Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang left, and Yang Yuanshan immediately called Zhou Xianpei, Xu Shaobai, Han Yang, and He Yunfu to his company headquarters - oh no, it's the battalion headquarters now.

"In the past few days, I have been pondering the adjustment of our company's establishment, and now our special service company has been upgraded to a special service battalion, this establishment is not adjustable, what do you all think?"

Yang Yuanshan gets straight to the point.

Zhou Xianpei came to the spy camp on the first day today and immediately said:

"Battalion commander, I just came to work in our battalion, and I don't know much about the situation in the battalion, so it's better for comrades to make up their minds."

As a cadre of the Confidential Section of the General Headquarters, he has experienced the test of life and death in the Qingshan prisoner of war camp, and he knows very well what he should and should not do.

Seeing that the new instructor was a person who understood, everyone present nodded secretly.

It shouldn't be too difficult to get along with him in the future.

Xu Shaobai also spoke:

"Battalion commander, if you have a plan, why don't you come up with it first, and comrades will refer to it together?"

Han Yang, as Yang Yuanshan's number one right-hand man, also said his thoughts:

"Battalion commander, no matter how you adjust it, anyway, I think that if we reorganize it, we must ensure that each company should have basic support firepower.

One or two guns are fine, preferably a Type 92 infantry gun, whether it is a field battle or a small devil turret, it is easy to use. ”

He Yunfu had just returned to Yang Yuanshan's command, and he hadn't figured out the situation too much, so he didn't speak and remained silent.

Zhou Xianpei heard Han Yang's words over there, and couldn't help but say to himself: Good guy, this special battalion is a bit bullish, and a company wants infantry artillery?

How many main regiments don't have any!

But instead of speaking, he remained silent.

A thousand words are better than a silence!

Yang Yuanshan listened to their opinions, nodded, and immediately threw out the plan he had just pondered.

"I am going to reorganize our battalion into four main companies and the guard company, logistics company, communications squad, division number squad, health team, and sharpshooter squad directly under the battalion.

The main company was all reinforced companies, divided into three infantry companies and one artillery company, each with 300 men; The guard company and the logistics company are regular companies, with 100 people.

In this way, the number of people in the whole camp is about 1,500, which is considered a reinforced camp. ”

"A reinforced battalion of 1500 people?

Battalion commander, then we have a big shortage of personnel. ”

When Xu Shaobai heard that there were 1,500 people, he immediately became anxious.

In the battle of the Huting stronghold, the spy company lost 400 dead and seriously wounded, and now there are only more than 600 people in the whole battalion.

Although in the past few days, through the public trial meeting and the grievance meeting, more than 100 people from the two devils captured in the Huting stronghold have been absorbed, two infantry cannons and Ding Wei have been exchanged for 100 people, and cannons and Li Yunlong have been exchanged for 50 veterans, so that the total number of people is less than 900.

If it is organized into an ordinary battalion, then these people are naturally more than enough.

But now that Yang Yuanshan wants to be organized into a reinforced battalion, it is obviously not enough.

Han Yang has always known Yang Yuanshan's domineering style, and he has no opinion on the idea of 1,500 people.

However, He Yunfu didn't mess with Yang Yuanshan in the past half a year, and now that he has returned, he suddenly remembered the feeling that Yang Yuanshan had eight squads with a platoon of drums, and said in his heart: The platoon commander is still the same platoon commander at the beginning, it hasn't changed!

Zhou Xianpei on the side was shocked by Yang Yuanshan again, he has been promoted from an ordinary clerk to a section chief in the past few years at the headquarters, but he has never heard of which battalion of our army has 1,500 people!

Even if the boss's guard battalion is four or five hundred people!

He couldn't help but secretly admire this Yang Yuanshan's courage, and at the same time, he was even more suspicious in his heart: Does this special battalion have so many weapons and equipment?

You can't let the warriors go into battle with broadswords and spears, right?

Yang Yuanshan didn't know what these people were thinking, and seeing that Xu Shaobai was worried about the number of people, he immediately replied:

"If you don't have enough soldiers, then go and recruit!

We can barely count on nearly 900 veterans now, and recruiting another five or six hundred new soldiers is not a big problem.

The big deal is that the recruits first go to the cooking class to cook, go to the artillery company to carry shells, and help the health team carry stretchers, and then promote some of the soldiers of the logistics platoon to the main company, and promote the former ammunition hand to the gunner, so that the adjustment and adjustment are almost the same. ”

Seeing his resolute attitude, Xu Shaobai didn't say anything.

