Glorious Mission 1937

() "Do you have any opinions on the reorganization of the army, and you can speak up if you have any opinions?" Chen Feng said.

After listening to Chen Feng's reorganization plan, the atmosphere in the entire meeting room suddenly became high. It's no wonder that these officers were happy. How long did it take for the troops to form an army? How can you be unhappy that you are a senior military and political officer.

This has to be left to the other troops. They are even platoon officers at the first level if they are exhausted. Many of them are even new recruits. The gap is not usually big.

Chief of Staff Yang Yi said with a little worry: "Master, we used to only have three infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments. Now we have expanded to fifteen regiments. Isn't it a bit fast? In addition, the national government only gave a total of After compromising the establishment and numbers of our four regiments, we have expanded so many troops at once, will the summit be blamed?"

"It's true that the expansion of the army has taken a big step, but it is also forced by the situation. If we still have the number of the previous security regiment, it will be fine, and the little devils will not take us seriously. A small security regiment That's all, even if they come to attack again, it will be no more than a brigade at most, and they will never send division-level troops to encircle us, because the little devil can't afford to lose this person. But now the chairman and Yan Zhang are making such a fuss , We have been put on the stove. No matter how many troops we actually have, we are already an infantry division to the outside world. The little devils suffered a big loss in Tianzhen this time. With their character of revenge, next time The attack will definitely be shocking, maybe we will face the complete field division of the Japanese army next time, can we do it without expanding the army?"

Then Chen Feng continued: "As for Nanjing, it doesn't matter if it's blamed or not. We didn't fight the devils because of him or someone like Jiang. This army is the pole I pulled up, Chen Feng, and every penny I spent was paid by my Chen family." Yes, it has nothing to do with the national government, so I have the final say on how to expand the army and how much to expand. Besides, the matter of the Jingbei brigade is only known internally and not announced to the outside world, so we only have two brigades to the outside world, Nanjing There will be no opinion."

"Master, the army has expanded so many people all of a sudden, and the equipment and food and salaries needed are astronomical. Can our logistics keep up?" Li Wensheng asked.

"We have no shortage of weapons and equipment. Even if the weapons and equipment promised by Nanjing and Taiyuan cannot be fulfilled for the time being, the weapons and equipment in our inventory and those captured by the Japanese army are enough to equip the entire army. Besides, our arsenal is not enough now. After entering the regular system, the rifles and ammunition can basically be self-sufficient. It’s just that the artillery is still lacking, especially the large-caliber artillery. The food and salary are enough for the time being, but the source of troops is a problem. It is impossible for Ning and Fengzhen counties to recruit so many soldiers in a short period of time. In addition, there is a big shortage of officers and doctors." Chen Feng said.

"Master, according to your expansion plan, our 222nd Division has a total of nearly 5000 people, and we only have about 1 people not counting the wounded. The gap is indeed not small. However, Jining, Shangdu and Feng Isn’t the original security regiment in the town assigned to us? These two security regiments should be merged into one infantry regiment. In addition, Commander Yan promised to add eight recruit companies to us, and there are more than 1000 people in total, so the number of troops The shortfall should be around 3 people," Yang Yi said.

"It's far more than 3 people. In addition to the army that needs people, our arsenal, clothing factory, steel factory, and mining field all need people. Because of the shortage of people and raw materials, the production capacity of our steel factory can only reach one tenth of the designed capacity. One, our arsenal can't produce at full capacity, so we need at least 5 people, [-] soldiers and [-] workers." Chen Feng said with a frown.

"Master, in the past few days, I have collected relevant information on Fengzhen, Jining, and Shangdu. Among these three counties, Jining is not bad. The Pingsui Railway passes through there. The population of the county is about 25. 20. Fengzhen and Shangdu are in the same situation as Xinghe. They are both well-known poor places. People died of starvation in the past two years. The combined population of the two counties is less than 50, which means that within our jurisdiction The total population is less than [-], and it is impossible to recruit [-] young and strong laborers anyway. If the strong men are forcibly arrested, on the one hand, it will arouse the resistance of the common people, and on the other hand, there will be no one to cultivate the land in the jurisdiction. Food and pay will also be in trouble." Yang Yi said.

"The gap of 5 people does not necessarily have to be young and strong men, but also young women, such as quilt factories and arsenal factories. The jobs in these places are most suitable for women. Needless to say, quilt factories are women's jobs. He is good at it. Most of the work in the arsenal is done by machines, and both men and women can do it. In addition, it is not necessary to recruit soldiers in our jurisdiction. This world is chaotic, and chaos will produce refugees. What are refugees? Refugees It is those who cannot survive, these people are the easiest to be absorbed into the army, and some of the officers here are refugees before, so we can't just limit our eyes to our one-third of an acre of land." Chen Feng said.

