Chapter 219 Three Armored Divisions
"why?"
Since we want to establish relations with Country M, we must go to Chongqing. Do we have to wait in Pingshun?
"Commander, if we rush to Chongqing, we won't be able to negotiate a good price! We have to hold on to it!"
Li Yunlong patted Zhao Gang's shoulder and became excited.
"I, Old Li, have never been defeated by anyone in business, but since I met you, I feel like I have met my match! Yes, I have to hide my true love, just like the virgin daughter of a landlord, and never leave the house, only then can I marry a good family!"
Zhao Gang touched his shoulder and complained secretly: Why are these two guys not like soldiers when they talk about doing business, but almost like profiteers.
"Okay, you two can chat first. I have to go see if there are any problems we need to solve at the machinery factory!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Lao Zhao!"
"It's not hard! It's hard to be with you guys!"
Zhao Gang walked away.
Now the division of labor between the independent column and Changzhi and Pingshun has basically been fixed.
As the highest commander, Li Yunlong was in charge of both military and political affairs.
Zhao Gang is mainly responsible for the ideological work of the team and the management of the area controlled by the independent column, including local government, economic construction, military-industrial system, medical system, etc.
Wang Meng mainly focuses on team organization and training.
Lin Shubing is mainly responsible for the National Defense University, Pingshun University, the Academy of Sciences and other educational undertakings.
Li Yunlong and Wang Meng arrived at the National Defense University and found Lin Shubing who was taking his final examination.
"Shubing, can the first batch of students graduate early?"
"Yes, according to the preliminary test, I have already met the requirements for joining the army!"
Li Yulong and Wang Meng took the roster handed over by Lin Shubing.
There are 1200 graduates from the first batch of students from the Pingshun National Defense University, including 1000 from the Independent Column, and the remaining 200 are students from the Infantry Academy and the Medical Corps Academy sent by the 771st, 772nd, the New st Regiment, the New nd Regiment, and the Independent Regiment.
"Okay, let's start modifying it!"
Wang Meng planned to form a team with 400 soldiers from the st Armored Division's reserve battalion.
The newly graduated cadets continued to fill the reserve battalion of the 1st Armored Division.
Among them, two tank regiments were formed based on 300 tank soldiers, which were still organized according to one Tiger heavy tank battalion and two Type 2 medium tank battalions.
The 100 artillerymen were divided into two newly formed armored divisions. Together with the existing artillerymen of the st and nd Regiments, as well as the trainees drawn from the artillery regiments, it could basically be expanded to the size of an armored division artillery regiment.
"Okay, the personnel training is basically guaranteed. If we modify it now, we will probably be able to form combat effectiveness by the end of the lunar year."
The next morning, a summary meeting of the Gaomiaoshan and Jincheng liberation battles was held in the military fortress auditorium, and all cadres at the battalion level and above were present.
Li Yulong cleared his throat.
"Zhang Dabiao, is it fun to fight the Japanese? I heard that your battalion suffered heavy losses. Can you hold on?"
"Report to the commander, can't hold on? Our battalion commander took the initiative to find me and said that he would take the remaining brothers to fight to Jincheng to save the armored division's fuel!"
"Hahaha, can your two legs catch up with the four wheels of the armored division?"
"It's beyond doubt that the soldiers of our regiment are just as fast as the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored division when taking shortcuts!"
After Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, he winked at Dai Anlan and Wang Huaibao who were trying to hold back their laughter.
"Good job, then don't modify it if that's the case!"
Zhang Dabiao froze, as if he didn't believe his ears. Didn't they say the modification would be done by the end of the year? Wasn't it only October?
"Commander, modification?"
"Yes, while we are at it this time, we are going to take advantage of this opportunity to inflict pain on the Japanese and convert your First and Second Regiments into the Second and Third Armored Divisions..."
"No, Commander. Although we infantrymen run fast, it's still more comfortable to ride in an armored vehicle!"
Zhang Dabiao's "contrast" made everyone laugh, and the scene was filled with noise.
Li Yunlong also laughed twice, then handed the scene over to Wang Meng.
"After research and decision by the Independent Column Headquarters, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Independent Column will be reorganized into the 2nd and 3rd Armored Divisions of the Independent Column, with the organization referring to the 1st Armored Division!"
As soon as Li Yunlong and Wang Meng made the announcement, the scene immediately became lively, especially the cadres from the first and second regiments.
Originally, the 1st and 2nd Regiments were the boss and the second in command, but when they were reorganized into the 1st Armored Division, the 3rd Regiment took the lead. These guys were all holding back their anger.
Now they finally caught up with the Third Regiment, and now they became infantrymen riding on armored vehicles.
Zhao Gang then announced the appointment of the division commander.
"Everyone, be quiet. According to the command's decision, the Second Armored Division Commander Zhang Dabiao and the Second Armored Division Commander Shen Quan! You will cooperate with the column command to carry out the modification!"
Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan looked at each other. Finally, the young daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law, and now she would no longer be inferior to others.
Their voices trembled and their eyes were sore.
"Yes!"
"Come on, come on, you two boys, stop acting like little wives. I can tell you that the tanks and artillery are basically deployed for you, but as for the other armored infantry and mechanized infantry, you have to figure it out on your own!"
Now the 1st and 2nd Regiments basically have four to five thousand soldiers, while an armored division has more than ten thousand people, so their gap is basically half.
However, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan were not short-sighted people and had been waiting for this day for a long time.
In their respective garrisons, they formed a supplementary regiment and a militia force using the equipment captured from the Japanese, which was more than enough to gather four to five thousand people.
These are all soldiers with certain combat experience. Although they are not as good as the regular troops who have been through hundreds of battles, they can be sent to the battlefield after a little training.
According to the latest combat form, the 1st Armored Division is stationed in Jincheng, the 2nd Armored Division is stationed in Changzhi, and the 3rd Armored Division is stationed in Pingshun.
In their respective territories, the 2nd Armored Division and the 3rd Armored Division each received equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles, and then began training with the help of the 1st Armored Division.
Standing on the training ground 30 kilometers north of Changzhi City, Zhang Dabiao put on a tank cap.
"Brothers, although we were refitted late, our combat effectiveness must exceed that of the First Armored Division! From now on, speed up your training. Anyone who fails to perform well will be kicked out of the Second Armored Division!"
Both the 2nd Armored Division and the 3rd Armored Division quickly began training.
At the same time, the three armored divisions continued to develop supplementary regiments in their respective territories in case of emergency.
While Pingshun was conducting intensive training, there was also a lot of noise in Chongqing.
Nelson, the M country ambassador, sat in the transport captain's residence with an unhappy look on his face.
"Sir, with your prestige, you can't even summon a local armed general. This makes people doubt your influence in China. Maybe we should re-evaluate the recipients of our aid!"
