Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that the new director Jiang Hongchun has gained the trust of the group leader Wang Ping.
In the Independent Group, as long as he is trusted by Wang Ping, it means that Jiang Hongchun has become one with the Independent Group.
Deng Hongtao, director of the Political Department, became anxious and immediately suggested: "Captain, since the situation faced by the Independent Regiment is so bad, our Independent Regiment must complete reorganization as soon as possible, and then conduct training to improve combat effectiveness and fight against the Japanese and puppet troops in Laiyuan City.
Take time."
"Director Deng is right!" Cheng Xiao affirmed.
"Captain, since the expanded independent regiment already has a military command, don't wait any longer. The sooner the troops are reorganized, the sooner they can form combat effectiveness!"
Wang Ping nodded and asked: "Chief of Staff, what do you have in mind?"
"What I mean is to expand directly on the basis of three companies. The company will be expanded into a battalion, the platoon will be expanded into a company, and the squad will be expanded into a platoon. When forming an independent battalion, each company will have two deputy company commanders and two deputy commanders.
Instructor, company-level cadres should not be a problem. The only problem is the battalion-level cadres. The qualifications of the following three company commanders are a bit low. After all, the highest they have ever been was deputy company commander!" Zeng Quan immediately said what he was thinking.
.
"Qualification is not an issue!" Wang Ping said with certainty.
"As long as you have the ability, then you can be promoted to battalion commander. However, you two, political commissar and director Deng, as instructors, must think carefully. If you can't choose anyone internally, use the ones I brought back from the military division. They are all Commander Nie of the military region.
The ability of those assigned to us should not be a problem!"
"If that's not enough, a few of us can step in and take over first, letting them be our deputies. We'll come down after they mature!"
"I agree!" Political Commissar Cheng Xiao was the first to stand up and support.
Deng Hongtao and Jiang Hongchun had just arrived and had no reason to object, so they both expressed their agreement.
Soon, the Party Committee of the Independent League formed a unified opinion and expanded based on the three companies of the Independent Battalion!
Chief of Staff Zeng Quan suggested at this time: "It is best to finalize the establishment of the independent regiment and the list of cadres above the company at once. This way we can reorganize the troops immediately!"
Wang Ping suddenly interjected: "We must reorganize immediately. We have two days to reorganize the troops, and the remaining eight days are for training. I only give everyone ten days. After ten days, the independent regiment will have a combat mission!"
Political Commissar Cheng Xiao frowned and asked with a worried look on his face: "So soon, Commander, have you got any news? The Japs from Laiyuan City will come out to encircle us in ten days!"
Others also looked at Wang Ping with worried faces. For them, ten days was too short, just enough for the cadres to get familiar with the troops. At this time, the troops were drawn out to fight. If one mistake was made, the troops would suffer heavy casualties!
Wang Ping shook his head with a mysterious look on his face and replied: "It's not a Japanese siege. The specific combat mission will be kept secret for the time being. But I can tell you two words. I will take the troops out for training and bring back some more equipment and ammunition by the way!"
"It will definitely be a protracted war for the Japanese troops to encircle and suppress us. The logistics department must not only stock up on food and medicine, but also on equipment and ammunition. Once the battle starts, the consumption of equipment and ammunition will definitely be very large. Without reserves, the troops will be exhausted in the end.
You can only fight with the enemy with bayonets, which I have never advocated!"
As long as the Japanese army did not encircle and suppress them with heavy troops and fight against the Japanese, Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan would feel relieved.
Based on their understanding of Wang Ping, the so-called military training is to find trouble with the little devils. According to Wang Ping's character of only taking advantage and not suffering any losses, there will definitely be no problem in pulling the troops out for training, although he does not know that all the Japanese and puppet troops are concentrated in Laiyuan City.
How could Wang Ping train his troops and who should he find to train his troops under such circumstances? But they believed that Wang Ping would not suffer any disadvantages when he led his troops.
Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan were silent. Although the newcomers Deng Hongtao and Jiang Hongchun were also very confused, they could only keep it in their hearts.
Wang Ping continued: "It has been decided to expand the three companies into battalions. Because the number of machine guns in the army is limited, it is definitely impossible to achieve one machine gun per squad. So, what I mean is that the infantry squad will cancel the machine gun team.
Each squad has nine soldiers and one squad leader!"
"The infantry platoon has three infantry squads, a machine gun team, a platoon leader, and two deputy platoon leaders, a total of thirty-five people!"
"The infantry company has three infantry platoons, a small artillery squad equipped with three grenades, a guard squad, a baggage squad, and a cooking squad, plus the company commander, instructor, deputy company commander, deputy instructor, and company headquarters
Clerks, communications troops, 150 people in total!"
"The infantry battalion has three infantry companies, a fire support platoon equipped with two heavy machine guns and two mortars, a guard platoon, an engineer platoon, a supply platoon, a reconnaissance squad, a communications squad, and a cooking squad
, plus the battalion commander, instructor, deputy battalion commander, deputy instructor, and battalion headquarters clerk, there are a total of 600 people."
"Our independent regiment has three infantry battalions, an artillery company, a guard company, a baggage company, an engineering company, a reconnaissance platoon, a communications platoon, a cooking squad, and then a regiment headquarters, with a total strength of two
Fifteen hundred people.”
"The artillery company will first organize an infantry artillery platoon, and the remaining two platoons will be organized later when the equipment is available!"
"The reconnaissance platoon is composed of elites drawn from the entire regiment, with a total strength of thirty-one people, and I will personally conduct the training."
"Due to limited equipment, the first, second and second battalions and the troops directly under the regiment are tentatively equipped with all-Japanese equipment, while the third battalion uses domestic equipment. We will change the equipment after we have captured it!"
"For the soldiers needed for the expansion of the army, the prisoners of the Royal Association Army in the hands of the chief of staff should first be replenished, and then the new recruits who can shoot and have good basic skills should be selected to replenish the main force."
"There are two thousand recruits left, and one hundred people form a recruit company. According to the plan of the political commissar and chief of staff, each recruit company is assigned a veteran for training. Each recruit company is given ten rifles and one thousand matching rounds of ammunition for training. Because
The cadres are limited, so these twenty recruit companies will be left in charge of Deputy Commander Feng and Deputy Political Commissar He!"
"In addition, Deputy Political Commissar He can also select 20 party members or probationary party members from the main force to join these recruit companies as instructors, do a good job in the political and ideological work of these soldiers, and strive to find some good seedlings among them and develop them into probationary party members.
!”
After the meeting, the independent group began unprecedented reorganization.
Because all members of the regiment were fully staffed, as the regiment leader, Wang Ping became the most leisurely person in the independent regiment.
Jiang Hongchun, the newly appointed Logistics Director, has become the busiest person in the independent regiment. After taking over more than a dozen warehouses of various sizes from Cheng Xiao, although he was frightened by the mountains of materials piled up in the warehouses. However, the troops
The constant attrition due to frostbite also made him aware of the serious problems he faced.
Although he made a guarantee in front of everyone at the meeting, Jiang Hongchun found out that the difficulties and problems he faced were more serious than he thought, and they were much more serious when he actually started doing it.
Jiang Hongchun is an old logistics cadre. In the past, when there were no oceans, he could ensure that there would be no problems with the logistics of the army, not to mention that he still held more than 10,000 yuan in oceans.
Jiang Hongchun has many solutions in his mind for the problems that the independent group urgently needs to solve. However, Jiang Hongchun also has a fatal flaw, that is, he is not familiar with the situation and Laiyuan's situation.
If you are not familiar with Laiyuan, it will be impossible to implement the method you have already thought of!
