Chapter 946: A Heavenly Wizard?

Chapter 946: A Heavenly Wizard?

Tang Dao had already drunk three or four catties of white wine at this moment, and he didn't see any abnormalities except sweat on his forehead.

All the officers present knew that the wine fight was basically over. Even if the seven of them worked together to pour Tang Dao down, at least half of them would have to go down. That would be a delay. Go to the grassroots officers and soldiers of each regiment and battalion to toast a big event.

This battle was brilliantly commanded by the commander, but it was really fought so resolutely and wonderfully that the tactical goals were fully achieved, it still had to rely on the frontline officers and soldiers to fight their lives.

Everyone here is an old soldier, and will never make such a low-level mistake.

Seeing Brigadier Cheng Da's dumbfounded expression, Tantai Mingyue took a sip of Tang Dao who was pouring five bowls of wine in a row, feeling sorry for him for not caring about his body, and blamed him for being too sharp, showing his true nature , In the future, when you go to the various departments of the 921 Division, you must not bring out a bunch of people to accompany you when you entertain guests!

Then, he smiled and said: "Don't blame the chiefs, my future husband's family is from wine brewing. Tang Dao has used wine as water since he was a child, but he is definitely not a greedy person!"

"I said so!" Brigadier Cheng patted his thigh and sighed. "At first I thought it was a mistake in tactical arrangements, which resulted in a division battle and a regiment being tied. Now, after hearing what reporter Tantai said, I realized that it was a strategic mistake. With this wine tank-level drinking capacity, Can't win, can't win!"

"Ha ha!"

A burst of hearty laughter flashed under the night sky.

Undoubtedly, this is a night of celebration, but also a joyous night, which belongs to all the soldiers on the front line in eastern Shanxi.

No matter how much wine you taste, you can't go wrong with singing.

"Come on, Captain Tang, keep going, we are still waiting for you to talk about the reorganization and establishment!" Compared with Brigadier Cheng who is still struggling with the gains and losses of the wine shop, the young team leader is more concerned about what Tang Dao said earlier. Four 'system preparation.

"I know that your army has newly established a cavalry regiment, but the whole regiment is only four cavalry companies. This number of soldiers is too small. You should select cavalry from the entire army. Even if there are no horses, you must first equip them and train them at the same time. Waiting for the horses, they should be able to form enough fighting power by autumn.

It is best for the cavalry regiment to have 9 cavalry companies under its jurisdiction, and the total cavalry strength should be around 1000, so as to become a mobile combat force that can at least compete with the Japanese army with more than half of the infantry brigade. "Tang Dao didn't talk about the core of the 'three or four' organization first, but instead talked about cavalry.

That's what he knew, the great role of cavalry in mountain combat!
If the historical trajectory of time and space is followed, the 921st Division will continue to deal with the Japanese army in this mountain for at least a year and a half.

The mountain roads are narrow and steep, and the infantry marches extremely slowly. If you have a cavalry unit with sufficient mobility and combat effectiveness, it will form extremely effective support for a battlefield with thousands of people.

After the Japanese army was repeatedly ambushed by the 921 Division headquarters in the mountainous area, they immediately equipped cavalry on a large scale, and their cavalry could arrive within two or three hours on dozens of miles of mountain roads, so as to support their colleagues who were trapped in the encirclement and were still fighting hard.

Although the well-prepared 921 Division Division is also vigorously developing cavalry, after all, it has financial resources and a late start. Hundreds of cavalry are completely at a disadvantage in the battle against thousands of Japanese cavalry.

Of course, the cavalry of the two countries in this era has basically turned into 'dragon cavalry'. War horses are basically small carts with four legs. It is enough to transport personnel and equipment to the battlefield. Most of the cavalry dismounted to fight. When the cavalry rushed to the enemy's small infantry line of defense at speed, and when the cavalry encountered battles, the regular cavalry would charge at high speed.

Undoubtedly, the benefits of developing cavalry earlier and more are obvious for future mountain warfare.

"Cavalry, it's too expensive!" Brigadier Cheng looked up to the sky and sighed. "One cavalryman can feed five infantrymen!"

