Chapter 504 Reorganization of the Independent Battalion (Part 2)
In the middle of the meeting, Tang Dao did not always act like he was a superior officer.
He took the initiative to take out a pack of Japanese cigarettes from his purse and called to Gu Xishui to pass them out to everyone.
Men are very strange creatures. Tobacco and alcohol, two poisonous substances, can bring people closer. This may be the same as when women discuss skin care products.
Not to mention these officers who were very familiar with Tang Dao, even the two company commanders of the security regiment who were most unfamiliar with Tang Dao also let go of their original restraint.
The atmosphere is very warm.
For example, Gu Xishui learned from the painful experience and raised the issue of protecting the medical team, which has almost no force value but is an extremely important department.
Nowadays, the Independent Battalion is not an infantry battalion in the ordinary sense.
With a stroke of his pen, Guo Junzuo allocated 7 medical staff and 30 stretcher bearers to them.
The death of Yao Meier during the retreat of the Japanese soldiers who were encircling them has become an eternal pain in Gu Xishui's heart. He does not want to see any of the medical soldiers who saved lives and injured fall on the battlefield.
If he hadn't been on the front line, I'm afraid he would have recommended himself to become the platoon leader of the medical team's guard platoon.
But some people are too enthusiastic.
For another example, Lu Sanjiang, who gradually matured on the battlefield, knew that he only had a cavalry platoon, and would never have many opportunities to face off against the Japanese cavalry on the battlefield. It was more for reconnaissance and rapid rescue, so he proposed to give all the cavalry platoons as much as possible.
Cavalry equipment binoculars.
Telescopes were a rare thing in this era. Not to mention that in the Chinese army, only battalion-level officers were equipped with them. Even in the Japanese army, only infantry squadron leaders were equipped with them.
But Lu Sanjiang is not just talking nonsense. In this seizure, which can be called a 'robbery', Tang Dao's advance team seized more than 25 intact Japanese telescopes, and some were broken, but even a
The 'monocular' one is easier to use than the naked eye, isn't it?
The Japanese are stingy with their infantry, but they are very generous with their artillery. Almost every artillery squad leader is equipped with a pair of binoculars.
The purpose is of course to hope that the artillery squad leader commanding a heavy artillery can see farther and shoot more accurately with the help of this thing.
It's just that this is a bit too taken for granted. Artillery has special range-finding mirrors, and the range is up to several thousand meters. A telescope that can only see hundreds of meters or even kilometers has a ball. In Tang Dao's view, for these
If the artillery squad leader has one of these, I'm afraid the effect of pretentiousness is far greater than the effectiveness of combat.
Tang Dao was really right about this.
The cavalry has horses and sabers, the infantry has guns and bayonets, but what does artillery have? Artillery just carries a bastard box on its waist!
As a highly valuable high-tech branch of the army, Japanese artillery officers at all levels, in order to show their prestige, finally settled on expensive telescopes.
He carries a cannon box on his waist, puts on white gloves, and hangs around his neck a telescope that only an infantry captain is qualified to wear. 13 The smell is so strong that it can be smelled miles away, right?
This is the same feeling as driving a luxury car and putting on a pair of sunglasses no matter how bright the sun is or even if it is night.
To put it bluntly, that's the taste.
Within a few days, the 6th Artillery Brigade commander who was equipped with 13 troops was completely wiped out by Tang Dao and the advance group, and more than 20 expensive telescopes became trophies.
Tang Dao sent rifles, pistols, machine guns, machine guns and all kinds of ammunition to the brother troops who left, except for the telescope.
It’s not that he is stingy, but he knows that binoculars are no better than guns and bullets, and they are useless if given away. Only the chief officers of each division, brigade, regiment, and battalion are equipped with this thing. You, a company commander, can still hang a telescope in front of the officers.
Are you embarrassed in front of me?
It didn't take two days, and it was probably taken back by the division headquarters and distributed to high-level officers for use, so it would be better to keep it for yourself.
Tang Dao has already thought about it. All officers above the rank of captain in the independent battalion will be assigned one to each person. There are also some special units, and they will also be assigned as much as possible.
Of course, this includes some extremely excellent precision shooters, as well as cavalrymen like Lu Sanjiang who are positioned for battlefield reconnaissance.
It's just that Lu Sanjiang's appetite is so big that it's surprising that he eats ten things every time he opens his mouth.
