Chapter 491: Combat Squad
"That's good! I knew that you would agree directly. The division commander's eyes were full of admiration for Liu Gen, he knew that Liu Gen's injuries were a little serious, but he still chose to ask.
In the eyes of the division commander, this combat mission is very suitable for Liu Gen, and only by letting Liu Gen carry out this combat mission will he really rest assured. Of course, considering Liu Gen's physical condition, the combat mission will wait until Liu Gen has fully recovered before it is executed, and then give Liu Gen enough time to recuperate to ensure that Liu Gen's body can recover.
"Division commander, I don't know what combat mission I need to perform?" Liu Gen couldn't help but ask.
The division commander's face was a little serious, and after he was silent for a moment, he spoke: "Naturally, it is to avenge Comrade Deputy Chief of General Staff, Comrade Deputy Chief of General Staff cannot die in vain!" ”
The other people around have obvious hatred on their faces, that is the hatred of the devil, they have no chance to go to the front line to kill the devil, if they have the opportunity, then they will definitely kill the devil desperately, even if they are sacrificed on the battlefield, they have no regrets. It's a pity that these soldiers will not easily go to the battlefield, and they will not easily have any battles with the devils, and they will not be able to rush to the front line to fight the devils with the responsibility of protecting the safety of the bosses.
Once they really fight the devils, then it means that the safety of the bosses cannot be guaranteed, and the devils have successfully caught up, and only at this time will these soldiers have the opportunity to fight the devils.
Compared with the soldiers on the front line, these soldiers who are responsible for protecting the bosses need to pay attention to more things, and the training on weekdays is more arduous and heavy, in order to ensure the safety of the bosses, the soldiers need to work hard to make themselves better and grow into real elites.
"I ordered, even if you don't ask, I will definitely participate! The Deputy Chief of the General Staff died tragically, and we must avenge him! ”
"Division Commander, I don't know if you have seen those captured ghost soldiers? From their mouths, they may be able to ask something, some of these devil soldiers have been operating in the area of Cross Ridge, they must know something. Liu Gen thought of the captured devil soldiers, he believed that these devil soldiers must know something, even if they didn't know the information about the Cross Ridge area, they should also know other information about the devils.
In any case, some of the information that these devils know is urgently needed by the Eighth Route Army, and naturally it is necessary to use those captured devils.
"Okay, I'll arrange for a comrade who is proficient in Japanese to ask something right away."
"Genzi, you just take care of your injuries here, follow the division headquarters, and when your injuries are almost healed, you will be responsible for forming a squad. To avenge the deputy chief of the general staff, you must go deep into the towns occupied by the devils, and the large troops cannot reach them, so they can only carry out combat operations in the form of squads, and you must be prepared accordingly. The division commander explained to Liu Gen.
Liu Gen nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood that he didn't need to be reminded by the division commander, he also knew that if he wanted to avenge the deputy chief of general staff, it was very necessary to have a squad that was not weak in combat, and only by going deep into the town occupied by the devils in the form of a squad would he not be easily detected by the devils. As for the movement of large troops, it is easy to be discovered by the strongholds established by the devils, and during the sweep, the devils were not idle, and they built a lot of new strongholds in the base area.
At the same time, in order to defend these strongholds, the devils invested a lot of troops in the anti-Japanese base areas to support each stronghold. It can be said that in the following time, the most important task of the units of the Eighth Route Army is to uproot the strongholds established by these devils in the anti-Japanese base areas, so as to prevent their every move from being discovered by the devils, and if these devils strongholds are not uprooted, then the combat operations of the Eighth Route Army troops will not have the slightest secret from the devils.
After seeing the division commander and others leave, Liu Gen kept thinking about the establishment of the squad, and with the conditions of the Eighth Route Army, it would be quite difficult to establish a squad with strong enough combat effectiveness.
At the very least, the resources required to establish a combat squad will be a big problem, and it will not be a simple matter to successfully build a combat squad with strong enough combat effectiveness.
