Chapter 57: Equipment in hand, let's go!
The ring-headed knife that the army lieutenant general spent a lot of money to build was already on Liu Lang's back, and Chi Dakui naturally became the deputy captain of the "death squad".
That's not all, Major Chi's two shell guns are not counted in the 230 shell guns, and the soldiers of the guard platoon have to pinch their noses and give 5 magazines on their bodies to their deputy battalion commanders, plus four grenades.
The reason for Lang Fat is very simple, you can't just come to people, this equipment has to be counted separately.
The lieutenant generals of the army, who had almost been accustomed to blackmail, had no strength to settle accounts with this goods, so they stood on the stone and said a few words of encouragement to the "death squad" who were about to rush to the distant battlefield.
All the equipment was distributed to everyone according to the plan formulated by Liu Lang, and now the death squad has a total of 220 people, except for Liu Lang and Chi Dakui, the two main and deputy captains, and the basic equipment is that each person is a shell gun with 4 magazines plus 80 rounds of ammunition, a ring-headed broadsword, four grenades, a military kettle filled with water, and a food bag containing four days' rations.
The rations were specially explained by Liu Lang to the cooking class directly under the brigade headquarters last night, and the fried rice and fried noodles used were mixed, all of which were cooked, and they could be eaten by soaking in hot water, and if there was no hot water, they could barely swallow it with cold water, although there was no taste at all, but it could basically ensure the energy needed by the human body.
But this is only the basic equipment for everyone, in addition to the different equipment that they carry according to the division of labor.
There were 40 sergeants with more than four years of service who had been in the army with a certain accuracy in rifle shooting and 100 rounds of rifle ammunition, and 45 soldiers with a little younger military age were assigned a Bergman submachine gun and five 20-round magazines.
Six light machine gun fire teams were set up, with 12 soldiers with experience in light machine gun shooting as the main and secondary marksmen, and a slightly younger soldier to help them carry 400 rounds of ammunition and assist them in carrying Czech light machine guns.
There are 9 grenadier groups, each with 2 people, one with a grenadier carrying a grenadier and one with a co-shooter carrying a grenade.
The 30 explosive packs belonged to 30 demomen, each carrying one on their backs. Nine other soldiers were armed with twin guns and carried some of the pickaxes and shovels used by sappers.
Is the "death squad" going to engage in a sneak attack, and to run away with a dull stick against the Japanese army, and not to engage in offensive and defensive warfare with them?
However, although Liu Lang's request for these equipment made people a little speechless, Zhao Dengyu still met Liu Lang's request.
After all, this is also a precautionary measure, war is not a written script, anything can happen.
Liu Lang knew a battle example, and it belonged to the Japanese, they also formed an elite to play sneak attack, and it was deep into the hinterland of the red army, although the sneak attack was not very successful, but it was a success in angering the commander of the red army.
The future Marshal of the Republic mustered the superior forces of thousands to surround the daring Japanese army, but fought a battle that would make it difficult for him for decades to come.
Both China and Japan suffered heavy casualties, but they did not completely annihilate the Japanese invaders as he expected, and the main reason was naturally because the red troops lacked artillery, if there was artillery, let alone hundreds of Japanese invaders, it was two or three thousand, and with the fighting spirit of the red troops, they could also bury all of them in the towering Taihang.
But artillery did not mean that there was no artillery on that day, but it was lacking for a long time, and it was their skillful fortification digging ability that could withstand the attack without allowing the elite of the red troops to break through the defensive line. Not only did they have strong enough skills, but they also carried tools, which was the internal reason why they escaped nearly a hundred people by luck.
It's the details that make or break the difference.
Although he is a little butterfly from the future, he has a complete insight into the direction of history, and even knows that the Japanese will put the artillery in that general direction, just like playing a game map is already clear, but Liu Lang will never underestimate his opponent because of this.
The Japanese army is even more cunning and powerful than Liu Lang imagined. The Chinese ancestors also paid more than in the history books.
He prefers to be a little more prepared.
More than 100 people have their own basic equipment and task equipment, with an average weight of more than 25 kilograms, and the remaining dozens of people, naturally, can not be idle, they are responsible for carrying ammunition, enough ammunition, grenades and bullets for rifles, machine guns, and submachine guns.
As for the bullets of the barge gun, the Chinese are much smarter than the Westerners, and when copycat the Bockman submachine gun and the twenty-shot barge gun, many arsenals have changed the caliber of these two firepower suppressive weapons that are widely used in China to the same.
Between the two, it can be used interchangeably.
For this reason, the Brigade of Major General, who was responsible for seeing off the "death squads," had to temporarily reduce the ammunition supply to the two infantry regiments under his command, giving nearly 20,000 rounds of ammunition of various types and hundreds of grenades to the "death squads."
Don't look at the small number of "death squads", it is only the strength of a reinforced company, but in terms of light firepower and ammunition, it is definitely more than half an infantry regiment.
The 45 Bergman submachine guns alone can spew out hundreds of rounds in one second, and a Japanese infantry squadron would need at least five seconds or more to achieve such a firepower value.
It can be said that Liu Lang took advantage of the existing conditions to build this small "death squad" into a "U.S. Weapons Company" in the early thirties.
For the sake of convenient management, the "death squad" was divided into four parts, three squads and a team site directly under the command of Liu Lang.
Each of the three squads has 60 men, with 10 submachine gun soldiers, 10 riflemen, 10 demolitionists, 18 other soldiers, 2 light machine gun teams and 3 grenadier groups.
The deputy squad leader was served by a senior sergeant, and the old monkey was directly named by Liu Lang as the vice captain of the 3rd squad because he showed his face in front of Liu Lang before. Liu Jinzuo became the deputy of the 2nd squad, and the deputy of the 1st squad was He Datou, although this thing wanted to stay by Liu Lang's side, Liu Lang finally felt that he should learn to command more than one squad of soldiers.
Zhen Dazhuang and Mo Xiaomei, naturally, stayed by Liu Lang's side and became his personal guards, both of whom hung double guns. The other 28 men, with a total of 15 submachine guns and 10 rifles, and 3 soldiers with two guns, were commanded by Chi Dakui.
Although the team headquarters is only 32 people, the firepower of these 32 people is not much weaker than the firepower of the squad that is twice as large as the number of them, and that is also the strength of Liu Lang to press the bottom of the box.
However, before leaving, Liu Lang received another gift.
The master of the division, who had already thrown his hands away, actually sent another radio station to the "death squad", which originally belonged to the regimental headquarters of the 218th regiment, and was assigned to the company-level unit of the "death squad."
Looking at Mo Xuanqing, who was excited to report to him with the radio on his back, Liu Lang's head hurt.
Zhen Dazhuang and Mo Xiaomei, the two of them, could only become Second Lieutenant Mo's personal bodyguards after serving as Liu Lang's guards for more than ten minutes, plus three other soldiers with double guns, including the sergeant named Su Huikai who came in from the communications platoon.
Liu Lang's requirement to them was to absolutely guarantee the safety of Second Lieutenant Mo and the radio station behind him no matter when and where.
Later, when the morning sun completely jumped over the mountain, the Japanese attack began again, and the sound of artillery resounded through the ancient Great Wall of China again, more than 200 officers and men in full armor quietly walked into the depths of the mountain in the morning light, under the eyes of the army major general and Ming Yu.
