In the evening, Yuan Pengfei's hearty laughter came from the compound of the battalion headquarters, but several company commanders stood separately, staring at each other, treating each other as competitors.

No way, wolves have more meat and less meat.

Yesterday, after the three company commanders were assigned tasks, they took the soldiers to their respective villages overnight to recruit soldiers, formulated a recruitment strategy, and went with the chief of the security department to persuade families with school-age youths.

They started recruiting early this morning, and after they finished recruiting, they rushed back with the roster non-stop. I didn't say it, who has too many weapons and equipment that can be obtained with one mouth!

No, the number of people reported on the roster of the three company commanders is already unexpected.

Rao Guohua, the commander of the first company, recruited 53 recruits in Shangtai Village, and estimated that 1/5 of the village's population was taken away.

Zhang Daming, the commander of the second company, recruited 45 recruits in Lixin Village, and the speed was quite fast.

Chen Qiao, the commander of the third company, is very powerful, Qilipo and Doumen Village are the farthest away, and the population adds up to hundreds of households, and he recruited 120 recruits in one go, which is more than enough to make up for the third company.

After Yuan Pengfei was happy, he was puzzled, and he asked, "Lao Chen, have you wiped out these two villages?" There is no means of violating discipline! ”

Chen Qiao smiled, "Battalion commander, you don't know me yet, how dare you violate discipline." It's just two villages, and the four of us are a bit wasteful, so I sent the second platoon leader and the third platoon leader to other villages, and the four villages combined only got 120 recruits, and there is still potential to be tapped. ”

As soon as they said this, everyone understood, and Rao Guohua and Zhang Daming were also annoyed in their hearts. The two of them just wanted to give full play to their potential and recruit as many troops as possible in the village. I haven't had time to recruit troops from other villages in the base area!

In this way, 218 recruits were recruited in the three companies, and there was no problem in replenishing the situation before the second battalion. If you add the 112 people recruited by the battalion headquarters in Shuwa Village, this is equivalent to building another second battalion.

Less manpower is troublesome, and more manpower is also troublesome. The weapons and equipment promised by Yuan Pengfei were obtained early, and the three of them were all in line with the situation. However, the equipment left in the warehouses of the second battalion, plus their existing strength, that is, a fully armed battalion, is obviously not enough now.

"Battalion commander, deputy battalion commander, three company commanders."

The black-faced old man walked in with the booklet compiled by Li Xiucai, and greeted a few people expressionlessly. Li Xiucai was thin-skinned for fear of offending people, and he was embarrassed to come over to announce the bad news.

So he pushed this arduous task to the black-faced old man, anyway, he is a black-faced god, and he is born with three points of evil, and others dare not lie at him even if they are angry.

"Zhao Chen, then you tell us, what equipment is still in the warehouse of the second battalion!!" Yuan Pengfei ordered casually.

"Yes, Battalion Commander." Zhao Chen faced the three company commanders with his black face, "At present, there are 86 guns in the warehouse of the battalion headquarters, 115 of the 38 big covers, 37 of the Hanyang Mansion, and seven other miscellaneous rifles, a total of 245 guns.

There were three Czech-style light machine guns, one Maxim heavy machine gun, one Type 92 heavy machine gun, and five crooked handles.

There were more than 1,000 grenades, and only two were distributed to the whole battalion. Also, the total number of bullets for various rifles is only 10,000 rounds, and the ammunition for machine guns is 8,000 rounds, so it's no problem to save a little bit to fight a battle. ”

245 guns, one for each recruit in their three companies, and there was still a surplus, and the light and heavy machine guns divided up the firepower of each company. However, as soon as the three company commanders showed joy, Yuan Pengfei poured cold water on them.

He shook the roster and said, "Don't think too beautifully, the battalion headquarters recruited 112 people today, and they have to be shot." So on average, recruits only get seventy and a half guns, and you figure out the rest.

I know you still have some bullets in your hands, and I don't bother to count the grenades, so I'll get 20 rounds for each rifle and one more for each recruit. ”

Chen Qiao recruited a large number of recruits, and the average plan was the best for him, so he was naturally overjoyed.

And Rao Guohua and Zhang Daming have a bitter face. This point of manpower has not yet made up for their respective companies, not to mention that two and a half of them do not fire, when will this combat effectiveness be raised.

Zhang Daming frowned and said with a bitter face: "Battalion commander, how can this be done, how long can 20 bullets last, and can a soldier without a gun fight the enemy with a burning stick?" ”

Although Rao Guohua did not say anything, the expression on his face betrayed him, and he was obviously very dissatisfied.

Yuan Pengfei glared at the two of them, "You two don't complain to me here, we used to fight against the brigade headquarters." If there are many captures, they will be sent to the brigade headquarters and distributed to other brother units, and if necessary, the logistics department will also replenish us with some guns, ammunition, grenades and so on.

But now it is different, our independent regiment is based in this base area, which is nearly 100 kilometers away from the brigade headquarters, and it will not fight large-scale operations. So the original set of ideas was put away for me.

