Back at the station of the Independent Regiment, the entire regiment was busy preparing supplies, training, and familiarizing themselves with the equipment. Regiment deputy Zhang Ruhao was also so busy that Liu Lang even prepared to tell him.
The boss has ordered the entire regiment to be expanded, and the good news that all officers and soldiers in the regiment starting from him, Liu Lang, will receive double pay can't be found anywhere else.
After asking, I found out that Liang Wenzhong may have been working hard in Sichuan, and he was very familiar with all kinds of supplies, but in Nanjing, he really lacked firewood. He spent a whole day relying on the money in his hand to build sleepers for fortifications.
I did get some, but the steel plate Liu Lang requested was not available even after running all over Nanjing with white cash.
That was Liu Lang's death order. There was no need for anything else. Even if there was nothing to eat, the steel plate must be there. In desperation, Liang Wenzhong had to find Zhang Ruhao, the regimental deputy. After all, Zhang Ruhao was a senior staff officer who had stayed in the Military and Political Department.
He was far more familiar with Nanjing than Liang Wenzhong, so he accompanied Liang Wenzhong to Nanjing to buy steel plates.
Liu Lang frowned slightly and felt a little helpless. Because of him, Huashang Group has focused its commercial layout on the southwest since its establishment. On the contrary, it has not invested very much in China's political and economic centers such as Shanghai and Nanjing. Even if there is investment
, most of which are light industries based on pharmaceuticals, and heavy industries such as machinery, construction, and chemicals are all in Sichuan Province. That is because Liu Lang knew very well that the Japanese army attacked from north to southeast, and China's most prosperous Jiangnan area was attacked by the war.
From the beginning, it would become an area occupied by the Japanese army. Selling medicines, fertilizers, etc. here would be just a matter of return. If it were to engage in heavy industry, once the war was in danger, it would be purely a gift to the Japanese.
Therefore, it is obviously difficult to expect to obtain this need from the Huashang Group. In fact, even if it is possible, Liu Lang thinks it is better for the independent group to solve it on its own. This is the hometown of Boss Dai who has all the eyes and ears all over the world. Originally, he is right
Liu Lang's dealings with the Huashang Group were very suspicious, and if he were to discover any clues from it, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
Since everyone was busy with their own affairs, Liu Tuanzuo, who had expanded his staff and was promoted, had no one to share the good news with, so he could only stay in the regimental office by himself, writing and drawing.
Of course Liu Tuanzuo didn't have time to drink some wine alone to celebrate, he still had to allocate staff.
The Supreme Commander expanded the formal establishment of his independent regiment to 5,000 people. Now his independent regiment has a regimental command company, including regimental commanders, communications platoons and reinforced guard platoons. After wartime losses and additions, the number of personnel has reached 100.
people; the original medical team of the regiment command company has been expanded into a field hospital during the war. With doctors and nurses plus stretcher soldiers and field hospital guard platoons, the number of field hospitals has expanded to 140 people; the number of personnel in the supply company directly under the regiment has been replenished and maintained at the original level.
The personnel remain unchanged; the number of engineers in the regiment's direct-affiliated engineering company has been replenished and the original number remains unchanged; Zhao Ergou's artillery battalion also basically maintains its original number; Yu Xiancheng's special operations brigade has not seriously reduced its personnel this time, except for a few seriously injured personnel.
They can still participate in the following battles; except for one of the original four infantry battalions, the other three battalions have been expanded into large battalions. In addition, a revenge battalion has been re-established, with a staff strength of up to 800.
people; not counting Liang Wenzhong's logistics personnel, nor the Blue Army brigade that mobilized troops to supplement the rest of the main combat units, the independent regiment now has a formal establishment of combat and non-combat personnel as high as 4,300 people.
Who should give the remaining 700 personnel to the establishment? Liu Lang knew that as soon as this situation is released, people like Zhao Ergou will definitely be the first to jump out and ask for the expansion of the establishment of his artillery battalion. I am afraid that the other five infantry battalion commanders will
Xie Changlong, who just joined the Independent Regiment as the commander of the revenge battalion, wouldn't come to snatch it!
However, Liu Lang also had a headache when he thought of the former lieutenant commander of the 29th Army who dared to ask more than 100 people in his company to stand up and prove their heroism in front of tens of thousands of prisoners of war. That guy was definitely a fool and bold person.
