Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 509

Chapter 509: 'Recruit Danzi' Company Commander's Problem (Part 1)

There are 73 people who can still participate in the original Sihang Battalion, 538 people who can still participate in the original guard camp, and 507 people who can still participate in the original security group, including those who are still treating wounds in the field hospital and actively requesting to return to the army. About 50 people.

Tang Dao is organized into 8 companies for the entire independent battalion, with a total strength of 1,200 people, and there is still a shortage of more than 70 people.

These vacancies are actually reserved for the seriously injured who are still lying in hospital beds.

After the continuous battles, whether it is the Four Elements Battalion, the Garrison Battalion or the Security Group, there are many seriously injured people being treated. Of course, those with disabilities have no choice but to retire after recovering from their injuries, but if those wounded who can still recover know The old troops are gone, and there is no place for them in the newly established independent battalion. What kind of desolation must that be?

So, except for Gu Xishui's special operations team, which is fully staffed, the rest, whether it is the infantry company, artillery company, baggage company, or special agent company, all have a shortage of nearly ten people.

There was no official who came to Tang Dao to complain about the lack of people. Not only did they realize Tang Dao's painstaking efforts, but more importantly, they were too busy to touch the ground.

Especially the four infantry companies, the personnel changed greatly.

Take Qian Dazhu's third company as an example. He was originally the second platoon commander of the second company of the security battalion. This time he was appointed as the commander of the third company of the independent battalion. The infantry platoons he was familiar with were all left to him. Lei Xiong was very fond of him. With the support of the new company commander, there are only less than 30 people, and there are nearly 110 people left. There are more than 60 new recruits from the security group, plus more than 40 original veterans from the Four Lines Battalion and the Guard Battalion. .

There are more than 70 veterans of the regular army. The security regiment soldiers are said to be new recruits. In fact, they have experienced several battles and are better than the veterans of many troops. There is no problem in terms of combat effectiveness.

But as the new company commander, he had to deal with the problem of personnel arrangement.

Tang Dao only announced the appointment of each company deputy and three infantry platoon leaders. Lei Xiong was even more simple. With a stroke of his pen, he only gave a list of personnel and did not mention who would be the squad leader and who would be the squad deputy.

Him, the infantry company commander, has to rely on him to arrange all of this.

Want to make arrangements purely based on military rank?

That's really thinking too much.

Not to mention that the youngest privates in the Sixing Battalion since the **** battle in Songhu are now holding the rank of sergeant, and some of the outstanding ones are now second lieutenants, like Gu Xishui, Erya and Yang Xiaoshan, let's just say The twenty-something veteran in the garrison camp is also a sergeant.

Sergeants represent their bravery and their military merit. If such elites are placed in the ordinary army, the chief officer will be extremely happy.

But there are too many elites, and the chief officer's joy is followed by distress. He must find more elites among these elites to serve as squad leaders, squad vice-presidents, and elite shooters.

Elite shooters are the required establishment of Tang Dao for each infantry squad. There should be at least one. If there are particularly outstanding ones, two can be set up. They will enjoy the treatment of squad deputy according to their level, and the military salary will be an extra ocean.

9 infantry squads, which means that he has to select 27 people from the more than 100 men under his command to occupy positions suitable for them.

Compared with these 9 infantry squads, the small artillery squad with two mortars and the heavy machine gun squad with one heavy machine gun are relatively simple. Those two things are very professional, and Lei Xiong's allocation This was also taken into consideration at the time, and its main gunners and heavy machine gunners were veterans specially drawn from Pang Dahai's artillery company and Cheng Tieshou's fire support company.

The squad leader and squad deputy are undoubtedly born from these few veterans. Naturally, most of their squad members are composed of soldiers from the security regiment. Qian Dazhu is not stupid enough to assign those veterans to the fire support unit.

However, the recruits who have grown up in the war also know at this time that this is also the first threshold set by Tang Dao for them, the new chief officers. If they can't even do this, let alone command the battle in the future.

Of course Qian Dazhu could choose the simplest and easiest way to reuse his familiar subordinates and promote some soldiers who are brave and capable of commanding to squad leaders, but that would inevitably cause confusion among the new soldiers. dissatisfied.

The soldiers of the security group are not bad. After all, they were once part of the militia. They know how much they have. If they want to complain, they can only mutter a few words in private.

But what about those veterans of the Sixing Camp? They can be regarded as the most direct troops of Battalion Commander Tang Daotang, and they have fought against the most ferocious Japanese troops for the rest of their lives. Later, like them, they participated in the **** battle to defend Baihe Port and annihilate the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade.

