The next morning, Zhou Weiguo gathered all the commanders above the company level for a meeting at the headquarters.
"We received the weapons and equipment last night, but we haven't distributed them yet. Now that the Japanese are pressing us, we have to reorganize our troops as soon as possible. In order to facilitate combat and logistics supplies, the entire army had to unify their weapons and equipment. Now, we are equipped with Mauser 98K rifles, light machine guns with Bren light machine guns, and heavy machine guns with Browning M2s. In addition, there were also cannons and so on, all of which were equipped with the same equipment.
In addition, in order to cope with the upcoming Japanese army, and to be able to fight against the Japanese army and the new soldiers, I have re-allocated the entire army. This is the military establishment table that I have developed.”
After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, he took out a list and passed it on.
The general content of this list was as follows:
Infantry Squad: 12 people, 3 submachine guns, 1 light machine gun, 2 grenade launchers.
Recon Squad: 12 people, all equipped with submachine guns, each with a pistol and a bayonet.
Communication Squad: 12 people.
Infantry platoons: Four infantry squads, 48 people, plus one platoon leader and two deputy platoon leaders, a total of 51 people.
Machine Gun Platoon: 8 heavy machine guns, 12 light machine guns, 1 company commander, 2 deputy company commanders, a total of 51 people.
The reconnaissance platoons were the same as the infantry cannons, but each person was equipped with a submachine gun, a pistol, and a bayonet.
Mortar Platoon: 12 mortars, 36 men.
The guard platoons were aligned with the infantry platoons.
Infantry Company: 3 infantry platoons, 1 mortar platoon, 1 machine gun platoon, 1 company commander, 2 deputy company commanders, 1 telegram operator, a total of 244 people.
Guard Company: Same as infantry company.
Logistics Company: 120 people, mainly using single-wheeled carts, ox carts, horse carriages, mules and horses as transportation tools.
Field artillery company: four 75mm field artillery, six 81mm mortars, a guard squad of 12 people, 46 people, a company commander, a deputy company commander, a telegram operator, a commander, a total of 50 people.
Infantry Battalion: 4 infantry companies, 1 75mm field artillery company, 1 battalion command post, guard platoon, reconnaissance squad, a total of 1104 people. Battalion command post, 15 people
The Field Artillery Battalion consisted of twelve 75mm field artillery, eighteen 81mm mortars, three 120mm mortars, one escort platoon, one ammunition platoon, one battalion commander, two deputy battalion commanders, two telegram operators, and three commanders. There were a total of 212 people.
Infantry Regiment: three infantry battalions, one field artillery battalion, one regimental headquarters, one reconnaissance platoon, one logistics company, one guard company, and one communications squad. A total of 3787 people. The regiment-level command center had thirty-one people. Due to the lack of talent, there was no need to set up an engineering company or other units.
The establishment list that Zhou Weiguo made was actually a temporary one. It was mainly for the reorganization of the establishment in order to fight against the Japanese army.
The two military adjutants were also the decision that Zhou Weiguo made to ensure that he would not lack officers in the future. The people below were all watching. Zhou Weiguo was sitting at the head of the table, smoking slowly.
"Have you all finished reading? After reading it, I will say a few words. Right now, we have a total of 7,800 soldiers. These troops were divided into two regiments, and the remaining 300 or so would be used as the direct force of the brigade headquarters. Next, I will talk about the candidates for the two regiment commanders.”
Zhou Weiguo stood up and looked at everyone after he finished smoking.
Following that, the officers stood up and waited for Zhou Weiguo's orders.
"The first regiment commander will be Fang Shengli, and the second regiment commander will be Chang Debiao. As for the company commanders of the various battalions, give me a list of names after you go down. As for the military uniforms, please wait for a while. According to the information from the battalion, our military uniforms, as well as the weapons and ammunition allocated to us by the government, will arrive tonight and tomorrow night. The military uniforms will arrive tonight, and I will distribute them to everyone. Regarding the issue of military pay, the battalion in Wu Han had already replied and would arrive in three days. Xinpu, I'll have to trouble you to stay in my regiment headquarters for a while. We're short on troops now. We'll distribute them to you when we have troops! In addition, when I go down later, I will send a telegram to the chairman and ask all of you to come under me!”
Zhou Weiguo turned to Sun Xinpu and smiled.
"No problem! We brothers don't have to be so polite!”
Sun Xinpu knew the current situation, so he didn't have any other thoughts.
"En! Alright! Go down and reorganize the troops. I'll give weapons and ammunition to whoever completes the reorganization first. Oh right, regarding the lack of heavy machine gunners, go down and train them. However, he would teach them how to use it. If your marksmanship isn't good, use bullets to practice. We have plenty of bullets, but you must practice your marksmanship well. According to the information I received, the Japanese will arrive in about two days. "The Japanese have been marching for a few days. They will probably rest for a few days before they attack, so you still have time. You must practice your marksmanship!”
Zhou Weiguo knew that when the Japanese attacked Nanjing, they did not have much logistics. After Nanjing, they had even less logistics. Their war progressed too quickly, and their logistics troops could not keep up.
The Japanese's base camp had made a hasty decision to attack Nanjing. They had originally decided to stop the war when they reached the Su-Jia line and digest this fertile land first. However, the commanders of the Japanese's 6th division and 10th division had decided to attack the upper hand. When they crossed the Su-Jia line, the Japanese's base camp knew that the situation was irreversible. Therefore, they abandoned the previous battle plan and reissued the battle plan. They were determined to take down Nanjing. They made the decision quickly. But their logistics could not keep up.
Therefore, Zhou Weiguo knew that after the Japanese arrived at Huainan, they would have to wait for the logistics team to transport most of the logistics before they would start the operation.
After they left, Zhou Weiguo asked Sun Xinpu to record the order and prepare to generate electricity for the camp.
" Reporting to the chairman, our department has only been established for a short period of time. We lack talents and soldiers. Our department is currently in a shortage of officers. We are now asking the chairman for the support of officers…"
.
" Our department has only been established for a short period of time. We are short of talents and soldiers. Now, our department is in short supply of officers. We are specially asking the chairman for the support of officers. We hope that the chairman can transfer Sun Liren, the former colonel of the fourth regiment of the tax police general regiment, Liao Yaoxiang, the lieutenant colonel of the second brigade of the cavalry of the Central Teaching Corps, and Zhang Zongling, the colonel of the 305th regiment of the 153rd brigade of the 51st division of the 74th army."
The telegram Zhou Weiguo sent to the chairman quickly reached the chairman's hands.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:042020185:17PM
