Chapter 203 Rapid Response Brigade

"Commander, Commander..." Suddenly, shouts reached the ears of Liu Hua, who was thinking about the problem. Liu Hua raised his head and saw Staff Wang from the division headquarters running towards him in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Liu Hua asked when he saw Staff Officer Wang running up to him.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, let me tell you that the soldiers of the Quick Reaction Brigade have arrived and are now gathering at the training ground in the back mountain. The Chief of Staff is informing you to hurry over." Staff Wang said quickly.

"Coming, so fast, correspondent, come with me to the training ground in the back mountain..." The guard behind Captain Liu Hua shouted loudly, and at the same time, he ran quickly towards the back mountain.

From a distance, Liu Hua saw that the usually empty training ground had already gathered thousands of people. The chief of staff and the political commissar were standing at the door waiting for him. There were also several cadre-looking people reporting next to him.

Based on the situation, I guess it was the group leaders who led the team this time.

"Commander, you are finally here..." Political Commissar Guan Xiangying said deliberately when he saw Liu Hua arriving late.

Liu Hua nodded to his two partners and walked over. He looked at the people in front of him.

"Report to the commander, Shen Qinghua, the former commander of the second regiment of the first brigade of the Independent Division, led the team to report." Shen Qinghua stood up, saluted Liu Hua with a military salute, and said.

Liu Hua nodded and returned a military salute. "Comrade Shen Qinghua, thank you for your hard work."

"Reporting to the commander, Luo Zhihui, former commander of the fourth regiment of the second brigade of the independent division, is here to report."

"Reporting to the Commander, Wang Benqing, the former commander of the Third Brigade of the Independent Division, has come to report..."

"Comrades, you have all worked hard. I have heard your names a long time ago at the headquarters. You are all good at leading troops in war. I didn't expect that the three commanders actually gave away a few yuan of their own tiger generals.

We have been sent. Come, each one of you will report on the status of the troops you brought, including their equipment and the proportion of new recruits." Liu Hua found a place to sit down and said.

"Captain Shen Qinghua, you come first!" Political Commissar Guan Xiangying reminded when the three of them didn't know who would speak first.

"Yes, Commander, Political Commissar. According to the order of the headquarters, this time I brought a reinforced regiment with a total of 2,000 troops, including 500 new recruits. The entire regiment is divided into ten infantry companies and a 60-meter mortar company.

A heavy machine gun company. All weapons and equipment are fully equipped, but..." Shen Qinghua hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

"No matter what, just say whatever you have to say. After the rapid reaction brigade is established, it will be the trump card of our independent division. There must be no problems. If you have anything to say, please say it quickly." The political commissar next to him reminded.

"Yes, Commander, Political Commissar. Since our Independent First Brigade has been using domestic equipment, and these Japanese equipment have been recently seized through various means, our ammunition is very scarce. Now every soldier has

We only have less than half the base amount of ammunition." Shen Qinghua said hesitantly.

"That's a problem. It's okay. When the time comes, you all go to Director Wang of the Logistics Department to collect two bases of ammunition. No matter how poor the army is, it cannot lack the ammunition of the quick reaction brigade." Thanks to the support of the arsenal, at this time

Liu Hua will never worry about ammunition again.

"Thank you, Commander..." Shen Qinghua said excitedly after hearing Liu Hua's answer.

"Comrade Luo Zhihui will report next!" Liu Hua looked at Luo Zhihui next to him.

"Yes, Commander. According to Commander Gao's order, we have removed a large number of elite soldiers and generals to form this regiment. There are 1,600 veterans who have participated in the battle, and 400 new recruits have just been recruited. The organization and What Commander Shen Qinghua just said is exactly the same, so I won’t make a detailed report. The report is over..." After stopping the name of Liu Hua’s store, Luo Zhihui answered simply.

"Yes, he is indeed a straightforward and decisive cadre. The last one is Commander Wang Benqing." Seeing Luo Zhihui speak crisply and neatly, Liu Hua couldn't help but admire and looked at the last person, Wang Benqing.

"Commander, political commissar, according to Commander Wang's order, I have brought a total of 2,000 troops with the same organization as Commander Shen just now. However, because the independent third brigade has just concluded a counter-mopping operation, the losses of veterans are very serious. So this time I only brought 1,200 veterans. However, the commander was worried that too many new recruits would affect the overall combat effectiveness of the unit, so he removed a large number of company and platoon-level cadres to add them. The report is completed." Wang Benqing saluted and replied.

"Well, not bad. I took a look at the soldiers you brought. They are all good. Let's go to the headquarters. Our quick reaction brigade cadres will hold a short meeting to determine the organization of the troops." Liu Hua nodded.

"After a while, several people came to the conference room of the military camp. After everyone was seated, Chief of Staff Li Qing took a document and stood up.

