Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 338 Chapter 337, Distribution and Development Direction

"Now Captain Guo's company has the strength of a battalion, and Captain Guo has become Battalion Commander Guo. They rely on Jigongling, Weijia Village, and Yinjiulang Village, and now have incorporated Tianjiazhai into their base. Therefore, we can no longer move westward, and we can only distribute ourselves to the east." Zhu Xingyu said.

"To the east, and to the north, and we should also dispatch some troops to garrison in Baijing Town! As an important town connecting the Zhoujiacun stronghold with Jiuguan and Jingxing, Baijing Town is of great significance to us. It can provide support to our base and also contain the Japanese invaders coming out of the Zhoucun stronghold." Zhao Danian said.

"Well, what I mean is that we should quickly complete the organization of the first company, and then have it garrisoned in Baijing Town. The strength of the first company is here, and they don't need heavy machine guns, so their mobility is beyond doubt. Let the first company garrison in Baijing Town, and let the cavalry reconnaissance company patrol back and forth, and there will be no problem on our west side." Li Yuexuan suggested.

"Then transfer the first company over!" Zhao Danian looked at the cadres around him and made the decision. He then continued, "As for the training of new recruits and militiamen, we will select four suitable locations east of Liangjia Village as training bases and lead the surrounding militiamen to train together."

"No matter what, Liangjia Village must have a company of new recruits for training! And the venue here is ready-made, and the militiamen from the 15 surrounding villages can be gathered here for training. Not more, not less, it would be great to get 500 people together to train. Moreover, if we find that there are some militiamen with good training results and special skills, they can be recruited." Xing Weiguo said.

"If we go further east... there should be at least a company of new recruits for training in Qigeng Village, and even a platoon of regular troops should be deployed there. In case the Japanese want to bypass Qigeng Village and come here, we can use it as a blocking node. Then there is Huidong Village and Shaguodi Village, which are not bad either. The villages around them are dense, and they themselves have a large area." Xiao Fengyun said.

"That's settled then. Divide the 400 recruits into four training teams and then train them in these four villages. At the same time, the surrounding militia will be trained at the same time. The number of people in each training team will be controlled at 4 to 4, and then we will select the best and best soldiers into our team." Zhao Danian made the decision.

"In that case, let's do it! Who will be in charge of the overall plan? Who will be in charge of the management of each training team and the selection of instructors? Let's discuss this..."

The meeting was held very quickly because everyone felt that time was very tight. As a result of the discussion, Xing Weiguo was the chief instructor for this training, and Lu Xiaoran, Guo Liandong, and Chen Changsheng were each responsible for a training team, and they each selected some veterans from their own team to lead the training.

Why is there no company commander Zheng Changfeng? Because the person in charge of the Liangjia Village training team is Xing Weiguo himself. As the headquarters of the guerrillas, wouldn't it be easy to transfer some instructors? No one else is needed. The squad leader of Tianchuan has been renamed the special service squad. Can he be pulled out as an instructor?

In order to strengthen the defense of the area, the first company was given priority to replenish its troops, and some veterans were directly transferred from the second company and the heavy machine gun company to fill in, making up the establishment of 140 people. After replenishing the establishment, the first company of the game set out to Baijing Town on the second day, intending to stay in Baijing Town permanently.

The status and organization of the Youyi Company are special. After a series of adjustments, Zheng Changfeng is the company commander, Shu Youtuan is the instructor, and then there are 3 platoons, each with 3 infantry squads of 12 people. The infantry squad has a 2-man grenade launcher combat group, the main shooter is equipped with a box gun, and the deputy shooter is equipped with a semi-automatic; a 2-man Czech light machine gun group, and 8 ordinary infantry. Although they are ordinary infantry, each person has a semi-automatic, and the firepower output capacity in this era is quite considerable.

In addition to the 113-man establishment of the company commander, instructor and infantry squad, Zheng Changfeng also took away three medical staff from Master Chen, and formed a service squad directly under the company headquarters with five messengers. Some of the recruits from the previous batch were selected to fill in the cooking squad and transportation squad, making up the 3-man establishment.

In order to enhance mobility, the transport squad of the first company consisted of 10 people, and 10 mules were assigned as the transport team's power. In other words, the first company had to raise large animals themselves. Of course, this would also relieve the pressure on the livestock pen in Liangjia Village, because the guerrillas didn't have much else, and there were too many large animals.

The guerrillas originally had 6 oxen, 5 pack horses, 5 donkeys, and 4 mules, but after the spoils of previous battles, the breeding and reproduction during this period, and the spoils given by the brigade on the return journey, the number of livestock now is 10 oxen (4 of which are calves), 11 pack horses (3 of which are foals), 15 donkeys (5 of which are donkey foals), 12 mules, and 60 war horses.

With such a large number of animals, how much food do they consume every day? Of course, they also produce a lot of manure.

The first company went to Baijing Town, and the second company was not suitable to stay in Liangjia Village, so Guo Liandong led the second company to garrison in Shaguodi Village west of Qigeng Village. After some withdrawals, the number of people in the second company is now over 110, which is just right to be placed in Shaguodi Village.

As a result, the troops stationed in Liangjia Village, in addition to several teams directly under the team headquarters, include the mortar company, the half-crippled heavy machine gun company and the reorganized cavalry platoon.

The advantage of doing this is that the garrison pressure in Liangjia Village is dispersed, and the housing pressure is also dispersed. Moreover, the guerrillas here belong to the scope of the first division of the Taihang base. Since the grassroots organization has been established here, the collection of food and other things can also be carried out simultaneously. The food tax collected in the guerrilla-controlled area is just used as military rations for the guerrillas.

Although the food collected was not enough to feed so many soldiers, the captured food was enough, and the food distributed by the brigade was also not small, enough for these 800 people to eat until next summer. Without so much food, could the brigade commander allow the guerrillas to grow to a size of more than 800 people? Moreover, the New st Regiment was transferred away, so there was also the consideration of not competing for food here.

And from a strategic point of view, the guerrillas can fully develop in the large area from Ceyu Town in the east, Changshengkou in the north, and Kongshi Township in the south, and all of them can be used as bases. Of course, the premise is that they do not compete with other brother units for control areas. Although, this is something that needs to be considered in the future...
