Chapter 168 Chen Ziyun takes stock of the artillery family
Whether the large-scale raiding battle that is about to begin is a temporary decision, or whether it is decided after careful consideration.
Previously, the brigade commander went to the general headquarters for a meeting to discuss the relevant situation, and the "Battle Preparation Order" was issued by July 22.
Troops participating in the war began to receive secret orders one after another, and they assembled in secret towards the relevant areas.
The attack was divided into three stages. The first stage required the battlefield to be on the Shota-Taiwan Railway.
The Zhengtai Railway is a section of the railway from Zhengding in Hebei Province to Shanxi Province, and it is also a channel for establishing contact between the First Army of the Japanese Army and the units directly under the Front Army.
Ding Weixin's Second Regiment has already set off secretly. Of course, as a regiment-level cadre, he naturally does not know what scale of battle is about to unfold in Jie Donglai.
At the headquarters of the New Regiment in Yangcun, could Li Yunlong stare without shaking his mother?
Although Lao Li is not a regiment-level cadre, he cannot know the scale of the upcoming battle.
Is Li Yunlong an unusual regiment-level cadre? In his own words, Lao Li, he has held the position of regiment leader several times in the past.
Li Yunlong has a very keen observation ability on the battlefield, and he has already sensed something unusual.
"Why? Let's talk about why. What can Ding Weixin's Second Regiment do with more than a thousand people?"
"When his new second regiment was first formed, he took the weapons and equipment from his new regiment."
"When I led the New First Regiment to face off against the Bantian Regiment in Cangyunling, the New Second Regiment was not even organized!"
"What do you mean, brigade commander? The weapons and equipment of the New First Regiment are no longer on the battlefield, leaving the New Second Regiment to go."
"Please tell him, he shouldn't be equipped with a fucking chief officer. Then the damn chief officer has just arrived, and the new regiment can't even get combat missions."
"It's okay for Kong Er to stay there as a fool. Let's go and find out which battle our Lao Li will be watching from the rear."
"I have never seen people lead troops to carry out combat missions. It is very rare that I, Mr. Li, have seen others lead troops to fight."
"That's damn good. How can the New Second Regiment be compared to the New First Regiment? They all want to go to the front line, and we very much want to stay there."
In the regimental headquarters room, Li Yunlong stared with big eyes, his face was full of anger.
In Kong Jie's words, Li Yunlong is a dog-faced person, he will bite anyone he catches when he is angry.
He is also a person who feels uncomfortable without fighting. There was no fighting during that period, and Li Yunlong was already holding back his anger.
Now that he knew that the New Second Regiment had been mobilized overnight, the anger in Li Yunlong's heart completely burst out.
"Captain Li, let me calm down. Is the troop movement normal? You should not judge that the New Second Regiment has gone to the front line to fight."
"Now there is no order from the brigade headquarters to come east. If I shout and curse like that at the regiment headquarters, what will the entire regiment cadres and soldiers think?"
"That series of impacts is not good, not to mention the independent regiment headed by Kong Jie is not very good."
"Even if the New Second Regiment goes on a combat mission, if the superiors make such arrangements, they must have considered it."
"They must not complain in private and ask to fully obey the orders of their superiors!"
Zhao Gang heard Li Yunlong scolding his mother in the yard. He came to the house and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Judging from Zhao Gang's title, we know that the two of them are not getting along well.
"Hey, if you're honest, I'll give him a hat when you come here."
"The red-faced scholar told me that my new regiment is a field force."
"Do you know what a field force is? It's a force that wants to fight the Japanese!"
"There's no chance to fight the Japanese now. I'm fucking telling him to calm down. Just calm down."
"Go, go, don't get in the way in front of me, go wherever you like and stay."
When Li Yunlong is angry, who dares to say no in front of him?
Zhao Gang had just arrived at the New Regiment and was unaware of Lao Li's temper. His words completely angered Lao Li.
Hearing that Li Yunlong opened his mouth like an old man and shut up like a damn, Zhao Gang also became angry at that time.
Bu Nao was very unhappy and Zhai Luegang just vented his anger. First battalion commander Zhang Dabiao and several other cadres came over immediately after receiving the news.
They rushed to drag Zhao Gang out of the house. As old bosses who had followed Li Yunlong for many years, did they know Li Yunlong's temper?
If you let Zhao Gang argue in the room, he might even move his legs after a while.
"Commander, the leader has such a temper. There is no need to be angry with him."
Zhang Dabiao and others took Zhao Gang outside and tried to persuade him.
Zhao Gang has strong self-control and quickly stabilized his emotions.
But Li Yunlong inside the house was blaming the sky, the earth, and the air.
Based on his own experience, Lao Li was able to judge that there would definitely be a battle to start in the east.
