Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 318 Nirvana
With the staff fully staffed, the next most important task of the garrison battalion is to equip it.

The two bosses have tried their best to support Tang Dao. There are a lot of shell guns and submachine guns on the equipment list he listed. In addition, he has also distributed 7.63 rounds of 1 caliber bullets for shell guns, and various bullets for MP series submachine guns. Ten thousand rounds.

There are many factions in the Chinese army, and the weapons they use are also different. The whole is a card of all nations.

Just like the Mauser shell guns originally produced in Germany, the most powerful ones used by the Songjiang Security Corps are [-]-ring purely imported from Germany, using [-] rounds of magazines, and there are also shell guns in the Sichuan Army, but most of them are The domestic imitation uses ten-round magazines.

The same is true for the submachine guns of the Minghua Agency. Although the 67th Army is not as powerful as the security regiment, they all use 7.63 caliber bullets for the sake of ammunition supply. However, the Songjiang security regiment uses 9mm Luger bullets. It is more powerful, but it is troublesome to replenish bullets.

These are the existing conditions, and there is no room for Tang Dao to pick and choose, so it can only reduce the difficulty of logistical supplies as much as possible.

The rationing of various types of bullets is a big headache. Tang Dao, who did not have a logistics officer at all, simply gave the 644 regiment the mottled and incomplete shell guns and submachine guns that must use 9mm Luger bullets, including bullets. It can be regarded as a kind of feedback to Colonel Wang's full support.

In this way, the caliber of bullets required by the guard battalion can be reduced to three types, 7.92 caliber machine rifle bullets suitable for Liao-made 7.63 rifles and Czech light machine guns, Mauser 11.43 caliber bullets suitable for shell guns and submachine guns, and [-] caliber bullets suitable for Maxim heavy machine guns. Caliber heavy machine gun bullets.

As for the 6.5-type rifles seized from the Japanese army, the [-]mm Tomosaka ammunition supply basically belongs to the war support, and there is no need to request payment from the headquarters.

After sorting it out, the guard battalion now has a total of 80 imported 18-ring pistols, 28 MP60 and MP40 submachine guns, and gave Peng Chong's guard company 30 pistols and [-] submachine guns, and he chose the other long guns himself. match.

Now the garrison battalion owns a lot of long guns, including the 67th rifle of the Japanese army, the Liao-made [-]th rifle used by the [-]th army, and the Hanyang-made rifle used by the security regiment and the Sichuan army.

The old guns made in Hanyang were basically eliminated, but this time Tang Dao was not willing to send someone back to repay the favor, so he stayed at the station, and he might use it at any time.

The remaining 40 shell guns, Tang Dao is mainly distributed to the three infantry companies. The basic principle is that the sergeant squad leader and the second lieutenant (lieutenant) platoon leader and above officers are all equipped with a shell gun. If you want to have other weapons, you can choose it yourself .

Of the 30 submachine guns, 27 of them were also sunk to the infantry squad. Tang Dao required the infantry squad to set up a submachine gun soldier, and the soldier must be more than three years old. This is an important supplement to the infantry squad's short-range firepower.

Whether charging or defending, this submachine gunner, who can pour out 20 bullets in three seconds, can greatly help the infantry squad with insufficient firepower.

For the last three shots, Tang Dao didn't leave it to the battalion's security squad, and all of them were handed over to the fire support company who watched eagerly to "divide the spoils" from the big guys.

The garrison battalion is not yet proud enough to equip the gunners and machine gunners of the fire support company with a short gun for self-defense. In addition to the heavy machine guns, machine guns and mortars that they need to control, they generally can only hang two grenades on their bodies. Last defense weapon.

Weapons and equipment weighing tens of kilograms at every turn doomed them to be unable to carry long guns weighing several kilograms when they carried heavy equipment and enough ammunition to move with infantry.

The last three submachine guns are given to them to form a security squad that can engage in close combat at critical moments. In fact, psychological comfort is greater than practical application.

Because, when the fire support company responsible for more than [-] meters behind the infantry has to fight the enemy, it proves that the garrison battalion is almost finished.

Of course, when a war really started, the commander would not really leave his most important fire support unit behind and ignore it.

The staff is considered the largest fire support company in the entire garrison. It has a heavy fire force with 6 mortars, 2 Oerlikon machine guns, and 6 heavy machine guns. The heavy machine gun squadron also adds the firepower value of an infantry artillery squadron.

In normal operations, even if Peng Chong's guard company didn't send an infantry platoon to protect them, the reinforced guard squad with 30 troops at the battalion headquarters was prepared for them.

As for battalion commander Tang Dao, whose protection does he need?
Not only the various heavy equipment of the fire support company made the eyes of the infantry regiments turn red with envy, Tang Dao invested heavily in the infantry squads of the three infantry companies.

