Chapter 4 Three Artillery Companies, and the Absence of Artillery Battalions.

Listening to Chu Yunfei's tone, Fang Ligong's heart moved, and he understood the thoughts of his own group.

This is a competition with Li Yunlong and the independent regiment.

The group must have planned and deduced in his heart, what will happen when the 358th Regiment faces the Independent Regiment, I am afraid that there will be no fewer times.

And it's no wonder.

At the beginning, their 358th regiment and his party went to the independent regiment to communicate, carrying a telegram from Chief Yan and planning to recruit Li Yunlong with high treatment, but after meeting, Li Yunlong openly and secretly showed the strength of the independent regiment.

The two of them are compared.

Good guys, the conditions of the independent regiment itself are much better than those prescribed by Chief Yan, which makes both of them drool with envy.

Reduced treatment solicitors?

Every time he recalled his original thoughts, Fang Ligong felt that his face was a little hot, but fortunately, he didn't directly mention the conditions when they first met. It is foreseeable that after the graduation of Whampoa, the group seat that pays attention to etiquette must be even more so.

After returning from the independent regiment, the increased amount of training in the regiment can be seen.

Although the two sides are friendly forces, there is a gap, in this case, no military commander will reveal his full strength, and what the two of them saw at the beginning is definitely not the full strength of Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

Other than that.

Shelled the Japanese Taiyuan Airport, seized gold, ambushed Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the North China Front, and ambushed the Japanese observation group······ In the past two years, the independent regiment has done one thing after another, making it a well-deserved protagonist in the entire Shanxi Province and its surroundings, attracting the attention of almost everyone.

The first regiment in Shanxi, the first regiment in North China······ All kinds of names are coming.

Chief Yan also expressed envy, jealousy, and hatred many times...

Envy that the Eighth Route Army has such a tiger general and tiger troops, jealous of why this person is not the sequence of the Jin Sui Army, and hate that among the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Jin Sui Army, there is no one person and one army that can be compared.

This made the 358th Regiment, which was the first regiment of the Jin Sui Army, very disgraced, and at military meetings, there were many cases where some people ridiculed the 358th Regiment and the regimental seat with Li Yunlong's achievements.

Especially recently, Li Yunlong, with the strength of a regiment, faced the Japanese army in North China, which dispatched more than 10,000 troops and carried siege-level heavy artillery, and held Shou County for nearly a month, and also bombarded the devil's Taiyuan Airport again with his backhand, which made the independent regiment even more famous.

The first regiment of the Republic of China!

Although there is no official closure of the coffin, it is well deserved.

As for the Japanese army, needless to say, for the sake of a regiment that has dispatched more than 10,000 troops and heavy siege artillery, the status of Li Yunlong and his independent regiment in the hearts of the Japanese army is probably comparable to half of the Jin Sui army.

It's no wonder that the own group seat is compared with the independent group.

If this group of Japanese troops attacked the 358th Regiment...

Thinking of this, Fang Ligong suddenly had a stir, and quickly cut off his thoughts, and he changed the topic.

Fang Ligong said worriedly:

"Tuanza, according to the report of the intelligence department, although Li Yunlong has suffered heavy losses, his own strength is still not bad, and during his retreat, he used heavy artillery to cover the tactics, and our four Bofors 75 mountain guns are afraid ·····."

The artillery fire in Macun was also discovered by the intelligence department of the Jin Sui Army.

"Hmph."

Chu Yunfei is very confident:

"Mortars are infantry accompanying firepower, their ballistics and rate of fire, as well as short range, are destined to occupy a disadvantage in artillery battles, and when it comes to fighting, who loses and wins depends on the ability of the commanders on both sides."

Chu Yunfei planned to go to the Independent Regiment, not to show off and see jokes, although he regarded the Independent Regiment as an opponent, but he did not behave like this.

He went to see the strength of the independent regiment, and planned to learn from Li Yunlong's experience in leading troops and compare the gap between the two regiments.

In terms of strength, the 358th Regiment is not as good as Li Yunlong's independent regiment, even if the equipment is removed, I am afraid it is not as good, which Chu Yunfei admits in his heart.

I don't know how many times the actual combat experience of the independent regiment is richer than that of the 358th regiment, it was fought again and again in bloody battles, what does the 358th regiment compare with the other party?

But now, the independent regiment has suffered serious losses, its strength has declined, and after a period of recovery, with the shelf left before, the two sides are almost on the same starting line, and what the future strength will be, it is not necessarily.

Li Yunlong and his independent regiment have that mysterious supply of weapons, but our 358th regiment has new weapons from the United States.

Who else?

Compared with the United States, which has no war to plague the country and has the largest economic strength, the strength of science and technology industry is stronger?

