Since it involved the reorganization of the troops, the originally planned party committee meeting was expanded to include battalion-level officers and cavalry company commander Ma Shuai, guard company commander Zhou Qing and others.

Each battalion and even the chief officer also reported the strength statistics of each base area to the regiment party committee to facilitate coordination at the regiment headquarters.

After several months of development, the strength of each unit has returned to what it was before the May Day raids, and has been strengthened. The population and territory of the base area have increased a lot, which is what Chuxiong expected when he originally laid out the plan.

Liuzhen was the foundation, and then through several peripheral base areas, it continued to expand outwards, steadily and steadily. By the time the Japanese reacted, it had grown into a behemoth.

Chief of Staff Zhong Guoliang first informed the participants at the meeting of the strength statistics reported by each unit:

"Comrades, since the central topic of this enlarged party committee meeting is the new phase of troop reorganization, I will first inform you about the strength of each battalion and company, so that everyone has an idea in mind;

The first battalion has 1,642 men, more than 2,500 long and short guns, 3 infantry guns, 13 mortars, 8 Wei Yixiao cannons, and 12 rocket launchers;

The second battalion has 1,850 people, more than 3,000 long and short guns, more than 30 cannons of various types, and 13 rocket launchers;

Third Battalion, 1,586 people...;

Each battalion and company has a total of 12,865 people, with more than 18,000 firearms of various types, 152 cannons, 113 rocket launchers, 85 Wei Yixiao cannons, more than 800 grenades, and reserves of bullets and grenades, enough to support a medium-sized battle.

consumption.”

"The family background has been reported here. Now Comrade Chu Xiong will read out the reorganization plan of the Independent Regiment!"

After Zhong Guoliang finished speaking, he sat down and waited with others for Chu Xiong to speak.

Chu Xiong didn’t waste any time and went straight to the point:

"Comrades, in order to meet the new needs of struggle, the Youth League Party Committee has decided to adjust the establishment of the Independent League. I will now report the adjustment plan to the Youth League Party Committee as follows:

1. The Independent 1st Company and the 2nd Independent Company were upgraded to the 5th Battalion and the 6th Battalion, with the battalion commanders being Tan Tao and Wang Tie respectively;

Second, the armed forces in several peripheral base areas were adjusted into three parts: main battalion, garrison company, and militia company;

The main battalion is a field force, and the garrison company and militia company are collectively referred to as local forces;

Third, the establishment of the main battalion is all standardized. Each infantry battalion consists of three standard infantry companies of 248 people, an artillery company of 180 people, and a cavalry platoon or reconnaissance platoon of 60 people. In addition, the total strength of the battalion headquarters is 1,100.

people;

The artillery and quantity of the artillery battery equipment are standardized, and all excess ones are transferred to the garrison battalion. The personnel and equipment of the garrison battalion are not fixed, and their task is to be responsible for the defense of the base area, with the militia company assisting;

4. The Fourth Battalion is responsible for the defense of the Liu Town base area and no longer has a garrison battalion. Each village soldier company is controlled by the garrison battalion directly under the regiment. At the same time, the Fourth Battalion and the guard company serve as the general reserve team, under the unified command of the Fourth Battalion Commander Chu Dapeng;

5. The regiment belongs to the artillery battalion and the cavalry company's organization remains unchanged;

Sixth, the regiment belongs to the garrison camp, and the teaching brigade is permanently stationed in the old camp, under the unified control of the garrison battalion commander He Zhenhua, and I concurrently serve as the captain of the teaching brigade;

Cadres of each battalion must undergo three months of training in the teaching brigade before being promoted, and they can be promoted only after passing the assessment;

Each battalion selects some squad leaders to participate in one-month backbone training in the old camp every quarter, and each backbone must participate in training at least once a year;

The Tigers Special Operations Team was expanded to 150 people and organized into a special operations brigade. It has three special operations squadrons of 48 people. Each squadron has three squads of 16 people. The special operations brigade is organized into the main battalion. The brigade leader is Comrade Chen Xiaohu.

.

