The number of this unit of the extremely poor students is the Second Independent Battalion...... The number of the 1st Independent Battalion was taken by Shen Zhenshan's puppet troops who surrendered. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, this is Zhang Chi's intention, because the unit number is taken by people, and Zhang Chi can completely give a resounding name to the special forces of the extremely poor students, such as "Wild Wolf Special Brigade" and the like.

However, this sounds awesome, but when used in actual combat, it is more likely to expose the combat intent and make the enemy prepare in advance...... The battlefield taboo is new.

For example, the Japanese army received information that the Chinese army transferred the "special brigade" to the front line...... So it was immediately known that the Chinese were going to play these strategies of sneak attack and infiltration, but if the Japanese only got the information that they had transferred some "independent battalion", then in the minds of their commanders, it was likely that they had added an extra battalion to the troops, and even thought that this battalion was transferred as a supplementary army.

To put it simply, Zhang Chi is to give this army an ordinary name.

But this force is anything but ordinary.

This can be seen from the selection of troops in the first stage...... He basically selects the best, most unique and special soldiers of each unit, such as sharpshooters, demining masters, explosives experts, and so on.

Of course, this source of soldiers is not limited to the expeditionary force, Zhang Chi also selected some of the best from the militia.

The reason for choosing from the militia is that this special force needs a considerable number of soldiers who can speak Japanese...... There are not many soldiers who can speak Japanese in the expeditionary force, but there are quite a lot of militiamen, because the Japanese army has occupied the northeast for more than ten years and actively promotes Japanese education, which makes a considerable number of students who are about 20 years old and educated in school at this time can speak fluent Japanese, and this Japanese can still be the kind that even the Japanese can't tell if it's real or false.

Obviously, this often plays an unexpected role in combat, especially when carrying out infiltration missions.

Training, of course, is a very brutal survival of the fittest...... There are more than 2,000 people who can be selected for this battalion, and the reason why so many people are selected is to put pressure on everyone and eliminate those who are not good enough.

Zhang Chi believes that the ideal should be to reduce this battalion to about 500 people, that is, to divide it into three companies that can fight independently...... The troops are originally about being good and not too many, and this is especially true for special forces.

Of the more than 2,000 people, only more than 500 remained, and more than 2,000 people were still excellent soldiers selected by various units, so we can see how fierce the competition will be

The training session was arranged early in the morning...... Such as sniping, equipment, street fighting, language, skydiving, rock climbing, coordination, etc.

When these subjects were arranged, the extremely poor students couldn't help but be stunned, because these subjects set up by Zhang Chi were very targeted, and some of them even looked like they were specially set for operations behind enemy lines...... The extremely poor students were a little puzzled, how could this deputy commander seem to have fought in such an environment for several years, otherwise how could he easily set up these subjects.

And each of these subjects is not as simple as it seems.

For example, sniping, the so-called sniper in the general army is a sharpshooter, as long as the marksmanship is accurate, it is almost the same...... But sniping in special forces includes camouflage, coordination with combat detachments, coordination with artillery and fighters, calculation of ballistics, and so on.

Another example is equipment, ordinary troops only need to understand American equipment and even need to fully understand rifles, but special forces ...... In addition to American equipment, it is also necessary to understand Japanese equipment, and this so-called "understanding" is not a general understanding, but to be able to play it more smoothly when using American equipment, which even includes the driving and use of Japanese tanks, artillery, and automobiles.

Special Forces...... Then you have to be able to use everything, what if you capture the enemy's equipment when you infiltrate the enemy? If you can't use it, it won't be a tyrannical thing.

Of course, after the course is set up, it must be supported by equipment.

Needless to say, Japanese-style equipment...... There was a lot of equipment in the Northeast, and the equipment captured from the Japanese army was not used, and it was directly transferred from the Shenyang Arsenal to brand new. Of course, since tanks will not be produced, the familiarity with tanks will have to be made with captured old tanks.

As for the rest of the equipment, it will naturally have to trouble the US imperialists.

"General!" Zhang Chi quickly sent a telegram to Halsey: "I would like to get more sniper rifles and Thomson submachine guns, as well as binoculars, small smoke grenades, ......"

Halsey on the other end was a little strange: "You should be more defensive now, isn't the equipment we sent enough to use it?" ”

"I'm going to form a special force!" Zhang Chi replied: "So these equipment are needed, especially the BC611F walkie-talkie......"

BC611F walkie-talkie is a handheld walkie-talkie, which is still a very advanced thing in this era, and it is a bit like the early "big brother", that is, the predecessor of mobile phones.

This thing was still very expensive during this period, so the expeditionary force was not equipped with much, and it was only used by units above the regimental level in the US army.

"How many do you need?" Halsey replied, "There aren't many BC611F walkie-talkies!" ”

"I need thirty!" Zhang Chi replied: "At least thirty, because I'm worried that some of them will malfunction and can't be used!" ”

"Thirty!" Halsey was taken aback by the number: "Are you crazy?" Are you going to form an army? Thirty BC walkie-talkies are needed! ”

"No, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "I'm just forming a battalion, a battalion with a large number of about 500 people!" ”

"One battalion needs thirty BC walkie-talkies?" Halsey replied, "Oh my God, Major General...... You know, not a single battalion of American troops can reach this level, no, not a single division! ”

"Believe me, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "It's all worth it!" ”

Halsey was stunned for a moment, then called back, "Well, I believe you!" Hope I'm right...... If I tell Washington the truth, they'll think I'm crazy, so we'd better not say that these walkie-talkies are just a battalion that can be used as equipment for your entire Second Route Army, understand? ”

"Understood!" Zhang Chi replied: "Thank you, General!" ”

Zhang Chi thanked Halsey from the bottom of his heart for his trust, and it should be said that without Halsey's help and support, Zhang Chi's battle in the northeast would not have been so smooth.
