So the joint training of the expeditionary force and the South African army began. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In fact, the joint training was only a face-saving experience for the British army and even for Britain...... Zhang Chi didn't care about this, if he wanted to save face, he would like to get real benefits, and if the combat effectiveness of the South African 1st Division could be enhanced, it would obviously be beneficial to the Chinese army.

However, this training did not go well from the beginning, in fact, it was not smooth, and it simply made the instructors sent out by the expeditionary force so angry that they wanted to hit the wall.

Needless to say, the second day of the training, the countrymen decided to formulate an iron law for the South African 1st Division, that is, the discipline that was later called the "three don'ts" by the South African 1st Division.

First: Don't get crushed by a car.

Second: Don't be beaten to death by others.

Third: Don't crush or beat someone to death.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this iron law, how does this look like teaching kindergarten children?

But the fellow townsman sighed and replied, "General, don't you know, these South African soldiers...... It's not easy to do these three things! ”

It turned out that the South African soldiers did not have any sense of safety at all during training or combat.

This may have something to do with the fact that their usual life is more primitive...... Africa is vast and sparsely populated and there are basically no cars, and there are only a few people living in a large desert, so there is no need to worry about cars coming and going and giving way to cars, so after joining the army, there is also no awareness of giving way, although the horn behind has been honking all the way.

As for not being beaten to death by others...... It is because the South African soldiers often lose everything, and they don't even know whether there are bullets in the gun, so they go up with the gun with the bullet in the training, and the misfire is still trivial, and they also like to pull the trigger majestically when doing tactical actions, so the gunfire is a "bang" piece, and the instructor was stunned on the spot.

Fortunately, the South African soldiers are not good at marksmanship, otherwise they will inevitably cause a few lives.

Then the fellow villagers poured bitter water on Zhang Chi: "General, look at these South African soldiers...... If you want culture, you don't have culture, you want discipline and you don't have discipline, you can't teach a simple tactical move, and you always make some mess. To put it mildly, even if you recruit some ruffians to train for a few months, you will be better than them! Look at this ......."

"If it's not difficult, why do you need to train?" Zhang Chi interrupted his fellow villagers: "Besides, can the ruffians win the battle like them? Could it be that their attack on the Germans was fake? ”

As soon as he said this, his fellow villagers were silent.

This is true, and the townsfolk watched the South African soldiers rush to the German lines, but the South African soldiers were almost two different units from the South African soldiers who are now trained.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said: "Actually, the British should have done similar training, but the effect is not good!" ”

"Yes!" The fellow townsman replied: "I have communicated with Brigadier General Jack, and they also train in these subjects, and they also have these headaches. Brigadier General Jack also said that these South African soldiers are quite obedient under us, and if they are British officers, I am afraid that they will not be able to call for a long time! ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded.

Although he did not have much contact with the South African soldiers, Zhang Chi could still feel the respect and goodwill of the South African soldiers for the Chinese troops, such as the battle of Alexandria, and they would spontaneously participate in the battle.

"So it seems ......," Zhang Chi said, "It seems that the South African 1st Division is not suitable for regular combat training!" ”

"The general means ......"

"Do you remember that when we were fighting the little devils in Burma, the little devils had the help of the Burmese guerrillas?"

"Of course I do!" The fellow villager replied: "Those Burmese guerrillas are really troublesome, especially the Burmese knife, hiding in the jungle and being cold is a knife...... The general is saying......"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi continued: "South African soldiers may have lived in a primitive state for too long, and their living habits and cultural level are somewhat incompatible with modern warfare and mechanized warfare. ”

"Ahh The fellow countryman slapped his thigh: "How did I forget that South Africans are locals!" ”

Fellow villagers will do what they say, and immediately change the direction of training and formulate corresponding training subjects.

These training subjects are also familiar to the Chinese army, and when the Chinese army was fighting the Japanese army at home, it had to choose tactics such as guerrilla and sneak attack because the gap between the equipment and the Japanese army was too great.

Of course, there is still a big gap between the guerrilla tactics and experience of the Nationalist army and the communist army, but it is enough to apply it to the South African 1st Division.

The South African 1st Division was also very comfortable in these training subjects, in fact, they were almost untaught, such as stealth, harassment, etc., as they often did when hunting on flat ground.

They even have an innate advantage, they can even save camouflage when attacking at night, as long as the military uniform is taken off, it is pitch black and naturally blends with the night.

Camouflage is also very convenient, most of the African natives have no clothes, so they have a cloth around their lower body, and no one can recognize them when they drill into the village at any time.

And then what hand-to-hand combat...... These African soldiers don't need to be taught at all, they are born with a specialty in this area for a living from hunting, and sometimes they wrestle and play when they have nothing to do.

The problem is still modern equipment, such as explosives, mines, etc.

When you infiltrate enemy lines, you always have to find a target and load it with explosives, and you must plant mines when you sneak around enemy units to carry out harassment operations.

So the iron rule of the countrymen soon added two more words: "Don't be blown up by explosives!" Don't get blown up by mines! ”

However, these problems are not very big, firstly, the South African soldiers are after all the soldiers of the South African 1st Division, and they have been trained in this area before and even have actual combat experience...... The role of the South African 1st Division on the battlefield, in addition to building fortifications, was to be used for mine clearance. Therefore, they still have some basic skills in landmines, but they are all Madahar, and they often do not know where they are after planting mines, or they do not notify friendly forces after planting mines.

On the other hand, the villagers just made up their minds to let them "specialize in the art industry", that is, they didn't learn any shooting postures, tactical coordination, etc., just learn explosives, mines, and pounding over and over again, even if they are fools after a long time, they can learn it!
