The Sihang Regiment belongs to the special regiment, and with the civilian personnel of the regiment headquarters, the number of registered personnel in the Ministry of Military Affairs is 5,060.

But at present, it does not include the security forces under the Hebei-South Administrative Office, nor does it include the security camps under the name of the three counties in southeastern Shanxi, nor does it even include the field hospital with nearly 1,000 medical staff just built, but it has 11,000 various types of combat, logistics and technical personnel.

This means that the entire regiment will be forced to be split, leaving at least half of the troops in southeastern Shanxi and southern Hebei where the battle situation has stabilized.

This not only involves the question of whom the close comrades who are fighting side by side to separate, but also who will leave and who will stay.

Everyone knows that the focus of the Japanese army's attack is in central China and southern China, and that battlefield is undoubtedly even more dangerous.

The news about Tang Dao came a bit too suddenly. Even officers at all levels of the Four Lines Regiment who had experienced countless bloody battles came because of the frequent thoughts, and they couldn't say a word for a while.

The conference room, which was still warm just now, was quiet and even the heavy breathing could be heard clearly.

"What? You battalions, don't you always scream and compete for the first time when you hear that you want to fight with the Japanese! When you hear that you are going to the fifth war zone, you are so cowardly? You don't even dare to leave the atmosphere?" Tang Dao looked around with a plain face and directly pointed Cai Dadao's general.

"Company Commander of the Big Sword, I remember that during the Rat Mountain Blocking Battle that day, you and the Donglai Company Commander, led a group of defeated soldiers and dared to fight the last drop of blood with the Fifth Division. Why did you become mute when you heard the order to fight more Japanese soldiers in our regiment?"

"Tuanzou, that's not because I, Cai Dadao, is afraid, but when I think about Tuanzou, you will take me and the brothers of the Iron Company to continue beating the Japanese without worrying about Lao Li pulling my wool. After all, he hasn't even made a name for seven.

Originally, I was very happy, but I almost laughed a little, but for some reason, I couldn't laugh." Cai Dadao, who was ordered by Tang Dao himself, stood up, smiled bitterly on his face, but said very seriously.

This seems like a joke, but perhaps it is more about the true thoughts of the person who was holding a thick-backed knife and slashing seven Japanese soldiers.

What he was afraid of was not going thousands of miles away, not going to a more dangerous battlefield to fight with the Japanese army, but separating!

The concept of 'On the battlefield, the most trustworthy thing is not the gun in the hand, but the comrades and brothers!' has been integrated into the lives of every officer and soldier of the Four Lines Regiment for three years.

Suddenly, if you want to strip away part of your life, anyone will resist.

Tang Dao smiled slightly. On weekdays, Cai Dadao seems to be the roughest among the 12 main infantry companies of the four major infantry battalions, but I'm afraid only Tang Dao knows it best. This is a typical Zhang Fei-style figure, with a rough and thinner one.

This made the point immediately, and not only explained the reason why he didn't speak, but also indirectly told the superior that he was the main force of the main force, so don't want to leave him alone.

"Cai Dadao, get out of here, what does it mean to have no name? The 7th Company is the entire Sharp Knife Company, the main company, and the regiment commander will never take me to the 7th Company." The veteran standing side by side with Cai Dadao almost didn't spit out the saliva of Zhao Daqiang, who was sitting opposite him.

Li Jiujin also quickly came back to the taste and knew that it was Cai Dadao quietly reminding him.

The four army regiments currently have 4 infantry battalions, with a total strength of more than 5,000, not to mention the artillery battalion, air defense battalion, cavalry battalion, baggage battalion and several direct companies. The eight company commanders present may not be able to leave with the regiment commander in the end.

A word woke up the dreamer! Not to mention that Li Jiujin reacted, Zhao Daqiang and Qian Dazhu, who were deliberately sprayed with saliva on their faces, looked at each other and tried their best to pull themselves out of their shock and at a loss.

The Ministry of Military Affairs has issued a transfer order, and no matter how reluctant he is, the division of troops is a foregone conclusion. So what the main infantry company commanders should consider now, how to continue to follow the regiment commander.

