Chapter 870: Make yourself the commander-in-chief
For Liao Fan, these are not embarrassing things, the new 33rd Army has always encountered such and such things from its rise to development, and some things are definitely not smooth! In order to make some things in the new 33rd Army go more smoothly, Liao Fan had to organize people to do some embarrassing things!
Moreover, in the future, it is not clear what will happen between China and the Soviet Union, don't look at the current relations are not bad, once there is a dispute over interests in the future, the two countries will inevitably fight! Liao Fan can be regarded as getting to know his opponent in advance.
"By the way, Brother Fan, the Eighth Route Army has sent a telegram to borrow from us, and they have a division of troops to enter Shandong through our defense area!"
Due to the continuous change of the anti-Japanese situation, there was no need to face the Japanese army in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo region, and the pressure on the Eighth Route Army was much less, and it was also facing the problem of development! Since the last time Vice Chairman Zhou came to Taihang Mountain, the Eighth Route Army has arranged manpower to enter Shandong for development! To be honest, the development is not bad, and the local people have a relatively solid foundation! Now that there is a foundation, the Eighth Route Army began to arrange for troops to enter Shandong, after all, resisting Japan is not someone else's business, and the Eighth Route Army also wants to contribute!
"You can arrange this matter, you don't have to tell me everything, you Li Lingfei can be half of the home of the new 33rd Army!"
Li Lingfei has become Liao Fan's indispensable arm, there are some things Liao Fan doesn't want to waste too much energy, although they are allies and allies with the Eighth Route Army, but these small things, Li Lingfei can still have the final say! Otherwise, Li Lingfei would have no sense of existence in Taihang Mountain.
"I think it's better to ask you about this matter!" Li Lingfei scratched his head, he was always used to reporting everything to Liao Fan!
Liao Fan shook his head and didn't speak! Now that the new 33rd Army has more and more troops, and the troops below are becoming more and more bloated, taking advantage of the fact that there is no large-scale battle now, Liao Fan plans to reorganize the troops! The purpose is to better let the troops have a unified command!
Like Hu Guoshan's division, there are now more than 20 regiments, not including other directly subordinate troops, Hu Guoshan alone with more than 20 regiment commanders, just deploying combat orders, let Hu Guoshan waste more time! If the troops are reorganized in a unified manner, they can make the troops more efficient!
Since the army is going to be reformed, Liao Fan of course has to ask the opinions of several division commanders! However, the artillery division and the special operations division do not need to be reorganized for the time being, after all, their number is still maintained at about 10,000 people, and for Liao Jundong and Huang Changsheng, commanding these troops is not a problem! The most important thing is that Liao Fan promised Chu Pengtian before going to Chongqing that he would reassign them to the New 33rd Army.
Liao Fan has been busy with various things since he returned to Taihang Mountain, and he can't convey this order to the troops in time, just taking advantage of this troop reorganization, giving Chu Pengtian their official identity, and they can also divide the defense area of each unit, clarify the specific tasks of each unit, and make it clear who is responsible if something goes wrong!
"Signal soldiers, let the division commanders explain the matter at hand and go back to the headquarters for a meeting!"
Since the reform is to be implemented, it is natural to communicate with the division commanders, otherwise who knows how much private work they have hidden under their hands, just like Hu Guoshan, maybe as soon as he reorganizes his hands, he will have an extra army of troops!
Due to the difference in the distance of the four divisions, it will take a day to reach the farthest from the headquarters! Therefore, Liao Fan can plan the reorganization of the troops in this day's time!
Because of the reference example, the reorganization of the troops is not a very difficult thing for Liao Fan, and it can also be said to be a very simple thing, as long as the officers below carry out the orders thoroughly, the reorganization of the troops will be very smooth!
The next day, several division commanders gathered together, if you count according to the position of the division commander, only Ma Wanzhong and Chu Pengtian are missing! Ma Wanzhong entered the northeast, that is, the hinterland of the little devil, and there was no way to come back, and Chu Pengtian was indeed far away in the southern Henan region, and Chu Pengtian was inseparable from there!
"Okay, everything that should come is here, and everything else can't come! This time I called you over to talk about the reorganization of the troops, you have heavy troops in your hands, if you don't reorganize the troops, I don't know how many troops you have in your hands! ”
The speed of development of the new 33rd Army has exceeded Liao Fan's imagination, and it is really as Liao Fan said, he no longer knows how many people there are in his troops! If there is a battle in the future, the commander will not be able to rationally use the combat effectiveness of the troops, which will cause a waste of troop resources!
"Brother Fan, you can just give the order directly, you don't need to discuss with us! We all listen to you! Hu Guoshan said.
