Chapter 347 Cadres supported by the headquarters, reported by Zhou Weiguo
September 25, 1940.
Nanyu Village in front of Jiangshuichuan, the main campus of Kangda University.
A group of more than thirty cadres transferred from the Anti-Japanese War set out from Qiannanyu Village at starry night. Under the cover of local armed forces, they passed through layers of blockades by the Japanese army and arrived at Wangjiayu Village in Wuxiang County, where the Eighth Route Army headquarters is located.
These more than thirty cadres were specially selected by the deputy general staff from the main campus of the Anti-Japanese University and added to the newly established cadre regiment of the Tainan Military Region.
Among them, Zhou Weiguo is the leader, and the rest are battalion and company level cadres.
The students at the Anti-Japanese University are mainly patriotic young people, but there are also a large number of front-line combat commanders who return for further studies.
These cadres selected by the Deputy Chief of General Staff are all cadres who have fought many battles on the front line and have rich combat experience.
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy chief of staff spoke to everyone in person.
"Principal He should have made it clear to you before you came to the headquarters, right?"
After the deputy chief of staff finished speaking, everyone nodded.
Everyone was a little excited. This year, cadre transfers were extremely frequent.
Not to mention the small transfers within each military region, just like the headquarters, in the name of learning, asking each military region to recommend a group of key personnel to study at the anti-Japanese university branch where they are located.
As we continue to learn, some students will be transferred from the school. The number of students who can actually graduate from the Anti-Japanese University and return to the original army is at most half of the original number.
"Three new cadre regiments have been established in the Tainan Military Region. The new soldiers have been recruited, but there is an urgent shortage of cadres. Before you entered the school, you were the backbone of the troops in the Taihang base area. The organization hopes that after you arrive in Tainan, you will actively play a role in bringing the new cadres into service.
Stand up for the established team!"
"Of course, although it is a basic regiment, the basic regiment in Tainan is very different from the basic regiments in other base areas. After you go there, you don't have to worry about weapons and equipment. After you go, you only need to organize the soldiers for normal training.
Just let the troops form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!" said the deputy chief of staff.
The deputy chief of staff gave a few brief instructions and asked the guards to take the students down to rest, leaving Zhou Weiguo alone.
"Comrade Wei Guo, we originally agreed with Zhou Weihan that you would study for half a month and then report to the Tainan Military Region. However, it has been twenty days now and Zhou Weihan has urged me several times!"
"Chief of Staff, I have benefited a lot from studying at Kangda University this time. If it hadn't been for the orders from my superiors, I would have really wanted to stay at Kangda University until graduation!"
Compared with when he was in the national army, Zhou Weiguo may have experienced more things. He was not as sharp as before, but was a little restrained.
"Alas, there is really a shortage of cadres everywhere. This time you will serve as the director of the staff department in the Tainan Military Region. This is different from when you were the regiment commander in Hutoushan. You may rarely fight on the front line in the future. You
Be mentally prepared!”
"Chief of Staff, don't worry. Since my superiors asked me to be the Chief of Staff, I will do my job well and maintain good relations with the comrades in the Tainan Military Region!"
On the same day, the cadres supporting the Tainan Military Region set off from the headquarters again, and there were more than 40 more people in the team.
In the afternoon, escorted by a company of the Second Regiment, everyone arrived at Yamawang Mountain.
Zhou Weihan did not expect that the headquarters would be so supportive of the Tainan Military Region, so he waited at the new corps camp at the foot of the mountain early in the morning.
"Comrades, welcome, welcome!" Zhou Weihan stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.
A group of people went up the mountain. Zhou Weihan asked the monk to arrange the food and accommodation for the comrades first, and Zhou Weiguo was left alone again.
"Detachment leader, these are the files of the comrades that the chief of staff asked me to hand over!" Zhou Weiguo asked guard Huzi to hand over a file box.
