Section 19 Independent regiments that are laissez-faire

Shi still has memories of the matter of staying behind yesterday to continue to serve as the head of this independent regiment, and this kind of important matter, even if he is drunk again, the impression in his mind is still clear. Therefore, when he heard the news that the 302nd Regiment was reorganized into an independent regiment, he was not surprised, as for the independent regiment with the code name of "Tiger Ben", the stone did not have any intuitive impression, what honor, what glory, for the stone, it was completely a floating cloud, if he cared about this, how could there be a brigade commander who was inappropriate, but continued to stay as the regiment commander? In any case, a brigade has two regiments under its command, and the extra thousands of troops are not much stronger than these invisible and intangible glory?

What surprised the stone was Shangfeng's generous monetary reward, his personal reward of 5,000 yuan, and the whole group's reward of 5,000 yuan, adding up to 10,000 yuan, this number is really big and a bit amazing.

The Military Commission has also made similar awards before, I remember that after the Battle of Lanfeng, in order to commend their 74th Army officers and soldiers for their bravery and good fighting, the Military Commission had some financial rewards, that time, the entire 74th Army was awarded 8,000 yuan, which has made other friendly troops jealous, it is conceivable that this time they alone have tens of thousands of yuan in money, how heavy is this reward?

Quickly recovering from the hangover, the stone was stimulated by these things, and suddenly sobered up. After waking up, the original worry in his heart disappeared without a trace, and he reacted in vain, from today on, the 302nd Regiment no longer exists, and at this moment they are already independent regiments directly under the military headquarters, not to mention what brigade-level officer, that is, Li Tianxia, who was newly promoted to the commander of the 51st Division, can no longer control their heads at this moment. For the entire 74th Army, their regiment is separated from the three main divisions, which is equivalent to the existence of parallel to the three divisions, and from now on, he only needs to obey Wang Yaowu's orders alone. Thinking of this, the stone can't help but be proud of his choice yesterday, independent regiment! Tiger Ben Independent Group, Lao Tzu finally doesn't have to look at other people's faces anymore!

"Good! That's great! Brother Lin, Brother Wu, you immediately go to the military headquarters with me, and after receiving the orders and relevant documents, we will completely turn over. As soon as Shi thought that these brothers would no longer have to be cannon fodder with him in the future, his heart was immediately relaxed, and he immediately shouted that he was going to the military headquarters.

Wang Qianqian, who had been stunned for a long time and didn't interject, glared at him at this time and said, "Why don't you hurry up and take a shower, you are embarrassed to go out to meet people with your stinky appearance?" There's no shame in that! ”

Shi was scolded by him, he was stunned for a moment, then he pulled up his clothes and smelled it, and immediately the sour smell almost made him vomit. After a long time, he said embarrassedly: "Okay, okay, I'll go and wash it first, this smell is really bad." ”

Immediately outside the tent, there were only people looking at each other, they couldn't understand at all, after making such a great contribution, and finally getting a place to stagnate, this guy was actually so happy as if he had picked up a treasure, he wouldn't think that so much credit was only worth 10,000 yuan, right? What is going on in the head of this idiot?

At this time, the 74th Army began a region-wide reorganization, and it was not as easy as simply abolishing the brigade headquarters, which involved the division of responsibilities of the officers, the composition of the personnel of each unit, and the firepower of the troops. There is basically no such situation as the 51st Division. After the 302nd Regiment was transferred out and organized into an independent regiment, there were just three infantry regiments left in the division, and there is no doubt that these three regiments were directly organized into the main infantry regiments, while the units directly under the two brigades were merged and reorganized into units directly under the division.

For units such as the 57th Division, the original four regiments were to be reduced to three regiments, and the losses in the previous battles would not be replenished. In other words, the main regiments of the reorganized 74 th Army will all have troops composed of veterans of a hundred battles, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced; these veterans have survived countless battles of blood and fire, and their rich battlefield experience and combat capability are far from being comparable to ordinary soldiers. After the reorganization, there is almost no need for any training, and you can rejoin the battlefield and form a strong combat force.

The field supplementary regiment is to concentrate the strength of the regiments that were previously scattered and supplemented into various regiments, and the veterans who have been idle after the downsizing of the main regiment serve as officers, and they will be trained in a centralized manner and gradually strengthened. In a short period of time, these supplementary regiments do not need to go to the battlefield to fight with the devils, which avoids the large-scale attrition caused by negative emotions such as fear, timidity, and confusion when the recruits first enter the battlefield, and preserves the vitality to the greatest extent in the current situation that the source of troops is difficult to find. After a period of training and some not-so-fierce warfare, these newly recruited soldiers can be transferred to the main regiment, so that a good cycle can be formed.

The advantages of this kind of reorganization are obvious, so all departments are very supportive and cooperative, especially when the 74 th Army has won the battle and the officers and men of all departments are constantly being promoted, the enthusiasm of the troops is even higher, the meritorious officers and men have been promoted, the troops with large losses have made up for the experienced veterans, and the strength of the officers and commanders has been greatly enhanced.

