593. Demarcate the circle of influence
After a detailed search, everyone discovered the true reserve of the Changmaozi outpost in Fuyuan Town. And the final number was so huge that everyone was surprised. Surprisingly, it wasn't the contents of the basement, but a secret cave at the foot of South Mountain.
This is the real reserve, the real weapons and equipment are stored here, and the basement is just a company of ammunition!
Later, Zhuravlesky returned to Lake Dariga and drove the shallow-water gunboat "Proletarian" over, and it took the two ships two trips to transfer all the supplies. When Zhang Jingfu finally evacuated Fuyuan Town, the east had already begun to turn white.
This time, the material transfer included 10 tons of flour (10,000 catties), 50 barrels of diesel fuel (135 kg per barrel) for the three ships of the "Red Orient" detachment, 4,800 rounds of 152mm naval gun shells, 6,000 rounds of 120mm shells plus howitzers, 24,000 rounds of shells for anti-aircraft guns and rapid-fire guns, and 3 million rounds of ammunition for light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns.
There are 48 newly produced "old antique" wheeled Makqin heavy machine guns, that is, M1930 7.62mm Makqin heavy machine guns. The gun weighs 44 pounds (about 20 kg) and the cooling water tank weighs 54 pounds (about 24.5 kg) when it is full.
This heavy machine gun was equipped with two small wheels and a tripod with a shield, also known as the Sokolov gun carriage. The M1930 can choose to use a tripod or wheels as a stable support as needed. The gun carriage was an absolute longevity, and little has changed in the more than forty years since.
There are two biggest changes to this heavy machine gun: first, it adopts an all-steel structure, and the cooling pipe has grooves to prevent deformation from overcooling and heating; The second is to cancel the cooling water pipe, and replace it with a lid similar to a car engine water tank to add water. In winter, just open the lid and stuff snow or ice into it!
In addition, there are 136 Jetgalev light machine guns, 72 people's submachine guns, and 248 Mosin Nagant rifles (with spear stabs, the rifles of the Soviet Russian army generally stuck the spurs directly into the barrel).
Of the greatest interest to the special combat team members, there were 36 Mosinagan sniper rifles with scopes. Although this sniper rifle has been seen by fighters, it is rarely used because there is no bullet production line. Now I finally came across the original sniper rifle, and tens of thousands of bullets.
By the end of the move, all the warriors had turned into fools: because 6 eccentric guys had appeared! M1910 Model 7.62mm Quadruple Anti-aircraft Machine Gun!
Although the soldiers have never seen the quadruple Makqin, there is an improved double-pack Makqin in the Sanxiandong Arsenal! So after being shocked, four fighters carried machine guns, three fighters carried triangular brackets, and they simply moved these weird guys back.
In the end, it was Zhuravlasky who explained everyone's doubts: "The reserves here are based on a battalion of more than 500 people who insist on a year's reserves, although the Soviet Federation and the Orientals have signed a friendship agreement, but they are all fake things that pinch their noses and coax their eyes." Even though we are currently in the honeymoon phase, neither side actually treats each other as friends completely. ”
"This place is looked down upon by many people without knowing that it is the best springboard. The Ussuri River in the east and the Amur River (Heilongjiang River) in the north are simply impossible to block the modern army, and the door is completely open. Although it is not suitable for the movement of large mechanized corps, once it crosses the swamp, it goes directly to the hinterland of the interior. ”
It was already noon the next day when all the supplies were transferred to the dense forest of Xiaodongshan on the east side of Dalijia Lake. Because of the large amount of supplies from Fuyuan Town, the 53 people brought by Zhuravlesky no longer have to worry about eating.
At noon on the ninth day after Bai Shujie issued the order, Shi Liancheng rushed to Xiaodongshan with the support squadron to join the large army.
Three days later, the real big force arrived, and this was a reinforced battalion of 984 people separated from the South Manchurian Independent Division! Of these, 746 people from the "special battalion", including all sailors, and 238 people from the escort company.
The commander of the team was a guy named Zhang Bingyang temporarily assigned by Chen Jie, who turned out to be a deputy squadron leader of the Jinxi Naval Supplementary Brigade. Because it is temporary, it is called the commander. How to deal with it after this here depends on Shi Liancheng's arrangement.
The next few days were the most tense, Shi Liancheng arranged for the three special operations platoons to be scattered to monitor the dynamics of the enemy situation in all aspects, and the rest of the people did not announce the establishment for the time being, and all dismantled the light weapons on the "Red Dongfang" according to Bai Shujie's order.
After a day's inspection, Shi Liancheng felt that except for the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns that were separately configured, the others could not move at all.
The shallow water heavy gunboat "Red Vostochny" could not move all its equipment, because 4 152mm cannons, 2 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and 6 20mm anti-aircraft guns were all huge bases of the shipborne type, which could not be carried at all.
The only ones that could be removed were 4 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns and 5 7.62mm anti-aircraft machine guns. Bring down the reserve of shells, machine guns, and submachine guns, and leave an additional base of shells for the final battle. Among them, 4 152mm heavy guns and 144 shells; 2 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 6 20mm anti-aircraft guns, each with a reserve of 2400 shells.
After unloading, the "Red Orient" shallow water heavy gunboat, which originally had a draft of 1.41 meters, now has a draft of only 1.1 meters. Once spotted by the enemy, the ability to move quickly is added.
Proletarian shallow-water gunboat with 2 x 45x caliber 120mm cannons, 1 x 122mm army howitzer, 4 x 7.62mm machine guns (Maxim heavy machine guns). The original draft was only 1 meter, but after unloading, the draft became 0.8 meters.
