Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 17: First Target Set! Chu Feng: "Let's take down this damned Japanese puppet trans

They acted swiftly and decisively, quickly assembling the elite troops of the guard regiment to create a combat battalion of 680 men.

The following day, Chu Feng personally led the team, taking the lead in and participating in the training and integration of the combat battalion.

Because most of the recruits were veterans, the only new recruits were the hundred or so from the original arsenal guard company.

These new recruits are not entirely new recruits; they have all received more than three months of military training.

So the training plan is very simple: a 5-kilometer run every day without fail.

Afterwards, they didn't line up for training, let alone practice earthwork.

In the morning, there were one-on-one and two-on-two bayonet fighting drills, followed by live-fire training.

In the afternoon, we did squats and push-ups, and continued with live-fire training.

In the evening, each class will conduct a training debriefing, identify and praise the highlights, and find problems to solve.

After the first day of training, Chu Feng activated all his skills, including bayonet fighting, pistol skills, 5km and 3km runs, which appeared in his attribute panel.

Among them, bayonet fighting is the highest level, reaching the advanced level, while pistol, 5km, 3km, squat, and push-up are intermediate levels.

In addition, in terms of individual command skills, there is an advanced infantry basic training and a master-level artillery basic training.

With the buff from intermediate training and the assistance of Chu Feng's keen eyes, he was able to identify problems immediately and provide solutions.

In the evening, each class held a meeting.

"Squad leader, our regimental commander has a really sharp eye!" a veteran couldn't help but say to his squad leader.

"As you know, my marksmanship used to be pretty good; I wouldn't say I could hit exactly where I pointed within 100 meters."

"But hitting the target with all three shots is still no problem."

"Today, after the battalion commander saw my shooting, he not only corrected a few of my movements, but also pointed out my minor flaws."

"After making these changes, I scored 140 points in three shots on the 100-meter target."

"Every shot scored above 45 points."

As soon as one veteran finished speaking, another veteran exclaimed in agreement, "Who can argue with that!"

"I consider myself to be among the top five in bayonet fighting in our platoon."

"But the commander only watched me train for two rounds and found that I preferred surprise tactics, was a little impatient, and my steps were a bit unsteady."

"Point these out to me, and I've been training accordingly. I've clearly felt a significant improvement."

"..."

As soon as the two veterans spoke, many of the commanders and soldiers who had been instructed by Chu Feng also chimed in.

Meanwhile, those soldiers who had not yet received guidance were filled with envy and anticipation.

but!

The atmosphere in each class was very enthusiastic. The company commanders, political instructors, and deputy company commanders of the regiment headquarters and each company gathered together, but the scene was very quiet. Everyone was as still as a cicada in winter, enjoying the baptism of the Chu-style hair dryer.

"You call yourselves veterans and commanders? Is this all you've got?"

"Is this how you usually lead your troops? Is it enough to just learn to endure hardship and train alongside your soldiers?"

"What about your experience as veterans and commanders? Are you going to take it with you to your grave if you don't pass it on?"

The map-wide attack stunned everyone, leaving them speechless.

After finishing his tirade, Chu Feng started cursing at each of them: "Company Commander, how many times have I told you? Your biggest problem is that you can't let go, you're too hesitant."

"As a commander, you need to be decisive. Do you think you're some kind of political instructor?"

"I don't want your sentimental gestures. Let's get this atmosphere, the pressure, the urgency of competition, going!"

"Look at your company. While other battalions are training hard, your company is just sitting there quietly, taking it easy. We are the army, not rich young masters going on spring outings."

Upon hearing this, Company Commander Huang Zhenggong lowered his head in embarrassment and shame, not daring to utter a single word.

The others were amused by Chu Feng's analogy.

"Zhang Mie Ri, how dare you laugh?" Chu Feng's gaze was like lightning, and he turned the Chu-style hair dryer to its maximum power.

"Yes, you have the loudest voice on the training field!"

"Your company has the best training atmosphere, but you damn well better not just talk the talk without walking the walk, and don't keep provoking the other companies."

"When it came to bayonet fighting, the company commanders of the third and fourth companies went up to correct our movements and even helped demonstrate. What did you do? You just sat there with your hands in your pockets, like an old man sunbathing."

"Didn't you claim to be the best bayonet fighter in the entire company? Has your 'first place' title served as a role model? Have you passed on your experience and helped everyone improve together?"

The previously smiling Second Company Commander, Zhang Mieri, instantly stopped smiling.

He then proceeded to berate the company commander, political instructor, and deputy company commander one by one: "Get the hell out of here! If I ever see this again, tomorrow or in the future!"

"Go back to your original units, you old hags! The combat battalion doesn't need you old hags!"

Everyone shrank back, experiencing the powerful force of the Chu-style hair dryer for the first time.

next day!

It was obvious that the company commanders, political instructors, and deputy company commanders were becoming more and more active, and they no longer had the laziness that had gradually developed due to the long period of no combat missions.

Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction.

A week was spent in training.

He led the troops in training during the day and held meetings with the officers of each company at night.

Point out the problems found and provide solutions.

Even when the troops began to rest, he was still working, constantly reviewing intelligence and information about the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops sent by the General Logistics Department.

Before we knew it, 10 days had passed.

Originally, we were supposed to train for a week before going to fight the Japanese, but it took three days longer than expected.

The reason is that a suitable target has not been found.

That evening, after finishing training, Chu Feng skillfully began to review the intelligence sent that day, to see if he could find a suitable target.

"Hmm?!" Suddenly, a piece of information caught his attention.

"A Japanese puppet regime transport convoy?"

"It's delivered every two weeks, and tomorrow is the due date."

"The transport team departed from Licheng County to deliver supplies to three or four surrounding outposts, including the Huting outpost?"

"More than three hundred, at most four hundred people, escorting forty or fifty large trucks."

Upon seeing this intelligence, Chu Feng quickly lay down on the battle map and began to study it.

"The route is fixed!"

"The number of personnel is just right for a combat battalion, so there won't be too much pressure."

"It takes 5 hours to get from Licheng County to Huting Outpost. We usually depart at 6 a.m. and arrive at noon."

"Then we'll go to other surrounding outposts, return to the Tiger Pavilion outpost for the night, and go back to the city the next day."

"If we want to take action, we can only do so on the road from the county town to the Huting stronghold."

"Otherwise, there's no point in taking action. We've already reduced our supplies, and the various outposts there are quite close together, making it easy to provide support."

As he spoke, he searched along the road between Licheng and the Huting stronghold.

quickly!

We found a nice place 6 kilometers from the Huting outpost and 13 kilometers from the county seat.

"Dongshan?"

"This terrain is large enough to accommodate more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops."

"The Japanese and puppet regime's transport teams were able to easily accommodate the long formations of their mule and horse carts."

"We're six kilometers from the Huting stronghold. Sending a small unit to harass them will ensure they can't provide support for two hours."

"If it's in the county town, you don't need to worry about it, it will still take three to four hours."

"With the firepower of the combat battalion, plus the advanced combat buffs provided during wartime deployment."

"Everything is going well, the battle will be over in half an hour."

At this point, Chu Feng slammed his fist on the spot on Dongshan Mountain: "We're not waiting any longer, let's beat up this damn Japanese and puppet transport team."

"Someone, notify all company commanders to come to the regimental headquarters for a meeting." Time is of the essence.

Although the troops were exhausted from a day of training, the Japanese wouldn't wait for them to be ready before giving them a chance.

They had less than ten hours to spare; they had to convene an immediate operational meeting and the entire battalion set off overnight to build an ambush position on Dongshan Mountain.
