It was not just the independent battalion that was reorganized, but the entire independent regiment.

Because after two successive fierce battles in Dameishan and Feicheng, the personnel and equipment of each battalion of the independent regiment have been seriously unbalanced, like the 1st Battalion, which suffered the heaviest casualties, there are more than 100 commanders and fighters left in the whole battalion, and the losses of the grassroots officers at the company and platoon level are even heavier, which is simply nine out of ten!

Judging from the roster, there are now a total of 1,768 commanders and fighters in the whole regiment, including those of the original independent regiment, independent battalions, those who have returned from hospital injuries, and the remaining people of the 1st regiment and 1st battalion of the puppet army.

Of course, it must be noted that there are still more than 300 wounded in the field hospital in Meizhen, and these wounded have not yet returned to the team after being wounded in the previous anti-sweeping operation, and there are more than 1,300 wounded who are being sent back to Dameishan by the stretcher team.

This is really thanks to the cooperation of the little devil, the battle of Feicheng, the little devil transferred all the garrisons of the field hospital to the city, and as a result, the independent regiment took advantage of the victory to counterattack, and the field hospital was almost intact to receive it, and the medicines and medical supplies were divided between the independent regiment and the four detachments, but all the Japanese medical personnel returned to the independent regiment.

This is not that Gao Hanting is generous, but it is really that the four detachments did not have the conditions for using Japanese medical personnel.

This was not the case with the Independent Regiment, which originally had Japanese personnel in the field hospital, such as Junko Oshihara.

With these medicines, medical equipment, and Japanese medical personnel, the scale of the field hospital of the Independent Regiment has expanded considerably, and various departments have also been established, such as the field hospital, which can also receive more wounded, so that at least more than half of the more than 1,300 wounded can be effectively treated.

That is, in the near future, the strength of the independent regiment is likely to swell to more than 2,900 people!

Of course, there must be a prerequisite for this, that is, in the next two battles of Feicheng, the independent regiment must not have too many casualties, because in the next battle of Feicheng, the independent regiment will definitely lose control of the battlefield, and being injured means being killed.

However, these are things for the future, and there are currently 1,768 people in the Independence Regiment.

Xu Rui decided to reorganize the 1,768 men into four infantry battalions, a cavalry battalion, a machine gun company, plus a wolf's tooth squadron directly under the regimental headquarters and a communications team.

The reorganized structure is as follows:

Leader: Xu Rui

Political Commissar: Wang Husheng

Chief of Staff: Yang Ba Nan

Minister of Logistics: Xiao Yanyue

Communication Captain: Bai Rou (Sai Hongfu)

The one-tooth squadron directly under the regiment: Leng Tiefeng

1st Battalion: He Guangming

2nd Battalion: Manju Mountain

3rd Battalion: Xu Dekun

Independent Battalion: He Shuya

Cavalry battalion: iron steel

Cannon Company: Niu Da Zhuang

After the reorganization, the strength of the four infantry battalions, each battalion is between 300 and 400 people, the cavalry battalion suffered a lot of losses in the last raid on the devil's airfield, and has been reduced to two cavalry companies and an infantry company, with about 250 people in the whole battalion, and the machine gun company has been reorganized, and the whole company has about 150 people.

Xu Rui first summoned all the officers above the company level of the regiment and announced this plan for the whole army.

Before Xu Rui finished speaking, several company-level officers of the independent battalion had already fried the pot.

"Why should we be dismissed? We didn't do anything wrong! ”

"That's it, how can there be this, isn't this nepotism?"

"Is it true that when we are independent battalions, we are easy to bully? We don't accept this plan! ”

"Yes, I don't accept it, we don't accept this plan, it's just a matter of removing us, and we still have to poach people from our independent battalion to supplement the rest of the battalions, how can there be such a reason in the world?"

The four company commanders of the independent battalion immediately shouted, but it was Ji Cheng, the company commander of the spy company, who shouted the loudest.

Because Ji Cheng is different from the other three company commanders of the independent battalion, Ji Cheng graduated from the Central Military Academy and thinks very highly of himself, so it is difficult to accept such an arrangement, so that he, an officer student who graduated from the Central Military Academy, will go to be a deputy from a clay-legged person, and he will rest as soon as possible.

Xu Rui snorted, interrupted the shouting of Ji Cheng and several company commanders, and then said: "It seems that I didn't make it clear just now, then, I might as well re-examine it now, the reorganization plan I announced just now is not to solicit opinions, but to order, this is an order, have you heard it clearly this time?" ”

"What if you hear me clearly?" Ji Cheng Huoran got up and said loudly, "We still don't accept it!" ”

"What, you're going to disobey?" Xu Rui stared at Ji Cheng coldly, and his tone was even more murderous.

For the current situation, Xu Rui has already estimated, and he is ready to kill one or two people, so as to deter the independent battalion, Ji Cheng is an officer and student who graduated from the Central Military Academy, it is a pity to kill him, but if he has to hit the muzzle, Xu Rui definitely doesn't mind taking him as a model.

Ji Cheng hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet, and he was about to speak at that time, but Yang Bayan had already heard the undisguised murderous intent from Xu Rui's tone, and quickly got up and pulled Ji Cheng back to his seat, Xu Rui didn't even take Commander-in-Chief Gu's orders seriously, and he really dared to kill people when he provoked him!

