Chapter 27 Be prepared for danger in times of peace

Almost 10 hours of training had been scheduled during the day, and apart from occasional sudden gatherings, the officers and men of the Imperial Guard usually had no training assignments at night. Wolfrum, Brewer and others arrived to celebrate Lynn's discharge. Because the officer's dormitory was not a place to talk, Lynn took everyone to the ward where Tanze lived with red wine. Although this brother was injured a few hours earlier than Lynn, the bullet injured his muscles and bones, and he underwent a second operation after being admitted to the hospital, and his recovery period had to be postponed. Of course, the hospital was not a noisy place, and everyone divided the red wine, each said some words of wishes, and chatted while drinking, but just like that, half an hour later, he was ruthlessly expelled by the little nurses, and had to say goodbye to Tanze, ending the first celebration after coming to the "shelter".

From the next day, Lynn returned to the barracks life of getting up on time at 6 o'clock, and the fixed schedule for the morning was physical endurance training, and he followed his roommates to the exercise ground near the huge material reserve warehouse. The last time I took a small train to pass by here, I only had a rough look at it in the dark, but this time I took a serious look at it, and it turned out that in addition to having an extremely open space, it also artificially set up a lot of terrain for training -- trenches, low walls, houses, fake shrubs, fake rivers, and even small bridges that simulated battlefields, which were sufficient for ordinary combat training, and could be competent even for small and medium-sized exercises. The outer ring of the site is set up with a two-lane hard road, and this early morning is not only the officer class, but also thousands of officers and soldiers of the 1st Marine Regiment running laps here. The space was large enough, and there was no interference between the troops, and the officers and soldiers were marching lightly or with heavy loads, and the footsteps and slogans were constantly heard, and the scene was spectacular.

Although after stepping into the ranks of officers, the chances of riding in a car in actual combat are higher than those of ordinary soldiers, this cannot be a reason for reducing the burden on the training of cadets in the officer class. Like the soldiers, the training volume of the officer squad is also two laps around the exercise ground, which is seven or eight kilometers at least, and the speed on this road should not be too slow. Of course, the two laps were given to those who were physically fit, and after reporting to the instructor, Lynn was allowed to do a separate jog nearby to warm up, and the low-intensity exercise made him feel that his body vitality was gradually recovering, but to really return to the state before the injury, I am afraid that he still had to train for a long time gradually.

After breakfast, everyone returned to the exercise ground in their combat uniforms for traditional basic tactical training, including bayonets, fighting, jumping over obstacles, and combat drills. Having enough to eat and sleep well every day, the officers were full of energy and physical energy, and they were also very devoted to these basic training, especially in martial arts, which were like being beaten with chicken blood. Seeing his companions demonstrate their basic skills for the first time, Lynn was not surprised by the scene, but the quality of the crowd's performance was somewhat unexpected to him. Among the more than 40 new officers, the best overall performance in basic tactical training was neither a tall and strong man, nor a athletic man with a strong appearance, but a small-framed and well-mannered second lieutenant in the same dormitory as Lynn. Bosman. Taking off his glasses, this guy is outstanding in speed, explosiveness and skill, inadvertently rolling up his sleeves, and his strong arms have a powerful beauty - this reminds Lynn of a certain version of Superman, who is normally a white-collar worker with glasses, and once he tears off his coat, he is a savior with super power.

Dodge, block, wrestle, these very basic moves of Boseman are concise and coherent, without superfluous and cumbersome fancy, when playing against a superior companion, he can always give full play to the advantages of speed and agility, and even if he fights hard, he will not fall behind, no, the upper plate will hold the opponent steadily, and the lower plate will sweep the leg, and the student who is a full size bigger than himself will be put to the ground.

Having won the victory, the glasses second lieutenant Boseman took the initiative to pull his opponent up, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve as he walked to the sidelines. Probably feeling that it was not enough to relieve the fever, he took off his gray camouflage combat uniform again. With broad arms, solid pectoral muscles, and a compact abdomen, the body is too good to be a bodybuilding instructor!

Lynn, who was standing on the sidelines and watching the battle, was already sincerely admired at this time: according to the situation of sparring, only in hand-to-hand combat, the two of them might not be able to handle one of them.

Lynn rarely admires a person so much, so she takes the initiative to help Boseman get his coat and praises: "You are amazing, Frank! Have you ever learned 'Kung Fu'? ”

said that he also compared the simplest kung fu moves in his hand, but at this time, Bruce Lee and his movies had not yet become famous, and there was obviously no "kung fu fever" in the Western world.

Contrary to his reserved posture in the classroom, the glasses lieutenant exuded a strong confidence at the training ground, and he replied lightly: "Before the outbreak of war, I was a national swimmer and loved fencing and jiu-jitsu!" ”

It's really a great person everywhere, Lynn immediately sighed in his heart, just such an outstanding person, after six years of war, he was still just a sergeant, and he entered the "refuge" to break through the non-commissioned officer rank because everyone had a share in the promotion?

