Chapter 102: The opponent is strong
Just when everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, secretly glad in their hearts that the battalion commander didn't find themselves. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Ping changed his words and continued: "There is one more question, but I have to ask the instructor to introduce a situation to you first, and then I will scold people!" ”
Cheng Xiao stood up very quickly and said: "When I first came to the results and captures counted by Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng, I was very happy. The reason you just said is that with these equipment, our independent battalion can casually expand another main company. ”
"But when the companies reported the ammunition consumed on the battlefield, I was shocked! And the shock is followed by heartache! ”
"I won't talk about the reason for this, but let me introduce you to all kinds of ammunition that we used up in one night!"
"Mortar shells, 126 rounds were used, grenades for grenades, 183 were used, and 215 grenades were used. The heavy machine gun was in a better situation because it was not used much, and only more than 800 rounds of ammunition were used. As for the rifle bullets that are common to the 38 big cover and the crooked handle, more than 13,000 rounds were used. Especially the company that served as the main attacker, almost all the ammunition before the start of the battle was used up, if it wasn't for the temporary replenishment of the battlefield, the company didn't even have bullets when chasing and killing devils! ”
"Do you know how many bullets there are in one regiment of our main force when they participate in the battle? I'll tell you, it's just over 10,000 rounds, and there are no shells! ”
"More than 10,000 rounds of ammunition, excluding the devils killed by shells and grenades, an average of about 100 bullets to kill one devil, and two shells or grenades only kill one. If it weren't for the thick foundation of our independent battalion, we wouldn't have been able to fight such a battle at all! ”
"Having said so much, I just want to tell you that the battalion commander allocates so many bullets to everyone, it is a devil, not a waste on the battlefield!"
Seeing that the instructor was getting angrier and angrier, Wang Ping hurriedly stood up and interrupted.
"I'll just say three things, during the whole battle, when our machine gunners were maneuvering the machine guns, I didn't see a single person using burst fire. Look at the little devils, they have more ammo than we do! However, during the battle, almost all of their machine gunners fired from point to ear, and few of them had the luxury of firing from beginning to end like our machine gunners! ”
"Let's talk about our riflemen, because many of them are on the battlefield for the first time, so they don't aim when they shoot. I've also seen grenades thrown out by people that didn't set fire! ”
"Finally, our artillerymen and grenadiers, except for a few veteran gunners, will appropriately adjust the firing angle during the firing process to maximize the accuracy of the shells. When the others opened fire, they would not move from the beginning to the end, and the mortar firing angle would not move. Often hit the back, and the shells fired out have deviated from the target by tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters! ”
After saying the three things, the platoon commander in front of him had all lowered his arrogant heads.
Because what Wang Ping said was the truth, and each of these things existed in each of their subordinates.
At this moment, Wang Ping's tone changed and he continued: "These few things annoy me very much, and then I want to scold you for being a loser. However, I discussed it with the instructor, and this time, we will not scold you or give you any punishment. Because, there are too many recruits in your hands, and I was pulled into the battlefield without too long of running-in training, and if you really hold you accountable, I have the greatest responsibility! ”
"But, then, I want you to step up your training. In the next ten days, I will give you enough ammunition and enough actual combat battlefield for you to train. ”
As long as you are not a fool, you can understand the implicit meaning behind Wang Ping's words, so the faces of dozens of subordinates instantly became fanatical, and then stared at Wang Ping.
Zhang Yunshan, the commander of the second company, first couldn't help but ask: "Battalion commander, is there another battle to be fought again!" ”
"Not bad!" Wang Ping nodded in affirmation.
But he did not give a direct order, but said with a serious face: "Instructors, deputy battalion commanders, and comrades, before announcing the task, I want to tell you one thing. ”
"After the battle in Shimonoseki Village, I found that the independent battalion had become arrogant from top to bottom, and to put it more bluntly, it was to underestimate the enemy and not take the devil in his eyes. I would like to remind you that the proud army will be defeated! In addition, the situation that our independent battalion is currently facing is not as good as we imagined, not only bad, but also very bad. ”
"As for the devils in Laiyuan City, they are not as soldiers as everyone imagined. To tell you the truth, there are devil troops in Laiyuan City, and the reason why they didn't come out to attack us was because they were waiting, waiting for the troops to form combat effectiveness, and then destroy us in one fell swoop! ”
Seeing that everyone hadn't understood yet, Wang Ping continued to analyze: "A few days ago, I went back to the military subdivision and got a piece of news that the devils in Laiyuan City have been expanded into brigades, with a total strength of 6,500 people, and a mixed brigade of independent artillery brigades and cavalry brigades. Now, the devils in the city must have received a lot of reinforcements, but because the devils were defeated by us in front of them, they lost a large number of veterans. If you want these recruits to form combat effectiveness, you need to run in training for a longer time! ”
Instructor Cheng Xiao was the first to react, and then stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Battalion commander, are you sure you are telling the truth." The next Japanese army that our independent battalion will face is not a disabled wing, but a newly formed mixed brigade! ”
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "In addition to a mixed brigade, there is also a brigade of puppet troops. The Laiyuan Garrison Regiment of the Imperial Association Army has also been expanded into a garrison brigade, and the captured Central Army and the Jin Sui Army are being forced to join them, and it will not take too long to be full! ”
"I'm not worried about the puppet army, as long as we kill the real traitors among them, the remaining puppet army will take the initiative to surrender to us without fighting!" Zeng Quan said confidently.
"No!" Wang Ping shook his head and retorted.
"The Imperial Allied Army in this brigade is different from what we have encountered before. According to the information received by the military sub-division, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the puppet army, the Japanese installed a large number of low-level officers of the Japanese army in the Imperial Allied Army to serve as deputy positions and instructors of officers above the company level of the Imperial Allied Army. As long as the Japanese army was given enough time to train them, the combat effectiveness of these Imperial Allied troops could reach fifty percent of the Japanese army, even if it was not comparable to the real Japanese army. ”
"It's another strong enemy, all of which add up to nearly 10,000 puppet troops!" Cheng Xiao frowned and analyzed.
Immediately afterwards, he reminded Wang Ping: "Battalion commander, we are an independent battalion with a total strength of less than 1,000 people, will we be the opponent of the Japanese puppet army?" If they gather a heavy force to encircle us, will we be able to hide from it? ”
Dozens of subordinates all stared at Wang Ping, looking worried, waiting for Wang Ping to answer.
Let everyone realize the terrible situation that the independent battalion is currently facing, and no longer be arrogant. What Wang Ping needs to do next is to make everyone confident in the future of the independent battalion.
After taking a deep breath, he replied confidently: "I will definitely be able to dodge, and I am preparing for the future heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army!" ”
"I've already started to prepare, why don't I know!" Cheng Xiao asked with a puzzled expression.
Others also showed mixed expressions of confusion and incomprehension.
"The fight we just had last night is what I call preparation!" Wang Ping replied in surprise.
Then, without waiting for everyone's questions, he took the initiative to analyze: "For a newly formed army, the importance of veterans is self-evident. We are, and so are the devils. The more veterans, the sooner the newly formed units will be able to develop combat effectiveness. The fewer veterans, the longer it will take for new recruits to develop combat effectiveness. ”
