Safely integrating various high-tech equipment into the independent regiment can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment.

As long as these key devices are managed by the Deep Blue Guard, there won't be any major problems with confidentiality and security.

The third newly formed unit is the rocket artillery battalion.

Li Jingrong directly pulled out the rocket launchers and formed a battalion.

The entire battalion has a total of 18 107mm rocket launchers.

18 12-tube 107mm rocket launchers can fire 216 rockets at a time.

It can directly blow the Japanese into ashes.

The independent regiment also has a direct artillery company under its jurisdiction, which is four Type 82 130mm wheeled self-propelled rocket launchers and two PLZ45 self-propelled artillery.

This strategic force belongs to the independent regiment and is generally not used.

As for the artillery battalion, there is no need to say much.

There are three companies in total, Artillery Company 12 and Artillery Company 541 are equipped with a total of 122 Type mm howitzers.

The Third Artillery Battalion is equipped with six Type 6 66mm heavy howitzers.

There is also a 4th artillery company and a fire control platoon.

The 9th Artillery Company is equipped with 120 mm heavy mortars.

Needless to say, the fire control platoon is equipped with anti-artillery radar, which is also controlled by the Deep Blue Guard.

In addition, the independent regiment also added an anti-tank battalion.

There are two types of weapons equipped, one is the Type 75 82mm recoilless gun.

The other one is naturally the Red Arrow 8 individual anti-tank missile that was unveiled in Wild Wolf Valley.

These anti-tank weapons can be used not only in anti-tank combat.

He is also good at breaking down various fortifications.

In particular, the Red Arrow 8 anti-tank missile can clear target fortifications within the fire range of enemy heavy machine guns.

The accuracy mainly depends on the skill of the shooter, and the accuracy is still quite high.

In addition, the communications company, logistics department, field hospital, motor vehicle brigade, maintenance company, etc. still maintain their original scale.

From this organization, we can see what kind of monster this independent regiment is.

This also explains why Zhao Gang had an incredible expression.

8 infantry battalions, a firepower reinforcement battalion, a rocket artillery battalion, a heavy artillery battalion, an anti-aircraft artillery battalion and a tank battalion that will be formed soon.

The entire independent regiment has 13 battalion-level organizations and several company-level organizations.

The total number of troops directly exceeded 10,000 and reached about 12,000.

The 358th Brigade has grown to a strength of just over troops, excluding the independent regiment.

The size of this force is already larger than a brigade.

However, these are still literal data at present.

The equipment is advanced, but the requirements for soldiers are also high.

If you want to truly develop combat effectiveness, it is basically impossible without a year or two.

"Old Li, have you ever thought about where these soldiers are coming from? There are thousands of them. We can't just eat them all at once and end up bloating ourselves to death."

However, Li Yunlong had already thought of a solution.

"One Shilihe Village is definitely not enough."

"We will keep two infantry battalions and their attached battalions in Shilihe Village, and send out the other six infantry battalions to recruit new personnel."

"I'm just responsible for providing them with equipment and supplies."

"This not only expands the area under our military division's control, but also solves the problem of manpower resources."

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "Old Li, you really have a quick mind. This is a good solution."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong couldn't help but smile proudly.

But he soon stopped laughing.

He got the tanks, 20 of them at that, but no one knew how to drive them.

"Captain, I want to learn how to drive a tank."

"Captain, I want to learn too!"

The cavalry company commander Sun Desheng, who had been silent for a long time, and the deputy regiment commander and first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao found Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong glanced at the two of them and asked curiously, "What's going on with you two? Why did you both get together to look for me?"

Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng exchanged a glance, and then Zhang Dabiao said, "Captain Sun and I have agreed to form a tank battalion. I will be the battalion commander and he will be the deputy commander."

Li Yunlong immediately frowned and scolded, "Zhang Dabiao, you're itching for a job, aren't you? You're asking me for an official position? But it's not impossible."

After cursing, Li Yunlong's expression changed quickly.

After hearing what Zhang Dabiao said, this idea is indeed a good one.

In the entire independent group, it seems that only these two are more suitable as partners.

Among them, Zhang Dabiao is the battalion commander of the most powerful battalion, and also serves as the deputy regiment commander.

The former deputy regiment commander Xing Zhiguo has now been promoted to deputy chief of staff of the military region.

Kong Jie is only the chief of staff in name only.

This guy doesn't take care of things, so Xing Zhiguo has to take on this responsibility.

Therefore, Zhang Dabiao is indeed the most suitable person to serve as the tank battalion commander in the independent regiment.

First of all, his qualifications are definitely sufficient. Secondly, although Zhang Dabiao is very reckless in fighting, he is also very smart and has learned the essence of fighting.

And commanding tank battles requires this kind of character.

As for the cavalry company in the current independent regiment, its presence is indeed a bit low.

