Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 381 I'm in Big Trouble

The Boer officers and soldiers in the Transvaal had never seen such a formation.

Prior to this, the troops in the Transvaal organized training. In order to adapt to the "queue to shoot" tactic, most of the time was concentrated on the formation of the formation. A long-distance training session is about to come.

Now the new First Cavalry Division has just been established, so the long-distance training is only ten kilometers.

After a while, when the officers and soldiers get used to this intensity, the training distance will be gradually extended. 20 kilometers is just the start, 35 kilometers is drizzle, and 50 kilometers is normal.

During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the 38th Army ran 70 kilometers a day and night, and fought after arriving at the location. This is the ultimate form of long-distance training.

The new Boers were organized into Company G. The two chief officers of the company were both British, one named William and the other named Ross. They probably didn't know what they were about to face, so they were in a good mood at the moment.

Once formally incorporated, Company G will also receive training. As the commanders of the company, William and Ross must train with the troops. This is not in line with the tradition of the British army, but if they do not train with the company, Rock will return the person to Ade, and then let them figure it out.

It is estimated that G Company will be very miserable in the future. For a long time, it is estimated that they will serve other people while eating, and clean the toilet after eating by the way.

William and Rose are not yet conscious of this. After reporting to Suo Chao, Company G got a day's rest. When he walked out of Suo Chao's office, William was still in a good mood: "The new First Cavalry Division is very good. A start!"

"Don't be so optimistic, think about the troops formed by those yellow men just now, do you think our company can defeat them?" Rose's face was a bit ugly, and the scene at the gate of the camp just now gave Rose a great shock.

What shocked Rose was the sturdy aura shown by the Chinese soldiers.

If it was just military discipline, then Ross would not be too surprised. Many troops in this era have good discipline, including the troops that William and Ross were in before, and the discipline of the soldiers is also very good. neatly shaped.

What surprised Ross was that while the Chinese soldiers were in neat formation, they also had strong personalities. Other troops in this era did not emphasize personalities. They even strictly prohibited making loud noises when they were in action, and they paid attention to silent marching.

The Chinese soldiers of the new [-]st Cavalry Division are definitely not like this. They provoked each other when they went out just now.

"Company G doesn't need to defeat them. Company G only needs to defeat Company F." William was triumphant. Although the Boers probably couldn't beat the Chinese, William still had a psychological advantage in front of the Africans.

Ross stopped talking nonsense. F Company is a force composed entirely of Africans. When we entered the camp just now, the officers and soldiers of F Company were on duty at the gate of the camp. In Ross's view, F Company was a standard auxiliary force. At that time, the status was probably not much higher than that of a civilian husband.

For William to be able to think this way, it is considered ideal.

Because the official camp has not yet been built, the new First Cavalry Division is using a temporary camp. The barracks are similar to warehouses. The beds are all simple wooden beds. Rock also wants to use iron frame beds with upper and lower structures, but it is a pity that steel The output is insufficient, and it is not yet luxurious to this extent.

In the barracks, the logistics officers and soldiers of the newly formed [-]st Cavalry Division are distributing equipment to the officers and soldiers of G Company. Every soldier can receive a set of brand new bedding, two sets of brand new military uniforms, steel helmets, leather shoes, backpacks, etc. .

"I went to Company H to see, and their individual equipment is the same as ours." A second lieutenant approached Ross and said softly.

"Don't worry too much about it. Lord Nyasaland is not so stingy yet. The question we have to worry about now is, if our performance is still inferior to other companies under the same conditions, what does this mean?" Rose Frowning, he hoped that Company H would be discriminated against, so there was a reason for failure.

"You think we can't even beat the Africans?" William didn't know what kind of opponent they were going to face.

The H company of the newly formed 80st Cavalry Division now has a total of [-] people, which is just a dissatisfied company.

But don't look down on these Africans because you are dissatisfied with the editor.

The main force of Company H is the detective team of the Johannesburg Police Department. All of them are good fighters selected by Yaya from the detective team. He also participated in the conflicts in Nyasaland and the Congo Free State. In terms of combat experience, the officers and soldiers of Company H are actually the most abundant.

Yaya did not come to the new [-]st Cavalry Division as she wished, but stayed at the Johannesburg Police Station.

The commander of Company H is Captain Geng Biao who was knighted after the suppression of the rebellion.

Geng Biao was not satisfied with this arrangement, so these days, Geng Biao practiced H Company to death, causing several people in H Company to be injured during training.

