Li Yunlong learned the lesson wisely and did not promise to complete the task. Instead, he first asked what the task was.
Last time, because I expressed my position too quickly, I was forced to lead a large-scale battle.
"Why are you so inactive?" The boss said, "It's not a big task. It's just to select a few special forces from your Sword Squadron and train a special force for the headquarters."
"Headquarters wants to set up special forces?" Li Yunlong thought it was something, and said, "This is a good thing. I, Li Yunlong, fully support it."
"That's right!" the boss said, "We haven't decided on a name for this special force yet. Your sword is very good. How about you think of one for me?"
The boss is also very satisfied with the performance of the Sharp Sword Special Forces.
Camouflage, infiltration, driving, shooting... every special team member is an all-round master.
Sneaking into Taiyuan, he killed the pilots of the Japanese 9th Brigade and snatched back 6 tanks. During the evacuation, he hunted rabbits and destroyed more than a dozen Japanese planes. No one would believe this record.
This battle in particular was an eye-opener for the boss.
Although Li Yunlong's special forces did not directly participate in the battle, they acted as observers for each artillery group, allowing the artillery shells to accurately fall on the enemy's heads.
According to incomplete statistics, the artillery shells directed by Li Yunlong's special forces in this battle killed and injured at least several thousand Japanese.
For this reason, the boss has to set up a special force.
Of course, the special forces are not only used as artillery observers. They can also leave tasks such as beheading, reconnaissance and hostage rescue to the special forces.
Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "Chief, please spare me. I just picked it up blindly. How could I name the special forces?"
The boss said without any doubt: "This is the task I gave you, you are not allowed to refuse."
"Yes!" Li Yunlong said, "But chief, we have to agree on one thing in advance. My people are only responsible for training. Don't transfer my people too."
Every member of the Sword Squadron is a treasure, and they will not be replaced even if they are given to the battalion commander. If a few of them are robbed by the boss, it will be a big loss.
"Okay, I promise you," the boss said, "I won't rob your soldiers, but you must also agree to one condition!"
Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "Don't mention one condition, even if I agree to both conditions."
The boss said: "After the selection, I will send all the team members to your place for training, and you will give them a set of equipment like the Sword Special Forces."
Although the Eighth Route Army is now richer as a whole, in terms of equipment, it still depends on Li Yunlong's new regiment.
"No problem!" Li Yunlong said, "I'll take care of it!"
After hanging up the phone, the boss laughed and said: "Bang Xing!"
The division commander said: "I have ordered the selection of the most elite soldiers from each unit of the 129th Division to participate in training at the division headquarters. A group of suitable seedlings can be selected in up to 10 days."
"As for the establishment of special forces, there is no need to rush," the boss said, "We have to do it step by step."
After a pause, the boss said again: "Chief of Staff, you have been studying the "Special Forces Special Training Operation Manual" these days. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Li Yunlong is an expert in this area. I heard that he even trains with the special forces."
The chief of staff said: "I have only one suggestion. We should not just select the 129th Division, but select the most elite soldiers from all military districts of the entire army to learn special operations in the new regiment. After these soldiers learn, they can return to where they are.
The military regions will establish special forces so that they can fully blossom."
"Although it is difficult to form a special force like the Sword Squadron, there are always more solutions than difficulties. We must have the courage to overcome difficulties."
The chief of staff thought more. Since special forces play a big role in modern warfare, why not promote them throughout the army?
Anyway, nothing is lost if you fail.
"I think this is a good idea!" the boss said happily, "Then let's do this, select the most elite soldiers from the entire army to participate in the training."
…
Yangcun.
Regiment Headquarters.
Li Yunlong put the phone back on the phone.
After thinking about it, he called Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa.
Tell them three, the 2 mountain cannons given to them have been replaced by 2 howitzers, and the shells have a base value of 3.
After hearing the news, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa were all very grateful. Some wanted to treat Li Yunlong to a drink, and some wanted to recognize him as their brother.
This time, 12 howitzers were left behind. The new regiment currently has enough howitzers, so it doesn't matter if we give them a few.
At present, the new regiment already has 48 guns, plus 6 howitzers, the total is 54 guns, which is really rich.
Li Yunlong turned to Zhao Gang and said: "The head of the headquarters wants to allocate 1,600 militiamen to our regiment. Now the county brigade has more than 1,400 militiamen. I think we can transfer 1,100 militiamen from the county brigade to expand the fourth battalion."
Li Yunlong's main infantry battalion adopts the 4-4 system. An infantry battalion has 4 infantry companies and 1 artillery company.
Each squad has 15 men, one battalion of infantry and an artillery company, with a total strength of about 1,100 men.
Zhao Gang said: "If you expand the fourth battalion, you may have to borrow fine weapons and equipment from Brother Chen. In addition, who will be the battalion commander and instructor of the fourth battalion?"
Li Yunlong pondered: "The most suitable candidates for the fourth battalion commander and instructor are Chen Dugu and Liang Gang. After all, these soldiers were led by them. However, if they are transferred, the county brigade will have to continue to be led by others..."
