On the second day after arriving in Gudamis, training began immediately.
The British threat was imminent, and neither Yang Deshan nor Rommel dared to be careless. In order to train a consistently qualified tank unit as soon as possible, Rommel asked Yang Deshan for a training indicator that allowed a 10% attrition during training.
Yang Deshan said that he could not understand this. This indicator was indeed a bit cruel. It was just training. Yang Deshan believed that there would not be too many casualties.
Rommel insisted on his request, claiming that without this indicator, the tank force would not be able to achieve combat effectiveness within three months.
After careful consideration, Yang Deshan agreed to Rommel's request.
Human life in this era is indeed not very valuable. In North Africa, although slavery has been abolished on the surface, as long as you give enough money, you can always buy all kinds of slaves, including young girls and strong bodies.
Young people have whatever they want.
These slaves do not have any rights. They are widely found in plantations and mines in North Africa. Their owners can decide their life and death at will, and the local government does not care about this.
It is precisely because of the existence of this special class that under Yang Deshan, there is a force composed entirely of black people. These people were rescued from various plantations and mines. Yang Deshan gave them a promise as long as they were under Yang Deshan's command.
After five years of service, they can be freed.
Compared with the plantation, life in the League of Brothers is paradise. At least here, the black people are treated as human beings. Therefore, those black people are loyal to Yang Deshan and are Yang Deshan's most loyal subordinates.
There were also black people in the armored forces led by Rommel. Perhaps they were not as quick to accept tactical actions as the Persians, but when it came to being honest and capable, they were much better than the Persians.
However, Rommel did not like these black people very much. On the first day when the armored forces began training, Rommel incorporated all these black people into the logistics force and then handed them over to his deputy, Taichiro, for training.
Tianichiro, does this name sound a little strange?
It’s a bit strange. Tianyilang is a Japanese. His original name was Tanaka Ichiro. After Lanfang conquered Japan, Tianyilang immigrated to Lanfang with his father, a technician, and became Lanfang’s nationality. Tianyilang’s whole family has already
After reforming Tian, Tian Ichiro was also able to join the Foreign Legion.
In principle, all key positions in the Foreign Legion were Chinese, but Rommel somehow fell in love with Taichiro and brought Taichiro with him when he came to North Africa.
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, give me all your energy to feed. I am in a bad mood today, so the last one among you will not have dinner this morning. If someone is still last in the afternoon training
, then he will be included in the death list. With the attrition target, Rommel's eyes were ferocious, he was running around the entire training ground, and his hysterical roars resounded throughout the entire training ground.
The attrition target that Rommel wanted was no joke. On the first day of training, two unlucky guys had their legs broken by being run over by tanks. Rommel didn't waste any time. He directly put the people on the death list and handed them over to Yang Deshan.
.
With this lesson learned, no one dared to question Rommel's authority. No matter what Rommel's request was, all officers and soldiers had only one idea in mind, and they must resolutely complete it.
The training of the armored forces is more technical, and also includes some physical and psychological qualities. The first week of Rommel's training was all basic physical training, and there were no other training items.
Rommel wanted to use this method to train the obedience of soldiers. In fact, the obedience of Persians is not very good. Even if they become soldiers, there is still widespread laxity and laziness among Persians. Rommel first needs to make these people nervous.
Get up and let them get used to obeying. When Rommel gives an order and the soldiers do not hesitate even if there is an abyss in front of them, then they can enter the second stage.
The ongoing training event on the training ground is weight-bearing running. This event requires three members of a tank crew to jointly carry a log and then run as fast as possible.
This project is to train cooperation between teams. In modern armies, especially armored units, individual heroism is a joke. Individuals must obey the whole and team strength must be exerted, so that the troops can truly have combat effectiveness.
Among the training content arranged by Rommel, there are many such training projects, many of which Qin Zhiyuan transplanted from the popular expansion training in the 21st century. These training projects have one goal, which is to make soldiers
Believe in the strength of the collective and trust your comrades, so that on the battlefield, the troops can maximize their combat effectiveness.
A tense morning passed, and all the soldiers gathered at the entrance of the restaurant, waiting for Rommel to comment on the morning's training.
Your performance today was very poor. Your performance was worse than that of a group of little girls in the Boy Scouts. It was simply a bunch of shit. Especially the No. 7 team. You were last in five of the six training events.
