The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1364 Li Yunlong’s Reprint (Second Update)

"Captain..." The operator rushed to Huang Yu with excitement on his face.

"The chief of staff sent an urgent message... They have just taken the initiative to attack in the mountains, combining mobile warfare and ambush warfare, and once again eliminated two squadrons of the Kwantung Army... As of now, the total strength of the Kwantung Army that has been eliminated by the second battalion has exceeded 1,600 people... …”

Huang Yu answered with a smile: "It was a good fight..."

"If I remember correctly, the fifth battalion commanded by Ma Wenshan also had three battles and three victories. It defeated a total of five infantry squadrons and two baggage squadrons of the Kwantung Army, severely damaged three infantry squadrons and two baggage squadrons of the Kwantung Army, and wiped out all the Japanese. The total number is almost 1,800 people..."

"If the Kwantung Army headquarters still doesn't give them a retreat order, then we will continue to slowly waste time with them..."

"Let's see whether we have more time or they have more troops."

After saying that, he turned his attention to Hong Cheng, the commander of the third battalion next to him: "Old Hong... how is the training of the new recruits?"

Hong Cheng was very dissatisfied with the regiment leader's decision to stay at the station to train new recruits. Although he followed the regiment leader's orders to the letter, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Especially after knowing that several other main battalions of the regiment had made a lot of contributions on the front line, I felt even more uncomfortable.

Faced with the question raised by Huang Yu, he answered directly with an unhappy expression: "Those prisoners who were absent from work performed very well. They replenished the troops as soon as they completed a few days of recovery training and have integrated with the veterans in the team."

"Xinyi, who was born out of pure absenteeism, has just learned how to shoot, throw grenades, aim, and some simple tactical actions."

"But it will take a long time for them to integrate these tactical actions on the battlefield."

"I estimate that it may not be able to form combat effectiveness in two months."

Huang Yu was not satisfied with the result and continued to ask: "Are there no recruits who can be trained faster?"

"Yes, there are, but not many..."

"If we pull them all out, there will only be about a hundred people...but it will still take a month for them to initially form combat effectiveness."

Huang Yu knew that Hong Cheng wanted to join the war to fight the Japanese.

But with so many new soldiers stationed in need of training and a reclamation camp set up, it would definitely not be enough to leave him alone as a bare-bones commander.

It is necessary to leave a main battalion to cooperate with the battalion commander in his actions.

In addition, the third battalion happened to be at the station, and it was the battalion with the smallest number of troops and the weakest strength in the whole regiment. If he didn't stay, who would stay?

But he would not always leave the third battalion at the station to train new recruits, otherwise a good main battalion would sooner or later be destroyed by himself.

Without actual combat and relying solely on training, an army will never become an elite force.

Only by completing a few more actual battles after completing training, will the overall combat effectiveness of the army gradually increase, and eventually it will become an elite division.

Therefore, the third battalion will be sent to the battlefield sooner or later.

But Hong Cheng's current performance makes Huang Yu very dissatisfied.

As a qualified subordinate, whatever tasks his superiors ask him to perform, he just has to do it well.

As a result, Hong Cheng got angry when he encountered a mission he didn't like. Is this the behavior a qualified commander should have?

It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, which is the most basic quality.

Hong Cheng couldn't even do this, and still wanted to show off his temper in front of him, and wanted to choose tasks... He thought he was Li Yunlong...

Huang Yu couldn't stand his temper.

He immediately decided to give him a good beating: "After replenishing the captured soldiers who are absent from work, how many men are left in the third battalion to reach the full strength of 500..."

When Hong Cheng heard Huang Yu's question, he thought the regiment leader planned to let him go to the battlefield, so he quickly replied: "Report to the regiment commander..."

"The third battalion now has more than 350 people, and there are still 150 people short of reaching full strength..." Huang Yu shook his head and replied: "I originally planned to let you pick the 150 best training candidates from among the absentees who are training. Replenish the troops with good recruits, and when they form combat effectiveness, you will be sent to the battlefield..."

"The result is good for you..."

"I actually lost my temper with me because I stayed at the station to train new recruits... Now I have decided to terminate this plan..."

"from now on……"

"An Anwen, let me stay at the station to train new recruits..."

"When will the new soldiers in the station become combat effective? When will I fully replenish the third battalion and arrange combat missions..."

Hong Cheng became anxious upon hearing this.

In some aspects, his temper was exactly the same as that of Li Yunlong. Watching others kill everyone on the battlefield while he was left behind to train new recruits was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

He quickly begged for mercy: "Captain, I was wrong..."

"I will never lose my temper again... I promise to train the troops well..."

"Your Excellency has a lot, can you shorten the training time to one month..."

"I promise to train at least two hundred new recruits within a month. The additional troops will be able to form combat effectiveness..."

Seeing Huang Yu frowning and not answering, Hong Cheng became even more anxious. He rolled his eyes and continued: "Captain..."

"Except for the third battalion..."

"Battle Commander Duan's battalion has been fighting outside the mountains. I heard that two action teams were eaten by the Kwantung Army a few days ago. Their strength should be the smallest among the five main battalions of the regiment..."

"How about exchanging the first battalion for the third battalion in a month's time."

"They are in urgent need of new recruits to replenish their troops, and they just happened to return to their base. While restoring the combat effectiveness of the troops, they are helping the regiment training new recruits..."

Huang Yu did have the idea of ​​bringing Duan Peng back.

In his opinion, letting Duan Peng be the commander of the main battalion is too unqualified. The position he should stay in is the captain of the commando team.

Previously, the northward detachment had no conditions, so it could only force him to serve as the commander of the first regiment and first battalion.

Now that the Northward Detachment has its own base, the total strength of the army is likely to exceed 10,000 people soon. Although the overall combat effectiveness is several levels behind the Kwantung Army, it has at least created a perfect start in the Northeast.

In this case, you can completely re-establish the commando team.

Moreover, the Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and the Kwantung Army has never seen special tactics. Setting up a commando team to deal with them at this time may have some unexpected effects.

Seeing that although Huang Yu didn't answer immediately, there was a clearly moved expression on his face, Hong Cheng seized the opportunity and continued to propose: "Two hundred and fifty people..."

"Regiment Commander, I promise to train 250 new recruits within a month, 150 people to supplement the third battalion, and 100 people can be left at the regiment headquarters..."

Huang Yu finally relented and said, "Then give you a month..."

"After completing the training mission, I will allow you to exchange Duan Peng with the First Battalion once the troops are fully replenished."

"If you can't complete the training mission, just stop and stay at the regiment headquarters to train the new recruits. If I hear about your kid losing his temper again, don't be a battalion commander. Just become a company commander."

"Thank you, leader..."
