Chapter 203: Rapid Reaction Brigade

"Commander, commander" Suddenly, a shout reached the ears of Liu Hua, who was thinking about the problem. Liu Hua raised his head and saw Staff Officer Wang of the division headquarters running towards him in a hurry.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Staff Officer Wang, who had already run in front of him, Liu Hua asked.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, let me tell you that the soldiers of the Rapid Reaction Brigade have arrived and are now gathering at the training ground in the back mountain, and the Chief of Staff has informed you to hurry over." Counselor Wang hurriedly said.

"Come, so fast, communicator, hurry, follow me to the training ground in the back mountain" The guard behind Captain Liu Hua shouted loudly, and at the same time, he had already run quickly towards the back mountain.

From a distance, Liu Hua saw that the usually empty training ground had gathered thousands of people at this time, the chief of staff, the political commissar, and two people were standing at the door waiting for him, and there were a few cadre-looking people around him to report the situation, and he guessed that they were the few regiment commanders who led the team this time.

"Commander, you're finally here" Political Commissar Guan Xiangying said deliberately when he saw Liu Hua, who was late.

Liu Hua nodded to the two partners and walked over. looked at a few people in front of him.

"Report commander, Shen Qinghua, the former commander of the Second Regiment of the First Brigade of the Reading Division, led the team to report." Shen Qinghua stood up, saluted Liu Hua, and said.

Liu Hua nodded and returned a military salute. "Comrade Shen Qinghua, it's hard work."

"Report to the commander, Luo Zhihui, the former commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Second Brigade of the Reading Division, came to report."

"Report to the commander, Wang Benqing, the former commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Reading Division, came to report"

"Comrades, you have all worked hard, I have heard the names of several of you in the headquarters for a long time, and all of them are good at leading troops to fight. I really didn't expect that the three commanders would send their own tiger generals. Come, report on the situation of the troops you brought with you, including the equipment of the troops and the proportion of recruits. Liu Hua found a place to sit down and said.

"Head Shen Qinghua, come first!" Seeing that the three people didn't know who spoke first, political commissar Guan Xiangying reminded.

"Yes, Commander, Commissar. According to the order of the headquarters, this time I brought a reinforced regiment with a total of 2,000 troops, including 500 recruits, and the whole regiment was divided into ten companies of infantry, one 60 mortar company, and one heavy machine gun company. All the weapons and equipment are complete, it's just that "Shen Qinghua didn't know whether to say it or not."

"But what, just say anything, after the formation of the rapid reaction brigade, it will be the trump card of our readers, there must be no problems, if you have anything to say, say it quickly." The political commissar next to him reminded.

"Yes, Commander, Commissar. Since our First Brigade has been using domestically produced equipment, all of which have recently been captured by various means, our ammunition is very scarce, and now each soldier has less than half of the base amount of ammunition in his hands. Shen Qinghua said hesitantly.

"This question, it's okay, when the time comes, you all go to the director of the logistics department Wang to get two base ammunition. No matter how poor the troops are, they cannot do without ammunition for the rapid reaction brigade. Thanks to the support of the arsenal, Liu Hua at this time will no longer worry about ammunition.

"Thank you, Commander" After listening to Liu Hua's answer, Shen Qinghua said excitedly.

"Let's report to Comrade Luo Zhihui next!" Liu Hua looked at Luo Zhihui next to him.

"Yes, Commander, according to Commander Gao's order, we have drawn out a large number of elite soldiers and strong generals to form this regiment this time, including 1,600 veterans who have participated in battles, and 400 recruits have just been recruited, and the establishment is exactly the same as what Commander Shen Qinghua said just now, so I won't make a specific report. The report is over" stopped Liu Hua's store name, Luo Zhihui replied dryly.

"Yes, he is really a simple and decisive cadre. The last one, head Wang Benqing. Seeing Luo Zhihui speak crisply and neatly, Liu Hua couldn't help but admire, and looked at the last person, Wang Benqing.

"Commander, political commissar, according to Commander Wang's order, I have brought a total of 2,000 troops, and the establishment is the same as that of Commander Shen just now, but because the third brigade of Reading Li has just finished a counter-sweep, the veteran losses are very serious, so this time I only brought 1,200 veterans. However, the commander was worried that too many recruits would affect the overall combat effectiveness of the troops, so a large number of cadres at the company and platoon level were withdrawn to add them. Report complete. Wang Benqing replied with a salute.

"Well, yes, I took a look at the soldiers you brought, and they are all good. Let's go, go to the headquarters, and the cadres of our rapid reaction brigade will have a short meeting to determine the strength of the troops. Liu Hua nodded and said.

After a while, several people came to the conference room of the barracks, and when everyone was seated, Chief of Staff Li Qing took a document and stood up.

