All departments should seize the time to rest and recuperate.
There had been a series of fierce battles just now, and all four regiments had suffered losses.
Although the Eighth Route Army has greatly improved in terms of weapons and equipment, it still has many shortcomings.
First of all, the training of soldiers is seriously insufficient.
The technical and tactical level is low.
Less than one-fifth of the soldiers understand the full set of tactical movements. That is, out of a hundred people, only twenty at most understand it.
Others basically master a few basic movements.
Such as crawling, lying down, shooting, dropping bombs, etc. Some people even have non-standard postures for crawling and lying down.
There are still people who only know Chong Chong Chong.
There is no way, I have never had the conditions to train before.
Until now, there is no formal training place. Everything is learned in actual combat.
Rely on the guidance of veterans.
There is no systematic training.
Secondly, it doesn’t pay much attention to strategy and tactics.
Like to get together.
Likes to rush forward in a swarm.
It is easy to be injured by artillery fire.
Objectively speaking, the command level of the officers can only be said to be average.
There is not even a command.
As soon as the gun fired, the officer himself was the first to rush forward.
The other warriors naturally followed suit and charged.
It was brave, but the casualties were huge. It caused many unnecessary casualties.
These cannot be changed overnight.
Relatively speaking, the training of the Japanese invaders was more systematic.
All Japanese invaders had received at least three years of training. Their technical and tactical levels were very high in all aspects.
The time now is May 1940.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers were still very abundant.
There are many soldiers who have received training.
Even the Japanese invaders had to select relatively outstanding soldiers to have a chance to participate in the war.
We are far from depleting our troops.
Li Yunlong now not only has to focus on combat command, but also pay close attention to troop training. The burden is very heavy.
Fortunately, he didn't have much time to pester Zhang Chu.
Otherwise, I guess even the missiles would want it.
"Zhang Chu!"
"Zhang Chu!"
Ding Wei came in a hurry.
He came specifically to see Zhang Chu.
"Captain Ding?"
"Come, follow me!"
Ding Weisheng forcefully pulled Zhang Chu into a new group.
There are already many people waiting for the new group.
One of them is Yang Junsheng, Yang Chenggang’s younger brother and Yang Xiuqin’s second brother.
Take a quick look and you will find that they are all elite.
Regardless of whether he is fat or thin, he is very tough. He looks like a veteran at first glance.
Many people have obvious marks on their foreheads, which are obviously caused by wearing military caps for a long time.
"Come!"
“Everyone warmly welcomes Staff Officer Zhang!”
"applaud!"
"Bah bang bang!"
"Bah bang bang!"
The applause was loud.
Zhang Chu:......
Yeah, it's definitely not good.
But he is not timid either. He will wait for the next chapter.
"Consultant Zhang!"
"Consultant Zhang!"
Everyone said hello one after another.
Zhang Chu returned the greetings one by one.
He said to Yang Junsheng: "I was just looking for you. I saw your brother."
"Really?" Yang Junsheng was surprised and asked, "Where is he?"
“Near Datong.”
"doing what?"
"They are preparing to besiege Datong and destroy the Japanese 26th Division."
"What?"
Everyone immediately became interested.
Even Ding Wei temporarily forgot what he wanted to do.
I just want to know about the war in the north.
Besieging a division of the Japanese invaders!
What a move!
Several groups of us fought back and forth, and the highest opponent was also the brigade group.
Everyone else has gone straight to the division level.
Awesome. Cowhide!
Zhang Chu then briefly described the war in the north.
This is not a military secret.
It's just that they were at the regimental level and didn't receive any briefing on the battle situation from their superiors.
"so smart……"
"Will they take Datong down?"
"Most likely! There are so many tanks! And howitzers!"
"The key is that the Japanese invaders have no reinforcements!"
"right!"
Everyone agreed.
The defenders of Datong were almost alone.
The Japanese invaders simply cannot mobilize more troops for reinforcements in the short term.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to put out a fire near by water far away.
Unlike around Pingan County, transportation is developed and Japanese reinforcements can arrive at any time.
Every time we fight, while encircling and annihilating the enemy, we must also pay great attention to the Japanese reinforcements. Once the Japanese reinforcements are out of control, the consequences will be serious.
"By the way, Captain Ding, what do you want from me?"
"We are also preparing to set up three commando teams. We want to find some weapons and equipment from you."
"you……"
Zhang Chu glanced around.
Understood.
Dare you tell me why they gathered here.
It turns out that they are all the elites of the New Second Regiment! It is estimated that many of them are transferred from the 28th Regiment of the Jizhong Military Region.
Yang Junsheng is an example.
He used to be the company commander of the 28th Regiment. Now he is at the battalion level?
"What title?"
