Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1091

Chapter 1091 The prodigal group's training plan!

Of course, these officers and soldiers of the special training camp who received perfect scores not only gained the respect from Chinese soldiers.

Tang Tuanzuo, who has always insisted on grasping both spiritual and material things, has a real surprise yet to come.

"On behalf of the Sixth Army Regiment Headquarters, I am here to announce that all the remaining officers and soldiers from the special training camp will have the same military ranks as those assigned a year ago after joining the Four Lines Regiment!" Tang Dao stared at the tearful soldiers in front of him and shouted shouted.

　　The officers and soldiers of the special training camp headed by the Northern Han Dynasty opened their eyes in disbelief.

This is a treatment they never dreamed of. They came back only after China and Japan exchanged prisoners of war. On this occasion of employment, it is good to regain military status, especially those officers and sergeants, but they never thought that they could do so. Return to the army according to previous rank.

"In recognition of all the Chinese soldiers who still maintain their soldier's heart in the enemy camp, our regiment will reissue half a year's military pay to the returning soldiers!" Tang Dao continued to announce with a smile.

“Boom!”

After a moment of silence, the audience burst into thunderous applause, including Shangguan Yun, Qin Ruoyu and others.

Tang Tuanzuo's meaning is very clear. The half-year military pay will be reimbursed to all returning troops, which naturally includes the 270 officers and soldiers of the original 542nd Regiment.

How can a soldier not be happy? That is the money to support his family. Even a junior private can earn forty or fifty yuan!

“This adds up to 2,000 people! How can our four-line regiment do it?” After Qin Ruoyu was happy, he felt worried about the financial situation of the regiment headquarters.

This is a huge sum of more than 100,000 yuan. How can the Four Lines Regiment garrisoned in the mountains get so much money?

"Hey, brother, please relax! Our commander is a good fighter, but the level of collecting money is not as good as fighting!" Li Jijin comforted his little brother with a smile.

"By the way, remember, you smoked me a few cigarettes just now. When you get your military pay reissue, remember to give me a pack of cigarettes. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being loyal. I'll come to your company to make a living when I have nothing to do." The consolation was completed. The veteran Youzi then reminded Qin Ruoyu, who didn't know how powerful he was about to be.

Qin Ruoyu.

If this guy hadn't been crying with excitement and his nose was muddy in the morning, he really doubted that his old brother who had fought together had been swayed by this stingy guy in front of him.

Looking at the entire Si Xing Group, I'm afraid he is the only one who speaks so confidently about cheating!

Not to mention Qin Ruoyu's worries, even the officers and soldiers in the special training camp were worried that the Four Elements Regiment would not have the financial resources.

“Sir, we are satisfied if we can retain our previous military rank. We don't need military pay.

wanted. "After cheering and applauding, the officers and soldiers of the special training camp, led by the big northern man named Fan Mobei, chose to give up.

"I, Tang Dao, always talk about what I say, and I will give you what I can afford. When all of you have replenished the ministries, everything will be stable, and the military pay will be paid in place." Tang Dao waved his hand and rejected a group of strangers. What's the kindness of the officers and soldiers of the special training camp?

When he returned from Jincheng this time, he specifically exchanged 500,000 yuan in cash for spare use at Citibank, and the fee was deducted from the orders he had not yet completed. This small amount of money was nothing to Laura, a little foreign girl. I agreed very readily.

Although it was agreed with the 921st Division that the reward for transporting that batch of weapons and equipment would be the 75-meter mountain artillery that had been eliminated by the Si Xing Regiment, in order to ensure the safety of the transportation of this batch of weapons and equipment, the Eightyth Group Army dispatched regular troops, militia and mobilized more than 100 civilians. 100,000 people consume a lot of military rations.

The mountain artillery was seen as a great benefit to the 80th Army, but for the battalions, companies and ordinary soldiers below, they only knew that they were exhausted and had nothing to do. If they want to do this next time, I am afraid they will not be so I am willing to do so.

Therefore, after Tang Dao arrived, he asked the Munitions Department to send someone to send 150,000 yuan for transportation to the 921st Division Headquarters, and asked the Eightyth Army to distribute it to each department according to the contribution of each department. As for how much to distribute, it was the Eightyth Army itself. matter, and the previous commitments remain unchanged.

At this time, the Eighty-fifth Army cannot be satisfied and do not seek action?

When it comes to understanding people's hearts, Tang Tuanzuo must do it.

There are still 350,000 oceans left, which is enough to keep the entire Si Xing Group alive for a while.

In the next two days, whether it was the officers and soldiers of the special training camp who were dispersed to join the various divisions of the Four Lines Regiment, or the 270 people from the original 542nd Regiment, after seeing the new equipment redistributed to each battalion and company of the Four Lines Regiment and the eliminated After getting old equipment, I finally understand why Tang Tuanzuo dared to boast so much about Haikou.

