How many "battalions" are there in the "independent battalion," how large are the numbers, and how much combat strength they have?
The theme of the Anti-Japanese War is a very common genre in the film and television industry, and there are many TV series related to the Anti-Japanese War, such as "Independent Heroes", "Anti-Japanese Squad" and so on. And in 2013, with the release of a movie called "Iron and Blood Independent Battalion", the protagonist of this movie is the commander of an anti-Japanese independent battalion. You may not have understood, but what is an independent battalion? Today we will introduce you to an independent battalion.
Speaking of separate battalions, we must first know about the military organization. When China has soldiers, and when there are troops. Since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, it has been more than 4,000 years, and the military system has also had a long process of evolution. At the beginning, it was naturally a Shiwu system, with five people and a team of ten. This system, since the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, has continued to develop, until the Zhou, the emergence of "multiplication", at that time, this has become the most basic unit of the army, at that time, infantry and cavalry did not exist, only infantry and cavalry can be used.
Gradually, independent infantry and cavalry began to appear, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that the "battalion" type of troops appeared. The military institutions of the Song Dynasty, with 500 people as a unit, were called "Qianfu" or "Qianfu". Further up, it's a hundred, and up there, it's the miscellaneous soldier system.
It was not until modern times, during the Chinese ** period, that there was a more formal military system, according to the order of divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies, similar to the kind we play with the military flag, but the lowest branch of the army is the engineer army. The establishment of this stage during the Anti-Japanese War was generally the same.
That is, our so-called independent battalion is such a middle battalion?
However, the independent battalion is different, the independent battalion is directly subordinate to the headquarters of a region, while the independent battalion is directly subordinate to the headquarters of a region. It is precisely because of this that the independent battalions have not been included in the regular establishment.
How many people are there in a separate battalion? First of all, we have to know how many people there are in a company, and during the War of Resistance Against Japan, there were about six or eight hundred people. An independent battalion, on the other hand, is a strengthened unit that is temporarily established to perform a specific task, that is, a part of the troops from other units is drawn to form an independent battalion.
Of course, this unit is specially designed to carry out special tasks, so their strength is much higher than that of ordinary troops. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, I often heard that some independent regiments and independent battalions were like this.
