Chapter 279: A battalion of nearly 4,000 people?
After sending Zhao Gang away, Yang Yuanshan immediately called all the cadres of the battalion to his battalion headquarters for a meeting.
"Comrades, these days have also been resting, the basic training of the recruits has been almost done, it is time for us to reorganize the troops!"
Yang Yuanshan gets straight to the point.
"Battalion commander, you're right.
The scout reported that a wing of the little devils was stationed in Qubei County.
It is estimated that the probability is that it is coming for us, so we have to plan early. ”
Han Yang was in charge of summarizing the news from the scouts recently, and immediately spoke.
"Yes, battalion commander, you just say how to reorganize, we just listen to you."
Wei Dayong always looks like "don't let me use my brain to think".
It made everyone laugh.
Yang Yuanshan didn't pretend anymore, and immediately asked:
"Old Zhou, how many people have been converted by the two devil captives?"
"In this series of battles, we captured a total of more than 980 prisoners of the second devil, and later the public trial, more than 180 people were shot, more than 230 people who were unwilling to do it with us were released, and finally 550 people were converted to join us."
"What about the recruits?"
"There are a lot of recruits, as soon as I heard that we gave 20 catties of grain and 5 oceans for settling-in money, the villagers in this nearby village are eager to join the army, and even from the east of Heyuan County, there are thousands of people, and finally I selected the best of the best, and recruited a total of more than 1,200 recruits."
Zhou Xianpei introduced.
"Good guys, the captives and recruits together, this is more than 1,700 people, not bad!"
Yang Yuanshan hurriedly praised.
With these more than 1,700 people, plus the original 1,000 or so people left in the special service battalion, the entire special service battalion went straight to 3,000 people, which is directly half a brigade.
He is battalion commander Yang, and he will soon live the life of brigade commander Yang.
"Since we have so many recruits, it's easy to do.
First of all, we have to transfer people from the recruits to fill the gaps, and in addition, I will form a fourth infantry company and a second artillery company. These two companies are the same as the main company, 350 people.
In the future, our special service battalion will be a super reinforced battalion of four main infantry companies, two artillery companies, one anti-aircraft artillery company, and one guard company. ”
Yang Yuanshan initially threw out his own thoughts.
When they heard that they were going to engage in 8 main companies, everyone present was very shocked.
That's 2,800 front-line soldiers!
Not to mention fighting a brigade of little devils, even if they have a hard fight with a wing of little devils, they will not be cowardly!
Zhou Xianpei hurriedly asked:
"With so many companies, how do the company commanders of each company arrange?
There is a shortage of cadres at the company and platoon levels! ”
"For cadres at the company and platoon levels, there is definitely no need to think about counting on their superiors.
Let's promote from within, in this battle, those who perform well should be promoted.
For example, Wang Quanfa, the deputy company commander of the third company, performed very well and was directly promoted to the commander of the fourth company.
Feng Shuanglin, deputy commander of the second company, served as the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company.
and Xu Erfei, who is also a talent in the logistics company, must be qualified to be a platoon commander. ”
Han Gaozu Liu Bang can conquer the world by relying on the talents of a county, and Yang Yuanshan certainly does not believe that there are not enough talents in his battalion.
It's just that most of them don't get a chance to get ahead.
So now, without hesitation, he began to roll out and promote.
Seeing that he is so confident, what else do everyone say?
I could only be a melon-eating crowd, and I heard him arrange the company commanders of the eight main companies.
"A company, Han Yang's first company commander let it out, and let Xu Wei, who is in a row, be the first company commander."
Yang Yuanshan threw a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth.
Suddenly, the smile on Han Yang's face froze.
He couldn't help but stand up and give his old partner Xia Dayi a grievance:
"Battalion commander, it's no problem that I shouldn't be the company commander, but it should be the deputy company commander Xia Dayi who takes over, right?
You directly promoted Xu Wei to company commander, isn't it too fast?
