Chapter 92 Selected Elites

Standing in front of Lieutenant Colonel Bach again, Linn, the "defeated general", was able to lift his chest up high. According to statistics from the training officers, from the attacking party firing the first shot, the village he led the team to defend for an hour and ten minutes before declaring it lost. According to the rules of the confrontation drill, all the defenders were killed, while the attacking party lost 38 elite night war soldiers.

Under the gaze of all the participating soldiers, Lieutenant Colonel Bach closed his abdomen and chest out with his feet apart, his hands naturally behind him, his chin slightly raised his chin, and his eyes were straight ahead.

"We have invested eighty elite commandos and two armored vehicles carrying high-power infrared searchlights, and deprived you of the power to use night vision instruments and flares. This is indeed unfair to you. But... I just want each of you to understand that the battlefield is not fair! Most of the time, you have to face powerful opponents and have to fight in difficulties and even desperate situations! Everyone, mastering advanced weapons and skills does not mean controlling the battlefield. You still have a lot to learn and the road to go is still long. Only by constantly learning, constantly reflecting, and constantly improving your thinking and vision can you become a truly qualified battlefield elite!"

This sentence is very realistic and is also very encouraging to these soldiers who have experienced hard training. Lynn felt increasingly that Bach had an extraordinary leadership temperament. If the empire was not on the verge of collapse, young officers like him who had strong personal abilities and charms should have a lot of room for improvement, and they might even become a Rommel-like handsome man!

"After three weeks of formal training, all the courses have ended until today. Congratulations to you for successfully passing the graduation test! Next, you will join the glorious and mysterious 'Vampire' commando and become the special combat elite that scares the enemy. Use your youthful blood and steel will to fight for the head of state - fight for Germany!"

On this cold night, the fanatical slogans were like a shot of stimulant. The soldiers swept away their fatigue and responded with a high voice.

The atmosphere was so warm, but Bach walked to the side with a calm expression, and the lieutenant officer who looked a little like Charles de Gaulle walked to the front of the team.

After a brief introduction to himself, he told the group of soldiers who had just finished their training period that before they were supplemented with the commando teams, he would serve as their mentoring officers, place their daily life and equipment, and organize their daily training - this time may not be long, but he hoped that everyone would be ready to join the battle at any time and would be able to do their most precious life without hesitation when necessary.

For the real German soldiers, Lynn felt that "devoting himself" might be understandable, but he had a strong desire to survive from the beginning and hoped to do something great after the war ended. Therefore, he was a little disgusted with the lieutenant officer's tone.

After saying this, the lieutenant officer took over the role of training officer. Under his personal command, the soldiers lined up according to the new squad arrangement, then returned to the barracks with military cards, and were told that they would gather at 4 a.m. to take the bus to their new station.

After returning to the barracks, Lin En washed up and packed his luggage to prepare for half an hour. However, a training officer came unexpectedly and asked him to run to the command center to report immediately.

Although Lin En didn't understand why, he still executed the order as soon as possible. On the way to the destination, he met four soldiers who were previously elected as platoon leader by the soldiers. He also roughly knew that they all came from the grassroots troops of the SS, three were armed SS soldiers, and one was a veteran soldier. In daily training, the performance of the four of them was not the most outstanding, but they were very popular, and they showed a good overall view and leadership ability in some training subjects.

The appearance of each other seemed to be expected, and the five people walked together silently. The command center here was set up in a semi-underground fortification of reinforced concrete. From the outside, it looked like a huge rock. Ordinary soldiers had no chance to get close to each other. Under the guidance of the guards on duty, they walked through the cold cement corridor and entered the core part of the underground fortification for the first time. What was presented in front of them was a circular command hall covering an area of ​​about 200 square meters. The wall opposite was painted snow-white, and the middle was an eagle pattern spreading its wings and flying. A long 10,000-character flag belt was hung on both sides. The bright color difference of red, white and black formed a strong visual effect.

Similar to some movies that Lynn has seen, this circular command hall, divided into two floors, is a communication center, with many radio equipment placed around it. Because it was early in the morning, only three non-commissioned officers were still on duty. A group of five followed the guards along the clockwise staircase to the second floor - because the entire hall and the arc dome formed a hemispherical space, there was only a corridor for people to walk on the edge of this floor, and a conference room with floor-to-ceiling windows was on the second floor, opposite the eagle pattern and the 10-character flag belt - through the spotless glass, Lynn saw Bach, and several officers responsible for training in various subjects and "Lieutenant Charles de Gaulle" were also present at this time.

Pushing the door into the conference room, mixed with the smell of tobacco and hot coffee, the air filled with a strange atmosphere.

Seeing five soldiers entering in a row, Bach stood up very politely and said, "Everyone, please sit down!"

The temporary platoon leader of the company failed to lead his subordinates to win, and the original confidence of the five soldiers was reduced. When the orderly soldiers brought them hot coffee, they became more and more restrained.

These failed to escape the eyes of the young lieutenant colonel, and he smiled slightly: "Here, I would like to congratulate you all! Since you have shown superior ability and thinking in your training, according to our unanimous assessment, you will enter the second stage of special training as alternative elites. Under normal circumstances, this stage will last for half a month, but given the recent battlefield situation, we plan to reduce it to about ten days."

After hearing this, the five soldiers looked at each other at the same time. In addition to feeling relieved, they also felt a sense of joy to varying degrees.

It seems to be to give these "selected elites" a relatively relaxed psychological atmosphere, Bach intends to maintain his rare smile: "Everyone, go back and have a good sleep! You don't have to change the camp, and you will come to the command center after breakfast tomorrow!"

After hesitating for two seconds, the five big-headed soldiers who were still immersed in surprise hurriedly stood up. The wooden backrest chair inevitably rubbed against the smooth ground, making a harsh squeak.

"Sorry!" Lynn was the first to apologize to the officers. After that, the other four people remembered this basic etiquette.

Bach nodded slightly.

When he walked out of the conference room, the guard did not come to lead the way.

In fact, with the scale and structure of this building, it is enough to lead a road.

As they walked down the hall along the spiral stairs, the five soldiers all slowed down. Looking from above, the ground in the center of the hall was an enlarged map of Europe, and the spheres of influence were marked in different colors. At first glance, the green representing the British and American Allies and the black representing the Soviet army had squeezed the red into a very narrow space - on the Eastern Front, several lonely red areas became isolated islands in the black ocean.

Looking at this map and thinking about the precarious situation in Germany, the soldiers all looked solemn. Even if they had the opportunity to become the elite among the elite, relying on the power of a small group of people, even if they could do their best, they would not be able to change the magnificent overall situation of the war!

The powerless loss filled his chest again, and Lynn suddenly felt depressed. However, at this point, he gave up those unrealistic fantasies, seized time to understand, get familiar with his colleagues around him, win over those who are worthy of winning, and have a small team that can be controlled by him as soon as possible. In short, be prepared before the end of the empire comes, so as not to be at a loss and lose the opportunity in the final collapse.
