After the expansion of the new second regiment, each battalion began vigorous training.
The foundation for a good soldier or a strong soldier is to eat well. The daily food consumption was calculated by Ding Dabacus, the great steward, and he trembled with distress.
Finally, Zhou Weihan said to Ding Abacus: "Only when the soldiers eat well and have strong physical strength, can they fight the Japanese. It's not just some food. If we don't have it, we can buy it or rob it from the little Japanese."
"It takes a few days for the soldiers to eat meat, and the money will not be used to generate money. You are the big steward of the whole regiment, and you have to do a good job in logistics support."
In this way, Ding Abacus went to the surrounding villages from time to time to purchase supplies, but this was far from enough to meet the consumption of the soldiers. In the end, it was Li Da who was so capable that he started doing business with the landlords and puppet troops in surrounding counties.
Today I use the guns eliminated by the New Second Regiment in exchange for a few big fat pigs with the landlord, and tomorrow I use the ocean to buy vegetables and poultry from the city through the puppet army.
During this period, Zhou Weihan would occasionally convene cadres at the battalion, company, and platoon levels to hold study classes to learn the six major tactical principles of our army:
One point and two sides, three-three system, three fierce, three situations and three ways of playing, four fast and one slow, four groups and one team. (I'm not familiar with it, just search it yourself)
"What I said above must be combined with the actual situation on the battlefield and used flexibly. The battlefield is ever-changing. As a military commander, being too dogmatic will harm not only you, but also the comrades around you."
The individual quality of the three-three system tactical warriors is extremely high, but this does not prevent Zhou Weihan from teaching it in advance. You can learn in practice, practice while fighting, and practice while fighting.
There are three people in a combat team, one veteran leading two recruits.
The three-three system tactics were fully applied in the Korean battlefield. At that time, the logistics support, the popularity of military education, and the individual combat quality of the soldiers had reached a very high level after years of fighting, and the enemies were frightened by the news.
The most typical one is a battle in 1962. "The enemy not only refused to surrender, but also dared to attack us."
Zhou Weihan knew very well that if the New Second Regiment defeated the strong in the next battle with the Japs, they would have to give full play to all their advantages, use strong leadership, organizational skills, scientific and reasonable methods, and the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice.
, can be achieved, and these elements are not something that the New Second Regiment can possess in a short time.
Zhou Weihan knew the details of the New Second Regiment very well. The weapons and equipment had reached the current extreme. The first battalion of military cadres had the sharp knife company as the backbone, and the second and third battalions had the guard platoon as the backbone. The quality of the military cadres was not low.
The main shortcomings of the New Second Regiment are that there are too many new recruits who have joined the army, their combat qualities are uneven, and their coordination capabilities are poor.
In this regard, Zhou Weihan pointed out the next training strategy of the New Second Regiment to avoid going astray.
Cadres at the squad and platoon level must understand the use of mortars, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns.
Understand simple shooting principles, be familiar with weapon performance, and be able to disassemble and troubleshoot.
In terms of tactics, understand the selection of positions, transfer of positions, and the coordination of firepower and movement.
On this basis, cadres at the battalion and company levels study the enemy's tactics and our army's tactics, and summarize the experience and lessons of their own unit's combat and military education.
The instructors of each battalion must do a good job in ideological work of the soldiers and hold educational meetings from time to time.
In this way, every day of the New Second Regiment passed with enrichment. From time to time, Chen Feng's artillery battalion would be pulled out to engage in coordinated infantry and artillery operations with each battalion.
In the early days, Zhou Weihan's affairs were also very cumbersome. Later, the departments gradually got on the right track, and Zhou Weihan was happy to be a hands-off boss.
Zhou Weihan drank some wine at noon that day and was taking a nap.
It's a good life without a political commissar. You can do whatever you want. There's no political commissar around to recite a tight spell for you.
When Li Yunlong started doing some side business, the political commissar reported him to the brigade headquarters.
At this time, the correspondent from the regiment headquarters brought a telegram.
"Commander, there is a telegram from the brigade headquarters," the correspondent said cautiously.
"read"
"Captain, you'd better see it for yourself," the correspondent said a little embarrassed.
