After Chen Jie's multi-faceted balance, Zuihou announced the formation of Zuihou of the South Manchurian Independent Regiment:

South Manchurian Independent Regiment (1,301 people): Regiment Commander Chen Jie, Deputy Regiment Commander Weng Shiming Guard Company (153 people): Company Commander Ma Chongde Special Battalion (382 people): Battalion Commander Li Bozhou, Deputy Battalion Commander Zheng Zhikuan Cavalry Battalion (382 people): Battalion Commander Zhang Minghan, Deputy Battalion Commander Gong Haichuan Artillery Battalion (382 people): Battalion Commander Gao Jingxiang, Deputy Battalion Commander Pan Xiongfei The troops are composed of: 12 people in a squad, three squads in a platoon = 12 * 3 + 2 = 38 people; Three platoons in a company = 38 * 3 + 2 = 116 people, three companies in a battalion = 116 * 3 + 2 + 32 = 382 people. Because of the special situation and the fact that it was not possible to blatantly light a fire for cooking, each company cancelled the establishment of cooking classes.

All the dry rations for the army were on their own horses. Find a place to camp in Haode and make sure that the enemy will not see the smoke of the cooking, so that you can hunt and make a fire to cook and eat hot food.

This kind of difficult combat environment was specially emphasized by Bai Shujie before Chen Zhuo came. This is also the reason why Bai Shujie stored the canned food and first-aid medicine of the little devil as much as possible in the secret camp after Weishenme snatched the little devil's canned food and first-aid medicine.

If you really want to talk about it, Chen Jie's conditions, compared to the anti-Japanese coalition army, are already in the sky! After all, the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army does not have Bai Shujie's "natural powers", and can know the "past and future" to prepare in advance!

Especially under the ground of Daqingshan, there are tens of thousands of catties of grain and the weapons and equipment of an integrated regiment. However, this matter is only known to the company commander and above of the original task force, and this can only be used as a last resort.

This time, the Donggou Secret Camp and the Xiong Childling Secret Camp have basically been exposed, leaving only three places: Daqing Mountain, the Ancient Tomb Secret Camp, and the Badger Ridge Tibetan Cave. As for Baiyunding on the west side of the Donggou secret camp, there were only a dozen boxes of canned food in it that could be used for emergencies at the most critical time, and there was no storage of weapons, because that place was too small.

The guard company has three combat platoons of 38 men and a communications platoon of 27 men, which are machine gun platoon, artillery platoon, reconnaissance platoon, and communications platoon, which will be responsible for special operations missions in the future.

The other battalions had three combat companies of 114 men and a 32-man guard platoon, including two telegraph operators, and a portable radio station equipped with imps. In order to meet the needs of future development, all battalions, companies, and platoons have implemented the system of principal and deputy officers.

Main equipment: The artillery battalion now has a total of 12 92 infantry guns, and two 92 infantry artillery companies have been formed; In addition, 9 mortars were equipped, and a mortar company was formed. In addition, each platoon was armed with 6 crooked light machine guns, and the battalion was equipped with 63 crooked light machine guns (9 for the guard platoon).

The equipment of the special battalion and the cavalry battalion are the same, the combat mission is different. Each platoon was armed with 9 crooked light machine guns, and the battalion was 90 (9 for the guard platoon); Each platoon was equipped with 3 grenadiers and 3 mortars, for a total of 27 grenadiers and 27 mortars in the battalion.

The South Manchurian Independent Regiment adhered to the tradition of the Rehe Front, all of which were infantry on horseback, and all the surplus pack horses were handed over to the artillery battalion to consign infantry guns and shells. They all look like cavalry, but they carry out different combat missions. This question is only clear to one's own people, and outsiders must be inexplicable.

Of course, in order to enable this unit to complete the transformation as soon as possible, the original squad and platoon leaders and deputy positions of the task force have now all been regularized, forming the grass-roots command organs of the three battalions.

Who do the troops listen to? Listen to your own commander. Now the platoon commanders and squad leaders of each battalion are all from the original contingent, so this unit has completely belonged to the Rehe Front.

A new mixed force, even if it turns out to be all soldiers, will not immediately form a combat effectiveness. It is also necessary to go through a large number of actual combat drills, and then slowly complete the tactical run-in and the close cooperation between the members of the various combat groups in the battle.

The South Manchurian Independent Battalion is located in the middle of Fengtian, Fushun, Liaoyang and Benxi, does Chen Jie have a chance to carry out large-scale military training? Some!

Seven days have passed since the reorganization of the new unit was completed and the commanders of the units at all levels basically understood their subordinates.

At half past six o'clock in the afternoon of the eighth day, Chen Jie finally issued the first order: "After finishing the formation and running-in of the troops as soon as possible, order the cavalry battalion to go out covertly and conduct tactical reconnaissance on the Liaoyang line; The artillery battalion immediately launched reconnaissance along the Benxi line, and the special battalion went straight to Jinzhou to carry out reconnaissance. The guard company was responsible for conducting reconnaissance of the enemy situation in Fushun and Mukden. The tactical reconnaissance process took half a month. ”

At eight o'clock that night, all the troops had already left the Donggou secret camp, leaving Chen Jie and a 27-man communications platoon, but Chen Jie was not worried about his safety. Seeing the communications platoon commander fiddling with the radio, but obviously absent-minded, Chen Jie said with a smile:

"Back then, Boss, uh, was your commander-in-chief, and when he started an incident in this area, there were only nine people, two shell guns and a sword. If you really want to count it, there is also a "don't handle" that Zhang Xiang got with only three bullets and can't hit, plus Zhang Yan's shotgun, it seems that there is no gunpowder yet. ”

Even so, the boss has developed to today's scale and has become the overlord of the powerful side with more than 100,000 soldiers in his hands. Let the little devil worry all day long, and he can't be afraid all day long. We still have 28 people today, which is more than three times as many as the boss had back then. And we also have 4 machine guns, 9 submachine guns, what are you afraid of? ”

Although Situ Xiong, the communications platoon commander, is a 19-year-old young man, he is usually very shy, like a big girl. He is a high school student from Beiping, first participated in Yang Erya's underground biedong team, and once participated in the "bloody Tianjin Japanese Concession".

