Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 738

"Sir, here!" Er Ya who walked through the door let out a soft growl.

All the officers who were still smiling and greeting each other fell silent in an instant. Those who drank tea put down their cups, those who ate snacks hurriedly swallowed them, and those who smoked hurriedly threw away their cigarettes. They all stood up and pointed at Tang Dao, who finally stepped into the venue in military uniform. Greeting the marching salute, "Team seat!"

Tang Dao strode into the venue, glanced at more than 20 lieutenant-level officers standing neatly, with a smile on his face, and waved his hand to signal everyone not to be so formal: "Okay, don't make it so serious, because New Year's Day I was in a hurry to march, so I didn't ask everyone to get together and chat. Today, we just took advantage of the expansion of our battalion. The two things changed into one. The big guys gathered together and chatted. By the way, let's discuss the future organization of our regiment. Sit down! Don't be so serious!"

"Let's listen to the group seat, hey, you, old black, quickly move your feet away, I haven't smoked that cigarette yet!" Li Jiujin bent down and picked up most of the crushed cigarette from under the table, Feeling so distressed, I stroked and stroked again and again.

"Look at how promising you are, Li Jiujin!" Tang Dao nodded Li Jiujin, dumbfounded, and turned his head to look at Erya. "Go, give each of these Dalian chiefs a pack of cigarettes, and consider it a New Year's gift from me."

"Sir, reporter Tantai entrusted you with it." Erya muttered reluctantly.

Yan is the independent battalion marching to Jiashan County, in order to supplement the army, Tantai Mingyue found a friend of his old father and asked him to buy food, and for Tantai Mingyue's sake, he gave away more than [-] packs of Laodao brand cigarettes, It turned out that Tang Dao was good, he hadn't even smoked a few, so he gave them all away, Erya, who is a signal soldier and orderly, must not be happy!

"Don't pick and search, it's just a few packs of cigarettes! When we go to a good place in the future, we will grow tobacco leaves all over the mountain, not to mention that the thousands of brothers in our four-line regiment are enough to smoke, and we can also support the brothers' troops, and even go outside. Sell." Tang Dao, who walked to the top of the long conference table and sat down, laughed and criticized the stingy Bara's orderly.

"Haha, brother Erya, you can be stingy to those guys, but don't be stingy to you, Brother Li. After a year or two, my aunt will grow up. I will introduce you as a matchmaker. But it's just a burden." Li Jiujin grinned wide, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

Er Ya is Tang Dao's orderly soldier. Although his military rank is only a sergeant, a group of bosses will not win him any more, and they will not offend him, but because he is young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, a group led by Li Jiujin Help the 'uncles' to make fun of his marriage.

With Li Jiujin, an old ruffian, taking the lead, several other company commanders who were also close to Erya also spoke out to make fun of them.

"Old Li! I hear you talking about your sister-in-law every day, but I haven't seen you showing us photos of your sister-in-law. What's wrong! Is it because you want to match your appearance, Lao Li, so... then don't cheat us Brother Erya." Fat Dahai said with a smile.

"I pooh, you fat bastard, you don't believe it. You know what a man is. My husband and I were born for this word, not to mention my sister-in-law, who looks like a flower at a young age. Yes." Li Jiujin's mouth has always been set in one set.

When he heard him say that he and his wife were born for the beauty of men and women, not to mention the roar of laughter in the venue, even the always serious Leng Feng couldn't help but smile.

This good guy is really shameless and his mother opened the door for shameless --- shameless is at home.

Others don't know, but the old brothers in the same platoon of the 88th Division don't know?Li Jiujin works as a soldier all the year round to earn his salary. His mother-in-law raises the baby at home and takes care of the elderly, and she also has to plant several acres of land. She is absolutely strong. I heard that once a thief went to the village to grab food, and Li Jiujin's wife carried a bag with each hand. Stopping the big kitchen knife at the door made the thief retreat.

Hearing Li Jiujin read the family letter proudly, everyone saw a lively Sun Erniang in front of them. She was big enough, but did it have anything to do with appearance?
The atmosphere in the venue instantly became heated.

When Erya returned and distributed a pack of cigarettes to each of the officers, Comrade Li, who talked the most, only had half a pack of cigarettes at most. It's almost the culmination.

The officers haven't been this happy for a long time, even when they killed so many Japanese troops in the battle of Laojinkeng.

After all, they were still on the battlefield that time, Leng Feng and several hundred people were still surrounded by the Japanese army, the battle would not be over until they were rescued.

But now it is different, they have been far away from the battlefield, and have received the good news that the battalion will be expanded into a regiment, and Tang Dao deliberately indulged. What should have been a serious military meeting has turned into a tea party, because the Jinling battle has been suppressed for a long time. Emotions were finally released.

