Chapter eight hundred and ninety-ninth army expansion
"Captain, do you have a way?" Zhou Ze asked with his eyes lit up.
Wang Ping did not hide it and directly replied: "Yes, everyone still remembers the battle we took down Linfen City! Not only did we seize a large amount of finance and materials, but we also captured more than 1,200 assembled expatriates. More importantly, because Linfen City is a supply station for the Japanese, equipped with a large number of cars and parked a large number of trains, we actually found a car repair center in the city, a machinery center dedicated to repairing cars."
"After mobilization, all these people were willing to join our Eighth Route Army, so I set up an auto repair shop in the base area that belongs to our Eighth Route Army!"
"This auto repair shop can not only repair more than 100 cars we seized from the Japanese, but also use the steel plates on the cars and military trains to weld the armored vehicles themselves!"
"Although performance is not as good as the original armored vehicles that seized the Japanese, there is almost no difference in protection and power!"
"I plan to use twenty cars to convert them into twenty earth-made armored vehicles and distribute them to your armored battalion!"
"The remaining cars have been established as a transportation camp directly under the regiment headquarters, with three transportation companies under their jurisdiction, each of which is equipped with thirty transportation cars!"
"This time we seized a lot of car fuel at Linfen Railway Station and Linfen City, and all of them were kept in our base area. If you save some use, it will be enough for a year to operate the transportation business!"
"In addition, the automobile transportation camp can not only transport supplies and ammunition, but also transport troops..."
"More than 90 transport vehicles, according to a car, fifteen soldiers and supporting equipment and ammunition, can transport a main battalion in just one time. Do you know what this means? Within the base area, our troops can only take two or three hours to deliver any place. Before there is a car, even if they march in a hurry, it will take at least one day and one night!"
Zhou Ze, who had been wanting to speak, finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Captain, how many armored vehicles have been modified by the auto repair office now!"
"One car has been modified in three days, and now four have been modified. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese can modify four car before occupying Linfen. At that time, the equipment of two armored companies will be available. And you, Zhou Ze, must ensure that the auto repair office will modify an armored vehicle, and the armored battalion will form the combat power of an armored vehicle!"
Zhou Ze lost his last bit of worry, his whole face was full of a strong smile, and he promised loudly: "Please rest assured, the Armored Battalion will not disappoint the regiment headquarters!"
Wang Ping nodded and continued, "Next, I will talk about the appointment just now..."
"Everyone certainly doesn't understand why the military sub-district appointed you four battalion commanders as the deputy chief of staff of the regiment headquarters and the deputy chief of staff of the military sub-district. Now I will tell you a reason!"
"Our new group will continue to expand!"
"Now the base area is getting bigger and bigger, and this little force will definitely not ensure the safety of the entire base area!"
"And even if the security of the base is ensured, the troops do not have any extra troops to welcome the attacks that the Japanese may launch at any time!"
In order to deal with this situation, the military region and headquarters leaders gave us the right to expand the troops by themselves, that is, the military sub-district."
"After the decision of the Military Sub-district and the regiment headquarters, all four garrison battalions under the Military Sub-district were reorganized into the main battalions, namely the New First Battalion, the New Second Battalion, the New Third Battalion, and the New Fourth Battalion!"
"The four new main battalions have a total of 600 people, and they have three main companies under their jurisdiction, one firepower company, one guard platoon, one communication squad, and one reconnaissance squad..."
"The main company is organized and scale like the main battalion you have in hand, with a total of 150 people!"
"The firepower company is under the jurisdiction of a heavy machine gun platoon, three heavy machine guns, one mortar platoon, three mortars, and one guard transport platoon!"
刚刚结束的这场大战,四个守备营营长的表现都很不错.我和政委讨论了一下,认为他们有能力更进一步,担任四个新编主力营营长!”
"So, all four new main battalion commanders were promoted from four garrison battalion commanders, and the same was true for instructors!"
"After the reorganization of the troops is completed, the new first battalion will be commanded by Xiong Changhe!"
"The new second battalion is commanded by Xiao Yunshan, the new third battalion is commanded by Yan Song, and the new fourth battalion is commanded by the Rong Army!"
"The reason why you are given a deputy chief of staff is to let you better command these troops as the deputy chief of staff! After all, after the reorganization of the troops, the levels of several new main battalion commanders are already the same as you, and they are all in the battalion level!"
"It's so troublesome? Why not just promote the regiment commander and you are the brigade commander. We all become regiment commanders, so there is no problem of command!" Xiong Changhe complained in a low voice.
Although the sound was not loud, Wang Ping could hear it clearly!
He was not angry, but smiled and replied: "There must be many people who think the same as Xiong Changhe!"
"To be honest, our new troop is not qualified to be expanded into a new brigade, but we cannot be expanded into a new brigade..."
"Don't forget that our New First Regiment is a regular force recognized by Chongqing. Without Chongqing's orders, I, Wang Ping, can only serve as the colonel commander of the New First Regiment!"
"And you can only serve as battalion commanders, at most you can go to the deputy regiment!"
"In order to maintain the stability of the united front, it's nothing to suffer any grievances? Of course, if someone pays special attention to the title of regiment commander, I can find the commander and transfer you into the new regiment. I can't guarantee anything else. With your military achievements in the new regiment, the position of a main regiment commander is bound to be indispensable!"
"I am willing to stay in the New Group..." Several battalion commanders stood up and answered, fearing that the regiment commander thought he had a different intention about the New Group.
As an officer, it is normal for humans to go to a higher position.
Regarding everyone's reaction, Wang Ping waved his hand and continued: "Of course, although everyone is in the mind of the battalion commander, I will give you the opportunity to be the commander!"
"A main battalion, plus a new main battalion, will be 1,800 people. Now if these troops are handed over to you, the number of troops you command will not be less than many regiment commanders of the Eighth Route Army!"
"As long as you seize this opportunity and learn the ability to be a regiment commander. As long as you have the opportunity, I believe you will definitely become regiment commanders, or even brigade commanders!"
"In addition, what I want to tell you is that the League headquarters has prepared far more than these surprises for everyone!"
"In addition to the four newly formed main battalions, the military region will also establish four garrison battalions, each battalion with 300 people, including three 100 infantry companies. Each infantry company is equipped with three light machine guns, which are specifically responsible for the garrison and bandit suppression in various places!"
"The four garrison battalions are also under the responsibility of you four battalion commanders. After all, you also serve as deputy chief of staff of the military sub-district!"
"The garrison battalion is formed by your four battalions, and the battalion commander and instructor are deputy battalion-level cadres! The soldiers are drawn from the garrison company and guerrillas according to their voluntary choices!"
"As for the vacancies of the four new main battalions, didn't the political commissar just now that there were many guerrillas in the military sub-district who took the initiative to join the main battalions? We cannot disappoint them and directly incorporated into the four new main battalions!"
"In this way, each of you battalion commanders will be responsible for a main battalion, a newly-edition main battalion, and a garrison battalion, with a total force of more than 2,100!"
"Using the hat of a battalion commander, command a regiment's troops!"
