"Comrades, after more than a month of rest and training, our battalion has further improved its tactical qualities, the training of the new liberation fighters has basically been put in place, and the problems of clothing and radio stations have been solved, and now it can be said that the conditions are basically ripe.

Everyone here knows that the order of our column has been down a long time ago, but because the battalion commander and I believe that it is not appropriate to announce it prematurely when the conditions are not ripe, we have not said it, and now the battalion commander and I have decided that our battalion will be officially expanded to a regiment from today, and I will now ask the battalion commander to announce the order of the superiors. ”

As soon as Wang Chengde's words were finished, these veterans shouted excitedly, more than seven months have passed since the establishment of the special service company to today, and the unit has grown from 26 people at the beginning to more than 3,000 now.

Li Yong was also very excited, when he ran out of the Kuomintang field hospital, he didn't expect to become the regiment commander so soon, the idea at that time was very simple, just find his own troops.

Li Yong, who coughed a little, said: "Comrades, be quiet, now I announce the order that the special service battalion of the 4th Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Column of the former Northwest Field Army will be officially expanded into an independent regiment of the 2nd Column from today, with regiment commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde.

Based on the old platoon, 230 people were added to the first infantry battalion of the independent regiment, the battalion commander Li Jiangguo, the instructor was served by the former deputy battalion commander, there was no company establishment below the battalion, and the whole battalion was established as nine platoons, because the heavy weapons of the troops should be used in a centralized manner, so the heavy machine gun platoon and mortar platoon of each battalion were formed first, and then supplemented according to the situation after the troops were captured, and the battalion headquarters set up cooking squads, health teams, and police squads, and there was no deputy battalion commander for the time being. Let all the comrades who are good in all aspects serve.

Based on the old second platoon, 230 people were supplemented to form the second infantry battalion, with the battalion commander Ma Quanyou, and the instructor served by the former deputy battalion commander, and the establishment was the same as that of the first battalion.

Based on the old third platoon, 230 people were supplemented to form the third infantry battalion, with Ma Changsheng as the battalion commander and the former deputy battalion commander as the instructor.

Based on the old fourth platoon, 230 people were supplemented to form the fourth infantry battalion, with Ning Jinshan as the battalion commander and the former deputy battalion commander as the instructor.

Based on the old fifth platoon, 230 people were supplemented to form the fifth infantry battalion, with the battalion commander Wang Laohu and the instructor served as the former deputy battalion commander.

On the basis of the reconnaissance platoon, 230 people were supplemented to set up a reconnaissance battalion, with the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong and the former deputy battalion commander as the instructor, and in addition, a part of the horses from other battalions was transferred to the reconnaissance battalion, so that each person had one horse, and a part of the shell guns were also transferred to the reconnaissance battalion, and the weapons of the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion were one long and one short.

Based on the heavy machine gun platoon, 230 people were supplemented to establish a heavy machine gun battalion, with the battalion commander Wei Gang and the former deputy battalion commander as the instructor.

Based on the original artillery platoon, 230 people were supplemented to set up an artillery battalion, with the battalion commander Gao Xiang and the former deputy battalion commander as the instructor.

On the basis of the baggage platoon, 230 people were supplemented to set up a baggage battalion, with battalion commander Sun Quanhou and deputy battalion commander He Cuihua, and there were no instructors for the time being.

On the basis of the police communication squad, it was supplemented to 100 people, and the police communication company directly under the regiment was established, the company commander Li Yuming, there was no instructor for the time being, and the police communication company had three platoons, the first platoon of guards was the leader of Sanniu, the second platoon of the guards was the leader of Xiaocheng, and the third platoon of the communication platoon was Li Jia.

On the basis of the original medical team, a company-level medical team directly under the regiment was established, with Hu Xiaolian as the leader, and because of the special nature of the work, the medical team did not replenish personnel for the time being, and the medical personnel captured in the last few battles were supplemented to each battalion, because each battalion also set up a medical team. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yong asked everyone to be quiet and continued to announce: "Because we are an independent regiment directly under the column, we have a certain degree of independence in personnel appointment and dismissal, so I and the political commissar decided that the chief of staff, deputy regiment commander, deputy political commissar, and director of the political department of our regiment will be served by the four operational staff officers of the original battalion headquarters. ”

After Li Yong announced the order, the venue was steaming, and the first battalion commander Li Jiangguo grinned and said: "See, don't look at me as a company commander, but now we are the battalion commander all of a sudden, and the next time I see the brothers of our second regiment, I have to let them see and understand." ”

"You, you are really a dog, you can't hold a few taels of sesame oil in your stomach, you can't sit still as a battalion commander, and if the official is too big, he can't go to heaven." Ma Quanyou, the commander of the second battalion, said while spitting smoke rings.

"Jiang Guo, you have to think more about how to train the troops, most of these more than 300 people are from prisoners, don't just think about stinky showmanship." Wang Laohu, the commander of the fifth battalion, gently gave Li Jiangguo a fist.

Li Yong took advantage of everyone's happiness and continued: "What the tiger said is very right, it is not enough to be happy, and it is not enough to just think about the stinky display like Jiang Guo, from tomorrow the troops will be grinding and training, and in a week I and the political commissar will inspect it."

If there is a problem in which battalion, if it can't be pulled up at a critical time, the political commissar and I will deal with whom, do you understand? Li Jiangguo, don't just think about the stinky show, think more about how to train the troops, our regiment has nine battalions, who is the main battalion is not said with your mouth, whether it is a mule or a horse, we will see you on the battlefield.

Wei Gang's machine gun battalion must have a clear grasp of the performance of the anti-aircraft machine gun, and in the future, each battalion should help Wei Gang pay more attention to it, as long as the materials related to the anti-aircraft machine gun must be collected, all of them are veterans, and everyone has suffered the losses of the enemy's air force, as long as the air defense strength of our regiment reaches a certain level, we will beat him down when his plane comes again.

Gao Xiang: The focus of your battalion's training is on the 12 howitzers, and if there are no shells, you have to train them.

I would like to tell you one more piece of news here: In the future, the dozens of small guns of the artillery battalions will be gradually distributed to the artillery platoons of each infantry battalion, and the artillery platoons of the five infantry battalions still do not have a single small artillery.

The regimental artillery battalion must gradually transition to large-caliber artillery, of course, not yet, because we do not have large-caliber artillery shells, and our twelve cannons can only be furnished at present.

In the northwest, the industrial base of our border region is very weak, and we can only produce some simple bullets and grenades, and we can only carry out some simple repairs to our guns, and most of our weapons and equipment still have to rely on seizures, and our limited heavy weapons must be used as intensively as possible, and there is no way to do so.

Another point is that for a period of time to come, we must make good preparations for the battle against Yulin, think of more ways and ideas, and each battalion must prepare a plan for fighting Yulin, and report to me and the political commissar together a week later. ”
