Unconsciously, Han Zheng and others have been in Berlin for a year......

According to the school's arrangement for everyone this year, Han Zheng and others have already made a relatively in-depth understanding of the tactical movements and command art of infantry combat.

At the same time, everyone also began to have a deeper contact with some theories about the cooperative operations of various arms and infantry, such as the coordinated operation of infantry and artillery, the arrangement of the charging formation queue, and the ways and methods of defending and building positions......

Therefore, the first year in Germany can be said to be a busy and fulfilling year for Han Zheng.

In fact, if we talk about it, the gap between Han Zheng and his German classmates is still not negligible, but we have to take into account more things.

When Han Zheng and the others first arrived in Berlin, Germany, because many domestic trainees were not familiar with the performance of various vehicles and advanced weapons, or had never even heard of them, they naturally made a lot of jokes about the driving of vehicles, the use of weapons, and the application of tactics.

At that time, there was not even the concept of cooperative combat among arms in China, let alone advanced military facilities such as chariots and troop carriers.

Han Zheng knew this kind of thought, but he had been watching coldly, he wanted to let his compatriots and classmates experience something by themselves.

Sure enough, everyone's minds were quickly changed......

This change is due to a military exercise. After Instructor Weiss and some other instructors of the other sections led all the students to visit an ordinary exercise of the Berlin garrison, the power generated by the coordinated operation was vividly presented in front of the eyes of all the students studying abroad, real and shocking, and told everyone with facts what is the real modern war.

Since that visit to the military exercise, whenever Han Zheng and the others get together, Han Zheng has never heard anyone say that he despises the synthetic cooperation tactics between the arms......

In the future, everyone began to take the initiative to learn those things they didn't know, especially those who had not touched the personnel carrier and other machinery and other equipment before, although they encountered difficulties again and again, but these difficulties did not stump them, they were not afraid of the jokes of the German classmates, humbly and diligently studied and absorbed everything here.

Among them, because Han Zheng has the experience of his previous life, after all, he has been exposed to mechanical power in his previous life, and he understands some basic general principles, and when he meets Guderian, he will also ask the other party for some operation problems of mechanized principles, so in the process of learning, Han Zheng has made the fastest progress.

As for the other thing that made Han Zheng happy, it was naturally determined that there was a long-pending matter, that is, after being in contact with Guderian for so long, Han Zheng finally confirmed one thing, that is, Guderian was indeed the famous German general in later history!

Although he wondered why the other party did not leave his father's command in 1908 and go to the military academy in Metz, but left his father's command in 1909 and returned to the army academy in Berlin to continue his studies, this does not negate his judgment.

For this inexplicable thing, secretly Han Zheng can only be attributed to the welfare of the heavens to the traverser......

The old times are gone, the New Year is approaching, the domestic news for Han Zheng and others, is still difficult to get through, can only read between the lines of some local newspapers, looking for a little bit of information, they have not even received any letters from the country, everyone seems to be forgotten in this foreign country, here, the only thing these students can do is to do their best to study, and then wait for the news of the country in the study.

Time passed quickly, and the school decided to hold a grand military exercise as a year-end assessment on the occasion of Christmas, so as to test the learning results of the students, and the content of the assessment was to intersperse some joint military confrontation of various branches in addition to their major arms.

In the face of this assessment, Han Zheng and others were quite serious, and this assessment was a major test to check the knowledge that Han Zheng had learned in the past year, and it was related to whether they could truly win the respect of all German instructors and German classmates.

Therefore, after meeting with everyone, it was decided that in this assessment, they would go all out and draw a complete end to the year 1910 with excellent results.

On December 12, 1910, the whole school was ready to start the assessment, I don't know if it was a joke made by the German school, but no one wanted to compete with Han to be in the same team, especially in the joint arms confrontation, almost all the Chinese students were placed in a group.

For this situation, everyone could only endure it, and Han Zheng led all the team members as the team leader. Subordinate to the red team attacker, but as a result, they were excluded from the core by the red team, and no one was optimistic about them, even if Guderian admitted that Han Zheng Wang Xian and others were excellent in their respective fields of self-cultivation, but for coordinated operations, everyone thought that their role could almost be ignored, and even drag down the strength of the entire friendly army.

Therefore, with the acquiescence or ignorance of all parties, in this exercise, Han Zheng and others were finally arranged as infantry observation posts on the red side.

When receiving the task of their own team, although everyone was not convinced, they did not dare to openly disobey the military order, so they had to go next, and after assigning the task, Han Zheng, Wang Xian and others also temporarily returned to the dormitory, ready to start preparing for the war.

"Brother Shaowu, what do you mean by these Germans? Doesn't this mean that they look down on us and don't believe in us? We'll just stop being observers, just find a place to hide and sleep. ”

As soon as Wang Xian arrived at the dormitory, he said with some annoyance: "Although the other brothers don't say it, which one is not angry?" Usually the training is no worse than their Germans, but in the end it is not like this. ”

Han Zheng looked at Wang Xian, who had a bitter and resentful face, how could he not know what was going on, wasn't it that his country was poor and weak, and their students were also angry.

Thinking of this, he didn't think about it any further, and took Wang Xian's words and said, "You really think so?" In that case, our hard training this year will be buried, and won't they look down on us even more, and, you think, what are we learning these things for? Not for the sake of being competitive here and rushing to perform, but for the future! ”

When Wang Xian and the others heard Han Zheng's words, they smiled a little wryly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Aren't I talking angry, don't try to behave at this time, don't talk about me, it is estimated that Brother Shaowu is also unwilling, the more they look down on us, we want them to see that we are no worse than them." ”

"Yes, that's it, you also tell the brothers of the other subjects, don't be discouraged, we must behave beautifully when the time comes, let them see the momentum of the ** among us." ……

The next day, December 13, the year-end assessment officially began on this day.

