After the fifth battalion commander Du Aiguo finished talking about the firepower allocation of the fifth battalion, his face was quite aggrieved: "Regiment commander, the five battalions of our regiment belong to the worst firepower allocation of our five battalions, and the development of equipment is too slow. ”

From the point of view of the independent regiment, the firepower configuration of these five battalions is indeed at the bottom.

Kong Jie's old face couldn't help but twitch, the fifth battalion commander, this kid can definitely be described in five words - "Old Versailles".

Faced with the fifth battalion commander's serious call for poverty, Kong Jie looked at the first battalion commander Wang Leihu and said, "First battalion commander, tell me about the equipment of our independent regiment at the beginning of last year. ”

"Yes!" Wang Leihu replied and said with a smile: "Regiment commander, if you want to say that at the beginning of last year, the equipment of our independent regiment was really incomparable with now, I remember that we fought a transport team of devils in Xiaolingou."

At that time, as soon as the three battalion commanders reported their family background, the regiment commander, you were dumbfounded.

Take our first battalion as an example, the first battalion has always been the best-equipped battalion of our independent regiment.

But there are more than 350 people in the whole battalion, there are only 250 rifles, and there are only 4 light machine guns.

Those who hold guns can count the bullets they get per capita.

Not to mention the small number of light machine guns, the reserve ammunition did not exceed 200 rounds.

Later, the regiment commander ordered the rifles, machine guns, bullets, and grenades of the three battalions to be concentrated in one battalion, and the recruits of the first battalion were replaced with veterans. ”

Wang Leihu said that the situation of backward equipment and scarce ammunition of the independent regiment in the past seemed to be just around the corner.

Kong Jie said: "Patriot, you joined our independent regiment later, I am afraid that I don't know much about the situation of our independent regiment at the beginning of the year, now I will let Lei Hu tell you to listen, what do you think of the equipment of your five battalions?" ”

Du Aiguo stopped talking, the two can't be compared at all.

Wang Leihu said with a smile: "It's no exaggeration to say that the firepower configuration of your five battalions now, one battalion, even exceeds that of one regiment of our independent regiment at the beginning." ”

Kong Jie said: "In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, our equipment was very poor, that is, we had a regular infantry regiment with a number, except for the standard strength, which was about 2,700 people, and the lack of other firepower configuration was distressing. ”

"At that time, our Eighth Route Army had only one mountain artillery company and six mortar companies, and the artillery shells were still quite limited, and one artillery was only twenty or thirty shells.

"If it is divided evenly in this way, each regiment can only be assigned one mortar, and just like that, it is still a regular infantry regiment with a number, and it is not the turn of our independent regiment at all.

Remember the Battle of Cangyunling, right?

If I hadn't gotten the mortar of Lao Li's new regiment before the battle, how could our independent regiment have the result of killing the headquarters of the Sakata Wing with one shot? ”

"At that time, each infantry company was only equipped with three light machine guns, and the infantry battalion could also be equipped with several heavy machine guns, but the light and heavy machine gun models were complex, seriously aging, and there was a serious shortage of ammunition."

"Our division has only more than 50,000 rounds of light and heavy machine gun ammunition, less than 800 rounds of ammunition for each heavy machine gun, and only about 300 rounds for each light machine gun."

"As for the rifles used in the main battle, we had numbered regular infantry regiments at that time, such as the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, which were the absolute main force of our brigade at that time."

"The whole regiment is equipped with more than 1,000 guns, and the models are still very complex, as far as our division's rifles are concerned, there are more than a dozen gun types, some of which are already unusable, the rifling is almost smoothed, and the per capita bullet is less than ten rounds."

"Only two or three people can carry a gun, and there are very few bayonets, most of the rifles at that time did not have bayonets on them, and there were only fifty-five bayonets in our division, which was not enough to equip two platoons."

"Speaking of which, you think it's going to be hard, but where is that?"

"Later, when we fight with the little devils, sacrifice is inevitable, and the army must be expanded, right? With the expansion of the troops, the weapons and ammunition we have at hand are limited, and the standard of actual weapons has also declined. ”

"For example, a combat unit like our independent regiment that is not ranked at all in the battle sequence of the national army."

"When it was first formed, there was not a single heavy machine gun in the whole regiment, only one or two light machine guns, and no more than 100 rounds of ammunition were spared for machine guns, and less than three bullets per person were available, so only three people could carry a gun."

