Chapter 192 Four Divisions
Author: Awkwardness
The three regional teams in southeastern Shanxi are under dual leadership and management by the Prefectural Committee of the Southeastern Shanxi and the 344th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
However, most of the main forces of the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division are in the Jinzhong area, and there is no main force in the entire southeastern Jin area, so the three regional teams in the southeastern Jin are basically managed by the Southeastern Jin Prefectural Committee.
In order to enable Zhao Xin to establish a solid foundation in southeastern Jin, the headquarters can manage the Eighth Route Army troops in the entire southern Jin.
The three teams in the southeastern Jin were directly reorganized into the first district strengthening regiment of the Taiyue Military Region. The reinforcement regiment was newly organized, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the Eighth Route Army in the southeastern Jin had to obey Zhao Xin's transfer.
Now the Eighth Route Army is relatively rich. As long as the regular main reinforcement battalion is equipped with corresponding small radio stations, the three regional teams in the southeastern Shanxi have completely reached the strengthening of the business system. At the same time, they are only three of them who have strengthened the battalion-level system when entering the southeastern region. Therefore, the headquarters naturally has equipped them with radio stations so that they can contact their superiors in a timely manner.
On the way to southeastern Jin, the headquarters had already passed the order to the three regional teams in southern Jin. The three regional teams also quickly completed the reorganization and quickly became the first battalion of the new unit, the second battalion of the fourth division strengthening regiment of the Taiyue Military Region.
After a day and night!
Zhao Xin successfully arrived at the new first battalion of the fourth division of Taiyue Military Region. The predecessor of the new first battalion was the Nanping Regional Team.
The Fourth Division Strengthening Group Headquarters was located in the newly formed first battalion. This time, only Zhao Xin came to the southeastern part of Shanxi, so Zhao Xin was the leader and instructor of the Fourth Division.
Instructor Zhao Zhilong, the commander of the newly formed first battalion, Wang Tiangang, enthusiastically received Zhao Xin in the battalion headquarters. After dinner, Zhao Xin called all the battalion commanders and instructors of the newly formed first battalion to the Fourth Division Regiment Headquarters. This regiment headquarters was the battalion headquarters of the former newly formed first battalion, but when the front line arrived, it became the regiment headquarters of the Fourth Division.
Zhao Xin looked at Zhao Zhilong and asked in a plain tone: "Battlefield Commander Zhao! I have just arrived in the southeastern Shanxi area and am not very familiar with the new first battalion of the 1st battalion of the 4th Division. Let me introduce to me the specific combat structure of the three battalions below the 4th Division, and also the specific situation of local armed forces below the 4th Division."
Zhao Zhilong said respectfully: "Report to the regiment commander! There are now three main battalions in the fourth division, namely the newly formed first battalion, nine infantry companies and one guard platoon, a total of 1,120 people, nine infantry companies and one guard platoon in the new second battalion, and nine infantry companies and one guard platoon in the new third division. The local armed forces have 3 county brigades, six district squadrons, and a total of 2,127 people. These data are counted by the Eighth Route Army in the southeastern Jin two days ago, and are also the real data we are now entering the fourth division of the southeastern region."
Zhao Xin continued to ask: "How about the main battalion and local armed weapons and equipment?"
"Report to the regiment commander! Our newly formed first battalion has two grenades, one heavy machine gun, six light machine guns. There are 807 rifles in total, 80% of the battalion have weapons, and the equipment is quite good. The equipment of the new second battalion is slightly worse than that of ours, and the equipment of the new third battalion is slightly worse than that of the new second battalion.
The local armed forces are much worse. The number of county brigades is basically over 200, and 50% have rifles. Some county brigades will have a light machine gun. The number of district squadrons is about 80 people, and more than 40% of people basically have rifles. The number of district brigades is about 30 people, and more than 30% have rifles."
Zhao Zhilong reported to Zhao Xin in detail the specific situation of the fourth division, without any concealment.
Instructor Wang Tiangang said with a smile: "Captain! I have heard of your name for a long time. You have the title of King of Hell and the title of God of Killing among the Japanese. The Japanese are afraid that you will die. You have the title of God of Wealth and the title of Master of Weapons among our Eighth Route Army. Our Eighth Route Army all admire you very much.
This time you came to our southeastern Jin. It seems that the Eighth Route Army in the southeastern Jin is about to take off. The Eighth Route Army in the southeastern Jin is very scarce, especially the ammunition is very lacking. I wonder if the private park has brought us some weapons and equipment?"
