"Take good care of the injured soldiers and try to save those that can be saved.”
"Yes."
"Let's go and take a look at the battlefield.”Ye Tian decided to take a look at the battlefield.
The ground was in a mess. The injured soldiers had been carried away, and the corpses were basically cleaned up. However, the bloodstains on the ground and the craters on the ground told of the intensity and cruelty of the battle.
"Commander, the 8th Route Army is here. They want to see you.”
"Bring them over."
"Yes."
"May I know which officer of the national army you are facing? I am the new regiment commander of the 129th division, Li Yunlong. This is my first battalion commander, Zhang Dabiao."
"I am the Independent Brigade Commander Ye Tian."
"Hello, sir." Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao behind him immediately saluted. They were all old foxes, so they knew the rules of the military.
"You're welcome. I'm the same as your Eighth Route Army. I only obey the central government in name.”
"Nominally, we obey the central government. Sir, this?"
"I am a returned overseas Chinese who organized this army to fight against the Japanese and save the country. The national army gave me a brigade.”
"That's really the same as our Eighth Route Army, sir. We have to get close to each other like this.”
"I don't like the internal struggles of the Kuomintangs. I only want to serve the country wholeheartedly."
"Brigadier Gao Yi, you have to give me some face one day and let me treat you to a drink to thank you. You saved the lives of my entire team this time. I, Old Li, am not a person who doesn't know how to repay kindness.”
"There will be another chance."
Li Yun Long and Ye Tian chatted for a while before looking around. Gosh, he knew that the equipment was good from the sound of the cannons. Not to mention anything else, the military uniform looked impressive. The squad had light machine guns and the platoon had heavy machine guns. Grenade launchers, mortars, infantry cannons, howitzers, he had thought that he would be rich with just a few mortars, but now it turned out that he was still a poor farmer. Wait a minute, that was a radio station. There were dozens of people carrying one. I'm a regiment commander, but I don't even have a radio. The 8th Route Army is poor, and the radio is only used for brigades. The units below rely on the radio to communicate.
Ye Tian saw Li Yunlong staring at the radio station and smiled.""Why? Are you interested in the radio station?"
Li Yunlong smiled and replied," Of course, sir. You don't know that our Eighth Route Army is poor. My regiment doesn't even have a radio station. The division headquarters also uses those big and stupid guys. They're not like you, who are small and convenient. When I saw it, it was like a bachelor seeing a beautiful woman.”
"I know how hard it is for the Eighth Route Army. How about this? I'll give you all the spoils this time, and I'll give you another ten radio stations.”
"Aiyo, thank you, sir. You're really a good person.”Li Yunlong immediately beamed.
"Is it all for the great cause of resisting Japan?" Ye Tian smiled, thinking to himself, I know you, always thinking of taking all the benefits for yourself. It was a pity that his horizons were limited. You treated the Japanese's things as treasures, but I didn't take them seriously. The Japanese Army's items were the most shabby among the foreign powers. Due to Japan's limited resources, they were unable to maintain a strong army and navy at the same time. After weighing the pros and cons, they chose to focus on developing the navy. Throughout World War II, Japan was beaten up by the United States and the Soviet Union on land.
Li Yun Long's face was filled with gratitude as Ye Tian led his team back to their respective homes.
In the end, Li Yunlong was still dismissed because he hadn't followed orders to break out of Yujialing. Moreover, Ye Tian's destruction of the Sakata United Army had destroyed his miracle, and he was still on track to become the factory manager.
Ye Tian's annihilation of the Sakata United had caused a sensation throughout the country, and both the Japanese and the Chinese were shocked. It was the first time that the Chinese army managed to annihilate the Japanese army and retreat unscathed. The 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army was just collecting the corpses of their comrades.
……
In Chungking, Generalissimo Jiang summoned his confidant Chen Cheng and the spy chief Dai Li and asked,""Who is this Ye Tian and the Independent Brigade?”
Dai Li replied," Headmaster, I heard that Ye Tian is a patriotic overseas Chinese. He returned to China to form the Anti-Japanese Army and was later given the title of Independent Brigade. I thought it was just a militia, but I didn't expect it to be so elite."”
The generalissimo thought for a moment and asked,"Is this person a commoner?"”
Chen Cheng replied," I've never heard of him having any connections with the Chinese government. He's been playing guerrilla warfare in the central Hebei region since the beginning. This time, he's done such a big thing."”