"Every time I fight with the devil, I put two or three guns and run, and the little devil laughs at us, saying that we are three guns and eight roads, but is the devil wrong? They were right, the three bullets were used up, and if we didn't withdraw again, we would have to fight with the little devils with bayonets. ”

"But is that a bayonet? The devils are holding bayonets, and we don't even have enough kitchen knives. ”

"But with such backward equipment and scarce ammunition, in less than a year, our independent regiment has developed and has the scale it is looking at."

"Now if you look at it again, he has four or five heavy machine guns and more than 30 light machine guns in one battalion of five battalions.

"Tell me, is this like a word?"

As soon as Kong Jie said this, the battalion commander who came back to his senses, as well as the instructors, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Even Du Aiguo, the commander of the fifth battalion, scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

To say that the equipment of the fifth battalion is somewhat deficient compared with several other battalions, but this kind of firepower configuration is much better than when he was the commander of the North China Security Army.

Du Aiguo said with a smile: "Regiment commander, you say this, it's really such a situation, you see that our fifth battalion now has a squad of twelve people, basically can be divided into a light machine gun, a 50 small cannon (the name of the grenadier canister), in addition, the squad leader is also equipped with a barge gun, and the team can also get one or two submachine guns as melee firepower."

How powerful is such a firepower configuration?

We know that this devil's squad, even if it is the infantry combat squad of the A Division, is only equipped with two light machine guns and two grenadiers.

And their squad, the standard number of people is between 54 and 72 people, which is about the strength of our two platoons.

If we have two platoons, there will be six light machine guns and six 50 small cannons, which is three times the number of devils, which to some extent, our firepower configuration is enough to crush the little devils. ”

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, said: "This is the truth, in the past year or so, the development of our independent regiment, sometimes I feel like a dream.

Now we have what the devils have, and we have what the devils don't have, and there are more of them than the little devils.

We can produce grenades, as well as explosives bags produced by Feitian powder, the devil's weapons have been captured, and we can repair the damaged ones, and we can still transform them if the performance is not good.

Take this devil's grenadier as an example, take it back, our repair institute will become a 50 small cannon, the power is greater than the devil's, the range is farther than the devil's, once on the battlefield, our 50 small cannon can press the devil's grenadier to fight.

That's it, two days ago, I went to the repair shop, and Dong San told me that the repair shop is still tinkering with guns and grenades recently!

So I asked, what is this grenade?

Director Dong told me that it is a weapon that can fire modified grenades with a rifle, and can throw the grenade to a distance of more than one or two meters.

Now it's okay, let's calculate from the distance, within 30 to 40 meters, let's cover it with grenade fire, after 40 meters, let's cover it with this grenade firepower, and then back, our light and heavy machine gun firepower, as well as the 50 small guns in the rear, good guys, basically the whole process of firepower coverage, if we start a positional war again, we are not worthy of his little devils. ”

After Shen Quan finished speaking, the cadres couldn't help but applaud.

In the past, because of backward equipment and scarce ammunition, I was pressed and beaten by devils, but now I can finally be ashamed.

Kong Jie said: "This is also what I want to tell you, in the past, our independent regiment had poor equipment and insufficient ammunition.

But even under such difficult conditions, we can still win every battle, and now the equipment of your battalions and companies is up, if you don't fight brilliantly and insult the name of our independent regiment, I think you guys who are battalion commanders and instructors still have old faces? ”

Shen Quan immediately said: "Regiment leader, you can take a good look, if there is a big war, sooner or later, this little devil will have to know how powerful our independent regiment is." ”

Kong Jie said: "Let's talk about the equipment first, I still have to remind you who are battalion commanders and instructors that we used to have poor equipment, so we have this kind of phobia in firepower."

What does that mean? Whenever we think of a way, we always want to get more equipment from our own team. ”

"It's like a person who has been hungry all the year round, and suddenly becomes a rich man, and then he must have to eat every meal from now on."

"But what I want to remind you is that this is putting the cart before the horse, losing your heart."

"Our Eighth Route Army can fight against the little devils in the difficult environment behind enemy lines, and has insisted on developing and growing until now, what does it rely on?

Is it relying on weapons that are gradually being equipped?

No, it depends on the combat consciousness of our soldiers; It depends on the unity of our team; It depends on our continuous exploration and progress in actual combat; Relying on our close integration with the masses of the people is the fundamental magic weapon for us to win. ”

"Therefore, while strengthening weapons and equipment, our battalions must not relax for a moment in military training, as well as military and political education for soldiers."

