Chapter 445: A powerful and honorable division
In fact, they don’t know much about the Honorary First Division, including the old regiment commander. Due to the efficiency of message transmission, they can already understand the first battle report information.
However, some places that are seen from the war report are very vague, and some places are even deliberately not written. The real situation is only true only if you hear and see it with your own eyes.
If words can explain everything clearly, why is there a saying of "talking about it on paper"?
The three of them only knew that the Honorary First Division had 10,000 or 20,000 people, and the scale was about the same as some miscellaneous troops. They still had many things they didn't understand about their achievements on the southern line of the Jinpu Road.
"Three commanders, let me first talk about the establishment of our Honorary First Division, so that the three commanders can have an intuitive understanding." Guo Weiquan sorted out his thoughts and spoke.
"The Honorary First Division has three main brigades, each brigade has about 8,000 people in total. Each brigade has three infantry regiments and a supplementary regiment, and the troops directly under the brigade headquarters..."
"Wait a minute, are each brigade equipped with artillery battalions? Can I ask what artillery battalions are equipped with?" Zhang Zhongling asked after interrupting Guo Weiquan.
"Mountain cannons or 92 infantry cannons, each artillery battalion is equipped with twelve gates." Guo Weiquan said.
"Three brigades are thirty-six. Where did you get so many artillery?"
"Seither seized from the Japanese."
A trace of shock flashed in Zhang Zhongling's eyes. The amount of artillery was not as good as the 51st Division where he was located. The 1st Division of Honor was not as rich as that of the wealthy division.
I heard that they had a heavy artillery regiment, which must be a direct unit of the division headquarters, with twenty-four heavy artillery pieces. Even Tang Enbo's 20th Legion did not have it.
Guo Weiquan has not said that in addition to the heavy artillery regiment directly under the division headquarters, the Honorary Division also has a mountain artillery regiment equipped with thirty-six mountain artillery.
In terms of heavy firepower, the Honorary First Division is actually no longer inferior to the main division of the Japanese army. This is the wealth that Leng Feng finally accumulated.
I also have to thank the 16th Division for its contributions, and of course I also copied the weapons and ammunition warehouse in Nanjing, otherwise he would not be able to get all these guys together.
Without these, how could he quickly open up the situation on the southern line of Jinpu Road and even eat up an elite Japanese regiment?
It can be said that the current record of the Honorary First Division is built on the bones of the Japanese army.
"What Wei Quan wants to talk about is the combat direction and ability of the three brigades. Old regiment commander, Brother Zhang, Brother Yan Gong, you have to listen carefully." Leng Feng reminded kindly.
The three infantry brigades set by Leng Feng are not simply infantry brigades. The combat direction of the three brigades is focused, and each person's abilities are also focused.
The subdivision of combat functions of troops is a major trend in later generations. No unit is omnipotent. Except for special forces, ordinary troops always have emphasis. For example, some troops are very suitable for jungle combat, some are very good at landing combat, and some like to fight in the desert.
Each unit may be similar in routine operations, but it is necessary to consider the preference for your terrain and climate. If you pull a unit suitable for combat in the cold polar regions into the tropical rainforest, it will definitely not work. Combat reductions will cause your unit to lose morale directly.
For example, some troops are suitable for mobile warfare, some are suitable for tough battles, etc. The focus is different, and the generals are the same. This is also the reason why Leng Feng reminded the three people. If the troops are in line with their attributes, go to that unit.
Otherwise, it would be over and not matched with their own troops' fighting style, so they would feel uncomfortable when commanding themselves.
"The 40th Brigade, the commander of the brigade Wu Xinhua, was established based on the Sichuan Army. He is good at raiding and mountain combat. The soldiers asked everyone to have a pair of iron feet. One night, the raiding of hundreds of miles suddenly started a battle, and the battles were won, and the battles were captured by the 340th Brigade."
All three of them recorded it, and the New 40th Brigade was obviously suitable for sports and was good at running raids.
"The brigade commander of the 39th Brigade, Ju Youlin, is the honorary deputy commander of the First Division. This brigade has balanced capabilities, good attack and defense, and is suitable for frontal offensive and defensive battles. Most of the troops are integrated by the officers and soldiers of the original **** main force."
"The new 37th Brigade is the strongest offensive force of the First Division. The troops were originally composed of officers and soldiers trapped in Nanjing by the Teaching Corps, and some were soldiers of the German Division. They were characterized by strong resilience and good at fighting and fighting blocking wars. Taipingji blocked the Japanese Iizuka Detachment for five days and four nights. In the end, only 800 people were left in the entire regiment, with more than 90% injured. The regiment commander Cheng Gang was originally from the Second Regiment of the Teaching Corps and an old subordinate of the division."
The three troops were all very powerful, which made the three of them fall into deep thought. They considered which troops they were suitable for and which troops they should go to.
"Brother Yangong, which army do you choose?"
"Me, this is very difficult. The three troops are all excellent. I want to go, but I can only choose one. It's too difficult." Dai Xu said with a slight look on his face.
If this is given an order, it will be easier. Now let them choose by themselves, and it is really difficult to choose in a hurry.
Leng Feng had no choice. If he had time, he would let the three people get familiar with the honorary first division and then assign their positions. However, the war was in a tight position and he had to be determined immediately.
The position they choose will be more motivated, allowing them to become familiar with and integrate into the army more quickly.
