Chapter 506 Breaking the comfort zone
Qian Dazhu is the first to be hit.
This new recruit who was originally from the Sichuan Army was just a high-ranking lieutenant before the Battle of Songjiang. However, he knew that this person was promoted to second lieutenant when he fought a battle to sergeant, and then to Cangcheng. After the battle to annihilate the Sixth Artillery Brigade, he turned into a lieutenant.
Of course, the number of upgrades to the military rank is a great achievement. Whether it is the street battle in Cangcheng, Songjiang, or the battle to annihilate the Sixth Artillery Brigade, Qian Dazhu's record is there. No one can say anything, no matter how it looks like a rocket.
However, it is a bit too awesome to directly serve as the chief officer of an infantry company with the rank of lieutenant, and he is also the commander of the second infantry company. He is still ranked above Li Jiujin, who has always followed Tang Dao. This is a bit too awesome, and it also shows that Tang Dao valued him extremely.
Moreover, judging from Tang Dao's choice, what he was interested in was not military qualifications or following his time, but performance on the battlefield. Except for Leng Feng, one of the four infantry company commanders, was promoted by the former army lieutenant, the other three, including Li Jiujin, were still big-headed soldiers before the war.
Yes, although this appointment list was issued in the name of Guo Junzuo, everyone knows that this must be Tang Dao's choice.
Even if Zhao Daqiang, who had served as the personal guard next to Lieutenant General Liu Yuqing, was promoted from the platoon leader of the guard platoon to the 4th Infantry Company, he did not rely on nepotism. Zhao Daqiang, with his guard platoon, was in the battle to annihilate the Sixth Artillery Brigade, conquered positions in succession and seized 6 machine guns with one platoon. He was absolutely a fierce man.
The reason why he and the company commander of the Xinke Special Service Company Major Peng Chong were unable to attend the Independence Battalion meeting was because they were still staying in the 67th Army Field Hospital.
Both men were injured. One of them was shot in the arm, the bullet was still embedded in the bone, and the other was bitten by shrapnel and half a pound of meat was peeled off.
As a result, the two of them were still holding on to the stretcher for twenty kilometers. As soon as they arrived at the defense line, they were ordered by Tang Dao to urgently send them to the field hospital. Otherwise, these "slight injuries" might not have killed them at the time, but in the end they died of wound infection, and it was too late to cry.
So, although they were absent from the meeting, there were still many appointments they should have.
In addition to Qian Dazhu, Lu Sanjiang and Gu Xishui are definitely "popular people" of Tang Dao. One serves as the platoon leader of the cavalry platoon and also serves as the deputy company commander of the special operations company, and the other directly becomes the captain of the special operations team directly under the battalion headquarters. Tang Dao has already said that he belongs to the deputy company level, which also means that Gu Xishui will advance to the army lieutenant at any time. More importantly, he will be under Tang Dao's personal command.
The power of the Tang Dao in the small-scale harassment of the Japanese 36th Infantry Brigade in the wilderness is obvious to all. With his personal guidance, the role of this special operations team is obvious.
If you can fight under the eyes of the commander, you will not have few military achievements. Is it worth mentioning that Gu Xishui's future future? If it is not done well, it is even more powerful than the promotion of several infantry company commanders.
These three are definitely new stars in the Independent Battalion. Don’t be aware that they are just lieutenants and second lieutenants now.
Of course, in addition to the three of them, some new lieutenants who did not come to attend the meeting were also valued.
For example, Heizi, the powerful machine gunner, had already left him the position of the platoon leader of the machine gun platoon, but Tang Dao was transferred to the Special Operations Team as the third captain.
For example, the Sergeant Mo Songzi, who was dug by Tang Dao from the 67th Army, who had killed the Japanese reconnaissance balloons, was promoted to second lieutenant after this battle and became the leader of the heavy machine gun platoon under Cheng Tieshou.
Or maybe Taozi, the only alive communication soldier under Qian Dazhu, also served as the communication platoon leader of the spy company because of his heroic performance in this battle.
......
There are so many things, Tang Dao’s appointment letter completely expresses a central meaning. Those who have made contributions will definitely be promoted and reused during combat, which is obvious to the motivation for morale.
As for whether anyone is unsatisfied, of course there are still some, such as the newly appointed chief and deputy company commander of the baggage company.
The baggage company is a logistics force in both the Chinese and Japanese armies, and is considered a second line.
From this moment on, they basically no longer served as the heads of the front-line combat troops, and the matter of earning meritorious service and receiving awards was naturally much worse than that of others.
But then again, whether their true intentions are to go to the battlefield to fight for their lives is not necessarily the case. At least from the same serious expression on their faces, they cannot tell their mood at this moment.
Perhaps, it may not be necessary to be happy.
But in general, basically everyone has their own general desire, and they feel relieved by a hanging heart.
The rest is naturally the question of how the troops are reorganized, it depends on which plan Tang Dao chooses.
"Okay, according to the military orders of the commanders at all levels, the appointment has been completed. Let's sit down!" Tang Dao pressed his hand down and took the lead in sitting down.
