blood feud

"Head Wei, the Dingwo No. 70 is a submachine gun designed by our commander-in-chief himself, drawn by himself, and supervised the production. This is the pride of our entire Rehe, and I hope you will give full play to its power. When used as a light machine gun, You can install the front bracket and use a large drum with [-] rounds, and the effective range exceeds the crooked handle."

The technician said proudly: "We can proudly say that you will never find such excellent infantry weapons and cavalry weapons on the entire domestic battlefield! See if you hang a grenade launcher on it, it can also Fire the grenade! We are here this time to focus on introducing this Dingwa No. [-], because it entrusts the ardent hope of the commander-in-chief!"

"****, don't talk about it, can you, I'm going to bleed out!"

Wei Chong grabbed a handful of Dingwo No. 70, and under the guidance of the technician, he quickly completed the disassembly, and then carefully wiped it clean.With a click, a 400-round ammunition drum was loaded, and then it lay down on the ground, and it was a continuous shot, and the dust was flying more than [-] meters in front of it.

"It's really a good gun!" Wei Chong has fought bloody battles for many years, so he naturally knows the quality of firearms: "Whether it is the rate of fire, range, or impact area, there is no problem as a light machine gun! Such a 70-round drum can completely kill small guns. The devil's two crooked handles! Although they are a bit heavier as a submachine gun, they are very light as a light machine gun, good!"

Let’s not mention how Wei Chong organizes recruits, expands troops, and familiarizes himself with new weapons.

It is said that Zhang Er Leng led a battalion of soldiers to speed up his horse, and easily passed through the territory of Tong County and Yanqing, and rushed to Chicheng County the next afternoon.

All the soldiers of Zou Baoyin's guard company knew Zhang Erleng.So he asked about the location of Zou Baoyin's headquarters, and after handing over the troops to the deputy battalion commander Dai Guangye, he flew to Zou Baoyin's headquarters on a flying horse.Apart from saluting, the guards didn't even dare to fart.

"Zou Baoyin, where is Zou Baoyin?" Before the man got off his horse, Zhang Er Leng yelled in a rough voice: "Damn it, will you show off to me when you become the head of the regiment? I came all the way to see You, you didn’t even come out to greet me, have you forgotten how I taught you?”

"Well, you bastard, you are still so arrogant and domineering on my one-acre land!" Zou Baoyin didn't expect Zhang Erling to come so quickly, and hurried out when he heard the roar: "Are you here to see me? Nonsense! You simply say: Where is my equipment? This is more in line with your personality!"

Zhang Er flicked the reins into the hands of the guards in a daze, then walked towards Zou Baoyin, and shouted, "Of course the equipment must be given to Lao Tzu quickly. Didn't I see that Lao Tzu was clean and slick and didn't bring anything? What if I meet someone?" You're such a blind lock, I've designated the gutter to overturn the boat!"

At present, the fire was imminent, and after the two old comrades laughed and scolded, Zhang Erleng urged Zou Baoyin to check his equipment in the ammunition depot.

"Er Leng, you have to be prepared!" Zou Baoyin went to the office to issue a certificate and a bill of lading, and then said: "I don't know what the boss wants to do sitting in Chengde, but this time the equipment may exceed yours. imagination."

Zhang Er didn't care about Zou Baoyin's reminder, and after entering a separate warehouse to check, he was finally dumbfounded:

Entering the door are 105 Type 8 41mm field cannons, 75 Type 75 12mm field guns and 24 36mm mountain guns each, 24 Type 72 heavy machine guns, 7 Maxim heavy machine guns, 1 double-linked air defense heavy machine guns, There are 0 mortars, 240 Jieggarev light machine guns, [-] Dingwa-[-] submachine guns, and [-] grenade guns.There are countless bullets and shells.

After staying for a while, Zhang Er stuttered and asked, "Bao Yin, you are not mistaken, this is the equipment for me?"

Zou Baoyin said solemnly: "Dang Zang is for you, my share is in another warehouse. Wei Chong's share is on your way here, and I have already sent the independent cavalry battalion to escort it. I just I reminded you to prepare your mind. In the past half a year or so, a total of [-] pack horses passed through Fengning to transport things to me."

"Isn't this too outrageous?" Zhang Er was not at all mentally prepared: "This is more equipment than a reinforced regiment, and there is also equipment for an artillery regiment. Without 5000 people, it is impossible to fiddle with so much equipment. I Now there are only 746 people, and there are still more than 4000 people left. Is the boss right? I can’t take so many things with me!”

"The boss has already told me in the telegram that how you take away and use these equipments is not his consideration." Zou Baoyin said with a smirk on his face: "However, the boss asked me to tell you that these things are only for you." It can be stored with me for half a year, and you must get rid of it all before the end of this year, otherwise the military law will be used!"

Zhang Er Leng was born in the secret camp of the ancient tomb, and has followed Bai Shujie for many years, and he can be regarded as a general brought out by the commander-in-chief.Although the boss only said that he would go to Zhoukoudian to open up a secret base, but judging from the variety and quantity of equipment, it is necessary to pull up the airs of two regiments before the end of this year.

"I have been here for half a year, and the reconnaissance company has not been idle." Zou Baoyin took Zhang Erleng back to the headquarters, and then pointed to the map and said: "The Fangshan Zhoukoudian line belongs to the early Yanshan Mountains, also known as Xiaoyanshan. Here The north is high and the south is low, and the mountains are steep. According to the news brought back by the reconnaissance company, there are a large number of bandits here, and they are committing all kinds of crimes."

