The beacon of youth

Li Yong is a young boy. He regained his physical strength the next day after a night of sleep. Li Yong went to various platoons to check. This time Wei Gang's machine gun platoon soldiers were very excited and seized six or nine Type II heavy machine gun, the firepower of the machine gun platoon will be unmatched in the future.

Li Yong told the soldiers that the Type [-] was nothing, and that the quality of the workmanship of the little devils could not be compared with that of Germany, because the Type [-] heavy machine gun used a platoon type of ammunition feeding, and an assistant shooter must be responsible for loading the bullets when shooting. This shortcoming is usually invisible, but if the battle is fierce, it will be obvious when the casualties of the soldiers are large, and the shooting is not as good as the Maxim, and the barrel is easy to overheat, and each heavy machine gun needs to carry one or two spares The advantage of the barrel is that it is lighter than the Maxim, so in the future we will use the Maxim as the main weapon if conditions permit.

After getting out of the machine gun platoon, Li Yong went to Gao Xiang's artillery platoon. The soldiers in the artillery platoon were not as happy as Wei Gang's machine gun platoon. Li Yong shouted: "Why are you still not happy? We just won a big victory Ah, it’s because the other platoons seized a lot. Does your platoon have anything to add? Your platoon has done a great job this time. If you don’t have your mortars, what will the enemy’s regiment guard company do? It’s just that they can be taken down. Our casualties will not be so small."

The platoon leader Gao Xiang said: "Company commander, it's not that we can't think about it. The enemy is all cavalry. The horse cavalry in the northwest are quite poor and don't have small artillery. We all know that, but when I saw that kid Wei Gang, he immediately came. Qi, this time not only replenished enough bullets, but also got six heavy machine guns, and now my head is soaring when I walk."

"I asked him, what is so arrogant about you Wei Gang, guess what he said, this kid told me, Lao Gao, our machine gun platoon is bigger this time, six [-]-style, our platoon The firepower has been strengthened all of a sudden, and it can be used as two platoons in the future. I heard that you don’t have many shells. What do you do if you run out of shells? Hang up those small cannons and let them ring like a bell?”

"Why don't you, old guard, feel embarrassed, report to the company commander and change it to an infantry platoon. Don't you still have twelve shell guns and twenty submachine guns, and then go to the old grandson of the supply platoon to get some grenades. Compared with when we were poor before, this firepower is not bad."

"If you have any difficulties that you can't solve in the future, just say hello to me. We must give full support. Ten heavy machine guns will shoot all the enemies and solve them. Then you go up and hand in your guns and capture the prisoners comfortably. Company commander, you See, Wei Gang didn't mean to anger me, didn't he?"

After listening to Gao Xiang, Li Yong was also happy. It seems that Wei Gang was really excited this time. It was obvious that he was angry with Gao Xiang on purpose, and so was Gao Xiang. You take it seriously.

Gao Xiang went on to say: "Commander, I also know that Wei Gang did it on purpose, but we only have one hundred and two shells left, so let's save and use the rest. These shells are precious to us. It’s almost time to sleep in the bed, if the shells run out, we really have to change to an infantry platoon.”

Li Yong smiled and said: "Don't listen to that boy Wei Gang, you also know that we don't have no shells, but we can't bring them. We only have ten donkeys when we go out. We have to bring as much food and tents as possible. This time it's good." Yes, we captured so many horses. Although our company is not cavalry, we can let the horses carry things. From now on, all the small artillery and shells in your platoon will be carried by the horses.

The company plans that your platoon will be full of twelve small cannons and 80 people. The initial idea is to allocate 32 horses for your platoon, eight horses for each squad, three pack cannons, and five pack shells. Bring some for you, and we won't have to worry about running out of shells when we fight in the future.

I'll go to the supply platoon later to see how the confiscation is going. I'll send you some shell guns if you have them. Your platoon is artillery, and your future development will focus on artillery. It's not a problem to carry submachine guns. We still need to focus on small cannons, but these are just plans, and it will take a while to fully implement them, but this is not difficult. You also know that our small cannons and shells are ready-made, as long as the personnel are replenished in place. . "

After hearing what Li Yong said, Gao Xiang and the soldiers in his platoon were about to jump up. One soldier asked in a low voice: "Company commander, how many people do we have in this company? Is this still a company? Our company has more than 500 people now." Now, can the superior agree to increase the number of people?"

Li Yong said: "There is no disagreement. The more people we grow, the happier we will be. As for what kind of establishment is a matter of growth, we only care about fighting and developing troops, and nothing else is our concern. When the number reaches 600, the instructor and I plan to pick another hundred prisoners who are of good age and origin to stay. We really can’t digest the rest of the prisoners. Veterans, it is estimated that the number of our company should be around 800 people."

At this moment, Gao Xiang and the soldiers in his platoon were stunned again. Good guy, a company of 800 people, let alone seen it, had never heard of it before. When encountering ordinary troops, even a regiment may not be an opponent.

A soldier said again: "Company commander, if there are 800 people, it is almost enough to deal with one regiment of the enemy."

Li Yong: "You can't look at it that way. We have played against Kuomintang miscellaneous brands these few times. Each regiment has only more than 1000 people. Not only is the quality of personnel poor, but the equipment is also not good. Yes, the Central Army is not only well equipped, but also has more personnel, and its combat quality is better than that of the miscellaneous troops. As long as it is at the regiment level, the troops have more than 2000 people. It is not as easy to deal with as the miscellaneous.

"Even the enemy's miscellaneous troops are not incapable of fighting. To put it bluntly, our last few battles have been fought skillfully. The enemy's combat effectiveness has not been displayed. For example, we fought Qingyang this time. On the surface, the battle is not difficult. , we just encountered a little trouble in front of the enemy regiment's department, and Ma Changsheng and the others encountered some hard goods in the third row, and everything else was sloppy."

"But if you think about it carefully, the Kuomintang troops guarding Qingyang are all cavalry. The cavalry is good at fighting in the plains, and defending the city is not their forte. Our company is from infantry. Street fighting is our forte. From this point of view, we must not have the slightest thought of underestimating the enemy in future battles, otherwise we will kill people."

After coming out of the cannon row, Li Yong went to the compound where the luggage row lived, and said to Sun Quanhou who came up to him, "How is it, old Sun?"

Sun Quanhou: "Most of them haven't been counted yet. They are mainly rifles, bullets, and grenades. The six heavy machine guns have been snatched away by that kid Wei Gang. I told him that the company commander agreed to you to take it again. Guess what? How did this kid tell me, this kid said that we don't even give them a machine gun platoon?"

"Isn't that right? I don't care if I agree or not. I just take it and leave. You said this kid almost snatched something from me." One chapter in the morning, read it in the evening, and another chapter if there is enough time.
