"You will first serve as staff officers at the detachment headquarters. When our troops are strong enough to expand the camp, we will make another appointment."
Now Yang Ling and the others in the Third Guerrilla Detachment are very outnumbered, with a total of just over 400 brothers. There are only seven officers at the school level, and a lot more at the rank of lieutenant.
The result of having so many officers is that the guerrilla command has too many levels and is too bloated. Each battle is reported to each level, resulting in chaotic command, which is not conducive to the development of combat effectiveness.
Therefore, the first thing Yang Ling did after taking office was to streamline the command level of their third guerrilla unit. How many officers were assigned to the number of troops, and the remaining officers were sent to the guerrilla detachment headquarters as staff officers and logistics managers as backup substitutes.
Now that Yang Ling and the others are fighting behind enemy lines, they keep everything simple and serve the battle. Unlike when they were in the regular army, personnel appointments and dismissals had to be reported to the superior for approval and a letter of appointment was issued.
So now Yang Ling has great power. Although he is only a guerrilla detachment leader, he has the final say on all matters within the guerrilla detachment.
The original first battalion commander Lei Xiong and the other two deputy battalion commanders frowned when they heard that Yang Ling was going to transfer them to the detachment headquarters as staff officers. This was an overt promotion and secret demotion. Without military power, what's the use of a broken staff officer?
use?
But now their deputy detachment leader Zhang Lieguo is still recovering from his injuries and has no one to intercede. Although they were extremely reluctant, they still agreed to it.
After all, Yang Ling is now the highest officer, and they don't dare to openly disobey military orders. The army also has army rules. Disobeying military orders can result in imprisonment, or in severe cases, be shot.
Yang Ling also knew that doing so would make Lei Xiong and others feel uncomfortable, but he had to cut the knot quickly and let the third guerrilla detachment sort it out again. If everyone must be taken care of in everything, then this battle
Are you still fighting?
"Now I am announcing the appointments. The first company commander will be Wang Huzi, the deputy company commander is Blacksmith, the second company commander Wu Changqing, deputy company commander Zheng Gang, guard platoon leader Wang Dongming, logistics platoon leader Sun Chong..."
Yang Ling appointed all the officers in one breath. Wang Huzi and Blacksmith were both majors, and now they had no choice but to become company commanders.
However, Yang Ling did not appoint all the brothers he brought over. The original guerrilla officers such as Wu Changqing, Zheng Gang and others were also promoted.
These promoted former officers of the guerrillas were all brave and good at fighting when they set up an ambush against the puppet troops in Xiaowangzhuang. After Yang Ling's observation, they had a high prestige among the guerrillas, so they were promoted.
"The remaining officers who have not been appointed are organized into a candidate officer class and are waiting for deployment at the detachment headquarters."
After Yang Ling cut through the mess with a sharp knife, the originally bloated third guerrilla detachment suddenly became more capable.
Although the current disruption and reorganization will lead to unfamiliarity with each other and a short-term decrease in combat effectiveness, this is not a problem. In terms of combat effectiveness, Yang Ling will conduct a short run-in training for them before taking the initiative to provoke the Japanese.
Yang Ling reorganized the messy detachment early in the morning. He did not wait for the brothers to be disbanded before assigning them to each company. Instead, he began to assign brothers to each combat company, guard platoon, and logistics platoon on the spot.
Those young and strong brothers are assigned to combat companies and guard platoons, while the old, weak and injured brothers are assigned to the logistics platoon, and will later be responsible for the detachment's food, clothing, housing, transportation, and other chores.
It only took less than an hour for the entire third guerrilla detachment to take on a new look. Two combat companies, a guard platoon, a logistics platoon, a medical class, and an officer candidate class were all rearranged according to their respective affiliations.
Yang Ling's vigorous and resolute style made Zhang Lieguo, the deputy detachment leader who originally had a sense of luck, feel despair. With Yang Ling's reorganization, he, the deputy detachment leader, could only play soy sauce.
"Now the guard platoon is responsible for guarding the camp, and the logistics platoon is responsible for cooking and cleaning. The tasks of the first and second companies are to cut down trees and cut reeds. Let's build some shelters first."
The houses in Yangjiawan are simply not large enough for several hundred brothers, so the first thing Yang Ling and his friends have to solve is the problem of housing.
Each company that received the order performed its duties, those who cut down trees felled trees, and those who cut reeds cut reeds.
Soon, in the open space at the west end of the village chief, tree stumps were driven into the soil, and bundles of fragrant reeds were brought back, and thatched houses were quickly erected.
Since the Japanese mobilized several divisions to attack the theater behind enemy lines a few months ago, the land and sea transportation lines in the theater behind enemy lines have been cut off by the Japanese. Now Yang Ling and the others are short of everything and have to rely on their own efforts.
While Yang Ling and the others were building their Yangjiawan camp in full swing, they were in a state of uproar in the vast rural area of Qinghe Town.
The detective teams in black leather came out in full force to search for traces of Yang Ling and the others. However, no one expected that Yang Ling and the others would camp in the deserted Yangjiawan dozens of miles away.
The detective team and the maintenance team struggled for several days, but could not even find Yang Ling and the others. In the end, they had to go back to reinstate Sadao Kasai, who had been appointed as the captain of the Qinghe Town Security Squadron.
"Taijun, we searched all over Qinghe and found no sign of the guerrillas. I suspect they have fled to other places..."
Faced with the reward from the detective team, Japanese Captain Kasai Sadao was unwilling to give in, but he had no other option. Since he was leaving, he should leave, as long as he did not cause trouble within his jurisdiction.
In order to defeat the Chinese troops on the frontal battlefield, the Japanese behaved extremely viciously, burning, killing, looting and everything. However, in the occupied areas behind enemy lines, their appearance changed again.
In order to paralyze the people behind enemy lines and achieve the goal of domination, they put away their butcher knives and turned back into modest gentlemen. They shouted about co-prosperity in Greater East Asia all day long to cover up their criminal acts of aggression.
Yang Ling and the others went into hiding, and Qinghe Town became peaceful on the surface. However, the police and detective teams of the town office were secretly searching for patriots, while the maintenance committee began to busily go to the villages belonging to Qinghe Town to publicize and prepare to collect money for the Japanese.
Military rations.
The main force of the Japanese army is fighting with the Chinese Army in the Changsha area, and the Japanese island country is in short supply of resources, so they implement the policy of supporting war with war, and wantonly expropriate rice, flour, grain, oil and other materials from the people in the occupied areas for military needs.
The people in the occupied areas not only had to pay rent to the local big landlords, but also paid military rations to the Japanese. Therefore, the people living in the occupied areas were always in a state of lack of food and clothing, and their lives were extremely difficult.
But their country was in ruins, and facing the shining bayonets of the Japanese soldiers, they had no choice but to hand over the food they had worked so hard to grow, ranging from 70% to 80% or even all of it. Anyone who did not scream would be killed.
This is why Yang Ling and other soldiers, even if they know that the Japanese troops are powerful and the strength of the two sides is very different, they must persist in resisting to the end. This is just an occupied area. If China falls, then everyone will live a life of subjugated slaves.
.
It was the bloody battles of millions of Chinese officers and soldiers that drove away the invaders, allowed the Chinese nation to remain standing among the nations of the world, and saved countless people from suffering the suffering of national subjugation. The loyalty of martyrs will be remembered forever by the Chinese people.
