Near the end of the month, at the intersection of Jiangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang provinces, not far from Quzhou Mansion in Zhejiang, Yang Lin and the others gathered here, wearing armor, wearing steel helmets, and their robes waving in the wind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In just over a month, the two major armies cooperated with Yang Lin to win Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces in one fell swoop, and Thunder firmly held the control of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

At this time, part of the strength of the Kongtong Army and some men and horses of the Qilin Army formed a new wing, marching on the official road, the war horses marched slowly, the cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, and the 100,000 elites stretched for dozens of miles, faintly forming a trend of overwhelming mountains and seas. However, this team of mixed Kongtong Army and Qilin Army was very quiet and marched unhurriedly, except for the flock of birds that disturbed the place where the team passed, only the dialogue between Yang Lin and the generals at the front.

From the generals, to the commander Yang Lin, down to the cavalry and infantry, they are all armed with steel guns, wearing bullet belts, with bullet magazines and grenades hanging around their waists, and there are even more baggage troops between the cavalry and the infantry, or everyone carries mortars, or a few people carry heavy machine guns, and the cannons drawn by mules fall far behind.

In the process of hurrying, Yang Lin did not have the slightest eagerness, but asked: "Zhao Xiang, although our operation this time has been planned, it will only take one day to start from the joint army, and it is still a bit hasty to set off the camp the next day." By the way, tell me, the battle between you and Chao Sheng in Fuzhou Mansion, especially the pacification of the people in various state capitals, is there a strong resistance to our army? ”

"Report to the marshal, when attacking the provincial capital along the coast of Fujian, except for the Fuzhou Mansion, the other places were taken quite smoothly. As for the reaction of the people in the various state capitals, since we are implementing a policy of not disturbing the people, they have no resistance. ”

"Oh, in this way, when you attacked Fuzhou Mansion, did there also happen to Longyan City? During the night attack, it disturbed the enemy, what happened? ”

"That's not it, it's just that there are a lot of garrisons in Fuzhou City, far beyond our expectations. Moreover, the operation of Thunder was not very smooth, and the two important strategic islands of the Min River were controlled by the Qing court, so the war dragged on for a while. Hearing Yang Lin's doubtful words, Zhao Hu hurriedly explained.

Yang Lin nodded suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Zhao Hu, you have also experienced a lot of battles big and small, have you ever thought about entering the army and leading the troops to fight?" ”

"Marshal, the subordinates don't want to yet." Zhao Hu's mood was not high, he shook his head, saw the puzzled look on Yang Lin's face, and hurriedly explained: "Marshal, the last general understands your good intentions, commanding millions of troops, and the military merits obtained are far from being comparable to the merits obtained by special operations. However, his subordinates have become accustomed to special operations, and they are accustomed to walking in the shadows and unknowingly taking the head of the enemy's generals, thus affecting the entire battle situation. ”

"The sense of accomplishment you get when you're in a special operation is something you can't get anywhere else."

At this moment, Zhao Hu showed a look of intoxication, very selfless, after a short period of intoxication, he slowly continued: "Marshal, maybe you don't know something, you can't understand that when your subordinates take dozens of people, they secretly sneak into the enemy camp, destroy the enemy's grain and grass, take the lives of the enemy's commanders, and make the enemy army fall into chaos. ”

Yang Lin understood, although Zhao Hu has the talent of a general and the style of a royal man, he is a natural special operations soldier, compared to the confrontation between the two armies, Zhao Hu prefers sneak attacks, hit the enemy by surprise, and obtain the greatest results with the least number of troops.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart, and said meaningfully: "Zhao Hu, although the special operation is beautiful, compared to the establishment of a special army, which one has a greater sense of achievement?" ”

Zhao Hu frowned slightly, then stretched out, and asked suspiciously: "Special forces?" As if he had an understanding, he continued: "Marshal, your subordinates probably understand that yours is too, and they are not denying anything. However, our current total strength is at most 200,000 people, and most of them are still recruited. ”

"At the beginning, when the Fengyun special combat team was established, it could be said that it was one in a thousand, or it was based on the fact that the selected people all had good military qualities, and if they wanted to establish a special combat force, their scale should be at least more than a thousand people...... " Zhao Hu stopped and looked at Yang Lin meaningfully.

