Chapter 217: The blind toss in the eyes of the division commander

Liu Lang took the establishment plan signed by Huang Jie and began to reorganize, and in the headquarters of the Second Division in Weinan, Huang Jie also took the establishment plan reported by Liu Lang and Li Bohua, the chief of staff of the division, and looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Because Bai Tianmin, the deputy commander of the division, had already led the Third Brigade to Jiangxi to participate in the huge "encirclement and suppression" battle organized by Chairman Chiang, the two of them were the only top commanders of the Second Division.

"Master, that kid's establishment is a bit outrageous! Will it be criticized by some people when it spreads out in the future? Li Bohua pointed to the top of his head.

"Hehe, it's outrageous, but Liu Lang didn't ask me for an extra penny of military salary, and he made up for it to raise soldiers for the country, who dares to say bad things about me?" Huang Jie basked slightly.

"I'm afraid that someone will make a fuss about this, saying that our division has changed the preparation plan without authorization, you see, that kid is so bold that he dares to engage in twelve heavy machine guns in one company." Li Bohua said.

"That's why I'm not afraid, Chief of Staff, let me ask you, can you get 80 heavy machine guns out? Or are you big enough to let the Ministry of Military Affairs give you a special approval of dozens of them? Huang Jie asked rhetorically.

"I don't have that face, even if I sell my 100 catties, I don't think I can get 10 pounds." Li Bohua smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"So! What is not to do with a plan that is almost impossible to achieve, and I approve it? That kid has money anyway, no matter how he tosses it, as long as he doesn't ask me for money and equipment, how to send it, I dare to accept and approve it, anyway, there will be no war in the past few years, and there will be no big problems in Sichuan. Huang Jie laughed and said his true thoughts.

That's right, the reason why Huang Jie agreed to Liu Lang's independent regiment preparation plan was that in addition to the 20,000 ocean gift package sent by Liu Lang privately, in fact, Huang Jie felt that Liu Lang's establishment was too much to take for granted. To put it bluntly, in Huang Jie's eyes, Liu Lang's current approach is to be a rich second-generation rich man messing around.

According to the provisional establishment table just promulgated by the National Army in June, the current establishment of two brigades and five regiments of a division of the first type, plus other units directly under the battalion and regiment level, the total number of personnel in the division is only 12,993. In other words, the number of people in a regiment will not exceed 2,000 people. And Liu Lang not only exceeded the number of personnel by nearly half according to the establishment number given by the Ministry of Military Affairs, not to mention, what special brigade, what machine gun platoon is just like a joke.

Since Liu Lang can pay for it out of his own pocket, Huang Jie can be invisible, anyway, the independent regiment is under his command, giving 1,500 people funds, and with more than 2,100 soldiers, it is a worthwhile thing.

It is the trend of modern warfare to decentralize heavy machine-gun-level support firepower to the company and platoon level, so as to ensure that the enemy will be inflicted greater casualties on the first line. However, knowing does not mean that you can do it.

First of all, a machine gun platoon in Liu Lang's establishment will be equipped with 3 mortars and 4 heavy machine guns, what is this concept? This means that his two infantry battalions, 6 infantry companies, and 18 infantry platoons need a total of 54 mortars and 72 heavy machine guns, which is almost the heavy firepower of a division B.

Even if he personally has the money to buy so many weapons, where will the bullets and shells come from? How to ensure logistics? As the commander of the first division of the most elite field division of the Central Army, Huang Jie is obviously very thoughtful, you must know that even if it is a division like him, the bullets and shells equipped in wartime do not exceed one base.

According to Liu Lang's almost imaginary loser-style configuration, the ammunition allocation of the whole division was not enough for him to play for a day.

As for the special brigade, in Huang Jie's opinion, it is just a name change for the special service battalion, and the others are decent, not to mention anything special and new.

Of course, Liu Lang couldn't conjure up 72 Makqin heavy machine guns, the mainstream configuration of the current national army's equipment, even if he had money, this kind of green-eyed standard weapons that the national army lacked was not so easy to buy.

However, Liu Lang did not intend to use Makqin as a heavy machine gun standard weapon of the Independent Regiment from the beginning, although this kind of heavy machine gun with a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute was already the existence of crushing the Japanese heavy machine gun, but Liu Lang felt that it was not enough.

In Liu Lang's plan, all the heavy machine guns will be replaced by the MG42 with a lengthened and thickened barrel range of up to 1,500 meters and a rate of fire of up to 1,500 rounds per minute.

OF COURSE HUANG JIE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE ORDNANCE FACTORY OF LIU LANG'S INDEPENDENT REGIMENT WAS PRODUCING BULLETS AT FULL CAPACITY UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF GRUNOV, PRODUCING 7.9MM MACHINE RIFLE BULLETS, SUITABLE FOR HANYANG-MADE, CZECH LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, MG42 WITH THE SAME NUMBER OF BULLETS, AND NOW THE MONTHLY OUTPUT HAS BASICALLY STABILIZED AT 300,000 ROUNDS, AND THE 150,000 ROUNDS SPENT ON MONTHLY TRAINING ARE REMOVED, AND 150,000 ROUNDS CAN STILL BE STORED. 750,000 rounds of ammunition are enough for 80 MG42s, constantly spewing the sound of death chainsaws that make the Japanese invaders fearful.

In view of the logistical burden caused by the MG42 machine gun's ability to consume bullets, Liu Lang still reluctantly let the squad use the Czech-made light machine gun, otherwise the bullet transportation alone can crush the soldiers, and the main job of the strong men supply squad specially equipped with the machine gun platoon is to carry the bullets.

As for the machine gun platoon, another mortar, which is --- suppressive vitality, on the contrary, it is much less difficult to buy than a heavy machine gun. Artillery as the god of war has long been established in the First World War, and the demand for artillery in the Chinese army is almost unattainable. However, the lack of steel and the lack of steel technology are determined, even if there are drawings, it is impossible to imitate all kinds of heavy artillery that can send dozens of pounds of heavy artillery shells to tens of thousands of meters away.

Mortars of various calibers from 60 to 120 have become the mainstream of the manufacture of military factories across the country, and it can even be said that if the mortar is strong, China will be the second in the whole of Asia, and no one will dare to say that it is the first, and China will leave behind Japan, the number one military power in Asia, in the mortar in the whole 30s and in the future World War II, although it is a very sad lead.

The Jinling Arsenal in Nanjing is a leader in making mortars, and since 1931, the Type 82 mortar was imitated from coil steel imported from Switzerland, and the annual output has reached 300 mortars. Since July, Liu Lang has telegraphed to Boss Du, using the profit of nearly 150,000 oceans in the next five months to ask him to go to Nanjing to buy 36 Type 60 and 36 Type 82 mortars and a total of 6,000 rounds of artillery shells for the Independent Regiment.

In other words, as long as there is money, China's existing equipment is not too much of a problem for Liu Lang.

Liu Lang is now lacking mainly people, and the large shortage of middle and low-level officers forced Liu Lang to use a large number of sergeant veterans who had performed well in the past three months.

After listening to Liu Lang's compilation report, the more than 2,000 people in the whole group were most looking forward to the pit where their big radish would fall.