He's already very experienced in recruitment.

In the past six months, he has helped the spy company recruit troops in various villages, and he has always been invincible, after all, the spy company will pay a settling-in allowance if he has nothing to do, and the attraction is too great for the villagers who can't get enough to eat.

After convincing Xu Shaobai of the question, Yang Yuanshan continued:

"The three main infantry companies, each company must be composed of three infantry platoons, a machine gun platoon, and an artillery platoon, each platoon is a five-shift system, so that there are a total of 250 people, plus the guard squad, reconnaissance squad, cooking squad, division number squad, sanitation squad, etc., directly under the company, a total of 300 people.

In the future, the company will be our basic combat unit, go to fight a little devil's turret, ambush a little devil's transport team, a team of 300 people, a squad that bullies the little devil, we must easily annihilate, against a squadron of the little devil, we must fight and win! ”

When Han Yang heard that a company could build a machine gun platoon and an artillery platoon, he was immediately very excited, and hurriedly asked:

"Battalion commander, what are the machine gun platoons and artillery platoons equipped with?"

"What else could there be?

The machine gun platoon was armed with six Type 92 heavy machine guns, and the artillery platoon was armed with one 60-mm mortar and one Type 92 infantry gun. ”

Yang Yuanshan glanced at Han Yang and explained.

Now in the special service battalion, there are six Type 92 infantry guns, one for each of the three main companies, and the remaining three can be thrown in the artillery company.

And the purpose he gave each company such two guns was also to consider that when dealing with an enemy without artillery, a light 60 mortar would solve the problem, and once the attack was fortified or the enemy also had artillery, then the Type 92 infantry guns would be needed.

"But battalion commander, our battalion seems to have only one 60 mortar, not enough for three at all!"

Han Yang's face showed a little urgency.

"If you don't, you will change it, and if you go back and take the two 90mm light mortars in the battalion and exchange them for two 60 mortars with Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan, they will definitely be willing."

Yang Yuanshan thought of an idea.

It's also strange to say that there are a lot of other guns in his system, but the 60mm mortars that can be exploded by killing a little devil second lieutenant rarely explodes.

I don't know why.

"Ah, 90 mm for 60 mm, battalion commander, we are also too bad. And our 90mm mortars are all brand new! ”

Han Yang was a little unhappy.

The 90 mm light mortar, both in terms of range and power, is more than a star and a half stronger than the 60 mortar.

"What's the loss?

Our Type 94 90mm light mortar weighs nearly 300 kilograms, and a cannon requires a bunch of people to serve, which is not suitable for use in our companies at all!

Changing to a 60mm mortar, which weighs only twenty or thirty pounds, one person can carry it and run, which is too convenient! ”

Hearing Yang Yuanshan say this, Han Yang immediately nodded and understood what he meant.

The two of them were discussing the matter of the cannon here, Xu Shaobai didn't feel anything, and He Yunfu and Zhou Xianpei were stunned.

They all felt that this spy battalion, how could it be said that the precious cannon was just like a joke?

Zhou Xianpei couldn't hold back any longer, put his mind of "a thousand words, it's better to be silent" behind, and asked:

"Battalion commander, how many guns does our battalion have now?"

Yang Yuanshan turned his head and smiled at him:

"It's not much, it's only twenty!"

"What? Two...... Twenty doors? ”

Zhou Xianpei felt a wave of dizziness, and his teeth almost bit off his tongue.

What kind of battalion is this?

That's it for the headquarters artillery regiment, right?

It's incredible!

He felt that he seemed to understand a little bit why the boss had arranged for him to come to this camp as an instructor.

Obviously, this battalion is a bit special!

Ah no, it's not a little, it's so special!!

The entire Eighth Route Army does not have such a battalion!

Xu Shaobai saw that his new boss Zhou Xianpei could not accept this fact, and hurriedly explained:

"Instructor, every time our battalion fights with the little devils, we always capture a lot of artillery and shells, and over time, these cannons are saved."

Capture?

Didn't that little devil blow up the artillery and shells when he was defeated?

How is it possible for you to capture so many cannons?

Do you really think of the little devil as the captain of the transport brigade?

Zhou Xianpei thought about it and still couldn't figure it out, but he didn't continue to ask, but nodded:

"I see."

