Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 503: Reorganization of the Independent Battalion (Part 1)

No matter how the three major generals secretly complained in their hearts that Tang Dao was just a little expert wielding a hoe, this is the military camp.

The iron camp is permanent, but the soldiers are changing!

Some people leave, and some people come.

Putting away the sentimental emotions of parting, Tang Dao took Lei Xiong and others to see off several generals. Wang Gongyu was also very straightforward. He turned around and left after sending them away, without any dragging his feet.

It can be seen that this person who can get a position as a fifth-rank official in the officialdom did not come out of thin air. Once he made a choice, he would never look back.

After losing the remnants of the Songjiang Security Corps that he had spent a huge price to build, the military order of the command center also came down, appointing him as the major general counselor of the Jiashan front-line command center to assist Lieutenant General Guo in charge of logistics and supplies. Although his authority was not great, he participated in the distribution of baggage and supplies. No matter which unit he went to, no one dared to ignore him.

He didn't have to fight on the front line, which just met the wishes of Commissioner Wang. Naturally, he was happy when he left.

After sending away those who should and shouldn't be sent, Tang Dao immediately convened the first military meeting of the independent battalion in the underground bunker in the garrison that could hide an infantry company.

Those who were qualified to participate in the military meeting included former deputy battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion Lei Xiong, captain of the Fourth Battalion Leng Feng, lieutenant of the Fourth Battalion Li Jiujin, lieutenant of the Fourth Battalion Cheng Tieshou, second lieutenant of the Fourth Battalion Gu Xishui, former deputy battalion commander of the Songjiang Guard Battalion Guo Shouzhi, former deputy battalion commander of the Songjiang Guard Battalion Zhuang Shisan, former commander of the fire support company of the Songjiang Guard Battalion Pang Dahai, former deputy commander of the second company of the Songjiang Guard Battalion Qian Dazhu, former platoon leader of the cavalry battalion of the 67th Army Special Service Regiment Lv Sanjiang, former commander of the first company of the second battalion of the Songjiang Security Regiment Zhao Chengxi, and former commander of the first company of the third battalion of the Songjiang Security Regiment Zhu Heicheng.

Leng Feng was promoted to major after this battle. Cheng Tieshou and Pang Dahai were promoted from lieutenant to captain after this battle, and they were also senior officers in the independent battalion. Qian Dazhu, Lu Sanjiang and Gu Xishui were just privates half a month ago. Until now, they have been promoted to lieutenant and second lieutenant respectively. How can they be qualified to participate in this military meeting of the highest level in the independent battalion?

The three of them were personally named by Tang Dao to attend the meeting. Obviously, these three will definitely be promoted and reused by Tang Dao. This is tacitly understood by the officers who attended and did not attend the meeting.

The two from the security battalion may be more of a representative of the remnants of the Songjiang Security Corps. After all, they have nearly 500 people, almost half of the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion currently stationed.

There are naturally no tables in the underground bunker. Half an hour ago, Erya brought Xia Dayu and several soldiers from the security battalion's guard squad to build a simple long table with bullet boxes. The chairs are naturally bullet boxes.

Although it is a bit simple, it has a bit of the flavor of a battlefield.

The officers took their seats one after another, but there was a clear distinction between them. Lei Xiong sat on the left side of the ‘long table’ with several officers from the former Four-Line Camp, while Guo Shouzhi and Zhuang Shisan sat on the right side with officers from the former Security Camp. The two company commanders of the two security regiments thought about it and sat on the side of the Security Camp. It was probably because of the old acquaintance Zhuang Shisan. When acquaintances meet, they still have a close atmosphere.

Lv Sanjiang took a look and was obviously a little confused. Just when he wanted to sit in the corner, Gu Xishui waved and asked him to sit next to him. Lv Sanjiang strode over and sat on the side of the Four-Line Camp.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Obviously, the newly established independent camp also has them.

This way of sitting represents several forces in the independent camp to be established, the Four-Line Camp represented by Lei Xiong, the Security Camp represented by Guo and Zhuang, the remnants of the Security Regiment, and Lv Sanjiang, the cavalry platoon leader who has been fighting alone and has not found a sense of belonging.

Tang Dao, who was sitting alone at the top of the long table, watched coldly. Of course, he understood everything in his heart, but he said nothing.

This phenomenon is everywhere. Everyone will subconsciously stick together with people they are familiar with and close to. That is the most normal human nature. And what he has to do is to knead all the people here together in the shortest time to form a whole, a whole composed of the original small groups, instead of being busy breaking up the original small groups.

That requires enough time, but now, he has no time.

