As expected, the four platoon commanders all wanted to take the position of company commander, but the training officer reminded them in cold words: The squad leader chooses the platoon leader, and the platoon commander chooses the company commander, and they must not use themselves as candidates.
This rule had not been proposed separately before, but it was contained in the statement, and the squad leaders had also circled the platoon leaders once when they elected the platoon leaders - even the key information that Lynn, a "Dane" who did not speak German, did not seem to have seriously polished.
Except for the four platoon commanders, everyone including the twelve squad leaders is eligible to become a company commander. However, even if the platoon commanders can tolerate their squad leaders and big heads suddenly overriding them, how can they form a unified opinion in a short period of time?
The argument was fierce.
The training officer looked down at his watch: "Everyone, if there is no result within 3 minutes, your final grades will be collectively judged as unqualified!" β
Hearing this, Lynn suddenly felt very funny. Now that the Third Reich has reached the end of its rope, what is the point of a special operations force training camp with good or bad results? With the combat method of the "vampire" commando, casualties are inevitable in every battle, and reserve soldiers are like life-sustaining blood. If everyone is not qualified, it is a great matter to extend the training period or lower the rating altogether, and it is impossible to throw it into the ordinary army.
Unfortunately, not everyone can keep a cool head at such times, and it is even more difficult to get out of the circle of the authorities.
The platoon commanders really stopped arguing, you look at me, I look at you. I usually train to regenerate fiercely, but I don't have an idea at this time.
"Everyone!"
Lynn took a step forward at the right time, giving herself a "shining debut" with a loud and calm voice.
"My name is Lynn. Gagor, previously attached to the SS 'Nordic' division, fought on the Eastern Front for a long time. I am a Dane, but also a German. I may not be as old as many of the people here, and I don't have a high rank, but I'm proud of it...... I can keep a cool head at all times! Not long ago, I had the privilege of crossing the Soviet lines with Sergeant Eric's assault squad and launching a night attack on a regimental armored unit of the Soviet army, inflicting heavy damage on the opponent with only 50 men. When the officer who led the team was killed, I gave the interim commander very crucial advice and successfully helped the assault force to return to our position! β
The words weren't fluent, but Lynn tried to make every one of his pronunciations breathless, his gaze sweeping over every face, and he didn't flinch when he made eye contact with the soldiers.
After a slight pause, Lynn continued to speak German in an unknown accent: "Ladies and gentlemen, although I have commanded a team of four people at most at one time (myself plus the white goatee family of three), I have complete confidence in my own courage, will, and ability. I am a natural shooter, but also a calm soldier, I can confidently observe the surrounding environment when I charge with enthusiasm, and I can also patiently look for opportunities to counterattack when I am hit one after another, and I am willing to live and die with every companion. Ladies and gentlemen, I have an unchanging motto: never give up an opportunity, never abandon a brother! β
Shamelessly plagiarizing other people's quotes, Lynn also imitated Lieutenant Colonel Bach and shouted in a high-pitched but unpretentious tone: "Long live the Reich FΓΌhrer!" Long live Germany! β
Some of the reserve soldiers echoed, while others looked at Lynn with questioning, but when the training officers looked down at their watches again, the platoon commanders, who could really play a decisive role, had no choice.
Burst...... Burst...... Burst......
The muffled applause of the gloved clapping rang out coldly, and Lieutenant Colonel Bach, dressed in black leather, appeared like a ghost on the side of the team. He was followed by an unfamiliar young lieutenant, who was tall and thin, somewhat similar to Lynn's impression of French President Charles de Gaulle, but without a beard or leader-like rebelliousness, but gave a sense of calm and steady.
Bach steadily walked to the middle of the team: "Although the real confrontation drill has not yet begun, we have already seen a wonderful performance!" Each and every one of you has worked hard in training and has mastered all kinds of combat skills competently, but I want you to remember tonight and every word that the young man just said. Whether it is a good situation with victory in sight or an adversity in the face of a strong enemy, you should keep a cool head, see the situation clearly, and firmly grasp every opportunity! This can even serve as a fighting creed for each of you! β
Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Bach say this in front of everyone, Lynn did not look forward to the future as he had done in the past, but held his head high, proud that he could grasp such a wonderful opportunity.
No superfluous nonsense, Lorenz . Bach briefly clicked the question and announced the start of the confrontation exercise.
As a commander for the first time, Lin En was a little flustered at first, but as he himself said, his composure was one of his great advantages that distinguished him from ordinary people. Calm down and judge the situation: the attacking side must be played by elite "vampire" commandos, and it is estimated that there will not be too many people. With a complete set of positions and fortifications on their side to rely on, and they are mentally prepared in advance to deal with the night attack of the "enemy", as long as they carefully and carefully organize the defense, they will definitely have a chance to win the confrontation!
