Chapter 123: Expansion of the Army

Genius remembered for a second, "Love โ™‚ รท small? Say โ†’', provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Clear-eyed people know at a glance that the new Director Jiang Hongchun has won the trust of the head of the regiment, Wang Ping.

In the Independent Regiment, as long as he is trusted by Wang Ping, it means that Jiang Hongchun has been integrated with the Independent Regiment.

Deng Hongtao, director of the Political Department, was anxious and immediately suggested: "Regiment commander, since the situation faced by the Independent Regiment is so bad, then our Independent Regiment must complete the reorganization as soon as possible, and then conduct training to improve its combat effectiveness and compete with the Japanese puppet army in Laiyuan City. โ€

"Director Deng is right!" Cheng Xiao affirmed.

"Regiment commander, since there is already a military order for the expansion of the independent regiment, then don't wait any longer. The sooner the troops are reorganized, the sooner they will be able to form combat effectiveness! โ€

Wang Ping nodded and asked, "Chief of Staff, what do you have in mind over there!" โ€

"I mean, directly on the basis of the three companies, the company is expanded into a battalion, the platoon is expanded into a company, and the squad is expanded into a platoon. When forming an independent battalion, each company has two deputy company commanders and two deputy instructors, and there should be no problem for company-level cadres. The only problem is the battalion-level cadres, and the qualifications of the three company commanders below are a bit low, after all, they have only been deputy company commanders before! Zeng Quan immediately said what was in his heart.

"Seniority is not an issue!" Wang Ping said with great certainty.

"As long as you have the ability, then you will be promoted to be the battalion commander. However, the political commissar and Director Deng on the instructor's side must think carefully, if you can't choose someone internally, you will use the ones I brought back from the military division, they are all sent to us by the commander of the military region, and ability should not be a problem! โ€

"If it's not enough, let's go up a few of them, take them first, let them be their deputies, and we'll come down when they're mature!"

"I agree!" Political Commissar Cheng Xiao was the first to stand up in support.

Deng Hongtao and Jiang Hongchun both had just arrived, and there was no reason to object, and then they all agreed.

Soon, the party committee of the independent regiment formed a unified opinion and expanded the organization on the basis of the three companies of the independent battalion!

Zeng Quan, chief of staff, proposed at this time: "It is best to finalize the establishment of the independent regiment and the list of cadres above the company level at one time. So that we can reorganize our troops right away! โ€

Wang Ping suddenly interjected: "It must be reorganized immediately, two days to reorganize the troops, and eight days to run in and train." I will only give you ten days, and after ten days, the independent regiment will have a combat mission! โ€

Political Commissar Cheng Xiao frowned, and asked with a worried face: "So soon, regiment leader, did you get any news, the devils of Laiyuan City will come out to encircle and suppress us in ten days!" โ€

The others also looked at Wang Ping with worried expressions. For them, ten days was too short, just enough for the cadres to get acquainted with the troops. At this time, pull the troops out to fight, one is not good, and the troops will suffer heavy casualties!

Wang Ping shook his head mysteriously and replied: "It's not a devil's encirclement, what specific combat mission is kept secret for the time being." But I can reveal the two words of you, I want to pull the troops out for training, and by the way, get some more equipment and ammunition back! โ€

"The devils are heavily encircled and suppressed, and we must be a protracted war. The Logistics Service has to stockpile not only food and medicine, but also equipment and ammunition. Once the battle starts, the consumption of equipment and ammunition must be very large, and if there is no reserve, the troops will have to fight with the enemy with bayonets in the end, which I have always discouraged! โ€

As long as it is not the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, and the devil is desperate, Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan are relieved.

Based on their understanding of Wang Ping, the so-called military training is to find a little devil to be unlucky. According to Wang Ping's character of only taking advantage of the advantages and not suffering losses, there will definitely be no problems in pulling the troops out for training, although he does not know how Wang Ping will train the troops and who to find to train the troops when the Japanese puppet army is concentrated in Laiyuan City. But they believed that Wang Ping would not suffer a loss if he led his troops out.