The Worker Combat Boat has 2 50x caliber 75mm field guns, 2 47mm anti-aircraft guns, 2 64mm howitzers, and 4 7.62mm machine guns (Maxim heavy machine guns). Originally, the draft of a full load was only 0.6 meters, but now the reserve ammunition has been reduced by a part, and the draft has become 0.5 meters.
Since the place was now completely a swampy area of the water network, Shi Liancheng decided to keep the equipment of the gunboat Proletarian and the battleboat Worker as a mobile strike force in his hands.
The Red Vostok, as a training ship, specializes in training its own sailors. In addition, once the defense forces of the base area are fully established, this training ship can also be used as a field hospital.
After asking Bai Shujie for his consent, Shi Liancheng decided to rename the Red Dongfang as the "Dingwei No. 1 Ship", the Proletarian gunboat as the "Fengtian Gunboat", and the Worker Battleboat as the "Jilin Battleboat".
After seven days of intense busyness, Xiaodongshan, 4 kilometers east of Dalijia Lake, has completed its initial defensive measures. All kinds of seized materials, the communication team finally cleared out.
There are 48 M1930 7.62mm Makqin heavy machine guns, 6 quadruple anti-aircraft Makqin with 1.2 million rounds of ammunition, 73 DK heavy machine guns, with a total of 850,000 rounds of ammunition, and 145 Dzhegarev light machine guns with 910,000 rounds of ammunition. There were 132 people's submachine guns with 670,000 rounds of ammunition. 248 Mosin Nagant rifles, 36 sniper rifles, and 550,000 rounds of ammunition.
In addition, 3 Type 92 heavy machine guns with more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition were seized in Tongjiang Town; 7 crooked light machine guns, 10 Type 38 rifles, and more than 30,000 rounds of machine rifle bullets; There are also 24 Liao 13 rifles with more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition; 61 shell guns (a platoon of the Suppression Detective Team and the Maintenance Association and Yu Chencheng) with more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition.
There are also 10 tons (10,000 catties) of grain (mainly flour and a small amount of rice), 240 boxes of canned beef, and more than 5,000 catties of salt. There are also 171 bags of flour salvaged from Tongjiang Town, more than 2,000 catties of vermicelli, more than 3,000 catties of salt, more than 6,000 catties of vegetable oil, more than 1,000 catties of lard, and 37 pack horses. The main thing that is lacking is vegetables, because meat can also send people out to hunt, and the big fish in the lake are infested.
Shi Liancheng looked at the "report" submitted by the communication class, and his brows furrowed slightly. Small problems are slowly solved, and the most important thing is to straighten out the current organizational structure. The special operations team couldn't move, mainly because of nearly a thousand people from Chen Jie's side.
After consultation with Zhang Bingyang and Zhuravlesky, it was finally decided to formally form the first detachment (regimental level) with 746 people: Commander: Shi Liancheng (concurrently); Deputy Commander: Zhang Bingyang; General Counsel: Lieutenant Colonel Zhuravlesky.
Dingwei No. 1 Ship (flagship, 137 people) - Captain (Deputy Commander of the Fleet): Zhang Bingyang, Deputy Captain: Chen Biquan. Because a batch of equipment was unloaded, and at the same time it was not used as a standing force, so it was not fully staffed.
Navigator: Wu Tai Fook; Gun Chief: Xun Youde; Water Conduction Chief: Lei Quangui; Chief Engineer: Hao Zhinian; Guantong Chang: Chen Mingshan; Quartermaster: Mo Chengde.
Gunboat Fengtian (full number of 63 people) - Captain: Ge Yougui; Deputy Captain: Xialuoshan Jilin Combat Boat (full 40 people) - Captain: Ou Zhida; Deputy Captain: Yang Xiongwei Fleet Base (Dalijiahu Xiaodongshan, 506 people + 53 people): Battalion Commander: Ke Xinyu, Deputy Battalion Commander: Huang Weiqiang; It has 226 people in a guard company, 226 people in a combat company, and 107 people in a support company (including a supernumerary teaching platoon of 53 people in the cooking class).
On the recommendation of Zhuravlesky, the original captain of the "Proletarian", Major Beljakovich, took up the post of platoon commander of the teaching platoon and enjoyed battalion-level treatment.
The biggest gain this time is that the three ships got a total of 9 radio stations and 15 walkie-talkies. In addition, you can get 3 sets of walkie-talkies at the Fuyuan outpost and 12 sets of walkie-talkies in the reserve of the secret cave. The most important thing is to get the high-energy battery that the station desperately needs.
After some adjustments, Shi Liancheng and Zhang Bingyang coordinated, and the defensive area of the base guard company was Xiaodongshan and Dalijiahu. The combat company was equipped with 6 sets of walkie-talkies and a platoon reinforced with 4 wheeled Makqin heavy machine guns, which were deployed in Xiagou, 10 kilometers south of Dalijia Lake; The second platoon, reinforced with four wheeled Makqin heavy machine guns, was deployed at the three-way junction, 10 kilometers west of Lake Dalijia.
The most important thing is that the three platoons should be set up separately to set up concealed posts, and each post should be equipped with two wheeled Makqin heavy machine guns and one mortar. Thereinto:
A squad was deployed in Liudaogou, six kilometers north of Dalijia Lake, to monitor the possible enemy in the direction of Fuyuan Town; A squad was deployed at Guitouliang, 10 kilometers east of Xiaodong Mountain, to monitor the enemy situation on the Black Blind Island and the Ussuri River; A squad was deployed on Weizipo, 10 kilometers southeast of Xiaodong Mountain, to monitor the direction of the Ussuri River.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
