Chapter 509 'The Recruit Danzi' Company Commander's Problem

The original Four Lines Battalion has 73 combat personnel, the original garrison battalion has 538 combat personnel, and the original security regiment has 507 combat personnel, including the combat personnel of the three units who are still treating their wounds in the field hospital and actively requesting to return to the team. About 50 people.

Tangdao organized 8 companies for the entire independent battalion, with a total force of 1200, and there was still a shortage of more than [-] people.

These vacancies are actually reserved for the seriously injured who are still lying on the hospital bed.

After the continuous battle, whether it is the Four Elements Battalion, the Police Battalion or the Security Regiment, there are many seriously wounded people who are being treated. Of course, those with disabilities have no choice but to retire after recovering from their injuries. But if those wounded who can recover know The old army is gone, and the newly established independent battalion has no place for it. What kind of desolation should that be?
Therefore, except for Gu Xishui's special operations team which was fully staffed, the rest of the infantry company, artillery company, logistics company, and special agent company all had a shortfall of nearly ten people.

No chief officer came to Tang Dao to complain that there were few people, not only because they realized Tang Dao's painstaking efforts, but in fact, they were all too busy to touch the ground.

Especially for the four infantry companies, the personnel changed greatly.

Take Qian Dazhu's third company as an example. He used to be the second platoon leader of the second company of the garrison battalion. With the support of the new company commander, there were only less than 30 people, and there were nearly 110 people left. There were more than 60 recruits from the security regiment, plus more than 40 veterans from the Four Lines Battalion and the Guard Battalion.

There were more than 70 veterans of the original regular army. The security regiment soldiers were said to be recruits, but they had actually experienced several battles and were better than many veterans of the army. There was absolutely no problem in terms of combat effectiveness.

But he, the new company commander, has a headache about the arrangement of personnel.

Tang Dao only announced the appointment of the company deputy and the three infantry platoon leaders, while Lei Xiong was even simpler.

All of these have to be arranged by him, the infantry company commander.

Want to simply rely on military rank to arrange?

That's really thinking too much.

Not to mention that the Sixing Battalion has come down from a bloody battle in Songhu to the present, the smallest privates are all sergeant ranks now, and some outstanding ones are now second lieutenants, just like Gu Xishui, Erya and Yang Xiaoshan, just say The [-]-odd veterans in the garrison battalion are also a bunch of sergeants.

Sergeants represent their bravery and their military exploits. If such elites are placed in ordinary troops, the chief officer will only be extremely happy.

But there are too many elites, and the chief officer is distressed after being happy. He has to find more elites from these elites to serve as squad leader, squad deputy, and elite shooter.

The elite shooter is Tang Dao's requirement for each infantry squad to exist. At least one, if there are particularly outstanding ones, two people can be set up.

9 infantry squads means that he has to pick 100 people from the more than 27 people under his command to fill their positions.

Compared with these 9 infantry squads, the small artillery squad with two mortars and the heavy machine gun squad with one heavy machine gun are relatively simple. Those two kinds of things are very professional, Lei Xiong assigned This was also taken into consideration at the time, the main gunners and heavy machine gun shooters were specially drawn veterans from Pang Haihai's artillery company and Cheng Tieshou's fire support company.

The squad leader and squad deputy were undoubtedly born from these few veterans. Naturally, most of the squad members were soldiers from the security regiment. Qian Dazhu was not so stupid as to arrange those veterans who had fought many battles to stay in the fire support unit.

However, the recruits who have grown up in the flames of war also know at this time that this is also the first threshold set by Tang Dao for their new chief officers. If they can't handle this well, let alone command battles in the future.

Of course, Qian Dazhu can choose the simplest and most feasible method, reuse the original subordinates he is familiar with, and promote some soldiers who are brave in combat and have commanding ability to be squad leaders, but that will inevitably cause the new soldiers to join the squad. dissatisfied.

The soldiers in the security regiment were okay to say, after all, they used to be in the militia, and they knew how much they had, so if they wanted to complain, they could only mumble in private.

But what about the veterans of the Four Elements Battalion?

