The reason is that I have to pick troops in the 40th Division... It would be fine if I was in another army. Anyway, with Commander Zhang's order, I can indeed pick whatever I want. But the 40th Division is my old army.
If you go up and pick off the soldiers of the 40th Division like this, you won't be able to get away with it in terms of face.
So I went to the regiment commander first... The reason why I went to the regiment commander instead of the division commander is that the most taboo in the army is to report to someone beyond the level... If I didn't go to the regiment commander first but directly went to the division commander, what would the regiment commander be thinking?
They all think: "These wings have grown hard, so they don't take me as the leader seriously!"
I knew a little bit about these things, so the first person I went to was the regiment leader, and I also invited Camp Commander Luo by the way, just like we usually had a normal conversation with them.
"Hey! We're here early today!" Captain Liu saw us walking in and enthusiastically invited us to sit down: "What? Battalion Commander Yang doesn't need to train your...synthetic battalion today?"
"It depends on what the regiment leader said!" I replied with a smile: "Isn't my synthetic battalion the regimental commander's synthetic battalion?"
"Huh?" The regiment leader glanced at me unexpectedly and said, "That's not right...I mean Battalion Commander Yang...what's wrong today...isn't it right...to be courteous for nothing, to annihilate or to steal! What are you doing?
Come up with an idea!”
I couldn't help but be shocked. I couldn't tell that Captain Liu was a sensible person.
But how can he admit: "Look at what the regiment leader said, I...do not have any crooked ideas. I just...thought of how to deal with the Japanese Japs! I came here to discuss it with you..."
"Hmm!" The group leader raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you thought of a way? Tell me..."
"That's it!" I said: "The tactics used by the Japanese during this period mainly have two directions. One is special operations, which is used on the second line or rear of our army. Its main purpose is to attack our army's supply and command.
departments, so as to achieve the purpose of damaging the morale and supplies of our army. Regarding this aspect, I think we should start from two aspects. One is to do a good job in the internal defense of our army, and the other is to carry out special operations against the Vietnamese army..."
"We also carried out special operations against the Vietnamese army?" Hearing this, Commander Liu and Commander Luo couldn't help being surprised.
"That's right!" I said: "It's impossible to guard against something like special operations, because they are waiting for the opportunity in the dark. Once our army makes a mistake or reveals a flaw, they will seize the opportunity to use it as the last possible weapon."
The speed is so fast that it can be retreated in one blow, so unless our army makes no mistakes, the Vietnamese agents will always succeed. So we can only reduce the chances of letting the Vietnamese agents succeed, and on the other hand, build our own agent force to attack the enemy.
of morale and supplies, and treat others in their own way!"
"It makes sense!" Captain Liu nodded: "This is a way of replacing defense with offense. If we can make the Vietnamese army miserable, its agents will naturally do less damage to us!"
"But this unit will be a little special!" I said: "Because this unit often goes deep behind enemy lines to carry out sabotage activities, it requires its members to be of high quality and quick to respond, and try to select elite soldiers!"
"That's no problem!" Commander Liu said: "We have so many soldiers in our army, how can we not select a single elite one?"
"The other aspect is sniper warfare!" I said: "This is used on the front line. As for layered excavation, I think it is second... Because it is mainly based on sniper warfare, so I think we should establish a
A sniper force suppresses the Vietnamese snipers, so that we can fundamentally attack the Vietnamese army’s layered tunneling tactics!”
"But..." Camp Commander Luo quickly raised a question: "That gun..."
"Don't worry about this!" I said: "The superiors have agreed to allocate sniper rifles to our troops, and our army has also made great progress in imitating sniper rifles. It won't be long before they are equipped in batches!"
"This is good news!" Commander Liu and Commander Luo couldn't help but beam with joy after hearing this.
"This unit must be composed of soldiers with excellent marksmanship, observation and other aspects!" I said: "Specially trained for Vietnamese snipers!"
"This is not a problem!" Commander Liu said: "There are so many sharpshooters in our army..."
At this point, Commander Liu couldn't help but say "Eh", then his face changed, and he asked: "The 'our troops' you are talking about...are you your synthetic battalion or my 118th regiment?"
"Captain, isn't this...the same thing?"
"I knew something was wrong!" Commander Liu pointed his fingers in front of me with some annoyance: "You are here to ask for troops from us, right?"
"Captain! Aren't I here to discuss it with you?"
"This matter is non-negotiable!" Commander Liu immediately spoke up: "You have selected all the good soldiers from our army. This is both a special agent unit and a sniper unit. What do you want us to do in the future?
War? Just disband us!"
