Chapter 26: The Inside Story of the Special Operations Unit

  "Alright, Chief of Staff Huang and Director Xu... the four of us should have a small meeting to discuss our specific division of labor from now on." Zhang Hua said to his three partners as he saw the platoon leaders starting their training. Even for the two newly formed platoons, the squad leaders had begun selecting soldiers from among the more than sixty new recruits.

  In the spacious hall of the enemy's security regiment commander, four leaders of the special operations company were gathered around a table, waiting for Captain Zhang Hua's speech.

  "Old Guo, Old Huang, you don't mind me calling you that, do you?" Zhang Hua said with a smile as he saw the two of them looking at him simultaneously.

  "Commander, calling you that way makes it more affectionate. From now on, we'll also call you Old Zhang in front of our own people..." Seeing the exceptionally enthusiastic Zhang Hua in front of him, the newly appointed Chief of Staff Guo Chengzhu said with a smile.

  "Alright, from now on, the four of us will not address each other by our titles unless we are in a public setting." Seeing Guo Chengzhu, this newly appointed chief of staff, being so easy-going, Zhang Hua said with excitement.

  "I agree, Old Zhang..." This time it was Deputy Director Huang Zhengqing who stood up and said excitedly. And so, the names for the four of them were settled, and they began to get down to business.

  "Old Guo, Old Huang, the reason I called you two over is that you've just joined our special forces unit. Captain Xu and I wanted to have a chat with you both. At the same time, we'd like to introduce you to the current situation and strength of our unit, so you can better and more quickly find your place and start your command career..." said Battalion Commander Zhang Hua with a smile.

  "Old Zhang, this matter, even if you don't say it, Old Huang and I will also find the two of you to ask clearly. Hehe, unexpectedly you have considered it so thoroughly, hehe, then we two will listen carefully..." After hearing Zhang Hua's words, Chief of Staff Guo Chengzhu nodded secretly and said with a smile.

  "Alright, let me introduce the organization of our special operations company. Our company has a total of six platoons: four combat platoons, one logistics platoon, and one firepower support platoon. In addition, there are three directly affiliated squads: the guard squad, reconnaissance squad, and cooking squad. Each combat platoon consists of three squads, with each squad having one light machine gun. The firepower support platoon has two heavy machine guns and one mortar. The logistics platoon does not have any light machine guns but is equipped with 36 mules. The guard squad and reconnaissance squad are each equipped with a rifle and a submachine gun... In total, the entire company has 280 personnel, 12 light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, one mortar, and all other personnel are equipped with Type 38 rifles... That's it." Zhang Hua introduced with a smile.

  ......

  At this time, there were four people in the entire conference room. Except for Zhang Hua and Xu Bin, who looked calm and expressionless, the other two had their mouths agape, staring at Zhang Hua with wide eyes.

  "Old Zhang, what you said is true, this is the current equipment of our special operations team..." Although I had some understanding of the special operations team's equipment before joining, I didn't expect their equipment to be so good and so powerful.

  "Of course it's true, do you think I need to deceive you? By the way, there is also a submachine gun. Except for the guard squad and the reconnaissance squad, all three infantry squads are equipped with submachine guns, and all the squad leaders have two guns. The entire special operations company has 36 submachine guns..." Zhang Hua continued.

  "My goodness, this is so much, it's even more powerful than the firepower of my original battalion. No, not a battalion, it's a main force division... Haha, Old Huang, we've made a profit, we really have made a profit. I didn't expect that the regiment commander would arrange us to be in such a powerful special operations company." Zhang Hua said, and at the same time, he pulled Deputy Instructor Huang Zhengqing back from his stunned state.

  "Alright, you two. You're now familiar with the equipment and organization of our Special Operations Unit. Now, let Instructor Xu brief you on our unit's logistical situation... Also, from now on, all matters related to logistics will be handled by Deputy Instructor Huang. We can also take this opportunity to complete the handover." Zhang Hua ordered with a smile.

  "Old Zhang, don't worry! I, Huang Zhengqing, will definitely manage the logistics of our special forces unit well and be a good housekeeper for you all..." Huang Zhengqing said with a smile, already getting into character.

