Chapter 898: New Armored Battalion (Third Update!) )
Several battalion commanders, who were still full of excitement just now, frowned in an instant, and showed a reluctant expression.
Those light and serious wounded in the field hospital are treasures, well-deserved veterans.
As long as they return to the unit, they will definitely become the combat backbone of the unit, and there are even quite a few people who can be directly appointed as squad and platoon leaders.
With so many fighting backbones and grassroots cadres, the regiment commander will not say a word, and no one will feel comfortable.
However, as soon as the words of objection reached their mouths, they swallowed them back.
Now that the army has been expanded, it is necessary to have soldiers and equipment. As long as the training is carried out for a period of time, the combat effectiveness will definitely be only stronger than before.
If you still chase those lightly and seriously injured people, you will take advantage of any advantages and benefits, and you can't justify it.
After hesitating for a few seconds, several battalion commanders could only sigh and decide to carry out the order!
"Since everyone has no opinion, then this matter is decided!" After taking in the expressions on everyone's faces, Wang Ping made a decisive decision.
Then he continued to order: "Cavalry battalion, this time we killed a cavalry brigade of devils, and also captured a lot of war horses." Although the equipment of a battalion was taken away by the commander, there was more. So, I decided to expand the cavalry battalion by one more company. In addition, I will add a machine gun company to you, and a total of nine heavy machine guns will be transported by horses, which will not only save troops but also ensure the mobility of the cavalry! ”
"In this way, the cavalry battalion has four cavalry companies and a machine gun company, and the total strength has increased to five hundred, if there are not enough war horses, they will be drawn from the regiment headquarters and several main battalions, and the strength is the same, you battalion commanders must unconditionally support the expansion of the cavalry battalion, and you can't be embarrassed!"
"You must know that the devils who came over this time have two cavalry units, one is the cavalry wing under the devil division, five or six hundred cavalry. There is also a cavalry unit dedicated to devils, a cavalry wing of nearly two thousand cavalry. If there is no cavalry battalion to contain these little devil cavalry, the pressure on us will be very great! ”
"Of course, I believe in the capabilities of your cavalry battalion. I now make a promise to you, no matter how many horses the cavalry battalion captures, half of them can be left to expand the troops. ”
"Of course, no matter how you expand, the battalion commander is still the battalion commander, and I will give you a position of deputy chief of staff at most. After all, the right of the cavalry battalion to expand the cavalry regiment is in the military district. ”
The battalion commander Ma Hou's eyes quickly shot out two fine lights, stared at Wang Ping, and replied with a hot face: "Please rest assured, the Devil's Specialized Cavalry Wing Our cavalry battalion is not an opponent, but the total strength of the Devil's Infantry Cavalry Wing is not much, as long as there is a chance, I will definitely kill this cavalry wing!" ”
"Ambitious!" Wang Ping was very satisfied with Ma's thick answer.
Then a pair of eyes quickly shifted to Peng Yu, the commander of the air defense company: "In this big battle, we captured a lot of anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns in Linfen City and Linfen Railway Station, and I decided to expand the air defense company into an air defense battalion, under the jurisdiction of three air defense companies, each air defense company is equipped with six air defense machine guns!" ”
"Peng Yu, you have to hurry up and train the troops, in the last big battle, your air defense company did not participate in the battle. In this bitter battle, there will definitely be a battle waiting for you! ”
"Please rest assured, the air defense battalion will definitely not disappoint everyone, and it is guaranteed to shoot down at least one little devil plane in the next battle!" Peng Yu replied with excitement on his face. He didn't expect that he would be promoted even if the air defense company had no combat exploits.
At this time, Zhou Ze of the armored company was in a hurry.
In this battle, the results achieved by the armored company were definitely among the best. However, throughout the battle, not a single armored vehicle was captured by the troops.
In this case, even if you are eligible for promotion, there is no condition for promotion.
You can't expand the armored company into an armored battalion, and the entire armored battalion has only five armored vehicles, so it exists in name only!
Wang Ping seemed to see through his inner thoughts and focused his eyes directly on him.
"Comrade Zhou Ze, taking Linfen Railway Station and Linfen City, the armored company has made great contributions, and also used the powerful assault ability and firepower of armored vehicles to cooperate with the infantry to kill an infantry brigade of the Japanese army in the field, as a company commander, you have made great contributions!"
"You are now appointed as the commander of the armored battalion, and the armored company directly under the new regiment has been expanded into an armored battalion, with three armored companies under its jurisdiction!"
Zhou Ze first showed a hint of surprise on his face, then his brows furrowed, and he interrupted with an embarrassed expression.
"But, regimental commander, we don't have that many armored vehicles at all. You can't have five armored vehicles with a signboard of an armored battalion! ”
Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "That's what I'm going to say next!" ”
"In the battle of Linfen Railway Station, Zhou Ze, you should see the strong assault ability and combat effectiveness of the armored company and the assault battalion with each other. In front of the little devils who do not have heavy weapons and anti-tank weapons, this formation is almost invincible! ”
"In future battles, the assault battalion will have its own combat mission, and it will not be possible to follow the armored company forever and cooperate with the armored company in combat. Therefore, the expanded armored company should not only have armored vehicles, but also infantry that act together with armored vehicles. On the battlefield, as the commando of our new regiment, it specializes in breaking through the defense line of the Japanese puppet army that the infantry can't gnaw, or covering up the Japanese puppet army on the battlefield......"
"The newly formed armored battalion has three armored companies, a transport platoon, and a command platoon!"
"The armored company has two platoons, each platoon has three squads, each of which includes an armored car, a transport vehicle, and ten infantrymen...... The company headquarters is directly under a command squad, and the establishment is the same as other armored squads......"
"In this way, each armored company has seven armored vehicles, seven vehicles, and seven infantry squads!"
"The entire armored battalion includes twenty-four armored vehicles, thirty-three vehicles, twenty-four infantry squads!"
Zhou Ze was frightened by Wang Ping's bold idea.
The battle on the night of the capture of the Linfen railway station was commanded and participated in by him and Jin Kai. Five armored vehicles and two companies of infantry can easily take out two Japanese infantry squadrons in a surprise attack when they are still very unfamiliar with the cooperation.
He didn't dare to imagine how powerful the armored battalion would be on the battlefield once it reached the size that the regiment commander had just said.
When the time comes, maybe the little devils of a wing will not be an opponent when they encounter an armored battalion on the battlefield.
However, Zhou Ze quickly reacted from the shock.
Although the regiment commander's answer just now drew a big pie for the armored battalion, he made himself full of longing for the future. However, he did not answer his question.
Without armored vehicles, no matter how good the ideas and visions are, they are fake.
With a frown, he continued to ask: "Regiment commander, I also want such an armored battalion, but we only have five armored vehicles, and we can't even get together an armored company!" ”
Wang Ping replied confidently: "Without armored vehicles, I would not propose to expand the armored company into an armored battalion!" ”
"Zhou Ze, don't worry, I have already solved the armored car for you. Of course, if you want to solve the missing nineteen armored vehicles at once, you will definitely not be able to do it in a short time! ”
