The next day, after the New Regiment had breakfast, Shen Quan called together all the cadres at the battalion level and above and held a meeting under the chairmanship of political commissar Zhao Gang.
After the development of the new regiment during this period, not only the number of people increased sharply, but also countless weapons and ammunition of various kinds. This led to the uneven distribution of weapons among the various units below the regiment.
In order to give full play to the optimal strength of each battalion, Wang Yousheng readjusted the organizational structure of the entire regiment.
Everyone sat around the table, all eyes fell on Shen Quan, waiting for his speech.
Leaning slightly, Shen Quan coughed and said seriously: "Brothers, our new group has grown from the first few dozen people to today's scale without your help. I, Shen Quan, thank you all from the bottom of my heart."
"However, as our military strength increases, the organizational structure becomes more and more chaotic. Today we have gathered everyone for this meeting in the hope of re-adjusting the organizational structure of our new regiment, and by the way, using the existing weapons Make a reasonable allocation.”
"For example, as far as I know, the cavalry battalion now has a lot of heavy machine guns and crooked weapons. These heavy weapons are a lifeline for the infantry battalion, but they are not so important for the cavalry battalion. After all, the advantage of the cavalry lies in the horses. .”
"So for the sake of our long-term development in the future, I hope everyone can eliminate the barriers and follow the arrangements of the regiment. Are there any problems?"
"No!"
The whole audience answered in unison.
Shen Quan was very satisfied with the group of people sitting at the regiment headquarters.
Immediately, political commissar Zhao Gang picked up a prepared document and announced:
"Now I would like to announce the organizational structure of the new regiment and the adjustment of cadres and troops that were decided after discussions between the regiment leader and I."
"Special First Battalion, 1,100 troops, battalion commander Zhang Dabiao!"
"One infantry battalion, 1,000 troops, battalion commander Deng Hu!"
"Second Infantry Battalion, 1,000 troops, battalion commander Qi Dongshui!"
"Third infantry battalion, 1,000 troops, battalion commander Zhang Genshui!"
"Fourth infantry battalion, 900 troops, battalion commander Hu Zehai!"
"Fifth infantry battalion, 900 troops, battalion commander Long Zhengxing!"
"Artillery battalion, 800 troops, battalion commander Wang Chengzhu!"
"Cavalry battalion, 900 troops, battalion commander Sun Desheng!"
"The original Wolf Poison Flower Special Forces and the Dragon Group Special Forces merged into the Dragon Soul Special Forces. The number of troops was increased to 300. The captain, Xue Min, enjoys the treatment of a battalion-level cadre."
"The regiment headquarters security company has 500 troops. The company commander Wei Dayong enjoys the treatment of battalion-level cadres!"
"After discussion, the name of the original intelligence department was changed to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the director, Yu Zecheng, enjoyed the treatment of a battalion-level cadre."
"Logistics support mechanism battalion, 600 troops, battalion commander Wang Xiaohua!"
"Cooking company, 400 troops, company commander Liu Sangui!"
Every time Zhao Gang finished reading a name, the corresponding person stood up and saluted Shen Quan. It can be said that the development of the New Regiment today is inseparable from Shen Quan's wise leadership.
The reason why this group of people can get together to fight against Japan is all because of Shen Quan.
Leaning slightly, Zhao Gang continued to read: "At the same time, the new regiment has a new deputy commander, Zhou Weiguo!"
"Regiment leader Shen Quan is in charge of all military affairs of the entire regiment, and is in charge of the first special battalion, the first and second battalions, and the Civil Affairs Bureau plus Dragon Soul Special Forces Team!"
"Deputy commander Zhou Weiguo cooperates with the commander to carry out the work of the whole regiment, and is in charge of the third, fourth and fifth infantry battalions and the cavalry battalion!"
"As the political commissar, I will do a good job in responding to the situation under the leadership of the regiment commander. The artillery battalion, the regiment security company, the logistics support mechanism battalion and the cooking company that I am in charge of will have something to do in the future when the two regiment commanders are not around. , I can handle it with full authority."
After this series of arrangements, the new regiment already has a very complete configuration in terms of the large-scale organization of leading cadres. As for the appointment of cadres below the battalion level, Shen Quan gave this right to each battalion. The commander shall be recommended by each battalion and then reported to the regiment headquarters for approval.
At the same time, in order to strengthen the ideological organization work of each battalion, Shen Quan also asked the political commissar to select a deputy battalion commander and a teaching committee member in each battalion.
In this way, the three major teams of each battalion will be fully matched!
Today, the New Regiment is guarding the unique town of Qingyang Town. Relying on the local terrain and layers of defense protection, the New Regiment will not easily move its position unless the little devil launches a militarized sweep of tens of thousands of people.
…
After lunch, Shangguan Yufei was ready to pack his luggage and leave.
After all, she still had the code book and cipher machine intercepted from the Japanese on her body.
However, before Shangguan Yufei sent these two things to the headquarters, he also sent someone to make a copy.
As soon as Shangguan Yu Fei stepped into the threshold of the regiment headquarters, he saw Monk Wei competing with Shen Quan.
Even though Monk Wei had become a monk in the temple and practiced martial arts since childhood, he still did not have the upper hand in front of Shen Quan. Instead, he still felt vaguely defeated.
"Bang!"
