St. Monnoult, a sunny town, sunny and full of birds, beside the lake on the outskirts of the town, it is common to see maidens in long dresses strolling with their companions there―――――― if it's not winter...

Although it used to be a beautiful scene, now St. Menoul has only a cold winter.

Naturally, the so-called singing of birds and flowers is unlikely to appear, as for those girls in long skirts......... In this kind of near-zero temperature, there may be some girls with abnormal brains who come out in skirts, but most of them will still wrap themselves tightly and hide in the room.

The lakes were also almost frozen by the cold climate, and the ground around the lakes that should have been covered with green has now turned yellow...

It can be said that the climate in front of us is almost no different from the shape of France today, it is so cold...

Thankfully, no matter how cold it is, the atmosphere here doesn't reach sub-freezing, which probably represents the slightest hint of life that the French have in the cold of winter.

Walking on the streets of the town, several soldiers were under the leadership of the officer, looking at this strange town with curious eyes. Almost every soldier of the expeditionary force was curious about this town, which had an exotic atmosphere and was likely to live here for a while.

This is not surprising, after all, these soldiers rarely left even their homeland, let alone France, thousands of miles away.

For them, the qiē here is all novel, and it is also worth pondering.

Of course, there are many who are just as curious as they are, such as the French people who are pointing at them through the windows...

Apparently. For the French in the house, these strange soldiers with yellow skin are just as curious. At the same time, because they knew that these soldiers were here to help them fight, while instructing, the eyes of these French people were also full of kindness.

If it's something else. Perhaps these Wehrmacht soldiers will be annoyed. Even if the eyes of those French people were full of kindness, after all, no one wanted to be pointed at like monkeys, but at this moment, even if they were pointed, these soldiers were not angry, but felt a little ......... Shy?

That's right, it's shyness. Of course, you can also call it shy.

As for why this is happening, the reason is also very simple, because at this moment, except for some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the whole town, most of the rest are women, especially after a group of French young people were pulled to the front line not long ago. The ratio of men to women in this town has reached a very alarming level, and it can be said that there may not be one male in three people.

Even, if you get rid of the children and the elderly, there is not even a single young man in the whole town, there are only a lot of hormonal imbalanced women...

This point is not as many men as in later generations, but diametrically opposite.

This is also the point at which these IDF soldiers are being pointed at. Instead of being angry, I felt a little shy.

Usually the person who is pointed at will naturally be annoyed, and if he can't get it, it may even cause a fight. However, if all the people who point the finger are women, they naturally have nothing to worry about...

In particular, these French women are very bold, and sometimes even run out of the house out of curiosity to get a closer look. Compared with them, these soldiers who are not afraid of death on the battlefield seem a little immature. It was even more embarrassing in the face of the bold behavior of those French women, and a Qiē soldier even made some ugliness for this.

No way, who calls China's folk customs conservative, and France is a famous romantic country in the world.

That being said, but when it comes to contact with those French women. In addition to being shy, these soldiers are also a little excited and looking forward to it...

It's not surprising, after all, they're all young lads...

In the face of this never-before-seen opposite sex, there will always be some throbbing and even impulsiveness, especially when these French women are usually very plump in figure...

What's more, the military discipline of the Wehrmacht is very strict, but it is very lenient if it is not strict...

In the military regulations of the Wehrmacht, it is absolutely forbidden to harass the common people, and once it is discovered, it will definitely be strictly tried, and the consequences are unwilling for all Wehrmacht soldiers. Because even the lightest punishment is three days of confinement, and the heaviest ......... Shoot directly ...

Of course, this does not mean that the IDF is in a position of weakness in its contacts with ordinary people. It will not be a situation in which the latter generations would rather grieve the soldiers for the sake of the so-called 'military and civilian fish and water conditions' and take care of some scoundrels.

In the event of such a case, as long as the person concerned believes that the responsibility for the matter is not his/her own, the military police will be sent to jointly review it with the local judicial authority. If it is finally found out that the result is really the fault of the soldiers, then it is natural to clean it up, and conversely, if the responsibility is on the other side, then it will definitely not wronged the soldiers.

On the other hand, China has always been a country with many natural disasters, and every time something like this happens, the Wehrmacht has always been the main force in disaster relief operations, so although it has only been established for a long time, the reputation of the Wehrmacht in China is very high, and many soldiers cherish this reputation, so there are few conflicts between the people and the army.

Even a few of the old warlord-like figures were usually disposed of by the gendarmerie or the secret service. On the contrary, there are many more conflicts between the common people and the local government, especially with the gentry of the local council...

