Under the threat that the Japanese army is about to invade the territory!
In the next half month, the various units of the Fourth Army Regiment quickly reorganized according to the organization issued by the regiment headquarters, just like an engine starting to run at full power.
All officers promoted to second lieutenant will report to the training team on the third day after arriving at their new post for a 30-day training.
In the training team, they have to learn how to transform from an excellent soldier to a low-level commander who must lead at least 50 troops. Those are two completely different models.
In the past, they only needed to lead an infantry squad of a dozen people, or even just be themselves.
For example, many new second lieutenant platoon leaders and political propagandists were promoted from precision shooters or machine gunners. In the past, on the battlefield, they only needed to accept the instructions of the squad leader or rely on their own strength to shoot threatening enemies.
But now that you are promoted to the commander of an infantry platoon, you cannot do it well just by relying on your own strength and bravery.
In the past, the Four Troops did not have this condition. As long as they were brave enough and were appreciated by their superiors, they could be promoted to commander. But now with the development of the new situation, the size of the troops is getting larger and larger, and bravery alone is no longer enough.
Ye Chenghuan originally suggested to Tang Dao that the ten instructors of the training team should be personally appointed by the three infantry battalion commanders and nine infantry company commanders. However, considering that these battalion and company commanders were already busy organizing teams at this time, they were already busy.
He was exhausted and asked them to give lectures. Indeed, even the donkeys of the production team were not used in this way. Therefore, after careful consideration, Tang Dao decided to have an instructor for each of the three infantry battalions, but there was no fixed number of personnel. Those with captain-level officers or above would be
Can.
This means that during the 30-day training period of each of the three major infantry battalions, from the battalion commander to the deputy battalion commander and then to the following four company commanders, they can take turns to give lectures to the teaching brigade, which can be regarded as reducing their burden.
.
In addition, the deputy chief officers of the four battalions directly under the regiment headquarters also work in shifts, and one of them will give a tactical lesson every day. The same is true for the five chief officers of the regiment headquarters. In this way, there are five part-time instructors, and the remaining five instructors, Tang
Dao left this task to Director Ye without any psychological burden.
"There are still many vacancies for company-level political instructors in each company of our Fourth Army Regiment. Please ask Brigadier Cheng if there are any who want to come to us to earn military pay." Tang Dao said to his partner with a smile.
Good guy! I'm sorry that Tang Tuanzuo has arranged so many company-level political instructors but no personnel. They are just waiting here!
This method of poaching people was really unparalleled, and Ye Chenghuan was really shocked at the time.
Because he knew that his former brigade commander, who was known throughout the army for his wise mind, could not refuse this temptation.
Ye Chenghuan gave up his position as the leader of the main regiment and came to the Four Lines Regiment. He came with a major mission, to turn the Four Lines Regiment into the Eightyth Army. However, in order to show respect for Tang Dao and not to arouse the Four Lines Regiment, he
The chief officers of the regiment were disgusted. When he came, in addition to 800 recruits, he didn't even bring an orderly.
Tang Dao, the commander of the regiment, did not say anything. The division and brigade leaders were already sure that he was loyal to the 80th Army. However, the other chief officers of the Fourth Army were either from the Central Army, the Sichuan Army or the Northeast Army. Their ideological changes required
A certain process, which is why Tang Dao personally asked Brigadier Cheng to be the director of the Political Training Office of the Four Elements Regiment.
However, no matter how important and prominent the position assigned to him by Tang Dao was, he could only work alone, and it would be impossible to complete the tasks assigned to him by the leaders.
Then, Tang Dao handed him the ladder again. It was at least more than the company-level instructors of 12 companies! This meant that the ideal propaganda influence of the Eightyth Army could be directly carried out on the grassroots officers and soldiers, without compromising the combat effectiveness of the Four Lines Regiment at all.
The two division chiefs of the 921st Division had spoken to him alone before he left. The Si Xing Regiment was the elite of the army and an indispensable force in the fight against Japan in eastern Shanxi. We must not let them accept the ideals of the Eighty Group Army.
Leading to its internal division, everything must be based on the premise that it still maintains sufficient combat effectiveness.
Undoubtedly, it would be difficult for anyone to refuse Tang Dao's proposal.
