When Chen Dao returned to the regimental headquarters of the Herman Goering Motorized Infantry Regiment, he saw five or six hundred people standing in a neat queue on the school field from a distance.

Seeing the soldiers' iconic steel helmets without ear protectors and thigh-hugging onesie coats, Chen Dao knew that they were the 2nd Paratrooper Battalion.

With a "squeak", Chen Dao's Mercedes-Benz stopped steadily in front of the queue in full view of everyone.

Chen Dao raised his hand and gave a standard military salute to Studente, and then said: "Welcome, General Studenter, you actually came in person, it really gave me a surprise." ”

Student said expressionlessly: "They will be your subordinates in the future, I hope you can lead them to win more honors." ”

Chen Dao keenly noticed that Student was not very interested, and after a little thought, he was relieved that the old subordinates of an entire battalion were "non-combat attrition", and no one would be too happy.

Chen Dao stared at Studenter's eyes and said, "No, they are my subordinates, and they are also your subordinates, and we will jointly lead them to win the honor that belongs to our air force." ”

Thinking back to the days when he fought with Chen Dao in Poland, Student suddenly found that the "little brother-in-law" in front of him could be said to be a competent officer except for a bit of nonsense, not obeying military orders, and dying to save face.

By the way, "Your Excellency, Brother-in-law" occasionally gets dizzy, and only a dizzy person would say such fearless words as "we can kill France in eight weeks."

Hopefully, he won't get dizzy while commanding his men in battle, Student thought silently.

Chen Dao bypassed Student and said solemnly to the paratroopers of the second battalion: "Today, in the presence of General Student, I, Heinz von Rosen, the commander of the Hermann Goering Motorized Rifle Regiment, officially give you the first order, I allow you to retain the title of the second battalion, and allow you to retain the title of paratroopers, although in the next battle, you will go into battle in trucks like motorized infantry, and you will go into battle in armored vehicles like mechanized infantry, but you will always be paratroopers, you were and are nowand will be the same. I also promised General Student and you that I would use you as the backbone to expand two motorized infantry battalions, which I would also use the title of paratrooper to commemorate the contribution of the paratroopers to the founding of the Herman Goering Motorized Infantry Regiment. ”

After speaking, Chen Dao raised his hand and saluted the paratroopers of the second battalion.

Major Schubert, the commander of the second battalion, looked at Chen Dao with a complicated expression, and the "Your Excellency Brother-in-law" in front of him, who was originally at the same level as himself, had now become his top boss. When he first learned that he and his subordinates were going to be transferred to the "Brother-in-law's Excellency", Major Schubert resisted and finally had to obey the military orders.

A few days ago, when Major Schubert was on leave, he had a party with some of his fellow countrymen, and he was teased by his friends who served in the army and navy.

"Schubert, can you introduce me to Major Rosen? I would like to ask him to teach me how to defeat France in eight weeks. ”

"It turns out that Major Rosen has been promoted to Colonel Rosen, by what kind of combat exploits did he get promoted to two levels at a time? Is it because he said that he could defeat France in eight weeks? ”

The words of his friends ridiculing him still echoed in his ears, and Major Schubert's heart rippled again.

But now it seems that it is not bad to follow the "Your Excellency Brother-in-law", at least he respects the honor of paratroopers.

Calming down, Major Schubert shouted with a sense of vigour: "Stand upright, salute." The paratroopers of the second battalion, led by Schubert, saluted Chen Dao in unison.

Chen Dao put down his right hand, turned to Student and asked, "General Student, can I have this honor to let them continue to retain the title of paratrooper?"

Student's eyes were already red, and he choked up and said, "It's my pleasure." ”

"General Studenter, there is a welcome ceremony at seven o'clock tonight, which is also the formation ceremony of the Herman Goering Motorized Rifle Regiment, please be sure to attend it." Chen Dao extended an invitation to Studenter.

"I'll definitely participate."

After Student left, Mandol was busy assigning barracks to the paratroopers, and Chen Dao hid in his office.

Lying on the office chair with his hands folded on his chest, his legs folded on the desk, Chen Dao closed his eyes tightly and muttered: "I don't know if the eldest brother-in-law's anti-aircraft gun is good or not?" Did the Führer adopt my plan? When will the new equipment be in place? It's full of questions. ”

Unconsciously, Chen Dao fell asleep in a chair・・・・・・

At seven o'clock in the evening, the formation ceremony of the Herman Goering Motorized Rifle Regiment officially began in the canteen of the regiment headquarters, and all the officers of the Herman Goering Regiment attended the ceremony, except for the necessary remaining officers.

Goering, holding his marshal's scepter, was the first to speak, and the special guest, Studenter, immediately sent his blessings.

Student stepped down from the podium, Chen Dao stood in front of the microphone with a piece of blank paper, pulled his index finger and flicked it lightly on the microphone a few times, Chen Dao said: "Today I want everyone to know, who is our Herman Goering Regiment?" Where are we going?

We, the Hermann Goering Regiment, are not a garrison unit that squats idly at the headquarters of the Air Force during the war, nor is we a guard of honor that can only walk and shout slogans at the parade ceremony, but we are a heroic division that represents the Air Force in the ground war in the name of Marshal Herman Goering. In the attack, we will act as the spearhead of the attack, and any enemy line of defense will be like this blank sheet of paper before us; Chen Dao said as he tore up the white paper in his hand.

"In defense, we will be firefighters, and where the line of defense is broken by the enemy, we will be there. In such a heroic army, there is no place for cowards. ”

・・・・・・The officers applauded warmly, Chen Dao nodded to the officers, and then waved his hand, and several soldiers distributed the posters to them in the face of the officers' puzzled eyes.

The officers headed by Goering took a look and their blood boiled.

The first thing that catches your eye on the colorful posters is a tall figure wearing a torn military uniform and a signature German M35 steel helmet, kneeling on one knee alone. He was holding a Mauser 98K rifle in his left hand, only half of the torn sleeve was left on his right arm, red blood was gurgling down his forearm and dripping to the ground, his right hand was drooping, and he held a long-handled grenade with white smoke in his hand.

On the opposite side of the back, stood a group of heavily armed enemy soldiers, who were recognized by Goering and the officers as Frenchmen from their helmets.

On the back of the German soldier, two lines are clearly printed: Are you going to be a coward for the rest of your life? Or do you want to be a hero? Even if it's just for a few minutes.

Chen Dao raised the poster in his hand and shouted: "Look at the hero in our hands and answer me, are you going to be a coward for life?" Or do you want to be a hero? Even if it's just for a few minutes. ”

"Heroes." The officers shouted in unison.

"Very good, but I want to say something," Chen Dao said, slapping the poster on the table, "You need more than verbal courage, because the cry of the brave from the bottom of your heart can only wake up a few people." Who are the heroes? Who are the cowards? See you at war. ”

When Chen Dao stepped off the podium, the applause of the officers almost tore down the roof of the canteen・・・・・・