As if he saw Lynn's doubts and had a close impression of Lynn, Boseman still said lightly: "When I was born, my parents had already moved to the Netherlands, and I chose to join the Dutch national swimming team!" ”

I see, Lynn is still emotional. In order to show that he was not ambiguous, he hurriedly said: "My parents also moved to Denmark at an early age, so I later joined the 'Nordic' division, and you are also ......."

Boseman shook his head: "Before 1944 I was just doing a similar job as a police officer in the Netherlands, an agency under the SS Security Service, and then the war was tense and I joined the Waffen-SS and served in the 23rd Dutch Division!" ”

Before the two finished talking, a student on the other side shouted: "Frank, come on, I'm going to snatch back the first place from you today!" ”

Hearing this, Boseman naturally moved his neck and arms, turned and walked back to the soft sand. In order to determine the results of the training, the trainees adopted a combination of elimination and turn-based mode, and Boseman had beaten three people along the way to the first level. The second lieutenant in the middle of the dormitory did not perform well, entering the second gear, the blonde second lieutenant was in the third gear with one win and two defeats, and the attacker's representative in the first round of the wargame deduction class yesterday afternoon, the skinny little short second lieutenant, lost three games in a row and was in the bottom gear.

With his normal strength, Lynn feels that the first gear of martial arts training is not something to expect, and it is very good to be able to enter the second gear. As for the other three students who became the top of the list like Boseman, they all seemed to be strong and aggressive, and when it came to the stage of competing for the highest honors, they were all more serious than the previous rounds, so much so that Lynn was sweating for her roommate when she watched the game. These standouts have their own strengths in martial arts, and the one who openly challenges Boseman is a master of street fighting, with no obvious routines for his shots, all based on "fast, accurate, and ruthless", and likes to dangle a shot, using feints and eyes to distract his opponent. However, Boseman is a professional swimmer after all, with excellent strength and endurance, and can maintain a calm and calm mentality, steadily see the moves, rarely take the initiative to attack in the first half, and when the opponent's mentality gradually becomes impetuous, he sees the opportunity to practice fast attack, and in the blink of an eye, he knocks down the opponent twice in a row.

In the final round, under the watchful eyes of all the students, Boseman still maintained a stable performance, found the flaws of the opponent in the stalemate stage, and was able to continue to win the title of "King of Fighters".

For the outstanding students, the instructor in charge of the basic subject training only gave Boseman a verbal compliment, which also made Lynn have more respect for Barn Finger. Unfortunately, what was scheduled that afternoon was not a theoretical lesson in wargame deduction, but a live-fire training that Lynn should have enjoyed very much. The shooting range is far from the cave where the Imperial base camp and the 1st Barracks of the Imperial Guard are located, and the cadets need to take a small train to get there. Presumably for the sake of reducing noise, each range is placed in a relatively closed building, and the largest range can only shoot at a distance of 400 meters, but the various settings of the mobile range here make Lynn feel very familiar - almost a copy of the "vampire" commando headquarters shooting range. Here, Lynn proves a sentence with her own eyes: those who look strange have their own extraordinary. The little officer who failed in the wargame deduction and counted down in the basic subjects finally "lit up". Luger 08, Walter P38, MP40, MP44, and a cold firearm seemed to have gained vitality in his hands, and the rapid disassembly and assembly were so quick that the action was simply beyond human effort. That's not all, the little lieutenant immediately showed a stunt of 100 steps, and the accuracy of the pistol's 20-meter shooting was simply impeccable. In the crackling gunshot, Lynn had a very technical itch, but he picked up the "Walter" with his right hand and fired only one shot, and there was a clear labor pain in the shoulder injury, so he had to change his left hand to find a feeling. After the last wound in the right arm, he could only practice with his left hand for a long time, and on the battlefield he was accustomed to firing the bow left and right with two guns in the barge, and his shooting results with the left-handed gun were even at a medium level among the 42 cadets of the officer class.

After such a day of training, Lynn was in a relaxed mood, and then she was arranged to take a comfortable hot bath, and she did not have to wash her own dirty clothes, and it is said that hundreds of young female workers were housed in a special laundry workshop, and in the evening, there were movie screenings in the small auditorium. Compared with the depression and heaviness of crawling and fighting on the battlefield, the military life here is simply like a dream, if it goes on like this, it will be comfortable, but in the next few days, as the U-boats secretly sneaked back from the ocean have arrived at the "shelter" one after another, all kinds of news about the situation are spreading at an alarming speed, the Führer committed suicide, Dönitz's political axe armistice surrender, and the Allied and Soviet forces occupied Germany, which are all the same as the history that Lynn knows, and it is precisely because of these shocking news that the material reserves are sufficient" The first crisis occurred within the Vault, and in a way that Lynn had not expected at all......