Stone took Lin Xiufeng and Wu Zihuai to stay in Wanzai County, where the military headquarters is located, for a whole day, until the afternoon of the next day, they completed the relevant procedures, and returned to Yifeng, compared to the thick stack of "fiat currency" on the car [Note], the biggest change is that the nameplate on their chest has been replaced, only to see that the top column of their nameplate is written with a few eye-catching big characters "Tiger Ben Independent Regiment", which is in stark contrast to the monotonous nameplate of other people's so-and-so army and so-and-so division, there is no doubt that just with this nameplate, In itself, it represents a kind of glory and gives people an inspire.

Shi sat in the car, Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai drove the car, compared to Wu Zihuai, who was more excited, Shi's expression was relatively calm, at least from the outside, he couldn't see any joy, anger and sorrow. As the scenery on both sides of the jeep continued to recede, Shishi's mind kept recalling the information he had received that day about the reorganization of the troops.

After the abolition of the brigade headquarters, most of the officers at the brigade level have been expanded to the division headquarters or division staff, plus the cavalry company, guard company, gendarmerie company, health company, and other units, and the entire division headquarters and battalion will have as many as 1,000 people; after the command responsibilities are subdivided, the command of the various units under the jurisdiction of the division will be more precise, and the functions and effects of the units under the jurisdiction of the division will be more precise, and the main regiment under its jurisdiction will be withdrawn from the supplementary battalion, and the establishment of a regiment will be about 2,200 people, all of which are really elite and strong generals, and their combat strength far exceeds that of the infantry regiment with the previous establishment of 3,000 people. The first division has three regiments, plus a field infantry regiment, and the full strength will reach 12,500 troops, excluding the commanders of the supplementary regiments and various departments, and civilian officials, the combat strength will reach about 9,000 people.

As for the independent regiment, the commander Wang Yaowu meant that it should be formed according to Shishi's own ideas, and on the basis of the original infantry regiment, he would be given an establishment of 1,000 troops, and the entire independent regiment would reach 4,000 troops, which was almost close to the level of an ordinary infantry brigade. The setting up of the subordinate departments and the deployment of personnel are up to him, the regiment commander, to make his own decisions, and Commander Wang's meaning is very clear, what he wants is the result, what he wants is the strong combat effectiveness of the Huben Independent Regiment and the victory in the battle against the devils, as for how to achieve such a level, he doesn't care.

In Wang Yaowu's words, if he has to take care of everything, what else do you want these officers below to do? If he had decided everything, he would have died of exhaustion.

An independent regiment of 4,000 people, thinking of this number, Shi couldn't help but feel a very headache. What made him even more headache was that at this time, their regiment was already directly under the military department, and freedom was freedom, but a series of related matters also needed to be dealt with by themselves, and the combat materials and supplementary troops that Zhou Zhidao fought for as in the past were completely worried about by him, the regiment commander, at this moment.

Of course, the stone is not without superiors, in order to facilitate the command of their regiment, Wang Yaowu let the chief of staff Chen Yu of the army take charge of it, the reason why he is the chief of staff rather than the deputy chief of staff, the main reason is that Wang Yaowu in order to reflect the respect for the Huben Independent Regiment, the importance of the stone, after all, the stone's great exploits are in front of him, not a weighty officer in the military department, and he can't control such a fierce general at all. In Wang Yaowu's heart, in fact, the stone is no worse than the other three division commanders, and if it is really calculated in strict accordance with military merits, the stone can already be the commander of a division. But his age and qualifications are there, and these things have become stumbling blocks to the development of stones, but they cannot be changed in a short period of time, but fortunately, the arrangement of stones is not bad now, no matter from which point of view, it is a good result.

The chief of staff of the army is also in charge of the independent regiment, and the respect is sufficient, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, the chief of staff is too busy! Especially at present, when all departments are being reorganized and the Japanese army on the front line in Nanchang is ready to move, Chen Yu needs to track the reorganization of the three main divisions on the one hand, and on the other hand, he needs to arrange reconnaissance troops to explore the military situation on the front line of Gao'an in Nanchang, and cooperate with Wang Yaowu to reformulate the defense plan and troop deployment, and he has no time to take care of the problem of the source of troops of the independent regiment. In the end, he seemed to feel that he had sent the stone away like this, and he really couldn't help it, after all, the army commander was very serious about the stone, and from the perspective of the development trajectory of the stone, the stamina was also very strong, so he then sent a staff officer to tell the stone, the problem of the source of soldiers, he could find a way to find a way to apply for the specific authority with the theater command.

Note: In 1935, the Nationalist Government carried out currency reform, restricting the right to issue currency to the four major state-owned banks: the Bank of China, the Central Bank, the Bank of Communications, and later the Peasant Bank of China. The circulation of silver dollars was banned, and private silver was banned. The issuance of a new currency, "fiat currency", is legal tender, which is used in the national control area.
