"You are more curious than me. Don't you know curiosity can kill a cat?"
Liao Mingyu said meaningfully with a slight smile. He slapped the telegram on the table: "Come on, let me open your eyes?"
Meng Fanxiao waved his hands quickly and said with a panic look on his face:
"Hey, my Lord, you think so highly of me. How can I read such confidential documents? No, no, you have to read them first."
Damn, you bitch is so pretentious! I just wanted to know the content right away, so I showed it to him and then pushed back.
Liao Mingyu rolled his eyes at him angrily, but this guy was quite sensible. Even though he is mean-spirited, at least his behavior is relatively well-behaved.
Ignoring him, Liao Mingyu picked up the telegram and read it carefully:
“The years pass by, and the seasons flow by.
Yan Xi and I haven't seen each other for several years. I wonder if Wen Bin still misses the friendship between classmates.
Little did I know that my junior was so talented. He captured more than 2,000 enemy soldiers on the Nantian Gate, which really surprised me.
The head of state is very satisfied with your performance, and I believe that the reward for your merit has been distributed. I have helped you obtain the supplies you need. In terms of personnel, a supplementary group is coming from Hunan, estimated to be more than 1,000 people. Yunong can make arrangements for you in advance. But otherwise you have to rely on yourself.
As a senior, I must remind you that your ideology must be correct and your stance must be clear. Don't give villains an opportunity to take advantage of you.
Yunong will do his best wherever he can, but all decisions must be made by the head of state. Don't let down the cultivation and trust of the head of state.
At this point, I hope the mountains and rivers are safe, and I wish you good luck in martial arts! "
…
"You guys should take a look too."
While talking, Liao Mingyu handed the telegram to them. Long Wenzhang and the two immediately took over.
"Guaiguai Longdidong, this boss Dai is really helpful! We all have a lot of face in our group."
Long Wenwen was surprised and sighed, this relationship is so good, how much face does it take for Boss Dai to treat him like this.
He is the person who can best understand the darkness of this officialdom, and he also knows that if you don't follow the dragon and the phoenix in the system, it will be difficult to have any hope of promotion.
Emperor's disciples like Liao Mingyu were better off. Even without Boss Dai's relationship, he could still get attention, and no one dared to take away his credit. But if you are born into a poor family and are unknown, who cares about your existence.
"It's really easy to do things with someone in the court! I see, it's just around the corner to add another golden star to the group!"
Meng Fan was also pleasantly surprised. He shook his head and imitated the Beijing opera tune, wishing he could sing another song.
"Come on, you two! Hurry up and get down to business."
Liao Mingyu waved his hands helplessly. To be honest, he was slightly embarrassed by these things.
Long Wenwen stopped laughing. He seriously picked up the troop personnel planning documents and read them.
Liao Mingyu's troop personnel plan is very detailed. Because it is a reinforced regiment, the troops are all in a large organization of 4 into 1.
The infantry squad consists of 11 people, with two squad leaders and deputy squad leaders. Can be subdivided into three three-man combat teams and one two-man fire support team
Equipped with weapons: 7 M1 Garand rifles. Three M3 submachine guns. A Czech ZB30 light machine gun, which can be fed by a 30-round magazine.
Four squads form a platoon, with two platoon leaders, two deputy platoon leaders, and one medical soldier. A communications soldier. A heavy machine gun squad was added, with 4 soldiers operating an M2 heavy machine gun, for a total of 52 people.
Four infantry platoons form a company, with two captains and deputy company commanders. An additional mortar platoon will be added, equipped with four 60mm mortars as company-level support weapons. Medical platoon, cooking squad and company direct personnel. A total of 265 people.
Four infantry companies form a battalion, with two battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders, and a battalion staff officer. The battalion's artillery company consists of nine 81mm medium mortars and three 120mm mortars.
The battalion is directly under the guard platoon, health and medical company, etc. An additional heavy machine gun company was added, consisting of 9 M2 heavy machine guns. The total number of people in the camp is about 1,200.
A specially reinforced artillery battalion was established. It consists of 4 Krupp 105mm howitzers, 12 92mm infantry guns, and 12 120mm mortars. There are 300 people in the whole camp.
The regiment headquarters is directly under the guard battalion, which has the same organization as the higher-up strong battalion. Under the direct command of the regiment headquarters, a disciplinary inspection company is added, similar to the gendarmerie, which is responsible for the style and discipline of the army. There are also regiment communications companies, baggage companies and other directly affiliated units. In total, the entire strengthened group can exceed 5,000 people when it is fully staffed.
"Regiment leader, do you know how terrifying weapons, equipment and logistics are with such a ration... Even the ace of the Central Army is not so arrogant. The head of state's armorer will probably cry when he sees it."
Long Wenwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with some uncertainty.
"Don't worry about weapons. What I'm most worried about right now is people. As long as you can take care of people for me, you don't need to worry about weapons and equipment."
Liao Mingyu said confidently, just kidding, could the system uncle make him hungry? Even if there are not enough weapons after the full collection, he can continue to exchange them. At least there are still 15,000 points left. Saving money is enough.
"Then there is nothing to say. If such a battalion really wants to set up a battle array, I am confident that I can go head-to-head with him as a team!"
Long Wenwen said enthusiastically. More than just defeating a regiment, as long as the quality of the soldiers and the tactical arrangements are in place, it is easy for the entire reinforced regiment to defeat a brigade.