They can be regarded as the most direct troops of Battalion Commander Tang Dao Tang, and they have fought against the most ferocious Japanese army for the rest of their lives, and later participated in the bloody battle to defend Baihe Port and annihilate the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade just like them.

Regardless of qualifications or combat effectiveness, they are all outstanding.

If you want to be simple, you have to take risks. If you want to balance and try to be as reasonable as possible, you have to find the most reasonable solution.

Being a company commander now is far different from thinking about being a platoon leader at that time.

This is the so-called head determines the position under the buttocks, and the position under the buttocks determines the vision and pattern of people.

At this point, Qian Dazhu improved as fast as his various tactical skills on the battlefield.

But Tang Dao had no way of knowing. Tang Dao didn't have time to observe the range of abilities of each of his subordinates. He could only see Qian Dazhu's command ability and the potential of this recruit who had chatted with him through the battlefield.

Therefore, taking advantage of the gap between the battles, he gave such a question to the new company commanders under his command, which was a test question on management and coordination ability other than command ability.

Such questions are not difficult for veteran grassroots commanders like Leng Feng, Cheng Tieshou, and Pang Pang Hai.

They already had a 'bad reputation', such as Leng Feng, the news that the independent battalion was about to be established yesterday just blew out, and almost everyone agreed that he must become the commander of the main infantry company of the independent battalion.

It's not just that Major Leng Feng Leng is Tang Dao's direct subordinate, but that he fought bayonets in the Four Elements War and killed three Japanese invaders with his own hands, which is by no means inferior to the reputation of Tang Dabattalion Commander. The veterans of the Four Elements Battalion agreed that, If there are three giants in the Four Elements Battalion, Major Leng Feng Leng, who was cruel to the Japanese invaders after losing his younger brother, is definitely the third giant. For this point, Captain Cheng Tieshou, who ambushed the Japanese fighter formation in Baihe Port, can't achieve it. .

Let's talk about Cheng Tieshou, not to mention that he was the first to follow Tang Dao and Lei Xiong, but to say that he personally controlled the machine gun and shot against the Japanese planes in two consecutive low-altitude duels and destroyed two Japanese planes. May I ask which one is available in the independent camp?

It was a perfect combination of bravery and skill, but all machine gun shooters, including Heizi who was transferred to the special forces by Tang Dao, were unconvinced.

There is also Pang Dahai, not to mention that this is a veteran who has been immersed in the artillery industry for ten years, as long as he is an artilleryman with one hand, no one will be dissatisfied.And this man was fighting against the 36th Infantry Brigade. Because of the Japanese attack on the flank, he led a group of artillerymen to participate in the cruel hand-to-hand combat. thumb.

This old cannon from Shandong defeated several Japanese soldiers by himself with the cannon barrel.

Thinking of this guy carrying a gun barrel weighing more than [-] kilograms as a sledgehammer, the big guy couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. If they met, they would probably be so smashed that they didn't know each other.

As for Peng Chong and Li Jiujin, although they are not as famous as the above three, veteran guard company commanders and veterans who have been in the army for more than ten years are well versed in the rules of the army, so they have their own. s method.

Needless to say about the supply chain, the two commanders of the security regiment may not be able to deter the veterans of the Four Elements Battalion and the Guard Battalion, but 90.00% of their subordinates are soldiers from the original security regiment. The logistics manager Zhuang Shisan specially arranged seven or eight veterans who were wounded in arms or legs in the battle to serve as squad platoon leaders. The original squad platoon leaders basically served as squad platoon assistants. The table was set up.

After all the calculations, it turned out that Qian Dazhu and Zhao Daqiang, the two 'newcomers' who were directly promoted from platoon leader to company commander, were slightly inferior in terms of prestige and ability.

And Zhao Daqiang is still being treated in the field hospital, and he will be released by the hospital at night at the earliest. Therefore, Lei Xiong, the deputy battalion commander in charge of the infantry company, can only help him organize the company himself. Leng Feng, who would not accept him?
This is called 'a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise'!Zhao Daqiang, who lost a piece of flesh on his buttocks and was about to shed tears, escaped a catastrophe.

Only Qian Dazhu, the "unlucky boy", was left.

Including Tang Dao, everyone was watching how the new recruit Danzi company commander built his own infantry company.