Seventh, the main battalions and even the equipment are also standardized and standardized, and the specific configuration plan will be issued to each unit at a later date.

After the reorganization was completed, the regiment had seven infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, one cavalry company, one guard company, one field hospital (temporarily located in the old camp), one special operations brigade, plus a regiment headquarters of more than 200 people, with a total strength of 8,800.

remaining people;

The more than 1,200 instructors and students in the teaching brigade are not part of the main force.

Local troops include regiment-affiliated garrison battalions and garrison companies in various base areas, with a total strength of approximately 6,000 people;

The militiamen will not do statistics for the time being, lest the Japanese find out our background.

The above plan shall be submitted to the Youth League Party Committee for review!”

The next agenda was presided over by Comrade Gao Wancheng, which mainly involved democratic evaluation and review of the plan submitted by Chu Xiong in accordance with the principle of democratic centralism of the party committee;

In the end, the five standing committee members and four members of the Youth League Party Committee held a show of hands vote, and finally unanimously approved the plan.

As soon as the meeting ended, Chu Xiong said to Gao Wancheng:

"Lao Gao, it's rare for everyone to gather together like this today. You, the big butler, have to treat us. It doesn't matter whether the food is good or not. You have to take care of the wine!"

The others immediately started to boo when they heard this, especially Yan Haoyu, Li Qing, Zhang Hao and others. Now their chances of returning to the Liu Town base area are getting less and less;

They are all battalion commanders who stand alone, and they are all old brothers who have followed Chu Xiong all the way from the Seventh Company in the past. The relationship between them has gone beyond the relationship between comrades. When they get together, they must have a good relationship.

Unconsciously, the independent regiment also formed several small hills. The first and largest hill was naturally the old seventh company, the commanders of the first, second, third and fourth battalions and the guerrilla battalion captain Yan Haoyu, the cavalry company Ma Shuai, the garrison battalion commander He Zhenhua,

Guard company commander Zhou Qing and special operations brigade captain Shitou and others;

Almost all of them are the squad and platoon commanders of the old Seventh Company who survived the battle at Xiaowangzhuang. They are all veterans who fought with Chuxiong all the way. The life-and-death relationship between them cannot be summed up by the word "revolutionary friendship". If you want them not to

It is also difficult to form a mountain top.

The second hilltop is the personnel supported by the headquarters. They are headed by political commissar Gao Wancheng, including joint logistics director Wang Xingguo, deputy director of the political department Wang Junjie, artillery battalion commander, fifth battalion commander, sixth battalion commander, and communications section chief Zhao Paner, etc.;

This force is not weaker than the previous one, and they have a high starting point and have the say of the Youth League Party Committee, while the Old Seventh Company holds the real power position of the battalion-level chief officer;

It can be said that each has its own advantages and is evenly matched. This fully demonstrates the foresight and foresight of the boss when he mixed the sand with the sand, and his efforts are in place.

Of course, there is an invisible third hill, which is the 200 backbones pushed over by the brigade commander, headed by Chief of Staff Zhong Guoliang. These people occupy more than half of the company and platoon-level positions in the main battalion. This is also incredible. After all, they lead troops.

They are the ones who are the most important, so in terms of mixing sand, the brigade commander is no weaker than the boss.

Now the three hills of the entire independent regiment occupy the right to speak at the high, middle and low levels respectively. They cooperate with and restrain each other to achieve a dynamic balance. Even if Chu Xiong has any bad intentions, he cannot lead the troops.

Member of the Standing Committee of the Youth League Party Committee, four votes to one;

Although he holds a large number of main battalion commander positions, more than half of the company and platoon commanders are supported by the brigade commander. Everyone follows the organization to fight the Japanese. The three strands of the rope can definitely be twisted together to form a joint force, and there is no need to talk about the rest!

Fortunately, Chu Xiong can have the final say about drinking.

"Comrades, let's do it for the rise of China!"

Chu Xiong picked up a large glass of wine

"Done!"

"Done!"

…

Gao Wancheng, Zhong Guoliang, Wang Xingguo, Li Qing, Yan Haoyu, Wang Tie...
Chapter completed!