"The local people said: 'There are bandits everywhere, there are bandits everywhere, and no one is safe from bandits.' You can imagine how complicated the situation here is. Based on what we have learned so far, there are a large number of bandits. , the bandit leaders are brothers Wang Damei and Wang Ermei. I think, if you really want to gain a foothold in this place, you have to learn from Commander Gan.”

"My Chicheng County is not much better. In the past six months, half of the army's energy has been devoted to suppressing bandits. I don't know what the original garrison here is for. There are dozens of bandits in Chicheng and Longguan. After half a year of fighting, one battalion wiped out Li Jingchun and Zhang Jin, two habitual bandits, and executed more than 400 of the most heinous bandits."

"Boss and Commander Gan's point of view is correct. There will be no mercy for the bandits who are stained with the blood of ordinary people! It is because I killed the bandits that I quickly won the sincere support of the people of Chicheng. According to the common people, Their ancestors have been persecuted by bandits for generations, and the government has never really suppressed bandits, and now they can finally sleep with peace of mind."

Zhang Er Leng listened very seriously, both he and Zou Baoyin were very clear about the danger of the bandits.When I first came to North China at the beginning of last year, I was attacked by bandits for the first time, causing heavy sacrifices for the troops.Later, they all participated in the eradication of the big bandit Xu Erhei, but they didn't expect the situation here to be more dangerous.

Zou Baoyin finally smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect Fangshan to become your territory. After I suppressed the bandits here, many of them went to Fangshan. For example, Zhang Xinyuan and Xiao Mingzi More than 300 bandits from these two groups fled to you, and it will depend on how you deal with them from now on."

Zhang Er Leng smiled wryly and said: "I thought it was a good job, but I didn't expect to deal with bandits. There is no way to do that. When the boss gives an order, he can only point out where to fight. The most important thing now is to let Lao Tzu This battalion hurriedly familiarized themselves with these equipment, and then went to find a place to settle down."

Zou Baoyin hurriedly said: "The boss specifically explained that your first foothold is Wo Niu Ding and Jiulong Valley, 50 kilometers northwest of Zhoukoudian. Take this place first and build a strong fortress. This is what the boss has repeatedly emphasized .Then it's time for you to let go, don't mess around."

In the following month, Zhang Erleng's battalion began to fully familiarize themselves with the new equipment.Because of changes in weaponry, he adjusted his battalion.

Because of the Meiji 41-style 75mm mountain gun and field gun, the little devil is called the 41-type mountain gun with a range of 6 kilometers.It is characterized by its light weight (540 kg, which can be disassembled and transported), and two soldiers can push it around. It has good mobility and is very convenient to use on various terrains.As for the eight heavy cannons, we can wait until we find the location, and we can't take them away for the time being.

So Zhang Erleng decided to form an artillery company first.After so many years of gunfire, he understood a truth: the worst part of the domestic army is the serious shortage of artillery, or there is no artillery at all!If you want to deter some local armed forces, the most powerful thing is to pull an artillery company out to scare them to death!

After adjustments, the combat troops of Zhang Erleng's task force will all adopt a four-shift system, and the specific organization is as follows:

746 members of Fangshan Task Force Battalion: Battalion Commander Zhang Erleng, Deputy Battalion Commander Dai Guangye

There are 66 guards in the platoon: Wu Mingjie, the platoon leader, and Hao Zhigang, the deputy platoon leader.Under the jurisdiction of a communications squad, two combat squads.Equipped with 6 Jaggarev-style light machine guns and 26 Dingwo-[-] submachine guns.

Artillery company 226 people, company commander Du Guangming, deputy company commander Zheng Tianyou.

Mountain artillery platoon: equipped with 41 Type 75 3mm mountain artillery and 12 submachine guns;

Field artillery platoon: equipped with 41 Type 75 3mm field artillery and 12 submachine guns;

Support platoon: two machine gun squads, two support squads, 6 light machine guns, 32 submachine guns.

The machine gun company has 226 people, the company commander Qin Guozhu, and the deputy company commander Jiang Zi'an.

A row of light machine guns: 12 light machine guns, 3 mortars, 24 submachine guns, and 4 grenade guns.

The second row of light machine guns: 12 light machine guns, 3 mortars, 24 submachine guns, and 4 grenade guns.

Three rows of heavy machine guns: equipped with 3 Type 3 heavy machine guns and [-] mortars;

Assault company 226 people, company commander Ling Kaishan, deputy company commander Che Dafu.

Assault row: 8 light machine guns, 48 ​​submachine guns, and 4 grenade guns.

Assault second row: 8 light machine guns, 48 ​​submachine guns, and 4 grenade guns.

Assault three platoons: 8 light machine guns, 48 ​​submachine guns, and 4 grenade guns.

After being busy for half a month, each company finally figured out the weapons in their hands.The most difficult thing among them is the grenade gun, because it has special requirements for loading and shooting.Fortunately, Zou Baoyin's side has already been equipped in advance, so a team was sent to give on-site guidance.In fact, this thing is very simple, as long as you can use a rifle, you can use it.

At eight o'clock in the evening on May 1935, Zhang Er couldn't stay any longer.The best place for troops to become familiar with weapons is in combat.So he gave an order, and the whole battalion moved out immediately.Take advantage of the dark sky to cross the front line of Yanqing and go straight to the direction of Zhoukoudian!

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
