Chapter 64 Snow in the North

Snow!

The snow fluttering all over the sky fell from the sky. The vast outer Mongolian grassland was covered with silver, forming a unique grassland scenery. After the grassland turned into a snowfield, it was the kind of rough, atmospheric and vast beauty, with few wind and snow, and few curves.

On the snowfield, in a barracks surrounded by barbed wire, tents are next to each other. Every day and every hour, there is a stiff command in Chinese.

In the center of the camp, on the two flagpoles, a Chinese tricolor flag and a Japanese plaster flag are fluttering against the cold wind of Siberia. This camp, covering an area of several square kilometers, is the training camp of the Japanese army. Nearly 20,000 Japanese soldiers are trained by two [***] officials here.

The thermometer dropped to minus 25 degrees. At this time, the soldiers standing in the snow were all wearing thick tweed coats and dog fur hats on their heads. But even so, their faces were still frozen purple and blue, but there was no trace of resentment on the faces of these Japanese soldiers. Each of them knew it clearly. My responsibility is to regard the expedition as an honor.

And the only thing that makes them uncomfortable is probably the middle [***] consultant who appeared in the training camp, but the appearance of the middle [***] consultant is expected. After all, they wear medium [***] clothes, eat medium [***] grain, and use Chinese weapons, and they are also Training is carried out on the land of China. In this case, it is natural for a consultant to appear.

Gao Shaobo, the captain of the guard army, looked at the soldiers in front of them with dissatisfaction. They will go to the battlefield in three months, and then fight with the German [***] team and the Austro-Hungarian army in the vast land of Russia. Admittedly, even the soldiers of the Guards Army are not like these Japanese. Soldiers pay so much attention to serving the king as the country, and serving the country with seven lives and death. It is said that there is a clear difference between this soldier and the Chinese soldier, but this does not mean that they are excellent soldiers.

Gao Shaobo is a soldier. Only a real soldier can be respected from him, and the ridiculous guys in front of him are not even a militia in his eyes.

"What kind of garbage is this! Can this kind of thing kill Germans? It's just a mess."

Gao Shaobo said to himself, and deliberately made his volume just so that even these soldiers could hear it. He said this sentence in Japanese. Many [***] officials can speak Japanese, and many officers can speak Chinese. Sure enough, after he said this sentence, those who said it was on his face. They all showed shame and indignation, and the queue was suddenly much more neat.

He walked back and forth in front of the squadron several times, and then stopped and said:

"I have a few words to say to you new recruits. It is said that you are the best young people recruited by the army. You are all proud of joining the army, but you may not be able to pass my standard test after three months. Instead of suffering for three months and then go back to China, it's better to get on the train now and go back. Ben also saved China three months of food, and I also saved a lot of trouble. If there is, stand up now.

No one made a sound. Keijiro Komura, standing in the second row, looked over the soldiers in front of him and stared at Gao Shaobo's face.

"Bastard, don't look down on people. You'd better shut up. I won't go back if I die!"

He thought that in this expedition, ten people in his village received a notice, but only two were selected. The reason is very simple. "Your Majesty only wants the best soldiers". It is a desirable thing to go abroad and go on an expedition to the desperate world. You know, it has been silent for eight years, but now it is said that this army. People are about to go on an expedition to Europe. In the motherland of those Westerners, they fight with Westerners. Even the Chinese don't have the "courage" to fight with Westerners. In Asia, only I can fight with Westerners!

What an honor this is. Keijiro Komura even imagined that in the future, after he returned to China, he would never go back to the moment when he was worshipped by people.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that no one answered, Gao Shaobo smiled contemptuously and said:

"Well, the training starts now! Let's start the first lesson!"

Xiaocun and others think that the first lesson is at most not to stand up and lie down or something. Before coming to China, the sergeants had urgently trained them for a week. They thought they were still a little sure, but the [***] official obviously did not intend to do so. He slowly walked in front of a soldier in the first row. Say:

"Exit!"

"Yes, sir!"

This is the same village of the small village, Dingyi Yokota. Regardless of the contemptuous eyes of the American instructor in front of him, he still tried his best to come out with the most perfect military posture.

"Is it cold?"

Gao Shaobo asked.

"The report will be empty, not hard..."

The stiff Chinese is spit out of Yokota's mouth and the use of Chinese in the training process, which is the requirement of the training camp. Although many Japanese officers do not agree, they can only choose to accept it in the end. They have no power to refute.

"Well, that's good!"