He thought to himself, no matter what the cats of this special service battalion were, he would always find out if he observed more later.

There's no need to break the casserole now and ask to the end.

After talking about the infantry company, Yang Yuanshan said again:

"Artillery company, we are equipped with 1 French M1897 75mm cannon, 5 Type 41 75mm mountain guns, 2 Type 94 37mm rapid-fire guns, 3 Type 92 infantry guns, 3 Type 97 81mm curved fire infantry guns, a total of 14 guns!"

Hearing this data, Xu Shaobai and Han Yang were okay, they all knew that there were so many cannons in the battalion with this capture.

But He Yunfu and Zhou Xianpei were stunned, this is too arrogant!

The trenches are inhumane!

He Yunfu didn't know what a cannon was, he didn't feel anything, but Zhou Xianpei knew it!

He immediately asked:

"Battalion commander, we actually have cannons?

Or are Gallic chickens imported?

Can this also be seized? ”

"Yes, this time I found the stronghold of Huting in the little devil's quartermaster warehouse, there are two in total, and I handed over one to the regiment."

Now that Yang Yuanshan is talking about the source of the loot, he is already very experienced.

"But how can the little devil have imported Gallic chicken cannons?

Still in a small Tiger Pavilion stronghold?

Is this Tiger Pavilion stronghold so important? ”

Zhou Xianpei couldn't understand it at all.

Yang Yuanshan smiled:

"I don't know!

It's a pity that we didn't have time to capture the little devil in the Huting stronghold and interrogate him slowly, otherwise we might have asked the reason. ”

He said in his heart: Even if you arrest all the little devils in the Tiger Pavilion stronghold and interrogate them one by one, it is estimated that you will be confused, hehe!

Hearing Yang Yuanshan's answer, Zhou Xianpei could only be speechless.

But he couldn't help but ask:

"Battalion commander, the cannon is heavy and powerful, should we hand it over to the headquarters artillery regiment?

Maybe a bigger role can be played in them? ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Shaobai didn't feel anything.

Han Yang and He Yunfu looked at him with a little wrong looks.

As the men who lead the troops, of course they like to have strong artillery support in their battalions.

Zhou Xianpei also keenly felt the change in Han Yang and He Yunfu's expressions, and couldn't help but secretly regret that he was shocked by the strength of the special agent camp for a while, saying that he was bald and stupid.

However, Yang Yuanshan didn't mind Zhou Xianpei's words, and explained:

"Instructor Zhou, forget about this cannon, wait until we capture a dozen more guns in the future, and then hand them over to the headquarters and form an artillery regiment."

For him, it is the king to pull up the strength of the special battalion in the early stage, and kill more little devils.

As for the artillery, the little devil is his transport brigade, not to mention a 75-mm cannon, even if it is a 150-mm heavy gun, sooner or later it will explode.

Zhou Xianpei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Yang Yuanshan's face was not angry, and nodded hurriedly:

"The battalion commander has a point."

However, he was muttering to Yang Yuanshan in his heart: What a big breath, more than a dozen mountain cannons have been captured, this is also something that can be imagined?

At this time, He Yunfu couldn't help but say a little proudly:

"Battalion commander, we have fourteen guns in one artillery company, which is more powerful than the artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army!

That's too strong! ”

At the beginning, he followed Yang Yuanshan to Cangyunling to meet Li Yunlong's breakthrough, and saw the artillery battle of the 358th Regiment Artillery Battalion and the artillery squadron of the little devils.

At that time, he and the soldiers of the new regiment were extremely envious of the twelve 75mm mountain guns of the Chu Yunfei Artillery Battalion.

Now, he felt that Chu Yunfei's artillery battalion was scum.

Yang Yuanshan thought of Chu Yunfei, the guy who liked to put the colonel's head score, and couldn't help but sneer and despise it:

"Hmph, the artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment?

Don't look at their 12 mountain guns, the power is not weak, but when it comes to a real battle, our artillery company dares to fight to the last man, what about them?

I'm afraid that if I lose three or four guns, I will have to retreat and run away, right?

This kind of troops, which can't fight tough battles at all, are just decorations! ”

Hearing this, everyone present nodded.

They all understand that the combat effectiveness of a unit does not lie in weapons and equipment, but in whether it dares to fight.

Dare to fight, even if it is a big sword and spear, it can make the enemy frightened.

Don't dare to fight, no matter how well equipped you are, it is easy to rout and become a piece of meat in the enemy's mouth.