"Didn't the tens of thousands of catties of corn be seized in Lucheng this time? The grain production in my Taihang mountain area is a bit weak, but the grain production of corn and soybeans is not low! Moreover, there is no shortage of green grass and hay in the mountainous area. It is necessary to raise more than 1000 war horses." It's difficult!" Tang Dao was slightly taken aback.

"The food seized in Lucheng is half of your family and my two armies. The spoils of the Battle of Beiganling have already taken advantage of your four-element regiment. I will never take this food again. The idea of ​​a tour group!" Brigadier Cheng Da shook his head resolutely. "Besides, one of these war horses will cost Baiyinyang, and a few hundred more horses will cost tens of thousands, which is enough for my entire division's military salary for a month."

Tang Dao's heart felt a little hot, and he felt Brigadier Cheng's heart.

The so-called "a man can do something, but he can't do something!" ', don't look at Brigadier Cheng who is not relentless in beating a local tyrant with equipment from time to time, but that is because he knows that the Four Elements Group already has their own standard weapons, and Japanese weapons are basically useless to them.

But the food is different. The Four Elements Regiment also has a population of more than [-]. Staying in the Taihang Mountains without permission has caused dissatisfaction there. It is obviously impossible to provide military supplies in a short period of time. Food is also sufficient for the Four Elements Regiment Precious, he will never take advantage of Tang Dao in this respect!
And he expressed his attitude in front of the two division chiefs, even the two chiefs had to give him face as the number one general of the 921 division.

With these hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, no one would lose a penny of the Sixingtuan!
"Haha! Brigadier Cheng misunderstood me. If you want to feed a horse, you must have a horse first! It's not too late to have a headache when you have a horse!" Tang Dao laughed.

This made all regiment-level officers of the 921 Division look sad, and even the stretched brows of the two division heads quietly frowned.

What Tang Dao said was very practical. If you have a headache to feed a horse, you must have a horse first, but the money to buy a war horse makes them a headache even thinking about it.

Regardless of the fact that Lucheng seized a total of no less than [-] silver in cash this time, but first of all, it has to be divided into half, and the remaining [-] does not mean that the Almighty will fall, not to mention paying [-] to the headquarters, and sacrificing more than [-] officers and soldiers to get compensation Bar!Severely injured soldiers have to purchase medicine for treatment!Meritorious ministers should be rewarded!

Thirty thousand silver dollars may not be enough, and the division has to pay it back!

The military salary that Brigadier Cheng said was tens of thousands, but in fact, it was paid out after the whole division saved to the bone, but that was only less than two French coins per person on average, just like their division-level cadres. It's only five yuan, which is not as much as a private in other armies gets.

"I don't know if the two chiefs and Cheng Luchang believe me or not, I guarantee that within a month, your ministry will have enough funds to buy horses!" Tang Dao said mysteriously. "However, I can declare in advance that the money will not belong to Tang Dao. I have to give the Germans banknotes to provide ammunition!"

"This..." The officers of the 921st Division looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this time, Tang Dao looked very much like a quack doctor, if you put a few locks of beard on his chin!
"Brother, you can just try to comfort me! Could it be that there is still a pie in the sky?" Cheng Lvchang shook his head in disbelief.

"If you don't believe me, let's make a bet! If your department can't get the funds within a month, I lose. If my arsenal goes into production, I will provide the 683 brigade with 500 guns of various types for free!" Tang Dao said confidently. "Of course, if I win, let me think about it"

"Then I'll take a big top at the regiment headquarters of your four-element regiment. Deputy head Wang will smash a big stone in his chest, and head Xu will beat the gong!" Brigadier Cheng immediately took Tang Dao's words. "The two division chiefs can testify!"

So ruthless!

Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang was stunned, staring at his brigade commander dumbfounded.

The idea that keeps roaring in my mind is: Why is Mao Laoxu just beating the gong, but Lao Tzu wants to smash a big stone in his chest, brigade commander, are you not afraid of smashing Lao Tzu into a seriously injured person?That also costs money to cure!

It's a pity that, because of the despicable power of a certain brigade commander, Deputy Head Wang, who is usually too powerful, can only reply weakly: "Then who will hit the sledgehammer?"

"Don't worry, let Captain Tang come in person. With the relationship between the two of you, he will definitely not be cruel. I know this well!" Brigadier Cheng Da laughed.

"Pfft!" Tantai Mingyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Haha!" Tang Dao and the two division chiefs also laughed collectively.

