Within a few days
The brigade commander personally brought the relevant automobile troops, communications troops, baggage troops, gunnery divisions and other personnel to the defense force station.
Li Yunfeng accepted the kindness of the division commander [optional for self-employment], but in view of the lack of talents in the 18th Army, he only selected ten skilled backbones to join the army.
At that time, the National Defense Force had completed its reorganization, taking the company as a unit, and consisted of two infantry companies.
The two company commanders are Zhang Dabiao and Li Kuan respectively. The headquarters also has two directly subordinate artillery platoons, one of which is equipped with three M2 105 howitzers; the second platoon is equipped with six M1 81mm mortars.
Two infantry companies, each with three infantry platoons and an artillery squad; the artillery squad is mainly equipped with two M1 81mm mortars.
Each platoon has three infantry squads and one heavy firepower squad. The heavy firepower squad has two MG42 general-purpose heavy machine gun groups.
There are ten people in the squad, one captain and one deputy squad leader. They have one ZB26 Czech light machine gun and nine M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles!
The company has a total of 168 people and 21 military trucks! From this, an unconventional motorized army force with heavy firepower was formed.
In addition, Li Yunfeng's General Headquarters directly administers a comprehensive department, which consists of six functional departments directly under the cavalry section, directly under the artillery section, directly under the baggage section, directly under the security section, directly under the ordnance industry section, and directly under the staff section.
Responsible for managing the food and daily life of 513 people in the army, 430 war horses, 116 military trucks, three medium-sized lathes and nearly 100 tons of food supplies.
At the right time, Li Yunfeng invited the teacher to inspect the headquarters.
After reading the review, the brigade commander couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "Fengzi! It's not a problem for these two companies of yours to challenge the Japanese alone and strengthen the brigade!"
Different from the overall quality of the New Regiment at that time, which was a mix of old and new soldiers, this company directly under the Self-Defense Forces, from the company commander to the soldiers, were 100% veterans who had fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The youngest group of soldiers have one year of service experience and have participated in at least one battle involving more than a hundred people, so they have solid combat experience.
Chiefs, deputy squad leaders, non-commissioned officers, and more than 90% of ordinary soldiers have more than three years of military service, have participated in at least medium-sized battles involving more than 500 people, and have basic command experience.
Platoon leaders and section chiefs directly under the headquarters, with the exception of Bai Ruiyang, have at least five years of military service, have directly commanded more than a hundred people in field battles, and have rich combat and command experience.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Li Yunfeng is willing, he can expand this infantry company to the size of a new regiment at any time, and it only takes a month to transform a group of recruits with no combat experience into a group that is comparable to the current combat effectiveness of the new regiment. .
What's even more valuable is that the National Defense Forces had already begun to try to repair military industry and process survival materials on their own at that time. The Ordnance Engineering Department directly under the headquarters had machine tools specifically used to repair guns and make bullets!
The brigade commander visited and found that the equipment was larger than the arsenal directly under the former enemy headquarters of the 18th Army; in terms of logistics, the logistics department directly under the defense force headquarters has added two machines that can process corn into white flour at any time. Mixed into feed for livestock.
Form a logistics ecosystem comparable to the Jinsui Army and the Central Military Brigade level!
Suddenly, the brigade commander remembered something and asked Li Yunfeng: "Fengzi, you have robbed so many supplies of the Jinsui Army, and the second theater did not give you any trouble?"
"I found it! The day after I returned to the station, the Jinsui Army sent a major general to protest, saying that this was material supplies for the two divisions of the Jinsui Army; that I was undermining the anti-Japanese united front; and they also threatened me. I want to send a message to the whole country to expose all the bad deeds of our Chinese National Defense Force!"
"How did you handle it?"
"Kill him with black eyes and beat him straight away! Unfortunately, Yan Laoxi met me, Li Yunfeng. If he is a little devil, his supply transport team is walking on the road openly. I wish the whole world knew that he is a motorcyclist. With such arrogance, those two divisions, more than 10,000 people’s rice, flour, meat and wine, and a regiment’s weapons fell into the enemy’s hands!”
"Teacher, did Yan Laoxi give you any trouble?"
"found!"
The brigade commander raised his hand to adjust his glasses: "We need to return the supplies immediately! Otherwise, our military expenses will be detained!"
"Will the Second War Zone return your funds?"
"Grandma! It only lasted for less than half a year and stopped at the beginning of the year! Otherwise, our life would not be so shabby! We all rely on local self-financing! So, just use this as the reason for your Chinese Defense Force to support friendly forces and refuse Lost!"
Speaking of this, the brigade commander smiled and said: "And your brother, he didn't even see anyone's face at all. He starved them all day and night, and finally returned hungry with no success!"
"That's right! I want him Yan Laoxi to know that he passively resisted the Japanese invaders and was ambiguous! This is the end! I directly said to the major general, if you beep again, I will go directly to Yan Laoxi!"
"Having said that, what would you do if he really electrified the whole country?"
At that time, the Chinese people lacked information channels, and they were facing an invasion, so they paid special attention to newspapers as an information channel. If Yan Laoxi really wanted to launch a public opinion offensive, he would rely on the current trend of stopping the war inward and unanimously attacking the outside world. Under the circumstances, the SADF really couldn't defend itself.
"Self-defense? Why should you defend yourself! Fist is the last word! If Yan Laoxi really elects the whole country and belittles me, hum! I will ask him to learn the power of my fist!"
After finishing speaking, Li Yunfeng smiled crookedly!
Although the National Defense Force cannot take the initiative to attack the Shanxi-Sui Army in view of the current wave of national unity against Japan, this does not affect Li Yunfeng's personal teaching of Yan Laoxi! So that he can know that the name "Crazy" is not for nothing!
In contrast, the Central Army was much more generous this time. They sent a colonel commander over and didn't say anything about the battalion's equipment! They only sent people to send oceans, French currency, rice, flour, grain and oil, etc., and requested the National Defense Force in a consultation manner to allow their own officers and soldiers captured in the Xinzhou Prisoner of War Camp to return to the army.
In response, Li Yunfeng also gave them face and let them go with a wave of his hand!
As for the Jinsui Army, don't wait in vain. The arsenal of the Self-Defense Army is under preparation, so everyone can put their arms aside and contribute!
[Fengzi, I’m afraid I’m going crazy again! 】
Seeing Li Yunfeng's eagerness to try, the brigade commander couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
