Section 21 Establishment of Independent Regiments

In the next few days, everyone gathered in the headquarters to discuss the establishment of each battalion, and in the independent regimental headquarters, which has always been quite harmonious, there were bursts of fierce quarrels from time to time, and this abnormal situation surprised the officers and men of the guard platoon guarding outside, but they did not receive the order of the regiment commander, how dare they act without authorization, they can only pretend that they have not heard anything, and complete their guard task with peace of mind.

In mid-August, the plan for the reorganization of the independent regiment was finally settled amid a quarrel. In the middle of summer, they were stuffy in the headquarters and discussed day and night. In this kind of question, when it comes to the forces under their respective commands, even the tall sledgehammer, who has always been indifferent and seems to care about nothing, is still arguing with everyone, especially when the officers from the battalions are to be drawn to supplement the new battalions, and the quarrel is even more intense. As commanders, of course, they are willing to promote their subordinates and let them take on important responsibilities, but officers like this one who are extremely favored by them are their hearts, in this case, who is willing to let go?

In the end, the stone got angry, he pointed at everyone's nose and scolded, he knew that they were all such a bunch of selfish guys, and he should have promised the military seat a few days ago and transferred to another unit to be the brigade commander, and if he stayed here, he would be angry to death sooner or later! When the officials are big, what do they regard as independent regiments? A tool to make a fortune by making a fortune?

Everyone was ashamed, compared to the sacrifice of the stone, they were really nothing, but the officers who had been painstakingly trained were transferred out like this, and it was really difficult to give up in their hearts for a while. However, Shi couldn't control so much under his anger, he didn't usually have the performance of the officers, directly named them, and finally quickly cut through the chaos and roughly determined the establishment of the whole regiment and the officers.

And when the stone took the frame structure handed over by the chief of staff Wu Zihuai and began to confirm it, everyone who calmed down couldn't help but take a breath one after another, until this time, they didn't know what kind of behemoth the independent regiment had become, and it was only at this time that they figured out that the stone may have given up the position of a brigade commander, but the harvest is far from what ordinary people can imagine. Transferred to another unit as a brigade commander, there are division commanders, deputy division commanders and other officers pressing, although the stone at this moment is only a regiment commander, but it can already be on par with these division commanders, plus he has such a strong combat power in his hands, I am afraid that no one will dare to underestimate it in the future.

According to the order issued by the military department, the independent regiment could have an establishment of 4,000 people, and Wang Yaowu also agreed with Shishi's idea of setting up a separate cavalry battalion in the regiment. In fact, Wang Yaowu has known about this cavalry unit under the stone for a long time, but he couldn't imagine that the stone could actually use this cavalry so superbly, and what is even more surprising is that in the case of the upper peak without pulling grain and grass, he actually really fed this cavalry unit, which is a great thing, with the military and financial resources of the various departments of the national army today, this is completely impossible, but the stone has done it, in the face of the facts, it is not acceptable.

This time, after the establishment, the pressure on the stone is also greatly reduced, and the materials distributed according to the standards of the cavalry battalion are enough to ensure the daily needs of the horses and soldiers, especially the cavalry weapons, they will be greatly supplied, and they do not need to rely on the devils to grab them as before.

After the reorganization, the independent regiment has five combat battalions under its jurisdiction, and its strength is so strong that it is the only one of any regiment in the whole army.

Shi adopted Li Shijian's proposal, expanded the regimental headquarters company into the regimental headquarters battalion, and expanded the command department of the independent regiment accordingly, which was different from the past, if it was before, although Zhou Zhidao did not seem to be very happy to see their regiment, but no matter what it was, as long as they came to the door, the brigade headquarters would always try to help them deal with it, and in this way, it also saved them a lot of time and energy. Not now, after being directly under the military headquarters, although Shangguan has become the chief of staff of the army with greater power, the chief of staff has too many things to manage, and he can't take care of it at all, and he can only rely on himself, so the functions of the regiment headquarters need to be more and more refined.

On the basis of the regimental headquarters company, guard platoon, communications platoon, etc., the expanded regimental headquarters battalion will have 800 people, and the establishment of this scale is no less than that of the ordinary infantry division. The commander of the regimental headquarters battalion is the former first battalion attached to Li Wenguang, as an old man who has followed the stone from the battle of Songhu, Li Wenguang is the same as Xiaoshandong, almost no different from the younger brother of the stone, in the past two years, Li Wenguang has been charging at the front line of the battle as a battalion attached, and his superb subordinates and the courage of the battle have made him repeatedly make meritorious contributions, and at this moment he has been promoted to the regiment headquarters battalion commander, naturally no one will have an opinion.