"We don't play tricks. Red arrow, blue arrow, green arrow."
"knew."
Zhang Chu naturally had no objection.
With Li Yunlong's new group taking the lead, other groups will definitely follow suit.
It turns out that commandos have many uses.
Although they are not as elite as the Yamamoto Special Agents, they are still very capable in combat.
It will definitely come in handy at critical moments.
In the previous battle, it was the three commandos of the new regiment that resolutely suppressed the Japanese invaders' crazy attack.
At that time, I was really going crazy.
Fortunately, the commandos were there. Otherwise, the defense line would really collapse.
Ordinary troops will definitely not be able to hold on.
Although the casualties of the commando team are not small, as long as the foundation is still there, the commando team will be there. The spirit of the new regiment will be there.
Adding a wave of substitutes is still a strong move.
Ding Wei's vision is farther than Li Yunlong's. How could he not be moved?
Maybe the three commandos formed by this guy are even better and more powerful than Li Yunlong's.
"Commander Zhang, look at weapons and ammunition..."
It seems that there are still many people who know the goods.
They all decisively chose Soviet-made weapons. The first choice was Bobosha.
Except that playing the drum is not easy to master, Bobosha is really easy to use.
Fierce firepower.
Super lethal.
The accuracy is still high.
Definitely a weapon for killing devils.
The first choice for sniper rifles is SVT-40, semi-automatic, 10-round magazine, quadruple scope, effective range of 600 meters.
For the average sniper, 600 meters is enough.
In fact, at this time, no ultra-long-range snipers have appeared.
Shooting over 600 meters contains too much luck.
Even if it is the Mosin-Nagant rifle with the highest shooting accuracy, the sniper type, if it wants to hit a target 800 meters away, it depends on luck.
"And a helmet."
"helmet?"
"Yes. We want German-style steel helmets. The more, the better."
"etc."
Zhang Chu had to check it first.
I don’t think I have a steel helmet?
The system only has weapons and ammunition.
The steel helmet doesn't seem to be among them?
Sure enough, there were no helmets. Nothing of any kind.
"Sorry. No."
"Then... forget it."
Ding Wei felt a little regretful.
He wanted to issue helmets to the troops.
It's not distributed to the commandos. It's distributed to the entire New Second Regiment.
Others don't like steel helmets. But Ding Wei likes them.
The steel helmet can effectively prevent shrapnel and stray bullets. It can effectively protect the head.
Although it is said that if you are directly hit by a rifle bullet, there is no helmet of any kind. But, to put it another way, it can block everything except rifle bullets.
This way many people can be protected.
It's a pity that Zhang Chu didn't...
"etc!"
"etc!"
Zhang Chu suddenly said again.
But I found in the system that there is a military supplies store.
Selling military supplies.
In addition to weapons and ammunition, other military equipment seems to be available.
These include various types of helmets.
The United States, Britain, France, Germany, the Soviet Union, Japan, Italy...
Various specifications and styles are available.
You can buy in bulk. But there are no discounts.
How much does a German-style steel helmet cost? Fifteen yuan! It’s equivalent to a hand grenade.
Fortunately, the price is not expensive.
Then let’s get five thousand! It’s not expensive anyway.
It only cost 75,000 in total. It was worth it.
Buy.
Waiting for delivery.
This takes longer.
Because it is not in a hurry, the fastest you have to wait is 24 hours. The longest you may have to wait is 120 hours, which is five days.
what to do?
Can only wait.
"How many men do you have in each commando team?"
"220 people!"
"Well, do you want so many..."
Zhang Chu was speechless.
At first glance, it seemed that Captain Ding was trying to steal the limelight.
I want to overpower Li Yunlong.
Although our new second regiment’s commando team was only established later, we have so many people!
Your new commando group all has 180 people. We have 220 people, which is a full 40 more people. In battle, the extra 40 people can provide great fire support.
"We have many experts, and we can't accept the elimination of anyone. We have to have more people."
"knew."
Zhang Chuyan did not mean it.
I thought to myself, I believe you.
You, Captain Ding, are as cunning as Li Yunlong. Even more cunning than Li Yunlong.
There are so many benefits and no punishment at all.
It's a pity that he was also a major general in the end...
I really don’t understand. Why are he and Kong Jie both major generals?
Start preparing weapons.
All can be airdropped into place.
It just consumes a lot of upgrade points, especially for the Bobosha submachine gun.
A total of 500 Bobosha submachine guns have been upgraded.
There are also sixty SVT-40 semi-automatic sniper rifles.
There are also thirty DP-28 (Deggarev) light machine guns.
A total of 590 upgrade points were consumed.
He is starting to feel the pressure. He now has less than 3,000 upgrade points left.
