Chapter 314: Prepare for War
Live-fire target training was a relatively common thing for later generations of troops. But for the anti-war forces at this moment, few troops do this. Similar to the training plan formulated by Hu Biao, I am afraid that many troops will be envious and jealous when it is spread.
Coupled with the recruit company composed of rescued young soldiers, Hu Biao's subordinates in Zaozhuang amounted to more than 1,000 people. Three rounds of live ammunition on target require at least tens of thousands of bullets. Such consumption is enough for some troops to fight a large-scale battle.
But in Hu Biao's view, live-fire target training is very necessary. Even the rescued prisoners of war mostly had actual combat experience. However, the weapons they used before were still very different from the all-Japanese weapons they are equipped with today.
In order for a soldier to get the most out of his weapon, he must be familiar with and understand the firearm he uses. Fifteen bullets per person, sounds like a bit extravagant. But when he went to the battlefield, he could reduce a lot of unnecessary losses for Hu Biao.
According to the first-shot hit rate that Hu Biao has always advocated, as long as the live-fire target training can increase the first-shot hit rate of the soldiers by two to three percent, then more little devils can be killed and the safety of the soldiers in the actual combat process can be ensured.
Fighters who have had actual combat experience know that it is impossible to give them such a chance to shoot targets with live ammunition if they were replaced by those petty commanders in the past. Even some officers would rather sell their bullets for money than give them to the soldiers under their command.
In the eyes of some officers who only want to get promoted and make a fortune, the lives of soldiers are not worth anything at all. No matter how much the soldiers sacrifice, as long as they have money, they can recruit or even forcibly recruit more young and strong soldiers. Bullets, on the other hand, are very precious.
It is precisely because the prisoners of war have been on the battlefield and know the importance of good marksmanship that these prisoners of war also cherish such opportunities to shoot targets with live ammunition. For the training plan arranged by Hu Biao, many prisoners of war will implement it unconditionally.
Having been on the battlefield, they all knew that the ultimate purpose of these training plans was to get them back alive. Even if it is not for others, even in order to keep themselves alive, these prisoners of war who have suffered defeats will work hard to train and improve themselves.
As the spy company sent a squad to each combat company for training, many prisoners of war realized that their peaceful lives were about to be shattered. If they want to survive, they must train harder to improve their chances of survival on the battlefield.
The soldiers of the special service companies who arrived at the combat companies also set an example to demonstrate combat skills to these prisoners of war. During daily physical training, even if no one asks them to, these fighters are still less than twice as strong as the fighters of the combat company.
At the end of the training, some prisoners of war asked curiously: "You are already very good, why do you have to train so hard?" ”
"Isn't it amazing? That's because you haven't seen anyone really good! We train hard and just want not to hold the team back. Because the detachment commander's request to us is to hope that we will be one against one hundred, and now we can't do it! ”
"With one against a hundred, is this still human?"
Many prisoners of war felt that it was impossible for the soldiers of the special service company to say what they said, but the soldiers of the special service company still said: "We didn't believe it before, but the detachment commander has such ability." You think we're good, but it's the captain who is really good.
We just joined the team last year, and we're about the same strength as you are now. But later, we saw how powerful the guard platoon was, so we trained desperately to join the guard platoon. And the guard platoon is the predecessor of the special service company.
At the beginning, the detachment commander led a guard platoon and cooperated with a garrison unit that voluntarily stayed in Jinling to block the attack of a Japanese division for several days and nights. Even to the end of the battle, the detachment commander killed the division commander and chief of staff of the little devil.
If you want to learn real life-saving skills, train hard. Not surprisingly, after a while, the detachment leader should select some elite soldiers from various companies to expand the special service company. Joining the spy company, you can not only learn things, but also receive more military pay every month! ”
According to the rules and regulations formulated by Hu Biao earlier, the two detachments implemented a system of military pay and combat reward salary. This also means that the team with the most combat opportunities will also receive the most combat pay each month. And the spy company is undoubtedly such a team.
The soldiers of an ordinary combat company can receive two oceans of military pay every month. And the soldiers of the special service company are guaranteed to be five oceans of allowance. With the addition of battle bonuses, these warriors can receive more oceans every month.
It's a pity that if you want to join the spy company, you must first become the top soldier of each company. Because the spy company only selects elite soldiers, and even selects the strong ones from among the elite soldiers. Only the strongest dozens of fighters in the detachment are eligible to join the special service company.
Through the way that the soldiers of the special service company go to the company and assist in guiding the training, the special service company has also become a unit that many soldiers are eager to join. As a soldier and all young people, who wouldn't want to go to a stronger army and fight side by side with the strongest soldiers?
For a time, the training atmosphere of the company did not need to be urged by the company cadres at all, and many soldiers became proactive. In particular, the soldiers of the special service company were even more envious and admired when they saw the soldiers of the special service company, who fixed the target at 200 meters and hit the bull's-eye with their guns and guns.