I'm afraid it's because Li Jiujin didn't understand that Mao Erya wanted to treat him like this. He wanted to send his sister-in-law out. No one here except him knew that his sister-in-law and her sister were printed in the same mold, and they almost looked the same. , but housekeeping is definitely a good hand!He is a person who has experienced this personally, and he knows it best.

Maybe it's because Erya is still young!Tell him about his wife, is he too shy?Li Jiujin looked at Erya who gave him a big roll of his eyes, and could only give himself such a reasonable explanation.

Seeing that the officers were all lighting up their cigarettes, Tang Dao lightly tapped on the table in front of him: "It's time to celebrate. When our regiment goes to Xuzhou to pick up the ordnance, maybe it's just in time for the New Year. For the New Year's Gala, Chief of Staff Zhuang is going to invite a few theater troupes, and the whole troupe will have a good time celebrating. Now, we'd better get down to business and call you here to let you express your thoughts and opinions."

Then, Erya and Xia Dayu handed out the Four Elements Forms that had been written by Tantai Mingyue long ago.

The expressions on the faces of the officers who got the establishment list were serious at first, and then excited. They didn't expect that their new chief officer would have such a big hand.

Not only the gold swallowing beast cavalry is equipped with a company, but even the artillery has two companies, with 4 mountain guns plus 4 heavy mortars, plus anti-war guns and machine guns. With these heavy firepower, the Japanese army has one The infantry brigade and the others may dare to touch them head-on.

"Is there any opinion on this, everything will be done according to your own ideas, sir!" Li Jiujin spoke first with a carefree voice. "However, sir, may I make a small comment?"

"Speak up if you have something to say, and put your farts away. When you are running the train with your mouth full, you, Li Jiujin, are you every day. When it comes to business, why is your baby like a little daughter-in-law who just passed the door, and she pretends to be very good?" What!" Lei Xiong stared.

"Hey, Chief Lei, don't worry! I'm not afraid that what I said is wrong and my brothers will laugh at me!" Li Jiujin laughed. "How to change this organization, I'm just a small company commander, and I can't give too many suggestions, but Lao Li thinks that the infantry company equipment written by the commander can still be improved."

"Let's hear it?" Tang Dao nodded.

For Li Jiujin, Tang Dao is actually very satisfied. Although this bastard is a little oily, he is smart enough and will not be tough at critical moments. He was chased by the Japanese army in the last night attack. He gritted his teeth and planned to go When the 'Gecko Docked' the tail already embodies that rare quality.

To be honest, when the independent battalion was established, Li Jiujin was chosen as the company commander. What Tang Dao valued most was his loyalty. I didn't expect that this veteran oilman would do much better than Tang Dao expected in this position of company commander. .

Although Li Jiujin was uncharacteristically secretive and cautious at this time, Tang Dao was looking forward to his suggestion.

"Brothers, you are all people who have fought many battles with the Japanese. I would like to ask, when an infantry company of ours confronts an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, what do you think is the biggest threat to the officers and soldiers of our regiment from the Japanese army? Li Jiujin cast his eyes on the company commanders of the same level opposite and beside him.

"It goes without saying that most of the Japanese devil soldiers are veterans, and their marksmanship is not accurate. Many of my brothers just raised their bodies a little when shooting, and they were bitten by the bullets of the Japanese devils. Either they were shot in the head or Chest, the brothers can't even hold a stretcher to carry them down." Zhao Daqiang replied in a muffled voice.

His 4th company’s losses in the two battles of Mouse Mountain and Laojinkeng were actually not that big. The battle damage was only a dozen, but there were not many wounded soldiers. Most of them were victims. The cause of death was basically The gunshot wound, so the feeling is extraordinarily deep.

"Yes! Lao Cai, I have also fought for several years, but I have never seen an army with such accurate marksmanship. At least more than 9 people in my 20th company were shot and killed by the devils hiding on the hillside. , and that was the result of us being in the trenches, and they were relying on some stones and wooden stakes to shoot at us. If we were to fight on the plains, our company’s losses would be even greater." Cai Yongguan, who was supported to barely sit up, also said the same thing. I have lingering fears.

The heroic infantry company commander who once hacked several Japanese soldiers with a big knife and became famous in the Independence Battalion was so afraid of the Japanese marksmanship. It is conceivable that in the early days of the Great Patriotic War, the group possessed excellent skills and tactics. How much shadow the Japanese veterans left on the Chinese army.

A trace of gloom flashed across Tang Dao's face. Of course he knew that, regardless of advanced weapons and equipment, the Japanese army at this time far surpassed the Chinese army in terms of infantry training.

Not to mention that the Chinese army was psychologically shadowed by the excellent shooting level of the Japanese army, even the American soldiers who were armed to the teeth were the same.

