[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 467: Costume Change (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything!) ）

After determining the number of troops to go south and the general of the army, the matter is not over. In addition to the number of troops, how far the distance is, how much dry food and ammunition are needed, how many enemy blockade lines will be crossed along the way, and how to deal with emergencies, all of these must be carefully considered.

Even if there is a small problem, the consequences can be catastrophic. After all, if you go deep into enemy territory, any mistake is not easy to remedy. For example, if there is less dry rations, the troops will go hungry. With less ammunition, the fighters don't have enough ammunition to fight the devils. So the next thing is to negotiate and formulate a complete plan for sending troops, so as not to have a fatal loophole.

Since it was already very late today, and it would take a long time to transfer soldiers and distribute equipment, Yun Jian quickly issued orders to all units overnight according to Ma Zheng's request, assembled all the troops that needed them, and listened to orders at any time.

For the sake of secrecy, none of the soldiers this time will know what the mission of the trip will be until they reach their destination. Before the action, everyone was only told that they were going to have a long stretch.

Soon, the Yan'an side approved the plan submitted by Ma Zheng to go south and agreed to go south, but hoped that Ma Zheng would carefully consider the number of soldiers he carried.

As a matter of fact, the chairman and others also believed that Ma Zheng still carried too few soldiers this time, and the total number of infantry in the three battalions was less than 1,500, and the number of special combat personnel was about 1,800 plus 300 special combat personnel, which was less than an infantry regiment.

What's more, this time it is interspersed with thousands of miles, and heavy weapons such as mountain artillery and field artillery cannot be carried at all, not even mortars, nor can 110-kilogram heavy machine guns. After getting rid of these heavy weapons, the combat capability of the troops will be greatly reduced, so the chairman and others hope that Ma Zheng will consider it carefully. He even proposed to let others lead the team south, and Ma Zheng then led a small army to follow.

However, these were all vetoed by Ma Zheng, it is indeed a bit far from the Suicha Military Region to Shandong, and it is indeed dangerous along the way, but Ma Zheng believes that the elite he has trained will definitely not have problems, and he will definitely be able to arrive in Shandong safely.

On the morning of June 27, Yun Jian came to report to Ma Zheng, saying that the troops were ready to leave at any time.

Ma Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and in the afternoon he openly attended the meeting to congratulate the victory of the Northern Shanxi Campaign and delivered a speech at the meeting. In the afternoon, Ma Zheng personally went to the warehouse of the military region to take a look, and by the way, he picked out a few handy weapons and equipment, and prepared to set off overnight.

Just after 7 o'clock in the evening, more than 1,800 people had already assembled at the training ground of the headquarters of the Suicha Military Region.

Although there were two thousand people in the training ground, it was quiet, no one spoke, let alone exchanged ears, and everyone stood like javelins.

The vast majority of the fighters received an order in the afternoon, requiring them to assemble at the training ground of the military district headquarters at 6 p.m., and to hand over all the weapons, equipment, and ammunition in their hands to the higher departments before assembling.

Although many people don't know what happened, soldiers are called soldiers because they know what to do once they are ordered to do so without asking why. Although this mission looked unusual, seeing that the people who received the notification were all well-known combat backbones and elite fighters of each company, the big guys were not too worried.

However, many attentive soldiers were secretly happy in their hearts, and the commander must have given them some important task when he gathered them. Some of the veteran soldiers even thought of Ma Zheng's first gathering of combat backbones, and that time it seemed that it was also under this circumstance that the commander gathered all the combat backbones and veteran soldiers with combat experience in the whole regiment.

And what kind of scenery are those who were assembled at the beginning, except for those who entered the special combat team, the rest have all become officers, and some of them have even climbed to the high position of battalion commander and regiment commander, and now the commander has assembled the backbone of the battle for the second time is definitely a good thing.

The vast majority of people in the military district knew the temper of the commander and knew that he hated the fighters making a lot of noise when they were assembled, so there were very few people talking at the training ground at this time. Yun Jian and the others were even more so, and they rarely spoke on the training ground. After the meeting broke up last night, he began to look for people according to Ma Zheng's request, and asked the communications team of the military region to notify them one by one.

