Chapter 1405: Division of troops (Part 2)
In addition to the six infantry battalions, the garrison brigade also has its own direct troops!
The former battalion leader of the security camp, Lao Hei, led the 1st company of the security camp to transfer to the garrison brigade to establish a guard battalion, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel.
Mo Songzi, the company commander of the 1st Air Defense Battalion Company, was promoted to major, and led the former artillery battalion, and part of the air defense battalion was transferred to the garrison brigade to establish the artillery battalion, with heavy artillery company and two air defense companies.
The heavy artillery company and the air defense company are not small, each with nearly 500 soldiers.
The heavy artillery company is equipped with 8 150 howitzers, and 6 150 howitzers will be pulled back to Dakouzidong Town to become a heavy weapon for the defense station.
The other 14 150 howitzers are in exchange, and will be received by the war zone and a heavy artillery regiment will be established. The stingy old man also promised that these 14 heavy artillery will not be placed elsewhere, but will inevitably be placed on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain.
The air defense company is equipped with Surotong 20mm dual-mounted machine gun, a quad-mounted 12.7mm heavy machine gun and Bofos 40mm anti-aircraft gun, taking into account high, medium and low altitude defense.
Originally, in order to strengthen the mobility of the artillery battalion of the garrison brigade, Tang Dao planned to divide the jeep he brought back this time to the garrison brigade, but this suggestion was firmly rejected by Lei Xiong and Shangguan Yun.
They knew that the garrison brigade was fighting in familiar places at least, while the main force of the Four Lines Regiment had to march more than 2,000 miles. One more vehicle that could drag 40mm Bofos anti-aircraft guns would be added to the main force with more air defense support, and then there might be a chance to see many brothers again.
The 75mm mountain cannon and the 150mm heavy force were assigned to two garrison regiments, and each of the two regiments established a direct artillery battalion of the regiment headquarters.
The tactics of mountain cannons in several defensive wars in southern Hebei were actually weakened, but with the changes in tactical changes of Okamura Koji, the garrison brigade will inevitably not just passive defense, but will also launch a raid on the Japanese army's future bunker deep trench war. The tactical role of mountain cannons, which is not heavy but powerful, is destined to be enhanced.
Therefore, each regiment's mountain artillery company will have 8 41 mountain artillery and 4 Bofos mountain artillery. The two regiments can reach 24 mountain artillery pieces, which will be enough to compete with most of the Japanese artillery regiments.
150 heavy force becomes another important part of the regiment artillery. Although the range is not long, its power is strong enough, which is particularly important for defensive warfare. A heavy force company has 12 gates and 150 millimeter heavy force. A round of volleys can allow the Japanese army to understand what a landslide is.
When we arrived at the infantry battalion level, since the three 8mm howitzers equipped by the four infantry battalions were handed over to the main force of the Four Rangers, the battalion-level artillery support firepower was mainly composed of the captured 70mm infantry artillery and 82 force. In this way, the infantry battalion-level firepower support company will have 4 70mm infantry artillery and 82 force.
In this way, the garrison brigade constitutes the fourth-level heavy firepower support of the brigade, regiment, battalion and squad platoon. In terms of heavy firepower support alone, the 600-person infantry battalion is far stronger than a Japanese infantry brigade. The 2,500-person standard regiment can defeat a Japanese infantry gang. The heavy firepower of the entire garrison brigade can still compete with the 1st Division, which is strengthened by 105 howitzers and 150 howitzers.
To put it bluntly, Tang Tuanzhan, who was also infected with fire phobia in the future, is still building a garrison brigade with heavy firepower as the core.
In addition to the cavalry battalion, baggage battalion, engineering battalion and other units, the garrison brigade can reach 7,500 people, which is almost the force of a 10,000-level B Division. Relying on the various fortifications built in southern Hebei for more than a year and the hearts of the people who have been gathered, the garrison brigade can at least resist the attack of a Type A Division.
If we cooperate with the 480th Army and the booming militia troops in southern Hebei, unless Okamura Koji has enough courage to mobilize more than 4 divisions to carry out a large-scale sweep, there will be no worries in southern Hebei.
A garrison brigade solved the promotion problems of most veterans with military achievements in the former Four Corps, which was also considered an unexpected surprise to receive the transfer order.
