Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 895 Army Expansion (First Update!)

"Captain, do you have a solution?" Zhou Ze asked with bright eyes.

Wang Ping didn't hide anything, and replied directly: "Yes, everyone still remember the battle when we took Linfen City! Not only did we seize a lot of money and materials, but we also captured more than 1000 overseas Chinese who assembled more than [-] people. More importantly, because Linfen The city is a material supply station for devils, equipped with a large number of cars and stops a large number of trains, we actually found an auto repair shop in the city, a mechanical shop that specializes in repairing cars."

"After mobilization, all these people are willing to join our Eighth Route Army, so I set up an auto repair shop belonging to our Eighth Route Army in the base area!"

"This auto repair shop can not only repair more than 100 cars we seized from the devils, but also use the steel plates on those cars and military trains to weld armored vehicles by ourselves!"

"Although the performance is not as good as the original armored vehicle captured by the devils, there is almost no difference in terms of protection and power!"

"I plan to use [-] cars to convert into [-] earth-built armored vehicles and distribute them to your armored battalion!"

"The rest of the vehicles will be set up as a transport battalion directly under the regiment headquarters, with three transport companies under its jurisdiction, and each transport company will be equipped with [-] transport vehicles!"

"This time we seized a lot of vehicle fuel at Linfen Railway Station and Linfen City, and kept all of them in our base area for storage. If you save some money, it will be enough for the transportation camp to last for a year!"

"In addition, the car transport battalion can not only transport supplies and ammunition, but also transport troops..."

"There are more than 90 transport vehicles. According to one vehicle, fifteen soldiers and supporting equipment and ammunition, it only takes one time to transport a main battalion. Do you know what this means? Within the scope of the base area, our troops only need It can be delivered to any place in two or three hours. Before there were no cars, even a quick march would take at least a day and a night!"

Zhou Ze, who had been wanting to speak, finally couldn't help but interrupted: "Head, how many armored vehicles have been modified by the auto repair shop?"

"One was refitted in three days, and now four have been refitted. Not surprisingly, before the devils occupy Linfen, they can refit four more. By then, the equipment for two armored companies will be ready. And you, Zhou Ze, must ensure that If the auto repair shop modifies an armored vehicle, the armored battalion will have the combat effectiveness of an armored vehicle!"

Zhou Ze's last bit of worry was gone, with a thick smile on his whole face, he assured loudly: "Please rest assured, the regiment commander, the armored battalion promises not to disappoint the regiment headquarters!"

Wang Ping nodded and continued: "Next, I will talk about the appointment just now..."

"Everyone certainly doesn't understand why the military division appointed your four battalion commanders as the deputy chief of staff of the regiment headquarters and the deputy chief of staff of the military division. Now I will tell you a reason!"

"Our new regiment will continue to expand!"

"Now that the base area is getting bigger and bigger, this amount of troops will definitely not be able to guarantee the safety of the entire base area!"

"And even if the security of the base area is guaranteed, the troops don't have any extra troops to meet the attack that the little devils may launch at any time!"

In order to deal with this situation, the head of the military region and the headquarters gave us the new regiment, that is, the right of the military division to expand its own troops. "

"According to the decision of the military division and the regiment headquarters, all four garrison battalions under the military division have been reorganized into the main battalion, namely the new first battalion, the new second battalion, the new third battalion, and the new fourth battalion!"

"The four newly-organized main battalions have a full staff of 600 people. They have three main companies, a fire company, a guard platoon, a communication squad, and an investigation squad..."

"The establishment and scale of the main company is the same as the main battalion in your hands, with a full staff of 150 people!"

"The firepower company has a heavy machine gun platoon with three heavy machine guns, a mortar platoon with three mortars, and a guard transport platoon!"

In the war that just ended, the commanders of the four garrison battalions performed very well.I discussed it with the political commissar, and I think they have the ability to go a step further and serve as the battalion commanders of the four new main battalions! "

"So, the four new main battalion commanders are all promoted by the four garrison battalion commanders, and the instructors are the same!"

"After the reorganization of the troops is completed, the new first battalion will be commanded by Xiong Changhe!"

"The new second battalion is under the command of Xiao Yunshan, the new third battalion is under the command of Yan Song, and the new fourth battalion is under the command of the Rongjun!"

"The reason why I gave you the appointment of a deputy chief of staff is to allow you to command these troops better as a deputy chief of staff! After all, after the reorganization of the troops, the ranks of the newly formed main battalion commanders are already the same as yours. It's the battalion level!"

"It's so troublesome? Why don't you just promote the commander to brigade commander, and we will all be regimental commanders, so there will be no command issues!" Xiong Changhe complained in a low voice.

Although the voice was not loud, Wang Ping could hear it clearly!

Instead of being angry, he smiled and replied: "There must be many people who think the same as Xiong Changhe!"

"To tell you the truth, it's not that our new regiment is not qualified to expand into a new brigade, but that we cannot expand into a new brigade..."

"Everyone, don't forget that our Xinyi Regiment is a regular army recognized by Chongqing. Without the Chongqing order, I, Wang Ping, can only be the colonel of the Xinyi Regiment forever!"

"As for you, you can only serve as battalion commanders, at most deputy regiments!"

"In order to maintain the stability of the united front, it's okay to suffer a little grievance? Of course, if someone particularly values ​​the title of regimental commander, I can find the commander and transfer you out of the new regiment. I can't guarantee anything else. With the combat achievements made by the regiment, the position of the head of the main regiment is definitely indispensable!"

"I would like to stay in the Xinyi Regiment..." Several battalion commanders stood up and answered one after another, fearing that the regimental commander thought he had a double heart for the Xinyi Regiment.

As an officer, it is natural to want to go to a higher position.

In response to everyone's reaction, Wang Ping waved his hands and continued: "Of course, although everyone is thinking of the battalion commander, I will give everyone a chance to be the battalion commander!"

"A main battalion, plus a new main battalion, that is 800 people. Now that these troops are in your hands, the number of troops under your command will not be less than that of many commanders of the Eighth Route Army!"

"As long as you grasp this opportunity well, learn how to be regimental commanders. As long as you have the opportunity, I believe you will definitely become regimental commanders, or even brigade commanders!"

"In addition, what I want to tell you is that the regiment headquarters has prepared far more surprises for you than these!"

"In addition to the four new main battalions, the military region also needs to set up four garrison battalions, each with 300 soldiers, including three infantry companies with 100 soldiers. Each infantry company is equipped with three light machine guns, and is responsible for the defense and suppression of various places bandit!"

"The four garrison battalions are also under the responsibility of your four battalion commanders. After all, you also serve as the deputy chief of staff of the military division!"

"The garrison battalion is formed by your four battalions. The battalion commander and instructor are deputy battalion-level cadres! Soldiers will be drawn from the garrison company and the guerrillas according to voluntary selection!"

"As for the vacancies of the four new main battalions, didn't the political commissar just say that there are many guerrillas in the military sub-division who volunteered to join the main force? We can't let them down, and we can directly join the four new main battalions!"

"In this way, each of your battalion commanders will be in charge of a main battalion, a new main battalion, and a garrison battalion, with a total strength of more than 100 troops!"

"Wear the battalion commander's hat and command a regiment's troops!"
