Chapter 203: Ding Wei plays the game of favor trading
Commander Liu calmed down and thought about how to distribute these horses.
If it really doesn't work, assign tasks to each group.
Li Yunlong has 500 horses, Cheng Xiazi has 600 horses, and the newly formed 12th Regiment has 200 horses...
There are 1000 horses in the Taiyue column and 1000 horses in the Taihang column.
For the first time, we were worried about having too many war horses and the base could not afford to feed and support them.
The division headquarters gave priority to the brigades and military sub-districts when calling, and their attitude was very tough. They were allocated quotas and were required to assume important responsibilities.
Li Yunlong hung up the phone and looked at it suspiciously, thinking he had heard it wrong.
"Oh my god, has the commander made a fortune?"
An entire cavalry battalion was sent to him in one go, which made him terrified.
In the past, phone calls either meant punishment or demotion, but today the sun rose from the west.
The call from the brigade commander was frightening enough, and before answering the call from the division commander, he thought about it over and over again. He has been quite honest recently.
Did someone report him for drinking?
Which bastard reported him?
After answering the phone, I wiped the sweat off my forehead, it was like pie in the sky.
They actually took the initiative to give Li Yunlong a cavalry regiment, and provided it with horse harnesses and weapons and equipment. It is no exaggeration to say that the regiment can be equipped with soldiers to fight.
The independent regiment active in the Yu County area has become a strong main force.
There is no need to say much about Lao Li's abilities. He is more capable than Kong Erlengzi.
Kong Jie was originally a column under Ding Wei, and because of the transfer, he entered the Jinzhong area. Needless to say, a cavalry regiment will come first, and then supplement it when needed in the future.
Zhang Wanhe, the logistics minister of Datong, is in charge of production.
The sound of cars roaring outside was heard, and a large number of horses rushed over from Chabei.
The war horses are consumed by the troops, while ordinary horses can be used to plow the land and assist in farming.
1300 good horses were donated at one time, which could be distributed to villages and towns and distributed to the villagers.
During the busy farming season, this is a good worker.
Old Zhang came here to cooperate with the work and was attached to Ding Wei's Suirecha Military Region. He had a very comfortable job.
From time to time, a large wave of spoils would arrive, and he would have whatever he wanted, so he never had to worry about anything.
There was iron ore and supplies. Most of the Japanese prisoners of war were still digging in the mines.
This logistics minister has a much easier job now than before.
In the past, we had nothing we wanted and we had to find ways to overcome difficulties. Now, we have basically everything we want and we just have to find ways to expand production capacity.
What the base lacks the least is population.
Zhang Wanhe dared to guarantee that as long as supplies came in, they could be quickly converted into artillery shells, bullets and grenades for the troops to use.
"Thank Commander Ding for me. These horses can ease the pressure on farmland. Thank him on behalf of the local people."
In addition to the division headquarters and Datong, Ding Wei also sent a batch of troops to northern Shaanxi.
Teacher He, who reclaimed the land in Nanniwan, lived a hard life. All the war horses he used to fight were used for farming. The old horses could only be used for a few years and some died of old age. They made great contributions to the revolution.
Wang Tao, who was in northern Hebei, also received horse equipment and communicated with the brother troops in central Hebei.
New connections have been established, and as long as they can afford it, they can come to Jibei to adopt war horses.
Carbines and equipment are given away together, and cavalry are given away generously.
Ding Wei really made a fortune. The Suirecha Military Region spread to the surrounding areas and provided weapons and equipment to all the brother troops.
It feels like one person's success brings benefits to the whole family. When Ding seized horses and equipment, all the brother troops could benefit from it.
The main regiment can take the opportunity to establish a reconnaissance cavalry platoon or even a reconnaissance cavalry company.
Enhancing the mobility of troops is of great significance.
