Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"It's indeed 500 people." Xu Qingfeng confirmed at this time.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, what the hell, it really gave so many people a preparation.

No wonder the company commander wants to set up a few more companies, this is for the convenience of follow-up management.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this and continue talking about the appointment." Li Jin raised his hand to make everyone quiet.

"The commander of the sixth company, and the deputy platoon leader of the first row, He Yuning." Li Jin continued to talk about the appointment, and he looked at the young man sitting on Liu Changshun's left.

"Xie Lian, no, thanks to Battalion Commander's trust, I promise not to let you down!" He Yuning stood up excitedly, saluted Li Jin, and said in his mouth.

He didn't expect that he would become a company commander so quickly, which was appreciated by the battalion commander.

"Sit down." Li Jin motioned him to sit down.

"Next, the commander of the seventh company will be Wu Changfeng, the deputy commander of the third platoon!" Li Jin looked at the young man next to He Ming.

"Ah?! Me?! No, Battalion Commander, I'm not good enough. I can just be a platoon leader." Wu Changfeng pointed at himself in surprise, and then talked about his shortcomings.

His marksmanship and stabbing are the weakest in the special warfare company. Every time he is injured in a battle, he is basically one. Compared with other platoon leaders, he is really weak. Being a platoon leader is very important. contented.

"As a commander, you don't need to be skilled, you just need to have a good mind. I still appreciate your performance. You must be the commander of the seventh company!" Li Jin said seriously.

What he needs is a commander with wisdom, not a commander with well-developed limbs. Although Wu Changfeng is not skilled, he is very good at assisting the third platoon leader He Ming in management.

In addition, during combat, he can also put forward some suggestions to avoid casualties of soldiers. In terms of skill alone, Wu Changfeng is very weak, but in terms of brain, he is no worse than other platoon leaders.

Wu Changfeng froze in place, he didn't expect the battalion commander to value him so much.

"What are you waiting for? Thank you battalion commander." He Ming whispered.

"Wu Changfeng promises to live up to the battalion commander's trust!!!" Wu Changfeng stood up and saluted, and said loudly.

"Hmm." Li Jin nodded in satisfaction, and then talked about the appointment of the commander of the investigation company and the commander of the sharpshooter company.

When Lu Changgong and Xiao Jinming heard it, they were at a loss. They didn't expect that the two company commanders in the back would have a place for them.

"Commander, my time in the Eighth Route Army is too short, you can just let me be a platoon leader, I'm not qualified for a company commander!" Lu Changgong said as he got up.

"Battalion Commander, I think so too." Xiao Jinming also got up.

The two felt that they were not qualified to be company commanders, and he was worried that other soldiers would be dissatisfied. After all, other soldiers joined the army much earlier than them.

However, the battalion commander asked him, who joined the army later, to serve as the company commander and entrust him with important tasks, which was inappropriate.

"What is qualified or not? You two are worried about the short time in the army and the dissatisfaction of other soldiers." Li Jin directly said what the two of them were thinking.

"No." The two defended in unison.

"No fart, you underestimate yourself too much. Let me ask you, who is dissatisfied with Lu Changgong and Xiao Jinming as the commander of the investigation company and the commander of the sharpshooter company?" Li Jin looked at the crowd and asked.

"no!"

"Both Lu Changgong and Xiao Jinming have done very well. They have killed countless enemies. Their abilities are stronger than ordinary fighters like us."

"Yes, they are very capable, and they should be the new company commanders."

"........."

Everyone talked in a hurry, almost without any hesitation.

Because everyone saw what the two did, Lu Changgong led the reconnaissance team, not only perfectly completed the intelligence collection, but also like a sharp knife, tore through the defense of the devils, making it easier for them to fight.

If there were no reconnaissance squad, I am afraid that many of them would have died long ago.

Speaking of the sharpshooter team led by Xiao Jinming, the devil's machine guns couldn't be fired at all during the battle, and even in an ambush, the devil's artillery could be killed immediately.

It can be said that without the amazing marksmanship of the sharpshooters, their battles would not have been so smooth, and they would not have kept the death rate at zero.

They admired these two people very much. Sometimes, they even felt that their positions were too low. They were just squad leaders, but they made more achievements than platoon leaders.

The two are now company commanders, and each of them is dissatisfied.

"This, this." Seeing this, Lu Changgong and Xiao Jinming didn't know what to say for a while.

"See, none of them are dissatisfied. You two are just thinking too much. You are just a company commander. Why are you making such a fuss?" Li Jin said angrily.