……

After talking about the establishment of the four main companies, Xu Shaobai asked again:

"Battalion commander, this time we will only form four main companies, how will the personnel be arranged?"

"Han Yang served as the deputy battalion commander and the commander of the first company, He Yunfu served as the commander of the second company, and Feng Shuanglin, the former machine gun platoon commander, served as the deputy company commander, because Yunfu had just been transferred to our battalion from the new regiment, so you should go to the second company as an instructor and help Yunfu sort out the second company.

No problem, right? ”

Yang Yuanshan said that he felt sorry for Xu Shaobai, he was originally Han Yang's superior, but now with such an adjustment, Han Yang is already half a level higher than him.

However, Xu Shaobai didn't have any guilt in his heart, and hurriedly nodded and said:

"Rest assured, battalion commander, I will definitely do a good job in the second company."

Over there, He Yunfu was originally only the deputy company commander of a 100-man company in the new regiment, but now he has become a full-time company commander of 300 people as soon as he was transferred to the special service battalion.

"Battalion commander, I just joined our battalion, I don't know anything about the situation, I rashly serve as the company commander, I'm afraid that I won't do well, why don't you choose someone else?"

Yang Yuanshan's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, and he said:

"Comrade He Yunfu, the organizational arrangement is not a dinner invitation, it doesn't matter who eats more or less.

I propose you to be the company commander because you are capable enough, and I believe that you can lead the soldiers to victory, if you are afraid that you will not do well, then study hard, think more, be cautious, and not shirk, understand? ”

Seeing that Yang Yuanshan's words were so serious, He Yunfu suddenly felt ashamed of his careful thoughts about evading responsibility just now, and hurriedly got up and agreed:

"Yes!"

After beating He Yunfu, Yang Yuanshan continued:

"The third company let the previous reconnaissance platoon commander Li Dahe take the position, he is bold and careful, and he is a talent.

The deputy company commander asked Wang Quan, the original commander of the third platoon, to send it.

Li Youqiang's cavalry platoon and war horses were always used to carry cannonballs and pull cannons, and they didn't do any cavalry work at all.

Now that the war horses have almost lost everything, they simply disbanded, scattered the horses to the communication squads of each company, and let Li Youqiao go to the third company to be a platoon leader. ”

Hearing his words, Xu Shaobai and Han Yang both secretly rolled their eyes in their hearts.

Both of them thought: Isn't that why you saw that the war horse was injured, so you excitedly said that the horse was wasted and killed and ate meat?

Otherwise, would the fifty or sixty war horses still have about half of them consumed so quickly?

Yang Yuanshan didn't know what these two people were slandering in their stomachs, if he knew, he would definitely immediately ask: Isn't it that every time you stew horse meat, you don't eat with your mouth full of oil?

If it weren't for my horse to eat, would all of these soldiers in our camp be strong?

"The fourth company is an artillery company, or let Wang Gensheng be the company commander and Gao Yuanzhi be the deputy company commander."

The artillery piece is basically the integration of the previous three artillery platoons, and of course everyone has no objections.

So Yang Yuanshan continued:

"On the guard company's side, I think that Wang Ye is good, so I will promote him to be the deputy company commander and Wei Dayong to be the deputy.

In addition, since our previous machine gun platoon was dispersed into various companies, we may lack the overall fire support capability, so we set up a machine gun platoon in the guard company, equipped with eight Type 92 heavy machine guns, and let Guo Youqing, the deputy platoon commander of the previous heavy machine gun platoon, be the platoon commander.

In this way, our guard company mainly undertakes three parts of functions, the first is the battalion headquarters guard, supported by a platoon of guards, mainly equipped with the ten MP38 submachine guns and three Czech light machine guns, as well as some crooked light machine guns, and we will try our best to replace them all with Czech ones in the future.

The second was fire support, supported by the second platoon of guards, armed with eight heavy machine guns.

The third is battlefield reconnaissance, supported by three platoons of guards.

In this way, our battalion headquarters itself has enough combat effectiveness. ”

……

Yang Yuanshan talked eloquently and gave out all his plans for the special service battalion, and everyone basically did not have any big opinions, so the new establishment and personnel arrangements of the special service battalion were thus decided.

The first specific task of Zhou Xianpei, the instructor of the battalion, was to write down the personnel arrangements of the special service battalion and report them to regiment commander Li Yunlong and political commissar Zhao Gang.
