I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 444: Our artillery battalion must be able to defeat the Japanese artillery regiment!

Hougou Village, Secret Service Regiment Headquarters.

After talking about the infantry battalion, it’s the artillery battalion’s turn.

Yang Yuanshan then said to Wang Gensheng, commander of the first artillery company, and Gao Yuanzhi, commander of the second artillery company:

"You two artillery companies are going to be reorganized into an artillery battalion this time. Who do you think is more suitable for the position of battalion commander?"

Hearing this, Wang Gensheng and Gao Yuanzhi were immediately surprised.

None of them thought that Yang Yuanshan would kick the ball to them.

This is too ungrateful!

This forced them both to look at themselves and each other.

They all know that this question is difficult to answer!

In the end, it was the honest Wang Gensheng who stood up first:

"Captain, I think Lao Gao is more suitable to be the battalion commander.

He has a higher level of education than me, can shoot accurately, and teaches soldiers well, but I am far behind him. "

Gao Yuanzhi waved his hand quickly:

"Captain, Lao Wang has been with our regiment longer than me. The soldiers all believe in him. It would be better for Lao Wang to be the leader.

I...I used to..."

Seeing them pushing back and forth, Yang Yuanshan immediately spoke:

"I have said before that being a battalion commander is not about getting promoted and making a fortune, but about shouldering the heavy responsibility of leading the soldiers to fight against the Japanese.

You should have the courage to give up on me! "

In fact, why didn't Yang Yuanshan want Wang Gensheng to be the battalion commander?

After all, he is a veteran of the Independence Regiment.

And Gao Yuanzhi was a prisoner of the 8th Mixed Brigade Cavalry Battalion of the Locust Alliance Army in Wanjia Town!

But he also knew that the artillery battalion would be mainly equipped with heavy artillery such as mountain artillery, field artillery, and cannon!

During shelling, it is increasingly impossible to visually target the target. Calculating the parameters of the shelling through the parameters reported by the observer will be an important task for every shelling.

Under this situation, artillery has completely become a high-tech branch, even more difficult than driving a tank. Most people really can't do it!

In this way, Gao Yuanzhi, who has a higher level of education, becomes a better candidate for artillery battalion commander.

And with Wang Gensheng's cultural level, no matter how hard he works, he will still be at the level of Wang Chengzhu. It is obviously not feasible to attack targets seven or eight kilometers away at every turn!

That's why he made such a drama of electing the battalion commander.

The purpose is, on the one hand, to defeat Gao Yuanzhi, and on the other hand, to prevent Gao Yuanzhi's rise from causing turmoil.

After all, his qualifications are indeed too junior!

After hearing what Yang Yuanshan said, Wang Gensheng said more firmly:

"Captain, Lao Gao is more suitable to be the battalion commander than me."

"it is good!

Gao Yuanzhi, do you have confidence? "

Yang Yuanshan turned to look at Gao Yuanzhi.

"Captain, I...I am...after all...I am...from a second devil!"

Gao Yuanzhi muttered.

Yang Yuanshan understood what he meant and encouraged firmly:

"Lao Gao, if you are qualified to join our special agent team, it means that you have never done anything harmful to the world in the Japanese Army.

From the day we accept you to join, you are our comrade, so you don't have to worry.

Now Gensheng thinks you are more suitable to be the battalion commander, what do you think? "

"I...I think...I am more suitable!"

Gao Yuanzhi gritted his teeth and said.

After saying this, he quickly looked at Wang Gensheng and the others in the room, for fear that they would laugh at him.

"it is good!

Then I'll leave the artillery battalion to you!

Please ask Lao Zhou to be your introducer later and join our organization. "

Hearing this, Gao Yuanzhi was immediately moved to the point of tears, and he nodded heavily and said:

"Thank you, captain!

I will definitely lead the artillery battalion! "

"Well, Gensheng will serve as the deputy battalion commander and commander of the first artillery company.

Your artillery battalion also has four companies:

The first company is equipped with 100 Liao-made 4mm howitzers and 18 Jin-made 88-year-old 3mm field guns;

The second company is equipped with 75 French-made 4mm cannons and 37 Type 6 mm rapid-fire cannons;

The third company is equipped with 75 10mm mountain guns;

The fourth company is equipped with 75 9mm mountain guns. "

Yang Yuanshan reported the configuration list he wanted in detail.

Hearing his list of artillery names and quantities, everyone present's eyes widened and they felt extremely shocked.

Gao Yuanzhi, the new artillery battalion commander, could not help but tremble and said:

"Captain, our artillery battalion is equipped with 36 powerful artillery pieces?

Is this too much? "

Zhou Xianpei also said:

"Yes, Captain!

Your artillery strength is several times stronger than our headquarters artillery regiment!

Our headquarters artillery regiment only has 12 75mm mountain guns! "

"Haha, isn't that too much?"

Yang Yuanshan laughed and asked.

