Wait until Sun Desheng leaves.
Li Yunlong began to think about candidates for battalion-level officers and instructors.
This time we plan to expand to seven military divisions, which requires seven battalion-level officers and instructors.
However, the head of the headquarters only sent four battalion-level officers and four instructors. The remaining three battalion-level officers and three instructors needed to be dealt with by Li Yunlong himself.
If we follow the normal battalion level, with a battalion of more than 400 people, and an expansion of more than 15,000 people, more than 20 battalion-level officers and instructors will be needed.
However, Li Yunlong does not have so many battalion-level officers now, and the headquarters cannot give him that many officers.
Li Yunlong thought, it seems that he must set up an officer training class to train more battalion and company level officers and instructors.
However, it is definitely not possible to hold a training class just before the battle.
The 36th Division is watching eagerly from the side of the couch. The Japanese army may invade the base area at any time, so the troops must be pulled up as soon as possible.
Training classes need to be held, but not now.
The new regiment now has eleven battalions, including four main infantry battalions, two artillery battalions, a cavalry battalion, a heavy machine gun battalion, an air defense battalion, a machine gun battalion, and a teaching battalion.
These battalion-level officers and instructors are temporarily unable to move.
Those with enough military exploits and seniority to become battalion-level officers can only be selected from the Sword Squadron.
The best candidates are captain Lu Yingjun and vice-captain Wei Dayong.
The Sharp Sword Squadron was originally a battalion-level unit, and before Lu Yingjun came to the New Regiment, he was the commander of the military region's communications company and had great military exploits.
There is absolutely no problem in transferring him to be a battalion commander in a military division at the moment.
Wei Dayong has also experienced hundreds of battles and has outstanding military exploits. He has no problem being a battalion commander.
Special forces are indeed important, but for the captain and deputy captain of the special forces, the upper limit is still relatively low.
When you are the captain of a special force, you can at most command dozens or hundreds of people in combat. But when you become the battalion commander of a new regiment, you will have the opportunity to command tens of thousands of people in combat.
Considering the futures of Lu Yingjun and Wei Dayong, Li Yunlong planned to let them become battalion commanders.
As for the captain and vice-captain of the Sharp Sword Squadron, Duan Peng can be the captain and Wang Xikui can be the vice-captain.
As for the remaining candidate for battalion commander, a deputy battalion commander with good performance can be promoted, and the other three instructors can be promoted by the company commander or company-level instructor.
After confirming it, Li Yunlong wrote it down in his notebook, and then asked Political Commissar Zhao to talk to them alone. This was Political Commissar Zhao's job. If Political Commissar Zhao couldn't handle it, Li Yunlong would take action himself.
However, Li Yunlong believed that with the ability of political commissar Zhao, he should be able to handle it.
Political Commissar Zhao is focusing on the construction of warehouses and roads during this time.
After returning in the afternoon, Li Yunlong held a brief Youth League Committee meeting with Zhao Gang to further determine the candidates for battalion-level officers and instructors.
Then Zhao Gang talked to these people one by one according to the list.
The conversation went smoothly, and everyone's ideological consciousness was very high. There were more than 2,000 people in a battalion, and they were all equipped with American equipment. Only a fool would disagree with the organization's opinions.
Immediately afterwards, the main backbones were transferred from each main infantry battalion to serve as squad, platoon and company-level officers of the new unit.
In less than a week, each divisional unit had been formed.
…
A starless night after the rain.
At Zhaojiayu Airport, pilot students and tank students were ordered to assemble at the airport.
At the airport, the five transport planes and three escort fighter jets arranged by Boss Chen were already in place and parked at the airport.
Li Yunlong took Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and other officers from the department and rushed to Zhaojiayu Airport in a jeep.
Captain Duan Peng of Lijian drove the car himself. An M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun was installed on the jeep, followed by two large Jiefang trucks.
These pilot students and tank students were lined up at the airport and were about to get on the plane. They heard the sound of the car's motor and looked at it in surprise.
The jeep and truck were parked on the side of the airport. Li Yunlong adjusted his military cap and jumped out of the car.
The person in charge of airport pick-up and drop-off was Xing Zhiguo. Seeing the arrival of Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others, he quickly saluted with a military salute.
After Li Yunlong returned the courtesy, he walked in front of a group of flight cadets and tank cadets and glanced at them with solemn eyes.
The highest-ranking cadets in this group are Sun Desheng and another infantry battalion commander.
Sun Desheng said to Li Yunlong: "Captain, we are about to set off. Do you have anything else to say?"
Li Yunlong looked at the faces of the soldiers. He felt that his throat was a little blocked. It seemed that he had a lot to say to the soldiers, but he didn't know what to say at the moment.
"Bring the wine!" Li Yunlong waved and shouted.
The members of the Sharp Sword team jumped out of the truck and gave each student who was about to set off an earthen bowl. Then Wang Dehou and the combat staff poured Fenjiu into the large bowls in rows.
Li Yunlong held the bowl with both hands and said: "I, Li Yunlong, see you off today. I just want to say that our group of students are all good people. I believe that you can be loyal to your duties and fulfill your responsibilities."
"It is now the fifth year since the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance."
