Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

"Duanzao!"

In Songcun Town, Qian Bojun personally brought the security squad to greet Chu Yunfei.

It was still about three or four years before Qian Bojun surrendered to the enemy in the original work. At that time, the Jinsui Army experienced repeated attacks from many parties and was unable to recover. In addition, Yan Laoxi was fully prepared to surrender to the enemy, and the entire army was enveloped in a sense of defeat. It was naturally not surprising that the entire army would surrender to the enemy.

But now it has not even been 40 years. Although the Jinsui Army is trapped in a corner, its spirit has not been completely broken. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Qian Bojun still has a spirit of vigor in his body, unlike in the original work, where he is simply a shameless old man.

Chu Yunfei made a "whisper" and asked the horse to slow down: "What's going on on the Eighth Route?"

"The situation is more complicated than we expected." Qian Bojun stepped forward and took the reins of Captain Chu's horse, walking in front: "Their strength is somewhat beyond our imagination."

"Beyond imagination?" Chu Yunfei frowned.

The last time the two armies competed, the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the New Regiment left a deep impression on him: not only were they well-equipped, but the quality of their individual soldiers was also much higher than that of other armies, and any one of them would be a sharpshooter. This time he estimated the combat effectiveness of the new regiment based entirely on the strength of the company, but the result was still beyond imagination?

"Yes, when we were arranging the specific process yesterday, the other party asked us if we wanted to practice infantry and artillery coordination. If we were reluctant, they could provide training bombs with reduced power..."

"Training bombs!" Chu Yunfei twitched the corners of his mouth. This was so extravagant.

Given the wealth of the New Regiment, the next step would definitely be to join the artillery. He had already guessed that the New Regiment might be equipped with mortars. But having training bombs would be outrageous. In this era, only the great powers can play with training bombs, but they are not seen in China. The warlord's money must be used to buy real things. As for producing it yourself - what is your productivity? If you don’t have enough genuine artillery shells, you still dare to waste it on fakes?
"Did they say anything about the size of their artillery?" Chu Yunfei asked again.

Qian Bojun paused before answering: "I don't know the specific situation, but the Eighth Route Army said that for this drill, their regiment specially transferred an artillery battery."

"Artillery battery?" Chu Yunfei frowned.

The firepower level on the domestic battlefield is not high. Basically, 105mm howitzers can only be equipped at the corps level, and 75mm mountain artillery field guns must also be equipped with divisions and brigades. For regimental-level troops, it is enough to have some 37mm anti-tank guns and 82mm mortars.

The Jin area is very mountainous, and the Japanese armored troops basically do not come here. The effect of equipped with combat anti-artillery is not great. On the contrary, mortars are more important.

According to the standards of the national government, the mortar company directly under an infantry regiment should have twelve 82mm mortars. But in fact, it would be good to have six doors, and the combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed. The current situation of his th Regiment is even more special. It is difficult to deal with Shangguan, let alone how many cannons it can equip. The total number of mortars in the entire regiment is only four, which is actually the size of an artillery platoon.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei immediately felt an unpleasant feeling. This time it seems that I am still going to be overwhelmed by that guy Li Yunlong...

The group of people soon arrived at Qian Bojun's camp headquarters and pounced on the large map of the camp headquarters. Qian Bojun looked at the map, and then pointed at a mountain: "Regiment seat, the location of the drill is here. The Eighth Route Army probably has no intention of attacking, but it is also guarding against us. Now my Second Company is fighting with one of the Eighth Route Army The venue is being set up there, and once the venue is set up, the drill will officially begin."

"The content of this drill is a mountain attack. We and the Eighth Route Army each send out a company to attack the prepared defensive positions together. The Eighth Route Army said this is to enhance the cooperative combat capability between the two armies." Qian Bojun's expression became strange. .

To enhance the coordinated combat capabilities of the two armies... this reason is pure nonsense.

On December 9, the New Army's counterattack officially began. All the reactionary officers who fought to the death of the Second Column were eliminated, and people from the Shanxi Detachment of the Eighth Route Army served as officers. It was obvious that the New Army had completely turned to the Eighth Route Army under pressure, and the two sides were actually in a state of exchange of fire.

