"I'll take my brothers to thank Captain Li. Except for a few of them, everyone else will definitely be willing to join the Eighth Route Army and fight the Japanese with you!" Huang Sheng answered with a joyful smile on his face and was very grateful.
Li Hao was very satisfied with this answer and continued: "Captain Huang, you turned out to be the company commander. There is no company commander for you in our guerrilla army, so I can only temporarily aggrieve you!"
"I discussed with the instructor, and now there are two positions for you to choose from in the guerrilla team, one is the deputy captain of the guerrilla team, and the other is the fourth platoon leader!"
"I choose the fourth platoon leader!" Huang Sheng replied without hesitation.
He is a soldier, and he is a soldier who wants to fight the Japanese. He definitely wants to stay with the army and lead troops on the front line!
This result did not surprise Li Hao, who then added.
"Then from now on, you will be the platoon leader of the fourth guerrilla platoon!"
"I am now ordering you as the captain of the guerrillas to select thirty-seven warriors from among the soldiers you brought here who are strong in fighting ability, have strong ideas, and are willing to join our Eighth Route Army to form a fourth platoon."
"The newly formed four platoons include three infantry squads. Each squad has a squad leader and ten riflemen. They are equipped with ten thirty-eight rifles. The squad leader plus a bastard box that captured the little devil. Each person is equipped with thirty rounds of bullets and grenades.
One!"
"A machine gun team, one sergeant, two mates and three machine gunners, equipped with a crooked handle and two 38-inch caps, carrying a total of 300 rounds of ammunition!"
"A grenade group, one main, two auxiliary and three grenade shooters, equipped with a grenade and two 38-inch caps, ten special grenades for the grenade, ten grenades, and the deputy shooter is equipped with bullets
Thirty rounds! You can fight as a rifleman in wartime!"
"The other is the deputy platoon leader, who is equipped with a 38-inch cover, a box pistol, thirty rounds of rifle ammunition, a grenade, and ten rounds of pistol ammunition!"
"As a platoon leader, you will be equipped with a box cannon and sixty rounds of pistol ammunition. If you like, you can also add a 38-inch cap, thirty rounds of ammunition, and a grenade!"
The smile on Huang Sheng's face became even wider.
Although he was not promoted and was demoted, being able to continue to stay with his brothers was a surprise that he had never imagined.
In his understanding, after any unit recruits him, in order to prevent himself from being united, he will find ways to break up the unit and reorganize it. At the very least, he will transfer the officers.
The Eighth Route Army in front of them did not have any, so they still let themselves command them. This only shows one thing, they are truly aboveboard, employing people with no suspicion, and not using others with suspicion.
There is also the firepower of the troops. Although it is only a platoon, it is equipped with light machine guns and grenade launchers, and the ammunition is several times that of the original puppet army. It is definitely not worse than the original puppet army.
He immediately replied: "Thank you Captain Li for trusting me. If you give me a day, I promise to give you a fourth platoon with strong combat effectiveness and ready to go to the battlefield at any time!"
"I believe you!" Li Hao replied readily.
Then he continued to order: "There is another task for you!"
"In addition to the brothers you brought with you to the battlefield, Platoon Leader Huang, we also forced more than 300 people to surrender on the battlefield!"
"I hope you will assist our guerrillas and mobilize them to join our Eighth Route Army!"
"Of course, you must join voluntarily. If you don't want to, I will let them leave when the situation stabilizes!"
Huang Sheng immediately replied: "Guaranteed to complete the task!"
In less than two days, nearly 200 of the more than 300 prisoners were willing to stay with the guerrillas.
There are still many prisoners who are hesitating and waiting. Li Hao believes that it won't be long before these people will choose to join the guerrillas.
Now that we have new soldiers and equipment, the next step is to expand our troops.
A tent captured by the puppet troops has now become the guerrilla headquarters.
There were about a dozen squad leaders all crowded inside, and it was quite lively.
Li Hao, Liu Wenshan, and Hong Linfeng sat in front of them as expected.
