Chapter 265 1st Armored Division of the Type 1920
"Looks like you two came here 'through the woods', right?" While Jamie and Adil were making all sorts of guesses, an old man behind him grinned and spoke.
"Drilling into the woods" is a derogatory German term for French stowaways. According to the terms of the Berlin Peace Talks, Eric did not have a single soldier stationed in Mestun, so for a long time, only German and French police officers worked together to maintain law and order, so it became an ideal place for smugglers to cross the border, and smuggling was extremely rampant.
The reason why the practice of "drilling into the woods" frequently occurs on the border between Germany and France is a strange phenomenon that stems from the economic strategy of the French authorities. After the war, many laborers who had spoken radically in France or who had been brutally oppressed by the government had to venture through the jungles south of Metz to seek refuge in the unfamiliar land of Germany in order to escape arrest by the authorities. Therefore, "drilling into the woods" has become a strange phenomenon here.
Germine didn't feel uncomfortable when he heard the title "drilling into the woods", he had come from the woods, and the old man was not wrong. But Adil, a man in his thirties, was born as an engineer, and he didn't think about it, but he also became a stowaway. He felt very embarrassed in the face of a strange Germany, and especially in the face of the ridicule of the Germans.
"Sir, do you know what kind of unit this is?" Jamine asked without hesitation.
"Boy, seeing that you two should also be people with status, I won't report you, but you'd better not inquire about the German army." The old man did not directly answer Jamine's question. In the eyes of the old man, it is very merciful not to report their smuggling, and he still wants to leak "state secrets", but there is no door.
"To tell you the truth, the gentleman and I did flee from France, but we are not the same thing as other stowaways." Germine found that the old man in front of him was very vigilant, and quickly explained.
The old man remained silent and noncommittal, and Germine continued to tell him: "I used to be an active pilot in the French Air Force, and Jemine Pires is my name. This is a very famous aircraft designer of the French company Sparde. Called......"
Ardis didn't wait for Jamine to finish, and immediately politely stretched out his hand to report to the door: "Adil Kabaye." ”
The old man's brow slowly relaxed, and he seemed to believe Jamine's words.
Then, Jamine explained in detail to the old man the reason for the two flights, and the old man finally understood, and his attitude was much better than before, and he pointed to the troops who were about to leave the hall and said: "Like you, it is the first time I have seen soldiers in this uniform, but they must belong to the Wehrmacht armored division, and it is not clear which unit they belong to. ”
"Their costumes are unique and the camouflage is very good!" Germine exclaimed.
"The young man was really a soldier and could get to the point. However, this kind of military uniform is indeed very good, our president is worthy of being a general, and the soldier's military uniform also takes into account concealment and practicality. The old man smiled, and then proudly told Germine and Adil: "I know a little bit about weapons, my son has returned from the army, and he once told me that the army is being reloaded with a G20 rifle, 1 magazine with 10 rounds, semi-automatic ......"
The old man was obviously an expert, and it seemed that he should have had experience in the military, and Jamine liked to listen to other people's high-minded conversations, and he also admired the old man's ability to express himself. At this moment, the shrill sound of locomotive brakes came again outside the window, and in a short time, the troops who were also singing military songs passed in front of the passengers with great discipline.
The old man pointed to the team in front of him with a little excitement and said, "This is our German tank soldiers!" I've seen it at the tank training base in Frankfurt, it's a very big place, it's full of tanks, it's open to the public, and the general public is welcome to watch it from a safe distance. ”
He wore a black jacket and a black boat-shaped tank cap on his head, and a pinned iron No. 3 tank crew collar and badge on the left side of the neckline.
Only the Ministry of Defense and tank crews knew that the back of the badge was engraved with their names, blood types, and the initials of the unit number.
Jamine also noticed that this unit did fit the attire of a tank crew, so he asked, "What about the troops that just passed by?"
The old man then said in a positive tone: "It should be the most important commando of the honorable President Eric Adrian, and it is an infantry commando team that specializes in tank attacks. ”
Commandos were a form of small warfare that gradually became popular during World War I, and the number of people could be large or small, but most of them were outstanding soldiers.
Germany attaches great importance to the training of talents in this area and has grown rapidly in the combat units. Under Eric's direction, this force charged forward, elusive, and tenacious.
As a sharp knife that can pierce the heart of the enemy, the training of this unit is extremely harsh, and ordinary people cannot complete all the training subjects. After the development of the German Federal Air Force, Eric once had his cronies train a large parachute troop, which was actually part of the commando team.
Germany kept a low profile about paratroopers, and the media never covered them, because of the unimaginable mystery of the troops.
At present, some of the commandos selected for special training are all all-rounders, who can descend from the sky, dive into the sea, drill into mountains and forests, cross ravines, fight, grapple, snipe and resist strikes, etc., and can do anything.
At the same time, commandos must also master a variety of equipment, weapons, aircraft, tanks, and other technical skills, and even master the languages of several countries. After all, this is a sharp knife that can affect the situation of the battle before launching an offensive for a large army, so his mystery can be imagined.
During World War I, during the confrontation between the German army and the Tsarist army on the Eastern Front, this unit would sneak out quietly whenever it encountered an obstacle and appeared at the enemy's forward command and head office at a critical moment to engage in little-known decapitation operations.
The same was true on the Western Front, where the commandos gained supreme glory in the Army for their amazing achievements in the battles with the Allies, and occupied an important place in all training and anti-infiltration battles.
A considerable part of the commando team, which is known as the elite of the elite soldiers, is deployed in the ranks of armored divisions to cooperate with the tanks in attacking fortified positions, which is equivalent to putting a sword on an iron fist and adding hard wings to the tiger.
There were only two armies on the French border, and with one such iron army in them, the Cabinet and President Eric were more comfortable with the war on the Western Front.
At this time, the short, fat, meaty-faced security guard staggered into the waiting hall: "Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry that this is all a goddamn war, but luckily, passengers going to Berlin, please bring your luggage and belongings to the platform to cut your tickets and get on the train! ”
Life has to go on, and as long as the war doesn't really break out, it's business as usual.
