Chapter 291: Intensive Training
readx;? Chen Yi and the others all changed their faces when they heard this, and Wang Weikuan asked: "Brother, how much did it cost you to pull up this team by yourself?" Wang Haitao said: "Counting it, not counting military salaries and daily expenses, there should be tens of millions of oceans of weapons and ammunition alone." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Yi said when he heard it: "Okay, guy, Commander Wang is really a rich man, it seems that we can fight a local tyrant today." Everyone laughed at the same time.
After a while, a guy came in and said carefully: "Commander Wang, the water is ready, please enter the pool." Wang Haitao got up and said, "Okay, take a bath." After saying that, he took off his clothes. After a while, several people took off their clothes, and Chen Yi said with a smile: "It's really 'honest with each other' now" Everyone laughed when they said this.
After getting off the pool, the water was changed and it was very clean. Soaking in the water, Chen Yi couldn't help but ask: "Commander Wang, how sure are you about a field division of the Japanese army?" Wang Haitao knew that they couldn't help but ask, and when there were many people, they couldn't ask, so he pulled them to take a bath and gave them a chance to ask. Wang Haitao also asked them to ask them, so that he could dispel their doubts, so that he could command more handily.
So after Chen Yi asked, Wang Haitao said with a smile: "Commander Chen doesn't know, this little Japan fights an offensive war, and there is only one tactic that is the same, that is, first bombard the defender's position with artillery, and then charge with infantry, after the infantry is repulsed, shell again, charge again with infantry, and repeat until the position is captured, or the defeat is retreated."
However, the Japanese artillery fire is still very fierce for ordinary troops or units like your New Fourth Army. After all, one wing of the Japanese army could have more than 30 artillery pieces. This level of shelling often resulted in heavy casualties to the defenders before the Japanese infantry could charge. But my troops are different, first of all, we will dig deep enough and strong enough anti-artillery holes in the position to make the Japanese artillery bombardment ineffective.
Secondly, we will use scouts to reconnoiter the exact location coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions, and then use our heavy artillery to knock out the Japanese artillery. The Japanese army without artillery is like a beast without minions, no matter how fierce it is, it can only be slaughtered by us. In addition, the weapons in the hands of our soldiers are far better than those in the hands of the Japanese army, do you think I have the confidence to deal with the invading Japanese army?"
Wang Haitao's words made Chen Yi and the others completely relieved, and after taking a happy bath, several people returned to the headquarters. Early the next morning, except for Commander Ye Ting, all the people of the New Fourth Army rushed back to the station. Wang Haitao, on the other hand, turned the command room into a joint command center. In the past few days waiting for the arrival of the soldiers of the New Fourth Army, General Ye Ting was not idle, but was accompanied by Wang Haitao to see the independent brigade's patrols, fortifications, heavy artillery regiments, and armored regiments.
In the past few days, the visit to the Independent Brigade made Ye Ting impressed by their strong strength. He also stiffened Wang Haitao, and only then did he give up after asking Wang Haitao to use new weapons to redress the special service battalion of the New Fourth Army. Wang Haitao was not unhappy about changing the clothes of the New Fourth Army's special service battalion, Wang Haitao was just afraid that the soldiers of the New Fourth Army would be accustomed to economy and would not be able to fight the effect of new weapons.
Seven days later, the 1st and 2nd detachments of the New Fourth Army and the special service battalion all arrived in Jing County. They were accompanied by a reconnaissance battalion with information that the 101st Division of the Japanese Army had all assembled in Wuhu City. Intelligence also said that in addition to the 101st Division, the Japanese army also had an independent heavy artillery wing that would operate with the same 01st Division.
In the joint command, Wang Haitao showed this information to Ye Ting and said: "Commander Ye, it seems that the Japanese army is running out of time for us, your troops must hurry up for training, and the change of equipment of the special service battalion must also be hurried." Ye Ting said: "Yes, you have to hurry up." After speaking, Ye Ting turned to Chen Yi and the others and said: "You take the troops to the barracks immediately, someone will train you, and the special service battalion will go to the warehouse to prepare to receive new equipment, and all the existing equipment will be handed over to the second detachment for use." ”
Chen Yi and the others went out immediately, and each took the team to the destination. Previously, Wang Haitao had already arranged the training, and Chen Yi's team was responsible for intensive training by the second battalion and the third company of the independent regiment. Zhang Dingcheng's second detachment was trained by the fourth battalion and three companies of the independent regiment. As for the refitting and training of the special battalion, Wang Haitao specially drew a company from the first battalion of the guard regiment to train them.
The weapons used by the special service battalion and the first detachment of the New Fourth Army are the Japanese-style weapons that Su Yu brought back last time, which is the best equipment in the New Fourth Army, while the second detachment uses the equipment replaced by the first detachment and the special service battalion. This time, the special service battalion handed over several hundred pieces of Japanese-style equipment to the second detachment at once, but Zhang Dingcheng, the commander of the second detachment, was very happy.
When the special battalion came to the warehouse, the soldiers of the guard regiment were already waiting for them in the warehouse, and the open space in front of the warehouse was a battalion's standard new equipment, which Wang Haitao did not take out after receiving it from Guangzhou during the Chinese New Year, of course, the ammunition received was far more than the equipment of one battalion, and now Wang Haitao's hands are equipped with the new weapons brought back from the Jurong base this time, which is enough to equip another brigade.
