Chapter 742: Exercise
Thanks to the efforts of his fellow villagers and the soldiers of the expeditionary force, the South African soldiers had already achieved initial results two weeks later. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhang Chi watched their training during this period.
The training was conducted at night, mainly because these tactics of the South African 1st Division were clearly better used at night.
It really looks like that, especially the South African soldiers are used to not wearing shoes, which is really called silent landing, and what is even more powerful is that because they don't wear shoes, they have more opportunities to perceive the situation on the ground, such as they can sensitively detect stepping on a mine and react faster.
Plus their skin color...... If it's darker, you won't be able to notice it even if you walk in front of you.
As for the infiltration and harassment tasks, they are actually very simple for them, because the tasks themselves require them to make random calls, and they happen to only make random calls.
Therefore, several exercises have been very successful, and the only flaw is that the two sides of the exercise are too involved in fighting, and then they really fight...... African soldiers are like this, they often do things on the spur of the moment or as soon as they get angry.
For example, during the exercise, the blue side attacked the red side from the rear, and the red side should have been "stabbed to death" by the military stab, but the red side thought that the blue side was too heavy and hurt him, so he "came back from the dead" and scuffled with the blue side as soon as he turned over.
At first, it was just a quarrel between two people, but the tribes of both sides soon came up to help, and it soon turned into a conflict between the two tribes.
The fellow villagers and the instructors could only stare with their mouths open outside, and it took a long time for the villagers to scold: "Damn, these rabbits can't save me snacks!" ”
In the end, if it weren't for the Chinese instructors waiting for the countrymen to stop them, I was afraid that the two tribes would have to bring their own tribal alliances, and then this fight would get bigger and bigger......
It's no wonder that some people say that Africans are not united, and it is strange that they can unite if they are so impulsive, casual, and fight regardless of whether they go up or not.
But even so, this exercise surprised Brigadier General Jack and other officers.
"God, you did it!" Brigadier General Jack looked at Zhang Chi with incredulous eyes: "I can't believe it, and it's only taken a few weeks...... You've even trained them to be like special forces! ”
(Note: The Special Forces are the predecessor of the British Special Forces)
Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, this seems to be a bit reasonable, these things done by African soldiers seem to be done by special forces.
Merely......
The South African 1st Division really can't be said to be a special forces, because they are almost unorganized and undisciplined, and Zhang Chi even believes that they may fight with their own people even on the battlefield.
So, perhaps, it would be more appropriate to call them partisans.
But it doesn't matter what kind of unit he is, as long as it can be useful on the battlefield.
South Africa 1st Division, Zhang Chi was relieved to hand over to his fellow villagers for training.
After everything came to an end, Zhang Chi was free, and then he thought: Where is Page? Why didn't she do her duty as a journalist and follow the news? Alexandria is now the news location!
Speaking of which, this can also be regarded as a kind of sadness, at this time, it is not like in modern times that everyone has a mobile phone in their hands, and they only need to dial a phone number to find each other at any time.
In this era, you have to make phone calls, and because Zhang Chi is a soldier and the commander of an army, even the phone number must be kept secret for the sake of confidentiality...... So although Zhang Chi and Page are both in Africa, and they are not even far from each other, they can't contact anyone.
Page was at the Port Said dock at this time, and the reason why she didn't follow the news to Alexandria...... In fact, she really wanted to do so, because she heard that Zhang Chi had won another big battle.
But she had to put it aside for the time being, because she had heard that her brother Henry was going to be transferred to Africa.
This was the practice of the British army, and unlike Germany, Britain had always regarded Africa as its main battlefield, and Britain itself did not need an army defense...... The Army would only consume much food and nothing to do on the British island.
So the army was sent to the North African theater or the European theater in batches.
The steamer slowly stopped on the dock, and Page looked at the port number X53, which was the same ship Henry was on...... Page couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she had always worried that something would happen to it at sea, after all, the sea was now full of German planes, and under the water were their submarines.
The crowd soon poured down from the steamer, and Page found Henry in it without much effort, though he had grown up after a few months. Page shouted excitedly and waved vigorously.
After a warm hug, Page couldn't wait to ask, "There are no other tasks!" ”
"I don't think so!" Henry replied: "We arrived a day earlier than expected, and I can report back to the troops tomorrow!" ”
"Good!" Paige said, "I want to take you to meet someone!" ”
"Who?" Henry was a little puzzled, he couldn't remember any acquaintances he had here.
"Have you read all the articles I wrote?" Page asked.
"Of course, read every one!" Henry replied.
"Then you must know about the Chinese troops!" Page said: "And the commander of the Chinese troops! ”
"We're going to see the commander of the Chinese troops?" Henry's eyes widened.
The fellow named Zhang Chi had been a celebrity lately, and his victories in Maharama and Alexandria had long since spread throughout England, and he had heard about him even on the ships.
"Yes!" Page nodded.
"But ......," Henry still didn't figure out one thing: "Why does he want to see me?" I mean...... I'm not going to serve in the Chinese army! ”
Page smiled smugly, pursed her lips and didn't speak.
Henry seemed to know something: "It's not true, he became your boyfriend?" ”
"Any comments?" Page asked rhetorically.
"No, of course no comment!" Henry replied, "I want to see this legend too!" ”
So, Page and Henry stood in front of Zhang Chi a few hours later.
Zhang Chi's headquarters is not difficult to find, and Page is also a journalist, and many of the expeditionary force soldiers recognize her.
It's just that this caught Zhang Chi a little off guard...... Paige's family? How should I deal with it?!
Zhang Chi had never experienced such a thing, he couldn't help but look at the handsome and young colonel in front of him in a daze, and then glanced at Page reproachfully: Why didn't you tell him in advance.