Liu Gen didn't know if the combat squad would be able to continue to exist after completing the combat mission of avenging the deputy chief of staff, but he felt that it was still necessary to make corresponding preparations in advance, and only in this way could it be foolproof and avoid consuming too much material and equipment.
The selection of the combat squad cannot be simple, it needs the elite of the elite, in the entire 129th Division, such elite soldiers will be incomparably treasured, and it is not so simple to get it. Even if Liu Gen had the orders of the division commander, it would not be so easy for him to transfer these elite soldiers from various units.
If the elites of the 129th Division were transferred to form a squad, perhaps Liu Gen would be able to train this combat squad, but after this combat mission was over, the combat squad would be disbanded again, which Liu Gen did not want to see. Successfully formed combat squads will certainly not be weak in combat effectiveness, and they will not play a small role in various battles.
In Liu Gen's view, if the combat squad is successfully formed, then the establishment of the combat squad should be retained to carry out various combat tasks and give full play to the flexibility of the small unit's operations.
Under the guidance of the small units of the devils, the devils firmly followed the rear of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which was also one of the important reasons for the unfortunate death of the deputy chief of general staff. What's more, Liu Gen, who has crossed over from later generations, is very aware of the important role that a small army can play in combat.
In a battle, the special operations of small units play a great role, and can even determine the outcome of a battle.
As long as the formed combat team finds an opportunity to decapitate the devil officers, it will inevitably be able to kill a lot of devil officers, and it can also make the division commander and the headquarters boss realize the merits of small unit operations.
After thinking for half an hour, Liu Gen got up and found the paper and quickly recorded his thoughts. Before forming a combat squad, Liu Gen needs to make a sound plan in advance to avoid minor problems that may arise when forming a combat squad.
In mid-June, the devils learned of the death of the deputy chief of the General Staff in the transfer, and made a big fuss, believing that it was the result of their sweep.
After the end of the sweep against the Japanese base areas, the devils have never had any achievements that they can achieve, and the news of the sacrifice of the deputy chief of general staff is regarded by the devils as their greatest achievement, and it is constantly publicized. In just a few days, the whole country learned of the death of the deputy chief of general staff, and the people of the whole country were indignant, and all units of the Eighth Route Army began to take action to take revenge on the devils.
Among them, the Yan'an direction also made clear instructions, ordering all units of the Eighth Route Army to carry out retaliation against the devils under the command of the bosses of the headquarters, and the sacrifice of the deputy chief of general staff needs to wash away this shame with the blood of the devils.
From mid-June to the end of August, the fighting between the units of the Eighth Route Army and the devils never stopped, and the troops of the devils were attacked and harassed by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, making the devils unable to guard against them. At this time, the devil realized that the news of the sacrifice of the deputy chief of staff was hyped up, which completely angered the originally low-key Eighth Route Army troops, but in the face of the attack of the Eighth Route Army troops, the devil did not have a very good way.
On the frontal battlefield, the Battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi mobilized a large number of devils, which made the devils unable to organize enough troops to counterattack when dealing with the attacks of the troops of the Eighth Route Army.
The frenzied attacks and attacks of the various units of the Eighth Route Army made these devils frightened birds, and they did not dare to get out of their strongholds easily, for fear of being attacked by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. At night, some of the devils' strongholds will carry out patrols, and after each patrol, the devils can find that there are one or two people missing from their team, and those are the devils who were quietly killed by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
In less than two months, the devils in the rear occupation zone have become extremely tired, and they need to be constantly on guard against attacks from the Eighth Route Army, which can take place in any corner.
The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is still very satisfied with the achievements of the various units, and perhaps this combat method cannot cause too many casualties to the devils, but it can give the devils great defensive pressure through this method, and it can be seen that the offensive of the various units of the Eighth Route Army has been fruitful from the recent tightening of the defense of the devils' strongholds and the fact that they do not dare to go out easily.
At the beginning of September, under the orders of the bosses, all units of the Eighth Route Army re-entered a state of low-key development, focusing on restoring and developing base areas, enhancing their own combat effectiveness, and preparing for the next battle with the devils.
