[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 62: Blood Killing Order

After the plan for the expansion of the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Chanan was reported to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it was quickly approved. At the same time, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government also issued an order to rebuild the Seventh Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army with the Chanan Guerrilla Detachment as the backbone, and appointed Ma Zheng as the brigade commander of the Major General.

After receiving the approval from the headquarters, Ma Zheng immediately ordered all units to assemble in accordance with the previous reorganization plan, and at the same time drew up the candidates for the military and political chiefs of each unit.

Soon, the complete personnel appointment results of the Seventh Brigade were released, and the brigade commander was naturally Ma Zheng, Yun Jian was the political commissar, Huang Sicheng was the chief of staff, and Wang Hansen was the head of the logistics department.

The military and political chiefs of each combat unit are: Huang Bingyan, commander of the 200th Regiment, Chen Xudong, commander of the 201st Regiment, Wu Xiuda, commander of the 1st Supplementary Regiment, and Lu Ming, commander of the 2nd Supplementary Regiment. Only a new engineer battalion was added, and the battalion commander was Wang Tao.

Due to the lack of political cadres, none of the above units were equipped with political commissars. Of course, not being equipped does not mean that it will not be equipped, and it will naturally be made up when the conditions are ripe.

After the reorganization was completed, Ma Zheng redivided the garrisons of the various units, with the brigade headquarters and the two supplementary regiments and all the directly subordinate units stationed in Yama Mountain, while the 200th Regiment was stationed in Daqingshan and the 201st Regiment was stationed in Sumu Mountain.

The reason for this arrangement was that the soldiers of the two supplementary regiments were composed of former Kuomintang prisoners, and these prisoners had different numbers and training conditions, so Ma Zheng decided to take them with him for a period of time to train well, and then let them act alone when they were qualified.

After the detachment was expanded into a brigade, Tieniu's special operations brigade was also expanded, and after some careful selection, another 80 soldiers with unique skills were added to the special operations brigade. After the expansion, the total strength of the entire special operations brigade has reached 147 people.

Although the number of people was only equivalent to that of an infantry company, Ma Zheng fixed the special operations brigade as a regimental-level military unit, and the captain of the special operations brigade was at the same level as the commanders and political commissars of each regiment.

In order to make those supplementary troops and special operations brigades form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Ma Zheng will focus his work on training in the next period of time.

In addition to training these recruits, Ma Zheng's most important task is to train these special combat soldiers. After all, there are veterans for recruits, as long as they follow the training syllabus. Moreover, these recruits themselves used to carry guns, and they have experience and foundation, so it is not difficult to form combat effectiveness.

But the special operations brigade is different, although Ma Zheng has trained them for more than three months before, but in terms of actual combat power, Ma Zheng is still not satisfied. Compared with the Thor Special Operations Brigade of later generations, the newly formed unit is too immature.

Of course, the problem is not only in the quality of the soldiers, but also in terms of weaponry. Compared with the advanced equipment such as automatic assault rifles, anti-materiel sniper rifles, light machine guns and so on, Ma Zheng could only get them some shell guns, submachine guns and Japanese-made sniper rifles in this era, and the gap in performance was too big.

But the objective conditions are like this, and Ma Zheng has no choice. He can't build advanced weapons out of thin air, but he can improve his training methods. The early stage is just physical training, which the vast majority of special combat personnel have basically met Ma Zheng's requirements now, so the next step is the real tactical and technical training.

In order to make this highly-anticipated special forces truly live up to the name of "Thor", Ma Zheng took out the methods of training special forces of the Thor team in later generations. As a member of the Thor team and the commander of the Thor team, Ma Zheng handed over his most beautiful and fiery youth to this unit, so his feelings for this force are extremely deep.

Since it is no longer possible to return to the Thor team, Ma Zheng feels that it is necessary for him to recast a new Thor team in this era, for himself and for the sake of his former brothers.

