Chapter 725: Going to Camp
On January 10, the 30th year of the Republic of China, on January 10, 1941, in the morning, on the highway in the eastern suburbs of Quanzhou, smoke and dust were billowing.
On both sides of the road, groups of people are watching these motor trucks, and on the back compartment of the truck, they are covered with heavily armed soldiers, and the soldiers on the car wear M35 steel helmets on their heads, wearing winter clothes, facing the cold wind, and the trucks on the road are endless.
More than 80 German-made Opel trucks from the Fifth Army's Automobile Regiment accelerated to the eastern suburbs of Quanzhou, where the Fifth Army Military Headquarters is located, and the troops on the trucks were Zhang Wei's Fifth Army Supplementary Second Regiment, the regimental headquarters of the Second Supplementary Regiment, the regimental engineering company, the special service platoon, the communications company, the artillery company, the first infantry battalion, the second infantry battalion, and the third infantry battalion. Eighty trucks from the Fifth Army Automobile Regiment drove to the eastern suburbs of Jeonju where training was stationed.
The long line of trucks roared forward like a long gray-black dragon, slowly advancing along the winding road, reflecting the early morning sunset.
The rolling wheels ran over, and the mud and smoke on the highway also formed a long dragon.
A whole regiment of soldiers, 80 vehicles to pull is only barely strong, trucks look big, but if they die, they can pull less than a platoon of soldiers, so transportation requires several echelons, even if the second regiment does not bring supplies, does not bring ammunition, only pulls the soldiers of the second regiment and the most basic weapons and equipment, the 80 cars temporarily assigned by the military automobile regiment are not enough at all.
On the road from the camp of the second regiment to the eastern suburbs of Quanzhou, there are all round-trip Opel trucks, the whole vehicle of soldiers, the smoke and dust are flying on the road, it looks very spectacular, the closer to the military headquarters, the more people around, many people who want to see the excitement are also cautious on the side of the road, watching the trucks that are rarely seen in ordinary times, compared to the station of the second regiment that does not the birds, the military headquarters of the Fifth Army in the eastern suburbs of Quanzhou can be a lot more lively, there are quite a lot of houses, and there are many people who do business and catch up with the market, there are many on the road.
And the elite soldiers carried on the car added another murderous aura to the convoy.
According to the order of the military department, at most two days, the entire supplementary second regiment will be driven to the camp in the eastern suburbs of Quanzhou and enter the state of preparatory training, and after the whole regiment has been prepared for more than a day and a half, the supplementary second regiment will all be dispatched. Zhang Wei then left some of the soldiers in the camp according to the number of establishments.
Many brothers in the units directly under the regiment were left in the camp by Zhang Wei, including the entire baggage company, and the two flat-fire artillery platoons of the artillery company under the regiment, all of which were stranded in the camp to hide people's eyes and ears and watch their homes by the way.
In terms of equipment, I didn't bring the Liao 14 Type 37 flat-firing gun, this thing is about to see the light, how can I pay it back? Even if theoretically the battalion mortar platoon exists, but when the mortar platoon of most of the infantry regiments is not substantial, Zhang Wei also left the mortar platoon of the three infantry battalions under his command in the regimental barracks area, and now it is being transported on a truck by an ordinary infantry regiment of the Nationalist Army, which is roughly the same as the normal establishment table.
The rubber shoes on the soldiers' feet were all replaced with ordinary cloth shoes, and those who should be ordered to seal were also strictly ordered by Zhang Wei to seal their mouths, such as the issue of military salaries, all officers have a sea subsidy from the regiment every month, Zhang Wei was afraid that there would be too much communication with other troops during the training period, and it would be difficult to show the stuffing, so the officers were ordered to strictly seal their mouths, and once someone asked about military salaries, the officers had only one answer: how much should be taken.
In short, people can't show their wealth, and the same is true for the troops.
……
On the first car, in the back compartment loaded with the regimental commanders, the regimental officers who were fully armed with combat weapons were discussing various matters related to the exercise and training on their way there.
Zhang Wei, squatting in the car, with a cold wind around him, gave orders to several officers around him, although there was a month's time, but Zhang Wei was obviously not willing to waste the time of the bumps on the road.
"The key content of this exercise lies in the coordinated tactics with tanks, you several battalion commanders, you have to think about it, the third battalion commander is afraid that he has not fought, but the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander have experience, in the Eastern Henan Campaign (that is, the Battle of Lanfeng), I have carried out infantry and tan coordinated operations many times with a battalion-level unit, including the company and platoon levels, Qiu Wei, Mu Chao, you have to play a major role, summarize the experience of the Eastern Henan Campaign, and organize the veterans in the regiment who have participated in the Eastern Henan Campaign to study the cooperation with tanks and armored vehicles, Not only do I, the regiment commander, have to exert my strength, but the veterans also have to take out the experience of the year and train the recruits to cooperate with the tank, as for Lao Ye, Qiu Wei and Mu Chao also helped more. ”
"It is not difficult to engage in infantry coordination, the point is that the infantry follows the tank, the first thing to do is to let the recruits be familiar with the tank, do not be afraid of the tank, let everyone realize what the tank is, in the mind first have a general idea of the tank, and then the coordination drill will be much smoother, starting from the infantry squad, the education of the recruits about the knowledge of the tank, let the veterans and squad leaders teach first, the point is not to be afraid of the tank, and when the camp and the tank soldiers begin to cooperate, I will find some tankers, and officers to our brothers, Let's take the example of the coordination of our infantry and tanks in the Eastern Henan Campaign, and talk to the officers of the chariot corps. ”
Zhang Wei repeatedly emphasized that it is necessary for the troops to establish a basic concept of tanks, and on the regimental level of infantry and tan coordination, Zhang Wei has no experience, and he has not received systematic education, relying on his own actual combat experience, knowledge and exploration of later generations to practice, Zhang Wei thinks that the most important thing in practicing infantry and tank coordination is to let the soldiers have a basic understanding of tanks, and if they don't know tanks, how can they do a good job of cooperating?
With the level of knowledge and culture in the country, Zhang Wei certainly knows what the soldiers will react to when they see the tank, I am afraid that many people are curious and fearful, which is the inevitable result of the inferior level of knowledge, in the battle of Lanfeng, Zhang Wei has heard that the national army's own troops, by their own chariots frightened collapse example, this is the tragic consequence of the basic understanding.
Only when you know each other can you proceed to the next step, and in the second supplementary regiment, there are more than 1,000 recruits who do not know tanks, accounting for nearly half. To put it mildly, if everyone in Zhang Wei's regiment could know the general purpose and firepower of the tank, the regiment would be almost above 99 percent of the Chinese army.
Ye Zhenhua, the commander of the third battalion, said with a smile: "It seems that I have worked harder, I have seen the tanks in this army, but I have never followed them." I have to rely on the two battalion commanders to teach me a lot. ”
Qiu Weiyan said, "Teaching can't be talked about, we are also crossing the river by feeling the stones, when his regiment commander took us to fight with the devils in eastern Henan, and he didn't understand anything when he cooperated with the tank, but he caught what the regiment commander said, the infantry can't leave the tank, and on this point, isn't it also defeated." ”
Mu Chao: "Yes, what the first battalion commander said is right, Lao Ye, you don't have to worry, we haven't learned Butan coordination, how can there be anything in the military academy." ”
Zhang Wei said: "That's right, the infantry can't stay away from the tank, grasp this, no matter how bad it is, it won't be too outrageous." ”
