After Li Yunlong led everyone to the entrance of the village, he left a guard behind and asked Staff Officer Zhong to also ride a horse. After all, the formation of a new battalion later required Staff Officer Zhong to be present.
Soon, Li Yunlong, Staff Officer Zhong and a guard left first on horseback.
"Commander, why did the brigade commander suddenly give us so many weapons?" Staff Officer Zhong asked while riding.
The brigade commander is not usually so generous.
"I plan to raise a fourth battalion, and these guns are the support given by the brigade commander." Li Yunlong didn't hide it and said it directly.
"Why are we building a battalion? Our regiment has a lot of people." Staff Zhong said in a daze.
Compared with other regiments, the new regiment is already a reinforced regiment, and its firepower is very fierce, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than other reinforced regiments.
"It's only three battalions. It's nothing. The brigade commander has already agreed. For this fourth battalion, the brigade commander asked me to recruit a thousand people." Li Yunlong disagreed. According to his idea, five Thousands of people are not many.
"Can our group support a thousand people?" Staff Officer Zhong said in shock. A thousand people are already a small group. He thought he would only recruit a few hundred people.
"Don't worry, we can afford to support a thousand more people, but we don't have that many weapons." Li Yunlong said, Xinyi Tuan is very rich now.
The other groups can only barely fill their stomachs, but the new group can eat meat every now and then. The difference is not that big.
"Who will be the commander of the fourth battalion?" Staff Officer Zhong asked. To form a new battalion, it is necessary to select the cadres well, from the battalion commander to the squad leader.
Squad leaders can be selected later, but cadres above the platoon level must be selected in advance.
“The brigade commander attaches great importance to the new battalion. He told me to train the fourth battalion well, otherwise he will kill me.
So, this fourth battalion must be trained well. I plan to let Song Qian and his deputy battalion commanders be the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander," Li Yunlong said.
In his opinion, the commander of the fourth battalion must be Song Qian. It does not mean that the commanders of the other two battalions are not qualified, but if they go to the fourth battalion to be the battalion commander, , then the original camp will have to pick people up from below.
And he has seen that if the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander are transferred from the other two battalions, none of the company commanders below will be qualified, either incompetent or lacking in experience.
But the first battalion is different. The second company commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, has outstanding abilities. The other two company commanders admire Zhang Dabiao very much. In this way, it is just right for Zhang Dabiao to manage the first battalion. No one will be dissatisfied.
As a regiment leader, it is also extremely important to select a commander. It is most suitable for Song Qian to be transferred to the fourth battalion commander in every aspect.
"Who does the battalion commander want to be Zhang Dabiao?" Staff Officer Zhong said. After thinking about it, it seems that Zhang Dabiao is more suitable to be the battalion commander. From the perspective of ability alone, Zhang Dabiao It is indeed more suitable than the other two company commanders.
"Well, it's Zhang Dabiao. He has very good abilities. It's not suitable to stay in the position of company commander. I am forming a battalion. In fact, to a certain extent, it is also based on Zhang Dabiao's ability.
If Zhang Dabiao is not capable, I will not tell the brigade commander that I am building a battalion," Li Yunlong explained.
There are many twists and turns in reorganizing a battalion, and there are also problems in selecting cadres. The most important thing is to transfer other battalion commanders to serve as battalion commanders in the new battalion. The original battalion, Someone has to stand up for it.
If the people below him were incompetent and he dared to do this, Brigadier Bao Buqi would really kill him. It was because of Zhang Dabiao's ability that he dared to do this.
"In this case, it's okay. Song Qian and his deputy battalion commander are very capable. If they are transferred to the new battalion, they can be regarded as promotions." Staff Officer Zhong nodded.
The new camp will recruit thousands of people. Being the battalion commander in the new camp is naturally considered a promotion. All you need to do is train the people.
Of course, the new battalion will also transfer people from other battalions to cooperate with them for training. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the new battalion to quickly become combat effective.
"In short, let's finalize some of these things first, and recruit people first for the rest." Li Yunlong said, if they don't recruit all the people, it's all empty talk.
"That's all we can do." Staff Officer Zhong nodded, and then said, "But recruiting a thousand people is not that simple. I guess we have to leave the base and continue to recruit outside."
p>All the people in the base area and the new regiment that can be recruited have been recruited. Now if they want to continue recruiting people, they can only go to villages outside the base area to recruit troops. Otherwise, it will not be so easy to recruit a thousand people.
“I understand that we may have to go deep into the villages on the other side of the enemy-occupied area to recruit people, which is still somewhat dangerous.” Li Yunlong said, the enemy-occupied area means that we may encounter enemies at any time. To the Japanese, the risks involved can be imagined.
“Let’s take another look. If possible, don’t go too far. It’s safer to go to the villages on the edge of enemy-occupied areas to recruit troops.
If anything happens, We can also lead people to retreat as soon as possible without causing casualties." Staff Officer Zhong said, if someone is recruited, he will be killed by the Japanese before he reaches the base area. It will be difficult to explain to those families.
"Yes." Li Yunlong nodded.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Yunlong and Staff Officer Zhong returned to the entrance of Heluo Village.
"Xiao Zhan, ask someone to notify the battalion commander to come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting. By the way, ask the battalion commander to bring Zhang Dabiao with him." Li Yunlong dismounted and said, appointing Zhang Dabiao as the battalion commander. This matter must be said in front of other battalion commanders.
"Yes" Xiaozhan nodded and quickly went to inform people.
Li Yunlong then entered the village with Staff Officer Zhong, and Deputy Commander Qian rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
"Captain, the brigade commander must be very happy to see so many supplies this time." Deputy Commander Qian came up and said.
The brigade commander must be very happy to have so many weapons delivered to the brigade headquarters.
"Of course, the brigade commander smiled so hard that his ears stretched out from the corners of his mouth. When he touched the infantry cannon, it was like touching his little wife." Li Yunlong also laughed.
"Haha" Deputy Commander Qian was also happy. If the brigade commander could do this, it was time to capture a good weapon.
"Old Qian, let me tell you good news. Before I came back, I discussed with the brigade commander about setting up a new battalion, and he agreed." Li Yunlong said.
"If we create a new battalion, who will be the battalion commander or deputy battalion commander?" Deputy Commander Qian asked.
"Let Song Qian go directly. As for the new first battalion commander, I have already selected a candidate, and that is Zhang Dabiao." Li Yunlong said.
"It is indeed appropriate to let Zhang Dabiao be the battalion commander." Deputy Commander Qian nodded. Zhang Dabiao's strength is obvious to all. Among these companies, Zhang Dabiao's company has also developed. The fastest.
"Of course, in addition to this good news, there is another good news, that is, the killing of the captain of our new regiment has been published in the Yan'an newspapers." Li Yunlong said slowly.
Compared with the matter of building a new battalion, deputy commander Qian will probably be happier if the new regiment is published in the newspaper.
"It was reported so quickly." Deputy Captain Qian was stunned. He thought it would be later.
"No, here's the newspaper for you." Li Yunlong took out a newspaper from his arms and handed it to Deputy Commander Qian. He got the newspaper from the brigade commander.
Deputy Leader Qian quickly picked it up and read it.
“On the front page, this time our New Group has a big face.” Vice leader Qian saw the New Group’s information on such a large cover, and he was so happy that he couldn’t open his mouth from ear to ear. When his comrades met, he boasted a lot. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
