Chapter 181 Chapter 179: Young warriors are eager to establish meritorious service (seeking votes~seeking all kinds of votes)

“Xu Laoliu, what are you doing dancing around there?”

After Duan Peng received the task assigned to him by Qin Yangming, he quickly rode his horse to Lijiazhuang to join up with the rest of the assault platoon.

As soon as he arrived at Lijiazhuang, Duan Peng saw Xu Laoliu and a few soldiers who had just joined the assault platoon talking in front of a house.

Xu Laoliu, who was talking to the soldiers who had just joined the assault platoon about how they had destroyed the Japanese Kimura Brigade Command, heard the voice behind him and immediately turned around excitedly.

“Platoon leader, you are back from the regiment commander’s place, how is it?
Does the commander have any new tasks to assign to our assault platoon?

Are you planning to lead our assault platoon to launch a decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade?”

Xu Laoliu ran to Duan Peng with excitement on his face and asked Duan Peng if Qin Yangming had any new combat mission to assign to the assault platoon.

Although the decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade seemed a little unrealistic to Xu Laoliu.

The terrain of Tongshi Town is too flat and is not suitable for surprise attacks.

In particular, the attack time against the Japanese 4th Brigade was five o’clock in the morning, and at this time, it would be dawn in at most an hour.

In Xu Laoliu’s opinion, in such a short time, the assault platoon would have no time to get close to the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

Even if we get in, there will be no chance to retreat.

It will be daybreak by then, and the assault platoon will be no different from a target inside the Japanese camp.

But Xu Laoliu still had some expectations in his heart.

Just because he has no solution doesn’t mean Qin Yangming is incapable.

Qin Yangming has always been able to lead them to perform various magical operations, making the Japanese devils cry for their parents.

Maybe Qin Yangming will find a way to quickly sneak into the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Brigade, and then destroy the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Brigade as easily as he did with the Kimura Brigade last time?

As soon as Xu Laoliu finished speaking, other soldiers from the assault platoon nearby, especially those who had just joined the platoon, gathered around.

Every soldier looked at Duan Peng with anticipation, hoping to hear the answer they wanted to hear from Duan Peng.

Especially those soldiers who have just joined the assault platoon.

Just joining the assault platoon means that they have no credit in the assault platoon.

However, without making any contributions, he was able to enjoy the treatment and honor of the assault platoon.

This makes these new soldiers who joined the assault platoon, even if they originally had made considerable contributions in the old unit.

However, these soldiers felt guilty about receiving rewards without doing anything.

In addition, there are other soldiers in the assault platoon. Since they took over a mine of the Japanese devils, the assault platoon has not had any major military operations.

No major military actions means no merit.

It seemed that the contributions of other troops were almost as great as those of the assault platoon.

These soldiers were also anxious.

They enjoy such high treatment, such good food, and such good weapons and equipment every day, but their achievements are comparable to those of ordinary companies.

Oh wow, they are almost the same.

This made the soldiers of the assault platoon feel that something was wrong, and they kept encouraging Duan Peng, hoping that Duan Peng could convince Qin Yangming to let the assault platoon carry out a major combat mission.

Especially now that the Vanguard Regiment has just been established, the soldiers of the assault platoon are also worried that what if Qin Yangming feels that the assault platoon they have trained with so much effort is less effective than an ordinary company.

Then they can choose to disband the assault platoon or reorganize it into an ordinary company, and then they will be completely embarrassed.

Especially now that Qin Yangming has asked the assault platoon to serve as the vanguard of the vanguard regiment.

You know, the work of the vanguard troops has always been done by randomly selecting a main company or a platoon with similar strength in the army.

But now the assault platoon is asked to do the work of an ordinary company.

This made the soldiers wonder… Would Qin Yangming feel that the assault platoon was no longer useful… and was preparing to reorganize the assault platoon into an ordinary company?

You know, the assault platoon has always enjoyed the best resources.

In the daily training of other ordinary troops, especially target shooting training, it is considered good if a soldier can fire three bullets a day.

But on the assault platoon’s side, bullets are in ample supply!
If the assault platoon wants to use artillery, there is no need for the assault platoon to go to the artillery company. The artillery company will directly send the artillery over.

Especially in terms of physical training, the soldiers of the assault platoon enjoy the training methods specially developed by Qin Yangming, as well as one-on-one targeted training.

It can be said that if the various resources consumed by the assault platoon were converted into money, it would be almost equivalent to the financial expenditure of forming a battalion of ordinary troops.

Even this was saved by Qin Yangming who found ways to save money.

If the assault platoon enjoyed such high treatment but had no achievements… Qin Yangming would not even need to ask to disband the assault platoon. Duan Peng himself would not have the face to serve as the platoon leader of the assault platoon anymore.

After all, outsiders don’t know, or simply don’t understand how strong the assault platoon’s combat effectiveness is, or how luxurious its weapons and equipment are.

But these soldiers in the assault platoon know how powerful the assault platoon is.

