The 687 regiment was transferred, and the three detachments were busy mobilizing the masses and establishing and restoring power.

The pacified Japanese army did not capture the county seat of Yuxian as it did in history, and the ambush of Qingcheng in history naturally would not have happened.

Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui calmed down and devoted themselves to recruiting troops and training the troops.

The work of recruiting new recruits was tantamount to all the shoulders of the baggage team, and the deputy captain Yang Tong was transferred back to the guerrilla brigade, leaving only the captain Chen Minghui alone, who was so busy that his mouth was blistered. Fortunately, Chen Minghui opened his mind, and mobilized the 60 recruits he recruited on the first day, and asked them to all return to the outer city of Dongguan and his own village, put up slogans, and mobilized young people, veterans, and people with skills to join the army to fight devils.

In just five days, Chen Minghui actually recruited 500 recruits for the independent battalion!

500 recruits, plus 6 recruits recruited by the independent battalion from a small mountain village, 10 recruits who joined the army from the former villagers, 40 recruits who joined the army in Yuxian County and Shouyang highwayside villages, and 50 guerrilla brigade fighters transferred by Chen Yisheng, the independent battalion has a total of 606 recruits!

At this time, Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming could not only let the recruit team train recruits, but simply broke up all the combat platoons and turned them into recruit platoons, and the cadres became recruit training instructors to concentrate on training recruits.

After occupying Yuxian City, the food for the wounded was so good, and there were medicines from the captured Japanese army, and the last 12 wounded of the wounded squad finally recovered and returned to the team. All these people are the essence of the Second Red Division of the Central Red Army, which has gone through the Long March of 10,000 miles, and everyone can be a squad leader, platoon commander, and company commander.

The Japanese army's siege of the Jin-Cha-Ji Eight-Way Roads finally ended, and the little devils retreated back to the four railway lines of Pinghan Road, Pingsui Road, Tongpu Road, and Zhengtai Road, except for the county towns of Weixian, Guangling, Fanzhi, Lingqiu, Yuanyuan, Dingxiang, Pingshan, and Xingtang.

Zhou Jianping is worthy of being a veteran general of our army, a spit and a nail. As soon as the siege of the Jin-Cha-Ji Anti-Eighth Route was over, one telegram after another was sent to Commander Nie and the Political Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and more than 20 cadres were transferred from various departments of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Region to Xiao Siming.

At this time, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was also in its infancy, and everything was difficult at the beginning, and cadres were needed everywhere. Wang Zonghuai, director of the Organization Department of the Political Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, went to the field hospital of the military region almost every three or five days, and when he was discharged from the hospital, he had to leave one cadre and be directly promoted to his post.

Fortunately, the independent battalion is only a battalion-level establishment, and for the time being, there is no need for those backbone cadres who have served at the division and regiment level of the Red Army, but cadres at the battalion, company, and platoon levels, even if they are Red Army soldiers who have gone through the Long March, and it is relatively easy to transfer.

Most of these more than 20 cadres were drawn from the 115th Division's teaching team and camp schools that specialized in training cadres, including cavalry cadres Liu Zhaoming, Ma Ming, and Wu Peng, and artillery cadres Zhao Xiuchuan, Li Hubao, and Zhao Fufu; Engineer cadres Sun Zhicheng, Tong Ming, and Meng Decai; field telephone communications cadres Rong Guanhong; confidential communications cadres Chen Qiang and Zhao Baomin; security cadres Feng Li; logistics cadres Wang Xuejun, Yang Cheng, and Sun Wenyu; political work cadres Xu Yan, Zhang Shumin, Yu Zhanshan, and Liu Xiaoxiao; and staff cadres Li Qi and Wang Wanyou.

What made Xiao Siming happiest was that the Field Hospital of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region sent him a doctor and a nurse.

This doctor's name is Wang Dao, he graduated from Peking Union Medical College, and had just arrived in Jinchaji from Beiping before the Japanese army launched the Eight-Way Siege. The nurse's name was Xu Ruping, who graduated from the nursing school of Union Medical College, and followed Wang Dao from Beiping to Jinchaji.

Peking Union Medical College enrolls no more than 30 medical students and nurses every year, with an 8-year education system, most of the teachers are hired from Europe and the United States, and the school's Chinese teachers are also from famous medical schools in Europe and the United States. To have such two medical talents, Xiao Siming is simply a treasure!

It was impossible for these two men to be transferred to the independent battalion.

The field hospital of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region itself lacks doctors, especially the detachments lack doctors, so how can they be willing to send valuable medical personnel to the independent battalion of the 115th Division, which does not belong to the series of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region? However, after Wang Dao arrived at the field hospital, he strictly followed the procedures of the professor of the Union Medical College when performing the operation, was meticulous, and was not willing to make up for it at all, which did not conform to the reality of field hospital field ambulance, which lacked medical equipment and medicines, and caused contradictions with his comrades back and forth. In addition, Wang Dao and Xu Ruping fell in love, and they were greasy and crooked, and the leaders of the field hospital of the military region thought that they did not meet the marriage and love regulations of our army's "258th Regiment", and they were afraid that the impact would not be good, so they were transferred to the independent battalion of the 115th Division.

After reporting to the independent battalion, he saw that Xiao Siming, the commander and instructor of the independent battalion of the 115th Division, was a seventeen or eight-year-old young man who was not tall.

After hearing Xiao Siming's introduction that the independent battalion had nothing except a little field first-aid medicine captured from the Japanese army, Wang Dao stopped doing it, saying that he didn't even have a scalpel, so what did he do here? turned his head and took Xu Ruping away.

This kind of talent, where will Xiao Siming let him go!

