Seeing that Sun Liechen didn't speak, Yang Xingguo asked directly.

"Why, Head Sun doesn't want to ......"

"No......" Yang Xingguo hurriedly denied.

"I do, but I think this surprise is too sudden to react......"

After a short period of excitement, he directly assured Yang Xingguo: "Please rest assured, Commander, I will live up to your high expectations and be a good chief of staff......

Yang Xingguo nodded and continued: "Being a good chief of staff is only your first purpose. After becoming the chief of staff, you must thoroughly improve the staff of the Liaodong Army...... and not to be a chief of staff with no real power......"

"One month, I can only give you one month, and you can directly draw any manpower from each regiment if you need manpower in the middle."

"A month later, you will take the lead in setting up the staff offices of the divisions and regiments, and recommend to me a qualified candidate for chief of staff."

Sun Liechen shouted and said: "Please rest assured, commander, I will definitely complete the task......"

Sun Liechen had just left the headquarters with a serious and excited expression, and Zhang Shanlin came.

Facing the old subordinates who followed him from the beginning, Yang Xingguo spoke a lot more casually.

He asked directly at Zhang Shanlin: "Commander Zhang, do you remember the special operation I mentioned to you at the beginning?" ”

"Remember......" Zhang Shanlin replied without thinking.

Then, he said to Yang Xingguo with an expectant face: "My Fourth Regiment Reconnaissance Company is trained according to the methods you said Commander. In several battles, this reconnaissance company played a great role, especially the sharpshooters of the reconnaissance company. Let them suppress the enemy's heavy machine gun fire, which is simply more useful than heavy machine guns. ”

Yang Xingguo nodded and replied: "What you just said is just an introduction to special operations.

"If you train according to my method, in a year at most, the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance company will exceed ten times that of the current one......"

"Really? Commander, are you telling the truth? Is the special operation really so powerful? Zhang Shanlin asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.

Yang Xingguo didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "Of course...... I just don't know if you're interested in ordinary troops to fight, or in what I call a special operation? ”

Zhang Shanlin replied without thinking: "Of course it's a special operation ......"

"The Commander knows that I am a hunter. I like to be a scout the most...... I feel that the special operations you are talking about, just like I used to hunt, are about winning by surprise. ”

"If I had to choose, I would really like to engage in special operations."

"Good ......," Yang Xingguo said with a happy face.

"That's the answer I wanted. Since you are interested in special operations, then go and take special forces ......"

Zhang Shanlin suddenly froze, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Commander, what do you mean?" ”

"You should have heard that my Liaodong Army is expanding its army."

"After the expansion of the army. I intend to set up a special operations detachment, with you as the detachment leader, which belongs to the division-level unit, which specializes in special operations and accomplishes tasks that cannot be accomplished by ordinary combat units. ”

Zhang Shanlin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Commander, I agree to go to this special operations detachment.......

"However, I would like to ask how many people there are in this special operations detachment and how well equipped they are. Where do people come from? ”

Yang Xingguo replied with a serious face: "For the time being, it is set at 1,000 people, divided into three brigades, each brigade has three squadrons, each squadron has three squadrons, and each squad has a total of ten team members, including the squad leader. ”

"In terms of equipment, as long as our Liaodong Army has the conditions, the equipment of the special operations detachment must be the best ...... for the entire Liaodong Army."

"In terms of personnel, some people were selected from the reconnaissance battalion of the headquarters and the reconnaissance company of the fourth regiment as the backbone. The soldiers remained. Select from the entire Liaodong Army. Only those who are strong in individual weapons and have some special skills can enter the special operations detachment. ”

"As long as they enter the special operations detachment, ordinary soldiers enjoy the treatment of ordinary unit squad leaders. The squad leader enjoys the treatment of a platoon commander, the squad leader enjoys the treatment of a company commander, the squadron leader enjoys the treatment of a battalion commander, and the brigade leader enjoys the treatment of a regiment commander. As for you, the detachment commander, you enjoy the treatment of a division commander, and you are at the same level as the division commander after the expansion of the Liaodong Army. ”

"The last one is. After the establishment of the special operations detachment, I personally conducted the training...... Including you, the detachment leader, also participate in training. ”

After settling Sun Liechen and Zhang Shanlin, there was no longer the slightest obstacle to the expansion of the Liaodong Army.

