Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Just when everyone could no longer suppress their inner anxiety, Lin Tian finally smiled and said slowly: "There is no need to guess anymore. The position of the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment must go to Zhou Weiguo!" His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

It was as if time had frozen at this moment. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Weiguo, and everyone looked surprised.

But everyone knows that the commander thinks highly of this new young man.

It seemed as if he had known from the beginning that this young man was extraordinary.

Everyone has always resolutely obeyed the commander's arrangements, and this time is no exception.

After a few seconds of silence, warm applause broke out. Everyone was congratulating Zhou Weiguo and no one felt dissatisfied.

This is the cohesion of the first division under the leadership of Lin Tian.

But Zhou Weiguo couldn't sit still.

He stood up suddenly.

"Commander, I... I don't want to receive any reward without any merit. The position of regiment commander is too important."

"I'm new here, this... Weiguo is terrified..."

Zhou Weiguo waved his hands quickly and said nervously.

"Weiguo, please sit down first. I must have my reasons for letting you be the head of this group."

"Don't think that Weiguo is a new soldier."

"Weiguo graduated from the famous Whampoa Military Academy and later went to Germany for further studies. Not only that, he also served as a regiment commander in the Central Army and personally experienced the thrilling Battle of Shanghai."

"A man with such a brilliant resume must have extraordinary military accomplishments and command capabilities. I even think it's a bit of a waste of talent to let him take on the position of regiment leader."

"Also, Weiguo, don't underestimate yourself. I know your true abilities very well."

"Once this anti-raid battle is successfully concluded, you can start preparing to create our own special forces."

"I have very high expectations for you. This position as the head of the Second Infantry Regiment is just the beginning of your military career. There will be endless possibilities waiting for you in the future.

Lin Tian looked around, stared at Zhou Weiguo with firm eyes, and spoke earnestly.

"I am truly ashamed to receive the Commander's kindness and respect."

"We will do our best to defend our country..."

Zhou Weiguo saluted Lin Tian and everyone present in a proper manner, and spoke with an excited expression and sharp eyes.

"Haha, Weiguo, with your joining, the devil's life will be even more difficult."

“Our business has taken another step forward.”

Lin Tian said meaningfully.

He then signaled Liu Wu to report on the reorganization of other troops.

Liu Wu stood up, cleared his throat and said:

"It has been decided to upgrade the cavalry company to a reinforced cavalry battalion with a total of 500 people."

"Equipped with 500 war horses, 56 Type 500 semi-automatic rifles, 500 sabers, 150 Czech light machine guns, and 100 PPSh submachine guns."

"The artillery battalion was upgraded to a reinforced artillery battalion with 500 personnel, and each person was equipped with a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

“装备107毫米火箭炮120门，喀秋莎多管火箭炮20门，88毫米高射炮10门，70毫米九二式步兵炮30门。”

"We will also equip 30 light and heavy machine guns of various types to guard the artillery positions. Although there are infantry defending the artillery positions, if the enemy attacks the artillery positions, our artillery reinforcement battalion can also counterattack on the spot, providing an additional layer of protection."

"This will ensure full coverage of short- and long-range artillery fire and the safety of artillery positions."

"The 20 trucks and 300 pack horses we captured from the Japanese were also distributed to the artillery reinforcement battalion to tow artillery and transport ammunition."

"In addition, the original machine gun battalion was upgraded to a reinforced machine gun battalion with 500 personnel."

"Equipped with 60 Maxim heavy machine guns, 200 Czech light machine guns, and 42 MG50 general-purpose machine guns."

"Considering that these machine guns consume too much ammunition, we dare not equip more of them. As for the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Type 92 light machine gun, we decided not to equip them in combat units because they are too heavy and their performance is not outstanding."

"We discussed and decided to use the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Type 92 light machine gun for base area defense and recruit training."

"In addition, the machine gun reinforcement battalion was equipped with 50 pack horses and 10 trucks for transportation."

"The remaining ones are the Sharpshooter Company and the Guard Company. We did not reorganize these two units because the Guard Company is responsible for protecting the commander's safety, and the Sharpshooter Company, as an independent unit, is responsible for training and supplying snipers to the entire army."

"We are stupid and don't know how to make specific arrangements. Please let the commander decide."

Liu Wu read the entire report in one breath, looking at Lin Tian intently, waiting for Lin Tian's arrangements.

"Well, very good. Lao Liu is really a great general. He arranged it very well."

"The commanders of the Cavalry Reinforced Battalion, Artillery Reinforced Battalion, and Machine Gun Reinforced Battalion should be Zhang Laoer, Wang Chengzhu, and Zhao Dahai respectively."

"That's nothing to say."

"As for the Guard Company and the Sharpshooter Company, don't move them for now. I will have other arrangements for them in the future."

"It will be useful when we form a special forces unit later."

Lin Tian thought for a moment and said.

Liu Wu's work was very detailed and thorough, and there was basically nothing that needed to be changed. Lin Tian decided to implement it according to this for the time being.

Zhang Laoer, Wang Chengzhu, and Zhao Dahai also stood up excitedly and saluted, saying, "We will not bring shame to the commander and will kill more devils!"

Lin Tian pressed his hands and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"In addition, our tank company now has a certain combat capability. We can consider letting the tank company participate in the next battle."

"So now let's analyze this great raid by the devils!"

Lin Tian put his hands on the table, murderous intent in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

When everyone heard that the highlight had finally arrived, they held their breath and stared at Lin Tian.

"Comrades, according to the headquarters' intelligence, the Japanese have sent the Japanese 17th Brigade, the 10th Mixed Brigade of the Locust Association Army, the 11th Division, the th Division, and the Japanese th Mixed Brigade from Ping'an County from Yangquan, with a total force of more than ."

"Now many of our Eighth Route Army units have already engaged the Japanese, and suffered heavy casualties."

"In addition, the headquarters specifically said that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has already withdrawn, which is equivalent to selling our Eighth Route Army to the devils."

Having said that, Lin Tian looked at Chu Yunfei who was sitting on his right hand side intentionally or unintentionally.
