Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1091: The prodigal group develops a plan!

Of course, these special training camp officers and soldiers who got full marks not only gained respect from Chinese soldiers.

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

"I am announcing here on behalf of the regiment headquarters of the Four Elements Regiment that all remaining officers and soldiers of the special training battalion will be assigned their military ranks a year ago after joining the various divisions of the Four Elements Regiment!" Tang Dao stared at the tearful soldiers in front of him, loudly shouted.

The officers and soldiers of the special training camp headed by the big northern man opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

This is the treatment they never dreamed of. They came back after exchanging prisoners of war between China and Japan. On the occasion of employing people, it is good to be able to regain their military status, especially those officers and sergeants. Return to the army according to the previous rank.

"In order to commend all the Chinese soldiers who still maintain their hearts as soldiers in the enemy camp, our regiment will reissue half a year's military salary 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.

The meaning of Tang Tuanzuo is very clear. The repayment of half a year's military salary is for all the returning troops, which naturally includes the 542 officers and soldiers of the original 270 regiment.

Serving as a soldier, how can you be unhappy, it is the money to support your family, even a low-level private, you can have four or fifty yuan!
"This adds up to 2000 people! Can our four-element regiment do it!" After Qin Ruoyu was happy, he was worried about the financial situation of the regiment headquarters.

This is a huge sum of 10,000+ oceans, so much money from the Four Elements Regiment stationed in the mountains?
"Hey, brother, you can relax! Our chief is a good fighter in war, but the level of collecting money is just as good as fighting in war!" Li Jiujin comforted his little brother with a smile.

"By the way, you remember, you smoked me a few cigarettes just now, remember to give me another box when you get a replacement military salary, or don't blame my brother for not being loyal, just go to your company for a meal if you have nothing to do." The comfort was over. The veteran Youzi then reminded Qin Ruoyu who didn't know how proud he was going to be.

Qin Ruoyu.
If it weren't for this guy who was still holding his excited tears and snot all over his face in the morning, he really wondered if his old brother who had worked hard together had been transferred by this stingy guy in front of him.

For someone who spoke so confidently about Cengfan, he might be the only one in the entire Four Elements Group!
Not to mention that Qin Ruoyu was worried, even the officers and soldiers of the special training camp were also worried that the Four Elements Regiment did not have the financial resources.

"Sir, we are already satisfied if we can keep our previous military ranks.
wanted. "The officers and soldiers of the special training camp headed by the northern man named Fan Mobei chose to give up after cheering and applauding.

"When I talk about Tang Dao, I always spit and nail, and I can afford it when I say it. When all of you replenish the ministries, everything will be stable, and the military salary will be paid in place." Tang Dao waved his hand and refused. The kindness of the officers and soldiers of the special training camp who paid what is called money.

When he returned from Jincheng this time, he specially exchanged 50 cash at Citibank as a spare, and the fee was deducted from the order that he hadn't fully withdrawn. This small amount of money is nothing to Laura, the little foreign girl. It was also very refreshing to agree.

Although it was agreed with the 921 Division that the payment for transporting that batch of weapons and equipment was the 75 mountain guns eliminated by the Four Elements Regiment, the 10th Group Army dispatched regular troops, militias, and mobilized people to ensure the safety of transporting this batch of weapons and equipment. [-] people consume a lot of military food.

It seems to Shanpao that the [-]th Army has gained a lot of benefits, but for the battalions, companies and ordinary soldiers below, they only know that they are exhausted and have nothing to do. Next time they think about doing this, I am afraid they will not be so willingly.

Therefore, after Tang Dao arrived, he asked the Military Supplies Department to send someone to send 921 oceans for transportation to the 15 Division Headquarters, and asked the [-]th Army to distribute the troops according to the contribution of each department. As for how much to distribute, that is the [-]th Army itself. The matter is gone, and the previous promises remain unchanged.

Now, can the top and bottom of the [-]th Army be satisfied?
In terms of understanding people's hearts, Tang Tuanzuo must do it.

