The beacon of youth

"Comrades, after more than a month of rest and training in our battalion, the tactical quality has been further improved, the training of the new liberation fighters is basically in place, and the problems of clothing and radio have also been solved. Now we can say that the conditions are basically mature.

Everyone here knows that the order of our column has been issued long ago, but because the battalion commander and I think that it is not appropriate to announce it prematurely when the conditions are not ripe, we have not said it all the time. Now the battalion commander and I have decided that our battalion will start today. Formally expanded to a regiment, let the battalion commander announce the order of the superior. "

As soon as Wang Chengde finished speaking, these old soldiers shouted excitedly. It has been more than seven months since the establishment of the spy company. The army has grown from 26 people when it started to more than 3000 people now. Same as the movie.

Li Yong was also very excited. When he ran out of the KMT's field hospital, he didn't expect that he would become the head of the regiment so soon. At that time, his idea was very simple, as long as he could find his own troops.

Li Yong coughed and said: "Comrades, please be quiet. Now I am announcing an order. The former Special Service Battalion of the Fourth Brigade and Second Regiment of the Second Column of the Northwest Field Army will be officially expanded into an independent regiment of the Second Column from today. The head of the regiment is Li Yong, and the political commissar Wang Chengde.

On the basis of the old platoon, 230 people were recruited, and the first infantry battalion of the independent regiment was established. The battalion commander Li Jiangguo served as the instructor. The heavy weapons must be used intensively, so the heavy machine gun platoons and mortar platoons of each battalion are formed first, and they will be supplemented after the troops have captured them. The deputy battalion commander will be recommended by the battalion commanders and instructors of each battalion in the future, and will be selected from cadres at the platoon level, and comrades who have performed well in all aspects will be appointed as deputy battalion commanders.

Based on the second platoon, 230 people were added to form the second infantry battalion. The commander of the battalion was Ma Quanyou, and the instructor was the former deputy battalion commander. The organization was the same as that of the first battalion.

Based on the old third platoon, 230 people were added, and the third infantry battalion was established. The battalion commander was Ma Changsheng, and the instructor was the former deputy battalion commander.

Based on the old fourth platoon, 230 people were added to form the fourth infantry battalion. The battalion commander was Ning Jinshan, and the instructor was the former deputy battalion commander.

Based on the old fifth platoon, 230 people were added to form the fifth infantry battalion, the battalion commander Wang Huohu, and the former deputy battalion commander as the instructor.

Based on the reconnaissance platoon, 230 people were added to form a reconnaissance battalion. The battalion commander Zhang Jinsong and the former deputy battalion commander served as the instructor. In addition, some horses from other battalions were transferred to the reconnaissance battalion. A part of the shell guns should be transferred to the reconnaissance battalion. The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion are equipped with one long and one short pair of weapons.

Based on the heavy machine gun platoon, 230 people were added to form a heavy machine gun battalion, with Wei Gang as the battalion commander and the former deputy battalion commander as the instructor.

Based on the original artillery platoon, 230 people were added to form an artillery battalion, with the battalion commander Gao Xiang and the former deputy battalion commander as the instructor.

Based on the platoon of supplies, 230 people were added to form a supply battalion. The battalion commander Sun Quanhou and the deputy battalion commander He Cuihua did not set up instructors for the time being.

On the basis of the police-communication class, it will be supplemented with 100 people, and the regiment will be established directly under the police-communication company. The company commander, Li Yuming, will not have an instructor for the time being. The police-communication company will have three platoons. Xiaocheng, Li Jia, the leader of the third communications platoon.

Based on the original health team, a regiment was established directly under the company-level health team. Captain Hu Xiaolian, because of the special nature of the work, the health team will not be replenished for the time being. The health personnel captured in the last few battles will be recruited to each battalion, because each battalion also has A sanitation team was formed. "

Speaking of this, Li Yong asked everyone to be quiet, and continued to announce: "Because we are an independent regiment directly under the column, we have a certain degree of independence in the appointment and dismissal of personnel. Therefore, the political commissar and I decided that the chief of staff, deputy head, and deputy political commissar of our regiment, The director of the political department is the four combat staff officers from the former battalion department. The political commissar and I have already reported this matter, and we are waiting for the commander to reply. In addition to doing your job well, you guys have to continue to take on the task of recruit training , that is to say, when there are recruits in the future, the four of you will be responsible for the training.”

After Li Yong announced the order, the venue was full of steam. Li Jiangguo, the first battalion commander, grinned and said, "See, don't look at me. I haven't been a company commander, but now I'm the battalion commander. See you next time." To the brothers of our second regiment, I have to let them see and see."

"You are really a dog. You can't hold a few taels of sesame oil in your stomach. You can't sit still as a battalion commander. If you become an official, you won't be able to go to heaven." Ma Quanyou, the second battalion commander, said while blowing smoke rings.

"Jiang Guo, think about how to train the troops. Most of the 300 people are prisoners. Don't just think about showing off." Fifth Battalion Commander Wang Huo gave Li Jiangguo a fist.

Taking advantage of everyone's joy, Li Yong continued: "Tiger is right. You can't just be happy, and you can't just think about showing off like Jiang Guo. Starting tomorrow, we will grind and train the troops. A week later, the political commissar and I need to check.

If there is a problem with any battalion, the political commissar and I will deal with it if we can't pull it up at the critical moment. Do you understand?Li Jiangguo, don't just think about showing off, but think about how to train troops. Our regiment has nine battalions, and who is the main battalion is not just spoken. We will see you on the battlefield whether it is a mule or a horse.

Wei Gang's machine gun battalion must have a clear understanding of the performance of anti-aircraft machine guns. In the future, each battalion should help Wei Gang and the others to pay attention. As long as they are related to anti-aircraft machine guns, they must be collected. All of you here are veterans. Everyone has eaten. The loss of the enemy's air force, as long as our regiment's air defense strength reaches a certain level, we will beat him down when his plane comes again.

Gao Xiang, the training focus of your battalion is the twelve howitzers. You have to train without shells. I don't care what method you use, but it won't work if it doesn't meet the standard.

Let me tell you one more piece of news. The dozens of small guns in the artillery battalion will be gradually distributed to the artillery platoons of the infantry battalions. Now the artillery platoons of the five infantry battalions do not have a single small gun. This is not possible. , It will affect the performance of our regiment's combat effectiveness.

The regimental artillery battalion should gradually transition to focus on large-caliber artillery. Of course, this is not the case now, because we have no shells for large-caliber artillery, and our twelve cannons can only be used as decorations.

When carrying out tasks in the future, collecting large-caliber artillery and shells is also one of the tasks of each battalion. In the northwest, the industrial base of our border area is very weak. We can only produce some simple bullets and grenades, and we can only carry out some simple operations on guns. For repairs, most of the weapons and equipment have to be seized, and our limited heavy weapons must be used as intensively as possible. This is also an impossible solution.

Another point is that we must prepare for the battle against Yulin in the future, and think of ways and ideas. Each battalion must prepare a combat plan for Yulin, and report to me and the political commissar together in a week. "
