The first stage of training is mainly for physical training, so the troops are concentrated in the barracks in the suburbs of Guisui for conduct, and a severe punishment system has been formulated, yes, it is indeed called the punishment system, and there is no reward for doing a good job, but if the training task cannot be completed, then the soldiers who cannot complete the training to the officers responsible for leading the team will be severely punished, and the intensity of training and the training time will be increased, and the heavy will be directly kicked out of the combat team. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although these special combat personnel are all elites who have been selected by thousands of people and have undergone at least one year of rigorous training, not all of them can complete such perverted training, especially carrying hundreds of pounds of logs for long-distance off-roading, which has brushed many people.

Ma Zheng's requirements for special combat personnel are extremely high, and he knows very well what the special combat team does, that is the most elite soldier in the whole army, and it is also the most dangerous task to perform.

It is indeed an honor to be a qualified special combat member, but behind the glory is a heavy responsibility. If vision is not reconciled with responsibility, the consequences are severe.

Moreover, as a commander, Ma Zheng has to think about not only winning battles, but also taking care of bringing these young warriors back to their parents.

During this period of time, Ma Zheng felt guilty for the heavy losses of the special combat personnel, and he always felt that if he was not too eager to achieve results, it would be irresponsible to them and irresponsible to their parents if he sent these soldiers to the battlefield before they were trained to become qualified special combat personnel. Therefore, this time Ma Zheng will not be in a hurry, and he will do his best to build a real modern special forces.

Therefore, the first stage of physical training is only the beginning, if you can do this, it is only just stepping into the threshold of special forces, if you want to become a real special forces, there is also a second stage of professional training.

The second stage of training is much more specialized, and this stage is divided into different teams according to the division of labor, the machine gunner trains the machine gunner, the assassination team trains the assassination team, and the sniper training group is trained by himself.

Ma Zheng is a special forces, so he knows all the components of the special combat team very well, it can be said that although the roles in a combat group are different, their importance is not the same, but Ma Zheng believes that the most important thing should be snipers.

The main role of a sniper is to carry out precision strikes on valuable targets, such as strategic targets such as enemy commanders and various technical arms, as well as enemy artillery fire observers and communication facilities.

And another role of the sniper is to find and annihilate the enemy's snipers, because the best way to deal with snipers is sniper confrontation, although the use of artillery for large-scale bombing can also play a role in dealing with snipers, but the price is still too great, like the sniper confrontation in the scene of the movie "Soldiers in the City" is the best way to deal with snipers.

Maximizing the cost of the enemy at the lowest cost is the fundamental purpose of sparing no effort to train snipers. Snipers often perform orders such as designated sniping, patrol hunting, destruction of non-hard equipment, on-site observation and vigilance, and fire support. Snipers don't just aim to kill or injure the opposing team, in fact they can often play a tactical role that ordinary infantry can't achieve.

For example, a sniper can incapacitate a tank crew, a vehicle's fuel tank, water tank, tires, a helicopter's main and tail rotors, an optoelectronic observer, airborne ammunition, a periscope and communications equipment, and delay the enemy's base operations by destroying key equipment.

In addition, weak links such as ammunition depots, fuel depots, and command headquarters are also very easy to become high-value tactical targets for snipers. A sniper attack from the oil depot can be fired through the oil drum with one soft bullet with lead, and then detonated with one incendiary or tracer bullet when the fuel is everywhere, which will definitely cause an uncontrollable mess.

In the past, the training of all special combat personnel was still very superficial, and even if the first batch of special combat personnel went through two trainings, they could not meet the requirements for special combat teams, so this time a lot of time was specially set aside to conduct intensive training for special combat teams, especially snipers, in the hope that a real special forces could be trained.

While Ma Zheng was busy training the special combat team in Guisui, the Japanese government base camp and Lao Jiang were not idle, and each had its own actions.

On the Japanese side, in view of the fact that the Sino-Japanese war was in a stalemate stage, in order to change the strategic situation, seize the initiative in the war, and resolve the many contradictions in the country caused by the continuation of the war, the War Department, the base camp of the Japanese army, made a decision to reactivate Shunroku Hatata, who had "repeatedly made meritorious contributions" in the Chinese battlefield. On March 20, Shunroku Hahata was officially appointed commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Force of the Japanese invasion of China, succeeding his predecessor Nishio Shouzo, and was responsible for the unified command of the aggression activities of the Japanese invasion of China.

As a matter of fact, Shunroku Hata had known about this for a long time, and he handed over the work at hand over to Lieutenant General Kogawa, the new chief of guard of Emperor Hirohito, as quickly as possible, and then took a special plane from Tokyo to take up his new post directly at the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army in Nanjing.

Before coming to Nanjing, Prime Minister Fumima Konoe and Minister of Land Itagaki Seishiro had separate talks with Shunroku Hatata, and both important ministers hoped that Shunroku Hata would be able to control the situation as soon as possible after taking office, and carry out sharper strikes on Chongqing to force the Chinese government to submit.

Therefore, as soon as he took office, Shunroku Hata convened a meeting of the commanders of the two major fronts on the Chinese battlefield and several armies directly under the direct jurisdiction of the dispatch army to discuss the war against China.

After discussion, all the senior officers of the Chinese Dispatch Army Command agreed that it was necessary to treat the Chinese government differently from the Eighth Route Army in dealing with the Chinese government at this time. Almost all the senior officers believed that in the North China region, if the North China Front was concerned, its strength was still far inferior to that of the resistance forces, and that the development of the Eighth Route Army was too rapid and had far exceeded the estimates of the front army.

Therefore, the Chinese Dispatch Army Command decided that the troops in North China would continue to closely monitor the First and Second Theaters and Ma Zheng's headquarters, and that they would not provoke a war, but they would not relax their vigilance and be ready to meet the attack of Chen Feng's headquarters at any time.

At the same time, the main forces of the 11th Army and the 13th Army directly under the dispatch army were mobilized to launch an attack on Changsha to attack the Nationalist Government. So in the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army in Nanjing, Yan Junliu and others formulated an operational plan for the Battle of Changsha and reported it to the base camp to request approval of the battle plan.

For the Japanese army, the Battle of Changsha was a battle fought in a fierce and turbulent international situation, and its main purpose was to attack the Nationalist Government, and to find an opportunity to annihilate the living forces of the Ninth Theater and force the Nationalist Government to submit to the United States.

Shunroku Hatahata, the new commander-in-chief of the Japanese "China Dispatch Army," and Anami Yuki, the new commander of the 11th Army, believe that the most important task for Japan at present is to completely destroy China's attempt to continue the war and to thoroughly solve the China issue, and that it is nonsense to compete with the Americans for Southeast Asia and to flank the Soviet Union with the Germans.

Because whether it is going north or south, it is necessary to draw troops from the Chinese battlefield, and the Chinese battlefield is a difficult bone to gnaw, and the Great Japanese Empire has not forced the government of China to submit for 3 years. At this time, the sudden reduction of the number of troops dispatched will give the Chongqing government a lease of life.

Soon, the Japanese base camp approved the operational order of the Chinese Dispatch Army Command, and approved the Changsha operation plan with the "Continental Order" Order No. 438, codenamed "Operation Plus".

On the same night, Yan Junliu issued an order that the 11th Army immediately set up a headquarters combat command post in Yueyang and convened a meeting of the chiefs of staff of each unit to check the preparations for launching an offensive. At the same time, the operational points of the plus operation plan were issued: "The main purpose of this operation is to destroy the Chinese army's anti-Japanese war attempt and deal a major blow to the army of the Ninth Western Theater of Operations."