500 guns were exchanged for a brigade commander and two regiment leaders to play a circus. This is what this guy can figure out. Tang Dao even thought about it.

In the future, if he dares to go to the back door of this person, if he dares not do it, Tang Dao will dare to take the signature of a certain "running the rivers and lakes" to various agencies to publicize his "heroic deeds" back then!
Tang Dao remembered that he had been the president of a famous engineering university in the north. This was a way out for his comrades and the brats.If you don't want to fight a war, then go to learn technology. If you have a skill, you can have everything.

As for why Tang Dao was so sure, it was because he heard the teacher say about the huge transport team of the 14th Division, which aroused his memories.

That transport team didn't just transport it once!
In the past time and space, it was still this transport team, but they were targeted by the 683 brigade, which was a month younger than them, and they were completely wiped out.

The transport team, isn't it all goods?This huge transport team consisting of 180 trucks, what beer, cigarettes, melon seeds, eight-treasure porridge, no, liquor, cigarettes, rice, meat canned, and in addition, the military pay of the 14th Division for the past few months!
Naturally, the Japanese don't use silver to pay their military salaries. They pay in Japanese yen, which is worth a few hundred catties of Japanese banknotes, which is a total of 200 million yen.

Don't look at the yen at this time with a future perspective. The purchasing power of the yen at this time is still very strong. If you compare it with the future, the purchasing power of 1 yen at this time is about equal to 90 yen in the next 5000 years.

The monthly salary of a Japanese second-class soldier is 6 yen, and that of a sergeant is about 15 yen.

200 million yen can be regarded as an extremely large fortune.

There is no detailed account of this batch of seized yen in historical records, but Tang Dao can guarantee that with the wisdom of these generals, he will never say that this batch of wealth will be put on the shelf, and it is certain to go to the Japanese-occupied area to secretly purchase some important materials. of.

Even if there will be some deviations in this time and space because of his unexpected arrival, Tang Dao is not a fool, just sit and wait, and he will find a way to force this to happen.

You know, in those trucks, apart from Japanese yen, there are also short-term supplies such as sugar, refined salt, and tobacco leaves, which are in short supply that cannot be bought with money in the war zone.

If you don't rob, it's a crime!
"Okay, let's assume that Captain Tang's prediction will come true, and our division can solve the cavalry problem. What about the rest?" The division commander spoke with a smile and motioned Tang Dao to continue.

"I won't talk about the other units directly under the division headquarters, but just talk about the configuration of the infantry regiment.

Each infantry regiment has a regiment headquarters under its jurisdiction, with more than 60 staff members from the regiment headquarters, communications and security agents;

In addition, there are 3 infantry battalions under its jurisdiction. The infantry battalion is organized according to the three-four system. It has four infantry companies under its jurisdiction, and each company has 4 people;
One battalion belongs to the machine gun company, equipped with 82 3 mortars, 6 fly mine guns, 12 heavy machine guns, and about 150 people;
An infantry company has 3 infantry platoons, each infantry platoon has 4 infantry squads, each infantry squad has 12 people, equipped with 10 50-type rifles, Czech-style light machine guns or [-]-type light machine guns or ten One Type I light machine gun and one [-]mm grenadier. "Tang Dao continued.

His three-four system was not conceived by himself. In the next decade or so, the infantry regiment of the Chinese army will be organized in this way. The only difference is that he did not include the machine gun battalion directly under the regiment headquarters. Obtaining a sufficient number of infantry artillery and 37mm rapid-fire guns is obviously impossible for the current 921 division.

"The Feilei cannon is the soil cannon you told me about throwing explosives from oil barrels?" Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang asked.

"Yes, this gun is simple and easy to operate. The only disadvantage is that the range is not accurate enough, but it is very suitable for fighting in narrow areas. I will let professionals guide the erection at that time!" Tang Dao nodded.

"That's good! Brother, don't worry, when the time comes, the brigade commander will take the top, and I promise to cheer for him!" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed until his teeth blew up.

Unknowingly, a certain brigade commander had his eyes on killing people!
It is estimated that he is really going to be the battalion commander.

