1117. Reorganize the infantry company

You get what you pay for, and although the Thomson submachine gun is expensive, it is very durable, stable and reliable, and has great lethality.

As long as the enemy is hit by one of its large-caliber bullets, it is possible to immediately lose its combat capability, not to mention the bursts of bullets with an extremely fast rate of fire.

It is estimated that this kind of gun can be equipped with one platoon is already very good, because it is too expensive, more expensive than a Czech light machine gun, why buy it.

Later, when receiving new equipment, it was true that there was only one Thomson submachine gun in a platoon, and like candy, it was distributed to each company for a while, which did not play a very significant role.

This is still the change of equipment of elite troops, other troops can only hear about it, but they have never seen it, and give each platoon a handful, and it is also for everyone to familiarize themselves with and learn to use first, in case of large-scale equipment in the future, they can immediately start fighting.

In addition to guns, U.S. aid also has artillery, among which the M-2 type 60 mortar, which belongs to the middle between light and medium mortars, bamboo poles they care more about this kind of thing.

The M-2 Type 60 mortar, as the name suggests, has a caliber of 60 mm, its firing range is usually only more than 1,000 meters, and the rate of fire is also average, 30 rounds per minute, as if only the weight is relatively light, including the gun mount is less than 20 kg.

Such a small cannon is not very cold for bamboo poles, but it is better than nothing, and the key to American goods is that the leather is durable and durable.

Now, during the training period, Sangou has slightly reorganized the main infantry battalion according to the instructions above, adding a machine gun platoon to each infantry company.

This third battalion previously had a small artillery platoon, equipped with two light 50 mortars, and now it is necessary to add a heavy machine gun, whether it is a Min24 or a Soviet-style Makqin water machine gun.

In this way, this machine gun platoon is a smaller version of the machine gun company, and the number of people has also increased to four squads, two mortar squads, one heavy machine gun squad, and one ammunition delivery squad.

In addition to the platoon commander and deputy platoon commander, there are more than 50 people in four squads of a machine gun platoon, and an infantry company is almost 200 people, which is about the same as a squadron of the Japanese army.

There are three more such reinforced companies in the three battalions, and each reinforced infantry company has a reduced version of the machine gun company (machine gun platoon), so what do you need a machine gun company for?

It was suggested that the machine gun company could be abolished, but Sangou firmly disagreed, and he even wanted to reorganize the three battalions into two machine gun companies and two infantry companies, making a similar heavy infantry battalion.

But this is impossible to do at present, the pressure on the supply of ammunition is too great, but this time the US aid has a large truck, which is specially used to transport ammunition.

According to the establishment of the US military, automobile transportation is very common and necessary, and they really can't imagine that the Chinese army actually uses primitive manpower to transport ammunition, incredible, how can it keep up with the speed of ammunition consumption?

But they did not expect that the Chinese army has no air supremacy, and not all of these cars will become targets for aircraft when they run on the road, and all materials and ammunition will be turned into ashes.

Of course, the United States helped people to get home, and even thought of transporting ammunition, and sent a large number of cars, and the Chinese army was naturally not polite, it was better than nothing, the cars could be driven at night, and the planes could be turned off and hidden.

What's more, there are now 75 howitzers, 105 howitzers, and all kinds of communication equipment in the US aid, and these bulky and high-end items need to be transported by car.

As for the 75 and 105 howitzers, they are not something that the infantry like the three dogs learn, just know it, the main thing is that the artillerymen are tinkering.

……

After everyone had opened their eyes and had enough addiction, they fiddled with all kinds of U.S. aid weapons, took them back, and immediately distributed them and trained them in the right way.

Sangou also summoned officers above the platoon level, and together they corresponded to various weapons and the effects of matching with each other, and various combinations in various weather and terrain formed a set of mountain offensive and defensive tactics at the platoon level of an infantry company.

During this period, the third battalion has been stationed in the area of Sixi Town in Shanggao, and there is still some distance from Xiapiqiao, where the field hospital of the 51st Division is located.

Sixi is located at the junction of Shanggao and Gao'an, and belongs to the easternmost town of Shanggao, and the junction of Longtan and Huibu towns in Gao'an.

The Xiapiqiao is a village under the East Mirror Mountain in Shanggao City, and it is only a few miles into the city, so it is very convenient for Yang Muhua and them to go to the city, and they will make an appointment with a few sisters to follow the car purchased by the hospital into the city to buy something in Shanggao City.

And the three dogs and their three battalions want to go to the high city far away, and now in wartime, the soldiers have almost no holidays, and generally the special service chiefs (division chiefs) of each company go to the city to buy something.

And general vegetables, meat and fish, etc., can be bought in Sixi Town, after all, it takes dozens of miles to go to Gaocheng in Sixi.

If you don't have a car, you have to walk for at least half a day, and a day will pass back and forth, and you must stay in Shanggao for one night, but ordinary secret service chiefs can't spend the night outside, let alone soldiers.

The main reason is that the soldiers are afraid that the soldiers will cause trouble on the side of the villagers, and the villagers are actually okay, but they are still very afraid of the big-headed soldiers with weapons in their hands.

I heard that after a soldier robbed his fellow villagers last time, the county magistrate of Shanggao Huang directly went to General Luo Zhuoyin of the 19th Group Army Headquarters.

After General Luo asked the fellow to find out the soldier, he immediately dealt with it by military law, and after shooting a soldier, the garrisons in the entire area became honest and did not dare to move.

However, the battalion commanders and company commanders of the three dogs were also afraid that their soldiers would be stupid and unable to distinguish the form, and they would also sneak out to cause trouble, so they would be strictly guarded, and there were strict rules when they went out.

In order to see Yang Muhua, Sangou went to the division hospital under the banner of going to the division hospital, and the monks of the battalion health team would go together and bring back some conventional reserve medicines.

Although this seems very unfair, after all, they are married people, and many officers rent houses in the local area to support their families and soak outside all day.

After having a big truck with US aid, Sangou would sometimes take some officers, especially single officers, such as Xiucai Chen Yanxin, Wang Xinjia, Luo Xian and others, to have a friendship with the girls in the division hospital to see if they could solve their personal problems.

Yang Muhua's sisters, such as Lin Shuxian, Yan Shuhui, and Shen Qiujun, are all not young, although they are only in their early twenties, but back then, they were old girls.

And they have been stared at by those senior cadres of the division headquarters and even the military department, and they probe from time to time or something, but these girls don't know why, they don't look down on those senior cadres.

However, there were a few and the three battalions of the showman Chen Yanxin and Wang Xinjia looked at each other, which made Yang Muhua happy, and kept pulling bridges, taking advantage of the time when there was no war, to promote a few pairs as soon as possible.

Sangou is also very interested in this, after all, these brothers, especially the company commander, are quite old, except for the dog-legged Tienon Lao Li Tou who had a wife in his hometown before, the others are not there for the time being.
