Chapter 801: If you take action, you will kill the devil
The cavalry company was expanded into a two-company cavalry battalion. If the news spreads, the new regiment will definitely cause a sensation in the entire military region again.
You know, the entire Taiyue Military Region can't even gather a full cavalry battalion. And the New Regiment, a regiment-level unit, actually has a hidden cavalry battalion.
As soon as Wang Ping's order came out, Zhong Chenggong responded excitedly: "Regiment commander, don't worry, the cavalry company already has more people and fewer horses, and the recruits are ready. As long as they are given equipment and horses, they can be expanded at any time."
At this time, the political commissar suddenly thought of the five armored vehicles Wang Ping brought back from the battlefield!
Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Commander, what are you going to do with those five armored vehicles that are intact except for bullet holes?"
Wang Ping did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, the armored car I brought back is the Type 92 armored car installed by the Japanese. The armor thickness is six millimeters, and it is equipped with a heavy machine gun on the front. Others
Each of the three directions is equipped with a light machine gun, and depending on the battlefield situation, two more light machine guns can be added appropriately. But in this case, the tank will be overweight and slower!"
"Also, this kind of armored vehicle is only less than two tons heavier than the vehicles equipped by the Japanese, and can be driven on most roads in the base area!"
"What do you think of the combat effectiveness of this armored vehicle?"
Zhong Chenggong frowned and replied: "If there are no heavy weapons to deal with it, the armored vehicle will be invincible in front of ordinary infantry."
"One heavy machine gun and five light machine guns shooting together can turn an armored vehicle into a fire hedgehog!"
"There is also a six-millimeter steel plate on the armored vehicle, which can block almost all bullets fired from light and heavy machine guns and rifles. Even if grenades and ordinary mortar shells hit it and explode, it will be difficult to hurt the armored machine gunner!"
Wang Ping nodded and gave an astonishing reply: "Since it is so powerful, then we can equip it ourselves and bring it out at critical moments, and let them deal with the little Japanese infantry. It will definitely be effective!"
Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang looked at Wang Ping and was stunned for ten seconds before he reacted!
"Our new regiment is forming an armored force~ Commander, did I hear you correctly? Moreover, even if we really want to form an armored force, we don't have armored troops, and no one knows how to command an armored force or how to form it!"
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Political commissar, you think too complicated~"
"This is just an armored car, not a tank. It's not as difficult as imagined."
"As long as there are drivers and machine gunners, the armored vehicles can quickly form combat effectiveness!"
"So, I decided to set up an armored company with two platoons and one squad... Each platoon has two squads. Each squad is equipped with an armored vehicle, and the squad is also equipped with one, for a total of five armored vehicles.
Cars! When we capture another armored vehicle from the Japanese in the future, we will directly replenish the armored company until the number of armored vehicles reaches ten!"
"I agree!" Zhong Chenggong, who had fought against Japanese armored vehicles before, agreed without thinking about it.
Then he shouted with excitement: "With the armored company, if we encounter hard problems in the future, let them attack directly."
"When the time comes, no matter how powerful the Japanese are, they will be destroyed by us just like chopping up melons and vegetables!"
Wang Ping smiled and said nothing. Although he did not like the Type 92 armored vehicle equipped by the Japanese at all, it could definitely be regarded as a heavy weapon on the Chinese battlefield. Wang Ping would not take out such powerful equipment easily.
In his opinion, armored companies, like cavalry battalions and mountain artillery battalions, are the new regiment's trump card in dealing with heavy encirclement and suppression campaigns by the Japanese and puppet troops in the future.
It is easy not to use it, but when it is really used, it will definitely deal a devastating blow to the enemy.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Ping continued to order.
"I remember that the second time we robbed the military train, because the military train derailed not as badly as before, we seized a total of four anti-aircraft machine guns! This time, the military train derailed and rolled over more seriously, and only two were seized, and the remaining two were
Destroyed!"
"But even so, we still have six anti-aircraft machine guns and more than 20,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition."
"We cannot waste such good weapons and leave them rusting in a warehouse."
"I decided to establish a new air defense company directly under the regiment. It will have two platoons, each with three machine gun squads. Each squad will be equipped with one anti-aircraft machine gun, for a total of six anti-aircraft machine guns!"
"There is one more thing I want to emphasize again. Our recruit battalion, artillery battalion, cavalry battalion, as well as the armored company and air defense company to be established are all our weapons to deal with the Japanese because of the Sagitar in the future. Therefore, no one can
Leak the situation of several troops."
"The rest is training. These troops must go out from their bases to train secretly, and they cannot be detected by the little devils."
"I usually don't take action, but if I do, I will seriously injure the little devils and kill them!"
In the village where the first battalion of the new regiment is located, every morning, the first battalion will set fire to the village for training.
Seeing the fully armed troops running around the village, many young people in the village were envious of such a life.
Because every young man has a fire in his heart. The daily training of the First Battalion just ignites this fire in them.
The enviable training is not to mention the aroma of three meals that can be smelled from afar every day. Facing the Eighth Route Army's recruitment sign at the gate of the station, many people want to walk in, put on the Eighth Route Army uniform, and become a soldier.
The Japanese Eighth Route Army soldiers.
However, as soon as this idea was proposed, the family rejected it without hesitation.
"No, it's too dangerous to be a soldier...Don't you see that every time the Eighth Route Army comes back from fighting the Japanese, there will be fewer people. Those people have died on the battlefield, and I don't want you to die at the hands of the Japanese at a young age!"
The mother refused the second son's request to join the army again without thinking about it, and burst into tears as she spoke.
The father frowned and said nothing.
This time, the second son seemed determined to join the Eighth Route Army. He stared at his father and asked: "Dad... the Eighth Route Army is a team that fights Japanese invaders. Even if I really die on the battlefield after joining the Eighth Route Army, I am still a hero and I am willing to do so!"
"
"Moreover, after half of our family's food was taken away by the Japanese, there is simply not enough food left to last until next autumn's harvest. I will join the Eighth Route Army, and the food saved may be able to sustain you for another month!"
"And there are eldest brother and third brother at home. With them here, even if I die, there will be someone to take care of you in your old age!"
The father finally spoke and hesitated before replying: "The Eighth Route Army is indeed a team that kills Japanese troops. I believe this!"
"However, no one knows whether the Eighth Route Army can protect us and stay here forever. If one day the Eighth Route Army escapes like last time and this place is occupied by the devils again, then our whole family will be arrested by the devils.
, or even kill!"
The last time the New Regiment was defeated and advanced into the mountains, the Japanese and puppet troops retaliated against the people so cruelly that tragic scenes appeared in the father's mind from time to time, making the deputy full of scruples about his children joining the Eighth Route Army.
The second son's face suddenly became gloomy, but he did not give up. He hesitated and asked: "In other words, as long as the Eighth Route Army stops running away and can protect us, you will let me join the Eighth Route Army!"
The father did not speak, but silence was the best answer. He agreed!