When the troops were in full swing for training, Hu Biao took Xu Sandao to leave the camp from time to time and went to Zaozhuang to investigate the enemy's situation. Until the arrival of the combat detachment sent by the Qilu Column, Hu Biao also felt that the combat opportunity was basically ripe.
During this time, Hu Biao, who had been paying attention to the actions of the Japanese army, knew very well that the little devil had just finished repairing the blened railway. Rail transport, which had been interrupted earlier, will soon be resumed.
During the time when the railway was interrupted, the little devils in Zaozhuang City also became very busy. In order to ensure the supply of materials for the front-line troops, the little devils stationed in Zaozhuang did not even bother to repair the coal mines that were blown up.
Perhaps the little devil also knows that it will take longer to repair those coal mines that have been blown up. Coal mining, as important as it is, is undoubtedly more important than supplying the front-line troops.
The company commander, who was again summoned to a meeting at the headquarters of the detachment, also knew that this meeting should have a combat mission. The intensive training during this period of time also made many company commanders feel that the combat effectiveness of the company should have improved a lot compared with before.
But how much it has improved can only be known after it has been pulled to the battlefield. In military training and warfare, mules and horses must always be pulled and yo-yo. Now Hu Biao has summoned them over, thinking that he is preparing to pull the troops out to fight.
Looking at the expectant warrior, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "Wait, are you in a hurry?" During this period, the training atmosphere of the unit was good, and I also saw the results of live ammunition target shooting, and the companies still made progress on the whole, which is worthy of praise! ”
"It's all thanks to the training team!"
The so-called supervision and training team is the combat squad of the special service company dispatched to each company. During the period of training under the guidance of the lower company, many soldiers also learned a lot of tactical actions on the battlefield how to effectively avoid bullets.
In addition, the offensive and defensive tactics of the squad and squad have made many officers see that they have learned very seriously. As commanders, they know very well that these tactics, if used well, can effectively enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops and enable them to win more battles.
After talking about the training of the troops, Hu Biao also said in a timely manner: "Starting tonight, all companies will finish their training and start resting during the day tomorrow." I will inform the companies later to come and collect the ammunition, and I will let you know when it will be time to leave.
When you go back, tell the soldiers of the company to be ready for battle. This time, we are afraid that we will have to stay outside the mountains for a while. Give you a day to prepare three days' rations for the troops, no problem, right? ”
In the face of Hu Biao's inquiry, the company commanders of each company got up and said, "Report to the captain, no problem!" ”
"Good! I will make a specific announcement of the specific battle plan when each company leaves for the mountain. What I'm trying to say is that some of you may have to leave after this battle. I'll announce where I'm going to go later.
What I can tell you now is that before you leave, follow me to give the little devil another big gift. Through this battle, tell everyone and the little devils that you are not losers but avengers, remember? ”
"Remember!"
"Lao Qian and Lao Xu stay, and you company commanders and Lao Qin will go to the logistics office to get ammunition and food! The meat and canned food that will be distributed to you later will be all made into food tomorrow for the soldiers to eat before they go on the expedition! ”
"Yes, Captain!"
During the period of intensive training in the mountains, the food standards of each company were not bad. Although it is not as good as the food when I first entered the mountain, I have enough staple esophagus, and there is a lot of oil and water in the food. With such a food supply, many fighters felt that their bodies were starting to grow meat.
Having a good meal before going on the expedition is also very necessary in Hu Biao's opinion. If this battle plan goes well, the materials consumed during this time will also be quickly earned. Even for a long time, the detachment did not have to worry about a shortage of supplies.
Hu Biao, who left Xu Sandao and Qian Zhong, finished talking about the battle plan he had formulated. After listening to Hu Biao's battle plan, Qian Zhong said with a surprised face: "Captain, are we going to fight Zaozhuang?" There are more than 1,000 little devils stationed in Zaozhuang? ”
"The information was scouted by me, and I naturally know how many little devils there are in the city. Don't worry, since I dare to do this, I must be sure of it. By the way, we also have reinforcements for this battle, and they will stop the enemy from reinforcing us at that time.
As long as we act quickly, we will definitely be able to completely empty the entire Zaozhuang City before the arrival of the little devil's reinforcements. You should know that Zaozhuang is a county town that the Japanese army focuses on defending, and there are a lot of materials stored in the city.
If we can snatch the supplies, weapons and ammunition they have stored in the city, even if the size of our troops is doubled, it will not be a problem at all. If you have guns and supplies, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit soldiers? ”
"Yes, Captain! I know! ”
Seeing that Hu Biao was so confident, Qian Zhong didn't say anything more. revealed the battle plan to Qian Zhong, and also hoped that he would be mentally prepared. After going down, let him first blow the wind to the company commanders of each company.
But about the more specific battle plan and arrangement, Hu Biao still didn't tell Qian Zhong. It's not that you can't trust Qian Zhong, but to make sure that nothing goes wrong. When the troops are lurking in place, even if some people are worried, they can only fight with all their might!
