968. The third battalion of the 305th Regiment was rebuilt

Even if Niu Gu brought the guerrillas over, except for the local troops, they would be accepted, but the 51st Division was an elite unit of the Military Commission, and it was impossible to give it the same good treatment as the local troops.

Besides, the people are loyal to the salvation army itself, so all this is useless. Therefore, it is better to leave Baohua Mountain as the king of the mountain and the fragrant sweets of the headquarters of the Loyal Salvation Army, although the field troops can return, but it is very unrealistic in their duties.

In this way, the Baohuashan Brigade only dispatched a company and brought it to Tie Nong, followed by Lao Li Tou and Da Shu, and others as well as Tie Nong's original subordinates Lian Fushou, Zhu Dayong, Li Hailong and other platoon commanders.

Niu Gu, Chen Lisheng, Song Junbao, Qi Yongqing, Wei Pan'an, Zhou Guangcui, Li Qingwang, Gouzi, Wood, Stinky Beans, Donkey Eggs, Chen Defu, etc., stayed in Baohua Mountain.

Ling Qimei, Li Lanfeng and others are also the women's self-defense forces in Baohua Mountain, and the base areas of Shan Hongpei, Xiao Dong, Ning Guoyun, Water Ghost, and Yamao Lingyan Mountain in Jiangbei have close cooperation with the 112th Division of the Northeast Army.

……

After the battle of Wanjialing, the 74th Army suffered heavy casualties, from nearly 20,000 people who participated in the battle at the beginning, nearly 10,000 were killed or wounded or missing, basically more than half of the casualties were killed.

Most of the battalion commanders, company commanders, and platoon commanders below the regiment commander were wounded and many were killed in battle, so there was an urgent need to replenish the grassroots officers and combat soldiers.

Among them, the 305th Regiment suffered even heavier losses, the regiment commander Tang Shenghai was seriously wounded, the deputy regiment commander and the commander of the third battalion, Liu Guangyu, was also wounded, all the three battalion commanders were wounded, and the nine company commanders, except for the three dogs and the first and second company commanders, were all killed and seriously wounded.

The commanders of the eighth and ninth companies of the third battalion were killed in battle, and the soldiers of the two companies were basically lost, and only a dozen people from the seventh company were left in the entire third battalion.

The 305th Regiment was in urgent need of reconstruction, and the Third Battalion was even more so, so when Tienon brought a reinforced company of soldiers over, the Acting Elder of the 305th Regiment was always very happy, and immediately notified Sangou to rush back to rebuild the Third Battalion.

However, this time, because the 74th Army continued their previous brave style in Wanjialing, it became one of the troops that killed the most enemies, and once again attracted the attention of the command.

The 74th Army was designated by the General Headquarters as a strategic general reserve directly under the Central Military Commission, and the 57th Division, a veteran powerhouse of the 2nd Army, was specially transferred to the 74th Army.

Since then, the 74th Army, the "35th Army", was officially merged, and the three divisions were the 51st, 57th, and 58th Divisions, which later became the famous 35th Army, and also made the Japanese army pay enough attention to the "Tiger Force".

In addition to the transfer of the 57th Division, the 51st and 58th Divisions also transferred a large number of recruits to supplement it, and the third battalion of the 305th Regiment was rebuilt by Sangou as the acting battalion commander.

Sangou asked Xiucai to be the commander of the seventh company and set up the old seventh company, with Wu Dingli, the first platoon commander, Xia Chen, the second platoon commander, and Hu Shouqing, the third platoon commander.

The dog leg was proposed to be the commander of the eighth company, the first platoon commander Peng Changhua, the second platoon commander Yang Chengzu, the third platoon commander Chen Yanxin, and the company trainee officer was Luo Xian, who came with the recruit company.

He was asked to be the commander of the ninth company, the first platoon commander Lian Fushou, the second platoon commander Zhu Dayong, the third platoon commander Li Hailong, and the company trainee officer was Tao Wei, who was followed by the recruit company. The rest of the warriors, almost all of whom were brought to Baohua Mountain.

