Section 22 Establishment of Independent Regiments

Originally, the 302nd Regiment had only three combat battalions, but after the reorganization at this moment, in addition to the regimental headquarters battalion, which greatly strengthened the combat troops, an additional infantry battalion was also added, so that the main infantry battalion reached three, plus the cavalry battalion and a field supplementary battalion, and the independent regiment was fully composed of nearly 4,000 people, and all of them were combat units.

The commander of the first battalion is naturally Liu Wenfeng, with his combat ability and seniority in the regiment, the position of the commander of the first battalion will not be the second person, if Shi leaves the independent regiment one day, he and Lin Xiufeng are the most powerful contenders for the position of regiment commander. After Li Wenguang was transferred to the regimental headquarters as the commander of the battalion, Cheng Chong assumed the post of battalion attached, with three infantry companies and one machine gun platoon under his command. The commander of the first company was taken over by Wang Laoliu, the commander of the second company was the pole, and the former commander of the second company, Wu Tou, was seriously injured in the battle of Jinggangling, and he was reused, and the commander of the third company was still concurrently served by Cheng Chong, and only his qualifications could deter the proud generals of the third company.

The second battalion has relatively little change in personnel, the battalion commander is tall and sledgehammer, and the battalion is still attached to Wang Mengeng, after being transferred to the commander of the artillery company, Ou Zhanpeng's position left by the battalion attached to Wang Mengeng will be concurrently, and after the officers below have made meritorious contributions, they will be promoted and appointed. The commander of the second company is Chen Aiguo, the commander of the third company is Zhao Xin, the commander of the second company is the original deputy company commander, and the commander of the third company has not changed.

The third battalion is a new battalion, and the dispute a few days ago is also here, because no one wants to transfer their elites here and lose their strength, so although they attach great importance to the new three battalions, they are unwilling to release people, and in the end there is no way, the stone can only use the mode of point general. The third battalion commander was served by Li Shijian, and first of all, the choice of this battalion commander was unexpected by everyone, but it was also reasonable. Although Li Shijian is Qu Yuben's old subordinate, he is very brave in battle, and he is also a good person, if he wants to talk about shortcomings, it may be that he has a short temper, plus he looks fierce and vicious, and he is indeed a little scary when he is angry. But to be honest, he is indeed a good hand in the battle, and he is not afraid to take the lead, and the reason why he was transferred to the regimental headquarters company before was because of the quarrel with Liu Taiping, not his own problems. This time, a new battalion was set up, and when Li Wenguang went to the regimental headquarters and company, he was indeed the best candidate in terms of seniority and combat exploits.

The third battalion attached is the former second battalion of the second company commander Xie Zhongshu, the new battalion attached to the high sledgehammer under the performance is very prominent, the bloody battle of Gulouling, under the avenue to block the devil is them, although at that time faced several times the Japanese army, but Xie Zhongshu fought quite smart, several times to lure the enemy, not only to give the Japanese great damage, but firmly control the position, for the second battalion to complete the task of blocking a great contribution, this time promoted to the battalion, from the lieutenant to the rank of captain, but also for his combat bravery. As for Xie Kaitang, the commander of the second company of the third battalion, Hu Zhongxing, the commander of the third company, and the deputy platoon commanders of each company, they were all drawn from various departments. After some roll call, Liu Wenfeng, Gao Dazhu, and Li Feng (beard) all smiled bitterly, and the grassroots officers of each battalion were suddenly transferred by nearly one-third, and their strength was far greater than they imagined.

Although they didn't want to hinder the promotion of these subordinates, but the number of people withdrawn was too large, and it was inevitable that the combat effectiveness of each battalion would be greatly affected.

After the third battalion is the cavalry battalion, the commander of the cavalry battalion Li Feng and Zhao Xinyi attached to the battalion have not changed, and the several company commanders under him have not changed, but the deputy platoon commanders of the companies below have been transferred a lot, and there are a lot of vacant positions. However, fortunately, their battalion has not suffered major losses all along, and there are many veterans in the battalion, and there are many fierce soldiers, and it is not a big problem to promote some grassroots officers. However, it is not easy for their battalion to replenish new soldiers, not to mention anything else, how many ordinary people know how to ride horses these years? Not to mention that you have to shoot on horseback, the training and training of a cavalry will take at least one or two hours, and this is only a preliminary qualification, if you want to become a qualified cavalry warrior and form a tactical cooperation with other people, it will take more time, but do they have that much time? What they lack most is time, and they may be pulled to the front line to fight again.

This situation really made Li Feng frown, but this kind of thing, no matter how worried he was, it was useless, and it was not something that an officer of his level could solve at all.

In addition to the above five battalions, the stone has built a new field supplementary battalion according to the reorganization of each division, in order to ensure the quality of the replenishment of troops in the future, in order to enhance the combat capability of the supplementary battalion and the protracted combat capability of the whole regiment, the field supplementary battalion no longer acts as a porter of the people as in the past, but a real combat supplementary battalion, and the officers and men in the battalion are alternate for war, and they are trained if they do not fight, and the establishment of this battalion is also to turn the 4,000-man establishment of the independent regiment into a real 4,000 combat unit. With as many as 6 combat battalions available for deployment, the strength of the independent regiment is truly amazing.