When the two of them were in a stalemate, Shen Quan took aim at the opportunity, quickly broke free of the restraints with his hands, and then tightly held Monk Wei's right arm, throwing Monk Wei over his shoulder and slamming him to the ground.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yufei walked over with admiration and applauded: "Captain Shen is really awesome!"
Chen Quan stretched out his hand to pull up Monk Wei who was on the ground, looked at Shangguan Yu Fei and smiled slightly: "Why are you here?"
When this topic was brought up, Shangguan Yufei suddenly became a little disappointed and said, "I came here to say goodbye to you."
Seeing the changing emotions in Shangguan Yu Fei's eyes, Shen Quan quickly comforted him: "Let me rest for a while, change my clothes and go to the headquarters with you."
Shangguan Yufei: "Ah? Commander, are you going too?"
"Yes, the new regiment has been engaged in some battles recently, and its troops have also been expanded. These situations have not yet been reported to the leaders at the headquarters. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I will go with you." Shen Quan explained.
"Well, if you come with me, I won't worry about this on the way!" After hearing this, Shangguan Yufei's wrinkled expression slowly relaxed.
Afterwards, Shen Quan put on a brand new military uniform and rushed to the headquarters base with Wei Monk and Shangguan Yu Fei.
Since the headquarters is located in the middle of several major base areas, and there are brother troops on the road, Shen Quan did not bring any guards. Monk Wei alone could equal a guard platoon.
The three of them worked hard all the way and finally arrived at the headquarters in the evening.
The deputy commander-in-chief heard someone below say that Shen Quan had come to the headquarters. He didn't even bother to eat dinner, so he came to the door to greet Shen Quan and others.
In the conference room, there was a large iron basin in the middle, with a charcoal fire burning inside. There was an iron mesh on top of the charcoal fire, and sweet potatoes and a few steamed buns were roasted on it, which was the food used by the deputy commander to entertain Shen Quan. .
No way, due to the blockade by the Japs, it was very difficult for the troops in the base area to get food. Many troops in the base area even drank wild vegetable porridge every day.
Of course, Qingyang Town in Chenquan is an exception. Not only do they have white flour steamed buns and vermicelli for every meal, the soldiers can also eat canned beef and fish from the little devil every now and then.
After a few words of greeting, the deputy commander-in-chief took Shen Quan's hand and said passionately: "Chen Quan, you really did not disappoint me, you really made me proud!"
Immediately, Shangguan Yu Fei handed the cipher machine and cipher machine he carried with him to the deputy commander, and said: "Report to the chief, the cipher book and cipher machine intercepted from the Japanese have been brought back safely. If Commander Shen hadn't been there this time, Help, there is no way I can complete this task.”
The deputy commander-in-chief took over the cipher machine and code book, gave a military salute to his superior officer Yu Fei to express his gratitude, and then handed the things to the division commander on the side.
"Everyone in the team looking for the cipher machine and code book died except me, including the team leader Zhang Chao!"
Zhang Chaoben is the secretary of the headquarters secretariat. He studied at a university in Peking for two years, and then went to Germany to study. He specialized in code deciphering. He is usually responsible for the work arrangements of the deputy commander-in-chief. In order to retrieve the information this time, the deputy commander-in-chief asked Zhang Chao served as the team leader, but was unfortunately killed by the Japanese in an attempt to cover Shangguan Yu Fei's retreat.
Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief frowned, and then slowly relaxed his eyebrows for a long time, and said indifferently: "Comrade Zhang Chao is a good person, and the organization will definitely remember his contribution."
Since it is a war, someone is bound to die. This is an inevitable law of nature.
But no matter what, fortunately, the code book and cipher machine were successfully recovered. With these two things, the little devil's next action plan can be known in advance, which will be more conducive to the war of resistance.
Then, the deputy commander looked at Shen Quan again and said gratefully: "Boy, I have to thank you again this time. If it hadn't been for you, Comrade Shangguan might not have been able to successfully get back the code book and cipher machine. Can you It’s really my pet peeve!”
The staff officer on the side said cheerfully: "Chen Quan, you don't know that in the eyes of the chief, you are much more important than the rest of us."
"Speaking of which, I really admire you. You killed so many Japs at the Huting stronghold, wiped out the entire Japs observation group, killed several senior Japs officers, and completely defeated the little Japs' spirit. It's really good."
After the battle at the Huting stronghold, Chen Quan's name not only resounded throughout northwest Shanxi, but also affected the entire Daxia. Even many troops regarded the combat experience of the New Regiment as a treasure, and many military cadres study hard.
The deputy commander smiled knowingly and said: "You are really a talent. In this battle, even Commander Yan from the World War II area personally issued a commendation order to you. The commander-in-chief in the mountain city even gave you tens of thousands of dollars." Military pay is really awesome!"
"Compared to these two, although our own headquarters will also give you awards, the weight may not be so generous."
Chen Quan waved his hands repeatedly and said: "What are you talking about, the chief? I, Chen Quan, never fight the Japanese for rewards. This is my responsibility as a Chinese!"
"Excellent!"
Hearing this, the deputy commander stood up and took the lead in applauding Shen Quan, and the other leaders also stood up and applauded.
Everyone, including Shangguan Yufei, knew in their hearts that given time, Shen Quan would definitely be a star and a pillar of the Great Xia War of Resistance!
