Chapter 346: Arduous Selection

Feng Yuxiang next to him saw Yang Yuanzhao's purpose, found Yang Yuanzhao, and had a brief exchange, Feng Yuxiang said: "Baichuan, don't worry, this special force is just a real force, and the number of people will not be too much, Dingtian is a battalion level, and it is not suitable for you as a division commander in the past!" ”

Yan Xishan still wanted to insist on a few words, saying that he was optimistic about this, but he didn't say it, as the actual commander of the Baotou military, Feng Yuxiang has considerable prestige, and the most important thing is that he is from the military aspect, although the army is very powerful and new, but the scale is not large, he is a division commander, it is really not suitable, and the demotion is not so outrageous.

Baotou has more than 50,000 troops, from the middle of the best to select the best, special forces as a strong force, qualified personnel, I'm afraid only a few, carefully selected 200 people, can hold on to the end, I'm afraid only less than half, or even only 3 percent. In this way, the special forces, in a fairly long period of time, will only have about forty or fifty establishments, even if it is an exceptional promotion, let all of them become non-commissioned officers, and the promotion of the establishment is at most a battalion-level unit, if the personnel are too small, in one or twenty, it is also possible at the company level, because the equipment in all aspects is not complete, it is destined to be a small team.

Yan Xishan's request was refused, because Feng Yuxiang's relationship didn't say much, but his heart churned, and later, the entire Baotou New Army, for special forces, for special operations and squad operations, the most mature and strongest, is Yan Xishan, he has always paid attention, and even carried out some improved nuclear tests in his own troops, Yang Yuanzhao's lecture seems to have planted a seed, and what will be harvested in the future is the fruit of real military innovation.

The matter of special forces, just an episode, can be regarded as Yang Yuanzhao's useful mention of the Baotou army, later, it returned to the theme, the evening of the day, mainly to tell the information, the next day and one day, told Yang Yuanzhao's understanding of radio, especially the specific role of radio in later generations, with this one by one, to inspire everyone to develop radio.

Many officers used their imagination and began to discuss the specific use of radio, and put forward a lot of useful insights, for example, without gathering troops, with the help of radio command, the force within a radius of 10 kilometers was secretly concentrated together, which would make the opponent scratch his head and exert stronger combat effectiveness, however, everyone discussed more, in fact, it was still the opponent's, radio has many advantages, but there are also many shortcomings, such as encryption, even if a series of work has been done, but on the battlefield, Anything can happen, and when the radio station is delegated to the company level, or even the platoon level, once the opponent obtains the code book, the secrets of the entire unit may be controlled by others, and this must be prevented in advance.

In this modern era, even radio information is in the most primitive stage, and it has not been applied to the military, not to mention information warfare, radio shielding, battlefield spacing, asymmetric strikes and mobilization of enemy troops to obtain fighters and the like, these are things that will only be used after more than ten years, even if he has an all-in-one machine and many advanced electronic products in later generations, it is completely impossible to do this.

Soon, under the discussion of many officers, a series of rules for the application of radio were formed, and then the whole army learned through Guò, radio, and some subsequent improved radios, just joined the army in Baotou, and quietly changed Baotou's qiē.

Things about special forces, from top to bottom, are very concerned, Feng Yuxiang personally led, in the army, at the beginning of the simple indicators given by Yang Yuanzhao, actually selected 700 people, much higher than the number of 200 people Yang Yuanzhao said before.

Who to let go down, who to let go up, this is a little difficult, you know, the four division commanders, Feng Yuxiang is also down, he doesn't care too much, the other Shi Congyun, Wang Jinming and Yan Xishan, all regard this matter as an important matter, and even between the three divisions, because of this aspect, there is also some competition to see who is finally selected.

In the end, the news was reported to Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao was also surprised, this condition was based on his understanding of the special forces, to be precise, he saw the TV series about the special forces on TV, and summed it up, in his opinion, that is the standard of later generations, in this era, there should be very little, but I didn't expect a lot.

