Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 153

Zhou Weihan and the others entered the room, and Zhao Gang enthusiastically poured a glass of water for Xing Zhiguo.

Xing Zhiguo took the water and said solemnly: "Head, political commissar, the chief of staff talked to me before I came this time. The meaning of the headquarters is that it will not interfere too much with the reorganization of the independent detachment. After the personnel are discussed and determined by us, they will be directly reported to the headquarters. .”

Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang looked at each other. Although Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang had already made up their minds, it would be much more logical to get the approval of the headquarters to reorganize.

"This time I also brought [-] cadres who graduated from the Anti-Japanese University, just to solve the problem of lack of cadres after the expansion!"

Zhou Weihan glanced at his watch, and said directly, "Old Xing, it's too late today, the three of us will have a small meeting first, and tomorrow I will call all the main cadres of the regiment over, and we will organize a meeting."

"Dong Jiang, go and inform the battalions and the departments directly under the regiment to come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting tomorrow!"

Then Zhou Weihan gave Xing Zhiguo a brief introduction to the situation of the new second regiment.

"The basic situation is like this. The political commissar and I meant to upgrade all four infantry battalions to a regiment-level organization, and distribute the supplementary battalions to each regiment," Zhou Weihan said.

"Head, on the way here, I saw that the law and order in the defense area is very good. If all the main forces are transferred, will it be affected?" Xing Zhiguo said worriedly.

"Don't worry about this. Every village has its own militia. For the two counties of Wu'an and Wuyi, I don't want to give up. What I mean is to transfer some capable militias and independent brigades from the local area to form a local The garrison regiment is responsible for the two counties of Wu'an and Wuyi.

Wuyi and Wu'an can be used as logistics bases, and food and material resources can continuously support the main force in combat! "Zhou Weihan said.

The next day.

The battalion commanders and the heads of the departments directly under the regiment headquarters have all arrived.

Zhou Weihan occupied the main seat, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo sat on the two sides, and the rest sat along the two sides.

"Everyone is here today. This is the chief of staff sent by the headquarters, Comrade Xing Zhiguo. Welcome!" Zhou Weihan said loudly.

"The news that our new second regiment will be expanded into an independent detachment must be known to all of you!"

As soon as Zhou Weihan finished speaking, the tense faces of all the people present couldn't hold back their tension, and they all showed smiles.

"Don't be too happy too early, the burden on your shoulders will be greater when the establishment is up! Now report the situation of your battalions!"

Several battalion commanders looked at each other, and Jing Dagang first said: "Commander, our first battalion currently has six companies, 869 people, each with 46 light machine guns, 13 heavy machine guns, six 6 mortars, and 82 guns. 12 mortars, rifles are all 60 big caps."

What Jing Dagang said was an understatement, but the other battalion commanders gasped. The first battalion had always been the sharp knife battalion when the new second regiment was formed, but they didn't expect that the first battalion would still be so well equipped after the expansion.

Zhou Weihan nodded slightly after hearing this. Zhou Weihan is quite satisfied with the situation of the first battalion. The first battalion has been fighting by Zhou Weihan's side. Although the number of people is not as large as that of the second and third battalions, the big battles have been fought, and all the survivors are elites. .

Of course, Zhou Weihan gave priority to supplying weapons and equipment to the first battalion.

"Commander, in addition to the fourth company in southern Hebei, our second battalion currently has five companies with 1150 people, 42 light machine guns, and 9 heavy machine guns. The rifles are more complicated, Wanguo brand, but they are in good condition. , There are also quite a few grenadiers, and there is also an artillery platoon, two 60mm mortars, and a little devil's 81mm artillery." Second Battalion Commander Xu Dali said.

Then Wu Qin also said: "In addition to the fifth company in southern Hebei, the third battalion currently has six companies with 1082 people, 40 light machine guns, and 8 heavy machine guns. The situation of rifles is similar to that of the second battalion, but our third battalion is a small devil I seized two Italian cannons in my hand, but the shells were less, just over 120 rounds!"

As soon as Wu Qin finished speaking, Xu Dali said, "Wu Qin, where did you get the two 75mm mountain cannons?"

"Hey, this is also our fate. There is a group of puppet soldiers in Cixian County who don't know where to assemble two Italian cannons. I feel itchy to see them. In a fit of anger, I killed them. Now our third battalion has serious problems. The firepower is up!" Wu Qin happily glanced at everyone present.