The 39th Independent Brigade was originally the elite of the 29th Army. It can basically have one light machine gun per squad, and some infantry squads can even have two grenades. The remaining infantry basically has one gun, and an infantry company has 9 light machine guns. More than a dozen grenade launchers and 100 rifles, with this light firepower configuration, were more than a single Japanese infantry squadron.

The 542th Regiment originally belonged to the 88th Division. It was one of the first elite units to be re-equipped and would be called the German Arms Division in the future. Needless to say, it has light firepower such as light machine guns and submachine guns. An infantry battalion even has 6 heavy machine guns and 2 mortars. With such heavy firepower, even if it faces a Japanese infantry brigade, it has the power to fight.

To put it bluntly, they are not novices who have never seen the world.

However, after stroking the equipment that was handed out to their hands, they realized that their layout was really too small.

The four-line regiment and the infantry regiment in their imagination are two completely different concepts.

If we compare it in terms of weapons and equipment, the Sichuan Army is like a tenant farmer struggling on the line of life and death. The ordinary troops are considered middle peasants. If their former infantry regiment can be called small landowners, the Sichuan Army is completely the bank of the city.

Taking a deep breath, the smell of copper filled the air.

Take the newly established 4th Battalion as an example!

Although Tang Tuanzuo was destined to be the most dazzling person that day, Shangguan Yun, the commander of the 4th Battalion, also left a profound impact on the officers and soldiers of the special training camp.

There are three guard companies in the special training camp, with a total number of approximately 400 people. In addition, there are those who are willing to join the front-line troops, and the 4th Battalion also needs artillery, communications, medical, engineers, cooks, grooms and other services, with a total of approximately 600 people chose to join the 4th Battalion.

The 4th Battalion has the same organization as the other three infantry battalions, with a total of 4 companies, 1 platoon, 3 infantry companies, 1 machine gun company, and a guard platoon. The official establishment of the whole battalion is as high as 1,256 people.

The 600 officers and men of the special training battalion plus the 270 men of the 542nd Regiment were not enough to fill this establishment. In addition, 100 men were transferred from the other three infantry battalions and nearly 300 new recruits were added from the supply camp, and that was all.

Huge establishment does not mean strong combat effectiveness, as this group of soldiers who have been in elite troops all know.

But the combination of sophisticated weapons, a large establishment, and veterans with combat experience will definitely have sufficient combat effectiveness.

For example, the 3rd Company of the 4th Battalion, for which Army Captain Fan Mobei serves as the deputy company commander, was the first to be issued the 'Black Star' pistols that the Sixings Regiment Arsenal had begun mass production.

And this kind of 'Black Star' pistol, which looks like a high-end product at first glance, is not only available to officers above the rank of lieutenant. It is basically used by sergeants and special arms, such as machine gunners, sub-machine gunners, artillerymen, engineers, cooks, and communications corps. Everyone has one hand.

It turned out that as Tang Tuanzuo bought a large amount of machine tools and materials in LY, he had already built several arsenal of 'Black Star' pistols based on the design drawings, and spent two months completing the live ammunition test and various data of the 'Black Star' pistol. After calibration, mass production of the 'Black Star' pistol was started two months ago.

Within two months, a total of 3,000 'Black Star' pistols have been produced, enough to equip the entire regiment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to change equipment, Tang Dao simply eliminated all the original Southern Fourteeners including Browning pistols. Including him, the officers, sergeants of the Four Rows, and special units not equipped with rifles and submachine guns were all equipped with this A 'Black Star' pistol with an effective range of up to 100 meters.

This will greatly enhance the firepower of the four-line regiment when the two armies meet in a narrow battle in close combat!

Just imagine, when the Japanese army rushed into the trenches with long rifles, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment with such powerful pistols could empty the 8 bullets in their guns in a few seconds without worrying too much about accidentally injuring their comrades. At least one gun can kill one or two enemies!

Even if an infantry company is equipped with 60 guns, it can kill 60 enemies in the first encounter before bayonet fighting, and can stun the enemy in person!

But if this made Fan Mobei, who had served as a guard company commander, widen his eyes, it would be too small to underestimate the northern soldiers who personally chopped off the heads of three Japanese soldiers during the night attack on the Great Wall that day.

What really surprised Fan Mobei was that all the infantry companies had eliminated Japanese-style grenades. It was not that the Four Lines Regiment did not have them, but that the Four Lines Regiment had a better substitute, the French Empire's Brand 60mm mortar. .

Each infantry platoon has two guns. For this purpose, a 15-man mortar squad was specially set up for the infantry platoon. All members of the original squad grenade team were assigned to this mortar squad.