Courage leads to courage, but he is a straight-forward guy who will not hide his emotions just because he first joined. He is a true fierce general.
But don't tell me, people like this are quite popular in the army. Ordinary officers and soldiers are most willing to follow such a commander. Most of the more than a thousand people who chose to join the independent regiment actually listened to him. He can convince the public.
He was brave enough, so Liu Lang defied all opinions and chose him to be the commander of the First Battalion. However, Zhao Changfeng, who was originally recommended by Zhang Ruhao to be transferred to the commander of the Xueshen Battalion and the former deputy battalion commander of the Panshi Battalion, did not get the opportunity to be the commander of the first battalion.
Thinking of this, Liu Lang couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Zhao Changfeng, who had never had the chance to be the chief officer, was not the right one for him to be the chief officer of the army he had wanted to set up all along!
Zhao Changfeng was one of the six remnants who followed Liu Lang to kill the Japanese hinterland and survived the battle. He was the least showy among the six. He had neither the ruffianism of Zhao Ergou nor the bravery of Liu Dazhu.
, is not as agile as Ling Hong, but this one also has a characteristic, a low-key personality and perseverance.
The other five became either artillery battalion commanders or infantry battalion commanders, and even like Xiao Fenghua, he became the powerful director of the security department. However, he started from the company commander of the baggage company that transported supplies, and was promoted only because of the establishment of the company.
There was a vacant position in the security regiment and he became the deputy battalion commander. Even when he reorganized the Shameless Battalion, Liu Lang took a huge risk and chose the former lieutenant company commander of the 29th Army to be promoted to battalion commander.
Use him.
If it were anyone else, he would probably be full of resentment, or just go along with the crowd. But that's not the case with this one. Although neither fighting nor training is the kind that makes people amazing, he is definitely serious, meticulous, and extremely
Make fewer mistakes.
When he was Ling Hong's deputy in Panshi Camp, he never put on airs or slacked off because he was an old brother. When the last time the revenge camp was first built, he heard that Zhao Changfeng was going to be transferred to the revenge camp, and Ling Hong even came to see Liu.
He poured out his bitter words and said that if Zhao Changfeng was transferred, the combat effectiveness of Panshi Camp would be reduced by at least one-third. He would never be transferred before the war, and if he was to be promoted after the war, he would never prevent Zhao Changfeng from being promoted. Although Liu Lang knew that Ling Hong also had
The meaning of transferring people is to gain benefits, but it also shows Zhao Changfeng's role in Panshi Camp.
The infantry battalion Liu Lang wants to set up is called the Police Reconnaissance Battalion for short. In the future, the Red Army will call it the Guard Reconnaissance Battalion. When placed in the current national army, it is actually a special agent battalion. It can be used as both a guard and a reconnaissance battalion, which just complements the current independent regiment.
The special operations brigade had the shortcoming of having too few personnel to effectively attack the Japanese squadron-level combat units during infiltration and counter-infiltration. It could also serve as the last reserve team that the regiment headquarters could deploy, killing three birds with one stone.
At the beginning of the establishment, when combat effectiveness had not yet been formed, a military commander with Zhao Changfeng's personality and work attitude was the most suitable. He was not greedy for merit or aggressive, and allowed soldiers to accept the baptism of war according to the command of the regiment. During the battle,
Gradually forming combat effectiveness is what the police reconnaissance battalion established before the war should do most.
However, the scale of the police reconnaissance battalion should not be too large. Liu Lang thought for a long time, and based on the characteristics of the police reconnaissance battalion that required mobile and flexible operations, the firepower company was removed. Instead of carrying 82 force-fired guns, the infantry company firepower platoon was equipped with MG42 heavy machine guns and 60 mortars.
As the main fire support, at the squad and platoon level, light machine guns, rocket launchers and submachine guns are used as the first line of fire support. One battalion has three infantry companies with a total strength of about 480 people.
The personnel will be drawn from the so-called strong men's camp of more than 700 people down the river from Wuhan, which will soon join the security team. Yes, it is actually said to be a strong men's camp, but Liu Lang knows that there is at least a fortress in it.
The 300 veterans in the battalion, and even the new recruits, have been trained for more than two years, and their combat effectiveness is by no means weak. As long as they survive the last battlefield, the combat effectiveness of this police reconnaissance battalion will be strong.
