Normal marches on foot are generally based on regiments, and the distance between battalions and battalions is no more than half a kilometer, and the distance between companies must be visible to each other and cannot be too far apart.
Generally, you can march several kilometers in a day, including big breaks and small breaks in the middle.
As for the urgent march, it should not be less than 60 kilometers a day.
Although it was not as impressive as the later wild-war army's 353rd Regiment of the 118th Division in Guangxi, which marched 140 kilometers day and night.
But the marching speed of the Sichuan army at this time is considered acceptable.
Of course, the most important thing is that they don’t carry many weapons and equipment.
Unlike those elite troops with deep pockets who can carry a rifle weighing more than 3 kilograms, a submachine gun, 100 rounds of ammunition weighing more than 5 kilograms, grenades, explosive bags, blasting tubes, kettles, and iron pickaxes.
, food for 7 to 9 days, some personal money and other things.
The troops even need people to carry heavy machine guns and artillery.
Therefore, there is a saying for those troops with well-equipped weapons and equipment in the future, which is called "whether you are a soldier or not, you have to carry fifty pounds on your back."
Of course, this sentence is inappropriate for the current Sichuan Army, because their weapons and equipment are too inferior, and even their own clothes are very shabby.
Therefore, although this march was also very tiring, they did not have to carry heavy weapons, equipment and ammunition, so they set off lightly.
At most, he was carrying a big sword, an old gun made by the old Han Yang, and even an old Mauser and a blunderbuss.
In short, it will not be all German rifles, other German weapons and equipment, and even Chinese formal rifles. For these Sichuan Army troops, they are good weapons and equipment, good guys, and good treasures.
So during the march, the Sichuan Army unit led by He Feiyang was a full company of about 120 people, composed of three platoons.
But almost half of their soldiers set out to fight with broadswords. Even the remaining ones who had firearms had old guns, and the ammunition was still very insufficient.
War is like a big stage for a performance. All the spotlights and the audience will focus their attention on the protagonist. In the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, the protagonist unit of the Sichuan Army was the "Iron Army of the Sichuan Army" -
—The 20th Army belongs to none other than the 20th Army.
But the current weapons and equipment of the Sichuan Army's 20th Army are really indescribably poor.
In the final analysis, it is still because of poverty.
At this time, the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army was a poor and clanking force.
So after seeing how shabby and poor the weapons, equipment and ammunition of the troops he led were,
He Feiyang was praying that the system in his mind would be kind-hearted so that he could get more weapons, equipment and ammunition in the subsequent random rewards.
As long as he has weapons, equipment and ammunition, he can rearm his troops and reduce their battle fatality rate.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the 120-man army he is leading now will be completely destroyed once they arrive at the flesh-and-blood mill where the Songhu battle took place.
120 people seems to be quite a lot.
But after entering the battlefield, it was not enough to be bombarded and bombarded by the Japanese's huge naval guns several times, and it would all be wiped out.
Thinking of these bad death rates, He Feiyang became irritable while marching.
But in the end, he still silently led his troops and continued to follow the Sichuan army, marching day and night. Even in rainy weather, he still marched wearing thin clothes.
Of course, when sleeping at night, he can take out a small amount of clothing and food rewarded by the system from his backpack or the system space given to him by the system, and secretly distribute them to his subordinates, and
Dress.
Of course, this also includes eating and dressing himself.
Although his behavior also aroused praise and heated discussions among his subordinates, because the things he brought out were only ordinary food and ordinary clothes, they did not cause everyone to discuss heatedly for a long time, let alone no
It attracted the special attention of other Sichuan troops.
So He Feiyang didn't have to explain where he got the food and clothing, and no one would pay attention to him.
But what depressed He Feiyang was that their army was marching too fast.
The Military Commission on the other side of the capital originally expected that it would take at least two months for Yang Sen's Sichuan Army's 20th Army to reach Changsha on foot and by boat.
However, as if possessed by a magical eunuch, the unit actually completed the entire journey in just over twenty days while traveling day and night.
This result not only shocked the Military Commission on the other side of the capital, but also Yang Sen himself was greatly shocked, because he himself estimated that it would take more than a month to reach Changsha by walking out of Sichuan so far away.
,
But the result was beyond his expectation, and the trip was actually shortened by more than half.
One can imagine the shock at this incident.
Therefore, the Military Commission specially commended Jansen's unit.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have survived another day today. Please accept your new reward immediately. The host will be rewarded with 1,000 grenades, plus a hundred medium-grade rifles, and 10,000 rounds of ammunition!"
"Host, please keep up your hard work and keep alive. As long as you can survive, there will always be rewards, and there will even be surprises from time to time!"
Just after Yang Sen's unit received a special commendation from the Military Commission, the system prompt in He Feiyang's mind rang again.
Then he received the prizes for being alive today. Of course, these prizes were all stored in the storage space in his mind, and only he could use his thoughts to take them out and store them there.
When He Feiyang heard that he was so lucky to win so many prizes today, he immediately smiled. This was the happiest day since he had been marching for almost a month.
The system had never been so generous before, rewarding him with so many weapons, equipment and ammunition every day he was alive, so it's no wonder he wasn't happy today.
Because the more weapons, equipment and ammunition he obtains, the longer he and his troops will be able to survive in the upcoming Battle of Songhu.
However, after arriving in Changsha, the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army did not rest for long; they immediately braved the heavy rain, changed to an iron-covered train, and continued to be transported to Wuchang.
After arriving at Chenxi, Hunan, they changed to the waterway to Changde, and then immediately changed to a ship and a tow boat to Changsha, and then continued to Wuchang Xujiapeng Station.