Although he was in the team of his hometown before and had been in the army for a few years, he has only joined our battalion for a few months now, why don't you let him become a deputy company commander for a few months first? ”
"Xu Wei has the ability, so he should be promoted.
As for Xia Dayi, let him be the commander of the second company. ”
Yang Yuanshan did not hesitate to arrange.
At this moment, the original second company commander He Yunfu was also stunned.
His own company commander is just gone?
Seeing that Yang Yuanshan had beaten his two most trusted generals at the beginning, everyone in the company commanders present looked solemn.
No one dared to speak anymore.
They all know that the battalion commander may be going to get serious today.
Sure enough, they said next, Yang Yuanshan said:
"Monk, don't do your guard even the company commander, let Wang Ye come."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present became even more worried.
Xindao: Battalion commander, you're too ruthless, aren't you?
Kill three generals in one hand?
When Wei Dayong heard this, of course he was unhappy, and hurriedly asked Yang Yuanshan:
"Battalion commander, then I'm not the company commander, why am I going?"
"Hmph, don't you like to charge, I'll give you a chance."
Yang Yuanshan still likes the monk very much, after all, such a heartless cadre is rare!
"What chance?"
Wei Dayong's eyes lit up.
"I'm going to form a special operations company of 100 people, and you will be the company commander."
Yang Yuanshan explained.
"Special Warfare Company? What for? ”
"Just like the secret service team of our independent regiment before when the little devils sneak attacked, they are responsible for special tasks such as decapitation, infiltration, and surprise attacks.
I want you to select the 100 people with the strongest individual combat effectiveness from the whole battalion and join your special operations company.
In the future, he will be responsible for going deep into the heart of the little devils, specializing in killing the officers of the little devils and destroying the command system of the little devils! ”
"Medium! Middle! Battalion commander, I like this! ”
Wei Dayong scratched his head and smiled innocently.
"This time, we found a batch of bicycles in the abandoned house of Li Dashan in Qixia Town, about 110, and I will give you a hundred to improve your mobility ability.
I want your special operations company to stay in the camp if it's okay, and let me ride out on a bicycle, go to the place of the little devil to reconnoiter intelligence, sneak attack the enemy, and specialize in fighting the officer of the little devil and the second devil, understand? ”
Yang Yuanshan's purpose is, of course, to get some good equipment.
Now that he is fighting the little devils step by step, most of the equipment that has exploded in the system is still ordinary equipment, and he is not lacking at all.
Good things like box guns, bicycles, and machine guns, the number is still far from enough, if Wei Dayong's special operations company is formed, and when the time comes, he will send him to Jinyang City to blow up the headquarters of the Little Devil's First Army, then it will be called exciting!
"What? Bicycle?
I've only heard of this thing, but I've never ridden it. ”
Wei Dayong felt that this new special operations company might be more energetic than the previous guard company, and he couldn't help but smile all over his face, but when he heard the "bicycle", he felt puzzled.
"I'm going to school if I haven't ridden it."
Yang Yuanshan gave him a blank look.
At this time, Han Yang asked:
"Battalion commander, is there any surplus of bicycles?
I heard that there was a bicycle spy company in the Northwest Army before, and if our whole battalion could be equipped, the speed of action would not be slower than that of the little devil's mechanized troops! ”
"Only these 110 vehicles were seized this time, and if you want more, you can only wait for them to be captured later."
Yang Yuanshan decided to wait for the team to be reorganized, and immediately send them out to ambush the little devil's baggage team, kill more baggage soldiers, and maybe they can explode again.
At that time, if the more than 3,000 people in the special service battalion are all on bicycles and maneuvering, they will definitely be able to beat the little devils to the north.
……
After talking about the infantry company, Yang Yuanshan talked about the arrangement of the three artillery companies.
"We also captured a lot of artillery this time, and our three artillery batteries had to be reorganized."
Hearing him talk about the artillery company, Gao Yuanzhi and Feng Shuanglin couldn't help but feel nervous.
"The artillery company suffered heavy losses this time, and even Gensheng was seriously injured, so the first artillery company was promoted from the first platoon commander Ding Yongkuan to the deputy commander of the first artillery company.
