806 Building an art troupe—the rise of the four independent troupes
…wait.
Waiting for a batch of equipment to arrive.
News of Kong Jie's reply reached the headquarters of the Fourth Independent Regiment.
The four battalion commanders including Wang Huaibao and Han Feng, the commander of the Fourth Independent Regiment, also looked shocked.
Can a batch of equipment change Zhongtiao Mountain’s current disadvantage in the war against Japan?
The situation is urgent and time is the most precious.
By the time the Japs implemented the policy of merging and establishing villages, all the villages in the major guerrilla zones were completely occupied by the Japs.
The Fourth Independent League has completely lost its popular base.
In addition, the land in Zhongtiao Mountain is barren. Even if the Japanese do not launch a raid, just because of the shortage of logistics, they may be able to bring down the Fourth Independent Regiment.
It’s no wonder that Wang Huaibao, Han Feng and his party didn’t understand what Kong Jie meant by this move.
But out of the absolute trust in the old leader Kong Jie over the years.
After Kong Jie's news was delivered, Wang Huaibao had no doubts and immediately made temporary arrangements:
Continue to focus on raids and harassment to delay the spread of the Japanese army's Bingtun villages to the Fourth Regiment base area.
……
15th.
A transportation team composed of more than 200 people was responsible for transporting a batch of equipment that Kong Jie promised to send to the Fourth Independent Regiment of Zhongtiao Mountain, and secretly rushed to the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
Accompanying them along the way to protect and be sent to Zhongtiao Mountain to support the operation were Duan Peng and forty commandos.
Headquarters.
Kong Jie's explanation to Duan Peng came to an end, "...the above are the tactics to deal with the crisis in Zhongtiao Mountain, Duan Peng, have you written them down?"
Duan Peng nodded, "Don't worry, captain, I've written it all down."
During the in-depth discussion, Kong Jie used the combat simulation sandbox in the Zhongtiao Mountain area to deduce with Duan Peng various possibilities for the evolution of the battle situation in the subsequent battle between the Fourth Independent Regiment and the Japanese army.
In the end, according to his own plan, he explained to Duan Peng his policy of dealing with the Japanese army's merger and settlement, as well as the Japanese army's strategy of gradually encroaching on the big sweep.
Duan Peng naturally also learned about the crisis situation in Zhongtiao Mountain.
And I admire the tactics proposed by the regiment leader Kong Jie.
In Duan Peng's view, if the team leader's command and deployment is followed this time, the crisis in Zhongtiao Mountain can definitely be solved.
……
On the 18th.
For nearly three days, the transport team used the most elite commandos of the independent regiment as special guards to avoid multiple blockades by the Japanese army.
Walking day and night.
Finally arrived at the Zhongtiao Mountain area successfully.
After learning the news, Wang Huaibao took Han Feng and led the main force of the fourth battalion to the predetermined location to meet the transportation team.
According to the news from the headquarters.
The reply of the old regiment leader Kong Jie was just one sentence: "The opportunity to solve the crisis in the Zhongtiao Mountain battle lies in this batch of equipment. As for the specific tactics, I have relayed them to Duan Peng in detail.
After Duan Peng and the transport team arrive at Zhongtiao Mountain, the crisis in the situation in Zhongtiao Mountain will naturally be resolved smoothly."
This reply, in Wang Huaibao's understanding: "The old regiment leader's confidence in this battle stems from the tactics he personally set.
The second seems to be from this batch of transported equipment.
Then let’s take a closer look and see what equipment our parents’ family has given us this time!”
At this time, nearly a week had passed since Wang Huaibao initially contacted the detachment headquarters to deal with the predicament in Zhongtiao Mountain.
Wang Huaibao also heard that Kong Jie seemed to be waiting for this batch of equipment this week.
After successfully meeting the transportation team, the two parties officially met.
The team of more than 200 used a large amount of equipment transported by mules and carriages, all covered with oilcloth, which deeply aroused Wang Huaibao's curiosity.
So after a brief greeting with Duan Peng, Wang Huaibao asked directly: "Duan Peng, what kind of equipment did the old regiment leader send us this time?
It’s become so mysterious that even now the old group leader hasn’t told me the truth.”
Duan Peng said with a smile: "When the transport team came this time, the detachment leader made special instructions to ensure that this batch of equipment is foolproof no matter what.
Therefore, our transportation team came here by day and night. We also chose mule and horse-drawn carriages with the least movement. We did not even use mechanized transportation vehicles.
They would rather take a long way around to avoid the Japanese blockade and avoid being exposed.
Therefore, it took three days and three nights to deliver this batch of equipment.
As for what this batch of equipment is, Commander Fourth, you’d better go and see for yourself!”
Duan Peng said with a mysterious face.
Wang Huaibao, Han Feng and other cadres of the Fourth Independent Regiment could no longer resist their curiosity and immediately rushed towards the mule and carriage pulled by the transport team.