"Comrades, from now on, our quick reaction brigade will be established. As for why the headquarters should establish such a brigade, I think everyone should be very clear, so I won't say more. The following is the troop reorganization order:

Comrade Shen Qinghua, commander of the first regiment of the rapid response brigade, Comrade Luo Zhihui, commander of the second regiment of the rapid response brigade, and Comrade Wang Benqing, commander of the third regiment of the rapid response brigade.

Among them, in order to increase the marching speed of the rapid reaction brigade and embody the four words "quick response" in our rapid reaction brigade, the commander specially requested 12 vehicles from the logistics department to form a vehicle company of the rapid response brigade to ensure that the vehicle company can be used anytime and anywhere. The rapid transport of a battalion of troops."

After listening to the Chief of Staff's words, everyone showed an excited smile. His rapid reaction brigade was actually equipped with a car company. In the future, the mobility of his troops would definitely be improved by several levels, and he would also be able to experience what a mechanized force is. .

"Does everyone understand the chief of staff's order?" Liu Hua asked, looking at the three regiment commanders with excited faces.

"It's clear..." the three people replied in unison.

"Okay, now that it's clear, let me announce the first order of the quick reaction brigade. After the meeting, the three regiments drove to their own camps in accordance with the orders of the staff. Of course, there are no ready-made barracks. All of these require everyone's help. Work hard. In a week, I will take the political commissar and chief of staff to the stations of your three regiments to inspect and require that each company has its own separate barracks and separate training ground. Are there any problems?" Liu Hua asked.

:"No…"

"Okay, second order. From now on, the mission of the rapid reaction brigade is to seize the time to train. All missing equipment and ammunition must be collected from the logistics department. At the same time, from now on, the rapid reaction brigade must have me and the political commissar and staff Commander, only an order signed by two of the three people can leave the barracks and participate in the battle. If there is no order, your task is to train, and you must develop a strong army that is afraid of the Japanese army." Liu Hua's face was filled with excitement. answer.

"Yes, resolutely complete the task..."

The next day, the three main regiments, led by the headquarters staff, arrived at their future campsite. However, what they saw was a large open space that had just been sorted out, without a single house.

"Commander Wang, this is our future military camp. Why is there no barracks?" Shen Qinghua, the newly appointed regiment leader, asked looking at the open space in front of him with confusion.

"Yes, Commander Shen, when I came, the commander explained that building a new military camp was the first task the three main regiments received. The commander asked you to build a new military camp within a week. The military camp, the commander will come to inspect it in person when the time comes. As for all the materials needed to build the military camp, the logistics department will transport it later. The ammunition and food you need will also be transported immediately." The staff officer who led the way quickly replied.

"Well, that's it, I understand. Correspondent: Order each company to set up their own campsite. In an hour, all commanders above the company level will come here for a meeting." Shen Qinghua nodded after listening to the staff officer's words. He ordered to the correspondent behind him.

At this time, the three regiment commanders who knew Commander Liu Hua's order were all lost in thought. You must know that although the three regiments now form a new army, after all, the three regiments come from three different armies, representing Different troops. Therefore, no one is convinced by the other. Everyone is secretly shouting, hoping that they can win in the first round of competition.

Under the pressure of this kind of competition, the three regiment leaders can be said to have exerted all their strength and mobilized all the manpower they could mobilize to participate in the construction of the military camp. Of course, this kind of competition is also what Liu Hua is happy to see. .

Because Liu Hua, who came from a later generation, knew that even if an army is at a high level and has high combat effectiveness, if there are no competitors, it will fall sooner or later. So, an order was once again sent from the headquarters to the hands of the three regiment commanders, who would be the first? After completing your own military camp, the headquarters will reward 5 fat pigs for extra meals for the soldiers.

After receiving tangible material rewards, the soldiers became even more motivated. In less than five days, three military camps were built one after another.

After building their own military camps, the three regiments began intense military training, and the independent division's rapid reaction brigade slowly began to move towards formality.

Of course, the Jinyi base area is constantly developing and growing, and the Japanese army, which has been calm for two consecutive months, is not as quiet as it appears.

After the Japanese Army North China Headquarters received the order from the supreme commander, General Hisachi Terauchi, the staff department drafted a detailed plan for attack, encirclement and suppression operations in the shortest possible time and based on the general's request, and handed it to General Terauchi's hands. The general was very satisfied with the combat plan that the staff had spent several days preparing. He immediately ordered all ministries to secretly implement it.

As a result, the Japanese army throughout North China began to secretly mobilize. Batteries of combat materials were concealed and transported from the Pingjin area to Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang...

Although the actions of the Japanese army were very covert, and although the intelligence system of the independent division had just been established, this slight change still attracted the attention of the intelligence agencies, so pieces of intelligence were transmitted to the headquarters in the base area through radio waves, and were slowly compiled It fell into the hands of Meng Zhongheng, Director of the Intelligence Department.
