After learning the division commander's order, Liu Gen followed the plan he had made and prepared to establish a combat team in the shortest possible time.
Considering that the elite soldiers from each unit could not be easily transferred by Liu Gen, he could only focus on the headquarters secret service group and the division security unit. These two units had many veterans with high combat effectiveness.
Not weak, Liu Gen believed that he would be able to find suitable warriors from both armies to join the fighting team.
Naturally, Liu Gen cannot have too high requirements for soldiers, otherwise there will be too many soldiers who cannot meet the standards just from the cultural level.
Compared with the special agent team formed by the Japanese, the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are undoubtedly much worse, but there is no way, who makes the Eighth Route Army poor? In addition, most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers do not have a high level of education, so even if the combat team is established
In terms of combat team training, it is impossible for Liu Gen to be more comprehensive than the Japanese Special Agents. Perhaps the only thing that is better than the Japanese Special Agents is that they are more strict.
When he went to the headquarters secret service group and the divisional security force to select soldiers, Liu Gen did not encounter any obstruction. On the contrary, these two forces welcomed Liu Gen's arrival. They all wanted to avenge the sacrifice of the deputy chief of staff! This is the only way.
The soldiers of the two armies have met the deputy chief of staff the most. They have the deepest relationship with the deputy chief of staff. After learning that Liu Gen formed a combat team for revenge, the soldiers enthusiastically signed up.
Unfortunately, because Liu Gen had certain requirements, not many soldiers were favored by Liu Gen. By the time he finished selecting from the two armies, there were only fourteen qualified soldiers in total, and with Liu Gen, the number was fifteen.
There are not enough people for two squads. But even so, Liu Gen is already very satisfied. He is very clear about the situation of the Eighth Route Army. Combat teams are not suitable for having too many members. If there are too many, the 129th Division cannot support them at all.
After Liu Gen reported the soldiers he selected to the division commander, he received the materials and training venues that the division headquarters could provide.
Since the division headquarters does not know much about independent combat teams, in most cases, the division headquarters will consider Liu Gen's opinions. Among the entire 129th Division, Liu Gen has fought against the Japanese Special Agent Team the most times, and he also knows the Japanese Special Agent Team best.
What's more, Liu Gen's ability in the past made the division and headquarters feel reassured about Liu Gen. They believed that there would be no problems in leaving the formation of the combat team to Liu Gen.
In this regard, Liu Gen is also very clear about the thoughts of the division and headquarters. What can he do? He can only try his best to overcome the difficulties in establishing a combat team, successfully establish the combat team in the shortest time, and then complete the task of becoming deputy commander.
The combat mission of Chief of General Staff Revenge.
After bringing a combat team of fourteen people to the mountains in the northeast corner of the division, Liu Gen began to train these soldiers. In Liu Gen's imagination, this combat team would take two or three months at the minimum.
In order to form a certain combat effectiveness. To truly cultivate this combat team, not only do the soldiers need to undergo a lot of heavy training, but they also need to experience enough battles. Only in this way can we ensure that the combat team is strong enough.
of combat effectiveness.
There are currently fourteen people in the combat team, but in fact, in Liu Gen's opinion, by the end of the training, there should be less than ten soldiers left in the combat team. In addition, there are likely to be sacrifices in the battle. I am afraid that in the end, the entire combat team will be
There are only four or five soldiers. Training a special operations team is so cruel. This is why Liu Gen has such high requirements when selecting soldiers. He does not want the soldiers to fall halfway when they join the combat team.
No matter what kind of battle it is, there are extremely high requirements for the physical fitness of the soldiers. Liu Gen also deliberately puts the physical training of the soldiers first. Only a good enough body can ensure that these team members have enough strength.
Strong combat effectiveness.
Physical training is not simple. Liu Gen specially made a lot of sandbags for the soldiers to carry weights for training. In addition, the soldiers have to carry their own clothes and bedding on their backs every day, which results in the soldiers carrying more than ten kilograms of weight.
