Chapter 469: Shrinking Version of the Independent Regiment (Second Update!) )

"The infantry company must not be configured according to the standard of a reinforced company!" Political Commissar Wang Hong was very adamantly opposed.

Li Hao's analysis just now made him remember it vividly, as the chief steward of the Independent Regiment, he didn't want to watch the Independent Regiment be dragged down by strong logistical pressure.

Raising his eyebrows, he analyzed: "We now have two mortars and two heavy machine guns for each reinforced company!" ”

"After the expansion of the troops, there will be 12 main companies plus a guard company, and if all of them are equipped with light and heavy weapons according to the standard of the reinforced company, the whole regiment must prepare at least 26 mortars and 26 heavy machine guns, as well as nearly 100 light machine guns!"

"With so much light and heavy firepower, it really goes to the battlefield, and more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition can be used in just one battle!"

"With the current family of the Independent Regiment, at most half of the light and heavy weapons can be fed!"

The words of the political commissar made Li Hao quickly make a decision: "The political commissar of our independent regiment knows best, since the political commissar said that it will be halved, then we will halve!" ”

"After the expansion of the troops, the firepower squad directly under the original reinforcement platoon was cancelled and reduced to a firepower group, with a crooked machine gun blinded, and the replenishment platoon was full of 35 people."

"The fire platoon directly under the original infantry company was cancelled and demoted to a fire squad, with two crooked handles and two grenadiers!"

"Plus the guard squad directly under the company, the cooking squad, and the infantry company have a full strength of 140 people, equipped with five machine guns and two grenadiers!"

"What about the four main battalions?" Hong Linfeng asked.

"There are three main force companies under the main battalion, a fire company, a guard platoon, a baggage transport platoon, a communications squad, and a cooking squad directly under the battalion headquarters!"

"Blind one heavy machine gun platoon and three heavy machine guns in the firepower company!"

"One mortar platoon, three mortars blind!"

"An infantry artillery platoon or mountain artillery platoon specially used for attacking fortifications, two infantry artillery or mountain artillery guns are missing, and we will make up for them when we have artillery in the future!"

"According to such a firepower configuration, the total strength of the main battalion will not exceed six hundred!"

Wang Hong said: "In this case, the total strength of the four main battalions is 2,400 people, and the heavy weapons include 12 mortars, 12 heavy machine guns, almost 50 light machine guns, and 20 grenadiers. ”

"Commander, I agree with the plan you said!"

Hong Linfeng pouted and didn't speak, feeling very aggrieved in his heart.

In the end, I couldn't help but shout: "Regiment commander, political commissar, such an independent regiment is not the same as the independent regiment that I have already thought in my head, it has shrunk too much." ”

"The four main battalions add up to 2,400 people, and our independent battalion had more than 2,000 people before this counter-sweep began. It is equivalent to the expansion of the independent battalion into an independent regiment with almost no increase in strength, and the firepower has not increased much? ”

Li Hao opened his mouth and comforted Hong Linfeng: "Chief of staff, you don't have to be discouraged, 2,400 people are only the strength of the four main battalions, and we still have troops directly under the regiment headquarters that are not counted!" ”

"The guard company will not be expanded, but it is a strengthened company, with a total strength of nearly 250 people."

"The mountain artillery company has been expanded into an artillery battalion, although there are only eight mountain guns, but the shelves must be erected, and I am confident that our artillery battalion will be fully equipped within a year!"

"The cavalry company has also been expanded into a cavalry battalion, and with the captured war horses this time, it will definitely be no problem to get together and form three cavalry companies!"

"The reconnaissance platoon will be expanded into a reconnaissance company, and the commando team will also be expanded in size, expanded into an assault squad, and blind three assault detachments."

"Together with the recruit company, baggage company, engineer platoon, and communications platoon directly under the regiment headquarters, the total strength must exceed 3,000 people!"

