Anti-Japanese Jedi Player

Chapter 178

"Chief of Staff, tell me next."

The division commander handed over the podium to his chief of staff.

Sitting under the stage, the chief of staff walked up to the podium, looked at the slightly nervous brigade heads under the stands, smiled, opened his brand new American-made notebook, and began to speak.

"Don't worry, everyone. The transport brigade is mainly formed by recruiting recruits from the guerrillas, as well as recruits from various towns. The independent cavalry battalion of the division will deploy a company to be responsible for the security of the transport brigade."

Hearing this, the heads of the main regiments also breathed a sigh of relief. Every time a new army is formed, grassroots officers will be drawn from their troops. This is what they are most afraid of.Especially recently, all the regiments have been greatly expanded. Although the battalion of the 29th Division has been supplemented, there is still a serious shortage of grassroots officers. If they are transferred again, there may be problems.

The basic combat unit of the army is the squad. A full-staffed squad of the Eighth Route Army has 12 people. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the 119th Division reduced the squad to ten people.

In order to ensure that the squad's combat effectiveness does not drop too much, the machine gunner and the deputy squad leader must be veterans or outstanding soldiers with more than half a year's experience, so each squad needs at least 3 veterans.After many battles, the veterans of each regiment are just enough, and there are really not enough personnel to be transferred.

The worst thing is the teaching group, which can only guarantee that each class has one veteran.

"Of course the plan is a transport brigade of 4000 people, but food needs to be eaten at one bite, and roads must be built step by step. The division's plan is to complete the construction of the transport brigade within half a year."

The chief of staff continued talking.

"Now the division headquarters can only mobilize 800 mules and horses, and the rest must stay in the army to transport weapons and equipment. According to the future development plan, the transportation brigade needs 5000 mules to ensure sufficient transportation capacity."

"Moreover, the corresponding veterinarians, feed cultivation are far from ready"

"Therefore, each regiment collects more mules and horses after returning to the camp, and pays more attention to veterinary personnel. The transport brigade does not require high physical fitness of soldiers, but requires corresponding ability to control livestock. You can also go to various towns to buy mules and horses. Funds can be obtained from I get it here"

"As for the funding issue, Luo Yun Overseas Chinese supported me with more than 100 million oceans, so you don't need to worry about it"

In the past, the division had no money, and only a little money was scraped together to buy necessary materials such as grain and cotton. After all, survival is the top priority compared to development and growth.But now there is no shortage of food in the army, no shortage of cotton clothes, and no shortage of funds, so there is spare energy to develop and strengthen the army.

Having said that, the chief of staff deliberately looked at Brigadier Chen of the 344th brigade in the distance, with clear messages in his eyes.

The brigade commander nodded immediately, expressing his understanding.

He understood what the chief of staff meant, which meant asking him to come forward to buy a batch of high-quality mules and horses, which was not difficult for him, even a rather simple matter.His family has a lot of connections in the business world, and they are also very supportive of the Anti-Japanese War. As long as the funds are sufficient, mules and horses can have as much as they want.

However, the brigade commander was quite surprised. He did not expect the division to be so determined to form a transportation brigade of 4000 people at one time. Calculated by one person pulling a mule and horse, a good mule and horse can transport 150 kilograms of supplies Walking 4000 kilometers a day, 600 mules and horses can transport more than [-] tons of materials at one time, and since the transport brigade is established, the routes that mules and horses travel will inevitably be expanded, so as long as the situation permits, bring a cart, so that It can transport more than one thousand tons of materials at one time.

From Niuyagu, the material warehouse of the independent regiment, to the division camp, the distance between them is actually only about 2000 kilometers on the mountain road, and it can be walked once in less than half a month. Under safe conditions, this brigade can transport more than 1200 tons of materials every month. Even if the devil finds fault, the transportation brigade can guarantee the transportation of [-] tons of materials per month by taking the mountain trails.

So what can more than 1200 tons of materials do every month?
If it is all food, then the food is enough for 4 people to consume for a month. If it is all weapons and ammunition, then based on 60 mortar shells each weighing 1.4 kg, it is 84 shells.Converted into bullets, then he has more than 3000 million rounds of bullets.

"It seems that the master has a big plan for the future," the brigade commander sighed silently in his heart.

The information of the meeting was concise and clear. Half an hour later, all the heads of regiments walked out of the meeting room, leaving only the brigade commander and the chief of staff to discuss the specific details.

Outside the division headquarters, the regimental leaders formed groups in twos and threes, discussing privately.

"A brigade, transporting troops of 4000 people, the division commander is big enough"

"But is there really so much supplies in the Independent First Regiment? Need such a large transport team? Once this brigade is established, it can transport tens of thousands of tons of supplies a year."

A team battle is emotional, he is the head of the teaching group, responsible for training recruits.

"You don't know yet, it is said that there are still 10,000+ tons of grain waiting to be transported by the First Independent Regiment? It's just that they don't have enough transportation capacity, so they can only take it slowly," another regiment leader said.

"10,000+ tons..."

The head of the teaching group suddenly became horrified, his mouth was open, and he didn't know what to say for a while.As a farmer, he had never heard of such a large amount of grain in his life.

"10,000+ tons, we have enough for the whole army."

"More than that," one of the team leaders who had worked in logistics before interrupted.

"One of our soldiers only consumes a thousand catties of grain a year, and 10,000+ tons of grain can feed several 10 people for a year."

"..."

At the moment when the army is expanding, the heads of each regiment are very busy. After chatting a few words at the division gate, they hurried back to their regiment headquarters. There is still a lot of work waiting for them in the regiment. Do.

·······
Xiaowangzhuang, here is a guerrilla base.

"Xiao Chen"

The guerrilla captain, who had just returned from division headquarters, shouted to his guards.

"Your brother is a veterinarian, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded. According to the news, he was the captain of the high-speed team a long time ago, and his elder brother was injured a long time ago, and his legs and feet are not good, otherwise he would have joined the army long ago.

"Recently, the division headquarters is forming a mule and horse transport team. You can tell your brother that there are a lot of veterinarians there. If you can, you can go there. Of course, the treatment is the same as other soldiers. Three meals are provided, and there are also veterinarians. Distributing food to the family," the guerrilla captain said, he knew that Xiao Chen's family was suffering, and there were still several children to support.

After the division headquarters has enough food, everyone who joins the army will distribute a part of the food appropriately.

"Is there any problem with my brother's leg?" Xiao Chen said hesitantly. Because of his leg injury, it was very inconvenient for his brother to walk.

"It's okay, I mainly take care of the mules and horses in the base area." The guerrilla captain waved his hand indifferently.

"Okay, my brother will be very happy to hear that, he seems to have joined the Eighth Route Army a long time ago," Xiao Chen immediately replied happily.Since the arrival of the Eighth Route Army, several tyrants and landlords have been attacked, and some land has been allocated to their families. Life is much better now than in the past.

And outside the wall of their room, one ear was sticking to the wall, listening carefully to the sounds inside the room, while muttering silently.

"A large number of veterinarians? Distributing food?"
