When they received the telegram from the Military Commission from the headquarters ordering all units behind the enemy to actively attack the Japanese army's lines of communication, Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui were brewing a plan for the reorganization of the main force in Leling!

The members of the Jilubian Evidence Committee, including Hu Qingyun, who commanded the Wudi Independent Regiment, Huo Cheng, who commanded the Yanshan Independent Regiment, and Xing Renfu, who commanded the 31st Brigade, all rushed back to Leling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Yan'an instructed to expand the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade into an eastward advance detachment, due to too many new recruits in the troops, all battalions were in the process of training and running-in, and the expansion order was not conveyed downward.

After all the recruits were added to the unit, the eastward advance brigade was organized into nine infantry battalions, as well as an artillery regiment, a cavalry battalion, an armored battalion, a heavy machine gun battalion, an engineer battalion, a baggage battalion, a guard battalion, a reconnaissance company, and a communications company, and the total strength of the brigade reached 6,000 people.

And that's not even counting the recruit corps that are recruiting and training!

In the more than a month since advancing into the Hebei-Shandong border, our army has already controlled the seven counties of Ningjin, Leling, Yanshan, Qingyun, Wudi, Yangxin, and Deping, and has made guerrilla attacks in the direction of Cangxian, Xinhai, Dongguang, Wuqiao, and Lingxian, thus initially forming a base area along the Hebei-Shandong border. The situation of the War of Resistance in the Jilu Border Region has undergone fundamental changes.

Needless to say, in the counties controlled by our army, the local underground party organizations were restored wherever the troops fought, and with the support of the troops, they were busy organizing political power at the county, district, and village levels, and forming local armed forces at the county brigade, district squad, and militia levels. Under this general trend, in addition to running to join the Japanese puppet army, those small groups of miscellaneous armed forces can only accept changes and integrate into the county brigades and district squads that are being formed in various counties.

As soon as the first batch of recruits was sent away, the new regiment began to accept new recruits sent from various places for training, mainly the recruits from the county brigades sent by the five counties of Ningjin, Leling, Yanshan, Wudi, and Qingyun for training.

The recruit regiment has been ordered to go to Wudi, establish a recruit training base in Wudi, and according to Xiao Siming's order, train troops and organize cantonment.

Along with the new corps, there was also the arsenal. They also have to go to the seaside area in the north of Wudi to build factories and produce.

Originally, the plan was to move the Jilu Border Military and Political Committee and the Jilu Border Military and Political School to Wudi, but the main force was being reorganized in Leling, and Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming were busy with the military training, and the Military and Political Committee could not be transferred to Wudi for the time being.

The problem we are facing now is that the main force must be expanded, and the main force of the nine battalions must be reorganized into three regiments, and the military and political committee cannot always directly command the nine battalions!

On the issue of troop expansion, Yan'an's instructions and telegrams have already made it very clear, and it is just a matter of doing so. It's just that the Yan'an instruction telegram did not appoint the leaders of each regiment after the reorganization of the troops, and it needs to be studied by the Jilu Border Military and Political Committee and reported to the division headquarters and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters for approval!

In accordance with the spirit of Yan'an's instructions, after the Fifth Detachment and Xiao Hua led the brigade headquarters to advance to the Jilu border, our army on the Jilu border will be expanded into three brigades and nine regiments. At present, in addition to the Wudi Independent Regiment, the Yanshan Independent Regiment, and the newly reorganized Deping Independent Regiment, the advance brigade and the 31st detachment will be expanded into four main regiments. Among them, on the basis of the advance brigade, the three main regiments of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd were expanded; On the basis of the 31st detachment, the 4th regiment was expanded.

When Xiao Siming reported to the division headquarters, he said that the 1st, 4th, and 7th battalions were organized into the 1st Hebei and Lubian Regiment, the 2nd, 5th, and 8th battalions were organized into the 2nd Hebei and Lubian 2nd Regiment, and the 3rd, 6th, and 9th battalions were organized into the 3rd Hebei and Lubian Regiment.

The purpose of this opinion is to keep the combat effectiveness of the three main regiments balanced!

Hu Qingyun, chief of staff of the eastward advance detachment, disagreed with Xiao Siming's opinion and proposed that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions should be organized into the first regiment, the 4th, 5th, and 6th battalions as the second regiment, the 7th, 8th, and 9th battalions as the fourth regiment, and the 31st detachment as the fourth regiment in accordance with the instructions of the superiors.

Hu Qingyun's opinion is also reasonable, that is, to ensure the combat effectiveness of the fist head team!

As a matter of fact, as a result of this training, the combat effectiveness of the nine battalions has been basically leveled, because Xiao Siming is engaged in a large-scale integration, and veterans and recruits have been scattered and reorganized, such as the newly built seventh, eighth, and ninth battalions, and many veterans have also been transferred. It's just that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions are well equipped, all of them are Japanese-style equipment, and each battalion has a machine gun company. Because there were not so many infantry guns, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth battalions did not have machine gun companies, and their strength was one company less than that of the first, second, and third battalions.

In battle, there is no heavy firepower of the machine gun company, and the difference in combat effectiveness is huge.

In other words, Hu Qingyun's opinion is to ensure the strong combat effectiveness of the first regiment that is about to become, but it will cause the second and third regiments to lack heavy firepower!

Unexpectedly, after thinking about it, Wang Lushui agreed with Hu Qingyun's opinion and said that the inheritance of all units should be maintained!

This is the cruel period of the Anti-Japanese War, and the little devils have not really fought against the Jilu border, and when the little devils kill the Jilu border with a large army, needless to say, the battle will definitely be very cruel. What does it mean to have a fist force that can fight well, or a real main force, whether it is Wang Lushui or Xiao Siming, they all know it very well in their hearts.