Situ Xiong showed great bravery in the battle of Tianjin and was sent to Qin Yuefang. Later, after key training, he became the backbone of the Confidential Department of the General Headquarters, and he was a guy that Xiao Lamei and Wang Xinlan valued very much. This time, he led 12 operators into the task force to assist Chen Jie in his work.

Because Bai Shujie strictly ordered that Situ Xiong should not be arranged to enter the front-line position, Situ Xiong did not go to the battlefield, no, it means that he did not participate in direct battles on the battlefield. Chen Jie enlightened him in a relaxed tone.

"The deputy division commander is too worried, it's not that I'm worried about my own safety." Situ Xiong shook his head slightly: "I know that the task force came out this time and shouldered an important mission. And you are the backbone of this army, so I am worried about your safety. There are four telegraph operators in our communications platoon, and only 23 of them are really capable of undertaking combat missions. ”

"If I say it's okay, then it's going to be fine!" Chen Jie said with a smile: "Even if the little devil surrounds this place, and even enters the valley in front, we will still be fine!" You can take care of the radio, which is our most important weapon. The four troops that go out need you to listen to their telegrams at all times, so that we can control the overall situation. ”

Chen Jie stabilized the mood of the communication platoon here, and the four troops that were scattered out had already rushed straight to their target, and it was four days in the blink of an eye.

During this period, all the troops sent a telegram back to report that they were safe, and there were no special circumstances, it seemed that the little devils were sleeping soundly, and they did not see a single ghost. However, at noon on the seventh day, a telegram alerted Chen Jie and immediately forwarded it to Bai Shujie.

It turned out that the three companies of the artillery battalion had placed their own infantry guns in the secret camp, carrying only mortars, crooked machine guns, and short guns on their bodies. Then the troops were divided into three routes to conduct tactical reconnaissance on the Benxi line.

After coming out of the secret camp, the artillery company successively reconnoitred Crooked Mountain, Shiqiaozi, Huolianzhai and Gaotai Town, and the garrison of the little devils was only one or two squads, and they were also the second devils of Korea, so they did not alarm the enemy.

On the evening of the third day, battalion commander Gao Jingxiang and deputy battalion commander Pan Xiongfei discussed and decided to divide the troops into four routes to conduct reconnaissance in the four directions of the entire Benxi, and the three combat companies and one guard platoon would all act separately, and the company commander would be responsible for the specific command. Among them, battalion commander Gao Jinxiang was in charge of the two companies in the southeast, and deputy battalion commander Pan Xiongfei was in charge of the two companies in the west. This is all a normal routine, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Just say that the first point where Gao Jingxiang led the guard platoon and the third company to reconnoiter was the town of Biling just south of the Donggou secret camp!

This place was originally nameless, but because Bai Shujie once led a hoe team and punished 17 scum here, it is particularly famous now.

Especially the two large tombs on the back mountain beam, which are even more famous, and the local people say that the gods often appear here. Therefore, the incense is prosperous and enduring. Whenever there is something difficult, the common people will write it on yellow paper and press it on the grave with a stone!

This allusion will be mentioned in the "Rehe Front Army History Course" for all soldiers who have newly joined the Rehe Front Army. Therefore, when the guard platoon and the third company heard that the first target was the town of Biaoling, they really set off with a pilgrimage mentality.

After all, now the three words "Bai Shujie" are already mythical legends. Now to be able to see for yourself the place where the commander-in-chief once fought, that is not an opportunity that ordinary people can have.

At about ten o'clock in the evening of the fifth day, Gao Jingxiang led the guard platoon and the third company to finally rush to the holy place in his mind -- the periphery of Biaoling Town.

It's a different story here!

It turned out that in the few towns that were reconnoitred, the enemy's garrison was only a dozen or twenty. Unexpectedly, in this small remote town, there was a team of more than 60 people. Moreover, at the two exits to the west and east of the town, barricades were set up, and there were crooked machine guns on duty. Look at this jiashi, that's what it means to be like a great enemy.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

The sudden change in the hostile situation naturally attracted Gao Jinxiang's attention. In order to further understand the reason, he took the soldiers around to the back mountain, that is, the place where Zhongbai Shujie said that he "cut off the living" and "executed the corrupt punishment" here.

Not to mention, the legends are all true!

It was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and there was still fire in front of the two large tombs, and Gao Jingxiang could smell the smell of burning incense from a long distance.

"It's so late, there are still people here to kowtow, have the people encountered any difficult problems?"

Gao Jingxiang's heart turned rapidly, and at the same time quietly touched it. Yes, there was an old man kowtowing and muttering to himself.

Gao Jingxiang didn't listen to it, but when he heard the content of the old man's crying, he suddenly became angry in his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