Tang Dao hasn't even expressed his position yet, and all the officers have their mouths curled up, "Hey, the cavalry is more powerful, but we infantry are not worthy of it, right?"
"If you don't have ten weapons, you can give me five." Lu Sanjiang followed Tang Dao in sneak attacks for several nights. He didn't learn much else, but he learned enough about the attitude of 'asking for a high price and paying back on the spot'.
"Get lost! What I'm talking about now is the reorganization of the independent battalion. What are you talking about with me about equipment distribution?" Tang Dao slapped the table angrily.
"Moreover, you are so sure that you are still the cavalry platoon leader? I want to set up a baggage company, and you, melon, happen to know how to raise horses. I think it is very suitable to be the deputy company commander of the baggage company. In order to make it easier for you to find
Ma, I will definitely give you a telescope."
At this moment, Tang Dao has completely integrated into this era, and his tone of voice is becoming more and more like a leader of this era.
"Sir! I was wrong!" Lu Sanjiang instantly became a good boy.
If it were anyone else, Lu Sanjiang might still dare to be stubborn, but Tang Dao, ever since he saw Tang Dao kill the Japanese cavalry major who chopped off the veteran squad leader with his own eyes, he swore not to go against Tang Dao.
Not fear, but gratitude!
Just like when I heard that he and a cavalry platoon were ordered to be transferred to Tang Dao's command, although he was a little confused, he was more of a surprise. That was the commander he was most willing to follow in his life.
Perhaps, in his subconscious mind, only a strong man like Tang Dao can avenge his brother!
Killing the Japanese was as crisp and clean as his stunning sword.
Seeing that Lu Sanjiang had died down, Tang Dao also stopped the discussion and let these officers express their opinions. Tang Dao expressed his respect for them, but it did not mean that they would affect his decision.
The real opinion was that he had already discussed it with Lei Xiong, Guo and Zhuang last night and had a rough case.
Originally, according to the ideas of Lei Xiong and the others, they didn't need to ask anyone to give any opinions, they could just announce it directly. With such a mountain of military orders, who dared to object?
These three are all from the old army. Of course they don't know that there is "democratic centralism" in this world. Let everyone talk about their ideas. If they want democracy and Tang Dao makes the decision, then it is naturally centralized.
The decision to do this, even if it did not achieve the goals of some of them, allowed them to express their thoughts in advance without feeling that they were not taken seriously.
Just like the two company commanders of the security group, although they were a little timid, they finally expressed their thoughts when everyone else expressed their opinions. Even if they were actually organized according to the instructions of Deputy Battalion Commander Guo,
At least they can tell the grassroots officers of the security corps that I fought for you, just for the sake of reorganization, and I must wrong you.
This is the difference between the new army and the old army. It may not be so straightforward, but the seeds of unity are planted subtly.
More importantly, Tang Dao wants them to get used to this method, so as not to get used to it when they go to that place.
Everyone needs to feel respected. At least for now, the atmosphere of the first military meeting of the independent battalion is quite good.
"I know everyone's opinions. I have completed the basic structure of the independent camp. I announce it!" Tang Dao, who had been writing in his notebook for a while, slowly stood up.
"Brush!" All officers stood up.
Waiting with bated breath for Tang Dao's decision will affect the interests of everyone here.
"The independent battalion will establish 4 infantry companies, artillery companies, air defense and fire support companies, baggage companies, and special agent companies, a total of 8 company-level units. Among them, the infantry company has three infantry platoons, and the artillery company has three artillery platoons.
The platoon, the air defense and fire support company has three fire platoons, the baggage company has three baggage platoons, and the special agent company has the cavalry platoon, guard platoon, communications platoon, and health platoon. Each company-level unit has about 150 personnel. In addition,
, set up a special operations team, the team will be established at the deputy company level!" Tang Dao finished reading and looked at everyone.
"Do you have any opinions on this preparation?"
This time it is even less likely that anyone will jump out to object.
The superior had already respected them and allowed them to express their opinions. Now that the superior has made a decision, wouldn't it be contrary to the superior to express opinions again?
Besides, there are a lot of positions to set up 8 company-level units and one deputy company-level unit. What they are most concerned about now is those people who are in these positions, not which units have been established.
"No objection, then I will now announce the independence of the battalion commanders. However, this is not made by Tang Dao personally, it is decided by the Jiashan Frontline Command." Tang Dao nodded and shouted softly: "Jiashan Frontline
Order from Commander-in-Chief Wu of the Headquarters!"
