Chapter 132 Detailed establishment of the 48th Independent Brigade
"Congratulations to the host for overfulfilling the mission. The system rewards the host for intermediate martial arts skills and intermediate infantry command skills."
"The system rewards the host with four hundred rounds of Liao-made Type 14 field artillery shells and six hundred rounds of Yue-type 97 Type 90MM mortar shells."
"The system rewards the host with 200 rounds of Yue-type 97 81MM mortar shells and 30,000 rounds of Yue-type 92 heavy machine gun bullets."
"Congratulations to the host. After system evaluation, the first artillery company, the second artillery company, and the guard company have all entered the elite level."
"The system rewards all the officers and soldiers of the host's cavalry company for their potential, and rewards the host's special forces for their potential!"
Not long after, the mechanical sound of the system appeared directly in Chen Ziyun's mind.
After Chen Ziyun checked the relevant rewards in detail, he was slightly dissatisfied.
After all, the system rewarded 1,200 rounds of artillery shells and 30,000 rounds of ammunition. That amount of ammunition was completely insufficient to support a large-scale battle.
Especially those shells for the Bofors 75MM mountain cannon were unusable, which gave Chen Ziyun a headache.
The six Jin orogenic cannon shells can be replenished by Yan Laoxi, but it is difficult to replenish the Bofors orogenic cannon shells.
The most important point is that the quality of Jin-made artillery shells is unavoidable. If you use the Bofors Mountain Cannon, it may cause damage to the wrong type of mountain cannon.
After the First World War in the Yangcun area, only a hundred rounds of shells were left for the six Bofors guns, many of which contained fifty rounds of armor-piercing shells.
If you can't replenish it through the system in time, I'm afraid it won't be long before the six Bofors Mountain Cannons become mere decorations.
Of course, Chen Ziyun has to say whether the system's replenishment of moon-type mortar shells is timely. The current mortar shells are indeed not what the 358th Regiment urgently needs.
"Ding dong, regular mission rewards have been sent."
"In view of the fact that the host has overfulfilled its mission, the entire Lunar Annihilation Army has been independently formed into the fourth brigade and the Imperial Association Army's eighth mixed brigade."
"The system will give an additional reward. The host will gain the power of the Eye of Wisdom and Recognition Pearl once, and can identify thirty potential officers and soldiers."
"Reward the host with a piece of information and a detailed shooting parameter list of two Liao-made Type 14 field guns."
"Reward the host Da Yang with five thousand yuan, five large yellow croakers, and ten small yellow croakers!"
Chen Ziyun was ready to communicate with the system, but soon the system sound sounded again.
The previous award was obtained by Chen Ziyun for killing the Major General Brigade Commander Katayama Shoutaro.
The reward that follows is the reward for annihilating the independent fourth brigade.
These two awards are quite a lot, especially the detailed shooting parameters of the two Liao-made field guns, which are what Chen Ziyun has dreamed of.
After the independent mixed fourth brigade of the Moon Army was completely annihilated, the 358th Regiment captured a lot of money while cleaning the battlefield.
Although the little Japanese troops struggled to the death when they were surrounded and annihilated, and they tried their best to destroy weapons and equipment before they died.
However, two Liao-made 77MM field guns, as well as some mortars, could not be the trophies of the 358th regiment.
The only thing that was relatively controversial was that two of the eight field guns with a range of more than 10,000 meters were captured.
The remaining parts were directly blown up by the Japs, and were irreparable.
However, some of the other Type 94 mountain guns and Type 38 field guns can be repaired.
Whether those artillery pieces have been transported to the arsenal, we need to ask whether they can continue to be used after repair.
Chen Ziyun continued to communicate with the system, and soon the system fully invested the relevant ammunition and other rewards in Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town.
"Captain Zhang, what I said makes sense. I've arranged for some soldiers to be on guard, while other soldiers are doing their best to search in Qingshan Town and Wanjia Town."
