Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 47 Great harvest, weapons and equipment of a regiment

Wang Chengzhu is a man of action. Now that he has decided to rob the devil's train, he immediately makes arrangements.On the one hand, Wang Shugen was ordered to lead his troops out of the railway station to set up an ambush and destroy the railway.On the one hand, they contacted Xu Hailang from Wanjia Township with the phone number of the Devils Headquarters, and asked him to immediately transform and incorporate the cavalry battalion in Wanjia Township, and then lead the army horses to the train station.

If you have a carriage, it is best to bring a carriage.

Because of the supplies of a train, this is not a small sum.

It is difficult to carry all these spoils back with the soldiers of the artillery platoon.

What's more, the raid on the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion and the ambush of the Futian Squadron had captured a lot of spoils.

As for the principle of recruitment, it is still entirely voluntary, those who are willing to stay will stay, and those who are not willing to stay will be dismissed.

Of course, those who committed heinous crimes, bullied, tortured and killed ordinary people, or killed the Eighth Route Army were directly shot.

Among them, Zhu Dachang, the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion, is a guy who has done all kinds of bad things in the fish and meat village for many years.

He was the first to be shot.

As Zhu Dachang's adjutant, Wang Jie also did a lot of things to help the tyrant, and of course he was shot.

In addition, 15 people from the cavalry battalion committed capital crimes.

As for the others, although they all committed some crimes more or less, they didn't deserve to die.

With special circumstances and special treatment, it is naturally impossible for Xu Hailang to shoot them all. He mainly focuses on ideological education.

In the end, there were more than 300 people in the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion. Except for 17 people who were shot and 11 people who decided to disarm and return to the fields and were dismissed, the rest all voluntarily joined the Eighth Route Army.

It's not that their ideological awareness is so high that they suddenly wake up, but that these guys want to make a living.

There is no way, in this era when human life is so trivial, let alone having enough food, it is very difficult to survive.

This is also the fundamental reason why many people choose to join the army or become traitors...

Talking two ends.

When Xu Hailang incorporated the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion, Wang Shugen also completed the destruction of the railroad tracks and led his troops to ambush on both sides of the railroad tracks.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the devil train with supplies to arrive.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon it was 2 o'clock in the morning.

Not long after, a bright light shone from the distance of the railroad track.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the whistle of the train preparing to enter the station, and the sound of the train running, and the metal impact of the wheels crushing the rails.

"coming!"

Seeing this, the soldiers of the artillery platoon immediately cheered up to 12 points.

What Wang Chengzhu didn't know was that this was a material train bound for Jinnan, which was specially supplied by Yoshio Shinozuka to the devils garrison there in order to deal with the Central Army in Jinnan.

This means that Wang Chengzhu directly grabbed Yoshio Shinozuka.

Of course, if Wang Chengzhu knew, he would only be more excited.

"Woooooooo..."

"Kang chi ku chi ku chi..."

The sound became more and more piercing, and the train was getting closer and closer, and soon it was on the rails where hands and feet were passive. In the next moment, the whole train derailed directly.

"Bangdang-"

"Chi Chi Chi!—"

The train fell heavily on the ground. The huge body of the train gave the train a great force of inertia, and it slid for a long distance until it stopped in the nearby wasteland.

The coal under the boiler at the front of the car poured out, and for a while, dust was flying and flames were everywhere.

The supplies in the carriage were scattered all over the floor.

There are crates and crates of [-]-type rifles, and crates and crates of crooked light machine guns, as well as brand-new Type [-] heavy machine guns, brand-new grenades and small steel cannons (Type [-] light mortars) ), in addition, Wang Chengzhu even saw a [-]-type infantry artillery.The flesh in his heart hurts, don't let these excellent equipment be ruined.

At the moment, Wang Chengzhu could only pour his anger on the little devil in the train, and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill me!"

Hearing the order, the artillery platoon soldiers ambushing on both sides immediately rushed forward and opened fire on the devil transport team that was still alive in the train.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Tut-chug!—"

The devil on the train had already been thrown to pieces because of the overturned train, with either broken limbs or hit his head.

Among them, some unlucky ones were even thrown out of the train, or died directly in the carriage.

Right now, these devils are like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with almost no power to resist.

"Puff puff……"

Little devils rarely surrender, and Wang Chengzhu doesn't need devils to take him captive.

Therefore, when shooting, the soldiers of the artillery platoon did not show mercy at all, regardless of whether they were dead or alive, when they saw the devils, they would suddenly chug.

The whole battle is a massacre!

Except for wasting some bullets, there were almost no casualties.

There were seven cars in this train. Except for the front of the train and the resting cars of the devil transport team, the other five cars were full of supplies.

Due to the rollover of the train, a lot of materials in the carriages have been thrown out, so you can know what is in each carriage without opening it.

Among them, the first freight car was loaded with guns, including the Nanfang [-]-type pistol, which is the notorious bastard box that even devils and officers despise.

In addition, there are [-]-type rifles, crooked light machine guns, and [-]-type heavy machine guns.

All the guns combined can almost equip a regiment. It is a pity that there are only 4 Type [-] heavy machine guns, and one of them was broken.

The second section of the freight car is equipped with artillery, mainly 50mm caliber grenades and Type [-] light mortars, of which there are only two Type [-] infantry guns.

With these artillery, the artillery platoon can finally be called a real artillery platoon, but this artillery platoon has been strengthened by a little bit, and its strength has also increased by a little bit.

The third freight car is loaded with various bullets and shells, in addition to some cantaloupe grenades.

The fourth and fifth freight cars are filled with logistics supplies, including flour, rice, pork, various types of canned food, as well as military uniforms, military boots, bedding and so on.

Looking at the trophies in several carriages, Wang Shugen's excited eyes straightened: "Platoon leader, our Eighth Route Army has never been so rich, let alone the guns, there are so many artillery!"

In fact, it is no wonder that Wang Shugen is so excited. Although the Eighth Route Army is nominally the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, it is led by the Nationalist Government.

But after all, it was raised by the stepmother, and the weapons, equipment and supplies given were quite limited, which was not enough to support the combat consumption of the Eighth Route Army.

In the middle and late period of the Anti-Japanese War, it almost disappeared directly.

As far as Li Yunlong will develop the new regiment, there is only one mortar, that's all.

Not only that, but the Eighth Route Army's guns and ammunition were also very scarce.

Many soldiers don't even have guns, they can only use red-tasseled guns and broadswords, and even if they have guns, they only have a few bullets.

After the bullets are finished, go up to fight the bayonet.

The lack of supplies caused the Eighth Route Army to have no extra bullets to practice shooting, and the lack of food caused the soldiers to suffer from malnutrition.

The combination of various factors has caused the Eighth Route Army's individual combat effectiveness, whether it is marksmanship or stabbing, to be far inferior to that of the little devil.

Every time a war is fought, in the end, it can only be heaped with human lives. Even if the battle is won, the battle losses are often far greater than that of the little devil, or even several times that of the little devil.

Wang Shugen really lived a hard life...
