Chapter VI Training
"Oh, Vincent, you're wearing the rank of sergeant?" The men met again, and Daniel exclaimed.
"There's nothing wrong with that, Vincent and Henry are both fresh graduates from the Military Academy, and I thought they would go straight to becoming captains." Sebastian Richter said lightly.
"Because the situation here is a bit special, but the Great German Infantry Regiment is replenishing a large number of personnel, and Vincent and I may be your company commanders after the recruit training, haha!" Henry Orff touched his nose and laughed.
"That's right, that's pretty much it when the training is over." Vincent Klein also nodded.
"Wouldn't it be nice if my boss is my good buddy?" Daniel continued.
"Haha, if your shooting training is excellent, how about applying for a P38 pistol for each of you?" Henry quipped.
"It's a deal!" Licorice said along with Robin and Daniel. As for Sebastian Richter, these people abused their power in front of him, and for such a serious person, not reporting them was already the limit, of course, because they did not violate military discipline, and if they were well trained, they could indeed get a pistol, but it was not necessarily.
The next morning, when the whistle blew, all the recruits were awakened, quickly got out of bed, washed up, dressed neatly, folded the quilt, and then went to the playground outside to line up.
Major Adrian Schroeder stood on the playground and looked at the recruits in front of him, this time there were far more than 46 recruits, and there were almost 100 people.
"Very good, all in fifteen minutes, now it's all lined up for me! Take a break, report the number! "Major Schroeder is still very satisfied with the quality of this group of recruits, after all, except for a few civilians who perform well in peacetime, the other recruits are basically graduates of military academies or surplus personnel from other units, and the quality is definitely there, do other troops dare to stuff scum in the capital garrison? Even if it is not given to the elite, it is at least above the average level, after all, although the Greater German Infantry Regiment is the establishment of the Wehrmacht, but in fact it is no different from the SS, every move is in the Führer's sight, and now it is before the start of World War II, at this time Germany because of the previous compression of troops, the soldiers and officers who remained in the Wehrmacht are one out of a hundred, although the Führer has expanded the army several times after coming to power, but the quality of personnel is definitely a peak, not like in the late war because of the lack of soldiers, meat and vegetarian are not taboo, ordinary civilians, veterans in their fifties and sixties were all incorporated into the army.
"There are a total of 92 people, and nine deputy squad leaders are now appointed, who will be responsible for the auxiliary management during the training of recruits." Not surprisingly, Vincent and Henry were both appointed as deputy squad leaders, and Licorice and others were placed under Vincent's management, and Henry brought another class, Vincent and Henry's two squads counted themselves as exactly 11 people, and the two extra recruits were included in these two squads, by the way, all the squad leaders were served by veterans of the third battalion.
The training for the next half month is to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, assemble at 6:15, go out for 45 minutes, have breakfast at 7 o'clock, conduct queue training from 7:30 to 11:30, have lunch from 11:30 to 12:30, then take a 30-minute lunch break, physical training from 12:30 to 5:30 and various theoretical studies, including firearms shooting, medical knowledge, simple tactical gestures, etc., start dinner at 5:30, conduct vigilance training from 6:00 to 7:00, conduct physical training and battlefield knowledge learning from 7:00 to 9:30, and turn off the lights at 10 o'clock.
Half a month has passed like this, but Licorice has already experienced what is going on with the military skills given by the Lord God, whether it is firearm shooting or medical knowledge or various tactical training, Licorice can quickly get started and quickly learn them, just like the shooting training that was finally carried out today, touching the Mauser Kar98K rifle in his hand, there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"The posture of holding the gun is very particular, it is related to whether you can react quickly, aim and hit the target, look at the posture I am demonstrating now, the left hand is under the barrel in front of you, the right shoulder is against the butt, the right hand controls the grip and trigger, the left eye is closed, use the right eye to aim, if you feel inconvenient, you can also keep both eyes open. Next is the lying position, the lying position is the most common and the most basic posture, you must pay attention when lying down, both hands must grasp the gun body, otherwise not only miss the target but also easy to hurt yourself, two elbows must be on the ground, so as to grasp the gun body steadily. "The veteran squad leader is teaching the gun holding posture.