The bamboo pole was proposed to be the commander of the machine gun company, the first platoon was the leader of the turnip, the second platoon was long potato, the third platoon was the commander Wang Weidong, and the company trainee officer was Du Yanqing, a platoon mortar master.

At the same time, a battlefield medical center was established, the director was a monk, and Xiaohe belonged to the monk's assistant. There is also the special agent chief of the battalion headquarters, who is served by Lao Li Tou, who is also the leader of the cooking squad.

Others, such as Da Kui, Da Niu, Tie Shu, Silly Tiger, Shi Ling, Goudan, Song Defang, Chen Datong, Zhao Liangdong, Zeng Ducheng, Wei Chaoying, Lin Sihan, Liu Sole, etc., all became squad leaders in the two companies of the Seventh Company and the Eighth Company.

Niu cub Jiang Zhonghan continues to be Sangou's guard, but now he is promoted to the squad leader of the guard class, and Sangou now has a squad of guards to protect him.

Originally, as a battalion commander, he could have a platoon of guards, but Sangou felt that there was a shortage of soldiers now, and there was no need to transfer so many people as guards, and his personal safety was still secondary.

Secondly, Sangou feels that he is still an acting battalion commander, and before he became a regular, he was not a battalion commander, and he could not enjoy the treatment of the battalion commander, so he had to keep a low profile and work hard.

Therefore, it is already possible to arrange a guard class, although Xiucai dog legs they are not at ease, but Sangou arranged the monk and Lao Li Tou and others in the camp headquarters, which is safer.

According to the previous practice, the deputy position was generally held by Xiucai, but this time Xiucai was not asked to be the deputy battalion commander, which is also the same sentence, Sangou is just an acting battalion commander, and there is no need to arrange a deputy battalion commander for the time being.

But within the third battalion, the rules and conventions dictate that Xiucai still came to take this position, even if he had no name, Sangou also considered that after the completion of this recruit training, he would send these company commanders to the officer training camp held by the division headquarters to study.

Although in terms of ability, Xiucai, Dogleg, Bamboo Pole, and Tienon have no problem being a company commander, but they are all officers who have been promoted by grassroots soldiers, and when they reach the company commander, they are almost at the end.

At that time, there was an unwritten rule in the army, and officers who were promoted to the rank of company commander were generally difficult to be promoted, and those who wanted to be battalion commanders should at least have studied in the officer training camp in the army.

If you graduated from the Central Military Academy, from company commander to regiment commander, as long as you have military merits and qualifications, there is generally no problem, and you can be promoted step by step.

It is difficult to reach the regiment commander and above, not only because of the military merits and qualifications, but also because there are many factors such as political factions within the army.

Sangou is a meritorious hero and an old-qualified company commander of the 305th Regiment, so these candidates he proposed were almost passed by the regiment headquarters without moving, as for the brigade headquarters, they will not care so far, at most the company commander will have to pass it.

Moreover, the third battalion, as the battalion that can fight and sacrifice the most, also has a special treatment, that is, the three dogs are allowed to propose the formation of a machine gun company.

Before, it was a machine gun platoon, and Sangou felt that the machine gun was too important for the infantry battalion, and it was necessary to rise to the scale of the machine gun company.

In fact, in other infantry regiments, there is also a machine gun company, and in a battalion, there are at most four infantry companies, and there is no full-time machine gun company.

But Sangou has the talent of bamboo poles and radish, as long as the weapons and ammunition are in place, a machine gun company will be established immediately, and there is no problem at all.

In addition, the acting commander of the 305th Regiment this time is Chang Demao, the former commander of the machine gun company, the commander of the machine gun company, no matter whether his position can be held firmly now, at least for now, he still recognizes and respects the machine gun unit.

Speaking of weapons and ammunition, it didn't take two days for it to come, and when several companies of the third battalion were training recruits, a batch of brand-new Soviet-style weapons came, which were given priority to the 74th Army.

As mentioned earlier, Germany and Japan became allies, no longer exported weapons and ammunition to China, and even military advisers were withdrawn.

At this time, the Soviet Union hoped that China could hold Japan back, prevent Japan and Germany from attacking them at the same time, and avoid the danger of being flanked by both sides, and the Soviet Union vigorously assisted China.