"Since I have arrived in the southeastern Jin and have become the leader of the fourth division in the southeastern Jin and also serve as the instructor of the fourth division, I will definitely solve the weapons and equipment of the fourth division."
Zhao Xin said: "A large number of weapons and equipment are already on the way to transport. It should be arrived in the past two days. At the same time, there are also a lot of food coming with weapons and supplies. The soldiers in the fourth division are not even sacrificed to fight the Japanese. I, the commander of the fourth division, must do a good job in the logistics support of the soldiers. You don't have to worry too much about these. You just need to prepare for the weapons and supplies."
Zhao Zhilong said: "Captain, I don't know how many weapons and materials there are in total this time? Our newly formed first battalion is definitely the main force among the main forces of the fourth division. I wonder if the leader can give us more weapons and materials in one division. If we have food, we can give us less."
Zhao Xin provided a large supply of weapons and materials from northwest Shanxi and northern Shanxi, which also led to the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi and northern Shanxi, which was not short of various materials at all. The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in the two regions naturally increased rapidly.
The Jinzhong region borders northern Shanxi and southern Shanxi, so both the Jinzhong region and southern Shanxi region can obtain some supplies of weapons and materials. The conservative army in these two places is not very poor, and the lack of weapons and ammunition is not very serious.
But the southeastern Shanxi region of Shanxi is particularly uncomfortable, because the southeastern Shanxi region neither borders the northwest nor the north of Shanxi. It can be said that it is a three-no-reliance zone, and it is difficult for the Eighth Route Army to transport weapons and supplies to the southeastern Shanxi. This also led to the life of the Eighth Route Army in the southeastern Shanxi's life being very hard.
Zhao Xin exchanges weapons and supplies from the system. The system can successfully transport weapons and supplies to the destination, and the system can ensure that the transportation of weapons and supplies is not affected at all. However, the difficulty of transporting weapons and supplies of the Eighth Route Army has been greatly improved, and it is not as easy as Zhao Xin to exchange various supplies in various places.
Zhao Xin said: "The weapons supplies that the three main battalions can obtain are the same. Each battalion will get 6 heavy howitzers, 12 large-caliber artillery, 24 mortars, 48 grenade launchers, and 12 heavy machine guns and 24 days of light machine guns. Then each battalion will form an AK47. Each battalion will form an artillery battalion based on three infantry battalions, and the guard card will be directly expanded into a guard battalion. All the equipment eliminated by the main battalion will be given to local armed forces, allowing local armed forces to quickly increase their combat effectiveness."
Zhao Zhilong said: "Captain! Is this material a little too much? The number of people in each main battalion is not very enough. If we want to form three infantry battalions, plus one artillery battalion, and a guard battalion, we don't have enough manpower at all. I'm afraid we will recruit some troops from local troops to enter our main battalion."
"The county brigade, district squadron, and district squadron have all pulled half of the troops to join the main battalion. At the same time, the main battalion has set up an stance to start recruiting large-scale soldiers in northern Shanxi. Each unit must be expanded to at least 3,000 people in one month. I will supplement you with the lack of weapons and ammunition."
Zhao Xin said: "At the same time, when the people around him join the Eighth Route Army, they can receive 100 kilograms of grain subsidy every year, and when they join, they can also receive 200 kilograms of grain subsidy. I believe that if this condition is conveyed, coupled with the reputation of our Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, there should be many people participating in our Eighth Route Army."
Zhao Zhilong said: "Regiment Commander! If we want to issue food subsidies, coupled with our Eighth Route Army's reputation in Shanxi, I am absolutely sure to expand the army to 3,000 in one month. The battalion commanders of other main battalions must be absolutely sure, but have we done this? You must know that until now, our Eighth Route Army recruits soldiers, there has never been any food subsidies. Now, the newly recruited soldiers will be given food subsidies in violation of the spirit of the superiors, and the second is that it will make the veterans feel a little dissatisfied. These are very serious problems.
Zhao Xin said calmly: "Veters in the southeastern Shanxi can also receive 110 kilograms of food subsidy every year. After all, they did not receive food subsidy when they joined our Eighth Route Army. Now they are already veterans, so they naturally have to give more food subsidies, so that there should be no problems with the veterans.
