StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 9 Recruit Sergeant

Afterwards, the first squad of the second platoon of D Company was still playing cards.

After Harnack lost all his shirts, trousers, belts, crash car models and various styles of underwear, and was about to gamble his next month's salary to continue playing cards, Augustus duly sent all the recruits in the class to bed. .

It was already two o'clock in the morning. Except for Hanak, who was not sleepy, all the recruits went to bed obediently.

Augustus ignored Harnak and forced him to sleep and rest as usual. Because he was the last one to arrive at the dormitory, Augustus had no bed to choose from, and all he had left was the lower bunk closest to the door.

I want to remind you, Harnack, the reveille will sound at 6 o'clock on time. Before lying down and closing his eyes to fall asleep, Augustus looked at the man who was still sitting on the stool with his shirtless body, his back to him, looking thoughtful. Harnack said.

Augustus' unusually calm performance and calm temperament today undoubtedly left a deep impression on Harnack. On the marginal agricultural planet of Shiloh, Harnak was used to seeing migrant workers, homeless scoundrels, and gangsters, but he had never met anyone like him.

Therefore, although the red-haired boy is still resistant to Augustus's orders, he will listen to them and at least think through his mind to think about whether he should listen to Augustus's words.

After thinking that not sleeping would do him no good at all, Hanak cursed and returned to his bed.

Shit.

The wake-up call sounded on time, and the holographic images of mechanical sergeant Tavis kicked open each dormitory door on time. At this time, the recruits in the second platoon and first squad of D Company began to regret last night's carnival.

The first subject for recruits of the Tyranid Federation is ideological education. Augustus and his squad must arrive at the millstone-shaped central square of Turasis's main base at 6:30.

About 7,000 recruits formed a tight phalanx in the central square. The battalion commander of the recruit training camp, Major McBeal, gave training to all recruits, instilling the values ​​of the Terran Federation military and the central idea of ​​maintaining the Federation's rule in this sector.

Finally, Major McBride emphasized the discipline and regulations of the Federal Marines and asked everyone to memorize them.

Augustus also learned that the elimination rate of recruits at Turasis's main base has always been below 5%, but no one knows where the eliminated recruits ended up.

Major McBride's hour-long pre-training speech was extremely long. Except for Augustus, almost no one was interested in the major's speech. The recruits in the second platoon and the first class, including Jim Raynor, were all drowsy.

During this period, Augustus firmly memorized every military rule and discipline, and carefully considered which of them must be observed and which could be ignored.

And, which one has loopholes to exploit?

After the training, Augustus's D company regrouped and went to a cross-country training ground in the base under the leadership of a noncommissioned officer platoon leader for standard physical training. The training items included basic formation military postures, eight-minute Subjects such as two-kilometer run and multiple sets of pull-ups and other curved body stretches.

Augustus was then told that more systematic firearms and CMC power armor training would not begin until the third week.

In the afternoon, virtual sergeant Tavis announced that the originally planned twelve weeks of recruit training would be shortened to nine weeks, and the recruits would be able to get their hands on a gun as late as the next week.

This means that the war on Turasis II has further escalated, and the frontline is in urgent need of additional troops.

Augustus was more worried that the shortened training time would lead to a decline in the combat capabilities of the soldiers, but since the combat headquarters was not worried, there was nothing he could do.

In the training camp, only platoon and company-level leaders are served by formal officers, while squad leaders are all served by recruits. Perhaps the Operations Department wants to train some reserve officers in advance, but it is more likely that there are not enough qualified and competent officers.

As a recruit sergeant, Augustus needed to put into practice the orders of his superior officers and strictly manage his soldiers to ensure that they would not fall behind in training.

Augustus was satisfied that the recruits in the first class were all quite good. At least their physical strength was not a problem. The soldiers from Shiloh were basically farmers, high school graduates and truck drivers. They came from Antiga and Buenos Aires. The recruits from Lysis and Terrador also have strong bodies.

Only Benjamin Crandall of the self-cultivated planet Helsain had been a monk in the local church before, but in fact he was tall and powerful, the tallest among them all, with a height of six feet five. inches high.

In Hanak's words, it looks like he can fight quite well.

The real laggards were the two high school classmates from Augustus Kerhal, Kurt Josephine and Alain de Rundstein.

The schools Augustus attended from childhood to adulthood were without exception the best aristocratic school in Stillling, and of course his classmates were all pampered aristocratic descendants.

Even though not everything needs to be done by servants, the physical quality is much worse than that of other people who grew up crawling around in the mud and streets.

In fact, Augustus's friendship with them was very limited. In the past, he was always surrounded by a group of villains and frivolous idlers, and Josephine and Rundstein were in another group with him. different groups.

But in any case, this special relationship on the battlefield will undoubtedly make them feel close to Augustus. Whenever Augustus issues training orders or has any new suggestions, these new recruits of Korhal will always Will respond to him as soon as possible.

This was crucial for Augustus to establish prestige among his own team, making his future plans of forming his own team possible. There are currently two main groups in the small second platoon and first class, one is led by the Keha people of Augustus, and the other is the Shiloh people led by Jim Raynor.

Augustus believed that these barriers would soon disappear, and that in boot camp he would establish initial trust with the warriors in his squad. Once they embark on the war, the battlefield friendship of life and death will eventually make them closely linked together.

Throughout the next day, Robot Sergeant Tavis will appear in front of the recruits at any time and in any way to correct their standing and training postures.

There were also many people who were disgraced and their legs and feet were weak due to the sudden appearance of the Camorian tanks that ran over them or the bullets and rockets flying from unknown directions, but it didn't take long for the recruits to feel numb to this.

After all, none of these things can be true.

Another major training subject for recruits is to fight against the Kaimorian troops that may appear at any time. During this time in the recruit training camp, they must overcome their fear of the battlefield and the enemy.

Among these sudden appearance of the Kemerian army, there are both fully armed Rippers and Kemerian labor auxiliaries who are completely unprotected, wearing only khaki overalls and helmets, carrying electromagnetic rifles and ammunition bags. military. If there's one thing the Camorians are known for, it's taking parts from seemingly incomplete items or machines and cobbling them together into something barely usable.

Augustus was told that there were some notorious Camerian special forces to watch out for, such as the Sentinels of Moria, the Kelanis-Schering Guards, the Three-Headed Serpents, the Hygorrons, the Shock Troopers, and the Guild Guards. , Brutus Brotherhood

The holographic projection simulation army that can cover a quarter of the entire base area is all real. What Augustus and his new recruits and comrades have to do during this period is to become familiar with the combat mode of the Camorion regular army. Also remember the insignia and combat habits of all the famous kaimorian fighting units.

For example, the three-headed snake's fighting style is just like a group of hyenas pounced on their prey. They often appear in deserts and desert grasslands with little cover, riding in assault reconnaissance vehicles to hunt the isolated Tyranid Federation troops.

The logo is a dark green three-headed snake with its upper body raised in a threatening gesture.

The Guild Guards (GUild Guards) are composed of the most heroic warriors from various guilds in Kaimorien. They are widely known for their absolute loyalty to the guild and their unique practice of still following the tradition of using cold weapons and revolvers as their primary weapons of war.

Some Terran Federation military experts believe that the spiritual symbol of the Guild Guard is far greater than its practical significance. Usually, they only appear as an honor guard during ancestral sacrifice ceremonies in Moria.

The emblem is a sword and shield pattern with a pure white background and an amber border.