After carefully reading it, especially the selection process, Yang Yuanzhao himself couldn't help but admire, the Chinese, especially the poor Chinese people, are definitely the most resilient people, all of them are elites, at least after more than 2 years of military training, design skills, all are a hundred steps through Yang, in the case of Baotou paying attention to food, night blindness and some other problems, all no, professional training, is also the top, especially the biggest ability of the special forces, In terms of willpower and tenacity, it is even beyond the selection specifications of later generations.

They are all good seedlings, as long as they strengthen training, they should all be an excellent special forces, but this is a real force, for the time being, can not accommodate so many personnel, after pondering for a long time, Yang Yuanzhao decided, continue to improve the standard, choose some extreme methods, the best of the best, only have unique skills, especially those that have a huge effect on the special forces, can slightly relax the standards, and the others must be strict.

It can be called the most stringent special forces selection, and it began like this, almost all of them were made by a fraction of a margin, and it was decided whether a person would stay or go, and finally, when the list reached 300, it could no longer be deleted, and even Feng Yuxiang couldn't stand it, and interceded, so 300 people were retained, and 300 people were selected out of 50,000 people, all of whom were elites, except for a small number of projects that had not been trained, and the others could already be said to be a special forces standard.

The person was deleted, and he also chose a battalion commander with an extremely strong personal tactical level, as the commander of the special forces, and then, according to the subjects designated by Yang Yuanzhao, selected from the existing situation, and conducted training, many things, Yang Yuanzhao also knew a little about it, at most he discussed with the officers, and finally formed a more systematic method, which was almost full of loopholes, became the future, the classic lesson plan of the world's special forces, and wrote it into the history of the special forces.

Those who were eliminated returned to their respective units and were not disbanded, basically there will be dozens of people in each division, and these plus the remaining level is relatively high, and there are some means, which are valued by each division, forming a division-level sharp knife reconnaissance company, which is not as comprehensive as the special forces, but pays more attention to tactical coordination, such as reconnaissance, fire guidance, tongue grabbing, obtaining intelligence, and even decapitation operations, these things that have a huge effect on the battle and the battle situation have been perfectly integrated and magnified by them.

Even Yang Yuanzhao didn't expect that a lecture that originally promoted the radio was inexplicably crooked, and it must have prompted the emergence of the Baotou special forces, and because of him, Yang Yuanzhao began to try to develop some special combat equipment, two of which were directly applied to the Baotou troops, one is a sniper rifle, which is imported from Germany and integrated into a special high-precision rifle, forming the most basic sniper rifle, which can be in the range of 600-800 meters. Accurately kill the enemy, which is beyond the range of sharpshooters in the ordinary sense, after the distribution of special forces, by the officers unanimously praised, and even as the standard device of the Baotou New Army, at least each squad is required to have a sniper, Baotou actually in a year, distributed nearly 6000.

The other is light machine guns, because the special forces, are the actions of small detachments, relying solely on rifles, can not provide sufficient fire support, must develop a new, automatic firearms, relative to sniper rifles, the birth of light machine guns, is really very difficult, although Baotou has the ability to transform the artillery, but at that time based on the material, Makqin as a mature firepower, decades have not changed too much, although Yang Yuanzhao knows the air-cooled light machine gun, but specific to the firearm, He didn't know how to achieve air cooling, so he could only take this as a topic and put it in the research institute, and it even took almost 2 years for a few military experts to finally develop it.

Because of the lack of firepower, at the beginning, the firepower of the special forces could only replace the steel on the basis of Makqin with some light metal materials, reducing the weight of Makqin by almost half, and dividing the complete him into three parts to support the firepower of the special forces.

The application of radio and the establishment of special forces, a certain degree of dù above, enhanced the military strength of Baotou, which is still imperceptible, and time, slowly walked through April 1910, a large number of orders signed last year, are also delivered one by one, more than one million spindles of textile machinery, from Baotou, sent to all parts of the country, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the traditional cotton textile provinces, one by one cotton mills were established, more and more gentry and businessmen began to devote themselves to it, and only saw the eyes, And they did not take into account the whole world, they will not find that the price of cotton, quietly rising, the current world futures cotton market, has become a standard long, the price of spot cotton in November, has risen by 15, and simply can not be bought, more than 300 million pounds of funds, hidden in it, waiting for a few months later, the moment to see the dagger.

1910, a seemingly uneventful year, is destined to go down in history due to many changes. R1152
