Chapter 177 Surprise from the Division

Early the next morning, Chen Zhengyu took the 7th Company to the headquarters to receive pensions and war zone commendation telegram weapons and ammunition.

Zhou Cheng went around the companies as usual to check their training progress, especially the guard company and spy company that had just been expanded and formed.

After the spy stayed for less than half an hour, Zhou Cheng's brows were twisted into the big river.

After all, Chang Yuanqiao was a machine gunner and had never really commanded the infantry. It was okay to be the commander of the heavy machine gun company, but it was obviously a bit short of the time to be the commander of the infantry company.

In addition, the spy company has not yet been assigned to the deputy company commander who is equivalent to the instructor, and several platoon leaders are also selected from the three main companies. They are temporarily acting platoon leaders, and their abilities are uneven. The training of the entire spy company is a bit inappropriate and has no rules.

Chen Zhengyu stood beside him, looking at the nearly 100 subordinates on the training ground, and his brows frowned.

Turning his head to look at Zhou Cheng, he found that he was frowning, and Chen Zhengyu wanted to say something: "One soldier will be a nest!"

But he swallowed it back when he said that. Chang Yuanqiao was the company commander appointed by the battalion commander himself. He only made a few days to put forward his opinions. Will the battalion commander be dissatisfied with the battalion commander?

He was born into a prisoner soldier, not an old Red Army soldier like Deputy Battalion Commander Tang. He dared to fight with the battalion commander to the end when he had different opinions.

Zhou Cheng felt Chen Zhengyu's gaze, and saw him frowning, looking at him with a frown, and he looked at the chaotic situation on the training ground. He immediately showed a thoughtful expression and asked directly: "Apart from Company Commander Chang, do we have any other person in our third battalion who has the ability to serve as the company commander of the spy company!"

Chen Zhengyu was shocked by this question. Seeing the battalion commander looking at him with a serious face, he immediately replied: "Battery Commander, you also think that Company Commander Chang is not suitable to be a company commander of the spy company!"

"It's almost time to get angry!" Zhou Cheng did not deny it.

"When I decided to form a spy company, I could think of the company commander Chang Yuanqiao, so I could only let him go."

"There are mountains and mountains, this sentence is correct."

"Changyuanqiao can be a good company commander of the firepower company, but it may not be a good company commander of the main company."

"After reading the training just now, I found that he didn't seem to understand anything else except some basic training."

"But it's not his fault. When he was the commander of the firepower company, the soldiers of the firepower company only needed to undergo basic training. He had never been exposed to other trainings at all. It was a bit of a rush to let him be the commander of the spy company."

Chen Zhengyu's mind was running rapidly. After passing all the deputy company commanders of the battalion, he shook his head helplessly: "Battery Commander, our third battalion has too little foundation. No deputy company commander is competent for the position of company commander of the spy company."

"If it really doesn't work, I'll forget it. As the deputy battalion commander, he also serves as the company commander of the spy company!"

Zhou Cheng denied without hesitation: "No, now you have to not only be busy with the cavalry company's affairs, but also cooperate with Lao Tang to put up the new recruit company's arrogance and coordinate the training of the entire battalion. If you give the spy company affairs to you, you will have no time to go to bed at night!"

"Wait a little longer, our cavalry company commander should be coming soon."

"When you don't care about the cavalry company, you will go to the spy company. I will be guarding the spy company these two days!"

When Cao Cao was said to have arrived, Tang Yufeng suddenly ran towards them and confirmed that there were no outsiders beside him, he reported excitedly: "Battalion Commander, Staff Zheng has returned, and he has brought more than a dozen cadres, including cavalry and infantry. Now the problem of our third battalion lacking cadres can be solved!"

General Zheng was very satisfied with Zhou Chengru, who had to go from the division headquarters to five cavalry cadres. Unexpectedly, he brought him more than a dozen people directly.

After being excited, he immediately asked: "Where are they? I'll go there now..."

In a secret conference room of the Third Battalion Department, more than a dozen cadres gathered in two waves.

Five cavalry cadres gathered together to discuss something, looking worried and not in a good mood.

There were more than a dozen other people, all of them were infantry. Some looked sad, some looked expectant, and some were confused and had different expressions.

The company commander led the team among the five cavalrymen.

Originally, Zhou Cheng only had a deputy company commander or even a platoon leader.

After hearing from Staff Zheng that Zhou Cheng was holding seventy or eighty Eastern war horses in his hand, the division commander immediately replaced the deputy company commander with the company commander.

Although the cavalry unit directly under the division headquarters has a battalion, after several splits, there were only more than 100 cavalry left in the battalion, and each cavalry company was assigned less than 50 people.

More importantly, the quality of the war horses of the cavalry battalion was too poor. The war horses they equipped were either Mongolian horses or Ningxia horses. In front of the Oriental war horses equipped by the Japanese, they were too different and they were incomparable at all.

Instead of letting a deputy company commander go to the Third Battalion to command a veritable cavalry company, it is better to leave the deputy company commander in the division headquarters and transfer the original company commander to the Third Battalion.

Compared with the deputy company commander, the company commander is definitely more capable.

If he asked him to go to the third battalion, the cavalry company he brought out must be better than the deputy company commander.

After the deputy company commander became the company commander, the division commander waved his hand and replaced the deputy instructor and deputy platoon leader with all the instructors and platoon leaders.

Directly transfer all platoon-level cadres of a cavalry company to the Third Battalion.

The cadres know the basics and the most important thing, and even the step of running-in is avoided. Joining the army can start training, saving Zhou Cheng a lot of time.

