Age of Rebirth

The ambush at Laoyagou came to an end. In this campaign, the Bloody Hands used pure artillery firepower to wipe out the devils. A field brigade with a full staff of more than 1000 people, from the brigade commander down, slipped through the net, and the Bloody Hands artillery suffered casualties Of the 12 people, four of them were killed in battle, six mortars were destroyed, and eight infantrymen were killed or injured, three of whom were killed in battle. All were caused by devil snipers, who consumed more than [-] rounds of various artillery and were captured.

At such a small price, the brilliant record of completely annihilating the Ninth Brigade of Devils can be said to be an outstanding result. If it was a confrontation with infantry in the past, the casualties would never be this number. Although the artillery costs are more, this is in line with Tang Qiuli's consistent The guiding ideology is that it is better to spend a hundred more rounds than to exchange the life of a soldier for a little devil.

The special unit in charge of monitoring the movements of the devils sent a telegram, but the devils everywhere did not see any movement, as if they didn't know that I was encircling and annihilating the Ninth Brigade, and asked for instructions on the next move.

Tang Qiuli ordered them to continue to monitor the movements of the devils from all walks of life. After receiving the order, they gradually withdrew to the base for repairs. [

The troops of more than 2 people, with the joy of victory, quickly left the battlefield, leaving more than 1000 lonely souls mourning in foreign lands, unable to find their way home.

Perhaps, the Kwantung Army's senior management is wondering why the Ninth Brigade suddenly lost contact and where they are now. According to later intelligence, the Kwantung Army Command has been troubled by this problem for nearly a year. The reconnaissance plane looked for the whereabouts of the Ninth Brigade. Later, it was the devil's agent who discovered the remains of the battlefield. From the mud, he found the buried and broken military flag, and judged that the Ninth Brigade had been wiped out.

As for the anti-Japanese armed forces, the high-level Japanese army agreed that only the Bloody Hands and the Anti-Japanese Alliance have this strength, and the subsequent aircraft reconnaissance did not find a large number of troops marching in the surrounding areas, which is really puzzling. A great mystery of the Kwantung Army.

Taking advantage of the devils, they still sneaked away quickly. Therefore, the troops hid in the forest as quickly as possible to avoid the devils' aerial reconnaissance. The troops of more than 2 people just didn't let the devils touch them. The trace, the concealment ability of the troops, is commendable.

Four days later, the troops returned to the base and were greeted like heroes by the people who stayed at the base. In Tang Qiuli's eyes, everything was so kind, as if he had returned to the place where he grew up. The kindness and nature made him revel.

When the soldiers entered the base from the secret passage, the recruits who were training in the square, under the order of the instructor, all stood at attention and paid tribute to the triumphant warriors. In the eyes of the recruits, they could not hide their envy and desire.

The soldiers held their heads high, shouting slogans, and walked past the recruits in a strict line. The dust on their bodies was their glory, and the torn battle clothes were their medals. This was the encouragement of the veterans to the new soldiers. A living example, this kind of encouragement is enough to ignite the blood in the hearts of the recruits, prompting them to long to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy as soon as possible and make meritorious deeds.

Rest for one night, and a plenary meeting was held the next day. It has been a long time, and the personnel are not so well organized. Each has its own tasks, from annihilating the Yoshino Wing, bombarding the Eighth Division, annihilating the Devils Armored Wing, to commanding Changshan cave was in danger, narrowly escaped death, surprise Anton, a bloody battle on the banks of the Yalu River, sent troops to Mudanjiang, turned Dongman upside down, captured Xinjing, forced the emperor of Manchukuo to flee in a hurry, threatened Harbin, and wiped out the Ninth Brigade.

Calculating with one's fingers, it has been nearly two months, fighting east and west, fighting thousands of miles across, annihilating more than [-] devils, killing the prestige of the bloody hand group, killing the heroic spirit of the bloody hand group, and making the Kanto The army was worried, and the folks in Kanto saw hope.

Qiu Sheng, Zhang Quan, and Wang Xu, who stayed at the base, looked envious. Feng Jiwu first reported the situation of the troops. Now, the total strength of the troops has reached more than 4000, of which more than [-] recruits have been recruited from various places. .

After Feng Jiwu finished speaking, everyone below, including Tang Qiuli, gasped. My dear, in the blink of an eye, an army of more than 4 people was pulled up, and the number of troops more than doubled. Tang Qiuli's head A little dizzy, temporarily crashed.

In his impression, the army now has more than 3 people, which is already very remarkable, so the chief of staff made a mistake with so many soldiers, right?He looked suspiciously at Feng Jiwu, and Feng Jiwu also knew that it was beyond everyone's expectations.

He smiled and called out a 26-year-old officer with a tall and straight figure and a serious face. Everyone knew him at a glance. Wu Hongtao, the commander of the recruit training camp, only had less contact with him. The location, the number of people, which troops were escorted back, and when they arrived at the base were all clearly stated.