There are still 35 oceans left, which is enough for the whole group of the Four Elements to rattle around 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 departments of the Four Elements Regiment, or the 542 members of the original 270 regiment, after seeing the new equipment redistributed to each battalion and company by the Four Elements Regiment and the eliminated After getting the old equipment, I finally knew why Tang Tuanzuo dared to boast so much.

The Independent 39th Brigade was originally the elite of the 29th Army. It can basically have one light machine gun per squad, and even some infantry squads can have two grenadiers. The remaining infantry basically has a gun. An infantry company has 2 light machine guns More than a dozen grenadiers and 9 rifles, with this light firepower configuration, surpassed an infantry squadron of the Japanese army by a cliff.

The 542 Regiment originally belonged to the 88th Division. It was one of the first elite units to be refitted in the future to be called the German Armor Division. Needless to say, the light firepower of light machine guns and submachine guns, an infantry battalion even has 6 heavy machine guns and 2 mortars The heavy firepower of the artillery, even in the face of a Japanese infantry brigade, has the power to fight.

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

However, after touching the equipment delivered to them with their own hands, they realized that their layout is really too small.

The four-element regiment and the infantry regiment they imagined are two completely different concepts.

If we look at weapons and equipment, the Kuhaha of the Sichuan Army is a tenant struggling on the line of life and death, and ordinary troops are considered middle peasants. If their former infantry regiments can be called small landlords, then the Four Elements Regiment is completely a bank in the city.
Take a deep breath, filled with the smell of copper.

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 deep influence 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 about 400 people. In addition, there are those who are willing to go to the front line, and the 4th Battalion also needs artillery, signal soldiers, medical soldiers, engineers, cooking soldiers, grooms and other arms. 600 chose to join the 4th Battalion.

4营和其他三个步兵营的编制一样，总共编制4个连1个排，3个步兵连1个机炮连以及一个警卫排，全营正式编制高达1256人。

600特训营官兵加上542团270人竟然还填不满这个编制，另外还从其他三个步兵营抽调了100人外加从辎重营中补充了近300新兵，这些也就罢了。

A large establishment does not mean a strong combat effectiveness, and this group of soldiers who have stayed in the elite army knows it well.

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

For example, the 4th Battalion and 3rd Company, with Army Captain Fan Mobei as the deputy company commander, Fan Mobei, as the deputy company commander level officer, first issued the 'Black Star' pistol that the Sixing Regiment's arsenal had already begun mass production.

And this kind of high-end 'Black Star' pistol is not only available to officers above the lieutenant rank, all sergeants and special arms, such as machine gunners, machine gun sub-shooters, artillery, engineers, cooks, and signal soldiers, basically They are all hands-on.

It turned out that as Tang Tuanzuo bought a large number of machine tools and materials in LY, he had already manufactured several "Black Star" pistols according to the design drawings, and spent two months to complete the live ammunition test and various data of the "Black Star" pistol. After calibration, mass production of the 'Black Star' pistol started two months ago.

In two months, a total of 3000 'Black Star' pistols have been manufactured, enough for the entire regiment to equip.

Taking advantage of the timing of this change, Tang Dao simply took one step and eliminated all the original Southern Fourteen including the Browning pistol. Including him, the officers, sergeants and special arms of the Four Elements Regiment were all equipped with this weapon. A 'Black Star' pistol with an effective range of up to [-] meters.

This will greatly enhance the firepower of the Four Elements Regiment when the two armies meet in close combat!

Just imagine, when the Japanese army rushed into the trenches with long rifles, the officers and soldiers of the Four-row Regiment with such a powerful pistol could completely empty the 8 bullets in their guns in a few seconds, without worrying too much about accidentally injuring their comrades. At the very least, a gun can kill one or two enemies!
Even if an infantry company is equipped with 60 bayonets, it can kill 60 enemies in the first face-to-face before fighting bayonets, and can stun the enemies in front of them!
But if this made Fan Mobei, who had served as the company commander of the guard, stare wide-eyed, then he would underestimate the northern soldiers who personally beheaded three Japanese soldiers during the night raid on the Great Wall that day.