Not to mention anything else, once it falls into the encirclement of devils, as long as a regiment moves with the detachment headquarters, it is possible to protect the detachment leader to break out of the encirclement. If you change to other troops, you may have a lot of sacrifices!

Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun thought too deeply!

Xiao Siming didn't have this kind of thought, because he never thought that he would fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army. In his mind, it was all about actively attacking, only for him to fight devils, and there was no part for the little devils to besiege him. However, Xiao Siming also knows that the little devil is not weak, he is both strong and cunning, looking at their encirclement posture in Xuzhou, you can know that the little devil is ruthless and powerful.

There is another problem, that is, according to Yan'an's instructions, after our army in the Hebei-Shandong border is organized into three brigades and nine regiments, it is necessary to transfer the two main regiments that are fully manned to return to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area. It is worth thinking about which two regiments will be transferred at that time. First of all, it must be the main force regiment, and it must be able to fight tough battles, so it is very likely that the second and third regiments of the eastward advance detachment will be transferred back to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area in the future.

From this point of view, it is all the more important to ensure the strong combat effectiveness of a regiment.

As for why the main regiment of the eastward advance detachment was transferred back to Yan'an, instead of the main force regiment of the five detachments or the 31 st detachment that was about to arrive to defend Yan'an, the reason is very simple: the advance detachment is a new unit of our army, and returning to Yan'an is conducive to the further consolidation of the troops. The 31st detachment is all soldiers of the Jilu border, which is more suitable for persisting in the struggle of the Jilu border; As for the five detachments, they have the foundation of the old Red Fifth Regiment, and they have not absorbed so many national* army routs like the advance detachment, and the composition of the team is more pure.

Xiao Siming, who figured this out, suddenly felt that Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun were actually smarter than him!

In this way, Hu Qingyun's opinion was adopted, and Xiao Siming's plan was revised, and it was decided that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions should be organized into the 1st Hebei and Lubian 1st Regiment, the 4th, 5th, and 6th battalions would be organized into the 2nd Hebei and Lubian 2nd Regiment, and the 7th, 8th, and 9th Battalions would be organized into the 3rd Hebei and Lubian Regiment.

When discussing the organization of the 31st Detachment into the Fourth Regiment of the Hebei-Lubian Regiment, Xing Renfu put forward his own opinion, that is, from the perspective of the united front, it is best to retain the number of the "31st Detachment."

Xing Renfu's proposal was severely criticized by Huang Hua!

At this time, Wang Ming had already returned to Yan'an and began to peddle his theory of "everything going through the united front", accompanied by the theory of "sutuo".

This Wang Ming, who is extremely left or extreme right, is still full of ink, and is good at writing long articles, and he also has to give lectures in party schools and publish them in newspapers, which is very demagogic!

Historically, it was precisely because of the confinement of the united front that our army on the Jilu border missed the opportunity to thoroughly reorganize Zhang Ziliang's troops and Cao Zhendong. Both of these units received the name of our army and later broke away from our army. Zhang Ziliang, in particular, became the sworn enemy of our army until it was eliminated.

The reason why Xing Renfu proposed to keep the number of the 31st Detachment was actually that he was afraid that his military power would be cut after the reorganization.

There is another reason, that is, Wang Zhaoming, deputy commander of the 31st Detachment, does not agree to the reorganization, the reason is very simple, that is, the 31st Detachment is a **** unit with an official number, and it cannot be reorganized as part of the 18th Group Army.

Because he had a small abacus in mind, Xing Renfu raised the issue of retaining the number of the "31st Detachment" from the perspective of the united front.

Historically, after Zeng Guohua led the five detachments and Sun Jixian led the Jinpu detachment to advance to the Hebei-Shandong border, the Ji-Lu border military and political committee was established for the first time to reorganize our army in the Hebei-Shandong border. At that time, Xing Renfu raised this question. The solution was to reorganize the 31 st Detachment into six detachments, and at the same time to take care of the needs of the united front, transfer three incorporated miscellaneous armed forces into three companies, and continue to use the name "31 Detachment." This is what the people of Jilu often call the "small 31st detachment", which is still commanded by Xing Renfu and Wang Zhaoming as deputy commander.

Later, Wang Zhaoming defected with a company of the "Little 31st Detachment" and was chased and eliminated by the special service company of our fifth detachment. Wang Zhaoming himself fled to Liu Jingliang's ministry and was later executed by Liu Jingliang.

Now and unlike in history, the first to advance to the Jilu border was the eastward advance brigade led by Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui, that is, the eastward advance detachment that was about to be expanded. Needless to say, Xiao Siming will not give Wang Zhaoming a chance to defect with his team; Wang Lushui, since working with Xiao Siming, he has been infected by him, and his style has become tougher, and he will not agree with Xing Renfu's opinion of retaining the number of "Thirty-one Team".

Besides, there are no conditions for forming a "small 31st team" now. Xiao Siming pursued a policy of thorough reorganization, and except for the 31 st Detachment, the other armed forces in our party's control were all reorganized into the main force, and the other miscellaneous armed forces, which were originally organized into the "Small 31 Detachment," were mixed into the 31 Detachment, and as for the reorganized Zhang Ziliang and Liu Yanchen Units, they were organized into the Wudi Independent Regiment and the Yanshan Independent Regiment as a whole. Including the newly reorganized Cao Zhendong, it was also organized as a whole as the Deping Independent Regiment. Isn't there a unit that can continue to use the number of the 31st team!
