Chapter 219: Delightful Equipment (1)

In fact, the staffing led by Liu Lang also reflects the balance of being the highest commander of a regiment.

Chi Dakui, who followed him at the earliest, became the commander of the first battalion, even if his ability was slightly insufficient, but as Liu Lang's most trusted person, he was the only one who was most suitable to stay in this position. The spokesperson for the officers who came over from the 19th Route Army was Yu Xiancheng, the chief of staff, and concurrently served as the commander of the second battalion, and it was also expected that he became the third person in the independent regiment.

Liang Wenzhong was promoted to major, but he was in charge of the garrison supplementary battalion, which is a new term, but it can be understood from the literal meaning that the role of this battalion is to garrison the base and replenish new recruits to the rest of the combat units, and is not the main force of the independent regiment. However, he can be in charge of the logistics of the entire independent regiment, and he can barely be called the fourth person in the independent regiment.

The two foreign officers held up half the sky in the independent regiment, which somewhat offset the influence of Ling Hong and Xiao Fenghua, the two remnants who followed Liu Lang, to become the two squadron leaders of the special brigade.

Although the number of special forces is small, but its characteristics of having the most elite soldiers in the whole regiment are destined to be the most important force of the independent regiment, and everyone knows that being a squadron leader in such an elite unit is definitely not worse than being a company commander in an infantry battalion, or even stronger.

In addition, Zhao Ergou was the commander of the artillery company, Liu Dazhu was the commander of the first company in the second battalion, and Wang Dahai, a remnant soldier with a slightly inferior performance, served as the commander of the baggage company, which were all important positions, but they did not arouse anyone's disgust.

Of course, this is not only Liu Lang's gradually mature balance skills, from Zhao Ergou to Ling Hong and Liu Dazhu, the performance of the remnants themselves is also amazing, except for Xiao Fenghua, who has always been infamous, who was promoted to the important position of captain of the special brigade without even being a recruit company commander, it is a little surprising, and the others really make people unable to find any criticism.

However, except for Liu Lang and a few remnants, no one knows, maybe Xiao Fenghua, a silent honest child, is not suitable to be a company commander, but this guy definitely conforms to the old Chinese saying: a dog that can't bark bites, that day on the battlefield with Liu Lang's counter-charge, except for Liu Lang's killing of more than a dozen enemies is a myth that no one can surpass, the next one belongs to this word, and it is very difficult for you to notice his man standing in front of you.

The person who can rely on a rifle that has run out of bullets to pick two Japanese soldiers to death, smash the head of a Japanese soldier, and finally be seriously injured and unconscious and can bite one to death alive is definitely one of the most ruthless people in this era.

Therefore, when considering the candidate for the captain of the special brigade, Liu Lang's first consideration was this low-key guy, if it weren't for Ling Hong's extremely good performance in the first battle of Heilong Mountain, I'm afraid he would still be just an ordinary company commander.

Making the best use of one's talents is the greatest fairness, and Liu Lang's staffing plan basically leaves people speechless.

The reorganization took a whole day, except for the special brigade, which made everyone feel fresh, only two squadron leaders were in place, more than 1,600 recruits, because of the temporary expansion of the independent regiment, except for the 322 rank people who ranked last in the ranks, were assigned to the equipment supplement battalion, and the remaining 1,300 people were incorporated into the official units of the independent regiment.

There is only a slight difference in military rank and treatment, with the rank of private before 1,000 and the rank of reserve after 1,000, and the monthly salary of the military is also 3 oceans less. This is also a reward for the hard work of the recruits during the boot camp and a punishment for the lazy and backward.

The idea of using the last 300 people as strong men had to be adjusted on the fly, and the independent regiment would select hundreds of people from the village guards to supplement the strong men battalion.

However, even if they were strong men, Liu Lang also required them to carry out necessary military training, especially shooting, and each of them had to arrange target shooting training every two days. Liu Lang is also ready to go to the front line at the most critical moment of the war.

After the personnel are implemented, the equipment is distributed.

Liu Lang is now accompanied by Liang Wenzhong to inspect the company-level commanders who are about to distribute the equipment of various units in the cave warehouse that took two months to build, and there are drooling elders outside.