All the equipment and supplies carried by an ordinary assault platoon soldier, converted into money, would be enough to arm an ordinary combat team of twelve people.

These soldiers were most impressed by the strength of the assault platoon. They dreamed of using the heads of the Japanese to test the power of the assault platoon and the various combat plans developed by the assault platoon against the Japanese.

Looking at the expectant eyes of many soldiers, Duan Peng really couldn’t bear to tell the truth.

But it is impossible for Duan Peng to falsely pass on military orders.

During the war, if a false military order was passed, no matter how much Qin Yangming liked him or how much he valued him, Qin Yangming would definitely shoot Duan Peng directly without blinking an eye.

In the end, Duan Peng shook his head amid the soldiers’ expectant gazes.

“The commander did not give our assault platoon any new combat missions. Our assault platoon’s current mission is to serve as the vanguard of the vanguard regiment and scout the situation ahead for the large force behind us.

Forget about the decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade.”

“what?!”

“No, Platoon Leader, didn’t you ask the regiment commander for help?”

Xu Laoliu listened to Duan Peng’s words and spoke to him with surprise on his face.

Listening to Xu Laoliu’s words, Duan Peng, who had just wanted to explain what was going on, suddenly thought of how Qin Yangming had just scolded him.

“Why the hell don’t you go and fight with the captain?”

“Damn it! The leader scolded me so much!”

When Xu Laoliu saw Duan Peng suddenly get angry, he was stunned for a moment.

But when Xu Laoliu heard Duan Peng say that Qin Yangming was angry, he also became nervous.

“Sergeant, what happened?

Why is the team leader angry?

And there is the battle plan…it is our assault platoon’s battle plan against the Japanese 4th Brigade.

Have you mentioned this to the team leader?
Now the commander is in charge of the entire vanguard regiment and will soon have to join forces with other troops to fight against the Japanese Fourth Brigade. There are a lot of things to do.

Maybe the commander actually thought of having our assault platoon conduct a decapitation operation against the 4th Brigade, but forgot about it because he was too busy?”

It would have been fine if Xu Laoliu hadn’t said anything, but once he mentioned Duan Peng, he got even angrier.

If there was no table in front of him for Duan Peng to bang on, he would have wanted to imitate Qin Yangming and bang the table and scold Xu Laoliu.

“Decapitation, decapitation.

What the hell!

I mentioned this to the regiment commander and even came up with a very bad plan, in order to see if the commander had forgotten about our assault platoon because he had too many things to do.

As a result, because of this combat plan, I was scolded by the regiment commander.

If the political commissar hadn’t stopped me and the brigade commander hadn’t been watching from the door, I think I would have been in the hospital right now.”

Thinking of the anger in Qin Yangming’s eyes at that time, as well as his disappointment and confusion towards him… Duan Peng felt a little aggrieved. But Duan Peng had no choice. He had come up with this bad idea himself, so he could only swallow the bitter fruit.

Having followed Qin Yangming for so long, how could Duan Peng not know that his plan was full of loopholes.

The reason why Duan Peng proposed that plan was that his idea was similar to that of Xu Laoliu.

Everyone thought that Qin Yangming had too many things to do and forgot about the assault platoon.

So Duan Peng thought of coming up with a very bad plan to remind Qin Yangming.

I hope Qin Yangming can give the assault platoon a major combat mission.

That’s right, Duan Peng also knew that it was unrealistic to lead the assault platoon to carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese 4th Brigade.

However, Qin Yangming’s actions have always been able to subvert their views.

They thought it was an impossible task, but for Qin Yangming it was not necessarily the case.

Under the leadership of Qin Yangming, hasn’t the vanguard group accomplished enough impossible tasks?

Whether it was defeating a Japanese brigade at Baihuling, or raiding the Japanese mines over a long distance.

Or it could be the battle against the puppet Mongolian cavalry regiment, or the annihilation of a field regiment of the Japanese some time ago.

Which of these battles is normal?
But Qin Yangming did it.

So Duan Peng believed that Qin Yangming would definitely have a solution.

So I want to talk about a bad idea.

However, unexpectedly, Qin Yangming also believed that the assault platoon would not be able to carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade this time.

Then Duan Peng’s bad idea not only failed to achieve the results he wanted, but on the contrary it hurt himself badly.

Duan Peng still hasn’t forgotten the meaningful look Qin Yangming gave him when he was leaving the regiment headquarters.

Whenever Qin Yangming showed that look, it meant that someone was about to be in trouble.

The last time Duan Peng saw Qin Yangming’s eyes was when Xu Laoliu was shooting in front of a group of people.

When Xu Laoliu was shooting, he did not check his weapon because he was used to it, and he just started shooting.

But unfortunately, someone was careless and touched the scope of Xu Laoliu’s sniper rifle!
As a result, Xu Laoliu’s gun scope was slightly tilted to the left…

Xu Laoliu’s target was a 600-meter target. If the sight was off by a little bit, the final result would be very different.