But there were more than ten captain-level officers! Even if Brigadier Cheng thought about it again, he would probably feel distressed at the corner of his mouth!
For such a big matter, it was best to have an interview. Ye Chenghuan decided to go back to the 683 Brigade Headquarters in person.
He still underestimated the lethality of Tang Tuanzuo's little hoe.
"The stupid Tang Dao is not a toy, but the really good one is not a toy. Being a company commander is like cabbage! There are more than a dozen with one mouth." As soon as Brigadier Cheng heard Ye Chenghuan's remarks, he slapped the table and cursed on the spot.
Tang Dao.
Indeed, those who served as captains in the 683 brigade before reorganization were at least battalion commanders, and even deputy regimental commanders, regimental commanders, and proper backbones. Tang Tuanzuo alone must have been a dozen or so.
, where they were digging corners with a small hoe, which was exactly like driving an excavator!
"Hmph! Xiaoye, you are also the one who is close to red, red and close to ink, who is black. Don't think that if you don't say anything, I won't know that this is what you want. I went to the Four Elements Group, and I didn't learn anything good. I learned from Tang Dao.
He's shameless but he's very sophisticated, and he's really not merciless at poaching old troops." After scolding Tang Dao, Brigadier Cheng snorted coldly, and even his former generals didn't let him go.
Seeing the former leader lose his temper, Ye Chenghuan was very embarrassed, but he could only bite the bullet and listen.
Only then did he realize that Tang Dao actually understood his old leader better than he did. Originally, he thought that he would not encounter disaster in the fish pond.
As a result, he didn’t run away either!
"Commander Cheng will definitely scold me. Hehe, I guess even you won't be able to run away when he's so angry. It doesn't matter. Let him scold me. I won't lose any meat if he scolds me. As long as he ends up giving me a favor." Tang Dao sent Ye Chenghuan to him.
When leaving, even this scene was described for him in advance.
"I can give you people, but Tang Dao has to keep his word. Let me do the math. How much does 12 captain-level political cadres, plus you, an army colonel, get in total for a year?" said Tang Dao with a dark face.
Brigadier Cheng Da, who was scolded by Ye Chenghuan, finally returned to reality.
"According to the current salary payment regulations of our regiment, the monthly salary of captain is 80 yuan, and the monthly salary of colonel is 240 yuan. If calculated based on 12 captain-level officers and me, a colonel-level officer, the total military salary for the whole year is 14,400 yuan!" Ye Chenghuan secretly said to himself
After some calculations, he gave a number to Brigadier Cheng Da.
"Damn it! Tang Dao, this rich man!" Brigadier Cheng Da's eyes widened.
According to this standard, in one year, the officers he supports can generate a month's military expenditure for the 683 brigade. If he supports 100 people, does that mean that the entire brigade's expenditure for a year is covered?
At that moment, the bitterness of being poached by a certain group with an excavator was gone, and there was even a little bit of happiness left.
"Okay! Then I have a message for Tang Dao. I will pay all the officers who have been supported by the 683 Brigade in the past. Except for leaving 10 yuan for me every month, the rest will be counted as my 683 Brigade. Let him pay it on time every month!" Cheng Da
The brigade commander slammed the table and said decisively: "This time you will take 8 captains, 10 lieutenants, and 12 second lieutenants."
Ye Chenghuan.
He really wanted to ask himself this old chief: Is the magic power of money so powerful?
But obviously, if he asks this question, he will be beaten. Because the 683 Brigade is really short of money now.
The Japanese 14th Division's baggage regiment had robbed a lot of supplies some time ago. At least in the short term, the 683 Brigade will not have to worry about food and ammunition. However, the 683 Brigade, which has a new infantry regiment, now has a total strength of more than 10,000 people.
Even if the military pay is low, plus other expenses, the monthly military expenditure will be nearly 20,000 oceans.
By 'renting' these people out, they can earn more than 2,000 yuan for the whole brigade. Brigadier Cheng Da's abacus is not very fast.
What's more, with this person's wisdom, he knows very well that even if he is not happy, the division headquarters will agree. At worst, he will just pick up the hoe to dig into the corners of the division headquarters. As for what those old comrades will scold him.