Seeing that several main company commanders were ready to move, Tang Dao waved his hand and signaled everyone not to hurry. He said slowly: "In view of the lack of troops in southeastern Shanxi and southern Hebei after our four regiments left, the War Zone Command specially established a garrison brigade directly led by the southern Hebei Administration. The title of deputy commissioner of the southern Hebei Administration is still retained. The garrison brigade is below the deputy brigade commander, the regiment, battalion, and company commander are all recommended by our four regiments, and the troops are drawn from the local troops.

In addition, after my efforts in the southeastern Shanxi, Chief Yan also agreed to establish a security camp in Licheng, Shecheng and Changzhi counties, which was managed by the headquarters of the 80th Army, and its headquarters was located in Dakouzidong Town.

Regarding the issue of who will follow the main force of the team or stay in North China, the team will have its own allocation plan, but I will first elaborate on a principle that whether in Central and South China or North China, it is a battlefield of anti-Japanese war, and it has never been said that it is safer and more dangerous.

The battlefield in North China seems to be stable now, and our Chinese army and the Japanese army are in a stalemate, but in fact, the newly appointed commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, Okamura Koji, is one of the most difficult generals in the Japanese invading army.

The officers and soldiers who remained in North China may face a battlefield that is even more severe than when we first arrived in North China.

After all, when we first came, the Japanese North China Front Army did not take our mere infantry regiment seriously, but now when we are thinking about it, we often have one to two permanent divisions. In March, even their oldest 1st Division was dispatched.

So, my idea is that at least half of the 12 main infantry companies, air defense battalions, artillery battalions, cavalry battalions and baggage battalions in the 4 large infantry battalions should be left on the battlefield in North China to cope with the more dangerous combat situation against Japan in the future.

Especially in the southern Hebei Plain, we must fight against the Japanese army more resolutely, and we must not ruin the good situation that our regiment and the officers and soldiers of the 80th Army over the past year have earned with sacrifices.”

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Yes, there are only 6 places left now. The eight infantry company commanders present all showed bitter faces, and they all turned their attention to their respective battalion commanders sitting in the front.

They all followed Tang Dao's old subordinates for nearly three years. How could they not know the temper of Tang Tuanzhao? He said he would keep half of them, which means he had carefully calculated that he might have chosen someone in his heart now. Whether they can continue to follow the commanders, no matter how much the major fights, it is useless. It depends on their own battalion commanders.

Little did they know that the four infantry battalions commanders were also wondering in their hearts.

In other words, it can be called entanglement.

They all understood what Tang Dao said just now. Although the troops left behind were transformed into local garrison troops, their level would be increased. Two infantry regiments would be set up under a brigade, which would most likely mean that the battalion commander would become regiment commander, and the company commander would become battalion commander, which would solve the embarrassment of many veteran company commanders who could only be promoted but who could not be promoted in real positions.

This is probably the benefit the regiment commander used this order to win for his brothers.

For example, the second battalion commander Guo Shouzhi has been promoted to Army Lieutenant Colonel for almost three years, and he is just one kick away and becomes Army colonel. If he can choose to stay this time, with his qualifications in the Four Corps, he will be one of the commanders of the two infantry regiments of the garrison brigade.

However, although Lao Guo, who had always longed to return home in glory, he could not be happy when he thought that if he made this decision, he might never be able to fight under Tang Dao's command and separate from so many comrades who had been with him day and night.

Lei Xiong, the second-ranked figure in the Four-Levels regiment, also frowned. He was also a thick and thin general in the Four-Levels regiment. When Tang Dao said he would set up a garrison brigade, his heart skipped a beat.

He has always clearly understood his position in the Four-Levels Group. Only when Tang Dao is away will he show his strength. If Tang Dao is there, he will only do his own deputy, but Tang Dao rarely acts arbitrary. Whenever there is any major event, he will basically negotiate with the heads of the League headquarters, so that several heads of the Four-Levels Group have a good balance between superior and subordinate relationships and close comrades-in-arms. Lei Xiong is also very satisfied with his current position.

To a certain extent, Lei Xiong was more willing to be a general. Wherever Tang Dao's command knife pointed, he led his troops to kill him, rather than becoming a military chief who always pays attention to the overall situation and is almost exhausted.

Although Tang Dao didn't look at him just now, Lei Xiong could clearly feel that the deputy brigade commander seemed to be preparing for him.

Lei Xiong quickly calculated in his mind. After thinking about it, he could only turn his attention to Ye Chenghuan and Shangguan Yun. The only two people in the entire Four-Entertainment Group could compare with him.

