Chapter 574: Type 92 is not worthy of my artillery battalion!
When Yang Yuanshan walked out of the north gate of Shuiquan City, he saw that the soldiers of the special task force had been divided into several groups and were conducting basic password training.
Han Yang, He Yunfu, and Wang Quanfa are serving as instructors and are giving orders.
Seeing Yang Yuanshan come out, Han Yang hurriedly handed over the team to the others, and walked over to greet him:
"Captain, you're up."
"Well, the big guy was so tired yesterday that I didn't bother to ask, how many casualties did we have in total in the battle of Barley Valley?"
"933 people were killed and 1,341 were seriously wounded.
Among them, the artillery battalion sacrificed the most, and Gao Yuanzhi said that many soldiers were killed by the aerial bombs of the little devils, and even the bones were confiscated.
In addition, Monk Wei and Xizi have not returned yet, so the casualties of the special operations company and the sharpshooter squad have not been counted. β
Han Yang replied.
There was some sadness on his face.
Thinking of those sacrificed soldiers, I feel a little uncomfortable.
"Good fellows, we lost nearly 2,200 people in the first battle!
Far more than half of the casualties! β
Yang Yuanshan was also taken aback.
The main infantry battalion of the special service regiment has 1,500 people, and before the battle of Damai Valley, due to the troops in Xiashou County, Heyuan County, and Shuiquan County, each battalion suffered a slight loss.
Therefore, the second battalion, the third battalion, the artillery battalion, and the guard company together are only worth 4,000 people.
But now, with 2,200 people lost in the first battle, it was definitely a nerve-wracking.
He instantly understood that it was not a fluke that he could kill 9,000 little devils this time!
It is the result of the soldiers of the special service group fighting to the death with their own blood!
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, and he hurriedly said:
"Record the names of these sacrificed soldiers, turn them back to Political Commissar Zhao, and apply for the title of martyr for them!"
"Yes!
Commander, don't worry, this is the habit of our special service group every time they finish a battle.
You don't need to remind you, our company and platoon commanders will report to the top. β
Han Yang nodded.
"Have all the seriously wounded been sent back to the Xingshupo Field Hospital?"
"Zhao Li is doing this, and he should have sent it away."
"Good.
At this moment, Dean Liang estimated that it was time for a headache, and with so many wounded, their field hospital should definitely be too busy. β
Yang Yuanshan seemed to see the scene of Tian Yu sweating profusely, driving ducks to the shelves, and being forced to operate on the wounded with unskilled skills, and couldn't help but smile.
"Regiment commander, our battle is getting bigger and bigger, and this field hospital is really not enough.
In my opinion, we have to find a way to expand another field hospital. β
Han Yang suggested.
"I don't want to build it?
Where did the doctor come from?
I sent 8 X-ray machines to the field hospital at the headquarters, but I only got so many doctors! β
Yang Yuanshan gave him a blank look.
I despise this guy very much, and he doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks.
Han Yang couldn't help but smile embarrassedly when he heard this, and he knew in his heart that he was whimsical.
The training of doctors is not a matter of time and a half!
"With so many people lost, how did you fill up the staff now?"
Yang Yuanshan pointed to the soldiers who were training and asked, he glanced at it and estimated that there should be about 3,000 people here.
"The shortage of the artillery battalion was solved by Wang Gensheng himself.
Didn't you ask him to recruit 1,000 recruits for training?
The vacancies of the second and third battalions basically absorbed the new first and second battalions, and I asked Lao He to go to Political Commissar Zhao to help recruit two or three hundred militiamen, and it was almost the same. β
Han Yang replied.
"Good. What about weapons and equipment, what is missing? β
Yang Yuanshan nodded.
"Nothing is missing.
Early this morning, our soldiers found a large amount of equipment in a small alley in the city.
There are mountain artillery, infantry guns, heavy machine guns and so on, which are just right for us. β
Han Yang's eyes were fixed on Yang Yuanshan, as if he wanted to see some secret.
Yang Yuanshan pretended to be indifferent and said:
"Really? That's great!
