When Zhao Gang received the establishment list from Wang Xuexin, he was a little confused. He handed it to Li Yunlong and asked: "Old Li, take a look, is there anything wrong with this establishment?"
Zhao Gang has been in the army for some years, and he knows that the organization cannot be made up randomly and just say how to organize and fight. It must be organized according to the actual situation of the army, so that it can be easily commanded in war.
Although Li Yunlong is illiterate, he can understand "one battalion", "one company" and other numbers.
He took the establishment list and looked at it, and said unexpectedly: "Damn Xiao Dongbei, who is usually very quiet, but I didn't expect that he is also an expert in this area!"
Zhao Gang found it strange when he heard it and asked: "Usually, our army doesn't organize the firepower platoon or firepower squad to the company level? Xiaodongbei organizes it to the battalion level. Is this appropriate?"
No wonder Zhao Gang asked this question.
Arranging firepower at the company level can improve response capabilities during wartime.
For example, if a certain platoon's rocket launcher is knocked out, the company commander can directly mobilize the fire squad or fire platoon for reinforcements.
However, Xiaodongbei has set up its firepower platoon at the battalion level, so that once a platoon's rocket launchers are knocked out and they want to reinforce or fill the gap, there will be such a process: the platoon leader reports to the company commander, and the company commander reports to the battalion commander.
The battalion commander then sent out the fire squad for reinforcements.
The Eighth Route Army's communications are very backward. When companies go out to fight, they may not be able to find each other, let alone the battalion headquarters. How will they report and dispatch reinforcements then?
Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong replied without thinking: "It's appropriate, why isn't it appropriate?"
Looking at the confused Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong shook the organization list in his hand and explained: "Old Zhao, you don't understand this. We usually fight Japanese infantry, so of course the fire platoon must be organized to the company level. But
Now we are going to fight Japanese tanks, how can we still do this?"
Zhao Gang said "Oh" and understood.
What Li Yunlong said is correct. Different situations require different analysis.
In the past, the mission was anti-infantry, and operations were based on companies. Of course, the fire platoon had to be organized at the company level.
But if the main task of the army becomes anti-tank, the battle should be conducted in battalion units... The company-level units of the Eighth Route Army lack firepower and cannot stop the advance of enemy tanks.
Therefore, it is right for Xiaodongbei to add the anti-tank fire platoon to the battalion level. The six rocket launchers used for anti-tank will be uniformly dispatched and commanded by the battalion commander, so that they can better cooperate with each other.
If these six rocket launchers were disassembled into two rocket launchers for each company, it would be inappropriate for each company's first-level commanders to do their own thing.
Then Zhao Gang asked again: "Old Li, what should we do about the selection? People from all the battalions are crazy about it, and they all say they want to join the fire team!"
Li Yunlong replied without thinking: "What else can we do? Let Xiao Dongbei choose on his own, but we must make an agreement with Xiao Dongbei first, and we can't favor our own troops!"
Not to mention, Li Yunlong guessed it right, and Wang Xuexin ran into this trouble.
As soon as Li Yunlong gave the order, the commander of the third battalion, Guan Dashan, immediately found Wang Xuexin.
"I'm talking about Xiaodongbei!" Guan Dashan patted Wang Xuexin on the shoulder and said, "You have become an instructor this time, but the staff is still in our third battalion. Is there anything good that can be left to our third battalion?"
At this time, Wang Xuexin was organizing Daniel and other guards to make models of rocket launchers. The training could not allow the soldiers to carry real rocket launchers. The Eighth Route Army could not withstand such a torment.
After hearing what Guan Dashan said, Wang Xuexin replied awkwardly: "Batalion Commander, this is not something I can decide..."
"Why can't you decide?" Guan Dashan interrupted Wang Xuexin: "The leader has given an order, asking you to pick people!"
Wang Xuexin had no choice but to explain patiently: "Battal Commander, you see...the regimental commander's selection of people is about training. But there are not many people who have trained rocket launchers, so what's the use?"
When Guan Dashan heard this, he seemed right.
Moreover, if this person is trained too much and there is a shortage in other camps, the person may have to be transferred away. Not only will he not get any benefits, but he will also have to pay back!
However, Guan Dashan was unwilling to give in. He waved his hand and said, "Xiao Dongbei, I don't care about this mess. You must leave some benefits for us no matter what, right?"
Wang Xuexin was helpless. He looked around and then whispered: "Batalion Commander, how about... I secretly bring a few more rockets to our battalion? Do you want to fight infantry or tanks?"
Guan Dashan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "I definitely want to fight tanks, give me ten rounds!"
Wang Xuexin's face froze instantly. If this was ten rounds, do you think I run the arsenal?
In terms of selecting people, Wang Xuexin mainly focuses on physical fitness.
After all, no one has ever played with a rocket launcher, and I don’t know who is suitable and who is not, so I have to choose someone who is strong, can run, and can dig.
The reason for being strong is to be able to carry rocket launchers and rocket grenades: the rocket launcher weighs more than ten kilograms, each anti-tank rocket weighs more than four kilograms, and the anti-infantry warhead weighs six kilograms because it is equipped with steel balls.
If you carry a few rounds of ammunition and hang it on your body, it will weigh dozens of kilograms. In addition, plus its own ammunition and equipment, it is not something that ordinary people can carry.
Needless to say, if you can run, you have to carry these equipment while marching and fighting. It will definitely not work if you are out of breath after running for several miles.
As for being able to dig... Wang Xuexin's tactics require bazooka shooters to dig out a shooting bunker in a short time, otherwise it will be difficult for the bazooka shooters to survive, let alone anti-tank.
In these aspects, Wang Xuexin has higher requirements for several anti-tank fire platoons.
Because it is obvious that the anti-tank fire platoon is used to fight tanks, so psychological quality, digging fortifications, etc. are all mandatory requirements.
As for being assigned to platoons and battalion headquarters, the regiment headquarters is mainly for cooperating with the soldiers in combat, just in case, so that's pretty much it.
According to the last calculation, the actual high requirements are only 4 anti-tank fire platoons with a total of 24 rocket launchers, which is 48 people.
Wang Xuexin made up his mind to hold a "competition" to test the competition. The event was to run with a heavy load and then dig trenches. The fifty best people would be recruited as members of the anti-tank team.
Originally, Wang Xuexin thought that at this time, most of the Eighth Route Army troops were in a state of malnutrition for a long time, so he could not place too high demands on them. However, unexpectedly, Wang Xuexin was surprised when they started running. Each one of them was carrying a rocket launcher model and ran very fast. You can catch up.
I drove you away, and immediately dug trenches in full swing when we arrived at the edge of the field.
Wang Xuexin looked at it and didn't understand what was going on, until Li Yunlong, who came to watch the selection, complained: "I said Xiaodongbei, can you have a difficult martial arts competition? Either running with something on your back or digging trenches, you think
How little work have we done growing crops?"
When Wang Xuexin said this, he understood.
The Eighth Route Army was indeed malnourished, but they were still doing these things.
Look at all the homebodies in modern times who are well-nourished, but who doesn’t have to hold on to the wall to catch their breath for a while after running a few hundred meters?