Also, our Eighth Route Army will give food subsidies to soldiers, which is equivalent to giving military expenditure to ordinary soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. I have discussed this with my superiors and will conduct a pilot operation in the southeastern region of Shanxi. When our Eighth Route Army completely liberates the entire Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army will become completely stronger, we will allow the entire Shanxi conservative army to obtain food subsidies, so you don’t have to consider the affairs of the superiors. You just need to follow my orders to execute it."
Zhao Zhilong said: "Since the leader said this, I have no objection. I will strictly follow the command of the leader."
"Well! We must establish the prestige of our Eighth Route Army in the southeastern region of Shanxi as soon as possible. Don't worry about the Japanese army coming to cause trouble for us. If the Japanese army dares to cause trouble for us, we will have a real battle with the Japanese army."
Zhao Xin said confidently: "On my territory, I have never been afraid of the Japanese encirclement and suppression. There is no need to recruit soldiers only within the base area. You can also go to other places outside the base area. If there is Japanese harassement outside the base area, just tell me, and I will lead the troops to solve the problem for you."
Although Zhao Xin came to the southeastern Jin alone, the Iron Wolf Special Forces Squadron under his command had already rushed to the southeastern Jin. In just one or two days, these two special forces squadrons were able to successfully arrive at Zhao Xin’s place.
With two powerful special operations squadrons, if the Japanese army dispatched a large squadron, Zhao Xin was completely confident that he could easily wipe out the other side. Even if the other party dispatched a gang of troops, Zhao Xin would gather the troops from the fourth division and still be able to completely wipe out the other side.
There were not many Japanese troops in the southeastern Jin, and there would definitely not be more than three regiments in total. Therefore, Zhao Xin was not afraid of the Japanese troops entering the southeastern Southeast. He hoped more that time would be for him to encircle and suppress him so that he could first deal with some of the Japanese troops.
Although Zhao Xin knew that there were less than three Japanese troops in the near southeastern region, Zhao Xin really didn't know where these cases were distributed.
Zhao Xin asked Zhao Zhilong: "I have just been brought to the southeastern Jin! I don't know much about the distribution of the Japanese army in the southeastern Jin. Please explain to me in detail the distribution of the Japanese army in the southeastern Jin and the distribution of the puppet army."
Zhao Zhilong said: "Captain! There are 12 counties and 89 towns in the southeastern Jin. The main forces of the Japanese army are basically stationed in counties and towns. As for the villages, there are no Japanese troops stationed at all. The Japanese army has about three regiments in the southeastern Jingdong area, totaling more than 9,000 people. Each county has about 800 Japanese troops! Several Japanese troops are equipped with some puppet troops to defend? The puppet army has three mixed brigades in the southeastern Jin. Each mixed brigade has more than 3,000 troops, and the total army exceeds 10,000. Each mixed brigade controls about 3 to 5 county towns. Most of the main forces of the mixed brigade are in towns, and only a very small number of troops form a sharp contrast with the Japanese army in the county town."
Zhao Xin said: "I have basically understood the situation in the southeastern Jin area. I have nothing to ask you. Do you have anything to say? If there is nothing else, then you can go ahead first."
"Captain! Since you have nothing to do, I will say goodbye."
The battalion commander and instructor of the newly formed first battalion left the regiment headquarters directly.
After the two left, Zhao Xin fell into deep thought. According to the rules he has set now, he can fully expand the army to more than 10,000 people in one month, so that he can easily complete the tasks assigned by the deputy commander-in-chief, but just completing the tasks assigned by the deputy commander-in-chief, Zhao Xin felt that it was a little bit unscrupulous. He felt that he should do something in the southeastern Jin, so that he could live up to the deputy commander-in-chief and send him to the southeastern Jin to perform the tasks.
Zhao Xin thought for a while, and he made a decision directly, that was to start with the puppet army in the southeastern Jin. Now the puppet army in the southeastern Jin can be said to be very afraid of the Eighth Route Army, and even dare not take the initiative to attack the Eighth Route Army. The reason is very simple, that is, the situation in Shanxi has changed, and the Eighth Route Army is becoming more and more powerful. At this time, they will continue to fight against the Eighth Route Army. When the Eighth Route Army fights, they will have no way to die.
Zhao Xin thought that if he could strategy to counter the large number of puppet troops and let a large number of puppet troops eliminate a large number of Japanese troops, the Eighth Route Army would be able to develop more rapidly in the southeastern region of Shanxi, and this was also a good way to weaken the Japanese army.
