Chapter 163: Picking Troops

"Captain!" The next day, I found Head Liu.

The reason was that I had to pick troops in the 40th Division...... It's okay if this is in other troops, anyway, there is Commander Zhang's order, and I can really pick as much as I want. But the 40th Division is my old army, so I can't get over it if I go up and pick out the soldiers of the 40th Division.

So I found the regiment commander first...... The reason for looking for a regiment commander instead of a division commander is that it is the most taboo in the army to skip the level and report to the ...... If I don't look for the regiment commander first but go directly to the division commander, the regiment commander will think in his heart: "These wings are stiff, don't take me as the regiment commander in his eyes!" ”

I still know a little bit about these things, so the first person I looked for was the regiment commander, and I also invited Battalion Commander Luo by the way, just like I used to talk to them.

"Yo! It's early today! When Head Liu saw us walk in, he warmly invited us to sit down: "What? Camp Commander Yang doesn't need to train you today...... Synthesis camp? ”

"Look at what the head of the regiment said!" I replied with a smile: "Isn't my synthetic battalion the regimental commander's synthetic battalion?" ”

"Huh?" The head of the regiment looked at me unexpectedly and said, "That's not right...... I said Camp Commander Yang...... How to ...... today Wrong wrong...... Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief! What kind of bad idea are you? ”

I couldn't help but be shocked, I couldn't see that this head Liu was still an understanding person.

But where will he admit it: "Look at what the head of the regiment said, I ...... Where else would there be any crooked ideas, I am ...... I thought of how to deal with the more devils! I'm here to discuss with you......"

"Hmm!" The head of the regiment raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you thought of a way?" Let's talk about ......"

"That's right!" I said: "There are two main directions in the tactics of the Yue devils during this period, one is special operations. This is used in the second line or rear of our army. Its main purpose is to strike at the supply and command branches of our army. So as to achieve the purpose of destroying the morale and supply of our army. In this regard, I think we should start from two aspects, one is to do a good job in the internal defense work of our army, and the other is to carry out special operations against the Vietnamese army......"

"A special operation against the Vietnamese army as well?" Hearing this, Regiment Commander Liu and Battalion Commander Luo couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's right!" I said: "Something like special operations can't be prevented by blindly guarding against it, because they are stinging in the shadows and waiting for the opportunity, and once our troops make a mistake or show a flaw, they will seize the opportunity to retreat with one blow as quickly as possible, so unless our army does not make a mistake." Otherwise, there will always be a time when the Vietnamese army agents will succeed. So we can only say that we can reduce the chances of success for the Vietnamese agents, and on the other hand, build up our own special forces to fight the enemy's morale and supplies, and treat others in their own way! ”

"Makes sense!" Regiment Commander Liu nodded: "This is a kind of offense instead of defense, if we can make the Vietnamese army anxious, its agents will naturally destroy us less!" ”

"But this force will be a little special!" I said: "Because this unit often has to go deep behind enemy lines to carry out sabotage activities, it requires that the members of the unit be of high quality, respond quickly, and try to select elite soldiers!" ”

"That's fine!" Regiment Commander Liu said: "There are so many soldiers in our army, will we not be able to pick out a single elite soldier?" ”

"On the other hand, it's sniper combat!" I said, "This is used on the front line, and I think it's the next step in stratification...... Because it is mainly based on sniper warfare, I think we should build a sniper force to suppress the snipers of the Vietnamese army. In this way, we can fundamentally attack the layered excavation tactics of the Vietnamese army! ”

"But ......" Battalion Commander Luo quickly asked: "...... that gun"

"Don't worry about this!" I said: "The higher authorities have agreed to assign sniper rifles to our troops, and our army has made great progress in copying sniper rifles. It won't be long before the troops will be equipped in batches! ”

"That's good news!" Hearing this, Regiment Commander Liu and Battalion Commander Luo couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"This unit must be composed of soldiers with excellent marksmanship and observation!" I said, "Specifically for Vietnamese snipers!" ”

"That's not a problem either!" Commander Liu said: "There are so many sharpshooters in our troops......"

