Chapter Seventy-Four: Non-Commissioned Officer Commando

However, it should be emphasized that the regimental level is not an operational establishment in the United Kingdom of China, it is only an administrative establishment, and this level cannot be directly used for combat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, when fighting, it is also necessary to transfer different battalion-level units according to the characteristics of the enemy and the choice of combat area, so as to form a composite combat unit of different levels of combat team mode to complete the combat tasks assigned by the superiors.

Therefore, the battalion unit is the most important basic combat unit in the Royal Army.

The units above the battalion are very complex, and they will not be listed for the time being, but below the battalion level, there are three levels of company, platoon, and squad that the kingdom army has been constantly improving before.

According to the different combat modes, combat directions, and weapons and equipment, among these three levels, there are several different establishment modes.

However, everything remains the same, and basically ordinary battalion-level units follow the establishment principle of the three-three system on paper, and then carry out + direct subordinate, + strengthening, or other establishments on top of this.

For example, under the battalion level, on the parallel line of the three same basic company-level units, there is also a battalion headquarters company (or a direct company) and a reinforced weapons company, and the two additional establishments, together, are five company-level units under the jurisdiction of one battalion.

However, this refers to ordinary field combat units, colonial armies, militia units, armed police units, and so on, which generally do not have reinforced units, and even in some cases, do not even have directly subordinate units.

The special service regiment is precisely an unusual combat unit.

This special service regiment was reorganized from a part of the armed reconnaissance unit before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

After a part of the armed reconnaissance unit was transferred to the Military Intelligence Directorate, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the National Security Council and under the operational direction of the Ministry of National Defense, the remaining part of the fighters who were not suitable for being agents were integrated into the new unit.

Together, these veteran scouts have formed a new special armed reconnaisance unit, which specializes in carrying out dangerous tasks while enjoying the best and most generous treatment in the whole army.

In this special formation, as a later expanded shelf unit, they constantly excavated new people and carried out dangerous tasks.

After more than a year and nearly two years of hard work, the establishment of this special service regiment that has begun to take shape has been established.

The second reconnaissance company is a company-level combat unit belonging to the 16th Battalion of the 1601st Special Service Regiment (16 is the number of the formation order of this regiment, and the special service is the classification of this regiment, which can be referred to as the 16th Regiment according to the rules) (in fact, this regiment has only such a battalion-level unit, plus several company-level special units).

Their mission was to forcibly conduct armed reconnaissance of some enemy targets that the General Staff had suspicions of and to obtain relevant information.

In the era when there were no machine guns, once such a small unit was glued to the large force of the enemy country, it could only wait for the entire army to be annihilated.

Therefore, the equipment of this unit is lightweight, and the personnel are lean.

Ordinary combat units are strengthened on the basis of the three-three system, while the company-level units of the 3801 battalion are streamlined on the basis of the three-three system.

That is to say, the 1601 Battalion 2 Company did not have a direct platoon of ordinary troops, but was reduced to a direct squad, plus two platoon-level combat units.

Even, these two platoons, each subordinate to each other, are not three combat squads of ordinary troops and a total of five squads reinforced and directly under them, but only two squads in total.

The personnel of each of these two squads are not the large establishment of 12 people in an ordinary army unit, but the lean and small establishment of 8 people.

Therefore, when the company commander of the 3801 battalion of the 2nd company ordered all the non-commissioned officers of the 1st platoon to be called, there were only 5 people in total.

The rest of the platoon, except for the officer and the non-commissioned officer, were just the elite of the first phase of compulsory soldiers, but no matter how they were, they were just recruits in the first phase.

Originally, according to the plan, the personnel under the special service regiment should all be elite, at least non-commissioned officers.

However, because of the military reform carried out by the Ministry of National Defense in order to cooperate with local construction, some retired veterans have filled the grassroots level of local governments.

The new military service system has only been implemented for a year and a half, so even if the big one is drawn among the shorts, there is no way to give this regiment an elite establishment composed of all non-commissioned officers in the city.

At present, the entire regiment can only improve the quality of its personnel on its own under the slight deviation of personnel and resources, and use the old to lead the new to improve the quality of the troops.

In the future, it will be only when the compulsory military service system is thoroughly implemented and the selection mechanism for elite units is perfected that this unit can be regarded as on the right track.

This is why the company commander did not dare to directly send a squad of personnel to the enemy to reconnoiter at night.

If it is daytime, no matter how dangerous it is, the company commander will not let his subordinates retreat because of the danger of the battlefield, because during the day, our army can exert its maximum firepower, all accidents are controllable, and the officers can make relevant adjustments at any time, and they can ask their superiors for help at any time.

But it's night. Under the limitation of vision, snakes, insects, rats, ants, jackals, tigers and leopards, cliffs, deep pits and dangerous holes are everywhere in the deep mountains and old forests, which is simply dangerous, not to mention that there are Houjin Tartars eyeing the tiger. Even falcons used for communication are unable to fly to designated locations to detect and deliver messages due to vision problems.

Under such circumstances, the company commander is really not at ease to let a group of conscripts who have only joined the army for more than a year carry out dangerous reconnaissance missions under the condition that they cannot be seen.

Therefore, it has become inevitable to select the elite of the soldiers, that is, the non-commissioned officers who have rich experience and have been in the army for a long time, to form a commando team and carry out tasks.

The company commander counted the revolvers that the whole company had received, and then equipped the five commandos, each with two.

Together, we fixed the holsters for the commandos, let them try the comfort of shooting with their guns drawn, and then continue to adjust according to the feedback.

After thoroughly placing the most comfortable and most suitable position for drawing the gun, the company commander, the company deputy and the two platoon commanders checked the revolver's nest and safety of each team member's revolver to confirm that there would be no problems with the lowest level of misfire or unloaded ammunition.

This kind of revolver is no longer the original state of the revolver used by the Royal Army in last year's war, with a flintlock bolt mechanism, granular black powder as a propellant, a goose feather tube filled with powder black powder as a fuse, a smoothbore barrel, and grease to plug the bullet nest.
