The Police Reconnaissance Battalion has an establishment of 460 people, with about 240 people left. After thinking for a long time, Liu Lang did not strengthen the infantry, but gave the expanded organization to the artillery battalion. He almost didn't receive Liu Lang's order and rushed to the regiment.
Battalion Commander Zhao Ergou of the Ministry was so happy that he had big yellow teeth.
What does pie in the sky mean? This is it.
The artillery battalion is no longer the small establishment it was during the Great Wall War. It has three artillery companies including a mountain artillery company, an anti-aircraft gun and mortar company, and a rocket launcher company. The official number of officers and men exceeds 400. In addition to the 300 men rationed during the war, the number is more than 700.
The strength of the soldiers almost exceeds that of the main 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, and the battalion commander of the 1st Independent Battalion is Liu Tuanzuo. In other words, who has the most soldiers in the Independent Regiment? Who is the commander of the battalion of Zhao?
Every time several infantry battalion commanders drink together, who shouts "Brother Ergou"? It seems that Battalion Commander Zhao is the first among several lieutenant colonels and below the rank of major.
Now, he is given an establishment of 240 people, and he commands thousands of brothers. If the organization is calculated according to the Japanese army, it is an artillery brigade! If it is included in the national army, it is not enough to be an artillery regiment.
, which is also most of the artillery regiment.
However, the new artillery battery composed of 240 people proposed by Liu Lang confused the artillery battalion commander.
What is an integrated mobile support artillery battery?
Not only is the name lofty, but the artillery with the largest number of people is not divided into categories as before. Instead, except for the slightly bulkier mountain cannon, the rest of the artillery that only independent regiments have, such as twin-mounted high-level and flat-type cannons.
There are machine guns, storm rocket launchers, and 82 mortars. It’s a complete hodgepodge. Doesn’t this increase the difficulty of logistical supply? All kinds of ammunition must be replenished, and all kinds of guns must be able to operate. This is definitely a problem for artillery soldiers.
A challenge.
And the most important thing is that the focus of this artillery company is not on "integration", but on maneuverability.
"This artillery company will have fifty three-bouncers and 300 pack horses. All personnel and equipment, including logistics supplies, are all mechanized. They can attack targets at any time and retreat at any time. If the terrain is limited, pack horses will be used, at least
The moving speed must not be less than 10 kilometers per hour. Normally, the pack horses are handled by strong men assigned by the logistics department." Liu Lang explained to Zhao Ergou.
Yes, in the mountains, the artillery battalion can use the characteristics of the reverse slope to deal with the Japanese 105 artillery, and can also use the characteristics of the mountain forest to cover the artillery position, even if the Japanese aircraft comes, it can hide. However, in Songhu
On this kind of plain, once the position is fixed, it is the way to death.
Because the artillerymen of the independent regiment may have to face not only the 105 and 150 howitzers, but also the Japanese naval guns. Once the location of the artillery is discovered by the Japanese frontline observers, it will be a disaster.
But it cannot be said that the artillery will not fire when there is a huge danger. Without artillery support, it is absolutely impossible for an independent regiment with only light weapons to withstand the Japanese attack, just like the National Army who entered Songhu one division after another. Their
The light firepower is not bad, especially for German weapon divisions like the 88th Division and the 87th Division. Each company has more than 9 light machine guns and mortars. The light firepower is definitely higher than that of the Japanese infantry squadrons, but they still suffered heavy casualties.
So Liu Lang racked his brains and came up with this trick. He took out some of the elite artillery battalions to form a comprehensive support artillery battery, all equipped with three bungees, which were suitable for driving in the flat fields in the south of the Yangtze River. Now it was
In autumn, there is no water in the rice fields, so it won't be much of a hindrance to the three-bouncer, which weighs only a few hundred kilograms. Even if it occasionally gets stuck, five good guys can push it and basically get out.
Even if you encounter a wetland and you can't use the three-bouncer, you can still use a packhorse. The main artillery of the independent regiment, the Storm Rocket Launcher, is not very heavy and can be dragged by a packhorse. Not to mention the 82 Force, with a total weight of 60 kilograms.
