Compared to those who were tormented on the front line, Lynn always felt that the time spent in the special operations force barracks passed very quickly, and seven days passed in a blink of an eye. Meditation alone is not only because of the abundance of food and the relative safety of the environment, but also because of the ability to see and be exposed to advanced equipment and special warfare skills that are unimaginable to civilians and ordinary soldiers. Unlike the instinct to simply survive when he first arrived, at this time, with more ambitious ideals, he devoted 100% of his energy to rigorous training every day. Perhaps because he has advanced military knowledge, or maybe he does have talent in this area, he quickly jumped from the backward to the advanced in parallel competitions such as gun basics, power principles, and driving skills, and even more quickly surpassed many soldiers who entered the training camp in advance.

The dinner on this day was extraordinarily rich.

Unlike most of the soldiers in the group, Lynn noticed the change in atmosphere from the beginning - Lorentz, who she hadn't seen for four days. Bach calmly sat at the head of the extra-long dining table, still wearing that handsome and cool black leather jacket, and the training officers in similar outfits were simply ornaments next to him. It could be seen that the young Waffen-SS lieutenant colonel looked a little tired, probably just after a long journey. In normal times, the veterans of the special operations forces don't always have dinner with the recruits, sometimes they eat earlier, sometimes later, but today the people sitting at the two long tables next to them are extraordinarily neat, and Eric, a non-commissioned officer whom Lynn has rarely seen since he entered the barracks, is among them.

Is this the graduation dinner for the soldiers of the reserves?

Lynn thought to himself that in this week's time, conventional firearms, anti-tank weapons, combat and non-combat vehicles, and electrical instruments, except for the boats and planes, which are difficult to master in the short term, have been learned, and the trainers have also arranged three nights for everyone to master the actual operation of the "vampire" infrared night vision device and the basic night combat mode. In the training with real guns, each person used up at least 200 rounds of ammunition and 10 explosives, and at this time Germany was already in a situation of extreme shortage of supplies!

Objectively self-estimating, Lynn felt that she should now be able to handle the normal intensity of the "Vampire" commando mission, like the sneak attack on the armored troops in the rear of the Soviet line through the Soviet line. If you can be assigned to the group that Sergeant Eric is in, you can also learn more combat experience from the veterans. However, with less than three months left before the end of the war, Lynn knew that a series of extremely tragic battles had taken place before the fall of the Empire, and that many officers and soldiers who had fanatical allegiance to the Führer had fought to the death on the battlefield. Therefore, Lynn made up his mind in his heart: to quickly accumulate combat merits, become the commander of a combat detachment as quickly as possible, establish a good relationship with his comrades, and once he is sent by his superior commander to carry out a very dangerous "death mission", or survive until Germany announces its surrender, pull up men, bring weapons, and find a place to avoid the search of the Allies, so that there is still a chance to do a great career after the war!

By the time the food on the plates of the surrounding soldiers had been swept away, Lynn heard the training officer shout on the ground: "Fighter Company, stand up!" ”

"Fighter Company" is the nickname he gave to this special operations reserve unit, and more than 130 people are about the size of an infantry company in wartime. These reserve soldiers, who originally belonged to different units and had different war experiences, did show a strong will to fight for most of the training.

Wow......

More than 130 people at the table stood up neatly, and the sound of the chairs moving sounded particularly imposing.

Before the procession, Lynn glanced at Bach deliberately, and the young lieutenant colonel sat impassive and continued his meal, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Looking around, the veterans were also engrossed in the hearty food in front of them.

The more this was the case, the more strange Lynn felt.

Under the leadership of the training officers, the reserve soldiers arrived at the combat training ground about 20 kilometers north of the barracks. Lynn had been here twice before, each time on a cross-country march from the barracks, followed by group confrontations and night combat simulations. Lynn heard from her roommates who shared a room with her that they had done four previous sessions at the venue, much the same as the ones that followed.

Located on the edge of a large birch forest, this combat training ground is mainly a "village" about the size of two football fields, and it is surrounded by the most common field fortifications on the battlefield, which are placed with scarecrows in Allied uniforms and realistic wooden tanks, vehicles, artillery, as well as field hospitals, ammunition depots, oil depots, and headquarters, almost everything that an Allied camp should have can be found here. However, when Lynn first came here, he remembered the village he had attacked with the Night Soldiers on the Eastern Front.

After all the personnel got out of the car, the training officer asked everyone to assemble in a line, announcing that tonight would be the last mock drill of the reserve team. The task of the entire "Gladiator Company" is to defend the village and prevent the enemy from destroying the three major objectives of the headquarters, ammunition depots, and oil depots. Due to the use of blank cartridges, both the attacker and the defender should take the initiative to withdraw from the battle if the opponent preemptively fires at them, and if they fire at the same time, it is judged to be "double dead".

After receiving 30 rounds of empty ammunition and a white cloth towel that had to be tied to their arms, the training officers made a very special request: All the soldiers should form their own teams, organize a combat squad of 10 people, form a combat platoon for every three squads, and organize individual personnel into the platoon headquarters and company headquarters. The squad members elect the squad leader, and the squad leaders decide the formation of the platoon, then select a platoon leader in the platoon, and finally the three platoon leaders elect a company commander.

The training officer spoke quickly, but fortunately, his voice was loud enough, and Lynn basically understood what he meant, and quickly made an analysis and calculation in his heart. Seven days was not enough time for him to get to know everyone in the reserves, let alone judge their abilities. So, when almost everyone was busy "looking for friends", Lynn stood silently on the sidelines.

The reserve training usually has six squads, and six soldiers are selected by the training officer to serve as the squad commanders. Naturally, when soldiers formed their own combat squads and platoons, they took the distribution of these squads plus dormitories as the main consideration. As for the people who are lonely, there are those who join halfway like Lynn, and there are also those who are usually silent or have bad popularity.

The training officers let the lone ones stand aside and let the squad leaders form their own platoons. After some slight arguments, the twelve combat squads were divided into four combat platoons, and the person with the highest rank or the most eye-catching training in ordinary life was the platoon commander, and the combat squads that were not included in the formation were then carried by the training officers to the group of lonely.

Like setting up a stall to sell fruit, the training officer stood next to these lone people and announced loudly: "Each platoon needs two soldiers to serve as platoon guards and communications personnel, please choose freely among these people!" ”

After that, he stood there unhurriedly and coldly watched the platoon commanders choose.

Lynn deliberately took a half-step back.

Soon, eight soldiers were selected by the platoon commanders, and the remaining 7 including Lynn (please don't count the 132 people in the previous chapter, there will be changes in personnel during this week).

"You serve as company guards and communicators!"

When he spoke, the training officer did not show any obvious praise or disapproval of the unclaimed. Immediately afterwards, he turned around and loudly announced to the soldiers who were already lined up according to the squad formation:

"Everyone, please remember the squad and platoon you are in now, from now on until the higher commander makes new adjustments, you will act according to this formation!"

There were those in the team who were surprised, and there were those who were lucky.

Lynn could feel the frustration and worry of the four people around her, but straightened her chest completely unmoved.

With an unprecedented seriousness, the training officer said solemnly:

"Alright, then, elect your own company commander. Note that his judgment will be related to the victory or defeat of this force, and to the fate of each and every one of you! ”
