Chapter 11 The Present Situation of the Independent Regiment

"The next batch of weapons and ammunition transport teams will come back, and this time the supplies are 400,000 rounds of 6.5mm rifle cartridges and 1,020 38 caps, and these weapons are all high-quality goods produced by overseas Chinese Luoyun's own factory."

"1,020 38 large covers weigh 10 tons, and 500,000 rounds of rifle ammunition also weigh 10 tons, so we need to pay 20 veterans of the 1st Independent Regiment"

The chief of staff looked down at the form in his hand and spoke with a self-conscious demeanor.

Then the chief of staff suddenly raised his head and looked at the division commander and the brigade commander.

"The 29th Division is currently in the southeast of Jinjin, and the closest distance from us is more than 200 kilometers, and I have telegraphed with the chief of staff of the other side."

"The price has been agreed, we will provide the 29th Division with 1,000 38 large caps and 400,000 6.5 caliber rifle cartridges, plus 10 Czech and 30,000 rounds of 7.92mm Mauser rifle cartridges, and they will provide us with 600 veterans, and in addition to the 20 that need to be transferred to the 1st Independent Regiment, we will be able to get 580 veterans."

"These soldiers have several years of combat experience and are qualified for the position of junior officer"

"But everyone is a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, and considering the friendship between comrades-in-arms, we will give 29 mortars and 2000 shells of the 60th Division"

The Chief of Staff's words were calm and unwavering, like the narration of the film.

"Hey, it's ruthless enough" But these words without emotion made the brigade commander feel a pimple and tremble subconsciously.

10 Czech and 30,000 rounds of 7.92 Mauser rifle cartridges weighed a total of 1.1 tons, and 2 60 mortars plus accessories weighed more than 100 kilograms. 2,000 mortar shells, each weighing 1.5KG including the transport wooden box, totaling 3.1 tons. Based on this calculation, the chief of staff exchanged 24.4 tons of weapons and ammunition for 600 veterans.

Excluding the 24 who needed to be allocated to the independent regiment, this business made 576 veterans, dozens of times the price difference between the middlemen, and the three parties to the business were very satisfied.

The Jinchaji Detachment of the 119th Division, that is, the 344th Brigade, made a lot of money through middlemen, filling the lack of grassroots officers brought about by the great expansion. The 29th Division relied on the backbone of veterans of the fraternal units to exchange a large amount of weapons and ammunition that were urgently needed, greatly improving the combat effectiveness of the troops, and effectively reducing combat consumption. The independent regiment has effectively completed the task of supporting the weapons and ammunition of the division headquarters, and has also received a lot of veteran backbones, as for the consumption of dozens of tons of materials, with the follow-up assistance of the Luo Yun brothers, they don't care.

"Worthy of being a person who can do big business"

According to the chief of staff used to be a big businessman, it seems that this report is very credible, the brigade commander thought leisurely.

······

The core area of the independent group base area is Pinggu Town, Dazhuang Village, Tutuo Village, and the surrounding area of Niuya Valley.

The four companies of the first battalion were stationed in Pinggu Town, and with the help of the dangerous terrain around Pinggu Town, they were the first line of defense for the regiment headquarters.

The four companies of the 2nd Battalion were stationed in Niuya Valley, guarding the material warehouse, and at the same time building bunkers and bunkers around Niuya Valley to prepare for possible future attacks by devils.

The 1st and 2nd companies of the 3rd Battalion are the second line of defense of the regimental headquarters, and the 3rd and 4th companies of the 3rd Battalion and the artillery company are stationed at the regimental headquarters to garrison the regimental headquarters and assist the transport team in transporting supplies.

The regimental guard platoon, logistics and transportation brigade, and communications squad were stationed in Tutuo Village.

······

After the ambush in November last year, the number of fighters in the 1st Independent Regiment was once less than 1,000, but now, after more than two months of large-scale military expansion, with the support of more than 300 veterans from the division headquarters, the regiment now has three battalions, 13 companies, a total of more than 2,100 combat units, and more than 600 transport units.

"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-one"

"Hurry up, run for me, haven't you eaten, if you want to eat canned beef at night, run for me, the first twenty of the 150 soldiers of the whole company will reach the end of the meat tube, and the last twenty will not want to eat a piece of meat"

"Keep your eyes forward, look in the direction of your attack, and at the same time pay attention to your feet, and give the side to your comrades"

"Bend my waist for me, raise my ass, lower my head than my ass, hold the gun well, this is your only weapon, the devil won't give you time to clean up when you get into the sand"

"Don't run a straight line, that's the target of the devil, run a curve, what is a curve? It's just running around the bend."

"Leap forward, what is a leap forward, keep up with your squad leader, you can run as much as he wants"

The cold winter wind in the north is biting, and from time to time it is mixed with several consecutive goose feathers and heavy snow, this qi outing activity requires a lot of physical energy, but at this time, it is a hot training scene on the independent group of various stations.

With the company as a unit, each company commander organizes the training of recruits on their own to prepare for the upcoming battle.

A large number of recruits naturally need a lot of training, although the surrounding masses enthusiastically join the army, but passion can only be passion, and the devil's real knife and real gun need to fight the will and combat ability, the will needs to be cultivated, the combat ability needs to be trained, from putting down the hoe to the gun that can be carried This process requires at least three months of hard training.

"Damn, it's flying pretty high"

Looking at the Japanese reconnaissance plane circling in a circle, he scolded with a Czech-style Grand Master Zhang.

"At least more than 700 meters above the ground, this distance is impossible to hit the Czechs, even the large-caliber heavy machine gun brought by the Luo Yun brothers is very difficult, unless more than five form a firepower network"

Holding his thumb to measure the distance for a moment, Zhang Nuo said in a casual tone.

He didn't care about the devil's plane, it was just a devil's reconnaissance plane, and the weapon was only 2 light machine guns, which was not very aggressive, and the devils stationed here in the independent regiment had already been clear for a long time, so the independent regiment was too lazy to hide now. Only Grand Master Zhang was panicked, holding a Czech-style scolding and scolding, and he was addicted to it.

Of course, this plane can also strafe an independent group that is training at a low altitude, but this kind of strafing is not what Zhang Promise can ask for.

The two 7.7-millimeter machine guns on the reconnaissance plane are not very powerful and have a short firing range, and if they want to accurately strafe them, they need the plane to fly in an airspace about 300 meters above the ground, but this is a mountainous area, surrounded by undulating peaks, and the drop between the peaks is as high as several hundred meters, and the independent regiment is stationed on the hillside, and the devil plane is afraid that it will crash into the mountain and commit suicide before it can pull up after a round of strafing.

The devil pilot is naturally clear, so he just honestly scouts the flight school at a safe altitude

"But I'm afraid time is running out"

Putting down the Czech style and looking at the reconnaissance plane in the distance, Commander Zhang said in a solemn tone.

"Well, these devils' aerial reconnaissance is becoming more and more frequent, and they must be planning to do something to us" Zhang Nuoyan understood the meaning of the regiment commander's words. Not long ago, there was a brigade of devils in Wanping City, and now they are still stationed in Wanping City, combined with the intensive aircraft reconnaissance in this recent period, the devils of this brigade must be the revenge of the destruction of the devil brigade last time.

And the Luo Yun brothers have already passed, and that force has left, so if they can't find the main enemy, this devil brigade must not mind destroying the independent group out of anger.