The officers and men of the New Fourth Army were attracted by the boxes of weapons and ammunition in front of them, and at this time, the company commander of the third company of the first battalion of the guard regiment stood up, saluted Wang Weikuan, who was standing at the head of the special agent team, and said: "You are Wang Weikuan, the commander of the special service battalion, right?" Wang Weikuan returned a military salute and nodded and said, "I am Wang Weikuan." ”
The company commander said: "Hello, I am Wu Haotian, the commander of the third company of the first battalion of the Independent Brigade Guard Regiment, and I am ordered to hand over the standard equipment of a battalion to your unit and conduct intensive training for your unit. A standard battalion of our unit is divided into three infantry companies, one fire company, one infantry company consists of three infantry platoons and one fire platoon, each infantry platoon is divided into three squads, each squad leader and deputy squad leader is one and one deputy squad leader, and 12 soldiers.
The armament is as follows: each squad leader and deputy squad leader are equipped with a shell gun, two of the twelve fighters are light machine gunners, the main shooter is equipped with a German light machine gun, the deputy shooter is equipped with a shell gun, and the remaining ten soldiers are each equipped with a German-style submachine gun with four magazines, and each of the eight people is equipped with a German-style semi-automatic rifle with 100 bullets.
The firepower platoon was equipped with one German-style heavy machine gun, two German-style light machine guns, two 60 mortars, eight shell guns, 20 German-style semi-automatic rifles, and eight submachine guns. The firepower company was equipped with four German-style heavy machine guns, eight German-style light machine guns, four 60-0 mortars, four 82-type mortars, 24 shell guns, 30 German-style submachine guns, and 50 German-style semi-automatic rifles. In addition, the infantry was armed with four grenades. Now, I would like to ask Battalion Commander Wang to organize a special service battalion according to this formation, and then receive weapons and ammunition. ”
The establishment of the New Fourth Army will not be so rigorous at all, according to the standard, a battalion is 534 officers and soldiers, and the special service battalion, including Wang Weikuan, is only 486 people.
After these brand-new guns were issued to the soldiers, the soldiers excitedly hugged the weapons tightly in their arms. They used to use Japanese weapons that were already a great thing, but now the whole battalion was equipped with German-style equipment, and each of them received a marching backpack, which was full of things that they had never seen before.
Few of these soldiers could get a good night's sleep, and most of the soldiers fell asleep with their guns in their arms, and the officers and men who were assigned to the shell guns looked at the brand-new German-made 20-shot shell guns in their hands, and almost everyone was so excited that almost everyone used the new towels in their backpacks to wipe their guns. Even Wang Weikuan is no exception. Early in the morning, the entire special battalion assembled at the training ground, hoping that the soldiers of the guard company would train them in the use of these firearms.
Without waiting for a while, the soldiers of the third company of the first battalion of the guard regiment ran into the training ground under the leadership of the company commander Wu Haotian. After the two sides stood face to face, Wu Haotian said to the soldiers of the special service battalion: "What you are holding in your hands now is an all-German weapon, and compared with domestic weapons and Japanese weapons, German-style weapons are more automatic and have more powerful firepower. One of our battalion fighters with this weapon can completely block the attack of a wing of the Japanese army when fighting a positional war. Now I will explain the structure and use of German weapons. ”
Then Wu Haotian started with the semi-automatic rifle, and when he explained all the weapons, three hours had passed. Within three hours, Wu Haotian was the only one on the entire training ground, and these officers and men of the special service battalion were listening to the explanation with all their attention, for fear of missing a word.
After Wu Haotian finished explaining, Wu Haotian finally said: "The following soldiers who use various weapons will go to your instructors separately, and they will conduct detailed training for you. After Wu Haotian finished speaking, four soldiers came out of the queue behind him and shouted: "Artillerymen, bring mortars and come with me." The fighters assigned to the mortar group in the special service battalion hurriedly carried the disassembled mortars and followed behind the four fighters.
Then the machine gun group, the submachine gun group, the semi-automatic rifle group, and the shell gun group each had their instructors to take the officers and men of the special service battalion to leave, and even Wang Weikuan also went to the shell gun group, and another task of him and several company commanders was to convey what they had heard and learned to the soldiers who had been assigned to the shell guns in other groups. At this point, the intensive training of the New Fourth Army began in full swing.
Wang Haitao, Ye Ting, Chen Yi, and Zhang Dingcheng did not have time to pay attention to the training situation, and they always paid attention to the various Japanese intelligence sent by the reconnaissance group. Judging from all aspects of intelligence, the Japanese army has made great efforts to completely eliminate the ** troops in Jing County this time. Not only was the 101st Division, an entire field division, assembled in Wuhu City, but the 22nd Division in Huzhou also sent an infantry wing and a mountain artillery brigade to advance in the direction of Xuancheng.
The 114th Division of the Japanese Army in Hangzhou also assembled the 127th Brigade and the Field Artillery Wing, as well as a cavalry brigade, apparently preparing to attack Jing County again. In the face of this information, Wang Haitao didn't have anything, but Ye Ting and they were calm again. Because the Japanese army attacking Jing County this time will reach 23,000 people, and Jing County will barely have 7,000 people including the New Fourth Army.