  "Alright, Old Zhang, Old Huang, and Old Guo. Now I'll introduce you to the material reserves of our special operations company. Based on the spoils from several consecutive battles and the remaining materials allocated by higher-ups, our special operations company currently has 500 hand grenades, 30,000 rifle bullets in 15 boxes, approximately 15,000 submachine gun bullets, 12,000 light machine gun bullets, 10,000 heavy machine gun bullets, and 200 cannon shells. Additionally, we have 2,000 kilograms of food, 294 silver dollars, and 48 mules..." Instructor Xu Bin said, pulling out a material inventory list that had already been prepared.

  "Lao Xue, the houses on the list are all our Special Forces' ammunition depots..." Huang Zhengqing said disbelievingly as he looked at the string of data on the list he had just received.

  "Yes, it's all true. From today on, these supplies will be handed over to you. As for what happens next, how you use these supplies is your own business." Zhang Hua spoke before Xu Bin could even get a word in edgewise.

  "Please rest assured, Comrade Battalion Commander and Political Instructor, I, Huang Zhengqing, will definitely be a good manager of the Special Operations Company..."

  "Report to the company commander, instructor, chief of staff, and Instructor Huang. The regimental commander has sent someone over..." Just as the four were discussing the current situation of the special operations company, the door of the temporary company headquarters was opened by the voice of Wang Gou Dan, the company's communications officer.

  "He is Wang Goudan, our special agent team's communicator. Goudan, let him in." Zhang Hua pointed to Wang Goudan standing at the door and said.

  "Yes, Commissar... Little Zhang, our Commissar invites you in..." Before long, a communications soldier with a holstered pistol walked into the temporary company headquarters and came to Zhang Hua's side.

  "Report to Commander Zhang, Commissar Xu, the regimental commander has led the main force of the regiment into the county seat of Puzhou. By order of the regimental commander, please ask Commander Zhang and Commissar Xu to report to the regimental headquarters immediately..." The communication soldier reported loudly.

  "What? You're saying that the division commander has arrived, and Division Commander Huang has already led the main force into Puzhou County...and he wants to see us?" Upon hearing the communication soldier's words, Zhang Hua felt a surge of excitement. After all, his own 4th Division's commander was none other than the famous General Huang Kecheng of later years, and the political commissar was the renowned General Li Tianyou.

  "Yes, Zhang Lianchang, the regimental commander and political commissar have called for you. They are waiting for you at the original enemy's logistics battalion headquarters, which is now the temporary regimental headquarters." The communications soldier nodded in response.

  "Alright... Old Guo, Old Huang, the troops will be handed over to you first. Old Xu, let's go, we'll head to the division headquarters to see the division commander and political commissar." Upon hearing the communication soldier's words, Zhang Hua felt a surge of excitement, pulled up instructor Xu Bin beside him, and rushed out of the temporary company headquarters, running towards the division command center.

  "A report..." Suddenly, a reporting voice sounded at the door of the division headquarters. The four division-level cadres who were having a meeting around a table all looked towards Zhang Hua and Xu Bin standing at the door.

  "Come in..." A young general sitting in the middle of the conference room nodded and said. However, in Zhang Hua's impression, this general was General Huang Kecheng, one of the top ten great generals of later generations.

  "Reporting to all the leaders, the commander of the 10th Special Forces Battalion Zhang Hua and political instructor Xu Bin have arrived as ordered." Seeing his idol in person, Zhang Hua quickly regained his composure and responded loudly.

  "Zhang Hua, Xu Bin... haha, today I finally saw you two young generals... haha, Old Huang, you don't know, since they defeated the enemy in Nanwan and captured a large amount of supplies, I became interested in these two little guys. Haha, I really didn't expect that these two little guys would give us such a big surprise again. With just one company's strength, they took down the heavily guarded county town of the enemy, it can be said that they set an example for our Red Army... Today I finally saw these two young generals... Come on, Zhang Hua, Xu Bin, tell us about your experience and thoughts in these two battles, let us old roughnecks learn from you..." Li Tianyou, the political commissar of the 4th Division, said with a smile.

  "Commander, aren't you trying to take my life? Let me fight, but let me..." Listening to Political Commissar Li Tianyou's words, Zhang Hua smiled bitterly. Of course, how could he tell them that these were all tactics he had brought from the rear... It was clearly an impossible thing to say.

  "Haha, it seems that our invincible Captain Zhang also has times when he can't do something! Alright, I'll let you off today, but you must submit a complete combat report of the two battles to the division headquarters..." Suddenly, Huang Kecheng, who had been sitting in the middle of the conference room, spoke up.

  "Yes, sir, Zhang Hua guarantees completion of the task..." Zhang Hua hastily guaranteed.
