After learning the order of the division commander, Liu Gen prepared to establish a combat squad in the shortest possible time in accordance with the plan he had made.

Considering that the elite soldiers of each unit could not be easily transferred by Liu Gen, he could only select the target on the headquarters special service regiment and the division headquarters defense unit, there are many veterans in these two units, and the combat effectiveness is not weak, Liu Gen believes that he will definitely be able to find suitable fighters to join the combat team in the two troops.

In terms of the requirements for the fighters, Liu Gen naturally can't be too high, otherwise there will be too many soldiers who can't meet the standard just from the cultural level.

Compared with the special team formed by the devil, 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 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army do not have a high level of education, so even if the combat squad is established, it cannot be compared with the devil in some directions. In terms of the training of the combat team, Liu Gen cannot be more comprehensive than the devil team, and perhaps the only thing that is better than the devil team is that it will be more strict.

went to the headquarters special service group and the division headquarters to select soldiers, Liu Gen was not hindered in any way, but these two troops welcomed Liu Gen's arrival quite a lot, and they both wanted to avenge the sacrifice of the deputy chief of staff! Only the soldiers of these two units met the deputy chief of staff the most, and they had the deepest relationship with the deputy chief of the general staff.

It's a pity that because Liu Gen has certain requirements, there are not too many soldiers who are favored by Liu Gen, and when he finishes selecting from the two troops, there are only fourteen qualified soldiers in total, plus Liu Gen is fifteen, which is not enough for two classes. But even so, Liu Gen was already very satisfied, he knew very well the situation of the Eighth Route Army, the combat squad was not suitable for having too many members, and if there were too many, the 129th Division would not be able to support it at all.

It was only after Liu Gen reported the soldiers he selected to the division commander that he received the materials that the division headquarters could provide, as well as the training grounds.

Since the division headquarters does not know much about the independent combat squad, in most cases, the division headquarters will consider Liu Gen's opinion, and in the entire 129th Division, Liu Gen has fought the devil team the most times, and he is also the person who knows the devil team the most. What's more, Liu Gen's ability in the past made the division headquarters and the headquarters very relieved of Liu Gen, and they believed that there would be no problem in handing over the formation of the combat squad to Liu Gen.

In this regard, Liu Gen is also very clear about the thoughts of the division headquarters and the headquarters. What could he do? We can only try our best to overcome the difficulties in building a combat squad and successfully establish a combat squad in the shortest possible time. And then complete the combat mission of avenging the deputy chief of the General Staff.

After taking a fourteen-man combat squad to the mountain range in the northeast corner of the division headquarters, Liu Gen began to train these soldiers, and in Liu Gen's vision, this combat squad would take two or three months to form a certain combat effectiveness at the shortest. In order to truly cultivate this combat team, it is not only necessary for the fighters to undergo a lot of heavy training, but also for the fighters to experience enough battles, only in this way can the combat team be guaranteed to have strong enough combat effectiveness.

Now the combat team is fourteen people, but in fact, in Liu Gen's opinion, wait until the end of the training. There should be less than ten fighters left in the battle team, and in addition, there are likely to be sacrifices in the battle, and I am afraid that in the end, there will only be four or five fighters in the entire battle team. Cultivating a special operations squad is so cruel, which is why Liu Gen has such high requirements when selecting fighters, he doesn't want the fighters to fall halfway when joining the combat team.

No matter what kind of battle, there are extremely high requirements for the physical fitness of the soldiers, Liu Gen also deliberately put the physical training of the fighters in the first place, only a good enough body can ensure that these players have strong enough combat effectiveness.

Physical training is not simple, Liu Gen deliberately made a lot of sandbags for the soldiers to carry weights for training, plus the soldiers have to carry their own clothes and bedding every day, which causes the soldiers to carry a weight of more than ten kilograms. This kind of training method, at the beginning, put these fighters under great pressure, and it is also that these fighters can be selected by Liu Gen to have good physical fitness, otherwise the fighters will definitely not be able to persevere.

Even if these fighters are in good physical condition, during the training, there are still cases where some fighters are too tired to faint.

By the end of the month-long physical training, the members of the combat team had improved a lot, and the number of soldiers had changed from the original fourteen to twelve. It was also at this time that the fighters realized that they had not really become members of the combat squad, and they were still under Liu Gen's observation, and only through various trainings could they officially become members of the combat squad.

In the second month, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Liu Gen specially hired some veterans with rich combat experience to be instructors, and he took time to return to the artillery school and arsenal to solve some problems that he needed to solve personally. The artillery school is okay, with Wang Chao and others here, he doesn't have to worry about too big problems in the training of the artillery school.

It's just that even with Wang Chao and others, when Liu Gen returned to the artillery school, he still learned that in the previous transfer, there were many casualties in the artillery school, and more than a dozen students unfortunately died in the transfer. When Liu Gen returned to the artillery school, he could clearly perceive that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the artillery school, and the trainees were somewhat inattentive during training. It was only after Liu Gen learned about these things and personally gathered the students together to encourage them that their situation improved.

But even so, it will take some time for the cadets in the artillery school to fully recover.

After solving the problems in the artillery school, Liu Gen returned to the arsenal, and the members of the artillery department of the arsenal had been waiting for him to come back, hoping that he would be able to solve some problems that had arisen in the manufacture and production of artillery. After Liu Gen went back to explain to them, the workers of the artillery department really understood, and with the help of Liu Gen, they formulated the process of artillery production and manufacturing more perfectly, and the yield rate was improved.

After returning to the arsenal, Liu Gen also knew that the situation in the arsenal was a little embarrassing, and the stored steel was a little insufficient, and the units of the Eighth Route Army did not make much action during this time, which made the steel sent to the arsenal a lot less by the troops. Without steel, most of the weapons and artillery manufacturing work in the arsenal would be greatly affected, and a large amount of steel would be required to produce these weapons and equipment.

