473, Hebei banditry

"Commander Wei, the Dingwei No. 1 is a submachine gun that our commander-in-chief personally designed, personally drawn, and personally supervised the production. This is the pride of our entire Rehe, and we hope you will use its power. When used as a light machine gun, you can attach the front bracket and use a large 70-round drum with an effective range that exceeds that of a crooked handle. ”

The Jishu personnel said with great pride: "We can proudly say that in the entire domestic battlefield, you will definitely not find such excellent infantry weapons and cavalry weapons!" See, if you hang a grenade launcher on it, it can also fire gun grenades! We are here this time to focus on this Dingwei No. 1, because it pins on the ardent hope of the commander-in-chief! ”

"Fuck, don't say it, it's okay, it's going to make Lao Tzu all flow out!"

Wei Chong grabbed a handful of Dingwu No. 1, and under the guidance of Jishu, he quickly completed the decomposition, and then carefully wiped it clean. With a click, a 70-round drum was already loaded, and then it lay on the ground, snapping, it was a continuous shot, and more than 400 meters in front of it suddenly became dusty.

"Sure enough, a good gun!" Wei Chong has been fighting bloody for many years, so he naturally knows the quality of firearms: "Whether it is the rate of fire, the firing range, or the impact area, there is no problem at all as a light machine gun!" Such a 70-round drum can completely kill the two crooked tricks of the little devil! Although it is a little heavier as a submachine gun, it is very light as a light machine gun, good! ”

Let's not mention how Wei Chong reorganized new troops, expanded his troops, and familiarized himself with new weapons.

It is said that Zhang Erxuan took a battalion of soldiers to hurry up, and simply passed through the territory of Tongxian and Yanqing, and rushed to Chicheng County in the afternoon of the next day.

The soldiers of Zou Baoyin's guard company did not know Zhang Erzhuan. So he asked the location of Zou Baoyin's headquarters, handed over the troops to the deputy battalion commander Dai Guangye, and then Pegasus rushed to Zou Baoyin's headquarters. Those guard soldiers didn't even dare to fart except salute.

"Zou Baoyin, where is Zou Baoyin?" Before the person got off the horse, Zhang Er was stunned and yelled in a thick voice: "Damn, when you become the head of the regiment, you will set up music for Lao Tzu, right?" Lao Tzu came all the way to see you, but he didn't even come out to greet you, forgetting how Lao Tzu taught you in the first place? ”

"Okay, you're stunned, you're still so arrogant and domineering when you get to my one-third of an acre!" Zou Baoyin didn't expect Zhang Er to come so quickly, and when he heard the roar, he hurriedly greeted him: "Are you coming to see me?" ! You simply say: where is Lao Tzu's equipment? This is more in line with your personality! ”

Zhang Er was stunned and threw the reins into the guard's hand, and then shouted while walking towards Zou Baoyin: "The equipment naturally has to be given to Lao Tzu quickly, didn't you see that Lao Tzu was clean and slippery all over his body, didn't he bring anything?" In case you encounter an eyeless lock, Lao Tzu designated the gutter to capsize! ”

At present, after the two old comrades-in-arms laughed and scolded, Zhang Er was stunned and urged Zou Baoyin to go to the ammunition depot to check his equipment.

"Erdaze, you have to be ready!" Zou Baoyin went to the office and opened a certificate and a bill of lading, and then said: "I don't know what the boss wants to do when he sits in Chengde, but the equipment this time may be beyond your imagination." ”

Zhang Er didn't pay attention to Zou Baoyin's reminder, and when he entered a separate warehouse to take inventory, he was finally dumbfounded:

There are 8 Type 92 105mm field cannons, 12 Meiji 41 Type 75mm field guns and 12 75mm mountain guns, 24 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 36 Makqin heavy machine guns, 24 twin air defense heavy machine guns, 72 mortars, 720 Degegalev light machine guns, 1,200 Dingwei No. 1 submachine guns, and 240 howitzers. Bullets and shells are too many to count.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhang Er was stunned before he stammered and asked, "Baoyin, you are not mistaken, this is the equipment for me?" ”

Zou Baoyin said solemnly: "Dang Rang is for you, my share is in another warehouse." Wei Chong's share is on your way over, and I have sent an independent cavalry battalion to escort it over. I just reminded you to prepare your mind. In the past six months or so, a total of 2,000 pack horses have passed through Fengning to carry things to me. ”

"That's outrageous, isn't it?" Zhang Er was stunned and didn't have any mental preparation: "This is more than the equipment of a reinforced regiment, and there is also the equipment of an artillery regiment, without five thousand people, you will definitely not be able to fiddle with so much equipment." I'm only 746 now, and I'm still a little short of more than 4,000. Isn't the boss mistaken? I can't take so many things with me! ”

"The boss has already told me in the telegram, how you get it and how to use this equipment, that's not a problem for him to consider." Zou Baoyin said with a wicked smile: "However, the boss asked me to tell you that these things can only be stored here for half a year, and you must get them all away before the end of this year, otherwise military law will be involved!" ”

Zhang Erxuan was born in the secret camp of the ancient tomb, followed Bai Shujie to fight for many years, and can be regarded as a cadre brought out by the commander-in-chief. Although the boss just said that he would let himself go to the front line of Zhoukoudian to open up a secret base area, judging from the variety and quantity of equipment, it would be necessary to pull up the shelves of the two regiments before the end of this year.

