Among them, in addition to the automobile company under the direct jurisdiction of the battalion headquarters, the three large vehicle companies are basically assigned to the three major infantry battalions in peacetime, and the three packhorse platoons under the packhorse company are basically assigned to the three artillery companies under the artillery battalion. However, the supply battalion only contains artillery. Each class has 12 students.
That means that there are 12 mortars in the baggage camp, plus the firepower squad of each company, and more than 20 light machine guns and grenade launchers. These firepower alone are no longer weaker than an ordinary infantry regiment. .
Judging from the current establishment, even if the supply camp is mostly composed of new soldiers and it actually goes to the battlefield, if there are veterans to support the formation, its combat effectiveness will at least not be weaker than that of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army.
No wonder Tang Tuanzuo said that those disabled veterans should not be afraid of having nowhere to go, so the supply camp had many more squad platoon leaders, as well as so many platoon-level political propagandists and deputy propagandists, which could accommodate at least a hundred people.
Although the veterans who lost arms and legs on the battlefield are disabled, no one dares to ignore them. Combat prowess aside, if they crawl out from the dead and survive, the recruits have to accept it. If they don't accept it, they don't have to wait. What about military law? Those veterans and their comrades who hold important positions in various ministries can also use their fists to let them know what it means to be a veteran.
Nepotism is not a good word, but it is real. No one can eliminate the existence of this relationship, and Tang Tuanzuo cannot. Just like him, he also has to take care of the soldiers who have followed him from birth to death. Same.
Among the more than 60 officers and soldiers who followed him to fight their way out of Sihang Warehouse and have survived to this day, the lowest position is still a non-commissioned officer squad leader, and the fastest-promoted ones like Leng Feng have become the commander of the main battalion. Cheng Tietshou, Li Jiu Jin, Lao Hei, Yang Xiaoshan, etc. became deputy battalion commanders, and company commanders. Gu Xishui, Niu Er, Heizi, etc. were also deputy company and platoon level officers. Although they were small in number, they were definitely important backbones. , leading at least one-third of the strength of the now increasingly large Four Elements Group.
Of course, in addition to having the support of their comrades, veterans also have combat experience that recruits need. Although the fighting spirit of the Four Lines Regiment is not afraid of death, no one wants to die. The experience imparted by veterans who survived the hail of bullets can reduce the casualty rate of the troops by at least 20 percentage points. In order to survive, the recruits will not take it lightly. Unless he is a fool, his disabled squad leader can no longer run fast and can no longer pick up a rifle and fight hand-to-hand.
The huge baggage battalion, in addition to daily transportation tasks, also bears the important task of transporting new soldiers to various combat units. This is one of the reasons why the ministries dare not ignore it. At this point, the establishment of the four battalions directly under the headquarters of the Fourth Line Regiment has been announced. The strength of these four battalions alone has exceeded the previous strength of the entire regiment of the Fourth Line Regiment. Everyone is naturally more interested in the establishment of the three main infantry battalions. To look forward to.
The establishment of three infantry battalions certainly lived up to expectations.
The first infantry battalion has a total of 1,256 people. If the 395 people from the first cart company of the transport battalion are included, the actual combat number is 1,651 people): Battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiong (part-time), battalion instructor (vacant), deputy battalion commander Major Zheng Zeshi , battalion deputy instructor captain, under the jurisdiction of:

The 2nd Infantry Battalion has the same number of personnel as the battalion. The battalion commander is Lieutenant Colonel Guo Shouzhi, the battalion instructor (vacant), the deputy battalion commander is Major Wang Tieshuan, and the battalion deputy instructor is a captain. It is under the jurisdiction of:
1. Battalion Headquarters: The same battalion is organized and equipped.
2. Second Artillery Company: Company Commander Lieutenant Liang Yingqi.
3. The Fourth Infantry Company: Company Commander Captain Qian Dazhu.
4. The fifth infantry company: company commander Captain Cai Yongguan.
5. Infantry Company Sixth: Company Commander Captain Shen Chongxiao.
Three Infantry Battalion: Battalion Commander Major Leng Feng, Battalion Instructor (vacant), Deputy Battalion Commander Major Mo Guangyao, Battalion Deputy Instructor Captain, under the jurisdiction of:
1. Battalion Headquarters: The same battalion is organized and equipped.
2. The third artillery company: company commander, Lieutenant Mo Songzi.
3. Infantry Company 7: Company commander Captain Li Jijin.
4. Eighth Infantry Company: Company Commander Captain Luo Xingbang.
5. Infantry Company 9: Company Commander Captain Sun Zheng.
In terms of military rank, all infantry company commanders who were originally only lieutenants have been promoted to captains, which means that a large number of sergeants will be promoted to lieutenants.
In terms of personnel and firepower organization, the infantrymen were even more delighted.
The three major infantry battalions, each battalion has completely surpassed the Japanese infantry brigade in terms of strength. Not to mention the heavy firepower, it has 9 mortars, 6 combat artillery, 4 infantry guns, and 15 heavy machine guns, which is almost the same as that of the Japanese army. Several times the heavy firepower of an infantry brigade.
The infantry company's machine gun platoon alone has three mortars and five heavy machine guns, which can completely crush the two Japanese infantry squadrons.
Even, theoretically speaking, if the large vehicle company of the baggage battalion is added to them, any infantry battalion, from the strength to the light and heavy firepower configuration, has the strength to be invincible against two Japanese infantry brigades.
Take the original words of Lieutenant Colonel Guo Shouzhi, who was overjoyed: As long as the regimental commander can provide me with all the soldiers according to the establishment, with enough bullets and artillery shells, let alone one or two Japanese infantry brigades, just an infantry regiment, I will come to the Second Battalion It's not a waste of his time.
Although this is somewhat complacent, for a veteran who has been on the battlefield for more than ten years to say such a thing also shows that the commanders of the three major infantry battalions are satisfied with the strength of their own infantry battalions.
Of course, most of these are still on paper.
There is currently no shortage of weapons and equipment in the four-tiered regiment, and even many of the equipment will be replaced with cannons in the next three months. A large number of Czech-made and imitation Czech-made equipment will be replaced by imported German-made equipment.
What the Si Xing Regiment lacks is soldiers, a large number of new soldiers.
Because, according to the establishment established by Tang Tuanzuo, the soldier gap of the Sixing Regiment will be about 4,500.
The next focus of the Si Xing Regiment will be on recruiting and training troops, and there will not be much time left for them.
The Battle of Xuzhou has been going on for more than a month now. Both China and Japan have their own victories and defeats. The top leaders of both sides know that no one can eat their opponent in one bite as they once expected. The hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers on the battlefield have also entered a period of exhaustion. .
Anyone with some military knowledge will know that if the Battle of Xuzhou ends, the Japanese North China Front Army will focus its operations on Jin Province. It is a military group with at least 300,000 troops, and the real **** storm will come.
Tang Tuanzuo's drastic expansion of the entire regiment was precisely in response to this.
ˆ PS: It's the last day of 2022. I had something to do during the day, so the update was a little late. I hurriedly and slowly finished the compilation. At this point, I can wish all book friends a Happy New Year!