Now that he had decided, Liu Lang quickly summoned Zhao Changfeng, who was so busy that he hadn't had dinner yet, and conveyed to him the task of setting up the police investigation battalion, telling him that he must complete the handover with Panshi Battalion tonight and deploy all police officers within three days.
The three-level officers of the reconnaissance battalion, company, and platoon only waited for the arrival of the strong men battalion to complete the establishment of this newly established unit within five days.
"Commander, please let me continue to be the deputy battalion commander!" Zhao Changfeng was not happy at first when he heard that his daughter-in-law had finally become the chief officer of the first battalion, but his face was so bitter that it looked like it was about to drip.
water.
Liu Tuanzuo only gave him five days to set up the police reconnaissance battalion. He understood the reason for such a short time. The independent regiment could not tell when it would go to the Songhu battlefield hundreds of miles away. The regimental commander could give him five days.
God, it's already pretty good.
In fact, Zhao Changfeng's military rank has already been changed from captain to major. It is not difficult to change from deputy battalion commander to battalion commander.
The soldiers of the Police Reconnaissance Battalion all come from the Guangyuan Base Garrison Camp. Whether it is equipment or tactical training, they are the same as the current officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment. As long as there are grassroots officers who are familiar with the unique command tactics of the Independent Regiment, commanding in battle will not be too difficult.
The difficult thing is that he has to find a deputy battalion commander, three company commanders and at least nine platoon commanders, who have to be transferred from other infantry battalions.
If in peacetime, with his reputation as Zhao Changfeng, he probably wanted that, as long as their elites were not moved, several infantry battalion commanders would not stop him. But now, there will be a war soon, even if he is Shang Fang holding Liu Tuan Zuo
Baojian, I'm afraid, will also be kicked out of the camp by several infantry battalion commanders. At this time, let alone the old brothers, I estimate that the ones who will be beaten the hardest are Liu Dazhu and the other old brothers! At this time, dig
People, it’s all about ripping out their livers!
"Look at how promising you are? Do you believe it or not, if I let the news of setting up the police reconnaissance battalion out, that bastard Zhao Ergou will definitely recommend me, or someone from their artillery battalion?" Liu Lang squinted and curled his lips, "
You, Old Zhao, have learned bad things from them, so don’t pretend to be in front of me. Aren’t you just afraid that some old brothers will blame you? I guess most of the people you want to transfer are from the Bayonet Battalion, the Rock Battalion and the First Battalion.
Come on! Tell me! What kind of support do you need from me? As long as it’s not too much, I’ll give it to you.”
"Hehe! Sir, you see that Lieutenant Yan Qiguan has been the guard platoon leader for so long. It's time for you to let him out to practice. How about coming to the police reconnaissance camp?" Zhao Changfeng felt bitter after hearing what Liu Lang said.
His face suddenly beamed with joy and he followed the stick and said, "Don't worry, with Lieutenant Yan Qiguan's ability, when you come to my place, you will definitely not lose the position of company commander."
Liu Lang couldn't help but burst into laughter. He had really underestimated this old Zhao before. Under his tough appearance, he actually had a delicate heart. Although Yan Qiguan was only a lieutenant platoon leader, as a regimental security platoon leader
Commander, if you don’t have certain abilities, how can you sit in that position? There is no doubt about your ability, and it is no problem to be a company commander. More importantly, it is not that he poached people to the regiment headquarters, but that Liu Lang arranged the regiment headquarters guards
The commander has already given him a police detective camp, so if he goes to ask for someone else, who will dare to blow up the assassin? That is the most substantial support, okay?
"Okay! Old Zhao, you have served as the deputy battalion commander in vain in recent years, and you know how to figure out people's hearts." Liu Lang smiled and threw a cigarette to Zhao Changfeng, "The police reconnaissance battalion has the responsibility of the security regiment headquarters. Strictly speaking,
It is quite suitable for Qi Guan to be the company commander, so I will let you go to the police reconnaissance battalion. However, I have to put it first. The personnel and equipment will arrive in five days. If you cannot form the police reconnaissance battalion into an army, then I will not only
If you are removed from your position as the commander of the Police Reconnaissance Battalion, the Panshi Battalion will not be able to return, so you should go back to your old business and engage in logistics!"
"Promise to complete the mission!" Zhao Changfeng confidently gave Liu Lang a military salute, turned around and left.