This kind of training method put these soldiers under great pressure at the beginning. These soldiers were selected by Liu Gen because they had good physical fitness, otherwise the soldiers would definitely not be able to persist.
Even if these soldiers are in good physical condition, during training, there are still cases where some soldiers faint from being too tired.
After a month of physical training, the members of the combat team have improved a lot. The number of members has increased from fourteen to twelve. Two soldiers have physical problems and cannot continue to withstand this.
After going through various levels of training, they had no choice but to quit. It was also at this time that the soldiers realized that they had not really become members of the combat team. They were still under Liu Gen's observation. Only through various trainings could they officially become members of the combat team.
A member of the combat team.
In the second month, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Liu Gen specially recruited some veterans with rich combat experience to serve as instructors. He took time to return to the artillery school and arsenal to solve some problems that needed to be solved personally. Artillery
The school was not bad. With Wang Chao and others there, he didn't have to worry about too many problems with the artillery school's training.
However, even with Wang Chao and others present, when Liu Gen returned to the artillery school, he still learned that during the previous transfer, the artillery school had suffered many casualties, and more than a dozen trainees had unfortunately died during the transfer.
When Liu Gen returned to the artillery school, he could clearly notice that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the artillery school. The students were somewhat unfocused during training. After Liu Gen learned about these things, he personally gathered the students to encourage them.
After some time, their situation improved.
But even so, it will take some time for the students in the artillery school to fully recover.
After settling the matters in the artillery school, Liu Gen returned to the arsenal. Members of the artillery department of the arsenal had been waiting for his return, hoping that he could solve some problems that occurred in artillery manufacturing and production. After Liu Gen returned to explain to them,
Only then did the workers in the artillery department really understand. With Liu Gen's help, they made the artillery production and manufacturing process more perfect, and the yield rate was improved.
After returning to the arsenal, Liu Gen also knew that the situation in the arsenal was a bit embarrassing, and the stored steel was somewhat insufficient. During this period, the Eighth Route Army units did not move much, which resulted in a lot less steel being sent to the arsenal by each unit. Without steel.
, most of the weapons and artillery manufacturing work in the arsenal will be greatly affected, and the production of these weapons and equipment requires a large amount of steel.
According to the current steel reserves of the arsenal, if the arsenal is operating at full capacity, it will not be able to last for a month. In other words, solving the problem of insufficient steel reserves in the arsenal has become a top priority. However, due to the transfer of various units of the Eighth Route Army
They were all somewhat damaged. In addition, the Japanese were strictly guarding the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base areas, which made it extremely difficult for the Eighth Route Army troops to attack the Japanese railway transportation lines.
Even if some troops successfully destroyed the Japs' railway, they would not be able to transport it away in a short time because the Japs' troops were too fast to support them.
For this reason, Liu Gen didn't have any good solutions. He wanted to get enough steel for the arsenal. It depended on the ideas of the bosses at the headquarters. If the bosses wanted to fight, then the Eighth Route Army units would take the initiative to break the attack.
The Japanese Railway has obtained enough steel for the arsenal. But if the bosses choose not to fight, then the arsenal will naturally have to tighten its belt, produce less weapons and equipment, and reduce the consumption of steel as much as possible.
Liu Gen didn't know what the bosses at the headquarters would think, and he wasn't going to study it. For Liu Gen, he had too many things to do. For such a combat mission, he only needed to follow the orders of his division commander.
That's it. If Liu Gen needs to do everything, then he will be too tired. With his still young and immature shoulders, he cannot carry too many things.
By the time Liu Gen finished dealing with the artillery school and arsenal, half a month had passed. During this half-month, the soldiers in the combat team had improved a lot, especially in their marksmanship.
After half a month of training, the marksmanship of the soldiers has improved to some extent, especially the more talented soldiers. For the training of these dozen soldiers, a lot of bullets have been used.
If you want the soldiers to improve their marksmanship in the shortest possible time, you can only let them fire a large number of live ammunition. Only in this way can you help the soldiers quickly improve their marksmanship.
