Chapter 746 Is it appropriate or not
Half an hour later, the Sichuan Army's combat conference room was full of people, with familiar faces popping up in front of them, including Meng Fanle, Ma Dazhi, and others.
"Everyone, I heard that you have received a lot of new soldiers during this period. I took a quick look at the roster yesterday. You have more than 20,000 soldiers in one regiment, which is more than a division? Is that appropriate?"
Wang Meng had a blank expression on his face, which made Long Wenjian and Han Chao feel uneasy. Is this appropriate or inappropriate?
Seeing that no one answered, Wang Meng began to call out names.
"Captain Long Wenjian, tell me, is a regiment of more than 20,000 people, close to 30,000 people, appropriate?"
Long Wenjian exclaimed that he was unlucky. How come he was the first one to be called? He really didn’t check the almanac before going out!
"Is it appropriate?"
Wang Meng frowned, turned around and looked straight at Long Wenjian.
"Suitable? Is it really suitable? Captain Han, tell me!"
Han Chao is now completely numb. Is this inappropriate or not? Why isn't there even a hint?
"Isn't it appropriate?"
Wang Meng showed an expression of approval.
"Yes! It's not appropriate. Then tell me why it's not appropriate?"
This stumped Han Chao again. He really didn't know why it was inappropriate. Was it because there were too many people and they had to divide the forces?
"Chief of Staff, is it not appropriate for each battalion to have more than 6,000 people? We should..."
"That's right. More than 137 people per battalion is not appropriate. So I asked Commander Li Yunlong yesterday for instructions. From now on, the Sichuan Army Corps will be expanded into the 138th Army of the Independent Column, which will include the 139th Armored Division, the th Armored Division, and the th Infantry Division!"
Wang Meng's words were like a thunderclap. Everyone thought that their troops would be divided, but unexpectedly, not only were they not divided, but everyone was promoted two levels on the spot.
“In addition, the Tiger Regiment was expanded into the 140th Army of the Independent Column, which includes the 141th Armored Division, the 142st Armored Division, and the nd Infantry Division!
All tanks and armored vehicles have been driven directly from the Pingshun Arsenal to Kunming by the soldiers assigned to you, and then you will go to receive them."
According to Wang Meng's estimation, the current number of troops in the Sichuan Army Corps and the Tiger Regiment, if slightly supplemented with technical arms, would almost reach the strength of an army.
Therefore, we only supplement them with technical troops.
Long Wenjian and Han Chao were overjoyed, but they didn't expect that a pie would really fall from the sky and hit them on the head.
Two small regiment commanders directly became army commanders!
"Chief of Staff, when will the revision be made?"
"The 13th Army will be reorganized on the spot, and the staff I brought will cooperate! Except for some officers of the tank units who will be assigned by the general headquarters, the rest of the personnel will be reported by you, Long Wenjian!
But there is still a condition, all personnel must pass the assessment, otherwise they will be demoted. If they still fail to pass the assessment after being demoted, they will be demoted again until they become privates!"
Long Wenjian was full of confidence. Their Sichuan Army Corps had not been idle during this period. All the officers had been training day and night without exception.
Because he is so cunning, he must have recruited so many new soldiers in preparation for expanding the army. If he doesn't prepare in advance, won't he be caught off guard when the time comes?
"Make sure to complete the mission! Form combat effectiveness in two months!"
"Okay, I'll take this as a military order from you! The Sichuan Army's flag must be retained, but it must be given to the most powerful regiment among you. You can't tarnish the reputation of the Sichuan Army!"
"Yes!"
The officers of the Sichuan Army felt warm in their hearts. They didn't expect that at this critical moment, Wang Meng still remembered such a group of people.
"Han Chao!"
"To!"
"Because of the needs of the war, after your Tiger Regiment is reorganized into the 14th Army, you must immediately march to Kunming, receive weapons and equipment in Kunming, and prepare for the battle to the east out of Yunnan!"
Han Chao clenched his fists tightly. Wang Meng's words meant that their Tiger Regiment might have to go to the battlefield soon!
"Chief of Staff, is there a combat mission?"
"Now is not the time to announce it, but you must remember to always be prepared to fight and win!"
"Yes!"
"Captain Han, no, Commander Han, the specific assessment requirements are the same as the 13th Army, but you will probably encounter the enemy earlier, so your time is more limited. Whether you are a tiger or a worm depends on your performance!"
Han Chao roared.
"Everyone in the Tiger Regiment has confidence!"
All the Tiger Regiment cadres present stood up and shouted in unison:
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Yes, the momentum is good, but you must not only shout it out, but also do it! Leave immediately within half a month and go to Guandu Mountain to start training."
Wang Meng gave the 13th Army a task to train their pontoon bridge troops. They must strengthen their training and build at least ten pontoon bridges on the Nujiang River that can support heavy tanks!
The engineers of the 14th Army were also not idle. They were ordered to open a road from Kunming to Baoshan and Chanda that could accommodate heavy tanks!
Wang Meng had already made preparations for a two-front war. When the Japanese launched an attack to the southwest, the 14th Army immediately marched into Guangxi, while the 13th Army crossed the Nujiang River, attacked Myitkyina, and reached the seaport!
After Wang Meng's order was issued, each unit, with the help of the staff brought by Wang Meng, quickly formulated its own organization and called the logistics department to replenish equipment.
Wang Meng took a half-day break from his busy life and strolled around Chanda Town.
Zenda seemed to have really changed, because these merchants came for the Independent Column and were ready to do business with them, so they were particularly enthusiastic when they saw the soldiers in camouflage uniforms.
In order to protect the image of the Independent Column, the Sichuan Army and the Tiger Regiment set up several gendarmerie stations in Chanda Town to check whether the soldiers of the Welfare Column who were coming and going had violated any rules or disciplines.
However, because the Sichuan Army and the Tiger Regiment began to expand, all officers and soldiers on leave were recalled, and the town of Zenda became deserted.
Wang Meng and his accompanying guard squad were strolling along the cobblestone road when they ran head-on into Shangguan Jieci and Shen Zui, who were also wearing camouflage uniforms.
"Hey, Director Shangguan, Director Xiaozui, what are you two going to do with such sad faces?"
Shangguan Jieci and Shen Zui were suddenly called. When they looked closely, they found that it was Chief of Staff Wang.
"Hello, Chief of Staff. What brings you here?"
"Haha, it seems that the Sichuan Army did a good job of keeping secrets. They didn't even know I was here. What are you two planning to do?"
Shangguan Jieci sighed, shook his head, and turned his gaze to Shen Zui.
Shen Zui then said:
"Chief of Staff, this is what happened. Our Sichuan Army and Tiger Regiment are growing stronger and stronger, and there are more and more family members accompanying the army. There is little land here, and in order to improve their lives, the family members of the army started to do some small businesses.
But in this small town of Zenda, there are only so many things that can be sold. People in the same industry are enemies. Now two military dependents who are selling roasted corn are quarreling again!"