······

Li Yunlong didn't know Chu Yunfei's thoughts, and he probably didn't bother to care if he knew, he was now counting the new materials in his hands with Zhao Gang and others, and the corners of his mouths couldn't close.

"More than 4,000 tons of grain."

Coming to the grain pair, lifting the white cloth that covered him, looking at the grain bags that were stacked up like a hill, Li Yunlong rubbed his hands, and smiled, and his laughter had a vague smell of madness.

That's more than 4,000 tons, and it's all staple food.

The Separate Regiment now has a total strength of 3,200 men, and it is planned to return to its pre-war size of 5,000 men within two months, which is simple given that there are enough troops.

Zhao Jiayu's side is also a solid base, even if the harvest last year was not good, it can provide some cabbage and radishes, and the independent regiment will also organize the reclamation of wasteland next, so that it can supply some grain by itself.

The 5,000 people of the regiment are fully calculated, and even if they train at high intensity, they consume more than 1,000 tons of grain a year.

Then a few hundred tons were left behind to support the fleeing civilians.

It can also save more than 3,000 tons of staple food to support headquarters and other base areas. And that's not even counting the amount of food they earned in the following year.

What is most important in the age of war?

Ammunition?

No, no, no.

As a military commander, Li Yunlong knows very well that for an army, arms are very important, but the most important thing to solve is food, and without weapons and ammunition, he can slowly find a way.

But there is no food.

If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry, you will be panicked if you don't eat twice, and you will not eat three meals, and with the amount of exercise of the troops, even if you are a monk, your legs will tremble.

Now the troops have just experienced a big sweep by the devils, the base areas have been seriously damaged, and grain production has been greatly damaged.

At this time, he went to the headquarters with a cart full of grain, went to the brigade headquarters, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie, so he had to come out to greet him one by one? If you can't smoke or drink, you can hand it all over?

You have to think about which guys have the inventory at the bottom of the box·····

This time, there is also the first generation of large mule livestock farms, as well as 120 heavy mortars that are ready to be obtained, and 92 infantry guns····· Two hundred and eighty tons of weapons and ammunition, one hundred tons for yourself is enough, and then the business will still be profitable, and the rest will be exchanged for good things.

It's all good things, you have to plan well, and change more things that the independent regiment needs.

He didn't know about the others, but the brigade commander would have kept a good cigarette. The elder of the division is too, and he definitely didn't squeeze it out last time. Kong Jie only has a cigarette pouch, but he will hide some good wine, and Ding Wei's dog thing is a waste, nothing. Zhang Wanhe has tobacco and alcohol over there, and there are a lot of them.

By the way, by the way, I want to ask more officers in the grassroots company platoon, and now there is too much shortage of officers in the regiment...

There are also more mechanical technicians, and the promised tanks are almost here...

Just when Grand Master Li had a series of thoughts in his heart, behind him, Zhao Gang, who had come to see the grain together, looked at Li Yunlong, who was smirking at himself, and pursed his lips, his face full of disgust.

He knew what the dog was thinking·····

This partner regiment commander, although he picks at the door and has a stingy temper, but he never hides nonsense in business, and this batch of food will definitely support other troops and headquarters, which he is very sure of and very satisfied, but the only bad thing is that in the process of supporting and helping, he will definitely take the opportunity to show off and show off·····

I don't know what this is...

By the way, is it really that interesting?

The monk and Zhang Dabiao also like to be distracted.

After seeing too much of Li Yunlong's temper, he has disliked it so many times, he has become accustomed to it, and he is surrounded by guys who like to talk about it, at this moment, a strange idea suddenly appeared in Zhao Gang's mind.

······

"Commander."

Just when Zhao Gang fell into a strange thought, and Li Yunlong was planning to go to the headquarters and brigade headquarters to get good things, Yansheng and Wang Chengzhu came over.

As soon as the two of them came over, they saw the Bofors Mountain Cannon that had been lifted and assembled, as well as the boxes of shells, spare barrels and other parts.

Although there are already mortars, and there are still quite a few of them, the gap between the barrel gun and the mortar is naturally clear to the commanders of the two artillery companies.

This thing,Maybe it's not as powerful as 120 heavy force,But in terms of use,It's much more than that thing.,Strong fortifications,Long-range fire suppression,Artillery battle... It's all on.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Seeing the two right-hand men, Grand Master Li regained his expression and patted the barrel of the cannon on the side:

"How, is this going to happen?"

"Yes."

Yan Sheng immediately did not hesitate, and even nodded impatiently:

"I've used this cannon before, and I'm very familiar with it."

Born in a class, Iwamori, who once served in the artillery unit of the national government, naturally uses the Bofors mountain gun, and can be said to be proficient, after all, this thing seems to be the main artillery of the national government.

"Pillar, what about you?"

