Rise From Eight Hundred

"We will talk about how to divide the four infantry companies later. First, take a look at the organization list to see if there is anything wrong with it." Tang Dao could only change the topic.

It's not that he doesn't want to give Lei Xiong face, but that now that Lei Xiong has face, the other two future infantry battalion commanders may have ideas, why, are we stepmothers?

Lei Xiong could only accept the piece of paper handed over by Tang Dao helplessly. He knew that if he missed this time, he, the second person in the Four Elements Group, would have no chance to use the back door for the second time.

But obviously, for Tang Dao, the highest officer, being impartial and as fair as possible is what he needs to do most at the moment. At least half of the current Si Xing Regiment are from the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army.

If you want to fully integrate them, the most convenient and fastest way is fairness.

“Regiment headquarters establishment: There are four departments including staff, quartermaster, military law, and military medicine. The directors of the four departments are captains or majors and are responsible to the chief of staff;

Troops directly under the regiment headquarters: Special Agent Company, which has a communications platoon, medical team, and engineer platoon, with a strength of 120 people;

The guard company has 3 guard platoons and a fire support platoon, with a strength of 180 people; it mainly uses submachine guns, supplemented by shell guns and rifles!

The cavalry company has 4 cavalry platoons, a strength of 182 people, and is equipped with 79 lances, sabers, etc.!

The special operations squadron has 3 official special operations squads and 3 reserve squads, with a staff of 60 people and equipment of your choice!

The first artillery company has four artillery platoons, a strength of 200 people, and is equipped with four 75mm mountain guns and four 150mm mortars. Packhorse carts are allocated separately according to actual needs.

The Second Artillery Company has four artillery platoons, a strength of 200, and is equipped with 4 37mm combat anti-cannons and 6 twin-mounted and single-barreled machine guns. Packhorse carts are allocated separately according to actual needs.

The baggage company has four baggage platoons, with a staff of 200 and equipment of 120 pack horses and 40 carts.

Troops under its jurisdiction: three infantry battalions. Each battalion has three infantry companies and one machine gun company. Each company has an establishment of 160 people. The troops directly under the battalion are also equipped with one platoon each for communications, medical, and security. The personnel are subject to the actual establishment. .

The machine gun company is composed of two heavy machine gun platoons, each with three heavy machine gun squads, and each squad is temporarily equipped with one Maxim heavy machine gun; there are two mortar platoons, with each platoon having a mortar squad. Three, each squad is temporarily equipped with one Type 20 82mm mortar, a total of 6 heavy machine guns and 6 mortars.

The formal staff establishment is about 150 people, and in case of war, 50 civilians can be added.

The infantry company consists of three infantry platoons, and the infantry platoon has three infantry squads. Each squad has 1 sergeant squad leader, 1 sergeant deputy squad leader, 1 sergeant precision marksman, 2 corporal machine gunners, and corporal There are 2 grenade launchers and 8 privates, a total of 15 people. The weapons and equipment of each squad include 9 official rifles, 1 MP28 submachine gun, 1 twenty-shot shell gun, 1 Japanese grenade launcher, and Czech light machine gun. 1, 4 Southern Type 14 pistols. Including the personnel directly under the company headquarters, the company's official staff establishment is about 160 people. "Lei Xiong read softly the rough arrangement written on the Tang Dao paper.

Lei Xiong had a toothache from reading.

Judging from this organization table, Tang Dao has made the biggest change to the infantry company.

To re-establish the traditional machine gun company is to take back the heavy machine guns and mortars that were transferred from the four-row battalion to the infantry company. The infantry company will return to the light infantry company structure, and the heavy firepower will be deployed by the battalion headquarters.

This disadvantage is that the infantry company lacks heavy firepower and lacks the heavy firepower to suppress the Japanese army alone. However, this also increases the mobility of the infantry company. The infantry company no longer has to carry heavy machine guns and mortars, which is more beneficial. For mountain operations, the Japanese infantry squadrons were also equipped with light machine guns and grenade launchers but no heavy machine guns for this reason.

But this does not mean that the infantry company will not have heavy weapons. The machine gun company directly under the command of the battalion headquarters has 6 heavy machine gun squads, 6 mortar squads, and 12 heavy firepower squads. The organization is flexible and can be completely customized according to the battlefield. The situation is mobilized under the command of the battalion headquarters, and the infantry company can also be temporarily mobilized when performing combat missions of attacking fortresses or difficult defenses.

Innovation has its benefits, and tradition has its advantages. It must be determined based on the actual situation.

Now it is no longer the independent battalion with thousands of men, all combat tasks have to be completed by four infantry companies, but the infantry battalion is the main force, and the heavy firepower is deployed by the battalion headquarters. This is actually the most reasonable. Lei Xiong fully agreed with Tang Dao's idea.

