Chapter 261: Building a Station
The troops marched along the established route, and with the attraction of "opening a big dish," the preparatory battalion drove all the way to the headquarters of the 27th Army peacefully, and the road was not far, and there was no situation along the road, except for some units that were reinforced to the front line in formation, there was no confusion.
Zhang Wei was quite happy about this, because there were no large numbers of scattered troops and chaotic phenomena, which showed that the combat organization of the national army was quite intact, and the officers and command headquarters at all levels were able to control the troops.
The military headquarters of the 27th Army is stationed in an abandoned village, there are many similar villages in eastern Henan, these villages, usually the people's residence, when there is a bandit and war, it can also be used as a fortification, so that the people can form a village to protect themselves and defend, Henan has been a serious place of bandits since ancient times, from ancient times to the present.
The people of all generations have developed the habit of building a village for defense, and the abandoned villages of various dynasties and generations are just the best choice for the troops to be stationed.
The command post of the 27th Army arrived here after moving forward, and together with the headquarters of the troops directly under the army and the assault column, they were all stationed near the village.
The person who answered told Zhang Wei that the madman Qiu asked him to arrange the troops first, and then went to the village to find the madman Qiu.
The places where they were stationed were also divided, also near the village, and a number of military tents were seconded from the military headquarters of the 27th Army.
After the preparatory battalion arrived, Zhang Wei first returned the combat defense artillery company that belonged to him to the assault column to the combat defense artillery battalion structure, and explained in detail to the commander of the combat defense artillery battalion the results and reasons for the destruction of an artillery, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to the commander of the combat defense artillery company.
"Twenty tents have been brought for you, and nails and tools have been prepared." The people who came to pick up the troops handed over the military tents borrowed from the 27th Army to Zhang Wei, and when the things were in hand, Zhang Wei immediately organized the troops to build a place to live.
"Qiu Wei Muchao, quickly bring someone to get things and set up a tent!"
"Zheng Yiqun, lead people to dig improvised fortifications at the station and level the camp!"
Zhang Wei commanded his officers to arrange the work of the station, and although the tent was a temporary residence, it was not easy to set up.
Zhang Wei and Qiu Wei and Mu Chao led people to move things, tents, poles, cloth and rivets, tents and accessories for more than 200 people, which is not a small number.
The tents distributed could accommodate a squad, a total of more than 30 tents, and the soldiers of the first and second companies carried the tents and accessories back to the station.
Zhang Wei asked Zheng Yiqun to build fortifications in the camp and level the land, which is something that the troops must dig in the camp.
The preparatory battalion is currently camped around the headquarters of the 27th Army, and the sides are full of troops, many of which are directly subordinate units of the 27th Army.
This place is actually very safe, but the camping fortifications still have to be dug, in the preparation camp this is the same rule for 10,000 years, everything is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if it is really attacked by the Japanese, the troops can still rely on these fortifications and the Japanese army around.
"Work harder, dig and level the land again."
"Qiu Wei, don't wait, tell the brothers to open the tent and take out the pole!"
"Yes!"
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he personally picked up a shovel and dug it up in the camping place, the land outside the village is full of potholes, and there are a lot of soil bags, if you want to arrange tents in this terrain, you must level the land and fill the pits on the ground.
The dust was flying, and the battalion commander personally took the lead, and the soldiers working below also made great efforts to fill the pits and dig the soil.
On the other side, a company of soldiers took out the tent and the support, opened the tent, and laid out the iron poles, wire ropes and fixing nails that supported the tent.
Before the land was leveled, the soldiers tied the wire rope to the tent in advance, and then passed the supporting iron rods into the four corners of the tent.
"Alright, set up a tent!"
Zhang Wei and the soldiers of the third company removed the potholes on the ground, and finally stepped on it with their feet, and the land was basically leveled.
"Slow down, it's open!"
Amid the sound of commands and the rubbing of cloth, the dark green tents of the squad were propped up and opened by iron poles.
The soldiers pulled the fixed wire rope, held the large fixing nails, and slapped the fixing nails into the ground with the military shovels and pickaxes used to dig fortifications during the battle, and tied the wire ropes connected to the tents to the fixing nails, and then the military tents were fixed.
Nearly 30 tents were completed quickly with collective cooperation, and it took more than half an hour for the preparation battalion to open and fix all the tents, just waiting for the soldiers to go in and rest.
"Battalion commander, it's almost!"
Qiu Wei rolled up his sleeves and said to Zhang Wei sweating profusely.
"Where's our military quilt?"
Qiu Wei said: "The quilt is on the mule horse of the machine gun company. ”
"Let the brothers move, and let the brethren rest today."
"By the way, go and inform the cooking team and bury the pot to cook."
"Yes!"
The soldiers were hungry all the time,
The tent has Qiu Maniac to adjust for himself, and the quilts have to be used by the soldiers, and the non-combat supplies of the battalion soldiers are prepared, such as quilts, which are carried by the soldiers themselves when they are usually in the non-combat march and shifting defense, and in order to reduce the burden on the soldiers during the war, all of them are handed over to the mules and horses of the heavy machine gun company to be camelized, and those mules and horses are also pitiful, not only to carry heavy machine guns and ammunition, but also to carry supplies and quilts.
Zhang Wei's preparation battalion is a direct unit of the 200th Division, and the higher-level unit is the headquarters of the 200th Division.
In other words, the infantry battalions of various combat units carry the baggage in wartime with the help of the higher-level unit, that is, the infantry regiment, and usually the infantry battalion under the regiment transportation company helps the subordinate infantry battalion to carry the excess materials and baggage during the operation, so as to facilitate the combat operations of the subordinate infantry battalion and reduce the burden on the troops.
The reserve battalion is a direct subordinate unit, and most of the baggage and prisoners have to be carried by themselves in wartime.
The camp was basically completed, and Qiu Wei conveyed Zhang Wei's orders to the companies in the past.
The soldiers who had just finished setting up their tents gathered at the urging of the officers and squad leaders, laid down their tools, and went to the mules and horses of the heavy machine gun company to receive their marching quilts.
The cooking squad of each company began to dig earthen stoves on the side, prepare ingredients, bury pots to cook rice according to Zhang Wei's orders, and open big dishes.
Zhang Wei walked over and took a look, pork, vegetables, and coarse rice and fine rice were all laid out.
The people in the cooking squad carried water and chopped firewood, preparing to make a fire for cooking, and Zhang Wei came to see it in person to ensure that the food could be put in place, and the things were really packed into the stomachs of the soldiers.
Soldiers can't go hungry.
After the tent was set up, all the affairs in the camp were almost arranged.
Zhang Wei called the three company commanders and instructed the three of them a few words: After the food of each company is ready, start the meal immediately, and don't rub it in.
Zhang Wei is now going to meet with Qiu Madman, and after a few days of fighting, he has to report the battle situation to this column leader.
Before leaving, Zhang Wei brought his three signal soldiers with him, and asked He Kun to pick out a few grenadiers from the newly captured trophies and carry them as proof of killing the enemy.
