After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

Within the headquarters.

Qin Feng, who was sitting in the upper seat, once again scanned the entire room, meeting everyone's gazes in the air one by one. He said in a deep voice, "According to the decision of the brigade, from now on, the 357th and 359th Regiments will be organized into company and platoon units, and all will be dispersed to recruit more troops!"

"I don't care whether you recruit soldiers with money or take in prisoners and puppet troops. I also don't care whether you recruit talented people or attack from all sides."

"Those who are capable can attack the enemy strongholds, and those who are thoughtful can persuade the bandits and puppet troops to surrender. I will prepare enough equipment and supplies for you before you set off. During this expansion process, I will not set any restrictions and give you the greatest autonomy. I just want you to do everything you can to expand the size of my troops!"

"If you have any objections, please raise them right away. If no one says anything, I'll take it as your agreement."

No one in the audience spoke, and it was obvious that they were still digesting Qin Feng's order.

They were originally still wondering why their superiors suddenly took such a big action today, holding a general meeting and asking the division to issue an order to expand into a brigade.

Now it seems that the commander is planning to take advantage of the abundant financial resources they have now to expand the structure and personnel of all his subordinates until the actual scale of their brigade-level combat unit is fully implemented!

I have to say that now is indeed the best time to expand the military. The warehouses are already full of supplies, and the division headquarters has sent another batch of supplies. It would be a waste if we don't expand the military at this good opportunity.

As the head of the 357th Regiment, Yang Song had broader considerations. He immediately looked at Qin Feng and said, "Sir... No, Brigade Commander, since the troops under your command have been dispersed to recruit more, how can we contact these companies and platoons?"

If Yang Song had asked this question before, he would have been worried that these recruits would desert after being disbanded. After all, this situation was not uncommon in the National Army. Without officer supervision, the war-weary recruits could run away at any time.

But now it’s different. He is simply asking Qin Feng how to build a communication system for the company and platoon units.

Qin Feng was well prepared for this problem: "The radio stations seized during the previous breakout and the radio stations used in the battle of Zhengtai Railway are enough for our brigade to communicate. We can completely set up a command center directly under the brigade."

"And next, the command center will uniformly distribute radio stations to cover every battalion-level unit, and the battalion commander will be responsible for contacting the subordinate companies and platoons."

"Gulp!" Someone in the meeting made a swallowing sound.

According to the brigade commander's words, they realized how arrogant their brigade was now. The radio station could send messages whenever it wanted, and the messages were even decentralized to battalion-level units.

If this model continues to develop, wouldn't the expansion area that a battalion is responsible for be able to cover hundreds of miles around?

As long as they are within the coverage of the radio signal, won't the companies and platoons below expand their recruitment like wild horses?

Sitting down below, Wang Chengzhu, whose injury was almost healed, had a look of astonishment on his face. He really didn't expect that the brigade commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would be so bold that even the battalion-level units were equipped with radios to go out and recruit soldiers.

My God, how many troops can’t even get a radio!

Just then, Wang Chengzhu heard his name.

"Wang Chengzhu!"

"Ah...here!" Wang Chengzhu didn't expect that he would be mentioned at this meeting. He was also confused as to why he was called over.

Qin Feng looked at the honest man who stood up in front of him and said decisively: "Now the Japanese are undercurrents, and a new sweep is about to start. Are you willing to bombard the Japanese?"

When Wang Chengzhu heard that the sweep was about to start again, he agreed without a second thought: "I'm willing! Killing more devils means fewer civilians will be killed."

Wang Chengzhu's recuperation during this period was not in vain. For some reason, his recovery was amazing and he was able to get out of bed and move around within a few days.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did not restrict him and allowed him to move around and see what he wanted. Wang Chengzhu witnessed the high spirits under Qin Feng's management and how many Japanese officers they brought back as prisoners of war in one battle.

Now, after learning that the Japanese were about to wield their butcher knives once again towards northwestern Shanxi, Wang Chengzhu felt that he must stand up and contribute his part no matter what.

"Very good." Qin Feng nodded approvingly. "In view of the brigade's need for firepower support, I will now gather the two mountain artillery companies and the batch of Type 92 infantry artillery to form a brigade-affiliated artillery regiment!"

"Although this artillery regiment is not yet fully staffed, its potential cannot be underestimated. I hope that the person who becomes the commander of the artillery regiment can continue to expand the scale of the artillery. The development speed must not be slowed down. We must build a firepower core for the entire brigade and construct a complete artillery support system!"