, I very much doubt whether you will be on the death list in the evening. Your lunch has been cancelled. It is just a good time to discuss why you are lagging behind. If I can't see progress in the afternoon training, then you just wait, Rommel.
He foamed at the mouth and cursed everyone bloody.
When everyone entered the restaurant to eat, only the three unlucky guys from Car Group No. 7 were left in front of the restaurant.
This is not fair. We are missing one person. Yesterday, the commander drove away Sahidi, but did not give us more people, so we fell behind. One of the crew members was very angry.
On the battlefield, the enemy will not spare us just because we are missing one person. The ugly-looking commander has a determined look.
There are only three people in a car crew, but in order to prevent unexpected events, Rommel prepared four people for each car crew. In yesterday's training, Sahidi of the No. 7 car crew was kicked out by Rommel because his performance was not good enough.
Armored troops, so the No. 7 crew did not perform very well in the load-bearing event today.
In fact, the fewer people involved in load-bearing projects, the better. In the early logging farms, if ten people couldn’t lift a certain piece of wood, then eight people would lift it. If it still couldn’t be done, two more people would be reduced. This is because the more people there are, the more individual people can lift it.
The greater the difference in power, that is to say, the forces do not work together, so the smaller the number of people, the more unified the power will be.
But in the military, this rule is not absolute. After all, the discipline of soldiers is much better than that of workers. As long as the quality is similar, the number of people becomes the key factor in determining performance.
What should we do? We have no food at noon, so we will be even less energetic in training in the afternoon. If we are really the last one, will we really be included in the death list? The last soldier is worried.
If we are still last in the afternoon training, then we will definitely be included in the death list. There is no doubt about this, so we have to find a way to get some food now. I don’t want to be abandoned again. The captain looked at the restaurant
The comrades who were feasting were gnashing their teeth.
The food in the armored force is very good. Basically, meat is indispensable in every meal. Although he is not allowed to enter the restaurant, the commander can still smell the barbecue being cooked today.
This is so mouth-watering.
I have a good relationship with the kitchen, so why don't I go see if I can spot a soldier who finally came up with a good idea.
Okay, okay, go quickly. One soldier was overjoyed.
Damn it, if the commander finds out, we will be on the death list now. The commander did not want to go through the back door, looked around and saw no one around, turned around and left with the two soldiers.
Two hours later, the commander returned to the military camp with two soldiers.
Damn, this meal today cost me three francs. You two need to remember that each of you owes me a franc. If you don’t perform well this afternoon, I will raise the interest. The driver wiped his oily mouth and said
Be ruthless.
Don't worry, sir, we will definitely not be the last one this afternoon. We will risk our lives to be worthy of your meal. A soldier swore to the heavens and the earth.
There is a restaurant in Goudamis. Since you don't want to go through the back door to ask for help, you have to spend a fortune. Fortunately, the driver is a Chinese veteran and can still afford three francs.
After the meal, the relationship between the three people was much deeper. At least two of the crew members were grateful to the commander. Their gratitude to the commander is now engraved in their hearts, and they will probably not have any resistance to the commander's orders in the future.
As soon as he entered the camp gate, he saw Rommel standing by the road with a dark face and two military policemen.
The three people did not dare to neglect, and ran all the way to Rommel, and lined up obediently, waiting for Rommel to lecture.
Where have you been? Rommel's voice was so chilling.
Reporting to the commander, we will use the free time at noon to practice more to ensure that we can keep up with the progress in the afternoon. The driver was unambiguous and gave a very good reason.
How is the effect of the additional training? Rommel's face shows no emotion or anger, and the two soldiers are already gurgling.
Reporting to the commander, the effect is very good. We will definitely not be the last in the afternoon training. The commander's voice is loud and not timid at all.
Okay, very good, Zhang Yuze, I will keep an eye on you. If you are still last in training this afternoon, you know what the result will be. Well, Rommel stepped forward and stared at Zhang Yuze with a vicious look.
Yes, sir, I know very well. Even if Zhang Yuze is not embarrassed, he still has a very tough mouth.
Very good, now return to the team and start training. Rommel glared at Zhang Yuze fiercely again, and then ordered Zhang Yuze to return to the team.
On the training ground, all the car crews have lined up and the afternoon training is about to begin.
