Rise From Eight Hundred

In the middle of the meeting, Tang Dao did not always act like he was a superior officer.

He took the initiative to take out a pack of Japanese cigarettes from his purse and called to Gu Xishui to pass them out to everyone.

Men are very strange creatures. Tobacco and alcohol, two poisonous things, can bring people closer. This may be the same as women discussing skin care products.

Not to mention these officers who were very familiar with Tang Dao, even the two security regiment commanders who were most unfamiliar with Tang Dao also let go of their original restraint.

The atmosphere was lively.

For example, Gu Xishui learned from the experience and raised the issue of protecting the medical team, which has almost no force value but is an extremely important department.

Nowadays, the Independent Battalion is not an infantry battalion in the ordinary sense.

With a stroke of his pen, Guo Junzuo allocated 7 medical staff and 30 stretcher bearers to them.

Yao Meier's sacrifice during the retreat of the Japanese soldiers that detoured him has become an eternal pain in Gu Xishui's heart. He does not want to see any of the medical soldiers who saved lives and injured fall on the battlefield.

If he hadn't been on the front line, I'm afraid he would have recommended himself to become the platoon leader of the medical team's guard platoon.

But some people are too enthusiastic.

For another example, Lu Sanjiang, who gradually matured on the battlefield, knew that he only had a cavalry platoon, and would never have many opportunities to face off against the Japanese cavalry on the battlefield. It was more used for reconnaissance and rapid rescue, so he proposed to give all the cavalry platoons as much as possible. Cavalrymen are equipped with binoculars.

Telescopes are a rare thing in this era. Not to mention that the Chinese army is basically only equipped by battalion-level officers. Even the Japanese army only has them at the infantry squadron leader level.

But Lu Sanjiang is not just talking nonsense. In this seizure, which can be called a 'robbery', Tang Dao's advance team seized more than 25 intact Japanese telescopes, and some were broken, but even a single The 'monocular' one is easier to use than the naked eye, isn't it?

The Japanese are stingy with their infantry, but they are very generous with their artillery. Almost every artillery squad leader is equipped with a pair of binoculars.

The purpose is of course to hope that the artillery squad leader commanding a heavy artillery can use this thing to see farther and shoot more accurately.

It's just that this is a bit too taken for granted. Artillery has special range-finding mirrors, and the range is as high as several thousand meters. Telescopes that can only see hundreds of meters or even kilometers are useful. In Tang Dao's view, giving one of these artillery squad captains one of these things would probably have far greater pretentiousness than combat effectiveness.

Tang Dao was really right about this.

The cavalry has horses and sabers, the infantry has guns and bayonets, but what does artillery have? Aren't artillerymen just carrying a bastard box on their waists?

As a highly valuable high-tech branch of the army, Japanese artillery officers at all levels, in order to show their prestige, finally settled on expensive telescopes.

He carried a box cannon on his waist, put on white gloves, and hung a telescope around his neck that only an infantry captain was qualified to wear. 13 The smell was so strong that it could be smelled miles away, right?

This is the same feeling as driving a luxury car and wearing a pair of sunglasses no matter how bright the sun is or even if it is night.

To put it bluntly, that’s the taste.

Within a few days, the 6th Artillery Brigade commander who was equipped with 13 troops was completely wiped out by Tang Dao and the advance group, and more than 20 expensive telescopes became trophies.

Tang Dao sent rifles, pistols, machine guns, machine guns, and all kinds of ammunition to the brother troops who left, but he did not send binoculars.

It’s not that he is stingy, but he knows that binoculars are no better than guns and bullets, and giving them away is useless. Only the chief officers of each division, brigade, regiment, and battalion are equipped with this thing. You, a company commander, can still hang a telescope in front of the officers. Are you embarrassed in front of me?

It didn't take more than two days, and it was probably taken back by the division headquarters and given to high-level officers for use, so it would be better to keep it for yourself.

Tang Dao has already thought about it. All officers above the rank of captain in the independent battalion will be assigned one to each person. There are also some special units, and they will also be assigned as much as possible.

Of course, this includes some extremely excellent precision shooters, as well as cavalrymen like Lu Sanjiang who are positioned for battlefield reconnaissance.

It's just that Lu Sanjiang's appetite is so big that it's surprising that he eats ten things every time he opens his mouth.

