Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 53 Kong Jie's Support

Wang Gensheng's physical fitness improvement also includes his brain.

After all, the human brain is also a part of the body, so it will naturally be strengthened. This is not the case as Wang Gensheng kills more and more enemies.

The brain is becoming smarter and smarter, not only thinking but also calculating speed is extremely easy.

For example, in the past, Wang Gensheng was unable to complete the multiplication and division of three-digit numbers with his own brain and had to use a piece of scratch paper.

But now, let alone three-digit numbers, even four or five-digit numbers are easy.

Wang Gensheng also has the ability to remember everything he sees, a quality that only geniuses have.

As the strengthening continued, Wang Gensheng suddenly felt as if he had broken through a layer of window paper.

Although the detection range of 40 meters is a bit short, it is still a powerful weapon in street fighting.

Of course, Wang Gensheng believes that the scope of his ability will continue to increase as his physical fitness improves.

"Captain, is there something wrong with our organization? How can there be four companies in one battalion? I think it would be better to have a guard company directly under the regiment!"

Wang Gensheng flatly rejected Kong Jie's proposal to turn his third battalion into a reinforced battalion.

That's right, after Wang Gensheng took over all the bunkers, the number of people in the New Second Regiment increased dramatically. The original organization of the New Second Regiment was three battalions and nine companies, plus a cavalry company directly under the regiment.

But after taking those bunkers, the number of weapons seized, such as Type 38 rifles, was enough to form a company.

Originally, according to Kong Jie's idea, since these weapons were captured by Wang Gensheng when he attacked the bunker, they should be directly placed in the Third Battalion, and the Third Battalion should be made into a reinforced battalion with four companies.

However, Wang Gensheng was not interested in Kong Jie's proposal, because he was now thinking about how to set up his special cavalry company!
So why would we bother to set up a reinforcement camp?
After all, in Wang Gensheng's view, the quality of soldiers is more important than their quantity. A well-trained special cavalry company can often play a stronger role on the battlefield than a regiment of thousands of people.

For example, now Wang Gensheng's energy is basically focused on how to train the cavalry company, and his third battalion is basically under the management of three company commanders.

Even to allow the cavalry company to have enough time to train.

Wang Gensheng also used his power as battalion commander to directly let the soldiers of the third battalion do the farming work for the cavalry company.

That's right, it's farming. You have to know that the Eighth Route Army is not a simple army. It is different from Chu Yunfei's side. Chu Yunfei's supplies, whether it is weapons, ammunition or food, all rely on supply from above.

But it was different for the Eighth Route Army. Except for a small number, most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers’ rations were actually grown by themselves.

For example, after the new second regiment moved into Wangjia Village, they naturally started to cultivate the land in Wangjia Village.

After all, all the villagers in Wangjia Village were slaughtered by the Japanese devils, so the land naturally became desolate and no one cultivated it.

So after the arrival of the New Second Regiment, under the leadership of the regiment commander Kong Jie, the New Second Regiment not only cultivated the land of the original villagers of Wangjia Village, but also reclaimed a large amount of wasteland.

Of course, Wang Gensheng's actions naturally caused dissatisfaction among his company commanders, but Wang Gensheng fought back. After all, when the cavalry company was selected on the spot, it was the entire regiment that was selected. Who made them fail to perform well and not be able to reach the top 100? Kong Jie said angrily about Wang Gensheng's refusal to let his third battalion become a reinforced battalion:

"You're still not happy. I brought you here from the Independent Regiment. Look at how much the First Battalion has been strengthened since Zhang Dabiao, who Li Yunlong brought from the New First Regiment, became its commander!"

That’s right, the reason why Kong Jie strengthened the Third Battalion was not only because these weapons were captured by Wang Gensheng, but also because Wang Gensheng was brought by Kong Jie from the Independent Regiment.

Therefore, from the outside, Wang Gensheng is actually considered Kong Jie's confidant.

Just like the relationship between Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong, it is not just the Eighth Route Army. For example, the same is true for Chu Yunfei over there. The first battalion commander Qian Bojun is the oldest person who has followed Chu Yunfei the longest.

As a result, look at how Chu Yunfei strengthened Qian Bojun's first battalion. There are actually two thousand people in one battalion. You should know that Chu Yunfei's entire 358th Regiment, including the artillery battalion, has only five thousand people!
Of course, it was precisely because of this that Qian Bojun had the idea of ​​surrendering to the enemy, because Qian Bojun felt that even if he surrendered to the enemy, Chu Yunfei, his own men, would not be able to do anything to him.

It’s just a pity that Li Yunlong was watching Qian Bojun covetously. Before he could even surrender to the enemy, he would become meat in Li Yunlong’s mouth.

Of course, if Li Yunlong had not swallowed up the weapons and equipment of Chu Yunfei's battalion of 2,000 people in one breath, Li Yunlong would not have been able to develop eight battalions later.

In response to Kong Jie's somewhat complaining words, Wang Gensheng smiled and said:
"Captain, you know this! I'm fully focused on training my cavalry company right now! How can I have the time to manage so many people? Look at my Third Battalion. I don't even care about them anymore and let my three company commanders manage it on their own! If you add another company, what will happen if there are too many company commanders and conflicts arise?"

Kong Jie looked at Wang Gensheng and said:

"Wang Gensheng, you're training cavalry, and you're actually having them practice climbing! I've never had a chance to ask you, but now's the perfect time. Tell me! What exactly do you want to do?"

When Wang Gensheng heard Kong Jie's question, his expression became serious.
"Captain, do you still remember the battle in Yang Village where the Japanese attacked us from behind at night?"

When Kong Jie heard Wang Gensheng's words, he was stunned at first, then he thought of the Japanese soldiers who climbed up from the cliff behind Yangcun Village and naturally understood Wang Gensheng's intention.

So he said:

"Are you trying to imitate the combat methods of that special unit of the Japanese?"

"Yes! If the Japs can do this, why can't we? They are the Japs' elite, but our cavalry company is not? These cavalrymen are the best selected from the entire regiment! If they can attack our Eighth Route Army headquarters, then why can't we attack the Japs' headquarters?"

Wang Gensheng stated his purpose and plan very straightforwardly, and Kong Jie slammed the table and said after hearing Wang Gensheng's words:

"Great! You have ambition! You have courage! I fully support you. From now on, just focus on training! Your Third Battalion is too busy to take care of you, so I'll take over."

Kong Jie did not suggest that Wang Gensheng be made the cavalry company commander. Instead, he suggested that he help Wang Gensheng take charge of the third battalion. After all, now is not the future.

Military ranks were not popular among the Eighth Route Army, so if Wang Gensheng was directly appointed as a cavalry company commander, it would be a demotion.

But it was different on the Japanese side. For example, the number of people in Yamamoto's special forces was only less than a hundred. If you compare the positions based on the number of people on the Japanese side, Yamamoto Ikki was not even qualified to be a squadron leader.

But what is Yamamoto Ikki's rank? Colonel, a rank that only a captain is qualified to hold.