According to the current steel reserves of the arsenal, it will not be able to last for a month under the condition that the arsenal is fully operational, that is to say, solving the problem of insufficient steel reserves in the arsenal has become the top priority. It's just that because all the units of the Eighth Route Army were somewhat damaged in the transfer, and the devils strictly defended the anti-Japanese base areas of the Eighth Route Army, it became extremely difficult for the troops of the Eighth Route Army to take action on the devil's railway transportation line.

Even if there are troops who successfully destroy the Devil's Railway, they will not be able to transport it away in a short time, and the speed of the Devil's troops is too fast.

For this reason, Liu Gen does not have a very good solution, he wants to get enough steel for the arsenal, it depends on the ideas of the bosses of the headquarters, if the bosses want to fight, then the troops of the Eighth Route Army will take the initiative to attack the devil's railway and get enough steel for the arsenal. And if the bosses choose not to fight, then the arsenal can only tighten the belt of their pants, produce less weapons and equipment, and reduce the consumption of steel as much as possible.

Liu Gen didn't know what the bosses of the headquarters would think, and he wasn't ready to study it, for Liu Gen, he had too many things to do, like this combat mission, he only needed to follow the orders of the division commander. If Liu Gen needed to do everything, then he would be too tired, and with his still young and immature shoulders, he couldn't carry too many things.

By the time Liu Gen finished handling the affairs of the artillery school and the arsenal, half a month had passed, and in this half a month, the soldiers of the combat squad had improved a lot, especially in marksmanship. After half a month of training, the marksmanship of the fighters has improved somewhat, and the improvement of the fighters with better talent is even greater, and a lot of bullets have been used up for the training of these dozen fighters.

If you want the fighters to improve their marksmanship in the shortest possible time, the only way to let them shoot a lot of live ammunition is to help the soldiers quickly improve their marksmanship.

After Liu Gen returned to the training camp of the combat team, he immediately gathered the fighters, and then he needed to check the training results of the fighters, among which the results were too poor, so he could only leave the combat team. Fighters with poor grades are only relative to other fighters, and fighters with poor grades are definitely much better than ordinary fighters. But unfortunately, the requirements of the combat squad are very high, and it is enough to be stronger than ordinary fighters, and it needs to be stronger.

"Comrades, I know that everyone's training has been very hard in the past half month, but the moment you are selected, you should think about how hard the training will be. I'm very happy to see that everyone is sticking to it, but some of you are not enough to officially become a member of the combat team. ”

"The task that the battle squad needs to carry out is very dangerous, and in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, I will be very strict with you! Next, I will check the results of your training in the past half a month, and the excellent ones will stay and almost leave. Liu Gen looked at the soldiers in front of him, his face was extremely serious.

The soldiers looked solemn, they understood what Liu Gen meant, during this time they had carried out heavy training, they didn't know how hard it was every day, and they were almost crazy to train twenty-four hours a day, what were they for? Not just to be part of a combat squad? Now, they need to pass Liu Gen's test, if they pass, they can stay, if they can't pass, they need to leave, every fighter has enough confidence in themselves, they believe that they can stay and become a member of the combat team.

"I know very well your physical fitness, and if you can persist until now, there is no problem with your physical fitness."

"There are only two aspects that need to test you, hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship, as long as you stand out in any of them, then you can stay, and according to the ranking of results, choose the best nine people." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

There were twelve warriors present, which meant that three warriors needed to be eliminated, and the warriors looked at each other, their eyes were full of solemnity, and no one wanted to be eliminated.

After Liu Gen divided the fighters into six groups, he directly let them compete and successfully knocked the opponent down, then he can explain his fighting ability. After training, the physical fitness and fighting skills of these fighters are almost the same, and the fighters who can win in battle are what Liu Gen needs. Liu Gen knows very well that the requirements of the combat squad are very high, and if he does not have strong enough hand-to-hand combat ability and good marksmanship, then he is not suitable to enter the combat team.

Five minutes later, the outcome was decided, and Liu Gen looked at the six victorious fighters and could see that there was a hint of joy in their eyes. The fighters are not stupid, they all understand that according to the contest method proposed by Liu Gen, the winner naturally has a greater probability of being selected into the combat team.

"After a 20-minute break, conduct live firing, and take the three with the best shooting results." Liu Gen saw that the soldiers were a little tired, and opened his mouth to command.

The warriors quickly sat down and rested, they did not talk to each other, and at such a juncture, no one had the idea of talking.

Twenty minutes later, without Liu Gen opening his mouth, the warriors quickly got up, their expressions serious, as if they were facing an extraordinarily brutal battle. The fighters all want to join the combat squad, and in their opinion, joining the combat squad is an honor, and it is a good opportunity to kill devils to avenge the deputy chief of the general staff.

"Calm down, don't be nervous, give full play to your strength!" Liu Gen said.

The fighters nodded, and after each picking up a pistol, they were ready to shoot. The weapons and equipment of the combat team cannot be compared with the devil team, the submachine gun captured from the devil team is good, but it is not suitable for Liu Gen and others, a small amount of equipment is okay, if there is too much, the ammunition supply will be a problem.

Compared with submachine guns, shell guns are a good choice, shell guns that can fire continuously, in raids, firepower is still good, and can catch devils off guard.

Now, the soldiers who are ready to shoot have a shell gun in their hands, and they have been contacting the shell gun for the past half a month to ensure that the shell gun shooting is accurate enough, and this live firing is the time to check their training results. With Liu Gen's command, the gunshots rang out, and the soldiers pulled the trigger in their hands and shot out all the bullets as quickly as possible.