The training was hard and kinky. The team members need to get up at 5:30 every day, and after getting up, they first add 20 kilograms of weights to run with ordinary recruits, which is not long, only five kilometers, to train physical strength and endurance.

Breakfast is served to complete the mission, and later training is to cross 30 meters of barbed wire and pull-ups. The hardest thing was training shooting, holding a rifle machine gun flat, hanging a brick from the muzzle of the gun with a rope, and drying motionless for 2 hours.

Finally, there is one hour of live firing at the target, and there are special regulations on shooting Ma Zheng with live ammunition, and he stipulates that each special combat team member has the opportunity to shoot three live ammunition every day. And it is required that each team member must have at least 27 rings or more in each shooting, otherwise the training will be overtime.

Yun Jian had an opinion on this at first, and after seeing the training of the special combat team members with his own eyes, he specially approached Ma Zheng and asked him to allocate a little more ammunition to the special combat team members every day. After all, ordinary recruits also have the opportunity to fire two live ammunition a day, and the combat effectiveness of the special combat personnel is so strong, they should send a little more.

But Yun Jian's proposal was rejected by Ma Zheng, and Ma Zheng told him a story. There was a shooter, and at the beginning, the coach gave him 300 rounds of ammunition a day for training. He was always careless in his training, and as a result, his shooting performance never improved. Later, the coach only gave him 1 bullet a day, and if he didn't hit the bull's-eye, he was not allowed to leave the training ground. Because he only had one bullet, he became extra serious in training and didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest. After a period of training, his shooting performance improved by leaps and bounds. In the end, he won a big competition and became a great athlete.

After listening to Ma Zheng's story, Yun Jian didn't say anything anymore, he understood what Ma Zheng meant. No matter how many opportunities there are, you must know how to cherish them, and only by cherishing the opportunity, then with only three bullets, the special combat team members can all become sharpshooters. On the other hand, if you don't cherish it, even if you give them 100 rounds of ammunition a day.

In addition to these regular trainings, swim training is done every two days. Unlike the closed arena of swimmers, the special combat team members train to swim in real rivers, and they also wear thick military uniforms and carry various equipment.

Every three days, it is necessary to carry out a 50-kilometer cross-country march training with a weight of 30 kilograms, a field survival training once a week, bring 3 days of food to survive in the field for 7 days, march more than 300 kilometers, and carry guns, ammunition and survival supplies on their backs, and carry out actual combat breakouts, counter-breakthroughs, reconnaissance of enemy conditions, climbing cliffs and other tasks on the way. In peacetime training, an all-round training program has been added, and most of the equipment in the army, from pistols to Type 92 infantry guns, must be mastered one by one, especially the standard equipment of the Japanese army.

In addition, the special operations team also has to study Japanese with Ma Zheng for an hour every day, and it is not required to be able to write, but it must be able to speak, and it must be proficient in speaking.

Such high demands and such cruel training methods are by no means something that ordinary people can bear, and due to the limited time, Ma Zheng does not have so much time to give them the opportunity to experiment, except for the time in the mountains, most of the time is spent in actual combat training. As a result, the progress of the special combat personnel was rapid, but the casualties were also very high, with 28 killed and 2 disabled in just one month, and the rest were basically injured.

Of course, the results were also very brilliant, and in just one month, the special operations brigade successfully completed a total of 68 missions. Footprints have traveled all over Xinghe, Qianqi, Zhangbei, Tianzhen, Yanggao, Huai'an, Wanquan, Zuoyun, Youyu, Datong counties and cities.

Everywhere they went, the special operations brigade had to openly investigate and secretly visit the traitors and lackeys of the local Japanese army, and draw up a plan to assassinate them in the shortest possible time; after the assassination was completed, they would also leave a small blood-colored flag with the word "kill" written on it at the scene of the crime. ps: Dizzy, I actually sent Chapter 62 first, and Chapter 61 later, it's like an oolong home.
