All the former officers of the battalion and above of the Baoshan Regiment and all the former officers of the battalion and above of the 114th Division have all arrived. Yue Weihan glanced over everyone's faces with piercing eyes, and immediately put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "With the order of the peak, the remnants of the Baoshan Regiment and the 114th Division are united.
It will be organized into the Baoshan Brigade, and I will be appointed as the Major General Brigade Commander."
"Huh? The tour seat has been promoted to the passenger seat?"
"His grandma has traveled to Baoshan?"
"His grandma is such a bear, she should have been promoted long ago!"
The officers of the former Baoshan Regiment suddenly became excited. Yue Weihan was promoted to brigade, which means that their old subordinates will also be promoted. The six battalion commanders of the former 114th Division looked sad. In any case, they were promoted by others.
After all, being recruited is not a glorious thing, even if it is the legendary Baoshan Regiment that recruits them.
Yue Weihan paused and then said: "Now, I will announce the personnel appointments of the Baoshan Brigade."
The officers of the former Baoshan Regiment straightened their chests immediately, and their eyes looked expectant.
Yue Weihan took out the list he had prepared from the pocket of his woolen uniform and read aloud: "Liu Yi, Ren Baoshan Brigade Colonel Chief of Staff!"
"Baoshan 1st Regiment: Colonel Cao Xinglong, Colonel, and Lieutenant Colonel Huang Baocheng, Chief of Staff."
"Baoshan 2nd Regiment: Colonel Chi Chengfeng, commander of the regiment, and Liao Yaoting, lieutenant colonel and chief of staff."
"Baoshan 3rd Regiment: Colonel Lu Xiufeng, commander, and Lieutenant Colonel Wang Qing, chief of staff."
"Battal, company, and platoon-level officers are decided upon by the commanders and chiefs of staff of each regiment, and they are reported to the brigade headquarters before noon. As for the criteria for selection and appointment, past qualifications are not counted, and everything is based on military merit!"
"The Bayonet Battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade: Lieutenant Colonel Li Yulong, Battalion Commander, and Major Battalion Deputy Liu Fengsheng."
"The artillery battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade: Lieutenant Colonel Niu Dagen, Battalion Commander, and Major Battalion Deputy Liu Guowei."
"The security battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade: Lieutenant Colonel Hua Hanlin, battalion commander, and Major battalion deputy Liu Tiezhu."
"The independent battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade: Lieutenant Colonel Ma Daguai (the real name of the Lake Bandit leader Ma Daguai)."
"Okay, the above are the personnel appointments for the commanders of each regiment and the commanders directly subordinate to the battalions. Now I give the order."
The officers present at the meeting immediately stood up. Yue Weihan straightened the military cap on his head and said: "The chief officers of each regiment and the chief officers of the directly affiliated battalions immediately went back to draw up a list of battalion, company, and platoon-level officers. They must be reported to the brigade before noon.
After the officers of each regiment and directly affiliated battalion, company, and platoon are determined, the entire brigade will be reorganized!"
"Yes!" The chief officers of each regiment and the chief officers of each directly affiliated battalion agreed and immediately took the order.
Soon, only Yue Weihan and the new brigade chief of staff Liu Yi were left in the temporary brigade headquarters.
Yue Weihan turned to Liu Yi and said: "Chief of Staff, do you have any ideas about the personnel reorganization plan?"
"This plan is really not easy to decide." Liu Yi thought, "More than 3,000 veterans of the original Baoshan Regiment have experienced the iron-blooded baptism of the Battle of Jiangpu and the Battle of Nanjing. Whether it is the fighting will or the quality of individual soldiers,
They are all far better than ordinary officers and soldiers of the Kuomintang. Although the 114th Division is the elite of the Northeast Army, it is still far behind the Baoshan Regiment!"
What Liu Yi said is an indisputable fact. After experiencing the Battle of Jiangpu and the street fighting in Nanjing, the veterans of the original Baoshan Regiment could even defeat the most elite permanent division of the Japanese army in a hand-to-hand combat with equal strength. Looking at the entire national army,
In the battle sequence, besides the Baoshan regiment, who else has the courage, and who else has the ability?
Especially the Battle of Jiangpu, like a monument, has always stood in the hearts of all the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Regiment!
A great victory worthy of being recorded in history is enough to change an army completely. After winning the Battle of Jiangpu, all the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Regiment, at least psychologically, are no longer afraid of any opponent, even face-to-face.
They also have the confidence to fight against the most elite Guards Division of the Japanese army!
"So..." Liu Yi paused and then said, "From a long-term perspective, I think the three thousand officers and soldiers of the original Baoshan Regiment should be split up and organized into each regiment to ensure that each regiment has a battalion of veterans, and each regiment has a battalion of veterans.
The battalion has a company of veterans, each company has a platoon of veterans, and each platoon has a squad of veterans!"
Yue Weihan frowned and said: "But this will inevitably cause a sudden drop in the combat effectiveness of the entire brigade in the near future!"
"Yes." Liu Yi nodded and said, "If there is a war in the near future, it is best to retain the Baoshan Regiment as a whole, and at most transfer some of the veterans to the other two regiments to serve as the backbone of the battle."
Yue Weihan shook his head and said: "This won't work. The combat effectiveness of the three regiments cannot be too different."
Liu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Then we can only take a compromise approach."
"A compromise?" Yue Weihan said, "Tell me, what is the solution?"
Liu Yidao: "Three battalions are transferred from the Baoshan Regiment and organized into three regiments respectively, so that the combat effectiveness of each regiment can be basically equal. When encountering a big battle, each regiment will also have a battalion of fist troops to take charge of the main attack."