But Ye Chenghuan was known as both civil and military in the 683 Brigade, and his head was very smart. Facing Lei Xiong's glance at him, he ignored him directly.

Shangguan Yun, the chief of staff who had been training in the Imperial Guard for five or six years, was well aware of the way of being an official, so he lowered his head and looked at the teacup in his hand, as if the peony flower on the teacup was so beautiful that he didn't want to go.

"Royal rank, please ask! The brigade commander of the garrison brigade is a brigade commander Wang? Then I think the deputy brigade commander must be a broad-minded and well-educated person to not easily have disputes. Don't make a slutty person to take office. It is a trivial matter to cause military and political discord, and it will never be possible to affect the situation of the war in southern Hebei." Seeing that the two colleagues did not accept his eyes, Lei Xiong could only bite his back teeth and take the initiative.

A group of officers were given the shameless appearance of the deputy Lei Group, and you were almost reporting your ID card! In order to avoid this job, you are really willing to be the second person in the Four-Entertainment Group, and your dog's temper is bald.

After looking at his shy old partner, Tang Dao also wanted to wipe his sweat. After thinking about it, he could only sigh and tell him the truth: "The position of the brigade commander is vacant. The deputy brigade commander will command the entire brigade, and the garrison brigade is a local force. The personnel rights are under the responsibility of the Hebei-South Administrative Office. The theater command will not intervene.

Commander Yan suggested that those who take on this great task must be veterans with more than ten years of military experience, and during three years of combat against Japan, they have served as battalion, regiment-level military chief officer and have sufficient military merits, and it is best not to be promoted in the military rank, which is a transfer of the same level."

Good guy, it turns out that the deputy brigade commander is the actual supreme commander.

As for the vacant brigade commander, is it still necessary to say? In the eyes of the officers of the Four Army Regiment, no one can sit in that position except his own chief. Don’t think about it, that is naturally the backup plan left by the smart commander in the Second War Zone to transfer back to the Four Army Regiment for the right time.

Of course, these are not the key points. The key points are that Tang Tuanzu almost didn’t report his ID card. After these rules and regulations, who is qualified to hold this position besides Lei Xiong?

"This..." Lei Xiong, who was reluctant to hear Tang Dao say this, was extremely angry for a moment, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Unexpectedly, he, the second commander, became the one who must be left behind. Although the deputy regiment commander became the deputy brigade commander, crossed two levels of military positions, and held real power, he didn't want to do it at all!

Even if he knew that Tang Dao had absolute trust in him, he would be relieved to hand over the lives of the thousands of brothers left behind to his hands.

The same position you will take on will be the responsibility you will bear. This has been the case in all dynasties.

"Then I recommend Director Ye. He has been in the army for more than ten years, has rich combat experience, and has command experience as the head of the first regiment. Moreover, whether in the southeastern Shanxi or southern Hebei battlefields, the most important friendly army of our regiment is the Eighty Group Army. In terms of familiarity, no one in our regiment can compare to Director Ye." Lei Xiong simply did not hide it, and it was also the last dying struggle.

On the issue of promotion, Deputy Lei Tuan adheres to the principle of "to be promoted to a fellow Taoist but not to be promoted to poverty", and the person he recommended is not inferior to him in terms of qualifications and abilities.

"That's not true. Deputy Commander Lei's reputation in the regiment is second only to the regiment. Our regiment is all elite soldiers and generals. I, Ye Chenghuan, is also a conceited person, but there is still a big gap with Deputy Commander Lei. If the combat effectiveness declines due to insufficient command, it will be extremely irresponsible to the people of southern Hebei. I think it's better to be Deputy Commander Lei to take on this great task. Chief of Staff Shangguan, is this the case?" Ye Chenghuan waved his hand and refused, and even brought Shangguan Yun up.

Looking at Lei Xiong's burning gaze, Shangguan Yun thought about it carefully and felt that it was better to "become a fellow Taoist, but not a poor person". After all, he nodded and agreed to Ye Chenghuan.

"Shangguan, you are so good, 'Bent me'!" Lei Xiong rolled his eyes so much that he was so angry that he even used the word "Bent me".

"Deputy Lei's brigade, I'm just sticking to the truth. If I, Shangguan Yun, stay in the garrison brigade, you are not the deputy brigade commander, and I will be the first one to dissatisfied." Shangguan Yun said with a smile.