"Your formation of three or four, I understand somewhat. The infantry battalion is the main body. The three infantry companies are divided into three sides on the left, middle and right in defensive operations. When attacking, the infantry companies are also used as arrows. The other two infantry companies Lian Ze and the little devil's tactics are almost detours to the left and right wings, that is, to disperse the enemy's frontal firepower and protect the two wings of the main attack point.

The remaining infantry company was held in the hands of the battalion-level chief officer as a reserve team.It's just, how do I see that this means not concentrating troops to fight the little devils, but using an infantry battalion as an independent combat unit? Brigadier Cheng Da, who was teased by his family members but didn't bother to scold others, bowed his head and pondered for a while, and raised his own questions.

Great, no wonder after the war, the 683 brigade led by this man could be called "the best brigade in China".The Three Heroes of Whampoa really don't deserve their fame!Tang Dao could only sigh in admiration.

Don't look at how he is here now, talking about the three-three system, the three-four system is like a master tactician, but that is based on the fact that he has almost 100 years more experience than the few in front of him.

However, he was eventually kicked out by God.

As a little butterfly from the future, I know that since 921, the 1938st Division has mainly engaged in guerrilla operations behind enemy lines.

Since it is a guerrilla operation, where is the large-scale operation coming from?Tang Dao knew very well that even in the Hundred Regiments War three years later, it was not the concentration of a large number of troops to fight against the Japanese invaders as people imagined, but the dispatch of 300,000 troops to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops on a front thousands of kilometers away. strike.

The future 921 Division will use the infantry battalion as a unit to fight behind enemy lines and develop itself.

The infantry battalion he organized with this three-four system, in terms of numbers and firepower, could at least fight against a Japanese infantry brigade without suffering losses.

Even, in terms of squad platoon light weapons, it is still better.An infantry squad equivalent to an infantry platoon in the Japanese army only had 2 light machine guns and 2 grenade launchers, while Tang Dao had 4 light machine guns and 4 grenade launchers, twice as many as the Japanese army.

Even if the weapons and equipment are not available for the time being, then equip one or two regiments first, and wait for the four-element regiment arsenal to be able to produce guns and cannons at full capacity. At that time, let alone 9 regiments, dozens of regiments may do.

Or maybe he can get the two German weapon divisions' arms as soon as possible, and at least five regiments can be equipped for the 921 Division in addition to the use of the Four Elements Regiment.

There are six or seven infantry regiments fully equipped with German weapons, and at the same time there are a lot of heavy firepower such as artillery. The scene is very beautiful just thinking about it.

Tang Dao is looking forward to seeing that after the Japanese army occupied the northern lands such as Shanxi and Hebei, they sent troops with infantry squadrons or infantry brigades as the backbone to sweep into the mountains, but they encountered all kinds of firepower above them. The infantry company or infantry battalion of the 921st Division screamed in pain from the cliff!
According to Tang Dao's estimation, if the 921 Division, which is still continuing to expand its troops, accepts his opinion and reorganizes the infantry regiment like this, it will be able to hold back at least two Japanese divisions in North China.

However, compared to the expressive astonishment of Brigadier Cheng and several regiment leaders, no one noticed the horror that the two division heads who were careless about each other lowered their eyelids to hide.

Because, the design of Tang Dao, an infantry battalion that can fight independently, just fits the vision of several bosses at the headquarters for future operations against Japan.

In the future, the 921 Division will spread out its troops like a single spark, and then grow like a prairie fire. The headquarters is not only thinking of defending the eastern, southern, and northern Shanxi, but going to a wider world, so that all North China The Japanese invaders couldn't sleep at night!

Could it be that someone leaked the secret?This is absolutely impossible. There are less than ten people who can know these ideas, and all of them are high-level officials of the [-]th Army, and they have all gone through various tests.

If it wasn't for the leak of secrets, it could only be an unintentional coincidence caused by Tang Dao's own observation and judgment of the battle situation and his keen sense of the battlefield.

Perhaps, there really is a creature called 'Heavenly Wizard' in this world?

As they looked at each other and nodded slightly, they already understood what their old partner meant.

If before coming here, Tang Dao was regarded as a friendly army that could be united and absorbed, but now, it is no longer possible, but necessary.

Such a young military genius, who also has a patriotic heart, if he misses it, it will be a waste of money!

The two division chiefs attached great importance to Tang Dao, which is no longer the same as before they came!
