Chapter 15 Adjusting the First Company Organization
Li Yunlong must never boast about his mistakes. Any boast will definitely cause trouble.
Cangyunling did a good job in blocking the new regiment, and the brigade commander asked the ordering soldier to praise them a few times.
Now Li Yunlong directly disobeyed the order and returned to Cangyun Ridge with a new group of secrets.
Of course, seeking revenge from the Sakata Regiment and assisting the 358th Regiment in combat are not a pretense.
Lao Li went back to ask if he wanted to find an opportunity to seize more weapons and equipment.
In Li Yunlong's eyes, seizing weapons and equipment is more important than anything else.
The new regiment was commanded by Li Yunlong to the east and quietly returned to the battlefield of Cangyunling. They would definitely have a hand in the battle coming from the east!
As for the 358th Regiment's position, after extensive preparations, each unit has basically constructed a complete defensive position.
In the highlands, did each battalion follow Chen Ziyun's suggestion and assembled light and heavy machine guns and other weapons for defense?
Of course, at the defensive position on the left, Liang Guoping personally commanded the Second Company of the Artillery Battalion and set up an open position, preparing to directly support the infantry defense.
There will be a small number of infantry for defense near the high ground, thus forming an overall defense.
Chen Ziyun's artillery battalion's first company had once again set up shielding positions, and he made adjustments to the whole company.
The transportation squad to the east of the ammunition platoon was directly integrated into the two artillery platoons.
After adjustment, each artillery platoon has two artillery squads and two transport squads in the east.
Can each transportation team be strengthened to have twenty people?
One row was equipped with four pack horses, eight mules, and two Mulun carts.
The second row is equipped with four draft horses, four mules, and two wooden-wheeled carts.
Each artillery platoon, after being reinforced by the transport squad, has a total of sixty people!
The organization of the ammunition platoon has basically been temporarily abolished. The first company of Bu Nao has a guard platoon commanded by Sun Ming.
The guard platoon has three guard squads, each with fifteen people, all equipped with upgraded Thompson submachine guns.
After Chen Ziyun communicated with Sun Ming, he directly arranged for Chu Yu, the platoon leader of the ammunition platoon, to temporarily serve in the guard platoon.
After Sun Ming contacted the regiment headquarters, Chu Yu took over directly and became the platoon leader of the guard platoon.
Of course, a scheming person like Fang Ligong could tell at a glance that Chen Ziyun was not cultivating his own team at all.
Li Yang and Sun Xiong completely refused to obey Chen Ziyun's command in this battle.
Even Chu Yu was a little hesitant, and it was precisely because of this that he was temporarily kicked out of the first company by Chen Ziyun.
The two artillery platoons have their own transport squads, so Chen Ziyun can firmly control the first company troops.
In that era, if you have a gun and a talent, you can't be a grass-head king. If you don't have your own team, you won't be tough even if you keep your mouth shut.
At around five o'clock, the surroundings were completely dark. Zhou Wenbo and his observers had already set up an artillery observation post.
If the communication squad is directly under the company, a telephone line from the artillery observation post to the company headquarters will be set up immediately.
Artillery has five major skills: firing command, measuring data, observing terrain, smooth communication, and artillery operation!
Keeping communication open is a necessary condition for artillery operations.
Otherwise, the artillery observation post cannot communicate with the rear artillery, and the artillery covering the position will be completely blind.
Of course, even if the Shanxi-Sui Army is quite wealthy, it currently does not have the conditions to equip its company-level artillery with radios.
So they use wired telephones, semaphore soldiers and other means to maintain contact.
The first company was on alert, and they were ready to launch an artillery attack at any time.
The four artillery squads each received twenty rounds of grenades and five rounds of armor-piercing grenades.
In fact, according to the standard, the basic ammunition for each mountain cannon is one hundred rounds.
However, the Jin-Sui Army, which was gradually declining, became more and more eastward, and no longer had such a standard.
Each artillery company's four mountain guns can produce a hundred rounds of artillery shells, which is very rare.
The artillery shells currently used by the first company were captured from the Xiaoguizi Mountain Artillery Squadron position.
Fortunately, the Jin-made Type 13 mountain cannon is an imitation of the Lunar Army's Type 41 mountain cannon, and the shells can be used universally. Otherwise, there would be no shells for the entire company.
"Company Commander Chen, the regiment headquarters ordered the small luggage team to go to the large luggage team at the battalion headquarters to collect fifty rounds of combat artillery shells!"
"I'll just arrange for Yidong to have the small luggage team follow him there to pick up the ammunition."
As early as six o'clock, Sun Ming found Chen Ziyun and said directly.
The so-called small baggage team belongs to the ammunition company; the large baggage team naturally belongs to the ammunition company of the battalion.
Chen Ziyun did not delay, dispatched three transport squads, and set off directly with Sun Ming.
Sun Ming was Chu Yunfei's adjutant. He personally took the small luggage team there, so there was no problem.
Chu Yunfei placed Sun Ming in the first company to support Chen Ziyun and avoid being made trouble by others.
In a word, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will naturally be disputes.
The same principle applies no matter where you are.
Not long after Sun Ming left with the transport team, at 6:30, the sound of gunfire began to be heard from the frontline positions.
Then the Third Regiment of the Little Devils began to organize troops to launch a tentative attack. They used the cover of night to advance quickly.
The time now is around mid-February, around six o'clock, and the sky is not completely bright.
Many people think that the Japs don't like fighting at night. Is it because they encountered the Eighth Route Army who are better at night fighting, so they are unwilling to fight at night.
In fact, when the Jin-Sui Army and other troops were mistakenly attacked, the Yue Army preferred to move in the morning to achieve a rapid breakthrough.
At present, the captain of the Third Regiment, Colonel Nobutetsu Sakata, and the Regiment's Lieutenant Colonel Futomo Ura were killed one after another.
Hachiro Eguchi, the major commander of the First Battalion who took over the command, was sharpening his skills and was ready to show off his skills.
First, annihilating the 358th Regiment can make up for his fault of being destroyed at the wing headquarters.
Secondly, if you want to annihilate the 5,000-man Jinsui Army, then Eguchi Hachiro may even be promoted to military rank.
Therefore, Eguchi Hachiro attached great importance to that battle.
He personally commanded the Hengshan Brigade and conducted operations in the brigade.
In addition, he strengthened the rapid-fire artillery squadron of the regiment and the artillery squad of his first battalion for them to carry out operations.
As for the Yokoyama Battalion, Izai Battalion was directly responsible for the attack mission, and Eguchi Hachiro commanded the First Battalion to go to the rear.
Of course, the Ohno Squadron of the First Battalion, which was previously tasked with protecting the flag, was dispatched this time.
Is the Ono Squadron responsible for conducting detours, searching for the artillery units of the Shanxi-Sui Army, and launching annihilation strikes?
Did Eguchi Hachiro give Ohno Squadron a chance to redeem themselves?
At around six o'clock, Hengshan Brigade and Jingzai Brigade launched combat operations.
The two brigades each dispatched an infantry squadron to search and advance forward and conduct probing attacks.
This is the usual attack leg section of the Japs, using a small number of troops to conduct a feint attack to attract the defenders to expose their firepower points.
Just ask the defenders to expose their firepower points, and their artillery will quickly mark them, and then launch a fierce bombardment to destroy them.
After destroying the firepower point, they will launch a group charge and carry out oppressive strikes at different positions.