"Comrade Weiguo, I have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. You know that there are few in the Eighth Route Army who can handle tanks. In the next period of time, you will be responsible for the training of the tank company and let the tanks
The Che Company is on the right track, and I will ask Chief of Staff Xing to familiarize you with the work of the Staff Office!"
"Before you came, Lao Xing had a lot of work to do. Now that you're here, you can share it with him!" Zhou Weihan said.
"Yes, I understand!"
After a brief chat, Zhou Weihan asked Tian Defu to take Zhou Weiguo down to rest.
Zhou Weihan carefully browsed the personnel files alone, which contained detailed resumes.
The number of support personnel this time, excluding Zhou Weiguo, totaled 76, divided into three categories.
In the first category, there are 15 frontline commanders, 15 military and political cadres each, 6 battalion-level cadres, and 24 company-level cadres, which is exactly the configuration of a regiment.
Most of these people held deputy positions in the army before the war. According to the principle that graduates from the Anti-Japanese University were promoted to at least half a rank, deputy companies were promoted to full companies, and deputy battalions were promoted to full battalions.
The second category of personnel is the artillery backbone drawn from the headquarters artillery regiment, with a total of 40 people.
The third category consists of three cadres specially transferred from the Taihang Administrative Region by political commissar D to be responsible for the economic construction of the base area. One of them used to work in a bank in the border area.
Zhou Weihan's teeth were exposed after reading everyone's profile. Being close to the headquarters and division headquarters has the same advantage. As long as you have the nerve to reach out to your superiors, you can always get some benefits.
Zhou Weihan picked up the phone at the headquarters and shook it: "Hey, let Chen Feng answer the phone!"
"Detachment leader, what's going on?" Chen Feng asked on the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter? Good thing! Come to the headquarters!" Zhou Weihan hung up the phone after saying this.
Chen Feng came to the headquarters with a confused look on his face. Zhou Weihan rarely looked for Chen Feng. What good thing could he do to find the artillery battalion?
After the artillery battalion was established, apart from large-scale operations, they stayed on the Yama Mountain for training all day long.
"Detachment leader, what's the good news?"
"The artillery you asked for is here. The commander specially selected it from the headquarters artillery regiment. This is their file. Study it!" Zhou Weihan said, pointing to the files on the table that were divided into categories.
"Really?" Chen Feng was not slow in his skills. He picked up the files on the table and read them one by one.
"Great, I have been worried to death during this period. Some of the new recruits were too slow to get started. The original ammunition handlers were forced to train as gunners. Within two or three months, they could not form combat effectiveness at all. Now
Okay!" Chen Feng said excitedly.
"Where are the people? Where are the people?"
"Follow the monk to the dormitory in the back mountain!"
"Why don't we go to the back mountain? I'll take you directly to the camp of my artillery battalion. I'll serve you delicious food and drinks!"
The personnel problem of the artillery battalion was temporarily solved. Chen Feng left happily. Zhou Weihan was still thinking about one thing.
Zhu Dashan had also approached Zhou Weihan before and told him about the problem of the cavalry regiment having too few horses.
Zhou Weihan also mentioned this to the head of the headquarters, but the head had nothing to do.
The larger base areas of the Eighth Route Army all have their own cavalry units scattered here and there, and most of them are still in the wild.
Only the Central Hebei Cavalry Regiment and the Southern Hebei Cavalry Regiment were fully formed, while the Tainan Cavalry Regiment could only be regarded as a semi-finished product.
Now is not the difficult period in the future when the cavalry will be converted into infantry. At this time, the development of the Eighth Route Army base areas is generally very good and can fully supply the daily consumption of the cavalry.
Wouldn't it be a waste of flesh to transfer precious cavalry? No army would be happy to do so.
However, Zhou Weihan also had a solution. He couldn't contact the Central Hebei Cavalry Regiment and had no acquaintances, but there were some in southern Hebei.
I have just rescued a large number of cadres from southern Hebei for you. It is not too much for your southern Hebei Military Region to support some cavalry of the brother troops!
