"Brig Commander... do we have so many people now?"

Wang Shaoan looked at Zhang Yunqing with disbelief.

"There are so many people... This is specially counted by our brigade department..."

"Basically, the number of people can only be large, not small..."

Political Commissar Zhao Gang said from the side.

Only then did everyone believe Zhang Yunqing's words.

Zhang Yunqing also continued with a smile.

"This is just our current number of people..."

"Now I'll talk about our troops' restructuring..."

"In each infantry regiment, except for the 5th regiment, the first regiment and the second regiment are the original American infantry regiments."

"The Third Regiment and Fourth Regiment are Soviet-style infantry regiments."

"Each infantry regiment has three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion!"

Zhang Yunqing had just finished saying this and caused a sensation on the scene.

"What! Artillery battalion! Each of our regiments will add an artillery battalion..."

"My God... If there is an artillery battalion, we can kill all the Japanese in Xiyang County..."

Wang Shaoan, the leader of the third regiment, said with an excited look on his face.

In the past, there were artillery under each infantry regiment, and there were also many cannons.

However, there is still no special infantry battalion...

At least there has never been such an organization in other units of the Eighth Route Army...

Perhaps only Chu Yunfei's Jinsui Army strengthening regiment had an artillery battalion.

The 12th Brigade had only one artillery regiment, and almost all the artillery was concentrated in the hands of the artillery regiment, and there were relatively few infantry regiments below.

"If there is an artillery battalion, then each of our infantry regiments is a powerful force..."

"There is no big problem to fight head-on with the Japanese...

The second battalion commander Qian Chunsheng also said with a smile.

Their reactions were all very excited, after all, it was related to the development of their own troops.

After this battle, the brigade commander may have pulled them out and developed on their own like before...

With the blessing of the artillery battalion, isn’t this walking sideways on the western border of Shanxi?

"Don't be excited for now...I'm afraid you will be even more excited next..."

"Some of your artillery battalion soldiers were drawn out of our brigade artillery regiment..."

"Each artillery battalion gives you 15 60mm mortars, 6 90mm mortars, 4 120mm mortars, 6 70mm Type 92 infantry guns, 6 75mm field guns, 3 105mm caliber howitzers, 150mm

2 caliber howitzers, the shell tube is enough..."

Zhang Yunqing's words ignited the atmosphere of everyone present.

Good... This is a big deal...

So many cannons...

There are also heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100mm...

In total, there must be 50 cannons!

50 cannons in an infantry regiment!

This is something unheard of.

Take the Japanese infantry corps for example, they have no artillery brigade.

At most it is an artillery squadron.

General four-door type 41 75mm mountain cannon...

Four 37mm rapid-fire cannons...

Four-door Type 92 Infantry Cannon...

Each infantry brigade has 27 grenade launchers and two Type 92 infantry artillery.

But now every infantry regiment in the 12th Brigade has more guns than the Japanese infantry regiment...

This is so terrible... Just this firepower configuration, there is no problem with an infantry regiment sweeping across the northeast of Shanxi...

"Brig Commander...If we had this kind of cannon, we would definitely be able to kill Yangquan County..."

Wang Shaoan was still in an excited state.

"It's not working during this period... the number of Japanese devils is increasing... and they've been moving around in our Xiyang County... I'll talk about it after a while..."

Zhang Yunqing said casually.

This doesn't matter, everyone got another news.

That is, the brigade commander really wants to defeat Yangquan County!

"Each of your infantry battalion is divided into three infantry companies and one machine gun company..."

"There are infantry platoons and machine gun platoons under the infantry company..."

This was done completely according to the German army...

"But...you should configure the number of people by yourself..."

"If the equipment is not enough, you can ask the Ministry of Vehicles for instructions..."

"The first and second regiments are American infantry regiments... Your minimum equipment configuration must have 100 mg42 general machine guns!"

"Browning heavy machine guns 40!"

"20 anti-tank guns!"

"1,000 Thomson submachine guns!"

“60 motorcycles!”

"240 carriages! 700 horses!"

Zhang Yunqing looked at Zhang Dabiao and Qian Chunsheng, the leader of the Second Corps.

Then he looked at the leader of the Third Regiment and the Fourth Regiment.

"The same is true for your third and fourth groups..."

"But you have more configurations, I won't mention the Mosinnagan rifle, everyone has one..."

"120 dp light machine guns, 60 mg42 general machine guns!"

"1,000 Bobosha submachine guns!"

"Motorcycles and carriages, horses are like other groups..."

In fact, Zhang Yunqing didn't want this, it was too troublesome.

However, this is the system equipment, which is mostly Soviet and American.

If one weapon is used alone, another weapon will be thrown into the warehouse.

Now I am just a brigade, and it would be much better to say if I could quickly become a division or a higher-level army.

"Brig Commander...we have these things, and some do not, so what should we do?"

Wang Shaoan asked.

"You are like mg42 universal machine guns, and the number may not be enough now... I will make up for you later..."

"What I'm talking about is the minimum stipulation for you..."

"You can allocate yourself freely... but you still have to follow the organization I just divided..."

Zhang Yunqing explained one by one.

Just looking at the configuration of this firepower, it is much better than the Japanese infantry corps.

It would be more than enough to just take out an infantry regiment and fight the Japanese infantry regiment.

But now the situation is not suitable...

The 12th Brigade has a great reputation.

Even if you have powerful weapons and equipment, you may be attacked by some people...

It’s better to rest for a while and wait until the troops are reorganized.

This is just an infantry regiment...

The equipment that the 2,500-person army possesses is actually equipment that only a Japanese brigade or even a division...

Let's fight Yangquan first, just around the corner...
Chapter completed!
