794 List of the dead
The day after arriving in Gudamis, training began. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The threat of the British was imminent, and neither Yang Deshan nor Rommel dared to be careless, in order to train a qualified tank unit as soon as possible, Rommel asked Yang Deshan for a training target, allowing a reduction of 10% in training.
Yang Deshan said that he was a little incomprehensible, this indicator is indeed a bit cruel, it is just training, Yang Deshan believes that there will not be too many casualties.
Rommel insisted on his demands, claiming that without this indicator, it would not be possible to have tank units combat effectiveness for another three months.
After careful consideration, Yang Deshan agreed to Rommel's request.
In North Africa, although slavery had been abolished on the surface, as long as enough money was given, it was always possible to buy all kinds of slaves, girls of the right age, strong young people, whatever they wanted.
These slaves had no rights, they were widespread on plantations and mines in North Africa, and their masters were free to decide whether they lived or died at will, regardless of the local government.
It is precisely because of the existence of this special class that under Yang Deshan, there is an army composed entirely of blacks, these people are rescued from various plantations and mines, and Yang Deshan gives them a promise that as long as they serve under Yang Deshan for five years, they can be free.
Compared to the plantation, life in the Brotherhood is a paradise, at least here, those blacks are treated as human beings, so those blacks are loyal to Yang Deshan and are Yang Deshan's most loyal subordinates.
In the armored forces led by Rommel, there were also blacks, who were perhaps not as receptive to tactical maneuvers as the Persians, but when it came to being honest and capable, they were much stronger than the Persians.
However, Rommel did not treat these blacks very well, and on the first day of the training of the armored forces, Rommel integrated all these blacks into the logistics unit, and then handed them over to his deputy Tian Ichiro to train.
Tian Ichiro, doesn't that sound a bit weird?
It's a little weird, Tian Ichiro is Japanese, his original name is Tanaka Ichiro, after Lan Fang conquered Japan, Tian Ichiro immigrated to Lan Fang with his father who was a technician, and joined Lan Fang's nationality, Tian Ichiro's whole family has been modified to "Tian", Tian Ichiro was also able to join the Foreign Legion.
In principle, all the key positions in the Foreign Legion were Chinese, but Rommel somehow fell in love with Tian Ichiro, and brought Tian Ichiro with him when he came to North Africa.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, give me all the strength you have to feed - I'm in a bad mood today, so the last of you this morning will not have dinner, and if someone is still last in training this afternoon, then he will be put on the death list-" Rommel, who had the attrition target, looked at him with a ferocious gaze and scurried around the entire training ground, and the hysterical roar resounded throughout the training ground.
Rommel asked for this attrition indicator is not a joke, on the first day of training, there were two unlucky guys who were crushed by the tank and broke their legs, Rommel did not talk nonsense, directly put people on the list of the dead, and then handed them over to Yang Deshan.
With this experience, no one dared to question Rommel's authority, and no matter what Rommel demanded, all officers and men had only one idea in their hearts, which must be resolutely fulfilled.
The training of armored units is more technical, but also includes some physical and mental qualities, and the week before Rommel's training is all basic physical training, and there are no other training programs.
Rommel wanted to train the obedience of the soldiers in this way, in fact, the obedience of the Persians was not good, even if they became soldiers, there was still widespread laxity and slackness among the Persians, Rommel first had to make these people nervous, so that they would get used to obedience, and when Rommel gave an order, even if there was an abyss in front of them, those soldiers did not hesitate, and then they could enter the second stage.
The training event on the training ground is the weight-bearing run, which requires three members of a tank crew to carry a log together and run as fast as they can.
This project is to train the cooperation between teams, modern armies, especially armored forces, individual heroism is a joke, the individual must obey the whole, must exert the strength of the team, the force can truly have combat effectiveness.
In the training content arranged by Rommel, there are many such training items, many of which were transplanted by Qin Zhiyuan from the popular outward bound training in the 21st century, and these training items have one goal, that is, to make the soldiers believe in the collective strength and trust their comrades-in-arms, so that on the battlefield, the troops can give full play to their combat effectiveness.
A stressful morning passed, and all the soldiers gathered at the door of the dining room, waiting for Rommel to comment on the morning's training.