Han Feng, who was the first to rush over, lifted off the tarpaulin covering the first carriage.
Just take one look at it and you will never be able to look away.
Good guy!
Brand new M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles.
They were piled neatly on the carriage.
Counting them at a glance, this carriage alone must have pulled at least nearly 300 guns.
These American-made semi-automatic rifles.
Regarding the actual combat effectiveness, Han Feng and the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion of the Fourth Independent Regiment led by him have the best say.
At the beginning, the Fourth Independent Regiment had not yet arrived at Zhongtiao Mountain, and there was mainly a company of the Independent Regiment led by Han Feng in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
In addition, two companies from the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment formed three mountain companies to contain the Japanese army.
Kong Jie specially built the most elite equipment for the mountain company for this purpose.
Almost all of the first batch of Garand rifles obtained from John were sent to the mountain company.
In the actual confrontation in the mountains, the soldiers of the mountain company truly realized the terrifying power of this beautiful semi-automatic rifle and the complete suppression of the Japanese Type 38 rifle.
Han Feng said with his own emotion: "When our equipment was backward and ammunition was scarce, a Japanese team was actually equivalent to our platoon, but we were a company, and we were not necessarily their opponents.
If it's a positional battle, a battalion may not be able to match the firepower of a Japanese squad.
Later, our equipment gradually developed.
With the same strength, we can basically draw with the Japs. If we engage in ambush battles and sneak attack battles, we can suppress the same number of Japanese troops.
Wait until our mountain company is equipped with American-made semi-automatic rifles.
We can even hit more with less. A conventional combat company can even directly severely damage a Japanese squadron. If we make use of the terrain and terrain, and use proper tactics, it is not difficult to annihilate a Japanese squadron with twice the strength of our team. This is the absolute advantage brought about by crushing equipment.
We use the semi-automatic rifles on hand to significantly increase the rate of fire. Through the familiar use of Garand rifle combat squads, the firepower of one squad can even be equal to half a squad of Japanese soldiers.
This Garand rifle has a high rate of fire, great power, and good accuracy.
Often after the little devil fired a shot, the soldiers would immediately pull the trigger before he could even pull the bolt."
Semi-automatic rifles have a clear advantage in combat against bolt-action rifles such as the Sanba Dagai.
Later, Wang Huaibao led the Fourth Independent Regiment to reinforce behind Zhongtiao Mountain according to Kong Jie's order.
The first battalion of the original Fourth Regiment was the well-deserved main battalion of the Fourth Regiment.
Han Feng was originally the company commander who led the mountain company, and was the deputy company commander when he was in the independent regiment.
As a result, the three mountain companies were merged into the Fourth Independent Regiment and became the Fourth Battalion of the Independent Fourth Regiment.
It didn’t take long before everyone, from the commander Wang Huaibao to the soldiers of the 123rd Battalion of the 4th Independent Regiment, recognized the fact:
The newly merged Fourth Battalion is the well-deserved first main battalion of the Fourth Regiment.
No way.
They are well-equipped with almost all Garand semi-automatic rifles, and are also equipped with a considerable number of M1 60 mortars.
Moreover, the soldiers of the mountain company have already become accustomed to the application of these American equipment in their long-term battles with the Japanese army.
In addition, since the mountain company entered Zhongtiao Mountain, it has accumulated a lot of experience in mountain operations in continuous operations against Japan.
After entering the Fourth Independent Regiment.
After several battles with the Japanese army, including against the Japanese Kwantung Army brigade.
The four battalions led by Han Feng were the most outstanding among the four battalions of the Fourth Independent Regiment.
They all carry one head on two shoulders.
The original three veteran battalion commanders of the Fourth Independent Regiment were naturally unwilling to do so.
But there is nothing we can do.
In the jealous words of a battalion commander: "Who makes four battalions so good? There are hundreds of people in the battalion, and almost everyone has a semi-automatic rifle.
How can this be compared to the bolt-action rifles we have?"
... Just like that, when the first battalion commander, the second battalion commander, the third battalion commander and other three battalion commanders came forward and saw what equipment was pulled under the tarp, their eyes widened and they were stunned.
On the spot.
"Regiment, commander, am I right? They are all American semi-automatic rifles?" The first battalion commander rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
The breathing of the second and third battalion commanders became rapid.
The two battalion commanders pushed Han Feng, the fourth battalion commander, behind them.
The commander of the third battalion said with a look of embarrassment: "Let me tell you, Old Han, basically each of your four battalions has a Garand.
Obviously, the semi-automatic rifles sent by my parents this time are for our other three battalions.
Why don’t you kid join in the fun?"
Han Fengle said: "Third Battalion Commander, you are wrong to say that. We just saw the equipment pulled by the first carriage. It can't be that the next carriages are all Garand rifles, right?