Before, cavalry was the treasure, but after the independent regiment began to be equipped with bicycles, three-wheeled motorcycles and jeeps.

These cavalrymen seem to be very useless. Compared with cars, war horses are very delicate. They need to be well fed and well taken care of.

It's not like a car, which can be run just by adding gas.

Moreover, this oil was provided free of charge by Li Jingrong.

The role of the cavalry company in the independent regiment is very embarrassing.

But Sun Desheng is a good seedling.

War horses belong to cavalry, and tanks are also a type of cavalry.

Then just let Sun Desheng and his cavalry company switch to tank training.

Forming a tank battalion based on a cavalry company seems to be a good choice.

As for these war horses and equipment, he chose to give them as a favor to the brigade commander.

When Zhang Dabiao heard Li Yunlong's last words, a smile appeared on his face, and Sun Desheng was no exception.

"Commander, don't worry. I, Zhang Dabiao, will definitely not let you down and will strive to learn how to operate this tank as soon as possible."

"By the way, Commander, when do we start learning about this tank?"

After hearing Zhang Dabiao's question, Li Yunlong gestured to Li Jingrong, who was holding a book not far away, and said, "You'll have to ask Consultant Li about this. I can't find a tank driving instructor."

The Deep Blue Guard Team under Li Jingrong is full of talented people and can use all kinds of equipment.

The current rocket artillery battalion, heavy artillery battalion, anti-aircraft artillery battalion, anti-tank battalion, etc. all have people from the Deep Blue Guard, and these people also serve as instructors.

Help independent groups incubate talents.

At this time, the literacy campaign organized by Zhao Gang for the entire group seemed very wise.

Being literate doesn't mean these soldiers are cultured.

But at least they won’t be unable to recognize any words when reading the instructions.

Moreover, after learning to read, as long as they can be taught, they will naturally understand more than those who cannot read.

Especially for artillerymen, who are good at reading sights and doing arithmetic, the requirements are even higher.

Li Jingrong said without even looking up after hearing this, "Go find Dahu and ask him to arrange an instructor for your tank battalion. The training ground has already been chosen. It's on the riverbed west of the village and is spacious enough."

Zhang Dabiao's face was filled with joy, and he said happily, "Okay, thank you, Consultant Li."

Then he left happily with Sun Desheng.

Li Yunlong looked at him and laughed, saying, "I was still considering who should be the military commander of the tank battalion, but I didn't expect these two guys to come to me!"

Zhang Dabiao found Dahu without saying a word.

"Driving a tank? Which position do you want to learn?"

"Which position?"

Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng were both confused and looked at Dahu with doubts.

Zhang Dabiao pulled a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket, handed one to Dahu, and asked with a smile, "Comrade Dahu, are there any special requirements for driving a tank?"

Dahu took the cigarette, and Sun Desheng tactfully lit it for him and said, "Yes, Comrade Dahu, what positions do you think are suitable for us?"

Da Hu took a deep breath and then said, "This tank cannot be operated by one person alone. It requires teamwork."

"Take our Type 59 tank for example; it requires a total of four people."

"First, there's the tank driver. It's a physically demanding job, and the space is very limited. You're tall, so it's not very suitable for you. I think Captain Sun is suitable."

"Then there's the gunner and the loader. There's nothing much to say about the loader, just enough strength."

"Being a gunner requires skills. You have to be able to read optical sights and so on. There's a lot to learn."

"The other one is the car captain."

"The tank commander is responsible for commanding the tank and operating the tank's machine gun. He also serves as an observer and radio operator."

"So driving a tank is not that easy."

Now Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng were dumbfounded.

"No wonder this tank is so powerful, it turns out to be so complicated."

Da Hu chuckled, blew out another smoke ring, and said, "This isn't complicated at all. The four of us have clear divisions of labor, so it's actually pretty easy to get started. But if you want to get good at it, you'll need more practice."

"Are you planning to form a tank unit?"

Zhang Dabiao nodded and said, "Yes, we are planning to form a tank battalion. Advisor Li asked me to come to you to arrange instructors."

When Dahu heard that it was Li Jingrong's arrangement, his face immediately became serious.

"It's Advisor Li's arrangement. You have to set up the tank battalion first, and then I will arrange for instructors to teach you."

"By the way, this is the tank battalion organization that Advisor Li gave me earlier. Just follow it."

"Also, if you're recruiting, remember these two points."

"The first point is that your height cannot exceed 1.7 meters. This is a hard requirement."

"The interior space of this tank is limited. Anyone taller than 1.7 meters can't squeeze in."

"The second point is a supplement to the first. Driving a tank is a technical job, but it also requires physical strength."

"This thing is all mechanically driven, and it's small yet powerful, which is the best thing."

"If you don't have enough strength, forget it. It will affect the combat effectiveness of the entire tank."

After hearing this, Zhang Dabiao immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and make the arrangements first."