Now we can beat up the little devils again. β
Then forcibly change the subject:
"Let's train faster, we shouldn't have too much time.
I went to ask my superiors how to fight this battle next. β
As he spoke, he patted Han Yang on the shoulder.
Turn around and leave.
When Han Yang saw him like this, he knew that he must know the origin of this batch of equipment, but he didn't investigate the root cause anymore.
He was about to turn around and continue to train the soldiers, when he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Regiment commander, the deputy commander of the first battalion Zhan sent a telegram saying that the little devil in the direction of Yuci did not move.
Shall we send two new companies to Shou County to replace the two veteran companies?
This can increase the proportion of veterans in our two battalions, so as not to resist the big battle later, these recruits can't withstand it! β
"No, I don't.
Just because the little devil hasn't moved now doesn't mean he won't move in the future.
I always feel that Kazuo Shinozuka, an old devil, has been a little too quiet during this time, and it seems that some conspiracy is brewing. β
The matter of a man Shinozuka hiding in the hospital pretending to be sick is only known to the high-level of the little devils, and no one knows about our army in the northwest of Shanxi.
That's why Yang Yuanshan has such doubts.
"Regiment leader, isn't this because the little devil is fighting in Jinnan, and the troops are empty?"
Han Yang was puzzled.
"The emptiness of troops is certainly the biggest reason, but I think that the little devil really has the heart, and it may not be difficult to forcibly transfer two or three brigades from various cities around Jinyang."
Yang Yuanshan explained.
Hearing him say this, Han Yang also nodded, feeling that there was a little bit of truth.
I don't insist anymore.
However, as soon as he reminded him, Yang Yuanshan immediately confessed again:
"Let Wu Jun send a telegram to Haishan, asking him to recruit 1,000 recruits in the villages of the base area and strengthen training.
After this battle, I am going to form a few more main infantry battalions, and I will need a lot of new soldiers at that time. β
"Yes, I'll arrange it."
β¦β¦
Leaving Hanyang, Yang Yuanshan walked to the artillery battalion again and looked at the training of the artillery battalion.
Seeing that Gao Yuanzhi and Wang Gensheng cooked the artillery battalion clearly, they couldn't help but be very satisfied.
However, seeing that there were now 17 mountain guns left in the artillery battalion, he immediately called Gao Yuanzhi and arranged:
"Yuanzhi, there is a batch of mountain cannons in Hanyang, you can bring someone to get it back."
"What? And mountain artillery?
That's great!
I'm still wondering if I should get some Type 92 infantry guns to fill the faΓ§ade! β
Gao Yuanzhi was immediately very excited.
Just now he was still having a headache with Wang Gen, and there were only 17 mountain guns left in the whole battalion, how should they be distributed.
According to Yang Yuanshan's orders, Wang Gensheng recruited 1,000 new recruits, which brought the number of the entire artillery battalion to more than 1,700 people.
On average, a mountain cannon has to be fiddled with by a hundred people, which is really pitiful!
"Haha, that thing of infantry artillery is only worthy of supporting firepower at the battalion and company level.
If your artillery battalion is equipped, it will be a shame on my Yang Yuanshan!
He Chu Yunfei's artillery battalion still has 12 75mm mountain guns, and the artillery battalion of my special service regiment can still use infantry guns? β
Yang Yuanshan was very contemptuous of the authentic way.
The Type 92 infantry cannon hit a turret or something, which is okay.
But like this time, in a battle of this level like the Barley Valley Blockade, this thing has a short range and little power, so it is simply useless!
The opponent can use a few mountain guns to hang dozens of infantry guns.
"Haha, Captain, you're right.
Type 92 is indeed only suitable for battalion and company-level equipment. β
Gao Yuanzhi smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart: The head of the regiment is so courageous!
The other regiments of our army, who doesn't make two 92 styles as baby bumps?
β¦β¦
As soon as he came back from Gao Yuanzhi, Yang Yuanshan met the correspondent sent by Li Yunlong to find him:
"Commander Yang, the leader has returned from Guhe Village, and asked you to go to the headquarters for a meeting."
β¦β¦