"Comrades, from now on, our rapid reaction brigade was formed. As for why the headquarters set up such a problem, I think everyone should know very well, so I won't say more. The order for the reorganization of the forces is announced below:

Comrade Shen Qinghua, commander of the 1st Regiment of the Rapid Reaction Brigade, Comrade Luo Zhihui, commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Rapid Reaction Brigade, Comrade Wang Benqing, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the Rapid Reaction Brigade.

Among them, in order to increase the marching speed of the rapid reaction brigade and embody the four words of rapid reaction in our rapid reaction brigade, the commander specially asked for 12 vehicles from the logistics department to form an automobile company of the rapid reaction brigade to ensure that the automobile company can quickly transport a battalion of troops anytime and anywhere. ”

After listening to the words of the chief of staff, everyone showed an excited smile, their own rapid reaction brigade is actually equipped with a car company, so in the future, the mobile surname of their own troops will definitely be improved by several grades, and they can also experience what a mechanized unit is.

"Is the chief of staff's order clear?" Liu Hua looked at the three regiment leaders with excited faces and asked.

"Clear," the three replied in unison.

"Okay, now that it's clear, now I'm going to announce the first order of the Rapid Reaction Brigade. After the meeting, the three regiments drove to their own camps according to the orders of the General Staff, of course, there were no ready-made barracks, and all of this required everyone's efforts. A week later, I will take the commissar and the chief of staff to the stations of your three regiments to inspect and demand that each company have its own separate barracks and separate training grounds. Questions? Liu Hua asked.

: "None"

"Okay, the second order, from now on, the task of the rapid reaction brigade is to seize the time to train, and all the missing equipment and ammunition will be collected at the logistics office. At the same time, from now on, the rapid reaction brigade must have an order signed by me and the commissar, the chief of staff, two of the three people, before it can be driven out of the barracks and into battle. If there is no order, your task is to train, and you must train a strong army that is fearful. Liu Hua replied with excitement on his face.

"Yes, resolutely complete the task"

The next day, the three main regiments, under the leadership of the staff officers of the headquarters, came to their future camp. However, there was a large vacant lot that had just been sorted out, and there was not a single house.

"Staff Officer Wang, this is our future barracks, why don't there be barracks!" Shen Qinghua, the newly appointed head of the regiment, looked at the open space in front of him with a puzzled face and asked.

"Yes, Commander Shen, when I came, the commander explained that building a new barracks is the first task received by the three main regiments, and the commander requires you to build a new barracks within a week, and when the time comes, the commander will personally come to inspect it. As for all the materials needed for the construction of the barracks, the logistics service will then bring them over. The ammunition and food you need will be brought in immediately. The staff officer who led the way hurriedly replied.

"Well, yes, I see. Correspondent: Order each company to set up its own camp, and an hour later, all the commanders above the company level will come here for a meeting. Shen Qinghua listened to the staff officer's words, nodded, and ordered the correspondent behind him.

At this time, the three regiment commanders who knew the order of Commander Liu Hua all fell into deep thought. You know, although now three regiments form new units. But, after all, the three regiments came from three different units and represented different units. So no one was convinced, and everyone secretly shouted in their hearts, hoping that they could win in the first round of the competition.

Under the pressure of this competition, the three regiment commanders can be said to have exerted all their strength and mobilized all the manpower they could mobilize to participate in the construction of the barracks. Of course, this kind of competition is also what Liu Hua is happy to see.

Because Liu Hua, who came from later generations, knew that even if a unit was at a high level and had high combat effectiveness, if there were no competitors, it would fall sooner or later. So, an order was again sent from the headquarters to the hands of the three regiment commanders, and whoever was the first to complete his barracks, the command rewarded 5 fat pigs and let the soldiers have a meal.

After there were tangible material rewards, the soldiers' motivation was even more sufficient, and in less than five days, three military camps were erected one after another.

After the construction of their own barracks, the three regiments began a large-scale training in full swing, and the rapid reaction brigade of the Reading Division slowly began to move towards regularization.

Of course, the Jinyi base area is constantly growing and growing, and the Yue army, which has been quiet for two consecutive months, is not as quiet as it seems.

After receiving the order of the supreme commander, General Terauchi Shouichi, the General Staff Department drew up a detailed plan for attacking, encircling, and suppressing operations in the shortest possible time and in accordance with the general's request, and handed it over to General Terauchi Shouichi. The general was very satisfied with the battle plan that the General Staff had spent several days preparing after reading it. Immediately ordered the ministries to begin secret execution.

As a result, the entire army in North China began to be secretly mobilized. Batches of war materials were covertly transported from the general rear of the Pingjin area to Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang

Although the actions of the Yue Army were very hidden, and although the intelligence system of the Reading Division had just been formed, this slight change still attracted the attention of the intelligence agencies, so one by one the information was transmitted to the headquarters of the base area through the radio waves, and slowly gathered into the hands of Meng Zhongheng, the director of the Intelligence Division.