The next day, all the officers above the Liaodong military camp gathered in the conference room of the headquarters.

Commander Yang Xingguo entered the conference room and sat in his own seat.

Dozens of pairs of eyes brushed together, and all of them were focused on Yang Xingguo.

Without letting everyone wait too long, Yang Xingguo stood up and said, "I'll announce a few personnel appointments first.......

"First, from now on, Sun Liechen will no longer be the commander of the Fifth Regiment of the Liaodong Army, but will be the chief of staff of the Liaodong Army, and will be ordered to form a staff department."

"Second, Zhou Zhongju no longer serves as the chief of staff, but directly serves as the director of the intelligence department of the Liaodong Army and concurrently serves as the deputy chief of staff of the General Staff Department and the director of the logistics department of the Liaodong Army, holding three positions."

"Third, Zhang Shanlin will no longer serve as the commander of the Fifth Regiment of the Liaodong Army, and from now on, he will officially serve as the head of the special operations detachment of the Liaodong Army."

"Next, I would like to ask Chief of Staff Sun, who has just taken office, to give you a specific announcement on the reorganization of our Liaodong Army......

Under the gaze of dozens of complicated eyes that were both envious and jealous, Sun Liechen walked directly to the already empty position beside Yang Xingguo.

After a brief hesitation, he directly picked up the document in front of him and began to read it.

"After the study of the Liaodong Army Command, it was decided to expand the Liaodong Army."

"The main force of the 123rd Regiment did not change, and was reorganized into the 1st, 4th, and 7th regiments of the Liaodong Army. The original 4th and 5th regiments of the Liaodong Army, the reconnaissance battalion of the headquarters, supplemented with 6,000 recruits, were mixed into six main regiments, which were the second, third, fifth, sixth, eighth, and nineteenth main regiments......"

"After the reorganization of the unit is completed, the 1233rd regiment, and then a guard battalion, a mountain artillery battalion, a cavalry company, an engineer company, and a communications company will be added to form the 1st Field Infantry Division of the Liaodong Army, with Wang Hu as the division commander."

"The four, five, and six regiments, plus the mountain artillery battalion and other supporting troops, formed the Second Infantry Division of the Liaodong Army, with Zhao Zhigang as the division commander."

"The three regiments of the seventh **, plus the mountain artillery battalion and other subordinate troops, form the Third Infantry Division of the Liaodong Army, with Zhou Qiangsheng as the division commander."

"A new special operations detachment has been established, with a division-level establishment, and the total strength is tentatively set at 1,000 people."

"The special operations detachment transferred 300 elites from the reconnaissance battalion of the headquarters and the reconnaissance company of the fourth regiment as the backbone, and then transferred 700 elites from the whole army to supplement the special operations detachment. All divisions and regiments must unconditionally release all officers and men who have been transferred by the special operations detachment. ”

"The commander of the special operations detachment, the commander has just said that Zhang Shanlin will be the detachment leader...... Wang Lin, the former commander of the reconnaissance battalion, served as the deputy detachment leader......"

"In addition, I would like to remind everyone that although Zhang Shanlin is the leader of the special operations detachment, the commander is directly responsible for the training of the special operations detachment in peacetime, that is to say, the commander is the chief instructor of the special operations detachment."

The fact that the commander himself served as an instructor shows the importance of the special operations detachment in the mind of the commander.

Therefore, including Chief of Staff Sun Liechen, everyone cast a trace of envy at Zhang Shanlin. (To be continued.) )
