Chapter 64: Snow in the North

Snow!

The heavy snow falling from the sky, the vast Outer Mongolian grassland is covered with silver, forming a unique grassland scenery, after the grassland becomes a large snowfield, it is the kind of rough, atmospheric, vast beauty, there are few wind flowers and snow moons, and there are few curves.

And in the snowfield, in a barbed wire fence barbed barbed barracks, tents were one after another, and every day and every hour, there were constantly stiff passwords shouted in Chinese.

In the center of the camp, on two flagpoles, a Chinese tricolor flag and a Japanese plaster flag flutter in the cold Siberian wind, this camp covering an area of several square kilometers is the training camp of the Japanese army, where nearly 20,000 Japanese soldiers are trained by Chinese and Japanese officers.

The temperature gauge dropped to minus 25 degrees, and the Japanese soldiers standing in the snow at this time were all wearing thick tweed coats and dogskin hats on their heads, but even so, their faces were still purple and blue from the cold, but there was no trace of resentment on the faces of these Japanese soldiers, and each of them clearly knew their responsibilities, and they all regarded it as glory to be a soldier.

The only thing that made them uncomfortable was probably the Chinese military advisers who appeared in the training camp, but the appearance of Chinese military advisers was expected, after all, they wore Chinese military uniforms, ate Chinese military rations, used Chinese weapons, and were training on Chinese soil.

Gao Shaobo, the captain instructor of the Guards Army, looked at these Japanese soldiers in front of him with dissatisfaction, they will go to the battlefield in three months, and then fight with the German army and the Austro-Hungarian army in the vast land of Russia.

Gao Shaobo is a soldier, only a real soldier can get respect from him, and these guys who are even laughing at Lizheng in front of him are not even militiamen in his eyes.

"What kind of garbage is this! This kind of thing can also kill Germans? It's just muddy. ”

Gao Shaobo said to himself, and deliberately made his own volume just so that even these soldiers could hear it, this sentence, he issued it in Japanese, many Chinese officers can speak Japanese, and many Japanese officers can speak Chinese, sure enough, after he said this, the faces of those Japanese showed shame and indignation, and the queue was suddenly much neater.

He walked back and forth in front of the squadron a few times, then stopped and said:

"I have a few words to say to you, the new recruits, that you are said to be the best young men in Japan recruited by the Japanese Army, you are all proud to join the army, but you may not be able to pass my standard test after three months, instead of suffering for three months and then go back to China, it is better to get on the train now, go back to Japan, and save China three months of food, and I will save much trouble, if there is, stand up now."

No one made a sound, and Keijiro Komura, who was standing in the second row, looked past the soldiers in front of him and stared at Gao Shaobo's face.

"Bastard, don't look down on people, you better shut up, I won't go back if I die!"

He thought that in this expedition, ten people in his village received a notice, and only two were drafted, the reason is very simple: "His Majesty the Emperor only needs the best soldiers", to prestige abroad, expedition to the desperate region, what a desirable thing, you know, Japan has been silent for eight years, and now, the Japanese soldiers are about to go on an expedition to Europa, in the homeland of those Westerners to fight with Westerners, even Chinese do not have the "courage" to fight with Westerners, only the Japanese can fight with Westerners in Asia! …,

What a glory this is, Keijiro Komura even imagined that in the future, when he returned from the expedition, he would never be able to go back to the moment when he was worshiped by the people.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that no one answered, Gao Shaobo smiled contemptuously and said:

"Alright then, training starts now! Let's start the first lesson! ”

Komura and the others thought that the first lesson was not at most upright and lying down, and when they were in China before they came, the sergeants had trained them urgently for a week, and they thought that they were still a little sure, but the Chinese officer obviously did not intend to do this, he slowly paced in front of a soldier at the head of the platoon, and said:

"Get out of the line!"

"Yes, sir!"

This is the same village of Komura, Yokota Seiichi, who did his best to walk out in the most perfect military posture despite the disdainful eyes of the American instructor in front of him.

"Is it cold?".

Gao Shaobo asked.

"The report will be empty, not hard ......"

Stiff Chinese came out of Yokota's mouth, and the use of Chinese during the training was a requirement of the training camp, although many Japanese officers did not agree with it, but in the end they could only choose to accept it, and they had no strength to resist.

"Well, that's good!"

Gao Shaobo nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the Japanese military caopers, who were veterans, and they were responsible for cooperating with the training.

"Everyone, target, lakeside!"