"I've been here for half a year, and the reconnaissance company hasn't been idle." Zou Baoyin took Zhang Erstunned back to the headquarters, and then pointed to the map and said: "The first line of Zhoukoudian in Fangshan belongs to the early Yanshan Mountain Range, also known as Xiaoyan Mountain. Here the north is high and the south is low, and the mountains are steep. According to the information brought back by the reconnaissance company, there are a large number of bandits in it, and they are all evil. ”

"The local people said: 'There is no place for bandits, there are no bandits for every day, and no one is immune from bandits.' You can imagine how complicated the situation is here. As far as the information that has been grasped so far is that there is a large group of bandits, and the bandit leaders are two brothers, Wang Damei and Wang Ermei. I think, if you really want to be in this place, I'm afraid you have to learn Commander Gan. ”

"This Akagi County of mine is no better. In the past six months, half of the troops' energy has been devoted to suppressing bandits. I don't know what the original garrison here was for, but there are dozens of bandits in Chicheng and Longguan. After half a year of fighting, one battalion exterminated Li Jingchun and Zhang Jin, two habitual bandits, and executed more than 400 bandits who committed the most heinous crimes. ”

"The boss and Commander Gan's point of view is right, for the bandits stained with the blood of the common people, there will be no mercy! It was because I killed the bandits, so I quickly gained the sincere support of the people of Akagi. According to the common people, they have been brutalized by bandits for generations, and the government has never really suppressed bandits, and now they can finally sleep with peace of mind. ”

Zhang Er listened very carefully, and he and Zou Baoyin were very clear about the dangers of bandits. When he first came to North China early last year, the first blow he received was an attack by bandits, causing heavy casualties to his troops. Later, the big bandit Xu Erhei was eradicated, and they all participated, but they didn't expect the situation here to be even more sinister.

Zou Baoyin zuihou said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed, I didn't expect that the first line of Fangshan would become your territory." After I suppressed the bandits here, many of them went to Fangshan. For example, more than 300 bandits of Zhang Xinqi and Xiao Mingzi have fled to you, and it will be up to you to clean them up in the future. ”

Zhang Er smiled bitterly and said, "I thought it was a good errand, but I didn't expect to deal with bandits." There is no way, the boss gives an order, and he can only point to where to fight. The most important thing now is to let Lao Tzu's battalion quickly familiarize himself with these equipment, and then go over to find a place to stay. ”

Zou Baoyin hurriedly said: "This boss has a special explanation, your first foothold is Woniuding and Jiulong Valley, 50 kilometers northwest of Zhoukoudian. Take the place first, and build a strong fortress, this is what the boss repeatedly emphasized. Then it's time for you to let go, don't mess around. ”

In the following month, Zhang Er's battalion began to fully familiarize himself with the new equipment. Because of the change in weapons and equipment, he made adjustments to this battalion of his own.

Because of the Meiji 41 style 75mm mountain artillery and field artillery, the little devil is called the 41 type mountain gun, with a range of 6 kilometers. It is characterized by its low weight (540 kg, capable of dismantling the packs), which can be pushed around by 2 soldiers, and has good mobility, making it easy to use in various terrains. As for the eight heavy guns, we will talk about it after we find the location, and they cannot be taken away for the time being.

Therefore, Zhang Erxuan decided to form the artillery company first. After so many years of bullets and bullets, he can understand a truth: the worst thing about the domestic troops is that there is a serious shortage of artillery, or no artillery at all! If you want to deter some local armed forces, the most majestic thing is to pull an artillery company out and scare them to death!

After the adjustment, the combat units of Zhang Erzhuo's task force will all adopt a four-squad system, and the specific establishment is as follows:

Fangshan Task Force Battalion 746 people: battalion commander Zhang Ertun, deputy battalion commander Dai Guangye guard platoon 66 people: platoon commander Wu Mingjie, deputy platoon commander Hao Zhigang. It has one communication squad and two combat squads. It was equipped with 6 Dzhegalev light machine guns and 26 Dingwei No. 1 submachine guns.

The artillery company has 226 people, company commander Du Guangming, and deputy company commander Zheng Tianyou.

Mountain artillery platoon: equipped with 3 Type 41 75mm mountain guns and 12 submachine guns;

Field artillery platoon: equipped with 3 Type 41 75mm field guns and 12 submachine guns;

Support platoon: two machine gun squads, two support squads, 6 light machine guns, 32 submachine guns.

The machine gun company has 226 people, company commander Qin Guozhu, and deputy company commander Jiang Zi'an.

A platoon of light machine guns: 12 light machine guns, 3 mortars, 24 submachine guns, 4 howitzers.

Second platoon of light machine guns: 12 light machine guns, 3 mortars, 24 submachine guns, 4 howitzers.

Three platoons of heavy machine guns: equipped with 3 Type 92 heavy machine guns and 3 mortars;

The assault company has 226 people, the company commander Ling Kaishan, and the deputy company commander Che Dafu.

Assault platoon: 8 light machine guns, 48 submachine guns, 4 howitzers.

Second platoon of assault: 8 light machine guns, 48 submachine guns, 4 howitzers.

Assault platoon 3: 8 light machine guns, 48 submachine guns, 4 howitzers.

After half a month of chaos, the companies finally figured out the weapons in their hands. The most difficult thing to do is the grenade gun, because it has special requirements for loading and firing. Fortunately, Zou Baoyin's side had already been equipped in advance, so he sent a class to guide on the spot. Actually, it's very simple, as long as you know how to use a rifle, you can use it.

At eight o'clock in the evening of May 20, 1935, Zhang Er was stunned and couldn't stay any longer. The troops are most familiar with the weapon of the most haode place, that should be in battle. So he gave the order, and the whole battalion immediately set out. Take advantage of the dark sky to cross the front line of Yanqing and go straight to the direction of Zhoukoudian!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
