"Old Xu, what does Wang Feng think?”
Hearing Wang Feng's intention to expand the county unit, the division commander immediately put down the document regarding the rapid reaction force and asked in a deep and serious voice.
This was not a small matter. Wang Feng's county brigade was almost equivalent to a small regiment. In the eyes of the commander, Wang Feng's county brigade was at most 1500 people, which was the maximum number of ordinary regiments.
However, just now, Deputy Division Commander Xu said that the county brigade had the intention to carry out the third round of expansion, and he didn't want the division headquarters to target those officers. Clearly, the third round of expansion could use almost two regiments of officers.
At that time, how many people were there in the county brigade? More than three thousand people? Was he aiming for an A seed group? Or did they go together?
Compared to other warlords, the number of troops was very fishy. Many people had hidden things.
However, in the Eighth Route Army, this kind of thing had always been a red line, a red line that no one could touch.
This was also the reason why when the teacher heard this, his expression became serious.
On the one hand, he didn't want Wang Feng, the little guy he thought highly of, to violate the army's discipline because of these things, which would affect his growth and future.
In the eyes of the division commander, he was already prepared to groom Wang Feng as a battle general.
The other was to question Deputy Master Xu. As an elder, why didn't you fulfill your duties and responsibilities as an elder?
The other division commanders had the same thoughts as their masters. After meeting Wang Feng once, they liked Wang Feng very much. They naturally did not want Wang Feng to be affected by these small things that could have been avoided.
"Listen to me first!"
Deputy Division Commander Xu naturally understood the meaning behind his words. He smiled and waved his hand."Wang Feng is very ambitious, but his appetite is not that big.”
"He didn't set the county unit for a 3,000-man A seed regiment, but for a 2,000-man regiment.”
When Vice Division Commander Xu said this, all the commanders heaved a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that the commanders disliked the number of soldiers under Wang Feng. The more soldiers Wang Feng had, the happier they were.
However, there was a prerequisite for all of this, and that was the approval of the division headquarters. Although the county brigade did not have any restrictions on the size of the troops, by default, the maximum number of people in the county brigade was at the battalion level. Wang Feng's county brigade was an exception.
Next, Deputy Division Commander Xu explained Wang Feng's thoughts and concluded with Wang Feng's words.
"What Wang Feng means is that this unit of his has the ability to change the situation. The main manifestation is that it's very easy to wipe out a large group of Japanese soldiers.”
Following Deputy Commander Xu's explanation, all the commanders had the same expression as Deputy Commander Xu.
As for the teacher sitting at the head of the table, he could not help but pick up the materials that had just been placed down and flip through them again. His eyes under his glasses were filled with wisdom.
An hour later, the commanders of the division headquarters finished reading Wang Feng's proposal for the rapid reaction force. To be honest, they were all tempted.
"To be honest, I'm a little tempted!”One of the commanders said his thoughts out loud.
"If we really control such a force, it will definitely be something that we will be happy to see and have a far-reaching impact.”
"If we were to encounter the same situation as last time, with such a rapid reaction force in our hands, the Japanese's Sakata United Team won't be able to escape. I will definitely wipe them out at the main position of the Gray Cloud Ridge.”
As soon as the division chief said that, the others did not hide anything and began to say,"Yes, the defense of the division headquarters is enough with the surrounding troops and the guard company. This unit is used as a quasi-strategic reserve force.”
"It's fine if you don't make a move, but once you make a move, it's a fatal ultimate move.”
As he listened to the leaders of the division headquarters speak one after another, the corners of Deputy Division Commander Xu's mouth curled up into a smile. He had expected this situation from the start. This was also the reason why he asked Wang Feng to write a report on the materials alone.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that everyone was more or less done, Deputy Division Leader Xu said,"Wang Feng's idea isn't bad. However, for our division headquarters, this 2,000-man rapid reaction force is still lacking.”
As soon as Vice Division Commander Xu said this, the division commander sitting at the head nodded and said,"Because the rapid reaction force is used in large scale battles, the number of people on both sides add up to hundreds of thousands.”
"A 2,000-man regiment is not enough to shoulder this heavy responsibility. I will temporarily call this rapid reaction force the rapid reaction brigade. It would at least be an A-grade regiment, or even a B-grade regiment of five to six thousand people. Only then would it be able to have a decisive effect.”
"Strengthened A Seed Group? B regiment?"
The moment the division commander said this, everyone was shocked. One of the officers said,"Isn't this helping the county brigade by pulling up seedlings!”
"The county brigade only has a little over 1,000 people now. Even in two months, it will only be 2,000 people. If we increase it to 5,000 people, can we still guarantee their combat strength?”
For a moment, all the commanders were discussing this topic.
At this moment, no one questioned whether Wang Feng could control it or whether he was qualified to lead such an army.
Of course, this discussion wasn't about Wang Feng's strength being acknowledged by everyone. It was just that they had never thought about Wang Feng.
This didn't seem very proper. After all, it was Wang Feng who had suggested it. In the end, Wang Feng had nothing to do with it. However, the first thing the teachers considered was ability.
Wang Feng had yet to prove his commanding ability. If he could show his ability in this aspect, he might be able to fight for the position of brigade commander of the rapid reaction brigade.
"This isn't a big problem. When the time comes, we can ask the entire military region to provide some veterans for each unit. This unit needs immediate combat strength and has a great demand for veterans. We can gather the strength of the entire military region to build such a unit.”Hearing everyone's words, the teacher explained.
"However, regarding the person in charge of this rapid emergency response force, we will have to carefully examine it next. We can include Wang Feng in the candidate list.”As for Wang Feng, the teacher was still very optimistic about him. Thus, he was the first to put Wang Feng on the list of candidates.
"I agree!" Deputy Division Commander Xu also voiced his support after hearing his division commander's words.
"I agree too!" Chief Zhang was the same.
"I agree too!" The Chief of Staff quickly echoed.
The other division commanders thought for a moment before slowly nodding in agreement.
As for Wang Feng's question, they only thought that their teacher didn't want to disappoint Wang Feng and didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so they agreed.
However, Chief Zhang, Deputy Division Commander Xu, and the Chief of Staff knew the division commander the best. Actually, the teacher was already leaning towards Wang Feng.
The personality of a teacher was that if he could do it, he could do it. If he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it. There was no such thing as an inspection. If Wang Feng didn't get the approval of the teacher, even if Wang Feng proposed this plan, the teacher wouldn't be on the list.
After the meeting ended, the Chief of Staff sent a telegram to the county brigade, informing Wang Feng about the division headquarters 'discussion and decision on the rapid response force.
He couldn't tell them the details, but the chief of staff told them the results of the meeting truthfully. He only added one sentence at the end,""The division commander has put you on the list of candidates.”As for whether Wang Feng could comprehend it, that would depend on Wang Feng himself.
After all, the opportunity had been given. Whether or not he could seize it was Wang Feng's own business.
