After the biggest problem facing the independent camp was solved, Li Hao felt significantly better.
"Instructor, what the Independent Battalion lacks the most is political cadres. The recruits who are replenishing the army during this period are all puppet prisoners who are willing to join our Eighth Route Army. We urgently need political cadres to keep an eye on their ideological trends, continue to educate them, and do more ideological work.
Work and let them integrate into our Eighth Route Army as soon as possible!"
"Now the military division has transferred five deputy instructors to us at a time. I propose that they be assigned to put them into use immediately!"
"I believe that with their participation, the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely increase!"
Wang Hong hesitated and reminded: "Should we directly expand the army?"
Li Hao frowned and thought for a long time before replying: "Okay!"
"The expansion of the independent company and independent battalion is a good thing. If it is announced, it will definitely greatly improve the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers!"
"However, in order to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the troops is not affected, we will only provide them with captive soldiers for the time being!"
"All new recruits recruited from the common people will stay at the battalion headquarters to continue recruit training. Only after completing the recruit training can we continue to replenish the troops!"
"I have a feeling that the little devils in Lingqiu City will never give up so easily, and their superiors will not allow them to give up!"
"As long as they move, we will have a big battle. Recruiting them rashly to replenish the army is no different from sending them to death!"
Wang Hong had an expression of admiration on his face.
When he first saw Li Hao, he was frightened by Li Hao's youth.
Then I started to worry about whether this future partner would have some bad characteristics such as being arrogant, arrogant, impulsive, etc.
Now it seems that my worries were overblown.
In the face of expansion and caution orders, not only did he not take credit or show arrogance, but he was very calm!
It was as if the expansion and promotion orders of the headquarters had nothing to do with him. From beginning to end, his mind was filled with the current battle situation, the future of the independent battalion, and the little devil!
There is no doubt that although my partner is very young, he is very mature.
After nodding his head with relief and satisfaction, he replied in agreement: "I agree!"
"There are little devils everywhere around us, and the battle may be solved at any time. No matter what we do, we must first ensure that the combat effectiveness of the combat troops is not affected. Otherwise, we would rather not do this!"
"Batalion Commander, I am not familiar with the current situation of the Independent Battalion. I will listen to you regarding the expansion. If you have any ideas, just tell me!"
Wang Hong's straightforwardness made Li Hao very satisfied.
No longer hesitating, he answered directly: "Before the expansion, the independent company had four main platoons. What I mean is that the four main platoons were directly expanded into four main companies, namely the first company, the second company, the third company, and the independent company!"
"The guard platoon was expanded into a guard company, the artillery platoon was expanded into an artillery company, the heavy machine gun platoon was expanded into a firepower platoon, the baggage platoon was expanded into a baggage company, and the recruit platoon was expanded into a recruit company!"
"The structure of the cavalry platoon and the reconnaissance platoon remains unchanged, and they are directly under the battalion headquarters! But the level of the cadres is the same as that of the main company, and they are equipped with platoon leaders!"
"hiss……"
Instructor Wang Hong and the previous instructors all took a deep breath.
The first reaction was that he couldn't believe it. After seeing Li Hao's serious face, which didn't look like he was joking, his expression turned into shock.
Among these people, the one with the most complicated mood is undoubtedly instructor Wang Hong.
When the commander came to talk to him, he was not very willing!
He was originally the instructor of the main force. As long as nothing unexpected happened, the army would expand in the future and it would be certain that he would be promoted to the political commissar of the regiment.
An independent battalion, and an expansion of an independent company.
More importantly, this independent company was established less than a month ago. Its predecessor was just a guerrilla force, a so-called local armed force!
Such a unit, even if it is expanded into a battalion, will not have many people.
As for combat effectiveness, don't even think about it, it must be very poor, maybe not even as good as a company of the main force.
This was Wang Hong's first thought after hearing the words "Independence Camp".
The commander didn't explain anything at that time, but a smile flashed across his lips, and then he said that he would definitely not regret today's decision when he got to the Independence Camp.
Now after listening to Li Hao's introduction, Wang Hong really has no regrets. He is even a little glad that he chose to follow the order and work as an instructor in the independent camp!
There are four main companies, a guard company, a baggage company, an artillery company, a firepower company, and a recruit company. There are nine companies in the company level alone, including artillery and cannons, and heavy machine guns.
There is even a cavalry platoon, is this still a battalion?
A regiment of the main force may not have such a good configuration!
Shocked, Wang Hong did not lose his mind and quickly regained his composure.
How long has it been since then that a local guerrilla force was upgraded to an independent company of the main force, and then expanded into an independent battalion, and also obtained so much equipment? Is this possible?
A suspicious expression slowly flashed across Wang Hong's face.
If he were to know that in addition to the equipment in hand, the Independent Battalion also sent equipment and ammunition to the military division that could form half a regiment, he would definitely be stunned and think that Li Hao standing in front of him was a big liar!
After hesitating for a long time, he asked: "Batalion Commander, does our independent battalion have so much equipment and troops?"
"Even if it's not enough, it's not much different!" Li Hao answered confidently.
"It turns out that there is one thing that is particularly lacking: qualified political cadres. Now that the instructors and these comrades are here, this problem has been solved!"
Then he ordered Hong Linfeng next to him: "Old Hong, first introduce to the instructor the current strength and equipment of the Independent Battalion!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
Faced with the unexpected surprise of expansion, Hong Linfeng was also happy and quickly answered.
"Instructor, the independent battalion has four main platoons, a guard platoon, and a reconnaissance platoon. Each platoon has thirty-eight people and is equipped with thirty-six rifles, one light machine gun, and one grenade launcher!"
"The artillery platoon now has three mountain guns and six mortars. It has long been a company-level organization. Because we are an independent company, we can only support the artillery platoon!"
"The firepower platoon has six heavy machine guns, the cavalry platoon has thirty-two horses, the communications platoon has three radios, two low-power radios that can only communicate at close range, and one radio that can contact the military division headquarters!"
"In addition, our secret camp in the mountain still stores all the weapons and ammunition that can be expanded by 500 people!"
Li Hao said: "My idea is to use the weapons and ammunition in the secret camp to expand the main platoon into companies. Each main company has three main platoons, a guard squad, a fire squad, and a small artillery squad.
A cooking class and a company headquarters!"
"The firepower squad is equipped with three light machine guns, and the small artillery squad is equipped with three grenade launchers. The main platoon has three infantry squads of ten people, a machine gun firepower group, and a total of thirty-five people including the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader!"
"The security squad directly under the company has strengthened a machine gun group, and the total strength of the company is 150 people! This is my temporary idea!"
