At the same time, the military headquarters of the 61 st Army announced in a high-profile manner that it would hold a military parade in Datong on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the principal generals of various theaters would be invited to watch the ceremony.

However, secretly, through continuous field training, a large number of elite troops broke away from the large army and assembled at the predetermined location, ready to carry out the new orders of the military headquarters.

On the night of January 13, 1938, Chen Feng saw off the 15 infantry battalions in Jining, and according to the strategic decision made by the military headquarters, these 15 battalions would be sent to 15 cities and counties of Kangbao, Guyuan, Fengning, Chengde, Longhua, Weichang, Chifeng, Karaqinqi, Yangyuan, Weixian, Laiyuan, Lingqiu, Hunyuan, and Tangxian. Relying on the favorable terrain of the locality, the whole people launched guerrilla warfare.

In order to meet the needs of guerrilla warfare, Chen Feng reorganized the battalions. The reorganized battalion has three combat companies, a guard platoon, and a reconnaissance platoon, and the battalion headquarters has a chief and deputy battalion commander and chief of staff, all of whom are major officers. Each combat company has three combat platoons and one fire support platoon, totaling 148 personnel, and the total strength of the battalion is 526 personnel.

In addition, each battalion was armed with 324 rifles, 15 light machine guns, 8 heavy machine guns, 1 anti-aircraft machine gun and 2 60 mortars. In order to solve the problem of replenishing ammunition behind enemy lines, all the weapons and equipment of each battalion were replaced with Japanese-made equipment except for anti-aircraft machine guns, and in addition to a set of tattered peasant clothes, each battalion also had to prepare three sets of military uniforms, one was the standard military uniform of the Japanese army, and the other was the uniform of the Kuomintang Central Army. The other is the gray military uniform of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, Chen Feng also made a promise to the principal officers of each battalion and company, that is, for a period of one year, after one year he would send people to evaluate the combat achievements of each battalion, and as long as they did not stand still, they would be considered qualified, and after passing the qualifications, all officers and men would be promoted to the next level. In addition, if you have the ability to make the rapid development of the army in this year, you will be rewarded. Ten people were pulled, and the soldiers were promoted to squad leaders; Pull thirty people to rise to platoon length; pull a hundred people to be promoted to company commander; Pull 400 people directly to the battalion commander.

In addition, the total strength of each battalion reached 3,000 people, and the unit number was directly upgraded to a regiment. The battalion commander was promoted to the regiment commander. Up to 7,000 people were directly promoted to brigades. The regimental commander was promoted to brigade commander. Reaching 13,000 people, they were directly promoted to divisions, and brigade commanders were promoted to division commanders.

It is more inspiring to be promoted and rich, and besides, after being in the 61st Army for such a long time, all battalion commanders have a bottom in their hearts about the combat effectiveness of this army. Even a hard fight with the most elite field troops of the Japanese army is no problem. Not to mention fighting guerrillas behind enemy lines.

Every once in a while, Chen Feng would take turns to train the battalion and company-level officers under the command of each division and brigade. The training time is sometimes as long as ten days and half a month, and sometimes it is only three or two days. Despite the different lengths of time, the quality of the personnel is also uneven. After all, guerrilla warfare is not an esoteric tactic, and as long as people are not stupid, they can understand the principle, so these troops are not only not exclusive to going behind enemy lines, but are very much looking forward to it.

After sending these troops away, Chen Feng began to prepare for the construction of the 61st Army's own military academy, with the military academy construction order, the hardware facilities are not a problem, but only the instructors and lecturers are not easy to find. The military instructor is good to say, there is no shortage of such talents in the group of people sent by Delixi, many of them are teachers of the former Berlin Military Academy in Germany, plus those officers he personally trained, it should not be a problem to serve as ordinary teachers.

However, military academies are not only the cradle for training officers, but also the places for training political workers and technical skills, and these are the shortcomings of the 61 st Army. After thinking about it, Chen Feng still decided to build the military academy first, don't spread the stall too big, and just open a few majors at the beginning.

After several days of preparation, the 61st Army Officers School opened in Tianzhen, Fengzhen, and Sumushan in the middle of Xinghe. Chen Feng is the principal of the school, and Yang Yi, the chief of staff, is the director of education, in charge of the daily work of the school.

The school consists of eight disciplines: infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineer, staff, radio, military medicine, and special warfare.

