Chapter 44: Brutal Training
Seven days of basic training, He Jianye is different from other students, he doesn't have to fight hard every day to fight for extra points in training, although this score can be exchanged for extra food. As a newcomer, you still have basic food security during the adaptation period. Seven days later, He Jianye and six soldiers of the German Wehrmacht were assessed together, and after meeting the assessment indicators, they came to the training ground in the afternoon.
In the middle of the field stood a strong soldier with a face painted with black oil paint, dressed in an ordinary Wehrmacht training uniform, more than 1.8 meters tall, strong muscles, and looking as brave as a god. He Jianye quietly observed this opponent on the sidelines, although He Jianye is also relatively tall in China, with a foot of 1.7 meters. But it can't be compared with the big men in Germany. After a short period of activity, He Jianye entered the field.
After the initial exploratory attack, He Jianye found that the strength was really not the opponent of this German man, after several initial collisions, now the muscles of the hands and legs still have pain, and he can only use the pace to fight, but after several years of Wing Chun practice, He Jianye's hand feeling and analysis of the opponent's boxing path are not something that this German man can catch up. Two minutes later, He Jianye smoothly knocked his opponent down. And it did not cause much damage to the opponent.
"Bang, bang, bang......." The Wehrmacht soldiers who were watching from the sidelines applauded.
"He, it's very good, you are the mysterious fist of the East at this time! You must have reservations about your appearance, and you must keep your killer moves! Your assessment has passed smoothly, come, come and watch the next group of opponents perform together. Hans beckoned to He Jianye beside him,
However, the next few groups of fights were not so pleasing to the eye, from time to time someone vomited blood and fell, and the medical team next to him finally had a job, and after a while, they carried away 4 big men.
In the evening, in order to welcome He Jianye to join Hans's team, all the members of Hans's team held a small welcome dinner for He Jianye, of course, there was no champagne and beautiful women in the training camp, only canned beef and a small amount of beer, but this did not prevent the 21 of them from getting to know each other quickly.
The day after the assessment, He Jianye was still asleep, and Hans pulled him out of the tent, "He, hurry up, it's time for us to gather for morning training." This is not your adjustment period. He Jianye, who climbed out of the tent and quickly got on board in training clothes and equipment, joined the rest of Hans's team at the whistle and joined the flow of people.
During a short break after breakfast, Hans was talking to He Jianye about his daily training and instructing him on how to get enough extra points from his usual training sessions in exchange for extra canned food, biscuits, and other food.
"Our training is basically divided into the following types: 1. Combat skills training. Including a variety of firearms, grenades, small-caliber artillery and anti-tank weapons, hand-to-hand combat is a must; The purpose of the training is to be able to adapt to street fighting, night fighting, and be able to search and escape. 2. Mobile skills training. Not to mention driving all kinds of vehicles, skillfully troubleshooting and using equipment and weapons on motorized vehicles, there is also extreme trekking. 3. Penetration skills training. Skydiving, climbing, minefielding, map recognition and cross-country marching. 4. Reconnaissance and espionage skills training. Observation of various means of obtaining information, such as concealment, eavesdropping, capturing, interrogating, and photographing, as well as the use of radio. 5. Psychological training, training soldiers' ability to adjust their psychology in extreme environments. 6. It is the swimming training, parachuting training, and wilderness survival training that I talked about earlier. Hans finished the daily training subjects in one breath, and then said contemplatively, "Of course, you can find your most talented subjects in these trainings, such as sniper training content, if you can become a good sniper, then it must be the best." As long as your training subject score is above the average for the day, you can get extra training points, which can be exchanged for everything you need, including tents, cigarettes, beer, etc., but I recommend that you don't get into the problem of alcoholism. As a good soldier, once you drink heavily, you are almost finished. ”
Nervous and exciting training, He Jianye gritted his teeth and persevered, spring went to summer, no one came to visit him, and there was no letter coming, when he was bored, he could taste his only hometown boxing, and what was attached to the practice of boxing was the scene of Xiaoyi accompanying him to practice the routines when he was a beginner, "I don't know how Xiaoyi is now?" He Jianye, who was anxious to miss his relatives, approached Hans and expressed his desire to send a letter to his family, but was refused. Hans said, "There are no foreigners here, and you can come in because of General Sickert's recommendation." You can only communicate with the outside world when you go out of here, but nothing here can be talked about to the outside world, at least for now, when you come in with your government. ”
Time passed in the boring training, and the time came to mid-July 1934, He Jianye finally successfully completed all his studies in this assessment, and the sniper assessment successfully defeated the best sniper in this group of training soldiers because he had a superhuman sixth sense.
