332: War
In North Korea in September, the temperature difference between day and night is already quite large, and the mountain and forest environment makes the temperature difference between day and night even more unacceptable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
More than 15,000 officers and men of the 60th Division huddled under the big trees, and this night was very bad for them.
The cold air seemed to be asking for money, coming from all directions, wantonly invading these soldiers, while their supplies were still on the riverside, the 606th Regiment had worked very hard, but it could only ensure the rations of more than 15,000 officers and soldiers, and could ensure that they could eat a hot meal in this situation.
As for clothes and quilts, these are still in the rear, at the beginning of the battle, the troops did not want to carry these materials at all, after all, in broad daylight, the temperature is almost nearly 30 degrees, a long-sleeved military uniform is enough to deal with, plus the tactical vest on the body, during the day, many soldiers have to roll up their cuffs to cool off.
But at night, a thin military uniform could not stop the cold air.
There were no smooth roads, no suitable means of transportation, and the baggage of the 60th Division was all transported by the 606th Regiment in horse-drawn carts, ox carts, etc., and the 606th Regiment could not transport all the food, and they also had to transport a large amount of ammunition to ensure that the front line had enough ammunition.
Since the Han Army, the Royal Army has always adhered to the style of independent operation and independent transportation, that is, with the division as a unit, two brigades and six regiments, of which five regiments are combat regiments, one regiment is a baggage regiment, and two brigades are divided into the main combat brigade and the baggage assistance brigade.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the two brigades each have three regiments, but one regiment needs to take on the task of transporting baggage, and the standard configuration of this regiment is two combat battalions and two baggage battalions.
The baggage battalion was only equipped with rifles, and the combat battalion was equipped with double mortars and heavy machine guns, which was equivalent to assigning the heavy firepower of the baggage battalion to those two combat battalions.
It is said that the group army headquarters intended to apply to the emperor for an increase in the strength of one regiment for each division, with two brigades and seven regiments per division as the official establishment, of which the baggage regiment was directly under the division headquarters and was responsible for the supply of materials for the whole division.
Regarding this point, Wang Sirui has not thought about it, and he also knows that this will make the brigade-level troops look at each other unpleasantly, but there is no way, it is already a little difficult for the troops of one regiment to ensure the supplies of five regiments, and if one more regiment is added, the baggage regiment will not rest.
Therefore, before the baggage truck was equipped with troops, Wang Sirui did not intend to agree to this application.
There is also an advantage to the centralization of the baggage troops, that is, the remaining 15,000 officers and men, which are pure combat troops, are 15,000 real people.
On the side of the Japanese army, among the 18,000 troops, there were at least about 4,000 baggage troops, and in terms of numbers, the Royal Army still had an advantage.
But no matter what the above considered, but now on the battlefield, the battle situation is suddenly changeable, and it has only been a day since the war started, and the chaotic battlefield situation has ruined the face of Cao Kun's previous plan.
The troops advanced an extra five to ten kilometers, which may not seem like much, but for the baggage troops, the situation was very different.
What was originally a distance of 10 kilometers has now increased to 15 to 20 kilometers, which means that if they run two times now, they will take up the time and quantity of supplies they plan to run three times.
The most direct consequence of this is that more than 15,000 officers and men on the front line suffered from freezing all night, and in order to ensure the concealment of the troops, they did not even dare to light a fire at night, and cooked their meals from a distance of one kilometer, and then sent troops over to carry hot meals.
Wang Yaowu stood up and moved his body, and after a night's rest, he regained some physical strength and spirit.
He didn't sleep very well last night, but the quality of last night's rest was not the worst since he joined the army. In the past, when I was training, it was in the northeast in October, no fire was allowed, everyone could only wear summer clothes, they needed to conduct three days and three nights of tactical training in the mountains and forests, and the days at that time were really bitter, and now they still have long sleeves and a tactical vest, how to say that there are a few more pieces of cloth than before, isn't it?
On the battlefield, the first thing you do when you wake up every morning is not to wash, because there is no place for you to wash, and most soldiers, the first thing they do after waking up is to quickly move their bodies and then find a convenient place.
Then, tidy up your gear, go to eat with your lunch box, and then, the day's battle will begin.
The lunch box is a rectangular, slightly arced iron cylinder around it, about ten centimeters high, seven or eight centimeters long, and about five centimeters wide.
I don't know how to deal with it, this lunch box Wang Yaowu has been using it for two years, but it has not rusted until now.