But what made Lei Xiong's teeth ache the more he read, was that Tang Dao's heart was not as big as usual.

Based on his experience in the army for so long, he couldn't see how big the army would be if it was organized according to Tang Dao's organization chart?

What kind of standard regiment organization is there? If the three infantry battalions under its jurisdiction are turned into infantry regiments, will this cliff be an infantry brigade? And it is a large infantry brigade that is almost comparable to an infantry division.

Gu Chu

Tang Dao's regimental headquarters alone is more complete than many infantry brigades.

What kind of 75-caliber mountain cannon and 150-caliber heavy mortar does an average infantry brigade have? That thing can only be found at the infantry division level, let alone an infantry regiment.

"Sir, your idea is good, but the establishment of our regiment is 2,500 people! Not to mention other things, the three infantry battalions alone will take up nearly 2,000 people, so there is still extra establishment. There are so many troops directly under the regiment headquarters!" Lei Xiong said with a grimace.

Although it is not a veto, Lei Xiong's meaning is also very direct. The number of staff is the biggest flaw.

The Ministry of Military Affairs gave you 2,500 people, but it doesn't mean that if you exceed the number, they can do anything to you. If you don't report it, who will know?

But the hundreds of people who exceed the number will not be registered in the military department. The military funds issued by the military department are only based on 2,500 people. The annual gap in military pay alone is tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention other military expenses.

Given the current financial situation of the independent battalion, no matter how good the idea is, we can't all starve together!

To put it bluntly, it's money!

The army is the biggest gold-eating beast in the world. Once the troops move, there will be countless gold and silver to fill the big hole.

"Haha, just tell me how my organization looks. You don't have to worry about the money." Tang Dao didn't care at all.

"Of course that's good. As long as you deploy the personnel and equipment in place according to this staffing, my infantry battalion can fight against a Japanese infantry battalion. Let alone our entire regiment, we can also fight against an infantry regiment, even if we don't play any ambush with the Japanese devils!" Lei Xiong answered very confidently.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your words, brother Lei." Tang Dao grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth. "Then we basically have it. Don't worry too much about money. The road is made by people. Walk our way and leave the Japanese with no way to go!"

Here it comes again, Lei Xiong couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat.

"Also, aren't you worried about the positions of your brothers? If the organization of our regiment is a little bigger, won't there be more positions?" Tang Dao smiled. "When the time comes, the brothers who can fight will go to the front-line troops, and those who are slightly lacking in this aspect will go to the auxiliary troops such as the baggage, engineering, and communications, which will help fight the Japanese!"

"That's fine, that's fine, that's it." Lei Xiong suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

The independent battalion now has only about 2,100 personnel, including the seriously injured soldiers who have not yet recovered. Because of the change from the battalion to the regiment, there are as many as 19 company-level troops, which is 4 more than the 15 company-level troops after the absorption of the revenge regiment.

What does this mean?

It means that there are 4 more company-level, 4 deputy company-level, 12 platoon-level, and 36 squad leader positions. This is not to mention the vacancies in the key departments of the staff, quartermaster, military doctor, military law, political training department, and three battalion headquarters under the General Staff. If all these are counted, it may be difficult to place 100 people, but there is no problem with 70 or 80 people.

Up to now, there are less than 40 old brothers in the Fourth Camp, and excellent guys like Li Jiujin, Laohei, Yang Xiaoshan, Gu Xishui, and Niu Er have been promoted a long time ago, so there is no need to worry about their positions. There are only about ten people who are still at the non-commissioned officer level. So many vacancies can be settled for them.

Finally, he reached a complete agreement with Lei Xiong. Looking at Lei Xiong's back as he left, Tang Dao rubbed his eyebrows and finally dealt with this not-so-tough but very important matter.

As his position became higher and higher, and there were more and more soldiers under his command, Tang Dao finally realized the difficulty of being a captain back then. The larger the team, the more thoughts he had. If he wanted to pull everyone together, he couldn't rely too much on his own ideas. Although they were all subordinates, he had to communicate more. All consensus was obtained through constant communication and mutual compromise.

Of course, any compromise must have a premise---fighting the Japanese army to the end, this is Tang Dao's bottom line.

Just like he could even tolerate the old monkey gathering to open the market in public, in the past, those with such bad habits would have been kicked out of the army long ago.

But in this era, Tang Dao must learn to accept their various shortcomings.

Because they already lived in the darkest era of China, with an illiteracy rate of up to 90%, and many people didn't even know what China was!

However, Tang Dao still believed that they would become the best soldiers of this era, even if they were still illiterate in the end.

This can be regarded as another progress of Tang Dao in this time and space!