The brigade commander fighting in northern Henan Province, with his hands on his hips, looked at the newly arrived Mongolian horses and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Damn Ding Wei, he has really become a wealthy man. Can I afford to keep all these horses?"
He was given 300 more war horses. The cavalry regiment must have some spare horses.
With his ability as a brigade commander, is he still worried about not being able to support them?
The Eighth Route Army as a whole received a wave of reinforcement, and weapons, equipment, horses and harnesses were transported from the northwest region and dispersed to central Hebei, northern Henan, southern Shandong and other places.
The production capacity of Datong Military Factory has been increased, and the homemade Type 10 rifle has been mass-produced. Thousands of rifles are produced every month, which can supply regiments.
This gun is more in line with the combat style of the Eighth Route Army, with an effective range of 300 meters and the same ammunition as the Japanese. It has a small recoil and uses a folding bayonet, making the gun shorter and easier to carry.
As the conditions of military factories improved, the quality of firearms also improved significantly.
It can be said without exaggeration that its quality is better than the Jin-made rifles in Taiyuan.
A large number of carbines were also delivered to the Eighth Route Army, and repaired Type 38 rifles were also pushed out.
The weapons and equipment of the main force were improved. At this moment, the Eighth Route Army had escaped the situation of being the only one with three guns.
Weapons and equipment have been qualitatively improved, and bases are scattered across large areas such as North China and Central China.
The Mengjiang region was reshuffled, and Ding Wei's cavalry troops began to move towards the grassland to publicize the new policies to the local people and clear out the remnants of the puppet army and traitors.
In Suixi, Mr. Fu also reaped the benefits, but these benefits were not given by Ding Wei, but by the defeated pseudo-Mongol cavalry, who took the initiative to surrender to the national army.
He joined his 35th Army.
According to rough estimates, one to two thousand cavalry and two to three thousand infantry entered the Sui West territory.
This group of defeated soldiers were unwilling to surrender to the Eighth Route Army and instead joined the National Army. But if you really count, Ding Wei was also the commander of the 12th War Zone.
After one phone call, a lot of horse equipment was sent out.
The rest was taken by his Suirecha Military Region.
Reorganizing three cavalry divisions, Ding Wei didn't find it difficult at all as he had to cook as much as he could in the big pots.
The cavalry galloped, and in just three days they were completely transformed. They reorganized the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry into the detachment, with veterans as the backbone and serving as squad leaders.
It is necessary to promote the discipline of the Eighth Route Army and ensure the quality of training. Sun Desheng adhered to Ding Wei's high requirements, whip in hand, and put on a stern face.
"Hurry, hurry, run and ride and slash."
There were many dummies on the grassland for the cavalry to swing their swords and kill while charging, and the formation seemed a little chaotic.
It will take at least three months for the cavalry to have initial combat effectiveness.
It will take at least half a year to build an elite force.
Ding Wei can wait, as this unit will be his handle to control the Mengjiang region, so he has to treat it with caution. All weapons, equipment, mountain cannons and machine guns must be fully equipped to Sun Desheng.
At present it is a cavalry division, and in the future it will be three mechanized divisions.
But there are not enough cars and motorcycles, so horses are used as a substitute.
After the reorganization is completed, it will be equipped with a towed artillery battalion.
The destruction of the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry caused the Japanese Kwantung Army's power in Mengjiang to collapse directly, and it lost control of this area.
The purpose of the Mongolian troops and the puppet Mongolian troops was to contain the Soviet Union so that they could attack from both sides and advance into Siberia during battles.
Ding Wei also had the same vision and held the same idea. Once the relationship between the two sides deteriorated, the three elite mechanized divisions could rush into the enemy's rear from Outer Mongolia at any time.
"Commander, Arnold is here."
The guard's report interrupted Ding Wei's thoughts. The Soviet intelligence was not slow.
I had just dealt with the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry when this group of people came here smelling blood.
Go meet him and see if he is Lao Maozi or Lao Mao Big Brother today.
