Chapter 90
What is Desire
Compared to those days when he was suffering from the front line, Lin En always felt that the time to stay in the Special Operations Force barracks passed very quickly, day after day, seven days passed in a blink of an eye. Thinking alone was not only because of the abundant food and a relatively safe environment, but also because of the ability to see and contact advanced equipment and special combat skills that civilians and ordinary soldiers could not imagine. Unlike the instinct of just seeking survival when he was a newcomer, he devoted 100% of his energy to rigorous training every day with a more ambitious ideal. Perhaps he had advanced military knowledge, or perhaps he had the talent in this area. In parallel competitions such as gun foundation, power principle, driving skills, etc., he quickly jumped from backward to advanced, and quickly surpassed many soldiers who entered the training camp in advance.
The dinner on this day was particularly rich.
Unlike most soldiers in the same group who were rushing to eat wildly, Lynn noticed the change in the atmosphere from the beginning - Laurenz Bach, who had not seen each other for four days, sat calmly at the top of this super long dining table. He was still wearing the handsome and cool black leather jacket, and the training officer with similar outfits was simply a decoration next to him. It can be seen that the young SS Lieutenant Colonel looked a little tired, maybe he had just passed by a train. On weekdays, the veterans of the Special Forces did not always eat with the new recruits, sometimes eating earlier and sometimes later, but today the people who sat on the two long dining tables next to him looked particularly neat, and Eric, a non-commissioned officer who had rarely met since Lynn entered the barracks, was among them.
Is this a graduation dinner for the soldiers of the reserve team?
Lin Neng thought that during this week, conventional firearms, anti-tank weapons, combat and non-combat vehicles, and electrical instruments, in addition to the short-term difficult to master, such as ship driving and aircraft, and all those that can be learned. The training staff also specially arranged three nights for everyone to master the actual operation of the "vampire" infrared night vision device and the basic night battle mode. In the training of real guns and live ammunition, each person used at least 200 bullets and ten explosive devices, and at this time, Germany was already in a state of extreme scarcity of supplies!
Objectively estimated that Lin Neng felt that he should be able to perform the normal combat mission of the "Vampire" commando now, just like the armoured troops camping behind it crossed the Soviet front. If he could be assigned to the group where NCO Eric was, he could also learn more practical experience from the veterans. However, there are less than three months left before the end of the war. Lin Neng knew that a series of extremely fierce battles occurred before the fall of the empire, and many fanatical ones
The officers and soldiers who were loyal to the head of state fought to the death on the position. Their spirit is certainly touching, but it is by no means rational. Therefore, Lin En had the idea: quickly accumulate military achievements, become the commander of a combat team as quickly as possible, and establish good relations with his companions. Once he was sent by the superior commander to perform a highly dangerous "death mission", or to survive until Germany announced his surrender, bring troops, bring weapons, and find a place to avoid the search of the Allied forces, so that he still has the opportunity to do a great cause after the war!
When the food on the plates of soldiers around him was swept away, Lynn heard the training officer yelling flat on the ground: "Fighter Company, stand up!"
"Fighter Company" is the nickname he gave to this special combat reserve team. More than 130 people are about the size of an infantry company during wartime. These reserve soldiers, who originally belonged to different troops and had different war experiences, did show strong fighting will in most of the time during training.
Wow...
More than 130 people standing up neatly by the dining table, accompanied by the sound of chairs moving, sounded particularly imposing.
Before lined up, Lynn deliberately glanced at Bach, and the young lieutenant colonel sat there indifferently and continued to eat, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Looking around, the veterans were also focused on the rich food in front of them.
The more this happens, the more strange it is.
Led by the training officers, the soldiers of the reserve team multiplied several military cards to the combat training ground about 20 kilometers north of the barracks. Lynn had been here twice before, each time he came from the barracks on foot and cross-country marching, and then conducted group confrontation and night battle simulations. Lynn heard from his roommates who lived in the same room with him that they had conducted four training sessions on this site before, and the content was roughly the same as the ones behind.
This combat training ground is located on the edge of a large birch forest. The main body is a "village" covering an area of about two football fields. It constructs the most common field defense fortifications on the battlefield on all sides. It houses scarecrows in Allied uniforms and simulated wooden tanks, vehicles, artillery, and field hospitals, ammunition depots, oil depots, command centers, and almost everything that an Allied camp should have can be found here. However, when Lynn first came here, he remembered the village he attacked with the "Night Night Warriors" on the Eastern Front.
After all the personnel got off the car, the training officer asked everyone to line up and announced that tonight would be the last simulation exercise for the reserve team. The task of the entire "Fighter Company" is to defend the village and prevent the enemy from destroying the three major targets of the command center, ammunition depot, and oil depot. Since the use of empty ammunition, both the offensive and defensive sides should voluntarily withdraw from the battle when the opponent fires at them first. At the same time, the fire will be determined to be "double death".
After receiving thirty empty bullets one by one and a white cloth towel that must be tied to the arms, the training officer made a very special request: all soldiers form a team, each ten people form a combat squad, three squads form a combat platoon, and the single personnel are organized into the platoon and company. The squad personnel select the squad leader, and the squad leaders decide the squad group, and then a platoon leader is selected in the platoon, and finally the three platoon leaders select a company commander.
The training officer spoke very quickly, but fortunately his voice was loud enough, and Lin Neng basically understood what he meant and quickly made an analysis and calculation in his heart. In just seven days, it was not enough for him to know everyone in the reserve team, let alone judge their abilities. So, when almost everyone was busy "finding friends", Lin Neng stood by silently.
During the training of the reserve team, six small teams were set up, and the training officers selected six soldiers to serve as the commanders of the squad. Naturally, when the soldiers formed their own combat squads and combat platoons, they used these small teams and dormitory distribution as the main basis for consideration. As for those who were alone, there were people like Lin Neng who joined the middle, and some were usually silent or had bad popularity.
The training officers asked the lagged men to stand aside, and then let the squad leaders form a platoon. After a slight debate, the twelve combat squads formed four combat platoons, and the platoon leader was the platoon leader with the highest rank or the most eye-catching training on weekdays. The combat squads that were not included were then taken to the lagged men by the training officers.
Just like setting up a stall to sell fruit, the training officer stood next to these lagging people and announced loudly: "Each platoon requires two soldiers to serve as platoon guards and communication personnel. Please choose among these people!"
After saying that, he stood there calmly and watched the platoon leaders choose.
Lynn intends to take a step back.
Soon, eight soldiers were selected by the platoon leaders, and there were 7 left, including Lynn (please do not count the 132 people in the previous chapter, there will be changes in personnel this week).
"You serve as company guards and correspondents!"
While speaking, the training officers did not show any obvious praise or criticism about these unclaimed people. Then he turned around and announced loudly to the soldiers who had already arranged according to the squad:
"Everyone, please remember the squad you are currently in. From now on until the superior commander makes new adjustments, you will act in accordance with this organization!"
There are some surprises in the team, and there are also some thankful people.
Lynn could feel the frustration and worry of the four people around him, but he straightened his chest completely unmoved.
With an unprecedented serious attitude, the training officer said solemnly:
Chapter completed!