The newly formed Second Artillery Company was headed by Gao Yuanzhi.
As for the anti-aircraft artillery company, Shuanglin served as the company commander. ”
"Battalion commander, what about the equipment of our artillery batteries?"
Gao Yuanzhi hurriedly asked.
"Zhao Li, tell me about the current artillery situation of our battalion!"
Yang Yuanshan named Zhao Li.
Zhao Li stood up and explained:
"Before the Battle of Qixia Town began, our battalion had a total of 2 75-mm cannons, 4 Type 94 37mm rapid-fire guns, 9 Type 41 75mm mountain guns, 20 Type 92 infantry guns, 3 Type 97 81-mm curved fire infantry guns, and several other small-caliber mortars.
However, in this battle, our artillery losses were very serious, there was only one cannon left, 2 rapid-fire guns, 3 mountain guns, only 8 Type 92 infantry guns, and all the Type 97 81 mm curved infantry guns, so that there were 13 guns in total. ”
Hearing that the artillery company had lost almost sixty percent of its artillery this time, everyone present couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
From these loss figures, we can know the fierceness of the artillery battle at that time.
Gao Yuanzhi hurriedly stood up and took responsibility:
"Battalion commander, it's our artillery company that didn't protect the artillery well, so the losses are so big, you criticize me!"
Yang Yuanshan waved his hand:
"It's none of your business. I ordered the people to be safeguarded.
The artillery can be captured again, and the sacrifice of experienced gunners is the greatest loss. ”
Hearing this, Gao Yuanzhi suddenly felt warm in his heart.
The other company commanders present also felt that it was a great honor to follow a battalion commander like Yang Yuanshan who cherished the lives of the soldiers.
Suddenly, the cohesion of the special service battalion reached another level.
Zhao Li also said:
"The battalion commander was right. Although we suffered heavy losses, we also captured a lot of artillery this time.
A total of 2 Type 41 75mm mountain guns, 17 Type 92 infantry guns, 10 Type 97 81mm curved fire infantry guns, 3 Type 97 90mm light mortars, and 1 Jinzao 82mm mortar were captured, a total of 33 guns. ”
As soon as everyone calculated in their hearts, they knew that there were still a total of 46 guns in the battalion, and the strength of this artillery could be said to be quite explosive.
Especially if that's not counting the anti-aircraft guns!
Yang Yuanshan immediately arranged:
In this way, in the future, the artillery company will be mainly equipped with direct firepower, including a total of 1 cannon, 2 Type 94 rapid-fire guns, 5 mountain guns, and 4 Type 92 infantry guns.
The second artillery company is mainly equipped with curved firepower, equipped with 4 Type 92 infantry guns, 3 Type 97 90mm light mortars, and 5 Type 97 81mm curved fire infantry guns.
The rest of the guns will be put in the logistics warehouse for later use. ”
None of the people present had any objection to this arrangement.
Although the second artillery company in charge of Gao Yuanzhi was slightly weaker than the previous artillery company, he had no opinion on his promotion from deputy company commander to company commander.
At this time, Yang Yuanshan said again:
"Finally, there is the anti-aircraft artillery company, this time we have captured too many anti-aircraft guns, in addition to the three damaged in the battle and given to the regiment commander, we now have a total of 4 Bofors 75 mm anti-aircraft guns, 19 Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, and 8 Erlikon 20 mm machine guns!
That's a total of 33 anti-aircraft guns! ”
"What? So much? ”
Everyone present was shocked.
When did the precious anti-aircraft gun turn into a cabbage?
"Haha, I don't know who left 19 anti-aircraft guns in the abandoned house of Li Dashan in Qixia Town, which is a big bargain for us."
Yang Yuanshan's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
Although no one can believe that they can easily pick up an anti-aircraft gun, it is a fact.
Everyone could only let go of this, and Feng Shuanglin took the lead and asked:
"Battalion commander, there are so many anti-aircraft guns, even if my company adds 350 people, I'm afraid it will be impossible to operate so many guns!"