Shangguan Yun also figured it out in an instant. It is most appropriate for Lei Xiong to stay and become the supreme commander of the Four Army Regiment in North China. Although Ye Chenghuan's command ability is not weaker than Lei Xiong, he joined the Four Army Regiment halfway, and Lei Xiong is much worse in balancing the factions within the Four Army Regiment.

Through a sentence that Tang Tuanzhao often said: "Fortresses are often broken from the inside." He already knew who the garrison brigade chief was the most desirable one of Tang Dao.

If it were other troops, in order to get promoted, everyone would rush to the top and even speak ill of each other. However, on the other hand, the Sixing Regiment was the other way around. As the position of deputy brigade commander, several chief officials of the Sixing Regiment promoted each other, but none of them wanted to be the one.

It can't be said to be a miracle! It's also extremely rare.

This shows that in this chaotic era where wars are everywhere, these Chinese soldiers who survived the war are pure enough.

At least in their hearts, comrades are far more important than official positions.

This made Tang Dao very pleased. In the face of the temptation of promotion, his comrades and brothers did not disappoint him.

"Okay, Director Ye has made great contributions to our regiment's politics, personnel, and officer training in the past three years. This time, our regiment's main force attacked the Central China War Zone, and we have to bother Director Ye. It is not up to me to decide whether you, Brother Lei, or stay. The matter of the head of the garrison brigade will be decided by the enlarged military meeting of the regiment headquarters." Tang Dao took the initiative to suspend the issue of "no promotion" initiated by Lei Xiong.

"Now, the chief officers of the regiment headquarters and all battalion commanders stay to meet to formulate specific strategies for division of troops. The rest can communicate the spirit of the regiment headquarters military meeting verbally to the officers and soldiers. Whether they are leaving or staying, everyone must continue to be highly vigilant.

Also, tell your brothers that no matter where we are, we are Chinese soldiers, fighting to defend this country and the people!”

"Yes!" All the company-level officers stood up and stood attentively, quickly picked up their military caps and put them on and left the conference room.

This military meeting was longer than everyone thought.

From 11:30 p.m. to the early morning, the middle cooking class also gave each person a bowl of chopped green onion noodles. It was not until the morning glow in the sky appeared and the door of the conference room opened.

The specific strategy of division of troops has not been dispatched to each battalion and company, but the garrison brigade in southern Hebei and the chief officers stationed in the Dakouzidong Security Camp have already been decided.

Lei Xiong, the highest commander of the garrison brigade, was already a foregone conclusion. As the second-ranking figure behind the soul figure of Tang Dao, the four-line regiment, he was the deputy brigade commander, and everyone from battalion commander to top corps were convinced.

The garrison brigade is a standard brigade, with two regiments and six infantry battalions. The brigade headquarters and the regiment headquarters have their own direct troops.

Shangguan Yun became the chief of staff of the garrison brigade and the commander of the 1st garrison garrison 1. Guo Shouzhi was promoted to the army colonel as he wished, and served as the commander of the 2nd garrison 2. The six infantry battalions commanders were all served as the six infantry company commanders belonging to the former 4th infantry battalion.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the garrison brigade, the 4th battalion was transferred to the garrison brigade in an entire system. In addition, three infantry companies from the 3rd, 6th and 8th companies were transferred to the garrison brigade sequence. The 6 main infantry companies were originally about 300 formal soldiers. After the reserve squad of each company was transferred to active service, the number of new recruits was selected from the new recruit battalion, and the number was expanded to 600, and directly became infantry battalions.

Originally, only a few of the six company commanders, such as Shi Hao and Tang Li, were promoted to majors. This time, they completed the leap from lieutenant to school officials, promoted to majors, and even became actual battalion commanders.

The companies, platoons and squad leaders of each battalion were promoted from the original officers and soldiers of each company!

After three years of combat, the Four Lines Regiment no longer lacks grassroots commanders as before. Each platoon and squad have veterans with sufficient combat experience. Some infantry squads even have four or five sergeants and sergeants. Not to mention being the squad leader, even being the platoon leader is enough to be competent.

This is also the confidence that Tang Dao dared to form an infantry battalion based on an infantry company. Perhaps a long time ago, he had already prepared for this day.

This was only when the garrison brigade organization plan was issued to each company-level officer that they suddenly realized.