The Japanese soldiers, who were carrying wooden sticks in their hands, roared loudly while waving their sticks, and those who moved a little slower would hit them with sticks, without leaving a trace of mercy.

On the edge of a frozen lake outside the training camp, the ice on the lake had already been smashed open, and the small village ran to the lake with everyone, looking at the ice on the shore of the lake, and then at the lake with ice ballast, his heart suddenly felt cold, and the whole person instantly became cold.

He knew from his father that after his father joined the army, his first training was swimming. And now......

"Everybody tie the ropes!"

At the shouts of the military cao, the village, like the others, tied up with a rope like an osprey catching a fish, suddenly pushed from the shore into the lake, choked in the icy water, and then pulled up to relieve his breath, and then was pushed into the water again.

After a while, everyone's uniforms froze to ice.

"Savage its spirit!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Gao Shaobo didn't feel anything strange, the Guards Army and the Japanese Army were very similar to each other to a large extent, especially in the training of recruits, when the recruits arrived at the regimental headquarters recruit camp and started their first training, all the boasting and encouragement clouds dissipated. A group of probably the most brutal sergeants in the world, who have come up to slap and punch and kick the people they have handed over to them, in order to make you bow down. This is only part of a plan to turn a man into a fierce man and a "valiant soldier."

And a more important deep-seated reason is that through that kind of cruel and ruthless training, every soldier is told that there is no impossibility in the army. As long as you do it, you can do it, but if you don't do it, you don't try this idea. As a result, the soldiers learned to be patient in the life of the army, and learned that "as long as you do it, you can do it", and the collective punishment unique to the Guards Army instills a collective consciousness in the soldiers, and these two are precious learning experiences that cannot be replaced by anything.

If there is any difference, I am afraid that it is the difference in the officer corps, and the discipline of the officer corps in Japan is the same as the implementation of ordinary soldiers. It is common for a senior officer to slap a junior officer in public. In the Guards Army, more emphasis is placed on the honor of the officer corps, in the training of soldiers, China is most influenced by Japan, and in the officer corps, China is actually more influenced by the education of the German officer corps, after all, in the past nine years, the military cooperation between China and Germany has made the army have been affected too much. …,

"Gao Jun doesn't seem to approve of this training method!"

Suddenly a voice came from behind him, although the Chinese pronunciation seemed to be very authentic, but Gao Shaobo still heard some bitter pronunciation, it was Japanese, that's right, it was Ishihara Waner Shaozuo.

"Ishihara-kun!"

Turning around, Gao Shaobo smiled at Shi Guan, although he was a captain, and the other party was a Shaozuo, and his military rank was one level higher than him, but according to the "tradition" of Chinese and Japanese officers meeting and officers of the same level being senior in China, Gao Shaobo was on the same level as him, and Shi Guan naturally understood this, and because of this, he called Gao Shaobo "Gao Jun", which avoided the embarrassment of the two meeting.

"It's not that I disagree!"

Gao Shaobo shook his head, he clearly knew what this kind of training method that could even be described as cruel brought about it, and what it brought was that the infantry of the Chinese and Japanese armies had the world's number one strength far beyond the Western powers - the basic infantry tactics. Under the same logistical conditions, without the support of armored troops and other arms, in any kind of terrain conditions, whether it is Chinese infantry or Japanese infantry, can defeat any army of the same number.

It's just that the Japanese army is a first-class and powerful military but very deformed army, and its strength is different from that of any other first-class power, but the Chinese army is the same as the strength of France and Germany, and that kind of strength is all-round, from individual soldier quality to strategy and tactics, from military equipment to logistics and supply, each of which has its own merits. The Japanese Army has a terrible strategy but strong tactics, and a terrible equipment but a very good use. It is precisely because of this that the Chinese army will stubbornly adopt Japanese-style infantry training while fully moralizing, with the purpose of retaining its best refinement.

It is precisely for this reason that after the outbreak of the European War, the Chinese Army observers stationed in France and Russia came to the conclusion that "China has the most elite infantry" after a staff trip on the battlefield, and China's infantry training was learned from Japan, and it was even more cruel and brutal.

However, compared with the Japanese army, the Chinese army has become more scientific because of learning from Germany, and conducts brutal training within the scope of science, and the most important difference is that the Chinese army treats soldiers as human beings, while Japan...... Just machines!

"It's ......"

A helpless smile on his face, Gao Shaobo said.

"They didn't even take off their coats, what an unforgivable mistake!"