Walking to the meal point, there was already a long queue there, but for this assembly-line way of cooking, the speed is still very fast, according to Wang Yaowu's experience, it will be his turn in a few minutes at most.
Sure enough, three minutes later, it was Wang Yaowu's turn to eat, Wang Yaowu first threw a rectangular cloth bag on his body to a cook soldier at the back, and then started to eat from the first position.
A bowl of rice porridge that was not very hot, water and rice were basically half to half, and then walking forward, another cook picked up a spoon and put a spoonful of vegetarian vegetables into the small box, and then another cook added half a spoonful of meat dishes.
Wang Yaowu and his skillful accumulation of small lunch boxes on top of the big lunch box, there is a designed card slot on it, as long as it does not fall and does not exercise vigorously, it will not fall under normal circumstances.
At this time, the rectangular cloth bag that was thrown away at the beginning was also loaded by the cooks, and it was placed there, according to Wang Yaowu's experience, it should be filled with two thick pancakes, if nothing else, it would be his lunch today, and if the war was fierce, it might even be his dry food for a whole day.
Holding the rice jar in one hand and the dry food bag below, he walked to the basket at the back, took two steamed buns by himself, and the work of cooking was done, and then he only needed to find a place to eat.
Although the conditions are a little difficult, I have to admit that the food of the Royal Army is still relatively good.
On weekdays, when I train, I must see meat dishes every two days, and when I fight, I usually see meat for breakfast, and this is the case every day.
So, a Royal Army soldier can complain that the training is too tiring, but no one has ever complained about the poor food.
is like Wang Yaowu himself, when he was a soldier, he weighed only 100 catties, was 1.75 meters tall, a typical telephone pole figure, and after two years, his weight had increased to 140 catties, and he also trained a body of muscles, which was enough to be called a perfect figure.
In fact, as long as the military has been in the army for more than half a year, the weight will basically increase by more than ten catties, which is enough to see how good the food of the Royal Army is.
The comrades-in-arms usually joke together, but now they eat so well in the army, they feed their mouths, and one day in the future, they are all retired, how should they live this day when they go home?
"Platoon commander, company commander asked you to go over for a meeting." Wang Yaowu had just squatted down, and before he could eat, one of his soldiers shouted at him.
"Got it!" Wang Yaowu violently put a mouthful of meat into his mouth, responded lazily, and then walked towards the company commander with his breakfast.
Although he doesn't know where the company commander is now, he just needs to go to the place where the company commander rested last night, anyway, there are so many people in a company, and the territory has been demarcated a long time ago, and he can see it when he arrives.
"You keep eating, I'll talk about today's task first." The company commander put his meal aside and said.
The four platoon commanders under him didn't feel embarrassed or anything, and squatted directly on the ground to eat, but the five of them formed a circle.
The company commander drew a circle on the ground, holding a small stick in his hand and pointing to a point on the west side of the circle: "This is our current location, this is Daguan, we are now about ten kilometers away from Daguan, according to the news from the scouts, there should not be many Japanese troops inside Daguan, but there are a lot of materials stored there, which should be prepared for the Japanese troops in the mountains." The mission of our battalion and the 4th battalion was to occupy this place, about four kilometers south of Odate Castle, and then set up defenses here to cut off the Japanese troops in the mountains from Odate and prevent them from escaping to Odate after defeat.
Our company's mission was to operate in the interior of the mountains within five kilometres west of here, and to find a way to lure Japanese troops to our line of defense once they were discovered.
We should pay attention to one point here, try to lead them to our front defense line, don't be careless and lead them to the back of the defense line at that time, in that case, the fourth battalion will probably scold my mother. The company commander drew an arc in front of the defensive line and signaled the route to lead the enemy.
"I heard that the North Korean soldiers were behind us last night?" Wang Yaowu asked, if there were Korean soldiers to assist, their mission might be relatively light, at least the possibility of being able to spot the Japanese army would be greater.
"You don't have to think about the North Korean soldiers today, yesterday they forcibly marched for a whole day, walked about 110 kilometers, and they were tired and paralyzed, and they were told to rest for a day today, and they will only be put into battle tomorrow." The company commander responded with a smile.
110 kilometers a day, not to mention the Korean army, even the Royal Army has to be paralyzed, the most suitable distance for the old infantry unit to march every day is about 70 kilometers, so that it will not touch the critical point of physical strength, and can ensure that the next day can have sufficient physical strength to fight, marching 110 kilometers, that is completely playing with life.
"Company Commander Sa, the battalion commander ordered, the troops will be drawn in twenty minutes."
