Resistance against Japan: Starting with the local militia

Chapter 291 Military Reform

After having dinner with red lotus root, everyone gradually headed towards the brigade headquarters conference room.

While the brigade commander was still away, everyone chatted in small groups about their own situations.

At 7 o'clock sharp, Tang Weiguo arrived at the brigade headquarters conference room on time.

Upon seeing the brigade commander arrive, everyone in the conference room stood up and shouted at Tang Weiguo.

"Hello, Brigadier!"

"Hello everyone!" Tang Weiguo saluted everyone in greeting.

"Everyone, please sit down now."

After Tang Weiguo sat down, everyone else sat down as well.

"Everyone seems to be in good spirits. It looks like you've all had a comfortable year after the New Year," Tang Weiguo said with a smile.

"Brigade Commander, when are we going to fight the Japanese? Lately, everyone's been training and training all the time, we're so bored we're practically rolling on the floor. I even feel like I've gained weight," Tang Dazhuang said casually.

"You'll be involved in the battles, so now focus on training your troops and strengthening our forces," Tang Weiguo said.

"As you've probably all heard recently, and you all know the content of this meeting."

"Today, I've called everyone here from so far away just to get this done."

"Based on the year-end summary meeting, our current troop structure is insufficient to meet the requirements of large-scale operations, so our brigade headquarters has been discussing troop reorganization since the beginning of the year."

"Based on the personnel reports from various units, our entire brigade's combat forces exceed 2, and it's time to reform the unit's organizational structure."

Upon hearing Tang Weiguo's words, everyone sat up straight and listened attentively, as this concerned their future prospects.

"Now, Zhang Haoshan will announce the new troop reorganization plan."

"Yes, Brigade Commander," Zhang Haoshan said, standing up at this moment.

"Based on the current combat personnel of the brigade, it would actually be more appropriate to call our brigade an army."

"In order to meet the needs of large-scale operations in the future, we have added brigade-level units this time."

"Now I will announce the specific troop organization."

"In this military reform, our independent brigade has been transformed into an independent division, with three operational brigade headquarters under it, and each brigade has a staff department."

"Each brigade consists of three combat regiments, one Type 92 infantry artillery battalion, one air defense battalion, one engineer battalion, one supply battalion, plus a field hospital and a communications company."

"The division's directly subordinate reconnaissance regiment, air defense regiment, artillery regiment, engineer regiment, and supply regiment."

"Each brigade is internally referred to as the New First Brigade, the New Second Brigade, and the New Third Brigade."

"The three regiments are referred to as the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the New Third Regiment."

"Based on Tang Xiaohu's reinforced regiment, it was expanded into the new First Brigade, with Tang Xiaohu serving as the brigade commander."

The new First Brigade is stationed in Lingshui County.

"Niu Dazhuang's First Regiment and Liu Hao's Support Regiment were merged to form the New Second Brigade. Niu Dazhuang served as the brigade commander of the New Second Brigade, and Liu Hao served as the deputy brigade commander. The troops were stationed in the Qingshan County area."

"Li Debao and Zhou Liansheng, your two teams will be merged into the new Third Brigade, with Li Debao serving as the brigade commander and Zhou Liansheng serving as the deputy brigade commander. The troops will be stationed in the Yixiantian area on the south side of Wolong Mountain."

"In addition, Cao Yingjie's guard regiment was expanded into a guard brigade, with me as the brigade commander and Cao Yingjie as the deputy brigade commander. They took over the daily security work of the base area from the new first, second and third brigades and were responsible for the security work of the entire base area."

"The newly formed First, Second, and Third Brigades, stripped of their guard duties, are now pure field units, ready to undertake the important task of being ready for combat operations at any time."

"Specific reorganization details will be guided by the General Staff meeting."

"Does anyone here have any different opinions on this adaptation?" Tang Weiguo asked.

"No."

"Alright, now please have the commanding officers of each unit receive the flag," Tang Weiguo said.

"Tang Xiaohu".

"arrive."

After speaking, Tang Xiaohu stepped onto the stage.

Tang Weiguo took the brigade flag handed to him by Zhang Haoshan. The flag was embroidered with the name of Shinichi in gold thread.

"We cannot reveal our strength now. We will wait until we are stronger before we embroider our new troupe."

"Yes, Commander."

"From now on, the new brigade will be in your hands. You must make a name for yourself."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

"it is good."

Next, Tang Weiguo distributed the flags of the new second, new third, and guard units to the officers of each unit in turn.

"Now that the military reform plan has been released, the next step is for everyone to familiarize themselves with the new military organization within a month, and the combat effectiveness of the troops must be higher than before."

"Can everyone do it?"

"Ah."

"In addition, each unit under the division has assigned personnel to assist each brigade in establishing specialized artillery battalions, air defense battalions, engineer battalions, and supply battalions."

"Yes," the other unit commanders replied, standing up one after another.

"The division staff assisted each brigade in its formation."

"Dean Chu, we still need your help in setting up field hospitals for each brigade by sending professional medical personnel."

"Yes, Commander."

A beautiful figure stood up.

After such a long period of military life, Chu Yu has become even more heroic and spirited.

In addition, Chu Yu was exceptionally beautiful, possessed superb medical skills, and was approachable, so the title of "Goddess of Wolong Mountain" spread among the soldiers. Coupled with rumors of her relationship with the brigade commander, everyone became even more curious.

At this moment, some of the bolder individuals among the seated crowd, such as Tang Xiaohu, were glancing back and forth at the two people.

"Ahem." Zhang Haoshan coughed a few times to remind everyone not to go too far.

Tang Weiguo, of course, realized Tang Xiaohu's thoughts and spoke up.

"Everyone, behave yourselves and let me continue."

"Bi Shoucai, your logistics department should ensure that all kinds of weapons and equipment needed for this troop reorganization are in place," Tang Weiguo continued.

"Yes."

"The communications department assisted each brigade in establishing its own communications company."

"Yes."

"This reform is crucial for our independent brigade, or even for the independent division."

"Everyone here is a backbone member of the Independent Division. This time, we must work together and do our best to complete this military reform."

"Yes," everyone said in unison.

"Meeting adjourned."

With the release of the new reform plan for independent travel agencies, the entire Wolong Mountain area has become lively again.
