Chapter 437: Armed Militia
In order for Razak to recruit the troops back, the first thing he must do must be to recruit the generals of the unified army back to Basra.
Send the troops out first, and then recruit the generals back, what are you going to do?
Isn't this a seizure of power?
The suspicious generals immediately thought that it must be the gendarmes who were waiting for them in Basra, and that they had been killed by men sent by Razak before they could even return to Basra.
It's not close to Basra from Semavo, and there is so much that can happen on the road.
The convoy was ambushed, the helicopter was shot down, or even bombed, and Razak would at best declare afterwards that a terrible accident had happened.
As long as one general thinks so, then the world will be in chaos.
When the time comes, without the rebels, the government forces will kill each other.
As for allowing these generals to lead their troops back to Basra, it is even more unlikely, at least Razak will never give this order.
In fact, Razak will not trust Wang Dong's judgment at all, let alone Nanijel.
That night, Wang Dong ordered the Nasiriyah garrison to be put into combat readiness.
Subsequently, Wang Dong contacted Xie Chuyue, who was still assisting the government forces in Samavo, and asked him to keep a close eye on the movements of the rebels and prepare to return to Nasiriyah.
The order was unambiguous, to break through from Semavo as soon as the government forces were dispersed.
Of course, you have to contact Wang Dong so that you can send someone to answer it.
As for the rest, it doesn't matter.
Then, Wang Dong called Yunlong and asked him to send the equipment of the two brigades to Nasiriyah as soon as possible, so that the recruited recruits could be armed.
In addition, the Royal Saudi Air Force will send more reconnaissance aircraft to intensify reconnaissance of the rebels, especially near Samawah.
The main forces of the government forces were concentrated in Semavo, and if the main forces of the rebels were still to the south, they would besiege Semavo.
Even if the rebels were very well camouflaged and not detected by reconnaissance planes, it would not be possible to launch a general attack without warning, and their whereabouts would inevitably be revealed before the attack.
After making these arrangements, Wang Dong began to make defensive deployments.
Before dawn, Iron Tiger and Churkin each left Nasiriyah with a group of operatives.
According to the arrangement, their task was to guard the perimeter, focus on monitoring the road to Semavo, and go to pick up Xie Chuyue if necessary.
Wang Dong left Lei Dong behind, because Lei Dong needed to deploy a defensive position.
If the number of troops is too small, we have to make a fuss about defensive deployment.
At this time, Wang Dong only had a few thousand officers and soldiers in two brigades, which were actually militiamen, that is, these soldiers recruited in Nasiriyah were not included in the establishment.
There is no way around it, i.e., Razak will never allow Nanigal to recruit soldiers without permission.
Fortunately, the requirements of these militias are not very high, and it is enough to be fed and receive some military pay, and none of them expect to receive the allowance from the government.
In fact, the allowance issued by the government is meaningless at all, that is, the dinar has long been turned into waste paper.
In addition, Nanijal assured all the recruits that he would fight for them and defend Nasiriyah with them.
This is not just a matter of words, but of action.
In the eastern district of Nasiriyah, an area has been set aside to house military families, that is, the families of recruits, and to provide them with a ration twice that of Pingming.
In other words, as long as you become Nanijal's subordinate, your family will be able to live a good life.
In fact, this is the method proposed by Wang Dong.
If you want a soldier to sell his life, it is necessary to solve the soldiers' worries.
Because the family is in Nasiriyah, in order to make the family live a good life, these militiamen who take up arms will definitely fight bravely on the battlefield.
For this reason, having a family member in Nasiriyah became a hard indicator of recruitment.
The biggest problem for these recruits is the lack of training.
The first batch of recruits enlisted in the army for more than 10 days, and the later recruits were less than 10 days, not to mention anything else, and even the basic training was not completed.
It can be said that these thousands of people are genuine rookies.
On the battlefield, all they have is courage and the consciousness to be cannon fodder.
It was precisely because he had not completed the basic training that Wang Dong had not been in a hurry to ask Yunlong for weapons and equipment, after all, he couldn't use it if he sent it.
Training takes time, and what is lacking now is time.
There is really no way, so I can only increase the intensity of training, and carry out combat skills training in advance, at least master the skills of using firearms.
For this reason, Wang Dong called Faisal and asked him to quickly send a batch of DF762 series firearms.
It doesn't take much, it's just used for training.
Wang Dong didn't use the DF8SMG and DF6PD to train recruits, just because all Yunlong could provide was the DF762 series of firearms.
Previously, in order to arm Wang Dong's forbidden army, the stock of DF8SMG and DF6PD had been used.
Because the DF762 series of firearms is less difficult to produce and takes up fewer production resources, D&F has already adjusted its production plan to reduce the production of DF8SMG and DF6PD in order to be able to produce more DF762 and keep up with the expansion of the Iraqi government army.
In addition, the DF762's ammunition is cheaper and can be obtained on the battlefield.
Comparatively speaking, DF762 is also easier to grasp by recruits.
The performance of DF8SMG and DF6PD is excellent, but the requirements for users are also very high.
Take the DF8SMG as an example, the effective range of up to 1200 can only play its due value in the hands of fighters with excellent marksmanship, and the marksmanship of recruits will obviously not be much better, and it is not easy for recruits to master the use of optical sights.
The problem with the DF6PD is that the rate of fire is too fast, and if the recruit is allowed to hold it, it is easy to run out of all the bullets in one shuttle.
DF762 is easy to maintain, very reliable, and does not necessarily have to be equipped with optical sights, point firing devices, more suitable for rookies.
While stepping up training, Wang Dong also asked Nanijel to recruit soldiers from among the refugees.
Quite simply, Faisal not only sent a thousand DF762 series guns, but also ten containers of old guns, all of which were captured firearms.
The firearms are stored in a military camp in Basra, where Saudi troops are now stationed.
Before receiving Wang's call, Faisal was still worried about what to do with the guns, after all, the well-armed Saudi army did not need them.
Knowing that Wang Dong was arming the militia, Faisal immediately sent someone to bring these firearms.
There are tens of thousands of rifles, thousands of light machine guns and general-purpose machine guns, and even some RPGs, but there aren't many rockets.
There are various types of firearms, but they are all standard firearms of the rebels.
The condition is not very good, and some are seriously damaged, but most of them can be used normally, and all that is needed is to carry out necessary maintenance after disassembly.
As for ammunition, it is even less of a problem.
Whether it is NATO standard ammunition or Russian ammunition, Saudi Arabia can provide it, and Faisal also promised to send a batch of ammunition to Nasiriyah.
With these guns, it is possible to arm enough militias.
It was also when Wang Dong was busy expanding the ranks of the militia that the battle of Semavo began. 21010