Ji Cheng was stunned, he still didn't realize the danger, and he struggled endlessly and said: "Yingzuo, what are you pulling me to do, it's not right for the surname Xu to do this, he is doing this nepotism, it is to suppress dissidents, our independent battalion must not let him come nonsense!" ”

"Shut up!" Yang Ba was anxious, and roared loudly, "This reorganization plan was discussed by me and the group seat in advance, why, you didn't even listen to my orders?" ”

"Huh?" Ji Cheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the other three company commanders were also dumbfounded.

Yang Bayan's performance surprised Xu Rui a little, and he took a deep look at Yang Bayan at the moment, and said, "Who else wants to question my decision?" Say it out loud! ”

The entire conference room was silent, and no one dared to question it.

In fact, except for the people in the independent battalion, it is impossible for anyone to question Xu Rui.

"Well, since no one is questioning it anymore, that's it." Xu Rui pointed to the personnel roster distributed in front of each unit commander, and then said, "According to this roster, the battalion and company commanders will arrange their own troops as soon as possible, and half an hour later, the whole regiment will gather in the square outside the headquarters, and I will give a lecture!" ”

Half an hour was really tight enough, and the commanders of the troops hurriedly went their separate ways.

After going out, Ji Cheng whispered to Yang Ba Nan: "Yingzuo, why did you stop me just now?" We just can't mess around like this with the surname Xu, he clearly wants to completely annex our independent battalion, and according to his method, the independent battalion will be completely surnamed. ”

"Surname?" Yang Banan shook his head miserably, "Brother, do you think the independent battalion can still be surnamed Guo?" ”

"Why not?" Ji Cheng said excitedly, "As long as we resolutely resist, I don't believe it, can the surnamed Xu still kill all the people in our independent battalion?" ”

Yang Banan said: "It is impossible for Xu Rui to kill all the people in the independent battalion, but the question is, can he kill all the people in the independent battalion?" If you don't believe it, you go and ask Chen Mo and them again, just now they all shouted very happily, now you go and ask again, see if they will ignore you? ”

"I don't believe it, I'll go find them." Ji Cheng really didn't believe in evil, and immediately turned around and went to the other company commanders of the independent battalion, but soon, Ji Cheng came back in disgrace.

Just looking at his face, Yang Ba Yan knew that the result was not satisfactory.

"Brother, let's look away." Yang Banan patted Ji Cheng on the shoulder and persuaded, "Everyone is a smart person, and they know that they can't fight the surname Xu, so why do they have to touch his bad head?" ”

"Is that all?" Ji Cheng said unwillingly, "Are we really watching the independent battalion change its surname like this?" Don't forget, the main seat also gave you another secret order, the reason why the main seat let us join the independent regiment is to ......"

Yang Banan hurriedly interrupted Ji Cheng and said, "You are quiet, I'm afraid that others won't hear you, or what?" ”

After Ji Cheng stopped speaking, Yang Bagan continued to whisper: "Brother, this matter can't be rushed, we have to wait for the opportunity slowly, if you are in a hurry, you can only harm yourself." ”

Yang Bainan and Ji Cheng didn't know, although what they said lightly, it all fell into Xu Rui's ears word for word, although in the end Ji Cheng didn't say Gu Shutong's true intention to let them join the independent group, but Xu Rui just guessed with his ass, and he could guess it.

Gu Shutong's intentions are nothing more than two, one is to let Yang Ba Nan secretly cultivate party forces loyal to the national army and the national government in the independent regiment, so as to pull the troops over when necessary, and the other is to let Yang Ba Nan take the opportunity to get close to him and try to gain his trust so that he can take his life at a critical moment.

It's just that Gu Shutong's two attempts are doomed to fail.

Wang Husheng knew Xu Rui's plan, withdrew his gaze from outside the door, and said to Xu Rui: "Old Xu, since you know that Yang Ba is not well-intentioned, why do you still want to leave him at the regiment headquarters as the chief of staff?" If you want me to say, just send Yang Bayan and Ji Cheng back to the Third War Zone, and Gu Shutong doesn't dare to say a word. ”

Xu Rui did not answer Wang Husheng immediately, but asked an unrelated question: "Lao Wang, do you think that the Kuomintang can save China better, or do you think the Communist Party can save China better?" ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Wang Husheng said, "If I think the Kuomintang can save China better, why should I join the Communist Party of China?" Am I sick in the brain? ”

Xu Rui asked again: "Then do you think the majority of compatriots are more optimistic about the Kuomintang holding power, or are they optimistic that our Communist Party will finally win power?" ”

Wang Husheng said: "Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the performance of our Communist Party has been obvious to all, and I believe that the vast number of compatriots will definitely make the right choice. ”

"Not only will the vast number of compatriots make the right choice, but history will also make the right choice." Xu Rui said, "So you have to have firm confidence in our party, Yang Bayan and Ji Cheng stay here, sooner or later one day will recognize the essence of the Kuomintang, sooner or later one day will be assimilated by our Communist Party, hehe, Lao Tzu wants to let Gu Shu accompany the soldiers and break the general." ”

Wang Husheng said in surprise: "Old Xu, so you are very optimistic about Yang Bayan and Ji Cheng? ”

"It's kind of optimistic." Xu Rui nodded and said, "After all, the two of them came out of the Central Military Academy and received basic military theory education, so it is easier for them to accept the new tactics than those veterans from the army. ”

Wang Husheng said: "Do you really want to form an armored corps and an aviation corps?" ”

"Why not?" Xu Rui smiled and said, "According to the law of attraction, if you think about it, the dream will come true, and if you don't think about it, it will never come true." ”

"The Law of Attraction?" Wang Husheng shook his head and smiled.