"There are so many anti-aircraft guns, so I think that at least in a few months, we will occupy Qixia Town and not leave.
The little devils want to bomb us, so we will fight them to the end with anti-aircraft guns.
So my idea is that you train a platoon of anti-aircraft guns specifically to operate those 4 75-mm anti-aircraft guns that are difficult to move, as our fixed anti-aircraft positions.
If it was to be transferred in the future, the four guns would be blown up with all shells and not taken away. ”
Hearing Yang Yuanshan's words that he didn't feel sorry for Ye Tian, everyone present wanted to beat someone.
If you really do this, have you thought about the feelings of the superiors?
Ever wondered about the mood of the other main forces?
How many troops would rather sacrifice the lives of their soldiers than save their artillery!
Feng Shuanglin still complained:
"But we can't finish the remaining 19 40mm anti-aircraft guns!"
"Your anti-aircraft artillery battery is armed with 12 40-mm anti-aircraft guns and 8 20-mm machine guns. Train more gunners, I allow you to train with live ammunition! ”
Yang Yuanshan made the final decision.
……
With such a reorganization, the special service battalion has become a behemoth with 8 main companies, as well as special combat teams directly under the battalion, sharpshooter squads, logistics companies, engineer companies, communications squads, and health teams!
To fully fill the establishment, it will take almost 4,000 people!
It's not weaker than Chu Yunfei's 358 regiment!
At least in terms of firepower and combat effectiveness, it should be able to hang the 358 regiment!
Yang Yuanshan also specially explained to Zhou Xianpei:
"Lao Zhou, the recruitment of recruits still can't be stopped, and now our recruits and converted prisoners have filled up the establishment of each company, and it is estimated that the logistics company and the engineer company are still empty, which is not good.
It is very important to use the logistics company and the engineer company as our reserve training bases, because in the event of a tense war, there are people in these two companies who can be used. ”
"Understood. But battalion commander, is it really okay for us to have so many people in one battalion? ”
Zhou Xianpei was a little apprehensive.
He said in his heart: In the past, I have seen a lot of knowledge in the headquarters, but I really have never seen a battalion with a full strength of nearly 4,000 people!
"What could be the problem?
There are so many little devils, we don't have more people in our battalion, how can we fight them?
Now the little devils have been eaten by us several brigades one after another, and the next time they come, they will definitely attack us with a wing or even a brigade as a unit, if you want me to say, we are far from enough! ”
Yang Yuanshan said and said, he was also a little worried.
The little devil comes to a wing, he is not afraid.
But if you come to a brigade, it's a lot of fun.
When the time comes, as long as the little devil brings an artillery wing, the special battalion can only flee in embarrassment.
The huge power of 48 field guns, the small arms and legs of the special service battalion are far from being able to withstand it.
Seeing him say this, Zhou Xianpei didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement.
……
Seeing that Yang Yuanshan had arranged everything, Han Yang and He Yunfu immediately looked at each other.
The company commander position on the two of them is gone, what should I do now?
Han Yang is okay, he can still be his deputy battalion commander, but He Yunfu has become a soldier?
He immediately stood up and asked:
"Battalion commander, what are your arrangements for me and Lao Han?"
After being reminded by him, Yang Yuanshan realized that he still had something important to say, and hurriedly said:
"Since our battalion now has a huge strength of eight main companies, it is somewhat inconvenient for the battalion headquarters to directly command each company.
So I decided to set up two brigades in the battalion, the first brigade was led by Han Yang, who was responsible for commanding the first company, the second company and the first artillery company;
The second brigade was led by He Yunfu, who was responsible for commanding the third and fourth companies and the second artillery company.
As for the other guard companies, antiaircraft artillery companies, and special operations companies, they are under the direct command of the battalion headquarters. ”
Hearing this arrangement, Han Yang and He Yunfu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, they understood that they were still the battalion commander's confidants and loved generals, and they were not abandoned by the battalion commander.
