Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 87, Guerrilla formation

After leaving the small workshop of the old squad leader, Li Yuexuan returned to the guerrillas and then trained again and again.

In the blink of an eye, another week passed and the recruits completed their first live-fire shooting training since joining the army. Each of them fired 5 rounds, which was quite amazing.

After all, people are different, so after this live-fire shooting, Zhao Danian and Xing Weiguo finally completed the integration of the guerrilla team based on everyone's shooting results.

Thus, the guerrillas had a complete structure.

The captain and deputy captain were still Zhao Danian and Xing Weiguo. Then they divided into the vanguard squad, infantry squad 1 and 2, transport squad, cooking squad, and finally a machine gun grenade launcher rescue comprehensive squad.

The vanguard squad: squad leader Hu Lanzhou, deputy squad leader Tian E, and Tian Chuan as the backbone, plus 6 new recruits with faster legs, a total of 9 people.

Infantry Squad 1: Squad leader Huyan Long, deputy squad leader Bai Dabao, machine gunner Lai Fu, and 10 new recruits, a total of 13 people.

Infantry Squad 2: Squad leader Hu Yanbao, deputy squad leader Zou Ming, machine gunner Meng Dayong, also with 10 recruits, totaling 13 people.

Kitchen squad: Squad leader Luo Wei, with 5 new recruits under him, totaling 6 people.

Transport Squad: Squad leader Wang Zixian, with 8 new recruits, is responsible for taking care of the guerrillas' 2 donkeys, 3 horses, and 2 mules. A total of 9 people.

Comprehensive class: squad leader Li Yuexuan, deputy squad leader Bai Dashan, backbones are Yang Gongxun, Zhang Lu, Zhu Erlong and the rest of the recruits. Total number of people: 11.

In this way, the 63 guerrillas had their own organization, and the guerrillas had a command system when they fought. Why did the guerrillas have 63 people? Because Zhao Danian exchanged three wounded soldiers from the 3rd Company from Li Yunlong with three Type 3 rifles. Of course, Li Yunlong also supplied the guerrillas with 3 rounds of 300mm Mauser pointed bullets.

The New 3st Regiment had already benefited greatly from this battle, so it was not a big deal to have three wounded soldiers. However, Li Yuexuan discussed with Zhao Danian and others and felt that the guerrillas only needed four light machine guns, as there were no suitable machine gunners for more. So they sent three Type 4 light machine guns to Li Yunlong, and the guerrillas only needed one Czech-style light machine gun and three Type 3 light machine guns.

The guerrillas originally had five Type 5 rifles, and later got one more when the spoils were divided, but it was finally given to the New st Regiment.

However, each party gets what it needs. The guerrillas also get something. At least they get three more veterans with rich combat experience, right? Although Wang Zixian lost most of his arm, he can just be the transport squad leader and take care of the guerrillas' supplies. As for weapons, he can just be given a captured box, and at most he can have someone help him load the gun and change the bullets.

Meng Dayong was directly assigned as a machine gunner in squad 2. He will be the candidate for squad leader when the squad is expanded in the future. Zhu Erlong, the one who was shot in the face, is now a machine gunner on Li Yuexuan's side, so he can cooperate with Li Yuexuan and the others.

As for the allocation of grenade throwers, the Huyan brothers were all grenade throwers, each leading a squad. Bai Dashan also had a grenade thrower to carry, and he was also given an assistant shooter. Li Yuexuan had a new assistant shooter for grenade throwers, the wounded Zhang Lu, who would be another grenade thrower after training. What needs to be emphasized here is the cooking squad. Although Luo Wei was the head of the cooking squad, with only 5 soldiers under him, Luo Wei was carrying a Czech machine gun and was one of the guerrillas' machine gun groups.

The command system of the guerrillas can also be seen from the divisions. Captain Zhao Danian directly commands the transport squad, the general squad, and the cooking squad; the deputy captain Xing Weiguo commands the vanguard squad and the first and second squads.

By the way, the soldiers led by Zhao Danian were either long-range firepower strikes or logistics and battlefield rescue. The real attackers were the troops led by Xing Weiguo.

After the division of labor is clear, the team will expand again, and then select suitable recruits to fill these teams! And Luo Wei will not be limited to the cooking squad in the end, and will sooner or later become an independent machine gun squad. For example, if the guerrillas have heavy machine guns one day, Luo Wei and his men should go up.

In short, a 63-man guerrilla team, with a small boat, is easy to turn around, and no matter how it is organized, it will be easy to develop in the future. As for equipment, because there are too many Japanese equipment, except for Li Yuexuan who still insists on using Mosin-Nagant, the rest of the soldiers are using Type rifles. The Bai brothers also changed to Type rifles and followed the new recruits to shoot targets to familiarize themselves with the trajectory.

The bullets that the two brothers didn't need were given to Li Yuexuan to ensure that he had enough ammunition. Therefore, even though Zhang Lu was still a wounded soldier, he also needed to protect Li Yuexuan from bullets.

In summary, the guerrillas' weapons were 3 box guns, 1 box gun, 1 Mosin-Nagant, 4 grenade launchers (one was vacant), 1 Czech-style, 3 crooked handle rifles, 2 shotguns (the original one produced by the old squad leader), and the rest were Type rifles. The guerrillas didn't need the two shotguns, so Zhao Danian gave them directly to the village militia.

With a complete organization, the guerrillas' next training content added team coordination and various tactical training. To this end, Li Yuexuan also proposed the three-three system tactical suggestion.

The three-three system is a perfect tactical coordination, but it is difficult to train and requires veterans to lead. Fortunately, there are enough veterans in each class to carry out training.

Don’t ask how a 13-man infantry squad is trained. The answer is that the machine gun team takes up 2 people, the grenade launcher team takes up 2 people, and the remaining people are exactly 9 people.

Li Yuexuan naturally did not need to use the three-three system. He had two grenade launcher teams and a three-man machine gun team. The remaining three recruits led by Yang Gongxun just used two shotguns.

The guerrillas arrived at the village on October 10 and sent off the grenade launcher trainees on October 10. Then they completed the team building and have been training and resting here ever since.

A few days passed in this training, and in the blink of an eye it was already October 10, and the end of the month was approaching. At this time, the guerrillas had one more piece of equipment - grenades! That's right, it was the grenades that the old squad leader and his men had tinkered with over there, and the first batch was equipped to the guerrillas.

Because the Third Division and the Jin-Cha-Ji Headquarters attached great importance to the production of their own grenades, these grenades were not filled with black powder, but with Kaizi explosives obtained from the Jin-Sui Army. Kaizi explosives, this is what Jin-made grenades use, so the power is not small, there will be more than 100 pieces of fragments after the explosion, the power within a radius of 10 meters is enough to be lethal.

The guerrillas had 500 of these grenades, 8 per person on average. What? They were still short of 4?
