Chapter four hundred and seventy-fifth new preparation
"I'm looking at what I'm looking at. Do you think I don't know about your little thoughts?" Commander Nie scolded without hesitation.
An awkward smile appeared directly on Commander Yang's face.
The captains of your detachment who were having a heated argument just now also stopped and looked at Commander Nie with guilty expressions on their faces.
"Do you think I don't know? You are all interested in the heavy mortars I asked the military region arsenal to send over."
"To tell you the truth, after these mortars finish fighting this battle, I was originally going to stay in your First Military Division. So, there is no need for you to go through a lot of troublesome exercises here to show me! But, I have a request.
!”
"In order to win this battle, the Second Division, the Third Division, the Fourth Division, and other Eighth Route Army units have sent a large number of troops to provide reinforcements and create opportunities for us to completely annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops. Now that the battle is over, you cannot get all the benefits.
Get it in one section!”
"In terms of light weapons, after each regiment and each detachment has replaced the lost equipment, I will take away all the remaining ammunition. The same goes for ammunition. It will be distributed according to the standard of fifty rounds of ammunition per person. I will take away all the remaining ammunition!
"
"No problem, Commander!" Commander Yang replied immediately.
In fact, there was something he had not said in his heart: As long as the military region could keep the heavy artillery battalion, he would be willing to take away all the captured light weapons.
In his opinion, as long as the Japanese and puppet troops did not finish fighting for a day, they could continuously seize weapons from the Japanese.
But the heavy mortars of the heavy artillery battalion are different. No one except the military region has them.
Seeing Commander Yang's happy face, as if the 27 heavy mortars belonged to him, Commander Nie continued to speak.
"Don't be too happy yet. That little light weapon can't be replaced by a heavy artillery battalion!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops we wiped out were not only equipped with a lot of mortars and infantry guns, but also a lot of mountain artillery and field artillery. It seems that most of them were captured. In addition, before the war, your first division also equipped a lot of them.
The scale of infantry artillery and mountain field artillery, as well as the artillery for regiment, brigade, and military division-level units in the military region has been determined. Since you want to keep the heavy mortars, I can agree, but the scale and organization of the artillery in a division must be in accordance with the military region’s
Come on, hand over all the extra artillery."
"The other troops suffered a lot of casualties in order to cooperate with us. If you are eating meat in one section, you should give them some soup!"
This time, Commander Yang was not so cheerful and asked hesitantly: "Commander, what is the establishment size established by the military region?"
Commander Nie did not hide anything! He introduced it very readily: "The regiment is directly under a medium-sized mortar company, with a total of nine captured Japanese 81mm mortars. In addition, there is an infantry artillery platoon directly under the regiment, equipped with two Type 92 infantry guns.
Artillery. In this way, when our regiment fights against a Japanese field infantry brigade, at least we will not suffer in terms of heavy firepower!"
"The brigade or brigade-level detachment is directly under an artillery battalion, including a heavy mortar company with a total of nine 120 mm caliber heavy mortars. A mountain artillery company with a total of six mountain cannons, and a thunder cannon company with a total of 9 aircraft
Thunder cannon!”
"The reason why such an artillery battalion is mixed is that you are all veterans and you should be able to see it!"
"Whether it is a heavy mortar, a mine cannon, or a mountain cannon, it can be dismantled and transported directly by mules and horses, and it can go anywhere without many requirements on the terrain. This is the only way for us to fight mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare.
There’s no downside to the upside!”
"Also, mountain artillery is mainly fortification artillery. The power of heavy mortars is mainly displayed on the field battlefield. As for the thunder cannon, although its range is very short, it is very effective in dealing with the Japanese permanent fortifications and killing the Japanese at close range!"
Seeing everyone nodding in approval, Commander Nie continued: "The next step is the military division. Because we have a limited number of artillery pieces, we will temporarily set up an independent field artillery battalion. When we have artillery in the future, we will expand it into a regiment."
"However, whether it is a field artillery battalion or a field artillery regiment, they can only participate in the war when they encounter large-scale battles."
"The field artillery is too heavy. With the current conditions of our Eighth Route Army, transportation alone is enough to give us a headache!"
After saying that, Commander Nie's eyes patrolled back and forth among several cadres in the first division, and then asked: "How about it, do you agree to the request I just made? As long as you agree, I will keep the heavy artillery battalion, and the others will come up."
I’ll take away the artillery!”
"In addition, you are all senior cadres of our Eighth Route Army. I can also let you know some things, so that you will be more confident in future wars!"
Having said this, Commander Nie directly turned his attention to Wang Ping beside him: "You all know Wang Ping. You are from the first division. After being appointed as the director of the arsenal, you were ordered to set up the arsenal. Now let him inform you about the current situation of the arsenal.
The production capacity also makes you happy!"
"Yes, Chief!" This was Commander Nie giving him an opportunity to express himself. Of course, Wang Ping would not let it go and answered immediately.
"After nearly half a year of development, our arsenal has grown from scratch into a comprehensive arsenal."
"With sufficient raw materials, if production is carried out in two shifts, the arsenal can produce 3,500 rifles, 120 light machine guns, 40 heavy machine guns, and 30 medium-sized mortars with a caliber of 81 mm and a caliber of 120 mm per month.
15 heavy mortars.”
"In addition, if nothing else happens, the arsenal will be able to build mountain cannons within a month at most. There should be no problem in producing ten mountain cannons per month."
"As for the field artillery, the arsenal has been launched for a long time, and it will take at most half a year to produce results!"
"In terms of ammunition, the monthly output of reloaded bullets and direct-produced bullets is nearly 1.5 million rounds, with an output of 3,000 rounds of artillery shells and 30,000 hand grenades. But there is a problem, and that is raw materials. Many times, many production lines in arsenals will
Production was stopped due to lack of raw materials. Therefore, I hope that all leaders can get more raw materials for the arsenal in future operations to ensure that the arsenal’s production will not stop!”
Commander Yang knew two days ago that the arsenal could produce various weapons. However, after listening to Wang Ping's introduction, his expression was the same as that of several detachment leaders, with his mouth open in shock, and he did not react for a long time.
"Wang Ping, you just said that there is no problem with production capacity!" After finally reacting, he stared at Wang Ping and asked.
"There's definitely no problem, and I promise, it's just a little more!" Wang Ping answered confidently.
Commander Yang immediately turned his attention to the several detachment leaders: "What are you still doing? You have all heard what Wang Ping said! In addition to fighting the Japanese from now on, you also have another task, which is to help me from the Japanese."
The arsenal is grabbing materials. Whoever turns in more materials from now on will be given more weapons and ammunition from the arsenal to whomever I will allocate! It’s all clear now!”
"Yes, Commander!" Several detachment captains finally came to their senses and replied with their eyes shining.
The reaction of his subordinates made Commander Yang very satisfied. He turned to Commander Nie and replied: "Commander, I completely agree with the artillery equipment plan you just proposed. I will arrange the troops to clean the battlefield right now! Chief of Staff, you can make the specific arrangements. If you have more,
Weapons and ammunition, not even a rifle can be left behind, all must be turned over!"