Xiao Siming told Wang Dao that surgical equipment and medicines are not a problem, and there are many of them in the Japanese army! A division of the Japanese army has four field hospitals, not to mention general medical equipment, that is, the most advanced X-ray machine, and each field hospital of the Japanese army has at least one. This thing is very easy to do, and when the training of the troops is over, there will be a battle, and there will be everything!

That's not all, Xiao Siming directly appointed Wang Dao as the director of the field hospital of the independent battalion, appointed Xu Ruping as the captain of the field ambulance team of the field hospital of the independent battalion, and authorized Wang Dao and Xu Ruping to select personnel from the recruit team to form the field ambulance system of the independent battalion.

Wang Dao asked Xiao Siming what level was the Field Hospital?

Xiao Siming replied that the field ambulance station was of a high level and was equivalent to the platoon level of an independent battalion.

Wang Dao was a little reluctant and asked when he would be promoted to the regimental level?

When this group of cadres reported, Xiao Siming already knew the basic situation, and understood that Wang Dao was in a hurry to fall in love and marry Xu Ruping!

Xiao Siming said: "Dean Wang, you are a specialized talent, and you are not subject to the restrictions of our army's marriage and love "258th Regiment". I will report to the division headquarters and ask the division political department to approve you and Captain Xu to fall in love and marry normally! ”

may really move Wang Dao and Xu Ruping is Xiao Siming's verbal promise, anyway, Wang Dao and Xu Ruping stayed in the independent camp.

Fortunately, the county seat of Yuxian County was recovered, the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army lived in the city, and the teachers and students of the No. 1 High School in Yuxian County and the Yuxian County Normal School, which were closed due to the Japanese attack, returned, and the business was also opened, and the market was restored. Among the recruits recruited by the independent battalion, there are some students who have graduated from Yuxian Normal School and No. 1 High School. Since then, Xu Ruping's field ambulance team has 20 student soldiers, all in their twenties, and after completing the initial recruit training, they will begin individual training to learn nursing knowledge and battlefield ambulance knowledge.

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region is in such urgent need of cadres, and Commander Nie can also transfer more than 20 cadres to the independent battalion, and besides, except for Wang Dao and Xu Ruping, they are all backbones of the Red Army, so it goes without saying that Xiao Siming's heart is moved.

It may be that the leaders considered that Xiao Siming's previous battle was too brilliant and expected him to lead the troops to eliminate more devils and capture more, or it may be that the proportion of rescued national* army soldiers in the composition of the independent battalion is too high, and the proportion of the backbone of the Red Army is too small, which is not conducive to the development of the troops, so they met Xiao Siming's requirements and allocated him staff officers, political workers, artillery, cavalry, and engineer cadres. In any case, such a complete cadre allocation should only be available in the Eighth Route Army-level troops!

With these more than 20 cadres, the structure of the independent battalion of the 115th Division was completely set up.

After only 15 days of initial training for the recruits, Xiao Siming decided to integrate all the recruits into various combat units, and each combat unit would conduct further training and running-in.

After Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui carefully studied it, they used the radio stations of the three detachments to make a report to the division headquarters, appointing Zheng Xiuchuan, deputy company commander and recruit captain of the former division teaching team who had been rescued, as the deputy commander of the independent battalion, Shi Poshan, deputy company commander of the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division and platoon commander of the fourth platoon, as the deputy instructor of the battalion, and Mo Shan, the former deputy instructor of the first battalion of the 685th Regiment who had just recovered from his injuries, as the secretary of the battalion general branch.

The original four infantry platoons were supplemented with new recruits and formed into three infantry companies:

Qiu Wei, the former platoon commander, was promoted to the commander of any company, Yuan Gang, the former machine gun platoon commander, was promoted to the instructor of any company, Chu Zhenan, the former deputy platoon commander of the first platoon, was promoted to the deputy commander of any company, and Zhang Shumin, a newly transferred political work cadre, was promoted to the deputy instructor of any company;

Cao Ming'an, the former commander of the second platoon, was promoted to the commander of the second company, Zhang Huaide, the former commander of the artillery platoon, was promoted to the instructor of the second company, Zhang Pengfei, the deputy platoon commander of the second platoon, was promoted to the deputy commander of the second company, and Yu Zhanshan, a newly transferred political work cadre, was appointed as the deputy instructor of the second company;

Wang Meng, the former platoon commander of the third platoon, was promoted to the commander of the third company, Chen Minghui, the former captain of the baggage team, was promoted to the instructor of the third company, Sang Gancheng, the former deputy platoon commander of the third platoon, was promoted to the deputy platoon commander of the third company, and Liu Xiaoxiao, a newly transferred political work cadre, was appointed as the deputy instructor of the third company;

Shi Poshan, the former platoon commander of the fourth platoon, was promoted to deputy instructor of the independent battalion, and Han Chunyi, the deputy platoon commander, was transferred back to the guerrilla brigade, and all the cadres and soldiers of the fourth platoon were scattered and incorporated into the other three infantry companies.

Each of the three infantry companies has three infantry platoons, one fire support platoon, and one cooking squad. Among them, the infantry platoon is full of 62 people, and the fire support platoon is organized into two heavy machine gun squads and two artillery squads according to Xiao Siming's requirements, of which two heavy machine gun squads are each equipped with a heavy machine gun, and the artillery squad is each equipped with a Type 92 infantry gun, and the strength of the entire fire support platoon is 40 people. The cooking class has a fixed number of 7 people. In addition, there are 1 clerk, 1 cultural instructor, 1 secretary general, 3 hygienists, 1 division officer, 2 correspondents, 2 signal soldiers, 1 hairdresser, and 3 breeders. With the addition of company commanders, instructors, deputy company commanders, and deputy instructors, the staffing of each company headquarters is 18 people, and the full number of the company is 251 people.