Under Li Wenguang, the battalion attached to Ma Hong is Ma Hong, Ma Hong is Xiao Shandong, his nickname is too loud, and now there are really few people who know his real name, but as his official becomes bigger and bigger, Xiao Shandong's nickname is naturally called fewer and fewer people, he is the "old man" of the regiment headquarters company, and he has been serving as the company of the guard company, and this time he was directly promoted to the second level, also because of his performance in several battles in Jinggangling, Xiangfuguan and Dacheng is very sudden. Even Yu Chengwan, the commander of the 57th Division, opened his mouth to ask for a pass with the stone, but after learning about the relationship between Xiaoshan and the stone, he gave up this plan.

The regimental headquarters battalion has a guard company, a communications company, an artillery company, a reconnaissance company, a sanitary platoon, a gendarmerie platoon, and command departments. The company commander of the guard company was served by Cheng Yong, the commander of the guard platoon of the stone, who was also promoted by two ranks, jumping directly from the position of platoon commander to the company commander, and the guard company was directly in accordance with the establishment of an ordinary infantry company, with a total of 166 people. The commander of the communications company is concurrently served by Zheng Yongchang, the adjutant of the regiment headquarters, and to be honest, there are really not many people in the independent regiment who understand this knowledge except for him, and other people who understand it are either in high positions such as Wu Zihuai, or unwilling to put up an outline such as Liu Taiping, and others such as Liu Wenfeng are all fierce generals on the battlefield. And Zheng Yongchang first served as the adjutant of the regiment headquarters like a secretary to handle the paperwork of the whole regiment for the stone, and was deeply trusted, and now he is also the commander of a company.

The health platoon is served by the old doctor Sun Menglian, he is holding the rank of captain at the moment, and after the health platoon under his command was expanded to a company, he, the old platoon leader, is naturally rising, but the number of doctors in the health company is still scarce, and for the time being, it can only be supplemented with some escort stretcher teams and the like.

As for the reconnaissance company, there is no doubt that the company commander is Zhang Donkey, this old scout's ability in intelligence reconnaissance is indeed strong, although there was a little accident in Moziling, but the flaws are not concealed, the reason why their regiment has succeeded in sneak attacks on devils at night several times, the reconnaissance platoon is indispensable, and now after the expansion of the troops, Zhang Donkey's promotion to company commander is also expected, and in order to maximize the role of the reconnaissance company, the stone set the establishment of the reconnaissance company at 200 people, and one person with two horses, its mobility ability is the best in the whole regiment.

Originally, this platoon was supposed to be a unit at the division level, but Shi has always been extremely strict with military discipline, and a new military police platoon was specially set up in the regiment to picket military discipline in ordinary times and supervise all departments during combat. The military police platoon, which should have been assigned to the guard company, because Shi attached great importance to the combat capability of the guard company, deliberately listed it separately and refined the functions of each unit, and the platoon commander was a platoon commander of Shi's original guard platoon, named Luo Rong. Stone gets along with him day and night, and knows that he is a steady person and serious in his work, and the heavy responsibility of the gendarmerie platoon is entrusted to him, and Stone is also quite relieved.

The most controversial is the artillery company, with the formation of professional artillery units in the regiment, the importance of this position can be imagined, this is also the only position that everyone is vying for, after all, who does not want to be better assisted by artillery units in future battles? However, compared with the strong firepower of the Japanese troops, the artillery units of the 302nd Regiment are still a little rudimentary, mortars, they have captured a lot, and even anti-tank guns, but the only mountain artillery makes their company's artillery a little thin, after all, they have a different vision in the face of aircraft artillery bombardment all day long.

However, it was a very exciting thing to have their own artillery company, and in repeated battles, they captured a large number of grenadiers. This kind of grenadier is easy to carry, simple to use, also known as a small mortar, the attack distance is about 300 steps, although the radius of the explosion is only about 10 meters, but it is easy to carry, under intensive attack, the lethality is acceptable. The main weapons of the artillery company were mortars and grenadiers, and the idea was to use these artillery attacks to open a gap in a very short time and provide maximum assistance to the infantry attack.

After a gang dispute, Shi selected Ou Zhanpeng, the commander of the first company of the former second battalion, as the commander of the artillery company.

Like other officers, Ou Zhanpeng was not born in artillery, but he was literate and loved to learn. Good cultural education has given him more adaptability to the battlefield than other officers, and compared with those officers who graduated from military academies, Ou Zhanpeng is the kind of officer who has come up from small soldiers step by step, his decisive ability on the battlefield is unusually outstanding, and his combat is also extremely brave.

In addition to the regimental headquarters battalion, other battalions have also changed greatly.