"Wang Chengzhu! Do you have the confidence to do everything I said?"

Wang Chengzhu was getting more and more excited as he listened, his heart almost jumping out of his chest. He immediately responded loudly: "Report to the brigade commander, we have confidence!"

Trust the people you employ, and don't employ people you don't trust. Qin Feng has carried this behavior to the extreme.

The other people present were also almost unable to contain themselves. Even an outsider could be given such an important task. It was conceivable that the brigade commander was really delegating power this time. Those who were capable could do so without any worries and give full play to their full talents!

Next to him, Sun Debiao, who had just been transferred from a cavalry division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, also had a dazed look on his face.

He also heard that Wang Chengzhu was a soldier of the Eighth Route Army before, but now Brigade Commander Qin actually hired him and directly appointed him as the commander of his own artillery regiment?

He knew that this superior knew how to use people well, but it shouldn't be so exaggerated!

Before he could react, Sun Debiao heard his name from Qin Feng: "Sun Debiao!"

Sun Debiao immediately stepped forward, and as soon as he stepped out of the line, he felt countless eyes looking at him.

"After the battle of Wanjia Town, our brigade seized a cavalry battalion's war horses from the puppet army, and asked the division headquarters for a battalion's cavalry equipment. I have now decided to thoroughly implement the establishment of this cavalry battalion, and let Sun Debiao serve as the commander of the cavalry battalion!"

Sun Debiao's breathing couldn't help but become much heavier. This was a cavalry battalion, a real brigade-level cavalry battalion!

Moreover, he had just heard that all the troops of the independent brigade were going out to recruit more soldiers, and at that time he would lead the cavalry battalion out to develop.

With the mobility of cavalry, the development speed of their cavalry battalion is definitely beyond imagination. Maybe by then...

Sun Debiao immediately responded excitedly: "Yes! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"Yes." Qin Feng retracted his gaze and cast his sight on Zhou Weiguo: "Next, Zhou Weiguo's special operations company will be expanded into a battalion, and Zhou Weiguo will be the battalion commander of the special operations battalion. We must build a special operations battalion with all special operations personnel, specializing in special tactics such as infiltration, decapitation, harassment, etc."

"And I have an idea to implement another regimental combat unit of the independent brigade, but due to the current shortage of cadres, I have temporarily put it on hold. Weiguo, if you can support the framework, I can consider promoting your special operations battalion."

Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath and tried to suppress the joy in his heart: "Yes! Commander! Weiguo will definitely live up to the mission!"

The organization of a battalion was already a huge improvement for him, and there was also a position of regiment commander waiting for him. This made Zhou Weiguo very motivated, and he wanted to lead his troops out immediately to develop rapidly.

Qin Feng appointed all these special units in one go, and the next step was naturally the turn of the regular battalion-level units.

"Considering the current situation of the independent brigade, except for one undetermined regiment, the six battalions under the 357th and 359th regiments all need to be filled and established. The backbone cadres must be mobilized immediately to quickly set up the command structure!"

At the command, everyone in the audience showed joy on their faces, because the brigade commander's order promoted almost everyone.

The squad leader was promoted to platoon leader, the platoon leader was promoted to company commander, and the company commander was promoted to battalion commander. Their future is broad and there is great potential for them to achieve.

This further strengthened the confidence of these cadres in the subsequent expansion!

Taking in all the expressions on everyone's faces, Qin Feng nodded slightly, then went straight to the end of the meeting.

"Except for the guard battalion that remains at the garrison and the infrastructure unit that is building the garrison, all other troops will be dispersed to expand the army."

"I don't care how you guys improve your organization next. I just want to see the results!"

"When encountering a situation, the company-level units report to the battalion-level organization, the battalion-level units report to the regiment-level organization, the regiment-level and brigade-level units report to the brigade headquarters command center, and the units at all levels report to the higher level!"

"In addition, the entire brigade must always pay attention to the movements of the Japanese. Once the brigade headquarters issues an order, everyone must immediately assemble and return to the base!"

Everyone at the meeting immediately stood up and responded in unison: "Yes! Commander!"

...

After Qin Feng's order was issued, the entire base was plunged into bustle.

Wang Ke on the side looked at Qin Feng and said, "Commander, although we have sufficient supplies right now, wouldn't it be too risky to distribute them all to expand enrollment?"

As the person in charge of military supplies, Wang Ke knew very well how rich the equipment and resources were in his warehouses.

