Chapter 594: Audience at the Youth Camp
The reinforcements had to walk for a while after they arrived at their destination, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was beginning to set in the west, and March 29 was about to pass. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The waiting time was rather boring, and Balzen himself sat in a large pit smoking a cigarette.
In the field life, there is nothing to do when there is no fighting, either continue to dig pits and log to strengthen the defense of the position, or check your weapons and equipment, and when everything is done, you can lie down in the foxhole you dug yourself, or lie down and sleep in the grave of the future.
The same is true for most of the soldiers, who have been digging the pit for several hours, and after confirming that there is no danger, many of them have now rested early. Many of you smoke beautifully, such as Balzen himself.
The Cadet Battalion followed Skafsky with great interest, their ranks equal and neat, and even the tapping steps were in lockstep.
They kicked and walked, and the earth shook slightly. This could not be concealed from the vigilant soldiers, who had slept soundly in time and could sense the abnormality of the environment.
People woke up like marmots, poking their heads out of their foxholes, and even loaded their ammunition for safety.
Balzen pressed the butt of his cigarette on the dirt a few times, then kicked it into his pocket before crawling out of the pit. I tidied up my military uniform, put on my hat and straightened it, and swept away my sloppy image, so as to meet the increased troops.
But everyone at the youth camp has seen everything.
Balzen currently led more than a thousand troops, and the position in the forest was two kilometers wide, and the defense was strongest only near the headquarters.
Kharkov saw a large number of foxholes, as well as erected machine-gun and mortar positions. Many people looked at their group directly, almost none of them wore military hats or steel helmets, most of them only wore shirts and even vests, and looked directly at them with cigarettes in their mouths.
From their eyes, Kharkov understood that this group of guys who simply came out of the soil were clearly the female soldiers in the team. No, soon someone blew a wild whistle and even waved to say hello.
The marching team immediately became agitated, and the otherwise uniform pace was also messy.
"Comrades, don't be afraid, these are our comrades-in-arms! That's what real battlefield life looks like! Kharkov hastened to warn that he did not want some of his men to be frightened.
The real veteran was no exception to the behavior of this group of guys, Natasha let out a long sigh and said to the nervous Kharkiv: "This group of people is just joking with us, they are all very trustworthy comrades-in-arms." Don't look at them acting like hooligans now, they still treat us female soldiers very well. ”
"You should tell your dozens of sisters about it!" Kharkov's mentality eased slightly, of course he knew the temperament of this group of soldiers, life on the battlefield was so boring, seeing a group of young and beautiful girls to the front line, wasn't it an instant explosion of hormones?
It all came to an abrupt end until one man's roar came to an abrupt end......
Balzen was very neatly dressed, including several of his retinue guards. As a commander, he ordered his restless subordinates to remain calm, and the embarrassing scene with the girls was completely ended.
Kharkov gave a few more orders, and the whole team was restored to order, and stood in front of Balzen in a four-line column.
At this point, Kharkov took three steps forward, saluted, and replied mechanically: "The whole youth camp is assembled, please instruct the commander!" ”
Balzen raised his right hand in return. He didn't rush to answer, his eyes first glanced at these young soldiers, and he couldn't help muttering: "Let a group of children go to the front line, those commanders at the division headquarters are really crazy!" ”
In any case, these children must have arrived, and they will be under their own command, and this time they can only be received in good condition.
"All of the camps are available! I have been ordered to receive you, and now you are under the command of the reconnaissance company. Right now! All rest on the spot and wait for further orders! ”
In fact, Balzen did not think of a good way to arrange this group of children, and the best solution in theory was to break up the youth camp. At present, the unit is composed of two elite infantry battalions and a reconnaissance company, each of which leads a group of children.
The order was to involve this group of children in actual combat, and if it was a battle, there would be casualties, and the thought that this group of children would die in battle made Balzen feel a huge pressure. Especially when there are still half of the girls in the team, let this group of five big and three thick soldiers see the tragedy of the sacrifice of this group of little girls, maybe they will have a psychological breakdown!
He didn't have a good way, so he had to shout Kharkov to his side first, and of course Natasha and star fruit.
The front foot of the juvenile battalion arrived, and the soldiers carrying supplies, and the elite soldiers who increased their strength arrived.
As the sun set, Balzen held a military meeting, and he first briefed the new soldiers on the tasks facing his troops.
There was no special cost for the mission, and considering that the airdrop operation would take place in the early hours of the next morning, the devil knows how much the enemy would be stimulated, and once they attacked, this line of defense would be the first line of defense against the enemy.
"The reason why we built a defensive line in the forest and set up a temporary barracks was to take advantage of our forest warfare. It is even more out of range of enemy artillery fire, and it is absolutely safe for now, but once the battle breaks out, everything is unknown. New comrades, I will be assigned to various units to replenish the troops, as for the junior battalion ......"
At this point, Balzen quickly paused. He originally wanted to keep them in the rear on the grounds that the youth camp was all a group of children. But would it be arbitrary to say that?
He slowly asked Kharkov: "I don't know about the combat effectiveness of the junior battalion. So as the battalion commander of this unit, Kharkov, how do you think your troops should be arranged. Whether it will operate in the current formation or be divided into small units to supplement the various units. ”
"Of course, we will fight with the formation of a junior battalion!" Kharkov made a quick decision.
"Very well, I don't have any worries about your decision. Just use you as a reserve, and I'll send you when the battle is at its fiercest!" ”
But this was not Kharkov's intention, he questioned: "Why the reserves." If we want to do it, we will be a front-line force! There are also many veterans of our more than 100 people who have been on the battlefield, and even the recruits who joined later have also undergone live-fire training and long-term armed obstacle coursework, and I believe that my combat effectiveness is capable of fighting. ”
Balzen said distrustfully, "But you are still too young after all. It's not that I don't believe in your fighting power, it's that elite soldiers like Natasha and Besica are rare. You're all kids, they're veterans, but the other hundred or so are new recruits. ”
"So the chief still thinks we're not qualified?!" Kharkov was really unconvinced and even angry at the moment.
Natasha hurriedly tugged at the placket of his shirt to calm him down.
Since the child was pouting, Balzen was not polite. He put down his kind face and said solemnly: "Kharkiv, do you remember last August? How did you act as a commander, the juvenile battalion was uneasy and planned to attack without authorization, resulting in half of the casualties in an instant, and the original annihilation battle turned into a rout. Who do you think you are? Still picky about my commands? Most of the squad leaders and platoon leaders among these soldiers you see are veterans of that time, and they know everything about you and your junior battalion! ”
Having said that, Kharkov shut up.
What else could he say? Only by practical action could be obeyed, and the junior battalion thus became the rearguard of the reconnaissance company directly under Balzen.
