After the telegram was handed to Li Hao, several battalion commanders agreed upon the same thing. They all focused their attention on him, their eyes shining, wanting to know what was written in the commendation telegram from Chongqing!
To their disappointment, after reading the telegram, Li Hao's expression did not fluctuate at all. He was still as serious as ever, as if he had not seen anything just now!
Of course, these were all deliberately displayed by Li Hao!
After reading the telegram, he was already happy, but he just kept holding it back!
His idea is the same as that of the boss. Giving himself a main force team is not as good as a defensive team!
From now on, the Independent Regiment will have the title of Lingqiu Garrison Regiment, and he will also be the lieutenant colonel leader of the garrison directly appointed by Chongqing. Many things, especially dealing with the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army, will definitely be much easier!
More importantly, Lingqiu Garrison means that Lingqiu will be the future headquarters of the garrison, and it is recognized by Chongqing! Even if the Jinsui Army returns to Lingqiu one day, they have no reason to drive them away!
Of course, these are all my own thoughts and cannot be expressed out loud!
Otherwise, if someone with serious intentions hears about it and sues it to Chongqing to withdraw the order for the independent regiment to reorganize the garrison regiment, then I will be in vain!
Seeing Li Hao's serious face and not speaking, the third battalion commander Huang Sheng couldn't help but asked: "Captain, what did the commendation telegram say?"
"Our independent regiment paid so much sacrifice to capture the leader of the Japanese Major General Brigade. If this is placed on the Central Army, the independent regiment can at least be expanded into an independent brigade, and it may even be expanded into an independent division. It will also be rewarded with many oceans.
!”
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "Dayang, don't think about it!"
"Chongqing is now eager to deduct all the monthly military pay from our Eighth Route Army. How can it possibly give us a big ocean? Don't even think about such a dream!"
"Although there is no ocean, I think this award is more powerful than rewarding us with the ocean, and it will bring us greater benefits!"
"Although our independent regiment is the main force in the Eighth Route Army, in the eyes of Chongqing and the Shanxi-Sui Army, our independent regiment is not even a local army, let alone a member of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Facing the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army
I have to hide it when I'm in trouble, and it's called Tuba Road, which is very frustrating!"
"However, from now on, our independent regiment will have its own official establishment. When we face the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army, we will not only be able to hold our heads high, but also have our own military rank, and we will never be beaten by them again.
Look down upon!”
"According to the order, our independent regiment was officially reorganized into the Lingqiu Garrison Corps, and I served as the lieutenant colonel commander!"
"The activity area of the garrison is in Lingqiu, and the food, wages and equipment will be raised by yourself!"
"According to regulations, you battalion commanders will all have the rank of major from now on!"
None of the battalion commanders had as far-sighted a vision as Li Hao, and they couldn't imagine what Li Hao was thinking!
But they know one thing!
The Independent Regiment is now the well-deserved main force in the Eighth Route Army!
After the garrison regiment was reorganized, because the word "garrison" was added to the unit, it was obviously no longer related to the main force!
Although the garrison regiment is officially established, changing from a main force regiment to a garrison regiment is still a downgrade in their eyes.
So not only did their faces not show any smiles, but they looked very ugly, feeling aggrieved and angry!
Li Hao can see everyone’s thoughts at a glance!
In the face of a powerful enemy, what the troops need most is morale, unity, and the same hatred of the enemy. This telegram must not be affected!
Not only that, I also have to find a way to improve everyone's morale through this telegram, so that the good news can play its due role!
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Do you all look down on the establishment of the garrison?"
"Let me tell you, if you really think so, you are totally wrong!"
"With the official establishment of the Lingqiu garrison, we can develop Lingqiu into our base camp. The Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army will not even think about joining in!"
"In addition, Chongqing's order to our garrison is to raise our own food and equipment, which means that we can feed as many troops as we have, as long as we wear the hat of the garrison on our heads, even if we have as many guns as we have.
It’s no problem to develop ten battalions!”
"Although you will still be battalion commanders at that time, each of you can command several battalions and enjoy the experience of being a regiment leader!"
"Also, with the identity of the garrison regiment, when we face the Jinsui Army and the Central Army again in the future, we will have the official identity to talk to them on an equal footing!"
"If we rescue the original prisoners of war from the Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army in the future, the official status of the garrison will also allow us to recruit more recruits, and we will not be looked down upon by them!"
"Within the Eighth Route Army, even if we are called a garrison regiment, we are still the main force!"
"You must remember that we are the Eighth Route Army, not the Jinsui Army and the Central Army. Our military exploits only need to be recognized by the Eighth Route Army headquarters. It does not matter whether Chongqing recognizes it or not. Therefore, when the army reorganizes the garrison regiment, you do not need to regard it as a commendation, but as a reward.
Consider it a pleasant surprise!"
"After the army is reorganized, everyone should cheer me up. Don't change the name. The strength of the army will also be weakened. If you really regard yourself as a garrison, it will be a big joke! You can't afford to lose this person, and I, the commander of the regiment, can't afford it."
Can’t afford to lose it!”
"We must hold the hat of a garrison on our heads and display the combat effectiveness of the main force!"
"Then find ways to expand the troops and increase their strength!"
"When Chongqing thinks of our defense regiment in the future, we will surprise them with our strength!"
"Let them steal the chicken but lose the rice. I racked my brains to come up with this commendation order to restrict our development. By the way, I borrowed Japanese manpower to kill us directly in Lingqiu. In the end, not only did we not kill us, but we were forced to bear the burden of the garrison.
hat grew into something huge!”
Several battalion commanders are veterans of the Red Army. During the reorganization of the army, they were all demoted and used. They have had the experience of being demoted!
In their eyes, level is secondary, the most important thing is how many troops they can command!
The reason why they were angry just now was because they felt that Chongqing’s actions were too unfair!
I feel that my military exploits have not been recognized, and then I feel aggrieved!
So when Li Hao said that we were in the Eighth Route Army and our military achievements did not need to be recognized by Chongqing, we all woke up and looked at the victory report with less enthusiasm!
But as soon as you heard that the army had reorganized the garrison regiment, everyone would probably command several battalions of troops as a battalion commander, and your eyes became hot again!
Staring at Li Hao, he asked anxiously: "Captain, we will really be able to command so many troops in the future!"
"Definitely!" Li Hao replied confidently!
"If I can't do it, then I am not qualified as a regiment leader and have not developed the troops well!"
"But now there is a prerequisite. We must get through this difficult time!"
"As long as we win this battle, I believe we can usher in at least half a year of development!"
"This long time is enough to double our troops. At that time, let each person command two battalions to try his hand and see if he has the ability to be a regiment leader!"