In terms of the former Four-Road Regiment Terminal in Dakouzidong Town, since the Four-Road Regiment has been transferred, it can no longer be called the Four-Road Regiment Terminal, but has been changed to the Security Camp Terminal of the Three Counties in Southeast Jin.
The largest field hospital in North China, which is still under construction, has been retained. A field hospital that can receive more than 4,000 minor and serious injuries will become the most reliable guarantee for Chinese officers and soldiers in the battlefields in southeastern Shanxi and even Hebei Province.
For this reason, the stingy old man also specially approved the formal establishment of this large field hospital, with the hospital level at the deputy regiment level and handed over to the headquarters of the 80th Army stationed in southeastern Shanxi for the onus.
The 80th Army called back that except for sending a deputy regiment commander-level officer to the field hospital as director of the political department, the rest of the personnel arrangements were decided by the Four Corps.
In the minutes of the military meeting of the Four Army Regiment, Major Tan Tai Mingyue will be appointed as the director of the First Military Hospital of Taihang, Lieutenant Erya will serve as the assistant director and deputy company commander of the hospital escort company, and Lieutenant Tu Yunsheng, who was transferred from the 7th Company, will serve as the company commander.
With Tu Yunsheng's military achievements, he could have been the main platoon leader for a long time, but he was unwilling to leave his squad 4, so he did not arrange a suitable position for him.
This time, Tang Dao took advantage of this opportunity to reject Leng Feng's proposal to promote Tu Yunsheng to the 3rd platoon leader in the 7th Company and directly promoted him to lieutenant company commander.
The newly established hospital has many staff members and the escort company has a heavy responsibility. Tang Dao is not at ease if he does not have a brave, wise and sufficient battlefield experience to be the company commander.
No matter how hard Li Jiujin, the company commander of the 7th Company, could not bear to part with his confidant general, he could only grin and let him go for the sake of the regiment commander and Dan Tai Mingyue.
The hospital escort company with 200 disabled veterans and 800 recruits may become the largest company-level unit since the establishment of the Four Corps.
However, although the personnel of the escort company far exceed the escort company, it did not violate the regulations, because most of the escort company personnel are not counted among the formal staff of the hospital. Except for a few companies and platoon-level officials, 90% of the personnel are classified as three-county security battalion staff, and military pay is also paid by the overseas company that donated funds to build the hospital.
This is also considered as Tang Dao exploring a new sequence of Japanese combat personnel, hire-type combat.
At the same time, at Ye Chenghuan's suggestion, the hospital also opened up a new function, setting up a military medical school within the hospital to train doctors and nurses needed for war.
The white doctor supported by the International Red Cross serves as the provost of the military medical training school, and formulates training tutorials for trainees. The doctor's course is two years and the nurse's course is eight months.
But Ye Chenghuan may not know that it was his suggestion that this military medical school established within the field hospital has developed into the largest military medical school in North China after several years and will become the largest military medical university in China in the future.
Thousands of military doctors and nurses walked out of here and rushed to various battlefields in North China and even the entire China, and many people even entered the ice field.
Although it is moving to the metropolis for development in the future, the old campus located in the depths of Taihang Mountains, which is only 10 acres in the radius of land, has been preserved.
The stone wall with the foundation of the Taihang stone standing in front of the wooden school gate is engraved with a sentence and signature left by every graduate when he left his alma mater during the war. Many of them have their names drawn by the school.
The dense boxes make patients with dense phobia feel like they are called trembling, but in fact, it is an impulse that everyone will have.
During the war, the school trained more than 3,300 doctors and nurses, and more than one-third of the victims were killed!
This huge rock that fell here in ancient times has become the holy land of the Military Medical University. Every class of graduates will come here when they leave their alma mater and go to the army to report, learn from their ancestors, engrave a sentence here, and solemnly sign their own name.
The spiritual inheritance of Chinese soldiers will never be cut off!
The arsenal originally under the Ordnance Department of the Four Army Regiment was also renamed Taihang Arsenal and handed over the whole to the Eighty Army. Lieutenant Colonel Dan Tai Yunshu, the former director of the Ordnance Department of the Four Army Regiment, will become the first director of the Taihang Arsenal, and Teacher Xiao He is the deputy director and chief engineer.
