Chapter 118 There is something wrong with this comrade!

"Fortification construction requires not only speed, but also quality assurance. Once problems are discovered, they must be reworked immediately. This is related to the lives of our regiment's soldiers."

"The machine guns must be arranged crosswise, and the firing lines must not be parallel."

"The heavy machine gun position must be set up on top, and the transfer route must be prepared in advance. The transfer must be rehearsed several times. The grenade of the little devil has eyes."

“···”

On the top of an unnamed mountain twenty kilometers away from Yangcun, Li Yunlong was inspecting the fortifications here.

In Cangyunling and Huangshupo, in every battle with the Japanese in the past, one of the important reasons why Li Yunlong and the troops under his command were able to achieve many results was his proficiency and emphasis on fortification construction.

In February, when the superiors ordered the New Regiment to block the Bantian Regiment, they only had half a day left for the New Regiment to switch offense and defense. However, Li Yunlong and the New Regiment still built a complete defense system and deployed mines on the front line.

field.

At this time, another half a year had passed, and Li Yunlong's understanding of fortifications had improved to a higher level after being exposed to some military concepts from Mo Fan.

"yes."

The salute of a company commander in charge of fortification supervision should be.

After inspecting the positions, the group rode back to the Yangcun regiment headquarters. Li Yunlong did not rest, and immediately spread out the fortification map around Yangcun drawn by the staff and fell into deep thought.

After looking at it for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote and drew on a blank piece of paper.

"Old Li, you're back from the battlefield."

At this time, Zhao Gang walked in and said hello to Li Yunlong.

Behind him, Ding Wei followed.

For the sake of the Taye Regiment, the new regiment was temporarily under the command of Li Yunlong. Ding Wei had nothing to do, so he took the military books collected by the system uncle and read them carefully.

"Old Zhao, Old Ding, you are here just in time. I am thinking about something. You can also help me with my advice."

Li Yunlong suddenly raised his head and said.

"What's up?"

Ding Wei put down the book in his hand.

"I made a statistics on the battles of the first battalion in the past six months."

Li Yunlong said:

"Our standard battalion of 550 people has 27 Czech machine guns and more than 300 98K rifles."

"A rifle is more than ten times more powerful than a light machine gun."

"In actual combat, if calculated based on the number of bullets projected, more than 300 Mauser 98K and 27 Czech machine guns are the same, and both sides shoot out the same number of bullets."

"But in fact, the Czech style killed more than four times as many Japs as the rifle."

"Of course."

Ding Wei answered and said:

"The light machine gun can fire continuously, can quickly change magazines, and has a bipod, so it has strong firepower, strong sustainability, high shooting accuracy, flexible response, and wide suppression range."

"On the battlefield, one machine gun can easily suppress more than ten rifles."

"The advantage of a rifle compared to a machine gun is actually the accuracy of long-distance shooting. Single-shot shooting by pulling the bolt makes the 98K's theoretical accuracy much higher than the Czech type at long distances."

"Although machine gunners have high requirements, in fact, an elite rifleman who can fully utilize the capabilities of a rifle on the battlefield is more demanding than machine gunners. The entire new regiment can only produce a dozen or so."

"Don't talk about us, the Japanese, not even the European and American powers have this capability."

"In fact, rifles are more of a supplement to the firepower of machine guns. They are usually fired in groups under the command of the squad leader to achieve a suppressive effect. The results are naturally far inferior to those of machine guns."

"so···"

Li Yunlong smiled and said:

"I was just wondering if we could issue more machine guns to the troops?"

"Our independent regiment has a fighter gun team of three people, the first and second shooters, and the ammunition hand. We now have ten people in a squad, and we can fully equip two machine guns."

"Even three, four, or five machine guns will do."

"The machine gun team can be compressed to two people, or even one person. During defensive battles, ammunition can be sent up from the rear or stored in the fortifications. There is no need for an ammunition hand at all."

"It's indeed possible."