This is also one reason why the people are willing to help Yan Shao, not those parliamentarians...

After all, it is the parliamentarians who have a greater influence at the local level, not the government itself, who are really in conflict with them...

――――――――――――――――――――

Just as in the places where military discipline is severe, many of the places that are unreasonable in later generations are also owned by the Wehrmacht. As I once said, the Wehrmacht itself is not opposed to soldiers going to places like the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, after all, they are all strong young men, and if they don't want them to pick up soap from each other in the barracks, the best way is to let them have a way to vent.

This way of leaking. It's definitely not enough to rely on your hands, you have to have something alive.

And if they have to endure it, they might get something...

So the attitude of the Wehrmacht towards this kind of thing is that it neither supports nor opposes, and you don't go. That's naturally best. You go, I don't object either, that's it.

As for the French side, although it is not clear whether there are also "jinv" here ...

But if there is, these people don't mind trying it, after all, men. All like to play a fresh...

And there are so many women in the town, I can't tell which one ......... They'll have a chance...

As for why there are so few women and few men in the town, a few curious officers have also asked, and the answer is that almost all the men in the town have been sent to the front. Only children and the elderly are left, and now almost all the production work in the town is taken care of by these women―――――― and it is precisely for this reason that the status of women will be greatly improved after the First World War, which also proves that women can only have their own status if they are financially independent...

Just as the soldiers were a little shy passing through the middle of the road, inside the room. Many residents of the town are also looking at them with curiosity. For these people, these soldiers from the ancient Oriental countries are so mysterious, you must know that before the outbreak of World War I, the number of Chinese in Europe was very small, like this town, I am afraid that no Chinese has passed before this, let alone Chinese, I am afraid that even ordinary yellow people ...

This is also a reason for their curiosity, after all, these people in front of them are really a little strange to them, as for those from French Indochina. That is, the colonial troops from Vietnam?

Although these are indeed French colonial troops, before the outbreak of World War I, no matter what you think, the French will not transfer these colonial troops to the French mainland, not to mention that Vietnam is so far away from the French mainland, there is really something that is obviously much faster to be transferred from North Africa than from Vietnam...

Even now there is a big war. The French government had begun to send some colonial troops from French Indochina, and these troops were usually sent to some of the more important fronts, and small towns like St. Menourd were completely out of turn...

――――――――――――――――――――

In order to ensure the authenticity of the training, and in order to improve the adaptability of the soldiers, Cai even tried to find the French, and asked them to help get some live pigs or live cows, slaughter them and throw them into the training ground, so that some trenches in the training ground were filled with the stumps and blood of these domestic animals.

Especially after the blood flowed into the soil of the trench, the red mud and the bloody smell around it made some soldiers who had only recently turned from the reserve can't help but vomit, which is also so that they can get used to the smell of the battlefield as soon as possible, so that they will not lose their combat ability because of a disgusting picture.

Although this training method will definitely be a little deficient compared to the real battlefield, Cai Ye obviously can't send them to the front line right now, so he can only use guò for the time being.

Not far away, a few Frenchmen stood and watched, nodding their heads from time to time. In their opinion, this method of training is really good, especially the fact that the training ground is set up with the flesh and blood of domestic animals, so that the soldiers can be familiar with the battlefield situation, can be said to be very useful. They all came down from the battlefield, and it was clear that there were often soldiers who had a nervous breakdown because of the first encounter with some bloody scenes, or were temporarily incapacitated due to vomiting, and this method should still be more or less useful regardless of whether it was wasteful or not. However, although they agree, sometimes they will show disapproval.

After noticing the appearance of those Frenchmen, Cai Yi smiled slightly, and then smiled at Xiang Xinyuan next to him. "It seems that the French are a little unimpressed with our training methods and tactics..."

After listening to Cai Yi's words, Xiang Xinyuan pursed his lips with some disdain. "What do those big noses know, one by one stupidly ramming into the muzzle of a machine gun, what's the difference between looking for death..."

Hearing Xiang Xinyuan's words, Cai Yi smiled and didn't say anything, but several officers next to him laughed.

At the time of the expeditionary force's arrival in St. Mnoult. There had been some exchanges between the expeditionary force and the liaison officers who had come from the French, and in the course of the exchanges, the French had some objections to the way the expeditionary force was trained. In their opinion, it is good to simulate the actual situation of the battlefield to conduct operations.

But for the others, they are a little disagreeing.

And the expeditionary force is on its side. There are also some different views on the current tactics of the coalition forces on the Western Front.

