Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 121 Expansion of the Army
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the new director Jiang Hongchun has already gained the trust of the team leader Wang Ping.

In the independent regiment, as long as he is trusted by Wang Ping, it means that Jiang Hongchun has integrated with the independent regiment.

Deng Hongtao, director of the political department, was in a hurry, and immediately suggested: "Leader, since the situation faced by the independent regiment is so bad, our independent regiment must complete the reorganization as soon as possible, and then conduct training to improve combat effectiveness, and fight against the Japanese and puppet troops in Laiyuan City Grab time."

"Director Deng is right!" Cheng Xiao affirmed.

"Regimental Commander, since the expansion of the independent regiment has already been ordered by the military region, don't wait any longer. The sooner the troops are reorganized, the sooner they can form combat effectiveness!"

Wang Ping nodded and asked, "Chief of Staff, what are your thoughts?"

"What I mean is to expand directly on the basis of three companies. The company is expanded into a battalion, the platoon is expanded into a company, and the squad is expanded into a platoon. When forming an independent battalion, each company has two deputy company commanders and two deputy commanders. Instructor, the company-level cadres should not be a problem. The only problem is the battalion-level cadres. The qualifications of the next three company commanders are a bit low. After all, they were the highest and only served as deputy company commanders before!" Zeng Quan immediately expressed his thoughts .

"Seniority is not a problem!" Wang Ping said with certainty.

"As long as you have the ability, you should be promoted to be the battalion commander. However, you two, the political commissar of the instructor and Director Deng, must carefully consider. If no one can be selected internally, I will bring them back from the military division. They are all Commander Nie of the military division. Ability should not be a problem for those assigned to us!"

"If it's not enough, a few of us will go up and take part in it first, let them be assistants, and we will come down when they mature!"

"I agree!" Political commissar Cheng Xiao was the first to stand up and support.

Both Deng Hongtao and Jiang Hongchun had just arrived, and they had no reason to object, and they all agreed.

Soon, the independent regiment party committee formed a unified opinion and expanded based on the three companies of the independent battalion!

Chief of Staff Zeng Quan suggested at this time: "It is best to finalize the establishment of the independent regiment and the list of cadres above the company at one time. Then we can immediately reorganize the troops!"

Wang Ping suddenly interjected: "We must reorganize immediately, two days to reorganize the troops, and the remaining eight days to run-in training. I only give you ten days, and after ten days, the independent regiment will have combat missions!"

Political commissar Cheng Xiao frowned, and asked worriedly: "So soon, Commander, did you get any news that the devils from Laiyuan City will come out to encircle us in ten days!"

The others also looked at Wang Ping worriedly.For them, ten days was too short, just enough time for the cadres to get familiar with the troops.At this time, the troops are pulled out to fight. If one is not good, the troops will suffer heavy casualties!

Wang Ping shook his head with a mysterious face and replied: "It's not the devil's encirclement and suppression. The specific combat mission is kept secret for now. But I can reveal your two words. I want to pull the troops out for training, and bring back more equipment and ammunition by the way!"

"It will definitely be a protracted battle for the devils to encircle us with heavy troops. The logistics department must not only stockpile food and medicine, but also stockpile equipment and ammunition. Once the battle starts, the consumption of equipment and ammunition must be very large. If there is no reserve, the troops will be exhausted in the end." You can only fight the enemy with the bayonet, which I have never advocated!"

As long as it wasn't for the Japanese army to encircle and fight the devils desperately, Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan would be at ease.

Based on their understanding of Wang Ping, the so-called military training is to find bad luck for little devils.According to Wang Ping's character of only taking advantage and not losing money, there will definitely be no problem pulling the troops out for training, although he doesn't know how Wang Ping will train troops and who he will find for training when the Japanese and puppet troops are all concentrated in Laiyuan City.But they believed that Wang Ping would not suffer any losses if he led the troops out.

Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan didn't speak, and although the newcomers Deng Hongtao and Jiang Hongchun were also very puzzled, they could only hold it in their hearts.

Wang Ping continued: "The expansion of the three companies into a battalion is decided in this way. Because the number of machine guns in the troops is limited, it is impossible to achieve one machine gun per squad. So, what I mean is that the infantry squad cancels the machine gun team organization. Each squad has nine fighters and one squad leader!"

"The infantry platoon has three infantry squads, one machine gun group, one platoon leader, and two deputy platoon leaders, a total of 35 people!"

"The infantry company has three infantry platoons, a small artillery squad equipped with three grenade launchers, a guard squad, a baggage squad, and a cooking squad, plus the company commander, instructor, deputy company commander, deputy instructor, and company headquarters. Clerks, communications soldiers, a total of 150 people!"

"The infantry battalion has three infantry companies under its jurisdiction, a fire support platoon equipped with two heavy machine guns and two mortars, a guard platoon, an engineering platoon, a supply platoon, a reconnaissance squad, a communications squad, and a cooking squad. , plus the battalion commander, trainer, deputy battalion commander, deputy trainer, and battalion secretary, a total of 600 people."

"Our independent regiment has three infantry battalions, an artillery company, a guard company, a supply company, an engineer company, a reconnaissance platoon, a communications platoon, a cooking squad, and then a regiment headquarters, with a total strength of two 500 people."

"The artillery company first forms an infantry artillery platoon, and the remaining two platoons will be formed later when they have equipment!"

"The reconnaissance platoon is composed of elites drawn from the whole regiment, with a staff of 31, and I will personally conduct the training."

"Because of the limited equipment, the first and second battalions and the units directly under the regiment headquarters will tentatively use all-day equipment, and the third battalion will use domestic equipment. We will change them when we have captured them!"

"For the soldiers that are lacking in the expansion of the army, first replenish the troops with the captives of the Imperial Association Army in the hands of the chief of staff, and then select recruits who can shoot and have good foundations to supplement the main force."

"The remaining two thousand recruits, 100 people form a recruit company. According to the plan of the political commissar and the chief of staff, each recruit company is equipped with a veteran for training. Each recruit company is given ten rifles and one thousand rounds of matching bullets for training. Because the cadres Limited, the [-] recruit companies will be handed over to Deputy Commander Feng and Deputy Political Commissar He!"

"In addition, deputy political commissar He can also select [-] party members or probationary party members from the main force to join these recruit companies as instructors, do a good job in the political and ideological work of these soldiers, and try to find some good seedlings from among them, and develop them into probationary party members !"

After the meeting, the independent group began an unprecedented reorganization.

Because the regiment headquarters was fully staffed, as the regiment leader, Wang Ping became the most leisurely person in the independent regiment.

Jiang Hongchun, the newly appointed logistics director, became the busiest member of the independent regiment.After taking over a dozen warehouses, large and small, from Cheng Xiao, although he was frightened by the mountains of supplies in the warehouse.However, the continuous attrition of troops due to frostbite also made him realize the serious problems he faced.

Although he made a guarantee in front of everyone at the meeting, Jiang Hongchun realized that the difficulties and problems he faced were more serious than he imagined, and they were much more serious.

Jiang Hongchun is an old logistics cadre. He used to be able to ensure that the army's logistics would not be problematic when there was no ocean, not to mention that he still held more than 1 yuan in ocean.

Jiang Hongchun has many solutions in mind for the problems that the independent group urgently needs to solve.However, Jiang Hongchun also has a fatal flaw, that is, he is not familiar with the situation and Laiyuan's situation.

If you are not familiar with Laiyuan, then it is impossible to implement the method that has been thought of in your mind!