Gao Shaobo nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the Japanese soldiers beside him. Those soldiers were veterans, and they were responsible for cooperating with the training.

"Everyone, target, by the lake!"

Those soldiers with wooden sticks in their hands waved their sticks and roared loudly. If they moved a little slowly, they would hit them with a stick, leaving no mercy at all.

By a frozen lake outside the training camp, the ice on the lake had already been smashed. The village ran to the lake with everyone, looked at the ice on the shore of the lake, and then looked at the lake with ice. It suddenly felt cold in my heart, and my whole body became cold in an instant.

He knew from his father that after his father became a soldier, his first training was swimming. And now... "Everyone tie the rope!"

In the shouting of the military Cao, the village, like a fish-catching osprey, tied up with a rope like other people, suddenly pushed it from the shore to the lake, choked in the cold lake, then pulled up and took a breath, and then was pushed into the water again.

In a while, everyone's military uniforms froze into ice.

"The spirit of barbarism!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Gao Shaobo didn't realize that there was anything strange. The Guards Army and the Japanese Army were very similar to a large extent, especially in the training of recruits. When the recruits arrived at the regimental recruits and began their first training, all the boasting and encouragement disappeared. A group of perhaps the most fierce sergeants in the world couldn't help but slap and kick the people who handed them in order to make you bow down. This is just part of the plan to turn people into a "heroic soldier".

And a more important deep reason is to tell every soldier that there are no three impossible words in the army through that kind of cruel and ruthless training. As long as you do it, you can do it. I didn't do it because I didn't do it. I didn't try this idea. Thus, the soldiers have learned patience in the life of the army and learn that "as long as they can do it", and the collective punishment unique to the guard army instills collective consciousness in the soldiers, and these two are precious learning experiences that nothing can replace.

If there is any difference, I'm afraid that the officer corps is different. The discipline of the Japanese officer corps is the same as that of ordinary soldiers. It's common for a senior officer to slap a junior officer in public. Among the guards of the army, the honor of the officer corps is more emphasized. In terms of soldier training, China is the most affected by the Japanese, while in the officer corps, China is actually more affected by the education of the German [***] officer corps. After all, in the past nine years, the military cooperation between China and Germany has affected the army too much.

"Gao Jun doesn't seem to agree with this training method!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. Although the Chinese pronunciation seemed to be very authentic, Gao Shaobo still heard some of the bitter pronunciations. It was himself, yes, it was Major Ishihara.

"Mr. Ishihara!"

Turning around, Gao Shaobo smiled at Shi Guan. Although he was a captain, and the other party was a major with a rank higher than him, but according to the "tradition" of the Chinese officers at the same level, Gao Shaobo was on the same level as him. In this, Shi Guan naturally understood that it was because of this that he called Hu Gao Shaobo is "Gao Jun", which avoids the embarrassment of the two people's meeting.

"It's not that I disapprove!"

Gao Shaobo shook his head. He clearly knew what this kind of training method, which can even be described as cruel, brought. What it brought is that the infantry of the Chinese and Japanese armies has a world's first strongest item far beyond the Western powers - the basic tactics of infantry. Under the same logistical conditions, it does not deserve the support of armored troops and other arms. Under any terrain conditions, both Chinese infantry and Japanese infantry can defeat any of the same number of troops.

It's just that this army is a military first-class strong but very deformed army. Its strength is different from any other first-class power, but the Chinese army is the same as that of France and Germany. That kind of strength is all-round, from individual soldier literacy to strategic tactics, from military equipment to logistical supplies, each of which has its own. Thousands of years. The army's strategy is very bad, but the tactics are very strong, and the equipment is very bad, but the use is very good. It is also because of this that the middle [***] team is still stubbornly using Japanese-style infantry training while being fully moralized, in order to retain its best refinement.

Because of this, after the outbreak of the European War, the observers of the Chinese army stationed in France and Russia came to the conclusion that "China has the most elite infantry" after the battlefield staff travel. China's infantry training is exactly the same as learning from the Japanese, and even more cruel and cruel. Whether it is China or Japanese, they all agree. The best infantry can only be obtained through cruel training.

However, compared with the Japanese army, the Chinese [***] team has become more scientific and conducts cruel training within the scope of science because of learning from Germany. The most important difference is that the Chinese [***] team regards the soldiers as sincere, and the Japanese team... is just a machine!

"But..."

A little helpless smile on his face, Gao Shaobo said.

"It's an unforgivable mistake that they didn't take off their coats!"