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

Each infantry platoon has two doors. For this reason, a mortar squad of 2 people is specially set up for the infantry platoon. All members of the grenadier team in the original squad are assigned to this mortar squad.

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

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

Regardless of the long-range and short-range firepower, they all beat the Japanese army with the same establishment. An infantry platoon with 4 infantry squads and a mortar squad can completely beat up two Japanese infantry squads.

But this is not counted. If it is enlarged to the infantry company level, according to the organization, the infantry company has a machine gun platoon in addition to three infantry squads.

The machine gun platoon is equipped with 3 82mm mortars, 3 MG34 tripod heavy machine guns, and 3 Maxim heavy machine guns. If you add the 6 60mm mortars equipped by the whole company, this heavy firepower can be compared with that of the Japanese army. The infantry brigade faced off, and Fan Mobei was right.

Moreover, an infantry company has an establishment of more than 300 people, which is enough to ensure sufficient troop input, which is stronger than the combat power of an elite infantry battalion of the previous army.

Originally, Fan Mobei wondered if it was because the battalion commander Shangguan Yun he was following was the old superior of Tang Tuanzuo, so the newly established fourth battalion was better equipped. He only found out when he asked his company commander Tang Li privately. The infantry battalions are all of the same establishment and equipment.

This is too proud!Fan Mobei opened his mouth wide.

I thought that the Song Army Commander was willing to spend a lot of money in building the army back then. Compared with Tang Tuanzuo, I don't know where he was dumped.

No wonder the Four Elements Group said that they wiped out a mixed brigade of the Japanese army with the cooperation of friendly forces!I used to think that this was a bit of 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 still the infantry's outburst of amazement at the local tyrant's equipment.

That is, they have not seen more powerful equipment.

There is an artillery company in the infantry battalion of the Four Elements Regiment. Qin Ruoyu, who was originally the company commander, thought that it should be an artillery company based on his inherent thinking. With a few Maxim heavy machine guns, it is very satisfying.

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

His artillery platoon turned out to be 3 double-barreled 'wonderful cannons'. After the special explanation from the Military Supply Department, he realized that the thin barrels of this artillery can be used as 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and the thick barrels are 80mm howitzers. , It can also be used as an 80mm mortar at a large angle.

Nearby, you can fight armor and permanent fortifications; far away, you can fight infantry and heavy firepower; although I haven't used it yet, I think it's awesome.

The second platoon of artillery simply used Japanese 92 infantry guns. The direct firepower of 4 92 infantry guns can completely cover all targets within 2000 meters.

But these are really not the most powerful. The most powerful thing is that his artillery company even has a cannon platoon, which is composed of 3 Su Luotong 20mm cannons and 6 American Browning 12.7mm heavy guns. The terrible firepower of machine guns.

According to the explanation of the staff department, the function of this machine gun platoon is to provide heavy fire support to infantry positions with flat fire. The range of these 9 big guys is more than 2000 meters. If there is an attack by Japanese planes, the machine gun platoon can The basic protection of the airspace around 1000 meters will at least prevent the Japanese army from easily launching bombing attacks below 1000 meters, and provide primary air defense for the infantry battalion.

As for the higher-level air defense, it will be handed over to the air defense company of the artillery battalion directly under the battalion headquarters. It is a terrible air defense firepower composed of 24 Surotong 20mm machine guns and 24 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

Just hearing that number makes one's scalp tingle!
Qin Ruoyu didn't know that this was just the mid-level version of the air defense company that Tang Tuanzuo envisioned. When Lou Dehua sent the 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun over, Grunov sent the quadruple-mounted combat nation 12.7mm heavy After the machine gun is assembled, the altitude of 3000 meters is no longer a safe zone for Japanese aircraft, and when the altitude of 1000 meters is densely covered with bullets, that is the advanced version of the air defense company of the Four Elements Regiment.

Of course, the equipment alone is not counted. In order to prepare for the upcoming war, it took three days to complete the deployment of personnel from the 4th Battalion. After the appointment of the company, platoon, and squad leaders, the Four Elements Regiment immediately carried out large-scale military training activities for the whole regiment.

The so-called military training is no longer simple physical training and tactical explanations, but actually live ammunition training.

