Chapter 255 Strong Independent Regiment
end of October.

For the Eighth Route Army, the greatest joy is two things.

One was the Yamazaki Brigade, which had gone deep into the sky alone, and was wiped out on the south slope of Lijiapo.

The other thing is that Kong Jie of the Independent Regiment led the Independent Regiment to successfully break into the hinterland of the North China Security Army, and attacked the arsenal and hospital of the North China Security Army, and returned to the station smoothly.

In contrast, even Ding Wei, the head of the Xinyi Regiment, who led his troops to wipe out a reinforced Japanese squadron and captured hundreds of people from the Fourth Regiment of the Huangxie Army of the Third Army of the North China Security Army, seemed to be overwhelmed by this incident. The limelight was overshadowed.

For the Japanese army in Taiyuan City, the end of October was obviously an unlucky time.

The Yamazaki Brigade, which was originally intended to test the strength of the Eighth Route Army, was directly destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.

The arsenal and hospital of the North China Security Army were attacked again by the Independent Regiment.

Even the reinforcements that supported Li Jiapo were traumatized one after another, and two of them were even wiped out.

One of them was naturally the Gujing Squadron in the Daqingshan area, and the other was in the guerrilla area of ​​the Xinyi Regiment, which was annihilated by Ding Wei's four-stage ambush.

The name of Ding Wei, the head of the new regiment, also appeared for the first time in the Japanese military intelligence documents in Taiyuan City.

After cleaning the battlefield that day, he returned to the station with a full load of captured and hundreds of puppet prisoners.

Ding Wei also smiled and said to the commander of the first battalion, "I hope we can wipe out the Japanese squadron this time, and we can show our face to some extent. Lao Kong can't let Lao Kong steal all the limelight."

The first battalion commander understood his regiment leader's thoughts too well, "Regimental commander, I think you want to make the noise louder so that the devils will remember it. Once the big sweep starts, you can also share part of the pressure for the independent regiment?"

Ding Wei smiled and said: "It's a incidental reason. Even if it's a big raid, this little devil can't take our Xinyi group under his eyes, right? There are fewer devils here, so how can we kill them to our heart's content?"

The first battalion commander nodded heavily, and he admired his regiment commander more and more from the bottom of his heart.

……

Independence Corps.

After Kong Jie led the team back to the station, he was not idle and immediately arranged many matters.

First, factory director Yuan, who had arrived in the base area, and a group of workers from the arsenal were settled in the independent regiment.

In addition, Kong Jie arranged for Dong San from the Equipment Repair Institute to lead Factory Director Yuan and his party to visit the Equipment Repair Institute on the same day, and considered and discussed the development of the follow-up independent group Repair Equipment Institute.

There are also the family members of the puppet soldiers who surrendered to the Independence Regiment. Kong Jie temporarily placed them in a village near the station, and arranged for cadres to communicate with the local government. Our family members are well settled and taken care of.

"This is the first time that the puppet army has surrendered to our independent regiment in such a large number. We must do a good job at the beginning. This will even affect the reputation of our independent regiment in the puppet army in the future. We must not be sloppy."

Before leaving, Kong Jie confessed that he finally handed over the task of communicating with the local government and settling the families of these puppet soldiers to Li Wenjie, the instructor of the Ninth Company.

Then, Kong Jie called the battalion and company commanders and urgently held a military meeting of the regiment headquarters.

At the meeting, the five battalion commanders plus an acting battalion commander were all present. Li Yunlong's eyes almost popped out. Good guy, I haven't seen you for a few days. people from Malay.

At the beginning of the meeting, Kong Jie got straight to the point:

"Comrades, everyone is aware of the recent situation. Our independent regiment has expanded to a large scale. Now there are two more battalions and more than 300 new troops."

"This is a good sign, but it also means that the burden on our independent group is much greater."

"The scale of logistics also needs to be expanded, because there are more people eating here."

"And the military training should not be left behind. Everyone knows that the newly added troops this time include local troops, militia organizations, and brothers who have surrendered from the puppet army. Although it is not impossible to have no military foundation at all, but Compared with the veterans of our independent regiment, these soldiers must still lack a lot of actual combat experience."

"The most important thing is that our entire team lacks unity and coordination due to the mixed composition."

"So I discussed it with the political commissar. Starting today, our independent regiment is going to make a temporary adjustment in the organization. The regiment will temporarily expand three recruit battalions, namely the fifth battalion of recruits, the sixth battalion of recruits, and the seventh battalion of recruits." camp."

"The commander of the fifth battalion of new recruits is temporarily concurrently held by the first battalion commander Wang Leihu, and the deputy battalion commander is Du Aiguo. The No. 6 battalion commander of the new recruit is temporarily concurrently served by the second battalion commander Shen Quan. Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, will serve concurrently as the commander, and the deputy battalion commander will assist more in the work of the headquarters of the first battalion, the second battalion and the third battalion."

"The fourth battalion will not change."

"There is only one purpose, to bring recruits and soldiers together to live and train together. Within half a month, let recruits and comrades thoroughly understand the life and schedule, training methods and intensity, and combat style of our independent regiment, so that the soldiers can fight as soon as possible. From the former militia, local army and other identities, I formally adapted and transformed into a member of our independent regiment."

"After the recruit training period is over, the recruit battalion will be disbanded automatically, and all recruit comrades will be dispersed and organized into formal combat troops."

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, said in surprise: "Regiment commander, this recruit battalion is a strange thing, our Eighth Route Army seems to have never heard of any unit that has such a precedent.

But if you think about it carefully, this recruit battalion is really useful. The recruits are gathered together for various studies and training. After the recruit training period is over, they will be broken up and incorporated into the army.

This is much better than we used to stuff recruits directly into the team. "

Kong Jie said: "The situation is different. Our independent regiment has expanded its recruitment before, and it has never happened in the current situation. It has so many extra troops all at once.

The current situation of our independent group is actually somewhat beyond my expectations.

Therefore, it is necessary to temporarily form a new barracks.

After digesting this batch of recruits, the formation of the recruit battalion will naturally be disbanded.

In the future, our independent regiment can follow this precedent, or expand the recruit company in the battalion, or expand the recruit platoon in the company, and use it to concentrate on learning and training for recruits.

When fighting, you can also bring these recruits with you and arrange them in the final sequence of the battle, let them experience and learn in the actual combat environment, and strive to grow up as soon as possible in this way. "

Political commissar Zhao Gang expressed the essence in one word: "The temporary organization of recruit battalions or recruit companies is more for the purpose of allowing recruits to quickly adapt to the process of changing from civilians to soldiers."

"In fact, from our militia organization, to local troops, and then to our regular army troops, the process is similar to the function of these recruits."

Kong Jie smiled and said: "The political commissar is right, that is to say, our independent regiment has the confidence to expand so many troops in one go. If it is put in other regiments, we can only keep these troops in The militias in the village are organized and raised in the local army."

The cadres all laughed, this is the truth.

In many cases, the combat troops of the Eighth Route Army cannot find enough soldiers. The problem is that it is easy to recruit an army, but it is necessary to support an army, which is not only the guarantee of logistics, but also the supply of weapons and equipment. big problem...
