Chapter 115: SAS (2)
"Major Will!" Just as I was still wondering what else this Angus could do, he shouted at Major Will, "I want to see the opponent of the exercise now!" ”
"No problem!" Major Will nodded, turned and walked out of the headquarters.
Seeing this, I quickly knew what Angus was going to do, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Ensign, you don't want to torture them to force me to agree, don't forget that I am Chinese, I would be happy to watch the British torture the British." ”
"You will!" Angus raised his head at me: "You are right, although you are Chinese, you are also their commander!" Of course, if you don't care about losing your majesty in front of your subordinates......"
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and I didn't understand what Angus meant by this.
But after thinking about it, it quickly became clear that Angus wanted to link the punishment of the British army with me.
Sure enough, just as I thought, Angus stood in front of the British soldiers who had just lined up, and said: "The problem is very simple, we need a strong enough opponent to be an imaginary enemy, but it's a pity...... Your instructors don't want to lead you in the drills, so we have only one option, and that is to train you to be strong enough!
Now listen to my orders and run ten laps around the camp, quick! ”
Hearing this, the British soldiers, including Tom, couldn't help but be stunned, you must know that this camp is 500 meters in a circle, and it is 5 kilometers in ten circles...... This may not be a big deal in peacetime, they are soldiers who usually train a lot, and they can deal with the five-kilometer cross-country, but here is a foot deep and a foot shallow in the snow. And the British soldiers had just returned from the training ground.
"What are you doing there?"
At Angus's urging, Tom and the others ran reluctantly.
I have to admit that it worked. Because at the beginning, Tom and other British soldiers were not angry with us Chinese. But as this lap goes down lap by lap, when their bodies are overdrawn and out of breath, many people will be thinking...... Obviously, we only need to agree to accompany the exercise, so why let them suffer like this!
Naturally, they will throw us with inquiring, begging, and even resentful glances.
"Battalion commander!" At this time, Zhao Jingping said worriedly next to me: "If this continues, the majesty we have just established among the British soldiers will be gone, and this training work is only afraid of ......."
"Hmm!" I nodded.
Zhao Jingping was indeed right, although I did not participate in the exercise because I was afraid of Angus, but the British soldiers did not think so. Moreover, they are the ones who suffer because of this.
If Angus is tossed around like this, I am afraid that we will not be able to command this British army at all.
"Ensign!" Thinking of this, I said to Angus, who was standing outside the door smoking, "You win, let them stop!" ”
"I knew it!" Angus had a triumphant smile on his face: "So...... Later, Major Will will give you the materials you need for the exercise, and I'll see you in the evening! ”
"See you in the evening!" I'm a little helpless.
Angus raised his hand and motioned to the British soldiers who were running in front of him to stop: "Your instructor saved you, do a good job at night!" ”
Without looking back, he took a group of his subordinates on a helicopter and drove away.
At this time, Tom's British soldiers screamed so badly that they sat on the ground and could only gasp.
"Comrade battalion commander!" Major Will walked up to me and said, "Actually, you don't need to mind too much, it's just a drill, and it's not a shame to lose to the SAS troops!" ”
I just smiled and didn't speak.
Although I am also aware of the disparity in strength between the two forces...... Mainly because our subordinates are all inexperienced Brits, and our instructors don't even speak the language of these Brits, and not being able to communicate normally in battle is a nightmare for an army, while the SAS on the other side is a well-trained and extremely experienced special forces. So the gap between this can be imagined.
But I didn't think it was a must-lose battle from the beginning, as Major Will thought.
I share my thoughts with a group of warriors. They have never been the ones to throw in the towel.
"Here's the thing!" At a meeting that followed, I said to the soldiers: "We have an exercise tonight, like the British special forces!" ”
There were also some British military backbones who participated in this meeting, mainly because we had limited translation and our soldiers could not speak English and could not communicate with the British army normally, so we simply discussed it at the meeting once, so that the British soldiers could understand the situation more comprehensively.
But it was clear that the British backbone did not seem to care about the exercise.
Actually, I can understand their thoughts, most of them thought that this exercise was doomed to lose from the beginning, so it was just to put on a show.