"Tell the brothers to be careful, but if Yangcun was violently attacked by the Yue puppet army, there may be some omissions in the New Regiment and other units."
"Search carefully, and maybe you will find something. After all, the Yue puppet army has an army of ten thousand people, and there will definitely be indispensable material reserves there."
Looking at the cavalry company commander Zhang Wu in front of him, Chen Ziyun directly gave the order.
"No, camp seat." Zhang Wu immediately agreed to come east.
The cavalry company began to take action, and they launched operations towards Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town respectively.
When all the cavalry arrived outside the town, East Horse immediately launched a search.
"Platoon commander, there is a Didong bunker there with moon-type artillery shells inside."
"Company commander, there were also discoveries in Qingshan Town. They found a lot of ocean gold bars, and those things were buried in the ground."
"Yingzuo, did we make a fortune that time? Not only did we find some ocean gold bars, we also found a lot of ammunition."
An hour later, Zhang Wu came to Chen Ziyun with excitement and reported.
The soldiers of the cavalry company have begun to transport the trophies they discovered one after another.
Chen Ziyun carefully counted and confirmed that all the rewards issued by the system had been found. He nodded with satisfaction.
"Isn't it strange? People say that the Eighth Route Army will not even let go of the little Japs' clothes when cleaning the battlefield."
"Why are there so many trophies in Liudong now? Let me see, there are so many cannonballs and there are many ocean gold bars."
"I beg those Eighth Route Army members to find out. They will regret it to death."
Looking at the so-called trophies in front of him, Chen Ziyun asked pretending to be confused.
"Battle base, when the Eighth Route Army destroyed the Yue Army's transport team, the main force of the Yue and Puppet Army violently attacked Yangcun, and almost everyone tried to break through the position."
"I guess they were anxious to go back for support, so they didn't conduct a detailed search. Are those things found in Didong?"
"Then the Moon Army must have buried it in advance. If the camp had more attentiveness, they wouldn't have discovered so many trophies."
Zhang Wu and other officers stood in front of Chen Ziyun and began to analyze.
Chen Ziyun nodded and didn't say anything more. This would naturally dispel everyone's doubts.
Otherwise, a lot of ammunition and gold bars would appear out of thin air, and Chen Ziyun would have no way to explain it.
And even stupid people will inevitably have doubts when faced with things that appear out of thin air.
"Zhang Wu, take out a company of 2,000 ocean cavalry and divide them, then we don't deserve it."
"He will keep part of the leftovers and use it to provide compensation for brothers who sacrifice themselves in the future."
"We also know that the compensation is not much, so any amount can be considered as our sincerity."
"All the ammunition has been handed over to the regiment headquarters, and he won't keep the gold bars secretly. He has to find a way to replenish the artillery shells."
Chen Ziyun directly gave the order and said, counting the gold bars issued by the system, Chen Ziyun is quite wealthy.
Chen Ziyun didn't intend to keep those gold bars in Bu Nao. He planned to let Chief of Staff Fang do meritorious service and gain connections.
The six Bofors Mountain Cannons need to be replenished as much as possible, and some related medicines also need to be purchased.
In that battle, many seriously injured soldiers had to wait to die because they did not have enough medicine.
Chen Ziyun doesn't want to see something like that happen again, even if his power is limited, he still wants to save one more person!
After all, those people are not heroes who fight against Japanese invaders. Chen Ziyun will do everything he can to save their lives.
"For the camp, their cavalry company can take only one thousand oceans. You can keep the remaining one thousand."
"The brothers all see what you do. Are you a rare and good commander?"
"It would be an honor for my brothers to be under your command!"
Zhang Wu and other officers discussed for a while whether they should stay a thousand oceans east.
And the thousand oceans left to the east were left to Chen Ziyun.
Everyone in the artillery camp knew that Chen Ziyun used his own money to distribute it to the families of his fallen brothers.
