Anti-japanese War: Stop Pretending, You, Li Yunlong, Did It!

　　No one would have thought that Commander-in-Chief Ding, with such a big hand, expanded the army by 10 at a time, plus the 7 recruits recruited earlier, plus the newly formed 20th Infantry Division, the total number of the 40th Army Group, by The previous [-] was approaching [-].

　　40 troops, thinking about it, everyone here is full of enthusiasm.

　　Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Dazhu couldn't hold back any longer, and said excitedly: "Commander-in-chief, we really expanded our army by 10 again. It's great."

　　Ding Wei looked at everyone's expressions and smiled slightly: "This recruitment work, recruiting 10 new recruits at one time, the task is relatively heavy, I suggest to set up as many recruiting points as possible within our base area, this time since there are sufficient recruits , we have to worry about recruiting.

　　This time, the recruitment time can be longer. I think it will take half a month. Tomorrow, we will post the notice of large-scale recruitment. At the same time, tomorrow's "Datong Daily" will be on the front page, reporting and Spread the word about our recruitment. "

　　Everyone carefully recorded Ding Wei's deployment. In the entire office, only Ding Wei's voice and rustling voice were written.

　　Ding Wei paused for a moment, and then continued: "After this recruitment is completed, those young comrades who are not elected can be recruited into our factories as long as they meet our conditions. Our factories will soon expand their production scale. Lots of labor and workers."

　　"Yes! We will make arrangements for recruiting workers."

　　Seeing that Ding Wei wanted to recruit workers in large numbers, Fang Zheng was the happiest, and he promised to be happy immediately.

　　Now, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of General Staff, is also very happy, and Comrade Zuo Qingquan also said happily: "Commander-in-chief, we have recruited so many new recruits this time, and the number of troops has surged. Should we change the previous composition of our troops? Woolen cloth?"

　　The left chief of staff deserves to be from the first phase of Huangpu, and he saw this at once.

　　In fact, Ding Wei had already considered the issue of the formation of the army. In Ding Wei's mind, he already had a case, but Ding Wei did not expect that the situation would be so hot this time. I haven't had time to tell everyone about this plan.

　　Now, seeing the question from Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of the General Staff, Ding Wei intends to tell everyone about his plan now.

　　So, Ding Wei smiled slightly: "Comrades, we are recruiting 10 new recruits this time, and our troop formation must be adapted accordingly. In addition, I have also considered the issue of troop formation for a while. Now, let me tell you about the solution I have considered.

　　Our army currently has seven infantry divisions, one armored division, one cavalry division, one artillery division, one guard division and one flying brigade. As for the ten local guard brigades that are being formed, since they are local troops, they are not in our consideration. within the range.

　　This time, when we have recruited 10 new recruits, the total number of our infantry will be close to 40. Therefore, I plan to set up 10 columns based on seven infantry divisions, armored divisions, cavalry divisions and artillery divisions, all the original divisions. It was changed to a column, and only the guard division and the flying brigade remained the same.

　　After being changed to columns, each column has two divisions, one heavy artillery brigade and one cavalry regiment. The heavy artillery brigade is equipped with 60 155mm howitzers. In the future, the large-caliber self-propelled artillery and vehicle-mounted rocket launchers we will produce will be equipped with heavy artillery brigade.

　　Each division has two infantry brigades under its jurisdiction, one is directly under the 105mm howitzer artillery regiment, and the other is directly under the 39-type tank regiment. Each infantry brigade has three infantry regiments under its jurisdiction.

　　In the future, the total number of each column will reach about 3 people, and each column will be a combat unit with basic reading ability. Of course, if there is a major battle, several columns can also fight together. "

　　After listening to Ding Wei's plan, everyone felt that it was very reasonable, and there was basically no major objection.

　　As soon as Ding Wei finished speaking, only Comrade Liu Dazhu raised some doubts in his heart, "Commander-in-chief, I agree with your plan very much, but there is one thing I still do not understand, that is, after the formation of the column, the cavalry division, the armored division and the What about the heavy artillery?"

　　Ding Wei smiled and explained patiently: "Comrades, after we established the column, the three divisions were disbanded, but on the basis of the original they became columns. At present, the ten cavalry regiments of the cavalry division are allocated to each Columns, exactly one cavalry regiment per column.