"Nonsense! My orders have been given to you as thoroughly as you can, and can the officers below carry out thoroughly? Usually, your old Hu hides it, and the officers below you have learned it for you, concealing the specific number of troops, I'm afraid you Lao Hu doesn't know how many people you have in your division! ”
Liao Fan is telling the truth, Hu Guoshan's division is the most serious division! Originally, Hu Guoshan was around Liao Fan when he was the battalion commander and regiment commander, even if Hu Guoshan was hiding, Liao Fan could still see how many people were coming at a glance! But now the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the number is too large, Hu Guoshan himself does not know how many soldiers he has hidden.
Hu Guoshan smiled awkwardly, in fact, he really didn't know how many people there were in his army now! The officers of the troops below didn't learn it, so they learned to hide it, and they hid a copy of everything for themselves!
"The reason why I discussed with you this time is that I want to hear your suggestions, and if you have any good suggestions, just put them forward!"
The army is the property of the state, Liao Fan can't do a word, the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, Liao Fan is really not as good as Zhuge Liang, but these division commanders of the New 33rd Army are also outstanding soldiers.
"I also think that our troops need to be reorganized, the grassroots are too bloated, and the top level is too lacking, so it is easy to lose the tail! In the future, the efficiency of the troops on the battlefield will be reduced, and in the end, the combat effectiveness of our troops will be affected! "Cun Qi supports Liao Fan's opinion!
"Look at it, Master Cun is worthy of being born in a professional class, much better than you people!"
With the support of Cun Qi, Liao Fan is really happy, usually every time there is a meeting, several division commanders are noisy, basically unable to come up with substantive opinions, and in the end it can only be decided by Liao Fan! Now that he has Cun Qi, he can at least give him some reasonable advice, and there is no need for Liao Fan to be tense all the time, everything is up to him! Although Liao Fan is a military commander, he looks more like a nurse and a part-time nanny of the New 33rd Army!
"Brother Fan, I don't have a good opinion either, it's just that I've read books for a few days before!"
"Then I'll talk about my thoughts first! Three-three preparation, I think it is the most reasonable preparation! What is the three-three compilation? That is, there are three regular combat units in the army, and there is no longer a brigade level under the division commander, and in addition to the special troops, there are three regular combat regiments under a division, and of course they must also be attached to the guard company, reconnaissance company, special service company, and other units! ”
"Huh? Brother Fan, according to this meaning, we now have a division of nearly 100,000 troops, and after reorganization, will there be eight or nine thousand people left! Liu Chundao thought to himself, isn't this disarmament? At a time when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was not over, disarmament was not a wise choice!
"You don't have to worry about this, there will still be as many troops in your hands as there are!" Liao Fan will not be disarmed at this time, choosing disarmament at this time is undoubtedly digging his own grave, Liao Fan will not do such a stupid thing, "The reorganization of the troops, your position will also be promoted accordingly, the purpose is to ensure that those troops in your hands have a more reasonable establishment!" ”
Now Liao Fan no longer obeys orders in Chongqing, he can organize several armies if he wants to, and he doesn't have to worry about whether he has a number or not!
"Brother Fan, then according to what you mean, I will be a military commander in the future?" Hu Guoshan said with a grin.
"Hmm...... Not a corps commander, it's a group army commander! Lao Hu, your division now has nearly 100,000 troops! Your division can be reorganized into two armies, and the rest of the troops can be directly under the command of your Lao Hu, or under the command of the military headquarters below, it depends on your Lao Hu's own ideas! ”
"Hey, hey, that means that from today onwards, my old Hu is also a commander!"
"That's right! You can also say the same, but the premise is that you have to do a good job in the reorganization of your troops, if you don't do it well, I still have the same old saying, you should go home to hug the child and hold the child, you should go home to farm the land, if something goes wrong, don't blame me Liao Fan turned his face and didn't recognize people! ”
"Brother Fan, then our troops must also have a number, right?" Li Weimin said.
"Hmm...... Of course, the problem of numbering is easy to solve, and we still have to continue to use the number of the new 33rd Army, and the general name will be changed to the new 33rd Military Region! Under the jurisdiction of Hu Guoshan's First Group Army, the First Group has two armies, as for the appointment of directly governed troops and officers at all levels, I will wait for your report from Lao Hu! ”
In the end, Liao Fan reorganized the troops, the first group army was Lao Hu's troops, the second group army was Cunqi's troops, the third group army was Li Weimin's troops, and the fourth group army was Liu Chundao's troops! Lu Liming's armored division was reorganized into the armored corps or directly under the command of Liao Fan!
"At the same time, Ma Wanzhong, who was not present, if he develops in the northeast in the future, his troops will be the Fifth Group Army, and Chu Pengtian, who is far away in southern Henan, his troops will become an army of their own, and they will also be under the unified command of the command!"
Liao Fan announced the appointment one by one! From the time the order was issued, Liao Fan was no longer the commander of the army, but the commander-in-chief of the new 33rd Army Military Region! The issue of the reorganization of the units was completed by the newly appointed commander of the group army within half a month, and then reported to Liao Fan for approval! Half a month later, Liao Fan will arrange an inspection team to check the reorganization of the troops, and if there is any unqualified, the establishment will be revoked!