They are all outstanding in terms of qualifications and combat effectiveness.

If you want to be simple, you have to take risks; if you want to be balanced, and if you want to be as reasonable as possible, you have to find the most reasonable solution.

Being a company commander now is far different from what I considered as a platoon commander back then.

This is the so-called head determines the position of the buttocks, and the position of the buttocks determines the person's vision and pattern.

At this point, Qian Dazhu has improved as fast as his various tactical skills on the battlefield.

But these Tang Dao had no way of knowing. Tang Dao didn't have time to observe the ability value range of each of his subordinates. He could only see Qian Dazhu's commanding ability and the potential of this recruit who had chatted with him through the battlefield.

So, taking advantage of the gap between the wars, he gave such a question to the new company commanders under his command. In addition to the command ability, he gave a test question on management and coordination abilities.

Such test questions are not difficult for veteran grassroots commanders such as Leng Feng, Cheng Tieshou, and Pang Panghai.

They already have a "bad reputation", such as Leng Feng. Yesterday, the news that the independent battalion was about to be established had just blown out. Almost everyone unanimously believed that he would definitely become the commander of the independent battalion's main infantry company.

Not only was Major Leng Feng Leng a direct subordinate of Tang Dao, but his reputation for killing three Japanese invaders with his own bayonet in the Four Lines Battle was by no means inferior to that of the Tang battalion commander. The veterans of the Four Lines Battalion unanimously agreed that, If there are three giants in the Sihang Camp, Major Leng Feng Leng, who was ruthless to the Japanese invaders after losing his young brother, is definitely the third giant. For this point, even Captain Cheng Tieshou, who made a brilliant ambush on the Japanese fighter formation in Baihe Port, cannot reach it. .

Let's talk about Cheng Tieshou. Not to mention that he was one of the first people to follow Tang Dao and Lei Xiong. Let's talk about his record of personally controlling machine guns and Japanese planes in two consecutive low-altitude duels and destroying two Japanese planes. Which one can be found in the independent camp?

That is the perfect combination of bravery and skill, but no one is dissatisfied with the machine gun shooters, including Heizi who was transferred to the special forces team by Tang Dao.

There is also Peng Panghai, not to mention that this is a veteran who has been immersed in the artillery industry for ten years. Anyone who is an artilleryman can disapprove of his skill in handling artillery. In the battle against the 36th Infantry Brigade, this man led a group of artillerymen to participate in brutal hand-to-hand combat due to a flanking Japanese attack. He was so shocked that even a fierce man like Lieutenant Lei Xionglei raised his flag at him after the war. thumb.

This old cannon from Shandong was able to kill several Japanese soldiers by himself with the barrel of the cannon.

Thinking about this guy carrying a cannon barrel weighing more than 30 kilograms as a sledgehammer, everyone couldn't help but feel numb. If they had met him, they would probably have been hit so hard that they wouldn't even recognize him.

Although people like Peng Chong and Li Jijin are not as famous as the three above, they are veteran guard company commanders and veterans who have been in the army for more than ten years. They are well versed in the rules of the army, and they have their own differences. s method.

Needless to say about the baggage company, the two commanders of the security regiment may not be intimidating to the veterans of the Four Lines Battalion and the Garrison Battalion, but 90% of their subordinates are former security regiment soldiers, and given their special Sexually, Zhuang Shisan, who was in charge of logistics, specially arranged for seven or eight veterans who had either injured their arms or legs in the battle to serve as squad platoon leaders. The original squad platoon leaders basically served as squad deputy platoon deputy, which is not even the heart. No need to do anything, the stage is set up.

In the end, after all calculations, Qian Dazhu and Zhao Daqiang, the two "newcomers" who were directly promoted from platoon commander to company commander, were slightly inferior in terms of reputation and ability.

Zhao Daqiang is still being treated in the field hospital and will not be released from the hospital until night at the earliest. Therefore, Lei Xiong, the deputy battalion commander in charge of the infantry company, can only help him organize the company himself. Deputy battalion commander Lei has a terrible reputation. Leng Feng, who can disapprove of him?

This is called 'a blessing in disguise'! Zhao Daqiang, who was almost in tears due to the pain of missing a piece of flesh on his butt, finally escaped a disaster.

That leaves Qian Dazhu, the 'unlucky boy'.

Including Tang Dao, everyone watched how the new recruit Danzi Company Commander built his own infantry company.
