Chapter 182: Institutions at all levels of the independent detachment
That night, Zhou Weihan led his troops to Yamawang Mountain, and Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and other troops also arrived one after another.
Considering that the war was approaching, Zhou Weihan immediately ordered all regiments to be stationed near Yamawang Mountain, while the headquarters, military hospital, etc. remained at Yamawang Mountain as usual.
"Commander, political commissar, our garrison is looking forward to the stars and the moon, but we finally have the main force back!" Li Dajeng looked at Zhou Weihan and others with tears in his eyes and said.
"Li Da, I still understand your nature. No one from above is taking care of you. Isn't it just what you want?" Zhou Weihan joked.
"Commander, you don't know that the main force is not here and you don't have a strong backbone. When we retreated from Wu'an a few days ago, the Wu'an County brigade was handed over by a Kuomintang unit. More than 30 people were injured or killed.
If the troops under Isamu Terauchi had not taken action in time, the county brigade would have been in a much worse situation!" Li Dazhen said aggrievedly.
"What's the reaction from the Japanese army?" Zhou Weihan asked immediately. Although southeastern Shanxi is the territory of the national army, Shanxi is the base camp of the Japanese First Army, which is not comparable to the Japanese army in southern Hebei!
"Terauchi Yong means that the superiors asked the defenders in various places to shrink their troops and strictly guard their strongholds. It's quite like sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight!"
"That's good. It seems that Chiang Kai-shek still wants to save some face. As long as the Japanese army doesn't participate, the 97th Army won't be able to survive for long! Then the old and new accounts will be settled together!" Zhou Weihan said confidently.
The 369th Army of Shiyou is different from the 97th Army of Zhu Huaibing. The Third Army of Shiyou can be regarded as a local armed force, and he himself is a relatively independent small warlord. For colluding with the Japanese, Chiang Kai-shek can completely blame the Third Army of Shiyou.
The situation is different for Zhu Huaibing's department. He is a direct descendant of the Central Army, and in the end, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely be the one to blame.
"Monk, send a report to the headquarters, saying that our independent detachment, the 28th Regiment of the Central Hebei Military Region, and the 18th Regiment of the 386th Brigade have arrived in Wuyi and request for further instructions!" Zhou Weihan said.
Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang still live in the original old house, but this house has two rooms, with the main room in the middle, Zhou Weihan's on the right, and the monk and guard Zhao Gang on the left.
Xing Zhiguo, who had just finished handling the matter at hand, had to be arranged by Mr. Li to move to another room.
It was July, and fortunately we lived on Yamawang Mountain, which has a higher altitude, and there was a small breeze blowing in our face from time to time. A piece of mugwort was lit in the middle hall to repel mosquitoes.
Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang were lying on the mat across the dining table.
"Old Zhao, are you asleep?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"No, what's the matter?" Zhao Gang leaned sideways and rested one arm on the kang.
"Are you 26 this year?"
"Well, we are of the same age. You are 26, and of course I am 26 too! Why did you remember to talk about this?" Zhao Gang said.
"Do you have any contact with your family now?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"The current situation is in chaos, and Peiping is the base camp of the Japs. If something goes wrong, problems can easily arise. It is better to cause less trouble. What about you?" Zhao Gang said in a low voice.
"Your home is so close to Peiping and I haven't been able to contact you. My home is in southern Hunan. How can I contact you when it's so far away! But after hearing what you said, I feel much better!"
"You are a person who always looks for comfort from others, but it is not easy for you. You left home at the age of 19 and went to study in Peking. Seven years have passed in a flash!"
"Who says otherwise? You also know the situation in my family. My second brother, Zhou Weimin, left home early to join the revolution just like me. I also followed the same path. These two sons were raised in vain.
On the contrary, my eldest brother Zhou Weiguo was already the commander of the Central Army when I left home. He should have kept in touch with my family, but I just don’t know where he is now?" Zhou Weihan murmured to himself.
"Everyone has his own destiny. In your words, if you live with your head in your belt, you may die one day. If we beat the little devil away and we are still alive, we can go home and see!" Zhao Gang
I don’t know if this sentence is comforting Zhou Weihan or himself.
"hope so!"
Then the two talked about the internal affairs of the independent detachment.
