Chapter 50 Reorganization of the artillery platoon
As a native of Wangjiacun, Wang Chengzhu certainly knows the water, soil and climate near Wangjiacun, and almost nothing he grows can produce yields.
Otherwise, the villagers in Wangjia Village would not focus on hunting.
However, that only targets ordinary seeds, and the super seeds produced by the system are not included in this list.
At that moment, Wang Chengzhu smiled and said: "Sister Cuihua, of course I understand the soil, water and climate conditions here.
However, the sweet potato seeds in my hand are different. They are the latest varieties introduced from abroad. Not only do they have a high germination rate, their maturity cycle is much shorter than that of local sweet potatoes. They are cold and frost resistant and can be planted all year round.
Well, you can harvest two or even three crops a year.
So you just need to be responsible for clearing land and planting, and I guarantee that the yield of sweet potatoes you grow will be very high."
Wang Chengzhu could not expose the secrets of the system, so he could only use the excuse of "importing from abroad" to persuade Wang Cuihua.
During the Anti-Japanese War, China's industrial base was very weak. It was unable to produce many things on its own and had to rely on imports.
For example, matches are called matches because they are imported from abroad.
In short, everything imported from abroad will have the word "foreign" in front of it. This leads Chinese people to subconsciously believe that things imported from abroad are higher-end.
This was not a case of admiration for foreigners, but that China at that time was simply too weak.
Sure enough, when Wang Chengzhu said that the sweet potato seeds were imported from abroad, Wang Cuihua was instantly full of confidence: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"
In addition to backward weapons and equipment, there is another more important reason for the poor combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, which is the lack of food.
The soldiers did not have enough to eat, and their combat effectiveness was naturally greatly reduced.
Now that we have super sweet potato seeds, the army's food problem has been solved.
As for Wanjia Town and his party, Wang Chengzhu seized so many weapons and equipment.
With food and weapons, expanding the army will not be a problem.
After incorporating the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion, the artillery platoon's strength has exceeded 800 people.
Generally speaking, after collecting an army, it is definitely necessary to break it up and separate it, rather than letting it continue to be in the same organizational unit. Otherwise, not only will it be difficult to manage, but it will also easily lead to mutiny and other problems.
After Wang Chengzhu integrated the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion, he naturally had to disperse it.
In addition, with artillery and cavalry, it is of course necessary to add several more organizational units.
Reorganizing the artillery platoon is imperative.
Therefore, after Wang Cuihua left, Wang Chengzhu immediately summoned Xu Hailang, Wang Shugen and other major cadres to the headquarters to discuss the issue of troop reorganization.
Headquarters.
Although they had been busy all night, everyone looked in high spirits because of the victory in the battle and the capture of countless trophies, with no look of sleepiness on their faces.
Before the meeting, Wang Chengzhu already had a rough plan.
He looked around and went straight to the topic: "Everyone, our platoon's total strength now exceeds 800 people. Although it is only a platoon-level unit, other units such as cavalry, artillery, scouts, etc.
We can't do less.
So I decided to reorganize the artillery platoon."
The army has expanded and it naturally needs to be reorganized. No one has any objection to this.
As for what level of combat unit it is, they don't really care, as long as they can beat the Japanese and win the battle.
After a pause, Wang Chengzhu continued: "After careful consideration, I decided to add another scout squad, one cavalry squad, and one artillery squad on top of the original ones."
"Do you have any objections? If so, you can raise them."
"Platoon leader, we have no objection and will completely obey your arrangements."
The cadres of the artillery platoon shook their heads and obeyed Wang Chengzhu's arrangements.
"Okay! Since there are no objections, I will announce the appointment notice."
Wang Chengzhu picked up the appointment list prepared in advance and read out loud: "Appoint Xu Hailang as deputy platoon leader and first squad leader, Tian Shuisheng as second squad leader, Chen Xi as third squad leader, Wang Dali as fourth squad leader, and Hou Yong as fifth squad leader.
Monitor."
"In addition, the former first squad leader Wang Shugen serves as the reconnaissance squad squad leader, Liu Qiang serves as the combat staff and artillery squad squad leader, Chen Xiao serves as the cavalry squad squad leader, and Duan Peng serves as the Langya Special Forces team leader."
Wang Shu is basically a scout, so it is most appropriate for him to serve as the leader of the reconnaissance squad and be responsible for collecting intelligence.
Wang Dali and Hou Yong were originally two platoon leaders under Xu Hailang.
As for Chen Xiao, he is a company commander of the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion. He is proficient in equestrian skills, good at leading troops, and has a firm anti-Japanese stance. His reputation in the original army is quite high, even surpassing that of the battalion commander Zhu Dachang, so he was appointed as a cavalryman by Wang Chengzhu.
The monitor of the class.
At present, the strength of each squad in the artillery platoon has reached or approached 100 men. Therefore, Wang Chengzhu added a "group" combat unit below the squad's combat unit.
"Okay, that's it for the job appointments. I hope you will all perform your duties in the future and work together for the development of the artillery platoon, striving to regain our territory as soon as possible and drive the enemy invaders beyond the national borders!"
After Wang Chengzhu finished speaking, he took out several copies of the military discipline regulations that he had copied and handed them over to the squad leaders.
"This is the military discipline of our Eighth Route Army. Every soldier in your squad must remember it. You officers must also abide by military discipline, otherwise the punishment will be doubled!"
The so-called military discipline regulations are the Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention of the Eighth Route Army.
The three major disciplines are: follow orders in all actions, do not take advantage of the masses, and return all seizures to the public.
The eight points of attention are: speak kindly, be fair in buying and selling, return borrowed things, compensate for damaged things, do not beat or curse others, do not damage crops, do not molest women, and do not abuse captives.
The discipline regulations of the Eighth Route Army were already quite perfect and very popular among the people. Therefore, Wang Chengzhu did not need to modify them and could just take them and use them.
"Yes! Platoon Commander!!!"
The cadres responded loudly.
After the meeting, under the leadership of Wang Chengzhu, detailed reorganization of the troops began...
at the same time.
Taiyuan, Japanese First Army Headquarters.
Yoshio Shinozuka was playing Go with Chief of Staff Miyano Shun while discussing the Yamamoto Special Agent Team.
"Crack!"
Miyano Shunzi fell down and said: "Your Majesty Commander, this is really a pity. If our intelligence had not been followed up in time, Yamamoto-kun might have been able to destroy the headquarters of the China Eighth Route Army."
"Well, it's indeed a pity."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, with an expression of regret on his face, because he had high hopes for the Yamamoto Special Agents. In order to destroy the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, he even used the entire Shanxi intelligence network to provide intelligence support to the Yamamoto Special Agents.
Jun Miyano added: "However, although the operation of Yamamoto's special agent team failed, its combat effectiveness has been fully proven.
In an encounter, he faced a regiment of the China Eighth Route Army and killed two to three hundred enemies without a single casualty.
It's a pity that I was later ambushed by the main force of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Maple Ridge..."
In order not to make the atmosphere too awkward, Miyano Jun did not continue talking.
At this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly rushed in from outside: "Your Excellency, Commander, we have just received a telegram that a train transporting supplies from the Imperial Army was hijacked near Wanjia Town. The military supplies that were originally going to southern Shanxi were
All supplies were looted..."