In addition to the artillery battalion of the new second regiment, the third battalion was the first to have mountain artillery.

The Italian gun is not made in Italy. The prototype is the French Schneider M1897 75mm gun imitated by Italy. It is the world's first modern cannon and is nicknamed "Miss France".

During the First World War, Italy imported a batch of such artillery from France, and the second-hand products that were eliminated after the war were sold to China, and finally appeared on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War.

"Okay, Wu Qin, with this good equipment, you still hide it for me!" Zhou Weihan scolded with a smile.

"Commander, you can't take these two cannons away. There are so many cannons in the artillery battalion that are almost rusting!" Wu Qin complained.

"Aren't you just two mountain cannons with your little promise? Worthy of my concern?"

At this time, Wang Yigong, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, said: "Regimental Commander, our Fourth Battalion currently has four companies, with a total of 950 people. The last time our Fourth Battalion cleaned the battlefield in Heijiakou, we picked up a big deal and dug out two gates from the mound. The little devil's 81 mortar, three [-]-type heavy machine guns, and seven crooked handles, I have equipped the soldiers with these, and more than [-] rifles have been handed over to the repair shop. Eight machine guns, thirty-two light machine guns!"

The equipment of the Fourth Battalion was quite complicated, and most of the equipment used was captured from the puppet army. Zhou Weihan knew this, so he gave the Fourth Battalion the advantage he got in Heijiakou last time.

Then everyone looked at Chen Feng's artillery battalion. Since its establishment, the artillery battalion has been staying in Yanwang Mountain for training and rarely participated in battles.

"Why are you looking at me like this? This artillery battalion is not your infantry battalion. It can be expanded if you want. In addition to artillery, professional gunners are also essential.

Commander, our artillery battalion has not been idle during this time. The number of artillery has not changed, but I have added a reconnaissance platoon to each artillery company in terms of staffing. If the artillery has no eyes, no matter how good the gunner is, it will not work.There are also special calculation soldiers in the artillery battalion. "

"Range measurement, practicing the use of the steering wheel and artillery mirrors, continuous measurement of artillery battle formations, observation of bombing points, and night reconnaissance of the enemy's situation have all been professionally trained in our artillery battalion!" Chen Feng said clearly.

The few battalion commanders present got dizzy when they heard it. How did they know that there are so many ways to shoot artillery.

"Okay, Chen Feng, you really gave me a surprise. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your cannon camp!" Zhou Weihan was also overjoyed after hearing this.

Then the cavalry company and the independent brigade also introduced their situation.

Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang looked at each other and nodded.

"The superior has issued an order. My delegation organized and announced the reorganization order. All four infantry battalions have been upgraded to regiment-level combat units. Reorganization is carried out on the original basis.

In view of the small number of people in the first battalion, more than 300 people from the fifth company of the original reserve battalion, which is now the supplementary battalion, were all added to the first battalion.

The remaining 300 people in the supplementary battalion were added to the fourth battalion.

The 500 soldiers transferred by the brigade headquarters were divided equally among the second, third, and fourth battalions. After the two companies in southern Hebei and other large forces entered southern Hebei, they quickly returned to the army. "

"The [-] people from the brigade headquarters did not have any equipment, and all the equipment of the fifth company was left behind. Jing Dagang, isn't your first battalion also wiped out a Japanese squadron in Heijiakou? Give them the equipment that the regiments lack. Take them all to the repair shop!"

The repair shop can't help repairing equipment, and it is also an arsenal. The equipment captured after several battles is placed in the repair shop.

"Li is very capable!"

"To!"

"Don't get tired of me, boy. You have made a lot of contributions during this time. Based on the existing more than 600 people in the independent brigade, 600 people were drawn from a militia team to form a garrison regiment. After the independent detachment was launched, , responsible for the security of Wuyi and Wu'an counties!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"Leader, then our regiment must have a number!" Li Daben said pitifully, clasping his hands.

"What's the number? It's called the Wuyi Defense Regiment!"

"The regiments will be reorganized as soon as they go back. The situation in southern Hebei is not waiting for everyone. They are late, and they can't even drink soup!" Zhou Weihan finally said.

"Yes, detachment leader!" Several people shouted in tacit understanding.
