Including the midweek ju, everyone doesn't know when Yang Xingguo learned to **. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, as soon as Yang Xingguo said it, everyone believed it.

Not only that, everyone looked at Yang Xingguo's gaze, and because Yang Xingguo was omnipotent, they once again had a little more awe.

At this time, Yang Xingguo didn't give everyone much time to digest before decisively deciding: "Since our battalion has been equipped with a heavy machine gun platoon, it would be a bit redundant for the regiment to configure another heavy machine gun company!" ”

"So, I decided to abolish the heavy machine gun company and form an artillery company...... The brothers of the original heavy machine gun company, if they are willing to continue to be heavy machine gunners, go to the heavy machine gun platoons that will be formed soon in each battalion! ”

"Because of the limited number of heavy machine guns, before the purchase of heavy machine guns arrived, each heavy machine gun platoon was only equipped with two heavy machine guns, a total of two heavy machine gun squads......"

"The original heavy machine gun company is willing to be the brother of the artilleryman, so he will stay in the mountain artillery company that will be formed soon...... The mountain artillery company is temporarily served as the company commander by me, and Zhong Hu is the deputy company commander, with a total of three artillery platoons, each artillery platoon has three squads, including two artillery squads and one baggage ammunition squad, and the number of places in the whole company is uncertain......"

"Yes, Commander...... "Heavy machine guns were decentralized, and the heavy machine gun company was changed to an artillery company...... This news is of great benefit to anyone. Therefore, none of the subordinates objected, and they all agreed.

In particular, the three battalion commanders were eager to immediately divide up the six heavy machine guns that were still in the headquarters and bring them back to their barracks.

Seeing the fiery gazes that quickly appeared on the faces of several subordinates, Yang Xingguo followed and spoke......

"Since we have said this, then we will take a look at the summary meeting of the preliminary victory of this anti-encirclement and suppression operation...... All officers of the regiment above the company level will assemble in the conference room in five minutes, and the sniper platoon commander will also go to ......"

In the small conference room, there are more than a dozen officers, some serious, some excited, and of course, dignified...... He sat in his position with different expressions and listened to Chief of Staff Zhou Zhongju report on the specific results of the anti-encirclement and suppression operation.

"Commander, brothers, in the battle the day before yesterday, we eliminated more than 800 Lao Maozi, and 824 of them could find the corpse...... Among them, there was one battalion commander of Lao Maozi and five captains and company commanders, which can be described as a complete victory......"

"In terms of seizures, in addition to the old Maozi baggage and six artillery pieces brought back by the guard company and the reconnaissance company, there are also three heavy machine guns, 584 Mosina rifles, 35 short guns of various kinds, and more than 89,000 rounds of corresponding ammunition...... As for the other long and short guns, they were either damaged or taken away by the rest of Lao Maozi's troops......"

"Of course, in addition, we also seized a total of 819 sets of equipment and quilts from Lao Maozi, and I didn't count them...... So many quilts, plus what we originally captured and stored, are enough for the entire Yangjiazhai regiment to practice a very thorough dress...... Otherwise, as soon as others see our Yangjiazhai clothes, they will treat us as bandits......"

Yang Xingguo nodded in agreement and said: "This idea is good, since we are all half soldiers, we must have a little bit of a soldier's appearance...... However, change of clothes is change of clothes, no matter what, we have to distinguish ourselves from the old Maozi military uniform......"

"Chief of Staff, you work harder to see if you can find someone who can dye cloth and dye all the old Maozi military uniforms we captured dark green...... This color is not much different from the color of the black earth and the color of the leaves, which is very suitable for the soldiers to carry out concealed ......."

"Yes, Commander......" Zhou Zhongju replied without thinking.

As for the faces of the other battalion and company commanders, they were also very excited......

Especially Zhou Qiangsheng, who came from the patrol battalion, the excited expression on his face was more obvious and exaggerated than anyone else.

As soon as Zhou Zhongju finished speaking, he was so excited that he couldn't help but speak: "Commander, I have wanted to bring up this matter for a long time...... Only when an army has a unified military uniform can it truly return to its heart and have a sense of honor......"

"I believe that after the unit completes the redress, the morale of the entire regimental training will definitely become even higher......

Zhou Qiangsheng said that Yang Xingguo knew it, and it was all true. Now that the decision has been made, Yang Xingguo has no intention of discussing too much in this matter.

After only a brief hesitation, he continued to ask Zhou Zhongju......

"What about loss! As the saying goes, if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose 800 yourself...... In addition, we are not fighting Lao Maozi's garrison this time, but the elite of their elite, and if we eliminate so many Lao Maozi, our own losses will definitely be very large......"

"In addition, I would like to remind everyone that, on the surface, we let Lao Maozi lose his troops and won the victory against encirclement and suppression...... However, this victory was all temporary...... Lao Maozi spent so much effort to deal with us, he would never admit defeat so willingly......"

"Not surprisingly, Lao Maozi, who retreated to Anshan County, has begun to prepare for their next encirclement and suppression at this moment. Therefore, we must be aware of our own losses and use this time to replenish them......"

Zhou Zhongju nodded in understanding and continued: "Commander, brothers, in this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, we have a total of 312 soldiers killed, including a company commander, two deputy company commanders, and six platoon commanders......

"There were 42 people who were seriously injured and had to withdraw from the group training...... There were more than 100 people who were slightly injured and did not affect the battle......"

"In terms of weapons, a total of 57 rifles and 48,000 rounds of ammunition of various types were lost...... Among them, the loss of bullets from light and heavy machine guns was the most serious, with three heavy machine guns consuming more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition and eight light machine guns consuming more than 4,000 rounds of ammunition. “

At this time, everyone's faces showed a solemn expression because of such heavy casualties.

Yang Xingguo also looked solemn and couldn't speak for a long time.

The direct loss of more than 300 people directly means that the Yangjiazhai regiment will lose two companies of troops at once.

After taking a deep breath, Yang Xingguo had to speak: "Don't be afraid of the loss of ammunition...... The seizure is sufficient to make it up. As for the Madsen light machine gun bullets, I had already taken them into account when I bought them from a foreign company......"

"The Madsen light machine gun can not only use the machine gun bullets we bought, but also our Mosiner rod rifle cartridges...... After going down, immediately organize the brothers to test it...... If there is no effect on the range, all future Madsen light machine gun bullets will be reused with Mosina rod rifle cartridges......"

"In terms of personnel attrition, it is difficult to replenish ......"

"However, no matter how difficult it is, we must make up for all the lost soldiers before Lao Maozi's next encirclement and suppression operation begins...... If possible, it would be better to form another new battalion......"

"As long as there are enough recruits, the combat effectiveness of the combat units will not be reduced because of the casualties of the troops."

Wang Hu, who knew the surrounding situation better than anyone else, frowned, and said: "Commander, it is not easy to recruit hundreds of troops in a short period of time......

"The total population of Anshan is only tens of thousands, and the people around us are even less...... If you want to recruit so many people at once, you have to go farther......"

"And the old Maozi who retreated to the county seat, could he be indifferent to watching us go so far to recruit troops?"