Hong Linfeng's face looked a lot better, and he replied with a long breath: "This is about the same, there is finally a gap with the previous independent battalion!" Otherwise, after our expansion, the independent regiment will not be as good as the original independent battalion! ”

At this time, the mood of political commissar Wang Hong and Hong Linfeng seemed to be transferred.

Hong Linfeng's mood was better, and Wang Hong's brows immediately furrowed.

immediately reminded: "Regiment commander, chief of staff, you two don't be impulsive!" ”

"A main regiment of more than 3,000 people is really nice to say, but have you ever thought about how we can expand our troops to 3,000 people?"

"We won't discuss whether the base area has the ability to support so many troops, but where these more than 3,000 people came from!"

"If we reduce the direct attrition of the troops, and then replenish the troops with all the recruits in the recruit company, we only have a little more than a thousand people now, and we are a full two thousand short of three thousand!"

Hong Linfeng frowned and replied, "We can mobilize the captives to join us!" ”

Wang Hong did not deny: "We have prisoners in our hands, but there are only more than 800 people, according to experience, these people can mobilize more than 500 people to join us!" ”

"But even so, we still have fifteen hundred recruits left!"

Hong Linfeng frowned and continued to propose: "You can also replenish new recruits from local troops and guerrillas!" ”

Wang Hong nodded and acquiesced: "All the guerrillas and district squads in the base area add up to more than 1,200 people, and even if all the troops are replenished, we are still at least 300 people short."

"And it is simply not realistic for the guerrillas and district squads to replenish their troops entirely!"

"If there are no guerrillas and local troops, there is no way to guarantee the peacetime security of the base areas!"

"Besides, no matter how many people we draw from the guerrillas to replenish the troops, the guerrillas will eventually have to recruit new recruits from among the common people to make up for the shortage!"

"This means that the entire base area will send at least 1,500 recruits!"

"The common people now believe in us and support us, and we will definitely be able to recruit people, but there is one problem that we must take into account: our base area is too small, and the total population is tens of thousands, and the loss of 1,500 labor force at once will definitely have a great impact on the production of the base area!"

"If there is a problem in production, there will be a problem in next year's spring ploughing, which will eventually affect next year's autumn harvest and affect the base area's rations next year!"

Li Hao will not do the things that dry up and fish.

After being silent for a long time, Li Hao stared at Wang Hong and asked, "Without affecting production, how many people can be produced in the base area at most!" ”

Wang Hong already had the answer in his heart, so he replied without thinking about it: "Last time, the independent battalion was restored to full strength and recruited more than 1,000 people, and the guerrillas and local troops were half-out of production of more than 1,000 people. ”

Hearing this, Li Hao made a decisive decision: "Then add five hundred recruits from local troops and guerrillas, not one more!" ”

"There is a shortage in the guerrillas and district squads, and new recruits are recruited to replenish the troops!"

"In the next year, our independent regiment will no longer recruit a single recruit from the base area!"

Hong Linfeng was anxious again, and hurriedly asked, "Regiment leader, what about the remaining 1,000 people of the independent regiment?" ”

"It's impossible for an independent regiment to have 2,000 people at full strength! Then it's better not to expand! ”

Li Hao replied with a serious face: "I'll figure it out!" ”

Then he began to give orders: "In order to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the troops will not be affected too much because of the expansion of the troops, I have decided to take advantage of the defeat of the devils, seize the time to complete the expansion, and then start training as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness!" ”

"Each main battalion tentatively has two main force companies and one shelf company, and the original fire platoon has been directly expanded into a fire company, and there will be no replenishment of soldiers for the time being, and when I solve the problem of recruits, the four shelf companies and the fire company will be replenished to full strength!"

"The mountain artillery company has expanded the mountain artillery battalion, and it will also not replenish the troops!"

"The recruit company only retains the backbone and establishment, and all recruits are all replenished to the combat unit!"

"The unit will complete the expansion in five days, and then strengthen the training of the eight main companies that have been fully strengthened, so that they can recover and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible and protect the security of the base areas."
