Yu Xiaotian is also not stingy with the equipment he supplies to the special forces, and he is also not particular about it. As long as they need the flying tiger claws and ropes for climbing, he will arrange for people to build them specially for them.

You can also choose to equip them with crossbows, light hand crossbows, blow darts or even throwing knives, darts, cross darts or sleeve arrows based on their preferences and skills.

As long as they want it, Yu Xiaotian will find a way to get it for them no matter the cost, and it must be the best to meet their needs so that they can work more conveniently.

In addition to being used as scouts, such a special force is also responsible for doing dirty work for the Sea Wolves, including attacking the native tribes that are hostile to them, and some hostile elements on the land, clearing them at designated points, and attacking enemy camps.

Waiting for something.

Such a special team is Yu Xiaotian's trump card now. Over the past year or so, it has done a lot of dirty work for Yu Xiaotian.

Last year, when the Sea Wolf intervened in the fishing market on land, causing a backlash from many fishing tyrants or some gentry with vested interests, this special force was divided into small groups and went to land to help eliminate many people who were against the Sea Wolf.

The guys quickly suppressed their rebound.

Under such high-intensity training, these people are all cruel and ruthless. For them, they don't even need to blink an eye to kill someone. Sometimes they can even kill all the enemies without mercy, and

There won't be any guilt at all.

Forming such a special force is considered very forward-thinking in this era. Anyone who wants to go against the Sea Wolf must weigh their own weight. If they are not careful, they may die inexplicably.

, there is no place to even file a complaint. With the government's ability to solve crimes, it is impossible to catch the Sea Wolf. Even the most arrogant Jinyiwei at the moment can only be completely tortured by the Shanghai Wolf's special team.

As for the night guards, rangers and scouts of the official army, although they are considered elites among the official army and are also scouts, their skills and equipment levels are not even the same as those of Sea Wolf's special forces. When the two sides face off,

He can only get points for being completely tortured.

This special force has now become Yu Xiaotian's iron fist. Wherever he points, the iron fist will immediately swing to that place, smashing into powder any person or group who dares to go against the Sea Wolf.

However, this special force is usually very low-key. They do not live with other army companies. They usually only live in a camp in the mountains of Nanri Island, or in camps deep in the mountains and forests around Tamsui City. There are very few

No one knows they exist, let alone sees them.

They will only show up during exercises to cooperate with the previous combat barracks in conducting reconnaissance and prisoner arrests. Only Meng Fei in the Army can mobilize them. Meng Fei is also responsible for the training in peacetime. However, when they are mobilized and used, they must be mobilized by Liu Xingtang.

Lao Liu approved it, or it was directly due to Xiaotian's personal transfer.

Overall, the current military composition of the Shanghai Wolf Army has been quite complete in this era. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and its combat capabilities can basically dominate the world.

As for clothing, the military uniforms of the special forces are completely different from those of ordinary army soldiers. Their clothing is designed individually and is basically similar to the military uniforms of later generations. They use high-quality white Songjiang cloth or fine Indian white cloth, and first use various green

Yellow-brown pigments are dyed into colorful colors by tie-dying, and then made into clothes.

In this way, it became the first generation of original camouflage uniforms. Although the effect is not comparable to the military camouflage uniforms of later generations, it can still play a good role and is a real-life copycat camouflage uniform of local standards.

These garments are thickened at the knees, buttocks, elbows and cuffs to increase their durability and save them from being worn out in just a few days. At least they can be worn for a longer period of time.

There are also differences in fabrics between officer uniforms and soldiers' clothing. The summer officer uniforms are made of a fine linen produced in Guangdong. This linen is fine in texture, well ventilated, and slightly stiffer, so it can be ironed.

It is not a one-end style, but a split-breasted style, with buttonholes and whale bone buttons. It is close to the style of military uniforms of later generations. It is easy and comfortable to wear, and it also looks better.

As for winter officer uniforms, warmth retention must be considered, so they use wool made from British wool that they have just purchased from the Dutch. This kind of fabric was brought to Indian merchants by the British in an attempt to sell it.

items, but they are always in direct sales status.

This kind of woolen fabric has good warmth retention, is soft and stiff, is very comfortable to wear, and is stiff. It was a product that was accidentally discovered when the Sea Wolf Council merchant ship went to Batavia for trade. I brought some samples back and was used by Yu.

Xiaotian saw it.

After asking about the price, Yu Xiaotian felt that the price was not high, so he ordered the Council to purchase large quantities of this kind of woolen fabric from the Dutch. Later, he also established a relationship with the British Business Council and purchased a large number of such woolen fabrics.

