The first person to bear the brunt is Qian Dazhu.
This new recruit of the Sichuan Army was just a first-class soldier before the Songjiang Defense Battle. Who would have known that he would be promoted one level after a battle, from a first-class soldier to a sergeant, and then to a second lieutenant after the Battle of Cangcheng. After the battle, he would be annihilated.
During the battle of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, he suddenly became a lieutenant.
Of course, rising in military rank several levels in a row is due to his outstanding military exploits. Whether it was the street battles in Cangcheng or Songjiang or the battle to annihilate the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade, Qian Dazhu's achievements were nowhere to be seen, even if they were like riding on a rocket.
, and no one said anything.
However, to directly serve as the commander of an infantry company with the rank of lieutenant, and also the commander of the second infantry company, his position is still higher than that of Li Jiujin who has been following Tang Dao. This is a bit too awesome, and it also shows that Tang Dao has
Its incomparable importance.
Moreover, judging from Tang Dao's choice, what he valued was not his military qualifications or the length of time he had been with him, but his performance on the battlefield. The four major infantry company commanders, except Leng Feng, were promoted from former army lieutenants.
Yes, the other three people, including Li Jijin, were still big soldiers before the war.
Yes, even though this appointment list was issued in the name of Guo Junzuo, everyone knew that this must be Tang Dao's choice.
Even Zhao Daqiang, who once served as Lieutenant General Liu Yuqing's personal guard, was directly promoted from the guard platoon leader to the commander of the 4th Infantry Company without any nepotism. Zhao Daqiang led his guard platoon to annihilate the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade.
In the battle, Lian Ke moved around and captured 6 machine guns with one platoon, which was an absolute fierce force.
The reason why he and Major Peng Chong, commander of the Xinke Special Agent Company, were not able to attend this meeting of the Independent Battalion was because they were still staying in the 67th Army Field Hospital.
Both of the two tough men were injured. One was shot in the arm and the bullet was still embedded in the bone. The other was bitten by shrapnel on the buttocks and lost half a kilogram of flesh.
As a result, these two people actually managed to hold on without letting stretchers carry them for a short twenty kilometers. As soon as they arrived at the defense line, they were ordered by Tang Dao to be rushed to the field hospital. Otherwise, perhaps these 'minor injuries' would not have killed them at that time.
He died of wound infection and it was too late to cry.
Therefore, although they were absent from the meeting, there were still many appointments that should have been made.
In addition to Qian Dazhu, Lu Sanjiang and Gu Xishui are definitely two "red men" of Tang Dao. One serves as the cavalry platoon leader and also serves as the deputy commander of the special agent company, and the other directly becomes the captain of the special operations team directly under the battalion headquarters.
, Tang Dao has already mentioned that the level of the special operations team is deputy company level, which also means that Gu Xishui will be promoted to Army Lieutenant at any time, and more importantly, he will be under Tang Dao's personal command.
The power Tang Dao displayed in the small-scale harassment battle against the Japanese 36th Infantry Brigade in the wilderness was obvious to all. With his personal guidance, the role of this special operations team was obvious.
Being able to fight under the eyes of an officer will mean he has a lot of military exploits. What about Gu Xishui's future future? If he can't handle it well, he will be promoted even more than several infantry company commanders.
These three are definitely the new stars of the independent battalion. Even though they are just lieutenants and second lieutenants now.
Of course, in addition to the three of them, some other newly promoted lieutenants who did not come to the meeting were also reused.
For example, Heizi, the powerful machine gunner, originally had been reserved by Cheng Tieshou as the leader of the machine gun platoon, but Tang Dao transferred him to the special operations team as the third captain.
Another example is Sergeant Mo Songzi, who was poached by Tang Dao from the 67th Army and killed a Japanese reconnaissance balloon. After this battle, he was promoted to second lieutenant and became the heavy machine gun platoon leader under Cheng Tieshou.
Or, Taozi, the only surviving communications soldier under Qian Dazhu, also served as the platoon leader of the communications platoon of the special agent company because of his heroic performance in this battle.
There are so many things, and Tang Dao's appointment letter completely expresses a central meaning. Those who have made meritorious service during the battle will be promoted and reused. This is an obvious boost to morale.
As for whether anyone is dissatisfied, of course there are still some, such as the newly appointed chief and deputy company commanders of the baggage company.
The baggage company is a logistics unit in both the Chinese and Japanese armies, and is considered the second line.
From this moment on, they basically no longer serve as the chief officers of the front-line combat troops, and their meritorious service and awards are naturally much worse than others.
But then again, it is not certain whether their true inner wish is to go to the battlefield and fight for their lives. At least from the equally serious expressions on their faces, it is impossible to tell their mood at the moment.
Maybe, it’s not necessary to be overjoyed.
But in general, basically everyone has roughly the position they want, and most of their worries are relieved.
The rest is naturally a question of how to reorganize the troops. It depends on which plan Tang Dao chooses.
"Okay, according to the military orders of the commanders at all levels, the appointments have been completed. Everyone, please sit down!" Tang Dao pressed his hand down and took the lead to sit down.