"The purpose of Li Yunlong's military exercise is to have both of us show off our muscles and hand over our trump cards to see who can fight better!" Chu Yunfei immediately understood what Li Yunlong meant.

Fang Ligong, who had been silent until now, finally spoke: "But why did he expose his strength through drills? If I were him, I would try my best to hide my strength and prepare for battle."

Chu Yunfei glanced at Fang Ligong and sighed. Qian Bojun on the side couldn't hold it back anymore and answered for Chu Yunfei: "The reason is simple. They don't want to fight with us, and they think their fighting power can suppress us."

Fang Ligong is not an idiot. In just a moment, he understood Li Yunlong's intention and the reason why Chu Yunfei sighed.

The muzzle of the gun is unanimous against the outside world. This is not only a righteousness recognized by the whole nation, but also a principle recognized by the Jinsui Army in the past. During the Battle of Taiyuan, everyone fought side by side and achieved considerable results. But now, when he thinks about the problem, he naturally puts the Eighth Route Army in the position of the enemy.

When did this start?

"Since Li Yunlong has shown us his strength, we have to take a good look." Chu Yunfei found a chair and sat down: "Qian Bojun, let your troops perform well and don't let the Eighth Route Army look down on you!"

"Yes! Danzuo!"

……

"How are you preparing?"

Wang Chengzhu, who was wiping the mortar, suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and a jolt. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the person coming behind him was his captain.

"Reporting to the regiment leader, the last batch of 82mm training ammunition has arrived. Everything is ready and the drill is about to begin!"

Since the mortars in the hands of the Eighth Route Army were basically 82mm, in addition to the 60mm caliber artillery shells, Meng Zhige also provided some 82mm caliber artillery shells. During this exercise, the New Regiment brought a batch of 82mm training bombs with the intention of using them to friendly forces.

"Well, good job this time, I will ask the brigade commander for a favor, expand your artillery battery into an artillery battalion, and you, the company commander, will be promoted to battalion commander!" Li Yunlong looked at the shell boxes all over the courtyard, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

Senior Zhao finally moved the training class to the shooting range. I heard that the scale of the training class has now expanded several times. The number of shells fired every day is not a small number, and the students trained are all good players.

But no matter what, most of the first batch of students have entered the pocket of his new regiment. The regiment-affiliated artillery company of the new regiment was also officially established not long ago. There are three platoons, nine squads, and eighteen sixty guns. Mortar.

Originally, among these nine squads, at least three squads should be used as ammunition squads, specialized in transporting and carrying artillery shells to maintain sustained combat capabilities. However, the 60 mortars provided by Consultant Meng were too light. Li Yunlong waved his hand and allocated two to each squad. What he wanted was one burst of firepower.

As for the ammunition issue, we can only let the artillery battery practice more weight-bearing, and then aggrieve the comrades of the regiment transport team.

Think about a big battle with the Japanese in the future, with a regiment of 3,000 men, hundreds of automatic firepower, hundreds of sniper rifles, and eighteen mortars. One round would be enough for the Japanese to drink a big pot...

Li Yunlong couldn't help but take out the cigarette case from his pocket, put a cigarette in his mouth, and then took out the matchbox.

Before he could even take out the matches, Wang Chengzhu, who was beside him, swooped over and said, "Commander, this yard is full of artillery shells!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Li Yunlong quickly took the cigarette out of his mouth: "Aren't you living a good life? In the past, not to mention cannonballs in the warehouse, even mice would cry when they came in..."

Soon, Commander Li was driven out by his artillery company commander.

"Damn it, Consultant Meng is right. Smoking is really not a good habit."

Li Yunlong had a cigarette case and a matchbox in one hand, but he had no interest in smoking. He walked forward a little and saw Hu Sheng passing by with the guards.

"Lao Hu, these cigarettes are for you." Li Yunlong thrust half a box of cigarettes into Hu Sheng's hand.

"Aren't you going to smoke?" Hu Sheng looked confused.

"I quit smoking." (End of chapter)
