Wen San put up the airs of the independent group without waiting for more people to come.
The regimental leader is naturally Wen San, and the first deputy regimental commander is Lao Wan, who also serves as the commander of the first battalion. The battalion commanders of the other two main battalions are Ding Damao and Li Baisha.
Lao Wan's machine gun company will no longer be upgraded. Instead, this company will be used as the skeleton and split into three heavy machine gun companies, one for each main battalion.
Zheng Xiaoyu's artillery battery will naturally be upgraded to an artillery battalion, but it will be used much less intensively during wartime. Basically, the company can be used as a combat unit to cooperate with the main battalions in operations. Fortunately, Ma Yinchu and Guan Heizi have recently trained many qualified gunners.
Even if they are separated, they can still fight independently in each department and complete designated combat tasks well.
Pangdun's reconnaissance platoon was officially upgraded to a reconnaissance company, with weapons and personnel fully prepared, and commanders at all levels promoted on the spot.
Wang Mazi's communications platoon was upgraded to a communications company. This time they got a bugle, and the old methods of commanding charges were no longer needed. The transmitter should also be equipped, including temporary telephone calls, etc. In the future, the main force of each battalion will be able to communicate more quickly, making it easier for Wen San to directly command.
Zhou Zhengbiao's teaching team was upgraded to a supervising team, and the personnel expanded to a company. They not only have to take on the role of protecting senior commanders such as Wen San, but they also have to supervise battlefield operations and clean up military discipline and style.
Lao Yangtou's logistics department also needs to be fully upgraded, and the cooking class affairs will be separated. Each battalion will set up its own cooking class and be responsible for each. Lao Yangtou is responsible for the entire regiment's military equipment, corresponding supplies, food procurement, medicine distribution and other logistical affairs.
In addition, Wen San also formed a new baggage brigade, with Wang Qiang and Zhu Si as captains and deputy captains, equivalent to the first level of company commander.
Fang Mei's ambulance team will definitely need to replenish its manpower. From now on, the tasks of rescuing and carrying wounded soldiers on the battlefield will have to be left to male soldiers. These female soldiers with medical skills have to spend more time on treatment. This will greatly reduce the number of casualties among soldiers, and the effect is very obvious.
The various units' shelves were set up, but the soldiers did not arrive in time. Fortunately, the reputation of Wen San's subordinates has become very high recently, and the Flying Tiger Flag fell on his subordinates, making them even more dazzling.
When many defeated soldiers heard that it was an independent battalion, they joined in without even thinking. Young men nearby also actively joined the army, and many young students braved enemy fire to find his troops.
In a very short period of time, his army expanded by nearly two hundred people, and they were all very high-quality soldiers.
This change greatly increased Wen San's confidence. If two more battalions of troops came over, he would have almost 2,000 troops.
This is a large regiment, no weaker than a Japanese infantry regiment. After using it well at the critical moment, Wen San even dared to attack the Japanese brigade-level combat units!
Three main battalions and one artillery battalion must be fully staffed. As for the training camp he planned, I'm sorry, the troops must be insufficient. As for whether they can be reinstated or even join other combat units, it depends on the performance of these people.
Three days later, the ultimate reward finally arrived.
The team was led by Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Yonglin, deputy commander, and two battalion commanders Gao Jian and Wang Zhibing. Along with it came various kinds of moral weapons and equipment, which made Wen San smile. In terms of individual firepower, Germany's light and heavy machine guns are quite powerful. Wen Sangen has been coveting the individual rocket launcher and shoulder-mounted rocket launcher for a long time, and now he finally got it.
In terms of artillery, there are field guns, mountain guns, and mortars, all of which are quite useful equipment. What surprised Wen San the most was that they also brought over a hundred war horses (mainly for carrying equipment). Didn't this cavalry company have the foundation?
In this era, the role of the cavalry company was very important. Whether it is interspersed combat or roundabout outflanking, it is quite powerful. Especially in encounters, a cavalry charge can easily defeat an army, and it is too lethal to infantry.
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. Come with me. Wen has prepared a feast for you." Wen San said with a smile, looking very enthusiastic.
Several officers above the battalion level followed Wen San without doubting his presence.
As soon as the officers left, Lao Yangtou brought people over to receive the equipment. Lao Wan and others took away the officers at the company and platoon level. In the end, the highest commander of this group was only the squad leader.
"Brothers, come with me. Let's go to each camp to eat first." Tintin and Cat ran out again, leading these soldiers away in time and pulling them into different camps.
Quietly, the two full battalions of troops were split up by Wen San's troops. Their commander didn't even know about this, and was still eating and drinking happily, completely unaware that he had become a polished commander.
"Captain Zhang, it's really hard for you to come all the way and bring so much equipment." After eating silently for a while, Wen San put away his playful expression and became more formal.
Zhang Yonglin and others were stunned, looked at each other, and understood that Wen San was about to get down to business. Before coming, they all received relevant instructions, and everyone knew what they were going to do.
This is an order personally issued by the division commander, and it must be completed with quality and quantity.
"The Independent Regiment now has sufficient personnel and a relatively large establishment. There are many new recruits in it, and there are many problems. Several of them are from the regular army, unlike me, Wen, who is a wild man. So this unit still needs your careful guidance." When Wen San said this, he paused for a moment, mainly because he wanted to see their reactions.
"Captain Wen is too humble. We were given instructions before we came here, and all actions are subject to Commander Wen's command." Zhang Yonglin said quickly, obviously not understanding the meaning of Wen San's words.
Hearing what Zhang Yonglin said, Wen San smiled slightly, waiting for your words: follow the command in all actions!
"I'm going to set up a teaching battalion based on the officers of your two battalions, and the battalion commander will be Deputy Commander Zhang." Wen San finally showed his fangs.
Zhang Yonglin reacted immediately. All the officers of the two battalions gathered together. Wasn't this just to evade their military power?
To put it nicely, it was a training camp. To put it badly, all their officers were gathered together and put under house arrest. As the saying goes, a soldier does not know his general, and a general does not know his soldiers. What is the use of this training camp?
"Excuse me, Commander, how many troops are there in the training camp?" Gao Jian asked unwillingly.
If there is a full battalion of troops, it can still be operated.
"Well, due to the shortage of troops in each department, the strength of the training camp is tentatively set at 50 people. We will expand the army when the strength is sufficient."
As soon as Wen San's words came out, Zhang Yonglin and others gasped. This so-called training camp can only be regarded as a training team at best. This was to wipe out all the officers above the platoon level in the two battalions, leaving no mercy at all.
