Chapter 52 Expansion and Reorganization of the Army
At the top of Yangjiazhai, the main peak of Pine Ridge, with the return of Zhao Zhigang, a reorganization was carried out under the organization of Yang Xingguo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the surface, Yangjiazhai still claims to be bandits.
However, within Yangjiazhai, various titles have become military positions.
Because Yangjiazhai suddenly had dozens of elites from Zhao Zhigang and more than 300 recruits from Wang Hu's hard work.
The number of bandits in Yang Xingguo's hands suddenly exceeded five hundred.
Faced with this astonishing number, Yang Xingguo directly reorganized more than 500 people into a battalion......
Yang Xingguo considered himself the commander and concurrently served as the commander of a company, which was expanded from the original platoon......
Wang Hu is the deputy commander and concurrently the commander of the second company, which is made from the original second row of insects......
Zhao Zhigang, who had just defected to Yang Xingguo, served as the commander of the third company, which was expanded by some of the old brothers brought by Zhao Zhigang......
As for the second uncle Zhou Zhongju, he served as the chief of staff and the commander of the recruit baggage company, responsible for all logistics and recruit training in the cottage......
A new heavy machine gun platoon was formed, divided into two heavy machine gun squads and one guard baggage squad, equipped with two heavy machine guns, with Zhong Hu as the platoon commander......
A cavalry platoon was formed, forty people, and as for the platoon commander, I personally served as the platoon commander for the time being......
The guard squad, reconnaissance squad, and sniper squad were expanded into platoons respectively......
The expansion of the army is a happy thing for Wang Hu and others who are qualified to discuss this matter.
Therefore, as soon as Yang Xingguo's decision was exported, several people agreed with it.
However, this good atmosphere did not last long, and several people began to argue.
Two heavy machine guns, they knew that they couldn't have a share, but when Yang Xingguo returned to the cottage, they saw the powerful light machine guns and hundreds of Mauser pistols.
Because only one Madsen light machine gun was seen, all three companies wanted to get him......
As for the Mauser pistol, everyone wanted to form a pistol squad in their company that could engage in close combat, increasing the company's combat effectiveness and ability to respond to emergencies.
For these disputes, Yang Xingguo did not show any dissatisfaction, but looked at all this with a smile on his face.
In Yang Xingguo's view, their quarrels were all aimed at improving the combat effectiveness of the troops. Only when a unit has such a steady stream of disputes will its combat effectiveness be continuously improved in the course of such disputes and comparisons.
Just when several subordinates were about to reach the point of red faces because of a dispute, Yang Xingguo finally spoke.
"Okay, don't fight...... After the expansion of our Yangjiazhai, each company will be equipped with a machine gun squad and equipped with two Madsen light machine guns......"
"In addition, each company has a guard squad, a scout squad, and a baggage squad...... The total number of people in the company was 180. ”
"As for the more than 100 Mauser pistols I brought back, the squad leaders, platoon commanders, and deputy platoon commanders of the three combat companies, all of them were equipped with two guns, one long and one short, so I gave twenty for each company. As for the company commander and deputy company commander, all armed with revolvers......"
"As for the reason, it's very simple...... In the course of the battle, it is your squad leader who really faces the enemy, not you...... That's why the more powerful Mauser pistol, I am equipped with the squad leader and not you......"
"The rest of the Mauser pistols, all of which are given to the three platoons of reconnaissance, guards, and snipers......"
As soon as Yang Xingguo's decision was exported, Wang Hu, who was stunned for a while, spoke......
"Big Boss...... Forehead...... No, Commander, the pistols are divided like this, I have no opinion. However, I don't understand the Madsen light machine gun......"
"A company is equipped with two, and all of them add up to six, do we have so many light machine guns in our cottage?"
Several other platoon commanders also pricked up their ears, wanting to know the answer.
Yang Xingguo smiled and replied confidently: "Since I said it, I must be able to do it......"
"I'll tell you, this time I didn't buy one Madsen light machine gun, I bought eight...... As for the remaining seven, at most a month, the German foreign firm in Lushun will be sent to Anshan County to trade with us...... Rest assured, I can't miss your ......."
After Yang Xingguo made a decision, another question was asked by Zhang Hu.
"Commander, there is no problem for a few of us to be company platoon commanders, but the remaining squad and platoon commanders and a few deputy company commanders are directly promoted from the original squad and platoon commanders and veterans or ......?"
The answer to this question is clearly more appealing than the distribution of equipment.
Later generations of Taizu had a good saying, as long as there are people, there will be fights and factions......
Although these people in front of them are all heartfelt to Yang Xingguo, they also have their own interests and henchmen under the condition of ensuring loyalty.
Now that they have been promoted, in order to increase their strength and influence in the cottage, of course they also hope that those henchmen will be promoted with them.
Yang Xingguo, who came from later generations, of course knew a little bit of caution in the hearts of these people.
Therefore, without letting everyone wait too long, Yang Xingguo, who quickly flashed a smile on the corner of his mouth, spoke.
"I have said since I took over as the big boss that in our Yangjiazhai, if you want to get status, you have to rely on your strength......"
"As long as you have strength, you can be an officer...... However, if he doesn't have the strength, no matter how high the official position is, I will take it down for him......"
"Those cottage old people who were hastily promoted more than a month ago, after such a long time, it can already be seen whether they have the ability to be officers...... I decided to promote according to the standard of the capable and the mediocre...... Those recruits who have experienced battles, who are capable, can also be promoted to squad leaders......"
"However, after all squad and platoon leaders were promoted, they had to be reassigned to three operational companies and several direct platoons......"
"As for the old brothers you brought into the cottage Lao Zhao, I have gotten along with them, hello, there are many people who are good seedlings to be officers. So, I'll give you three platoon commanders, five deputy platoon commanders, and twenty squad leaders, and you pick out all the capable old brothers......"
"Of course, after these old brothers become officials, they must be redistributed by me, just like those old people in the cottage......"
"I'll give you a day, and after a day, I'll see the list of all the squad leaders......"
"At this time in two days, I will officially announce to you all the appointments of all officers in the battalion......"
The right to promote officers is handed over to everyone, and the right to assign officers is held by themselves. It can not only make a few henchmen feel their trust in them, but also let them have an explanation for their henchmen.
At the same time, it is possible to make a fact clear to everyone by assigning officers.
The army under one's command will always be an iron-clad battalion, and it is impossible for anyone to cultivate a private army in the army.
