Chapter 177: The Special Operations Brigade was officially established, and the battle situation in various places changed
Three days later, Yang Jing successfully recruited more than 40 qualified recruits in Hefei City, plus more than 70 elite veterans from the remaining battalions and companies.
As a result, the number of soldiers in the special operations brigade finally reached the initial estimate of 122 people, including the chief and deputy captains.
It is divided into three squadrons, each squadron has four squads, and a squad of 10 people.
7 assaulters, all armed with 100-shot Thomson submachine guns; two machine gunners, equipped with a bipod, a 75-round drum MG42 general-purpose machine gun; and 1 sniper, armed with a Mauser 98K sniper rifle with a 4x optical scope.
The reason why Yang Jing used the Thomson submachine gun as the standard equipment of the special operations brigade was, of course, because of its continuous firepower.
Special operations units are not conventional units, and naturally it is impossible for them to charge into battle from the front or engage in positional warfare like ordinary troops.
Their mission is mainly based on surprise attacks, so the continuity of firepower at critical moments is the top priority at the moment.
In addition, there are many secondary weapons necessary for special forces, such as pistols and military daggers.
Thus, the Tiger Regiment, and even the first special forces in China, were born.
Of course, it is impossible for Yang Jing to train special forces like later generations, firstly, the cycle is too long, and secondly, the cost required is too much.
Therefore, only such a low-speed version of the special operations brigade can be formed.
Such a special operations force may be far from being comparable with the special forces of later generations, but it can definitely crush any force of the same size in the world.
After the establishment of the special operations brigade, Long Yun was promoted to vice captain by exception.
Yang Jing personally served as the captain and chief instructor, and was specially responsible for the training of the special operations team, as well as teaching them, imparting knowledge and concepts of special operations, as well as various physical training, techniques and tactics, and valuable experience.
In the past three days, in addition to recruiting more than 40 special combat personnel, the Tiger Ben Regiment also recruited more than 4,000 ordinary soldiers.
Coupled with the nearly 2,000 veterans who survived the Battle of Nanjing, the strength of the Tiger Ben Regiment has exceeded 7,000 people.
While Yang Jing was starting the training of the special operations brigade, he also asked Chief of Staff Ma Haifeng and Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Dali to begin to distribute and reorganize the recruits.
The Battle of Xuzhou will not be long before it happens, and Yang Jing must improve the strength of the Tiger Ben Regiment as soon as possible, so that when the battle situation requires it, he will swear to go out and do his part.
Because of the special care of the chairman, the Tiger Regiment was equipped with weapons and equipment and military salaries in accordance with the standards of the German armor division.
The battalions were almost all equipped with brand-new medium and formal rifles.
Czech light machine guns, Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, as well as various mortars, infantry guns, field artillery, are also a lot.
In addition, in order to improve the anti-aircraft and anti-tank capabilities of the Tiger Regiment, Yang Jing specially purchased a batch of German-style 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns and Soviet-made 12.7mm DShk anti-aircraft machine guns from the system mall.
…………
With the completion of the expansion of the Tiger Regiment, its strength has exceeded 7,000 people, and it is impossible to be stationed in Hefei City, so the Tiger Regiments set up a military camp in the east of the city as a training place for soldiers.
On this day, Yang Jing, as the head of the regiment, came to the military camp outside the city.
I plan to give a speech to the recruits so that they can get to know themselves as the regiment commander.
Otherwise, as the commander of a regiment, the soldiers below don't know him, so he will be too incompetent as the commander of the regiment.
When Yang Jing arrived, all the veterans and recruits of the Tiger Regiment had already lined up in a neat queue on the school yard according to the number of the unit to which they belonged.
Just waited for Yang Jing and other chiefs to come over and speak.
Yang Jing came on horseback surrounded by Ma Haifeng, Ma Tong and others.
Coming to the center of the queue and stopped, Le Ma turned around, and his eyes scanned the circle of soldiers who were waiting in line.
Long Yun and the Special Operations Brigade were also impressively listed, their brand-new weapons and equipment, and neat and brand-new camouflage uniforms, giving people a refreshing, elite division feeling.
At this time, Niu Dazhuang was ordered to bring a high-power tweeter and handed it to Yang Jing, the group seat.
Speaking to thousands of people, if you don't borrow some external force, no matter how loud Yang Jing's voice is, I'm afraid the effect will not be much better.
At this time, the snow has not melted, the cold wind is cold, and the temperature is extremely low, and when you open your mouth to speak, you will spew out a stream of white gas.
Yang Jing held a megaphone in one hand and a reins in the other, riding on the war horse in a majestic manner, his fierce eyes swept around, and then he said loudly: "Brothers, I am your regimental commander Yang Jing, first of all, on behalf of all the soldiers of the tiger, I welcome the recruits to join our tiger regiment.
