Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

So when the New 1st Regiment just went out to develop, and considering the complicated enemy situation in Jingxing and Shijiazhuang areas, when other main forces were still relying on horses for communication, he insisted on equipping him with a radio, for fear that this guy would get carried away and allow Zhong Zhicheng to report in time.

But the latter part gave him a headache. In the original time and space, the commander of a main division actually took the commando team to behead people. If he did this as the commander of the column, what would happen to the troops if something happened?

Moreover, the commander of a column is not just responsible for fighting. As the base expands, the first-level commanders of the column will serve as commanders of military sub-districts to be established later. As a commander of a military sub-district, he is not only responsible for fighting, but also for the development of the base and cooperation with local governments. These are all things this kid needs to learn.

Moreover, during wartime, it would be bad if he had a brain attack next time and caused trouble, resulting in losses to the troops.

After some thought, it was finally decided to reorganize the New 1st Regiment into the Ji Zhong Independent Detachment, which would have about 3 to 8 battalions under its command.

Let him be the detachment leader first, and raise his rank by half a level, which can be regarded as a trial position. Let him stay in the position of detachment leader first, and then make a decision based on the situation.

At the same time, there were no major wars in the past six months, and since we were planning to establish a branch of the Anti-Japanese University later, we let him go to school to study for a period of time and retrain himself.

After dealing with the affairs of the New 1st Regiment, the next step was to confirm the military chief teams of each column.

Finally, after discussion among everyone, a complete plan was produced.

The 396th Brigade, commanded by Hong Chao, Yu Yongshou, Cheng Cuilin, Wang Youfa, Deng Zhang, and Wei Chi, commanded the 781st, 782nd, and 783rd Regiments.

The 393rd Brigade, commanded by Chen Zifeng, deputy commander Ding Xianhua, political commissar Xu Ce, deputy political commissar Yu Bolin, chief of staff Hu Zhen, and deputy chief of staff Li Tangyue, comprised the 757th, 758th, and 759th Regiments.

The 395th Brigade, commanded by Cao Deqing, deputy commander Chen Jinquan, political commissar Wang De'an, deputy political commissar Yu Zehong, chief of staff Li Jun, and deputy chief of staff Zhang Fusheng, commanded the 760th, 761st, and 762nd Regiments.

The 1st Column, commanded by Sun Yuqing, with Xie Weijun as political commissar and Bai Zhiwen as chief of staff, commanded the 80th, 120th, and 121st Regiments;

The Second Column, commanded by Zheng Lun, with Wu Huanxian as political commissar and Wang Yiming as chief of staff, had three regiments under its command: the 81st, 122nd, and 123rd.

The 3rd Column, commanded by Xia Wenkai, with Chen Haisong as political commissar and Wang Bingnan as chief of staff, commanded the 82nd, 124th, and 125th Regiments.

The 4th Column, commanded by Xun Bai, with Xie Wenxing as political commissar and Du Zhongmei as chief of staff, had three regiments under its command: the 83rd, 126th, and 127th.

The 5th Column, commanded by Liu Gancheng, with Wu Qingpei as political commissar and Huang Zirong as chief of staff, commanded the 84th, 128th, and 129th Regiments.

The Sixth Column, commanded by Chen Shuchang, with Zhang Ziqing as political commissar and Wang Guangdao as chief of staff, commanded the 85th, 88th, and 130th Regiments.

The 7th Column, commanded by Luo Hui, with Lin Longfa as political commissar and Chen Hong as chief of staff, had three regiments under its command: the 86th, 87th, and 89th.

Ji Zhong Independent Detachment, Commander Li Yunlong, Political Commissar Zhong Zhicheng, Chief of Staff Wang Dahua.

A total of 34 regiments, nearly 7 people.

Then everyone began to discuss the next development issues.

Previously, after Zeng Jiwen and others recovered southeastern Shanxi, the area of ​​the entire base began to expand rapidly. Moreover, after all the local regiments were reorganized into main regiments, in addition to the original four direct regiments and 10 main regiments, the newly reorganized troops had no shortage of guns, but there was a huge gap in light and heavy weapons and artillery.

Moreover, the Japanese army in North China has begun to blockade the southeastern part of Shanxi. In addition to the arsenal that can supply part of the weapons, the rest needs to be supplemented.

Moreover, the size of the army has increased dramatically. With nearly 70,000 troops, it is impossible to support such a large consumption solely by relying on southeastern Shanxi.

So after discussing it, they decided that the 396th Brigade would be stationed in Xiyang and Shunliao County, the 393rd Brigade would be stationed in Yushe, Wuxiang and Qin County, and the 395th Brigade would be responsible for Licheng, Pingshun and Xiangheng areas.

The First Column marched along the Qinyuan, Anze, and Changzhi areas, ready to threaten Linfen at any time. As for Qinshui, Yangcheng, Jincheng and other places in the south, Lao Chen was stationed there.

The second vertical line went east out of northern Henan, with Linzhou as its base point, and developed towards Anyang and Hebi. The third vertical line developed in Wu'an and Handan in southern Hebei. The fourth vertical line continued eastward in Xingtai, and developed towards Guangzong, Qiu County, Quzhou and other places.