Lu Changgong and Xiao Jinming's prestige in the special warfare company was actually very high, and those soldiers knew clearly how much contribution they had made.

Although the two were promoted from squad leader to company commander in one fell swoop, no one would have any objections. They only felt that the two were more competent, but it was not unacceptable.

"So, Lu Changgong appointed the commander of the reconnaissance company, and Xiao Jinming appointed the commander of the sharpshooter company." Li Jin made the decision.

"Thank you battalion commander!" Lu Changgong and Xiao Jinming saluted Li Jin and shouted loudly.

"Sit down, and then, the officers from your companies will be appointed. I don't care about that. You choose it yourself. After the selection, write the list and give it to me! Do you understand!" Li Jin said.

"Understood!" All nine company commanders responded in unison.

"Well, Battalion Commander, I have a question." Fifth Company Commander He Qingshan raised his hand and said.

"What's the problem?!" Li Jin wondered.

"Man, my company has no one other than me, how can I appoint officers." He Qingshan said.

"That's right, company commander, the three of us are all polished commanders, what can we use to appoint officers, we can't hold multiple positions." Sixth company commander He Yuning also said.

Both the reconnaissance squad and the sharpshooter team have soldiers. The three of them are bare commanders. The battalion commander must assign some soldiers to them.

"I've thought about this issue a long time ago, that is, the soldiers of the new company will be divided into half from the original platoon, and then they will be appointed.
For each company, if there is a platoon leader, there are four platoon leaders, four deputy platoon leaders, and the same is true for the squad leader. In short, we must ensure that there are enough officers, understand. "Li Jin said.

In this way, all soldiers of the special warfare company can basically have a position, at least a deputy squad leader. Of course, the soldiers have not been given to them for the time being.

After all, they haven't recruited yet, and they will be assigned when they are recruited later.

"Yes!" The company commanders nodded in agreement.

"Okay, next, you make appointments on your own, and I won't bother you." Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng left the classroom.

As soon as they left, the soldiers in the classroom were all blown up.

"According to what the battalion commander said, each of us seems to have a position."

"That's right, we will no longer be soldiers, but also leaders."

"Don't tell me, I'm still a little nervous in my heart. After serving as a soldier for a long time, I'm not used to being an officer all of a sudden."

All the soldiers talked a lot, and they were very excited.

Tang Zizheng was even more grateful for his choice to stay in the Special Warfare Company.

"Old Tang, we were right when we chose to stay. Our Battalion Commander is indeed a person who can soar into the sky." He Qingshan couldn't help but said.

If they had chosen to leave the special warfare company, they probably wouldn't be here now.

Although they were only promoted to be company commanders, there were more than one company, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were battalion commanders.

"Yeah, I've been reinstated." Tang Zizheng said with a smile. He was the battalion commander in the first place, so he wasn't particularly happy. It was just a reinstatement.

The key is that from this incident, he saw how much the brigade commander attached importance to Li Jin.

It doesn't matter if the brigade commander asks Li Jin to expand the staff, and all the officers under him are also appointed by Li Jin, which means that the brigade commander has great trust in Li Jin.

Trusting enough that Li Jin can completely control a regiment's troops, this point, even the regiment leader probably didn't do it.

You must know that the head of the new regiment is not completely in charge of his own decisions. In other aspects, the head of the group also has concerns.

The reason why the regiment leader was not allowed to completely control the troops was because he was worried that something unexpected would happen. For example, if there was a defection, it would cause great losses to the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, this is only one of them, there are many other reasons.

But no matter what, the brigade commander absolutely trusts Li Jin, and it can even be said that he attaches great importance to it. He pays attention to the fact that the brigade commander does not want others to intervene in the special operations battalion.

"However, to be honest, I feel that the brigade commander seems to have great trust in the battalion commander. He actually completely asked the battalion commander to appoint officers for his subordinates.

If it were someone else, they would have already arranged for people to intervene in the special operations battalion, but the brigade commander didn't do that. "He Qingshan said.

Many senior military officers do not allow their subordinates to have absolute say over their troops. Even if their subordinates are promoted and expanded, they will definitely interfere in the appointment of officers.

This is to prevent the subordinates from completely controlling the troops, because this is too dangerous.

If that subordinate rebels and kills them with a bunch of soldiers who swear to follow, no one can bear the result.

"Yeah, if it were me, I really wouldn't be able to do this. I can only say that the battalion commander is too powerful." Tang Zizheng said.

