Chapter 230: Troop Reorganization

The news of the victory in Wuhu finally came out, and now Wuhan and Chongqing ...... All parts of the country are boiling, and this news is simply a shot in the arm for the current situation of frustration in the War of Resistance Against Japan!

Yes, we have lost our land, our people, and our capital. But don't think about it, the fire of the Chinese people's resistance against Japan will never be extinguished, and it will burn more and more vigorously.

The young students were furious, they were shocked by the brutality of the Japanese army in Nanjing, joined the army, and the mood for war was high.

The workers were also outraged, they worked day and night to produce all kinds of materials to support the war of resistance, and in order to fight the Japanese invaders, they vowed to produce more guns and bullets!

Farmers, small businessmen, business owners......

As long as it is a Chinese with the blood of the Chinese ancestors flowing in their bodies, after the Wuhu victory, they are all boiling.

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"Drive little Japan out of China!"

"Exorcise the Japanese ......"

Such a roar resounded throughout the land of China.

The recruitment office was almost crowded, and I had never seen people sign up for the army so enthusiastically.

At the same time, the name of the security regiment also resounded throughout the land of China, and anti-Japanese armed forces sprung up in various places.

The security regiment has also become a banner of anti-Japanese resistance!

The security regiment suddenly became the focus of public opinion in China and even the world, and everyone was speculating about what kind of army it was, and it had such great ability, a team of several thousand people, and nearly 4,000 devils were annihilated; And its own casualties were less than 1,000.

Soon, it was revealed that the leader of the security regiment was the grandson of the Kuomintang elders, and of course the government would not let go of this good opportunity to publicize it.

The news was confirmed, even a leader as strong as Lao Jiang was a little excited and couldn't hold himself, such a victory has not been heard for a long time.

With such a record, even if you lose the capital, you can still give an account to the people.

However, I am afraid that this will be a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese army, and it will also have a huge and far-reaching impact on international public opinion on Japan and Japan's domestic political structure.

"What do you think, Mr. Blei?" Although Lao Jiang was excited, he was still able to stabilize in front of his subordinates, not to mention, he also knew it before, but his fingers trembled slightly, and he handed the telegram to Chen Bulei, the director of the second division of the attendant room behind him.

"Sir, Ushijima's 18th Division has lost a wing of infantry and should not be able to advance westward. This is extremely beneficial to me in the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and at least we can buy a little time to make more active and prudent arrangements for the next battle of Wuhan. Chen Bulei said slowly.

"What Mr. Bu Lei said makes sense, the Japanese army suffered such a big blow, why should China be destroyed within three months, the Japanese are arrogant and ignorant, it is ridiculous!" Old Jiang said with a Chinese stick hitting the floor tiles heavily.

"That's what the gentleman said."

"This security regiment is very good, I want to reward all the officers and soldiers in this operation!" Old Jiang Dao. "The officers and soldiers of the department, all the officers and soldiers will be promoted to the next level, and they will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan!"

"I now think that the establishment of the security regiment can be retained and assigned to the third war zone. Compiled according to the first division! Lao Jiang said slowly.

"Assigned to the third war zone, whose command and orders should it be accepted?" Qian Dajun asked with some surprise.

"Directly under the Military Commission!" Lao Jiang thought for a moment and said heavily.

"Sir, this ......"

"It was my decision. When they arrive in Wuhan, I will personally award them medals! "Old Jiang Dao.

Qian Dajun and Chen Bulei glanced at each other, Lao Jiang seemed to be too partial to this army, could it be because of the background of the guard regiment?

"Sir, the security regiment is directly under the Military Commission, and it depends on their military exploits. No one dares to say anything, but now that they are in Zhejiang, if they are directly commanded by the Military Commission, I am afraid that they will be beyond the reach of the whip. Qian Dajun proposed.

"Well, yes, but the commander of the security regiment, don't interfere too much in the third theater, they are on the front line, how to fight, they know it themselves." Old Jiang Dao.