The escort work of the military factory is entrusted to the 80th Army.
It is said that the deputy commander-in-chief of the 80th Army received the telegram from the Four Lines Regiment and was stunned for a long time before smiling.
Tang Tuanzu is really good at moving flowers and wood. No one can refuse such a medium-sized arsenal that can produce thousands of guns and 250,000 bullets per month, and even has sufficient R&D capabilities. It is even more impossible for the 80th Army, which lacks these.
For this precious arsenal, it is worth sending a battalion, even a regiment.
That happened to be what the Tang regiment wanted. The Tang regiment did not need a single person and a single shot to ensure the safety of the arsenal. In the past, the Eighty Army had to snatch some rails and rob some Japanese supplies and gave them to the Four Corps, and they could exchange them for the weapons. Now, it's better that they are their fathers, and they have to supply all kinds of raw materials for their own production.
Moreover, they did not bother to say that they were still in the southeastern Shanxi and southern Hebei. If they needed ammunition and military supplements, how could the arsenal not give it?
Not to mention the scientific research, technology, production, and management personnel of the arsenal were all old comrades in the Four Army Regiment. Even the Eighty Army itself could not say anything to refuse!
To put it bluntly, the Sixing Group successfully stripped away a "burden" through the transfer order, but what should be obtained from it was a little bit too much. Just say that Tang Tuanzuo was playing tricks on this trick.
Of course, the Tang regiment did not say that he would leave the arsenal. The arsenal was assigned to the 80th Army, but the military pay was still paid according to the standards set before, and the overseas Chinese company was also borne by the overseas Chinese company.
It’s not that the Eighty Army can’t afford military pay, but that they really have no money. Even the division commander only has five yuan in fiat currency per month. Brigade Commander Cheng Da is a major general brigade commander. He wants to invite a guest and search for money for two months and ask them to bear the military pay. Tang Dao is worried that the workers who are used to getting high-paying in the arsenal will ‘rebelle’.
This has nothing to do with morality, but true human nature. No matter how noble the reason is, or how big the boss draws, the monthly salary drops from 10,000 to 500 yuan. Look, there are still people working!
Finally, there are the security camps in the three counties, which are also the troops with the most personnel left by the Four Corps in southeastern Shanxi.
The security camp, which used to be simply responsible for the security of the garrison, now still has to take on combat tasks in southeastern Shanxi and the Japanese army, and its organization has expanded from 3,000 people to 4,000 people.
However, the old battalion commander took away 800 elite troops, so the security camp will select 1,000 of the recruits trained in the past six months, and select another 800 from the larger militia system in southern Hebei.
Many people are speculating about who the security camp is. After all, this is a military chief who commands 4,000 people. His ability and prestige, including the trust of the Tang Tuan, are indispensable.
Gu Xishui and Lu Sanjiang have the highest calls for the rise, one is the commander of the mountain infantry company and the other is the commander of the reconnaissance company. The two are both trusted by Tang Dao and tough and brave, and are the most outstanding young officers of the Four Lines Regiment.
In the end, the candidate was Wei Donglai, the former company commander of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion, to take on this position!
Once the candidate was released, no one was gossiping. Wei Donglai was originally a major in the army and had strong abilities. The second company under his command was the main company of the 1st Battalion, and he made many military achievements.
It is said to be a defense battalion, but in fact, the organization of an infantry regiment must not be worse than that of the regiment. Except for the less veterans, the combat power is not as good as the main force of the regiment, but the firepower configuration it should have is the same. After a period of training, I believe that the combat power will not be much worse than that of the two garrison regiments.
If you add 6 150 heavy artillery that will be transferred into Dakouzidong Town, relying solely on defense, you will never be at a disadvantage in the battle with a brigade.
This is just the power of a defense battalion. If the Field Hospital Security Company and the 80th Group Army were added to a reinforcement battalion stationed in the military factory, the 108th Division stationed in Licheng, Changzhi and other places all took the attacks of its troops, and it might not be possible to get anything good.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The personnel arrangements and organization left in the battlefield in North China are roughly the same, and the main force of the Four Lines Group, who are about to travel thousands of miles away, can be regarded as the elite.