From now on, we will be a stirring spoon in a pot, a brother fighting bloodily in the trenches.
In the future, we must unite sincerely and work together to resist the Japanese invaders.
Drive these dog-called Oriental miscellaneous out of China and boost our country's prestige!
From this day forward, train ye diligently, and obey commands, for there is not much time left for you.
Two months at most, or as soon as a month, we may have to go to the front line and continue to kill the enemy and serve the country! ”
"Kill the enemy and repay the country! The Tiger Ben team is invincible, kill and kill! ”
"Kill the enemy and repay the country! The Tiger Ben team is invincible, kill and kill! ”
"Kill the enemy and repay the country! The Tiger Ben team is invincible, kill and kill! ……”
……
Thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment roared in unison in response.
The huge sound wave gathered together, deafening, and soared into the sky, frightening the birds on the surrounding mountains to scream and flapp their wings into the distance.
After the soldiers shouted three times, Yang Jing raised his hand to signal them to be quiet.
Next, Yang Jing delivered another impassioned speech, and then ordered the troops to be disbanded.
For a period of time after that, Yang Jing, Fan Tietou, Chen Lin, Rake Er, Tian Cheng and other battalion and company commanders trained special combat teams and regular troops separately.
At this time, the ratio of recruits to veterans of the Tiger Ben Regiment was about 1 to 2.
A veteran with two recruits is matched in this way, and when placed in other troops, they can basically be pulled directly into the battlefield.
Now the Tiger Ben Regiment not only has time, but also has Yang Jing, a super instructor, personally handling it, using various advanced professional knowledge and training methods to temper the recruits.
Therefore, the run-in of new and old soldiers has been greatly accelerated, and the improvement of combat effectiveness is also very significant.
In addition, there is a system that allows you to buy all kinds of food, plus there is special care from the chairman. So
The Tiger Bentuan does not have to worry about food and nutrition at all, and it makes the various training effects of the soldiers soar.
…………
Under the personal leadership and supervision of Yang Jing, the reorganized Tiger Regiment began to carry out regularized training without interruption.
At this time, on the northern battlefield, the Japanese army had basically occupied most of Shanxi and Hebei.
Since the successive defeats of the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army in the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Taiyuan, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army in Shanxi, as well as the Eighth Route Army, have been basically unable to engage in large-scale battles with the Japanese army in a short period of time due to heavy casualties.
They were forced to retreat to Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Jinnan, Wutai Mountain in northwest Jin, and Taihang Mountain in eastern Shanxi and other remote mountainous areas to continue to resist.
Of course, because of the limited terrain, it was difficult for the Japanese army's fighter planes and tank fighting vehicle units to spread out in the mountains.
In addition, after occupying so many areas, the Japanese army also had to allocate a part of their forces to maintain law and order in the local area to ensure their rule.
Therefore, the Japanese 1st Army in Shanxi was no longer able to continue to pursue and suppress the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army.
In this way, after the end of the defense of Taiyuan, the battle situation in Shanxi was temporarily stabilized, and apart from some small-scale guerrilla warfare, there were basically no major battles.
In the southern battlefield, south of the Yangtze River, with the Battle of Songhu and the end of the Battle of Nanjing, a large number of areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai also completely fell under the iron heel of the Japanese army in Central China.
In order to connect the battlefields between the north and the south and expand the invasion, the Japanese army decided to implement the strategic plan of advancing between the north and the south.
The next operational goal is to capture Xuzhou and open up and occupy the Jinpu Railway.
The Japanese Army's Northern and Southern Route Armies marched in tandem to launch a strategic offensive against a large area in Tongchuan (now Xuzhou) in a flanking attack.
In order to complete this plan as soon as possible and completely annex China, the Japanese army's northern and southern armies are seizing the time to rest and replenish, and a steady stream of materials and soldiers are being transported from the Japanese mainland to the Beijing-Tianjin-wing area in the north, as well as to the Jiangsu-Shanghai-Hangzhou region in the south.
Among them, the Japanese army in North China, with its elite 10th Division, 14th Division, and the 5th Division after the completion of the replenishment, sent more than 100,000 troops, went east to Sanjin, and began to attack the land of Qilu.
…………
Looking at the approaching New Year from a distance, the land of China does not feel the joy and excitement of the New Year in the past.
On the contrary, a New Year's atmosphere in a state of war began to gradually envelop the entire land of China.
All the hearts of the people are afraid, and they cannot live all day.
Especially at the top of the Kuomintang, almost no one can be happy.