Our regiment commander has said that he will be self-sufficient in the future, and he doesn't care about anything. I also tell you, if you have the ability, you can rob me of little devils, guns, ammunition, food and drink, everything.

But if you don't have the ability, you give me honest training, watching others eat meat and starve yourself. The battalion headquarters only hears good news, and it doesn't care if you have guns and ammunition. ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander."

The three of them stood up and saluted, as if they had been disciplined all at once.

However, after only three seconds, the fox's tail was revealed again.

Rao Guohua was the fastest, "Battalion commander, our self-sufficient guerrilla fight is a matter of the future, how can we assign light and heavy machine guns now!" ”

"yes, yes."

Chen Qiao and Zhang Daming also agreed very much, staring at Yuan Pengfei expectantly, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

Wang Zihu, who had not spoken, finally couldn't sit still at this moment, "The three of you think too beautifully, just order your belongings, you really want to divide your own things!" ”

"Rao Guohua, there are no fewer machine guns in your company, the two of them are Czech-style, four crooked handles, and none of them were left behind when cleaning the battlefield."

"Zhang Daming, the machine guns of your second company are enough, three Czech-style, three crooked handles, and more, is there that person to manipulate it?"

"Chen Qiao, although the remaining manpower of your third company is small, but there is no shortage of guns, I remember that there is also a Czech-style, a crooked handle, and you can take more than 50 melon grenades of the little devil."

The three company commanders were told a lot, but their faces were still not red and their hearts were not beating, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with fighting for weapons. If you can get a machine gun in batches, then they will definitely say, let the criticism come more violently!

Yuan Pengfei weighed it in his heart, knowing that it was his turn to come forward, he said: "There are only a few light machine guns, and the recruits at the battalion headquarters also need them." So, Chen Qiao, you take all the melon grenades and exchange them for a Czech style and two crooked handles for you. For the rest, don't worry about any of you, go and grab it from the little devils according to your ability. ”

Chen Qiao knew that this was the case, but he was still very happy. Rao Guohua and Zhang Daming didn't catch anything, and there was inevitably disappointment on their faces. However, Yuan Pengfei's next words made them a lot happier.

"Don't complain that I, the battalion commander, don't support you, there are only two heavy machine guns in total, and you can't divide them. In this way, each of your companies sends two heavy machine gun teams to learn how to operate heavy machine guns.

Whoever wants to fight and needs a heavy machine gun can come to the battalion headquarters to get it. Reinforcements are needed, and I, the battalion commander, personally led the troops to reinforce it, which is interesting enough! Yuan Pengfei behaved very arrogantly, it seemed that fighting a war was as easy as eating and drinking, and this reinforcement was also called for nothing.

In fact, there is no such thing as a vain job in this world, and Yuan Pengfei's dedication will only be revealed when they are in urgent need. At that time, they will have to say yes and promise, and they will have to say yes if they don't.

Just like Li Yunlong's lion who could hardly refuse the brigade commander's big mouth, the three of them couldn't escape such a fate. Who let the official level crush people to death!

The three of them didn't know about it yet, and now they were satisfied with Zhao Chen to get guns and ammunition, and when they tasted this taste in the future, they would regret it.

But when they went to the ammunition depot, another bad thing happened. The recruits at the battalion headquarters have already taken their guns in advance according to Yuan Pengfei's instructions, and the remaining rifles are really difficult to pick!

The largest number of 38 big covers was picked 84 pieces, and only 31 pieces remained, but this one really wants everyone. In the war with the devils, the most seized is the 38 big cover, and the bullets are also 6.5 mm caliber, which can be used when they are used, and there is no problem that the caliber of the bullets does not match.

Moreover, this rifle is relatively long, and it does not suffer a loss to fight with the devil after the bayonet, unlike the medium formal rifle, which is relatively short, and the bayonet has not yet stabbed the devil in the stomach, and the devil's 38 big cover will stab the warrior's chest open.

The 86 formal rifles are still relatively popular, and the imitation rifles ordered by the chairman of this award committee have a shorter range, and the accuracy is not as good as the 38 big cover, and the bayonet is also a little disadvantaged, but the power is still good, and it is much stronger than the 38 big cover.

The puppet army under the command of the devil, many people are holding this kind of rifle. They are very poor in combat, and it is easier to capture bullets from them, so this is also a more popular type of rifle.

The last remaining 37 Hanyang-made, old sleeves and 7 other miscellaneous rifles were not in a hurry. The Hanyang-made and old sleeve is actually a German obsolete M1888 rifle, but the old sleeve is reinforced with a layer of steel pipe on the outer barrel in order to prevent the explosion of the chamber. Hanyang-made directly thickened the barrel, without adding the old sleeve.

This gun is a representative of advanced weapons in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, but the rifling of many guns has been smoothed out until now, and the bullets are shot out, and the accuracy is extremely poor, and it is really a question whether it can fight devils.