"Everyone, due to the changes in the war situation, my department is now ordered to establish an independent battalion directly under the 43rd Army. If you have any ideas, you can put them forward before I come up with the reorganization plan. Don't wait until I come up with the reorganization plan and then put forward your opinions. I don't have so much time to revise it again and again to try to satisfy everyone, and the Japanese army will not wait there all the time. The time left for us is at most one day." Tang Dao went straight to the point.

Everyone was silent.

Everyone sat upright, staring at the simple table top covered with bullet boxes in front of them, as if they could see the yellow and orange bullets in the bullet boxes through it.

That thing is the favorite item of soldiers on the battlefield, but it should never be in the meeting.

"What's the matter? Aren't everyone good at talking on the battlefield? You become a gourd with no words in a meeting?" Tang Dao knocked on the bullet box in front of him. "It seems that I have to invite them one by one!"

Pointing at Li Jiujin, who was staring at the bullet box with his eyes as if he could see a flower in it: "Come on, Li Jiujin, you speak! How do you think we should reorganize this time!"

Li Jiujin shrank his neck, stood up, and said with a bitter face: "Sir, there are Deputy Battalion Commander Guo and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhuang here! Then it's my turn as a small platoon leader to speak! Oh, no, less than a month ago I was just a small squad leader! Please forgive me!"

The pitiful look is very much like a poor student who was asked questions by the teacher in class.

"Damn it, this old soldier is really not a good guy. You don't want to mention me when you are shirking responsibility! Why don't you mention Lieutenant Colonel Lei, the first adjutant!" Zhuang 'Xueba' glanced at Li Jiujin, who looked bitter, and wanted to spit on the old soldier's face.

Reorganization, of course, requires re-appointment of military positions, and it is very likely that the various departments will be disrupted and reorganized. The most terrible thing is that Tang Dao has just said that he will only give one day, which is a problem for everyone present.

Of course, no one is willing to take the initiative to be the villain.

But since they were all named by the old soldier, Guo and Zhuang couldn't pretend not to hear them. After looking at each other, Guo Shouzhi took the initiative to speak helplessly: "Sir, in my opinion, if we want our independent battalion to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, it is better to temporarily retain the original company organization of the security battalion, and the personnel losses caused by the battle will be supplemented by personnel drawn from the security regiment.

In addition, the various units of the Four-Line Battalion will be disrupted and filled with the remaining units of the merged security regiment. The veterans of the Four-Line Battalion will serve as squad leaders of the security regiment, and some excellent ones can be promoted to deputy platoon leaders. All platoon leaders and company commanders at the grassroots level will be served by officers of the Four-Line Battalion. The original officers of the security regiment, except for a few excellent ones, will be demoted half a level to become deputies, and their military ranks will remain unchanged."

After these words came out, Lei Xiong and others didn't change their faces, but the faces of the two security regiment company commanders were extremely ugly.

The combat effectiveness of the security regiment is not as good as these regular troops. The veterans of the Four-Line Camp survived the bloody battle of Songhu and are trustworthy commanders. They do not deny these two points and are willing to accept such a reorganization. However, it is too unacceptable to demote all their original officers.

Could it be that their contributions to guarding Songjiang and Jiashan defense lines are all wiped out?

This is actually the most normal psychology of human beings. They can be promoted but not demoted. It is not about the size of the power, but also about face!

Except for these two people, the reorganization plan proposed by Guo Shouzhi is a feasible plan for everyone else present.

The original three infantry companies and fire support companies of the security battalion will continue to be retained. Although there are new personnel transferred in, they are generally familiar enough and can be directly put into the battlefield without having to spend effort to get familiar with each other.

Fighting is not just a group of people with guns. It also requires sufficient tacit understanding and trust.

As for the Sihangying, although the overall structure was completely disrupted, soldiers and officers were all in charge of squad and platoon command, and the basic skeleton was still them. In a sense, the Sihangying was only expanded five or six times, and the familiar comrades were still around, so there was no great sense of strangeness.

Didn't you see that Lei Xiong, who had always been unruly, nodded slightly, as an approval of Guo Shouzhi's suggestion.

"Good! This suggestion is good, I'll take note of it." Tang Dao nodded. "What do others think?"

"Sir, after this battle, our army's inventory and transportation of captured combat materials are extremely chaotic. I suggest that we must establish a baggage unit!" Zhuang Shisan calmed down and said.

"Yes!" Tang Dao nodded.

Perhaps with the opening of these two people, the officers stood up and expressed their opinions.

There were opinions on the reorganization of the newly established independent battalion, as well as summaries of the problems exposed in the battle.