Seeing these nearly two thousand sturdy warriors, Yun Jian's heart suddenly became arrogant. With this group of elites, he believes that even if Ma Zheng can't reverse the chaos in Shandong, there will be no problem with self-preservation. As he said before, Ma Zheng has become a banner of the Anti-Japanese War at this time, and as long as he is alive, this banner will not fall.

As soon as Yun Jian had sorted out his troops, Ma Zheng rode his horse to the training ground. After dismounting, Ma Zheng saluted Yun Jian and said, "Old Yun, you've worked hard, have you all assembled?" ”

"It's all here, 300 special combat personnel and 1,447 combat backbones have all been assembled, but the commander of the second brigade is in Datong." Yun Jian replied.

Ma Zheng looked at the troops standing in two phalanxes, and said loudly: "Now listen to my orders, it is the only son of the family who is out of the ranks!" ”

After hearing the order, one hundred and seventy or eighty people walked out of the troops.

"Married and have children, get out of the ranks!" Ma Zheng ordered again.

Following Ma Zheng's order, more than 400 people came out, including more than 60 members of the special combat team.

Seeing that there were no more soldiers out of the ranks, Ma Zheng continued: "The comrades who came out of the ranks can go back, return to the original troops to continue fighting, and your weapons and equipment can be collected from your leaders." Well, the comrades who came out of the queue immediately withdrew from the training ground, and the time limit was three minutes. ”

As soon as Ma Zheng's words were finished, Yun Jian on the side immediately shouted to the soldiers who came out of the ranks: "Take a break, stand upright, turn to the right and turn left, and run!" ”

Under the leadership of Yun Jian, the soldiers who did not meet Ma Zheng's standards quickly ran out of the training ground. Seeing the remaining more than 1,200 people, Ma Zheng continued: "Xie Wensheng, now I appoint you as the captain of this infantry brigade, now immediately form the team, and then go to the quartermaster warehouse to receive equipment and supplies, and immediately carry out the order." ”

"Yes"

"Xu Haifeng, in the name of the commander of the military region, I appoint you as the captain of the wolf's tooth special operations team, and you will also be limited to one minute to form the team, and then go to the warehouse of the military region to receive equipment and supplies, and gather at the railway station half an hour later."

"Yes"

Half an hour later, the two troops appeared on time at the Guisui railway station, from where they were to board the train and then head south from there.

However, when Xie Wensheng and Xu Haifeng got into the car, Ma Zheng saw that the faces of the two of them were a little not good-looking, and immediately shook his head with a smile.

Don't think about it, these two guys must have thought that the military region had new and advanced weapons and equipment again, so they let them change their clothes, and they took the troops to change their clothes with joy, but they didn't expect that in the end, what they changed back was the broken copper and rotten iron that had been eliminated, and they were definitely not happy in their hearts.

Xie Wensheng was a little better, originally they were equipped with Japanese-made equipment, but they handed over all the heavy machine guns and mortars in their department and turned them into a rifle for each person. In addition to their weapons, they even had their military uniforms changed. In addition to two sets of bandit uniforms made of thick linen, each soldier actually had a set of devil uniforms, and even he himself was issued with an adjutant uniform.

And Xu Haifeng is not good, the rifles used by the special combat team before have been replaced with assault rifles, but this time they have been replaced with light machine guns and Japanese-made 100-type submachine guns. These two guns are far inferior to assault rifles in terms of quality and performance, and it is no wonder that this guy is not happy.

However, Ma Zheng did not explain anything to them, this time going south is not as good as fighting in the Suicha Military Region, although the assault rifle is powerful, but there is no place to replenish the bullets. In addition, the rate of fire of the assault rifle is too fast, and the consumption of ammunition is not something that ordinary troops can support, and a gun without bullets is actually not as good as a burning fire, so Ma Zheng will replace all the assault rifles.

But Ma Zheng is not ready to tell them about these things, and when they get to the place, I am afraid that if Ma Zheng doesn't say it, they will understand, and what he says now is just a matter of talking about it. (To be continued.) )