　　The armored and heavy artillery divisions were also equally distributed among the ten newly formed columns, and each column set up its own heavy artillery brigades and tank regiments on the basis of these.

　　Regarding the cavalry, I will reiterate it here. With the progress of the times and the introduction of tanks and armored vehicles into the battlefield, the cavalry has been declining, so I decided that each column should only retain the establishment of one cavalry regiment, the total number of cavalry in our army. no longer expand.

　　Our main focus will be on the mechanized construction of each column. My long-term plan is to use about two years to basically realize the mechanization of more than half of the columns. All infantry regiments must be established as mechanized infantry regiments. "

　　After listening to Ding Wei's words, everyone became excited again. Everyone thought in their hearts, the commander-in-chief really has a long-term perspective. Not only is the 10-column establishment plan very reasonable, but also the mechanization of the troops is now starting to be considered.

　　Ding Wei looked at everyone's expressions and knew that they had to be digested well, so Ding Wei said again: "These are just a preliminary idea of ​​mine, and the specific plan is still to be taken by the General Staff Department and the General Political Department together. Come up with a detailed plan..."

　　After hearing this, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of the General Staff, and Comrade Deng Wenping, Director of the General Political Department, immediately stated, "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, we will use the fastest time to come up with a detailed plan."

　　Ding Wei smiled and nodded lightly: "Old Zuo, Lao Deng, don't be too anxious, this large-scale military expansion will disrupt the formation of the troops to a great extent, and your workload is still huge. Yes, I'll give you 10 days."

　　"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, we must come up with a reasonable plan." The two said in unison.

　　After talking with everyone about the formation of the troops, Ding Wei told everyone about the issue of the column in detail.

　　In fact, everyone has heard of the formation of "columns". During the Nanchang Uprising, the Red Army of the Workers and Peasants of the Celestial Dynasty and some local armed and guerrillas also formed columns.During the current period of the Anti-Japanese War, some guerrilla units led by the Celestial Dynasty [***] used to be called columns.

　　However, the columns that Ding Wei mentioned are different from these. The columns that the [-]th Army will set up are actually equivalent to the army.

　　The column equivalent to the army mainly began to appear in the later period of the liberation war. In the early period of the liberation war, a total of 27 field columns (including divisions equivalent to columns) and 6 field brigades were organized.

　　The columns that Ding Wei mentioned were somewhat similar to the ones that appeared during the War of Liberation, but they were larger in scale and better equipped. For example, the 10 columns of the 3th Army Group each had 5 people when it was established. , all armed with heavy artillery and tanks.

　　When Ding Wei explained the formation of the column in detail based on his own understanding, everyone heard it with enthusiasm and was full of longing for the [-]th Army in the future.

　　In Ding Wei's office, everyone had a long discussion together, and this meeting lasted for two or three hours.

　　After the meeting, watching everyone leave one after another, Ding Wei was alone in the office, and he seemed smug. Ding Wei was full of expectations for the [-]th Army after the reorganization.

　　Ding Wei thought, after the 10 columns are reorganized, it will only take half a year to form a strong fighting force, and then they can be pulled out to do some activities. After another year or two, they can basically start looking for the bad luck of the little devils.

　　Ding Wei thought about it for a long time in his office, the more he thought about it, the happier he became, and finally, Ding Wei himself laughed happily.

　　After a long time, Ding Wei took back his thoughts and put his mind on the recruitment work. Ding Wei decided to go to Datong for a visit tomorrow to find out the situation.

　　Just after listening to the report of the Chief of Staff Left, the situation was so hot, Ding Wei's mind was also hooked, and he really wanted to see the specific situation.

　　Ding Wei is gradually not feeling strange about such a hot situation now. Ding Wei thought, maybe his [-]th Army Corps formed the Mengsui Corps that wiped out the little devil some time ago, and then publicly executed such a Many senior officers of little devils have pushed the enthusiasm of the people to join the army to a high point. .

Chapter 478

　　The next day, Ding Wei had just entered the headquarters of the 10th Army Group, and Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the chief of the general staff, said to Ding Wei happily: "Commander-in-chief, today we are only in Datong, and we have added [-] new recruiting points, but we are here today. More people have been drafted into the army than yesterday, and now, our recruiting points have been surrounded by water."