Dai Li added," The Independent Brigade has excellent firearms and is much stronger than the Japanese army. This time, they won a total victory in a face-to-face confrontation with the Japanese army. They are truly the elites of the world. Within the Dang Kingdom, only the Fifth Army and a few other elites could compare.”
"Alright," said the Generalissimo,"as long as we don't agree to it, we can fight for it. This time, Ye Tian had made a great contribution, so did the Central Government need to reward him? This way, he would be promoted to a division. Let's call it an independent division. He was also awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal and rewarded his troops with 100,000 yuan.”
"Yes, I'll do it immediately."
……
In Yan 'an, a certain someone was standing outside, deep in thought. The cigarette in his hand was about to burn out.
"Leader, from the report of the 129th Division, this independent brigade is still very friendly to us. This time, we gave the 129th Division ten radio stations and a lot of seized equipment.”
"Yes, it's indeed not bad. Let them have a good relationship with them. It's best if they can pull them to our side.”
……
Beiping, the Japanese North China Command, Commander Terauchi Shouichi was angry.
"Bage, what are you doing? The intelligence of the independent brigade is blank. We don't know where the equipment came from, we don't know how they developed, and we actually didn't know that such a force had appeared right under our noses.”
"Commander, they are all equipped with German and American equipment, and their uniforms are also German. We suspect that they are closely related to the Germans.”
"Impossible. Germany is our ally. Now that the world war has broken out, they can't backstab us.”
"That might be the equipment sold privately by a German arms dealer. We can ask the German side.”
"Alright, I'll arrange it. However, we need to focus our forces to deal with the independent brigade. We can't let him continue to be so arrogant. He ordered the intelligence department to search the independent brigade's base. All departments should strengthen their defenses and not let the independent brigade take advantage of any loopholes.”
"Hi."
After returning to the base, Ye Tian's life returned to normal, training soldiers every day. However, he knew that these days would not last long. He had already entered the eyes of both China and Japan. It was impossible for him to live like this in the future.
Now that Ye Tian had accepted the Central Government's appointment, he also needed to expand his strength. Now that he had an appointment, it was even more legitimate.
Ye Tian then expanded the army. It was expanded to a division. The accumulated equipment was basically used up.
The following is the firepower of each group: A squad had three combat teams, each team had three people, one of them was the leader, one of them was the light machine gun team, and the other two were all rifle teams. A squad had three leaders and one squad leader, a total of 10 people.
Each platoon had a heavy machine gun fire support squad, equipped with three heavy machine gun teams. A platoon had a total of 42 platoon leaders and deputy platoon leaders.
Three platoons formed a company. Each company was equipped with a communication group of 3 people, a direct artillery platoon of 23 people, a vehicle squad of 6 vehicles and 12 people. A company, including the company commander and deputy commander, had a total of 167 people.
Three companies formed a battalion. Each battalion was equipped with a communications squad of 10 people and a direct mountain cannon company of 71 people.
Including a platoon of 18 vehicles with 36 people, a kitchen squad with 10 people, a guard squad with 10 people and a heavy fire support platoon with 32 people, a battalion had a total of 672 people.
Three battalions were a regiment, and the regiment was directly under the artillery battalion (including three artillery companies and one air defense company). A guard company, a chariot company, a communication platoon, a kitchen squad, a supply company, a reconnaissance company, and an engineering company. The total number of people in a group was about 3000.
The three regiments formed a division, which included the artillery regiment (including three artillery battalions and one emptying battalion), the chariot regiment, the baggage battalion, and the guard battalion. The kitchen platoon, communications company, reconnaissance battalion, the total number of people in a division was about 15000.
Armored Brigade:240 tanks, three vehicle regiments, one vehicle logistics regiment, one engineer regiment, one guard company, one maintenance battalion, one anti-tank artillery battalion, and an air defense battalion. Moreover, the tanks were no longer light tanks. There were also T-34 medium-sized tanks. As for the heavy tanks, Ye Tian didn't need them yet.
This reorganization was a huge change, from the lowest class to the division. The large number of vehicles allowed the Independent Division to be equipped with motorcycles, and the appearance of the armored brigade gave Ye Tian's troops a strong offensive capability, providing a guarantee for their next attack. The Artillery Regiment also achieved a huge leap. The Artillery Regiment only had two types of artillery: the 150mm Howitzer, which was responsible for killing, and the 150mm Cannon, which was responsible for artillery.
