Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

The independent division after the last battle.

It has already been approved by Yan'an.

Officially upgraded from the 772nd Independent Regiment to an independent division.

It is also an independent division with 20 regiments.

The intermediate company and brigade level standards have been skipped.

It directly became an independent division from an independent regiment.

It turns out that it has become an independent division now.

Naturally, Zhang Ling would promote his brothers.

First of all, it is based on the standards of the Eighth Route Army.

A regiment is made up of 3 battalions, a brigade is made up of 3 regiments, and a division is made up of 3 brigades.

Of course, this was the standard when the Eighth Route Army did not accept the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

But it's different now.

The damn Chiang Kai-shek is not honest and doesn't play by the rules.

Just give the Eighth Route Army the standard of three divisions.

No extra will be given.

In other words, even if the remaining Eighth Route Army wants to expand, it has to support itself.

But what kind of team is our Eighth Route Army?

What I believe in is just one sentence.

The sky is cruel, the earth is cruel, and you are cruel. You have your father, your mother, and yourself!

You, Chang Kai-shen, have money to treat syphilis, but you have no money to pay the salaries of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

Hesitant and hesitant.

The 18th Group Army had to endure it in order to fight the Japanese.

But the compilation must not stop.

It’s okay, Chang Kaishen, just keep the money to treat syphilis.

The revolutionary army of the Eighteenth Group found ways to pay their own salaries.

Look, the independent division represented by Zhang Ling has risen up on its own.

According to the current number of people in Zhang Ling’s independent division.

His independent division can have almost 6 brigades with two left over.

In fact, there can be exactly 7 brigades.

Because Zhang Ling has a total of 21 battalions, the extra one is an artillery battalion.

The kind with 90 155mm howitzers.

Ok……

The reason why Zhang Ling didn't agree was.

The entire division is keeping an eye on this artillery battalion.

Not to mention the independent divisions, even the boss’s headquarters is keeping an eye on it.

Who doesn't drool all over the floor?

If it weren’t for the fact that this artillery battalion was the wealth accumulated by Zhang Ling himself.

It is estimated that the artillery battalion of the independent division would have been transferred away as soon as the boss gave the order.

In addition, Zhang Ling has also sent 20 155 howitzers to the headquarters so far.

20 155mm howitzers.

Not to mention the Eighth Route Army, even the ugly Chinese people today don’t have it.

This made the boss very happy.

Even the confidence to speak is enough.

In previous battles, Zhang Ling's 155mm howitzer had already proven itself.

Invincible in the world.

Just four simple words.

The range and explosion radius alone are enough to shut up artillerymen all over the world.

If this howitzer were brought to the European battlefield.

If you insist that it can change the situation on the battlefield, then that would be bragging.

Given the horrors of the European battlefields of that era, these 90 155mm howitzers alone would certainly be useless.

But it can definitely give the Europeans a shock with a small 155 howitzer.

After one shot, I'm afraid that the three German mustaches will have to find a way to get the parameters and production drawings of this cannon.

My goodness, with this one shot, at least 1-2 T34s will be scrapped, right?

According to the requirements of the standard.

In fact, a regiment should be equipped with an artillery battalion.

This is the level of a big fry.

Fear of insufficient firepower.

But now the entire independent division only has this one artillery battalion.

My precious baby.

Therefore, Zhang Ling directly turned this artillery battalion into an independent battalion within the independent division.

In other words, accept Zhang Ling's command directly.

Anyway, we will support whichever regiment needs combat.

At the same time, six brigade commanders were promoted.

For this reason, Brigade Commander Chen went to Zhang Ling's independent division headquarters and scolded Zhang Ling.

But in the end, Brigade Commander Chen had no choice but to salute Zhang Ling and say hello, "Division Commander!"

no way.

Mr. Zhang got a promotion.

After the independent division's organization was redistributed.

Li Dazhuang became the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Independent Division.

Xu Erniu is the commander of the 2nd Brigade.

Wu Sanduo is the commander of the 3rd Brigade.

And so on.

6 brigade commanders.

Six new group leaders were appointed.

Today, the entire independent division, including its staff cadres, has a total of 2.5 people.

It can be considered an overstaffed army.

If we follow the original standards.

The 4.5th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army actually had only people in total.

Zhang Ling’s independent division has 2.5 troops.

Zhang Ling would have no problem being a division commander, let alone a corps commander.

After the internal allocation of the independent division is completed.

Zhang Ling also specially held a celebration meeting for the entire division.

Today, the expansion of Heli County has been more than half completed.

Both the independent division's warehouses and military factories were moved to a dedicated core area.

I'm not afraid of the Japanese sneak attack at all.

There are also a large number of anti-aircraft weapons around that Zhang Ling exchanged through the God of War system.

Used to guard against the Japanese Air Force.

Nowadays, the scale of Heli County is equal to that of a fifth-tier city.

It can easily accommodate two million people.

The most important point is that with the development of Heli County.

The surrounding wastelands also began to be included in the scope of Heli County.

Many refugees who fled here were arranged by the county government.

Not only did he settle down in Heli County, he also had his own land.

Gradually, the people's hearts in the entire Heli County were completely stabilized.

More and more people came here because of its reputation.

For a time, the population of Heli County exceeded three million.

This population alone is enough to provide the independent division with a large number of qualified and excellent soldiers.

Zhang Ling also seized this opportunity and frantically expanded his troops.

The independent division was directly expanded to the standard of 3 people.

For the first time in the entire northwest of Shanxi, such an extremely special Eighth Route Army team appeared.

The entire division has 3 people, with a total of 9 brigades including an independent artillery brigade.

There are 10 brigades in total.

According to Zhang Ling's organization, these 10 brigades were actually not fully staffed.

Why isn't it full?

How can we expand if we are full?

You see, with Zhang Ling’s move, 10 brigades came out.

The entire independent division, except for the artillery brigade, is barely fully staffed.

In fact, the other nine brigades are not fully staffed.

Even if the force is expanded to 3, it still won't be enough.

But the independent division was under the management of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters after all.

Therefore, if the independent division is to be fully staffed.

One regiment consists of 1 people, and three regiments make a brigade.

That is 1 people in one brigade.

And the 9 brigades are people.

Since the artillery brigade has 90 cannons, it can be counted as a brigade on its own.

Zhang Ling alone has only 3 people, and these 3 people also include government officials.

In fact, if the cadres in the office are not counted, then Zhang Ling’s independent division has at least 1.2 vacancies.

Now, there are 1.2 more staff.

However, Zhang Ling did not act on his own, but directly sent an application report to the boss.

The boss asked the kitchen staff to prepare some minced pork noodles for him early in the morning.

The pork was delivered by Zhang Ling recently.

But the boss was very greedy.

The Eighth Route Army was in very short supply of supplies.

Who doesn’t want to eat something delicious?

I just took a mouthful of noodles from the bowl.

The intelligence officer came over with a telegram in his hand.

"Boss, this is a telegram from Commander Zhang of the Independent Division."