"Old Zhao, after the new second regiment is upgraded to an independent detachment, the organizational structures at all levels should also be improved. First set up the framework, and then slowly add personnel!"
"The Political Department, Enemy Engineering Section, Propaganda Section, Telecommunications Section, Staff Office, and Logistics Department all need to hurry up!"
"Have you identified the personnel?" Zhao Gang asked.
"Old Zhao, if I have found a good idea, will I still discuss it with you here?"
"In my opinion, there is a shortage of people everywhere now. The position of director of the Political Department must be filled by you, the political commissar, and the chief of staff should be filled by Lao Xing. These are two key departments. The following political commissars have nothing to say about their abilities, but
The qualifications are not enough! They are all promoted in the same way, so if you promote this person, it is inevitable that other people will have opinions!"
"Comrade He Wensheng is still responsible for the enemy engineering department under the Political Department. He has done a good job during this period!" Zhou Weihan said.
"What about Li Da? He is now the leader of the regiment, and he also holds the position of enemy engineering department?" Zhao Gang asked.
"This is indeed a problem. He looks familiar to the little devil. He has always been responsible for it. I really wouldn't trust someone else to deal with Isamu Terauchi!" Zhou Weihan expressed his concerns.
"Ask Li Da's personal opinion tomorrow!" Zhao Gang suggested.
.....
Early in the morning, Zhou Weihan was brushing his teeth. The monk came over and took out a telegram from his pocket: "Commander, the headquarters called back yesterday. I saw that your house was destroyed, so I didn't disturb you and the political commissar's rest!"
Seeing Zhou Weihan glare at him, the monk quickly explained: "I have already asked the telegraph operator, and the headquarters called back and said that you should go to Licheng County for a meeting in the afternoon!"
"You flower monk, why do you smell like alcohol? Did you drink secretly last night?" Zhou Weihan said with a glare.
"Hey, Commander, you have a really good nose. Last night I was rummaging through the cabinet and happened to see two bottles of wine under the quilt. Xiao Li and we secretly took a few sips!" The monk smiled coquettishly and told the truth.
"The political commissar's guard is such an honest comrade, but you have led him astray!"
"Hurry up and notify several regiment leaders, political commissars, and... come to the headquarters for a meeting!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Commander, will Commander Ding inform you?" the monk asked.
"Forget it, they don't need it anymore, this is an internal matter of our independent detachment!"
...
Fortunately, the headquarters of each regiment were not far away. The communications squad was sent out and everyone arrived one after another.
Zhou Weihan saw everyone sitting down and said, "This is the first time since our new second regiment was upgraded to an independent detachment that everyone has come so completely!"
"Some of you here were brought by me from the 22nd Regiment, and some are also old members of the New Second Regiment. The New Second Regiment can become an independent detachment because of everyone's real swordsmanship and real guns fighting against the enemy!"
"Since the establishment of the independent detachment, it has moved to southern Hebei Province. Now the institutions at all levels are in urgent need of improvement. After a unified decision by the headquarters, the following appointments have been made!"
Before the meeting, Zhou Weihan, Zhao Gang, and Xing Zhiguo carefully considered the candidates.
"The director of the Political Department and the Director of the Staff Office are served by the Political Commissar and the Chief of Staff respectively. The officers of the Political Department are selected from the instructors in your four regiments and artillery battalions. After returning, they recommend two people. The Staff Office is selected from the combat staff of the regiment headquarters.
and the company commander, the number is still two!"
"Of course, the headquarters will not cut off the meat in vain. The twenty cadres brought by the chief of staff from the Anti-Japanese University will be replenished for you accordingly!" Zhou Weihan said while looking at the cadres of each regiment who were feeling pain.
The cultural level of these twenty cadres who graduated from the Anti-Japanese University is not to be said, but their struggle experience seems a bit immature to Zhou Weihan, so it is better to train them at the grassroots level.
"Lao Gao, we are not at a loss for this matter. Let's not talk about the replacement of people in the headquarters. The Political Department and the Staff Office have people from our Fourth Regiment. It will be easy to talk about anything when the time comes. We can also know in advance any gossip!" Si
Regiment leader Wang Yigong whispered to his political commissar Gao Zhiheng.