Tang Dao hasn't even expressed his position yet, and all the officers have their mouths curled up, "Hey, the cavalry is more awesome, but we infantry are not worthy of it, right?"

"If you don't have ten, you can give me five." Lu Sanjiang followed Tang Dao on sneak attacks for several nights. He didn't learn much else, but he learned enough about the attitude of 'asking for a high price and paying back on the spot'.

"Get out of here! What I'm talking about now is the reorganization of the independent battalion. What are you talking about with me about equipment distribution?" Tang Dao slapped the table angrily.

"Besides, you are so sure that you are still the cavalry platoon leader? I want to set up a baggage company, and you, melon, happen to know how to raise horses. I think it is very suitable to be the deputy company commander of the baggage company. In order to make it easier for you to find Ma, I will definitely give you a telescope.”

At this moment, Tang Dao has completely integrated into this era, and his tone of voice is becoming more and more like a leader of this era.

"Sir! I was wrong!" Lu Sanjiang instantly became a good boy.

If it were anyone else, Lu Sanjiang might still dare to be stubborn, but Tang Dao, ever since he saw Tang Dao kill the Japanese cavalry major who cut off the veteran squad leader with his own eyes, he swore not to go against Tang Dao.

Not fear, but gratitude!

Just like when I heard that he and a cavalry platoon were ordered to be transferred to Tang Dao's command, although he was a little confused, he was more of a surprise. That was the commander he was most willing to follow in his life.

Perhaps, in his subconscious, only a strong man like Tang Dao can avenge his brother!

Killing the Japanese is as quick and neat as his sword.

Seeing that Lv Sanjiang had stopped, Tang Dao stopped the discussion and let the officers express their opinions. Tang Dao expressed his respect for them, but it did not mean that they would affect his decision.

In fact, he had discussed the real opinions with Lei Xiong, Guo, and Zhuang last night, and had a rough plan.

Originally, according to the ideas of Lei Xiong and the other three, there was no need to let everyone raise any opinions, just announce it directly. Military orders are like mountains, who dares to oppose it?

These three people are from the old army, of course, they don’t know that there is a "democratic centralism" in the world. Letting everyone express their ideas is democracy, and letting Tang Dao make decisions is naturally centralized.

This decision, even if it does not achieve the goals of some of them, allows them to express their ideas first, so that they don’t feel that they are not valued.

Just like the two company commanders of the security regiment, although they were a little timid, they finally expressed their own ideas when everyone expressed their opinions. Even if they were reorganized according to Deputy Battalion Commander Guo, they could at least say to the grassroots officers of the security regiment that I fought for you, but I had to let you down for the reorganization.

This is the difference between the new army and the old army. It may not be so straightforward, but the seeds of unity have been planted imperceptibly.

More importantly, Tang Dao wants them to get used to this way, so as not to be uncomfortable when they go to that place.

Everyone needs to feel respected. At least now, the atmosphere of the first military meeting of the independent battalion is pretty good.

"I know everyone's opinions. I have already drafted the basic structure of the independent battalion. I declare!" Tang Dao, who had been writing in his notebook for a while, stood up slowly.

"Swish!" All officers stood up.

Waiting for Tang Dao's decision with bated breath will affect the interests of everyone present.

"The independent battalion will establish 4 infantry companies, artillery companies, air defense and fire support companies, logistics companies, and special forces companies, a total of 8 company-level units. Among them, the infantry company has three infantry platoons, the artillery company has three artillery platoons, the air defense and fire support company has three fire platoons, the logistics company has three logistics platoons, and the special forces company has cavalry platoons, guard platoons, communications platoons, and medical platoons. Each company-level unit has about 150 personnel. In addition, a special operations team will be established, and the team will be organized at the deputy company level!" Tang Dao finished reading and looked at everyone.

"Do you have any opinions on this organization?"

This time it is even more unlikely that someone will jump out to object.

The previous superiors have respected them and let them express their opinions. Now that the superiors have made a decision, wouldn't it be against the superiors to express their opinions again?

Besides, there are many positions for the establishment of 8 company-level units and one deputy company-level unit. What they are most concerned about now is who is in these positions, not which troops have been established.

"No objection, then I will announce the independence of the battalion commanders first, but this is not a decision made by me, Tang Dao, but by the Jiashan Front Command." Tang Dao nodded and shouted softly: "Order from Commander-in-Chief Wu of the Jiashan Front Command!"
