Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 66 Vice President Wang

That’s right, the cavalry company commander has no choice. Unlike the squad leader and deputy squad leader, the position of platoon leader is actually not that important.

What’s more important is that unlike other companies, Wang Gensheng wants to divide the special cavalry company into combat teams.

Instead of being like Yamamoto's special forces where all members are equipped with submachine guns.

You have to know that the shortcomings of this state are really too great.

Although Wang Gensheng has never been a special forces soldier, he has watched many movies and TV series about special operations.

I also know that general special forces are roughly divided into three combat teams.

The first one is the assault group, which is the type that carries submachine guns and is responsible for charging and close-range combat. The second is the firepower group, which is responsible for fire suppression, such as machine gun fire suppression and artillery fire suppression.

This prevents the assault team from being suppressed by the enemy's firepower during the charge.

Then there is the reconnaissance sniper team, which is responsible for reconnaissance and long-range sniping of important enemy targets.

However, this is still too far away for Wang Gensheng. Although submachine guns are very cheap and some are even cheaper than rifles, don't forget that on the battlefield of Huazhen, submachine guns are rare things.

Therefore, it is not an easy task to get at least twenty or thirty submachine guns to form an assault team.

Of course, this is all a matter for the future. If there is a chance, Wang Gensheng will naturally find a way to do it, but at this stage he still has to turn the cavalry company into a skiing company.

It doesn’t take long for most people to learn to ski. It only takes three days to a week to master the most basic skiing skills, such as turning and braking.

However, if you want to ski freely in the wild, you will need to practice for at least half a month or even a month to turn the skills into muscle instinct, just like learning to ride a bicycle.

Fortunately, although 90% of the people in Wang Gensheng's cavalry company are illiterate, they are still very talented in learning skiing.

However, in just half a month, all the members of the cavalry company could ski around Wangjia Village several times without any difficulty without falling.

"Captain, you know what, this white cape, coupled with the high-speed skiing that makes the cape flutter in the wind, is really handsome!"

Wang Gensheng immediately said angrily to Li Xiu's words:
"Bullshit! You think this white cloak is for you to show off? This white cloak is for concealment, not for you to show off. Remember, you must keep this white cloak clean and white. It cannot be dirty at all. Even if you get injured, blood cannot stick to it. Do you understand? This thing is not cheap."

That’s right, this white cloak is not made of linen, but pure cotton. The reason for using pure cotton is that it looks whiter.

Although cotton was cheaper before the time travel, linen is cheaper in this era.

After the soldiers of the cavalry company learned to ski, Wang Gensheng led them on a ski raid. The ski raid of more than 100 kilometers in a single trip was a big test for the soldiers of the cavalry company.

Therefore, after Wang Gensheng and his cavalry company reached their destination, he didn't rush to attack. Instead, he let them rest for half an hour to recover their strength. After removing their skis, he began the night raid. Just like the previous attack on Majia Town, Li Xiu, with his excellent night vision, first scouted the positions of the enemy's visible and hidden sentries. Then, Wang Gensheng personally dispatched them with a flying knife, silently dispatching them. Finally, he caught the enemy in his dream.

They were interrogated separately afterwards, and then Wang Gensheng acted as the executioner, and finally they quietly evacuated with their equipment.

I don’t know if it was because the heavy snow blocked the road or for some other reason, but for three consecutive days, Wang Gensheng captured three towns guarded by the Japanese devils one after another, and the Japanese devils didn’t react at all.

Of course, taking over the three towns where the Japanese invaders were stationed also allowed Wang Gensheng to kill a lot of Japanese invaders, which directly enhanced Wang Gensheng's physical fitness to 100%. That is to say, Wang Gensheng's strength is now twice as much as before, and he can lift 200 kilograms without any problem.

Of course, that was the end of it, because there were no more towns guarded by the Japanese invaders within Wang Gensheng's reach.

So the operation naturally ended, and Wang Gensheng led the cavalry company to capture three towns in a row and seized thousands of rifles, which not only doubled the strength of the New Second Regiment.

More importantly, after the battle results were reported, the higher-ups finally agreed to Kong Jie's request to promote Wang Gensheng to deputy regiment commander.

So at the beginning of 1941, Wang Gensheng became the second-in-command of the New Second Regiment and Kong Jie's deputy.

Of course, this is under the condition that no chief is assigned to the New Second Regiment. If a chief is assigned, Wang Gensheng will have to retreat to the third position.

··········
Wang Gensheng was a little confused about this appointment. You know, according to his memory, he was born in 1925.

Even though this year is 1941, I am only sixteen years old, and even if you count my age, I am only seventeen!
This is good, he became the deputy commander of the regiment at the age of seventeen, so Wang Gensheng said:

"Captain, am I being promoted too quickly? I've gone from a soldier to deputy commander in just one year! And I'm not even twenty yet!"

However, Kong Jie waved his hand and said:

"What's the big deal? Warfare is about ability, not age. So what if you're under 20? You can't be a deputy regiment commander if you're under 20! We don't have that rule in the Eighth Route Army. Besides, what's the big deal about being a deputy regiment commander if you're under 20? Before we were reorganized, there were people who became lion leaders at the age of 19!"

After Kong Jie's words, Wang Gensheng didn't say anything more. After all, the appointment had already been made. If he said more, it would not be modesty but pretentiousness.

However, after Wang Gensheng was promoted to deputy commander of the new Second Regiment, it became difficult to appoint the battalion commander of the Third Battalion. After all, Wang Gensheng had been leading the cavalry company during this period and had not commanded the operations of the Third Battalion. Therefore, the company commanders of the Third Battalion had not made much achievements.

So the final decision was to let Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Gensheng temporarily take over as the battalion commander of the third battalion.

Just like Zhang Dabiao in the drama "Bright Sword", the regimental chief of staff temporarily took over as the battalion commander of the first battalion.

However, after the Japanese invaders stationed in three towns were captured and more than a thousand rifles were added to their hands, recruiting new soldiers was naturally put on the subsequent development plan of the New Second Regiment.

However, Kong Jie took the initiative to stop this recruitment task, because Kong Jie required Wang Gensheng, who was now the deputy commander of the New Second Regiment, to not only focus on the cavalry company, but also pay more attention to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the entire New Second Regiment, such as training ordinary soldiers in grenade throwing and shooting abilities.