As for the choice of the battalion commander of the supplementary battalion, the stone also considered for a long time. Lao Zhou, who originally replenished the battalion, had quite a lot of means in dealing with logistics, managing civilian affairs and other affairs, and he was not bad at fighting, after all, after so many years of military career, what kind of battle had he not seen? However, it is difficult for some strong men to train Lao Zhou, and training new recruits is physical work, and it requires good theoretical knowledge and considerable tactical literacy. Like Lin Xiufeng, who is attached to the regiment, he is actually a very suitable candidate, but let him be attached to the regiment to be responsible for these things, and it is okay to take care of it, if he is also the supplementary battalion commander, it will inevitably make people feel that the stone is suppressing his subordinates.

In the end, Shi selected the commander of the supplementary battalion as Liu Taiping, and as soon as he decided to come out, there was silence in the command headquarters, and even Liu Taiping himself didn't dare to believe such a result. In fact, Liu Taiping's advantages are still very many, during his tenure as the commander of the third battalion, his decisiveness on the battlefield is far stronger than that of ordinary officers, and whether it is cavalry or infantry, he knows very well that the third battalion was well organized by him before, and his combat power is quite good. It was more than enough for him to go and bring a supplementary battalion. But he is most famous for his temper, he dares to say anything, anyone dares to offend, his straightforward temper, ordinary soldiers can stand it?

Shi believes in his own vision, Liu Taiping's arrogance is mainly aimed at officers and superiors, when he was in the third battalion, he did not hear any excessive behavior towards ordinary soldiers, and even he loved his brothers in his battalion more than other officers, plus he was famous for not being afraid of power, daring to speak and scold, and he has always had a good reputation among the soldiers. He will lead the supplementary battalion, which can better suppress those newly recruited recruits, so that they can be honest and obedient and train with peace of mind, and he also believes that Liu Taiping can train batches of qualified soldiers for the independent regiment.

After the battalion commander was determined, the battalion annex was not easy to choose, a place like the supplementary battalion, although it was a battalion attached, but ordinary people were reluctant to come, and those who wanted to come were either not high enough or not capable enough, it was really difficult to do, but in the end it was hard to let the stone come up with a solution, the commander of the first battalion and the second company was injured when he was in Jinggangling, and there was still a lot of shrapnel left in the abdominal control that could not be taken out, so that this man who was known for his bravery could no longer participate in the fierce battles on the front line, and according to military regulations, he would have been dismissed. But considering the actual situation at the moment, Shi still left him in the army.

There is no safe place for China today, and the war has brought not only the loss of land and the displacement of people, but also a sense of fear, which has plunged everything into panic and chaos. Under the shadow of war, the people no longer cultivated with peace of mind, and the grain production was greatly reduced; Merchants have abundant capital, but they accumulate strange goods one by one to make war money; Bandits are rampant, the people are struggling to make a living, and there are countless bandits and thieves. In such a society, how can the leaders of the armed forces, who are disabled and unable to do so, survive after leaving the army?

Shi's original idea was to let him enter the supplementary battalion to give Lao Zhou a hand, but now he is arranged in the position attached to the battalion of the supplementary battalion, but it is to maximize his ability, with the time that Wu Tou has spent in the independent regiment and the hard battles he has fought, let him teach the recruits, inherit the unyielding quality of the independent regiment, it is definitely the best choice, and staying in the army like this will not give people a feeling of charity and pity.

Everyone was in favor of such an arrangement, especially Liu Taiping, the new commander of the supplementary battalion, who patted his chest and promised that he would definitely cooperate well with the battalion and train the supplementary battalion into a first-class strong army.

For his statement, everyone on the side is disdainful, a bunch of recruits, how much role can they be expected to play? The most important thing is to follow the back of the battlefield and put on a façade so that they can experience more battles, so as not to pee their pants as soon as they enter the combat camp in the future.

After the six battalions within the establishment are arranged, the next step is the civilian army that does not occupy the establishment. In fact, this unit was the original reorganized supplementary battalion, and both during and after the war, it played a great auxiliary role in the operation of the whole regiment, digging trenches, setting up roadblocks, transporting ammunition, and so on, and they were all responsible for it. After the reorganization of the independent regiment, with the increase in the number of troops, their responsibilities will also be heavier, and the 4,000-strong combat troops, the amount of weapons and ammunition delivered alone is extremely staggering, although they are not regular combat troops, but they can decide the outcome of the war.

Shi decided to expand this army to 2,000 people, and it was still under the command of Lao Zhoutou, of course, this army no longer had the same establishment as before, and Lao Zhoutou could only hang his post at the regiment headquarters. It's just that in this way, the troop configuration of the entire independent regiment has reached 6,000 people, which is a figure that no one dares to imagine.
