Chapter 155: Military Expansion Plan
"Take your time, it is impossible to become fat in one go, now it is much better than before"

The surprise of the 15 tons of grain did not last long for the teacher. In just a few minutes, the teacher regained his original calmness and wisdom, and said with a smile.

"The days are passing slowly, and the devils are fighting slowly. After all, we are not strong enough. Even if all these food and supplies are brought to us, we may not be able to keep them."

"That's true." After the reminder from the teacher, the brigade leader nodded in agreement.

15 tons of grain, they simply don't have enough space to store it, and once the devils know about the grain, they will definitely send troops to snatch it, and they will either have to burn it with tears or be snatched away by the devils.

This is called Huaibi Qicrime.

"However, since the supplies are sufficient now, we can also start to expand the army."

After learning from the pain, the brigade commander felt it was time to make a change.

15 tons of grain is there, and several thousand tons of medical supplies are there. Why can't they transport it? It's not because they are not strong enough. If they take the road, the roles between them and the devils are reversed. That is, the devils are robbing the Eighth Route Army transport team. .

If they are strong enough to compete head-on with a division of the devils, then the 10,000+ tons of supplies will not be transported by one division in one or two trips.

"Yeah." The teacher also nodded.

There are two biggest difficulties in expanding the army. One is insufficient weapons and equipment. Although carrying a red-tasseled gun is considered a soldier, it is meaningless. A red-tasseled gun is a target on the battlefield. The second is insufficient food. A soldier has only one mouth, and one more mouth will add nearly a thousand catties of food a year.

The food problem is actually easy to solve. Independent production is only a matter of time. It only takes one or two years to ensure the basic food and clothing of the troops. However, weapons and equipment have always been a headache for them.Self-produced, the first gun at the Xiaochuanshan Armory in the base area has not yet been produced, and only some bullets can be reloaded.And only a few thousand rounds of ammunition can be reloaded every month.

The four transport teams from the first independent group perfectly solved these problems.

"Chief of Staff, please tell us about the current material situation of our division, and then we will formulate an army expansion plan"

At this time, the chief of staff of the division has already counted the supplies, he raised his voice and said.

"It is indeed time to expand the military, and it is still a large military expansion"

The chief of staff had a smile on his face, and his tone was full of pride.

"Our division currently has 400 million catties of corn, white flour, soybeans and other grains, plus the grain grown by ourselves in the base area, and the transportation team can transport 50 tons of grain from the independent group every month, so we can now ensure Food supply for 3 people for a year"

"The number of guns is slightly lacking. Now we only have 10980 rifles, 1900 pistols, 608 light machine guns, and 50 mortars. These weapons can only arm more than 1 people, but every month the independent regiment has More than 1000 [-] caps were shipped over.”

"As for the ammunition, it is completely sufficient. There are 6.5 million rounds of 200mm 7.92-cap bullets, 120 million rounds of 150 Mauser bullets, 8 million rounds of shell gun bullets, and [-] rounds of mortar shells."

"Hey, wasn't the German Mauser 98k that was sent earlier? How did it become a devil's gun?" Devil's gun.

For the sake of secrecy, the gun transport team is independent, directly led by the chief of staff, not in the large transport team, so the brigade commander is not clear about it.

"For us, the 98 caps are actually more useful than the [-]k, and this batch of [-] caps is much better than the ones we captured from the devils." At this moment, the teacher took over the words.

"The power of the 98-Gai is much lower than that of the [-]K, but it is still a hole in one shot. As long as you use round-headed bullets, the power can still be guaranteed."

"Moreover, the recoil force of the 98 cover is much lower than that of the [-]K, and the overall breech is also easier to maintain. In addition, the dust cover is very practical. There are more recruits in our army, and the [-] cover is more friendly to recruits."

In fact, changing the rifle to the 98K is an independent idea, and Luo Yun naturally doesn't care about it. Both of these guns can be opened in his box, and the small-caliber [-]K is more dominant than the [-]K in number. .

The debate on the 98-Gai and [-]K has been going on since ancient times, but both are weapons, and the structural concept is a pull-bolt rifle, but the detail design and caliber are different, which has caused obvious differences in many performances between the two guns. difference.

The 98 cover is simple in structure, easy to operate, easy to use, and the gun is longer, suitable for fighting bayonets, but its power is relatively small, and its ballistic performance is not ideal, while the [-]K is powerful and accurate, but its structure is relatively complicated, and its recoil is also low. Big and hard to get your hands on.

Seeing this, the brigade commander also nodded in agreement, although his inner preference made him tend to use the German Mauser 98K, but this kind of thing is not important, as long as there is a little reason, he can abandon it.

"Our division currently has a total of 8000 main troops on the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei side, including 344 in the three regiments of the 4500th Brigade, 500 in the independent cavalry battalion of the division headquarters, 1500 in the first regiment, and 1500 in the second regiment. As for other places Not to mention the Self-Defense Forces and the Guerrillas.”

"The system of three battalions and 13 companies in each regiment of the main force, 12 infantry companies plus an artillery company, each artillery company is equipped with 60 infantry guns and 5, and each regiment is equipped with 90 machine guns"

The so-called teaching regiment is a regiment established to train and educate recruits. It has a certain independent combat effectiveness, but because there are a large number of recruits inside, and even the ratio of recruits is higher than that of the basic independent regiment, the combat effectiveness is relatively weak. It can be compared with a small team of devils.

The division commander first took a look at the current situation, and then began to talk about the idea of ​​expanding the army.

"Judging from the state of the teaching regiment, the pace of military expansion must be well controlled, and it cannot be too large at once, and a certain amount of veterans must be mixed in, otherwise the combat effectiveness of the troops will drop drastically."

"It's just that our supplies are enough to expand the main force to 2 people, and we are a bit unwilling to expand the army slowly, and the current situation also requires the rapid expansion of the army."

Touching his chin for a while, the teacher took out a handful of Camel cigarettes, lit one and continued.

"Let's do this first. The three main regiments of the 344th brigade will all be expanded into a large regiment of 2100 people, organized into three battalions and 16 companies. The recruits will be transferred directly from the teaching regiment. This will ensure that the combat effectiveness will not decline. After a period of adaptation , the combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely rise in a straight line."

Both the brigade commander and the chief of staff nodded in agreement. Each regiment will expand to 600 people, and there are still recruits with certain training. This will not affect the combat effectiveness, and can quickly integrate into the army. After a few battles, they will soon Can grow into a qualified veteran.

The teacher's words continued.

"Then set up four more teaching groups, each with 2000 people, and the first and second groups will also expand according to this number."

"As for the issue of grassroots officers, we can also exchange weapons and ammunition for veterans."
