Let’s not talk about the combat exploits of the two squadrons, just a Zuoguan sword is already very attractive to Chen Liang.
Chen Liang's eyes quickly became hot, but he also knew that no matter how he winked, he could not be tempted.
The achievement of annihilating two infantry squadrons has made the military headquarters begin to doubt himself. At this time, what he needs to do is to be patient and stable enough to become a brigade commander before considering other things.
As if he could see through people's hearts, Jiang Hongchun suddenly said: "We still want medicines, the quantity is the same as last time, but this time we can only offer two thousand yuan! If Commander Chen can help us facilitate this contact, I personally
Make the decision and give the Zuoguan Sword to Captain Chen as reward!"
Although the Saukwan sword is not a treasure, because the Chinese army rarely organizes to destroy Japanese troops above the size of a brigade on the battlefield, this results in the Chinese army rarely capturing the Sakan sword. Many division commanders, and even army commanders, will be proud of having a Sakan sword.
Be proud of the sword.
If you can own a Zuoguan Dao, whether you keep it or give it as a gift in the future, it will bring you huge benefits.
Chen Liang was immediately moved.
At the same time, Chen Liang, who was a businessman, also saw the huge benefits that Jiang Hongchun could bring by holding the epaulettes and nameplates in his hands.
After some hesitation, he decided decisively: "If Mr. Jiang believes in me, you can trade with me directly. The trading place is outside the city..."
"Okay!" Jiang Hongchun immediately saw what Chen Liang was thinking.
He plans to keep these epaulettes and nameplates in his own hands. Whether he uses them himself or sells them to his colleagues in the future, they will bring him great benefits.
In fact, Jiang Hongchun had another little idea.
After these two transactions, he and Chen Liang have become old acquaintances, and both of them have information about each other. In this way, Jiang Hongchun does not mind further strengthening the relationship with Chen Liang, allowing him to continue to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in the future, smuggling and reselling the Eighth Route Army
All kinds of urgently needed supplies!
Jiang Hongchun did not expect that his trip would go so smoothly, and that he would be able to get so many medicines that were as good as gold in just a few days.
You must know that for these medicines worth more than 20,000 yuan, the Independent Group only paid 6,000 yuan. As for those nameplates and epaulettes, they are worthless to the Independent Group. Even if they are left in the warehouse, they are just a pile of scrap metal.
At this time, the three main battalions of the independent regiment had already begun training in full swing.
20% were veterans, 40% were prisoners of the Imperial Alliance Army who had been trained for at least half a year, and 40% were carefully selected recruits. Although they only spent seven days running in, whether it was the most basic formation training or fixed target training
, it already looks pretty good.
The reconnaissance platoon was a direct platoon that Wang Ping personally selected, organized and trained. Including platoon leader Chen Hu, the total strength was only thirty-one.
Although there were only a few people, no one in the independent group dared to look down upon these thirty-one people.
Platoon leader Chen Hu was the platoon leader during the Red Army period. He was an old Red Army and veteran cadre that Wang Ping acquired from Chen Zhengxiang.
In addition, Chen Hu also has another identity, his identity before joining the Red Army, that of a hunter.
As an excellent hunter, Chen Hu not only has outstanding marksmanship, but also has a keener sense of smell than ordinary people, and is calmer than others in situations of trouble. Because when they are hunters, they often hide in the grass in order to wait for prey.
Being in the first class means one day and one night!
In addition, Chen Hu has been in the Red Army for several years. He is well-trained, has strong individual combat capabilities, and has experienced many major battles. All these conditions have shown Wang Ping that he is the best candidate to lead the independent regiment's reconnaissance platoon.
Candidate.
The three reconnaissance squads under the reconnaissance platoon are all elites selected by the independent group.
The first reconnaissance squad, which can also be called the sniper squad, is mostly made up of hunters and is composed of sharpshooters selected by Wang Ping from the entire regiment.
The second reconnaissance squad and the third reconnaissance squad, except for the four sharpshooters, four machine gunners, and four grenadiers, the remaining eight people are all veterans with some martial arts skills. In terms of individual soldier quality, they can handle two Japanese soldiers with bare hands.
Still no problem.
Of course, to be selected by Wang Ping into the reconnaissance squad, the four machine gunners and four grenade launchers are not vegetarians. Not to mention that they are always on target, the hit rate of 80 to 90% is definitely no problem.
This was only the strength of the independent regiment's reconnaissance platoon when it was first formed. In Wang Ping's words, the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance platoon in front of him was not even half of what he had imagined.
After he completes the training for the reconnaissance platoon, the snipers must ensure that they can hit the moving target 100% of the time at a distance of 150 meters, and other soldiers, including machine gunners and grenadier operators, must also hit the target 100% of the time at a distance of 100 meters.
Not only that, the rifles, machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, and even mortars and infantry guns currently equipped by the troops must be guaranteed to be used immediately!
As for the equipment, let alone that. Except for the machine gunner and the grenade launcher, everyone else has a standard 38-gun. Then they collect Mauser pistols from the entire regiment and distribute them all to the reconnaissance platoon, ensuring that each person has one.
Each person in the platoon, starting from the platoon leader Chen Hu, had a Mauser pistol.
Such good equipment, coupled with such excellent soldiers, suddenly made the reconnaissance platoon the star unit of the regiment. Everyone was full of confidence in the future of the reconnaissance platoon.
Today is the fifth day after the reconnaissance platoon was formally established. In the first four days, Wang Ping only trained them on one thing: marksmanship.
After thirty-one people used more than three thousand rounds of ammunition, everyone's marksmanship improved a lot.
Another benefit brought by training in marksmanship is that the cooking squads of each company in the independent regiment have gained a lot of prey recently. Because of the extra meat, the troops have been training harder in the past few days.
Looking at the reconnaissance platoon soldiers fighting in three rows in front of him, Wang Ping was very satisfied.
When Wang Ping originally thought that he was here to announce the day's training content to everyone, Wang Ping actually gave them a combat mission directly, the first combat mission since the formation of the reconnaissance platoon!
"Comrades, we are in the south of Laiyuan City. I will give the security and reconnaissance missions in this direction to the security company. As for the gate security and reconnaissance missions in the three directions of Laiyuan City's east, west and north, I plan to give them to you!"
"Although these three city gates are not facing us, I am sure that if the Japs in Laiyuan City want to leave the city, they will definitely use these three gates. Therefore, you must not slack off in any way during the operation!"
Investigation platoon leader Chen Hu stood up at this time and asked: "Captain, if the Japanese army really comes out from the three city gates, what should we do?"
"That's a good question!" Wang Ping immediately responded, his face slowly becoming serious!
"Many of you are veterans, and you should know one thing: battlefields and actual combat can produce a truly elite force. And this reconnaissance mission in front of you is the actual combat training battlefield I chose for you!"