When the devils found that all the troops of the Eighth Route Army had no intention of continuing to attack, they immediately relaxed a lot, and felt that life was better, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army who were hiding in the dark and constantly attacking were too terrible, so that they couldn't sleep well every night, and they were always worried that there would be a sudden artillery attack and kill them all.
Some of the puppet soldiers who took refuge in the devils were the most fearful, they were very worried about the liquidation of the troops from the Eighth Route Army, and the puppet army did not have too good weapons in their hands, so that they were extremely aware of their own situation, knowing that they would not have the slightest resistance when they encountered the troops of the Eighth Route Army. These puppet armies are even more unbearable than the devils, they stay in the stronghold for a long time, and unless they are receiving supplies, they will not go out of the stronghold for half a step at all.
During this period, the units of the Eighth Route Army also tried to pull out the newly built strongholds of the devils in the anti-Japanese base areas, but with little success, whenever the devil's strongholds were attacked, several surrounding strongholds would be reinforced, unless the Eighth Route Army mobilized enough troops to come up with the strongholds built by the devils. And in order to pull out the stronghold, it is a bit too wasteful to mobilize a large army, not to mention that once a large force is mobilized, then the devil troops will also be killed in the shortest possible time, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army will be in danger.
The stronghold built by the devils in the anti-Japanese base areas was the strategic purpose of dividing the base areas into several parts and cutting off the connections between the various base areas in order to achieve the strategic purpose of suppressing the development of the Eighth Route Army. Among them, the newly built strongholds of these devils in the anti-Japanese base areas are also a kind of bait, in order to lure the large forces of the Eighth Route Army to dispatch, and then the devils find an opportunity to annihilate the living forces of the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing this, the bosses of the headquarters did not order the troops to send too many troops to uproot the strongholds established by the devils, and the bosses knew very well that the suppression of the devils against the Japanese base areas would not end easily, and even if some of the devils' strongholds were uprooted now, it would not have too much impact on the overall situation.
At a time when the units of the Eighth Route Army were shrinking their strength and restoring and developing the base areas, Liu Gen finally came out of the division hospital, and his injuries have only been fully recovered until now. Originally, with Liu Gen's physical fitness, he was able to leave the division hospital very early, but due to the division commander's explanation, he was forced to stay in the hospital by the division doctor, and he was very helpless about this, but there was no good way.
With Liu Gen's strength, if he really wanted to escape from the division hospital, it was naturally very simple, and no one in the division hospital could stop him. It's just that because of the order issued by the division commander, he can only stay in the division hospital to recuperate from his injuries, and before his injuries are healed, even if he comes out of the hospital, he will not be allowed by the division commander to carry out combat missions.
During his stay in the divisional hospital, Liu Gen was familiar with the divisional hospital, and he did not waste his time staying in the divisional hospital, and took a lot of time to compile two sets of artillery materials, which he thought could play a significant role in the training of artillery personnel for the 129th Division Artillery School. Liu Gen also considered that he would not have much time to return to the artillery school in the future, so he could only help the artillery school continue to develop in this way.
At the same time, Liu Gen also learned a lot of knowledge about battlefield first aid in the division hospital, even if he didn't get the opportunity to practice, but when he was on the battlefield, what he learned would definitely play a role. When Liu Gen left the artillery school, he was still a little reluctant, and he was still very comfortable staying in the division hospital, and he didn't have to worry about anything. It's a pity that even so, Liu Gen is unwilling to continue to stay in the division hospital, and the division hospital can't keep him.
As soon as he left the division hospital, Liu Gen went to the division commander and prepared to select fighters to form a combat squad that had always been strong in combat, go deep behind enemy lines, and avenge the sacrifice of the deputy chief of general staff.
After meeting the division commander, Liu Gen took out his own preparation plan, and after the division commander checked it, he successfully obtained the permission of the division commander to form this combat team born for revenge in the shortest possible time!
