"How to strengthen the assault platoon!" the chief of staff asked with interest.
"It has three squads, each with sixteen people, plus a platoon leader and a deputy platoon leader, a total of fifty people!" Kong Jie replied as he thought about it.
"In wartime, each squad can be pulled out to perform tasks independently. They can advance, attack, retreat or defend."
"This is an idea I came up with based on the martial arts team!"
"The martial arts team can shine in enemy-occupied areas, and it can definitely show its power in the base area, so I thought of giving it a try. It happened that the original idea of the martial arts team was proposed by Huang Yu, and he was of high enough rank to let him be the platoon leader.
It couldn’t be more appropriate!”
"How to equip the assault platoon?" The chief of staff had already approved the regiment leader's decision to form an assault platoon and began to help him make suggestions. He immediately asked the biggest problem in forming an assault platoon for an independent regiment.
"Let Xiao Huang solve it by himself!" Kong Jie replied decisively.
"The equipment of the assault platoon is better than that of ordinary troops. If the regiment headquarters helps them solve the problem, other troops will definitely have objections!"
"If you are really capable of getting weapons and ammunition back, other troops will not have any objections!"
"Other battalion commanders also follow this rule!"
"During this period, except for the equipment and ammunition handed over to the regiment headquarters, other weapons can be kept for your own use."
"The establishment of the main force of the independent regiment is fixed. No one can expand the force without an order from the brigade headquarters."
"But we can form new troops and strengthen the firepower of the troops!"
"Within three months, I allow each main battalion to expand a company of recruits!"
"I don't care how many machine guns each company is equipped with, how many heavy machine guns each battalion is equipped with, and how many grenade launchers it is equipped with!"
"Li Yunlong once said: If you have the ability to eat meat, if you don't have the ability to drink soup!"
“I think this sentence is most suitable for the independent group in the next three months!”
"Once three months have passed, each battalion or company can no longer act without authorization!"
"Any battle plan must be reported to the regiment headquarters for approval, and the discipline of credit for seizures must be strictly enforced!"
Yangcun is the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, and Daxia Bay, two kilometers away, is where the Eighth Route Army headquarters is located.
The independent regiment was transferred here a month ago to protect the flank of the headquarters.
The guard company, artillery company, first battalion, and assault platoon directly under the regiment are all stationed in Yangcun.
Thanks to Huang Yu's efforts, the assault platoon was successfully established a month and a half ago, and consists of three reinforced squads. Under the hard training of the three squad leaders, it has begun to gain combat effectiveness.
But Huang Yu's mind was not on military training at the moment.
According to the development trajectory of "Bright Sword", Yamamoto Kazuki's special agent team will raid Yangcun within ten days at most.
The independent regiment suffered heavy losses in the battle, with more than 200 casualties. The Yamamoto special agent team did not suffer any losses. The huge battle loss ratio made the head of the headquarters furious, and he did not hesitate to take over the position of leader of the Kongjie independent regiment.
Now that I am here, I will definitely not let the tragedy happen again.
The Yamamoto Special Forces were the first true special forces on the North China battlefield. Given the current conditions of the Eighth Route Army, it was almost impossible to train a force of the same size to fight back, and there was not much time for training.
It's definitely not possible to confront them head-on.
Huang Yu thought of using his own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
Yamamoto's special forces have very strong melee assault capabilities and very strong firepower. They can't even defeat a main battalion at close range. However, their commandos are basically equipped with German submachine guns, which have a limited range.
If you can suppress them in a certain place, use light and heavy machine guns and mortars to launch long-distance attacks, without giving them a chance to engage in close combat.
Agents equipped with submachine guns can only be beaten passively on the battlefield, and no matter how strong they are, they cannot show their strength.
As soon as this idea came to mind, Huang Yu felt that he had found a way to defeat the Hashimoto Agent Team.
Whenever I have time in the past few days, I have been wandering around the village, analyzing the possible raid directions that Yamamoto's special team may choose.
The conclusion drawn is the entrance to the village.
For a special forces force that is good at sneak attacks, exposing its course of action means mission failure.
Colonel Yamamoto Kazuki didn't know about this situation, so he still passed through Yangcun as planned, made a sneak attack on Daxia Bay, and crashed into the big net prepared by Huang Yu.
"Report to the leader, assault platoon leader Huang Yu has something to report..." Huang Yu first found the leader.
The assault platoon has limited strength and is not equipped to restrain the artillery and heavy machine guns of Yamamoto's special agent team.
If you want to hit them hard at the entrance of Yangcun, you must ask the group leader for help.
"Aren't you targeting the little devil somewhere again?" Kong Jie asked with a worried look on his face when he saw Huang Yu.
During the three months of free operations, Huang Yu led an assault platoon with only one reinforced squad in continuous attacks and managed to get back a company's equipment.
If Kong Jie hadn't stopped him, he would have almost teamed up with the military workers behind enemy lines and the Second Battalion to pull out a medium-sized Japanese stronghold.
As a result, all the nearby Japanese and puppet troops focused their attention on the independent group.
The number of troops in the surrounding strongholds increased by nearly 50%, and the blockade became increasingly tight...
Kong Jie was afraid that Huang Yu would go out to cause trouble again and attract the attention of more Japanese and puppet troops.
If the Independent Regiment becomes a thorn in the side of the Japanese and puppet troops, the next raid will be difficult.
Huang Yu quickly shook his head: "Don't worry, captain!"
"The assault platoon strictly implements the orders of the regiment!"
"Since you told us not to go out to provoke the little devils, the commando team has been guarding the regiment headquarters for training!"
"Then if you don't train the assault platoon properly, why do you come to the regiment headquarters to find me?" Kong Jie breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Huang Yu and continued to ask.
"I want to train the assault platoon's assault and penetration capabilities, and let the assault platoon soldiers learn to use heavy machine guns and mortars!"
"If these two weapons are captured on the battlefield in the future, the assault platoon can use them after they get them. It is convenient and trouble-free!"
The chief of staff on the side suddenly interjected: "Captain, I think Huang Yu's idea is very good!"
"I encountered this situation two years ago when I was fighting Japanese!"
"An infantry gun was captured, but no soldier knows how to use it..."
"Faced with the Japanese who want to take back the artillery, we can only blow it up ruthlessly!"
"If someone had known how to use it in the first place, even if we had to blow up the artillery in the end, we could have shot the Japanese a few times before blowing up the artillery, so that they could also taste the feeling of being bombed. It would not be a problem to kill dozens more Japanese!"
"Platoon Leader Huang, how do you want the regiment headquarters to help you?"
It was definitely a surprise that the chief of staff intervened to help him. Huang Yu became more confident in persuading Kong Jie and quickly made his request while the iron was hot.
"There haven't been any big battles recently, right? I'd like to borrow the two heavy machine gun squads from the first battalion's machine gun platoon..."
"I also want to borrow the two mortar platoons from the artillery company to the assault platoon station..."
The chief of staff seemed to be very optimistic about Huang Yu's idea. He supported Kong Jie before he could speak: "I don't think there is any problem!"
"The first battalion and the artillery company are stationed in Yangcun. If something unexpected happens, the heavy machine gun squad and mortar platoon will be back in place immediately!"
"Captain, why don't you let Huang Yu try it?"
Kong Jie didn't find any problem here and nodded immediately: "Let the chief of staff make arrangements for you, I have no objection!"
