Chapter 17 You need an artillery company for every regiment? "Don't be stingy, you've become a rich man. Why are you still so petty? " "Send the mountain gun and the two Type 92 infantry guns and the shells to the brigade headquarters. Keep one hundred shells from the Type 92 infantry gun for yourself. In addition, the Type 92 heavy machine gun comes with six Come to the Brigade, Each heavy machine gun carries 3,000 rounds of ammunition. Twenty Shanxi-made Type 65 light machine guns were sent to the brigade headquarters, each with a thousand rounds of ammunition. I don’t want your other weapons and equipment.” "No, Brigadier General, I want to start an artillery company." "You have an artillery company in your regiment, so shouldn't I have an artillery battalion in my brigade?" "Of course. Considering your reputation, you deserve an artillery division." "Hmph, don't give me a playful smile, I give you two choices. One is to honestly deliver the weapons and equipment to me.
The other one is that I personally lead people to get it. By then, it won’t be as simple as just taking away weapons and equipment.” "Yes, Commander. I guarantee you'll be able to see the weapons and equipment before dark tonight!" Li Yunlong didn't dare to stay and drink anymore. He was afraid that if he drank a little more, he would drink up the rest of his family fortune. Seeing Li Yunlong's panic-stricken look, the brigade commander also laughed happily. "Call the new group. Tell him Li Yunlong that Qin Yangming has made a great contribution this time. Let him be the battalion commander." "No, Captain, this sip of your wine is expensive enough." "Captain, I beg you. If you want to drink next time, please tell me. I'll go to the county town to buy it for you. If I can't find it, I'll just steal it from the Japanese." Zhang Dabiao, who had originally stayed at the regiment headquarters hoping to get a Type 92 infantry gun, felt something was wrong when he saw Li Yunlong coming back with a gloomy face. Until Li Yunlong explained the whole story, Zhang Dabiao was also confused. A whole artillery company was spent on this meal. The price of this wine is really high. But later I heard that it was to replace Qin Yangming, Zhang Dabiao suddenly felt that this artillery company was quite worthwhile and even profitable. "Make a fortune, The brigade commander had no intention of transferring Qin Yangming away. He just wanted to beat me up.” On the way back, Li Yunlong finally figured out what was going on. Some of the brother troops nearby didn't even have mortars. You have an artillery company in one regiment.
This is not something that is told to headquarters openly. There is a rich landlord here, come and fight him quickly. Especially since their regiment was under the brigade commander's watch. How could the brigade commander not take action? In addition, those cannons can only play a greater role when handed over to the brigade commander. Of course, this is just Li Yunlong's self-consolation. There is actually nothing wrong with the political commissar's evaluation, he is just a Pixiu. a week later. After Qin Yangming learned that he was promoted to battalion commander, He also began his own reorganization plan for the Pioneer Camp. Take out paper and pen and start writing. There are still sixteen students in the first class. However, he did not plan to distribute grenade launchers to the class level. Because the grenade launcher requires a lot of experience. If you want to improve your skills, you either have to spend a lot of time training. Or use artillery shells to pile them up. Fortunately, he has neither of these two. So he planned to issue rifle grenades at the infantry squad level. This direct-fire grenade is more useful than a grenade launcher. Mainly because this thing is cheap. The new one is just ten points. The included rifle grenade only costs five points each. If it was the grenade launcher used by the Japanese, You can even directly use the Japanese melon grenades. The infantry squad is divided into three groups: Two five-man rifle teams, The squad leader and deputy squad leader each serve as the leader of a rifle group. Each deputy team leader carries a grenade launcher. The others each helped to carry one or two rifle grenades, A six-man machine gun crew equipped with two light machine guns, The two main machine gun shooters serve as the team leader and deputy team leader respectively. Two light machine guns and two rifle grenades, The firepower and numbers have overwhelmed the Japanese infantry unit. The team leader, deputy team leader and machine gun assistant gunner were additionally issued a Mauser C96 semi-automatic pistol.
