Chapter 886: Graduation from the Qiancheng Special Training Class

At nine o'clock in the morning of the second day when Han Lin came to Qiancheng, the graduation ceremony of the Qiancheng special training class was held in the playground, and all the graduating cadets wore uniforms of all colors, most of them wore the rank of second lieutenant, which was the practice of the intelligence department, and the starting point was relatively high, and a group of outstanding students even started from the rank of lieutenant.

Speaking on behalf of the entire instructor corps of the U.S. Naval Intelligence Agency, Jesses commented on the work of the special training class and the performance of the trainees, affirmed everyone's hard work and perseverance this year, as well as their outstanding performance, and believed that they had met the basic qualities and skills of professional agents.

The eldest prince gave a speech on behalf of the Shancheng government, and specially said a precept that President Jiang was invited to write, giving ardent hopes to the trainees, and also giving a good outlook and expectations.

"The Qiancheng Special Training Class is the second batch of professional agents of the Secret Service who have been trained by experts from the US Naval Intelligence Agency and senior agents of the Yamashiro Government Intelligence Department for a year, and unlike the first batch, you have the most up-to-date professional knowledge and skills from the United States, which is a very high starting point!"

"But I want to tell you, the study of the special training class is just a foundation, and then when you come to work, your colleagues and superiors are your teachers, and the practical exercise is the new classroom, I hope you will guard against arrogance and rashness, put yourself in a correct posture, work steadfastly, apply what you have learned, combine the knowledge and skills you have learned with practice, accumulate experience to improve your comprehensive ability, grow up quickly, and become the pillars of the family and the country!"

"The secret service is one of the intelligence departments of the Yamashiro government, you must always be vigilant against the infiltration activities of the underground party, be loyal to the leader, and be sure to maintain a high degree of consistency with the thoughts of the eldest prince." Han Lin, the head teacher, also made a simple speech.

There are some things that must be said, President Jiang's dictatorship requires a high degree of recognition and loyalty from his subordinates, especially the attitude towards the underground party, that must not be a little relaxed, Han Lin can only obey the general environment of the Shancheng government, anyway, his speech was applauded by the eldest prince with a smile on his face.

On behalf of the Special Service Department of the General Office of the Military Commission of the Shancheng Government, Han Lin expressed his sincere gratitude to the instructor corps for their dedication in the past year, and presented them with beautifully made porcelain tea sets and Qimen black tea as gifts, and the women also received additional stockings as gifts.

Subsequently, the students ascended to the rostrum in groups and received the graduation certificates from Han Lin, the eldest prince and Jesses, and the last procedure was a group photo. The photos were used for archiving and gifting to the American instructors, and the students did not give them to anyone, and keeping the photos was a taboo for intelligence work, even Han Lin himself did not have them.

At noon, all the people in the canteen had a big dinner, killing pigs and slaughtering sheep was very sumptuous, resting in the afternoon, and there was a lively drinking party in the evening, drinking and chatting and dancing.

Especially the female soldiers and female officers, dressed in beautiful clothes and high stockings, it was quite open. When they learned that such a pair of stockings sold for one and a half dollars in the United States and twenty dollars in China, they pulled Han Lin to dance one after another.

"You recommended me to be the guerrilla commander on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi-Anhui border, but I don't know anything about the work of the guerrilla headquarters. Wipe the lipstick marks off your face, these American military women are really open! The eldest prince said with a smile.

"The guerrilla command was formed with the Jinling Intelligence Station of the Special Service Department as the main body, and Jinling at that time could be attacked by the Japanese army at any time, so I withdrew some of the agents and food supplies to Qimen County near Huangshan and established a forward base, which was originally intended to be used to support the underground fighting in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area."

"Later, it was discovered that Qimen County and several surrounding counties were blessed with a unique geographical location, located at the junction of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui provinces, with backward local development, no industrial base, low value to the Japanese army, and very little possibility of attacking, so they recruited outstanding young people to join the army and carry out guerrilla struggle with the Japanese army."