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu, who did not speak.

"I..."

Wang Chengzhu moved his mouth.

As an artilleryman, he naturally wanted to use this thing, this thing, the firing range is super long, and the command can be more powerful than the 82 mortar, but this kind of artillery is too troublesome to use than the mortar, and the command requirements are extremely high.

Although the artillery command technology has made great progress recently, he really can't do this thing.

"Then, I'll give these six cannons to Iwamori?"

Li Yunlong squinted at Wang Chengzhu.

"Yes, Captain."

Wang Chengzhu sighed again.

"Six?"

Yan Sheng, who was looking at the cannon and marveled at Boss Chen's high-quality weapons as always, widened his eyes.

He thought that there were only two cannons, and the first time he got his hands on the 92 type was also two, and the 120 heavy force was also two.

Six gates, this number, is comparable to half a brigade of devils, and a battalion in the national capital.

In the second-line division of the devils, there are only two mountain guns in one artillery squadron and twelve mountain guns in one brigade.

Although an artillery company in the national government also has four mountain guns and a battalion of twelve mountain guns, it is claimed that in fact, if an artillery company has two guns, it must be a descendant unit, and four must be an elite unit. Unlike on his side, there are three spare barrels for each gun, and if there is no complete gun mount, three new guns can be assembled.

"Yes, Six."

李云龙 says:

"Hurry up and train well, try to master these six guns as soon as possible, and after a while, there will be a task for you. Proper live-fire training can be carried out, as long as you report to me or the political commissar. ”

"Yes."

Iwamori stands in salute.

At the same time, he frowned.

He can use this kind of cannon, but none of the soldiers in the regiment can use this kind of cannon, and then use it skillfully, and the whole company will run in, it will take at least three months or so, and a company can form combat effectiveness.

Listen to the tone of the head of the regiment, the sooner the better.

If you want to speed up the formation of combat effectiveness, you can either conduct a lot of live-fire training, but this is too wasteful of artillery shells, and he is reluctant, or there are enough experienced artillerymen to join, for example, those old gunners of the headquarters artillery regiment, as long as a few, can greatly increase the speed of training and running-in.

But those people are treasures, will the headquarters let them go?

"Tell me if you have any difficulties."

Seeing Yan Sheng's frowning brows, Li Yunlong said.

The sooner these six guns form combat effectiveness, the better, shelling Taiyuan Airport, shelling the Devil's stronghold, and shelling the railway Devil's Army······ This mountain cannon has a long range, high accuracy, and stronger destructive power than mortars, so it has many more uses.

Turning his head to look at the grain on the side, he hesitated for a while, and Yan Sheng leaned over to Li Yunlong and whispered a few words.

"Hahaha..."

After listening, Li Yunlong laughed:

"Okay, little thing, I'll get you over in a few days."

Isn't it just about people?

This time, the things he brought were not simple to order people. One gun for one gunner, the boss and the division commander have to give me good cigarettes and wine, by the way, the brigade headquarters also has an artillery battalion.

"Regiment commander, then I dare to guarantee that after the personnel are in place, I will be able to form combat effectiveness in a month."

Iwamori is full of confidence.

"Pillar, the two 120 heavy forces of the second artillery company will be given to you, train hard, and strive to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

Li Yunlong then said to Wang Chengzhu.

"Yes."

Wang Chengzhu's eyes lit up.

Although there is no mountain cannon, the 120 heavy force is not bad, and the power is comparable to the devil's heavy artillery.

"Regiment commander, who commands those 82 mortars?"

Subsequently, Yan Sheng and Wang Chengzhu asked in unison.

This time it will definitely be supplemented with 82 mortars, which are the best infantry in the regiment and indispensable for accompanying firepower, but it is very difficult to command different guns together, and the two do not want to command.

"Form a new artillery company, and the two of you will select a good seedling from the regiment to serve as the company commander of the third artillery company." Li Yunlong said.

"Good seedlings? Be. ”

Iwamori nodded directly.

The losses in the personnel of the artillery units have not been large, and one of the outstanding seedlings with command ability has also emerged, and there is no problem in picking out one.

Iwamori continues to comment:

"Regiment commander, should we form an artillery battalion to command the artillery unit in the regiment?"

"Artillery battalion?"

Li Yunlong waved his hand: "No, just three artillery companies, if there is anything to report directly to me or the political commissar." ”

Don't you know what it means to be wealthy?

Our brigade headquarters commands five main regiments, and there is only one artillery battalion! Formation of an artillery battalion on the labor and management side, what do you make the brigade headquarters think?

And once the artillery battalion is formed, it means that the artillery on his side is overflowing, and when the time comes, Kong Jie and Ding Wei, the two dogs, will definitely come to stick up with a dead face.