In this way, a squad would have six pistols. Close combat will not result in excessive casualties due to poor bayonet skills. A platoon consists of four infantry squads plus a ten-man fire team equipped with three grenade launchers. (Except the three main shooters and the assistant shooter, everyone else is equipped with a rifle, and the three assistant shooters and the team leader are equipped with pistols) Including the platoon and the mule team, there are a total of 90 people. (The platoon has three people, two platoon leaders and two deputy platoon leaders, and one communications officer. The deputy platoon leader is also a sniper, and the communications officer is equipped with a submachine gun. The mule team consists of thirteen people. The captain and deputy captain are equipped with rifles and pistols, and the rest are equipped with rifles.) A company has three infantry platoons. Plus a tank with two 60mm mortars, In addition, there is a Type 92 infantry gun and a machine gun platoon consisting of three heavy machine guns. Including the company headquarters and other personnel, there are a total of 400 people. He planned to form six infantry companies. One is equipped with three Type 41 mountain guns, An artillery battery consisting of six 82mm mortars. A machine gun squad equipped with two DShK anti-aircraft machine guns, A fully equipped MP38 submachine gun, An assault platoon of forty-five men. It can be said that according to this organization, the total number of people in his battalion is close to 3,000. Even if he had to fight against a field infantry battalion of the Japanese, he would not be at a disadvantage. Even capable of eating each other. Looking at the compilation table I planned, Qin Yangming opened his mouth and called Sun Zhigang over. "Old Sun, how many weapons and equipment does our battalion have now?" Sun Zhigang listened to Qin Yangming's question, thought for a while and then spoke. "Our battalion now mainly has 20 Chinese regular rifles. There is only one Czech light machine gun left. A Maxim heavy machine gun, These are the weapons of the Type 79 ammunition. The others were broken into pieces and sent to the regiment headquarters. Then there were three hundred Type 38 rifles from the Japanese. Twenty-one Type 99 light machine guns, Ten Type 92 heavy machine guns, Twenty-three grenade launchers, Ten Type 92 heavy machine guns, Two 60mm mortars, plenty of ammunition." Inform Sun Zhigang about the status of the Vanguard Camp. Qin Yangming also frowned. This amount of weapons and equipment is not enough to form the vanguard battalion he wants. The Vanguard Battalion would need nearly 1,500 rifles alone. Even if the main weapon is the Type 38 rifle, That's only one-fifth. The only thing close to the number of weapons was the Type 92 heavy machine gun. Still missing eight. After Sun Zhigang began recruiting soldiers and training them according to the plan,
Qin Yangming also began to think about how to deal with the remaining weapons. He now has a huge points gap. All the points added up are only enough to buy a few guns. And he doesn't buy any shells. "It's a pity that the Linyuan County Japanese Command has not sent a new commander yet, otherwise..." "Yes, I can go to the Japanese headquarters in the next county and do another job!" Thinking of the Japanese command center, Qin Yangming immediately thought of Shiquan County next to Linyuan County. The Japanese commander there is a lieutenant colonel, who is much more valuable than a major. And it's not just the heads of the Japanese that can be exchanged for points, but also those of the puppet army. Although at the same level, the puppet soldier's head is only half the price. But the puppet army was too numerous. Any battalion commander is a major or lieutenant colonel, and the regiment commander is a colonel or even a major general. Although the puppet army rank is worthless, it is still recognized by the system. Moreover, the puppet troops are easier to kill than the Japanese devils. "Goudan, go get Wang Erniu and Li Erhu to come over to me." "Yes!" Soon, the two were brought in front of Qin Yangming. Qin Yangming didn't waste any words. He told them directly that he would take them to the next county to attack the Japanese headquarters. Naturally, the two had no objection. After saying hello to Sun Zhigang, Qin Yangming took the nine people, changed their clothes, and rode their horses towards Shiquan County. When passing some Japanese artillery towers, Qin Yangming had already made up his mind. After the new recruits have been trained, He took the new recruits to train with the Japanese artillery towers and bandits on various hills in Linyuan County to increase the troops' combat experience. Shiquan County is also 100 kilometers away from Qin Yangming and others. After rushing and hurrying, we finally arrived at the county town before the sun set. Perhaps it was because there were no main Eighth Route Army troops active in Shiquan County. Only some district teams and county brigades are active. Therefore, the city gates were not guarded very strictly. Shiquan County is much larger than Linyuan County and has more troops than Linyuan County. Linyuan County had only one Japanese infantry battalion and a puppet army regiment as garrison force. Shiquan County has a complete infantry battalion and a squadron. Plus a puppet army mixed infantry brigade garrison. The supreme commander was a lieutenant colonel.
The puppet army brigade commander was even a major general. I have to say that the Japanese were really lax about the military ranks of their puppet troops. But for Qin Yangming, he naturally wanted to be as open as possible. The system calculates points based on military rank, not based on troop strength. He wished the Japanese would give each puppet soldier a general. (End of this chapter)