Smiling slightly, Yang Lin of course knew what Zhao Hu wanted, implied a voice, took over the conversation, and said clearly: "Zhao Hu, I understand what you mean, a special forces force of more than 1,000 people, the basic number of people selected is at least hundreds of thousands, and now the strength we have, not only is the overall military quality far inferior to the original selection conditions, but proportionally speaking, even the strength of the army cannot meet the selection requirements, yes or no?" ”

"Yes, Marshal, exactly." Zhao Hu nodded.

It seems that he has been mentally prepared for a long time, knowing that Zhao Hu will say this, Yang Lin's reaction is very flat, he always keeps a smile, and after waiting for Zhao Hu's response in agreement, he continued: "Zhao Hu, don't underestimate the troops we have recruited, as well as those who defected. Although they are either born in the grass, or are good men in the green forest, and some are roosters and dog thieves, there are many of them who have special skills, such as strong martial arts, or good at disguise, or good at stealing, and so on. ”

Zhao Hu was still puzzled, but he still listened and waited patiently for the next words.

"Zhao Hu, what are special forces? Special forces, they were established not only to influence or influence the development of the war, but also to carry out extraordinary tasks, to win more with less, and to take the head of the general, which is only part of their task. ”

"Moreover, the task of special forces is not necessarily on the battlefield, it is quite possible to go deep behind enemy lines, enter the adversary's large rear, carry out strategic sabotage, obtain important intelligence, and assassinate important leaders. Once in the enemy's rear, it is possible to use any kind of talent. For example, people who are good at climbing, people who are good at diving into deep house compounds, and so on. ”

"And the most important point, every special operation of the special forces, not all have the support of weapons, what is needed is hand-to-hand combat, silent combat, in this way, personal skills are particularly important, want me to be in China, the most important thing is this kind of talent, with superb martial arts, the so-called master in the people."

Gradually, Zhao Hu's puzzled expression gradually relaxed, his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he thought of something, Yang Lin said again: "Not only that, if you carry out the mission of going deep behind enemy lines, there will be no lack of hand-to-hand combat and fighting, and it is inevitable that there will be no damage. ”

At this moment, Zhao Hu had completely understood what Yang Lin meant, and said by inference: "Oh... Marshal, I understand what you have to say, the tasks of the special forces are not static, not necessarily when the two armies face each other, sometimes, most likely, long before the outbreak of the Great War. ”

"Moreover, compared to the special operations team, there should not only be a fire team, a sniper team, a support team, but also a medical team. Due to the different tasks of different special operations teams, their personnel composition should also be different. For example, when performing deep and infiltration missions, as long as the marksmanship and camouflage of the special operations team members are strong enough, the mission can be completed. ”

"Of course, such as landing operations, jungle operations, desert operations, and so on, the composition of these special operations teams is even more different."

Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction, looked around, and saw that he had not yet reached his destination, and said step by step: "Zhao Hu, don't be too limited in your thinking, the reason why you set up a special force is not only to gather all kinds of talents, but also to collect various skills, sort them out, supplement them with argumentation, and make a more scientific training method to train the special forces of the special forces." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiang suddenly brightened, his eyes lit up, and he said as if he had an understanding: "Marshal, what do you mean...?" ”

Yang Lin smiled slightly, brushed the mane of the war horse, and said loudly: "The meaning is very simple, our current special forces are still in the embryonic stage, and various means are still somewhat limited. If we bring together all kinds of talents, form a group, let them communicate and discuss with each other, and at the same time enrich the training subjects and increase the skills of special combat personnel. In this way, our special operation is the real special operation. ”

Zhao Hu's eyes were scorching, and he was very excited, however, this expression did not last long, and suddenly became dark, and he said sneeringly: "But, but, marshal, we are just such a little person at present......"

"Zhao Hu, I'm not asking you to set up a special force immediately, but I want to have a mental preparation first, once the army crosses the Yangtze River and carries out a westward expedition, and the Kongtong army takes Hunan and some areas north of the Yangtze River, our troops will increase greatly, and as our army establishes its prestige among the people, there will be no shortage of all kinds of talents in the army." As if thinking of the future scene, Yang Lin's face wandered, and his voice was full of charm.

In an instant, Zhao Xiang exhaled a long breath, it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart, he just wanted to say something, but he felt that the atmosphere around him was stagnant, and he became extremely nervous, and Yang Lin's solemn voice sounded at the right time, full of vigilance.

"The order goes down, and all the soldiers enter the state of attack......" (To be continued.) )
