Chapter 736 The difficulties of a big family and a big business!
"We will talk about how to divide the four infantry companies later. First, take a look at the organization list to see if there is anything wrong with it." Tang Dao could only change the subject.
It's not that he doesn't want to give Lei Xiong face, but that now that Lei Xiong has face, the other two future infantry battalion commanders may have ideas, why are we stepmothers?
Lei Xiong could only accept the piece of paper handed over by Tang Dao helplessly. He knew that if he missed this time, he, the second person in the Four Elements Group, would have no chance to use the back door for the second time.
But obviously, for Tang Dao, the highest officer, being impartial and as fair as possible is what he needs to do most at the moment. At least half of the current Si Xing Regiment are from the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army.
If you want to fully integrate them, the most convenient and quickest way is fairness.
“The establishment of the regiment headquarters: there are four departments including staff, munitions, military law, and military medicine. The director of the fourth department is a captain or major and is responsible to the chief of staff;
Troops directly under the regiment headquarters: Special Agent Company, which has a communications platoon, a medical team, and an engineer platoon, with a strength of 120 people;
The guard company has 3 guard platoons and a fire support platoon, with a strength of 180 people; mainly equipped with submachine guns, supplemented by shell guns and rifles!
The cavalry company has 4 cavalry platoons, with a strength of 182 people, and is equipped with seventy-nine lances, sabers, etc.!
The special operations squadron has 3 official special operations squads and 3 reserve squads, with a staff of 60 people and equipment of your choice!
The first artillery company has four artillery platoons, with a strength of 200 people. It is equipped with four 75mm mountain guns and four 150mm mortars. The packhorse carts are equipped according to actual needs.
The Second Artillery Company has four artillery platoons, a strength of 200 people, and is equipped with 4 37mm combat anti-cannons, 6 double-mounted and single-barreled machine guns. Packhorse carts are equipped according to actual needs.
The baggage company has four baggage platoons, with a staff of 200, and equipment of 120 pack horses and 40 carts.
Troops under its jurisdiction: three infantry battalions. Each battalion has three infantry companies and one machine gun company. Each company has an establishment of 160 people. The troops directly under the battalion are also equipped with one platoon each for communications, medical, and security. The personnel shall be subject to the actual establishment. .
The machine gun company is composed of two heavy machine gun platoons, each with three heavy machine gun squads, and each squad is temporarily equipped with one Maxim heavy machine gun; there are two mortar platoons, with each platoon having a mortar squad. Three, each squad is temporarily equipped with one Type 20 82mm mortar, a total of 6 heavy machine guns and 6 mortars.
The formal staff establishment is about 150 people, and in case of war, 50 civilians can be added.
The infantry company consists of three infantry platoons, and the infantry platoon has three infantry squads. Each squad has 1 sergeant squad leader, 1 sergeant deputy squad leader, 1 sergeant precision marksman, 2 corporal machine gunners, and corporal There are 2 grenade launchers and 8 privates, a total of 15 people. The weapons and equipment are 9 official rifles per squad, 1 MP28 submachine gun, 1 twenty-shot shell gun, 1 Japanese grenade launcher, and Czech light machine gun. 1, and 4 Southern Type 14 pistols. Including the personnel directly under the company headquarters, the company's formal staffing is about 160 people." Lei Xiong read softly the rough staffing list written on the Tang Dao paper.
Lei Xiong had a toothache from reading it.
Judging from this organization table, Tang Dao has made the biggest change to the infantry company.
The re-establishment of the traditional machine gun company is to take back the heavy machine guns and mortars that were transferred from the four-row battalion to the infantry company. The infantry company will return to the light infantry company format, and the heavy firepower will be deployed by the battalion headquarters.
This disadvantage is that the infantry company lacks heavy firepower and lacks the heavy firepower to suppress the Japanese army alone. However, this also increases the mobility of the infantry company. The infantry company no longer has to carry heavy machine guns and mortars, which is more beneficial.
For mountain operations, the Japanese infantry squadrons were also equipped with light machine guns and grenade launchers but no heavy machine guns for this reason.
But this does not mean that the infantry company will not have heavy weapons. The machine gun company directly under the command of the battalion headquarters has 6 heavy machine gun squads, 6 mortar squads, and 12 heavy firepower squads. The organization is flexible and can be completely customized according to the battlefield.
The situation is mobilized under the command of the battalion headquarters, and the infantry company can also be temporarily mobilized when performing combat missions of attacking fortresses or difficult defenses.
Innovation has its benefits, and tradition has its advantages. It must be determined based on the actual situation.
Now it is no longer the independent battalion with thousands of men, all combat tasks have to be completed by four infantry companies, but the infantry battalion is the main force, and the heavy firepower is deployed by the battalion headquarters. This is actually the most reasonable.
Lei Xiong fully agreed with Tang Dao's idea.
But what made Lei Xiong's teeth ache the more he read, was that Tang Dao's heart was not as big as usual.
