Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 72 The position of the platoon leader, the life of the regiment leader

"Why mobilize troops to carry out military operations without authorization?"

Li Yunlong's face sank, and he asked back: "Commander Zhao, how did you become a political commissar? You're not competent."

"Since you came to work in my new regiment, why didn't you investigate the situation of my new regiment before taking office? You are not careful in your work!"

Zhao Gang was taken aback for a moment: "Leader Li, what do you mean by that?"

Li Yunlong smiled slyly and said, "It is true that I sent my troops out to carry out military missions without asking for instructions, but this was approved by the boss of the headquarters."

Zhao Gang: "This is impossible!"

Li Yunlong: "Is there anything impossible about this? It's rare and strange. Do you know why I disobeyed the military order in the Battle of Cangyun Ridge, but was not dismissed from the position of head of the new regiment?"

Zhao Gang asked subconsciously, "Why?"

Li Yunlong said proudly: "Because I led the Xinyi Regiment to victory, not only killed the leader of the devils' alliance, but also captured the devils' alliance flag!"

"A meritorious service is a meritorious deed, and as far as I know, our Eighth Route Army will not punish you for your mistakes just because you have made meritorious deeds."

Zhao Gang is an old party member with deep qualifications, and he obviously doesn't believe Li Yunlong's words.

Li Yunlong: "If you just make these contributions, of course it won't make the head of the headquarters exempt me from punishment."

"In the Battle of Cangyun Ridge, although our Xinyi regiment won the victory, the casualties of the troops were also very serious, and the organizational system was almost destroyed."

"Therefore, I issued a military order to the boss to develop the new regiment into a reinforced regiment with 358 troops like the 5000th regiment of the Jinsui Army within three months.

At the same time, during these three months, Xinyi Regiment does not need to report any actions, nor does it need to hand over all spoils. "

Zhao Gang was taken aback: "What? Develop the disabled new regiment into a reinforced regiment with 5000 troops within three months?"

"How is this possible? Even if you can recruit so many soldiers, the problem of weapons and food cannot be solved?"

Although Zhao Gang knew that Li Yunlong was a small expert in developing troops, he did not think that Li Yunlong could develop the troops into a reinforced regiment with more than 5000 troops within three months.

If he really had this ability, at Cangyunling, the independent regiment would not have only more than 1000 people.

Especially weapons and food have always been the biggest headaches for the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water: "Then what can I do, who will let me disobey orders on the battlefield? If I don't treat myself harder and issue such a difficult military order, I will have to go to the clothing factory as a 'female director' .”

"Now at least we can get three months. Even if we can't complete the task by then, at most we can continue to go to the clothing factory. The boss can't shoot us, right?"

After a pause, Li Yunlong changed his voice and continued: "But that's fine, anyway, we can't urinate in the same pot, and you can change to a new partner at that time."

Zhao Gang ignored Li Yunlong's sarcasm. He was silent for a moment and asked, "How long has it been since you issued the military order?"

Li Yunlong: "It's been almost a month and a few days."

Zhao Gang: "How is the development of the army?"

Li Yunlong: "When the troops are dispersed, all actions do not need to be reported to me, so we don't know about this.

However, it has been a while, so I arranged for a correspondent to conduct a thorough investigation, and it is estimated that the results will be known in the next day or so. "

Although Li Yunlong didn't know the development of each battalion company, he knew the approximate location of each battalion company.

After all, in case of any emergency, it is necessary to gather troops urgently, and it is impossible to find no one.

Although it has only been more than a month now, and there is still a period of time before three months, Li Yunlong feels uneasy. To be honest, he wants to develop the disabled new regiment into a reinforced regiment of 5000 people within three months. It's not sure at all.

At the beginning, listening to Wang Chengzhu's suggestion was nothing more than a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Therefore, Li Yunlong arranged for correspondents to go out to contact the scattered battalions.

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Let's take a look at the development of each battalion."

……

Wangjia Village.

Today, Wang Chengzhu's troops have grown to more than 1200 people.

Although Wang Chengzhu is only holding the position of a platoon leader, he has actually lived the life of a regiment leader, and his small life is even far more comfortable than that of an ordinary regiment leader.

General regiment-level combat units, that is, three infantry battalions, plus several units directly under the regiment, such as guard platoons, communication squads, and special agent companies.

But Wang Chengzhu's 'regiment', in addition to infantry, also has its own cavalry, artillery, and even special operations troops.

Moreover, the equipment of each unit is also very sophisticated.

Take artillery as an example. Although Wang Chengzhu's army has only one artillery squad in name, its artillery power is definitely comparable to that of an artillery battalion.

4 Type 92 infantry guns, more than 10 Type 97 light mortars, in addition, there are several 60mm caliber mortars.

The other Eighth Route Army, not to mention the Type 97 light mortar and the Type 92 infantry gun, can have two 60mm caliber mortars, which is already considered good firepower.

For example, the Xinyi regiment in the Cangyunling period had only one 60mm caliber mortar and few shells.

In addition, there are countless light and heavy machine guns in the artillery platoon, and the ammunition is also very sufficient. In order to quickly improve the marksmanship, the soldiers have to conduct live ammunition shooting training every two days, unlike other Eighth Route Army troops who can only aim .

It is not an exaggeration for the current artillery platoon to say that it is so rich. To paraphrase Li Yunlong, Wang Chengzhu seems to be a local rich man...

When there is no combat mission, the soldiers of the artillery platoon are not idle, and they are training hard every day.

In order to cultivate the comprehensive ability of each squad leader, after Wang Chengzhu taught the training methods of the "Soldiers' Quick Training Manual" and "Three-Three System Tactical Training Manual" to each squad leader, each squad leader trained by himself.

As a qualified commander, what Wang Chengzhu needs to do is to have an overview of the overall situation, instead of doing everything himself. In that case, although he is a diligent commander, he may not be a good commander.

Of course, Wang Chengzhu will also observe and inspect the training situation of the troops at the training ground from time to time, and he will point out and correct some things that are not in place in time.

This afternoon, Wang Chengzhu made a routine inspection.

In addition to the cavalry squad, artillery squad and special forces who are conducting their own training subjects, the infantry squad uses "three-three tactics" as the main training subject.

"Pay attention to formation! Evacuate but don't disperse!"

"The offensive team, fire team, and support team must follow immediately!"

"You are a separate combat team, but you are also a whole!"

"..."

Because of Wang Chengzhu's words, good training results are eaten by meat, which makes the training of the artillery platoon very introverted. In order to eat meat, each squad, each team, and even every soldier trains very hard.

After two or three days of training, the "Three-Three System Tactics" has achieved initial results. Although the soldiers have not yet mastered the essentials of the "Three-Three System Tactics", at least there is no problem with the formation.

According to the previous training, during the battle, swarms rushed towards the enemy's position, which looked really imposing and bluffing.

But charging like this is actually no different from sending them to death, just like a group of live targets.

You must know that although the war potential of the Japanese army is limited, the firepower is still very fierce. If they charge blindly in groups, the Japanese army does not even need to use heavy firepower. Only relying on the machine guns on the ground, they can cut the charging soldiers like leeks. , all swept down.

At this time, the importance of "Three-Three System Tactics" is reflected.

Wang Chengzhu was quite satisfied, but there were still many deficiencies. He was about to step forward to give pointers, when an orderly suddenly rushed over: "Platoon leader, someone from the regiment headquarters is here to find you."