The instructor was the first to stand up: "Everyone be quiet. To make a long story short, I am announcing an appointment and dismissal order for the guerrillas!"
"Appoint Comrade Huang Sheng as the platoon leader of the fourth guerrilla platoon, Comrade Chen Bing as the firepower platoon leader, Comrade Yuan Qingfeng as the artillery platoon leader, Comrade Xiao Yuan as the guard platoon leader, and Comrade Dong Xulin as the reconnaissance platoon leader.
Comrade Tao Yongbo is the monitor of the communications class..."
"Others' positions remain unchanged..."
After the order was finished, everyone had smiles on their faces.
In the tent, except for a few veteran platoon leaders, almost everyone else had been promoted.
Li Hao then stood up: "I'm here to announce the latest expansion plan of the guerrillas!"
"All main platoons, guard platoons, and reconnaissance platoons will be added with a grenade team and a deputy platoon leader!"
"The firepower platoon was expanded into three squads, one heavy machine gun squad, equipped with two Type 92 heavy machine guns, and two light machine gun squads, each equipped with four Czech-made light machine guns!"
"In order to facilitate the supply of ammunition, the main force of the guerrillas is all equipped with crooked light machine guns, and the Czech-made ones are concentrated in the fire platoon!"
"Because it is difficult to replenish 79 bullets during the battle with the Japanese army, in order to ensure the supply of Czech-made ammunition, all the 79 rifles we captured will not be equipped with the main force as much as possible, and all the 79 bullets will be saved for the fire platoon!"
"The new artillery platoon is divided into three artillery squads, each squad is equipped with an 81mm caliber mortar!"
"Now there are nearly two hundred people outside the tent who are willing to join us as prisoners of the Eighth Route Army. I have decided to incorporate them all into the army."
"Cavalry platoon, fire platoon, artillery platoon, pick people first!"
"Everyone who can ride a horse will be in the cavalry platoon, everyone who can shoot a machine gun will be in the fire platoon, and everyone who can shoot cannon will be in the artillery platoon!"
"After the three rows are selected, the remaining ones will be assigned directly to each row!"
"The main platoon plus the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader has a full complement of thirty-eight people. No one can be more than one person!"
The guerrillas surged several times, and the original secret camp was definitely not enough. Li Hao directly ordered each platoon to build several small camps next to the secret camp. Except for the guard platoon and other units directly under the guerrillas, the other platoons were all dispersed and stationed in the surrounding areas.
Small camp area.
At the artillery platoon station, platoon leader Yuan Qingfeng showed no joy at being promoted, but instead frowned.
After searching all the prisoners, he found only five ammunition handlers and assistant gunners who had been in the artillery unit.
Including the four people left from the original small artillery squad, there were only ten people including himself, and he could only operate one mortar.
Frowning and thinking all night without any clue, Yuan Qingfeng could only take one step at a time and train first.
On the training ground, looking at the pile of mortar parts placed in front of everyone, he was troubled.
He was already good at shooting grenade launchers, but this was his first time seeing such a large-caliber mortar, and there were so many parts that he didn't know where to start.
The five ammunition handlers and assistant gunners who were found had watched the gunners assemble the mortars, but when it was their turn to get started, they discovered that things were not as simple as they thought.
An hour passed, and ten people had not even assembled a mortar.
Fortunately, Li Hao came at this time, and brought more than twenty recruits!
Seeing Yuan Qingfeng wandering around a pile of mortar parts, he immediately knew that his worries had become a reality.
He had already heard that the artillery platoon had not selected a gunner. With so many prisoners and not even a real gunner found, this showed how badly the Chinese army was short of artillery.
In front of the Japanese army, which deployed mortars to infantry squadrons and infantry artillery to infantry brigades, there was no comparison at all.
Shocked, he thought of the guerrillas.
Without qualified gunners, it would be very difficult to tinker with several mortars.
So as soon as Li Hao had free time, he selected soldiers among the prisoners who could be trained as artillery soldiers and sent them over.