He, anyway, should not bear all the pain alone.
He would make up for the 30 officers who went out to support him, but what about military pay? Anyone who knows it knows that in this regard, Wang Xiaoqiang is still far behind him.
The arrival of 30 lieutenant-level officers made Tang Dao very happy. With the expansion of the Si Xing Regiment, the most lacking thing is this kind of grassroots officers with sufficient combat experience and command experience. The lieutenants of the 683 brigade are second lieutenants.
People who have served as company commanders or company instructors in the past are definitely powerful supplements to each company platoon.
Soon, 6 of the 8 captains went to the three major infantry battalions to serve as infantry company instructors, 2 went to the special agent battalion to serve as company-level instructors, half of the 10 lieutenants went to the supply camp, and the other half went to the teaching brigade to serve as instructors, 12
The two second lieutenants were basically divided among the three infantry battalions.
Although none of them hold the position of chief officer at the company and platoon level, the platoon political propagandist, as the second chief officer, will take over the command when the platoon leader is killed in action, which can be regarded as giving a very high position and authority.
Of course, the biggest role of these platoon-level political propagandists and company-level instructors at this point in time is not only to strengthen the combat effectiveness of company and platoon-level troops, but also to recruit troops.
When it comes to mass work, the Eightyth Army Group says it is second. Who dares to say it is first?
If coupled with the generous military pay of the Four Lines Regiment, it would be even more powerful.
On the fifth day after these officers joined the army, except for the five who served as instructors in the teaching brigade, the other 25 people led the work team deep into the villages of Dakouzidong Town, even as far away as dozens of kilometers away under the control of the 22nd Group Army.
Recruitment in villages and towns.
Of course, Tang Dao had already communicated with the 22nd Army Headquarters before that. Not only was the Si Xing Regiment currently under the direct control of the 22nd Army, but it was because of the arms and ammunition supplies sent by the Si Xing Regiment from thousands of miles away.
The 22nd Army will not be any hindrance.
In just ten days, the 25 work teams achieved great results and brought back nearly 3,000 new recruits.
Of course, these recruits are just a number now, and they must be adequately trained if they want to become combat effective.
Due to time constraints, Tang Dao simply established 25 recruit companies, with these company-level instructors and platoon-level political propagandists as officers, and then transferred their noncommissioned officers, deputy squad leaders or sergeants, and corporal veterans as recruit company squad leaders.
, starts the one-month recruit training.
Only recruits who receive excellent or good evaluations in training will be allowed to be directly added to each battalion and company. If they are only qualified, they will enter the supply camp to receive a new round of training until they are qualified to become a real recruit.
Up to infantry.
Although the Four Lines Regiment needs troops, it is important to value the elite rather than the large number. We would rather have many positions vacant than fill up the numbers with random tactics. This is the basic principle.
The Military Training Department has not been idle during this period. The Military Training Department, headed by Uncle Han, organized three basic technical and tactical trainings for all serving officers and soldiers of the army: stabbing, archery, and 400-meter obstacle course.
The entire army, whether it is combat troops or auxiliary troops, including artillery, must spend half a day organizing these three basic technical and tactical trainings every day.
The art of fighting and stabbing is trained according to the "Six Spears of Breaking the Bandit" compiled by Uncle Han based on the Bajiquan and Liuhe Spear and absorbing the essence of the Japanese army's art of fighting and stabbing. It includes six moves of blocking, holding, stabbing, collapsing, provoking and pushing.
Assassination and blocking are two important things.
As a master of stabbing skills, Lei Xiong once personally faced off with Uncle Han with a wooden spear. After ten moves, he was stabbed with three white spots on his body. This meant that on the real battlefield, he had already been stabbed.
There was a transparent hole, and there was no chance of holding on until ten strokes.
Of course, maybe according to Lei Xiong's bravery, when he was stabbed, he would choose a lose-lose style of fighting. The already old Uncle Han may not be able to escape unscathed, but this still proves that Uncle Han combined the development of boxing skills
His stabbing skills are very powerful.
Evaluation of it using the Tang Dao: This spear technique has some false and true aspects, and some strange and positive aspects; its advance is sharp, and its retreat is rapid; its situation is dangerous, and its power is powerful; it is as immobile as a mountain, and it moves like thunder!
