Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 134 Chapter 133, Confirmation of the Establishment (Part )

李月轩穿越过来的日子是38年的10月13，今天是39年1月1日，满打满算，都不足3个月的时间。

But in just over two months, he has become the fourth-rank commander of the guerrillas, and also served as the platoon leader of the supplementary platoon and the leader of the comprehensive squad. Although Li Yuexuan believes that the platoon leader of the supplementary platoon should not have many opportunities to lead troops in a charge, the position is real, and he can also participate in the team meetings and put forward his own opinions on the development of the guerrillas.

Of course, the guerrillas have grown from the original 16 people to the current full strength of 150 people. They are also responsible for the construction of militia teams in more than a dozen surrounding villages. They are now very different from what they used to be.

In the east wing of the Liang family compound, a lantern emitted a dim light. Zhao Danian calmly opened the glass cover of the lantern, then took out a pipe, placed the pipe bowl filled with tobacco on the lamp and lit it, then took a deep breath.

"Huh..." Thick smoke gushed out of his mouth, and the room was immediately filled with the spicy and pungent smell of dry tobacco, which made Li Yuexuan frown. He wanted to remind him that smoking is harmful to health, but thinking that it was a wartime era and he might face a battle at any time and die at any moment, he resisted the urge to speak.

However, he still got up and opened the window to let the cold winter wind blow in and bring in some fresh air.

"Old Zhao, have you finished smoking the cigarettes seized from the Japanese?" Zhu Xingyu said teasingly as he watched Zhao Danian puffing away.

"Now that we've finished smoking, it's time for this old guy to go on stage!" Zhao Danian exhaled smoke and continued, "Now, our guerrillas are just like that hibernating toad. We stay here, hiding, and expending the strength we have accumulated over the year, waiting for the beginning of next spring to catch bugs to eat!"

"Huh? It was just a ship, but in the blink of an eye it has become a nest of toads? Haha, you toad head, isn't it time for you to organize a team for this nest of toads?" Zhu Xingyu laughed.

"Well... this is what I think!" Zhao Danian put his pipe aside, then took out his notebook and said, "Now our organized troops are the vanguard squad, three infantry squads, the cooking squad, the general squad, and the transportation squad. My opinion is that the squad leaders of the three infantry squads should remain unchanged, and only some of the backbones should be transferred out to form three squads 3, 3, and 4 with the new recruits, and then form two platoons."

"In this case, we need to first determine the organization of two platoon leaders! Then, we also need to determine a heavy machine gun squad. Although the heavy machine gun squad only has one heavy machine gun, they can be equipped with an infantry squad and exist as a platoon-level unit, so there must be a third platoon."

"Don't underestimate this 3rd platoon. Any heavy machine guns captured in the future will be placed in this platoon. This is the machine gun platoon of our guerrillas. Then, let's discuss the selection of the three platoon leaders. First, let's discuss the selection of the 3st platoon leader. Do you have any opinion, Old Zhu? Among these four comrades, Zheng Changfeng, Lu Xiaoran, Chen Changsheng, and Guo Liandong, who is suitable?" Zhao Danian asked.

"The 1st Platoon Leader is the infantry platoon leader and also the platoon with the most veterans in our guerrillas, so I think Comrade Chen Changsheng is suitable to be the platoon leader! These four comrades are all veterans of the Red Army and have also walked the Long March. Comrade Chen Changsheng was originally a squad leader in the 4nd Regiment. He has rich combat experience and is suitable to lead the 772st Platoon!" said Zhu Xingyu.

"Then it is confirmed that Comrade Chen Changsheng will be the first platoon leader of the Beishan Guerrilla Team!" Zhao Danian saw that Li Yuexuan and Xing Weiguo had no objection, so he wrote it down in his notebook. "Then what about the candidate for the second platoon leader? Old Zhu, you should make the arrangement. You are most familiar with these comrades!" Zhao Danian continued to look at Zhu Xingyu.

"My original plan was to let Lu Xiaoran be the platoon leader. He is more careful and has an excellent ability to control the overall situation on the battlefield! But don't we need a heavy machine gun platoon now? Someone like Lu Xiaoran who has the ability to control the overall situation is more suitable to be placed in the heavy machine gun platoon and be in charge of our heavy firepower! Therefore, Zheng Changfeng is suitable to be the second platoon leader, and Lu Xiaoran is the third platoon leader!" Zhu Xingyu said.

"Then..." Seeing Li Yuexuan and Xing Weiguo nod, Zhao Danian wrote down the handwriting of 2nd Platoon Leader Zheng Changfeng and 3rd (Heavy Machine Gun) Platoon Leader Lu Xiaoran in the notebook.

"Okay, the candidates for the four platoon leaders have been decided...and Comrade Guo Liandong, how about letting him be the deputy platoon leader for Comrade Youxuan? Comrade Youxuan has a lot of things to do, and Guo Liandong can help with some specific work." Zhao Danian looked up and asked.

"I have no objection!" Li Yuexuan spoke first. He wished he could ignore everything and wait to go to the battlefield to kill the devils. When he had nothing to do, he would tinker with the materials. Of course, he would be happy to have someone to work for him. What? Rights issue? Isn't that narrow-minded? If you take up this burden at this time, you must take responsibility! On the battlefield, a commander's words or an order may cost the lives of his comrades!
Therefore, Li Yuexuan was very happy to have a veteran with rich combat experience to work with him!
"Since you have no objection, let the old comrades help the new comrades. Guo Liandong is the platoon leader of our 4th Platoon, which is the supplementary platoon." Zhao Danian wrote down his name and position in the notebook.

"Okay, let me read it to you now! The platoon leader is Comrade Chen Changsheng, the squad leader is Hu Yanlong, the squad leader is Hu Yanbao, and the squad leader is Chen Bingliang."

"Next, the second platoon leader is Zheng Changfeng. As for the three squad leaders, I plan to transfer the deputy squad leaders of the vanguard squad and the 3nd and 2rd squads to the second platoon as squad leaders. The specific arrangements are 3th squad leader Bai Dabao, 4th squad leader Tian E, and 5th squad leader Zou Ming. These three comrades have fought in fierce battles and performed well. They are qualified for the position of squad leader. What do you think?"

"We have no objection!" Everyone nodded in unison, expressing their full agreement. After all, they had fought together and understood them.

"Okay, I'll write it down!" Zhao Danian finished writing, then he spoke, "During the past few days of recruit training, Luo Wei and Lai Fu have been leading the training of the Min-24 heavy machine gun. They have become proficient in operating the heavy machine gun. So, who should take on the position of heavy machine gun squad leader next?"

"Captain Luo, are you no longer in charge of the kitchen team?" Li Yuexuan asked.

"Lowei still likes fighting, and after this adjustment, the kitchen squad has no light machine guns to use. That's why Lowei took the initiative to undertake the heavy machine gun training!" Zhao Danian explained.

"Let Luo Wei be the squad leader! Comrade Lai Fu be the deputy squad leader. When more heavy machine guns are captured, let Comrade Lai Fu lead his men to take over!" Xing Weiguo said.