"Commander, don't be impatient! Listen to me first..." I continued: "My thoughts are this... First of all, our combined battalion is from the 118th Regiment..."
"That's only in name!" Captain Liu said: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng, I'm the first to say something ugly... Our friendship is a friendship, and doing this will cost our lives. I won't agree to anything!"
I can understand Commander Liu's reaction. After all, we are in wartime, and the quality of the troops is generally not high, so good soldiers are treasures and the backbone of the army... If all the good soldiers are taken away
, which means that it will cause a serious blow to the combat effectiveness of this unit, and it also means that it may cause great casualties and loss of honor to the unit, so no matter how many personal relationships there are, it is useless.
But Captain Liu didn't know that I came to discuss it with him because of my personal relationship and my old army. Otherwise... Commander Zhang could have solved it with just one order.
Besides...the biggest problem of the army in this era is that it is too bloated. There are millions of soldiers in total but their quality is generally not high. Out of the desire to consolidate the army with elite troops, it is normal to dismantle a few troops.
But that's it.
Just looking at it from the perspective of Commander Liu...the first thing to protect is the honor of the unit. As a soldier, of course I understand this.
"Captain!" Seeing that Commander Liu was angry, I stopped beating around the bush and said, "To be honest, this is not my intention, but Commander Zhang's order! But if you trust me, Yang Xuefeng... I
Yang Xuefeng is also a soldier of the 118th Regiment.
I have been through life and death with you and Battalion Commander Luo, and I will never do anything detrimental to the troops. Just listen to what I have to say first. If you think it still doesn't work... I will immediately report to Commander Zhang and tell him to look for him in the 40th Division.
If you can’t find suitable soldiers, you’ll have to recruit them from other armies!”
Captain Liu was speechless as soon as he heard what I said. After a while, he nodded: "Tell me..."
"I have indeed come to the 40th Division to recruit soldiers now!" I said: "But this recruitment does not mean taking away the soldiers, it is more about training, training, and experiments... I will take these soldiers with me in the future.
Let’s go to the battlefield with the 40th Division and see if our training methods are right.
If we can deal with the Japanese Japs, then we can promote it to the whole army... Even these soldiers have to cooperate with the soldiers of the 40th Division, such as the sniper troops... They have to be dispersed into the army in groups of two people.
.Captain, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?”
Captain Liu couldn't help but be stunned when I said that.
"Commander!" At this time, Battalion Commander Luo interjected: "On the surface, this will indeed select a group of our good soldiers, but in fact, aren't they still fighting with us? Even the unit number is ours...
And if these trainings are effective, then our troops will be the first to benefit!"
You don’t have to wonder about this...the soldiers selected are all from the 40th Division. They will naturally have feelings for the 40th Division, and they will communicate frequently during normal operations, so they can naturally mobilize the entire army.
Quality. Besides, our combined battalion carries the designation of the 40th Division, so it will not only do no harm to the honor of the 40th Division, but it will be beneficial... So if you think about it carefully, there are only benefits and no harm.
"Commander!" Finally, I added a fire to the dry firewood and said, "If you still don't agree...then I will report to Commander Zhang right away. I think other troops are eager for me to go to them."
Then pick soldiers..."
"Definitely...you've lost your temper after just saying a few words to me!" The regiment leader interrupted me and said: "I'll go to the division commander later to talk to him and see what his opinion is. If nothing else happens...I'll come tomorrow.
Take your pick!”
"Yes!" With Captain Liu's words, I knew that the problem was not big, so I finally let go of my worries.
Unexpectedly, the group leader added another sentence at the end: "But don't be too harsh!"
"Don't worry, captain!" I said, "I might choose a little more at the beginning. If I don't pass the training, I'll kick him back..."
"Are you treating our 40th Division as a garbage dump or something?!"
"How dare you?" I said, "But leader... I want to ask you for someone!"
"Who?"
"That's it..." I then glanced at Camp Commander Luo.
Camp Commander Luo couldn't help but said with his mouth half open: "Me?"
Of course it was Camp Commander Luo... When I was still under Camp Commander Luo, I knew that he had good marksmanship, a calm mind and good command skills. I was short of someone to command the sniper unit.
The only thing that makes me feel a little bad is that Camp Commander Luo used to be my superior, and now he has to become my subordinate. I don’t know if I can adapt to it... But this is a common thing in the army. Back then, Scar and I
Isn't it just from this relationship? After a long time, I will naturally adapt to it.
Seeing this, Captain Liu couldn't help but grit his teeth in hatred for me. He almost squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "You kid, I just told you not to be too harsh!"
