Chapter 32 Forming an Artillery Battalion (Asking for Flowers)
"As long as you don't cause casualties, you can attack the little devils, which can be regarded as a test for you." Liao Fan said, "If it's okay, tomorrow you start selecting soldiers and take them into the mountains, and I don't care what you want to do." ”
With Liao Fan's order, the next day Huang Changsheng began to select soldiers in the army, many soldiers couldn't understand what the situation was, thinking that they were going to fight the little devils, they rushed to participate, and there were more than 800 people who signed up, and finally Huang Changsheng picked and picked, and worked hard for three or four days before selecting 300 people.
Liao Fan has been at the headquarters, checking the sand table and thinking about the next plan.
"Fanzi, what is this going to do? Do the troops have any tasks? Liao Jundong watched Huang Changsheng and began to select soldiers in each company.
"There is no specific task, I asked Changsheng to take the troops out for training." Liao Fan has been studying the sand table, "Brother, how is your artillery battalion prepared?" When Liao Fan finished chatting with Huang Changsheng that night, he also found Liao Jundong to discuss with him the formation of the artillery battalion.
"Hey, plus the two mortars you got back yesterday, we have a total of nineteen mortars, and two Type 92 infantry guns, the ammunition of the artillery guns is quite sufficient, but the two Type 92 infantry guns only have ten shells, except for the artillery company brought back, all the soldiers have never fired a gun." Liao Jundong found a chair and sat down, and the troops were now facing many problems.
"Brother, you can ask the soldiers of the artillery company to teach the soldiers to fire." Liao Fan said.
"Yes, but if you don't shoot with live ammunition, you can't hit it at all, and most of our soldiers are from farmers and can't write, so teach them to measure the ...... of the target." Liao Jundong sighed and said.
"Brother, don't hurry and take your time, as soon as you say this, John's task is heavier, and he has to teach you how to telegraph." Liao Fan thought that John was going to teach them the Morse code, and suddenly wanted to laugh.
"Don't laugh at my brother, when the time comes, you can see which of the two of us teaches well." When Liao Jundong heard Liao Fan say this, he was immediately unconvinced, "By the way, Fanzi, if I go to take charge of the artillery, who will lead the second battalion?" ”
"Brother, you are most familiar with the affairs of the second battalion, can you see who among these company commanders is the most suitable to lead the troops?" Liao Fan wanted to ask Liao Jundong's opinion.
"Three company commanders are good, but how to say it, they are all lacking in fire, it is more than enough for them to bring a company of soldiers, but it is not that much for them to bring a battalion of soldiers." Liao Jundong considered.
"Brother, you recommend someone, get him to the regiment headquarters first, I will inspect him first, teach him some things by the way, and when he is mature, he will be pulled to the battlefield to see if he is a talent or a coward." Liao Fan said.
"That's right, at the beginning, Changsheng was not unaccustomed to carrying so many people on the battlefield." Liao Jundong thought for a while, "In this way, I will call the third company commander Li Weimin over, how can you take a look?" ”
"Okay, that's it, the third company will be handed over to the deputy company commander of the third company." Liao Fan made a decision.
The lack of senior commanders is now the biggest shortcoming in Liao Fan's army, and it needs to be cultivated patiently, not only to have the ability but also to have prestige.
"Singer, what are you doing?" Liao Fan looked at Sun Boyong biting the pen, not knowing what to think.
"Regiment commander, you asked me to go to the conscription yesterday, but after calculating last night, our weapons are only enough to equip five thousand people, so I have to think of a way." Sun Boyong said.
Liao Fan patted Sun Boyong's head.
"Commander, why are you beating me?" Sun Boyong didn't understand why Liao Fan beat him.
"I usually see that your statistics are quite good, why are you stupid at this time?" Liao Fan said, "I'm asking you to recruit soldiers, not asking you to recruit new soldiers to fight, first of all, we have to train, don't we, train soldiers, why do we need so many weapons and ammunition?" ”
"Yes, it's me thinking too much, the regiment commander will take the troops to the village below to publicize now." Sun Boyong patted his head.
"Don't be like last time, come back with troops to catch strong men for me, and publicize our recruitment regulations more." Liao Fan reminded.
Sun Boyong glanced at Liao Fan apologetically: "Commander, I remember the lesson from the last time." ”
Liao Fan sent all the people in the regiment headquarters, and suddenly felt that the command post was empty, only Liu Chunjian was left, Liu Chundao led the troops to train in the morning, and Liao Fan fell asleep on the chair unconsciously.
"Commander, Commander, wake up." Liu Chunjian pushed Liao Fan.
Liao Fan was dreaming of fighting, and suddenly felt that someone touched him, thinking it was a little devil, so he suddenly turned over and rolled off the chair, and this time Liao Fan woke up.
Liao Fan came to his senses and saw that there were two people in the headquarters who were covering their mouths and laughing at themselves, Liao Fan coughed twice: "Ahem, that Chunjian went to get me a basin of face wash water." ”
Liao Fan looked at another person and suddenly remembered: "You are Li Weimin, right?" When did you come over? ”
"Report to the regiment commander, Li Weimin, the commander of the third company of the second battalion, reported to you, who came over about half an hour ago, and saw that the regiment commander was resting, so he didn't bother." Li Weimin said.
"Okay, you look at the sand table and the map on the table first, I have something to ask you later." Liao Fan twisted his neck to wash his face.
Li Weimin picked up the map and began to look at the terrain on the sand table against the map, Li Weimin looked at the sand table for the first time and could see it clearly, but when Li Weimin looked at the map again, he suddenly felt that his mind was in chaos, and he didn't know the east, west, north and south when he looked at the map.
After Liao Fan washed his face, he walked in and asked Li Weimin, "How is it?" How much do you understand? ”
Li Weimin was hesitant, but he still told the truth: "Report to the head of the group, the sand table can be understood, but I really don't know anything about the map." ”
Liao Fan laughed when he saw Li Weimin holding the map, which made Li Weimin feel uncomfortable.
"Haven't you seen a map before?" Liao Fan asked, "You have taken the map down." ”
Li Weimin was a little embarrassed and said: "Regiment commander, I used to be a deputy company commander, and I didn't have a map at all. ”
"The direction of the map, up north, down south, left, west, right, east......" Liao Fan patiently told Li Weimin about the specific use of the map, "Okay, give you a day, remember the terrain on this map and the sand table, and I will test you at this time tomorrow." ”
"Commander, what about the things in the company?" Li Weimin said.
"Didn't my brother tell you? You have been transferred to the regiment headquarters for the time being, you go back and tidy up your things, hand over the affairs of the company to the deputy company commander, and you move to the regiment headquarters to live. Liao Fan said.
"Yes." Li Weimin saluted and left.
After Liao Fan finished telling the matter, he felt that it was very boring to stay alone in the regiment headquarters, and planned to go to the established school to have a look, and it happened that several company commanders were teaching platoon commanders and squad leaders these days.
Liao Fan walked to the door of a classroom and listened to the two company commanders talking about the tactical stormtroop formation and how to cover each other, Liao Fan listened quietly outside the door.
A communications soldier hurriedly ran over: "Regiment commander, the information from the scouts in Pingding County." ”
