After Zhou Weiguo announced the regiment commander's appointment, he looked at the crowd below.
"Chu Yunfei, Dai Anlan, Sun Xinpu, Long Wenzhang, Zhou Tianyi, the five of you will choose 100 people from these 300 officers to train in your respective troops. At the same time, you will form your own regimental headquarters. After everything is arranged, report the list of officers to me.
Du Qingming, I have a task for you. After you go down, recruit 3,000 artillery soldiers in Huainan City and its surrounding areas. After the recruitment, train them hard. Right now, the artillery of the Heavy Artillery Regiment was transferred to me by the chairman from the rear. You can use them without worry. In addition, the composition of the Heavy Artillery Regiment is also a little complicated. The artillery inside was transferred to me by the chairman, but some of the other units inside were incorporated by the local security regiment. You will also train them into qualified artillery. This is what you learned in Dé Country. I hope you can bring out a powerful artillery unit for our 1st Independent Brigade!”
"Yes, sir! Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely bring out a powerful artillery unit!”
"En! Other than Ma Chenglong, the rest of you can go back!”
Zhou Weiguo looked at the others and waved his hand.
"Yes, sir!"
After everyone else left, leaving Ma Chenglong, Zhou Weiguo, and He Yuchen in the command center, Zhou Weiguo looked away.
"Ma Chenglong, do you know why I want you to stay?”
Zhou Weiguo sat down and gestured for him to sit down as well.
"Please instruct me, sir!"
"Sigh! Sit down, sit down! Why are you standing there? Relax!"
Zhou Weiguo smiled and waved his hand. Only then did Ma Chenglong sit down.
"Right now, our 1st independent regiment's position can be said to be good, but it can also be said to be bad! Our current situation is also very complicated. In the entire area north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huai River, from Nanking to Huainan, we are the only one stationed here. The rest of the place was filled with Japanese. It could be said that the Japanese had surrounded us.
However, our geographical location in Huainan is very advantageous. The Japanese can only attack us from the front. It could be said that this was a terrain where one man could hold off ten thousand men!
However, we need intelligence. We need a unit to operate behind the enemy lines and gather the scattered soldiers for us. There were still tens of thousands of soldiers in the area from Nanjing to Huainan. At present, some of these defeated soldiers had settled down in a place to find a job, some were hiding from the Japanese, some had become the king of the mountain, and some had been killed by the Japanese.
Now I want to form a capable force, a special force, to enter the enemy's rear to carry out these tasks.
I heard that you are from the northeast, your parents are university professors, and you are proficient in Japanese. In addition, you've received special training and have excellent military skills. Moreover, you're arrogant and unruly, so I thought of you.”
As Zhou Weiguo spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes and gave one each to He Yuchen and Ma Chenglong.
"Sir! Are you asking me to form this special force?”
Ma Chenglong asked with uncertainty. Although Ma Chenglong was also born into a scholarly family and was also a knowledgeable person, he was still a scholar. However, he was not clear about the special forces, because the concept of special forces was also proposed by the German army in recent years. In the entire world, not many people knew about this thing.
"Not bad! However, before you are formed, I will personally draw up a training plan for you to meet my standards!”
Zhou Weiguo said with a smile as he smoked. Ma Chenglong's military skills were excellent, but he had yet to meet the requirements of Zhou Weiguo's special forces. Therefore, he still needed Ma Chenglong to undergo a period of training.
"What? Then how long will it take?"
Ma Chenglong tilted his head and asked.
"At least three months, at most half a year!”
After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then said,"How about this? I'll write a document for you later. During this period of time, go down and select soldiers. As long as you pick them, let me know. I'll order them to form a special force for you!”
"Yes, sir!"
"En! Alright, you can leave now! I'll get someone to send it to you after I finish writing it!”
"Yes, sir!"
.........
He Yuchen walked over after Ma Chenglong left.
"Traveler, why did you recruit 3,000 soldiers? Doesn't our Heavy Artillery Regiment already have more than 2000 people?”
"This is just a heavy artillery regiment. And we only have one heavy artillery regiment. But we have ten infantry regiments now. A heavy artillery regiment was definitely not enough. We need at least two heavy artillery regiments.”
Zhou Weiguo knew very well that he now had ten infantry regiments under him. In addition to the heavy artillery regiment, the brigade headquarters, and those injured troops who had not returned to the army, there were already more than 40,000 people. This number was almost equivalent to two armies of others.
How could a heavy artillery regiment be enough?
"Traveler, we can ask the Generalissimo! Why do we have to confess ourselves like this?"
"Ask the chairman? Are you sure the chairman won't eat me? Just now, Minister He sent me a private telegram. He said that the Generalissimo was very distressed that we kept asking him for officers. If I ask for artillery now, the chairman will probably want to kill me!”
Zhou Weiguo threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said.
He Yuchen smiled helplessly. He was probably the only person in the country who wanted an officer like Zhou Weiguo. In the past half a month, he had already hired quite a number of officers. Moreover, the first thing he said was that he wanted to graduate from the Central Military Academy as a basic officer.
"Right! Which division is the Japanese from? Have you checked it out?"
Zhou Weiguo felt a little unhappy when he said this. Two days ago, the Japanese had forcefully replaced the 9th division with a single division. At that time, if Zhou Weiguo's troops had not been replenished completely and the various troops were in the midst of repairing themselves, Zhou Weiguo would have fought his way up. It was like Zhou Weiguo was preparing a prop and was about to cut a piece of meat to eat. In the end, someone forcefully changed the meat for him. How could he feel good?
"We've already investigated clearly. The enemy opposite us in Changfeng County is the Japanese's 101st Regiment!”
"101 Regiment? A special division of the Japanese? Humph! Later, tell Chu Yunfei and the others to speed up the running-in. Also, send an order to Fang Shengli and the others to get the new soldiers to work with the old troops as soon as possible. The Japanese sent a special division to my doorstep. If I don't eat him, I'll let the Japanese think that I'm a pushover!”
Zhou Weiguo snorted coldly. He now had ten infantry regiments and a heavy artillery regiment. The Japanese's special division was nothing to him!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:042020185:17PM