With such a huge amount of supplies, even if it is distributed to the company and platoon level, it is a considerable number. Wang Ke is worried that these supplies will be wasted inexplicably, and it is not impossible that they will be resold on the black market.

This kind of situation is basically commonplace within the National Army, so generally the troops use the supplies as they are needed and absolutely no surplus supplies are left.

"Don't worry, these cadres followed us to break through the siege and were promoted by me." Qin Feng was full of confidence in the people below.

Those who could be appointed as cadres by him were basically soldiers who were endowed with terms. These soldiers had a considerable degree of loyalty to him and would never betray his orders.

Besides, it’s not like Qin Feng is really unable to control their specific locations. Even if they go out to expand their recruitment on a large scale, Qin Feng can still see through everything with his tactical bird’s-eye view ability.

Everything is under his control, it all depends on whether the [Tiger General] entry is powerful enough.

"Wang Ke, you have to know that we must expand the brigade's recruitment. Only in this way can we cope with the next big move by the Japanese."

"And not only will we expand our enrollment, I will also go to the division headquarters in person to ask the division commander to take it seriously. And then maybe I will have to report it to Commander Yan." Qin Feng seemed to have made plans a long time ago. Not only did he have to prepare in advance, he also had to ask others to take precautions.

This is what he must do now as a soldier of the Xia Kingdom. Otherwise, if the Jin Province is not fully prepared, the Japanese army will surely march straight in, burn, kill and loot, and devastate this land once again.

As for whether Yan Laoxi would listen or not, that was not within Qin Feng’s consideration. He did what he should do.

Seeing Qin Feng's insistence, Wang Ke nodded without saying anything more.

As the quartermaster, her job was to manage the brigade's supplies and mobilize and distribute them according to the brigade commander's orders.

"By the way, Wang Ke, the construction of the base is still a top priority. During this period of time, we can gather some civilians from nearby and ask them to help us build fortifications and facilities for the base. It's not free help, we have to pay them and give them food." Qin Feng did not forget the construction of the [military base].

This time, he planned to go to the division commander not only to remind Chen Changfeng to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese devils, but also to continue to ask for things based on his own merits.

This time, Qin Feng was not only planning on getting weapons and supplies, he was also planning on getting production lines and arsenals with corresponding production facilities.

If possible, he would also like to find some channels to try to get some powerful weapons like tanks and planes, or even heavy howitzers.

Naturally, these things are inseparable from the military facilities at the base. Even if Qin Feng gets a plane, he still needs a runway.

"Yes, Commander. I will focus on the construction during this period of time." Wang Ke responded.

...

The newly expanded independent brigade will certainly not be able to calm down today.

After the brigade-wide meeting, all these newly formed combat units began to prepare for deployment.

The six regular battalions, cavalry battalion, special operations battalion, and brigade-affiliated artillery regiment under the two regiments also held internal meetings.

As the leader of a group, Yang Song could have chosen to be with Qin Feng, but he was a person who could not sit still and had to join in the fun and develop things.

So he used his brain at this time and began to discuss with his subordinate battalion commanders how to expand the team next.

He was in a meeting when a sudden idea came to Yang Song's mind and he turned around and walked out.

After a while, Yang Song came back with a cold young man beside him.

"Adjutant Leng, you have to help me on this trip. I know how powerful your magic gun is."

Leng Yue nodded and didn't say much. People who didn't know him well might think that he was very arrogant and disdained to talk to others, but people who knew him well knew that this was just Leng Yue's character.

As an old acquaintance, Yang Song was very straightforward. Compared to other combat units that were still confused and didn't know what to do, he took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Leng Yue.

In his opinion, Leng Yue was both capable and had a very strong "background". As the adjutant of the brigade commander, Yang Song believed that it would be a good idea to have a good relationship with him.

But what is curious is that Yang Song wanted to know why Leng Yue was not assigned a specific task by Qin Feng in this conference?

Thinking of this, Yang Song couldn't help but ask his own question: "Adjutant Leng, why didn't the brigade commander assign you any tasks? Did he ask you to stay at the base?"

Leng Yue shook his head: "I don't know. The regiment commander told me to wait for arrangements and see if he can get a batch of tanks and aircraft equipment before making any plans."

Yang Song and everyone present: "???"

Yang Song felt a little confused. Could it be that in addition to developing ordinary troops, the brigade commander was also planning to develop the army overlord and air force equipment? ? ?