All the officers sat down and looked at Tang Dao with anticipation.
Especially the heads of the three infantry companies, the artillery company and the air defense firepower company are all professional players, and they are destined to not change too much.
For example, the artillery company in Pangdahai is nothing more than the remaining few mortars and two 92 infantry cannons seized from the Japanese army. They will not reduce the number of people and will only increase the number of personnel. The increased personnel is very likely to be the artillery company of the former security regiment, which not only has 6 mortars but also artillery.
In fact, this person is the one who can rest assured. Otherwise, the tall Shandong fat paper would smile so warmly? She would still be willing to give her colleagues a smile after she sat down?
The same is true for Cheng Tieshou's air defense fire support company. Three double-installed machine guns, two MG34 machine guns, and the remaining six Maxim heavy machine guns, including four heavy machine guns that came with the security regiment, are all in his bag, and his equipment and personnel will never be missing.
There is no need to worry about the baggage company. They only need to worry about whether they can identify whether they will raise horses and drive horses...
Of course, the only three new infantry company commanders flashed in their eyes. They were most concerned about personnel arrangements and equipment.
"The guard platoon of the spy company was mainly composed of the guard platoon of the former security battalion, and the shortage of personnel was drawn from the Songjiang Security Corps to join. The personnel were tentatively set at 40 people, the communication platoon was 16 people, the medical platoon staff was 20 people, and the cavalry platoon remains unchanged, with 22 people. In addition to the guard platoon all staff were equipped with a mausoleum gun and a submachine gun, the communication platoon and the medical platoon were equipped with a Southern Type 14 pistol, and the cavalry platoon was carried out accordingly.
The Artillery Company is composed of the artillery platoon of the former garrison battalion, the artillery squad of the Four Battalions, and the artillery company of the Songjiang Security Regiment. It has 150 personnel, equipped with two Type 92 infantry artillery and 6 Type 82 mortars.
The Air Defense Fire Support Company is composed of the heavy machine gun platoon of the former garrison battalion, the heavy machine gun squad of the Fourth Battalion, and the heavy machine gun company of the Songjiang Security Corps. It has 150 personnel, 3 machine guns and 6 heavy machine guns.
The baggage company was composed of officers and soldiers of the former Songjiang Security Corps, with 150 personnel, 200 pack horses, 30 large chariots, soldiers wearing Type 38 rifles, and those with squad leader and above were wearing Type 14 pistols from the southern part. Each baggage line was equipped with a Czech light machine gun.
The infantry company consists of three infantry companies and guard companies of the original garrison battalion, two infantry platoons of the four battalions and all remaining personnel of the Songjiang Security Regiment, with 150 personnel, infantry squads and infantry platoon firepower. The original firepower configuration of the garrison battalion remains unchanged. The company added a mortar squad and a heavy machine gun squad, equipped with two 82 mortars and a Maxim heavy machine gun.
For all specific personnel allocation lists, the infantry company will be formulated by Deputy Battalion Commander Lei Xiong, the artillery company and air defense fire support company will be formulated by Deputy Battalion Commander Guo Shouzhi, and the spy company and the baggage company will be formulated by Chief of Staff Zhuang Shisan. You will each inform your original subordinates and go to their new companies to report in the afternoon. The meeting will be dispersed!"
After Tang Dao finished speaking, he waved his hand to drive away the people, pretending not to see the bitter faces of the officers.
He had already made it clear, and he also clarified the division of labor between his three deputy battalion commanders.
Later, Lei Xiong was in charge of the infantry company, Guo Shouzhi was in charge of artillery and fire support, and Zhuang Shisan was in charge of logistics.
"Also, at noon, there will be extra meals, each person can have a can of canned meat plus two white flour buns, a bowl of rice, no wine!" Tang Dao added another sentence when the officials walked out.
This is a breakup meal!
All I can say is that this is a joyful and painful reorganization plan!
The organization of the four infantry companies was basically disrupted and reorganized, and the personnel changes a lot, causing the four infantry company commanders to scratch their heads. But some were also happy. Tang Dao sank the mortar and heavy machine guns into the company, greatly enhancing the company's heavy firepower.
The personnel changes of the Artillery Company and the Air Defense Fire Support Company were not much, but they were supplemented, but the equipment was less. The artillery Company of Pang Dahai was missing a few mortars, and Cheng Tieshou's fire support company lacked a few heavy machine guns, and the two most awesome MG34s were no longer visible.
On the contrary, the two baggage workers were the most enjoyable. All of them came out of the security team and the personnel were very familiar with them. However, their original equipment was gone, and they all turned into spears and pistols.
All losses and compensations were made up for, none of them were fully satisfied, but none of them were completely disappointed.
The reason why the phoenix was able to undergo nirvana was that it was not reborn in the fire?
The same goes for the army!
If you can't bear to part with what was once, you won't welcome new ones.
It is necessary to quickly form a new army of several troops and combine them into a whole and break the familiarity of this comfort zone.
All strangers will change after a battle.
Chapter completed!