In the U.S. Department of the Army’s summary of the battle for the Pacific Islands, it was also mentioned that the crazy infantrymen of the Japanese army tied themselves to trees and shot and killed officers and technicians with precision, and there were no missed shots.

When the U.S. soldiers encountered the Japanese "sneaking guns", the officers and soldiers would tense up, and then called for artillery support to bomb the area, and finally advanced gradually.

The reason why the average level of the Japanese army's marksmanship is far superior to that of the Chinese army is entirely due to the rigorous training during the recruiting period.

Before the outbreak of the war, the Ministry of Education of Japan issued a regulation that every new recruit should consume no less than 150 rounds of rifle ammunition and no less than 300 rounds of machine guns per month.During the entire shooting training process, the total amount of ammunition consumed by each recruit was no less than 2000 rounds.

The amount of training ammunition of 2000 rounds is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for the current Chinese army. Not to mention the Sichuan Army, Qian Army and other miscellaneous troops, even the most elite German armorers, the actual monthly training rifle ammunition consumption of soldiers will not be too high. More than 20 rounds.

In addition to the scalp-numbing training ammunition consumption, in the live ammunition training on the shooting range, the Japanese military instructors will not completely rely on the number of shooting rings to determine the shooting performance.

They believe that the results obtained in actual combat are very different from the results on the shooting range.

A Japanese soldier recalled that when he operated the "5" rifle to shoot 9 rounds of live ammunition, although he scored [-] hits, he was still criticized by his superiors.

The superior told him that although the five rounds of ammunition were all 5 rings, the bullet marks were too scattered and not concentrated. Also better than 9 rings with scattered bullet marks.

As for those recruits who miss the target and have poor grades, the punishment is also very severe.The instructor would insult them loudly in front of their comrades, and at the same time order them to bow to the gun in apology, and finally let these recruits slap each other in the face to remember this lesson.

No success was achieved by luck. The reason why the Japanese infantry were able to display superb skills and tactics on the battlefield that frightened these elites was inseparable from their massive consumption and rigorous training.

"Isn't it? We've had enough of the Japanese infantry's accurate shooting skills. If we want to kill them, then we have to be more accurate and ruthless than them." Li Jiujin put away his usual playful smile and turned serious.

"So, I suggest that while our four-element regiment is far away from the combat zone, our regiment headquarters should set up a teaching team, select some veterans, and be responsible for various trainings for recruits, and teach them how to survive on the battlefield. As a company commander, I can I don't want to watch those recruits assigned to my infantry company get shot and killed by the Japanese devils because they didn't pay attention.

'With a big scar on his head, he will be a good man after 18 years! 'It's quite bold to say, but that man was not raised by his mother, and he made his parents cry on the grave, but Lao Li couldn't stand it.

Since the establishment of our independent battalion, Lao Li's second company has fought three times and killed 26 brothers. Most of them were brothers transferred from the former Songjiang security regiment. What does this mean? Yes, if I don't train them well, I won't dare to go to the Jiangnan boundary from now on.

I went, why should I tell my parents!Said that your son died in battle under my hands?Walk a village and talk about a family?Lao Li, I'm afraid I don't have that face! "

Having said this, tears welled up in Li Jiujin's eyes.

There was silence in the lobby of the small restaurant.

It is estimated that no one thought that the most cynical infantry company commander would hide such delicate thoughts.

But apparently, he was telling the truth.

This time the independent battalion fought against the Guoqi detachment in the mountainous area of ​​southern Anhui. The entire army lost more than 400 people, most of whom were soldiers from the Sichuan Army's Xueshi Regiment and the former Songjiang Security Regiment.

That must have an inseparable relationship with their weak training.

On the other hand, the group of veterans transferred from the Four Lines Battalion, the 67th Army and the 43rd Army had a far lower casualty rate than them.

It's not that their previous training was good, but the continuous battlefield has become the most rigorous training ground. Soldiers who can't make rapid progress will be eliminated, and those who can survive are the best group of people .

But that price was also astonishing. Like the 524th Regiment, the predecessor of the Four Elements Battalion, there were very few soldiers who could live from before the battle to after the battle.

"Okay! Li Jiujin made a good suggestion this time! Very good." Tang Dao slapped his hands first with a smile on his eyes.

There was thunderous applause in the venue!
"Hey, if you have a shallow opinion, show your ugliness and show your ugliness, sir and brothers, don't laugh at it." Li Jiujin scribbled his words and sat down triumphantly.

"What does Lao Li mean?" Cai Yongguan whispered to Wei Donglai who was beside him with an uneducated look.

"That means he's a bit ugly, but he's awesome!" Wei Donglai scratched his scalp and tried his best to give an answer.

"Old Li can handle it! He is an honest man." Cai Yongguan gave Li Jiujin a thumbs up.

