Chapter 295 Dare to Use Newcomers
After the chief of staff left, Li Shaoyi met with the three regiment commanders in his office.
Zhang Haiguang, the head of the First Security Regiment, was reorganized from the former Tianyu County Security Regiment.
The commander of the Second Security Regiment, Zhao Jiasheng, was reorganized from the original Yishun County Garrison Regiment.
Guan Zhongping, the commander of the Third Security Regiment, was reorganized from the original Longxing County Garrison Regiment.
For the convenience of management, when the security groups are stationed at their respective bases, they are still referred to by their original names, such as the Security Group of a certain county. However, once on the battlefield, they are referred to according to the security group's battle sequence.
Zhang Haiguang and Zhao Jiasheng are both old faces. They are also old men who started their careers with Li Shaoyi. However, they were later assigned to the security corps, which made their status a little lower. Now that there is an opportunity to go to the battlefield, they naturally have to be followed first.
"Brigade Commander, please quickly assign us tasks. The brothers coming from the interior are itching to get started."
Zhang Haiguang dragged his hand and said that he was only a head shorter than Tang Guoping and the others, but the team was expanding rapidly now. Even if he could not be a regimental commander in the main force, being a battalion commander would be much better than now. There were too many regimental commanders in the security corps, and there were dozens of them now.
"You've done quite well in the security regiment. I've seen your training results. Among the twenty-odd security regiments, yours is either first or second. Your training results surpass those of the average regular army. You must have tortured your soldiers quite a bit."
Li Shaoyi pointed to a few seats nearby and asked them to sit down with a smile.
"Didn't you tell me in your lectures before that the more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in war? These guys are all young and old. If we eat more and work harder in peacetime, we'll have more chances to come back during the war. Shouldn't I guide you a little bit?"
Zhang Haiguang said somewhat embarrassedly, writing down every word Li Shaoyi said, and also asked his subordinates to do the same.
In the security team competition, they won first place three times out of four times, and the only one was won by Zhao Jiasheng's security team.
"Your guidance is good, but the security corps' recruitment review is only slightly lower than that of the regular army. It's not that you are inferior. During training, you still have to ensure that you are not injured."
Li Shaoyi's face turned serious when he said this. Although Zhang Haiguang's training results were good, two of his brothers were injured during training because they were too tired.
This loophole cannot be opened. When every soldier enters the army, he has already been labeled by the recruit assessment. Of course, it does not mean that he will be at this level for the rest of his life. He may be promoted after training, but he cannot always exceed his limits. It is also harmful to his body.
"Yes, I admit my mistake..."
Zhang Haiguang honestly admitted his mistake, and Li Shaoyi also waved his hand, indicating that the matter had passed. If they did not conduct training for fear of injury, it would be a disaster for the entire army. Some things only needed to be touched upon.
Seeing that the three people were eager to try, Li Shaoyi knew that he had to assign them tasks, otherwise these three people might not even be able to eat in peace.
"Your combat mission has been determined. I will have you defend Chifeng. Zhang Haiguang will serve as the Chifeng Security Commander, and Zhao Jiasheng will serve as Chief of Staff. In addition to your three security regiments, I will also provide you with three local security regiments. Their numbers are the same as yours, but their recruit training hasn't yet been completed. I'll use the veterans to guide the new recruits. Do you understand what to do?"
In the entire Rehe Province, apart from Chengde, Chifeng in the north is probably the most important. Li Shaoyi was really brave to hand over these three locations to three security groups.
However, judging from their training results and bandit suppression achievements, these three security regiments should be fine. This time when they set out from Chengde, their artillery company will be equipped with 105mm howitzers, which is no different from ordinary regular troops.
Defend Chifeng?
This is a task that only regular frontline troops can have. Zhang Haiguang and Zhao Jiasheng looked at each other, and both were very excited.
As for Guan Zhongping, he is just a junior in the army. Compared with these two old seniors, he should just stand there honestly, express fewer opinions, and do more practical work.
"Don't worry, Brigade Commander. No matter what kind of person they are, as long as they stay with the three of us brothers for two months, we guarantee that they will be qualified, and Chifeng will be intact, unless we all fall."
Zhang Haiguang calculated that there would be 12,000 people going this time. Although they were all from the security regiment, he knew his own people very well. Zhao Jiasheng was only slightly worse than himself. The 4,000 people from these two regiments could all be used as regular troops.
As for Guan Zhongping's regiment, although it was slightly inferior, it was always in the top five in every assessment, and its combat effectiveness was approximately 85% of that of the regular army.
The headache is the three new security groups. It is said that the longest one has only been formed for about a month, and all kinds of training for new recruits have not been completed, so they can only train while fighting.
"I don't want you to fall. What I want is for you to keep a tight hold on Chifeng. I'll force the enemy's main force to split into two, one attacking Chengde and the other attacking Chifeng. I'll withstand most of the pressure, and you have to attract the enemy in front of you until I'm done."
Li Shaoyi gave a lot to many people, but at the same time, the pressure he endured was also enormous.
"Please rest assured, Commander. We are not cowards. As long as we are still alive, we will never let the Japanese set foot into Chifeng City."
The three of them stood up straight, and at this moment they felt the heavy burden on their shoulders.
"Our army is about to expand. If your army can hold Chifeng City, after the battle, in addition to the bonuses you are entitled to, all troops will be transferred to the regular army, and your positions will be the same as those of the regular army."
After Li Shaoyi finished speaking, the three men's eyes lit up. The difference between the leader of the security regiment and the leader of the regular army was huge. The sweet treat given by the brigade commander was indeed huge.
"Brigade Commander, when we set out from the interior this time, we brought with us two to three thousand bandits, landlords, and some slaves working for the foreign devils. Could you please assign these people to us? We want to build a simple airport in Chifeng..."
Zhao Jiasheng didn't say anything until he was about to leave.
Zhang Haiguang also nodded beside him. How could I have forgotten about this? This guy really thought it through.
