Chapter 313 The lion opens its mouth
Tang Dao is very grateful.
He naturally knew the purpose of the two big men coming to the guard camp to hold the burial ceremony for the soldiers who died in the battle.
That is to give him Tang Dao support so that he can easily find various ministries to mobilize troops.
No one is willing to pick something from someone else's bowl.
Furthermore, there was not much time left for him.
While sending the two lieutenant generals back, Lieutenant General Guo whispered to Tang Dao: "You only have one afternoon."
Expanding from 200 people to 800 people in one afternoon is definitely not an easy task.
However, at such a time of war, it was already considered extremely generous. It can not only allow most of the soldiers to take a breath and recuperate, but also allow the platoon commanders, company commanders, and deputy battalion commanders selected by Tang Dao to recruit people from familiar units.
Yes, Tang Dao began to build the skeleton of the garrison camp in his mind as early as the military order to establish the garrison camp was issued.
The original two major battalion commanders both served as deputy battalion commanders of the newly established guard battalion and each concurrently served as commander of an infantry company. When there was no suitable new company commander, Tang Dao also served as commander of an infantry company himself; Peng Chong's The guard company with fifty or sixty people left could not be reorganized. Tang Dao simply let it continue to maintain the guard company organization, and then formed a fire support company using the remaining fire support platoon as the skeleton.
In this way, the basic composition of a security battalion is one guard company, three infantry companies, and one fire support company.
The organization of a guard company seems a bit nondescript in a battalion-level unit, but in position defense battles like Cangcheng, practice has proven that a guard company with a large number of continuous-fire firearms has a great advantage in resisting Japanese charges.
Especially in the close combat stage, the guard company is two levels stronger than the ordinary infantry company.
Although eighty or ninety people from the original guard company of the 644th Regiment were killed in this battle, most of their equipment was brought back as long as it was not damaged. With this equipment and the deployment of elite soldiers, the guard company may only need to restore its original combat effectiveness. A battle is enough for everyone to get to know each other.
Moreover, Tang Dao's idea is that when the people are in place, the command center is not allowed to replenish the equipment for me!
It is said that in the afternoon, when two lieutenant generals Wu and Guo saw the list of supplementary equipment reported by a certain lieutenant colonel, they collectively slapped the table and cursed someone's eight-year-old grandfather.
unacceptable.
Forget about setting up a guard company in the guard battalion. It turns out that the guard company of the 644th regiment still kept 20 submachine guns and 30 rifles. Colonel Wang Xirui gritted his teeth and refused to let him return it. Such equipment should be placed in any other unit. The chief officer was so happy that he split his mouth to the back of his head?
It turned out that this guy was not satisfied yet, so he opened his mouth and asked for 40 more submachine guns and 30 shell guns.
Forget it, if he wanted the horse to run but not eat grass, and thinking that Tang Dao might lead his troops to carry out a difficult mission, Lieutenant General Wu pinched his nose and started from the two division-level security companies of the 107th and 108th divisions and the If we need the security troops of the following 7 infantry regiments, Minato can get them together.
But with a stroke of a pen, a certain lieutenant colonel realized that he also needed 20 light machine guns, four heavy machine guns, two Oerlikon machine guns and two Type 81 mortars, which was too much.
As for the grenades, various types of ammunition, etc., the two lieutenant generals did not dare to look at them for fear that they would have a heart attack and be angry.
When the guard battalion retreated from Cangcheng, it still had seven light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and one Oerlikon machine gun. The four mortars were in the fortifications, so neither the personnel nor the guns were damaged.
Tang Dao means that each of his three infantry companies has a light machine gun and a grenade launcher. The guard company is basically equipped with shell guns and submachine guns. The fire support company is even more awesome, with 6 heavy machine guns and 6 mortars and three Oerlikon machine guns.
Why don't you Tang Dao go to heaven? What do you call a fire support company? There were 3 heavy machine gun squads, 6 small artillery squads, and 3 machine gun squads. The 12 squads alone had 180 people.
Lieutenant General Guo was almost blinded by the long catalog of Tang Dao. As the commander of an army, he had never been so wealthy! The four infantry regiments of an infantry division under his command only have 16 mortars and 6 heavy machine guns. The firepower can only be possessed by an infantry regiment, let alone the Oerlikon machine gun.
For these heavy firepowers, it shouldn't be called a security battalion, at least it must be called a security regiment.