That matter had already spread, so the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
Chen Ziyun looked at Zhang Wu and others. He didn't show any pretense and just accepted Dong.
That morning, Chen Ziyun and his cavalry company stayed overnight in Wanjia Town.
It wasn't until early the next day that he led the cavalry company back to the 358th Regiment's base.
During the pick-up time, the 358th Regiment was resting and recuperating.
It wasn't until May or January that Chu Qingbo, Chief of Staff of the General Staff Department, came to the 358th Regiment in person.
Did Chu Qingbo bring the letter of appointment and relevant orders from the commander's department? At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Yunfei gathered with the officers at the regiment headquarters.
"The Chief's Department reported and with the approval of the committee, the 358th Regiment expanded to the 48th Independent Brigade."
"Chu Yunfei, the former regimental commander at the school, serves as the major general commander of the 48th Independent Brigade."
"Fang Ligong, the former chief of staff of the Lieutenant Colonel Regiment, serves as the director of the Staff Office of the Lieutenant Colonel of the 48th Independent Brigade."
"Chen Ziyun, formerly a lieutenant colonel, served as the infantry artillery commander of the 48th Independent Brigade."
"The 48th Independent Brigade has jurisdiction over the 358th Regiment in the east, and is directly under the 5th Independent Infantry Battalion, the 6th Independent Infantry Battalion, the 7th Independent Infantry Battalion, and the Artillery Battalion!"
"Major General Chu Yunfei, the brigade commander, also serves as the commander of the 358th Regiment."
"Qian Bojun, the former lieutenant colonel infantry commander of the 358th Regiment, unified command of three independent infantry battalions!"
"Chen Ziyun, the infantry artillery commander of the 48th Independent Brigade, can command the infantry and artillery operations of the entire brigade under the command of the brigade commander Chu Yunfei!"
As the officers arrived at the regiment headquarters, Chu Qingbo read out the relevant orders in public.
Yan Laoxi and the principal struggled for a period of time, but neither of them made concessions.
Therefore, the overall strength of the 48th Independent Brigade has not changed much. The only change is whether those troops will receive regular designations.
From now on, you can go to the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters and ask the principal for all combat supplies.
After Chu Qingbo finished reading, he specially talked with Chu Yunfei and other officers.
At noon, Chu Qingbo had lunch and was escorted directly back to the chief's headquarters by the guards.
After seeing off Chu Qingbo and his party, Chu Yunfei held a combat meeting at the newly established brigade headquarters.
Yan Laoxi and the principal now have the idea of winning over Chu Yunfei, so they give him greater authority.
Chu Yunfei can make his own decision on the appointment of officers in each battalion and then report on it.
Of course, Qian Bojun was in charge of three independent infantry battalions in the name of infantry commander, but his infantry commander actually held the position of regimental commander.
This was naturally not Yan Laoxi's arrangement. The significance of this move was that Qian Bojun could be used to check and balance Chu Yunfei.
In the future, if Chu Yunfei really took away his troops and defected to the Central Army, then Yan Laoxi could also leave Qian Bojun and others in the East.
"Wu Ziqiang, transferred to the position of commander of the fifth independent infantry battalion."
"Shi Yujian, transferred to the position of commander of the 6th Independent Infantry Battalion."
"Zhang Fujun, transferred to the position of commander of the 7th Independent Infantry Battalion."
"Bojun, I also know that there are difficulties in being here."
"As an infantry commander, I have unified command over three independent infantry battalions. Isn't that equivalent to a regimental commander?"
"I just hope that if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely recommend it to the commander-in-chief, Commander Yan, to expand the regiment from three independent infantry battalions, and I will serve as the regiment commander."
Chu Yunfei looked at Qian Bojun and said with a smile on his face.
Yan Laoxi must have known about the internal conflicts of the 358th Regiment, so he made such an arrangement deliberately.
Chu Yunfei took the opportunity to remove Qian Bojun from his concurrent post as battalion commander and let him concentrate on being the infantry commander.
