Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 979

4 Month 10 Day!
After a week of first-level alert for all Chinese troops in the Taihang Mountains, the Japanese army has not conducted any large-scale military operations, nor has there been any large-scale military mobilization. The intensity is downgraded to level 921.

The Japanese North China Front Army also refocused its attack on Xuzhou and dispatched troops around the heavy city of Linfen. For the important traffic line of the Hanchang Highway, the Japanese army did not invest a large amount of transport capacity in addition to transporting troops. supplies.

Seeing that the Japanese North China Front Army was so wronged, Brigadier Cheng and Tang Dao decided that if the child was like this, they would not spank him for the time being, and the Taihang Mountains in eastern Shanxi temporarily returned to calm.

Of course, the main reason is that they beat up the Japanese army twice in a row in mid-March and early April, and robbed a lot of supplies. The 921 Division and the Four Elements Regiment also had to digest it well, absorb all these nutrients, and then go to beat the Japanese. Wouldn't it be nice to slap him down and swell his face and buttocks?
4 Month 15 Day!
After several consecutive days of military meetings, the regiment headquarters of the Four Elements Regiment fully listened to the opinions of representatives of each battalion, company, and even squadron. Tang Dao personally announced the second reorganization plan since the establishment of the Four Elements Regiment.

And this time the reorganization plan is not the simple firepower deployment of the previous ones, everyone can feel Tang Tuanzuo's determination from it.

After reorganization, the goal of the four-row regiment is not to target one Japanese infantry regiment, but two or more infantry regiments.

The reorganization plan is from top to bottom. First of all, the regiment headquarters. Tang Tuanzuo didn't care about any mountains or rivers and lakes this time. He began to reform drastically, and put everyone in the corresponding position according to their working ability.

Regiment Headquarters (50 people): Colonel Tang Dao, the head of the regiment, and Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiong, the deputy head, under the jurisdiction of:
1. Political training department (and the teaching team is responsible for training officers, 10 people): the director, Colonel Ye Chenghuan (also the leader of the teaching team), has 9 staff officers above the rank of lieutenant officer, and is equipped with 10 Browning pistols.

2. Staff Office (10 people): Lieutenant Colonel Gong Shaoxun, chief of staff, has jurisdiction over 9 staff officers above the rank of lieutenant officer, and is equipped with 10 Browning pistols.

3. Military Supplies Department (10 people): Lieutenant Colonel Zhuang Shisan, the director, Captain Zhao Chengxi, the deputy director, 8 staff officers above the rank of lieutenant officer, equipped with 10 Browning pistols.

4. Ordnance Department (10 people): Director Lieutenant Colonel Tantai Yunshu, deputy director Major He Zehui (also director of the arsenal), 8 staff officers above the rank of lieutenant officer, equipped with 10 Browning pistols.

5. Military training department (10 people, in charge of training soldiers): the director, Major Han Gen, the deputy director, Captain Yang Songlin, under the jurisdiction of 8 staff officers above the rank of lieutenant officer, equipped with 10 Browning pistols.

The ranking may seem subtle, but in fact, the order of the officers of the regiment has been publicly announced to the whole regiment for the first time.

Needless to say, Tang Dao and Lei Xiong, the head and deputy head of the military are the first and second in command of the military, the new Director Ye Da has become the third person, and Gong Shaoxun has been transferred from the second deputy head to the chief of staff. However, Zhuang Shisan finally ceased to be the titular chief of staff and went to his best position, becoming the head of the military supply department, in charge of the equally important logistics work in the regiment. Judging from his relieved expression, It should be extremely satisfied with this position.

Gong Shaoxun was also very satisfied. In the past, when he was the second deputy commander, he was always under the pressure of Tang Dao and Lei Xiong. He had no chance to express his combat intentions. Now that he is in charge of the staff office, he can at least fully express his voice.

As for Ye Chenghuan becoming the third in command as soon as he came, this was actually a foregone conclusion before. He and Zhuang Shisan didn't have much to tangle with. With Tang Dao's attitude towards this colleague, the two people are fine no matter whether they are in public or not. Both in private and in private, he is trying to build a personal relationship with this young but somewhat unsmiling army colonel.

However, Tang Dao directly promoted Tantai Yunshu to the head of the Ordnance Department, and gave him the rank of lieutenant colonel in an unconventional manner. This was actually a lot of consideration.

The newly established Ordnance Department governs the most important military factory of the Four Elements Regiment. It takes a lot of time to coordinate materials and personnel. Teacher Xiao He mainly focuses on technology, but he doesn't have so much time to spend on such trivial matters. As Tang Dao's future father-in-law, Tantai Yunshu has a halo in himself. When he goes to coordinate with various departments, everyone will try his best to save face, and most of them are his students in the military factory.

However, don’t think that the old handsome Tantai guy wants to be this official. That’s all, Tang Dao came to invite him personally. His little padded jacket has done ideological work several times in a row. This old handsome guy who is still obsessed with painting scrolls and maps of Taihang Mountain It was only then that he reluctantly accepted the job.

But he asked for a privilege, that is, he can not wear military uniform at ordinary times, and he can not participate in some unnecessary military meetings. Even the military salary is not given by the old handsome Tantai guy. According to his request, it will be donated to those who are injured and disabled. soldiers.

