Chapter 163: Knocking
After Su Jin's words fell, everyone in front of him looked at Zhou Yusheng with an expectant gaze, as the chief of staff of the independent brigade, Zhou Yusheng is not like the chief of staff of other units of the national army most of the time is just a decoration, since Zhou Yusheng served as the chief of staff of the independent regiment, but all the reform of the establishment of the army, the expansion of the troops, the combat plan of the troops, and the marching route must pass through his hands, it can be said that the current Zhou Yusheng is the second in command of the independent brigade worthy of the name.
Zhou Yusheng still had the same dead face that had not changed for thousands of years, and he took out a piece of manuscript paper from his pocket and read it slowly.
"With the approval of the Military Commission, the former Shandong Shigu County Independent Security Corps was expanded into the Shandong Independent Security Brigade. After the expansion, the unit will still be under the three-three system, with three infantry regiments under it. Huang Weiguo, the commander of the first regiment, Li Wei, the commander of the second regiment, and Zhang Danian, the commander of the third regiment, were promoted to the rank of colonel. Wu Yonglin, the former deputy commander of the third battalion, was promoted to the commander of the first battalion of the third regiment, Huang Jianguo was appointed as the commander of the first battalion of the second regiment, Wang Gouwa was appointed as the commander of the first regiment, one battalion and one company, the original artillery company was expanded into an artillery regiment, the company commander Bai Hongshan was promoted to lieutenant colonel and regiment commander, the original air defense company was expanded to an air defense battalion, and Li Tiezhuan was promoted to the commander of the major battalion. Zhang Xiaoyu, the former deputy commander of the artillery company, was promoted to the rank of major and transferred to the brigade headquarters as the commander of the guard battalion, and Zhou Yusheng, the former chief of staff of the regiment, was promoted to the chief of staff of the brigade headquarters and promoted to the rank of colonel......"
With Zhou Yusheng's voice, most people's faces showed joy, but some people had a sad face.
Finally, when Zhou Yusheng finished reading, Su Jin asked, "Chief of Staff Zhou has finished reading the order, do you have anything else to say?" ”
"Sir, I have something to say."
Everyone followed the sound and looked over, and it turned out to be Bai Hongshan. This guy was promoted two levels in a row from captain to lieutenant colonel, which can really be said to be the envy of many people, and everyone understands that if it weren't for Su Jin's consideration of this guy's qualifications in the independent brigade, he would still be a little worse. I'm afraid that they are already with Li Wei and Huang Weiguo, but everyone also knows very well that this lieutenant colonel is just excessive, and it won't be long before this guy will definitely be promoted to another level.
As soon as Su Jin looked at Bai Hongshan, he asked, "What does Head Bai have to say?" ”
"That's right." Bai Hongshan stood up and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Report to the chief, thank you for your attention." Not only was he promoted to the rank of officer, but he also expanded the artillery company into an artillery regiment, but the expansion was not just a matter of changing the name. Nowadays, although our artillery regiment has dozens of artillery pieces in name, most of them are light mortars of 60 caliber and 81 caliber, these artillery are acceptable as battalion and regiment-level support firepower, but they are not enough to support firepower at the brigade level, and the only artillery we can handle is only eight M107 heavy mortars, but mortars are only mortars after all, and neither power nor range can be compared with howitzers and cannons. So if possible, we still have to equip a batch of long-range artillery with more than 100 calibers. ”
Everyone laughed bitterly when they heard this, they have been fighting with the Japanese for so long, they naturally know that the larger the caliber, the greater the power, and the longer the range, but this thing is not as easy to get as a rifle, don't you see that even the Central Army only got a 150 caliber heavy artillery regiment with the strength of the old nose, but this thing is not sold to you by foreigners at all, you just have no money to buy it.
Su Jin pondered for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "I have written down this matter, and I will find a way." Captain Bai, sit down first. ”
"Yes!"
After Bai Hongshan finished speaking, he also sat down and stopped talking, he also thought in his heart that Su Jin was just comforting him when he said this. This thing is even coveted by the Central Army, isn't it embarrassing for you to ask a small brigade commander of Su Jin to get heavy artillery.
Su Jin looked around, "Is there anyone else who has anything to say?" ”
"Traveler!" It was Zhang Danian who stood up this time, and he said angrily: "Brigade seat, our troops have been expanded, but the weapons have not expired." Now in the whole brigade, except for the first regiment, which can be fully equipped with weapons, only half of the people in the second and third regiments are equipped with weapons, and half of the brothers are empty-handed. ”
Su Jin rubbed the temples on his head and said helplessly: "I already know this problem, it turns out that our army is only a regiment of more than 3,000 people. After the expansion, the number of troops swelled to more than 9,000 people and tripled, so it was indeed difficult to get all the troops fully equipped at once, but everyone can rest assured that the difficulties are only temporary, and I believe that it will not take a month for all the troops to be reequipped. Isn't there still some captured Japanese equipment in the logistics department now, let the brothers equip it first, and then we will change it back when the German-style equipment arrives in the future. ”
"This ...... All right! The corners of Zhang Danian's mouth deflated, and then he sat down again.
Seeing this, Su Jin secretly frowned, and said to Zhang Danian with a dark face: "Commander Zhang, I think you seem to be a little unconvinced, are you used to using good guys these days and feel that the use of Japanese weapons is a little down, which will damage your face Zhang Datuanza?" ”
"No, those Japanese weapons can actually be used, it's just that our brothers are used to using the original guys, and they are a little unaccustomed to changing to small Japanese goods all of a sudden." Zhang Danian had some aggrieved explanations.
"Bang!"
Su Jin suddenly slapped the table hard, pointed at Zhang Danian and scolded: "I'm not used to it...... You even told me that I was not used to Japanese firearms? Zhang Danian, you tell Lao Tzu to go outside and see what the brothers of the national army are using outside? Let me tell you, there are still many brothers in the national army outside who use Hanyang-made and old sleeves, and some brothers from the Northwest Army still hold big swords and spears. ”
These days, Su Jin has been very busy for the energy point, and after the expansion order was issued, he was already a little exhausted in order to recruit troops and get weapons and equipment, and now seeing that the people below him still disliked his Japanese weapons and equipment, the nameless fire in his heart couldn't help but flare up anymore.
"And you Li Wei!" Seeing Zhang Danian drooping his head and not making a sound, Su Jin aimed the muzzle of the cannon at Li Wei, who was gloating on the side: "Two days ago, you ran to Chief of Staff Zhou and said that one regiment can give priority to all the outfits, why can't you two regiments, and what do you say that the second regiment was raised by the stepmother, do you think that your wings are hard now, and you dare to force the palace on the chief of staff, how many dares do you have grown?" Do you believe that Lao Tzu will push you to the end and let you sit on the cold bench in the logistics office for a few years? ”
"Ah...... I ......"
Li Wei, who was originally sitting and watching a good show, didn't expect that the muzzle of the gun was aimed at him, and he was dumbfounded. And the people around him were all silent when they saw Su Jin getting angry, and they didn't dare to say anything. (To be continued.) )