I ignored them and continued to point to a point on the map and said: "The location where we are stationed is here, a beach more than 600 meters wide, and the British special forces will choose to land here, and our task is to repel them or hold out until dawn!" ”
"Battalion commander!" Looking at the focused expressions of me and our Chinese instructors, Xu Jianping couldn't help asking, "...... you guys I'm not going to win this exercise! ”
"Any questions?" I asked.
At this time, all the British troops, including Major Will, were stunned.
"Comrade battalion commander!" Major Will explained: "I don't think you know, but they are SAS, the British Royal Airborne Special Service ......."
"I know!" I interrupted Major Will: "Is there a problem?" ”
Major Will didn't know what to answer for a moment.
"Major!" I said, "If this exercise is not a drill, but a battle, and we are also facing a strong enemy with such weakness, then what would you do?" Surrender? ”
"Of course not!" Major Will replied: "We will resist until the last moment!" ”
"When is the last minute?"
"At a time when we thought there was no point in resisting!" Major Will said, "Yes, then we will choose to surrender!" ”
"On what basis do you judge how long it is pointless to resist?" I said, "No ammunition?" The line of defense was breached? Or are the casualties more than you can bear? ”
Major Will thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's almost like this!" ”
"But the truth is that resistance often makes sense at this point." I said, "There are too many battlefields that we have experienced when there is no ammunition, when the line is breached, or when the casualties are too high, and we can still knock the enemy down again and again." Do you know why? ”
Seeing that Major Will did not answer, I continued: "Because we do not give up lightly at any time, because our last moment is sacrifice!" ”
"Just like now!" Zhao Jingping added: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will think about winning a battle instead of admitting defeat from the beginning!" ”
Hearing this, Major Will and Xu Jianping couldn't help but be silent, and after a long while, Major Will nodded and said: "Comrade battalion commander, you are right, it doesn't matter if they are SAS or not, as long as they are our enemies, kick their ass!" ”
"yes, fuck SAS!"
"Kill them!"
……
The other British soldiers said one after the other. They had just been humiliated by Angus, and they were already angry in their hearts, but now they were stirred up by the spirit of Chinese soldiers, and all of them mustered up courage.
It seems that this is the case with recruits, who are very easy to lose confidence when they are hit, but they are also easily agitated. However, I believe that part of the reason why the British soldiers were so easily encouraged by us was that they clearly knew the Chinese soldiers during this period of training with us, which undoubtedly gave them some confidence, otherwise no amount of agitation would have helped.
Of course, I also know that this kind of morale will not last long, and it is easy for them to be discouraged again when they are hit, but all I need is to finish the drill in front of me.
"The time of the enemy attack is uncertain!" I continued, "It's a combat point of view, so we have to stay on guard all night on this beach." But I think it's very likely that SAS will choose to raid us after midnight, so after midnight to early in the morning is a key time period for our defense, especially closer to midnight! ”
"Why this time?" Major Will asked a little strangely.
"Because SAS when you are recruits with no combat experience!" "The characteristics of a recruit are that they are highly nervous and overly excited when they know that there is a battle right away, but this tension and excitement does not last long, and soon you will fall into exhaustion and wilting, which is what SAS wants," I said.
On the other hand, a sneak attack after midnight is more in line with Tsushima's beach-grabbing operations...... Obviously, if the battle is over before the early hours of the morning and a foothold is gained, the rest of the troops will be able to quickly follow by daybreak, otherwise the SAS will have to withstand the enemy's attack on the beach for quite some time! ”
"Oh!" Major Will couldn't help but nodded, and the other British soldiers also showed respectful looks in their eyes.
This is normal for those of us who have come from the battlefield, and on the battlefield in Vietnam, both our army and the Vietnamese devils have very frequently taken advantage of the early morning to launch attacks before dawn. And these are very valuable combat experiences for the British army, which has never fought before.
"So!" I said, "Our distribution is to loosen up the front and tighten the back, and after building a defensive position against the sea, all except the sentries will rest in the first half of the night, and be on full alert in the second half of the night!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The British soldiers responded in unison.
It's just that they don't know that it's just me making a false shot. (To be continued......)
