Section 152: Reorganization

Chen Yu also felt that it was a little difficult to do, this stone was too powerful, as long as there was a battle, it could make great contributions. Even if there is no war, the local governance can be in order, and the people are rich, such a person has always served as a small regiment leader, which is indeed a little unreasonable. But military merit is military merit, and in the army, seniority is also an important factor in promotion, how long does it take for Shi Shi to be promoted to regiment commander? In more than two years, he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to the commander of a major general, which is a unique thing in the history of the national army, according to the military rank system of the national army, each level needs to stay for several years, and an ordinary soldier wants to be promoted to a corporal, at least it will take more than a year, and at the rank of corporal, according to military discipline, the rank needs to be suspended for one or two years.

The system of suspension of military ranks is actually a consideration of various elements in the army, such as qualifications, academic qualifications, and military exploits, to ensure that promoted officers have sufficient qualifications and prestige to be competent for new positions. Only Shi Shi is different from ordinary people, and on the basis of his amazing military exploits again and again, he has been continuously promoted, and he has been promoted to the rank of major general at a speed that completely exceeds common sense. Although his promotion is based on countless military exploits, for those officers who have endured decades to be promoted to major general, will they have no ideas?

"Brother Zuomin, Commander Shi's combat exploits are indeed outstanding, but he is too young after all, if he is another unit, it would be difficult to be a company commander at most at his age, and it is only in the 74th Army that Brother Zuomin has a good eye for talent, so he is promoted and appointed without sticking to one pattern. Now that the independent regiment can achieve such results, it can be regarded as living up to the high hopes of Brother Zuomin. However, Shishi's qualifications are too shallow, his reputation is too low, and he still needs more experience, and it may not be a good thing for him to be promoted too quickly. Of course, this time the independent regiment has made meritorious achievements, and we can't ignore them, so let's add more rewards to the soldiers' weapons, and I think that with the strength of the independent regiment and these rewards, we will definitely be able to achieve better results, and it will not be too late to accumulate merits and reward them again. Chen Yu said slowly.

After Wang Yaowu pondered for a long time, he also nodded slowly, not that Chen Yu's disposal method was good, but that he really couldn't think of any good way to adjust it in a short period of time. In fact, even if Shi Shi is the deputy commander of the 51st Division, it is a good idea, after all, Shi Shi has never done a deputy position, and it is really difficult to say what the effect will be, and he is really unwilling to lose his own arm.

The matter of the appointment and adjustment of division-level officers naturally cannot be revealed to others, so others only know that the military seat and the chief of staff have been talking secretly in the study for a whole afternoon, but no one knows what the specific situation is, everyone is in speculation, for them, what adjustments will be made by the commanders is also very attractive to their attention, after all, after the commander is promoted, it is very likely that they will be able to replace them and take over, this kind of promotion and fortune of the big thing, who doesn't care?

And among these people, the most anxious is Li Tianxia, I don't know when he heard a rumor, in view of the outstanding performance of the independent regiment in this battle, it is very likely that the military seat will let Shi be promoted to the commander of the 51st Division, in this way, where will he go? He, an old man who has been following the military seat for so many years, really has to be pressed down by a stunned young boy who has only been fighting for three or four years? Thinking that it would be possible for him to obey the stone's orders in the future, Li Tianxia couldn't help but think of four words in her heart - shame!

In the 51st Division, who doesn't know his grudge with the stone? When I pulled out my guns on the street, I don't know how many times these officers and soldiers talked about it, and what will they think of themselves at that time? At this point, I'm afraid that embarrassing situation is even worse than death!

Time is constantly passing in this kind of waiting and speculation, with the continuous arrival of the troops reorganized by various ministries, with the delivery of various weapons, ammunition and fiat currency and salaries, there is more and more speculation about the adjustment of officials, and there is no doubt that after all these things have been dealt with, the next step is obviously the appointment of officials.

During this period of time in Yifeng, the stone was idle, and the repair of the various units of the Independent Regiment and the repair of the fortifications had already begun, and the supplementary battalion, which had recruited a large number of new personnel, also carried out training under the command of Liu Taiping. This time, they were obviously much more relaxed, those veterans who remained in the supplementary battalion, because they had participated in the battle against the Japanese army and were experienced, and with the help of people with combat experience like them to teach the recruits, the pressure on the officers was much less, and the growth rate of the soldiers was also greatly improved. As for the infantry battalion and cavalry battalion troops, they are patrolling everywhere step by step, and the recruits who have been supplemented have already experienced individual combat training and tactical training, and now they only need to adapt to the new environment, and there is almost no difficulty in integration.