This is the power given to the security group to act autonomously, almost completely unrestricted by the peak, and Qian Dajun didn't say anything.

"Report" "Come in, who are you?" "Report to the head of the regiment, Ye Lili, a staff officer of the Ministry of National Defense; He is currently a staff officer and confidential secretary of the division headquarters of the Security Corps. "Security Corps Division, what are you doing here with me?" "I'll be your secretary!"

Subsequently, Ye Lili took out the documents, and the president personally signed the commendation order, promoted Qin Feng to major general, and promoted other officers to one level. The security regiment was promoted to a security division, and the establishment was established as a division of the first type, and the officers and soldiers were rewarded with 100,000 silver dollars. The troops of the Security Corps were temporarily integrated into the Third Theater of Operations and placed directly under the Military Department.

"Before the meeting, announce a few things, Zhu Ping." Qin Feng beckoned everyone to sit down, smiled slightly, and ordered Guo Zhuping.

"After discussion and decision by the Military Committee, Zhang Quanfa, chief of staff of the security regiment (for the first division - later called the security regiment will be called at the division level), with the rank of major general, will be appointed as the chief of staff of the security regiment!"

Zhang Quanfa stood up excitedly, he didn't expect that he would be promoted to major general at this time, as the chief of staff of the security regiment, if he was promoted to major general, it would be by virtue of his merits in the battle of Nanjing. It must be indispensable, but the position of chief of staff, if it is not recommended by Qin Feng, it will definitely not work.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Brother Zhang. You deserve it. ”

"Promoted to the rank of deputy regiment commander Major General Li Qinwen, deputy division commander of the security regiment."

Everyone else was also born at the first level, although it was only a small-scale meritorious reward, but this still had a strong effect on the morale of the upcoming big war, which was also strongly requested by Qin Feng.

The security regiment had four regiments, three main regiments, plus a supplementary regiment, plus an artillery regiment, and the machine gun battalion of Da Niu was now expanded into an armored regiment.

The meeting was discussed until two o'clock in the evening, and the main topic of discussion was the reorganization of the troops, and the plan for the expansion of the security regiment was made.

Although this plan is very reasonable, the upper peak may not agree, and some units will also help defend Hangzhou.

Of course, regardless of whether the summit will agree or not, Qin Feng will carry it out with his own will. Troops are fighting on the front line, and sometimes a unit is lost in a few minutes, and if it has to be organized, then the front commander will not be able to command the troops to fight.

Dispersal, centralized, integrated, and downsized, this kind of thing is a normal thing on the front line, and the front line commander has this authority.

The rapid expansion of the troops, the lack of senior officers, has become the main problem, Qin Feng of course has to take this problem into account, he did not move too much in the establishment of the troops, but in the number of people and the proportion of weapons optimized.

There have been some additions and subtractions, so that the overall reorganization plan will appear to be no problem, but in fact it will greatly improve the combat efficiency and capability of the troops.

The troops directly under the division headquarters of the security regiment.

Reconnaissance battalion directly under the division headquarters: battalion commander Li Yi, one infantry company, one cavalry company. A platoon of heavy machine guns. One of the communication classes. A mortar platoon, a technical support team, and other auxiliary personnel, a total of 520 people, usually act as a guard unit at the division headquarters and act with the division headquarters.

Artillery Regiment: Regiment Commander Marin, equipped with 24 captured Japanese 150 mm caliber howitzers, is the strongest attack force of the Security Regiment, with a number of 1,000 people.

Armored Regiment: Regimental Commander Bull. It is equipped with 32 Japanese tanks, 24 armored vehicles, an infantry battalion, and a support squadron, with a total strength of about 800 people.

Water Transport Support Brigade: Captain Wu Fei, equipped with one torpedo boat, four gunboats, and about 500 people.

The special combat team was formed as a new special operations battalion, with a regimental level, and the number of battalion commander Zhang Xiangwu was expanded to 1,000 people.

Units directly under the regimental headquarters are all standard.

