Chapter 281: Independent Detachment

After Shen Cunzhi and the others left, the days of Shenquan Village returned to a brief period of tranquility.

After having food in hand, the Seventh Company recruited more than 30 recruits from Sili and Eight Townships, and finally restored the number to more than 100 people.

After the number of the team was basically full, Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu decided to reassign the organizational structure of the Seventh Company after discussion.

The team of more than 100 people was broken up and reorganized according to four platoons. According to Zhao Shixun's meaning, it is necessary to ensure that each platoon has at least five veterans, and try to keep the combat effectiveness of each platoon equal.

After a bloody battle some time ago, there were less than thirty veterans of the original Seventh Company. Especially in the platoon where Heiwa was, there was only one person left who died.

After the personnel were distributed, the platoon commanders of the platoons were also reassigned.

After the death of Zhou Dahu and Zhuzi, the establishment of the Seventh Company has not been restored, and it usually fights according to two to three platoons.

In this short repair, Zhao Shixun restored the troop establishment and rearranged the platoon commanders.

The platoon is the sharp knife of the whole company, and the platoon commander naturally fell on Heiwa's body, and at the same time, in view of the old ghost's recent outstanding performance, he made an exception and was arranged as the deputy platoon commander of the platoon.

The second platoon turned out to be an infantryman, and since Qi Baoshan came, the second platoon has always been his leader. After this period of training and actual combat, the soldiers of the second platoon were basically proficient in using the captured Japanese-style grenadiers. As a result, as the only long-range warp fire of the Seventh Company, the formation of the second platoon continued, but the number was changed to the fourth platoon. In addition, the platoon commander is still Qi Baoshan, and the deputy platoon commander is Dazhuang, who has always performed well.

After the second platoon was changed to the fourth platoon, the people in the new second platoon were replaced by pure infantry, the platoon commander was Kiko, who had always performed well, and the deputy platoon commander was Comrade Junko.

These two have always worked well together, and their names are smooth, so they are still separated.

As for the third row, after careful consideration by the two of them, the opinions of the old immortal were taken into account at the same time. The personnel of the third platoon commander were finally designated as Zhang Dapeng, and the deputy platoon commander was immortal.

Originally, Zhou Yu planned to let the old immortal lead a platoon of people and concurrently serve as the deputy company commander, because he was indeed impeccable in terms of qualifications, experience and leadership.

But when he learned that he was going to be appointed as the deputy company commander, the old immortal took the initiative to find Zhou Yu and Zhao Shixun. Then, on the grounds that he was unwell and too old, he not only resolutely did not want to be the deputy company commander, but even the platoon commander had to let him out.

The old immortal told the two that his lungs had been injured twice in a row, and his physical condition was not as good as before. If it weren't for the fact that the devil hadn't been beaten away, he would have wanted to apply for retirement and return to his hometown of Sichuan.

In this regard, Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu also know that after all, the old immortal is a person who is about to turn over half a hundred years old, coupled with the injuries in recent months, it is indeed a little difficult for the body to keep up.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu also agreed to his request.

As for Zhang Dapeng, although it turned out that he had been appointed as the commander of the fifth platoon. But by now, none of his five platoons have long since died. Although his ability is not weak, after all, the gangsterism in his body is too heavy, so at the beginning, Zhou Yu planned to only let him be the deputy platoon commander first.

However, although the old immortal was only appointed as the deputy platoon commander, he still served as the heavy machine gun squad leader and the company commander. Therefore, the big killing weapon seized by the Seventh Company was naturally left in the third row.

As a result, the three platoons now not only have the most personnel, but also far surpass the other teams in terms of firepower.

After the distribution, except for Qi Baoshan's four platoons, the other three platoons of the Seventh Company were all three or eight big covers of one water. In addition, each platoon was equipped with one light machine gun, and the whole company also had three grenadiers and one 92 heavy machine gun.

According to Zhou Yu's words, now looking at the entire Jinnan region, the firepower of the Seventh Company is definitely the first place in the company level!

Removing the gap between ammunition reserves and training levels, but in terms of small arms firepower, the Seventh Company now has no problem single-handedly picking up a devil squad, and even a devil's squadron can be hardened.

After the reorganization was completed, Zhao Shixun did not delay for a day, and almost immediately pulled the Seventh Company into the mountains, and then began strict tactical training.

Under the leadership of veterans, every recruit of the Seventh Company is growing rapidly.

……

As the days entered the end of October of the Gregorian calendar, the autumn harvest in the entire Jinnan region was almost completed. After a few days of silence, the Japanese troops who had returned to their strongholds for a short period of repair also became alive again and began a large-scale grain requisition operation.

After several months of fierce fighting, the summer grain that the Japanese puppet army in the southern Jinnan region snatched from the common people had already been consumed. In line with the policy of feeding the war with war, the plundering of autumn grain by the Japanese army was also put on their agenda.

At the same time, after several months of heavy fighting, the Japanese army also had a new change in the garrison in the Jinnan area after withdrawing the temporarily mobilized troops to their original garrisons.

