Chapter 161: Reorganization

The defeated soldiers are still those defeated soldiers, the dangerous environment has not changed, the only thing that has changed is Yang Ling's identity, the temporary position of battalion commander, Yang Ling feels that he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, became the shopkeeper in the name of recuperating from the wounded, and Yang Ling asked him to discuss the retreat route and the reorganization of the defeated soldiers, and he always said the same thing: You can look at the arrangement yourself.

It is not so much that Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, trusts Yang Ling, the new battalion commander, but that he is testing his ability, and Yang Ling knows it.

However, Yang Ling is not a person who drags mud and water, since Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, took the initiative to give him power, there is no need for him to twist and pinch it, after all, their current situation is still difficult, and they will be eaten by the devil soldiers if they are not careful.

The so-called three fires for new officials to take office, and the first fire that Yang Ling lit after temporarily acting as battalion commander was the reorganization of the defeated soldiers, who were both from the Central Army and from various provinces, with different numbers and different thoughts.

More than 400 defeated soldiers temporarily gathered together to report to the group for warmth because of the persecution of the devils, although they were nominally temporarily under the command of Yang Ling, but in fact the interior was divided, and more than 400 people set up more than 10 small hills, and they did not like each other.

The internal problems of the defeated soldiers are also the internal problems of the Chinese army in this era, and the armies of various provinces used to inevitably fight when they met, and they stopped fighting for more than 10 years, but now although they are rushing to the battlefield to fight devils with the same hatred of the enemy, although they will not fight each other when they meet as before, they cannot be said to be united.

Yang Ling always believes that an army with combat effectiveness is bound to be united, cohesive, the so-called brothers work together, its profits and gold, as long as everyone can work together to twist into a rope, then it will also burst out of strong combat effectiveness.

Yang Ling led the defeated soldiers to win the battle, their morale was restored, and they were able to unite around him to continue fighting, but if the situation was unfavorable and the battle was lost, this uncohesive army would definitely fall apart immediately, which Yang Ling did not want to see, so he wanted to break the hill between them, and let them know each other and unite through reorganization.

Although disrupting the organization will temporarily reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops, because unfamiliar companies and unfamiliar comrades-in-arms need time to get acquainted with and run in, in the long run, it is beneficial and harmless to disrupt the original hill and reorganize it.

More than 400 people were disorganized and reorganized into five companies by Yang Ling, among which the thoughtful Wu Jiang selected brothers with better marksmanship to form a sharpshooter company, although the number was the smallest among the five companies, but their accurate marksmanship also ensured that their combat effectiveness was higher than that of the other four companies, and belonged to a trump card held by Yang Ling.

Liu Yidao is good at wielding knives, so most of his company are brothers with better physical fitness, and they will become the main force in white-knuckle warfare in the future.

The other three companies are all ordinary companies, Yang Ling did not deliberately split them in order to balance the combat effectiveness, and Li Tiezhu, Yang Dashu and Qin Shou served as company commanders.

In addition to the five dissatisfied companies, Yang Ling also had a cavalry squad of more than ten people, who annihilated a cavalry team of devils and captured a lot of horses in the process of rescuing the health team.

According to Yang Ling's idea, a cavalry company with strong mobility was formed, but the number of people who could ride horses was too small, and the cavalry company of more than ten people really had no combat effectiveness, so they simply organized these more than ten cavalry into a battlefield cavalry squad to be responsible for the reconnaissance of the enemy's situation.

The remaining horses were used to transport the wounded and captured supplies, which were a bit overkill, but not wasted.

Although Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, was the supreme commander of this rout, he always stayed with the wounded soldiers, and remained silent about Yang Ling, the battalion commander's drastic temporary reorganization, and was a bystander, but in his heart he was very happy, and this time he picked up the treasure.

Many platoon commanders in the Chinese army do not know a single word and only have rich combat experience, but in the First World War in Shanghai, these experienced company and platoon commanders died one after another, and the new company and platoon commanders were all veterans promoted in the line of fire and had no command experience at all.

Yang Ling not only has rich combat experience, but also can read and break words, and the current reorganization has made Liu Ming see that Yang Ling has command and management ability, which makes Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, happy in his heart, as long as he is trained a little, he will have a capable assistant.

"Everyone hurry up and pack up, and we'll leave in ten minutes." After Yang Ling spent half an hour reorganizing, he waved his hand to disband them, and he went straight to Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment.

Because of the relationship of time, the familiarity and run-in between them can only be carried out on the road.

"Deputy regiment, you see that there is no problem with this reorganization, right?" Although Liu Ming's power was delegated to his own battalion commander's head, Yang Ling still had some apprehension in his heart, in case this regiment deputy did not approve, everything would be in vain.

Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, is happy now, he picked up such a talent, and he would pick thorns there before he could praise him, and said with a smile: "Okay, very good, I really didn't mistake you, just do it according to what you said, let go of your hands and feet, if anyone is not convinced, you let him come to me."

Hearing the words of Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, Yang Ling finally put his mind at ease, with the strong support of Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, he didn't have to shrink back from doing things, I have to say that this is a blessing.

After Liu Ming praised Yang Ling, he quickly shifted the topic to their current situation: "Yang Ling, do you have any ideas about where we should go next?"

Yang Ling had already thought about this matter, he took out the crumpled map from his arms and spread it on the ground, and Liu Ming also leaned his head over.

"According to what we know so far, the eleventh, thirteenth, ninth and sixteenth divisions of the devil have attacked our Changshu, Suzhou, and Wuxi lines, and the large army has retreated, and our remnants will definitely not be able to hold it, and the only thing we can hope for now is the Jiangyin line in Changzhou, where there are still national fortifications, and many of our troops, let's go over there and have a round with them first."

Liu Ming's face became extremely solemn after hearing Yang Ling's words, the strength of the devil soldiers is too strong, just one squadron is enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention that now there are so many divisions and regiments sweeping forward, that mighty is really a torrent of steel, they are really not enough to see this point, and even whether the Changzhou Jiangyin line can be held is also a problem.

Yang Ling is also helpless, although he is full of enthusiasm for defending the country, but the devil soldiers are strong, and they will be wiped out if they can't even make a splash against the devils, let alone block the offensive pace of the devil soldiers.

The only thing that can be done now is to gather more defeated troops along the way, strengthen your own strength, and then cooperate with the main force to fight, in the face of the mighty devil soldiers, any single fight is an unrealistic fantasy, and it will only increase casualties.

"Okay, just do as you say, let's go directly to Changzhou bypassing Wuxi." Liu Ming also felt the helplessness of insufficient strength, nodded and agreed to Yang Ling's plan, not that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but that he could only die in vain if he stayed here.

Yang Ling folded the map back into his pocket, and reminded him: "It is more than 100 miles from here to Changzhou, and there are many devil soldiers on the road, so I am afraid that we must be ready to fight at any time."

Liu Ming knew Yang Ling's concerns, smiled and waved his hand and said: "I won't care about the fighting, everything is up to you, after fighting for the past few months, let me be lazy once and enjoy the treatment of the wounded."

Seeing Liu Ming say this, Yang Ling wanted to speak and stopped, but he still nodded and agreed, and turned around to arrange.