"You're not doing well today, you're not even as good as a bunch of Boy Scout girls, it's just a bunch of shit, especially the number seven group, you're at the bottom of five out of six training events, I'm skeptical that you'll be on the death list in the evening, your lunch has been canceled, it's time to discuss why you're falling behind, and if I don't see progress in the afternoon training, then you just waitโ" Rommel foamed at the mouth and scolded everyone for a bloody shit.
By the time everyone entered the restaurant to eat, there were only three unlucky men left at the door of the restaurant.
"It's not fair, we have one less person, yesterday the chief drove away Sasidi, but he didn't give us any additions, so we will be behind." A crew member was indignant.
"On the battlefield, the enemy won't open up to us just because we have one less person." The ugly face of the commander has a resolute gaze.
There were only three people in a car group, but in order to prevent accidents, Rommel prepared four people for each car group. In yesterday's training, Sasidi of the No. 7 car group was kicked out of the armored unit by Rommel because he did not perform well enough, so the No. 7 car group did not perform very well in the weight event today.
In the early days of logging farms, if 10 people couldn't lift a piece of wood, then 8 people would lift it, and if it didn't work, 2 more people would be reduced. This is because the greater the number of people, the greater the difference between individual forces, which is often said to be "not working together", so the smaller the number of people, the more unified the strength.
However, in the army, this law is not absolute, after all, the discipline of soldiers is much better than that of workers, and on the premise of similar quality, the number of people has become a key factor in determining achievements.
"What to do? We don't have anything to eat at noon, so the training in the afternoon will be even more exhaustive, and if we are really the last one, will we really be included in the death list? The last soldier was worried.
"If we were last in the afternoon training, we would have been on the death list, there's no doubt about that, so we're going to have to find something to eat now, and I don't want to be left behind again." The commander gritted his teeth as he watched his comrades in the dining room.
The food of the armored troops is very good, basically there is no meat for a meal, although you can't enter the restaurant, the commander can still smell that today's barbecue is made.
It's so mouth-watering.
"I have a good relationship with the kitchen, why don't I go and see if I can get out on the way?" A soldier searched his stomach and finally came up with a "good idea".
"Okay, okay, you go quickly." To the delight of a soldier.
"What a fart, if we are found by the chief, we will have to be on the death list now." The commander didn't want to go through the back door, and seeing that there was no one around, he turned around and left with two soldiers.
Two hours later, the commander returned to the barracks with two soldiers.
"This meal today cost Lao Tzu three francs, both of you give me a remind, each of you owe me a franc, if you don't perform well in the afternoon, Lao Tzu will increase the interest." The commander's mouth was fierce.
"Don't worry, we will definitely not be the last one in the afternoon, our brothers will risk their lives, and we must be worthy of your meal." A soldier swears by the sky.
Gudamis still has a restaurant, since he doesn't want to go through the back door to beg for someone, then he will inevitably have to break the bank, but fortunately, the captain is a Chinese veteran, and he can still afford three francs.
After a meal, the feelings of the three people are a lot deeper, at least two members of the crew are grateful to the commander, and the gratitude to the commander is now in mind, presumably there will be no resistance to the commander's orders in the future.
As soon as he entered the camp gate, he saw Rommel with a black face and two gendarmes standing by the roadside.
The three of them didn't dare to slack off, trotted all the way to Rommel, obediently lined up, and waited for Rommel to speak.
"Where have you been?" Rommel's voice was chilling.
"Report to the chief, we use our free time at noon to practice to ensure that we can keep up with the progress in the afternoon." The commander was unambiguous, and the reason for finding it was very good.
"How's the effect of the extra practice?" There was no joy or anger on Rommel's face, and the two soldiers were already in a state of flux.
"Report to the chief, the effect is very good, in the afternoon training, we will definitely not be the last." The commander's voice was loud and not at all apprehensive.
"Okay, good, Zhang Yuze, I'll keep an eye on you, if you are still last in training this afternoon, you know what the result will be, huh?" Rommel stepped forward and stared at Zhang Yuze with a vicious gaze.
"Yes, sir, I know that." Zhang Yuze didn't worry, his mouth was still very hard.
"Very good, now return to the team and start training." Rommel glared at Zhang Yuze viciously again, and then ordered Zhang Yuze to return to the team.
On the training ground, all the car crews have been lined up, and the afternoon training is about to begin.
