Yang Xingguo frowned, and asked, "Now tell me about the specific situation of each battalion......

"I've been busy keeping people these days, and the army has neglected ......"

Zhou Zhongju nodded and replied: "Five combat battalions, each battalion has seven combat companies and one recruit company. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"As for those combat companies, they are all formed according to the old units, and the company has a heavy machine gun platoon, a light machine gun squad, and the total strength of the company has reached more than 180 people."

"But that's all on the surface. These combat companies, except for the three companies of the old unit, the heavy machine gun platoon and machine gun squad of the other combat companies are all unequipped......"

"That is, five battalions, although there are only seven combat companies, one recruit company. However, the total strength of each battalion has already reached fifteen hundred people. In addition to ordinary riflemen, who can achieve one gun per person, only three or four percent of light and heavy machine gunners are equipped with light and heavy machine guns......" Yang Xingguo, who frowned, subconsciously asked rhetorically.

Zhou Zhongju nodded and replied, "Yes, Commander...... Not only light and heavy machine guns, but also pistols and artillery are much worse......"

After a short period of contemplation, Yang Xingguo directly analyzed: "The reason why we used to equip the troops with so much light and heavy firepower was because we had insufficient troops. In order to defeat the enemy, the only way to defeat the enemy is to weaken the opponent's advantage by increasing firepower......"

"Now...... The number of troops has expanded, and the total number of troops has more than doubled. As long as the enemy attacking us does not exceed one division, we can easily deal with ...... In this way, if the troops allocate so much light and heavy firepower, it will be a waste, and it will also put a very big pressure on our logistics and ammunition supply......"

"So, I decided to reduce the light and heavy weapons of the troops."

"How to shrink...... Also, if the allocation of light and heavy weapons is suddenly reduced, will the battalion commanders below have any opinions......" Zhou Zhongju followed and asked.

Yang Xingguo waved his hand directly and said, "What can you say...... Even if the allocation of light and heavy weapons is reduced, the light and heavy firepower of our Liaodong Army still surpasses that of Lao Maozi. As for the troops of the imperial court, they are not comparable to us at all......"

Zhou Zhongju breathed a long sigh of relief and replied: "That's ......"

"Commander. So what is your scale-down plan...... I'm going to see if our existing light and heavy machine guns and artillery are enough after the downsizing......"

Yang Xingguo nodded and replied: "Expand the army first, and then expand it." Re-shrinking and reducing the allocation of heavy weapons......"

"Since the total strength of the five battalions is more than 1,500 people, then according to the second uncle's opinion, the five battalions will be directly expanded into five regiments."

"After the completion of the expansion, each regiment will include three combat battalions and one baggage company. a recruit company, an artillery platoon, a guard platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, a cavalry communications squad, a regimental command "

"The combat battalion consists of three combat companies, a baggage platoon, a heavy machine gun platoon, a guard squad, and a reconnaissance squad. A battalion command ......"

"The combat company includes three combat platoons, a baggage squad, a machine gun squad, a guard squad, and a company headquarters ......"

"The combat platoon includes three combat squads, a platoon commander, a deputy platoon commander, and a herald."

"The combat squad consists of three combat groups, one squad leader, three deputy squad leaders. Each led a combat group, a total of ten people. ”

"In this way, a platoon is 33 brothers, and a company is 130 brothers. A battalion is 500 brothers, and a regiment is 1,800 brothers......"

"Of course, if you don't count the recruit company, more than 1,700 brothers are enough."

"So, second uncle, you still have to find a way to recruit a thousand soldiers here and replenish them to five regiments. Let the five regiments reach full strength......"

After a short hesitation, Zhou Zhongju directly gave Yang Xingguo an affirmative answer.

"No problem, at most half a month, I will make up all the troops for the five regiments, and even the recruit company, I will make up for them......"

At this time, Yang Xingguo continued: "The next thing is how to distribute light and heavy weapons......

"Second uncle, tell me, how many light and heavy weapons do we have in our Liaodong Army......

Zhou Zhongju took out a list and replied: "There were originally 36 guns captured from Lao Maozi Mountain, and two were given to Zengqi, and there are 34 left......

"Heavy machine guns plus captured, there are 56 more ...... in total"

"There were originally 65 light machine guns, but a lot of them were blown up by Lao Maozi during the battle, and after repair, there are still 55 that can be used ......"

Yang Xingguo thought for a while and replied, "It's enough for the time being...... The artillery platoon of each regiment was equipped with two mountain guns, and the remaining 24 mountain guns were all equipped with artillery battalions, with four mountain artillery companies under it. ”

"Each battalion is armed with three heavy machine guns, and each regiment is nine heavy machine guns. For the rest, in addition to the equipment headquarters guard battalion, reconnaissance battalion, the headquarters formed a heavy machine gun company. ”

"The machine gun squad of each company was equipped with only one Madsen light machine gun for the time being, and when it was captured, it was restored to two. The rest of the Madsen light machine guns, all equipped with guard battalions, reconnaissance battalions ......"

"Also, all baggage troops, recruit units, are only equipped with rifles, not light and heavy machine guns and artillery......"

"The last thing to talk about is the pistol...... Because the number is limited, the squad leader will not be allocated......"

"All platoon commanders in the whole army are equipped with Mauser pistols, and many of them consider company commander-level officers. As for the officers above the platoon commander, all of them were equipped with the revolvers of the captured Lao Maozi......"

When the Liaodong Army began to carry out a vigorous reorganization, Murakami Shaosa, who was placed in the Liaodong Army by the Japanese military headquarters, finally found out the cause of Captain Matsumoto's death.

Because Li Zhilong did it very secretly, everyone involved in this battle saw that the bandit remnants were killed when Captain Matsumoto was killed.

Therefore, no matter how much Murakami Shaozo investigated and suspected, no evidence was found that this incident was committed by the Liaodong Army.

In this way, the matter can only be hastily ended.

When Murakami Shaoza refocused his attention on the purpose of his trip, the Liaodong Army had already begun to carry out large-scale reorganization.

As the chief instructor of the Liaodong Army, Yang Xingguo made a decision without telling himself, and he didn't take himself seriously at all.

Murakami's mood was not good all of a sudden.

Murakami Shaozuo, who was holding back his anger in his heart, directly found the headquarters and asked Yang Xingguo to give him an explanation.

After listening to Murakami's complaints, Yang Xingguo didn't get angry, but asked in a cold tone: "Murakami-kun, my Liaodong Army is not your army of the Japanese Empire, we are just a cooperative relationship." ”

"Before I want to do anything in the Liaodong Army, I have to ask you to agree and get the permission of your military department...... Then I'll tell you right now that we're not cooperating......"

Seeing that Murakami Shaozo was directly shocked by his own words, he was speechless for a long time

Yang Xingguo continued: "Also, as far as I know, those people under you seem to be doing something extraordinary. The Liaodong Army is my Liaodong Army, and I will not allow anyone to interfere...... Don't forget Captain Matsumoto, who just died at the hands of the bandits......"

Yang Xingguo's beating of Murakami Shaozo had already told Murakami Shaozo that Captain Matsumoto died at the hands of the Liaodong Army.

However, Murakami Shaozo had no choice but to swallow Yang Xingguo's warnings and beatings to himself because he had no evidence. (To be continued.) )
