The discussion of a group of people was in full swing, and the people who had put down their burdens unconsciously participated. People talk about everything they can think of.

When people are not afraid, people's minds become active. Sun Gan asked the clerk to record everyone's opinions, as time went by, looking at the clerk's notebook more and more opinions, Sun Gan's smile became more and more, it is not terrible to make mistakes, what is terrible is not to admit mistakes, everyone can find out the root of the problem from it is the greatest support for Sun Gan.

What is a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it is the best proof that it is used on A company.

On the playground the next day, Sun Qian held a summary meeting for the whole company. Looking at the square array that was missing, Sun Gan's expression unconsciously became serious.

"Soldiers, as a commander, the first thing I have to do is to praise you." , Sun Qian did not say the problem of Quanlian at the beginning.

"Because of your bravery, we have been praised not only by the battalion commander, but also by the Allied command, which has never eliminated the German commandos in a formed way before, and you have performed miracles." , Sun Gan's words warmed everyone's hearts.

"What's more, we are recognized by the coalition forces. You know, we not only represent ourselves, we also represent the entire US army, people always think that we are young soldiers, but it is we young soldiers who successfully completed the reconnaissance behind enemy lines, and then eliminated the German commandos, and your performance is worthy of the title of soldiers. Sun Qian continued to praise everyone.

"In the near future, our large army will arrive, you have set a good example for the large army, think about whether we will become respectable heroes when they hear about the performance of our company from the mouths of others." , Sun Qian said seductively.

"Now, my heroes, I am here today not only to honor you, but also to take credit for our fallen and wounded comrades." , Sun Gan's voice became low again.

"Our victory is the result of the joint efforts of all, and I don't want anyone to forget those comrades who sacrificed their lives." , Sun Qian said.

"Let us observe a moment of silence for the soldiers who have sacrificed their lives!" , Sun Qian took the lead in taking off his hat.

"Well, the deceased is gone, we have to look forward, the important thing is that we absorb the experience and not make the same mistakes again!" , Sun Qian began to prepare a summary.

"First of all, I want to admit my mistake." , Looking at a group of slightly surprised people, Sun Qian didn't explain too much.

"My mistake lies in believing in our training too much, after all, you are on the battlefield for the first time with real guns and ammunition, and no matter how good the pre-war adaptive training is, it cannot replace the actual battle. In addition, I underestimated the strength of the enemy army, the combat effectiveness of the German army was already very strong after two years of training, and I was immature to use the previous reconnaissance behind enemy lines as a calculation of the strength of the commando, which caused unnecessary sacrifices, and I felt sad. Sun Qian bowed deeply to everyone.

"Also, I neglected the education of the troops, we must know that we have come all the way here, not to fight but to protect our relatives from the devastation of the war, just imagine that if the Germans defeat the coalition forces, then we cannot guarantee that we will not be invaded even if we are far away from the ocean, so my brothers, please fight hard." , Sun Qian encouraged everyone and said.

After that, Sun Gan also added ideological activities to the training of Company A, which enabled the soldiers of Company A to know what they were fighting for from the very beginning, and this kind of ideological education ran through Sun Gan's life in building troops.

…………

General Pershing led 500,000 American troops to come, and a large number of rookies who had never participated in actual combat were as interested as little hens in heat, so that the soldiers of the entire A Company were no different from watching a group of poor monkeys.

"Except for the military appearance, which is passable, there is no merit." , in the words of the soldiers of Company A.

Sun Qian was taken by Lieutenant Colonel Memphis to meet with General Pershing. When Sun Qian saw the excited Pershing and a group of high-spirited American generals, Lieutenant Colonel Memphis and Sun Qian always had a bad feeling after looking at each other.

"My children, well done, I have heard about your excellent performance, you fought beautifully for the righteous battle of our American army, and see who will say that we are old soldiers in the future." As soon as General Pershing came up, he set the tone for this meeting.

"General, I am what we should do, not worthy of your compliment!", Lieutenant Colonel Memphis had to pave the way for the future.

"Children, I will truthfully report what you have done to Washington, now that we have hundreds of thousands of troops on our side, do you think we can achieve a greater victory in the next step." Pershing did not give up this opportunity.

"General, IMHO, our army does not yet have the ability to directly participate in the war." , Lieutenant Colonel Memphis said stiffly.

"Oh, tell me, why, are our lads still afraid." , Pershing was also puzzled.

In Pershing's view, these troops he led had high morale. As long as he commands properly, he will definitely be able to tear through the opposing defense, and he still has a reason to have to enter the battle as soon as possible. Since the United States was not well prepared, even the weapons and equipment were provided by France, and there was indeed a lack of training. This made the presence of the US military in the coalition forces very weak, and Pershing was eager to take this opportunity to give the US military independent command. Therefore, Pershing wanted to take advantage of this small victory to seize the initiative of the US military in the future.

"General, I have to say that our lads are not ready, not to mention the issue of weapons, just what I see shows that our army is not ready for battle." , Lieutenant Colonel Memphis is also out of the way.

"First of all, don't look at the high morale, but the awareness of war is not in place, and many people have not yet been able to convert from civilian status. Secondly, we have a serious lack of understanding of the combat effectiveness of both sides, and we always think that as long as we participate in the battle, we will achieve victory, and we must know that our ambush battle is also a disastrous victory, and if it is not for the timely arrival of the support troops, we are very likely to let the German commandos run away. I think we still lack experience with such large-scale battles, and my advice is to refrain from participating in such battles directly for the time being. Lieutenant Colonel Memphis said very politely, which made the generals very embarrassed.

"Captain, I think you seem to agree with what your battalion commander said." , A general looked at Sun Gan's expression of approval, so he pointed the finger at him without thinking about it, you must know that he has always advocated the participation of the US military in the war.

"Yes, General. I very much agree with what our battalion commander said. Sun Qian was not ambiguous.

"Then you tell us about the situation from your point of view." Pershing still admires this young man who brought honor to the US military.

"Yes, General." , Sun Qian replied cleanly.

"My company went on two missions after coming to the front. The first time was a reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines, and I have to say, we did a great job. But in the second ambush mission, I had to discourage everyone, and in my opinion, this ambush mission can only be regarded as a tie with the other side, and it is when we have the advantage. Sun Qian paused for a moment to give everyone time to think.

"You go on." , said a general.

"First of all, I, we all overestimate our own combat effectiveness, especially commanders at all levels. When the battle happens, a lot of people don't know what to do anymore, and this is still what we call devil-trained soldiers, and I don't think ordinary soldiers can do better than us. Secondly, I underestimated the combat effectiveness of the German army, although the German army is now slightly tired, but I have to admit that after more than two years of war baptism, the individual combat effectiveness of the German army is really strong in most of our German army, this battle my command is less than 30 meters from the nearest enemy, grenades can easily be thrown at my feet, if I hadn't called for coalition artillery fire, I probably wouldn't have been able to stand here. Moreover, we do not have a good way to restrain the opposing defense system, and if we rely on ourselves alone, we are likely to suffer heavy losses. Sun Qian didn't dare to say too much, but simply listed some of the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

Pershing had to be cautious, you must know that in his impression, not to mention Sun Qian, Lieutenant Colonel Memphis is a soldier who dares to fight, and this time he actually opposes it, which has to make him cautious, after all, one of his orders is related to the life and death of many people.