Cheng Xiao and Zeng didn't speak, and the newcomers Deng Hongtao and Jiang Hongchun, although they were also very confused, could only hold back in their hearts.

Wang Ping continued: "The expansion of the three companies into battalions was thus decided, because the number of machine guns in the army was limited, and it would definitely not be possible to achieve one machine gun per squad. So, I mean, the infantry squad abolished the machine-gun crew formation, each squad had nine fighters, one squad leader! โ€

"The infantry platoon has three infantry squads, one machine gun group, one platoon leader, and two deputy platoon commanders, a total of thirty-five people!"

"The infantry company has three infantry platoons, a small artillery squad equipped with three grenadiers, a guard squad, a baggage squad, a cooking squad, plus a company commander, instructor, deputy company commander, deputy instructor, company clerk, and signal corps, a total of 150 people!"

"The infantry battalion has three infantry companies, a fire support platoon equipped with two heavy machine guns and two mortars, a guard platoon, an engineer platoon, a baggage platoon, a reconnaissance squad, a communications squad, a cooking squad, plus a battalion commander, instructor, deputy battalion commander, deputy instructor, and battalion headquarters clerk, a total of 600 people."

"Our independent regiment has three infantry battalions, an artillery company, a guard company, a baggage company, an engineer company, a reconnaissance platoon, a communications platoon, a cooking squad, and then a regimental headquarters, with a total strength of 2,500 people."

"The artillery company will first form an infantry artillery platoon, and the remaining two platoons will be formed when they have equipment later!"

"The reconnaissance platoon is composed of elites from the whole regiment, and there are 31 people, and I personally conduct training."

"Because of the limited equipment, the first, second, and second battalions and the troops directly under the regimental headquarters tentatively set all-Japanese equipment, and the third battalion uses domestically produced equipment, and they will be replaced when they are captured!"

"For the soldiers who are lacking in the expansion of the troops, first take the prisoners of the Imperial Allied Army in the hands of the chief of staff to replenish the troops, and then select from among the recruits who can shoot guns and have a good foundation to replenish the main force."

"There were two thousand recruits left, and one hundred people formed a recruit company, and according to the plan of the commissar and the chief of staff, each recruit company was trained with a veteran. Each recruit company is given ten rifles and 1,000 rounds of matching ammunition for training. Because of the limited number of cadres, these twenty recruit companies were handed over to Deputy Regiment Commander Feng and Deputy Political Commissar He to be responsible! โ€

"In addition, Deputy Political Commissar He can also select 20 party members or probationary party members from the main force to join these recruit companies as instructors, do a good job in the political and ideological work of these soldiers, and strive to find some good seedlings from the middle and develop them into reserve party members!"

At the end of the meeting, the Independent Mission began its unprecedented reorganization.

Because all the personnel of the regiment headquarters were complete, as the regiment commander, Wang Ping became the most idle person in the independent regiment.

And Jiang Hongchun, the newly appointed director of the logistics department, has become the busiest person in the independent regiment. After taking over more than a dozen warehouses of all sizes from Cheng Xiao, he was frightened by the mountains of materials in the warehouses. However, the constant attrition of the troops due to frostbite also made him aware of the serious problems he faced.

Although he guaranteed his vote in front of everyone at the meeting, Jiang Hongchun found that the difficulties and problems he faced were more serious than he imagined, and they were much more serious.

Jiang Hongchun is a veteran logistics cadre, and when there was no ocean in the past, he could ensure that there would be no problems with the logistics of the troops, not to mention that he still held more than 10,000 oceans in his hands.

The problems that the independent regiment urgently needs to solve now, Jiang Hongchun has many solutions in his mind. However, Jiang Hongchun also has a fatal flaw, that is, he is not familiar with the situation and is not familiar with the situation of Laiyuan.

If you are not familiar with Laiyuan, then it is impossible to implement the method that you have already thought of in your head! Reading, a better reading experience.
