Bluestone Bridge, the reinforced regiment of the 8th Route Army, consisting of more than 3,000 people, was currently stationed here.
Two hours ago, they were still empty-handed, wearing all kinds of clothes, like beggars.
And now, everyone was wearing a set, with a spare set of cotton military uniforms, cotton shoes, and cotton hats made in Azure Dragon Town's clothing factory. The weapon in his hand was a newly manufactured Mauser rifle, equipped with 60 bullets and 4 grenades.
These were just ordinary soldiers. As long as they reached the rank of squad leader, each of them would have a brand new 9mm 20-shot shell gun.
General-purpose machine guns were equipped in shifts, mortars were deployed in platoons, and there were more than ten military trucks, each pulling a 75mm mountain cannon.
"Old Kong, what is the family background of the commander of this independent division? Could he be a f * cking relative of the royal family?”
Li Yunlong was wearing a new military uniform and playing with a brand-new M3 submachine gun in his hand, like a child who had just received a new toy.
"Old Li, pay attention to your manners. This is an independent division. If the people who send supplies and weapons hear you scolding the commander's mother, won't they shoot you?”
Kong Jie rolled his eyes at Li Yun Long. This guy was always blabbering. If he continued, he would definitely get into trouble.
"That's right!"
Ding Wei also nodded and said,"Old Li, we're new here. Don't offend people easily. Otherwise, the boss will kill you when we get back."”
"Fine, my bad, my bad. I'm happy now.”
Although Li Yunlong was a thorn in his side, he was also reasonable. Otherwise, the boss would not have sent him here.
Shhh... A loud whistle sounded, and then a voice appeared in the wide field.
"Gather! All members of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, gather at the field in three minutes!”
"Old Li, let's go. The Independent Division is here.”
"Let's go. I also want to see what kind of immortal this is.”
The three old men in the room heard the commotion outside. They looked at each other and grabbed their guns as they rushed to the door.
"Reporting to the commander, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment has 3350 people. The actual number of people is 3350. Acting commander of the Independent Regiment, Ding Wei."
Ding Wei commanded all the soldiers to stand properly. After running a few steps, he saluted and reported to a middle-aged man with a golden star on his shoulder who was standing on a three-meter-high stone platform.
"Very good, please take a rest!"
The middle-aged soldier saluted.
"Yes, sir!"
Ding Wei put down his saluting hand and turned to look at the Eighth Route Army soldiers with their heads held high and chests puffed out." Everyone, at ease. Please speak, Chief!"”
Swoosh... After the three thousand people stood at attention, they looked at the stage.
Everyone, my name is Zhou Wen. I'm the commander of the Restoration Army's independent division. I'll be your commander in the future. Now, on behalf of our commander, I will explain your treatment and your future organization.
The ordinary soldiers of the independent division received two yuan a month. The squad leader received five yuan, the platoon leader received ten yuan, the company commander received twenty yuan, the battalion commander received forty yuan, and the regiment commander received eighty yuan.
In addition, after enlisting in the army, each person would receive a 15-dollar settlement allowance. If they were injured or killed, they would be compensated according to their level.
You have to remember all of this. You can register it with the quartermaster later. In the independent division, embezzling military pay is not allowed. Once discovered, regardless of the number, you will be shot immediately!”
"Now, let's talk about the organization. Your army will be organized into a regiment.
Three infantry battalions, each with 850 men. One artillery battalion was equipped with 12 75mm mountain cannons, 12 20mm anti-aircraft cannons, and 2 105mm howitzers. It had a full force of 550 people.
There were also 350 people who were organized into a 150-man guard company. They were divided into a communication platoon, a guard platoon, and a cavalry platoon. The rest of the people belonged to the logistics company, and they were equipped with mules, horses, motorcycles, and trucks.”?
"The commanding officer has ordered Ding Wei to be the Independent Regiment's commander and also the 1st Battalion Commander, 2nd Battalion Commander Li Yun Long, 3rd Battalion Commander Kong Jie. The rest of the members will be appointed by your commanding officer.”
"Now, are there any problems?"
Zhou Wen asked as he looked at everyone in the independent regiment below the stage.?
"Is there a problem?"
"I'll ask again. Is there a problem?”
"No? Very good!"
Zhou Wen nodded and continued," The independent regiment won't have any combat missions for the next month." Your mission is to train, train, train non-stop, and familiarize yourself with the performance of the weapons in your hands. You don't have to worry about the consumption of ammunition.
Tomorrow, the independent division will send instructors to teach you how to use weapons and equipment. The rest of the time will be handed over to your military officer.”
Zhou Wen didn't stop after saying that. He turned around and left the field with the security platoon.?He had just become a division commander, so he had many things to do. As for this independent regiment, to be honest, he did not take it to heart.
After all, this was a team that was fighting together outside. Instead of wasting his time here, he might as well think about how to improve the training of the 102nd Infantry Regiment, the 1st and 2nd Green Battalion.
Upon witnessing Zhou Wen's departure, Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, and Kong Jie exchanged looks. It was over? Why didn't they arrange for some people to join their team? Was this teacher swift and decisive, or was he stupid?
"Old Kong, Old Li, what do you think?”
Ding Wei smacked his lips and asked his two old comrades.
"What do you think? Just stand and watch!"
Li Yunlong shook his head and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the cannons behind the trucks.
He didn't believe Kong Jie when he heard him say that the Independent Division was rich, but now he completely believed it. A 75mm mountain cannon, a 20mm machine gun, and two 105mm howitzers. This firepower was something that even a Japanese regiment could not compare to.
"An infantry battalion with 850 people is equivalent to our entire regiment. I was wondering how the headquarters would reduce our size.”
Kong Jie took out a cigarette and lit it, sighing with envy.
"That's not all. I've seen it. Their establishment is similar to that of the Japanese.”
Ding Wei took out a piece of paper, on which was a detailed description of the firepower and personnel of each infantry battalion.
A platoon of four squads, plus a mortar team of 50 people, a company of more than 200 people, plus general machine guns and mortars, could easily defeat a battalion level unit of the Eighth Route Army or the Jinsui Army.
"Let's go, let's discuss the distribution of the companies. As expected of a division commander, he has left all these troublesome problems to us.”
"Let's go, time is a little tight!"
"You guys go first, I'll go take a look at the cannon.”
After saying that, the three old men divided their things.