If we had these equipment that night at Nantianmen, why did we fight so badly? He even dared to lead such a battalion to directly hunt down that old devil in Takeuchi.
"Gentlemen, I have a question: should I say it or not?" Meng Fan said, rubbing his chin.
"Then don't talk about it."
"Uh...then I'd better talk about it"
"We are fortunate to have a regiment of soldiers now, but... I have a bad mouth. Among our old brothers, there are really not many who can become officers. Those who are half-hearted on paper like A Yi are considered good prospects. ”
Liao Mingyu nodded with a heavy expression and said, "Well, what Fanla said makes sense. The biggest problem facing the entire Sichuan Army now is the appointment of grassroots officers."
Liao Mingyu knew that Meng Fan was referring to the section from the British Airport to Nantianmen. Due to the lack of integration among the troops and the lack of tacit understanding between the officers and soldiers, many company commanders and platoon commanders appointed temporarily could not even manage themselves well, and even appeared. There were many incidents of soldiers disobeying the general's orders.
If it weren't for Liao Mingyu's prestige and the support of Long Wenwen and one or two hundred veterans as the mainstay, the entire army might have collapsed by the time they reached Nantianmen, let alone fight with the Japs.
"In fact, it's not that difficult. Let's first identify a few main commanders and combatants. Regiment-level and battalion-level cadres. The remaining grassroots officers can be taught and taught at the same time. Slowly hone them."
Long Wenwen held his chin and spoke thoughtfully. He has a different point of view:
"After all, no one is born to fight, so take your time. Although we have a strengthened regiment, the remaining brothers are not enough to form a battalion."
Liao Mingyu was also helpless. There was a long way to go. The Takeuchi Alliance on Nantianmen was just a relatively large roadblock. In the future, if you want to be successful in the Myanmar battlefield, it will not be so easy.
"Hey, I think that guy Xing Fuquan is okay. Although he is a bit old-fashioned and does things strictly, his soldiers are very disciplined."
"Hey, that guy still has some prestige in the Sichuan Army. All the Sichuan guys obey him."
…
After a heated discussion between the three of them, it was finally established: the leader of the strengthening group: Liao Mingyu, and the deputy leader: Long Wenwen. Meng Fan, chief of staff of the regiment, was annoyed. Regiment staff officer: Lin translated.
First Battalion Commander: Long Wenwen serves concurrently.
Deputy Battalion Commander: Vacant
The commander of the first battalion and the first company: Li Sifu (Yao Ma)
Second Company Commander: Deng Bao (not spicy)
Third Company Commander: Mysterious Dragon
Fourth company commander: Zhang Xianyong (Dakui: the one who first operated the light machine gun with Milong at the airport)
Second Battalion Commander: Meng Fanlie will serve concurrently for the time being.
Artillery Battalion Commander: Li Liansheng, Deputy Battalion Commander: Shi Xiaomao (Krupp)
Discipline Inspection Company: Xing Fuquan.
Baggage train: Kang Huo Lian (Kang Ya)
Medical and Health Company: Hao Xichuan (veterinary surgeon)
Due to the limited number of people available, two battalions are temporarily organized. The Second Battalion that Meng Fan was worried about was still an empty shell...
The remaining old brothers have more or less become deputy company or platoon leaders. Because of ability issues, I first stayed at the grassroots level to practice slowly...
Needless to say, Xing Fuquan was an officer himself, and he was well-organized in leading troops. He also had a strict personality and a tough style. A competent disciplinary inspection company commander is more than enough.
Despite his usual slickness, Kaname has a very high prestige in the Sichuan Legion. He has more than a dozen combat experiences and a daring personality. Many fighters admired him. With him and Bu La, two brothers in trouble, leading a company shouldn't be a big problem.
Ah Yi is a big problem. He has attended the officer training corps and has a certain command foundation (although he is a blind commander). But if he can get rid of his nervousness and timid personality on the battlefield, he can also become a good mid-level officer.
Because he also has the courage and determination to follow his beliefs. Liao Mingyu was more optimistic about him and kept him by his side to train him personally.
In the original drama, he also became the regiment leader. Later, he was persuaded to surrender by Meng Fanlia and then committed suicide. In the end, he was the one who lived the most like Long Wenwen.
Dakui, a person who usually doesn't like to talk but can rush to key positions all the time, has a similar personality to Cui Yong. Cui Yong is the type who doesn't talk much. He just can't speak. He can express his personal emotions better with his hands than with his mouth.
Mi Long is too hot-tempered, so being a company commander is fine. But he is not suitable to be a mid-level officer, and his personality needs to be tempered more.
When the machine gun company was first thrown to him, he ignored it like a hands-off shopkeeper. Instead, Da Kui and Cui Yong managed the company in an orderly manner. This is one of the reasons why Dakui was made the company commander.
Krupp's professional knowledge is strong enough, but his character flaws make it impossible for him to exist as a military commander. On the contrary, Li Liansheng, who is like a human spirit, is more able to let it go. The two of them are fat and thin, and one is in charge of people and the other is in charge of guns.
After some discussion, Liao Mingyu and the other three finally confirmed the appointment letter of the officers of the Sichuan Army Corps. This initial regiment is also the foundation of their entire army, and it is also the germ of the larger army in the future.
When it grows up in the future, it will be like a towering tree, supporting a vast world for Liao Mingyu