"In the past, you always said that the equipment of the national army is good, but it is a typical example of standing in the pit and not, and all the good equipment is given to the little devils, and now our equipment is also good, you have to set an example, so that those national soldiers can take a good look at how the equipment at hand is used to fight."

"Yes—"

The cadres who were reminded by Kong Jie's words responded in unison and benefited a lot.

Then turning to the topic, Kong Jie said: "Deal with the problem of surplus guns and ammunition that our independent regiment now has in stockpile.

The size of our team is to be considered for further growth.

But this matter must be done steadily, and the foundation must not be damaged.

The Fifth and Fourth Battalions have a slightly unstable foundation compared with the three veteran battalions, and the scale of this expansion should not be carried out too quickly; a number of good seedlings should be selected from the ranks of the local army and militia, and the number of new platoons should be temporarily increased, and the number of troops could be slightly larger, and the initial number should be set at about 60 people.

Bring this group of recruits out and form them into the ranks.

As for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions, you can temporarily add a new recruit company, and after the recruit company has completed its training, the establishment of the recruit company will be abolished and the recruit team will be added to your battalion units.

Our regimental and battalion-level establishment remains unchanged for the time being, and your three battalions can consider pulling out the fourth or fifth combat company. ”

"Yes!"

The cadres responded, and the faces of the battalion commanders were full of joy, and they were finally able to expand the army again.

Kong Jie added with a smile: "Comrades, the development and growth of our independent regiment is just starting at the moment, and the equipment will be better and the scale will be larger in the future, and then the cadres will be very scarce."

After returning to the troops, you battalion commanders and instructors should do a good job in all aspects of the work in the battalion on the one hand, and on the other hand, you should focus on training military cadres. ”

"For example, the deputy battalion commanders of your battalions, those of you who are battalion commanders and instructors, you have to mention more when you have nothing to do, and after the battalion level is expanded in the future, they will definitely have to be on top."

"Of course, this is also our old tradition of dealing with operational emergencies, the battalion commander is gone, the deputy battalion commander is gone, the deputy battalion commander is gone, and the company commander is on top, this spirit of the old Red Army must continue to be carried forward and passed on."

"After the recruits enlist in the army, on the one hand, they will step up military affairs and military training and study, so that they can adapt to the rhythm of our independent regiment as soon as possible."

"On the other hand, only by keeping in mind the history of the regiment can our troops go further, and we must tell you more about the experience of our independent regiment along the way."

"After entering our independent regiment, this is a big family, if you don't even know the history of our independent regiment, then how can you be regarded as a soldier of our independent regiment?"

"Wen Jie, I'll leave this task to you, young man, you have energy."

"Yes, please rest assured that the regiment commander will complete the task!" Li Wenjie, the instructor of the fifth battalion, responded.

Then the meeting continued, and the cadres discussed matters concerning the expansion of the troops, as well as the construction of defense and various aspects.

The meeting lasted more than an hour before it ended.

……

……

But say the other side.

On that day, Li Yunlong took the team and the Sancheng equipment he had been assigned to return to the station of the new second regiment from the independent regiment, with his old face black all the way, and he couldn't see a smile.

When he returned to the station, the commander of the second battalion led people to greet him from afar.

As the two sides approached, the eyes of the second battalion commander focused on the team.

Li Yunlong, who had just hit the muzzle of the gun and was robbed by the brigade commander with a word of Wishing you prosperity, was not in a good mood and scolded: "Mother, don't look at it, you haven't caught any fart." ”

After speaking, Li Yunlong broke away from the team and walked in the direction of the regiment headquarters.

The second battalion commander was a little dumbfounded when he was scolded, and looked at the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao, "Da Biao, what's the situation?" Could it be that the process of dealing with the recalcitrant 251 Regiment was not smooth this time? ”

Zhang Dabiao said: "Why didn't it go well? It's just that it went too smoothly, and when I went, I wiped out the devil squadron, and by the way, I surrendered all the guns of the 251st Regiment. ”

The commander of the second battalion looked at the few rifles that he didn't bring back in the team, and said in amazement: "No, the 251st Regiment also has two or three thousand people, how can you get this little equipment back?" ”

Zhang Dabiao smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it, we originally won the battle, and the head of the regiment invited our comrades who participated in the war this time to go to the independent regiment for New Year's dinner, and the regiment commander was very interested, so he took us to go, and guess what?" ”

"Good fellow, the brigade commander and the leaders, they are all waiting at the headquarters of the independent regiment! As soon as the regiment commander entered the house, he hit the muzzle of the gun, you said that this is the New Year, the two regiment commanders are not at the regiment headquarters, and they went to seize such a large batch of equipment and came back, can the brigade commander be unhappy when he sees it? When I left, I packed two-thirds of the way with me. ”

Second Battalion Commander: "......"