Large areas of Shanxi and Hebei have just been lost, and now the Japanese army continues to move south non-stop, attacking Qilu, if the Japanese army achieves its wish.
The next step was to march west along the Longhai Railway, capture Shangqiu, Kaifeng, and Zhengxian (now Zhengzhou), and then move south along the Pinghan Railway, enter Hubei, and capture Wuhan.
If that happens, the vast majority of China will probably fall under the iron heel of the Japanese army.
The more people are in danger, the more they will think of those pillars.
Many high-level KMT leaders, especially the chairman, began to set their sights on the Tiger Ben Regiment resting in Hefei.
If every party-state officer is as unparalleled as Yang Jing, loyal and brave to the country.
If every army is as brave and invincible as the Tiger Regiment.
Why worry that the mountains and rivers are gone, why are you afraid that you can't get rid of the Oriental Japanese invaders!
Wuhan, the leader of the line.
Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard next to him, saw the chairman with a sad face, sighed for a long time, and couldn't help but speak: "Commission, due to the heavy casualties in the Songhu battlefield and the Nanjing station, the Japanese army in Central China is still in a state of rest and recuperation, and there is no movement to advance north for the time being.
However, the flames of war in the land of Qilu have been ignited, and the intention of the Japanese army is obvious, that is, to open up the Tianjin-Pudong railway line, so that the Japanese army in North China can complete the docking with the Japanese army in China, and then move the army westward to achieve the strategic goal of completely destroying China.
You see, can we transfer Yang Jing's Tiger Regiment over, with such an invincible force, it will definitely be able to greatly boost the morale of the vast number of officers and men in our Fifth War Zone.
At the same time, the chances of defending Tongchuan will be a few points higher! ”
The chairman said, "How is the situation of the Tiger Bentuan now?" ”
"In the first battle of Nanjing, the losses of the Tiger Ben Regiment were extremely serious! So at present, I am still resting in Hefei! Wang Shihe bowed his head and replied: "However, because of the money you allocated and the materials deployed, the Tiger Ben Regiment has been re-recruited and reorganized.
Now Regiment Commander Yang is stepping up time to train his troops, and I believe that it will not be long before the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Regiment will reach or even exceed its previous peak! ”
As soon as he thought of Yang Jing and the Tiger Bentuan, the gloom on the chairman's face unconsciously dispersed, nodded his head and said: "Tell Yang Jing that the war in the north has started, and he must be ready to go north for reinforcements at any time!" ”
"Yes!" Wang Shihe hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then turned around and left.
After Wang Shihe left, the chairman of the committee couldn't help but sigh again, it seemed that the plan to transfer Yang Jing to Hunan to organize and train the new army was about to be pushed back.
As early as before the Battle of Nanjing began, it had been decided to reuse Yang Jing's chairman, and he had such an idea.
After the war, it was planned to transfer Yang Jing and the Huben Regiment to the rear of Hunan, and with the Huben Regiment as the backbone, a powerful new army would be formed.
He believed that with Yang Jing's ability, he could definitely accomplish this task with ease.
Moreover, Yang Jing and the Tiger Bentuan have become a banner and a benchmark!
As long as this banner does not fall, it will always boost the morale of the officers and men of the whole army, so that they will always believe that the Japanese army is not invincible!
It's just that now the war in the south has just stopped, and the war situation in the north has started again.
The Tiger Regiment, which can fight well, seems to have become a firefighting team on the anti-Japanese battlefield.
Moreover, Wang Shihe is right, there is such a world-famous and invincible heroic army as the Tiger Bun Regiment.
It can greatly boost the morale and morale of the officers and men of the Fifth Theater and greatly enhance the combat strength of the Fifth Theater.
Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, the chairman had to postpone the plan to protect Yang Jing and the Tiger Bentuan and hide them inside.
At this time, Boss Dai on the side suddenly spoke: "Bench, I always feel that the origin of this Yang Jing is a little unclear, so when it is reused, I must not be unguarded!" ”
The chairman's face immediately became gloomy, and he rebuked with some dissatisfaction: "Yu Nong! Didn't you personally check the identity and details of this Yang Jing? Moreover, haven't you already found out all the information about his ancestors for three generations?
How can it be said that his origin is unknown?
Or is it that your ability to do things is not good? ”
Boss Dai's face changed, and he hurriedly explained: "Commission, this Yang Jing's identity and details, since the end of the Battle of Baoshan, the humble position has been investigated countless times, which can ensure that there is no problem with his identity and details."
But how could such a scoundrel know so many military books and tactics, and how could he understand Japanese, and even to the point of pretending to be Japanese.
This is too unbelievable!
It is precisely because of these problems that the humble position suspects that Yang Jing's origin is unknown. ”