The new Second Regiment was transferred away, which was a signal that Li Yunlong was willing to go to the front line to fight against the Japs.
Now that he feels that he doesn't have that chance, it's inevitable that he can't accept it.
The phone at the regimental headquarters in Buluo soon started ringing. The signal soldier picked up the phone and immediately stood at attention.
Li Yunlong came over and picked up the phone directly.
The brigade commander's voice began to be transmitted through the microphone.
"Li Yunlong and Ding Weixin have transferred the second regiment away. Will I curse in the regiment headquarters again?"
"Who, who is going to accuse him?"
Li Yunlong stared around, looked around, and shouted loudly.
"Li Yunlong, I don't want to accuse others wrongly, otherwise he will guess."
"If he didn't tell me, I would have known that there was going to be a battle. He didn't mobilize a new group. It would be weird if I didn't curse."
"But he asked me to tell him that my new regiment will fight the battle, but now, we will have a battle order in the future."
"Now I will let him wait for the follow-up combat orders in Yangcun. I beg you to scold me for messing around and let's see how he deals with me."
"One thing is very important, you are not allowed to take any action without authorization!"
"Tell me, that battle was so large that our new regiment was even registered at the division headquarters!"
"Maybe at any time, the division headquarters' combat orders will be conveyed directly to us."
"Li Yunlong, if you don't move us now, please let us play a key role."
"I beg you to let us go at the critical moment. We beg you not to play a key role. Let's see how he deals with me!"
The brigade commander's serious voice came over the phone, and he gave detailed instructions.
In response to the attack on the Zhengzhou-Taiwan Railway, the main participating troops were the 129th Division, a force directly under the General Headquarters.
Brigade Commander Chen's 386th Brigade was established in the east of the 129th Division, so they naturally refused to participate in the war.
Ding Weixin's Second Regiment was urgently mobilized and asked to participate in the attack on the Zhengtai Railway.
As for Li Yunlong's new regiment, each squad has light machine guns, each platoon has grenade launchers, and each battalion has heavy machine guns and mortars.
There are infantry artillery companies, cavalry companies and other units directly under the regiment. All rifles in the regiment are Type 38 and have sufficient ammunition.
With such a configuration of weapons and ammunition, even the old main field regiments like the 772nd Regiment cannot compare.
The division commander and brigade commander discussed and deployed them as a combat reserve team.
That means that the new regiment will soon serve as a battlefield firefighting team. Whenever there is an emergency, they will go out to join the battle at any time.
"Brigadier, is that so?"
"You can rest assured that the brigade headquarters and division headquarters orders will be carried out thoroughly."
"Even if we let them fight too far with a new group, they will fight to the outside of the city."
"If you can't get in, I'll twist off Li Yunlong's head and use it as a chamber pot!"
When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately smiled.
Little did he know that his new regiment would be regarded as a perfect trump card by the division commander and brigade commander, and would be left to join the battle at a critical moment.
That kind of treatment made Li Yunlong very satisfied.
"Forget it, he doesn't need such a big chamber pot."
"Li Yunlong, remember what he said, don't go out without permission without orders."
"That battle was very large. Please tell me I got into trouble. No one can protect me."
The brigade commander emphasized again before hanging up the phone.
"Brigadier, thank me. Li Yunlong thanked me..."
Li Yunlong mistakenly picked up the microphone and continued speaking. After realizing that the brigade commander hung up the phone, he happily came to the map.
After Zhang Dabiao and others outside heard Li Yunlong's laughter, they came to the house one after another.
"We arrived just in time. We sent the order to go east, and the troops came back from the east to have a good rest and stop all training operations."
"One thing is very clear. All the dispatched troops will be withdrawn and all combat operations will be stopped."
"Da Biao, I am responsible for arranging for each battalion to receive ammunition and be ready for battle at any time."
"In addition, the batch of damaged weapons we seized will be ready immediately. He has to go to the logistics department."
After seeing Zhang Dabiao and others, Li Yunlong smiled and ordered.
"Captain Li, our regiment has troops sent out to fight. Why doesn't he know about that?"
"The troops are ready to start operations. Has the brigade headquarters conveyed a combat order?"
When Zhao Gang heard this, he said with a puzzled expression on his face.
The main force of the new regiment is with Yang Cun, so I wonder if Li Yunlong can be the leader of the idle regiment.
Some small groups of troops were dispatched by him to directly launch guerrilla warfare.
Those troops will definitely not gain much, but they can get some loot.
Of course, none of those things were arranged by Li Yunlong alone without notifying Zhao Gang.
"Zhengwei Zhao, he has said it a long time ago. I am in charge of life and he is in charge of war. We will not interfere with each other."
"Okay, just do whatever you need to do. He needs to go to the logistics department."