All the officers then sat down and looked at Tang Dao expectantly.
In particular, the chief officers of the three infantry companies, the artillery company and the anti-aircraft fire company are all professional players, and they are destined not to change much.
For example, Pang Pang Hai's artillery company consists of only a few remaining mortars and two 92 infantry guns captured from the Japanese army. It will not reduce its personnel but only increase its personnel. The additional personnel are most likely to be from the original security regiment.
The artillery company not only has 6 mortars but also artillery.
In fact, this person is the one who has the most peace of mind. Otherwise, would the tall Shandong Fat Paper smile so warmly? Would he still be willing to smile and smoke to his colleagues after sitting down?
Cheng Tieshou's air defense fire support company is basically the same. Three twin machine guns, two MG34 machine guns, and the remaining six Maxim heavy machine guns, including the four heavy machine guns that came with the security group, are what he has in his pocket.
, he will never be short of equipment and personnel.
There is no need to worry about the baggage train. They only need to worry about whether they can read numbers and whether they can raise and drive horses.
Naturally, the only ones with enthusiastic eyes were the three Xinke infantry company commanders, who were most concerned about personnel arrangements and equipment.
"The guard platoon of the special agent company is mainly composed of the guard platoon of the original security battalion. The short-term personnel are recruited from the Songjiang Security Regiment with outstanding performance. The number of personnel is tentatively set at 40 people, the communication platoon is 16 people, the medical platoon is 20 people, and the cavalry platoon is
Keeping the existing staff unchanged, there will be 22 people;
In addition to the guard platoon, all members of the special agent company are equipped with rifles and submachine guns, the communications platoon, and the medical platoon are all equipped with a Southern Type 14 pistol. The cavalry platoon follows this rule.
The artillery company is composed of the original artillery platoon of the Garrison Battalion, the artillery squad of the Fourth Battalion, and the artillery company of the Songjiang Security Regiment. It has 150 personnel and is equipped with two Type 92 infantry guns and six Type 82 mortars.
The air defense fire support company is composed of the heavy machine gun platoon of the former security battalion, the heavy machine gun squad of the Fourth Battalion, and the heavy machine gun company of the Songjiang Security Regiment. It has 150 personnel, 3 machine guns, and 6 heavy machine guns.
The baggage company is composed of former officers and soldiers of the Songjiang Security Regiment, with 150 personnel, 200 pack horses, and thirty carts. The soldiers are equipped with Type 38 rifles, and those above the sergeant squad leader are equipped with Southern Type 14 pistols. Each baggage platoon is equipped with Czech style
A light machine gun.
The infantry company is composed of the three infantry companies and the guard company of the original guard battalion, two infantry platoons of the four-row battalion, and all remaining personnel of the Songjiang Security Regiment. It has 150 personnel, infantry squads, and infantry platoon firepower composition. The original firepower configuration of the guard battalion remains unchanged.
The company headquarters added a mortar squad and a heavy machine gun squad, each equipped with two 82 mortars and a Maxim heavy machine gun.
All specific personnel allocation lists will be drawn up by deputy battalion commander Lei Xiong for the infantry company, deputy battalion commander Guo Shouzhi for the artillery company and air defense fire support company, and chief of staff Zhuang Shisan for the special agent company and baggage company. You will each inform the original
My subordinates will report to their respective new companies in the afternoon. The meeting is dismissed!"
After Tang Dao finished speaking, he waved his hand to chase people away, pretending not to see the bitter faces of the officers.
He has made it very clear, and also clarified the division of labor among his three deputy battalion commanders.
Lei Xiong was later in charge of the infantry company, Guo Shouzhi was in charge of artillery and fire support, and Zhuang Shifan was in charge of logistics.
"Also, at noon, there will be an extra meal. Each person will have a can of canned meat, two white flour buns, and a bowl of rice. No wine!" Tang Dao added as the officials walked out.
.
This is a break-up meal!
All I can say is that this is a joyful and painful reorganization plan!
The organization of the four infantry companies was basically disrupted and reorganized, and the personnel changes were significant. The four infantry company commanders were scratching their heads, but some were also happy. Tang Dao lowered the mortars and heavy machine guns to the companies, which greatly enhanced the company-level heavy firepower.
.
The personnel of the artillery company and the air defense fire support company have not changed much. They have just been replenished, but the equipment is missing. Pang Dahai's artillery company is missing a few mortars, and Cheng Tieshou's fire support company is missing a few heavyweights.
Machine guns, the two most powerful MG34s are also gone.
On the contrary, the two people in the baggage company were the most happy. All of them had come from the security group, and the personnel were all very familiar with them. However, their original equipment was gone, and they were all replaced by long guns and pistols.
Everyone has lost and made up for it. No one is completely satisfied, but no one is completely disappointed.
The reason why the phoenix can reach nirvana is that it is not reborn from the ashes?
The same goes for the military!
If you are reluctant to let go of the past, you will not welcome the new.
If you want to quickly form a new army composed of several troops and knit them into a whole, it is necessary to break the comfort zone of familiarity.