"After strict selection, it was organized into a 1,000-strong assault brigade and two regular guerrilla brigades, with a total of about 3,200 people, and the assault brigade was quite well equipped, equipped with all American Garland semi-automatic rifles, Browning heavy machine guns, and mortars, to be precise, an American armored infantry brigade."

"The weapons of the two guerrilla brigades are gradually being updated, but at least each brigade has a mortar squadron imported from the United States, a firepower squadron composed of Browning heavy machine guns and American submachine guns, which is much stronger than the equipment of the Japanese army in comparison, but the actual combat experience of the troops is lacking. Han Lin thought for a while and said.

"In terms of vitality, it is indeed enough, that is, there are only three brigades, and 3,000 people are at most a reinforced regiment, isn't it a little little?" The eldest prince said.

Either automatic firearms or semi-automatic firearms, equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars, such a vitality intensity is among the top among the millions of troops of the mountain city government, but this number is not very satisfactory, more than 3,000 people in a regiment, can not support the strength of a guerrilla headquarters, according to his ideas, three infantry divisions are about the same.

"We are a guerrilla unit subordinate to the intelligence department, not a regular army that has a hard fight with the Japanese army, and our combat targets are mainly Japanese railways, trains, ships, transport teams, and small units in county towns.

"In my opinion, just to carry out guerrilla warfare in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area, the strength of the three brigades is enough, and if I form too many troops, I don't know what gossip will come out." Han Lin said with a smile.

He dragged the eldest prince to be the guerrilla commander in order to be able to control this force himself, and because the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army of the Military Command Bureau did not obey the command of the theater command, the commander of the third theater Gu was quite dissatisfied, and he specially complained to the commission for this matter.

But the command of the guerrilla headquarters is nominally the eldest prince, and he lent Chief Gu the courage of the bear-hearted leopard, and he did not dare to ask the commission for the command of the guerrilla headquarters, and the eldest prince is also the commander, so it is impossible for him to sit in the headquarters, that is, to put his name on the list, so that he has absolute control.

The guerrilla headquarters has a small number of troops, and the military bigwigs will not look at it, and the troops of a reinforced regiment are just a drop in the bucket in the face of millions of government troops in the mountain city.

However, Han Lin himself believed that with the intelligence support of the special services, its own financial support, and the powerful firepower support of American-style equipment, the troops in this guerrilla zone would certainly be able to continue to make achievements in the sabotage warfare in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area.

As long as the guerrilla zone performs well in the war against Japan, and the eldest son, who is also the guerrilla commander, will be the biggest beneficiary, President Chiang will not let go of this opportunity to create public opinion, and will definitely say that his son has military talent, and as a result, Han Lin will also gain more trust and resources.

"You are right to be cautious, the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army of the Military Command Bureau was sent to the mountain city by the commander of the third war zone to complain, Dai Li's expansion speed is very fast, in March, the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army went to Xiaofeng in the Huzhou area for training, it is said that there are four columns and two action corps, which is the strength of 26 brigades, and there is also a special service brigade and an officer training team, with a total strength of up to 30,000 people."

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the territory of the third war zone, and their regular army and security army add up to more than 300,000 people, and the local food and taxes are difficult to support the huge consumption of the real army, and the loyal and righteous national salvation army also has to conscript and levy food, which is bound to bring greater pressure, and the two sides are constantly arguing, if it were not for the president's support for the loyal and righteous national salvation army, Dai Li would be embarrassed." The eldest prince nodded and said.

After all, the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army is a guerrilla force active in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and their existence at least proves that the Shancheng government is still persisting in the war of resistance in the occupied area, and the special environment also determines the special mode of warfare, which cannot be managed like a regular army.

President Jiang reprimanded Dai Li, asking the Loyal National Salvation Army to obey the command of the Theater Command, and not to conflict with Gu Mosan, and at the same time warned Gu Mosan that the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army is a guerrilla force of a special nature, and the Theater Command cannot restrain too much.