"Tell Tang Dao to get away as far as I can! Go back and tell him that if you don't want to be the battalion commander, I have plenty of candidates." Lieutenant General Wu angrily spat at Zhao Daqiang, who had just been awarded the rank of second lieutenant.
Zhao Daqiang, who was poached by Tang Dao and served as the liaison officer for requesting equipment from the headquarters, quietly glanced at his teacher Liu Yuqing, who pretended not to hear anything, and could only stand there with a grimace without moving. Battalion Commander Tang can say that this is the first task assigned to him, and he will come to see you if he can't complete it.
At any rate, Commander Wu doesn't kill people, right?
"What? My military orders are not as good as his Tang Dao?" Seeing that Zhao Daqiang refused to leave, Lieutenant General Wu patted the table angrily.
"No, sir, Battalion Commander Tang said that the key to business negotiation is to sit down and pay back the money if you ask for a high price. If you drive me away without even paying the price, he will..." Zhao Da said Tang Dao's original words with a strong scalp. Repeated it to the Army Lieutenant General who looked and was obviously not in a good mood.
“The Tang Dao of Dog Day, this is a battlefield, who the **** wants to do business with him?” Lieutenant General Wu almost lost his temper. "Also, what does he do if I don't even pay back the price? Why don't you come and let me hear it? Just use the bastard's exact words."
"This" Zhao Daqiang looked at Guo Junzuo and Liu Shizuo who were communicating in low voices with a guilty conscience. Seeing that he could not get any help from these two old officers, he could only grit his teeth and said: "Battle Commander Tang said, then No wonder he can't give you a big gift.”
“Bah!” Lieutenant General Wu's spitting words almost washed Zhao Daqiang's face. "I, a great lieutenant general, still need a gift from his Tang Dao?"
Fortunately, there are no other people in the headquarters now. If you see Wu Junzuo, who has always been resolute and courageous, looking like he is so angry that Tang Dao is spitting, his glasses will be broken!
"Wait? Big gift?" Lieutenant General Guo, who seemed to be concerned about the matter, suddenly raised his head. "Is this what your Battalion Commander Tang said personally?"
"yes!"
"Commander-in-Chief, although Tang Dao is annoying with his loud mouth, his courtesy has always been good." Lieutenant General Guo smiled and persuaded Wu Keren, who was so angry at Tang Dao's words that he was spitting. .
"No matter how generous the gift is, I can't engage in any bargaining tricks with this guy. Otherwise, in the future, all the regimental commanders and brigade commanders will come to my place and make big mouths. Will my place become a vegetable market?" Wu frowned. The lieutenant general must have come to his senses at this moment, and was thinking about what kind of gift Tang Dao would give.
That is, we need a step.
"Didn't Tang Dao ask us to repay the money on the spot? In my opinion, it's better to replenish the shell guns, submachine guns and all other light weapons according to his requirements, and then give him half of the heavy weapons he needs, and replenish them from other troops. The officers and soldiers of the garrison camp brought their own original equipment into the garrison camp. What do you think, Commander-in-Chief? " Lieutenant General Guo knew the opportunity to help Tang Dao smooth things over with the commander-in-chief who needed a step.
“Okay! Then follow your suggestion, Brother Guo.”
The deputy commander-in-chief naturally had to give him face. Moreover, if the equipment of the garrison battalion was not strong enough and it could not live up to the title of "Songjiang's sharpest sword" as he said, Lieutenant General Wu naturally agreed.
To be honest, when he slapped the table and scolded the lion's Tang Dao, it was actually more of a show. It was for the heads of the groups below to see.
That means you should overcome the difficulties yourself. Don't reach out to the headquarters if you don't have any. The headquarters is also worried about supplies!
The lieutenant general, deputy commander and major general chief of staff of the 67th Army were busy coordinating the distribution of various supplies to the 30,000 people in the city. Not to mention weapons and ammunition, just the most basic meal, more than 30,000 mouths require 30,000 kilograms of rice and noodles a day.
That is to say, Songjiang is rich and has a lot of food stored. Otherwise, more than 30,000 people would have to fight on an empty stomach.
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!
This rule is very applicable to the commander of the Tang Dynasty.
The lion's need for equipment is only secondary; the most important thing is people.
There is a shortage of 600 men, so Battalion Commander Tang has to go to various departments of the Songjiang garrison to dig them up.
Once the little **** fails to dance well and digs into the corner, it may smash its own foot.