The number of heads of the regiment headquarters has not decreased, and the personnel have changed slightly. The regiment commander Tang Dao, deputy regiment commander Ye Chenghuan and director of the Political Department have basically clarified the position of the second military chief. The chief of staff is Leng Feng, and the director of the Military Control Department is still Lieutenant Colonel Zhuang Shisan.
The units directly under the jurisdiction have changed slightly. Pang Dahai is the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, Cheng Tieshou is the battalion commander of the air defense battalion, and Yang Xiaoshan, the former deputy battalion commander of the security battalion, was appointed as the battalion commander of the special battalion, with the communications company, medical brigade, chariot company, guard company, etc.; Bai Sheng's direct engineering company was changed to the engineering battalion, and the personnel structure was expanded from more than 300 people to 500 people.
Putting aside the original organization, the new chariot company under the Special Service Battalion can be regarded as the most powerful army of the Four Corps at present.
The 40 TKS modified tanks imported by the Four Rangers through Krupp were defensive wars in the Battle of Purple Mountain, and most of the battlefields were steeper mountains. In fact, they were mainly responsible for dragging artillery tasks and were not used for battlefield rushing.
It can be said that this secret weapon was not exposed to the Japanese army.
According to Lei Xiong's meaning, these 40 small tank security brigades with 20mm machine guns and 12.7mm heavy machine guns were not left, and they were all taken away by the main force of the regiment. However, Tang Dao still considered the large-scale fierce battle that might break out in the battlefield in North China, leaving 12 for the security brigade. Even if it is not used to attack, it is OK to drag 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 150 heavy artillery.
28 small TKS tanks modified with 20mm machine guns and 12.7mm heavy machine guns formed the first large-scale chariot company of the Four Route Regiment. Deng Guihai, who has been a tank instructor for two years, served as the first company commander of the chariot company.
In the battle between Jindong, the Tang regiment commander promised him to become the tank platoon leader, and finally fulfilled it two years later.
The 11 armed assault jeeps were classified as guard companies, becoming the most powerful force among the troops directly under the regiment headquarters. They can carry an elite infantry platoon to a slightly further battlefield at any time.
It can be said that the secret service battalion today has the combat power of no more than any main infantry battalion. Yang Xiaoshan, who has been constantly training in various positions during three years of battle, finally took on this important position the moment before the Four Army Regiment rushed to another important battlefield, becoming one of the best young officers.
The regiment headquarters still has 4 infantry battalions under its jurisdiction. Chief of Staff Leng Feng also serves as the battalion commander of the first battalion, with 3 infantry companies and artillery companies under its jurisdiction. The first battalion is mainly composed of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion and the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion. The original battalion belongs to the artillery company, and some new recruits are drawn.
Zhao Daqiang served as the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion, with the same organization as the 1st Battalion. The main personnel are the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion, the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion, and the artillery company, and some new recruits were drawn.
Li Jiujin served as the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion, with the same rank as that of the 1st Battalion. The personnel were mainly composed of personnel who had not been transferred from the original 3rd Battalion.
Cai Dadao served as the battalion commander of the 4th Battalion, with the same organization as the 1st Battalion, and the personnel were composed of the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion, the former Arsenal Security Company, and the former 4th Battalion Artillery Company.
Although Major Qian Dazhu did not become the commander of the first battalion this time, no one knew his position in Tang Dao's heart. He served as deputy battalion commander of the first battalion and also served as the company commander of the 1st Company, becoming the number one sharp knife in the regiment.
At this point, Tang Dao's confidant generals have basically entered the core level of the Four Lines Group, most of whom are about the same age as Tang Dao, younger and more energetic.
The organization of each company was compressed, and the total strength of each of the four infantry battalions was less than 900, which was about the same as the strength of a Japanese infantry brigade.
The entire regiment has a total of about 5,600 people, and it’s nothing more than a few hundred people. After all, in this era, in the infantry regiment, there were no civilians or young men to help transport the baggage?
At this point, the personnel structure of the Four Army Regiments after the division of troops was roughly settled.
In the next week, each department began to gather personnel and carry out more detailed personnel preparation and weapons and equipment implementation work.
One evening 7 days later, representatives of the receiving arsenal sent by the Eighty Group Army arrived at the headquarters of the Four Regiment of Dakouzidong Town.
That was an old friend of the Four-Search Group and Brigade Commander Cheng Da.
