Eight hundred and seventieth chapters Cramer
As the helicopter carrying the first battalion landed in Laroshjirong Village, the diving training of the first battalion was soon launched.
The training ground is right next to the village of Seine.
The Seine River is a large river in northern France. It is more than 200 meters wide in the Laroche Giron village section, which is very suitable for soldiers to do diving training.
Since the mission has been determined to launch a sneak attack on Dover at night, and to train to avoid being discovered by British pilots, it is usually carried out at night.
It started with diving training.
This is not stressful for the soldiers of the first battalion, and in fact they still like this kind of training... The temperature in Paris in mid-March is between 7 and 15 degrees. This temperature may be considered cold for ordinary people, but it is simply warm for the soldiers of the first battalion who have just returned from the Soviet Union.
On the other hand, the whole training is swimming in the water, which has always been their dream.
The only thing that makes them uncomfortable is having to wear a diving suit.
For this reason, Werner protested: "Lieutenant Colonel, I think we should take off the diving suit for weight reduction!"
"I agree, Lieutenant Colonel!" said Alphredo. "It's better to take off your body!"
As he said that, the soldiers laughed in the water.
Someone was greeting Qin Chuan on the shore in the water: "Lieutenant Colonel, aren't you together? I just love diving training!"
Qin Chuan just nodded at them in response.
The follow-up training of the first battalion was to learn to use underwater thrusters... However, this was difficult, so I grabbed the thruster and let it move forward. In order not to leave the thruster and leave the driver, the researchers also designed a grip switch in a very humane manner.
That is, it will only start if the driver holds the thruster, otherwise it will automatically shut down.
Later on, there should be a complete set of training.
That is, it is transported to the river by helicopter, then jumped into the river from the helicopter and advanced for five hours continuously... The speed of the underwater thruster can reach five kilometers per hour, and it takes five hours to reach the other side from the central line of the strait.
Among them, they also need to train how to avoid Allied patrol boats, etc.
But Qin Chuan was not thinking more about this, but about these subordinates who had been with each other for many years and who had lived and died together, they were likely to be unable to return to this battle.
Qin Chuan didn't know how to tell them, especially because he was not allowed to participate in this operation, which made Qin Zhong feel like a deserter.
Many times, Qin Chuan wanted to escape from them because he could not face the trusted eyes of his subordinates.
Before this, these eyes would make Qin Chuan feel warm.
But now, they will make Qin Chuan feel a burst of pain, as if he swallowed a burning cigarette butt, and as if he stuffed a piece of red iron into it.
This feeling made Qin Chuan unable to sleep all night but had no choice. Sometimes he hoped that he could take them with him and accompany them to complete the last task.
But he knew Rommel would not agree.
The reason is very simple. Qin Chuan's role in this battle or future battles will be far more than that.
Rommel saw it very clearly, so he would rather cancel the entire plan than let Qin Chuan lead the team to carry out this task.
After the training was held for a week, Rommel would come to inspect the training progress from time to time, and occasionally understand An Wei Qinchuan's words.
But this matter always cannot let Qin Chuan go.
Early this morning, the correspondent woke Qin Chuan up: "Lieutenant Colonel, the marshal asked you to prepare and set out for Paris right away!"
"Paris?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little confused when he heard this.
Paris means Ronderstedt, because only Ronderstedt can call Ronmel.
But Longdestedt would not get up before 10 o'clock, just like last time, I had breakfast just at half past ten o'clock, so I went to the command center to have lunch again.
But it's six o'clock in the morning, but Longdestedt has woken up?
Sure enough, when Qin Chuan got on the bus with Colonel Rommel and Slain, Rommel said: "The commander-in-chief ordered us to go to the command center!"
After pausing, he added: "Maybe it's related to the 1st Army, because he appointed the three of us!"
Rommel guessed correctly, it was indeed related to the 1st Army.
When Rommel and Qin Chuan and others walked into the "Bold Rooster", they saw Longdestedt having dinner with a veteran general. The two chatted and laughed, and raised their glasses to pay tribute from time to time.
Seeing Rommel walk in, the old general quickly stood up excitedly to salute, but his movements were a little slow, which made people feel unsteady.
"Hisser Marshal!" The old general stood up.
Rommel looked at the old general and said in surprise: "General Cramer, it's really you, you are not..."
"Yes, Marshal Rommel!" Longdstedt explained: "He is your old subordinate, Hans Kramer, the commander of the African Armored Army."
"You are not..." Rommel looked at Cramer with an incredible look: "Aren't you captured by the Americans?"
"Yes, Lord Marshal!" Cramer replied: "You remember correctly, in Tunisia!"
This happened when the German main force retreated from Alahman to Algeria, when Qin Chuan was building a Gabes defense line in Algeria.
"Then now..." Rommel still didn't understand how Cramer came back.
"Because General Cramer's health is getting worse, Marshal Rommel!" Longdstedt seemed patient: "So, at the request of the Swiss Red Cross, the Allied general Cramer was sent back!"
Rommel reacted, nodded, then went up and hugged General Cramer, and said, "Great, General Cramer, I'm glad to see you return safely!"
"Thank you, Marshal Rommel!"
At the sign of Ronderstedt, Rommel sat next to General Cramer.
Longdstedt seemed to be trying his best to control his excitement. He first toasted Rommel and Cramer with a glass of wine, and then said: "Dear Marshal Rommel, let you and your subordinates arrive here this time. In addition to celebrating General Cramer's return, I also hope you can hear General Cramer's experience..."
"Of course!" Rommel nodded with a smile.
But Rommel's eyes betrayed him. Rommel didn't want to hear any experience. He just wanted to work and welcome the upcoming war in the best condition rather than listening to a prisoner telling the treatment of the prisoner's camp, although General Cramer was his old subordinate.
Longdstedt seemed to see through Rommel's thoughts, so he added: "General Cramer... before returning, passing Dover, I think you will be interested in knowing what he saw!"