"You can read it if you are told, otherwise why would I need you as a correspondent?" Zhou Weihan said a little unhappy because his nap was interrupted.
"The brigade commander said in the telegram, I congratulate you, Zhou Weihan, I heard that your boy has made a fortune."
"You kid has learned how to hide it now. Do you think you can hide it from me?"
"Tell me honestly how much you got this time?" the correspondent said.
After Zhou Weihan heard this, he became excited and woke up from drinking. He thought something bad was wrong, and he came to attack the local tyrants.
The correspondent paused for a moment, then Zhou Weihan asked: "No more?"
"Oh, the brigade commander finally said in the telegram that he asked the regiment commander to take the things with him and go to the brigade headquarters in person."
"Damn, why are my eyes always twitching these days? Who the hell are you trying to snitch on me?" Zhou Weihan complained a little.
When it came to complaining, Zhou Weihan really didn't dare. Zhou Weihan had never seen any regiment-level commander of the 386 Brigade dare to challenge the brigade commander. After all, even Li Yunlong was submissive to the brigade commander.
With so much money seized, Zhou Weihan originally planned to send it to the brigade headquarters in person, but the new Second Regiment had just been expanded and it was really inseparable, so it was delayed.
Fortunately this time, the brigade commander came to the door, and Zhou Weihan couldn't clean himself up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Go and find Ding Abacus." Zhou Weihan said to the correspondent.
"yes"
Not long after, Ding Abacus arrived in a hurry.
"Captain, what do you want from me?" Ding Abacus said cheerfully, his face glowing red.
"Abacus, you have been living a more prosperous life recently than me, the regiment leader, and you are doing well in your side job." Zhou Weihan had just finished being criticized by the brigade commander, and when he looked at Ding Abacus, he felt a little unbalanced.
"Captain, judging from what you said, it's not like your leadership is good. Our new Second Regiment has strong soldiers and horses. Who among the surrounding landlords and puppet troops won't give us some sympathy?" Ding Dababaan said a little confused.
"Okay, stop flattering, count how many oceans and gold bars there are, I want to send them to the brigade headquarters." Zhou Weihan said.
"What, Captain, our brothers paid for this money with their lives!" When Ding Abacus heard this, he was cheerful just now, but his face suddenly changed.
"I have rebelled against you, Ding Dabacus. Do you still have the discipline of the Eighth Route Army? All seizures must be returned to the public, don't you know?"
"Captain, I didn't say I wouldn't give it, isn't it because I can't bear it?" Ding Dabapan's instigating energy suddenly appeared.
"Isn't it just some money? As long as the team is here, sooner or later the bank accounts of the little devils in Wuyi County will be mine, and you won't be able to count them all by then," Zhou Weihan said.
"Commander, the thousands of kilograms of gold and ten boxes of jewels seized have not been touched at all. We spent about 4,000 yuan on doing business with the puppet army and landlords, and now we have more than 620,000 yuan left." Ding Dayang listened.
Zhou Weihan’s words are reported truthfully.
"All the gold and jewelry will be handed over. Dayang will take out 500,000 and prepare them. I will take them to the brigade headquarters tomorrow." Zhou Weihan ordered.
"yes"
"Get ready to go"
Zhou Weihan then asked the correspondent to call Jing Dagang, Wu Qin and others.
"I'm going to the brigade headquarters tomorrow. Dong Jiang, please send one of your security platoons to go with me to the brigade headquarters."
"Captain, is one guard platoon enough? Our cavalry company's bones are almost rusty just from training recently. Otherwise, our cavalry company can escort you!" Zhu Dashan said eagerly.
"The current mission of your cavalry company is training, and there are no other missions." Zhou Weihan quickly dismissed Zhu Dashan's idea.
He didn't want the cavalry company to send it to the brigade commander before it was warm in his hands.
"After I leave, Jing Dagang will be in charge of the work of the new second regiment. He will take charge of everything. Do you understand?" Zhou Weihan said seriously.
The next day, Zhou Weihan, Dong Jiang and soldiers from the guard platoon rode toward the brigade headquarters on war horses, mixed with more than 20 pack horses.