Based on his experience in the army for such a long time, he couldn't see how big the army would be if it were organized according to Tang Dao's organization chart?
What kind of standard regiment organization is there? If the three infantry battalions under its jurisdiction are turned into infantry regiments, this cliff will be an infantry brigade, right? And it is the kind of large infantry brigade that can almost be compared with an infantry division.
Gu Chu
Tang Dao's regimental headquarters alone is more complete than many infantry brigades.
What kind of 75-caliber mountain cannon and 150-caliber heavy mortar does an average infantry brigade have? Only the infantry division level can have those things, let alone an infantry regiment.
"Sir, your idea is good, but the establishment of our regiment is 2,500 people! Not to mention anything else, just three infantry battalions will take up nearly 2,000 people, so there is still extra establishment
There are so many troops directly under the regiment headquarters!" Lei Xiong said with a grimace.
Although it is not a veto, Lei Xiong's meaning is also very direct. The number of staff is the biggest flaw.
The Ministry of Military Affairs has given you 2,500 people. Doesn’t it mean that if you exceed the limit, it will do something to you? If you don’t report it, who will know?
But the hundreds of more troops will not be registered with the military department, and the military expenditures issued by the military headquarters are only based on 2,500 heads. The annual military salary gap alone is tens of thousands of oceans, not to mention other military expenditures.
Considering the current financial situation of the independent camp, no matter how good the idea is, we can’t all drink from the northwest wind together!
To put it bluntly, it’s money!
The army is the biggest gold-eating beast in the world. Whenever the troops and horses move, countless gold and silver will go to fill the big hole.
"Haha, just tell me how my organization looks like. You don't have to worry about money." Tang Dao didn't care at all.
"Of course that's good. As long as you, sir, deploy the personnel and equipment according to this staffing structure, I can fight an infantry brigade of the Japanese army with just one infantry battalion. Not to mention our entire regiment, we can also fight with an infantry regiment."
, even if you don’t play any ambush with the little devil!" Lei Xiong replied with great confidence.
"Okay, I'll just wait for what you, Brother Lei, say." Tang Dao grinned, showing his white teeth. "Then let's basically make this decision. Don't worry too much about whether you have money or not. The roads are all made by people. Let's go
The road left the Japanese with nowhere to go!”
Come again, Lei Xiong couldn't help but wipe his hands with cold sweat.
"Also, don't you have a headache about the positions of your brothers? If our regiment's organization is slightly larger, will there be more positions?" Tang Dao smiled in his eyes. "When the time comes, the brothers who can fight will go to the front line.
The troops, which are slightly lacking in this aspect, are not the auxiliary troops such as baggage trains, engineering troops, and communications, but they are all there to help fight the Japanese!"
"That's okay, that's okay, then it's settled." Lei Xiong suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.
The independent battalion currently has only about 2,100 personnel including the seriously injured soldiers who have not yet recovered. Due to the transformation from a battalion to a regiment, there are as many as 19 company-level troops, which is more than the 15 company-level troops that were previously absorbed after the Exorcism Group was absorbed.
4 came out.
what does that mean?
This means that there are 4 more company levels, 4 deputy company levels, 12 platoon levels, and 36 squad leader positions. This does not include the additional staff officers, military supplies, military doctors, Military Law Division IV, and Political Training Division under the General Staff Department.
, the vacancies in key departments such as the three battalion headquarters, if these are included, it may be difficult to place a hundred people, but there will be no problem for seventy or eighty people.
Until now, there are less than 40 old brothers in Sihang Camp, and outstanding guys like Li Jiujin, Lao Hei, Yang Xiaoshan, Gu Xishui, and Niu Er have been promoted a long time ago, so there is no need to worry about them at all.
There are only about ten people in the position who are still at the rank of non-commissioned officers. Where can we put so many vacancies? How can we accommodate them.
Finally, he and Lei Xiong completely reached an agreement. Looking at Lei Xiong's leaving figure, Tang Dao rubbed his brows and finally settled this not-so-thorny but very important matter first.
As his position got higher and higher, and there were more and more soldiers under his command, Tang Dao finally realized how difficult it was for him to be the captain back then. The bigger the team, the more thoughts he had. If he wanted to twist everyone into a rope, he couldn't
If you act recklessly based on your own ideas, even though you are all subordinates, you still need to communicate more. All consensus is obtained through constant communication and mutual compromise.
Of course, any compromise must have a prerequisite-fighting the Japanese army to the end, this is Tang Dao's bottom line.
Just like he could even tolerate the old monkey opening the market in public, in the past, those who had this bad habit would have been kicked out of the army.
But in this era, Tang Dao must learn to accept their various shortcomings.
Because they live in the darkest era of China, with an illiteracy rate as high as 90%, and many people don’t even know what China is!
However, Tang Dao still believed that they would become the best soldiers of this era, even if they were still illiterate later on.
This can be regarded as another kind of progress of Tang Dao in this time and space!
