Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of February. The reorganized team had also been training for a while. On the 27th, Li Yuexuan called Tian Chuan and several other captains of the special operations team to the small conference room to discuss things with them.

After taking a sip of water, Li Yuexuan spoke first: "Recently, our detachment has been reorganized and has undergone major changes, so we have not sought your opinions. You see, Jiang Daquan, who was with you at the beginning, is now a deputy commander. Regardless of your personal abilities or military exploits, it is not too much to pull you out to become commanders. So, do you have any ideas?"

"Captain, what you said is true. We joined the team to fight the Japanese, not to get promoted or make money. What can we think? Moreover, the more people we bring with us, the greater the pressure we will feel. It would be better if we have fewer people to do things. After all, we can go out to fight at any time. How long has it been since Jiang Daquan saw what the Japanese look like?" Tianchuan said.

"Hehe, I haven't seen what the Japanese look like in a long time..." Li Yuexuan complained to the three people, then looked at Lowe and the others.

"Captain, our special operations team is a fifth-level military unit, the highest level among all teams, with the best benefits. What else do you think? Look, when other teams eat steamed buns made of two-grain flour, we eat steamed buns made of white flour; when other units eat rice, we eat refined rice; when other units eat meat once every three days, we eat it three times a day!"

"Hehe, although our training is very hard, we have the most fighting opportunities! The benefits are so good, bullets are used, and there are many fighting opportunities... Whoever wants to be the leader can do it, I won't go!"

"That's right. The main reason is that there are many opportunities to fight. It's enough to kill more devils. Those who want to get promoted and make money will not come to our team!"

"That's right. Look at how worried I have been these past few days. I already had a bald forehead, and it's gotten even balder these days..."

"Captain, do you have any mission? If so, just tell us. We are ready to go at any time!"

Listening to the captains, Li Yuexuan smiled and said, "What mission can there be? Besides, what mission is worth your participation? Actually, I have an idea, which is to increase the establishment of your special operations team. You are now three teams, each with 81 people. The only one at the team headquarters is Tianchuan with a few signal soldiers and his observers."

"Although you have shown good combat effectiveness, I think it is necessary to give your captain more manpower and add a general team of about 100 people on the basis of the squad. When the time comes, Tianchuan will lead the general team, and the three of you will each lead a squad. Whether it is a large-scale battle or a small-scale battle, you will have more troops to deal with it. What do you think?"

"Add a general team?" Tianchuan's expression brightened when he heard this. To be honest, after the division into three teams, Tianchuan had fewer people under his command. Although all three teams were under his command, when there were some missions that did not require so many people, he could only watch the three teams disperse to fight, and he could only wait behind.

If what the captain said is true, and a general team is added above the three teams, then he will be the direct commander and he can lead people there when there is a mission.

"I strongly agree to establish another team!" Tian Chuan replied quickly after thinking so much in the blink of an eye. "What about you? What do you think?" Li Yuexuan looked at Luo Wei, Bai Dashan, and Ding Haixin.

"We have no objection and agree to add a general team! Captain, can you add an artillery group to our squad's 60 mortars? The last time we went to fight in the south, we felt that the firepower of one artillery group was a bit weak." Lowe wanted to raise this suggestion a long time ago, but when he came back, he encountered a major reorganization, first the local area and then the army, so he never mentioned it.

"Okay, let's talk about the things one by one!" Li Yuexuan nodded and continued, "Let's talk about the headquarters first. Since you agree, then it's decided. I'll call the military sub-district later and ask our Captain Zhao to give an order to the entire military sub-district, allowing you to pick anyone to train."

"As for the equipment issue? Okay, each of your three squads will be equipped with an extra 60mm mortar! But you have to think about it. A squad of 81 people, 4 combat squads, a squad headquarters, an artillery group, and one more artillery group will reduce your front-line combat personnel."

"Captain, I think we can do it the same as before. We, the squad leaders, will assign the frontline combat tasks to the combat squads, and then we will lead the remaining 20 soldiers ourselves. The two artillery groups can be assigned at will, and the artillery will also have combat personnel to protect them! Aren't we going to set up a headquarters? We also need to select some backbones from the three squads to join the headquarters, and these vacancies can just be filled by the artillery."

The person who spoke was Lowe. From what he said, we could tell that he had already thought of a solution, so he spoke out the solution right away.

"In that case, let's do it this way. I'll write you a note later. You can ask Political Commissar Cui to sign it, and then you can go get the new 60mm mortars! Get the equipment first, and we can arrange the rest together when we train the corps. For the 100 people in the corps, we can arrange five 5-man combat squads and three artillery groups. What do you think?"

"That's fine. The headquarters has one more combat squad and one more artillery firepower point than us. If our special forces team acts together, that means we have 9 60mm mortars, which is more than enough firepower!" said Bai Dashan.

"Okay, then it's settled! While our Beishan detachment and the three local regiments are in training, you can go recruit people! I'll give you half a month to recruit people, and you can train with peace of mind after you come back. Before July of this year, there shouldn't be too many combat missions for us, so you can train with peace of mind, or you can replace training with actual combat, such as looking for trouble with the surrounding strongholds."

"Captain, I heard that the headquarters made such arrangements for us, probably because they will give us big tasks in the future. Is that true?" Tianchuan asked.

"How can I guess the headquarters' arrangements? However, no matter whether there will be any major operations in the future, we should try our best to improve ourselves! There is a saying that goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Let's train ourselves well first, and when our combat effectiveness is stabilized and improved, there will naturally be battles for us!"

"Anyway, as long as we don't collapse, there will be plenty of battles for us to fight in the future! It's just that at this time, the situation outside is a little delicate, and we are not suitable for fighting big battles, so we can only fight small battles. But a small battle is still a battle, right? For example, their independent regiment has fought a lot of small battles during this period, and has expanded its base by dozens of miles."
