Chapter 275 Reorganization and Training
When replying to Catherine, Lu Cheng also replied to Colonel William, Lieutenant Mike and Second Lieutenant Price, and attached a gift to each of them, a Japanese officer's sword.
Lu Cheng had killed quite a few Japanese majors and lieutenants before, so naturally he had accumulated some Japanese sabers.
For soldiers, some important trophies on the battlefield are often more commemorative.
Just like in the movie "Drawing Sword", Li Yunlong went to his fellow villager, the logistics minister, to ask for grenades, and the logistics minister asked for a Japanese army knife in exchange.
Moreover, the Japanese sabers are very valuable even on the black market.
Some bandits or officers like to buy a Japanese saber and put it by their side so that they can brag about their past achievements.
After replying to the letter, Lu Cheng continued to devote himself to the reorganization and training of the troops.
After completing the initial reorganization, the three infantry battalions divided the defense areas along Chanda to the Jiqipo area. The artillery company had four 3mm mountain guns, six British 1-inch mortars, and four British Mark heavy machine guns.
The remaining Type 92 heavy machine guns, the Japanese's light and heavy mortars, and grenade launchers were all distributed to the three battalions.
The spearhead company was mainly equipped with Sten submachine guns, Lee-Enfield rifles, Bren light machine guns, grenade launchers, and light mortars.
The guard platoon was mainly equipped with Sten submachine guns, Lee-Enfield rifles, box guns and other weapons, plus two Bren light machine guns, and was responsible for the security of the regiment headquarters.
The equipment left for the special forces included Garand M1 semi-automatic rifles, Thompson submachine guns, Bren light machine guns, various types of sniper rifles, as well as pistols and grenade launchers.
Among the three infantry battalions, except for the first battalion which mainly used British equipment, the second and third battalions still mainly used Japanese equipment.
It is worth mentioning that the special envoy was indeed very helpful. He applied for a batch of ammunition and supplies for Lu Cheng, including some ammunition for British weapons.
In addition, Lu Cheng was allocated 600 Zhongzheng rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition.
After all these tasks were completed, one company of soldiers from each of the three battalions would be stationed at the riverside, while the other two companies would undergo rigorous training, including physical training and various military skills training.
Since Changda is located on the southern border and it rains a lot in summer, Lu Cheng paid some craftsmen who knew construction to guide the soldiers to build some houses on the riverside as residences for the garrison soldiers.
There were so many things to do, but Lu Cheng handled them in an orderly manner. After all, he had worked his way up from the bottom to the captain, so his management skills were impeccable.
From training to logistics to medical care, everything was set up quickly.
The regiment's health room, the kitchen squads of each battalion and company, the transport platoon directly under the regiment, and the logistics department all serve to ensure the normal operation of the entire regiment.
In order to accommodate the veterans who were left disabled after being injured, Lu Cheng specially set up a gun repair and maintenance department, and applied to the military for a batch of equipment and facilities specifically for the repair and maintenance of guns.
In order to make the army look more disciplined, Lu Cheng did not forget to ask for two thousand new uniforms from his superiors.
After more than half a month of training, the entire regiment had a new look, the mental state and morale of the soldiers had been significantly improved, and they finally looked like elite troops.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng's 118th Regiment began to recruit soldiers.
When the people in the villages and towns around Chanda heard that Lu Cheng was going to recruit soldiers, they all came to enlist. Even some Burmese overseas Chinese who were protected across the river came to enlist.
Among these overseas Chinese, there were two or three professional doctors, which made the regiment's clinic more regular. Lu Cheng, the regiment commander, finally didn't have to work as a military doctor anymore.
Of course, when Lu Cheng has free time, he will personally guide and train the doctors in the regiment to improve their professional skills.
For more than a month, Lu Cheng spent most of his time on the battlefield by the river or in the military camp. He even went back to Zenda's home only once every one or two days.
Of course, if he really had to go back and make trouble every day, Chen Xiaozui would not be able to bear it.
Seeing that Lu Cheng was so busy, the two female agents of the Military Control Commission could not find an opportunity to get closer to Lu Cheng. Apart from the necessary liaison work every day, they stayed in the communications office of the regiment headquarters and could not see Lu Cheng most of the time.
This also made the two female agents a little anxious. They followed Lu Cheng from time to time, wanting to learn more about the situation of the entire 118th Regiment.
After the members of the spearhead company were selected and training began, Lu Cheng directly asked two communicators to follow the spearhead company for training, and told them that in his regiment, even female communications soldiers were combatants and needed to go to the battlefield to fight when necessary.
In order to win Lu Cheng's favor and further their work, the two women had no choice but to train with the spearhead company.
These two female agents learned fighting, assassination, intelligence, and pistol shooting in the Military Intelligence Bureau. They were not very good at real combat and suffered a lot at the beginning, but they persisted.
Lu Cheng also praised them appropriately and rewarded each of them with a pistol. He would occasionally chat with them and talk about battlefield survival skills and so on.
This also made the two women think that they had found a breakthrough, and they would always try their best to demonstrate their abilities in all aspects in order to win Lu Cheng's recognition.
But after the special operations team was formed and training began, Lu Cheng disappeared from time to time, which made the two female agents a little crazy. Isn't it said that this officer Lu is very lustful? Why does he seem indifferent to them? He doesn't know how to be gentle with women at all.
Lu Cheng didn't care what the two female agents were thinking. Now was war time, and every bit of training the soldiers received would give them a better chance of saving their lives on the battlefield, and they could kill more Japanese devils.
After the training of the entire regiment got on track, Lu Cheng focused on the training of the special operations team.
After the expansion, the total strength of the 118th Regiment has exceeded 2000. Among these people, only twelve barely qualified special forces were selected, mainly because most of the soldiers were not physically fit enough.
In order to enhance the physical fitness of these special forces members, in addition to ensuring adequate nutrition and meat in their meals every day, Lu Cheng also took out basic strengthening pills to improve their physical fitness.
In the previous world, Lu Cheng spent his entire life highly concentrating and strengthening the drugs that enhance physical fitness, and produced a batch of primary, intermediate and advanced level strengthening pills. Taking them in three cycles, combined with appropriate amount of exercise, can enhance the physical fitness by more than three points.
Each of these health-enhancing pills weighs less than one gram, and the total weight of a complete set of pills for the three cycles of junior, middle and high school is less than 100 grams.
Lu Cheng stocked up 300 servings of each of the intermediate and advanced health-enhancing pills, and as many as 600 servings of the primary health-enhancing pills.
Even in the year 2100, this batch of drugs was a huge fortune, and it was also the most valuable thing in Lu Cheng's cross-border backpack.
There are twelve special forces members in the entire special forces team, half of whom are members of the cannon fodder group in the original drama, including the first sniper team composed of sniper Bu La and observer Yao Ma, machine gunners Milong and Cui Yong, and assaulters She Pit and Dong Dao.
As for other members of the cannon fodder group, such as Ayi, Kang Ya, Hao Weiyi, Doubing, Meng Fanle, Li Liansheng and others, they were not successfully selected for the special forces for various reasons.
12 special forces members, equipped with two sniper rifles, a Bren light machine gun, a grenade launcher, four submachine guns, four Garand semi-automatic rifles, and six pistols, each with a bayonet, plus watches, compasses, maps, helmets and other equipment. They are armed to the teeth and their firepower is comparable to that of a platoon.