After Liu Gen returned to the training camp of the combat team, he immediately gathered the soldiers together. Next, he needed to check the training results of the soldiers. Those whose performance was too poor could only leave the combat team. Soldiers with poor performance could only leave the combat team.
It's just that compared to other warriors, warriors with poor performance are definitely much better than ordinary warriors. But unfortunately, the requirements of the combat team are very high. It's enough to be stronger than ordinary warriors, but they need to be stronger.
"Comrades, I know that your training has been very hard in the past half month, but the moment you were selected, you should have thought of how hard the training will be. I am very happy to see that everyone is persevering.
Satisfied, but some of you are not enough to officially become members of the combat team."
"The tasks that the combat team needs to perform are very dangerous. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, I will be very strict with you! Next, I will check your training results in the past half month. The best ones will stay.
I almost left." Liu Gen faced the soldiers in front of him with an extremely serious expression.
The soldiers looked solemn. They understood what Liu Gen meant. During this period, they had undergone heavy training. They did not know how hard it was every day, and they almost went crazy to train 24 hours a day. What were they doing? Isn’t it just to become a member of the combat team?
Soldiers? Now, they need to pass Liu Gen's test. If they pass, they can stay. If they fail, they need to leave. Every soldier has enough confidence in themselves. They believe that they can stay and become a part of the combat team.
member.
"I know your physical fitness very well. You can persist until now and there is no problem with your physical fitness."
"There are only two aspects that need to test you, close combat and marksmanship. As long as you are outstanding in any aspect, you can stay and the nine best people will be selected according to their performance rankings." Liu Gen said solemnly.
There were twelve warriors present, which meant that three warriors had to be eliminated. The warriors looked at each other, their eyes filled with solemnity. No one wanted to be eliminated.
After Liu Gen divided the fighters into six groups, he directly let them compete. If he successfully knocked down the opponent, he could prove his fighting ability. After training, the physical fitness and fighting skills of these fighters were almost the same.
Warriors who can win in battle are what Liu Gen needs. Liu Gen knows very well that the requirements of the combat team are very high. If he does not have strong enough close combat ability and good enough marksmanship, then he is not suitable to enter the battle.
In the squad.
Five minutes later, the outcome was decided. Liu Gen looked at the six victorious fighters and could see a hint of joy in their eyes. The fighters were not fools. They all understood that according to the contest method proposed by Liu Gen,
The winner will naturally have a greater chance of being selected into the combat team.
"After a twenty-minute rest, conduct live-fire shooting, and the three with the best shooting results will be selected." Liu Gen saw that the soldiers were a little tired and ordered.
The soldiers quickly sat down and took a rest. They did not talk to each other. At this juncture, no one had the idea of talking.
Twenty minutes later, without Liu Gen opening his mouth, the soldiers stood up quickly. Their expressions were serious, as if they were facing a particularly cruel battle. The soldiers all wanted to join the fighting team. In their opinion, joining the fighting team was the best thing to do.
An honor, but also a good opportunity to kill the Japanese and avenge the Deputy Chief of Staff.
"Calm down, don't be nervous, give full play to your strength!" Liu Gen said.
The soldiers nodded, each picked up a pistol, and got ready to shoot. The weapons and equipment of the combat team were incomparable to those of the Japs. The submachine guns seized from the Japs were good, but they were not suitable for Liu Gen and others.
To use it, a small amount of equipment is fine, but if there are too many, ammunition supply will be a problem.
Compared with submachine guns, shell guns are a good choice. A shell gun that can fire continuously has good firepower in a raid and can catch the Japanese by surprise.
Now, the soldiers who are preparing to shoot all have a shell gun in their hands. In the past half month, they have been contacting the shell gun to ensure that the shell gun shooting is accurate enough. This live ammunition shooting is to check their training results.
Following Liu Gen's command, gunshots rang out loudly, and the soldiers pulled the triggers in their hands and shot out all the bullets as quickly as possible.