Then Xu Laoliu directly broke the flagpole of the distance flag next to the target.

Because there were many people around at the time, Qin Yangming didn’t say anything, but just looked at Xu Laoliu with the same eyes.

After the boss and others left.

Xu Laoliu is in big trouble.

Qin Yangming caught him and trained him hard for several days. He spent three days dismantling the gun, which led to Xu Laoliu checking the gun even when he was sleeping.

Duan Peng even thought about how Qin Yangming would train him after this battle…

After listening to what Duan Peng said, Xu Laoliu also understood that Qin Yangming had no way to carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

The other soldiers around listened to what Duan Peng said and showed a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

“Alright, alright, what are you looking at? This battle is not suitable for our assault platoon.

It’s fine if the soldiers who just joined the assault platoon don’t know, but don’t tell me you don’t know either.”

Duan Peng looked at the other soldiers’ eyes and spoke directly to persuade them.

“Although our assault platoon is the vanguard this time, we must not let our guard down. You should know what the larger forces behind us have brought.

This time we have spent all our money. If our reconnaissance is not in place and the large force behind us is ambushed by the Japanese, then everyone in our assault platoon will find a piece of tofu and kill himself. “

An old soldier from the assault platoon listened to what Duan Peng said, shook his head and began to defend himself.

“Sir, we know how serious this incident is.

I was thinking, if our assault platoon has not made any significant achievements, then what should we do in the future?
The cavalry company has already decided to expand into a cavalry battalion. When will our assault platoon be expanded?

Also, if we don’t have enough military merit, then we have been using so many resources… I really feel bad… Our assault platoon has meat to eat every day, but we don’t have the corresponding merit.

I just can’t swallow that meat.”

“Yes, platoon leader, please talk to the regiment commander and ask him to give our assault platoon a combat mission…”

“Platoon leader, ordinary companies need merit, but our assault platoon needs it too.

If our assault platoon has the same merits as the ordinary company, then what is the point of having our assault platoon?”

“Yes, platoon leader, if the merits of our assault platoon are the same as those of the ordinary company, then what is the difference between our assault platoon and the ordinary company?

By then, let alone expansion, it would be good enough if our assault platoon is not turned into an ordinary company…

If not so many resources were consumed in the beginning, no one would feel anything even if it was reorganized into an ordinary company.

But now our assault platoon has consumed so many resources, and now we have been reorganized into an ordinary company, and everyone feels really bad about it. “

Listening to the soldiers’ words, Duan Peng felt a little confused.

Because before he entered the regiment headquarters, he heard Qin Yangming talking with Zhangye about the reorganization of the troops.

Especially when I heard Qin Yangming say that he wanted to form a reconnaissance company… and a special forces team.

Judging from the conversation between Qin Yangming and Zhangye, as well as the task Qin Yangming assigned to him, it is very likely that Qin Yangming is planning to reorganize the assault platoon.

The task Qin Yangming gave to Duan Peng was very simple.

That is to let Duan Peng observe all the soldiers in the entire assault platoon during this battle.

Then all the soldiers in the assault platoon are ranked according to their performance in this battle.

In the words of Qin Yangming, the results of routine training mean nothing; only on the battlefield can we see how capable the soldiers are.

Originally, Qin Yangming should have done this, but now Qin Yangming needed to command the troops to fight, so he handed it over to Duan Peng.

Qin Yangming also specifically warned Duan Peng that this matter must not be told to other soldiers in the assault platoon, and only Duan Peng himself should know about it.

The reason why Qin Yangming asked Duan Peng to observe the performance of the assault platoon soldiers and then rank them was very simple.

That is, Qin Yangming wanted to select a group of people and wait for the time to follow him to Taiyuan to carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese Shanxi First Army Headquarters.

Qin Yangming had been preparing for this action a long time ago.

Qin Yangming basically had a clear idea of ​​the situation of each soldier in the assault platoon.

This time, I asked Duan Peng to observe just to see if Duan Peng’s observation results would be different from mine.

Of course, the main reason was that Qin Yangming had no time to observe the performance of each soldier in the assault platoon on the battlefield.

So I had to let Duan Peng take my place.

But Duan Peng didn’t know what Qin Yangming was thinking.

Duan Peng thought that Qin Yangming wanted to form several new troops, but due to the problem of number of people, he began to want to send some people from the assault platoon to the new company.

After all, any soldier from the assault platoon can join the ordinary troops and become a squad leader.

If you serve as a squad leader in an assault platoon, you can become a platoon leader in a regular unit.

Therefore, Duan Peng believed that this time Qin Yangming asked him to observe, most likely because he wanted to transfer the last-ranked group of people to the new company to serve as the backbone.

Using the elite troops of the assault platoon, the vanguard regiment, the framework of two new troops was set up.

It is obvious that the remaining soldiers of the assault platoon will be reorganized into the so-called special operations team.

After all, Qin Yangming often talked to them about special operations, saying that the training of the assault platoon was actually conducted in accordance with special operations that were different from conventional warfare.
