Seeing that the two people finally finished talking about the arsenal, Zhong Chenggong couldn't help it anymore and asked anxiously: "Captain, you just said that the army will continue to expand. I don't know if there is any expansion plan!"
"We already have a preliminary plan!" Wang Ping affirmed.
“I’ll tell you what I’m saying, and we’ll discuss it together. If there’s any shortcomings, just put forward your opinions!”
"What I mean is to conduct a systematic reorganization and training of all the troops in the entire regiment, so that the entire regiment can be further regularized..."
"We have been at war some time ago. We just finished fighting a wave of little Japs, and then another wave of Japs came to kill us. After the expansion of the army, we have not experienced systematic training!"
"After this reorganization, the new regiment has five main battalions, five new battalions, and five independent battalions. In addition, the military division will also form nine garrison battalions, ensuring that every county has one garrison battalion!
"
"Whether it is a main battalion, a new battalion, or an independent battalion, they all have three main companies, a recruit company, a firepower company, a guard platoon, a supply platoon, a reconnaissance squad, and a communications squad!"
"Each main force company has three infantry platoons, a small artillery squad, a guard squad, a cooking squad, and a company headquarters...The infantry platoon has three infantry squads, one machine gun equipped with three mortars, plus
Go up to the sergeant and deputy platoon commander, thirty-six people in total!"
"Among them, all squad leaders of the infantry squad are equipped with a rifle and a submachine gun to strengthen the close combat firepower of the infantry squad!"
"The machine gun team consists of three people, equipped with a machine gun and two rifles. The platoon leader and deputy platoon leader are equipped with a rifle and a pistol!"
"Each infantry company has one hundred and fifty men, equipped with four light machine guns, one of which is equipped with the guard squad, three grenade launchers, and fifteen submachine guns. Except for the squad leader, the remaining submachine guns are all equipped with the guard squad, increasing the number of troops
The melee firepower, bayonet fight with the Japanese, use it in melee combat!"
"The firepower company includes an infantry artillery platoon with two infantry guns, a mortar platoon with three mortars, and a heavy machine gun platoon with four heavy machine guns..."
"In this case, the independent battalions will be newly organized. The total strength of each battalion will reach 700 people. The heavy weapons include two infantry cannons, three mortars, four heavy machine guns, fifteen light machine guns, and nine
The grenade can be used to attack when advancing, and when retreating, it can be defended. It should be easy to deal with a reinforced Japanese squadron. Even if you encounter a Japanese infantry brigade, there is still room to fight back!"
"In addition to having all the establishments of the new battalion and the independent battalion, the main force battalion will also form a mountain artillery company and six mountain cannons. If the mountain cannons are not enough, they will be drawn from the ones we captured this time. Then form an assault company and the organization of the main force company.
Same, as the assault force in the hands of the main battalion commander. Finally, there is the baggage company, which is directly under the main battalion commander..."
Huang Yuanqiang and Zhong Chenggong were not fools. They could see Wang Ping's purpose of establishing three companies at a glance.
Although the commanders of several main battalions still wear the title of battalion commander, in the eyes of the regiment commander, they are already the commanders. The so-called mountain artillery company, assault company, and baggage company are these battalions that form the main regiment.
The rear regiment is directly under the army!
"I agree!" So, as soon as Wang Ping finished speaking, the political commissar agreed.
Zhong Chenggong also added: "I don't have any objections. In this way, the firepower, equipment, and troop strength of all battalions will be exactly the same. No one will say that the regiment headquarters is biased, and the regiment headquarters will be able to assess them..."
"The next step is the troops directly under the regiment headquarters..." Wang Ping continued.
"The guard battalion not only has to undertake the security work of the regiment, but also participates in combat. Therefore, the guard battalion is a reinforced battalion, which has a mortar company, a heavy machine gun company, four infantry companies, plus a certain number of
The direct-affiliated troops have a total strength of one thousand people!"