If there is a combat mission, several infantry squads in the entire platoon must help the mortar squad carry artillery shells, ensuring that each gun has no less than 30 shells. If there are still insufficient shells, they need to apply for them from the battalion headquarters. There are corresponding baggage companies to help transport various types of ammunition.

The infantry squad level has 2 submachine guns, 3 Czech semi-automatic rifles, 1 Czech light machine gun, and 8 Czech single-shot rifles.

Regardless of long-range or short-range firepower, they can defeat Japanese troops of the same organization. An infantry platoon with four infantry squads and one mortar squad can completely defeat two Japanese infantry squads. But this does not count. If we zoom in to the infantry company level, according to the organization, in addition to the three infantry squads, the infantry company also has a machine gun platoon.

The cannon platoon is equipped with 3 82mm mortars, 3 MG34 tripod heavy machine guns, and 3 Maxim heavy machine guns. If you add in the 6 60mm mortars equipped by the whole company, this heavy firepower will be the same as that of the Japanese army. Facing the infantry brigade, Fan Mobei was not weak.

Furthermore, an infantry company has a strength of more than 300 people, which is enough to ensure sufficient troop input, which is stronger than the combat effectiveness of an elite infantry battalion of the previous unit.

Originally, Fan Mobei was wondering whether the newly established fourth battalion was better equipped because the battalion commander he was following, Shangguan Yun, was Tang Tuanzuo's old superior. However, he quietly asked his company commander Tang Li privately and found out that the four The infantry battalions are all of the same organization and equipped with the same equipment.

This is too arrogant! Fan Mobei opened his mouth wide at that time.

I thought that Commander Song had already spent a lot of money on building up his troops. Compared with Tang Tuanzuo, I don't know where he was left behind.

No wonder the Four Troops said that they had completely annihilated a Japanese mixed brigade with the cooperation of friendly forces! I used to think that this was a bit bragging. Even if it was really wiped out, I don't know how many infantry divisions were assembled.

Now it seems that they really have this strength.

This is how the infantrymen burst out in amazement at the wealthy equipment of the wealthy regiment.

That's because they haven't seen more powerful equipment yet.

There is an artillery company in the infantry battalion of the Fourth Line Regiment. Qin Ruoyu, who was originally the company commander, thought based on his inherent thinking that it should be the machine gun company, which was Lei Xiong's original job. There were several 82 mortars and then With the addition of a few Maxim heavy machine guns, it is very satisfying.

But when he took his 10 old subordinates and 300 men, most of whom claimed to have been artillerymen, to receive the equipment, he discovered that it was really an artillery company, and most of them were cannons, or machine guns. , that is also 12.7 mm.

His artillery platoon turned out to be three "weird guns" with double barrels. After explanation by a person from the Munitions Department, we found out that the thin barrel of this artillery can be used as a 37mm combat anti-aircraft gun, and the thick barrel is an 80mm howitzer. , it can also be used as an 80mm mortar at a large angle.

At close range, you can attack armor and permanent fortifications; at far distance, you can attack infantry and heavy firepower points. Although I haven't used it yet, I think it's pretty awesome.

The second artillery platoon simply uses Japanese 92 infantry guns. The direct firepower of four 92 infantry guns can completely cover all targets within 2,000 meters.

But these are really not the most awesome thing. The most awesome thing is that his artillery battery actually has a machine gun platoon, which is composed of 3 Surothon 20mm machine guns and 6 American Browning 12.7mm heavy guns. Terrible firepower from machine guns.

According to the explanation of the staff department, the function of this cannon platoon is to provide heavy fire support to infantry positions by firing horizontally. The horizontal firing range of these nine big machines is more than 2,000 meters. If a Japanese aircraft attacks, the cannon platoon can The basic protection of the airspace around 1,000 meters will at least prevent the Japanese army from easily launching bombing attacks below 1,000 meters and provide primary air defense for infantry battalions.

As for higher-level air defense, it is left to the air defense company of the artillery battalion directly under the battalion headquarters. It is a terrifying air defense firepower composed of 24 Sulotong 20mm machine guns and 24 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

Just hearing that number makes people's scalp numb!

Qin Ruoyu didn't know that this was just the intermediate version of the anti-aircraft company that Tang Tuanzuo envisioned. When Lou Dehua would send over the 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun, Grunov would send the quadruple-mounted Combat National 12.7mm heavy After the machine gun is assembled, the altitude of 3,000 meters is no longer a safe zone for Japanese aircraft, and when the altitude of 1,000 meters is densely covered with barrages, then it is considered an advanced version of the Four Lines Regiment Air Defense Company.