At the foot of the Alps, in the training camp, on the training ground in front, there was a German general standing, who was wearing a special badge for qualified Wehrmacht soldiers, Hans came to He Jianye and asked, "He, your grades are very good, you have been qualified to join the Wehrmacht, you can now choose to stay in the Wehrmacht to serve, congratulations!" ”
"Ahh He Jianye, who looked stunned, was really surprised, it turned out that the honor he said when he first came was this?
"Oh! No, Hans, I want to go back to my own country, which was invaded by the Japanese in 1931 and still occupy a large part of our country, and I want to go back and do my part for the name of the suffering people in that land. He Jianye resolutely refused,
"Oh! What a pity, well! I wish you an early drive out of those invaders and fulfill your wishes. You can leave here tomorrow and go back to Hamburg. It's a pity that although you have excellent grades here, if you insist on returning to China, you will not be recognized here, and you will return home without any honor. Hans said,
"It doesn't matter, I've learned so much here and I've made a lot of friends in Germany, and I think that's what I've learned the most. Thank you, Hans! Thank you for your care in the past six months, my friend, and good luck! He Jianye said,
In the training camp that night, He Jianye slept in his tent as usual, but suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, feeling the danger approaching the tent, He Jianye climbed out from under the tent like a loach, and He Jianye, who was wearing a pair of shorts, held a saber in his hand. After a few minutes, I saw two black shadows burrow into the tent, and soon the two black shadows came out again, and the two black shadows put down the knives in their hands, lifted their masks, and shouted into the night, "He, come out!" You passed the final final exam. "It turned out that Hans had come with another instructor.
He Jianye came out of the night, still cautiously holding the saber, approached the two people, and said, "Hans, are you sure that the final assessment is at this time?" Why can't I trust you? ”
"Oh! Forget it, believe it or not, we're leaving, remember to pick up your personal belongings at the warehouse tomorrow morning at 8 a.m., and leave in the truck that came here to deliver supplies, and the truck will take you where you need to go. Goodbye, my friend! Hans finished and left.
Farewell to Hans with his eyes, He Jianye also had no intention of sleeping, so he practiced boxing outside the tent, and completely cooperated with the boxing method of breathing, and there was no sense of performance routine at the beginning, the next morning, He Jianye received his personal belongings in the warehouse, and after a happy wash in the bathroom, he was told by the administrator of the warehouse that as a souvenir, the special saber of the German Wehrmacht Army Tactical Institute could be taken away.
He Jianye, who had more sabers than when he first came, took the truck that came to deliver supplies and returned, and He Jianye, who followed the truck, had long lost interest in enjoying the scenery, but was looking forward to arriving in a certain city as soon as possible and sending a telegram home as soon as possible. At about 12 o'clock at noon, He Jianye arrived in Munich, under the guidance of the automobile soldiers, with a map to find the office of the Chinese officials in Munich, He Jianye, who had no intention of wandering around in Munich, was still told by the Chinese officials that He Jianye would not be arranged to go to the embassy in Hamburg until tomorrow at the earliest.
Looking at the diligence and rigor of the Germans, He Jianye remembered the fragile industrial base in China, "Hey! I don't know how penicillin research is going? It would be nice if it was developed now, there are too many things that can be exchanged for this thing. He Jianye thought while lying on the bed in the hotel.
Early the next morning, under the arrangement of Chinese officials, He Jianye stepped on the train to Hamburg, the German train is not only much more comfortable than in China, but He Jianye sitting on the train obviously feels that the speed is also much faster. After spending nearly 20 hours on the train, He Jianye arrived in Hamburg, and He Jianye, who was anxious to know the current situation of his family, directly rented a car and went directly to the Chinese embassy in Hamburg.
"He Jianye, welcome back from graduation, the officers and cadets who came to Germany with you have returned to China after the exchange last month." After the Chinese official in Germany finished speaking, he smiled and persuaded He Jianye: "Don't worry, I know that your place is inconvenient to contact the outside world, this is a letter from China, and a telegram from last month, all here, you can read slowly." By the way, you can spend a week in Hamburg for relaxation and travel, but at your own expense, if you want to return home as soon as possible, then you can let me know tomorrow and I will arrange it for you as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the ocean-going merchant ship to China has already departed yesterday, and you have to wait for the next merchant ship, so you have time to have a good time to do a good job in Germany. After speaking, he gave He Jianye half a box of letters and telegrams. Seeing that He Jianye couldn't wait to open the envelope, the official left with interest.