Although the tactics of the coalition forces on the Western Front are no longer the line tactics of 'lining up and shooting' in the past, today's skirmish tactics are still a little too dense on today's battlefield.

And after two years of war, the situation in Britain was somewhat better, but the French ......... A large number of young people were recruited from their homeland, as can be seen in the small town of St. Mnould. As a result of this situation, the French army had a large number of recruits, who could only be said to have undergone some training, and as for the actual combat experience...

In this case, the straggler line composed of a large number of recruits can only keep charging when attacking, and rush down as soon as they rush. If you can't rush down, you will retreat, and there will be nothing else.

The problem is that although the density of the skirmish line is much stronger than that of the line infantry, the casualties are still very high under the crossfire of the machine guns, and they are all new soldiers, and they do not have the slightest cooperation with each other, even if they can rush to the enemy's position, they may not be able to take it down...

Not surprising either. After all, if you run into a hard bone, by the time you rush to the enemy position, your companions will probably be almost dead. There are some guys I don't know next to me, and I'm afraid that my mind will not be trying to communicate or cooperate with them, but simply attacking or retreating.

On the other hand, on the side of the Wehrmacht, since the Battle of Shandong, not only did the line infantry of a long time ago not adapt to the battlefield, but even the existing skirmish line was somewhat ......... At least if the opponent is armed with a large number of machine guns, a simple skirmish line can also cause a lot of casualties.

And even if you can rush to the enemy's position. I am afraid that the casualties of our own side will also be very large, and in this case, it will be difficult for some soldiers who are not familiar with each other to wield all their combat capabilities without cooperation and tacit understanding...

Therefore, Cai Yi, Jiang Baili, and some other generals who had commanded the Shandong Campaign at that time began to focus on some of the situations that appeared in the Shandong Campaign. I came up with a variety of tactics to deal with it, and I chose two of them.

One is called 'assault group tactics' and the other is called 'group operations'.

The former can also be called 'infiltration tactics', the core of which is to use small combat units, using the gaps and joints of the opponent's defense, to infiltrate the opponent's defense system, strike at important targets, cut off lines of communication, and cut off the relationship between defense deployments, so as to create conditions for a frontal attack.

The core idea is that if it is not necessary, it will never attack strong fortifications, and even if it does, it will only take measures such as bypassing, regard the enemy's artillery or headquarters as a priority target, and cut off the enemy's lines of communication and communications, etc., in short, try to disrupt the enemy's interior...

As for the troublesome fortifications, they were mainly left to the large troops that followed behind.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that the equipment of this 'assault group unit' will also be more special. Ordinary troops are usually armed with rifles, pistols, bayonets, etc., and the best thing is a shotgun.

And for this assault group troops, the mainstream rifle has become a secondary equipment. Not only can every soldier be armed with a pistol, and the number of shotguns is far more than rifles, as well as mortars and light machine guns, which can be said to be powerful, even if they encounter a small group of enemy troops, they can defeat the enemy army very lightly.

However, this tactic is still being explored, so it has not been implemented, and only in the country, a few small units have been organized, as far as the current point of view, the results are more significant, but the actual how is not clear, after all, if it is inserted into the enemy's army, the danger is too great, and whether to use this tactic is also under consideration by the Ministry of Defense.

As for the other kind of 'group operation' tactic, each squad is divided into multiple groups, mainly in groups of 3 or 4 people, each group is led by the squad leader, deputy squad leader and a small group leader in the infantry squad, each group cooperates with each other during the battle, and when the offensive is launched, it is also the group as the center of the operation, keeping a certain distance from friendly forces to prevent being hit by enemy machine guns...

Even if the flanks are fired upon by enemy troops, the casualties will be much smaller than in the usual skirmish tactics due to the large spacing between each group. Moreover, fighting in a small group mode, the cooperation between each other will obviously be very tacit, and after attacking the enemy's position, there will be no situation where each will do its own thing...

It was the latter tactic that was demonstrated by the Wehrmacht recruits on the training ground.

However, it was clear that the Frenchmen next to them were still more inclined to the skirmish tactics that were being used today, and were somewhat unimpressed by the Wehrmacht's group operations.

Cai Ye and the others didn't say anything about this, but it was absolutely impossible for them to continue to use the skirmish line tactics, after all, the casualties were too great...

So naturally, this tactic of 'group fighting' has become the standard tactic of the Wehrmacht, as for the 'infiltration tactic'......... Although the Ministry of Defense is cautious, if nothing else, it should become a standard tactic for the Wehrmacht...

These two tactics will also become a standard tactic of the Wehrmacht for some time, until they are replaced by more advanced tactics...