There are no classes in the military academy, only the number of the brigade squadron level, so as to indicate that these people may be pulled into the battlefield collectively at any time. In addition to the 800 people in the special operations section, there are 2 squadrons in each discipline with 150 people in each squadron, and the entire military academy has a total of 2,900 people and 88 teaching staff.

When these students were secretly sent to Sumu Mountain, when they saw this beautiful school hidden in the depths of the mountain, everyone was stunned, it was so beautiful.

In fact, it was no wonder that these students were so surprised, even Chen Feng himself was not much better than them when he first saw this school. The school has a total of 8 buildings, 3 training grounds and an underground warehouse, including 2 teaching buildings and 6 dormitory buildings. All the buildings are semi-above ground and half subground, with three floors underground, two floors above ground, and stairs connecting the ground.

The upper two floors of the two school buildings are used for teaching, the lower three floors are the operational center and various laboratories for various battle exercises, and there is also an extremely large library.

Chen Feng personally inspected that this library has a collection of 1.2 million books, including foreign languages, literature, art, humanities and social sciences, life, academics, ancient books, philosophy, tourism, law, religion, history, geography, politics, military, and psychology.

The most important thing is that there are all kinds of war theory books that are now popular in the world's countries, such as the air force war theory of Duhei in Italy, the small army (special forces) theory of Germany, and even the simple armored assault theory.

In addition, there are the most detailed maps of the world in the library, including China, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.

And the most satisfying thing for Chen Feng is the two huge training grounds, one is an open-air ordinary training ground, covering an area of about 300 acres, usually the students have no problem with daily training here, and the training ground is specially treated, the runway is hardened with cement, and the middle is a lawn, which is full of all kinds of training equipment, what logs, oil drums, ladders, barbed wire, mud pits, blood pools, only the unexpected is not here.

On both sides of the training ground were shooting ranges, and the weapons and equipment were all transported by Chen Feng from Daqingshan, which were equipped by the 61st Army or that could be produced by the 61st Army, as well as the standard equipment of the Japanese army, and all the soldiers had to conduct half-hour live-fire training every day, which was an order issued by Chen Feng himself.

The other training ground is the field training ground, which is in the vast forest of Sumu Mountain, and the entire mountain forest is a training ground, which not only has wild boars, hungry wolves, leopards and tigers and other large animals, but also has swamps, cliffs, primeval forests and other special terrain, which is the best training ground for training special forces, with such a training ground, Chen Feng is confident that in the next one to two years or even less time to train a real special combat team.

Although there are some things that cannot be replaced in this era, such as advanced weapons and equipment, and the education level of soldiers, etc., these have limited the development and improvement of special forces. But this era also has an advantage that later generations cannot have, and that is the era itself. Those special forces in later generations were all soldiers in peacetime, and no matter how well they practiced their skills, it was difficult to cover up the disadvantage that these special forces had not been on the real battlefield.

From the level of war, soldiers who have not been on the battlefield, have not been injured, have not seen human blood, and have not killed people are all new recruits, and those special forces in later generations will at most be on the training ground, and no matter how bad they are, they will participate in some exercises or local anti-infiltration operations, etc., and there are almost no real soldiers who have been born and died in the sea of blood.

But this is different, this era is destined to have soldiers on the battlefield, they have to fight to the death with the enemy, either you die or I die. Injuries are commonplace for them, even if they never get up that day, it's normal, and this era is the best training ground for special forces. In later generations, it will take about two years to train a qualified special forces, but in this era, it will take more than a year at most, and actual combat is the best way to train soldiers. Some things may not be successful if practiced a thousand times on the training ground, but maybe once on the battlefield will do.

What's more, the training of soldiers in later generations is talking about death indicators, but there is no such thing here, because everyone is likely to die in the next moment, the so-called death indicators are useless at all, and the special forces trained under such conditions will be more fierce and powerful.

It is not a secret that the military academy is in the 61st Army, but no one knows where this military academy is, and the communication between the military academy and the military department is all connected by secret radio stations, and the password is changed every once in a while.

This year, due to the absence of natural disasters, the grain has achieved a bumper harvest, but because Chen Feng and the 61st Army are strong, a large number of refugees and students have poured into the 61st Army's defense area, which has brought tremendous pressure to the security of the defense area and other aspects, and Chen Feng judged that more refugees will flee here next year, and the pressure on the administration will be even greater, so the construction of the administration is imperative.