.

Originally, the British were troubled by the backlog of these woolen fabrics. Unexpectedly, they met a big buyer, so they closed the deal at a lower price, which eventually led to Sea Wolf purchasing a large number of such woolen fabrics.

Although it was not enough to equip the soldiers, it was at least enough to make some clothes for the officers, so he was not stingy and ordered someone to make a batch of such clothes specifically for the officers. In terms of cutting and production, they were better than

The uniforms of ordinary soldiers are much more elaborate to highlight the identity and status of officers.

Moreover, there are certain differences in the colors of the military uniforms of the navy and army. The navy uses white summer uniforms, which is the original color of the fabric, and eliminates the dyeing process, while the army summer uniforms are changed to an earthy yellow color among earth dyes.

, replacing the previous indigo or black.

Because in the summer, the dark-colored clothes that were used in the past will absorb a lot of heat and make people feel very hot. After changing to lighter colors, at least they will feel better. Although the khaki color looks like chicken shit, it is

In the wild, it has a somewhat protective color feel, which is more suitable for the army.

The navy is not very dirty when it comes to activities on the ship in the summer, so it is acceptable to use white, and it looks more energetic.

As for winter clothing, the navy uses lighter indigo, while the army uses darker indigo. This dye is currently relatively easy to obtain for them. It does not require too much trouble and the cost will be relatively reduced.

However, Yu Xiaotian has only just begun to change his military uniforms, and has not yet prepared all the new uniforms, so the actual change of uniforms may have to be postponed for several months.

With the implementation of new military ranks and military uniforms, the issue of military rank symbols is naturally involved. Otherwise, military ranks will be in vain. In peacetime and on the battlefield, soldiers and officers still cannot tell who has a higher military rank, so it is necessary to

Issued military rank insignia.

Naturally, this was not difficult for Xiaotian, so he directly copied the military rank epaulettes and armbands of later generations. A lieutenant officer has a bar and stars. A bar with one star is a second lieutenant, a bar with two stars is a lieutenant, and a bar with three stars is a lieutenant.

A captain has one bar and four stars, a captain has two bars, and so on. As for generals, they don’t exist yet, and they probably won’t appear for a long time, so we won’t consider them for now.

The epaulettes of non-commissioned officers and soldiers can be distinguished by following the military rank epaulettes of later generations. However, in terms of material, he could not find suitable materials, so he could only use canvas wrapped with velvet and rusted with red or white lines to distinguish them.

, the shoulder of an officer above lieutenant

On the seal, add a copper star. The copper star also uses a five-pointed star, which is punched out directly from a copper sheet. The stamping mold is not complicated. A rough mold is cast from pig iron and polished by hand. Moreover, the copper sheet is relatively soft, so it is not laborious to stamp.

, a lot can be stamped out quickly.

Until new uniforms are issued, epaulettes will not be issued for the time being. Currently, their old-style military uniforms do not have space for epaulettes, so if they are issued, they cannot be attached to the shoulders. They can only be made first.

After that, it will be distributed together with the military uniforms. Since it is necessary to change the uniforms, change them together. This will save some people and some people will not change, and some people will express dissatisfaction.

It turns out that Yu Xiaotian also wanted to issue dog tags to his officers and soldiers, with their names, time of enlistment, and the team they served in marked on it. However, he did not have the right material for the dog tags at the moment, neither aluminum nor stainless steel.

Zinc and tin are too soft, and iron sheets rust too easily. Using copper sheets would be too wasteful. After all, this thing can be used as money, and he is not luxurious enough to squander the copper materials he has on hand.

So in the end he had no choice but to give up and simply use bamboo slices to make dog tags for the soldiers, while the officers used whale bones to make dog tags. This is also an identification mark. During special periods, when inspecting soldiers, they would use this dog tag to prove it.

For their identity, the officers and soldiers currently on land use waist tags. Ordinary soldiers only have number tags. Relatively speaking, dog tags are simpler and easier to use.

Now, as the time when the official army may launch an attack on Nanri Island is getting closer, Sea Wolf has officially begun to enter into combat preparations.

All workshops under the control of various weapons began to enter full-speed production as early as July. Especially gunsmiths and artillery makers, large-scale production was carried out in two shifts to produce the equipment needed by the Sea Wolf.

various weapons, and has temporarily stopped the production of firearms for external sales, concentrating its efforts on meeting Sea Wolf's own needs first.

No one would ever think that they have too many cannons, so for the army, the more cannons they produce, the better, including the Army. For a long time, the Army has been dissatisfied with the fact that there are too few cannons equipped to them.
