Chapter 16: Forming an Army

"Let the wind come in? Oh, it's the platoon commander, hello. Report to the military seat, Fu Erchong came to listen to the dispatch of the military seat! Fu Erchong changed the casual and free and easy when he met Ren Laifeng last time, and gave Sun Tongxuan a military salute cleanly.

"Erchong, you met Ren Laifeng last time. This time, I ordered Ren Laifeng to form the Flying Tiger Company, and you should go to the Flying Tiger Company to be Ren Laifeng's deputy. ”

"Junza," Fu Erchong didn't answer yes or yes, and he didn't answer yes or good, which made Sun Tongxuan and Ren Laifeng all stunned, isn't this kid willing? "I can't do anything but fight and kill people, and being a deputy will definitely drag Tiger Company back. In the future, if any brother refuses to accept it, won't it make it difficult for the company commander to appoint? I am still willing to be a platoon commander when I go to the Flying Tiger Company, and I ask the military seat and the company commander to be fulfilled! ”

There is also this person, who left the deputy company commander to do nothing, and had to be his platoon commander. Ren Laifeng tried hard to persuade but still couldn't make Fu Erchong change his mind, and finally after Sun Tongxuan's nod, Fu Erchong finally won the position of the first platoon commander of the Flying Tiger Company.

After all the explanations were completed, Ren Laifeng and Fu Erchong both saluted, left the military headquarters and returned to the army. On the way, Ren Laifeng also asked Fu Erchong, why did you leave the company deputy and have to be a low-level platoon commander? Fu Erchong's answer is also very simple, he is used to being the number one in the original army, and he is not used to being the second shopkeeper. Although the platoon commander is the youngest among the officers, he is the supreme commander in this platoon, and what he says is an order, and no one dares to disobey!

Yes, I met a strong head who would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow! It is not surprising that Fu Erchong has this kind of thought, whether it is in the past, present or future, there are always some people who like the feeling of giving orders by themselves, and Fu Erchong is obviously one of them. In any case, it's always a good thing that the Flying Tiger Company has just been formed, and it has such a super sharpshooter joined.

The two of them returned to the troop station, and Ren Laifeng gathered his men together and announced the order for the establishment of the Flying Tiger Company in public. It turned out that Ren Laifeng was a platoon commander who led a platoon, and later arrested more than 20 deserters, although it was said that they were organized into death squads, but in fact, they had the skeleton of a second platoon. Now that Ren Laifeng has been promoted to company commander, there are two ready-made platoons under this hand.

The smoking gun is the first ** soldier Ren Laifeng knows, and the first time he went to the battlefield, he pushed the smoking gun to let him pick up a life from under the shell, plus the two of them were born and died in Texas together, and the friendship was naturally not as usual. Smoking gun Wei Yanqiang was appointed as a platoon leader and led the original platoon; Fu Erchong served as the commander of the second platoon, leading the second platoon of the Flying Tiger Company, which was composed of more than 20 deserters.

In this way, even if the main skeleton of the Flying Tiger Company is there, the next question is how to develop the big picture, but this is not an overnight thing.

Sun Tongxuan's work efficiency was really high, and he said yes that afternoon, and the next morning, an adjutant from the military department rode a horse and sent the military flag seal of the Flying Tiger Company. With this thing, Ren Laifeng and his Flying Tiger Company are officially opened. Ren Laifeng went to visit the companies, battalions, brigades, brigades, divisions, and commanders at all levels of the old troops in accordance with etiquette, and told the commanders of these old units about the establishment of the Flying Tiger Company. It's called not forgetting the roots.

Commanders at all levels congratulated the establishment of the Flying Tiger Company and Ren Laifeng's promotion, but only his old company commander said sourly: "I started as a soldier at the age of 17, and it took me 11 years to become the commander of this company. You're a good boy, you've been a soldier for less than two months, and you're just over sixteen years old, and you're on the same level as me. You're not going to be promoted to head of the regiment next month, are you? ”

"No, no, no." Ren Laifeng waved his hand again and again. What are you kidding, the regimental commander is watching happily from the side, if it causes a misunderstanding among the regimental adults, then how will he seek cooperation with allies in the future?

Next, from the company commander to the division commander, they were all ready to let the wind go to the unit to select people. The military seat said in the order that the officers and men of the Flying Tiger Company are the elite of the entire group army, and they must choose the best of the best. Unexpectedly, since this visit, Ren Laifeng has never been here. Only Ren Laifeng's original company commander knew that the Flying Tiger Company was practicing every day.

Why didn't Ren Laifeng select elites in the army? It's not that he doesn't want to go to the selection, it's that he doesn't care! No matter how good an individual soldier is, if there is no good teamwork, the combat effectiveness of this army cannot be said to be strong.

The old platoon was just an ordinary infantry platoon, and its strength could only be ranked to the lower middle level even in Han Fuqu's troops, not to mention the second platoon, which was composed of deserters except for the platoon commander. These two platoons are far from the elite flying tiger company that Sun Tongxuan asked for in Ren Laifeng's mind. If you don't train the existing troops at hand, how can you have the kung fu to choose another elite?

Training, high-intensity training! Although Ren Laifeng had never been a commander of a unit before, nor had he studied systematic military training, even if he had pulled out what he had heard and seen and drilled next to another, it was enough to improve the quality of this army by a large margin!

Don't have the equipment? Push-ups, sit-ups, each of which is done in the same way as two hundred; 10 kilometers of weight-bearing run every day; Make a group of grass target organization soldiers practice assassination for two hours a day. Many units of the Northwest Army are equipped with broadswords, and Han Fuqu's subordinates are no exception. Ren Laifeng gave each of his Flying Tiger Company a twenty-nine military-style broadsword.

The munitions warehouse of the Twelfth Army has a lot of large blades, and the Flying Tiger Company has the essentials, and the warehouse door is open and you can take it casually! Ren Laifeng didn't ask for much, just according to the existing head, one per capita.

As for the knife technique, it's even better to say. When Feng Yuxiang founded the broadsword team in the Northwest Army, he had hired a master to develop a set of practical knife techniques, which were famous all over the world by the 29th Army in 1933 to fight against the Japanese invaders on the Great Wall, and some people in Han Fuqu's troops would still play this set of knives.

This time, there was no need to look for Sun Tongxuan, Ren Laifeng went to the division commander Zhanshutang, and the division commander immediately selected a few people from the eighty-first division who could play big knives to teach the Flying Tiger Company.

The knife technique is that set, the main thing is to practice it often in ordinary times and apply it on the battlefield. It only took one day for several instructors to teach all the officers and men of the Flying Tiger Company this set of sword techniques to kill and win the enemy, and the rest was to practice diligently. From this day on, another item was added to the training subjects of the Flying Tiger Regiment: practicing the broadsword for half an hour every morning.

The second half of October 1937 was relatively peaceful, and after the Japanese occupied Dezhou, due to the large number of soldiers, Ryosuke Isoya stopped in Dezhou to rest and replenish, and Han Fuqu's Third Army also got a respite.

By November, the Japanese began to attack south. The Third Army engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese invaders north of the Yellow River, and Han Fuqu himself led a pistol battalion across the Yellow River to the front line to command. At this time, Ren Laifeng and his Flying Tiger were connected to the combat mission.