"Comrade He Wensheng, the chief of the Enemy Engineering Section under the Political Department, and Comrade Zhang Yuanlan, the chief of the Propaganda Section; as for the chief of the Telecommunications Section, Comrade Li Yunshan, who is currently recuperating in the hospital, everyone will get to know him in the future!"
"Commander, I have only arrived here not long ago. I am afraid that the position of the Propaganda Section Chief will be..." Zhang Yuanlan said hesitantly.
"Comrade Zhang Yuanlan, although you have not been with the independent detachment for a long time, your work ability is obvious to everyone, and you have experience in local work before. With your qualifications and abilities, you are fully qualified for the position of propaganda section chief."
"Yes!" Zhang Yuanlan responded.
"The Propaganda Section Officer is still selected from the twenty cadres of the Anti-Japanese University!"
Zhou Weihan had another intention in appointing Zhang Yuanlan as the head of the propaganda section. Her father, Zhang Fangyin, is now a military industry expert at the Huangyadong Arsenal and the deputy director in charge of production.
At present, the arsenal of the independent detachment is still at the level of a repair shop. As long as Zhang Yuanlan is retained, it will be more convenient to deal with Zhang Fangyin in the future.
"Comrade Li Xianshu will serve as the director of the military hospital!"
"The reconnaissance company is expanding, and the alliance must fully support it. The number of people is uncertain, and Dong Jiang will still serve as the company commander!" Zhou Weihan had promised Dong Jiang at the beginning, and he would naturally not forget it.
After Zhou Weihan finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed. This was a real cut, and those who could join the reconnaissance company were definitely experts from each regiment.
Dong Jiang stood up at the right time, held his fists in his hands and said, "Everyone, please support me!"
Zhou Weihan left his words here, and the group leaders did not dare to stop him on their faces, but they would definitely make small moves in private. How many people he could recruit depends on Dong Jiang's ability!
"Guard company commander Yang Bo, the supply battalion directly under the headquarters will be temporarily managed by the chief of staff!"
"Zhu Dashan, I heard that you took away the horses captured by each regiment? How many people are there in the cavalry company now?" Zhou Weihan asked with a smile.
"Report to Commander, the cavalry company currently has 432 horses and 502 soldiers. Commander, there are many people and equipment, but there are few horses!" When Zhu Dashan heard Zhou Weihan mentioning himself, he understood that he was going to be promoted, and he also smiled.
said.
"The cavalry company was upgraded to a cavalry battalion, with battalion commander Zhu Dashan and instructor Xu Xiaodong!"
"Yes, Commander!" Zhu Dashan and Xu Xiaodong stood up and saluted with a military salute.
"The composition of the artillery battalion remains unchanged!" Zhou Weihan said with a suppressed glance at Chen Feng.
"Chen Feng, don't have any ideas about this matter. It is said that the current number of artillery pieces in the artillery battalion can be enough to form an artillery regiment, but you also know the situation of our Eighth Route Army..." Zhao Gang, the political commissar, said in a timely manner.
He opened his mouth and explained.
"Commissar, I understand!"
The artillery battalion is the most important combat unit of the independent detachment. Chen Feng dares to say that it is the first, but no one dares to say that it is the second.
In normal times, when a regiment commander is making extra money, he should not think about artillery camps. He just wants to ask for more artillery support when fighting. Chen Feng is very satisfied with this.
"Abacus, how is the production in the base during this period?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"Commander, if you don't say anything else, just look at the garrison. The soldiers are all wearing new uniforms, and their faces are glowing. After the main force has left, the soldiers of the garrison can eat an egg every day.
, eat a meal of meat every three to five!" Ding Abacus said proudly.
"Well, that's great. Comrade Ding Dabapan serves as the head of the logistics department and is responsible for all production in the base area!"
When Ding Abacus heard this, he shouted with joy: "Commander, you can rest assured if you leave this to me, I will definitely take care of this family!"
"That's it for personnel appointments. After the meeting, the headquarters will issue a notice to each regiment! Your positions here have been improved than before, but I hope you will not forget your original intention to join the revolution and dare to violate discipline in the future.
, breeding warlord style, let alone political commissar, I will not spare you!" Zhou Weihan finally said.