　　Hearing this, Ding Wei was also very happy. The recruiting point continued to be popular, which was also Ding Wei's expectation. Yesterday, Ding Wei had basically figured out why so many people came to join the army to fight the little devils.

　　Ding Wei wanted to see such a hot recruiting scene himself, so Ding Wei smiled and said, "Old Zuo, since the scene is so hot, let's go and have a look."

　　The chief of the general staff also said happily: "Okay, let's go and see."

　　The left chief of staff went to see the situation of several recruiting points in Datong City two days ago. The situation in the past few days has been reported by the comrades below. Take a look.

　　Although Ding Wei had already prepared in his heart and expected that the scene would be very hot, Ding Wei was still slightly surprised when he actually arrived at the scene.

　　This is just one of the more than a dozen recruiting points in Datong, but Ding Wei and Zuo Qingquan came to this recruiting point after nine o'clock in the morning with several guards.

　　I saw a huge crowd of people at the recruiting point not far away, and the dark crowd surrounded the recruiting point firmly. Judging by the number of people, there were at least several thousand people.

　　Fortunately, this recruiting point was set up in a square in Datong. If it was next to the street, so many people under 19 would definitely block the street.

　　Seeing this scene, the chief of the general staff said happily: "Commander-in-chief, congratulations, with so many people, the quality of the recruits we recruited this time will definitely be better than the previous times."

　　Ding Wei also nodded happily. Ding Wei thought to himself, with so many people, there would be a lot of choices, so Ding Wei said: "Old Zuo, this time, we must register the education level of this batch of recruits in detail, it is convenient In the future, we can make the best use of their talents and give full play to their cultural knowledge level.”

　　The left chief of staff next to him quickly said happily: "Commander-in-chief, rest assured, we will do a detailed registration this time."

　　Ding Wei believes that in order to develop his troops to a high level in the future, the cultural knowledge level of the soldiers is more important, such as pilots, tank soldiers, artillerymen, etc., all require a certain level of education.

　　It is precisely because of the importance of knowledge and education that every company in the Thirty-sixth Army Group now has a study class. After training, the soldiers spend one to two hours every day to study cultural knowledge.

　　Many soldiers who used to be illiterate in Dou Da can basically write letters to their families now, and the worst ones can write their own names and can barely read newspapers.

　　While Ding Wei was happily watching the crowd of people not far away, a soldier of the [-]th Army came running over, stood upright in front of Ding Wei and Zuo Qingquan, saluted, and said respectfully: "Hello, Chief! We are going Recruitment work, please instruct the chief."

　　This soldier should be the person in charge of a recruiting point. When he saw Ding Wei and Zuo Qingquan coming, he immediately lined up the crowd, and finally squeezed out and reported to Ding Wei.

　　Ding Wei returned a military salute and said solemnly, "Go on!"

　　Watching the person in charge leave, Ding Wei said with great interest, "Old Zuo, let's go in and have a look."

　　Hearing this, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the general staff, was also very interested, and said happily, "Commander-in-chief, that's what I mean."

　　Several accompanying guards immediately opened the way, and Ding Wei and others walked into the crowd.

　　At first, the noisy crowd didn't notice Ding Wei and the others. Maybe most of these people came to Datong from all over the country, and everyone didn't recognize Ding Wei and others right away.

　　The people on the periphery of the crowd saw several soldiers in uniforms of the [-]th Army, opening the way in front of them, eager to squeeze in. These people who managed to occupy this position were extremely reluctant to give in a little.

　　Because there were too many people outside the recruiting point, the guards and soldiers who opened the way also spent a lot of effort to advance twenty or thirty meters, and there was still at least twenty or thirty meters away from the recruiting point in front of them. .

　　Just when these comrades who opened the way felt more laborious and annoyed, someone finally recognized Ding Wei. Today, Ding Wei and Zuo Qingquan are both wearing military uniforms, which are basically not much different from the large-scale photos published in the newspapers.

　　I don't know who shouted: "Everyone, look at it, it seems to be Commander Ding."

　　"Where? Where?"

　　"It's really Commander Ding, I'm so happy, Commander Ding is here in person."

　　Seeing that everyone recognized him, Ding Wei smiled and said loudly: "Hello everyone! Everyone has worked hard."