Li Jiujin.
If he had known that this group of idiots were so uneducated, he would have lost his book bag with them!Fortunately, he had learned the culture for several days from the big reporter Tantai.

There was another laughter.

With Li Jiujin proofing, the other infantry company commanders also offered their advice.

Some people think that the reason why the Japanese army can suppress its own troops at the infantry company level is not because of how accurate the infantry's shooting is, nor because of light machine guns, but because of grenades.

In Tang Dao’s establishment, each 15-man infantry squad is also equipped with Japanese-style grenadiers, but most of the Japanese grenadiers are veterans, and Chinese grenadiers are far less experienced than them. When shooting against each other, the Japanese grenadiers often have the upper hand.

Therefore, if you want to gain a suppressive firepower advantage in infantry company-level battles, you still have to equip mortars.

As for the heavy mortar body, if shells are added, at least an artillery squad of 15 people is required to transport it, which is not the scope of consideration of the infantry company commander.

Seemingly contradictory ideas, Tang Dao quickly wrote down this very useful suggestion.

The shells of the 20-type 82MM caliber mortar weigh several kilograms, and the effective range is as high as 2000 meters. Naturally, it is a Japanese-style grenadier with a range of less than 500 meters, but its gun body and base weigh 60 kilograms, plus a few kilograms. The transportation of artillery shells requires too much manpower and material resources, and it is definitely not suitable for infantry companies, especially when trekking in the rolling mountains. This is a strategy he formulated in conjunction with the Sixing regiment that is about to arrive at the mountain.

But the company commander's suggestion reminded Tang Dao that the inability of an infantry company to carry out 82mm caliber mortars does not mean that they cannot carry smaller caliber mortars.

If Tang Dao's memory is correct, in order to counter the large number of grenadiers equipped by the Japanese army, next year, high-level officials will propose a plan to imitate the 60-caliber mortar, but the imitation speed is too slow, and it will not be the first until two years later. It was a sample gun, and it was not until three years later that a large number of troops began to be installed.

That is the famous 31-type 60 mortar, with a total length of 677mm, a barrel length of 601mm, a total gun mass of 19kg, a gun body mass of 5kg, a gun carriage mass of 9kg, a seat plate mass of 5kg, a maximum range of 1444m, and a maximum initial velocity of 148m/s , The maximum rate of fire is 18-30 rounds/min, the direction of fire is 11°, and the height of fire is 45°-70°.

With this kind of small-caliber artillery, an artillery squad of 20 people can be equipped with three artillery pieces to carry more than 80 shells in the extreme state. If it is equipped with a pack horse, it can provide fire support for the infantry company at the forefront of the front line throughout the day. There will be no problems.

The research and development and manufacture of 60 caliber mortars has been included in the necessary agenda of the arsenal that will definitely be established in the future by Tang Dao.

Tang Dao no longer has to worry about engineers and skilled workers. The student soldiers with as many as 300 people are the best candidates.

Last time he ordered Lao Hei to bring ten student soldiers to the battlefield, which had a very good effect. Now that group of student soldiers saw him, their attitude was not so good.

Of course, Tang Dao also knew that it was because they were photographed under the watchful eyes of a group of fierce elite soldiers who killed people without batting an eyelid, so they naturally respected him as the chief officer.

But that's okay, don't look at how many of them will become important players in a certain field in the future, but when it comes to the development of science and various novel viewpoints, he, a little scum with 100 years of historical memory, can really The best thing is to hang them easily.

Find a suitable time to have a big discussion with them about science and culture, and let the illiterate Chief Tang conquer them with his mouth.

After all, Tang Tuanzuo still underestimates the elites of this era. A slightly more professional question in the Department of Physics and Mathematics can make him, a carefully trained special elite, look at a loss. It's still a novelty, I'm afraid that if the conquest fails, it will be dismissed by the elites as a guy who can only talk.

When it comes to fighting, the elites can't do it, but when it comes to their profession, Tang Dao doesn't seek to do it no matter how much he is a time traveler.

Who made him not a doctor but a soldier before!
Of course, if it was a doctor, the corpse would have been too cold if he came here.

That's the same as holding an atomic bomb without a detonating device, which is far less effective than a kitchen knife.

The officers were talking all over the place, and Tang Dao accepted several of the questions they said, but the ones that were really designed in terms of organization were the teaching team that Li Jiujin said was pretty reliable, and most of the rest were related to equipment. of.

"Since we don't have much opinion on the organization, except for the teaching team proposed by Company Commander Li, the rest of the organization will be tentatively determined. I have met with Deputy Head Lei and Chief of Staff Zhuang, and we have basically decided on the candidates." Tang Dao made a concluding speech.

The venue instantly became quiet.

The officers all sat upright.

This is related to where everyone is about to sit.
