Even if the headquarters of the front army and General Gangcun finally made up their minds to leave Qingshui's special operations wing in the mountains as a nail wedged into the base area of the Eighth Road, and the food, ammunition, and materials could be solved, Shimizu still had a headache, that is, whether his subordinates could accept this dangerous task.

When the special operations wing was first formed, because of the requirements for the quality of personnel in special operations, all soldiers who had fought in the Chinese theater for more than three years were selected, and in addition, these soldiers were basically veterans who had served for five years, and many of them even served for six or seven years, while all officers had served for more than 10 years.

The special operations wing is not a containment team, nor is it a second-line unit guarding the artillery tower in the occupied area, and the veterans who are transferred to the special operations wing are all veterans with rich combat experience, and they are also all veterans who are familiar with the combat characteristics of the Chinese people, especially the soldiers transferred from the 110th Division, the 36th Division, the 27th Division, and other units that have been fighting in North China and the Eighth Route Army for a long time.

And Shimizu Dazuo is the same as these veterans, after this battle, the soldiers who have served beyond the time limit will be rewarded for retirement, these veterans who have left home for five to seven years, what medals or something to give are nonsense, and being able to retire home is the biggest temptation!

The army of the devils is not a rabble, nor is it a conscription that has been a soldier and fought until death no matter how many years it takes, and there is still a relatively strict military service system.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, Japan's military service system was a conscription system, and all citizens had the obligation to serve in the military. Young men aged 18~20 are required to serve in the First National Service, which is actually a preparatory stage before active duty, during which they receive irregular military training to prepare for active service.

Those who pass the medical examination at the age of 20~25 must serve on active duty. The term of active service is five years, divided into two phases: the first year is called the first year of military service, during which the service member learns the combat techniques and combat movements necessary for a soldier. In order to participate in combat training of squads, platoons, and companies.

In the second year of service, the main purpose of the service is to further consolidate the various combat skills learned during the first year of military service, and at the same time to further master various combat techniques and combat movements, as well as the application of these combat skills in large-scale military exercises. During this period, it is also necessary to be familiar with the various operational rules and be able to apply them in exercises of various scales.

At the end of the two-year active duty period, the service member can return home and be employed. But this does not mean that active duty has been lifted. But in the remaining three years, when the state needs it, as long as the state issues a call-up order, it must immediately report to the company.

After the expiration of the five-year active duty service, if the country is okay and is not called up, the service personnel must also return to the company for training again. The main task of this stage is to review the combat skills that have been mastered, and to learn new tactical moves and new combat skills. After three weeks of training, the serviceman can be transferred to the reserve.

Whenever there is an incident in the country, when the reserve is mobilized. Reservists must report to the company as required. The reserve service is eight years, and at the end of the eight years, they must return to their original company for another three weeks of training before being transferred to the reserve. Reserve service is also eight years, in general. It is basically impossible to be drafted into the army when it comes to the reserves, after all, it is older. However, it is more likely that the reserves of the technical arms will be re-recruited, and it is not surprising that veterans of the grandfather generation will appear. At the end of the reserve period, they are transferred to the Second National Service.

Before China and Japan officially declared war on the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese Army had 23 divisions and regiments, with about 300,000 soldiers on active duty. Half of them are junior soldiers, and half are second-year soldiers. If all active and reserve forces are mobilized. It is possible to recruit as many as 13 times the number of soldiers in the early years, and these are well-trained soldiers, about 2 million people.

It can be seen from this that Japan's military service system is relatively tight, the reserve forces are more prepared for mobilization, and the officers and men are deeply influenced by the spirit of militarism, chauvinism, and bushido. The fighting skills and fighting spirit of the Japanese officers and men are second to none in Asia. The core theory of operations is to emphasize offense.

The main style of attack is frontal containment, roundabout outflanking, and trying to avoid frontal assault to reduce casualties. Pay attention to hand-to-hand combat in white-knuckle warfare, and attach importance to carrying forward firepower. Especially crossfire. Before the charge, the Japanese usually had to prepare for fire, and the basic formation of the infantry was a skirmish. These basic skills can be mastered by ordinary junior soldiers. Therefore, compared with the "snatched" soldiers such as raff and strong men in the squadron, the combat skills and fighting spirit of the Japanese army can be said to be divided between heaven and earth.

Shimizu Daisa's promise to these veterans is a combat mission for half a month to about a month, and these veterans can get their discharge certificates before the winter comes, as well as some of the money he Shimizu got as a personal gift and go home, how can he tell these soldiers who still think they are going home that they will stick to this place for a winter?

And what kind of military service system did Yang Bangzi's Eighth Route Army implement? Strictly speaking, at this time, there was no such thing as a military service system for the military armed forces at all levels under the leadership of our party, and if it had to be defined, it could be divided into the voluntary military service system, that is, those who joined the army were all willing to serve in the army for a long time.

Looking back now, those who joined the army during the Red Army period were partly because of the Soviet power that was established, and they fought the local tyrants to divide the land, and naturally they had the obligation to protect the fruits of victory after dividing the land.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army, which went deep behind enemy lines, developed armed forces in their respective territories, and those who joined the army were local people, who guarded their wives and children at the door of their own homes, and they didn't even have to do ideological work in depth, and they all knew that they joined the army to fight with little devils, which would be regarded as a volunteer military service system.

This soldier, with little or no military salary, not much to eat, and no one is disgusted with tattered clothes, I remember that the Americans came to visit the base area and asked the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, why did they join the army? People replied, who will fight devils if they don't join the army? This is the consciousness of ordinary people.

If you are any other person, everyone will call your family, and you are still entangled in the question of how much money to join the army, isn't that? Defend your own home and use other people's money!

How long is the service? This is not answered accurately, anyway, it will be over if the little devils are driven out of China! Of course, after the little devils surrendered, a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were demobilized, but the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party soon broke out, and a large number of ordinary people in the liberated areas were conscripted, and the voluntary military service system was still implemented, and this military service system was not implemented until the 55th year when the regime was completely stabilized.

At its peak, Yang Bangzi's 20th Regiment was nearly 4,000 horses, more than 90% of which were soldiers in the Yiman Lailing area, and within a radius of 100 miles was the main source of recruitment, and the grassroots political power of our party in the countryside that has been established in these villages, the most important work outside organizing agricultural production and supporting the front is to send soldiers to the troops.

If it weren't for the order given to the whole sub-district in the name of the military sub-district, the seventy or eighty thousand ordinary people heard that there was a group of devils who occupied the horse post, and they were all going to participate in the war, and Yang Bangzi would not let them come, like the militia on the other side of Shuibao Township, who was fierce, and pouted, saying that in the slack season, being idle is also idle, how good it is to fight devils!

The devil is ripping the skin, Yang Bangzi is sleeping, the snow is covering the mountain, those who want to go can't go, and those who want to beat it are not good under their feet, so everyone tacitly is dozens of miles apart, guessing what the other party wants to do?

Two days after the snow stopped, just when Shimizu Daisa was about to use the emergency rations, he finally waited for the good news, whether it was stationed or retreated, the plane was coming to airdrop supplies!
