The 386th Brigade Independent Regiment was also established not long ago, slightly later than Li Yunlong's new regiment.
The entire regiment including Kong Jie has only 1,056 people. Excluding the clerks and cooking team members, the entire regiment has only about 1,000 combat personnel. In addition, no political commissar has been sent, and there are only three battalion commanders to assist Kong Jie in leading the army. The entire regiment is composed of First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu, Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan, and Third Battalion Commander Wang Huaibao.
Kong Jie did all the work of the political commissar and leader of the regiment by himself.
There is no political commissar, which is actually what Kong Jie wants. Which military commander likes to have a political commissar who chants the curse all day long?
Don't think that just because Li Yunlong is troubled by this matter, Kong Jie still likes to be alone.
Regiment Headquarters.
Kong Jie asked Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, to bring a map around the base area.
The other two battalion commanders Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao were also there.
Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao and Kong Jie knew it. Later, after Li Yunlong took over the independent regiment, these two battalion commanders were Li Yunlong's capable generals, but they unfortunately died in the Japanese raids later.
Especially this Shen Quan, whose talent is not inferior to Zhang Dabiao.
What a pity.
Kong Jie especially saw Shen Quan's tactical attribute points, which were 60, which was only 5 points less than him, the leader of the group.
It is worth cultivating well, let alone Li Yunlong.
Amidst the doubts of the three battalion commanders, Kong Jie had been studying the map for a while, and his target point was always locked at Xiaolingou.
"Captain, is there something wrong with this Xiaolingou?" Shen Quan, who was on the side, turned his head the fastest and was the first to notice Kong Jie's focus.
Kong Jie asked: "Chen Quan, let me ask you, are you familiar with this Xiaolingou area?"
"Hey, leader, you've asked the right person. I've been to that place."
"Are there enough mountain roads through that place? I mean, enough for mules, carriages, or even trucks to pass through."
Shen Quan thought for a while and replied: "Yes, there is a mountain road to the south of Xiaolingou, backed by a mountainous area. Although it is a dirt road, it is more than one foot wide. Trucks and other things can definitely pass through it. Leader, what do you ask about this? What?"
Kong Jie smiled and did not rush to answer Shen Quan's doubts, but continued to ask: "How much do you know about the Japanese organization?"
Chen Quan replied: "I don't know much, but I probably know that the organization of the Japs is different from ours. We use squads, platoons, companies, battalions, and regiments, while the Japs use squads, squads, squadrons, brigade, etc." Team these up.”
"Then how much do you know about the firepower configuration of different Japanese formations? For example, what is the firepower configuration of a squad? What is the firepower configuration of a squadron?"
Chen Quan smiled bitterly and said: "Captain, since we were formed, we can count the number of times we have fought against the Japanese on our fingers. How can we know this?"
"Commander of the first battalion, commander of the third battalion, where are you two?" Kong Jie asked.
Wang Leihu and Wang Huaibao shook their heads together. Shen Quan didn't even know where they were going.
Kong Jie said: "When marching and fighting, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. We are fighting against the Japs. We don't even know the approximate firepower configuration of the Japs' different formations. How can we fight this battle?"
After a scolding that was not too serious, the three battalion commanders all fell silent in shame.
Kong Jie studied his own problem by himself and muttered:
"Xiaolingou, south, mountain road. According to the map and memory, Xiaolingou is about ten kilometers away from my regimental headquarters. It seems to have reached the territory of that boy Li Yunlong."
"A transport squadron should have about two hundred people. If some puppet troops are added, it will be more."
"There is no baggage, and there should be no automatic weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns."
"But even so, it's still not that easy to eat. Compared with a standard infantry squadron, the combat effectiveness of a transport squadron will be a little worse, but it won't be too different."
"Almost half of the regiment is composed of new recruits, and the equipment is even more pitiful, with only 55 points. It can be imagined."
"..."
"Captain, what are you talking about?" Wang Leihu couldn't help but ask.
Kong Jie raised his head and said: "You three, tell me the number of people in each battalion and the equipment, including machine guns, rifles, including ammunition."
"First battalion commander, you speak first!"
"Yes!" Although Wang Leihu was surprised, he responded immediately: "Captain, we have a battalion of 351 people, with 4 light machine guns, 250 rifles, 3 boxes of grenades (30 per box), and the average number of bullets per person holding the gun is 7 Gee, report completed."
Chen Quan continued: "The second battalion has 335 people, 3 light machine guns, 200 rifles, 2 boxes of grenades, and 5 bullets per person holding guns."
Wang Huaibao said bitterly: "The third battalion has 333 people. Commander, our battalion has the most recruits. We have only 2 light machine guns, 161 rifles, two boxes of grenades, and 3 bullets per person holding the gun."
After the three battalion commanders finished their detailed reports, Kong Jie was a little dazed.
Sure enough, it was similar to the memory in his mind. He just didn't believe in evil.
Now we have completely recognized the reality. The entire regiment does not have a single heavy machine gun, let alone a mortar or the like. Only two people can carry a gun. This is it. Some of the rifles are probably worn out. That being said, problems such as jamming or a sharp decline in accuracy during combat are definitely unavoidable.
If you really think about it this way, it would be difficult for two people to carry a gun.
The bullets are even more pitiful, and the entire regiment's bullets combined cannot support a protracted battle.
"It's difficult!"
Kong Jie felt inspired and asked, "Why is our equipment condition so bad?"
Chen Quan glanced at Kong Jie suspiciously and said helplessly: "Captain, what can we do? We were adapted from the Red Army. We were originally outside the establishment. The national army did not recognize our number at all. We have ammunition and weapons support. Don't even think about it. There aren't many in the brigade to begin with, and the 771st and 772nd regiments, the two main regiments that have been established, have been assigned to us, and even three melons and two dates are left. No less.
In addition, it has only been a year since our independent group was established. As for the equipment in front of us, we have doubled it several times after this year's efforts! "
Kong Jie smiled: "Okay, stop complaining, we won't be able to live in poverty for a few more days!"
"Captain, what do you mean?" Shen Quan was confused.
Kong Jie said: "You know the new group led by that boy Li Yunlong, right?"
Chen Quan nodded and said: "I know, Captain Li's new regiment was established a few months earlier than us."
"How does the new regiment's equipment compare to our independent regiment?" Kong Jie asked.
Chen Quan said: "I have heard about this. Their equipment is much better. They have both light and heavy machine guns, and they seem to have a mortar."
Kong Jie asked: "Then do you know why?"
The three battalion commanders shook their heads.
Kong Jie asked himself and answered: "Apart from the fact that Li Yunlong's new group was established a few months earlier than ours, the most important reason is that that kid likes to do side jobs whenever he has nothing to do!"
“Getting a side job???”
The three battalion commanders were stunned...
