Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 281 Chapter 280, Training Issues
"I calculated that the Japanese squad is composed of 13 people. We are also organized in the same way, but our equipment is better than the Japanese. It is enough to defeat the Japanese team of the same level."

"There are 7 squads, each with 13 people, which takes up 91 people. Then combine the transport squad and the artillery squad to form an artillery platoon, which takes up 27 combat forces. Comrade Wang Zixian can be the platoon leader. The remaining soldiers, medical soldiers and cooking squads will be combined to form the logistics support squad, and Comrade Tianchuan can be transferred there to be the squad leader."

"With this calculation, we will occupy exactly 127 places, and with the extra places for the three of us and Comrade Cai Xiaotian, it will make up a total of 131 people," said Li Yuexuan.

"Your composition is extremely streamlined and extremely bloated." Xing Weiguo listened and calculated, then said.

"Apart from the three of us and Cai Xiaotian, the company only has one logistics support squad, without even a messenger! The same goes for the combat platoon, there's no platoon leader position!" Zhu Xingyu said.

"In fact, it's not bad to have no platoon leaders. Let the combat squad be the basic organization! And the two platoon leaders should go back to Liangjia Village to serve as company commanders. That's where they are most needed! Of course, if there are any inappropriate compositions here, they can be transferred from the artillery platoon or the vanguard squad." Li Yuexuan said.

"Haha... Old Chen and Old Zheng, nothing has happened yet, but Comrade Peregrine has promoted you two, haha..." Xing Weiguo laughed twice before saying, "Who should be the company commander of the first company? Do you think one of us three should be the company commander? I have no problem with that, the headquarters will let you charge in the front? There is also the issue of grenade launchers. The vanguard squad does not need grenade launchers, but there are 6 infantry squads and we only have 5 grenade launcher groups, one short!"

"The grenade launcher is easy to deal with. Comrade Jiang Dazhong has been receiving training during this period. He can lead a soldier to serve as a grenade launcher." Li Yuexuan said.

"Peregrine, your idea is good. We agree to include grenade launchers in the combat squad and let Jiang Dazhong lead a grenade launcher team. However, the organization of this infantry squad needs to be adjusted."

After some discussion, the organization of the first company of the Beishan Guerrillas was completed, but Li Yuexuan's opinions were not fully adopted. Instead, the 12-man prototype of the strongest infantry squad was formed.

An infantry squad consists of a squad leader who is responsible for a 1-man machine gun group and a 2-man grenade launcher group, and a deputy squad leader who forms two assault groups with 2 soldiers. The extra person is a precision shooter who can move freely between the machine gun group and the grenade launcher group and is responsible for coordinating and killing the enemy.

The final organization is: Xing Weiguo and Li Yuexuan are still deputy captains, Cai Xiaotian still follows Li Yuexuan, and Zhu Xingyu is still the chief of staff, of course, he can also be called the instructor.

Then, Zheng Changfeng temporarily served as the company commander of the 1st Company, Chen Changsheng as the deputy company commander, and Hu Lanzhou as the squad leader of the vanguard squad. Hu Yanbao served as the 1st Platoon Leader, and Yang Gongxun succeeded him as the 2nd Squad Leader; Tian E served as the 2nd Platoon Leader, and Tian Chuan succeeded him as the 5th Squad Leader; Wang Zixian served as the platoon leader of the artillery platoon, with two 8-man artillery groups responsible for operating the mortars and a 1-man transport team responsible for carrying ammunition.

The logistics support squad, which consisted of cooks and medical soldiers, selected a veteran soldier named Cheng Anjia as the squad leader.

The advantage of this adjustment is that it basically does not change the original organization. Not only are the company headquarters and infantry platoon structures complete, but there are also three more soldiers in the company headquarters.

With these three soldiers working in the company headquarters, the messenger personnel are available, and even a soldier can be asked to learn the military bugle to have an extra bugler. Well, the guerrillas' Infantry Company 3 was reorganized in this way. And there is no surprise, this should be the most powerful infantry company in the entire Eighth Route Army! Whose infantry company has 1 mortars, 2 grenade launchers, 6 Czech-style, and the rest are all semi-automatic? Here, it is the Beishan guerrillas' Infantry Company 6.

This is a company where everyone from the cooks to the grooms are equipped with semi-automatic weapons! Is the firepower strong? Moreover, all the members are veterans, which instantly makes them look cool!

After completing the formation of the infantry company, Zhu Xingyu wrote out the latest organization that night, and Li Yuexuan personally delivered it to Minister Zhang. Although the guerrillas are a subordinate unit of the 386th Brigade, aren't we in front of the logistics department now? Is it okay to report the organization report to Minister Zhang?
"Minister Zhang, you see, our latest organization has been completed, and the comrades have also completed the replacement work! However, we don't have many bullets. Even with the 1 rounds of bullets allocated by you, our training bullets are not enough! You see, many of our comrades used to use Type rifles, and are very unfamiliar with semi-automatic rifles. They need live ammunition shooting to familiarize themselves with the trajectory..."

"You kid, just say whatever you want to say. Don't talk about this and that!" Minister Zhang interrupted Li Yuexuan while looking at the staffing table.

"Hey, Minister Zhang, after all, we are a company under your direct command, right? Do you want to allocate some more bullets so that we can train? Not much, just 100,000 rounds will be enough!" Li Yuexuan said loudly.

"Where are you going to go? And 10 rounds of bullets? Why don't you ask for 100 million rounds of bullets? Xiao Li, you should be content. The First Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment only gave him 1 rounds of bullets for training. We are still very poor. There are still many troops where each soldier can only get one bullet. So, I really can't approve it for you! However, I can give you a set of bullet reloading machines!"

Li Yuexuan was satisfied when he heard this. After all, he knew Minister Zhang's "family background" and didn't plan to deduct many bullets. So, he nodded desperately, indicating that we accept this!

"Okay, you don't have any combat missions these days, so we'll give you some time to get familiar with the guns. However, this time won't be too long. At the end of October, you will have new missions! Comrade Peregrine, complete your teaching work during this period and then return to the team!" Minister Zhang said earnestly.

"Return to the team? Do you agree to let me go back to the Beishan Guerrillas?" Li Yuexuan asked with bright eyes.

"Well, we agree to let you return to the team! You came here at the end of July, and in August, September, and October, in three months, you streamlined almost all of our arsenal's production, contributed several books, and helped train grenade throwers. In fact, neither the head of the headquarters nor I want you to leave!"

"But, what you yourself didn't notice is that you have been becoming more and more silent and your will has become depressed. But the moment you saw your old unit, you became a completely different person! Although you didn't say it, we all know that you don't want to stay in the arsenal or in the rear! So, we respect your wishes and let you return to the team and continue to fight on the front line!"

"Haha, thank you Minister, thank you leaders for your care, I will definitely kill more Japanese!" Hearing this, Li Yuexuan became very happy.
