Chapter 165: Reorganization of the Independent Column
Gaoda shouted to the outside of the door: "Li Dazhuang, go and notify Captain Dakang to come to the command center."
"Yes, Commander."
Li Dazhuang turned and left the command center to inform Li Dakang.
Gaoda said to Ding Wei: "Captain Ding, this is your first time to visit our county brigade. I will take you to visit the base later."
"Okay, Commander."
Afterwards, several people began to talk in the command center.
Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei never thought that one day they would be able to get together and work together.
"Kong Erlangzi, I was right to persuade you to come to the county brigade. You were unwilling to come at that time." Li Yunlong joked.
"Hehe, I didn't know the situation of the county brigade at that time. I still have to thank you, Old Li, otherwise I would not have come to the county brigade." Kong Jie said with a smile.
"Alright, alright. Lao Kong, stop being so pretentious and just treat us to a big meal."
"Hahaha, no problem, I'll treat you whatever you want to eat."
Gaoda looked at the three people chattering and interrupted, "Li Yunlong, I often hear about the glorious deeds of the three of you. Tell me about them and let me have some fun."
The three of them looked at Gundam in unison.
"Commander, I can't tell you this. I, Old Li, have to save face."
"Hahaha, forget it if you don't want to tell me. I know it anyway." Gundam said with a smile.
It didn't take long.
Li Dazhuang brought Li Dakang to the command center.
As soon as Li Dakang walked into the command center, he saw Li Yunlong and his group.
"Commander, what do you want me to do?"
Gundam walked up to Li Dakang.
"Dakang, let me introduce you to our new partner."
"This is Ding Wei, the commander of the New 1st Regiment. He has now joined the Independent Column. From now on, we are comrades in the same trench."
Gundam pointed at Ding Wei and introduced him.
"Hello, Captain Ding."
"Hello, Captain Dakang."
The two shook hands.
"Dakang, as for Li Yunlong, I won't introduce him anymore, you all know him."
Gundam walked in front of the crowd.
"Everyone, the next step for the independent column is to reorganize the troops."
In the following time, several people began to discuss the reorganization of the independent column within the command center.
In the end, Gundam decided to organize the independent column into three brigades, two artillery regiments, two logistics regiments, and one cavalry regiment.
Each brigade is equipped with a staff size of 8000 people, three infantry regiments, an artillery battalion...
In terms of weapons, there are 5000 Garand semi-automatic rifles, 340 light and heavy machine guns, 81 60mm mortars, 20 infantry guns, and 300 submachine guns.
炮兵团则是2000人的编制，配备40门107火箭炮，75毫米山炮30门。
The two logistics regiments, with a total of 4000 people, are responsible for logistics support and transporting weapons and ammunition to the front line.
Cavalry regiment of 2000 men, ................
After reorganization, the number of people in the entire independent column reached more than 34,000.
"Oh my god, if we follow this organization and configuration, our independent column will be able to take off." Li Yunlong said in shock.
When the other two heard what Li Yunlong said, they nodded in agreement.
"Commander, is this expansion too radical?" Li Dakang said worriedly.
"Yes, Commander, now all the people in our independent column add up to less than 15,000..." Kong Jie said.
Gundam looked at everyone and said seriously.
"Everyone, our independent column has become a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese. We must quickly expand our scale, otherwise we will not be able to stop the large-scale attack of the Japanese."
"I have only one request, that is, you must recruit people as hard as you can. As long as they are not criminals, you should recruit them all. As for weapons and ammunition, you don't have to worry. The arsenal is already stepping up production.
The Japanese will not launch a large-scale attack for the time being. We still have some time to develop. Once the Japanese are ready, we will face their crazy revenge. "
After hearing Gundam's analysis, everyone present nodded in agreement.
The Japanese Fourth Brigade was wiped out by the Independent Column, and the Japanese will definitely launch a retaliatory action against the Independent Column.
If we don't quickly recruit soldiers and expand the base, we will inevitably lose the ability to defend it.
Given the Japanese's cruelty, the common people in the base area would definitely suffer at their hands.
"Commander, you are right. In order to protect our base, we must recruit soldiers vigorously to stop the enemy's attack." Li Yunlong affirmed.
"That's right. In order to protect our base, we must fight the devils to the end."
After Gundam finished speaking loudly, he looked at the people in front of him.
"Everyone, I will now announce the personnel appointments."
"Li Yunlong obeyed the order, and the independent regiment joined the independent column and was officially promoted to an independent brigade.
Brigade Commander Li Yunlong, officers at all levels under the Independent Brigade, the brigade commander will make his own arrangements and report the list to me. "
"Yes, Commander." Li Yunlong said excitedly.
Gundam turned and looked at Ding Wei.
"Ding Wei, listen up. The New 1st Regiment is officially promoted to the New 1st Brigade. The Brigade Commander is Ding Wei, ..."
Ding Wei said happily: "Yes, Commander."
"Kong Jie, you will be the commander of the Peace Brigade and be responsible for all affairs of the Peace Brigade."
"Li Dakang serves as the head of the logistics department and is responsible for all logistical support work."
"Yes, Commander." The two responded in unison.
For the two artillery regiments, Gao Da appointed Li Dazhu as the commander of the First Artillery Regiment and Wang Chengzhu as the commander of the Second Artillery Regiment.
The cavalry regiment was led by Sun Desheng.
"Everyone, now you have all received your new appointments. The next step is to work hard to recruit people."
"I don't care about the process, I only care about the results. Every military commander is responsible for recruiting enough people to fill his unit."
"Do you understand?"
Everyone responded loudly after hearing Gundam's words.
"Yes, Commander. I'll make sure the mission is accomplished."
Gundam looked at everyone and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, let's break up the meeting now."
"When you guys go back, please send me the list of the battalion commanders of each regiment as soon as possible. I will report to the headquarters in person.
Then the headquarters will send a group of political commissars, and we must set up the independent column as soon as possible."
"Yes, Commander."
Several people turned around and left the command center, and began to go back to arrange the reorganization of the troops.
Gundam stood in the command center, looking at the large map in front of him.
The map marked the areas that the independent column needed to govern, including Ping'an County, Heyuan County, Shouhan County, and Dai County. More than half of the vast rural areas in northwestern Shanxi were assigned to the independent column for management.