Standing at the shooting training ground, Licorice held the Mauser Kar98K rifle in his hand, and gradually recalled the information about this gun, which was the most produced firearm in World War II, and until the defeat of Germany, a total of 12 million guns were produced, perhaps more. It was the most accurate rifle of World War II and the pinnacle of rotary pull-back bolt action rifles. The gun uses 7.92 mm rifle cartridges, with a magazine capacity of five rounds, a muzzle velocity of 755 m/s, and an effective range of 800 meters.
Licorice held the gun and learned the posture taught by the veteran squad leader to aim at a target at a distance of 100 meters, aiming, holding his breath, shooting, "Bang~~" The recoil brought by the bullet firing directly made the muzzle fly into the sky, crooked, it was normal, this is the first time Licorice touched the gun, "Kala" pulled the bolt to unshell the bullet and reloaded, repeating the previous action, aiming, holding breath, shooting, "Bang~~" hit this time, although it is not very accurate, but it is undoubtedly an excellent start, continue to shoot, as long as you can hit, unlimited supply of bullets, Of course, the premise is that you are training seriously, and every sharpshooter is piled up with at least thousands of bullets.
"Bang~~Kara" after more than a dozen shots, licorice finally grasped the feeling of holding the gun and shooting, no longer bullets flying everywhere, being able to set the bullet landing point in a large area, the military skill mastery given by the main god is really a comprehensive skill, including all the abilities related to it, and as long as the ability related to it can be improved, now the percentage progress bar of this skill has reached (2%).
"Bang!" After firing more than 30 bullets, Licorice finally hit the bull's-eye and the subsequent shots were very close even if they couldn't hit the bull's-eye, but after firing so many shots in a row, Licorice's shoulder was already very painful, and the recoil of this rifle was still very large.
"Linus, you're a natural warrior! Of course, it would be better if the body could be stronger. Vincent lamented that Licorice's ability to learn military skills these days has amazed Vincent.
"I think if I continue to train like this, I'll be very strong sooner or later." With that, Licorice made a triceps show motion.
"Well, look over there, I think Robin probably doesn't have any shooting talent, maybe we should consider letting him operate the machine gun?" Heavy fire suppression might suit him. Vincent motioned for him to see Robin's training over there, and Licorice looked at it, only to see that the target a hundred meters in front of Robin did not have many bullet holes, and he didn't know if it was all flying or because of the small number of shots.
"How many bullets did he fire?" Licorice asked curiously.
"No less than forty rounds." Vincent said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"I think if you let him use a machine gun, maybe he'll hit us?"
"Maybe, after all, the recoil of the machine gun is not comparable to the rifle in our hands, but the fixed-point heavy machine gun should be fine, let's continue to observe his results, novices are basically like this, and there are only a very few people like you who can master it so quickly." Vincent decided to continue observing, because it is a very common phenomenon for novices to miss the target when they first get started, they can't control the recoil when firing the gun well, and basically they can't shoot accurately without training for hundreds of rounds in a few days.
"You're the boss, you have the final say!" Licorice means it doesn't matter, listen to you.
After resting for a while, Licorice continued to pick up the gun and practice shooting, first to achieve a 100-meter target that could accurately hit the bull's-eye, and then to practice 150 meters, followed by 200 meters, 300 meters, moving targets and 400 meters, but for the time being, 200 meters is the limit.
In this way, after more than a month, licorice has been able to accurately hit the bull's-eye of the 150-meter target, but it cannot be a continuous hit, and five bullets in a magazine can only hit two shots at most in the bull's-eye, but this achievement has attracted the attention of Major Adrian Schroeder, so he has specially added a lot of additional physical training to licorice, plus more than a month of newly added training items, such as tactical training, positional defense training, fortifications and bunker digging training. Licorice was so exhausted from the amount of training that he didn't even have time to think about the current situation, until Daniel's angry voice rang out.
"It's war! Our troops have already crossed the Eastern Front, the war has begun, but why are we still training on the outskirts of the capital? ”
"Calm down, even if the Great German Infantry Regiment is transferred to the front, it has nothing to do with you, a recruit who has only been training for less than two months." Vincent decisively poured a basin of cold water to extinguish Daniel's burning fighting spirit.
"We are a unit with a national honorary title, and we were not in the first battle!" Said the other soldiers around.
Hearing these discussions, Licorice reacted, is it already September 1st? The war has begun, the first division in the world, the Great German Division, I finally remembered.