One reconnaissance battalion, one cavalry battalion, one artillery battalion (12 mountain artillery or infantry guns), one engineer battalion, one communications company, one transport battalion, and one health brigade directly under the regimental headquarters.

Each regiment is equipped with 40 cars, which means that the security regiment has a lot of money, and this is the elite division of the Central Army may not be able to have 40 cars.

His regiment alone was equipped with forty vehicles.

Each regiment has three infantry regiments, and the number of each infantry regiment is controlled at about 1,800 men, and a little fluctuation is allowed up and down.

In addition, each regiment also has a supplementary regiment, three infantry battalions, and about 1,000 people.

In this way, the strength of each regiment was controlled at about 4,000 people.

The number of the three regiments, together with the strength directly under the division headquarters, the divisional headquarters organs, the field hospital, the logistics support department, and so on, was finally controlled at around 20,000 people.

An ordinary division is about 11,000 people, and generally two or three divisions form an army, and the establishment structure of the security regiment has actually reached the scale of the army level, but it is still a division.

This reorganization also includes wounded soldiers, that is, the number of soldiers in the establishment also includes wounded soldiers, except for those who are disabled and can no longer continue to serve.

Some of them are disabled soldiers, and that one is naturally retired, whether to receive a pension and go home, or go to Lishui, this depends on the wishes of each person.

The pension will not be given at once, and the government does not have so much money, and if it is given so much money at once, it will not do them any good, and if it is not good, it will harm these people who shed blood and sacrificed for the country.

According to the strategy of elite soldiers, all those who do not meet the requirements to remain in the combat unit must be cleared out, and of course, it is not to drive these people away, they are not suitable for fighting, but they are not necessarily suitable for other work, and everyone has his value.

Isn't it overkill for you to ask a scientist to go to war with a gun?

Therefore, Qin Feng demanded that this time the reorganization should be done in detail, and there must be a proper arrangement for the personnel who have been cleaned up, so as not to chill these people's desire to resist serving the country.

The focus of this plan is not on staffing, but on armament, and the security regiment is now fighting the Japanese army, which is constrained by the low logistical capacity of the rear.

Except for a small number of fully automatic equipment, such as Czech ZB light machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns, which are all weapons with stronger performance than the Japanese army in actual combat, Qin Feng naturally will not choose Japanese weapons with frequent failures and difficult operation.

For Japanese weapons, Qin Feng chose to leave them with excellent ones, but because the number was insufficient, he only had a small amount of equipment.

Artillery and the like, all of which were Japanese weapons, and some of the miscellaneous cards that were originally in their possession were donated to the Zhejiang defenders.

In this way, when the final plan was decided, the security regiment was equipped with light weapons in terms of weapons, except that the number of heavy artillery may be somewhat weak, and the equipment of light weapons completely exceeded that of a standing division of the Japanese army.

In other words, once this weapon allocation plan is implemented, the security regiment can be a division of the Japanese army head-on.

The Japanese army has a main division of the first type, with a strength of about 28,000 people, and after the final reorganization of the security regiment, the strength will be about 30,000.

The strength of the troops is also roughly equal. Of course, this is only Qin Feng's initial requirement for the security regiment, and the security regiment will maintain this scale for a long time in the future, but it is impossible to maintain this level of combat effectiveness.

As far as the present situation is concerned, the weapons are not inferior to the Japanese field divisions and regiments, there is still a big gap between the combat effectiveness and the tactical level of the soldiers, and the quality of the officers is also uneven.

The reorganization plan was then signed by Qin Feng himself, and it was reported to the Wuhan Military Commission and the chamber in secret telegram.

This reorganization plan, Lao Jiang finally pinched his nose and admitted it, and did not let Li change it.

Qin Feng had already announced the plan, and then it began, and it was a rather difficult task to complete the redressing, reorganization, training, and formation of combat effectiveness within a month.

Lao Jiang's posthumous recognition is just a matter of formalities, so that he doesn't have to hide it and do it drastically.
