Chapter 139: We have to see if Donghui can pass this hurdle!
Good fighters are all fed by bullets. Cheng Gong has never been stingy in this regard. In Cheng Gong's thinking on managing the army, people are more important than weapons, weapons are just tools, and talent is the foundation.
It is precisely this concept that dooms the military thinking of the Donghui National Defense Force not to fight a war of attrition with the enemy. A commander who is not responsible for the lives of a soldier cannot be called a qualified commander. This is a very typical style that the Donghui National Defense Force has inherited since the beginning of its establishment.
Whether it is Paradise Island or Dawn Island, anyone who approaches the station of the Donghui Defense Force is guaranteed to hear the continuous sound of shooting and explosions coming from the barracks every day. Those who don't know why will mistakenly think that there is a fierce battle going on in the camp.
This is a field training ground designed entirely in accordance with the needs of actual combat. Nearly one square kilometer of ground is full of barbed wire, trenches, tunnels, barrier walls, single-plank bridges, mud puddles and other simulated fortifications and positions.
Dressed in camouflage training uniforms and field steel helmets, the figures covered in mud sometimes rushed and jumped on the battlefield, sometimes tumbling and rolling, and sometimes crawling.
Otto Skorzne, whose face was covered in mud and weeds, was cowering in a tunnel, holding a C38 assault rifle in his arms, his back against the muddy tunnel wall, panting heavily.
Next to him was another German SS officer Griezmann, whose face was crumbling, who was now cautiously lying on the side wall of the one-meter-and-a-half-deep tunnel, holding binoculars in both hands and carefully observing the movement on the other side.
"Boss, although it's a rubber warhead, it's not easy to hit your body!" Griezmann muttered as he said to Skorzny beside him: "We are brutally abused by these Donghui people every day, when will this kind of day end!" β
"It's better to suffer rubber warheads now than to suffer the enemy's live warheads on the battlefield!" Skorzne said in a muffled voice with an expressionless face: "This time I came to Donghui for military exchanges, it is the most correct decision I have made in my life, because the special forces of the Donghui Marine Corps are the special forces in the true sense!" Their special operations concepts and theories have completely supported some of my previous tactical thinking. After returning home, I will definitely apply to the FΓΌhrer to form special forces belonging to Germany! β
In response to the increasing military power of Britain and France against Australia, Germany and Dongying also sent their own elite troops to Donghui.
Hitler sent two full SS divisions, while Hirohito sent the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Praetorian Guards to Akebono Island.
In addition, according to the verbal agreement reached with Cheng Gong at the beginning, most of the main forces of the Dongying Navy's combined fleet are also on the route to Shuguang Island.
It is clear to the international community that the island of New Guinea is gradually turning into a huge powder keg. This powder keg was even more explosive than the Spanish Civil War that had occurred two years earlier.
It was precisely because of the experience of the Spanish Civil War that the two camps of the Allies and the Axis paid more and more attention to each other's wrestling on the island of New Guinea. Everyone was preparing to sharpen their fists, and they were all eager to know how great Donghui's military strength and war potential really were.
At present, Donghui has announced that it has deployed three marine divisions in Zhennan Province and Dingnan Province, one of which is the "Air Cavalry Division" that once made a public appearance.
The combat effectiveness of this "air riding division" has not yet been determined, but the speed with which the division has demonstrated its rapid response tactical mobilization has really made the eyes of all military strategists in the world fall to the ground.
Obviously, the 1st Marine Division of the Donghui Marine Corps is opening a new mode of warfare, and they have abandoned the armored tank units that all countries are focusing on developing, and have replaced them with armed helicopters, general-purpose helicopters, transport helicopters, and fixed-wing ground attack aircraft, as if they have given wings to the tank armored forces!
This kind of air cavalry unit, which no one has ever tried, is theoretically more powerful than the armored forces on the ground. But the premise is that there must be complete air supremacy and anti-air defense. Therefore, whether it is good or bad, no one can say for sure.
However, there is one point that makes all countries unwilling and afraid to try to form such an air riding division, because the military expenditure required to form such a force is too large. No government has the financial resources to support such a gold-eating monster.
Britain, France, and the United States want to know the real combat power of the Donghui Marine Corps, and Germany and Dongying also want to know. However, so far, none of the German SS and Janissaries on Apoqueville Island have seen the training of air jockeys on the training ground.
In the process of combining the German SS and the Dongying Janissaries and Janissaries of the Donghui Wehrmacht, the most important thing that was required was the ability of the three sides to coordinate their arms on the battlefield.
The quasi-combat training that this unit led by Skorzny is only a small microcosm of the confrontation exercises of various arms.
The recent military confrontation had knocked out the last vestige of the German army, and all the Germans on Dawn had to bow their noble heads.
As one of the many elite generals of the German Army, Skorzny is now seizing every minute and striving to learn more about the theory and practice of special operations tactics from the Donghui special forces.
It's a pity that Skorzny didn't know that his Donghui master would teach what he should teach, and he wouldn't reveal a word about what he shouldn't teach.
For example, the kind of positional offensive and defensive operations held today are obviously misleading the German special forces, and they have put forward an upright reason, and attacking tough battles is also one of the compulsory courses for special forces.
"Boss, I really don't understand why these Huaxia people have changed so much after they arrive in the Donghui Kingdom." Griezmann put down the binoculars, leaned his back against the wall of the trench, and said very depressedly: "I have followed General Seckert to conduct an in-depth and detailed investigation of the National Revolutionary Army of the Chinese National Government, and I don't think there is anything special about these yellow people. However, the soldiers in the Donghui Special Forces are obviously from the former National Revolutionary Army, how can they have such a strong physical fitness and technical and tactical level? β
"Not all yellow people can be compared to Donghui people." Skorzny gently patted the C38 assault rifle in his arms and whispered: "For example, this kind of assault rifle, except for the Donghui people, who else in this world can have such a wonderful idea?" The combat effectiveness of the Donghui people, to put it bluntly, is piled up by gold! The national government you are talking about, can they have such strong financial resources and national strength as the Donghui Kingdom? The Donghui people are definitely an alternative group of people in this world, and they are all illegitimate children of God. β
"Boss, why don't we also apply for immigration to Donghui?" Griezmann whispered in Skorzny's ear in a low voice.
"Let's wait until Donghui has passed the current difficulty!" Skorzny turned his face to look at the eastern sky, and muttered: "Now that the British and French are actively seeking to instigate Australia to go to war with Donghui, whether Donghui can become a power in the true sense of the word, must be proved through war." β