Not to mention the drooling of all the heads of the heads who far exceeded the normal weapons preparation plan of the national army, but Liu Lang himself looked at the dazzling array of equipment, and he was happy. Although it is all scum compared to the arsenal of the Longyan army in his previous life, in this era, Liu Lang definitely dares to say that in terms of light weapons, he can compare with the American cowboys who like to crush the enemy with equipment the most. As for the little Japan that has been thinking about even having a submachine gun for eight years, it can only follow behind and eat ashes.

During the three months of recruit training, Liu Lang did the most work to develop equipment, from individual equipment to the firepower allocation at the battalion, company, and platoon levels.

However, money can make grinding ghosts, and three months have finally begun to bear fruit.

In fact, the range is inferior to the Japanese army's Type 38 rifle, and the Hanyang-made rifle is not the best choice in Liu Lang's view, and the American-style Springfield 03 rifle and the Soviet-style Mosingana rifle used in China are superior to the Hanyang-made in terms of accuracy and range, but the bullet caliber used by the two and the two main machine gun bullets of the independent regiment cannot be used universally, and the backward logistics system of the independent regiment cannot afford to manufacture and transport several bullets of different calibers.

In the war in the northern border of the future republic, the shortcomings of logistical fragility have been infinitely magnified by the variety of weapons, and even the most hard-working red warriors can only maintain the duration of a battle for seven days on the icy battlefield.

Therefore, Liu Lang still decided to use the Hanyang-made rifle, which is currently the largest domestic production, as the main rifle of the independent regiment in the next two years, and Du Yuesheng sent 500 rifles and received 1,200 from the division headquarters, and the whole regiment has a total of 1,700 rifles. If it is replaced by a regiment of the ordinary national army, with 2,000 people, 1,500 rifles, and one gun for the main infantry, it is all strong and strong.

But Liu Lang knew that as long as it was a gun, it would be broken, whether it was training or combat in peacetime, damage to the weapon was inevitable, so he bought 1,000 Hanyang-made rifles from his uncle Liu Wenhui through his father, and Liu Wenhui, who was actively preparing for the war in the province, was very surprised by Liu Lang's demand for arms, but still generously met Liu Lang's request at cost price.

Except for strong men and officers of the company rank and above who are equipped with pistols, as well as special services such as artillerymen and light and heavy machine gun shooters who are not equipped with rifles, soldiers of the second lieutenant and below of the independent regiment are each armed with one rifle and have 800 rifles in stock for later use.

The three-edged military assassination weapon that kills people and never kills without injury quickly won everyone's love, and it was not complicated to make anyway, Liu Lang simply took it from him to ordinary soldiers. Under Liu Lang's prompting, the designers of the garment factory specially designed several zippers on the side of the camouflage pants, and inserted the sheathed military thorns into the zipper, which is beautiful and powerful and convenient, and can be stabbed out with a single pull.

The steel helmet is naturally a must, not only can it be bulletproof to save life, but it can also be used as a pot for boiling water and rice, and it is definitely a must-have all-rounder for individual soldiers. However, this thing mainly relies on imports, and for the warlords of Sichuan Province, they have never thought of equipping their soldiers with this life-saving thing, and they can give each soldier a rifle, which is very wealthy. So Liu Lang can only fight the idea of the division.

Although the price of a steel helmet is high, Liu Lang can only pinch his nose and admit it, who made his steel mill make a lot of steel, but it is low-carbon steel-based inferior steel, and the best steel must be used to build MG42 machine guns. The 1,000 steel helmets purchased and the 1,500 steel helmets previously collared were enough for the strong men who followed the troops to wear them.

A set of camouflage uniforms and national army uniforms and two pairs of rubber soles of combat boots have become a necessity per person, and now the garment factory is seizing the time to develop a tactical vest given by Liu Lang to give drawings, the style is very simple, but to rely on a few belts and cloth pockets to carry a single soldier to carry bullets and grenades and individual soldier rations all the need is not only creativity, but also materials, lightweight, wear-resistant and strong three necessities are not currently supported by most of China's fabrics.

Three highly-paid fabric engineers at the garment factory have been scratching their scalps countless times in the past two months.