"Isn't this simple?" Zhao Gang said: "You let Chen Dagu lead the fourth battalion, and Liang Gang stayed as the captain of the county brigade. As for the instructor, you can ask the head of the headquarters for it. Doesn't he want to dial 1600 for our new regiment?
Militia? It can't be that there are only militia without company and platoon-level military cadres."
Li Yunlong said: "That's true. Look at me, when I called the chief just now, he asked me to make my own request. I actually forgot to mention this. When the arsenal the day after tomorrow closed the infantry artillery and grenade production lines, the chief was in high spirits.
When the time comes, I’ll mention it again, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
"By the way, Brother Chen is going to airdrop materials to repair the airport tomorrow. You have to find the craftsmen in advance."
"Yeah." Zhao Gang said.
…
Noon the next day.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang took the airport maintenance personnel to the place where they usually receive goods.
Chen Feng has been waiting here for a long time.
The two parties met and said hello.
Chen Feng said: "It is best to pave the runway with a layer of gravel, and use high-grade cement on top, mixed with fly ash and steel fiber, so that the runway will not crack in the long term."
Li Yunlong said: "Brother Zhao and I are both laymen. We all listen to you. We will do whatever you say."
Chen Feng looked at the sky. What he feared most when building the airport was that Japanese planes suddenly flew overhead.
Once the Japanese fly over, they will definitely be discovered. Although the probability is very low, we have to guard against it.
Chen Feng said: "It is recommended that the airport be repaired at night and covered with artificial turf during the day to prevent it from being discovered by Japanese aircraft."
Zhao Gang looked thoughtful: "It's a little slow to repair at night, but it's better to be safe."
Although the pilots of the Japanese First Army were killed, the North China Front Army still had Japanese planes and pilots who would come to the base area for reconnaissance when nothing happened. The Eighth Route Army had nothing to do with the Japanese reconnaissance planes.
There was a buzzing sound in the sky.
Yan Shuangying beside Chen Feng took out his flare gun and fired a red flare into the sky.
Not long after, dozens of transport planes flew overhead, and airdrops with parachutes slowly fell.
Chen Feng said: "100 tons of materials should be enough to build the airport."
Li Yunlong said: "Then I order the soldiers to collect and hide all the materials first, and then come back to do it at night."
After all the airdropped materials fell, there was another roaring sound in the sky.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang raised the telescopes on their chests to look, and their faces suddenly showed joy.
I saw more than twenty Dragonfly aircraft flying over here, each carrying a 105 howitzer.
Although the artillery shells will not be transported until the airport is built, the 105 howitzer can be transported by helicopter in advance.
A few minutes later, the Dragonfly helicopter lowered the howitzer steadily, and then quickly flew away with a unique buzzing sound.
Li Yunlong waved his hand, and Lao Wang from the transport team led the team of mules and horses towards the 105 howitzer.
Looking at the 24 105 howitzers, the smile on Li Yunlong's face was like an old farmer looking at a fruitful harvest.
Looking away from the howitzer, Li Yunlong said: "Brother Chen, there is one more thing. Brother, I am going to expand an infantry battalion. With your beautiful weapons and equipment, I will lend weapons and ammunition for 1,100 more people."
"Okay!" Chen Feng nodded: "This batch of equipment will be delivered to you in two days. Just be ready to receive it then. This batch of equipment will be calculated based on the number of people killed. For example, if 1,100 people have weapons and equipment, 1,100 Japanese troops will be killed.
"
"No problem!" Li Yunlong answered simply, "I also lend 100 sets of the special forces equipment on credit."
Chen Feng nodded and said, "Okay, is your Sharp Sword Squadron going to expand?"
"It's not my Sword Squadron, it's our headquarters. We want to set up a special force directly under the command. Shouldn't this task be handed over to your brother and me?"
Li Yunlong said: "The chief also asked me to name the special forces directly under the headquarters. I am worried. Brother, you are well-informed. Can you help me come up with some famous names?"
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "This person has the shadow of a famous tree, and so does the army. It is necessary to have a resounding name."
Does the Eighth Route Army headquarters also want to engage in special forces?
This is somewhat beyond Chen Feng's expectation. The Chief of Staff and the others are quite fashionable.
Chen Feng said more than a dozen names in one breath.
"A dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit, and a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat. I think the name War Wolf is good." As he said this, Li Yunlong quickly took out a pencil and a notebook and wrote down all the names mentioned by Chen Feng.
After Li Yunlong remembered it, Chen Feng continued: "I recently received top-secret news that the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, was dismissed from the Japanese base camp. Someone will take over in three months at most.
Yoshio Tsuka will return to Japan. If these two brothers want to remove Yoshio Shinozuka’s head, they must hurry up.”
"Is there such a thing?" Li Yunlong was surprised, "The transportation team leader Yoshio Shinozuka is leaving?"
