Chapter 534 The Recruitment and Expansion of the Independent Regiment
According to the tacit division of the fighters within the independent regiment.

If the company is used as an independent combat force, the independent regiment is now divided into six echelon companies.

It's like a six-story building.

This first floor is naturally the recruit company.

After you complete the training tasks of the recruit company, you can be officially assigned to the main combat company of each battalion, which is the company of the second echelon.

If you can stand out in the main company, then you can join the sharp knife company in the battalion, which is the third echelon company.

The Independent Regiment now has five battalions under its jurisdiction, a total of five sharp knife companies, and the total number of places is only 700.

Calculated according to the strength of the entire regiment of the Independent Regiment, there can only be one soldier in ten soldiers who is the elite of the Sharp Knife Company.

After passing the sharp knife company as the third echelon.

After going through layers of selection, those who performed outstandingly in military training, performed well in actual combat, and even made military exploits.

Finally, if you are taken by the company commander of the guard company, that is, Monk Wei, the guard of the regiment leader, you can smoothly join the fourth echelon of the guard company.

Later, if you can still stand out in the guard company, you can join the assault company of the fifth echelon.

The assault company is the reserve of the ace combat squad of the independent regiment - the commando.

When the commando team needs to expand in size, Ye Min, the deputy captain of the commando team, will select the top fighters from the commando company to join the commando team and become members of the commando team.

Kong Jie's arrangement is, on the one hand, to make the best use of people and fight efficiently. A combat group composed of fighters with different abilities will undertake different combat tasks, so as to exert a stronger combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, it is also to encourage the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

Soldiers have faith in their hearts, yearn for glory, work hard for glory, and fight for glory. This is the most lasting stamina.

And what is the commando team?

As the ace elite combat team recognized by the entire independent regiment, this team is almost a living legend in the ears of the soldiers.

This team is mysterious, powerful, and full of glory.

How strong is it?

The soldiers rumored that no matter whether it was the enemy-occupied area or the Kuomintang-controlled area, as long as the commando comrades wanted to go, no one could stop them.

From the beginning, no one was injured, and a surprise attack on more than a dozen Japanese strongholds overnight,

To cooperate with the cavalry company to surprise the Japanese army's transportation hub Quxian.

To blow up the Devils Mingbao Airport!
Not long ago, the Japanese army launched an attack on the Independence Regiment, with more than ten brigades, making a surprise attack for more than ten miles, and taking out the Devils United Headquarters in one fell swoop!

This time, in the eyes of the conventional combat troops, it seems like a fantasy record to achieve, but it has repeatedly appeared in the hands of the commandos.

In the words of the soldiers who were impressed by it:
"If the defense of Taiyuan City is slack, the first to destroy the devil's army headquarters and capture Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi, must be the commando!"

It is said that the first commando captain of this special operations force, which was basically formed and trained by the regiment leader Kong Jie, was the regiment leader himself.

... "So, this independent regiment commando can be said to be the most mysterious and powerful combat force in our entire Eighth Route Army.

The head of the regiment directs.

Usually Shenlong sees the head but does not see the end.

In terms of equipment and resources, the regiment leader prefers, and the whole regiment has to follow the commandos first.

Tell me, can ordinary people enter this place?

The five or six thousand soldiers of the Independent Regiment, and even the Eighth Route Army soldiers around our Taihang base area, all of them squeezed their heads and wanted to drill in. To become a member of the commando team is definitely the highest among our soldiers. glory! "

The entrance of Niukou Village.

A middle-aged man wearing an Eighth Route Army cap, an Eighth Route Army gray uniform, and a pair of cloth shoes introduced him to his surrounding partners vividly.

Not far away, a handsome young man with a firm face saw the middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army and asked, "Brother, I heard you say that this commando seems to have seen it with your own eyes. You are an independent regiment." fighter?"

The middle-aged man immediately patted his chest and said, "That must be done."

A voice beside him said mercilessly: "Old Wu, don't brag, come here this time, let's talk about whether Captain Kong wants us or not!"

The middle-aged man called Lao Wu, named Wu Sanpao, was originally a soldier in the local county brigade. This time he heard that the Independence Regiment was recruiting, so he came here specially.

Originally, Wu Sanpao, as a soldier of the county brigade, was under the jurisdiction of the local county party committee. If the regular combat troops of the Eighth Route Army needed to be supplemented with soldiers, it was quite possible that the soldiers from the county brigade would be added to the regular combat troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Not to mention that Wu Sanpao is still a soldier with outstanding military skills and a flexible mind in the county brigade.

Usually when fighting in the county brigade, he performed very well.

But Wu Sanpao knew that the current situation of the independent regiment was strong and strong, and there might not be many times when it really needed to replenish soldiers.

I am afraid that Commander Kong will not directly reach out to the local county brigade and district squad to weaken the local armed forces.

So Wu Sanpao, who has always wanted to join the independent regiment and fight with the regular army, couldn't wait.

After hearing that the Independence Regiment had recruited troops in Niukou Village this time, Wu Sanpao hurriedly greeted the leaders of the county brigade and ran over.

Facing the ridicule from his companions who came with him, Wu Sanpao said solemnly: "I am such a good soldier, how can Commander Kong look down on me? Just wait and see, I will definitely be able to join the independent regiment smoothly."

After that, the partners beside him burst into laughter again.

After the laughter, each of them showed determination in their eyes again.

"Old Wu is right. We came here this time from the local county brigade. If we can't compare with these young people, it would be a shame!"

The young man who asked the question looked at Wu Sanpao and said, "Brother, I still want to hear you talk about the commando team of the Independent Regiment."

Wu Shanpao glanced at the young man, and said cheerfully, "Boy, what do you want to know about the commando team?"

