Qixia Town.
After Yang Yuanshan got up in the morning, he went on a patrol and found nothing unusual, so he called all his generals for a meeting.
He was too lazy to chat like before, and went straight to the point and handed down the task:
"Comrades, in this battle of Changguang Village, we suffered nearly 400 casualties, and we need to make up for them in time.
Han Yang, I leave this matter to you. We must replenish the personnel within one day, and then start to intensify training. In three days, we will have a new combat mission! "
“Ah, filling up the staff in one day?
Battalion Commander, you are making things difficult for me!
Where did I get all these people? "
Han Yang complained.
"Aren't the engineering company and the logistics company our recruit team?
Take your pick!
There are 700 people in these two companies. Is it difficult to select 400 people? "
Yang Yuanshan said naturally.
Hearing this, Zhao Tietou, commander of the engineering company, and Zhao Li, commander of the logistics company, couldn't help but feel very sad.
The soldiers under his command were like running water. They were replenished and left within a few days.
Zhao Tietou believed that he was Yang Yuanshan's old subordinate, so he immediately jumped out and shouted:
"Batalion Commander, you are going too far.
I have finally taught the soldiers to dig bomb-proof holes, and I am now learning to clear mines. Now that I have taken away most of the people, when will my engineering company be able to achieve combat effectiveness? "
Hearing his complaint, Yang Yuanshan replied casually:
"When there are no combat missions, just teach slowly.
The main task of our engineering company is to dig trenches and anti-gun holes. All we need to do is learn these two things.
You are generally not needed for demining or anything like that.
We have a lot of artillery shells. If we encounter a minefield, we can just use artillery to explode it. "
Everyone was speechless after hearing such inhumane words.
Zhou Xianpei even wanted to shut Yang Yuanshan's mouth, thinking: Don't let the leaders hear what you said!
Otherwise, the leader will have to confiscate all your artillery shells, which is such a waste!
Do you know how many comrades in the army are still sacrificing their lives to block the holes of the gun just to save a few rounds of artillery shells?
Zhao Tietou was so shocked by Yang Yuanshan's words that he could only mutter:
"Anyway, our engineer company is just a stepmother. If you don't want me to be the battalion commander, please remove me as the company commander. I can be a soldier in any company."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Yuanshan rolled his eyes at him and sneered:
"Where are all the weird words?
Have you forgotten the discipline of obeying orders?
How about I let you go to the cooking class to carry the big pot? "
After hearing this, Zhao Tietou suddenly stopped talking.
…
After beating Zhao Tietou, Yang Yuanshan ordered Wei Dayong:
"Monk, you have a day off today. Tomorrow you will take your people to Shuiquan Coal Mine for reconnaissance. When I lead the large troops to the outskirts of Shuiquan Coal Mine, I want to know all the conditions of the coal mine. Do you understand?"
"I understand.
Battalion Commander, I think our special operations company can set off today without waiting for tomorrow. "
Wei Dayong is eager to try and can't wait to set off now.
Yang Yuanshan was speechless for this guy's bellicosity.
He quickly lectured:
“Monk, as a cadre, you must always be considerate of the soldiers.
You are strong and not afraid of fatigue.
But this is not the case for the soldiers of the special operations company. They must be given a good rest and cannot be allowed to collapse from exhaustion.
Understand? "
"Oh, yes! Let's start again tomorrow."
…
At this time Zhou Xianpei frowned and asked:
"Battal Commander, this time you want to pursue the idea of Shuiquan Coal Mine. Can this be justified to the regiment commander and brigade commander?
The water spring is not close to our place. "
"It's okay. Commander Ding invited us to help this time. Commander Ding will report to the brigade headquarters."
Yang Yuanshan waved his hand and didn't care.
"Battal Commander, you said the same thing last time when you helped Commander Kong attack Shouxian County. Although our superiors didn't criticize us by name, you should understand.
Moreover, the new regiment's defense area was originally near Yang County. It was reasonable for them to attack Yang County. The idea of crossing Ping'an County to attack Shuiquan Coal Mine was impossible to fool their superiors. "
Zhou Xianpei still didn't want to see Yang Yuanshan dismissed. During this period of time when he was partnered with the other party, Yang Yuanshan's ability made him amazed and admired him very much.
In the years since he joined the army, he has never seen a battalion commander as capable as Yang Yuanshan in developing equipment and developing teams.
In the past, the cadres at the headquarters chatted privately and said that Li Yunlong was the leader who was best at developing equipment and developing the team, but he felt that compared to Yang Yuanshan, Li Yunlong was still far behind!
Regarding Zhou Xianpei's concerns, Yang Yuanshan had already thought about it the last time he deceived Kong Jie, but he still decided to fight.
Without fighting, the troops will not be tempered, the effective forces of the Japs will not be eliminated, and precious strategic time will be wasted.
So he smiled slightly at Zhou Xianpei and said:
"Lao Zhou, don't worry. I know what's going on."
Seeing what he said, Zhou Xianpei didn't know what to say, so he could only nod.