　　Several guards next to him, seeing that everyone recognized Ding Wei, immediately looked tight and worried about Ding Wei's safety.

　　Ding Wei looked at the guards who were facing the enemy, couldn't help but smiled and said softly, "Comrades, it's okay, just relax."

　　Outside the recruiting point, more and more people recognized Ding Wei. Immediately, everyone cheered excitedly. The atmosphere was very lively. Many people stood on tiptoes and craned their necks, hoping to see Ding Wei.

　　People around Ding Wei also took the initiative to make way at this time. Ding Wei, surrounded by several guards, finally came to the recruiting point in the center of the crowd.

　　Next to the recruiting point, there is about a platoon of soldiers maintaining order, which looks a little empty. There is a table in the middle row, with a dozen soldiers, who are in charge of recruiting. a lot of information.

　　The person in charge of the recruiting point, seeing Ding Wei and others, finally squeezed in, and walked in front of Ding Wei a little embarrassed, like a child who did something wrong.

　　The person in charge lowered his head and whispered, "Commander-in-chief, we didn't do our job well, and the scene was so chaotic that the chiefs almost couldn't get in."

　　Ding Wei patted the person in charge lightly on the shoulder with understanding, and comforted: "It doesn't matter, so many people, even if you want to maintain order, it must be difficult."

　　Hearing this, the person in charge was very moved, but he didn't expect Ding Wei to understand him so well.

　　In the past, when we first started recruiting, the order was pretty good. Since there were not many people, everyone lined up in a neat line, but later, more and more people came here to join the army, and everyone was a little confused. This recruiting point , even if there is a platoon of soldiers maintaining order, it is basically useless.

　　Now, only a small area in front of the recruiting point can be guaranteed to be in order, and other places can't be controlled so much. If thousands of people line up, then the line is estimated to be quite long.

　　In order to maintain order, the person in charge has put in a certain amount of effort, but there are too many people here, and he can only keep it like this.

　　The person in charge did not tell Ding Wei about these matters, but when Ding Wei saw this scene, he felt that the person in charge was not responsible, so Ding Wei comforted him. The person in charge was so moved that his eyes were almost red.

　　Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the general staff, looked at the eager people around him, and said to Ding Wei with emotion: "Commander-in-chief, this scene is too hot, but I'm happy."

　　Hearing this, Ding Wei also smiled happily.

　　After laughing, Ding Wei walked to a table, picked up the record form on the table and looked at it briefly. Seeing that the form was well done and the records were comprehensive, Ding Wei nodded with satisfaction.

　　On the chiding table next to him, there are just a few young people preparing to apply for the recruitment. One of them is quite burly. At first glance, he does not look like an ordinary person, but a veteran who has experienced battles.

　　Ding Wei looked at it for a while, and then asked with a smile: "Comrade, have you fought a war before!"

　　Seeing Ding Wei asking himself personally, this man looked a little excited, "Sir, I used to be from the [-]th Division of the Kuomintang, but our troops have been defeated again and again, and it's been more than half a year now that we haven't beaten little devils. , I really can't hold back, I feel quite useless in my heart.

　　No, seeing that your [-]th Group has won several great victories one after another, my brothers and I together, most of our people have come to Datong, and we only have one wish, that is to join the [-]th Group Army , go to the battlefield to fight the little devils and avenge the dead brothers. "

　　Hearing this, Ding Wei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the [-]th Division, the so-called elite [***], would desert and join his [-]th Army.

　　Ding Wei immediately became interested, so Ding Wei asked again, "What position did you hold in the [-]th Division before?"

　　The [***] said proudly: "Sir, I used to be a company commander in the [-]th Division, but as long as I can join the [-]th Army, I can fight little devils on the battlefield, even if It's a big soldier, and I'm willing too."

　　Ding Wei looked at the name [***] with satisfaction, Ding Wei thought, since even the elite of [***] have come to defect to his [-]th Army Group, then there are probably a lot of those rogue troops. The soldiers came to Datong, and there must be many grass-roots officers and veterans with rich battlefield experience.

　　Now is the time when I need people. The reorganization of ten columns will be carried out soon, and there is a lack of a large number of grass-roots commanders. With these [***] company platoon leaders, as long as they are slightly modified, they can be fully utilized. .