In the Wangwushan Mountains and the area west of it, the main force of the Japanese garrison was the 69th Division stationed in Yuncheng.

Among them, the main force responsible for the security war in the Nakajo Mountain area is the Takeuchi United of this army. The division also has another field wing, the Fujita Wing, but the main defense area of the division is along the railway, so it poses little threat to the Nakajo Mountain area.

As a unit that participated in the Battle of Nakajo Mountain and the subsequent Autumn Sweep, the Takeuchi Wing not only committed a lot of blood debts against the people in the Jinnan area, but also fought very strongly.

The wing had two infantry brigades, commanded by Junichi Koizumi and Kuroyuki Sasaki.

Of the two infantry brigades, the Sasaki Brigade had been repairing in the Yuncheng area due to the excessive consumption of the main force of the 70th Division and the first column in the previous operation, and after the autumn sweep was over, part of the troops were assigned to several prefectures as a garrison. Therefore, the main mobile combat force in the four counties of Hengqu County, Wen County, Xia County, and Jiangxian County became an infantry brigade led by Junichi Koizumi.

……

At the beginning of November, when the Seventh Company was still nesting in the mountains, Lao He suddenly came to Shenquan Village again with important information.

……

Zhao Shixun, who was training on the mountain, heard that the comrades in the county had come to look for him, so he immediately asked Zhou Zhou Yu to return to the Zhou family compound in Shenquan Village.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the two saw Lao He, who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the two coming back, Lao He hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Company Commander Zhao, Director Zhou, I finally see you again."

shook hands with the other party, and Zhao Shixun also smiled and patted the other party's shoulder.

"Yes, as soon as Zhou Village is goodbye, we haven't seen each other for almost a month.

Hey, who is this? ”

At this moment, Zhao Shixun also saw a plainclothes man who had just come out of the house.

When the visitor saw Zhao Shixun, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Report to Company Commander Zhao, Instructor Zhou. I am Huang Jinsong, a correspondent of the first column, and I have been ordered to issue the latest order to the Seventh Company! ”

Hearing Huang Jinsong's words, Lao He was also happy.

"This kid came to me last night, so I brought it to you in a hurry."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately looked at Huang Jinsong and asked:

"Any new instructions for the column?"

"Two sir, this is not the place to talk, please come into the house with me."

……

After entering the back room, Huang Jinsong tore a mezzanine from his clothes, and then carefully took out a letter.

After opening the letter, Huang Jinsong read aloud in front of everyone:

"In view of the outstanding performance of the seventh company under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army's Jinnan Anti-Japanese Advance Column in the autumn counter-sweep, and according to the needs of the struggle against the enemy under the new situation, the original Seventh Company of the First Column is now promoted to an independent detachment of the Eighth Route Army's Jinnan Anti-Japanese Advance First Column. It is established at the battalion level.

At the same time, Comrade Zhao Shixun was appointed as the head of the independent detachment, Comrade Wu Runze was appointed as the deputy head of the detachment, and Zhou Yu was appointed as the instructor of the detachment.

The independent detachment has three companies under its jurisdiction, and the personnel are appointed by the detachment itself, and it is sufficient to report to the column on a later date.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army's Jinnan Anti-Japanese Advance Column. ”

After announcing the order, Huang Jinsong solemnly handed over the letter in his hand to Zhou Yu, and then carefully untied a bag from his waist.

"Here is a hundred oceans of funds allocated to you by the column, please take care of it."

Hearing that there were still funds, Zhao Shixun hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it.

"Political Commissar Jiang asked me to tell you that due to the enemy's severe blockade, it is difficult for the column to transport supplies to you.

This money is not much, but it is all saved by the column from the funds, and the commissar hopes that you will understand. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly said excitedly:

"Please rest assured that the commander and political commissar will definitely live up to the expectations of the column."

Hearing this, Huang Jinsong nodded, and Huang Jinsong finally asked.

"Two sir, do you have anything you need me to bring to the commander and the commissar?"

After hearing this, Zhao Shixun shook his head gently.

……

Seeing that the order was issued, Lao He on the side also walked over with a smile.

Looking at the two, Lao He first expressed his congratulations.

"Captain Zhao, Instructor Zhou, congratulations on our promotion to an independent detachment in the Seventh Company."

Arching his hand, Lao He immediately continued with a smile:

"Captain Zhao, Instructor Zhou, I have another good news to tell you here."

"Oh? And the good news? ”

Looking at the two people who were puzzled, Lao He immediately told the information he had just gotten.

It turned out that on the night when Huang Jinsong found him, Lao He's secret radio station also received a message from his superiors, saying that two medical personnel sent from the rear had arrived in Jinnan.

"What! Paramedics arrived? Where are the people? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu were both surprised, although they had brought the news of the need for medical personnel to the column, they didn't expect it to come so quickly!

"The specific address is on here, you should quickly bring someone to pick it up."

Hearing that he took the note in Lao He's hand, Zhao Shixun couldn't help but tremble.

"It's her, it's her ......."
