"Report, the leader of the independent regiment, Wen Youcai, arrived outside our station and requested to meet the division commander." The signal corpsman ran in and said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officers raised their heads and looked at Chen Liren in unison. Chen Liren told them a lot about Wen San. There were many battles that the higher-ups didn't know about, but Chen Liren had experienced them personally.
"Hey, this Wen San actually came to my territory. What does he want to do?" Mr. Ye chuckled and became interested immediately.
It is said that the two armies are not affiliated with each other, and Wen San's independent regiment is like a ghost, floating uncertainly. The top brass of the national army tried to assign combat missions to them many times, but in the end no one was found. Unexpectedly, this guy actually came to my door today.
Chen Liren described Wen San's combat methods as miraculous, which made the senior officers of the 160th Division dubious. However, given their record, it is impossible to say that Chen Liren was completely bragging.
"Come on, let's go see this kid."
Commander Ye took the lead and walked out. This was a rising star on the battlefield of the Chinese army. In just over a month, he had been promoted from a small platoon leader to a colonel. Under normal circumstances, riding a rocket will not increase your speed so quickly.
The troops from both sides soon met above.
"Wen Youcai, the leader of the Flying Tiger Independent Regiment, has met Mr. Ye and all the officers." Wen San took the initiative to step forward and salute. Among this group of people, many of them have higher military ranks than him, so basic etiquette cannot be discarded.
He deliberately mentioned the word "flying tiger" just to let people know that he had the flying tiger flag awarded by the supreme commander. This Flying Tiger Flag is difficult to obtain even for the main force of the national army. Wen San just wanted to get enough attention from officers at all levels of the 160th Division.
"Haha, good boy, I thought you had three heads and six arms, but you turned out to be a handsome young man! Not bad, not bad!" Mr. Ye laughed, but the tone of his words still sounded like a senior admiring his junior.
As a lieutenant general and commander, it is not too rude to say this.
Hearing Master Ye speak like this, many officers laughed. Although Wen San had fought several good battles, he was still a junior, so it was already good to be treated like this. If it were another group leader who came over, he would have to speak and walk properly in front of them.
"Mr. Ye, I came here mainly because I want to cooperate with your department. I wonder if you are interested." After a brief greeting, Wen San took the initiative to get to the point.
"There's no rush. If you have any ideas, go to the headquarters and tell them." Commander Ye waved his hand and walked back with Wen San and others.
When Wen San entered the temporary headquarters, only Pang Dun and Zhou Zhengbiao were with him, while the others stayed outside.
"Let's talk about what you have in mind." Mr. Ye asked immediately after seeing everyone seated. In fact, they have been studying it for a long time, and they also find it very difficult for Miyamoto Koji's team to move closer.
"I want to join forces with your department and eat the Miyamoto regiment in one bite!" As soon as Wen Sansan spoke, the officers immediately looked at him like a monster.
That was a Japs alliance, not a squad! But in Wen San's mouth, it feels like it's as simple as a Japs team, to put it lightly.
"Oh! What a loud tone. Do you know how much firepower a Japanese regiment has? In a head-on battle, it is impossible to defeat a Japanese regiment without 30,000 to 20,000 troops." A major general staff officer immediately said, He just pointed at Wen San and scolded him for being ignorant.
The largest combat unit of a single arm of the Japanese is the regiment, which usually carries twelve to fourteen Type 92 infantry cannons. The Japanese generally regard the regiment as a regiment-level combat unit, with a full strength of about 3,800 people.
The Japanese regiment was significantly larger than the infantry regiment of the national army at the same time. It includes a 54-person command post; a 121-person transportation team (including trucks, mules, horses, etc.), and an 81-person ammunition team.
A regiment usually has three infantry brigades, equipped with 108 light machine guns and 36 heavy machine guns; an artillery squadron of about 200 people.
Wen San is still very clear about the configuration of the Japanese team.
"The Miyamoto Regiment has been crippled, with a total strength of only about 2,200. They currently have two 105mm cannons, four 75mm field guns, and seven Type 92 infantry guns. In terms of heavy firepower, they are indeed quite Fierce. Some light and heavy machine guns have been lost, but the overall combat capability has been significantly reduced."
Wen San directly told the situation of Miyamoto United. This was data that Pang Dun had spent a lot of effort to figure out.
"With so many weapons, you actually said that their combat capabilities have dropped significantly? Do you think that since you have won two battles, you don't take the Japs of a regiment seriously?" The combat staff officer glared at Wen San, almost I feel like I'm looking at him as a fool.
"Pang Dun, tell me our basic configuration!" Wen San was too lazy to explain. Unless he showed some strength, these people would really look down on him.
"The total strength of our independent regiment is about 2,100. Ordinary platoon-level combat units are equipped with one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns. Combat units above the company level are equipped with a 6-man shoulder-fired rocket launcher strike team. Battalion-level combat units are equipped with On the basis of the three companies, a heavy machine gun company is added. The heavy machine gun company is equipped with 6 heavy machine guns, 12 light machine guns, plus a 12-man grenade squad."
"The independent regiment has an artillery battalion under its jurisdiction. It currently has four cannons, six 75 field guns, six mountain guns, 16 Type 92 artillery pieces, and 24 60 mortars."
Pangdun shut up after saying this. In fact, Wen San still had a lot of things in hand, such as the German Weapons Battalion and several directly affiliated companies. These teams are all equipped with super strong firepower and are much more luxurious than the team of the Little Devils.
Hearing the quantity of equipment reported by Fat Dun, the officers of the entire 160th Division opened their mouths. Their entire division cannot produce so much light and heavy firepower. It would be good to have a light machine gun at the basic platoon level. Many times a company only has one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns.
Compared with Wen San and others, our side is really almost like a beggar army.
"With such a strong firepower configuration, can your ammunition consumption keep up?" An officer thought about this again after taking off the air conditioner. No matter how luxurious the equipment is, without ammunition it is all just decoration.
"Don't worry, the ammunition of all kinds of artillery is at least above a certain base. Not to mention the light and heavy machine guns, the bullet tubes are full." Pang Dun said arrogantly.
In fact, Wen San has seized quite a lot of weapons and ammunition over the years. Afterwards, Zhang Yonglin and the others sent another regiment of German weapons and equipment, as well as corresponding weapons and ammunition. If it weren't for the rapid expansion of personnel, his troops wouldn't be able to take away so many things.
In this way, Wang Qiang's baggage team felt so tired that they vomited blood. They complained to Lao Yangtou many times and asked him to go to Wen San to ask for someone.
"My darling, your group is really rich and wealthy to the landlords. Compared with your equipment, our equipment is really inferior to the farmers who do day labor for the landlords."
Many officers looked at Wen San with green eyes, wishing to arrest him and let the independent regiment replace him with weapons and equipment.