Compared with his subordinates who are completely free from suspicion, many people can't do it.

"Following the battalion commander, there is meat to eat." He Qingshan said, he believed that the battalion commander would be promoted to the position of regimental commander later.

At this time, Liu Changshun was also complimenting Zhao Ming and the others.

"Oh, I'm going to call your company commanders from now on, Company Commander Zhao, Company Commander He..." Liu Changshun yelled at them politely one by one, even Tang Zizheng and He Qingshan he didn't let go.

The whole crowd was a little dumbfounded, how could it feel that after Liu Changshun became the company commander, his tail was up to the sky.

"Where are you, aren't you also the company commander, Liu Lianchang?" Zhao Ming and the others also cooperated with Liu Changshun appropriately, calling the other party Liu Lianchang.

This made Liu Changshun a little bit flustered. Of course, it's okay to make a fuss, and he didn't forget the business.

"Okay, okay, let's arrange appointments quickly." Liu Changshun planned to take out a pen and paper from the drawer and start writing appointments.

"Platoon leader, you haven't given anyone to me yet." He Yuning on the side said, Liu Changshun hasn't given anyone to him yet, how can this work.

"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot, I will give you the first squad leader, the deputy squad leader, the second squad leader, and the 32 soldiers below." Liu Changshun said.

Anyway, people, one half, no one too many.

Almost everyone else does too.

Instead, Lu Changgong and Xiao Jinming fell into deep thought.

There are too few people in their two belts, and the number of officers is not enough at all.

Especially the reconnaissance squad, including Lu Changgong, there are sixteen people, four front platoons, four deputy platoons, there is one platoon, and the total number of chief and deputy squad leaders is only seven people, and the remaining few platoons have no hair at all.

Outlaws at least 20 people.

"Old Xiao, let's ask the battalion commander, let the battalion commander give us some people." Lu Changgong found Xiao Jinming and said.

"Yes, okay." Xiao Jinming nodded.

"By the way, why did the battalion commander forget about the two of us?" Lu Changgong wondered. The other new companies can rely on the original company's important people. They have a hairy man.

"I reckon that the battalion commander did it on purpose. He should have something to say to us in private." Xiao Jinming thought for a while and said, based on what he knew about the battalion commander, the other party would not make such a small mistake.

"It makes sense." Lu Changgong was not an idiot either, he understood it as soon as he heard it.

Soon, the two came to Li Jin's room, and found that both Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng were there.

"Here we come." Li Jin smiled.

"Battalion Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander." The two saluted Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng.

"Sit down," Li Jin looked at the two empty chairs not far away.

"Commander, um, can you send us some people from other companies, the number of officers appointed is not enough." Lu Changgong said.

If a company cannot form a management system, it cannot fight a war.

"Well, I've already thought of this. You can ask the second company commander Zhao Ming for a while. Once you talk about it, he will understand." Li Jin nodded and said.

He had already mentioned in public before that Zhao Ming would understand the matter of not having enough manpower to divide the troops in the original army.

"Yes!" Xiao Jinming nodded.

"I have something else to tell you. In terms of follow-up recruits, I will be assigned to your company first. Therefore, you two have to promise me to train the recruits well and not to disappoint my expectations." Li Jin said seriously.

He asked the two of them to come to him just to talk about it.

"Isn't this too good? The other companies are also short of personnel. Hold on to us first. They won't have any objections." Xiao Jinming hesitated.

Although it is good for the company to recruit people early, it should not bring recruits from other companies.

"No, they understand what I mean, the scout company and the sharpshooter company, those are the two most important units of our battalion,
You have trained people well, and we can reduce casualties when we fight in the future. "Li Jin said.

The reconnaissance company is equivalent to a sharp knife, used to tear apart the enemy's defense, and the sharpshooter company is to harvest the enemy's important targets. What kind of officer, machine gunner, that is the task of the sharpshooter company.

"Yes!" Lu Changgong and Xiao Jinming nodded seriously.

"Actually, the members of the Sharpshooter Company are not in a hurry. Your position is quite special.
So, in the follow-up, you can directly select talented soldiers from other companies to the company, and then conduct training. "Li Jin said, it was a bit difficult for Xiao Jinming to train people directly.

Because not everyone has a certain talent, so wait for other companies to train people to a certain level, and then select the sharpshooter company for training.

Of course, it is impossible for the sharpshooter company to just wait for other companies to train people, and it has to train people themselves. When the time comes, those who are not suitable for the sharpshooter company will be sent to other companies.
