From a reserve soldier to an "alternate elite", the intensity of physical training was much reduced, and in its place was a lot of military courses, team drills, and practice in the barracks headquarters - this was the command center of the "vampire" commando, and even Bach spent a lot of time here to strategize, and in just a few days, Lynn saw the devilish side of the young lieutenant colonel: working at least eighteen hours a day and always maintaining a vigorous energy, and a surprisingly good memory, Everything is under his control.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Lynn wouldn't have believed that there was such a perfect person in this world!

Since it is a command headquarters, it is naturally indispensable to transmit operational information. Indeed, as Lynn knew, Germany was on the verge of collapse at this time. On both the Eastern and Western Fronts, news of the loss of defensive lines and the destruction of strongholds came almost every day, and the more sunny the weather, the more frequent the bad news. In this case, the most common occurrence of the orders of the Supreme Command is "stubborn defense" and "counterattack". In the case that the front-line combat units were unable to regain their positions despite their best efforts, the "vampire" commandos, which were good at night fighting, became the firefighting team of the Eastern and Western Fronts. Sometimes, a night combat squad of twenty or thirty people acted alone, disrupting the opponent's deployment by attacking the enemy's headquarters or logistics center at night, and creating opportunities for their own troops to counterattack; Sometimes, night troops and regular soldiers operate in tandem to attack enemy positions under cover of night – in addition to the "Night Warriors" equipped with infrared night vision devices, the battalion-level "Vampire" commandos also have a company-sized armored unit. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, through contact with the relevant information of the headquarters, Lynn learned that the vehicle-mounted infrared searchlight and night vision devices had been successfully equipped with the Leopard tank, and showed strong night combat capabilities in combat operations.

The more he learned, the more Lynn's admiration for the Vampire Commando grew. You must know that this is not the era of seals and alpha, but the distant year of 1945. Most countries are still following the traditional mode of warfare, competing for the number of aircraft, tanks and warships, and special operations are still in the embryonic stage of development.

However, even with its outstanding technological superiority, the "vampire" commandos were far from being able to handle them on the Eastern and Western Fronts, and the biggest constraint on this was the production of special equipment. Although Lynn was unable to find out the exact figures, it can be inferred that there are no more than 50 Leopard tanks equipped with infrared equipment, together with armored vehicles for auxiliary operations, and only more than 100 sets of infrared night vision devices for individual use, and the monthly production of these expensive equipment is very low. Because of this, Bach had to make careful calculations to make the most of the existing equipment, and asked the "Night Soldiers" to do their best to protect the night vision equipment.

In addition to sympathy, Lynn also felt helpless. His admiration for Bach led him to develop the idea of convincing the young SS lieutenant colonel to pursue a career after the war. With his full support, it would have been much easier to secretly pull away the troops and equipment when Germany surrendered. Lynn, however, was troubled by how to speak to the god-like young lieutenant colonel, for any attempt to stand on his own would be a defection until Germany was completely defeated. Once alone, Lynn wanted to beat the side drum, which showed Bach's righteousness, but he still swallowed back the words when he came to his mouth.

Before you know it, the ten days as an alternate elite are over. In a test conducted by Bach himself, Lynn won the overall score by an absolute margin with decades of knowledge and insight ahead of his time, and for a special purpose, he was also very active in getting along with his colleagues around him, so he was highly praised. On the second day of his graduation, Bach personally conferred on him the rank of Alternate Sergeant of the Waffen-SS, allowing him to "rise three ranks in a row" in just half a month. It's just that at the end of the war, in order to boost the morale of the front-line soldiers, battlefield promotions and medals of honor were quite "overflowing", and it is not surprising that this "triple jump" at the lowest level is not surprising.

The four soldiers who were also selected as elite candidates were also rewarded with a promotion to one rank, and the commando command announced the distribution of five candidate elites: two to serve as platoon deputy positions in units composed of new commandos who received basic training at the same time, one to the armored company directly under the commando, and two to remain in the commando staff headquarters to do basic staff work.

To Lynn's surprise, he became one of the two remaining on the staff, despite showing a strong willingness to go to the frontline troops in previous conversations with the officers. Thinking that it would be good to be able to learn more things from Bach's side, I accepted the assignment and stayed at ease.

In terms of the number of combatants, the "Vampire" commando is at best a reinforced battalion-sized force, but its command has reached a higher level in terms of facilities, equipment and staff staffing. In Bach's own words, many Wehrmacht military departments were not yet as good as this. From Bach downwards, there were more than sixty full-time staff officers and technicians in the command, and the soldiers in charge of internal and external security also had a whole arrangement—the remote location and the tight security made Lynn feel like she was in a scene in a stand-alone version of the Medal of Honor. The same secret German base in the snowy jungle, the same semi-underground fortifications of reinforced concrete, and even the MP44 assault rifle in the sentry's hand is the same. The difference was that he wore a brand-new SS cadet uniform and a military cap with an eagle insignia, standing in this doomed camp, waiting for his opportunity.

"Hey, man! What are you thinking? ”

Hearing this voice, Lynn deliberately turned his head with a melancholy expression: "Homesick!" ”

The mood of the person who came was not bad, but when he heard Lynn say this, he sighed with vicissitudes: "Alas, I don't know when I will be able to see my family again!" ”

Lynn pulled her cigarette out of her pocket with a natural movement. By the time he was in the second phase of his training as an alternate elite, he had already joined the "Vampire" commando team, and was treated as a full-fledged member - two packs of cigarettes a week, in addition to a quota of cigarettes and sugar in exchange for additional cigarettes. Combined with the half of the quota he got when he was a reserve player, Lynn has already saved up three packs by this time. Usually reluctant to smoke, but every time I see this "Danish countryman" Gulf, who is also a foreigner. Diglio, he never skimps on anything.

After taking two puffs of his cigarette, Diglio's expression relaxed slightly: "The war will end!" Sooner or later! ”

"Yes, sooner or later!" Lynn always expresses her feelings like this, but not because she is not assertive. Unlike a big soldier like himself, Diglio was a high-achieving graduate of mechanical engineering, who was called up to join the SS as early as 1940, and was appreciated and reused by his superiors, and now has risen to the rank of second lieutenant in the Waffen-SS, and is responsible for ordnance deployment in the command - if it had been a few years earlier or before the outbreak of war, this would have been a public-private affair, but the current situation has become a nightmare for every quartermaster in the German army: the demand at the front is huge, the supply at the rear is difficult, and it is coordinated by personal ability alone, In the end, it can only be a thankless task.

The more so, the more Lynn regarded himself as a fellow countryman and a little brother, and his admiration was like a surging river, and he inadvertently revealed his "genius ideas" in construction machinery when chatting, which made Diglio sometimes full of confidence and sometimes full of reverie. In addition, the two are almost the same age, and their external surnames are relatively easy-going and tolerant, and they quickly became friends in private.

"Don't think about it so much, just let it be!" Diglio stabbed Lynn with his elbow, "Let's go to gun practice together during the afternoon break!" Compare to see who has the highest hit rate, bet on five cigarettes! ”

"Well, good!" Lynn's tone sounded a little more positive. As a staff officer of the commando headquarters, daily gun training is a compulsory subject to maintain individual combat effectiveness and relieve mental pressure, but in the harsh environment, the ammunition here is not an unlimited supply. Under normal circumstances, there is a quota of 10 rifle rounds and 15 pistol rounds per person per day. If you just want to stay in shape, these are fine, but if you want to take your archery to the next level, these are not enough!