But for the five cavalry cadres, they were not optimistic about this transfer at all.

The Eighth Route Army has poor equipment and poor conditions. Ordinary regiment-level troops cannot afford to support a cavalry, let alone a battalion.

In their eyes, the division commander transferred them from the cavalry battalion and was almost as exiled.

Maybe he will become an infantryman in the future and will never have the chance to return to the cavalry unit.

But the military order cannot be violated. Facing the division headquarters' order, no matter how reluctant I feel, I can only leave the war horse that has developed feelings for me, leave the equipment, and come to the third battalion to report without any hand.

All of them were with this idea, and faced with the unfamiliar environment of the Third Camp, they were all full of concern about their future!

"Bang..."

The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, Zhou Cheng took the lead, Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu followed closely and walked in quickly.

Staff Zheng, who was resting on the stool, quickly stood up: "Hello, Battalion Commander Zhou!"

"Fortunately, I am happy to be disgraced. In addition to bringing back five cavalry cadres to the Third Battalion, I also made a decision without authorization and asked the division headquarters for twelve infantry cadres."

"There are deputy company commanders, deputy instructors, platoon leaders, and deputy platoon leaders, all of whom are from the old Red Army."

"The five cadres in the cavalry company are the most powerful. I originally only had the deputy company commander and the deputy platoon commander. As a result, the division commander drew all the platoon-level cadres in a cavalry company."

After saying that, he pointed to the five cavalry cadres next to him and introduced: "This is Tao Yongsheng, the company commander of the First Company of the Cavalry Battalion of the Division. Next to him is the instructor, and behind him are the three cavalry platoon leaders. They have been working together for more than half a year and can be trained by joining the army!"

Looking at the battalion commander who was a little scary in front of him, Tao Yongsheng was confused for a while before he reacted: "Report to the battalion commander, Tao Yongsheng was ordered to come and report!"

Zhou Cheng's excitement was no longer able to be described in words, so he quickly replied: "It's great, I finally look forward to you!"

"Staff General Zheng, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Third Battalion. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know how to solve the problem of lack of cadres in the army."

"I will introduce to me other cadres quickly. I will ask Lao Tang to arrange accommodation for them, rest for one night, and get out of the army tomorrow!"

After listening to the introduction of Staff Zheng, not only Zhou Cheng was very happy, but Chen Zhengyu behind him was also very happy.

Because there are at least two cadres brought by General Zheng to serve as company commanders, and with them joining, the newly formed guard company, spy company, baggage company, and new recruit company will no longer be short of cadres.

After arranging them, Zhou Cheng walked directly to Tao Yongsheng.

"Company Commander Tao, take your people with me."

"You are here in the system and don't need to be broken up and re-appointed. I will take you to the cavalry company now!"

"We have a cavalry company?" Tao Yongsheng was puzzled and asked a very idiotic question.

Zhou Cheng smiled and replied: "Of course there is a cavalry company. If there are no cavalry, what do I want you to come here? Would you let you change careers and become infantry? This is a waste of talent, I may be so stupid!"

Tao Yongsheng was embarrassed and replied with a look of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, battalion commander, we really think along the way that we will change careers and become infantry after coming to the Third Battalion!"

"I didn't expect that a battalion-level unit of the Third Battalion actually had a cavalry company!"

The worries on the faces of several other cavalry cadres were swept away, and they all became expectant, staring at Zhou Cheng with their eyes shining.

Zhou Cheng understood their thoughts very well and replied with a smile: "The cavalry company's base is not far from here. I promise that you will not be disappointed after seeing the equipment of the cavalry company..."

Eighty-five Eastern war horses gathered together, and dozens of cavalry soldiers rode on horseback and practiced equestrianism in a very unfamiliar way.

Tao Yongsheng walked into the garrison and his eyes began to shine. He strode to a war horse. After carefully examining it, he was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground: "Oriental war horse, this is a war horse equipped by the Japanese cavalry!"

"Battery Commander, are the war horses in the garrison seized from the Japanese?"

Zhou Cheng nodded proudly: "There were originally ninety-five war horses, but a few days ago, ten were sent to the division headquarters. Now there are eighty-five left, but the cavalry equipment has more than one hundred sets."

"Of course, these eighty-five war horses are not all given to the cavalry companies. Twenty of them will be assigned to each company and battalion for communications and scouts. You can only leave sixty-five."

"Before this, in addition to training cavalry companies, you also need to help the battalion and each company train the communications soldiers, ensuring that each company has two communications soldiers who can ride horses. All the communications squads of the battalion department can ride horses, and all the reconnaissance and platoons can ride horses!"

Tao Yongsheng was very heartbroken when he was dispersed twenty war horses at once, but when he thought that the cavalry company could still have 65 war horses left, nearly twenty more war horses than his original cavalry battalion's second company, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and he quickly replied: "Please rest assured that battalion commander, at most ten days, I can let all the correspondents and scouts learn to ride horses!"

"Very good!" Zhou Cheng saw his deep confidence on Tao Yongsheng's face, and the smile on his face became stronger.

"We must train them well. In addition to the most basic equestrian skills, we will teach them the cavalry to charge if we have time."

"Although the twenty horses separated do not belong to the cavalry company, if they encounter a battle, they can replenish the cavalry company to participate in the war at any time."

Tao Yongsheng understood that the battalion commander asked himself to train the communications soldiers and scouts as cavalrymen, and train them into cavalrymen who were not in the cavalry company.

Excited, he replied loudly: "Please rest assured that the cavalry company will ensure that the mission is completed!"
Chapter completed!
