Chapter 287: Suppression of Bandits and Weapons and Equipment
Zhao Cheng really wanted to suppress the bandits, and when he saw Li Huan come back, the whole person seemed to have a backbone, although the captain was a little kid, he was still very assertive.
"Platoon Commander, you're finally back!"
Zhao Cheng is almost dead now, everything in the entire platoon falls on him alone, and it is not good to have Hu Bazi to help, let alone wipe the butts of these old fritters of Huang Qiu, and the days are simply unbearable.
"Okay, I just heard Huang Qiu's dog say that you want to suppress bandits, can you tell me the specific situation?"
Li Huan unconsciously lit a cigarette at this time, he didn't expect to fight when he came back, fortunately he was fighting bandits, and it might be a little troublesome to change the devil.
Here's the thing, there is a group of bandits near Chen Village who have often come down the mountain to rob recently, which has given the people a headache, so they found the Eighth Route Army.
These bandits are very hateful, they have war horses, rifles, machine guns, and even submachine guns, and they burn, kill, and loot in the vicinity.
Recently, there have been several incidents of massacres of civilians, which are of an extremely bad nature, so the regimental headquarters ordered them to assist the cavalry company in exterminating these bandits.
"How many of these bandits are there?" After Li Huan listened, he asked Zhao Cheng on the side.
"There are about 130 people, occupying a small hill less than 20 miles east of us, I heard that it seems to have been recruited by the Japanese recently, but I don't know why I didn't put on a pseudo-military skin!"
Zhao Cheng got a lot of news, but Li Huan always had some doubts, it stands to reason that the bandits should not go to the city to collect protection money after accepting Zhao'an, why are they still staying in the mountains, and they are reluctant to Juyitang's two melons and jujubes?
"Okay, send a report to the regiment headquarters immediately, saying that I am back, and I will cooperate with the cavalry company to carry out the task of suppressing bandits immediately!"
"Sending a report?" Zhao Cheng's head is a bit big, and because no one can use the radio station they seized, they either handed it over or put it in the warehouse to eat ashes.
Originally, there was Li Huan's two knives in the army, and he could occasionally fiddle with them twice, but since Li Huan left, who the would use that thing!
Li Huan smiled on his face at this time, and then shouted towards the door:
"Huang Yuqi, come in!"
Soon a girl walked in, she was Huang Yuqi, she seemed to have made some telegraph station in her house before, and she would fiddle with the radio station since she was a child, Li Huan directly asked her to act as a dispatcher.
"Let me introduce, this is Huang Yuqi, and she will be the dispatcher of our communication group in the future."
said that Huang Yuqi also saluted in a fake way:
"Hello comrades, I'm Huang Yuqi, I think you will take care of it in the future!"
"Definitely, definitely!" A group of people thought it was eye-catching when they saw the girl, and they didn't know where the platoon commander got it back.
"By the way, there are a few new comrades outside, let's all get to know each other!"
As he spoke, he called Zhao Yiyi and the others in.
"This is Zhao Yiyi, who is now a senior district official of the county squad and the leader of the later stage of our guerrilla team, and will help Lao Zhao share some tasks in the future!
This is ......"
"No, no, I didn't understand what you said so much, platoon commander, aren't we an authentic platoon, why are we guerrillas again? Also, where did the district team in Yang County come from? ”
Li Huan knew that the order hadn't come yet, which strengthened his idea of driving the radio, otherwise if the communication was all on his legs, it would be easy to eat cold shit in a war.
"That's the case, our platoon is temporarily reorganized into a guerrilla force, or is it under the leadership of the first regiment, I am the captain, no accident you should be the instructor, of course it is the acting, it is estimated that there will be a period of time for the specific person to be sent down as the instructor!
In addition, although there is no district team, Comrade Zhao Yiyi is here to establish the district team, oh I forgot to say, the captain of the district team is also me!
Do you understand? ”
After saying too much at once, Li Huan hurriedly took out a bottle of happy water and poured it, and then hiccuped with satisfaction!
A group of people understood, but they were still a little confused, and they didn't know what their superiors were trying to do!
After a group of people got acquainted with it, Li Huan set up the radio station, and then prepared to go and see those weapons and equipment!
"Platoon...... Captain, the equipment sent by the division headquarters hasn't been moved yet, when do you think we're going to send the guns down? There are more than 50 more people in the army during this time, and it really can't be done without guns! ”
"Why did you recruit so many people?" Li Huan frowned, too many people are not necessarily a good thing, and the uneven level of combat effectiveness can easily lead to a serious decline in the overall combat power.
"Which one was recruited by me, they came by themselves, and I eliminated two-thirds of them, all of them were nearby people, and the rest of us are not easy to refuse."
Zhao Cheng is also a little hard, too many people are not necessarily a good thing, management is a big trouble, and there is an extreme lack of grassroots commanders, many squads now have more than 30 people, and the squad leaders are about to become platoon leaders.
"Leave this matter to me, and in a few days I will get you some veterans to serve as squad leaders!"
"That's a good feeling!" Zhao Cheng didn't care what Li Huan did, anyway, he believed that this little kid had a way.
Soon the two of them walked to the warehouse, which was a large tunnel, and now there were a lot of boxes piled up here.
Li Huan knocked open a box, then took out a Chuntian rifle from it, wiped the oil on it, pulled the bolt, and found that it was still a new gun, and his mood was much better.
"This is an American Springfield rifle, there should be a hundred, the performance is good, stronger than the devil's 38 big cover, but it is not suitable for bayonets!"
Immediately after that, Li Huan looked at a few more boxes, and took out a Ying Qiqi from it, this gun is known as the Li Enfield rifle, and it is not that particularly old style, the 7.7mmx56 R rifle cartridge used, the most important thing is that this broken gun can hold ten rounds of ammunition at a time, which is twice as much as other bolt-action rifles.
There are four left, the Bren light machine gun, this machine gun is common to the British 77 rifle cartridge, the key can also be used as a general-purpose machine gun, it can be installed on the shelf, and the thirty-round magazine is fed, which looks similar to the Czech type, but the principle is a little different.
"Now that you have four light machine guns, you can throw those crooked handles away, and if you fight it, you should have thrown it in the pit to feed the!"
Li Huan put down the machine gun and scolded, Zhao Cheng on the side had a very strange face, it's good to have a machine gun, who would pick it.
Although the performance of the crooked handle is not very good, it is better than nothing, and there are still a lot of troops rushing to get it when it is thrown out.
Shui Lianzhu Li Huan didn't want it at all, although the performance of that thing was good, but the simple and rough personality made people have a headache, and the bolt and the shell had to be hammered, otherwise it might not be able to move, and it was not suitable for their Eighth Route Army.
Especially the Eighth Route Army has very few bullets per capita, and in the absence of training, they can't play with water and beads, and only Lao Maozi can play with this rifle.
The rest is simple, ten Thomson, ten Bobosha! And four Browning light machine guns!
The remaining rifles are powerful, they are fifty Garand and fifty M1 carbines, all of which are semi-automatic, which are very suitable for war.