After dismantling the packhorse, you can carry it at a trot.
Of course, Liu Lang is more interested in the three-bouncer, which has greater transport capacity and can carry all soldiers, which can reach a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour.
If the frontline troops have any needs, the comprehensive artillery battery with rocket launchers, mortars and high-level anti-aircraft guns will maneuver to a suitable position, hit it with a round of artillery, and then drive away with three jumps. It can be regarded as a miniature version of the artillery battalion.
But it is much more maneuverable than the big guy like the artillery battalion.
Rocket launchers are used at long distances, and large-caliber mortars and machine guns are used at close range. The range of the comprehensive support artillery battery can be covered from 1,000 meters to 10,000 meters, and the transfer speed is extremely fast. There is no need to worry about being detected by Japanese artillery observers.
As a result, they were covered and attacked by the Japanese large-caliber heavy artillery. By the time their artillery shells arrived, the integrated artillery company had already run out for several miles.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that the Japanese planes have not arrived. However, Liu Lang looked at the sky. Who said that the sky in Songhu was already dominated by the Japanese?
"Wonderful! The regiment, this configuration is really great." Zhao Ergou also gradually understood what Liu Lang meant, and couldn't help but slap his thigh and said: "Then our artillery battalion, which is a very mobile artillery company, can do it."
After firing a few shots, I changed places to whet the appetite of the little Japanese artilleryman, letting him chase me but not being able to hit me. If I wasn't careful, dozens of shells would fly over and beat him up."
"Haha! Yes, that's what I mean." Liu Lang couldn't help laughing loudly: "The reason why this mobile comprehensive support artillery battery was specially selected is to maximize the mobility of this artillery battery and at the same time be able to attack our front line.
The heavy firepower of each department requires sufficient fire support. I just want to show the little devils that without the mountains, the artillery of my independent regiment can still make them hungry."
"Sir, I will mobilize the most elite forces to form this artillery battery and ensure the completion of the mission!" Zhao Ergou saluted excitedly and patted his chest to assure. "By the way, sir, the young brothers in my artillery battalion can also wear military uniforms from today on.
You have a military rank, right?"
"All able-bodied men will be awarded the rank of superior soldier. Those who perform well in peacetime and have served for more than four years can be awarded the rank of sergeant. Your artillery battalion will submit the personnel list to the regimental deputy in the past two days. Also, all able-bodied men will be officially naturalized and paid from
Starting from the time of the expedition last month, those who have already been paid the monthly salary for the strong men will be paid when the military salary is issued at the end of the month." Liu Lang said with a smile.
It’s not that the Independent Regiment has no money now, but it’s that they don’t dare to distribute it at will. Although the training and equipment of those strong men are the same as the regular army of the Independent Regiment. In wartime, just like the regular army, they have to risk their lives on the battlefield, but in terms of military pay
, but Liu Lang cannot be paid according to the regular army salary according to the establishment, then he will be caught and accused of secretly expanding the army. Otherwise, why should the strong men working as coolies receive the same military pay as the regular army.
If you want to get along well in this world, you can't just rely on the halo of the protagonist. Sometimes you still have to abide by the rules. Even if you build the plank road openly and covertly, you still have to repair the plank road on the surface. After all, the indigenous boss of this time and space
They possess great skills that are far more powerful than the protagonist's aura. If they are not careful, they will be instantly killed by the great skills.
Now that the big boss has spoken, the Ministry of Military Affairs will register it tomorrow. Liu Lang now has a staff of up to 5,000 people, so why don’t he give everyone the money to make up for it? Although Liu Lang also knows that the bald boss’s move is
Deliberately wooing him, Songhu is now in short supply of soldiers like Liu Lang who will scream and fight when they encounter the Japanese army.