"In the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937, the 29th Army fought against the Japanese. In the past few years, we have fought fierce battles. Many Japanese were annihilated by us, but there were also countless brothers who shed blood on the battlefield. They are worthy of the title of soldiers."
"The battle loss ratio between the Japs and our Chinese army is 1 to 5, because we are not as well trained as the Japs, and our weapons and equipment are not as good as the Japs."
"But now, there is an opportunity before you to train to become pilots and tank soldiers. The aircraft is more advanced than the Japs', and the tanks are more sophisticated than the Japs'."
"To be honest, I envy your luck and wish I could trade my position as regimental commander with you. I also want to become a pilot or a tank soldier."
"But as soldiers, it is our bounden duty to obey orders. We bear different responsibilities, and we can only perform our duties."
"Today, I will send you off with wine. I have only one request for you, which is for all of you to learn your lesson and come back and kill the Japanese invaders ruthlessly!"
Li Yunlong drank the wine in one gulp and smashed the bowl on the ground.
"Kill the Japanese and destroy the bandits!"
After drinking, the students smashed their wine bowls and shouted in unison.
"lets go!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand.
Sun Desheng stood at attention and saluted Li Yunlong, and then led the students onto the plane.
Transport planes and fighter jets made huge engine roars and gradually disappeared into the night sky...
Li Yunlong stood at the airport and stared at the night sky where the students disappeared by plane for a long time before he got on the jeep and returned to Zhaojiayu Village.
He heard from Boss Chen that this was the first batch of students, but not the last.
After the business is in place, this group of students has not yet graduated, and the next group of students can continue to study at overseas military bases.
Captain Li is very motivated.
Commanding the armored group and the fighter group to fight, it's so damn exciting.
…
Soldiers who joined the army paraded in the village wearing big red flowers.
Shouting the slogan that it is honorable for one person to join the army and for the whole family.
The staff explained to the common people why they should join the army, why they should fight the Japanese, who they should fight for, and why they should fight.
Whether they are the main force or the militia, everyone is highly motivated.
With experienced officers of all levels in each division in place, Li Yunlong began to put the weapons and ammunition in the warehouse into the hands of the soldiers in each division.
Come and try it quickly. 】
With all American equipment and food in place.
With soldiers, sophisticated weapons and equipment, and sufficient food, the next step is to train new recruits.
The training of new recruits is divided into seven parts military and three parts political. Military training focuses on the four major skills of shooting, bombing, assassination and blasting.
Those who fail the assessment will be eliminated and will not be able to become qualified Eighth Route Army soldiers and will be transferred to the militia or returned to the local area.
In addition to learning military quality skills, recruits also have to learn tactical skills.
In addition to learning guerrilla tactics, counter-slope and tunnel tactics, the recruits also began to learn the three-by-three tactics, the principles of not fighting a battle without subjectivism, and one point and two sides.
And ordered all the troops of the new regiment to invest.
In addition to the three-by-three system, Li Yunlong also trained according to Boss Chen's book of four groups and one team, four fast, one slow and three strong tactics, with different playing styles in different situations.
The recruits all undergo a period of systematic military training and political education.
The new tactics they learned were as good as those of veterans, and they also had military and tactical acumen.
In addition to superior weapons and equipment, the systematic formation and training of second-line troops in each division of the New Regiment is one of the main reasons for ensuring the New Regiment's combat effectiveness and world dominance in the future.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Li Yunlong was very satisfied after inspecting each district.
At this time, the Japanese 36th Division's blockade of the New Regiment's territory had basically been completed.
Around the base area, the Japanese used the highway as a chain to build trenches, reinforced concrete bunkers and gun towers.
An economic and material blockade was implemented, and everything from the outside, including food, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar, was not allowed to enter the base area.
But this is not a problem for Xinyi Tuan, because the current Xinyi Tuan is not short of food at all.
The Japanese imposed a system of sitting together. As long as one person in a family secretly infiltrated the Eighth Route Army, all members of the family would be killed.
Moreover, the Japanese also launched a reward-for-reporting campaign. Anyone who reported something related to the Eighth Route Army would be rewarded with food and Union Boxing.
The fortress households in several villages were arrested by the Japanese because they were reported, and they were killed by the Japanese because they refused to disclose information about the Eighth Route Army.
Li Yunlong was very angry when he learned about this situation.
During this period of time, the new regiment has been training troops and rarely attacks, which makes the little devil's life a little comfortable.
So, he summoned the military cadres of the new regiment and above the battalion level to Zhaojiayu Village for a meeting.
Although the training conditions of the units in each division are very good, after all, these recruits have not experienced much actual combat, and the time for the new regiment to launch a full-scale attack on the 36th Division is not yet ripe.
But there is no problem with local attacks and honing the combat effectiveness of new recruits.
Nearly 20 battalion commanders and regimental officers all arrived, and Commander Li began his meeting speech:
"Some of the battalion commanders here have just joined the new regiment and may not understand the combat principles of our new regiment."
"I would like to emphasize here that when our new regiment fights, no matter whether it is at the squad, platoon, company or battalion level, we must calculate the cost before each battle. We can only take advantage and not suffer losses. If anyone suffers a loss against the Japanese, I You have to scold me."
