After lunch, Li Qinglin convened a meeting of officers above the platoon level and above. At the meeting, Li Qinglin announced several orders.

First, he announced the establishment of a cavalry squadron, with the squadron leader being the same as Dong Zhao, and the cavalry squadron currently has two platoons, with the first platoon being the same as Dong Zhao, and the second platoon leader being the same as Deshui. Although there are not enough personnel and horses at present, and these two platoons are not full, personnel can first select and train from each squadron, and then supplement them after the horses and mules are present.

Originally, Li Qinglin didn't need to serve as the captain of the cavalry squadron himself, but Dong Zhao's qualifications in the third brigade were too shallow, so Li Qinglin had to let him become the squadron first, and it would not be too late to promote him after Dong Zhao made military achievements in the future.

The second thing is that the newly established 10th Squadron is Feng Zheng. The 10th Squadron is mainly composed of newly recruited personnel. Feng Zheng’s current task is to train this group of personnel well.

The third thing is to start an officer training class soon, with the instructors being held by Han Jizhong and Feng Zheng. All the personnel attached to and above in the brigade must participate. No one is allowed to evade learning and training for any reason.

The troops were reorganized again. Except for those who had already acted as squad leaders, the others returned to their original troops.

After the order was announced, Han Ji-jun and Jin Mingjun took the roster to the squadrons to count the number of people, and Jin Mingjun will distribute supplies and weapons and ammunition based on the roster. After some chaotic situation, Han Ji-jun and Jin Mingjun came back with the roster.

As soon as he entered the room, Jin Mingjun shouted excitedly: "Boss, we are really strong now. Our third brigade now has more than 800 people and more than 200 mules and horses, which is almost as large as half of the detachment."

It is naturally a good thing to have too many people, but Li Qinglin is not happy at all.

With more people, the salary for the military will naturally increase. However, the war zone will have a fixed organization for the third brigade. These extra people must be solved by the third brigade. There is another headache problem, that is, the quality squad platoon leader is not enough. The squad platoon leader is called the head and the head of the soldiers. They are officers who directly lead the soldiers and eventually execute the orders of the superiors. A unit does not have a good squad leader, and it becomes an empty talk.

Another point is that with more people, the enemy's attention will be attracted, and the possibility of attack will be greatly increased. It is definitely not a good thing to be attacked by the enemy during the current period of troops reorganization.

After the reorganization and inventory of the troops, the miscellaneous guns in Feng Zheng's team were confiscated, and all personnel were equipped with Hanyang. Because the number of machine guns was insufficient at present, Li Qinglin transferred two Czech styles from the direct squadron to Feng Zheng, and Quan was the teaching aids for training machine gunners.

The newly formed 10th squadron included some people who had served in Li Fu and his troops before. They thought that the third gang of the so-called guerrilla column was about the same combat effectiveness as the Imperial Army. But when Xiao Liuzi arrived with the main force, these people were considered eye-opening.

Each squad of the 7th, 8th and 9th squadrons of the Third Battalion has a machine gun, each squadron has a grenade cannon, the machine gun platoon of the direct squadron also has two mortars and a ninety-two machine gun. In addition, the newly established cavalry squadron, the personnel and equipment of the puppet army are not as good as those of such personnel and equipment. In addition, the battles of veterans, Shen Chu Li Qinglin and others since Fengshu Mountain have made these newly joined personnel excited.

The most direct consequence was that these local soldiers encouraged a large number of people to join the army. Each squadron of the seventh, eighth, nineth, tenth and cavalry squadrons were fully organized, with a number of 153 people in each squadron. The direct squadron was even over-staffed, with a total of 180 people. The total number of people in the entire third squadron reached an astonishing 945 people.

But the joyful atmosphere did not last long. Two days later, Pan Ke reported a very bad news for a telegram sent by him.

It turned out that the main force of the Ninth Detachment led by Chen Zhendong was attacked by the Japanese army on the road halfway away from Sangyu Town. The captain of Chen Zhendong's detachment was killed and nearly half of his officers and soldiers were injured and killed. Some of the remaining officers and soldiers retreated to Miaodian Town along the original route. A small part was dispersed and then scattered into the mountains to fight guerrillas.

Chen Zhendong and the others were attacked by the Japanese army this time, on the one hand, because their march speed was too slow, and the Japanese army predicted their march route, so they attacked an ambush halfway; on the other hand, it was also because Xu, Huang and Wu "Bai Qi" hit the Japanese soldiers at the head, which made the Japanese army lose face internationally. This time, the Japanese army killed the enemy this time, to vent this depressed atmosphere.

Looking at the telegram, Li Qinglin didn't say anything for a long time.

After a while, Li Qinglin asked Ding Goudan to inform the squadron leader to come for a meeting and conveyed the news to the squadron leader.

Although he has not been involved in Chen Zhendong's Ninth Detachment for a long time and has not had a deep relationship with other squadrons, his support force has suffered a devastating blow, and the room is silent for a moment, and everyone is in a very heavy mood.

After Li Qinglin introduced the situation, he raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "Brothers, the headquarters of our Ninth Detachment was destroyed by the Japanese. Now the war zone has not made a new decision on the future of the Ninth Detachment. In other words, from now on, we are considered a lonely army. The support of the brigade no longer exists. Military pay, supplies, etc. must be raised by ourselves. On this land, everyone must unite in the future. Only we can protect ourselves in the future."

Seeing that everyone was not in a high mood, Li Qinglin smiled and said, "Brothers, how dangerous we were when we came down from Mount Tai. We all came here at that time. Now it is much better than that time, right?"

Li Qinglin's words aroused the bloodiness of Xiao Liuzi and others. Zhang Ergou took off his hat and threw it on the table, saying, "What the boss said is how many people we were when we came down from Mount Tai? Only a few guns? We have all rushed over from the sea of ​​swords and blood. What else can we have to fear?"

The big man stood up and said, "We want people now, we need guns and guns. We have the artillery detachment headquarters in our hands and has been knocked out. Let's just pull up another team."

Everyone was excited and expressed their determination to fight to the end of the war.

Seeing that the repressed mood was gone, Li Qinglin said, "No matter what, our top priority now is to train the new troops well and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. As for the war zone, I will find a way to contact them."

Then he stood up and announced: "To get through this difficult period as soon as possible, I order it."

Everyone stood up and stood attentively and listened to Li Qinglin's arrangements for the future...