Constantly instilling confidence in himself, Lynn quickly got rid of distractions and quickly deployed defenses according to his own ideas - the village is not big, but if the troops are divided to implement a full-line defense, it is easy for the opponent to find a breakthrough opportunity, not to mention that the night is dark and the wind is high, and his side is not equipped with infrared night vision devices tonight, and it is not allowed to use flares and open flames. He ordered the first platoon to lurk in the trenches and woods on the outskirts of the village, ignoring the scattered enemies until the Night Warriors approached in groups. The second platoon of soldiers was scattered on all sides of the village, spreading their distances and keeping their vigilance; The third platoon is stationed at the four corners of the position, and any position can be supported as soon as possible if it is attacked by the enemy; The fourth platoon of soldiers, as reserves, lay in ambush near the headquarters, oil depots, and ammunition depots, and annihilated the enemy with heavy fire as soon as they broke through into the position.
The squads and platoons were properly deployed, but the troops acting as the attacking side did not appear for a long time. The first hour or two was fine, and after midnight, even Lynn couldn't help but yawn. Xinding, who lacked actual command experience, only then remembered to let the soldiers take turns to rest, but not long after the order was issued, the gunfire from the eastern formation officially kicked off the confrontation drill.
Hearing that the sound of the gunfire was a little sparse, Lynn estimated that it was the opponent's attack and harassment, so he asked all the troops to stand still. The gunfire continued for a while before it stopped, but the outpost reported that all the soldiers in the eastern trench were "killed", and that the defenders of the position could not shoot and block the fire without seeing their opponents at all, and that it was not possible to achieve effective results according to the regulations.
Since the other party had discovered the "trick" in the trench, Lynn hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of peripheral troops from the other three positions, so that they could be strengthened directly into the trench positions. After another ten minutes or so, gunfire rang out one after another from the positions in the west and north directions, and they sounded very dense. Lynn remained unmoved, and ordered two other positions, east and south, to be on guard. Sure enough, the southern position was soon reported to be under enemy onslaught. Lynn ordered the second and third platoons to reinforce the two fulcrums in the southeast and southwest, and half of the personnel were withdrawn from the positions on the southern front. Deliberately allowed the opponent to break through from this side, and forced the fourth platoon not to open fire if the enemy was within the effective lighting range of the flashlight.
Lynn's calculations are good, but unfortunately the attackers seem to have seen through his little tricks early on. After quickly capturing the southern position, the commandos did not assume a posture of going straight in, but made a detour along the circular position to the flanks. As a result, the two sides exchanged fierce fire at the two fulcrums of the southeast and east, west and south. As the battle escalated, Lynn insisted on using the fourth platoon and let the soldiers originally deployed in the eastern position rush to reinforce it. However, as soon as the fighters left, the eastern position was "fiercely attacked" by the opponent. For a time, there was a lot of gunfire around the village, as if the opponent was surrounded from all sides.
Lynn was convinced that the "vampire" commandos would only use the seventy or eighty commandos who dined together in the restaurant at night, so they only drew troops from the west and north. The persistent perseverance finally won the battle - the fourth platoon of men who were ambushed near the headquarters fought a clean ambush with the help of flashlights, and "annihilated" more than a dozen attackers from the southern position. Immediately afterwards, the attackers, who had broken through to the eastern position, rushed to the ammunition depot and were fiercely blocked by the ambush force of the fourth platoon on the way. In these two battles alone, more than 20 attackers withdrew from the battle on their own, but they refused to hand over the "captured" infrared night vision devices to the defenders.
After a "fierce" battle, the defenders, who had run out of ammunition and food, lost the fulcrum of the southeast and southwest positions, and the two positions in the west and north were also broken one after another after the positions in the east and south. The remnants of the soldiers who had withdrawn into the village, together with the fourth platoon and Lynn's company, leaned against the building for the final defense. Helplessly, the infrared night vision device played an obvious role in this dark environment, and Lynn finally took the initiative to lie on the ground.
"Very good, young man! The battle was fought beautifully! β
Hearing this rather familiar voice, Lynn looked up to see that the non-commissioned officer Eric, whose face was smeared with black mud, had stretched out his right hand to him.
Everything that should be done was done, but there was a huge difference in the combat effectiveness of the two sides at night, and Lynn smiled very calmly: "It's still beautiful to all the people who died?" β
After pulling his little brother up from the ground, Eric patted his arm: "It's better than the previous three installments!" Heh, I wanted you to come to my side as soon as possible to help, but it looks like I'll have to wait a while! β
What does this mean? Lynn was curious.