Then without waiting for anyone to answer, he explained:

"Our artillery battalion is going to fight a frontal artillery battle with the same artillery regiment as the Japs!

You have to know that an artillery regiment of the Japs usually has 36 or even 48 artillery pieces!

Even if there are only 36 artillery pieces, among these 36 artillery pieces, there may be 12 105mm howitzers, 12 75mm mountain guns, and 12 Type 92 infantry guns!

If our equipment cannot keep up with the Japs, then this frontal artillery battle will definitely be lost!

After all, you should all know the little devil's gunnery skills. "

In fact, he organized this artillery battalion as an artillery regiment. Anyway, there are so many cannons in the warehouse, and they are just idle.

After hearing his explanation, everyone present felt a heavy pressure and were speechless for a moment.

They have never seen the Japanese artillery regiment before!

If it is true that there are 36 cannons as Yang Yuanshan said, what a terrible scene will it be during the bombardment?

I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to say that it will destroy the heaven and the earth.

Seeing that they were silent, Yang Yuanshan also sighed:

"It's a pity that we still have few heavy artillery. Otherwise, if we directly prepare 24 100mm howitzers, we will definitely make the Japanese artillery wing cry for father and mother!"

After saying this, he saw that the morale of everyone seemed a little low, so he quickly cheered everyone up and said:

"But you don't have to be discouraged. Sooner or later I will get more heavy artillery. When the time comes, we will form a heavy artillery battalion with 24 howitzers and a mountain artillery battalion with 24 mountain cannons."

Everyone present was shocked to hear that his vision was so grand.

Han Yang smiled and said:

"Captain, if we really have two artillery battalions like this, wouldn't we be able to attack Jinyang?"

"Haha, what happened to beating Jinyang?

Sooner or later I will break into Jinyang City and chop off Shinozuka Kazuo's head!

Let them come to our land of Jin to show off their power! "

Yang Yuanshan is domineering and authentic.

"Hahaha, wouldn't Shinozuka Kazuo be so scared that he wets his pants?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

……

After laughing, Gao Yuanzhi reminded:

"Commander, if our artillery battalion has 36 artillery pieces, the towing of the artillery and the transportation of artillery shells will become a big problem!

The howitzers, cannons, and mountain cannons you mentioned are not light in weight! "

"Yes, so I decided to equip all the pistol platoon soldiers of your artillery battalion with mules, horses and carts.

Let them guard the artillery during war and drag artillery and artillery shells when marching. "

Yang Yuanshan answered.

The main purpose is to use one person for multiple purposes, never leaving a warrior idle!

Hearing his words, logistics company commander Zhao Li felt his scalp go numb.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart: How can we have so many mules and horses?

Didn’t you count how many of the animals that were seized in the past were eaten by you?

He quickly stood up and shouted:

"Commander, to drag 36 cannons and shells, we need at least several hundred mules and horses. I'm afraid we don't have that many!"

Generally speaking, a field gun required 6 horses to drag it.

Rapid-fire artillery and mountain artillery are slightly lighter, but they also require 2 to 4 horses. Plus artillery shells, this artillery battalion has 36 guns and requires at least about 400 pack horses.

“If you don’t have it, go buy it!

Don’t we still have a lot of oceans?

Don't keep it in your hands. Use it to buy mules and horses. These mules and horses are also grain reserves. "

As Yang Yuanshan spoke, he couldn't help but lift his lips.

I don’t know if it reminds me of the delicious taste of donkey meat.

Dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground are definitely not lies!

Seeing him like this, Zhao Li felt very speechless and had no choice but to nod in agreement:

“Okay, I get it.

But regimental commander, the purchase of mules and horses is not a matter of time, but the reorganization of the artillery battalion cannot wait.

Moreover, many of the villagers’ mules and horses are used for plowing the fields. Once we spend a lot of money to buy them all, it may affect the villagers’ grain cultivation. "

"Well, that's a problem.

In this case, you can arrange the purchase of mules and horses slowly and slow down the pace.

We only use mules and horses to carry artillery.

As for the artillery shells, don’t we have bicycles? If we move 200 bicycles out and weld shelves on the back seats to carry the artillery shells, it will probably make the soldiers a little tired. "

He thought that on average, five or six bicycles would carry the shells for each gun, which should be enough.

At worst, when the war is urgent, I can quietly throw artillery shells out from the system warehouse.

Anyway, everyone should be used to equipment dropping from the sky now.

“Well, that’s fine.

But the ammunition hand of the artillery battalion must learn to ride a bicycle! "

Zhao Li nodded.

Hearing this, Yang Yuanshan turned to Gao Yuanzhi and said:

"Gao Yuanzhi, look back. After you organize the personnel of the artillery battalion, arrange for the ammunition crews to take turns learning to ride bicycles. Anyone who can't do it is not worthy of being in the artillery battalion. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Gao Yuanzhi answered the order loudly.
