirmed from the sidelines.
Foch had promised that when this group of soldiers was trained, Dinard's rank would be raised one level, so Dinard was very attentive in training.
It's unbelievable. Just like what was said in the report, they are indeed natural-born soldiers with strong bodies, excellent discipline, and super receptivity. Pierre repeatedly sighed and was very optimistic about the future of this unit.
A little further forward, there are troops undergoing obstacle course training. In this training, the advantages of the Chinese are further amplified.
The four-hundred-meter obstacle is also a training event transplanted by Qin Zhiyuan. It is also composed of eight obstacles: cross-pile trench, low wall, high board, jumping platform, ladder, single-plank bridge, high wall and low pile net.
This training program is very particular. Before the troops launch an attack, the artillery prepares fire. The general procedure is a sudden fire attack, destruction shooting, and another sudden fire attack. Then the artillery fire begins to extend. While the artillery fire extends, the infantry launches an attack. This is
Standard infantry and artillery coordination procedures.
It takes about two minutes from the time the artillery fire leaves the enemy position to the point where the enemy firepower resumes. The 400-meter obstacle sets up various obstacles that the infantry may encounter on the path forward. And the distance is the safe distance for artillery fire. It takes about two minutes to pass it.
There is a reason.
It is necessary to carry out such training for the troops. After all, the Foreign Legion is not the biological son of the French, and the French will not fully meet the requirements of the Foreign Legion.
The way the French treated their own sons was outrageous. At this time in Verdun, in order to conquer the previously lost Walls Fortress, the French deliberately built an identical one in the rear just to familiarize the French troops with the environment.