"Well, this is a good idea." Yue Weihan nodded happily. "The original bayonet battalion of the Baoshan Regiment will be retained as a whole. The guard company will be expanded into a guard battalion by adding some veterans. The remaining three battalions will be incorporated into each regiment respectively. The personnel of the independent battalion will remain unchanged.
, and what’s more, all the defeated soldiers of the original 114th Division who were able to fire artillery were integrated into Niu Dagen’s artillery battalion.”
Liu Yi said: "Okay, then it's settled."
Yue Weihan nodded and said again: "Chief of Staff, how did you do what I asked you to do?"
"It has been done, but time is too tight, so I only made a rough calculation." Liu Yi took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it and read: "The whole brigade now has 12 92 infantry guns and domestic mortars.
6 guns, 4 Maxim heavy machine guns, 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 24 Czech light machine guns, 49 crooked light machine guns, 39 grenade launchers, more than 3,600 38 caps, and 5,000 domestic rifles
The remaining ones include more than 80,000 Chinese-made grenades and more than 40,000 Japanese-made grenades."
Yue Weihan asked again: "Where is the ammunition reserve?"
"All Japanese equipment and ammunition are sufficient to last for half a month!" Liu Yi said this, and then said with a wry smile, "However, the ammunition reserves of the original 114th Division's domestic equipment are seriously insufficient, and the mortars only have 100 shells.
There are only four basic bullets for light and heavy machine guns, and only twenty rifle bullets are issued to individual soldiers."
"Damn it." Yue Weihan said angrily, "Does the 114th Division only have this much wealth?"
"The 114th Division is pretty good." Liu Yi shook his head and sighed, "I think back when our 672nd Regiment was guarding Yangzhou, we only had two basic numbers of light and heavy machine gun bullets, and each soldier only had ten bullets and two grenades! In less than half a day, this
The ammunition was exhausted, and I basically fought with bayonets against the Japs."
"The brothers of the 672nd Regiment are all good." Yue Weihan patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and said, "The brothers of the Northeast Army are also good. Now, since the officers and soldiers of the 114th Division have joined the Baoshan Brigade, as
Commander of the Baoshan Brigade, I can no longer let my brothers live the same miserable life as before."
After saying this, Yue Weihan immediately turned around and shouted: "Consultant Liu!"
"Yes!" Major Liu Xin quickly trotted to Yue Weihan and stood upright.
Not far away, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across Zhao Xinyi's beautiful eyes. Why did she see that Liu Xin's running posture today was a bit awkward? She seemed to feel uncomfortable somewhere.
However, Yue Weihan had no intention of caring about whether Major Liu Xin was feeling unwell. He immediately said viciously: "Send a report directly to Director He of the Military Command Department: The Baoshan Brigade has just been formed and is extremely short of equipment and ammunition. We hope to replenish it as soon as possible. In addition, if the Military Command Department succeeds,
If you have any difficulty, you can convert the five thousand cash gift given to Mr. Yue into equipment and ammunition."
"Yes." Major Liu Xin stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left.
Not far away, Zhao Xinyi hurriedly came up to her and asked with concern: "Liu Xin, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" Liu Xin looked at Zhao Xinyi inexplicably, confused.
Zhao Xinyi looked Liu Xin up and down, especially looking at Liu Xin's lower abdomen, and said, "I think you are walking weird today. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Ah?" Liu Xin's pink face instantly turned red with embarrassment, "No, I'm fine."
After saying that, Liu Xin turned around and ran away, leaving Zhao Xinyi confused: "It's okay, why are you blushing? Really, this damn girl must be hiding something from me..."
…
Huainan, 51st Army Headquarters.
"This is unreasonable, simply unreasonable!" Yu Xuezhong, commander-in-chief of the 3rd Group Army and commander of the 51st Army, slammed the telegram in his hand on the desk and said angrily, "The personnel, equipment, and organizational structure of our 114th Division are all here.
He just suffered a defeat and was taken in even though he was told to be included? Mr. Jiang is bullying others too much, he is bullying others too much!"
"Military, calm down." The chief of staff next to him shook his head and sighed, "Since the Xi'an Incident, our Northeastern Army has become a wild child that grandpa does not care for and grandma does not love. We want to bite anyone who gets the opportunity. The 114th Division
Having suffered a defeat for the first time, it is perfectly normal for someone like Chiang to take the opportunity to add insult to injury."
Zhou Guangxi, commander of the 113th Division, also said: "Yes, military seat, please look away."
Yu Xuezhong said: "But Jiang is the leader of the country after all, so his behavior is really chilling."
The chief of staff said: "Military officer, why don't we simply join the Japanese army, so as not to stay in the national army and suffer this shame!"
"Fart!" Yu Xuezhong said angrily, "I am still Chinese no matter what, so how can I accept a thief as my father and join Japan? Chief of Staff, this is your first offense, so I won't care about it anymore. From now on
If you dare to say such rebellious and bastard words again, be careful of me turning my back on you!"
The chief of staff immediately fell silent and did not dare to say another word.
"Chief of Staff." Yu Xuezhong paused, and then said, "Immediately call the War Zone Commander's Department and the Military Command Department to combine the remnants of the 114th Division and the Baoshan Regiment into the Baoshan Brigade. I have no objection to that person, but the Baoshan Brigade
The teaching corps of the Central Military Academy must be transferred to the battle order of our 3rd Group Army. Otherwise, tens of thousands of soldiers of the 3rd Group Army will be chilled."
