The camp of the Sixth Regiment was still on that hillside, and the camp had grown considerably to the size of the previous six.

For this reason, the camp of the Indians was relocated again, from the riverside to the cemetery. Indians are quite satisfied with this, they are closer to work, and they are right outside the cemetery.

After Wang Dingshan joined the Sixth Regiment, he entered Chen Kangjian's first battalion as a company commander, and Wang Dingshan was very satisfied with this arrangement. The current Sixth Regiment is no longer the Sixth Regiment in the initial period, with 5,000 troops, it can be said that it is strong and strong. If you want to be like Zhang Tianshou, it is impossible to become a senior officer as soon as he joined the Sixth Regiment.

When Qin Zhiyuan returned to the camp, it was almost late.

In order to cope with the reconnaissance of the German aircraft, the camp was covered with camouflage nets, and when you look down from above, you can only see piles of lush bushes and ugly craters, which have no attack value.

It was getting late, the camp was brightly lit, the people were buzzing, there was no curfew, and there were short brass whistles and neat footsteps, which clearly indicated the training program at this time.

Ever since entering the camp, Pierre has been in shock. Pierre could swear that he had never seen such a neat barracks before. Recently, it has been rainy, but there is no water in the camp, on the contrary, because part of the ground has been hardened, and the sanitary situation in the camp is satisfactory.

From time to time, a group of soldiers passed by by Pierre, and Pierre carefully distinguished, and from these young and warlike faces, there was no sign of malnutrition such as yellow muscles and thin muscles. The soldiers were in good spirits, and there was no strange smell on them, only the smell of clean and refreshing grass, which Pierre knew was the smell of soap in the military department's distribution materials.

In the army at this time, because of the long-term trench warfare, many soldiers had fungus on their feet, that is, "beriberi", and this disease required a large amount of potions, so that the air inside the barracks at this time was filled with the smell of potions. Also because of trench warfare, many soldiers had scabies on their bodies, and this disease required the application of plasters.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, the French distributed a large amount of red wine to the front, with a quota of one liter per person per day, and the British distributed a large amount of rum, and at the same time a large amount of tobacco, and the proportion of the distribution machine was basically as much as there were, so at this time, the barracks, the camp still had these plasters and the smell of alcohol and tobacco.

In the barracks of the 6th Regiment, there was nothing but grass and the smell of slaughter in the air.

The camp is very tidy, no one throws garbage, no one defecates in the open, and there are no clothes and bedding to dry everywhere, and the cleanliness here is comparable to the square in front of the Palace of Versailles.

On the school field on the side of the barracks, there is a group of soldiers who are practicing in a queue, they are fully armed, the formation is tight, and they march in line under the guidance of the bronze whistle, with neat and loud slogans and sonorous steps.

Formation and platoon training is required in the "Infantry Drill Code" compiled by Qin Zhiyuan, and the significance of the training is not a face project, but to emphasize the obedience and discipline of the soldiers.

"How? Would you like to check it out? Seeing Pierre's concentration, Qin Zhiyuan opened his mouth to invite.

"Okay, I'd love to see our fighters to determine the combat effectiveness of the troops." Pierre stepped into the role quickly and has now entered the role of operational staff officer.

The role of the operational staff officer is very important, not only to draw up the battle plan, but also to determine the route of the march, etc., which must be based on a detailed understanding of the troops, otherwise, there will be an unexpected situation where the plan is out of touch with reality.

The General Staff was created to prevent the plan from becoming out of touch with reality, but this purpose has not been fully realized so far. Not to mention France and England, even the Germans, who were considered to have the best staff system, often had unexpected situations in battle.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't expect to completely eliminate accidents, as long as he could avoid most of them, he would be satisfied.

When Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre arrived at the school field, the company commander who was conducting queue training ran over and saluted and reported: "Report to the regiment commander, the third company of the first battalion is undergoing queue training, I am the company commander Wang Dingshan, please instruct!" ”

Wang Dingshan's company had just joined the army and was now undergoing basic training, and his company was a bit excessive, with 200 people, which was almost the size of a reinforced company.

"Please continue!" Qin Zhiyuan returned the salute.

Seeing Wang Dingshan turn around and run back to the team with similar standard movements, Pierre nodded again and again: "Very professional soldier." ”

"Career? He was almost, and as of today, his troops had been training for less than a week. Qin Zhiyuan also nodded with a smile.

After a full fight, Wang Dingshan, together with more than 2,000 people in his labor camp, had only joined the army for five days, and Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to be so precise, that would scare Pierre.

Sure enough, Pierre looked like he had seen a ghost and asked in disbelief: "A week?" You're not mistaken, right? If you are French, you may not be able to train them for a month. ”

"That's right, it's really a week, in fact, they've only been trained for three days, and it's really rewarding to train such soldiers." Lieutenant Dinar, who was sent by Foch to take charge of the training, confirmed it from the side.

Foch had already promised that when this group of soldiers finished training, the rank of dinar would rise by one level, so the dinar was very careful in training.

"It's unbelievable, as the report says, they are indeed natural soldiers, with strong physique, excellent discipline, and super receptivity." Pierre sighed again and again that he was very optimistic about the prospects of this army.

A little further on, there is the unit that conducts obstacle climbing training, in which the advantages of the Chinese are further magnified.

The 400-meter obstacle is also a training program transplanted by Qin Zhiyuan, which is also composed of eight obstacles: a cross pile, a trench, a low wall, a high board jump, a ladder, a single-plank bridge, a high wall, and a low pile net.

This training program is very elaborate, and the artillery prepares for fire before the troops launch an attack. The general procedure is a fire rush, a sabotage shot, another fire rush. Then the artillery fire began to extend. While the artillery fire was extended, the infantry attacked. This is the standard rifle coordination procedure.

It takes about two minutes from the time the artillery fire leaves the enemy's position to the point where the enemy is resurrected. The four-hundred-meter obstacle set up all kinds of obstacles that could be encountered in the path of the infantry's advance. And the distance is a safe distance for artillery firing. There's a reason for asking for a two-minute or so pass.

It is necessary to conduct such training of the troops, after all, the Foreign Legion is not the own son of the French, and the French will not fully meet the requirements of the Foreign Legion.

The French treated their own son outrageously, and at this time in Verdun, in order to conquer the previously lost fortress of Wall, the French deliberately built an identical one in the rear, just to familiarize the French troops with the environment.