Ding Wei was stunned. At first, he thought Li Yunlong was just showing off his recently improved cultural level:

"However, in this case, the ammunition consumption will probably double, triple or even quadruple."

"We don't have that many qualified machine gunners. We just replace the rifles in the hands of soldiers with machine guns. Even veterans who are more than a year old will easily lose control of their ammunition consumption at the beginning."

"I think it's okay."

Zhao Gang immediately agreed.

Ding Wei didn't know about Boss Mo's bullet reimbursement, but Zhao Gang knew it very well.

Bullet consumption increased?

no problem!

When the Independent Group kills three thousand Japanese, Boss Mo will reimburse all the bullets and grenades consumed by the Independent Group, regardless of the type of bullets.

Boss Mo made it very clear that as long as there is no malicious waste, no matter how many bullets are used, they can be reimbursed.

"Hey hey hey..."

Li Yunlong chuckled:

"Then it's agreed that our three regiments will first increase the number of machine guns in each infantry squad to two. As for the issue of bullet carrying, each of our companies has a transport squad equipped with Pelton horses, so there is no problem."

"Then, form a specialized strengthened machine gun company, all equipped with machine guns, in teams of two, and the whole company is equipped with 80 machine guns. During combat, they can be dispersed among each battalion to strengthen their firepower."

"I will provide the machine guns for the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment. Let's train them first. From now on, the bullet consumption will be mine."

"Old Ding, you should talk to Lao Kong when the time comes."

The new second regiment has not been established for a long time, so Kong Jie has been very busy recently. He has been training the troops and spends almost all his meals and accommodation with the entire regiment.

Machine gun company...

A company of eighty machine guns...

Ding Wei's mouth twitched, but he did not continue to object.

Since both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang agreed, explaining that the bullet issue was not actually a problem, he would not say more.

and··

Doubling the number of machine guns is a good thing except that the bullet consumption will increase.

It's a great thing!

···

In the sky, the sound of propellers passed by, and soon after, a plane flew over at a low altitude of 400 meters above the ground, and the plaster flags on the wings were clearly visible.

Under the wings of the plane, there is the rugged and complex mountainous area of ​​southeastern Shanxi, with rolling hillsides, thousands of ravines, and endless ravines as far as the eye can see.

"This little son of a bitch, if you have the guts, fly a little lower..."

On an independent regiment position seventeen kilometers away from Yangcun, a machine gunner held a Czech gun in one hand and gave a thumbs up with the other hand. He stared at the Japanese plane above his head, bared his teeth and cursed.

"When you have the strength, dig trenches."

Looking at the machine gunner in his squad, Japanese spy No. 1 frowned.

It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with the machine gunners being lazy and not digging trenches.

In fact, as a Japanese spy, he wished that the Tubal Road collective was lazy and did not dig trenches, or was sneaky and cut corners, causing the trenches to collapse with grenades.

But this is obviously impossible.

The independent regiment's civil fortifications were reasonably designed. Although there were no cement or steel bars, Tubal Road did not know where they got a large amount of fir wood. The materials used were very strong. Even he had to admit that they were probably not inferior to the Locust Army garrison.

What really made him frown was the machine gunner.

And some situations he discovered in recent battles.

The infantry squad he led had a total of ten people. Nine of them, including him, all came out of the new barracks. Half were from the previous preserved fruit troops, and the other half were soldiers recruited from the local area three months ago.

But this machine gunner was different. He was transferred directly into their squad from the battalion headquarters and had previously served in a heavy machine gun company.

Although there is a candied front machine gunner in their squad.

According to what he learned during this time, this machine gunner who was directly transferred from the battalion headquarters was twenty years old. He had never read a book. He was born in a small village near Yangcun. He had never read a book and had been farming with his parents since he was a child.

As of today, it has been eleven months since I joined Tubalu.

Although in the Locust Army, he can only be regarded as a new recruit with only eleven months of service, but in Tubal Road, he is already considered a veteran, and it is said that he has participated in thirteen actual battles.
To be continued...
