Chapter II: New Independent Regiments
As soon as Wei Zongliang said this, before Gao Quan could speak, Staff Officer Qiao's face sank first. He just said that he asked Gao Quan not to bring too many people over, and if they agreed, he would bring fifty people, which was quite face-saving, and he also agreed, this Wei Zongliang said this now, isn't it ugly for himself!
Of course, Staff Officer Qiao thought about the consequences of Gao Quan if he took all the officers of the 256th Regiment away, but what he thought was that the officers of the 256th Regiment all followed Gao Quan, didn't you Wei Zongliang just arrange your own manpower at will! How? Just because there are fifty people, there are more people who are suspected of being taken away? This Wei Zongliang is too petty! Staff Officer Qiao was annoyed in his heart, but finally suppressed his anger, and looked at Gao Quan with a smiling face to see what he said.
Staff Officer Qiao's expression, Gao Quan saw it in his eyes, and knew that this Staff Officer Qiao didn't dare or didn't want to offend this Wei Regiment Leader, too, the two of them came together, if they had a dispute in front of themselves, no one would look good on their faces, and looking at this Wei Regiment Chief's style, I am afraid that the backstage would not be small.
"Okay, since Captain Wei has said so, then I'll only bring forty people."
After all, this army is not a vegetable market, and the two regiment commanders are not vegetable sellers, just take a step back and make concessions, of course Wei Zongliang can't care anymore. So, in addition to taking away all the people he brought over, Gao Quan also selected a group of outstanding fighters from the regiment. Of course, the platoon commander still left some for Regiment Commander Wei, otherwise, even if Wei Zongliang had already verbally agreed, he would probably hold a grudge for a long time. As for those battalion commanders, because they are all Gao Quan's well-deserved henchmen, they naturally want to take them all away. Gathering enough forty people, as his own small team, under the leadership of Staff Officer Qiao, he went to the temporary garrison of the newly formed independent regiment located on the shore of Qinshui.
The newly formed independent regiment sounds like the establishment of a regiment, but in fact, all the men and horses added up are only in their early 800s, and even two full-fledged battalions are not enough.
The small number of people is only one aspect, and when they entered the barracks, Wang Dazhu, Qian Sixi and other Gao Quan's henchmen were dumbfounded. The whole group of 800 people stood in the open space, divided into two distinctly bounded parts, although one side stood straight, but there was no formation at all, and they stood together haphazardly; On the other side, although they stood in a queue, there were really few people standing, squatting, sitting, picking their ears, tickling, doing everything, even the group of people who were standing, they were all standing crookedly.
A large group of people came in at the gate of the camp, and these people who were sitting or squatting slowly got up, and after a few minutes of queue, they finally had a little appearance. And the group of people on the left, who were already standing straight, stood even straighter, and it could be seen that they were trying hard to stand in formation, but the harder they worked, the more they stood like a bunch of idlers.
In the whole barracks, there was finally a regular point, at the gate of the barracks, there was a duty officer wearing armbands and hanging ensign epaulettes, after asking the identity of the group of people who came in, he trotted to the front of the two groups of people in the open space, and shouted: "All stand upright!" Then he ran to the front of the high school and saluted, "Please give a lecture to the head of the regiment!" ”
As soon as the group of soldiers who were sitting or standing just now heard that it was the regiment commander who arrived, the lazy habit immediately changed, and all the soldiers stood straight in the shortest possible time, and although the queue was not very neat, it was also lined up in a real square formation of several hundred people. The crowd on the left stirred a little and stopped down, they were standing very tight now, and it was impossible to get together again, so everyone couldn't really crowd people, and there would be no gaps at all, right?
Well, this is my independent group! Gao Quan shook his spirits, strode to the front of the team, first raised his hand and saluted a military salute, his eyes swept from left to right, and all the soldiers he saw couldn't help but puff up their chests. "Soldiers, brothers of the newly formed independent regiment, I am your regiment commander, and my name is Gao Quan. Now please take turns to say your name, from right to left, the first row is finished, the second row, everyone says their name out loud, okay, start now! ”
"Sun Yuanqing!" "Zheng Zhaoxing!" “……!”
The soldiers shouted out their names one after another, and the forty people behind the tall body, also led by Wang Dazhu, walked quickly to the middle of the queue and followed the soldiers to report their names loudly.
"The Japanese are invading our country and slaughtering our parents and families. No matter what you used to do, since you are standing here now, you are all soldiers of the party-state. As a soldier, when the country is in danger and the people are in danger, you should stand up, you should serve the country, serve the leader, serve the country and the people, and fight with the little devils to the end! ”
Gao Quan delivered an impassioned on-site inaugural speech, although it can't be said that this will mobilize the morale and morale of the troops, at least, let these people know their future fate, since you have come to my regiment, you will do it with the little devils in the future, now take preventive shots in advance, to prevent someone from seeing the little devil in the future and weaken their legs, turn around and run away.
Then Gao Quan decisively appointed Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi as the commanders of the first and second battalions of the newly formed independent regiment, Zhang Erxiao as the commander of the third battalion, and the rest of the people also arranged their own positions. In short, their own people were arranged in various positions, in front of the staff officer of the military department, and in front of the soldiers of the whole regiment. The officer on duty was appointed by Gao Quan as the captain of the military police, specializing in military discipline. Seeing that this kid seems to have a little prestige among this group of people, Gao Quan asked him to serve as a supervisor, which should still play a certain role in stabilizing the morale of the army.
Staff Officer Qiao has been standing beside him, smiling at the inaugural speech of Gao Quan, of course, the theme of anti-Japanese resistance at the moment, our army has started a big war with the little devils in many battlefields across the country, hundreds of thousands, millions of troops are fighting to the death with the devils, thousands of hundreds of thousands of soldiers died on the front line, the little devils insult me too much! The anti-Japanese theme that Gao Quan talked about at this time is in line with the spirit of the current leader. As soon as Gao Quan's inaugural speech ended, Staff Officer Qiao returned to the military headquarters to resume his life.
Gao Quan knew that he was going to report everything he had seen when he came to read the order today, but after he realized that there was nothing arrogant or taboo about what he had done, he didn't think about those idle things anymore, and what he was most anxious about now was how to improve the combat effectiveness of this army. As a regiment-level unit, 800 people is too little, where else did Gao Quan think of to get enough soldiers to turn his regiment into a full, or even overstaffed regiment?
Training is necessary, and training like the 256th Regiment, although it is a little more intense, is still very necessary for troops who may go to the front at any time. Qian Sixi once asked Gao Quan: As soon as we got acquainted with a unit, the commander gave us another place, since we changed it so frequently, why did we put so much effort into training the troops? It's better to mix it up casually, and there will be a change of troops in the future anyway.
Gao Quan's answer was: Only after training can the troops have combat effectiveness on the battlefield, and the soldiers can have more chances to save their lives when they fight the devils. It can save the lives of more Chinese soldiers, kill more little devils, and free China from foreign humiliation as soon as possible. Personal gains and losses, and the country, and the nation, and the lives of thousands of soldiers, insignificant, if not, not enough to save my China, Gao Quan is willing to do so for the rest of his life!
