As the name suggests, special forces are troops that perform special tasks. In fact, this type of troops has existed since ancient times.
Now the Chinese Communist Party also has special forces of this type, such as the special agent battalions, special agent companies, pistol teams, etc. of each unit, which are all formed to perform special tasks.
The officers and soldiers in these troops are selected elite soldiers, equipped with the most sophisticated weapons, and are often used as trump cards on the battlefield, usually around the commander.
The little devil also summed up experience on the battlefield. Whenever he heard the sound of dense shell pistols or some fancy machine guns, he could judge the location of the squadron headquarters based on this, and then carry out assault or artillery bombardment.
Although there are units such as special agent companies in the Chinese ** team, they are only a little stronger than conventional troops, and are far from being as powerful as real special forces and capable of all-weather and all-region operations.
Yang Ling has always hoped to form a true special force, and the Flame Special Forces is the prototype of this special force.
But it's easier said than done. A real special forces must select the most elite soldiers and undergo rigorous training.
Now that most of China has fallen, Yang Ling and the others have been fighting. Ordinary officers and soldiers generally only have about ten rounds of bullets to use. Not to mention nutritious food, it is good to be full.
Establishing a special force requires investing a lot of manpower and material resources, and the massive amounts of bullets consumed during training alone are beyond what Yang Ling can afford.
Although Yang Ling and the others formed the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade, they are still far from being a true special forces. Moreover, in the Battle of Gaoyou, the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade was seriously injured and has not recovered yet.
Although there are many difficulties, it still does not stop Yang Ling's persistent belief in forming a special force. Even if he saves money, he will form it because he knows that a real special force is sometimes more powerful than a division.
.
Moreover, it won't be long before the Wang Jingwei traitor group will establish a puppet government in Nanjing. If they can kill the head organization of the Wang Jingwei group, it will be a great encouragement to the war of resistance.
Now that all trainings are on track, the Japanese have retreated to Gaoyou for the winter, so Yang Ling has also put on the agenda the task of replenishing the severely weakened Lieyan Special Forces Brigade with new recruits.
In order to recruit the most elite soldiers this time, Yang Ling directly expanded the scope of recruitment to the entire area controlled by the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
Not only is it limited to the agencies and units under the Northern Jiangsu Corps, but also the officers and soldiers of the local armed forces who are interested in joining the Fiery Special Warfare Brigade can choose to sign up.
Of course, this is just an audition. If you want to join the Flame Special Warfare Team, you can't just get in.
First, you must go through a series of assessments, and once admitted, not only will there be a half-year observation period, but a thorough background check will also be conducted to prevent enemy agents from mixing in.
Although the Lieyan Special Forces Group rarely took action, they fought against the Japanese's Skeleton Special Forces in the Battle of Gaoyou. Although both sides suffered losses in the end, their reputation was not dishonored.
And now the establishment of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces, the Mainland Advancement Team, and the Masuko Advance Team are undoubtedly a challenge to Yang Ling and the others, so they must also speed up the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the special operations forces.
The Fiery Special Warfare Brigade has a large amount of training and performs very dangerous tasks, so their treatment is also the best. Anyone who passes the assessment of the Fiery Special Warfare Brigade will be directly awarded the rank of second lieutenant.
In the regular army, the rank of second lieutenant is enough to serve as a platoon leader, which means that in the Flame Special Warfare Group, even the most ordinary officers and soldiers are at the platoon leader level, and once they are deployed, their ranks will rise even more.
Wang Dongming was originally a member of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, but now in this round of organizational adjustments, he was directly promoted to the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion. This is a living example.
After Yang Ling posted a notice to recruit new members of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, the entire officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps became excited.
Anyone who is more confident in their skills and strength is eager to try and join the strongest team in the Northern Jiangsu team. In their eyes, this is an honor.
"In just two days, more than 3,000 brothers in our army have signed up to join the Flame Special Warfare Brigade. It seems that the enthusiasm of the brothers is very high."
Combat Staff Officer Lei Xiong was filled with emotion as he took the list he got back from the registration office. He didn't expect that so many brothers wanted to join the Fiery Special Warfare Brigade.
"That's for sure. The treatment of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade is good. In addition to training on weekdays, there is no need to patrol or stand guard. It is normal for the brothers to be envious." Intelligence staff Liu Sheng was not very surprised by this result.
.
"With more people signing up, our range of choices will be wider, which is a good thing." Yang Ling was also very happy about this.
Nowadays, Chinese officers and soldiers are generally malnourished and have poor physical fitness, so the selection of special operations team members is completely based on short ones and tall ones.
There are now a lot of people signing up, and Yang Ling and the others are able to select players from a wider range, which is of great benefit to improving the quality of the players.
"In addition to the large number of applicants in our army, more than 500 people have signed up for the registration office set up in the town, and Xiao Yan, the leader of the second militia detachment, also signed up. Isn't this just joining in the fun?" Lei Xiong
Pointing at Xiao Yan's name on the list, he joked.
Yang Ling was quite surprised to hear that even the captain of the militia detachment came to take part in the assessment.
After they arrived at the boundary, they organized all the nearby armed forces into militias. They were responsible for maintaining public security in their respective areas, and Xiao Yan was one of the commanders of the militia.
"We have not set any restrictions. If people want to sign up, that is their freedom."
Although Yang Ling was a little surprised, thinking that so many people from inside and outside had signed up this time, he was full of expectations for the recruitment of special forces members. Maybe he could really recruit a few good candidates.
"Sir Yang, with so many people signing up this time, should our assessment standards be raised a little higher?"
Lei Xiong was worried that if there were too many people signing up, if the assessment standards were too low and too many people passed, it would end up causing trouble.
After all, the special operations brigade recruits elite soldiers. To select the strongest people, the stronger the better.
After Yang Ling heard Lei Xiong's suggestion, he thought for a few seconds, waved his hands and said: "There is no need to raise the standards for the time being. If there are too many people who pass, we will add additional assessment items."
"Yes!" Lei Xiong felt that Yang Ling was right, so he stopped worrying about this matter.
Yang Ling reminded: "This time we are recruiting new recruits for the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade. We need to recruit truly superior elites, so you must strictly control the assessment. According to the standards I set, it is fair and just, and you must put an end to simpering.
Things happen through the back door.”
"Don't worry, Chief Yang, we are absolutely guaranteed to recruit the strongest brothers." Lei Xiong and other staff officers responsible for supervising the assessment also assured Yang Ling with their chests beating.