The Blue Side, composed of cadets from the Infantry, Artillery, and Armor Sections, as well as some other technical units such as engineers, built defensive positions in a mountainous area outside the outskirts of Berlin, and built defensive firepower according to the standard configuration.

The red side consisted mainly of infantry sections, artillery sections, armored mobile offensive units.

The two sides have the same number of troops and firepower, but on the whole the defenders have the upper hand, as long as they prevent the opponent from capturing the set target point within the specified time.

At this time, Han Zheng and the others were given a simple task by their own side to observe the movements of the other party, and then they didn't bother to ask, and left them there like abandonments, and it is estimated that the person who issued the order had forgotten them at this time.

Han Zheng glanced at the surrounding members and said, "Let's go, let's observe the enemy's movements, and then look for fighters and fight for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, understand?" ”

"Understood!" After receiving a definite answer, he led the neglected team to the enemy position.

In the frontal battlefield, at this time there was already a fierce exchange of fire, the red side first launched an attack, first used a large number of artillery to bombard the blue position, but because the blue position was built with these in advance, the bombardment did not cause any powerful results, and the blue artillery position remained silent until the red artillery fire stopped, the blue artillery position began to roar, and in one fell swoop the red artillery had not had time to transfer the artillery to destroy and cripple, the red artillery at this time, has not achieved the corresponding results, was sentenced to be incapacitated and left the battlefield.

After resting for a while, the Red side had to change its tactics and start a cooperative attack with infantry and armored vehicles......

In the rear, some of the instructors gathered together, listening to the battle reports from the front, and discussing the way the red team would attack and the blue team's defense.

Instructor Weiss spoke first: "There is a problem with the offensive method of the red side, when the artillery carries out covering bombing, the infantry and armored troops are not allowed to take advantage of the situation to attack in one fell swoop, resulting in the disjointed attack and the loss of the best opportunity to attack, and at the same time, the most serious thing is that after the artillery positions are exposed, there is a lack of effective blocking, and the artillery fire is diverted, which eventually leads to the destruction of the artillery. If there are no major accidents in this assessment exercise, there will be almost no suspense, even if the offensive mode is changed now, but without the cover of artillery, the infantry and armored troops will be directly exposed to the artillery fire of the blue side until the last drop of blood is shed. ”

As soon as Weiss's words fell, the other instructors agreed, and now they were just waiting for the final result.

Behind the blue position, Han Zheng lurked behind a small hill with his group, due to the small number of people, it was easier for them to approach the rear of the blue position, especially now that the blue side was about to win and prepare for a counterattack, at this time no one would have thought that this army of soldiers who did not pay attention to it came here.

"Captain, go on, it's too late to go up." Wang Xian lay beside Han Zheng and whispered to Han Zheng.

"Wait, it's useless for us to go up, let's find out the artillery unit of the Blue Army first, knock out the artillery, and it can also reduce the pressure on the army in front." Han Zheng replied, and then led the people out of here and walked towards the artillery position that was raging on the blue side.

Sure enough, as Han Zheng expected, as the blue side began to launch a full-scale counteroffensive, almost all the soldiers rushed out of the trenches and launched an attack on the remnants of the attacking troops of the red side.

"This is the time! Brothers, rush! Han Zheng stood up suddenly, shouted, and rushed forward, and all the members began to follow Han Zheng, shouting "Rush!" "Plunge at the Blue artillery positions!

For the blue side, this change was too sudden, due to the smooth attack at the front, all the combat troops counterattacked the enemy on all fronts, so that the artillery position of the blue army became a naked beauty of the red fruit, and it was presented in front of the group of wolves Han Zheng!

The artillery position of the Blue Army, which had almost no defensive strength, was stunned for a moment when he heard the shouting of killing behind him, and Han Zheng's voice also came, "You have been surrounded, put down your arms and surrender." ”……

In front of the position, the suppressed red troops finally found that the artillery fire on their heads stopped, and then saw their own soldiers appear behind the blue side again, and they were instantly overjoyed, although they didn't know what the situation was, but they made them resist stubbornly again, and the collapsed station line actually had a tendency to stabilize!

At this critical moment, the commander of the blue side reacted extremely quickly, shouting that a group of soldiers were dispatched to intercept the attack line of Han Zheng and the others from behind, while the rest of the people ignored it and continued to launch a final general attack on the remaining personnel of the red side, intending to break through the opponent's blockade line before the red side stabilized......

The results of the exercise came out, but Han Zheng's surprise attack did not turn the red side into a victory in the end, but because Han Zheng appeared at the right time later, the blue side also suffered heavy casualties, and the red side almost turned defeat into victory, so strictly speaking, the blue side can only be regarded as a crushing victory.

In this way, Han Zheng, a Chinese student who no one paid attention to and did not pay much attention, was stunned to make the blue side fall short, if it were not for the heavy losses of the red side in the previous attack, and the quick reaction of the blue commander, the result would really be reversed.

Therefore, this inconspicuous team can be described as a big show in this assessment, and even somewhat overshadowed the winning side of the blue side.

After the actual combat assessment, all the examiners spoke highly of the performance of Han Zheng and others.

Afterwards, Guderian asked Han Zheng: "Your country does not have so many armored vehicles and artillery and other arms, is it useful for you to study so seriously after returning to China?" ”

This sentence suddenly reminded Han Zheng of a sentence from later generations, and he couldn't help but reply with some bad taste: "One day, there will be bread - no, it will be there for the troops, armored vehicles, artillery, everything." In the end, he said with a little emotion: "In the future of China, these must have-"
