Today, the second update, ask for recommendations, ask for collections......

Through the last battle, Zhang Yunfei still felt that the number of his troops was too small, and now he must take this opportunity to work hard to expand his troops.

At present, Zhang Yunfei's sphere of influence is several hundred miles around Datong, and several small county towns in the vicinity have been recovered, and the entire base area is nearly 10,000 square kilometers, with a population of several million, and sufficient soldiers.

What's more, every day, there are hot-blooded young people from all over the country who ask to join the Eighth Route Army, and there are tens of thousands of these people.

After careful consideration, Zhang Yunfei planned to expand the army to about 100,000.

Zhang Yunfei knew that the Eighth Route Army was keen on expanding its troops, and according to the memory of later generations, the Eighth Route Army had only a few tens of thousands of people in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and in the absence of equipment, after eight years of the War of Resistance against Japan, by the end of the War of Resistance against Japan, it had grown to more than one million.

Now that they have a lot of money, the arsenal can continuously produce weapons and equipment and expand the troops, which is much easier than the historical Eighth Route Army.

Zhang Yunfei drew up a plan for the expansion of the army by himself and reported it to the headquarters, but unexpectedly, the headquarters immediately approved it and agreed to the expansion of Zhang Yunfei's troops.

The reply from the General Headquarters also said that at present the other three divisions are developing in a good momentum, with tens of thousands of people in each division, and a large number of anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines have been opened.

Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division was the smallest of the four main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, and the headquarters asked Zhang Yunfei to take Datong as the center, strive to develop the base area, and actively expand the troops.

Although the 136th Division has the smallest number of people, it is the most well-equipped and has the strongest combat effectiveness, Zhang Yunfei thought as he looked at the approval of the headquarters.

Zhang Yunfei planned to expand the force into five infantry brigades, an armored brigade, an artillery brigade, a guard regiment, an antiaircraft artillery regiment, and division organs.

Each infantry brigade has three infantry regiments, one transport battalion, one artillery battalion, one guard battalion, and one engineer battalion with a full strength of more than 11,000 people.

The armoured brigade consists of three tank regiments, each of which will be equipped with 120 tanks and a small number of infantry fighting vehicles.

The artillery brigade has three artillery regiments, three artillery regiments, one towed artillery regiment, and two self-propelled artillery regiments.

The divisional organs include logistics, communications support, intelligence, hospitals, and other departments, and the number of them is also two to three thousand.

In the Xuzhou battlefield and Tianjin, the special combat team shined, and at present, the intelligence collected by the special combat team also plays a pivotal role, so Zhang Yunfei is ready to expand the special combat team again.

This time, Zhang Yunfei is preparing to select one in a hundred, and among the more than 10,000 fighters available, another 100 fighters who have excellent selection and good mental and physical fitness will be added to the special combat team.

It is said that special combat personnel will be selected again, and the soldiers are enthusiastic and actively sign up, and everyone has long admired the mysterious team of special combat teams.

Today, there is an opportunity to become a special combat team, so all fighters who think they have some skills have signed up for the selection of the special combat team.

As soon as the two-day registration period ended, more than 2,000 of the more than 10,000 soldiers of the 136th Division signed up to participate in the selection.

Looking at the thick list, Deputy Division Commander Liu Dazhu said with a smile: "Division Commander, you see that more than 2,000 people have signed up, or I will also register and participate in the selection." ”

Taking over the list in Liu Dazhu's hand, Zhang Yunfei also jokingly said: "Okay, welcome, Dazhu, you want to come to the special combat team, I will let you be the chief instructor, and take the soldiers to carry out a ten-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country every day." ”

"Then forget it, such a good thing is better to leave it to you, the division commander." Liu Dazhu hurriedly waved his hand.

The political commissar next to him saw Liu Dazhu's appearance, and together with Zhang Yunfei, laughed.

After getting along for so long, Zhang Yunfei and political commissar Fang Zheng and deputy division commander Liu Dazhu have become more and more harmonious and tacit.

In the eyes of political commissar Fang Zheng and deputy division commander Liu Dazhu, the image of division commander Zhang Yunfei is getting taller and taller, although both of them are older than Zhang Yunfei, they are full of respect for Zhang Yunfei from the heart, especially in the past few months, Zhang Yunfei has achieved a series of achievements, which deeply impressed the two.

In the western suburbs of Datong, the selection of the special station team was carried out here, and in this selection, Zhang Yunfei finally did not have to do it himself like the previous two selections, and the selection work was checked by more than a dozen special combat personnel at home.

During the three-day selection, the soldiers who participated in the selection showed their housekeeping skills and did their best in order not to leave regrets for themselves.

However, in the end, there were still a few happy and a few sad, and the soldiers on the selection were naturally jubilant and cheering, and most of the soldiers who failed were depressed, but they secretly made up their minds in their hearts that if there was a special combat team selection next time, they would definitely participate.

After the selection, looking at the soldiers who were standing neatly and energetically, Zhang Yunfei said: "Welcome to become a member of the special combat team, rookies." ”

Looking at the soldiers with blank faces, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the soldiers definitely didn't understand the word "rookie".

So Zhang Yunfei explained loudly: "For you, rookies are garbage and imbeciles. ”

The soldiers finally understood Zhang Yunfei's words, although Zhang Yunfei was the division commander, and the soldiers did not dare to show dissatisfaction and anger, Zhang Yunfei still saw many soldiers breathing rapidly, with unevenness and dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Seeing that his motivation had a certain effect, Zhang Yunfei said in his heart, very good, it seems that his words have played a good role.

"I know that you are not convinced, I know that you all think that you are the top in the army, but I tell you, your current level is still far from the level of special forces, in order to make you a qualified special forces, I will give you three months of hellish training, these three months of hard work will be beyond your imagination, if you want to quit now is still too late."

Zhang Yunfei looked around at the fighters, waited for about a few dozen seconds, and saw that no one came out of the ranks, on the contrary, everyone's faces were resolute, and they all looked confident about the next three months of training.

"Okay, very good, since everyone has confidence, then from now on you are a war machine, no fatigue, no fear, not even emotion," Zhang Yunfei yelled loudly.

After the training, Zhang Yunfei gave a detailed explanation to more than a dozen veteran special combat members, formulated detailed training subjects, and conducted three months of arduous training for these 100 special combat personnel.

In addition to traditional shooting, fighting, off-road, assassination, intelligence espionage, etc., the training content also adds wilderness survival training, driving training, etc.

Most of the more than 100 trucks captured in the last campaign have been repaired, and Zhang Yunfei specially approved 10 trucks for the special combat team for training.

As for the captured tanks and armored vehicles, only five tanks and three armored vehicles were eventually repaired, due to the fact that most of them were too badly damaged.

For the training of the special combat team, Zhang Yunfei still allocated a tank and an armored vehicle for the training of the special combat team.

Although the little devil's tanks and armored vehicles are not very good, the driving principle is similar to other tanks, and it can still be used for training.

The rest of the tanks and armored vehicles were given to the armored brigade for training of its fighters.
