When Zhou Chengru looked at the expressions on the faces of the two people, he knew that although they said they were willing to go to the guard team, they were not willing to do so.

He smiled and explained: "Don't underestimate the garrison!"

"The transfer of you from the main force to the garrison was a decision made by the regiment headquarters after careful consideration."

"Everyone knows that the main force of our National Salvation Army has only one regiment. If the troops want to continue to grow, they can only increase the total force by forming local troops. In addition, the theater just agreed to us to expand the local troops privately. The regiment took this opportunity to build the garrison, and also gave the theater an explanation so that they could not find a reason to deal with us!"

"In addition, reorganizing some of the main forces into garrisons can also show weakness to the enemy, paralyze the Japanese and puppet troops, and make them less concerned about us. When attacking us in the future, several garrisons will become our ambush, killer weapon, and accidentally damage the Japanese and puppet troops!"

"Of course, although the garrison claims to be a local force, within our National Salvation Army, you are our main force just like before the reorganization. The entire garrison must train itself according to the standards of the main force and demand itself."

"The last thing I want to tell you is the garrison organization: after the first battalion is adapted from the Xiyang garrison, it will be expanded into three 500 garrison battalions based on three main companies, and a guard company, a baggage company, a cavalry company, an artillery company, a reconnaissance platoon, an engineering platoon, a communication squad, and a regiment headquarters, a total of two thousand people."

"Each garrison battalion has three garrison companies, one guard platoon, one baggage platoon, one fire platoon, one reconnaissance squad, and one kitchen squad!"

"Each garrison company has three main platoons, one firepower squad, one guard squad, and one kitchen squad, a total of one hundred and twenty-five people!"

Dong Fei and Huang Hu were stunned.

The regiment commander's words just now were completely opposite to their own ideas. He originally thought that after the troops were reorganized into the garrison, both of them would be demoted.

Unexpectedly, the regiment commander prepared such a big surprise for them. After the troops were reorganized, although they had gone from the main force to the local troops, their level had risen by at least half a square because the garrison was a regiment-level unit, and the troops in their hands were also two or three times more... This was surprising.

The serious expression on his face was quickly replaced by a smile, but it was interrupted by Zhou Cheng's next words for only two or three seconds.

"Don't be too happy too early. Although the two garrisons will be expanded to 2,000, the regiment headquarters announced that each garrison has only 1,500 people, all equipped with light infantry weapons, not heavy machine guns, mortars, and mountain cannons!"

Dong Fei was anxious as soon as he heard this: "What should I do if the artillery company and the fire platoons of the three battalions?"

"Hide it, train secretly!" Zhou Cheng blurted out.

Seeing that the two battalion commanders had not reacted yet, Zhou Cheng continued: "In addition to the artillery company and three fire platoons, the cavalry company under the garrison must also be hidden."

"Only in this way, the war zone and the Japanese and puppet troops will believe that the garrison we formed is really a local force, rather than selling dog meat under the guild, and expanding the main force in the name of the garrison."

Dong Fei finally reacted, and then a disbelief appeared on his face: "How to hide! The artillery company, three fire platoons, plus the cavalry company, has a total force of more than 400 people. How could he escape the eyes of the Japanese spies?"

Zhou Cheng replied confidently: "As long as you find a way, there is no problem that cannot be solved."

"And we just used the Noda Fed's entire army to destroy most of the spies hidden in the defense zone of the Japanese and puppet troops. Although they began to lurk new spies and form a new intelligence network. However, the time was too short and the new intelligence network could not be fully equipped. As long as the plan was done, it would be fine for us to hide the troops of three or four hundred people."

"For the Xiyang garrison, this is even more problematic: Xiyang is full of mountains, and there is no village within a radius of six or seven kilometers. Three or four hundred people are hiding in the mountains for training, which is like throwing a stone into the sea without causing any trouble."

After hearing this, Dong Fei showed a thoughtful expression and began to think about Zhou Cheng’s request and order just now.

Huang Hu was anxious.

Xiyang is within the defense zone of the National Rescue Military, as long as the first battalion is adapted into the Xiyang garrison, the garrison and defense zone are ready-made.

The second camp where I am located is completely different.

Although the Chief of Staff adapted the Second Battalion into the Shouyang Garrison in the order just now and appointed himself as the captain of the garrison, Shouyang was not within the defense zone of the National Rescue Army and was still occupied by the Japanese.

It means that if you want to enter the defense zone, you must first capture Shouyang from the Japanese army, otherwise the name of the Shouyang garrison will be false and has no real name.

Looking at Zhou Cheng, he asked anxiously: "Captain, what should we do with our Second Battalion?"

"The Chief of Staff just said that the Second Battalion was reorganized into the Shouyang Garrison, but Shouyang is still in the hands of the Japanese, and half of the villages and towns are in the hands of the Shouyang Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Is the regiment headquarters planning to let us attack Shouyang and snatch Shouyang!"

"It's easy to say about Shouyang, the half in the hands of the Japanese. With the current strength of the Second Battalion, we will definitely be able to kill the remaining Japanese and take down Shouyang County."

