Chapter 430: Independent Regiment (continued)
After Meng Qingshan finished speaking, Meng Qingshan asked the soldiers of the independent regiment to continue training, and Meng Qingshan was observing from the side, and he didn't see it very clearly from a distance before, at this time Meng Qingshan wanted to take a closer look at their training, maybe because of Meng Qingshan's arrival, or because of the words of Meng Qingshan and the regiment commander Zhong Wei before, the soldiers were enthusiastic, and in the wave of roars, they trained their own subjects in their respective companies, Meng Qingshan looked at their training very satisfied, In just one month, Zhong Wei was able to train this group of laborers like this, and he must have put a lot of painstaking effort into it, and if the chief of staff and political commissar saw it, they would also agree, but this time, because the Japanese army suddenly gathered troops to the periphery of the base area, the headquarters could not leave people, so the chief of staff Liu Yalou kept an eye on the movements of the Japanese army at the headquarters, and Meng Qingshan came to meet the comrades sent by the Party Central Committee to work in the northeast, so he came to check Zhong Wei's training results by the way, and see if they could take on the big responsibility. After all, this time the Kwantung Army has hoarded heavy troops on the edge of the North Manchurian base area, and it seems that they are going to use the Anti-Japanese Federation to train their new divisions, Meng Qingshan is worried that the strength of the four main divisions is a little thin, and once there is any accident, troops must be sent forward, at this time Meng Qingshan thought of Zhong Wei.
"Ah Wei, well done. I really didn't expect that in less than a month, this group of laborers would have such a high morale in your hands..."Meng Qingshan said to Zhong Wei, who was accompanying him.
"Thank you for the compliments, but these are the results of the soldiers' own efforts and the 200 cadres you have sent. In addition, the soldiers of our independent regiment all have a hatred for the little devils, you must know that many of the soldiers in this group were tricked by the little devils to work here as laborers. If we hadn't rescued them, they would have been more than lucky. When they knew that they were going to be soldiers and fight devils, they were very active. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to train them to do that so quickly. Hearing Meng Qingshan's praise. Zhong Wei said modestly while being happy.
"It's good to be able to be not arrogant at this time. Ah Wei, now that your independent regiment has been established, it is time to exercise your mission. In the past few days, the Japanese army has also moved very frequently, and on the edge of the base area, our troops are sufficient, but once the big war is intensive. We can't guarantee that there will be no small units of Japanese troops inserted into the base area, so just in case, you should be ready for battle and wait for orders from the headquarters at any time. How, are there any problems? After listening to Zhong Wei's answer, Meng Qingshan did not hesitate. Nodding his head, he began to give the battle order.
"No problem, Chief. If you have any hard bones to hand over to our independent regiment, you can rest assured, the independent regiment will guarantee the completion of the task. When the time comes, as long as the little devils rush to the base to make trouble. Then our independent regiment will let them stay in the base area and not think about going out, you must know that we have been waiting for this battle for a long time. Zhong replied loudly.
"Is it really okay?"
"Or the chief understands me, our independent regiment is all armed with rifles. If we lack some heavy weapons, you see if the chief should give us some mortars, infantry guns, mountain artillery, etc. Artillery companies are not used, so that the commander-in-chief is stingy. Just give us an artillery battalion to equip it, and it would be better if we gave an artillery regiment. Zhong Wei said.
"Good guy, you kid is really a lion's mouth, don't think about it, if you want to be amazing, forget about mortars, you still want infantry guns, even if I give it to you, will your troops use it?" Meng Qingshan said with a smile.
"Wow! It's worthy of the chief, why didn't I figure it out! Chief, you can send us some good artillerymen, otherwise we won't be able to use it just by giving us cannons. Zhong Wei hurriedly took over and said.
Looking at Zhong Wei's funny beside him, Meng Qingshan had a headache, whether this is the Chinese Barton of the later generations, no matter how you look at it, it will be a troublemaker, but since this kid has spoken, then give it to him, I want to see if this kid's level is as the later generations said.
Since the arsenal developed rocket artillery, Meng Qingshan decided to use this kind of artillery in the future artillery division, but Meng Qingshan knew that his family background would definitely not be comparable with Jiangbei, Jiangbei paid more attention to the number of artillery in the battle, and was not very good at artillery technology. Meng Qingshan had seen the materials captured in the hands of the Japanese army. In the Normenhan operation, the Soviets paid more attention to cluster fire coverage, the accuracy of single artillery shooting was very poor, and the artillery preparation time was very long.
Moreover, Jiangbei did not attach much importance to the construction of artillery fortifications and air defense. They have a large number of air forces, but the Anti-United Nations does not have this condition. Artillery bunkers, not only to defend artillery, but also to air defense, although Meng Qingshan is very greedy for Jiangbei's firepower coverage tactics, in the battle of Heihe used once, when he learned that the shells were consumed, Meng Qingshan's heart was drunk, not to know that firewood and rice are expensive, hundreds of group artillery salvos in less than half an hour of shelling, consumed half of the ammunition in the inventory of the Anti-United Nations.
Since it is impossible to cover the cluster fire, it can only work the accuracy of a single artillery, but the accuracy of this practice is not to practice against the cannon every day, which requires actual combat experience, when listening to Zhong Wei's words, Meng Qingshan had a flash of inspiration, if the artillery division is large-scale activities, it is very likely to be bombed by Japanese aircraft, and at that time, the artillery division without artillery bunkers and air defense forces will be taken away by the aircraft in a wave, so it can only be a small group of small units on the battlefield for actual combat, At this time, the artillery divisions can be scattered and assigned to various regiments for actual combat exercises, so that the artillery can not only enhance their technology, but also increase the troops' ability to attack fortified positions, and at the same time, the headquarters does not need to send troops to protect the artillery.
Seeing that Meng Qingshan was silent, Zhong Wei immediately said with a sad face: "Chief! If there are no artillery, then we should go and be a garrison! There are no heavy weapons, how can I fight those well-armed little devils with the rifle in my hand. ”
"Oh! Is this just the thing that stumped our Grand Master Zhong? You must know that we relied on the Soviet power established in Jinggangshan by Hanyang, old sleeves, and red tassel guns, and started the 25,000-mile Long March with rifles, and now we have the 38 big cover of the little devils. Light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns can't satisfy you kid. ”
"Chief, just grant me this little request!" Zhong Wei suddenly hugged Meng Qingshan's arm, staring at Meng Qingshan with tears in his eyes, looking like he would cry to you if you didn't agree.
Meng Qingshan, who was watching, shuddered, and quickly knocked Zhong Wei's hand off and said, "When I go back, I will send an artillery battalion to fight you here." ”
"Really? Great, thank you, chief, as long as we have heavy weapons, we will fight wherever you point, and we will never lose face to our anti-United Nations. ”
"Why don't you give you the artillery battalion, won't you win the battle?"
"Fight, why not fight, we had a hundred confidence in the battle before, and as soon as the artillery battalion came, we had two hundred."
"Ugly words are said in the front, this artillery battalion is not for you, but for you, you have to protect them for me, if they have any losses, I will settle accounts with you."
"Please rest assured, when this artillery battalion comes to me, I will treat them as my wife, and I will never let them suffer the slightest grievance."
Meng Qingshan nodded, but no matter how he listened to it, he dared to feel weird. (To be continued.) )