What's more, the 8 lieutenants under him were all personally named by him. They were all soldiers who had recovered from injuries in the Tantai Mingyue medical team but were destined to be disabled and didn't want to leave the army.

You said, such a director Tantai, can the whole army of the Four Elements Regiment disrespect him?
As for the fact that Uncle Han became the director of the military training department, he used his spare time to compile the "Essentials of Battlefield Fighting and Stabbing". .

Of course there were those who were dissatisfied. Strong company commanders like Zhao Daqiang, Li Jiujin, and Cai Yongguan had all challenged the head spearman in the training class, but without exception, they all failed miserably.

Even Captain Cai Dalian, who is known as the brave champion of the three armies, was poked by the old uncle Han with a wooden gun in the chest before the boss had a piece of white ash. In less than three strokes, he was stabbed by this grandmaster-level martial arts master with a single shot.

Of course, regardless of whether it is Tantai Yunshu or Old Uncle Han, the purpose of assigning them high military positions is to make it easier for them to carry out their work, and the real core of the Four Elements Regiment must be the two military chiefs of the regiment and the political leaders. The training department, the staff department, and the military supplies department are also called the five giants of the Four Elements Regiment by the whole regiment.

Outside of the five divisions of the regiment headquarters, there are naturally several companies directly under the original regiment, and all of them have been expanded this time.

Including 586 people in the packhorse company of the supply battalion attached to it at ordinary times, the actual combat number of the artillery battalion is 1369 people!
The whole battalion is equipped with 75 mountain guns and 150 heavy mortars, a total of 19 pieces, 3 machine guns, and 24 anti-aircraft machine guns.

Guangshan guns and heavy mortars have reached half the strength of an artillery wing of the Japanese army. Perhaps the only weak point lies in air defense. 3 machine guns and 24 anti-aircraft machine guns are not enough to pose a big threat to the Japanese fleet from the air.

But Tang Tuanzuo said that this situation will improve within half a year. He will personally go to Jincheng to negotiate and purchase with German arms dealers. In addition to getting back the German weaponry equipment that had previously paid a deposit, he will also purchase anti-aircraft weapons. equipment.

At this time, Germany, not to mention that it is not close to the Japanese, even if it is, for the sake of money, they will tear off their underwear.

As the saying goes: Men don't care about loyalty, but the weight of betrayal is too low; women don't care about specificity, but the degree of temptation is not enough.Human nature can't stand the test on a single individual, and it's even worse in the face of national interests.

If double the price is not enough, double it, if not, triple it!Tang Dao believes that in the face of enough money, the Germans, who have already seen the massive wealth of the Hebrews, will obediently ship their equipment to the Chinese theater, even if it is a new weapon that they currently regard as a treasure.

For example, the MP40 that is entering the mass production stage, such as the 40mm anti-aircraft guns that have begun to be equipped with the army in small quantities
It doesn't seem awkward for Tang Dao to be the commander of the artillery battalion in person. Tang Tuanzuo has always attached great importance to the artillery. If he personally serves as the commander of the artillery battalion, the artillery battalion will only grow stronger and stronger, and can have an artillery unit that can go to the sky with a heifer , It is good news for the whole group of the Four Elements.

The two artillery company commanders, Pang Pang Hai and Cheng Tieshou, have followed Tang Dao for less than half a month, and they are both old subordinates. They were promoted at the same time, and became one of the few school-level officers in the Four Elements Regiment. reward.

One is the deputy battalion commander and the company commander of the mountain artillery company, the other is the deputy battalion instructor and the company commander of the air defense company, one is the main attacker and the other is the main defender. The status of the two in the artillery battalion is indistinguishable, but this does not mean that one cannot win the other. For one thing, the currently vacant post of battalion instructor is calling for these two.

Whoever ascends to this position first means who may be the future artillery battalion commander. The competition between the two artillery generals under Tang Dao's command will inevitably continue for a long time in the future.

If it is no accident that the two artillery companies merged into an artillery battalion, then the special agent battalion expanded from the special agent company will surely attract much attention this time.

Ever since it was announced that Director Ye Da would serve as the battalion commander of the newly established spy battalion, and the special squadron had made a big fuss by recruiting 100 elite veterans to expand into a reconnaissance company, many people were thinking about the former spy battalion, which was mainly responsible for miscellaneous affairs of the regiment headquarters. What kind of strength will it have.

Maybe it's just to improve the establishment, so that the former spies and even the officers are collectively promoted to the first rank?
After all, no matter how elite the reconnaissance company is, it only performs reconnaissance and special operations functions. In a military sense, it cannot become the main force that determines the outcome of the battlefield.

This also means that no matter how the secret service battalion changes, it should still be an auxiliary force. It is their daily life to stay with the regiment headquarters and be guarded by a certain infantry battalion.

But after Tang Dao announced the composition of the spy battalion, many officers and soldiers almost didn't bite their tongues.

Their layout is really too small.

The future spy battalion is not only a unit with internal interests, but also fully capable of independent external operations. They not only have two elite regiments, the guard company and the reconnaissance company, but also artillery, can you believe it?
The strength of the whole battalion, even more than 1200 people, even if it faces a fully organized Japanese infantry brigade in the field state, it is estimated that the battalion can win the battle.

What kind of guards are needed here, they are sharp knives themselves, just take out this knife, it can surely stab the Japanese bloody.