"That's it, originally according to the distribution we agreed with Regiment Commander Kong this time, our new second regiment can also be divided into at least more than 600 rifles, three or five heavy machine guns, and two mountain artillery."

"All that's left for now is this heavy machine gun, as well as more than 200 rifles, and some military supplies."

The second battalion commander was also stunned: "No, this is too unlucky, no wonder the regiment commander is in a bad mood." It's just that, Da Biao, I'm afraid that there is something embarrassing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You know, our new second regiment has just been formed, the foundation is thin, although it has also won a lot of battles since its formation, and when our regiment commander was the deputy head of the independent regiment, he also saved a lot of money, but the situation of our regiment, more than 1,500 comrades are basically the standard configuration of a rifle per person, there is no superfluity, these days the army has been expanded, and a lot of troops have been added, and this gun is even more scarce."

"Before the regiment commander took your battalion to fight the 251st Regiment this time, he said that if he went out to fight this time, he would be able to get at least five or six hundred rifles back."

"So......" The second battalion commander scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "At that time, the regiment commander was in high spirits, and with a wave of his hand, he took out a batch of rifles from the team and gave them to the comrades of the local army, but now, ...... As a result, you brought back this bit of equipment......"

The second battalion commander didn't finish his words, but Zhang Dabiao reacted immediately, and said with a sluggish face: "What do you mean is that after this gun is sent out, our soldiers don't have enough guns at hand, right?" ”

The corners of the second battalion commander's mouth were full of bitterness, "Who said it wasn't?" At that time, when the soldiers heard that the regiment commander could bring five or six hundred good guns with him when he came back this time, how could they hesitate, and hurriedly threw the old guns in their hands that they had long wanted to replace to the local army comrades. ”

Zhang Dabiao: "......"

Early the next morning.

The second battalion commander was afraid of being scolded, so he didn't dare to report it, so he asked Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, to report this matter to Zhang Dabiao, who could only report the matter to Li Yunlong in response.

New 2nd Regiment, regimental headquarters.

Li Yunlong scolded directly, "Damn, if people are unlucky these days, they can fucking smash their heels when they fart, why do you let Lao Tzu encounter any unlucky things?" ”

Zhang Dabiao, who had a wry smile on his face, stood aside, stunned and didn't dare to interject casually.

"Da Biao, I said what the hell did you kid do, we haven't got the equipment here yet, why did you distribute the guns to the local army first?"

Li Yunlong said this too wrongly, Zhang Dabiao said aggrievedly: "Regiment commander, the matter was handled by the commander of the second battalion, and the order was given by yourself, should you forget?" ”

"My order?"

"Hmm!"

Lao Li suddenly had a toothache, yes, he had to solve the stupid things he did even if he was kneeling.

Sure enough, in the morning, the unwitting company commanders arrived.

What are you doing here?

Pretend to be poor!

The commander of the ninth company led a platoon of troops, and his hands were empty, and when he saw them, he began to cry: "Regiment commander, according to your order, I have taken out all the guns commonly used by the comrades and given them to the comrades of the local army."

Commander, you promised to issue a new gun, why hasn't there been any movement yet? Everyone can't wait, so let's ask about the situation together. ”

The commander of the seventh company also took a squad of soldiers, I don't know where he got the same old sleeve, and when he met, he called him poor:

"Commander, look at it, the other companies have all used the 38 style and Hanyang to make them, and we haven't even changed the old sleeve yet! You've captured the equipment this time, so you'll have to hold on to our equipment first. ”

"Captain!"

"Commander—"

“……”

The voices calling poor made Li Yunlong feel a headache, and Li Yunlong couldn't help but scold: "Okay, don't make any noise, can you all have a little bit of talent, what is it called poor?" Isn't it just a gun, I'll find a way for you. ”

Li Yunlong, who scolded the company commanders from the regiment headquarters, had no choice but to bring some gifts, take the guard Huzi, and go to the county brigade.

…… Damn, the gun that our Lao Li accidentally gave you wants to come back for the time being, isn't it too much?