"I don't know how to solve the half of Shouyang controlled by the independent regiment. We are not only friendly forces, but also our own people. We definitely cannot attack. If it really doesn't work, we will occupy half of Shouyang!"

Zhou Cheng shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, since the regiment headquarters has decided to reorganize the Second Battalion into the Shouyang Garrison, there is a way to take Shouyang. All you need to do is to build the frame of the Shouyang Garrison. After the regiment takes Shouyang, be sure to form the troops as quickly as possible."

After two days of reorganizing four garrisons, Zhou Cheng quickly returned to pacification and prepared to reorganize two guerrilla squadrons.

Luo Tianyu and Liu Shuihe were particularly excited.

When they were ordered to leave the main force and go to the enemy's heart to pull the troops themselves, both of them were deputy platoon leaders.

Now he has become the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander of the main force, which is equivalent to jumping to level three or four.

If Zhou Cheng hadn't read the appointment personally, they would have thought they had heard it wrong.

Zhou Cheng understood their mood at this moment. After they waited for half a minute, their excitement slowly calmed down, he continued to speak: "If I remember correctly, you two cadres who served as the highest-level cadres during the Red Army were the deputy company commanders. After the troops were reorganized, they became deputy platoon commanders and had never been to the battalion level."

"This time, letting you two partner to command the Third Battalion not only shows the regiment headquarters' recognition of your various military achievements behind enemy lines, but also shows the regiment headquarters' trust in you."

"But in the National Salvation Army, the battalion commander is not that easy to be."

"Our main battalion has more than 800 people, mountain cannons, mortars, heavy machine guns, and whatever they want, it is stronger than the strength of many troops and a regiment."

"Leading such a unit to fight against the Japanese, you must never be as harsh as before, fighting with the Japanese when you go to the battlefield. Remember, this way of fighting is a taboo for our national-savior army."

"Our National Salvation Army fights Japanese devils. If we can use shells to solve the enemy, we will never use machine guns. If we can use machine guns, we will never use rifles. If we are absolutely necessary, we will never compete with Japanese devils. Even if we have to compete with bayonets, we have weapons and tactics to consume a lot of Japanese strength when fighting bayonets between the two sides, reducing the pressure of riflesmen to fight with the stingers."

"The newly adapted battalion commander of the first and second battalions is also an old Red Army, and he is older than you, has richer combat experience than you, and is very familiar with the tactics and tactics of our National Salvation Army."

"Your stations will be together in the future. I hope you two can ask questions without shame and learn more from them."

"Give you three months to grow into a qualified battalion commander and deputy battalion commander."

"In three months, the regiment headquarters will conduct an assessment on you. After passing the assessment, you will continue to be the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander. If you fail the assessment, you will continue to be the company commander."

"Considering that the guerrillas have just been reorganized into the main force, the soldiers must have some things that they are not suitable for. Apart from a company commander, the regiment will not send cadres in."

"Captain Liu, you are the company commander of the 7th Company, and you will be promoted to three deputy company commanders. Deputy Battalion Commander Luo, you are the company commander of the 8th Company, and you will be promoted to three deputy company commanders to help you command the troops. The company commander of the Ninth Company is appointed, and you will be promoted to two deputy company commanders within."

"In three months, when the regiment headquarters evaluates you, they will also assess eight deputy company commanders. Those who pass the assessment will remain in their posts and perform particularly well will be promoted to take over as company commanders of the seventh and eighth companies. If they fail the assessment, they will all be demoted to become platoon commanders."

The two of them couldn't laugh anymore. The leader's words were like a huge rock, instantly pressing on their shoulders, making them feel unprecedentedly tremendous pressure.

Faced with this expected ending, Zhou Cheng did not say nonsense anymore.

The capable are superior to the mediocre, and this has always been the standard for selecting cadres in the National Salvation Army, and anyone is no exception when they come.

After a few brief statements, he took the Chief of Staff away from the station and let them digest what they said by themselves.

The cavalry battalion's garrison has not closed its mouth for the past ten days.

He was so excited that during the anti-sweeping campaign, the National Salvation Army killed nearly 10,000 Japanese devils, with a total of more than 500 cavalrymen.

The National Salvation Army seized a total of 325 intact war horses by the gunshots.

The Noda United, which raided the defense zone, also led a cavalry brigade of more than 300 cavalrymen. After the battle, the participating troops seized more than 100 war horses.

In addition to the war horses that the National Salvation Army originally had, the number of war horses under his command now exceeds 800, and it is almost possible to form a cavalry regiment.

Although the regiment commander drew more than 400 war horses to the garrison and regiment headquarters, the remaining more than 400 war horses were still enough to form a four-company cavalry battalion himself.

Tao Yongsheng never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to become the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion, and it was an enhanced cavalry battalion.

"Hello, Chief of Staff! The Cavalry Battalion is organizing troops to practice fighting immediately!" Seeing the regiment commander enter the cavalry battalion's base, Tao Yongsheng immediately met him.