Of course, just providing equipment is not enough. In order to prepare for the upcoming war, it took three days to complete the deployment of the 4th Battalion personnel. After the leaders of each company, platoon, and squad were appointed, the Fourth Army Regiment immediately launched a large-scale training activity for the entire regiment.

The so-called military training is no longer simple physical training and tactical explanations. It is actually live-fire training.

The four infantry battalions were stationed at Dakouzidong, divided into four directions, and then deployed at the infantry company level, each looking for suitable mountains for training.

The artillery conducts live shelling. It is stipulated that each gunner should fire no less than 10 guns per day, and the shell consumption of one artillery should not be less than 50 rounds.

The consumption of ammunition made the veteran artillerymen who knew the foundation of the Four Lines Regiment feel distressed, not to mention the new officers and soldiers who had never trained with such live ammunition.

They don't care how tired they are, but after a day of training and counting the bullet casings, they all start complaining that their team member is a super loser!

This is the typical mentality of the poor. Even if you suddenly give him tens of millions, he will only dare to drink two more cups of soy milk with breakfast.

For Tang Dao, there are artillery and a sufficient amount of shells. If it can't be accurately thrown on the enemy's head, what's the use of a ball?

Live-fire training is the training method that can most quickly improve the level of artillery. There is no one.

Isn't it just some money? I can still afford it now.

Besides, there is also the old hen "Penicillin" that can lay golden eggs. Tang Tuanzuo is afraid of the bird!

Before Tang Tuanzuo arrived in Songhu, the Si Xing Tuan had already followed Tang Dao's instructions and sent three students who were proficient in Eagle Language and four sergeants of the guard company as well as the purification method of penicillin to HD before heading to Jincheng.

These seven people will register the company in the United States on behalf of Tang Dao and cooperate with the Rockefeller Foundation to develop penicillin. They will also establish contact with Tang Dao through their own methods and be responsible for purchasing some of the materials Tang Dao needs.

Originally, Tang Dao was most interested in his former orderly Erya, who is now the deputy commander of the health company. On the one hand, he had extreme trust. Perhaps Tang Dao also subconsciously wanted to keep Erya away from the flames of war.

But Erya refused, and privately went to Tantai Mingyue. Tantai Mingyue respected Erya's decision. Perhaps she herself was unwilling to lose this deputy who was performing better and better. In the end, this job could only be It fell on the guard company commander Peng Chong. He selected four backbones from his guard company. Two were Tang Dao's old subordinates, two were veterans of the 43rd Army, and the three students were also deeply influenced by Xiao He. The proud disciple who is valued by the teacher and Lao Tantai.

Such a combination is enough for this team to ensure sufficient loyalty and a certain ability to protect itself.

Moreover, many things that really determine the direction of funds require Tang Dao's personal authorization. This is what Xiaoyang Niu'er personally promised to Tang Dao.

More than twenty days have passed, and the group of people and the little foreign girl have already boarded the freighter back to the United States. In less than two months, the first payment of funds can be transferred back to the country through Citibank.

The small amount of funds currently spent on live-fire training is only a fraction of the huge funds in the future, and Tang Tuanzuo certainly doesn't care.

Of course, Sharkey can't beat him. Each gun has a live-fire training recorder. He hides in the anti-gun cave several hundred meters away from the pre-marked target to record the artillery training situation. How many meters it deviates? How many shots will hit the target, etc.

After a day's training, these data will be submitted to the staff and handed over to the artillery squad to let them understand where their problems are. It doesn't matter if they almost hit during training. The purpose of this training is to discover and solve problems. main purpose.

If the training effect is still not satisfactory after three consecutive days, the artillery battalion artillery company will send more professional artillery instructors to provide on-site guidance.

Compared to the daily consumption of 50 rounds per gun, the consumption of bullets is even more shocking.

Tang Tuanzuo, who personally formulated the large-scale military training plan, required that each infantryman, baggage trooper, engineer trooper, medical trooper, communications trooper, etc., should receive no less than 100 rounds of live-fire training per person per day.

If the consumption of machine gun shooters such as machine guns and heavy machine guns is added, the number of bullets supplied to various units by the Fourth Army Regiment Military Supplies Office every day is more than 600,000 rounds.

●The people in the Si Xing Group felt numb after hearing this number. If Brigadier Cheng had heard it, he would have opened his mouth and cursed: "What a bastard! God is unfair!"

In fact, the prodigal group now has the confidence of an arsenal.

The arsenal, which is fully engaged in making bullets, now has the capacity to produce 200,000 rounds of bullets per day. It does not have much copper. At the suggestion of Tang Tuanzuo, it first uses steel cores. Together with the millions of rounds it has previously accumulated, it is enough for the four-line regiment. The entire group trained with this extreme luxury for ten days and a half.
