Chapter 842 Lobbyist, wandering around, on the eve of the war
Ambition?
Arrogant?
Shouldn't we be more arrogant towards the Japanese?
"Commander, even if this new machine gun is enough, isn't the logistical pressure too great..."
"A regiment has 117 mg42 general machine guns..."
"If they are fired at the same time, assuming that a mg42 general-purpose machine gun fires thousands of rounds of ammunition per minute, this... consumes 100,000 rounds of ammunition per minute?"
"commander……"
"If the consumption rate is this, Brother An Guo will probably cry to death..."
Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but sigh.
"So now we must pay attention to the mechanized operations of the troops."
"We need to train our own auto soldiers!"
"This is also one of my reforms to the infantry regiment..."
"Infantry regiment, we need to add an additional transportation company! Fifty trucks will be allocated!"
"There are currently not enough trucks, so pack horses, donkeys, mules, etc. will be used instead."
"The purpose is to provide long-distance transportation capabilities and ensure logistics..."
"Especially on rugged mountain roads, packhorses, donkeys and mules are indispensable."
"In addition, Wei Guo, I think if there is only one artillery reinforcement company in an infantry regiment, the firepower is still not enough, at least... not enough."
"There is also a separate infantry company with more than 100 people. It only has machine guns and no artillery. This is also a disadvantage."
"In the Japs' army, there are basically 54 Japs in a squad, with 4 subordinate squads. One of the squads is a grenade squad, equipped with three grenades..."
"But we have an infantry company of more than 100 people, but none of them belong to the artillery..."
"This is very inappropriate."
"Weiguo, I plan to set up an artillery squad directly under an infantry company, equipped with three 60mm2 mortars..."
"In this way, with an infantry company as the basic combat unit, we have both light and heavy firepower..."
"Only when an infantry company of ours faced a Japanese infantry squadron of 180 people, was it able to completely crush it with firepower!"
Fang Yu made gestures on the straw paper in front of him.
At this moment, the gleams of light in his eyes were flashing non-stop.
The mood seems particularly urgent!
These are all his plans and arrangements for the future...
Just to do this, an infantry company will need to be equipped with three more M2-type 60mm mortars, and a regiment with nine infantry companies will need to be equipped with 27 additional 60mm mortars.
Including the 27 60mm mortars equipped by the original artillery platoons of the three battalions, it is equivalent to 54 60mm mortars in an infantry regiment.
The popularity of 60mm mortars is particularly critical to increasing grassroots firepower.
"The commander is far-sighted..."
"If configured according to this firepower standard, even an infantry company can have 9 mg42 general-purpose machine guns and 3 m2 60mm mortars, plus more than 100 m1 Garand rifles, 9
98k sniper rifle..."
"Commander, with such firepower, it can completely crush a battalion of the Central Army or the Shanxi-Sui Army."
"If this infantry company is well-trained, it can rely on this firepower to withstand a regiment of the Jinsui Army or the Central Army..."
"Commander, what a big deal!"
"If the plan can really be implemented, it will indeed... be of great significance!"
"By the way, if you meet An Guo later, tell him too."
"Let Brother An Guo seize the time to recruit troops..."
"Our troops need to be expanded!"
"Continue to expand!"
"This army is too small."
"not enough!"
"In the future, our troops will be divided into field troops and guard troops."
"Field troops are mainly used to charge into battle and kill enemies in the field."
"As for the security force, as the name suggests, it is used to garrison the city."
"In Longcheng, the first Longcheng security regiment was established..."
"I don't know if Morita has mobilized the Longcheng security regiment in Longcheng."
"Already in Heyuan County, the Heyuan Garrison Group must also be built."
"Our Heiyun Mountain base will also build a Heiyun Guard Group..."
"As we occupy more and more cities, we will only need more security forces."
"We have a long way to go to defend our country."
Fang Yu held his forehead, feeling like he had a splitting headache.
It is never easy to lead an army well.
Zhou Weiguo listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
He could feel the firmness in the commander's tone.
"Commander, this expansion...how much do you want to expand?"
"I have a good idea...in my heart..."
Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath and couldn't help but said.
Fang Yu remained silent...
I gradually thought about it...
Then he stretched out two fingers.
"Twenty thousand?"
"Expand the troops to 20,000 people?"
"Commander, this is already the size of an army..."
Zhou Weiguo was shocked and his eyes were filled with horror...
This pace is too fast.
"Twenty thousand field troops."
"As for the security forces... at least three security regiments need to be mobilized. In addition to the Longcheng Security Regiment, the Heyuan Security Regiment and the Heiyun Security Regiment also need to be mobilized."
"Although I do not advocate mindless expansion of the troops, I have to admit that in the current war, the number of troops is the key to victory."
"Weiguo, the next step... our military front will be directed at the entire Jin Province!"
"Once Taiyuan is recaptured and the Japs in Taiyuan are destroyed, it will be equivalent to removing the last nail in the cap of the Japs in Jin Province!"
"This is the next comprehensive battle plan!"
"Of course, it is still a bit difficult to regain Taiyuan with the 10,000 field troops we currently have."
"So, we need to expand our army."
"Wait until this military expansion is over."
"When the troops are all trained..."
"Twenty thousand field troops..."
"We can definitely win Taiyuan!"
"Then the soldiers will point to the end of the enemy!"
"Weiguo, we can't always settle in a corner..."
"For the current overall situation of the Xia Kingdom, Jin Province is just a small piece of territory."
"The Xia Kingdom has great rivers and mountains, how can we allow these devils to trample on them?"
"We should strengthen ourselves!"
Fang Yu clenched his fists and spoke with every word! Sonorous and powerful!
"Weiguo will follow the commander to the death! Drive away the ghosts!"
Zhou Weiguo was also affected by Fang Yu's words at this moment.
When I heard this, my whole body felt extremely hot!
"commander!"
"good news!"
"good news!"
Outside, Wu Anguo's excited voice could be heard.
Wu Anguo, director of the Logistics Department, trotted all the way over with an excited smile on his face.
The mood is so wonderful!
When I ran to the door of the hall, I almost tripped over the door rail because I was so excited...
Seeing that Wu Anguo was about to throw him to pieces, the monk stopped him with a flying kick in time.