Speaking of this, Regiment Commander Liu couldn't help but say "Huh", then his face changed, and he asked, "What are you talking about 'our troops'...... Is it your synthetic battalion or my 118th regiment? ”

"Commander, this ...... Isn't it the same? ”

"I knew it wasn't going to happen!" Commander Liu's angry fingers clicked in front of me: "You are here to ask us for soldiers!" ”

"Captain! Haven't I come to consult with you? ”

"It's not negotiable!" Regiment Commander Liu immediately said a word: "You have picked all the good soldiers of our troops, this is a special force and a sniper unit, how do you let us fight in the future?" Just disband us! ”

"Commander, don't worry! Hear me out first......" I continued, "Here's what I think...... First of all, our synthetic battalion is the ...... of the 118th regiment"

"That's just in name!" Head Liu said: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng, I have a bad story ahead...... Our friendship is friendship, and doing so will cost us our lives, and I won't agree to anything! ”

I can understand Commander Liu's reaction, after all, it is wartime, and the quality of the troops is generally not high, so good soldiers are treasures and backbones for the troops...... If all the good soldiers are withdrawn, it means that it will deal a serious blow to the combat effectiveness of the troops, and it also means that it may bring great casualties and honor losses to the troops, so no matter how many personal friendships there are, it is useless.

But Regiment Commander Liu didn't know that I came to discuss with him because of my personal relationship and because of the old army, otherwise...... Commander Zhang solved it with an order.

Besides...... The biggest problem of the troops in this era is that they are too mediocre and bloated, and the total number of troops is several million, but the quality is generally not high.

Just from the perspective of Head Liu...... The first thing to protect is the honor of our troops, and as a soldier, of course, I understand this.

"Captain!" Seeing that Regiment Commander Liu was angry, I stopped beating around the bush and said, "To tell the truth, this is not what I meant, but Commander Zhang's order!" But if you can trust me, Yang Xuefeng...... I, Yang Xuefeng, am also a soldier of the 118th Regiment, and I have also been born and died with Battalion Commander Luo and you, and I will never do anything unfavorable to the troops. Listen to me first, if you still can't do it...... I immediately reported to Commander Zhang, saying that I couldn't find a suitable soldier in the 40th Division, and I had to go to another unit to pick people! ”

As soon as Commander Liu heard me say this, he was speechless, and after a long while, he nodded: "Tell me about ......."

"I'm really here to pick up troops from the 40th Division now!" I said, "But this is not to take the soldiers away, but more to train, to train and experiment...... In the future, we will take these soldiers to the battlefield with the 40th Division to see if our training methods are correct and whether we can deal with the devils, and then it will be promoted throughout the army...... Even these soldiers have to cooperate with the soldiers of the 40th Division, such as the sniper unit...... They had to be dispersed into the troops in small groups of two. Captain, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing? ”

As soon as I said this, Head Liu couldn't help but be stunned.

"Captain!" At this time, Battalion Commander Luo interjected: "On the surface, this is indeed to pick out a group of our good soldiers, but in fact, isn't it still fighting with us?" Even the number of the troops is ours...... And if these trainings are effective, then our troops will be the first to benefit! ”

There's no need to know about this...... These soldiers selected are all from the 40th Division, so they will naturally have feelings for the 40th Division, and they will communicate frequently in peacetime battles, so it is natural to drive the quality of the entire army. Besides, our synthetic battalion is also hung with the number of the 40th Division, so it will not only not harm the honor of the 40th Division, but will be beneficial...... So if you think about it carefully, it's only good and no harm.

"Captain!" Zuihou I added another fire to the dry wood and said, "If you still don't agree...... Then I'll make a report to Commander Zhang right away, and I think other troops still want me to go to their place to pick up troops......"

"Gotta ...... Say a few words to you and you'll lose your temper! The regiment commander interrupted me and said, "I'll go to the division commander and see what his opinion is, if nothing else...... Pick it up tomorrow! ”

"Yes!" With the words of Head Liu, I knew that it was not a big problem, so I finally let go of a concern.

Unexpectedly, the head of the regiment added a sentence later: "But don't pick too hard!" ”

"Don't worry, Captain!" I said, "Maybe I'll pick a little bit more at the beginning and kick back if I don't train......"

"Are you using our 40th Division as a garbage heap or what?!"

"How dare you?" I said, "But the captain...... I want to ask you for someone! ”

"Who?"

"That's ......," I then set my eyes on Battalion Commander Luo.

Battalion Commander Luo couldn't help but half-open his mouth and said, "Me? ”

Of course, it was Battalion Commander Luo...... When I was still under Battalion Commander Luo, I knew that he had good marksmanship, and he had a cool head and a very good command ability, so I was lacking someone to command the sniper troops.

The only thing that makes me feel a little unhappy is that Battalion Commander Luo used to be my superior, and now I don't know if I can adapt to it if I want to become my subordinate...... But then again, this is still a common thing in the army, didn't Scar and I also transfer from this relationship at the beginning, and after a long time, I naturally got used to it.

Seeing this, Captain Liu couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred for me, and he almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You kid, just now I asked you not to pick too hard!" (To be continued......)