The young man said: "I came to the Independence Regiment to be a soldier. My mother said, either I don't want to be a soldier, or I have to be the strongest and best soldier. When I heard you talk about the commando team, I was very impressed. , I thought about it, if I were to be a soldier, I would be a soldier of this commando!"

After Wu Sanpao and his party heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then laughed even harder, each of them laughed so hard that they couldn't even straighten their waists.

Wu Sanpao patted the young man's shoulder and said cheerfully, "Little brother, it's a good thing to have a dream, but if you think too far, it won't be realistic."

"Do you know how difficult it is to join the independent regiment and the commando?"

The youth shook his head.

Wu Sanpao said: "Let me tell you this, the Independence Regiment must have thousands of people, but the number of commandos is estimated to be only a few dozen, and at most it will not exceed 100 people."

"Even those of us veterans who have worked in the county brigade for several years have to start from the recruit company when we first join the independent regiment."

"The regular combat troops of the Independence Regiment are directly engaged in head-to-head battles with the elite devils. They are completely different from our small-scale troops."

"You want to go from recruits to commandos, there is still a long way to go!"

The surrounding men also laughed.

"That's right, this little comrade thinks far ahead and has a big heart. Who doesn't want to go to the commando place? We still want to go in!"

"How many veterans have no chance, let alone we haven't joined the independent regiment yet!"

The young man smiled and said no more, but made up his mind more and more.

Now that you have made up your mind to join the independent regiment, you have to go to the commando team.

But who is this young man?
It turned out that it was during the April [-] raids (spring raids) launched by the Japanese army before, when the independent regiment used the tactic of changing homes to attack the devil Yangquan, the young man Shen Quan, the second battalion commander, had seen in Yangquan——Duan Peng.

At that time, Duan Peng also helped Shen Quan fight the devils.

Moreover, he showed an extremely stable mental quality and excellent combat talent in the first shot, and killed two devils in the battle.

I remember that Shen Quan was interested in talents at that time, and invited Duan Peng to join the independent group, but Duan Peng politely refused because "there is still an old mother to take care of at home".

Shen Quan didn't insist anymore, but just told Duan Peng that if he wanted to join the Eighth Route Army, he could go to Niukou Village to find an independent regiment.

Later, when he returned to the regiment, he was busy with military affairs, so Shen Quan also forgot about it.

Kong Jie has always wanted to find Duan Peng.

It was only according to the history in Liangjian World that it was not until four or three years later, when Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei joined forces to make trouble in Heyuan County, that they officially met Duan Peng and brought Duan Peng back to the independent group.

Kong Jie also sent someone to inquire about Duan Peng in Heyuan County, but they were unable to find him.

It turned out that during this period, Duan Peng and his mother lived in Shouyang County.

The last time Duan Peng went to Yangquan to do business, he happened to run into Shen Quan who just led his troops into Yangquan.

After Duan Peng politely rejected Shen Quan's invitation, it didn't take long for the name of the independent group to spread to the ears of Duan Peng and his old mother again and again.

First came the sweep, the Independence Regiment directly repelled tens of thousands of Japanese troops.

Later, Duan Peng heard that the Independence Regiment even took down Ping'an County.

How big was the impact?
Even the traitors and puppet soldiers in the county town who used to yell at Duan Peng and other small food vendors on weekdays all acted like men with their tails between their legs. They were eradicated by fighters from the Independent Regiment who had penetrated into the county.

The anti-rape operation of the independent regiment martial arts team has long been famous.

Facts have proved that hiding in the county seat may not be very effective. Many big traitor leaders were found hanged on the beams of their houses the next day.

All of a sudden, the traitors in the county were panicked, and the independent regiment was victorious in military operations.

It's no wonder that the traitors and puppet soldiers who worked for tigers no longer dare to be arrogant and domineering.

From the bottom of their hearts, the people are more and more supportive of the independent group.

"Son, since you were a martial artist in elementary school, this skill can't be wasted. I heard that the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army is very good at beating devils. You should join the army too. Serve well as a soldier and fight devils. You are worthy of your dead father."

Duan's mother, who had heard about the name of the independent group beating devils, suddenly said to Duan Peng one night.

Duan Peng shook his head like a rattle, "Mother, I'm not going anywhere, I still want to stay by Mother's side to take care of you until your death!"

"Promise!" Duan's mother was furious, and reprimanded: "Could it be that being a soldier and beating devils can't kill your old lady? Don't tell me the children of the independent regiment who beat devils don't have mothers anymore?"

In the end, Duan's mother, who was weak but strong-tempered, took a rolling pin and drove Duan Peng out of the house in a daze.

"Mom!" Duan Peng's eyes were red.

Duan's mother scolded: "Mother doesn't have such a worthless son like you, when will you become a soldier of the independent regiment, come back again."

Duan Peng knew his old lady's stubborn temperament, and he was basically in the same line. He immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to his old lady, and said:

"Mom, then I will go to be a soldier. When it is settled there, I will take my mother to enjoy the blessings. I have heard that the life of the villagers in the independent regiment is very good!"

Duan's mother was very relieved when she heard her son say this, and then opened the door again, helped Duan Peng up, and then the earnest old mother said to Duan Peng: "Son, it's fine if you don't serve as a soldier. If you want to be you, you must be the best soldier, kill more devils on the battlefield, and mother will wait for you at home."

"Mother, I remember, you take care of yourself at home, I will come back to pick you up after I settle down."

In this way, Duan's mother prepared a package for Duan Peng, which contained some dry food, water and money.

After Duan Peng cleaned up casually, he packed lightly and went to Niukou Village after inquiring all the way...
