Chapter 1051: Sign up
Special forces, as the name suggests, are units that perform special tasks, and in fact, this type of force has existed since ancient times.
At present, the Chinese army also has this type of special forces, such as special service battalions, special service companies, and pistol teams of various units, which are formed to carry out special tasks.
The officers and men in these units are selected elite soldiers, equipped with the finest weapons, and often used as hole cards on the battlefield, usually in the immediate vicinity of the commander.
And the little devil also summed up his experience on the battlefield, but when he heard the dense barge pistol or the sound of some flower machine guns, he could judge the location of the Chinese army headquarters based on this, so as to carry out surprise attacks or artillery bombardments.
Although there are units such as special service companies in the Chinese army, they are only a little stronger than conventional forces, far less powerful than real special forces, and capable of all-weather and all-area operations.
And Yang Ling has always hoped to form a special force in the true sense, and the Flame Special Combat Team is the prototype of this special force.
But it's easier said than done, and a real special forces force has to select the most elite soldiers, and they have undergone rigorous training.
And now that most of China has fallen, Yang Ling and they have been fighting, ordinary officers and soldiers generally only have about ten bullets to use, not to mention nutritious food, it is good to be able to eat enough.
The formation of special forces requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the massive amount of bullets consumed during training alone is not something that Yang Ling can afford.
Although Yang Ling and the others formed the Flame Special Operations Brigade, they are still far from the real special forces, and in the first battle of Gaoyou, the Flame Special Operations Brigade has suffered a great loss of vitality and has not yet recovered.
Although there are many difficulties, it still does not stop Yang Ling's persistent belief in forming a special force, even if he cuts back on food and clothing, he has to set it up, because he knows that a special force in the real sense is sometimes more powerful than a division.
Moreover, it will not be long before the Wang Jingwei traitor clique will set up a puppet government in Nanjing, and if they can get rid of the head organ of the Wang Jingwei clique, it will be tantamount to a great encouragement to fight the war.
Now that the training is on the right track, the devil is huddled in Gaoyou for the winter, so Yang Ling has also put the matter of replenishing new recruits for the Flame Special Operations Brigade, which has been seriously injured, on the agenda.
In order to be able to recruit the most elite soldiers this time, Yang Ling's recruitment scope was directly expanded to the entire area controlled by the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
Not only are they limited to the organs and units under the command of the Northern Jiangsu General Corps, but also the officers and men of the local armed forces, who are interested in joining the Flame Special Operations Brigade, can choose to sign up.
Of course, this is just an audition, and if you want to enter the Flame Special Operations Brigade, you can't just enter it.
First of all, it is necessary to go through a series of assessments, and once admitted, not only will there be a six-month observation period, but also a thorough background check must be carried out to prevent the mixing of enemy elements.
Although the Flame Special Operations Brigade rarely made a move, it fought with the Devil's Skeleton Special Team in the Battle of Gaoyou, and although they lost both in the end, it was not dishonoring.
And now that the Devil Skull Special Team, the Mainland Advance Team, and the Mashiko Advance Team have been established one after another, it is undoubtedly a challenge to Yang Ling and them, so they also have to speed up the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the special operations forces.
The Flame Special Operations Brigade has a lot of training, and the tasks they perform are also very dangerous, so their treatment is also the best.
In the regular army, the rank of second lieutenant is enough to be a platoon commander, which means that in the Flame Special Operations Brigade, even the most ordinary officers and soldiers are at the level of platoon commanders, and once they are released, the tide will rise.
Wang Dongming was originally a member of the Flame Special Operations Brigade, but now in this round of establishment adjustments, he has been directly promoted to the deputy commander of the third battalion, which is a living example.
After Yang Ling posted a notice to recruit new members of the Flame Special Operations Brigade, the officers and soldiers of the entire Northern Jiangsu Corps were boiling.
But those who are more confident in their skills and strength are eager to try, and want to join the strongest team of the Northern Jiangsu General Team, in their opinion, this is an honor.
"In just two days, there are more than 3,000 brothers in our army who have signed up to join the Flame Special Operations Brigade, and it seems that the enthusiasm of the brothers is very high."
Lei Xiong, the combat staff officer, took the list he got back from the registration office, and he was also very emotional, he didn't expect that so many brothers wanted to enter the Flame Special Operations Brigade.
"That's for sure, the treatment of the Flame Special Operations Brigade is good, except for training on weekdays, it is training, there is no need to patrol, nor stand guard, and it is normal for the brothers to envy that." Intelligence staff officer Liu Sheng was not very surprised by such a result.
"The number of people who sign up is more, and our range of choices is broader, which is a good thing." Yang Ling was also very happy about this.
At present, Chinese officers and men are generally malnourished and have poor physical fitness, so the selection of special combat personnel is completely short and tall.
Now there are a large number of applicants, and Yang Ling and they can also select team members in a wider range, which is of great benefit to improving the quality of team members.
"In addition to the large number of applicants in our army, more than 500 people have signed up at the registration office set up in the town, and Xiao Yan, the head of the second detachment of the militia, has also signed up to participate, isn't it just a joke." Lei Xiong pointed to Xiao Yan's name on the list and teased.
Hearing that even the militia detachment leader and other people came to participate in the assessment, Yang Ling was also quite surprised.
After they arrived at the head of the boundary, they reorganized all the nearby local armed forces into militias, and they were responsible for maintaining law and order on their respective boundaries, and Xiao Yan was one of the commanders of the militia team.
"We didn't set restrictions, people want to sign up, that's people's freedom."
Although Yang Ling was a little stunned, he thought that so many people inside and outside the country had signed up this time, but he was full of expectations for this recruitment of special combat personnel, maybe he could really recruit a few good seedlings.
"Chief Yang, so many people have signed up this time, so will our assessment standards be raised a little more?"
Lei Xiong is worried that the number of people who sign up will be too low, and if the assessment standard is too low and too many people pass, it will make trouble.
After all, the special operations brigade recruits some elite soldiers, and if you want to select the strongest people, the stronger the better.
Yang Ling thought for a few seconds after hearing Lei Xiong's proposal, waved his hand and said, "There is no need to raise the standard for the time being, when the time comes, there will really be too many people who have passed, and we will add another assessment item." ”
"Yes!" Lei Xiong felt that what Yang Ling said was right, so he no longer dwelled on this matter.
Yang Ling reminded: "This time, we need to recruit new recruits for the Flame Special Operations Brigade, and we need to recruit elites with real superior strength, so you must strictly control the assessment, according to the standards I have set, fair and just, and we must put an end to the occurrence of relationships and backdoors." ”
"Rest assured, Chief Yang, we absolutely guarantee that we will recruit the strongest brothers." Lei Xiong and the staff officers who were responsible for supervising the assessment also patted their chests one after another and assured Yang Ling.