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

Artillery conducts live ammunition shelling, and it is stipulated that each gunner fires no less than 10 cannons with his own hands every day, and the consumption of shells for one artillery piece is not less than 50 rounds.

The consumption of ammunition made the old artillerymen who knew the background of the Four Elements Regiment feel distressed, let alone the new officers and soldiers who had never been trained with such live ammunition.

They don't care how tired they are, but after a day of training and counting the shell casings, they all start complaining that their group is a super prodigal son!
This is the typical mentality of the poor. Even if you suddenly give him tens of millions, he will only dare to drink two extra cups of soy milk with breakfast.

As for Tang Dao, there are enough artillery and enough shells. If it can't be thrown accurately on the enemy's head, what is the use of a ball?
Live ammunition training is the training method that can most quickly improve the artillery level, there is no one.

Isn't it just some money?Lao Tzu can afford it now.

Besides, there is also 'penicillin', an old hen that can lay golden eggs, Tang Tuanzuo is afraid of a bird!

Before Tang Tuanzuo arrived in Songhu, the Four Elements Group had followed Tang Dao's instructions to send three students who were proficient in Eagle language, four guard company sergeants and the purification method of penicillin to HD before going to Jincheng.

These seven people will represent Tang Dao's registered company in the United States to cooperate with the Rockefeller consortium to develop penicillin, establish contact with Tang Dao through their own means, and be responsible for purchasing some materials Tang Dao needs.

Originally, Tang Dao cared most about Erya, his former orderly and now the deputy commander of the health company. His extreme trust was one aspect. Maybe Tang Dao subconsciously meant to keep Erya away from the flames of war.

But Erya refused, and went to find Tantai Mingyue in private, Tantai Mingyue respected Erya's decision, maybe she herself was not willing to lose this deputy who was performing better and better, in the end this job could only be done. It fell on the head of the guard company commander Peng Chong. He selected four backbones from his own guard company. The teacher and Lao Tantai's favorite student.

Such a combination is enough for the team to guarantee enough loyalty and also have a certain ability to protect themselves.

Moreover, Tang Dao had to personally authorize many matters that really determined the direction of the funds, which was promised by Xiao Yang Niu to Tang Dao in person.

More than 20 days later, the group had already set foot on the cargo ship back to the United States with the little foreign girl. In less than two months, the first fund could be transferred back to China through Citibank.

Tang Tuanzuo certainly didn't care that the small amount of money spent on live ammunition training was just a fraction of the huge amount of money in the future.

Of course, Sharkey can’t fight like a bully. Every gun has a live ammunition training recorder, who is hundreds of meters away from the pre-marked target and hides in the anti-gun hole to record the training of the artillery. How many shots hit the target and so on.

After one day of training, the data will be submitted to the staff and handed over to the artillery squad, so that they can understand where their problems are. It doesn’t matter if they almost played during training. Finding and solving problems is the key to this big training. main purpose.

If the training effect is still unsatisfactory for three consecutive days, the artillery company of the artillery battalion will send more professional artillery instructors to provide on-site guidance.

Compared with the daily consumption of 50 rounds per gun, the consumption of bullets is even more jaw-dropping.

Tang Tuanzuo, who personally formulated the large-scale military training plan, required that each infantry soldier, supply soldier, engineer soldier, medical soldier, signal soldier, etc., have no less than 100 rounds of live ammunition training per person per day.

If the consumption of machine gun shooters such as machine guns and heavy machine guns is added, the daily supply of ammunition to each department by the Four Elements Regiment's Military Supplies Department is more than 60 rounds.

People in the Four Elements Group felt their scalps go numb when they heard this number. If Brigadier Cheng heard it, they would definitely open their mouths and scold: "Damn it, the laws of heaven are not fair!"

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

The arsenal, which is working hard to make bullets, now has the strength to produce 20 rounds of bullets per day, and there is not much copper. Under the suggestion of Tang Tuanzuo, steel cores are used first, and the millions of rounds previously hoarded are enough for the four-line regiment The whole group used this extravagant training for ten and a half months.