Now that he has emerged, Yang Yuanshan immediately assigned him a task:
"Old Zhou, although we only drew 400 people from the logistics company and engineering company this time, I think you'd better recruit 1,000 more recruits.
It is impossible for us to go to Dashuiquan Coal Mine without casualties. When the time comes, you will train the new recruits in Qixia Town in advance, and you can replenish them in time when the team comes back. "
"Yes, I understand.
But Battalion Commander, we have been recruiting troops around here these few times. Although the villagers are very enthusiastic, we have already absorbed almost all the young men who meet our recruitment requirements. It may be difficult to recruit another 1,000 people.
How about we lower our requirements? For example, could the age be relaxed a little? "
"That's not necessary.
We definitely don't want those who are too old and cannot keep up with the physical strength. We definitely don't want them who are too young and are still children. I can't bear to let them go to the battlefield.
It's hard to recruit around here, so go to a village further east or south.
Our current base area is so large, I don't believe we can't recruit 1,000 qualified recruits. "
"ok, I get it."
…
After arranging Zhou Xianpei, Yang Yuanshan said to Wang Xikui:
"Xiko, for your sharpshooter class, I selected 10 people for the monks a few days ago, and now you have to find people to fill the ranks.
I suggest you go to the surrounding villages to recruit some new recruits from hunters and train them as soon as possible.
Although your team is small in number, its role on the battlefield is not small and must be continuously strengthened.
When I get a chance, I'll get you some sniper rifles. "
"Yes! I understand. But battalion commander, what is a sniper rifle?"
Wang Xikui asked curiously while nodding.
Not only him, but others present were also very interested in this new term in Yang Yuanshan's mouth.
Of course, except Zhou Xianpei.
He is a cultural person, so of course he knows what a sniper rifle is.
Yang Yuanshan didn't know how to explain it so that these uneducated guys could understand. After thinking about it for a while, he explained:
“It’s a gun equipped with a scope and a longer range, specifically for sharpshooters.
Although the effective range of the Little Devil's Type 97 sniper rifle is usually only about 500 meters, in the hands of a skilled sniper, the accurate range can reach 600 to 800 meters, and the maximum range of this thing is even 3,000 meters. ! "
"So powerful? If all our classes were equipped with this, the little devils would be miserable!"
Wang Xikui drooled a little.
Yang Yuanshan waved his hand and said:
"What is this? There are many sniper rifles in the world that are better than the Type 97. It's just that we haven't had the chance to see them."
After hearing what he said, everyone quickly sent rainbow farts:
"Battal Commander, you are so awesome and know so much!"
Only Zhou Xianpei asked in confusion:
"Battal Commander, weren't you only 14 years old when you joined the army? How did you know this?
For those who didn’t know, I thought you were a graduate of a military academy just like the brigade commander! "
Hearing this, Yang Yuanshan quickly laughed and said perfunctorily:
"Hahaha, I forgot who taught me this."
…
After some arrangements, Yang Yuanshan let everyone go about their business.
He himself went to the health team to visit the seriously injured in this battle.
There were more than 230 seriously injured people in total, but on the way back, more than 30 people had already died because they could not hold on.
There are currently less than 200 people recuperating in the health team.
I asked Liu Damin, the captain of the health team, about the situation of the wounded, and was relieved to learn that their injuries were basically under control due to sufficient medicine in the secret service camp.
He comforted the wounded to take good care of their injuries and told Liu Damin to go to the logistics company if he needed anything, so he transferred to the logistics company himself.
Zhao Li of the logistics company was leading people to make dough pancakes. When he saw him coming, he quickly stopped what he was doing and stepped forward to talk.
"Batalion Commander, why are you here?"
"Well, let's take a look. How are you preparing the dry food?"
"Thousands of dough pancakes have been made. It is enough for a soldier to divide them into two. Each one weighs half a catty."
"Okay! We seized hundreds of kilograms of sugar from Qixia Town last time. I gave you some time to try making fried noodles. Have you finished it?"
Of course, Yang Yuanshan has always been thinking about "fried noodles", a magical field dry food that would only appear on the peninsula battlefield more than ten years later.
This thing is convenient and easy to carry. It is perfect for teams like ours that engage in mobile warfare for a long time and lack reliable logistics capabilities.
But since he couldn't get sugar before, he didn't think about it.
He got a batch of sugar in Qixia Town last time, so he told Zhao Li to take the time to try it.
In fact, this thing is essentially a beggar’s version of compressed biscuits.
If you can get a dough press, you can directly press this thing into compressed biscuits.
"It was made. After the soldiers tasted it, they all said it was delicious. Now I have made two to three thousand kilograms of it.
There will be no more sugar. We took half of the sugar to make sugar water for the wounded. "
“Well, the needs of the wounded are the most important and must be given priority.
Let me see the ones that are done. "
These days, the secret service camp has no glucose at all to infuse the wounded, so getting some sugar water to replenish energy can be regarded as a substitute.