"In the artillery battalion, all the mountain and field artillery originally equipped will be removed, and all the heavy artillery that the military region agreed to be in our new regiment will be strengthened."
"In other troops, each heavy artillery company has two heavy artillery. If we also have two heavy artillery, then the heavy artillery battalion will have ten companies. It is too exaggerated. Therefore, each company of our heavy artillery battalion is equipped with four heavy artillery, a total of five
Heavy artillery battery of twenty heavy guns!"
"The cavalry battalion has been increased to five companies, with a total strength of 600 people!"
"The armored assault battalion has been increased to five hundred men!"
"The total strength of the air defense battalion remains unchanged. The reconnaissance company and the directly affiliated team will recruit troops from the entire regiment according to the company level. No one can stop it!"
At the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters, Commander Chen regained his energy after resting for the whole day and stayed in the war room to deal with various things accumulated during the day.
The political commissar and the chief of staff walked in together unexpectedly.
Of course, this wasn't what shocked him the most.
What he didn't understand the most was the expressions of the two people, both of whom had complex expressions of shock and surprise.
"Commander, the new regiment's telegram is an application and a difficult problem!" the political commissar said straight to the point.
Then he handed over the telegram in his hand.
"Fifteen thousand people, Wang Ping is crazy! Is this still a regiment? It's basically the strength of a division!" Commander Chen was also frightened and shouted with a look of shock.
The political commissar reminded: "Commander, look at the back. These 15,000 people do not include nine local garrison battalions and dozens of local garrison companies. If these troops are added, there will be more than 20,000 people, and they also have equipment."
More than 20,000 excellent people!"
"There are so many troops, artillery, light and heavy machine guns, it's impossible to hide even if you want to!"
The chief of staff couldn't help but scolded: "What does Wang Ping want to do... He has the lowest rank among several military divisions. After such a reorganization, he has the largest number of troops and the largest base area. This is not
Is it jealous?"
"I have just defeated the Japs' heavy encirclement and suppression, but there are still nearly 20,000 Japs in his belly, and there are a large number of Japanese troops around who are staring at him eagerly. If the Japs know that he has formed so many troops at once, the war will be even bigger.
A large-scale raid will definitely begin immediately!"
"By the way, I forgot about the World War II zone. They are separated by a division of Japanese soldiers. As soon as there is any news, the other party will know it immediately. In the eyes of the World War II zone, Wang Ping has a new regiment in his hands.
The number of troops is less than 5,000. If they know that Wang Ping has 15,000 main troops alone, they will not get angry immediately and order Wang Ping to disband the excess troops, and then they will become scrupulous about Wang Ping and keep a close eye on Wang Ping.
Hold them!"
"World War II zone..." Frowning Commander Chen immediately turned his attention to the map behind him.
Two minutes later, he shouted with a look of realization: "I understand, I know why Wang Ping wants to expand his army in such a big way!"
"What he is worried about is not the Japs, but the Jinsui Army in the World War II zone! The counter-mopping up just ended has caused heavy losses to the Japanese army in the entire North China. In a short period of time, the Japs will definitely not have the strength to retaliate against the new regiment!"
"So, the New Regiment took this opportunity to expand its troops in a big way, which not only made the Japanese afraid of his strength and did not dare to attack his base area casually. It also made the World War II area afraid of his strength and did not dare to touch or exclude him casually!
"
"Exclude him..." The political commissar immediately recognized the key words in the commander's words!
"Yes, it means squeezing Wang Ping and the Xinyi Group out of southwestern Shanxi!" the commander replied with a sharp look in his eyes.
Then I reiterated Wang Ping’s analysis.
The political commissar was frightened by the commander's bold inference, but he was not an inexperienced person. He immediately made a decision: "I agree to their expansion of the army. The base area we worked so hard to build must not be given to the Jinsui Army in vain.
You must not give in an inch of ground!”
"Commander, in order to avoid this accident, the new regiment must expand its troops..."