Zhang Ruhao didn't come back until late at night. He and Liang Wenzhong brought a small 10,000 yuan to the ocean, but the steel plates they dragged back were less than a ton, which was far less than the needs of the independent regiment. In this case, it was Zhang Ruhao who was once a senior adviser to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.
The title was collected from everywhere.
It is wartime now, and materials such as steel plates are not only in short supply, but have also been taken back for military use. If the Independent Regiment had not had the aura of a great victory in Shanxi Province, Zhang Ruhao might not have been able to obtain these special items for fortifications just relying on old friendships.
steel plate.
Although he was a little frustrated, Zhang Ruhao was overjoyed by the information Liu Lang brought back. It is a trivial matter to pay double wages or not. Just as Liu Lang expected, what Zhang Ruhao was most excited about was the expansion of the independent group. It has 5,000 people.
The independent regiments no longer need to be hidden, but can openly and openly bring out five or six thousand troops to fight the Japanese army. There is no need to rack your brains to change the numbers of each battalion in the battle report. There are many smart people in the government, but
It's not something you can just fool around with.
Zhang Ruhao naturally had no objection to Liu Lang's arbitrary military order to add a police reconnaissance battalion and mobile comprehensive support artillery battery without waiting for his return. Since receiving a call from the red headquarters and knowing that Liu Lang was one of his own, Zhang Ruhao had no objection to his
The positioning has changed from a military chief officer to a political auxiliary officer. To put it bluntly, he is the political commissar in the red army.
In the military, Liu Lang has shown amazing talents. Unless Zhang Ruhao feels the need to remind him, he will not interfere too much in other military affairs. His main job now is to gather the hearts of the entire regiment's officers and soldiers and obey the orders of his superiors.
While establishing the leadership authority of Liu Lang, he also quietly spread the flame of red ideology through the ten red officers who were enriched into the independent regiment.
The two of them may not have talked like this for a long time, especially when they thought about heading to an unknown battlefield in the next few days. Liu Lang simply asked Sanchuan'er and Yao Shisan to notify the chief officers of the units directly under the regiment headquarters to come to the regiment headquarters to convey the expansion and independence.
Along with the news that the regiment was renamed the Zhongshan Independent Regiment, it was also a time to discuss each other's thoughts on entering the Songhu battlefield, and to unify their thoughts before the war.
Although it was already past 1 o'clock in the morning, these chief officials arrived very quickly. It was obvious that they were a little nervous about the upcoming war, and few of them were so worried that they fell asleep soundly. They were no longer the "willing to give up" like they used to be.
The emperor was dismounted from his horse, his head was scarred as big as a bowl's lip, and he became a hero again after eighteen years. Each of them commanded at least hundreds of brothers, and every battle order was followed.
The lives of dozens or even hundreds of brothers are at stake.
While the head determines the position under the buttocks, that position also determines the head.
Of course, since it was not a formal military meeting, Ling Hong brought braised pork and Zhao Ergou brought wine. Seeing the situation, Liu Lang simply asked two orderlies to go to the logistics department and ask for an iron pot.
I bought some meat and cabbage and made a pot of Northeastern stew on the spot, and also donated a few packs of cigarettes I had stored in Sanchuan'er.
A group of school-level officers sat around and talked freely over pots, drinks and cigarettes. The unified thought meeting turned into a bragging and spanking tea party for a bunch of officers.
This kind of atmosphere cannot be said to be a good thing. At least in Liu Lang's view, it is much better than a large group of military officers sitting in front of the conference table with their clothes in danger and talking about military deployment. In the face of a super-large-scale battle like Songhu, the so-called
The tactical layout is very imaginary, just one word "go".
Courage is more important than anything else at this moment.
Liu Lang could not decide the changes of the headquarters in the entire Songhu strategic layout. He could only do his best. If the terrifying battlefield created by the millions of troops on both sides of the entire Songhu battlefield was a super monster Godzilla, then the independent group
Five or six thousand people are equivalent to one small bee at most.
But a bee, even if it shoots out the only sting in its tail and will die, no one dares to ignore it.
Because, once stabbed, it hurts to the core.