Geng Biao was also imprisoned for this reason, and was introspecting in a small black room.

When Geng Biao is released, it is estimated that there is a high probability that the situation will intensify. At that time, not to mention Company G, other companies composed of Chinese soldiers will also face serious challenges.

"William, I'm not talking about frustration. In the Zulu rebellion some time ago, we really didn't even win the Zulu people." Ross was under great pressure, feeling faintly that the future was not good.

"It was just an accident!" William refused to accept. When the garrison in the Transvaal arrived in Natal, the rebels had already been driven back to Basutoland by the Rhodesian Northern Division, and William's troops did not participate in the battle at all.

"Stand at attention!" The officer on duty finally found William and Rose, and gave an order, and all the soldiers lined up neatly on both sides of the central passage.

These soldiers were actually carefully selected by Hopkins, and their basic qualities are still very good.

Seeing this scene, even Ross, who had been worried all this time, finally relaxed a little.

"Relax, you have all seen the enthusiasm shown by other companies in training, so you will have a journey to hell, enjoy the relaxation now, starting tomorrow, our G company will also enter In terms of training status, my request is to defeat all other companies of the newly formed [-]st Cavalry Division. If anyone can’t do this, it’s best to stand up now, otherwise once you recognize this standard, you will have no way back!” William To be a company commander, the level must still be there.

At this time, there must be no one to stand up. William expressed his satisfaction with the morale of the troops, said "very good", and then returned to their dormitory with Rose.

Although the new [-]st Cavalry Division doesn't do anything special, they still have the basic treatment for officers, and the single dormitory can be guaranteed, which is the kind of suite that Rock used to live in when he was at the Cape Town Police Station.

The furniture in the suite was all new, and the room was cleaned very clean, but William still called a soldier from the "warehouse" to come over and clean it again. This was William's prerogative as the company commander.

While the soldiers were cleaning the room, William dragged a chair and sat in the corridor looking through the various regulations of the new [-]st Cavalry Division.

The regulations are still very detailed, basically a replica of the northern division of Rhodesia, William saw it for the first time, so he couldn't help frowning after watching it.

"Are you a bit confused?" Rose brought William a cup of coffee, and placed it on the window sill beside William.

"It's a little—" William finally couldn't laugh at this moment.

From the perspective of 1903, the regulations of the new First Cavalry Division were so strict that they were almost harsh.

For example, the most basic formation formation, the new First Cavalry Division has no relevant regulations in this regard, but don't think it is not important, this is because in Rock's view, formation formation training should be done in the recruit company. Completed, after entering the new First Cavalry Division, there is no need for training in this area, and it is not necessary to participate in the military parade.

The new [-]st Cavalry Division pays attention to the basic tactical skills of individuals, such as shooting. The requirements of the British army are not strict in this respect. It is true that precise shooting skills are not needed in queuing up, but the new [-]st Cavalry Division is different. , In the new First Cavalry Division, not to mention the marksmanship of precision shooters, even the most ordinary privates should have good marksmanship.

The standard for the new First Cavalry Division is 100 meters chest target, ten rounds of bullets, 60 rings and above are pass, 70 to 90 are good, and 90 and above are excellent.

The embarrassing thing is that neither William nor Rose knew what a chest target was, nor did they know what the "ring" meant. Shooting during this period was not taken seriously. The Olympic Games to be held in St. Louis next year even canceled the shooting competition. William and Rose's previous troops hadn't trained in similar items, so they were at a loss.

If you don’t understand, you have to ask, so William and Ross went to the shooting range in the camp and saw the chest target with their own eyes. Only then did they understand what a “ring” is and experience it for themselves.

The grades are a bit miserable.

William, as a captain, scored only 15 rings. Ross's score was slightly better, but he did not reach the passing level, only 50 rings.

Both of them were a little speechless looking at their transcripts.

"It seems that we also have to train with the troops." William suddenly realized the problem.

"Yes—" Rose was also speechless. In Rose's opinion, this standard was a bit too harsh.

"Soldier, come here, come and shoot." William still had a way, and raised his hand to call the non-commissioned officer on duty at the shooting range.

The non-commissioned officer on duty was expressionless and didn't care about William's title. After ten shots were fired, William and Rose were even more speechless.

85!

Properly good.

The point is, the non-commissioned officer on duty is still African.

Big trouble now.
