Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 354 Troop Reorganization, Firepower Configuration at All Levels

The meeting lasted almost all morning. At noon, everyone had a meal at Yanwang Mountain and returned to their respective residences one after another.

Wu Qin led away a group of supporting cadres, but did not want any recruits.

The new regiment has ten infantry companies, the last regiment is divided into five infantry companies, the second regiment is divided into three infantry companies, the fourth regiment is divided into two infantry companies, and each of the three regiments is divided into a heavy machine gun company.

The last heavy machine gun company left in the military area.

The participants dispersed, and Zhou Weihan and the others talked about the reorganization of various troops in the Tainan Military Region and the allocation of firepower.

The reorganization plan had already been concluded before, and the main regiment was still in the system of three companies and four platoons for each battalion. However, considering that the staff was too bloated, after negotiation, the staffing was changed to a three-company and three-platoon system.

In this way, the staffing of the main force and the main force have also been unified.

Several regiments of the independent detachment are easy to talk about, but the problem is Li Yunlong's Xinyi regiment and Ding Wei's 28th regiment.

"The first battalion of this new regiment actually has 862 people in one battalion. This staffing is comparable to the strength of half a regiment of ordinary troops!" Zhao Gang looked at the staffing report reported by the new regiment, and said with emotion.

"Li Yunlong still has a way of leading troops. The new regiment was pulled out by Li Yunlong. At the time, the army had just been reorganized into the Eighth Route Army. He was the battalion commander of the 386th Brigade Supplementary Regiment. The new regiment was only established in early 38. How long has it been since then? , just pull out a large regiment of 3000 people, no less than the original 772 regiment!"

Xing Zhiguo was working in the combat department of the division headquarters at the beginning, and he is quite familiar with the changes within the 129th division.

"This is indeed a problem. It is imperative to standardize the staffing of the troops, but like the New First Regiment, the three-battalion and nine-company system will definitely not work. In addition, there have always been the main force regiment and the sharp knife battalion in the army. The staffing of each battalion is the same, which will discourage the enthusiasm of capable cadres!"

"On the contrary, if a regiment has a sharp knife battalion, everyone will try their best to match the sharp knife battalion, so I think that there is no need for a battalion to be stuck, just three infantry companies. Let's take the new battalion Zhang Dabiao. There are so many people in the first battalion, as long as the staffing of the company platoon is clear, it will be fine to have four or five companies, and they can take the top at critical moments, right?" Li Yunshan said slowly.

"Well, the staffing at the company platoon level is dead, and the battalion level can relax a little bit. That's it. After the meeting, a circular will be issued to each regiment!" Zhou Weihan said.

In the first few days of October, the main regiments began to reorganize one after another.

Taking Jing Dagang's first regiment as an example, there were 2300 people in total after the replenishment of troops.

Infantry squad: 12 people

Including two three-person rifle groups, one three-person machine gun group, and one three-person 50 mortar group (50 1mm mortar, 50 rounds of 30mm Japanese grenades, 3 pistols, pistol bullets 60 rounds)
Machine gun team: machine gun shooter, machine gun deputy shooter, machine gun ammunition hand.

Rifle group: 1 rifle per person, 50 rounds of standard rifle ammunition, 6 grenades.

The squad leader and each team leader are individually equipped with pistols.

Infantry Platoon: 40 men

It has three infantry squads under its jurisdiction, plus the deputy platoon leader and instructor, and a correspondent.

Infantry company: 150 men

three infantry platoons

两个3人迫击炮组（60毫米轻迫击炮1门，60毫米迫击炮炮弹30发，手枪3具，手枪子弹60发）
A cooking class of 12 people

Company headquarters: chief and deputy company commanders and chief and deputy instructors, one cultural teacher, three correspondents, and four hygienists.

Infantry battalion: 540 men

Three infantry companies of 150 men

Battalion Headquarters: Chief and Deputy Battalion Commanders, Chief and Deputy Instructors, Combat Staff Officers, Teachers, and Security Guards, a total of 14 people

A 12-member communication class, a 12-member cooking class, a 12-member health team, and a 40-person security platoon directly under the battalion headquarters.

Infantry regiment: 2300 people

Three infantry battalions (540 men)
An 82 mortar company, equipped with six 82 mortars, has a total of 108 people.

Three heavy machine gun companies, equipped with 27 Maxim heavy machine guns, 27 horses, a total of 324 people.

A supply company with 108 people, a regiment headquarters guard company with 108 people, plus a cooking team, a communication team, a health team, and several cadres in the regiment headquarters.

The above is the staffing of a regiment, and it is only with the full support of the military region that 2300 people can reach full staffing.

The rest of the regiments are currently not fully staffed. For example, the number of the Fourth Regiment has reached about 2000 due to the reformation of puppet prisoners and the addition of new recruit companies from the military region.

The second regiment has fewer personnel, only about 1800 people. As for Wuqin's third regiment, it is a different kind.

Except for one regiment, the three regiments were equipped with only 18 heavy machine guns.

The first and second regiments were all equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns, while the third and fourth regiments were mixed with some Japanese Type [-] heavy machine guns.

The Tainan Military Region can have such a large number of heavy machine guns, and it also benefits from the battle with the stubborn army.

In addition, Commander Chen of the Southern Hebei Military Region allocated ten Maxim heavy machine guns to the independent detachment at one time.
Regarding the establishment of the heavy machine gun company, in order to give full play to the potential of its personnel and at the same time suppress the firepower of the Japanese field brigade, a company is equipped with nine heavy machine guns, which is equivalent to one for each squad.

The Huangyadong Arsenal allocated a total of 50 new 310 mortars and 50 modified 150 mortars to the Tainan Military Region.

Tainan Military Area Repair Institute produced 50 new 85 mortars and 50 modified 110 mortars.

A regiment has a total of 99 infantry squads, all equipped with 50 new 99 mortars.

The remaining 50 mortars were evenly distributed to the main regiments, and the extra heavy machine gun company was distributed to the Xinyi regiment and the 28th regiment.

Three days later, the main regiments of the Tainan Military Region were reorganized and reported to the military region.

"The first regiment, the third regiment, the new first regiment, and the 28th regiment are fully staffed according to the requirements, only the second and fourth regiments are short of some personnel!" Xing Zhiguohui reported.

Zhou Weihan thought about it for a while, and said, "Don't recruit recruits for the lack of personnel that the second and fourth regiments said, and see if we can recruit some anti-Japanese armed forces, so that the combat effectiveness will not be affected."

"The Fourth Regiment is easy to talk about. It is next to Lin County, and there are many miscellaneous national army troops and anti-Japanese armed forces in the surrounding area. However, the lack of 500 people in the Second Regiment may not be enough to make up for it. The surrounding area is surrounded by the armed forces of our Eighth Route Army. It was transferred from the local armed forces, and Wang Ying couldn't justify the transfer of 500 people!" Xing Zhiguo said.

"What's so rare about this? Can a living person be suffocated by urine? Ask the Second Regiment to send people south to Lin County, but make it clear to them not to conflict with the troops of the national army, and don't let some people with ulterior motives take advantage of it." Zhou Weihan instructed.

"I see!"

Lin County has always been in Zhou Weihan's development plan. After repelling the Japanese raids and consolidating the current Tainan base area, the Tainan Military Region will definitely expand southward in the future.

The first step is to march into Lin County. Lin County is a good place to replenish the source of troops.

In the next step, Bingfeng pointed directly at the north of Henan, plotting Zheng County and Kaifeng.