The number of an infantry squad is as high as 15, which is equal to that of a Japanese squad. A sergeant squad leader is equipped with a shell gun and a rifle; a sergeant deputy squad leader usually serves as a submachine gun soldier; There are two long guns, and they are not equipped with long-handled grenades to reduce the load; the two light machine gun shooters can choose to carry grenades in addition to a Czech-style light machine gun; Three rifles, and each carries 9 grenades.

An infantry squad with this kind of firepower configuration, not to mention crushing the current Songjiang armies, even an infantry squad against the Japanese army, is also in a crushing state.

A 15-man infantry unit of the Japanese army, in addition to performing tasks alone, usually they do not have any grenadiers and light machine gun shooters, two grenadiers and two light machine guns are assigned to the infantry team.

In other words, the Japanese infantry squad basically has no independent combat capability, and the Japanese infantry squad with 54 troops is the most basic independent combat unit.

If the squad-level Japanese army encountered the infantry squad of the garrison battalion, regardless of the combat power formed by the soldiers' swords, shooting, and loads, the infantry squad of the garrison battalion would definitely crush them in terms of long-range and short-range firepower.

In this conversion, the total number of infantry platoons is still less than that of the Japanese infantry squad. It has three grenadiers, three light machine guns, and three submachine guns. It is also stronger than them in terms of long-range and short-range firepower.

One infantryman in the garrison battalion excludes three infantry squads, and there is also a platoon leader and a signal soldier. The platoon deputy basically also serves as the squad leader of an infantry squad. Platoon leader, this kind of command structure is mainly to prevent the chief officer from dying in battle, so that there can be a legitimate successor commander.

If even the deputy is killed in battle, according to the rules, the serial number chief officer of the platoon or squad will take over.

In addition to the company commander, the company headquarters has 8 soldiers, a signal soldier, two medical soldiers and five cooking soldiers.

Cooking soldiers are indispensable.

"People are iron, rice is steel, and you will be hungry if you don't eat a meal." It is not easy to be in charge of more than 100 people in the whole company. It is not easy to have two meals a day. The cooking soldier with a spear is the last card in the company commander's hand.

When selecting soldiers for the garrison battalion, even the cooking soldiers have strict requirements. Some can make pancakes, some can knead noodles, and they must also be able to shoot guns. They are all-rounders.

Such an infantry company is definitely the only one among the [-] defenders in Songjiang.

Take Zhuang Shisan as an example. He was already promoted to lieutenant colonel, but when the regular army came and was demoted to major again, he felt a little unhappy, but seeing the firepower configuration of his infantry company, he was full in an instant. blood resurrection.

At any rate, he has been a battalion commander for several years. He has never eaten pork or seen a pig walk!He knew very well that if the infantry company under him ran into the security battalion he commanded before, he could guarantee a steady victory in the environment of the block, but if he fought in the wild, I am afraid that his 700-man security battalion would be defeated. More losses than wins.

Very simple, the short-range firepower of the security battalion is fierce, but there is almost no medium- and long-range firepower except for light machine guns. However, following the example of the Japanese army, the infantry squad of the security battalion used grenades, but it can increase the strike distance to 500 meters.

An infantry company with 9 grenades can drive the opponent's light machine guns around, and cannot form continuous fire support. Don't let your infantry be ravaged by the opponent's light machine guns!
Zhuang Shisan still has a little vision.

The reason why an infantry squadron of the Japanese army is so easy to deal with a Chinese infantry company of the same level is not because it has nearly 200 people, but the most important thing is that there are 6 more grenadiers.

Grenadiers similar to miniature mortars pose a great threat to the firepower of machine guns, and Chinese infantry companies often only have two or three light machine guns, and they are targeted by several grenadiers. Even if there are field fortifications, they can't last long.

Without the firepower of the machine guns, hundreds of rifles alone could not deal with the No. 6 Japanese army with 200 light machine guns to help out.

Tang Dao strengthens the medium and long-range firepower of infantry squads and infantry platoons, which is to target the infantry squads of the Japanese army. This kind of firepower configuration is enough to ensure that the Japanese troops of the same level can be suppressed when fighting alone cannot obtain fire support.

As for the fire support company with mortars and machine guns, it is natural to ensure the heavy firepower of more than a Japanese infantry brigade with two infantry guns and 12 heavy machine guns.

In extreme cases, Tang Dao even needs to ensure that the garrison battalion can compete with the two infantry brigades of the Japanese army.

There is no need for Tang Dao to say more about this point, the two lieutenant generals should also understand.

Therefore, what is difficult is difficult, and scolding is scolding, Tang Dao basically gave him all the heavy equipment that Tang Dao asked for.

Although it would not be a waste of money, but they did their best to create a brand new army with the veterans who had survived the battle of Cangcheng as their bones and the elite of each department as their flesh.

As for whether the newly established guard battalion can be reborn brilliantly like the Nirvana phoenix and reach a higher height, it depends on Tang Dao.

As the saying goes, what kind of general, what kind of soldiers.

An army inevitably has the same temperament as its commander.

And the Tang knife is the sharpest knife in Chinese history.

A soldier of hundreds of refinements!

After a hundred battles, the cold light is still shining!