At least, in terms of moves, it surpassed the Japanese army's stabbing technique that relied heavily on momentum and strength and had cumbersome moves.
Tang Dao ordered that all officers and soldiers in the regiment, from recruits to veterans, from lieutenants to him, the regimental commander, must practice this stabbing technique.
Unlike the Japanese army's display of bravery, in Tang Dao's view, this was the last resort for the Four Lines Regiment and the last resort to defeat the enemy's confidence.
Don’t think that bayonets are useless in the era of hot weapons. In the Southwest War in the next few decades, Chinese soldiers also used triangular bayonet in the tropical jungle to teach the southwest monkey soldiers a lesson so that they would never use it again for decades to come.
Dare to take one step across the border.
Let’s not talk about the distant one, let’s talk about the recent one, the future battle to defend Shipai. Thousands of Chinese officers and soldiers and thousands of Japanese invaders were on that rolling hill, after completing the largest hand-to-hand battle in World War II.
From then on, the Japanese invaders no longer had any determination to conquer the mountain city.
The blood spurting out when the bayonet penetrates the heart, and the heart-rending scream that lingers in the ears are far more contagious than being knocked down by a bullet from a hundred meters away.
Artillery and heavy machine guns may not be able to destroy the will of the enemy, so use spurs to let their warm blood spray in the air.
In addition to the unbeatable one-hour new stabbing training every day, there is also one-hour archery training. The Military Supplies Office of the Fourth Army provides more than 60,000 rounds of ammunition for this every day. The distressed Director Zhuang Da rarely summoned the chiefs in charge of training from each battalion.
After being furious, he actually begged the chief officials to give the Military Supplies Department a way to survive.
If this amount of training continues, in less than 20 days, the ammunition storage of the Fourth Line Regiment will drop to a number that will make him unable to sleep.
But the deputy battalion commanders in charge of training in each battalion are also helpless. Archery training is not like stabbing. You can just use wooden guns and rattan armor. There is almost no big cost. It requires real guns and live ammunition.
An infantryman fires 20 rounds of ammunition a day, a light machine gunner fires 50 rounds of ammunition a day, and a grenadier soldier fires 5 rounds of live ammunition a day. This is their bottom line.
"My artillery squad fires five rounds of live ammunition a day, which is the limit!" Pang Panghai replied bravely, which made Director Zhuang almost suffer from angina.
Do you really think I can make bullets and cannonballs by myself? If I could make them by myself, Director Zhuang would definitely be willing to work on the production line every day.
The current focus of the military factory is not on making bullets. They are also busy making nearly 8,000 military spurs and developing a new pistol designed by Tang Tuanzuo.
That doesn't mean that the design can be made just by following the drawings. It also requires molding the various parts, assembling them, and conducting thousands of live-fire tests. It cannot be completed overnight.
Fortunately, Tuanzuo Tang gave Director Zhuang, who was almost bald, a reassurance.
Tang Dao will take advantage of this free time to take a trip to Linfen. It is important to exchange that batch of gold into oceans, and more importantly, he must also turn these oceans into materials.
Military supplies such as bullets and artillery shells are in extremely short supply in other places, but these are not really a big problem for the old Shanxi man who once owned a military factory ranked among the top in Asia.
Otherwise, do you think it’s just a boast that they pulled out ten artillery regiments and four artillery regiments of Shiro Itagaki to work hard for half a month?

PS: Yesterday, I attended a wedding banquet for my colleague’s father. There were only a large table with few people wearing masks. Feng Yue couldn’t escape the sophisticated advice from the world. Feng Yue was a light drinker. After three glasses of red wine, she became drunk and fell unconscious.
, and fell asleep until night. The most terrible thing is that when I looked at the background today, I saw that the update on December 31st was blocked, and I don’t know why.
I also read the three chapters about water that everyone complained a lot about backstage. Fengyue’s original intention was not for water, but to let everyone know the future establishment of the Four Lines Regiment and the positions of each officer. This is the first time that it has been written so clearly! I won’t do it again in the future.
OK, let’s focus on the storyline!
This chapter has been completed!