Everyone summed it up in their hearts, isn't it this number? Tang Qiuli looked at this unfamiliar new barracks commander with great interest. Since the expansion of the army, he has relatively little contact with non-frontline combat troops. The work falls under Brother Qiusheng's scope.

He only remembered Wu Haitao, who came from Li Honggang's CCP member system. It seemed that he was also a very capable commander. From the moment he came back and saw the mental outlook of the recruits, he knew that the work of the recruit camp was very effective.

Tang Qiuli looked at Brother Qiusheng again. Qiusheng had obviously lost a lot of weight, but his eyes were still bright and wise. Intelligence work was not as easy as fighting devils on the battlefield with real knives and guns. , defeated and died, the burden on brother Qiusheng's shoulders is not light!

Zhang Quan, however, looks much older. He is responsible for the food, drink, guns and ammunition of nearly 5 people. Tang Qiuli was very moved by his attitude. Although these old guys did not have great military exploits, they paid no less than anyone else.

Next, the meeting held heated discussions around the issue of troop formation, and finally determined the following formation plan:

The four detachments of the whole army remain unchanged, but the strength of each detachment has increased to 1, and it has four brigades under its jurisdiction. Each brigade has five squadrons under its jurisdiction. Each squadron is full of 450 people. Administer eight detachments, each detachment is full of 45 people, including a 90-man squadron directly under the machine gun detachment. [

In addition, each detachment will form a new artillery brigade, which is required to be equipped with 48 field artillery pieces, [-] ​​mountain artillery pieces, and [-] Type [-] infantry artillery pieces. Twenty infantry guns and forty mortars.

According to Tang Qiuli's vision, a detachment of the Bloody Hand Regiment will not suffer in terms of military strength and firepower when facing a brigade or a second-rate division of the Devils. And firepower to have an advantage.

Each detachment also needs to form a new anti-tank gun squadron and an air defense squadron, both of which are directly under the detachment headquarters.

The most basic combat unit of the Blood Hands, the firepower of a unit, can explain all this. A combat unit of 45 people is equipped with two mortars, two heavy machine guns, and eight Czech-style light machine guns. , four throwing barrels, six submachine guns, two sniper rifles, twenty shell guns, and the rest are riflemen.

This kind of firepower equipment is extremely terrifying. Even if you are facing a squadron of Devils, in addition to having fewer troops than the Devils, in terms of the ferocity of the firepower, it is probably more than twice as strong as the Devils.

According to Tang Qiuli's requirements, any one of his troops must have more firepower than the opponent when they are equal to or slightly inferior to the devils.

For the equipment that the troops lacked, the arsenal stepped up production and assembled the troops as soon as possible. Wang Xu took over the task very easily. At the base, there was enough technology and raw materials to manufacture these weapons and equipment.

The scale of the artillery detachment was expanded. Except for one mortar squadron, the rest of the mortars were distributed to each detachment, and each detachment was deployed internally. The artillery detachment was mainly composed of field artillery, mountain artillery and Type [-] infantry artillery. Mainly, forty field artillery pieces, [-] mountain artillery pieces, and more than [-] Type [-] infantry artillery pieces will be equipped initially. In the future, as large-caliber artillery pieces are successively developed and developed, the troops will be equipped at any time.

At the very beginning, when Zheng Yong heard that all his mortars had been assigned to the detachments, he blushed anxiously and feared that it was the chief of staff who was reading out the formation plan. The addition of so many large-caliber artillery made me laugh from ear to ear. Seeing him like this, the old guys curled their lips at him, despising him a lot, and finally let out the breath they had held back a few days ago.

The strength of the special detachment increased to 2000. Before the entire team was selected and the detachment leader Tang Qiuquan did not return, the deputy commander Liu Tiehan acted as the detachment leader. The cavalry detachment will not be expanded for the time being, which makes Liu Chun extremely depressed.

The base guard brigade was reorganized, with a strength of more than 500 people to increase the base's defense force.

Recently, the troops have no major combat missions, and they mainly focus on training recruits, so that recruits can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and they can be replenished to each detachment in time. If there are special circumstances that require troops to leave the base to go out to fight, there must be two deputy commanders and chiefs of staff. Combat missions can only be carried out by mutual agreement.

After the chief of staff Feng Jiwu finished speaking, everyone found a problem. There is no such thing as the No. [-] figure in the army, Commander Tang Qiuli. What is the commander going to do when he hands over his command?

Tang Qiuli saw everyone's doubts, and after letting the Guan personnel leave the field, he announced a decision. This decision was no less than a blockbuster bomb.

Tang Qiuli announced that he was going abroad to Europe. Now everyone is in trouble. Commander, you go to Europe. How can we all rest assured in that unfamiliar environment? If something happens to you, what will the troops do?What should we do?Besides, the fight with the little devil is fierce now, if you leave the army, everyone has no backbone!

No, no, everyone’s opinions are unanimously unanimous. Even Liu Tiehan and Qiusheng expressed their opposition. Have to think about your safety!