Among the three battalions commanded by Qian Bojun, two battalion commanders were not Chu Yunfei's men.
In this way, Qian Bojun's desire to control those three independent infantry battalions was completely beyond Hongyue's dreams.
At the same time, for the four infantry battalions in the east of the 358th Regiment, did Chu Yunfei specifically promote one of his own to serve as battalion commander?
In this way, whether the 358th Regiment can be completely controlled depends on Chu Yunfei's presence.
As for the artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, in order to identify Chen Ziyun as the infantry commander, Chen Ziyun no longer serves as the battalion commander.
After all, Brigadier Chu Yunfei can also serve as regimental commander, but Chen Ziyun, the infantry and artillery commander at the brigade headquarters, can not command the infantry and artillery operations of the entire brigade in a unified manner.
Isn't that equivalent to the main commanding officer at the brigade headquarters? If he were to concurrently serve as the battalion commander, it would inevitably be a bit of a surrender.
The position of commander of the artillery battalion fell to Liang Guoping.
But whether the artillery battalion establishment had been adjusted at this time.
The artillery battalion currently has jurisdiction over the first mountain artillery company, field artillery platoon, and observation team.
The mountain cannon battery is located in Liyang, and there are six Bofors mountain cannons in the east.
The field artillery platoon has two Liao-made 77MM field guns, and the observation team's establishment has not been adjusted.
Sun Xiong commanded six Jin orogenic guns, which were incorporated into the troops directly under the 358th Regiment.
The six Jin orogenic guns were assigned to the regiment-level support artillery establishment.
At the same time, Chu Yu's guard company and Zhang Wu's cavalry company were also transferred from outside the artillery battalion.
Those two companies, the baggage company, and the communications company were directly under the command of the brigade headquarters.
"The artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters and the four companies directly under it are all under the command of infantry commander Chen Ziyun."
After Chu Yunfei appointed the commanders of each battalion, he placed the brigade artillery and other units under Chen Ziyun's direct command.
Of course, if Chen Ziyun did not command those troops, then his role as infantry and artillery commander would be just as fictitious.
Sun Xiongshan Artillery Battery was directly under the 358th Regiment, which somewhat weakened Chen Ziyun's command scale.
After all, his infantry and artillery commander needs orders from Chu Yunfei before he can command the entire brigade of infantry and artillery in combat.
That point made Chen Ziyun very unhappy. After all, he had always planned to train his own team to protect himself.
Of course, Chen Ziyun was wrong about everything in his eyes. Naturally, Chen Ziyun could not directly contradict him, otherwise he would directly do the wrong thing by asking for peace with Chu Yunfei.
What's more, although Sun Xiongshan's artillery battery is outside the establishment of the 358th regiment, Chen Ziyun is not sure that he can mobilize them at any time.
After the relevant officers of the 48th Independent Brigade were appointed, Chu Yunfei began to ask Chen Ziyun to read out the establishment status of each battalion.
There are seven infantry battalions in the entire brigade, adopting the same organization.
Each battalion has four infantry companies in the east, each company is equipped with nine light machine guns, three grenade launchers, nine submachine guns, and more than 100 rifles.
At the same time, each battalion is directly under a machine gun company, equipped with four heavy machine guns and two Type 97 90MM mortars.
Each battalion, including non-combatants, has a total strength of about 800 people.
The 358th Regiment has four infantry battalions and one mountain artillery company, with a total strength of 3,300 people.
There are three independent infantry battalions commanded by Qian Bojun, with a total strength of 2,400 people.
The total strength of the artillery battalion, cavalry company, communications company, guard company, and baggage company directly under the brigade headquarters is no more than 1,000 people.
Counting the servicemen, cooks, medical soldiers and other personnel at the brigade headquarters, the strength of the entire brigade is 6,800!
It is no exaggeration to say that many miscellaneous armies may not have such a large number of troops in one division.