"No matter what happened that time, we had to exchange those damaged weapons for a batch of ammunition. The cost of that battle would definitely not be small."
Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang and left the regiment headquarters without explaining.
Zhao Gang wanted to ask, but in the blink of an eye, there was no trace of Li Yunlong.
The war is coming, and the air seems to be filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.
Near Yangcun, the 48th Independent Brigade is stationed.
During that time, all the eastern units of the Independent 48th Brigade were not idle. On the one hand, they strengthened the existing positions, and on the other hand, they continued to carry out training.
It is worth mentioning that Chu Yunfei made adjustments to the company commander of the artillery company directly under the 358th Regiment.
The 358th Regiment is directly under the artillery company, and was previously the second company of the artillery battalion.
Because the six Shanxi orogenic guns could not withstand high-intensity operations, they were transferred from the artillery battalion to the 358th Regiment for use.
After Chen Ziyun captured five Type 94 mountain guns, Sun Xiong was transferred back to the artillery camp again.
At that time, Chu Yunfei appointed eight officers with infantry background as company commanders, but they did not undergo long-term training during that period.
Chu Yunfei finally realized the pain of an amateur commanding an amateur, so he transferred the officer.
Zhu Mingxuan, who once served as the deputy platoon commander under Chen Ziyun, was transferred to the 358th Regiment as the artillery company commander.
Zhu Mingxuan once served as the deputy platoon commander of Li Yang's first platoon in the east of Chen Ziyun's artillery battery, and now he serves as the deputy commander of the second company of the artillery battalion.
Whether he has recently graduated from the Jinsui Army Officer Training Corps, has knowledge and culture, and has practical experience, is he a talent that Chen Ziyun focuses on cultivating?
That time he could serve as the commander of the artillery company in the 358th Regiment, and would he be recommended by Chen Ziyun?
After all, although the six Shanxi orogenic cannons were worn to a certain extent, they all had detailed firing parameter tables provided by the system.
As long as the company commander accepts advanced artillery combat concepts, the six mountain cannons can play a great role.
Zhu Mingxuan has been working as a deputy to Li Yang for a long time, and he is not the artillery talent that Chen Ziyun focuses on cultivating. Is he capable enough?
Up to now, almost all the artillery officers of the 48th Independent Brigade have been promoted by Chen Ziyun and are considered to be on his team.
Of course, the guard company and cavalry company are out of Chen Ziyun's control. Can Chu Yunfei authorize him to mobilize command at any time?
And Chen Ziyun's rapid formation of a reconnaissance platoon can also make up for the vacancy after the departure of the two troops.
Since the development of the reconnaissance platoon, the overall organization has made great progress.
Fifteen infantrymen are equipped with three guns.
Two machine gun groups and two mortar groups, equipped with two Czech light machine guns and two 60MM mortars.
Two sniper teams, eight sniper legs, equipped with eight Mauser sniper rifles.
The force has grown to about forty people, and they are all elite-level officers and soldiers carefully selected by Chen Ziyun. Is their combat effectiveness very strong?
As for the artillery unit, not counting the mortars attached to each battalion, the 48th Independent Brigade alone has four artillery companies.
The Zhou Wenbo field artillery company directly under the brigade headquarters has four Liao-made 77MM field guns and 2,400 rounds of grenades!
The 358th Regiment is directly under the Zhu Mingxuan Artillery Company, with six Jin-made 75MM mountain guns and 400 rounds of grenades!
The Liyang Mountain Cannon Company of the Artillery Battalion has six Bofors 75MM mountain guns, with 600 rounds of grenades, 200 rounds of armor-piercing shells, and 200 rounds of shrapnel shells.
There are also a hundred rounds of illumination bombs and smoke bombs each. Those shells are naturally rewards provided by the system.
The Second Artillery Company of the Artillery Battalion, Sun Xiongshan Artillery Company, has five Type 94 75MM mountain guns, with 300 rounds of grenades and 100 rounds of shrapnel!
There are four artillery companies with various mountain guns and 21 field guns, with more than 4,000 rounds of artillery shells.
At the same time, among these artillery pieces, five 94-type mountain cannons, six Shanxi-made mountain cannons, and four Liao-made field cannons all have detailed firing parameter tables.
The artillery strength of the 48th Independent Brigade cannot be underestimated. They can play a decisive role on the battlefield.
Chen Ziyun was very satisfied with the artillery force he had gradually developed.
Of course, he also knew that if the six Bofors Mountain Cannons could be provided with detailed firing parameter tables, that would be even more perfect.
If you want to realize that wish, you must pass the system task to complete it.
During the time of coming from the east, there were not many large-scale changes in Jin Province.
Of course, whether they were on the Japs side or on the Eighth Route Army side, they were all formulating different combat ideas.
