Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The power of example is infinite! As the Beishan Detachment's series of achievements became known to the public, some main forces are also learning from the Beishan Detachment.

For example, the infantry squad of the most basic collective combat unit is aligning itself with the squad structure of the Beishan Detachment. Both the newly formed main force regiment and the local regiment basically have 12 people in a squad.

At this time, the 12-man formation method is a very good method, because such an infantry squad has a machine gun fire point, a grenade launcher fire point, and two assault teams. If there are more people, they can also assign a precision shooter to each of the machine gun group and the grenade launcher group as a precise sniper.

Don't underestimate this kind of formation. In the battle of an infantry squad, the squad leader and the deputy squad leader can arrange different combat groups according to the situation.

If it is an attack, two assault groups can be sent out in threes, with the machine guns at the back providing cover, and the grenade launchers bombing the enemy's firepower points or releasing smoke bombs for cover. The two precision shooters can cooperate with the machine gunners to snipe and cover, or cooperate with the grenade launchers to snipe the enemy's elite and cover the assault group forward.

If it is a defense, and the enemy is equal in number, the two precision shooters can, with the cooperation of the machine gunner and other comrades, call out the enemy one by one. If the enemy is numerous and far away, then everyone should cover the grenade launcher group, especially the precision shooter, and first call out the enemy's sharpshooter, so that the grenade launcher group can bomb the enemy's infantry group as quickly as possible.

And once the enemy approaches, and there are still a lot of troops left? Then the advantages of a light machine gun, two assault rifles, two submachine guns, and two semi-automatic rifles of the two assault groups will be reflected! Of course, this is only the most basic configuration, and the infantry squad of the Beishan Detachment is even more luxurious.

According to combat needs, submachine guns will appear in the hands of deputy machine gunners and deputy grenade launcher shooters (it may also be assault rifles).

In short, the 12-man formation is a very efficient formation when there are light machine guns and grenade launchers! When three efficient infantry squads are put together to form an infantry platoon, an additional shotgun group and a heavy machine gun squad will be added. The heavy machine gun is still a water-cooled Civilian 250 heavy machine gun, and the bullets are the kind of canvas bullet belts with rounds per piece.

At this time, you will be able to see the difference between the main force and the local force, and you will also be able to see the gap between the rich and the poor!

The poorest troops can forget about having heavy machine guns, but they must have shotguns. The shotgun group, which is rated at three people, may be expanded to 10 people with a shotgun and 100 fixed shotgun shells. The other soldiers use shotguns, double-barreled shotguns or other broken guns... However, such a composition is best used for ambushes.

A slightly richer army would have shotguns and most likely a heavy machine gun, but the model is uncertain, it could be the Type 24, Type 92, or other older types of heavy machine guns. And it is hard to say how many bullets there are. During the war, the platoon leader and the deputy platoon leader would count the bullets!
The most well-off troops, like the Beishan Detachment, were equipped with the Type 6000 heavy machine guns, and had plenty of bullets. They could go into battle with around rounds, and if that wasn't enough, they would have more for logistics.

As for weapons like shotguns, they are not that useful at this time. You can choose to bring them or not, all based on the battle situation. The most important thing is that in the two main regiments and one guard regiment of the Beishan Detachment, each infantry platoon has a full-time 2-man sniper team. The sniper uses a Ma Sihuan sniper rifle, and the observer uses an assault rifle. Originally, the infantry platoon of the Beishan Detachment would have one or two rocket launcher combat teams, but they have never been used. Now the rocket launcher combat teams are still there, and they are still in strict training, but these rocket launcher combat teams have been uniformly dispatched to the guard squad directly under the company headquarters!

Therefore, the headquarters of these infantry companies of Beishan Detachment really don't worry about the enemy getting to the company headquarters! Other companies' headquarters are guarded by teams with submachine guns and box guns at most, but the Beishan Detachment is more powerful, they can directly use rocket launchers to shoot at you... And in Beishan Detachment, there is no regulation that the number of guards must be 12, it may be 20.

For example, Li Yuexuan's full-time security team has 20 people! And that's not even counting his personal bodyguard Comrade Cai Xiaotian.

Li Yuexuan's guard squad is actually a complex system. In addition to those responsible for accompanying protection and standing guard, there is also a full-time medical soldier arranged for him by Taoist Chen, a confidential secretary arranged for him by the division, an orderly arranged for him, and close-fitting masters like Xiong Da and Xiong Er... Of course, these two close-fitting masters are sometimes also responsible for blocking bullets.

As the Japanese became more and more vulnerable, some despicable means became more frequent, such as poisoning and assassination.

Therefore, as a person who has made outstanding contributions to the military industry of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yuexuan's security level is quite high! From the fact that Li Yuexuan cannot lead his troops into the battlefield without the order of the headquarters, we can see how much protection he has. Li Yuexuan has strong personal ability. He has killed many devils by himself and treated many wounded soldiers personally...

But all these contributions combined are not as good as his contributions to the military industry! Simple weapons like shotguns are easy to manufacture and operate, and are the favorite in ambushes.

Grenade launchers are easy to produce, have better accuracy and power than the Japanese grenade launchers, and are easy to use, so everyone likes them. There are also light machine guns, submachine guns, semi-automatic... In short, with the blessing of these weapons, the Eighth Route Army did not weaken the combat effectiveness of the main force even in the years when the Japanese blockade was the most stringent! It was even strengthened!

Well, there is another secret that everyone knows but has not told, which is sulfa and penicillin! Although Li Yuexuan only provided the formula and industrial production information, these are the most critical points! Don’t you see, the Mao Xiong family cried and shouted to exchange equipment with us, just so that their wounded can get effective treatment!
The wounded of Mao Xiong's family have been effectively treated, and the wounded of the Eighth Route Army are even closer! Therefore, it is often seen that soldiers are infected and sacrificed in field hospitals, and rarely sacrificed due to wound infection. In other words, all the wounded who walked out of the field hospital must remember Li Yuexuan's kindness!

You want such a man to fight on the battlefield? ? Ask the wounded comrades first if they agree or not! Of course, as for promotion, if they don’t promote him now, they are afraid that the enemy will be the first to target him! Anyway, the leaders have a little notebook in their hearts, and everyone knows who has made the greatest contribution. (End of this chapter)
