If the cavalry battalion is to be transformed into such a powerful mobile force, it must be said to be a good thing for Wang Yongcheng.
Originally, Wang Yongcheng thought that his appointment as the commander of the cavalry battalion was just a way for the regiment commander to use the opportunity to eliminate dissidents who did not graduate from Huangpu.
But now it seems that he was not only wrong, but also very wrong. The regiment leader transferred him here because he actually wanted Wang Yongcheng to use his expertise in leading cavalry.
For this kind of result, Wang Yongcheng had the urge to die for his confidant.
Zhang Tianhai can think highly of him and entrust him with important tasks. What is this? This is called the grace of knowing someone!
Under the excitement, Wang Yongcheng stood at attention and saluted, and said very excitedly: "Thank you, Tuan Zuo, for thinking so highly of me, Wang Yongcheng, that I can let you lead such an elite army! In fact, I have the same gift as reincarnation, and I am willing to be an officer." Die!"
After hearing these words, Zhang Tianhai didn't say anything else. He just nodded the military cap on his head and said with a smile: "I died for the party and the country."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yongcheng immediately understood the meaning. He smiled coquettishly and said, "Yes, sir, you are right. You will die serving the party and the country."
After seeing Wang Yongcheng's reaction, Zhang Tianhai nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Okay, Battalion Commander Wang, please sit down! Now, I would like to ask Battalion Commander Zhao of the Artillery Battalion to report on the recent specific situation of the Artillery Battalion."
Compared with Wang Yongcheng's image as a burly man, artillery battalion commander Zhao Chengge appears to be very gentle.
He was wearing a military uniform with a pair of white command gloves in his hand. He stood up slowly, stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to the regiment, there are no other special circumstances in our artillery battalion. It is just for the storage of artillery shells and ammunition. There is not much left." There are too many, and there are only about 500 rounds of artillery shells. If we use them sparingly, we can still fight two battles, but if we don’t use them sparingly, it won’t be enough for one battle.”
"We will discuss this matter later. When we seize the next batch of Japanese supplies, we will focus on replenishing the artillery battalion's ammunition reserves!" Zhang Tianhai directly concluded this incident.
"Yes, regimental seat!" Zhao Chengge responded. He also knew that it is not easy to replenish artillery shells now. At a time when artillery shells are needed everywhere, it would be good for a unit like the Zhiyi Regiment to have an artillery battalion. Many units have It can barely maintain the use of artillery.
As for the Zhiyi Regiment, it not only expanded the size of its artillery, but also had a large reserve of artillery shells. Many artillery battalions only had one or two hundred rounds of artillery shells in storage, and the key point was that they were not willing to use them.
Let's look at the Zhiyi Regiment under Zhang Tianhai. Not only are they willing to use artillery shells, but they are also very generous in using them. The key is that Captain Zhang is capable and can command the troops to win many battles, so he can A lot of supplies were seized, and basically the battles were fought without much loss, and sometimes there was profit. Under such circumstances, how could Captain Zhang not be bold and willing to use artillery shells?
Well, yes, maybe for other armies, these shells are rare supplies. If you don't save them, they may be gone as soon as they are fired, and they will be useless at the critical moment.
However, in the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, artillery shells are not a scarce commodity. Anyway, the regiment commander gave the order to shoot with confidence, so you can shoot with confidence now. Anyway, the regiment commander will naturally find a way to replenish the water content of these shells.
For the officers and men of the artillery battalion of the Zhiyi Regiment, it was quite happy. It was difficult for other troops to fire a few artillery pieces. Most of the time they were treated like treasures and had to be hidden and used; in the Zhiyi Regiment, It's different. If the group leader gets angry, the cannonball tube will be enough to satisfy him!
Of course, all of this is based on sufficient logistics transportation capacity, which is why Zhang Tianhai expanded the baggage company into a baggage battalion.
The supply camp is the logistics support for the whole regiment. If the logistics collapses, let alone fighting, they may not even have food to eat. Even if they go to the battlefield, they may not be able to keep up with the ammunition supply.
If the ammunition supply cannot keep up, they can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army who are good at melee combat with bayonets, which may be scary just thinking about it.
"Yes, group seat!" Zhao Chengge responded and sat down.
"Now please ask Zhu Shaohong, Director of the Logistics Department and Commander of the Supply Battalion, to report on the situation of the Supply Battalion!" Zhang Tianhai took the initiative to name him again.
"Yes, regiment!" After Zhu Shaohong stood up, he saluted Zhang Tianhai, and then continued: "Regiment, our transport battalion has enough capacity for the time being, but if we need to continue to expand our troops, I am afraid we will have to increase the number of troops. The strength of a company is enough to maintain the normal operation of the logistics camp."
Faced with this question, Zhang Tianhai nodded slightly and said: "Let's put this issue aside for now! If it doesn't work, I will allocate another platoon of troops here and go to your logistics camp to maintain normal operations!"
"Thank you for your seat!" After saying this, Zhu Shaohong sat down.
These main combat units and functional departments have basically been described, and the rest is very simple. After all, there are communication companies under the Communications Department, as well as guard platoons, engineer companies, small artillery companies, and mortars. The company, political training section and gendarmerie are all combat units directly under the regiment headquarters. The problems of these units can be easily solved, so Zhang Tianhai did not raise them directly at the meeting to avoid slowing down the meeting.
In fact, according to this calculation, if all Zhang Tianhai's regiment were armed with weapons, there would be eight battalions of troops.
Even if the troops in the logistics supply battalion of the baggage battalion are excluded, there will still be seven combat battalions in full.
Seven combat battalions is definitely a lot of data. Of course, the artillery battalions still have to be eliminated. After all, the artillery is only responsible for supporting firepower. The regiment directly affiliated team organizes and calculates one battalion, coupled with the cavalry battalion, and four main infantry battalions. , there are still six battalions after all.
Don't forget, even the elite troops of the Yunnan Army are only one regiment and three battalions. So Zhang Tianhai calculated that his reinforced regiment is actually a brigade, that is, except for the troop number and his own Their military ranks have not kept up. Otherwise, they are no different from a brigade. Some brigades don’t even have an artillery battalion.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai is quite confident in the strength of his troops, but the prerequisite is that they must be trained well, otherwise, if they collapse, it will be zero.
Just when Zhang Tiantai Haibei announced the dissolution of the meeting, a guard from the guard platoon ran in and reported to Zhang Tianhai: "Report to the head of the regiment, Zhang Chenggong, the head of Lanfeng County, wants to see you!"
"Then invite him in!" Zhang Tianhai directly ordered the guards, and then turned to the officers present and said: "Please wait here for a moment. County Magistrate Zhang is a local snake in Lanfeng County. With his help, we will be able to understand the situation in Lanfeng County as quickly as possible, and then I will make adjustments based on the current situation in Lanfeng County."
"Yes! Regiment leader!!" The guards and officers responded in unison.
After the guard responded, he hurried out and asked Zhang Chenggong to come in.