The good things are definitely yet to come, and I have a share of the Fourth Battalion."
The first battalion commander, second battalion commander, and third battalion commander who suddenly came to their senses quickly continued to explore the carriage behind.
The second car, the third car... were opened, and there was still a car of brand-new M1 Garand rifles.
When the fifth vehicle was opened, the commander of the third battalion exclaimed: "Sixty-zero mortar, dear, the old regiment commander has sent this artifact to us!"
Then I looked back and saw that several battalion commanders were extremely satisfied with what they saw.
M1 Garand automatic rifle.
M2 type 60 mortar.
Browning light and heavy machine guns...including several American-made Springfield sniper rifles.
Plus some auxiliary equipment, such as night vision goggles, sights, telescopes, walkie-talkies, small radio stations, etc.
The soldiers of the Fourth Regiment were stunned to see this series of sophisticated equipment.
……
In addition, there is also the latest M3 Gad submachine gun built by the arms production company behind John.
This batch of submachine guns is almost the first batch of M3 submachine guns in the world, and the Fourth Independent Regiment was the first to use this new type of submachine gun.
From the commander of the Fourth Independent Regiment, Wang Huaibao, to the soldiers who came to support them this time, they were all speechless after realizing the sophistication of this batch of equipment.
Duan Peng also introduced the equipment sent this time to the cadres of the Fourth Regiment.
Looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of the cadres of the Fourth Regiment, Duan Peng looked calm and calm.
There is a saying: Look at you country bumpkins, Duan Peng is as stable as an old dog.
But in fact, when I was in the independent regiment, I successfully transported this batch of American equipment to the base area.
When he saw these American equipment for the first time and listened to Kong Jie's introduction, Duan Peng's mouth was so open that he could almost fit a fist into it.
It’s really technology that limits Duan Peng’s imagination of arms and equipment.
Continuous-fire rifles, mortars that can be carried and run away, submachine guns with an astonishing rate of fire, and sniper rifles that kill from long distances.
Duan Peng had never thought that such murderous weapons and equipment could be so sophisticated.
After finally calming down, Wang Huaibao remembered to ask Duan Peng: "We can't even think about all this American equipment. Duan Peng, where did the old regiment leader get this equipment?"<
/p>
Duan Peng said: "This is the method of our detachment leader, I don't know the details.
But the detachment leader said something about this batch of equipment."
"What are you talking about?"
"...Look at what you are doing each and every one of you. Aren't you just buying some fine art equipment? This is where you are..."
"You mean there will be more sophisticated American equipment later?" Wang Huaibao asked with a shocked look on his face.
The ability of the old leader Kong Jie really refreshed his knowledge time and time again.
Duan Peng smiled and said: "I don't know that."
"However, when I came here this time, the detachment leader asked me to bring a message to the fourth regiment leader."
"What words?"
"The detachment leader said that the Fourth Regiment was the first fine art regiment he built. If it fails to perform well in the battle against Japan at Zhongtiao Mountain..."
"Then I might as well go home and farm!" Wang Huaibao interrupted Duan Peng's words, and said confidently: "With this batch of equipment, how can we still be a little devil?"
"Comrades, we have to let our old regiment leader take a closer look. No matter how sophisticated the equipment is in our hands, it can still exert its corresponding power."
"Do you think so?"
The cadres immediately responded with a smile, and then helped the transport team transport this batch of American equipment.
Soon, this batch of equipment successfully arrived at the base area established by the Fourth Independent Regiment in the Zhongtiao Mountains.
Equipment was also quickly distributed to the troops under Wang Huaibao's arrangement.
Kong Jie, who has invested a lot of money, sent a lot of American equipment this time.
In Kong Jie’s words, create an art troupe.
You really mean what you say.
After the entire regiment was equipped, the soldiers looked at each other wearing all American equipment.
With a silly smile on his face, his eyes almost disappeared from laughter.
Provisional Headquarters of the Fourth Regiment.
After being equipped with sophisticated American equipment, the increasingly confident cadres of the fourth regiment at company level and above rushed to the headquarters to discuss the plan to deal with the Japanese army.
After all the cadres arrived, Wang Huaibao said directly:
"Comrades, do you like the equipment our parents' family sent us?"
"Like——"
The cadres responded with a smile one by one.
"Let me tell you, even if we reach Zhongtiao Mountain, the old regiment leader will never forget our fourth regiment."
"This time, in addition to the equipment he sent, the old regiment leader also asked Duan Peng to bring us tips and tricks to deal with the crisis in Zhongtiao Mountain."
"Our old regiment leader, it's like Zhuge Liang is still alive. He has his clever tricks. Isn't it easy to deal with the little devil this time?"
"Okay, Duan Peng, stop being so pretentious and quickly tell the old regiment leader your battle plan and explain it to everyone in detail!"
