Anti-Japanese War: You drove me away, and now you want me to rescue you?

"Captain!"

Yang Zhihua said excitedly: "You are really amazing. You got seven more howitzers!"

At this time, the backbones of the camp all came to the back mountain.

I saw that a convoy had been parked in the distance for a long time, and the brand-new M1 75mm howitzers were parked behind each car.

There were seven in total.

Almost in an instant.

Everyone's eyes became extremely hot.

Although they had captured a lot of artillery in the previous battles, this powerful and long-range howitzer still left a strong impression on them.

"This is really great!"

Chen Feng was also surprised at this time, and said hurriedly: "These howitzers were very useful when attacking Laiyang County before. Now with these seven, we have eleven!"

Everyone looked at Lu Zhixian with great admiration.

Even Zhou Weiguo, who had just arrived, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Captain! These are real treasures. I didn't expect you to have such a channel!"

This was the system reward for the previous battle in Laiyang County.

Of course, Lu Zhixian would not say this, so he smiled and said: "My family has some assets in Southeast Asia. The elders in my family have always purchased various combat supplies overseas. Now these are all transported in through secret channels."

"So that's it."

Zhou Weiguo was slightly relieved.

The rest of the people present had known about this for a long time, and now they are naturally not surprised.

"Captain!"

Han Shaogong said with a happy face: "Our Anti-Japanese War Regiment now has eleven howitzers alone, and a large number of Type 92 infantry guns and Type 94 mountain guns. If we add the more than forty mortars of various types, this firepower is enough to crush ordinary combat divisions."

Everyone was excited when this was said.

Not to mention ordinary combat divisions.

Even the Central Ace Division at the time probably didn't have such firepower!

"Captain!"

Yang Zhihua suddenly laughed and said, "You see, these howitzers must be added to my artillery battalion. Although my artillery battalion has just added a batch of new recruits recently, the organization is not enough to fully operate these artillery. Otherwise, all the new recruits will be given priority by our artillery battalion next time?"

"No! No!"

"How can this be done? The artillery is always given priority, so what about our assault battalion?"

"That's right! Aren't those new recruits just selected by your artillery? Besides, my second battalion is not yet fully staffed?"

"..."

In just a moment, everyone around raised objections.

"Why is this not okay?!"

Yang Zhihua got anxious when he heard this, and he frowned: "You are all benefiting from the improvement of my artillery battalion's combat power. Besides, can you handle these howitzers?"

"Humph!"

Han Shaogong was unhappy at first: "Who said my assault battalion is not okay? As long as the regiment commander replenishes us, our assault battalion does not need additional staffing!"

"Yes, yes! Our second battalion does not need additional staffing!"

"Our cavalry battalion is also okay!"

"Get lost! Why are you cavalry battalion joining in the fun!"

"..."

Everyone was shouting there.

"That's enough!"

Lu Zhixian smiled and waved his hand.

In fact, Yang Zhihua's statement is not completely unreasonable.

To operate this kind of artillery, at least six people are usually needed. If various supplies and transportation are added, the number of people is often more. These howitzers alone require at least nearly a hundred people, not to mention a large number of Type 924, Type 94 and various mortars.

Even though the Black Cloud Village is now transporting by truck, which greatly reduces the organization of the artillery battalion, it still takes at least six or seven hundred people to fully operate these artillery pieces!

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Don't argue, howitzers like this will naturally be handed over to the artillery battalion."

"Thank you, commander!"

Yang Zhihua's face was immediately full of excitement.

Lu Zhixian waved his hand and smiled, "But the organization of the artillery battalion does need to be changed."

...

Afternoon.

Parade ground.

Except for a small number of sentries patrolling the surroundings, almost all the soldiers gathered here.

"Everyone!"

Standing on the rostrum, Lu Zhixian swept his eyes over everyone present and said solemnly: "I called you here today because I have three things to announce:"

"First, the Anti-Japanese War Corps will adjust its organization. In addition to the original battalions continuing to adopt standard combat battalions, the artillery battalion will be split into two, namely the heavy artillery battalion and the light artillery battalion; the heavy artillery battalion is mainly composed of howitzers, infantry artillery, mountain artillery, etc., and is led by Yang Zhihua, while the light artillery battalion is mainly composed of various types of mortars, and the chief officer is temporarily vacant."

As soon as these words came out.

Almost everyone present was excited.Heavy artillery battalion!

Light artillery battalion.

No one expected that their anti-Japanese regiment would actually form two artillery battalions?

Not to mention the soldiers below, even Zhou Weiguo and others who had already learned of this decision had different expressions at this time.

Regimental unit.

Two artillery battalions!

This has almost never been seen before!

You must know that ordinary combat regiments can only form a direct artillery company at most, and only slightly stronger reinforced regiments will have their own artillery battalions, and this is already the ceiling configuration, and this so-called artillery battalion is almost a mixture of various types of artillery, and it is impossible to form a real heavy artillery regiment.

But now?

They are actually going to form their own heavy artillery regiment!

Isn’t this too much? !

"Everyone!"

Lu Zhixian smiled slightly and said, "I know that the various howitzers and infantry guns we have now are not really large-caliber heavy artillery in the strict sense, but since there are too many artillery pieces, at least we should build up the foundation of the heavy artillery battalion first. I believe that after the establishment of the two artillery battalions, the combat effectiveness of our regiment will definitely be improved!"

"The commander is wise!"

"The commander is wise!"

"..."

Everyone was indescribably excited.

Even Yang Zhihua straightened his chest slightly.

Heavy artillery!

This is definitely a lifelong dream for artillerymen.

Thinking that he can operate various large-caliber and super-powerful heavy artillery in the future, he, who was not in a high mood at first, became excited.

"Second!"

At this time, Lu Zhixian slightly pressed his hand and said loudly again: "Originally, except for the two basic mortars, the artillery of each infantry battalion was uniformly collected and used by the artillery battalion; now that the number of artillery in our regiment is sufficient, various artillery will be returned to each infantry battalion as its support weapon to enhance its own combat effectiveness!"

"Great!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Feng, Wu Baili, Han Shaogong and others were all excited.

You know, although the firepower of their infantry battalions was extremely fierce in the past, all the support tasks of facing the enemy head-on were undertaken by the artillery battalion, making each battalion almost have no sense of existence.

This has long caused dissatisfaction among many infantry battalions.

Now that they can have their own exclusive artillery team, they will be able to carry out combat missions independently in the future.