Yang Yuanshan understood very well.
Following Zhao Li into a room, Yang Yuanshan saw that it was densely filled with cloth bags.
Zhao Li opened a bag and scooped out half a bowl from a bowl to show him.
I saw that this thing was in the shape of light yellow flour, with many incompletely ground corn kernels, salt particles, sugar particles, sesame seeds, etc. inside, exuding a strong fragrance.
I grabbed a handful and put it into my mouth. A faint sweetness bloomed in my mouth. Apart from being a little dry, the taste was actually pretty good.
Although it was still far behind the military compressed biscuits he had eaten before time travel, in this era, it was already considered a good thing.
"Not bad. This stuff tastes good.
This time we went to Dashuiquan Coal Mine, so we brought these fried noodles to try.
At that time, each soldier will bring two pancakes and a pound of fried noodles to eat together, which should be pretty good.
In the future, whenever we have the conditions, we can do this hoarding. In case the Japs come to raid, we can move quickly without having to prepare dry food at the last minute. "
"Yes! Then I have to get someone to sew the chow mein bag quickly. This stuff is easy to spill."
"Well, we can mobilize the folks in Qixia Town to help. We can provide cloth and ask the aunts to help. Thousands of cloth bags should be available soon."
"okay, I get it."
Zhao Li nodded and prepared to make arrangements.
According to Yang Yuanshan's plan, he will set off in three days, so time is tight.
Yang Yuanshan said again:
"Take me to our ammunition warehouse to have a look. This time the soldiers have consumed a lot of ammunition. Do we still have enough inventory?"
Zhao Li was a little puzzled when he heard this, and thought to himself: The battalion commander didn't care much about the warehouse in the past. What happened today? Did you ask about ammunition?
Although he was suspicious, he still answered:
"It's fairly wealthy and should support us in one or two wars."
While taking Yang Yuanshan to a large yard nearby, he pointed at several houses in the yard and introduced them one by one:
"Battal Commander, this room stores artillery and shells, this room stores light and heavy machine guns and grenades, and corresponding bullets and shells, this room stores rifles, bullets, and grenades..."
Yang Yuanshan opened the door and inspected it carefully, and saw ammunition boxes densely packed inside.
Basically half is empty and half is full.
It can be seen that after two consecutive battles, the Battle of Shouxian County and the Battle of Changguang Village, the weapons and equipment of the secret service battalion have been consumed a lot.
After casually checking it, Yang Yuanshan immediately said to Zhao Li:
"Go and bring me the warehouse's account books! I'll wait for you here."
"yes!"
Zhao Li did not doubt his presence and hurriedly went out to get the account book.
He thought that the battalion commander was afraid that he would enrich his own pockets, so he felt a little uneasy.
When Yang Yuanshan saw him leaving, he immediately waved his hand and frantically released the shells and bullets from the system warehouse.
Seeing that the ammunition boxes were stacked too high and it was easy to detect abnormalities, he immediately filled the empty ammunition boxes again - of course, he did not fill the top one or two layers of empty ammunition boxes.
After finishing one room, he moved on to the next one...
When Zhao Li came back, he had already returned to his original position and pretended to look through Zhao Li's account book.
He frowned and said:
"Zhao Li, do you remember this account?
The ledger states that the Type 92 heavy machine gun is almost out of bullets. Why did I see so many boxes just now? "
As he spoke, Yang Yuanshan walked over and opened several ammunition boxes, only to see them filled with 7.7mm Arisaka bullets.
——This is naturally what Yang Yuanshan just released.
Zhao Li's eyes widened and he said suspiciously:
"That's right. I remember that there should be less than 5,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition left. Where did these boxes come from?"
As he said that, he came over and opened a few boxes.
I was immediately shocked to see that it was full of 7.7mm bullets.
This box after box is indeed very different from the less than 5,000 rounds recorded in my account book!
hiss……
Where did all these bullets come from?
Did it grow out of thin air?
Could it be that I lost my head when I was keeping accounts?
misremembered?
Zhao Li began to doubt life.
Yang Yuanshan was secretly happy in his heart, but he still pretended to comfort him and said:
"It's okay, Zhao Li, you have worked hard during this period, it doesn't matter if you make any mistakes.
In this way, after I take the soldiers to Shuiquan Coal Mine in two days, you will have less things to do here. You can re-count the materials in our warehouse. "
"Yes! Battalion Commander!"
…
After replenishing ammunition for the spy camp, Yang Yuanshan said goodbye to Zhao Li and Shi Shiran walked to the camp headquarters.
Only Zhao Li remained in the warehouse, with question marks on his face.
He carefully checked the ammunition boxes in the warehouse, only to find that many of the empty ammunition boxes had been filled with cannonballs and bullets for some time.
It almost made his eyes pop out.
He remembered that he asked each company to put the empty boxes aside after receiving the ammunition.
But now, except for the top batch of boxes which are empty, the boxes below are all full.
He couldn't help but cursed:
"Which bastard brought my entire box of ammunition here?"
