Perhaps because of the role model of Wang Ziqing, Han Xingle, the commander of the fourth battalion, also stood up and reported to Zhang Tianhai: "Report to the regiment, the situation of the humble fourth battalion and the second battalion of the commander Lu Shaojie. Almost all of them suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Tangtou. However, the casualties were far less severe than those of the First Battalion. Although we cannot say that we can be like the Third Battalion, we can guarantee that we can win the battle if we dare to fight, but we have the Fourth Battalion. Yes, that is absolutely no problem. There are not many other guarantees, only fighting to the death, that’s all.”
I don't know why, but listening to Han Xingle's assurance, Zhang Tianhai always felt that it was much more reliable than what Wang Ziqing had promised him.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai nodded slightly and said: "Fourth Battalion Commander, your determination is worth learning from everyone, so let's train the troops well and prepare for battle! Cavalry Battalion Commander Wang, below, you will report The current situation of your cavalry battalion!"
When Zhang Tianhai spoke, his eyes were focused on Wang Yongcheng, because he had previously planned to rectify the cavalry battalion, and this time he wanted to hear the latter's detailed report.
Whether it is to observe whether the cavalry battalion can accept the adaptation and its capabilities, or from the perspective of existing combat effectiveness, it must be understood and analyzed in detail.
After hearing Zhang Tianhai's roll call, Wang Yongcheng, a big man from the Northeast, immediately stood up and said: "Reporting to the regiment, this humble cavalry battalion is actually a battalion with weaker combat effectiveness than other battalions, because our battalion is It is the shortest-established unit among the battalions in the entire regiment. Unless it is worthy of others, we cannot guarantee it. What I can guarantee is that after receiving orders from the regiment headquarters, the cavalry battalion will definitely do its best and fight to the end!"
Zhang Tianhai's attitude towards the cavalry battalion was different from that towards the four main infantry battalions. After all, he wanted to know the true situation of the cavalry battalion.
Before leaving Xuzhou, Zhang Tianhai did go to the cavalry camp to learn about the situation, but the situation he learned was not ideal, so this time he wanted to catch Wang Yongcheng and question him carefully.
"Batalion Commander Wang, if I remember correctly, when the cavalry battalion was established at that time, the cavalry battalion was fully armed with Japanese weapons and equipment. In terms of the sophistication of weapons, there are indeed certain differences with other main infantry battalions. gap problem, but today I want you to report in detail the current situation of the cavalry battalion. The regiment headquarters has already planned to make certain changes to the combat nature of the cavalry battalion to adapt to the future combat functions of the cavalry battalion and be able to effectively and Support the frontline operations very quickly." Zhang Tianhai was not afraid to speak out. After all, the officers present were the backbone of the Zhiyi Regiment. In any case, they also had a certain ability to rectify the large units of the Zhiyi Regiment. right to know.
It's not that Zhang Tianhai is afraid that they will leak the secret after they know the rectification plan of the Zhiyi Regiment. Zhang Tianhai just wants them to know the current changes of the Zhiyi Regiment - only these key officers know about the various battalions of the Zhiyi Regiment. After understanding the situation, we can better cooperate with the group operations.
And for the Zhiyi Regiment, wouldn't it be better to survive on the battlefield after the overall combat effectiveness is increased?
Regarding Zhang Tianhai's explanation, Wang Yongcheng didn't think much and reported directly to Zhang Tianhai: "Reporting to the regiment, our cavalry battalion is basically equipped with a Japanese-made 38 cap and a handle. Sabers, in terms of light weapons, almost every platoon only has one Japanese-made light machine gun. Weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns are almost non-existent. Therefore, the combat effectiveness and penetration ability of our cavalry battalion are not that strong. Only One thing that can be done well is mobility."
After hearing Wang Yongcheng's words, Zhang Tianhai expressed great satisfaction. He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Battle Commander Wang, your summary is very accurate. Indeed, the cavalry battalion now faces poor basic equipment and even fewer heavy weapons. The situation. Therefore, in order to deal with such disadvantages, the regiment headquarters is determined to make certain changes in the configuration of weapons and equipment of the cavalry battalion."
After saying this, Zhang Tianhai reached out and gestured for Wang Yongcheng to sit down: "Let me talk about the general rectification plan for the cavalry battalion. Let's listen to it for the time being. Once conditions are met, we will implement it immediately. .”
Wang Yongcheng had just sat down. When he heard Zhang Tianhai say this, he knew that this rectification was definitely not as simple as just adding some light machine guns. It was likely to be a major change.
As a result, Wang Yongcheng, a rough man, suddenly became excited.
Zhang Tianhai cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Everyone, regarding the cavalry battalion's rectification plan, I initially envision that one company of the cavalry battalion should maintain the mobility of the existing cavalry company. In addition, on the basis of each company of the cavalry battalion, Add a telegraph machine to move to ensure that when the enemy appears, combat orders can be issued to each company of the cavalry battalion as quickly as possible to support the frontline battle. This is the first point.
The second point is that, if conditions permit, a large number of grenades, mortars and some Japanese-made heavy machine guns will be issued to the Second Company of the Cavalry Battalion to transform the Second Company of the Cavalry Battalion into a force capable of rapid reinforcement of frontline support. Firepower troops. "
As soon as Zhang Tianhai's words came out, the officers present were shocked: they had thought that it was to rectify the combat effectiveness, and the most important thing was to strengthen the training of the cavalry battalion, but they did not expect that this time the rectification and reform of the cavalry would be so powerful. So big!
Once the cavalry battalion builds a rapid support firepower point company, the cavalry battalion will no longer have a dispensable status among the 11th regiment, but will become a hot and popular steamed bun.
After all, in positional warfare, most combat tasks are undertaken by infantry, so this is why Zhang Tianhai attaches great importance to the four main infantry battalions.
Before the officers could react, Zhang Tianhai continued: "The last thing is, regarding the construction of the third company of the cavalry battalion, the construction of the third company of the cavalry battalion should be equipped according to the system of an ordinary infantry company! Do this The purpose is to build the third company of the cavalry battalion into an infantry company that can quickly enter the battlefield at any time. If coupled with the construction of the second company of the cavalry battalion, the cavalry battalion will be able to become a force with very strong independent combat capabilities. !”
Zhang Tianhai said the last words, but once again the officers of the 11th Zhizhi Regiment were shocked: if the construction is really carried out according to the regiment's ideas, the field capability of the cavalry battalion will not be inferior to that of any main infantry force. Battalion, there are even many places that surpass the main infantry battalion. The most important issue is mobility.
What the main infantry battalion lacks most is its mobile combat capabilities. Even if the battalion commanders see the enemy's weaknesses, they have no way to put their troops there in the first place.
However, if the cavalry battalion is adapted, it will be different: first of all, they have strong mobility and can quickly maneuver, and then each of them is equipped with a mobile radio, which means that they can receive messages anytime and anywhere. Direct combat orders from battalion headquarters, or even all.
Of course, for the rectification of the cavalry battalion, the battalion commanders, apart from showing envy, did not have much jealousy: after all, for them, the Zhiyi Regiment had such a highly mobile and combat-effective force. A strong cavalry battalion is also good for them. For example, they can get a strong reinforcement to fight in the shortest time.
In evenly matched battles, victory is often determined by just a few advantages and disadvantages!
