Wen San and the others had just settled down when Shang Fang came down with a transfer order. Ordered Wen San and nine others to join the first battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division. Platoon Leader Wen's third platoon leader's position remains unchanged, and relevant military merit awards will be notified separately after the commanders have studied it.
"Don't worry, Platoon Commander Wen, we are treated like the main force here. Your platoon will be directly under the leadership of the battalion headquarters, and I will provide you with soldiers, weapons and ammunition in time." Battalion Commander Yang assured, patting his chest. In order to retain Wen San and others, we must spend a lot of money.
He had already discussed it with the group leader just now. Now several company commanders in the first battalion know their combat capabilities and have brought full-time standard equipment. The company commanders were staring here like eagles, just waiting for the battalion commander to speak.
If this platoon is transferred to the company, it will definitely cause looting by each company, which is not conducive to the unity of the team. In the face of a formidable enemy, the troops must be stable and unite as one to exert strong combat effectiveness.
What can Wen San say about this situation? Unless the commander of the 26th Division is unwilling to release them, they can return to their original unit.
Battalion Commander Yang did not miss his word and transferred all the Sichuan soldiers from each company to form a platoon of 38 people. These people were all recently recruited soldiers, and their transfer did not cause any disturbance.
In terms of equipment, most of the newly transferred soldiers use Chinese-made and Hanyang-made sleeves, which are much better than the old sleeves with smooth rifling.
Each bullet added two base points, which was quite impressive. There was no such treatment at all in the 26th Division. Three boxes of grenades were also distributed. The light machine gun also has two bases, so you don’t have to worry about running out of bullets for the time being.
There are no grenade shells. If you want to use them, you have to go to the Japanese to capture them.
Seeing that these people were all veterans, Wen San was quite satisfied. His platoon was finally full.
After the establishment is stabilized, it is time to reorganize the team. We can't just make random arrangements and be done with it like we did yesterday.
38 people were organized into three squads, with Wen San serving as the platoon leader.
Lao Wan served as deputy platoon leader and squad leader, and Zhang Ergou served as shift deputy. A group of soldiers has a 38-meter gun and a light machine gun, a total of 13 people. Several fighters with good marksmanship were placed in this class, including Pang Dun. This class is a sharp knife in Wen San's hand.
The second squad leader is Ding Ding Mao'er, and Wang Mazi is a very thoughtful man, so he acts as his deputy. There are 12 people in the class and one light machine gun.
Guan Heizi, the monitor of the third class, and Liu Dazhu got along well with him, so he was also assigned to the third class, with a total of 12 people. The two grenade launchers placed here can only be regarded as decorations.
The entire platoon's frame has been erected, but the tacit understanding among the soldiers is definitely not enough. Wen San was going to give them a long training session.
In this regard, we can no longer use the old tactics of the national army. Wen San dug out the memories of his previous life, and first conducted strict team formation and formation training.
"Platoon leader, what's the use of practicing these things? Can you still line up and charge upward during a war?" Many soldiers asked in confusion.
Several squad leaders, including Lao Wan, were not very clear about the true meaning of queue training.
Wen San sneered. If he hadn't had relevant insights decades later, he probably wouldn't have been able to explain why.
"If you want to know the use of practicing queues, then I will tell you today!"
"Practice the formation well to maintain a straight military posture, clean up the military appearance, cheer up the spirit, and improve morale; practice the formation well to follow orders and prohibitions, and resolutely obey the orders of superiors; during battle, we can obey orders, move quickly, enter combat status earlier, and enhance our combat effectiveness. !”
This was all Wen San could think of. Maybe some effects were missed, but it was enough to convince these few soldiers who couldn't read Chinese characters.
Seeing Wen San being so serious and leading the team in training, no one dared to complain. He quickly started training according to the content of the team training in college.
Naturally, there were a lot of jokes during the process. Many soldiers couldn't even tell the difference between left and right, and they looked a bit messy.
However, after half a day, the entire team had taken shape. The queues were much more orderly, the commands were sonorous and powerful, and the mental outlook of the soldiers had also changed significantly.
"This Wen Youcai is really talented!" The battalion commander had been observing Wen San and his team early in the morning. Unexpectedly, after half a day, the momentum of the entire platoon became much stronger.
As soon as the command was given, the sound was loud and murderous!
In the morning, he didn't pay much attention to it. The Sichuan army had always been relatively slow to disperse and the formation was loose. The quality of soldiers also varies, but when desperate, they can really risk their lives and rush forward risklessly.
If this heroic and fearless temperament is fully utilized, it will definitely play a great leading role on the battlefield. When two armies are fighting, the battle is often about morale. When they meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!
"Battal Commander, this platoon is really not simple! Why do you make them directly under the battalion headquarters? Wouldn't it be better to put them in our first company?" The first company commander also came over and looked at them with envy.
"Why should I let you go to the first company? With those equipments, our second company's combat effectiveness can also be raised to a higher level." The commander of the second company was also unambiguous.
"Look at you, what have you become? The regiment commander is still wise and directs the battalion headquarters directly to prevent you from robbing people and breaking your head." The battalion commander laughed and scolded, but he was happy in his heart.
In the morning, I practiced formation, and in the afternoon, I practiced on the battlefield. When practicing the formation, everyone kept muttering in their hearts; when it came to the practical exercises, everyone was no longer tired and full of energy. Each project was performed so well that their eyes were widened.
It has to be said that the combat skills of this group of veterans are quite good. Wen San trained with everyone, and as the platoon leader, he didn't have much advantage. Fortunately, he knows a lot. In the eyes of the soldiers, he can always come up with some weird training content. But after some verification, he found that it can really improve the soldiers' combat effectiveness and battlefield survivability.
Wen San originally wanted to engage in physical training, but the conditions in the army were limited. When a large amount of physical strength was consumed, adequate nutritional supplements were not available. Physical training was meaningless and could easily injure the bodies of the soldiers.
As for physical training, it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time, so we can only give up temporarily.
On the contrary, battlefield survivability is what Wen San values most. In this regard, Wen San could only borrow the memory of the original owner. Although it was useful, it was not comprehensive.
He did not hold a one-note speech, but let everyone speak and brainstorm. These veterans have their own special skills, and with Wen San's encouragement, they are willing to share them with everyone.
Wen San did a lot of work. First, he gathered all the useful things, conducted focused discussions, and eliminated duplication and particularly biased parts. Finally, it was compiled into a booklet and fed back to the soldiers under my command.
The number of literate soldiers was limited, so many of the tasks could only be done by themselves. This also allowed Wen San's actual combat experience to rapidly improve and his grasp of the battlefield situation to be more accurate.
A few days later, Wen San's platoon changed a lot. They just stood there, like sharp knives out of their sheaths, with their sharp edges exposed!
"I really found a treasure this time!" Battalion Commander Yang narrowed his eyes with laughter when he saw this platoon.