"I will choose the 40th Brigade, and mountain combat is suitable for my appetite." Dai Xu finally chose the new 40th Brigade.
"Brother Zhang, where are you?"
"I'll go to the 39th Brigade." Zhang Zhongling thought about it and selected the 39th Brigade. At least it was reorganized from the Central Army's direct line. The quality of the soldiers would not be bad. Moreover, the brigade commander Ju Youlin was also a deputy division commander, so he would have many opportunities to lead troops alone.
Only a new 37th Brigade is left. Brigade Commander Liao Sen and Huangpu Phase 6 also have experience in marching to France. Xie had to go earlier than Liao and had studied at the Fontainebleau Artillery School.
Xie Chengrui happily chose to go to the New 37th Brigade. He and Liao Sen have been in France. They must have a common language and at least they can quickly open up their relationship.
"Three of you have a rest first, there will be a welcome banquet in the evening. I will send you to the army tomorrow." Leng Feng said.
"Yes, the teacher!"
"Wei Quan. Arrange it."
Leng Feng still had people to meet, and among the other officers who came in the same car, there were also many talents that Leng Feng was concerned about. Of course, there were people from the Central Commission for Administration and the Military Control Commission mixed in.
"Mr. Leng, I'm Xu Zhongyi."
Leng Feng looked at the lieutenant colonel in front of him indifferently. He looked less than forty years old and looked harmless, but such a person was the most terrifying.
This is a nail placed beside him. Leng Feng knew that if he got one away, he would have another one. Instead of constantly replacing people, it would be better to use one.
"I have read your resume. I used to work in the Party Affairs Investigation Department. I was a lieutenant colonel. I was not at a low level. Why did I remember to be honored by the First Division?"
"Since he heard about the deeds of Master Zhong in Nanjing, Beizhi, I admire him very much. This time I heard that the superiors were going to send a staff to work at Master Zhong, so I recommended himself. Unexpectedly, the superiors approved it, so Beizhi came."
"You are quite good at talking, OK, I know, if I ask any more, you have nothing to tell me." Leng Feng smiled faintly, "Since you are here, stay."
"Which department should I report to?"
"How is the Intelligence Service?"
"A person who is a low-ranking party is not aware of information." Xu Zhongyi was stunned and a little confused.
"Can't you learn? No one is born to be able to do intelligence, what do you think?" Leng Feng said, "The Intelligence Department lacks a deputy director, you go."
"Master, this is not great, right? It's better for me to go to the Political Department?" Xu Zhongyi's face looked a little ugly. Isn't there any secrets to work under Wu Xiaoyun?
"Isn't your Party Affairs Investigation Department doing this?"
"Master, can you change the position of Bei Zhi? This deputy director of the Intelligence Department really can't do it." Xu Zhongyi said.
"That's the case, why don't you go to the Military Control Commission and fight Lao Zhang?" Leng Feng said.
"The Military Control Department is good, and the Military Control Department is good, I will go to the Military Control Department!" Xu Zhongyi was afraid that Leng Feng would regret it, so he quickly agreed. The newcomer always had to be a human being with his tail first. This strong dragon would not defeat the local snake. Besides, the Military Control Department is a fat man, with a little bit of oil on the upper and lower sides. That little life is very comfortable, and there is no need to fight. Life is important.
"I have thought about it. If I come to my position, I will not be transferred for less than half a year."
"After thinking about it, go to the Military Control Commission!"
"Come here, take this Lieutenant Colonel Xu Zhongyi to the Military Control Office to complete the induction procedures!" Leng Feng called a young staff officer and ordered.
"Yes, teacher!"
Looking at Xu Zhongyi's departure back, Leng Feng shook his head and smiled. The director of the Military Control Department was Zhang Fengxiang. It turned out that he was from the Military Control Commission, and Xu Zhongyi was a member of the Central Commission for Discipline. How could Zhang Fengxiang not understand his intentions?
Although Lao Zhang has no great ability, it is still fine if he can watch someone. It is basically impossible for Xu Zhongyi to find any waves in the Honor Division.
"You are Ding Mengyu?"
"yes."
"This time I was shocked. Are you willing to work in the Honorary First Division?" Leng Feng was a little surprised. Such a weak girl actually came from the Military Control Commission. The military commander recruited people would be too eye-catching. If this were not Wu Xiaoyun's old subordinates, such people would not be suitable for staying in the army.
"willing."
"Okay, go to the intelligence office to find Wu Xiaoyun to report." Leng Feng stamped the outline of the Honorary First Division on Ding Mengyu's resume.
This time Leng Feng also specially asked four military doctors and professional medical staff. There were too few doctors in field hospitals, especially surgical doctors. When he was busy, Tang Jing could not do so many surgeries alone. Some seriously injured died unfortunately while waiting for the operation.
Therefore, Leng Feng made up his mind to equip the doctors in the field hospital. In addition to plundering the civilian doctors, he also applied for personnel from Wuhan.
There are also technical officers, such as those who understand armored vehicle technology, especially Japanese tanks, artillery officers, etc.
At the same time, it was really a surprise to vigorously explore talents within the Honorary First Division, which allowed him to find a lot of talents, enrich various troops, and optimize his combat effectiveness.
The most direct one was the **** soldiers rescued from the prisoners. Except for those who had not recovered from their injuries, the remaining 80% of them finally chose to join the Honorary Division, which also solved the big gap in the shortage of grassroots officers in the Honorary Division.
Chapter completed!
