As the leader of the independent regiment, Wang Ping did not stay at the independent regiment headquarters during this period, but stayed at the reconnaissance platoon station every day.
The performance of the reconnaissance platoon some time ago was so bad that it did not even realize the 20% combat effectiveness of the special forces in Wang Ping's mind. As soon as the training began, Wang Ping planned to train them well and let them know what special forces are and what special operations are.
.
"Comrades, you have been training with me for more than half a month, and the reconnaissance platoon has been reduced from more than fifty people to thirty people now. I have decided to assign a task to everyone to test everyone's training results!" Wang
Ping said as he looked at the thirty soldiers who were becoming more and more powerful in front of him.
"Captain, is this a combat mission? We are training from morning to night every day, and we are almost driven crazy!" Platoon leader Chen Hu asked with eyes shining.
Although in Wang Ping's opinion, these people only have a little bit of special forces, they are still far from real special forces.
However, after all, they are the elites of each army. And for the elites, what they desire most is to go to the battlefield and gain military exploits.
"There is a combat mission! We are all veterans. We should all know that the battlefield is the best place for military training, and it is also the most direct way for everyone to integrate training into combat!" Wang Ping did not hesitate, pointing directly to the map and started giving orders.
.
"Chen Hu, look at the map. The other side of the mountain is not Laiyuan City. The Japanese there have basically never been attacked. Therefore, their control over the place is much stronger than around the base area. There are strongholds and gun towers everywhere."
"There is a Japanese artillery tower here, stationed with an infantry squad of Japanese troops and a platoon of Imperial Army troops. I asked the reconnaissance platoon to cross the mountains and conduct a 30-kilometer raid to seize this stronghold, and then bring the necessary seizures and pass them on
There are two enemy checkpoints, and you can take the road back to the base!"
"I still have a few requests. We hope that no gunfire will be fired during the raid on the stronghold. When we set off, I will only give each person five pistol bullets. As for dry food, there is no dry food at all. It is all up to everyone to solve it on their own. In the end, the whole operation I
I will follow you all, but I will only watch and say nothing. Your platoon leader will direct all battles!"
The reconnaissance platoon and Wang Ping set off at noon. In Chen Hu's words, the thirty kilometers were covered in one afternoon. Then rest for a few hours and wait until the second half of the night, when the Japanese are most relaxed, to launch an attack.
Captured the turret in one fell swoop.
After hearing this plan, Wang Ping just smiled and didn't say a word.
At the beginning, because the reconnaissance platoon was familiar with the surrounding terrain, they often practiced here. In less than two hours, everyone covered nearly eight kilometers of mountain roads.
However, as everyone goes deeper and deeper into the mountains, various problems arise.
"Platoon leader, there is a steep slope ahead. It is full of rocks and more than 20 meters high. It is impossible for people to climb up it. We must take a detour!" A scout who was opening the road in front rushed over and reported panting.
"How far is the detour?" Chen Hu asked calmly without realizing the seriousness of the problem.
"At least ten kilometers!" the scout replied.
Chen Hu frowned immediately, then shook his head and refused: "No, it's too far, and we can't make it in time!"
"Let's go, go to the steep slope and see if there is any way to climb up!"
A steep slope nearly twenty meters high, at a 90-degree angle, stood in front of everyone.
Because the steep slope is entirely made of stones, there is no tree on it that can be used to draw strength. More importantly, due to long-term weathering, the layer of stones on the surface of the steep slope is extremely loose and almost falls off at a touch.
The best soldier in the reconnaissance platoon who was good at climbing could only shake his head helplessly when facing this steep slope.
"Platoon commander, there is no place to draw strength from, it is impossible to climb up!"
"Then we'll take a detour, but we have to speed up and find a way to get back the extra time." Chen Hu made an immediate decision.
Mountain roads are no better than highways. Walking one kilometer of mountain roads consumes more physical energy than walking two kilometers of roads.
After walking for almost five kilometers, everyone’s physical strength finally became too much.
Although it is winter and very cold, many soldiers have big beads of sweat flowing down their faces and are panting.
In addition, after not eating for several hours, everyone was very hungry!
"Everyone stop, let's rest for half an hour!" Chen Hu ordered decisively as he did not want to see non-combat attrition of his subordinates without even seeing the Japanese.
"When the snipers come back from the surrounding areas to get some prey, it's best not to use their guns, but the crossbows assigned to you by the regiment leader can be used! Others rest and make a fire!"
Crossbows, although they sound nice, are actually smaller versions of bows and arrows.
Since there were no specialized sniper rifles or silencers, Wang Ping thought of crossbows in order to quietly destroy enemies in some battles.
But the independent regiment did not have its own arsenal, so even if it knew the principles of crossbows, it would not be able to make them.
Fortunately, there are many snipers in the reconnaissance platoon who are hunters. Their ancestors used bows and arrows for hunting, and they can make bows and arrows.
Coupled with Wang Ping's ideas for making compound bows, it took nearly ten days to make several bows that were nearly doubled in size but no less powerful. All were equipped with reconnaissance platoon snipers.
After all, he was a hunter, and this place was deep in the mountains, with few people coming and going. It didn't take long for a few snipers to bring back six plump pheasants.
Half an hour later, the reconnaissance platoon set off on time.
But no matter how hard they hurried, they never got out of the mountains before dark.
"Platoon leader, should you spend the night here tonight or continue on your way!" the soldier who opened the way came over and asked as soon as it got dark.
"It is absolutely not possible to walk at night. When we were driving in the afternoon, we already saw hungry wolves following us. It is winter now, and there is little food in the mountains. These hungry wolves must regard us as prey. If we continue to walk in the dark, if we are
If you are targeted by a pack of wolves on the march, something will definitely happen." Chen Hu said with a frown.
"Didn't we kill a wolf on the march? We took care of it and we're going to eat roasted wolf meat tonight. The first and second classes set up traps around us to prevent enemies and wild beasts from sneaking up on us. The third class made a fire and set up a camp, and by the way, we set up a camp with the wolf.
The meat is processed!”
The first half of the night was uneventful for the reconnaissance platoon, without any surprises.
As soon as midnight arrived, something unexpected happened.
"Woooo..." A wolf howl suddenly sounded around the camp.
Thirty people quickly got up, holding weapons in hand and staring around.
In the dark forest all around, a large number of blue-lighting eyes suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking particularly cautious.
Several snipers who had been hunters exclaimed: "Wolves, wolves. Platoon leader, we are surrounded by wolves!"
"The wolves must have wanted to get close to us, and they encountered the trap we set and fell into it," the squad leader said in a deep voice.
The first squad leader is not only a sniper, but also a veritable veteran, an old Red Army soldier.
If not ten Japs died in his hands, seven or eight would definitely be indispensable.
For such a veteran who was not nervous when facing the Japanese, when faced with so many wolves at once, Chen Hu could hear a hint of nervousness in his tone, which showed how powerful and lethal the wolves were.