In the case of Lin Xiufeng, the local civil affairs regiment attached to the regiment, Shi almost didn't need to worry about anything, his life became extremely simple, every day just to check the military information reported from everywhere, and then pay attention to the situation in northern Jiangxi, early morning and evening, is to accompany Wang Qianqian's side, enjoying a rare leisure.

In view of the strength of the 74th Army, the Military Commission also decided to reorganize the 74th Army into an attack army, and all of them were equipped with new equipment to further improve the combat effectiveness of the 74th Army, so that they could exert stronger combat effectiveness in future battles. This time, the 74th Army replaced Soviet-style equipment, the most famous of which is the "Mosin-Nagant" rifle, which is so accurate that it is much higher than the Zhongzheng rifle used by the national army now, and even the "38 big cover" used by the Japanese army cannot be compared at all.

However, after consulting with the military seat, the stone still decided that the independent regiment would not change its outfit for the time being! His request naturally made Wang Yaowu a little surprised, but after discussing with the stone, he still agreed to his idea, the equipment on his body, the stone has no opinion, but the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the whole regiment, he does not plan to change it in a short time, in addition to worrying that after changing the equipment, it may lead to the soldiers not being able to use it well, the most important point is to worry about the continuity of the battle.

The independent regiment is different from the 51st Division and other troops, in addition to the fact that most of the soldiers in the unit are veterans, there is also a point that their weapons and equipment are also very different, no matter which unit of the national army, the weapons used are basically Hanyang-made and Zhongzheng rifles, supplemented by captured Japanese weapons. Hanyang is old and backward compared to Zhongzheng rifles, but it is still very reliable in terms of stability, many troops formed from warlord melees, have a deep affection for these weapons, and they are very easy to use, and more importantly, these two rifles use 7.92mm bullets, which can be used universally, and have no impact on ammunition.

The independent regiment is different, after Shi took over the post of commander of the 302nd regiment, he made some adjustments to the troops, the most important of which was that all the Japanese equipment was replaced, and the weapons used by the officers and men of the whole regiment were all 38 big covers and Japanese machine guns. The reason for this is that the stability of the Japanese army's weapons and equipment is good on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is to ensure the uninterrupted firepower of weapons on the battlefield, because the Japanese army's 38 rifle and 96 light machine gun all use 6.5mm bullets, and the unified use of such weapons can reduce the problems that the officers and men of the independent regiment may encounter in bullet loading and ensure the consistency of firepower.

If it were replaced by other troops, it might not be possible to guarantee such a quantity, but the capture of each battle of the Independent Regiment was very large, and over time, the stock of weapons and ammunition of the Independent Regiment was very amazing. In Shishi's view, the firepower of the national army lagged behind the Japanese army, not because the weapons were not sharp, not because the stability was not enough, but because the number was insufficient or the amount of ammunition was insufficient, and it was difficult to form a long-term consumption with the Japanese army. Will this problem be solved after the replacement of Soviet-style weapons? Shi thinks it is unlikely, because the national strength is here, the quantity of purchases is limited, and the number of bullets is different from that of the country, and there must be a limit on the quantity. In that case, what's the point of such a replacement? With the current situation of the independent regiment, their firepower is not only not worse than the Japanese army, but stronger than the other side, in this case, there is no need to change at all, and there is no need to worry about versatility and continuity, the capture after each battle can be directly used, with the strength of the independent regiment, it is undoubtedly the best choice to keep the same.

In addition, Shi took this opportunity to make a small suggestion to Wang Yaowu, anyway, he was already refitting Soviet-style equipment, can the captured weapons and ammunition be distributed to the independent regiment, even if it is to compensate for the loss of the independent regiment without redressing?

His words immediately caused Wang Yaowu to laugh and scold, "It's you who doesn't want to change weapons, and it's you who wants to compensate, and you take advantage of the cheapness, what should others do?" However, having said that, Wang Yaowu was still very generous to the stone general, and with a wave of his hand, he directly asked him to go to the warehouse of the military headquarters to get them, and those captured Japanese weapons could be equipped with another 500 rifles and 30 machine guns plus 10,000 rounds of ammunition to the independent regiment.

The stone can't help but be overjoyed, although the independent regiment has a lot of its own inventory, but who would think that there are too many of these things? In addition, Shi Shi was most concerned about the two mountain cannons, and he was immediately rejected by Wang Yaowu when he mentioned it, Wang Yaowu glared at him and scolded: "You kid, an independent regiment is equipped with six artillery, which is stronger than the strength of the military artillery battalion, I don't ask you, but you talk to me?" ”