"What the teacher said makes sense. Refugees have fled to us one after another since July, and the number has increased in recent months. There were [-] refugees who fled to us last month alone. People." Yang Yi said.

"Well, let me tell you about the recent missions of your three brigades. The 222nd brigade will be deployed immediately to defend Fengzhen, the 223rd brigade will be deployed to defend Jining, and the Jingwei brigade will send a battalion to Shangdu County. Your next task is to recruit troops and expand your strength. In less than a month, I saw three full infantry brigades instead of three empty ones. As for where you go to recruit troops and what method you use, I don’t care. But there is one thing you need to pay attention to. If you can’t catch strong men, who would dare Disobedience and dismissal on the spot."

"The other thing is that the little devils won't give us much time. There will be a big move in half a month at most. Your speed is fast. I will take care of the equipment, food and all the logistical support. You just rack your brains to recruit people for the teacher. Got it, do you understand?" Chen Feng asked loudly.

"Understood!" All the officers replied in unison.

After the meeting, Chen Feng took Yehelina and Xu Hu to the Daqingshan base. At this time, the Daqingshan base had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to half a year ago. From the foot of the mountain, there were bright and dark whistles everywhere. A large number of semi-basement cement bunkers were found.

Although there is only one road up the mountain as before, this mountain road has been forcibly widened to about three meters, and the road surface is not badly repaired. Although cars cannot be driven yet, horse-drawn carriages can go.

A large number of wooden houses have been built on the mountain, and there are countless densely packed houses. In addition, there are a large number of giant caves on the mountain, which is very lively with people coming and going.

"Huzi, how many people are there on the mountain now?" Chen Feng asked intently.

Xu Hu thought for a while and said: "Now there are more than 6000 troops on the mountain, more than 500 workers, and more than 1 field hospitals, totaling more than [-]."

"Is the house enough to live in?"

"Not enough. There are now five districts on the mountain: steel mills, mining farms, arsenals, gunpowder factories, field hospitals, and warehouses. Except for the field hospitals, which have fixed wooden houses, the rest live in caves, smaller caves. There are 30 people, and 200 people live in a larger cave, and each worker has a bed and a set of salutes, and the conditions are very difficult." Xu Hu replied.

"Where do those Jews live?" Feng Chen suddenly thought of the nine hundred Jews sent by Delixi.

"The master told us to treat those foreigners well, so they were gathered in wooden houses near the steel factory. Those without families shared a room with four people, and those with wives and children shared a wooden house with each family. The other old men each Alone in a room."

Chen Feng knew that the old man Xu Hu mentioned meant those experts and professors, and these were all high-level talents. As soon as he went up the mountain, Chen Feng told Xu Hu to treat these people well and use the best in everything.

The conditions on the mountain are very difficult, and the troops live in tents, even Xu Hu, the leader of the army stationed on the mountain, is the same.After arriving at the barracks, Chen Feng asked Xu Hu to immediately notify the managers of each factory and his old man to have a meeting in the barracks.

Half an hour later, all the managers of the factories arrived, including the experts appointed by Chen Feng, and a small tent was full.

Some of the managers of these factories were appointed by Chen Feng, such as Nan Gongyu, the director of the armory factory, Xue Zhiping, the director of the iron and steel factory, and Hu Jishi, the director of the field hospital. Chen Feng knew these people.But there are still some who were appointed by his father after he went to the mountain, and Chen Feng is not very familiar with this part.

"Everyone, there are three things for everyone to come here today. The first thing is to announce good news to everyone, that is, our security team has achieved brilliant results in the first test. In the battle of Tianzhen, our army wiped out the Japanese puppet army More than 222 people wiped out one infantry regiment and two infantry brigades of the Japanese army, and also killed Major General Koji Sakai, head of the first mixed brigade of the Japanese army. A commendation order was sent, and the security regiment was promoted to the 222nd Division of the National Revolutionary Army du li, and I was promoted to the commander of the major general of the du li [-]nd division. The troops could not have achieved such results without the bloody battles of the soldiers in front, let alone you These heroes who are silently fighting in the rear. Therefore, my teacher specially approved [-] oceans to reward the workers and leaders in the base."

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, there was warm applause in the meeting room.Everyone was very happy when the troops won the battle, and as Chen Feng said, they had a share of credit for it.What's more, there are only more than [-] people in the base. Excluding those who are soldiers, there are only more than [-] real workers. The [-] yuan can be distributed to each person on average. salary.
