What surprised Zhang Tianhai was that the supplies of ammunition and uniforms sent by the commander arrived so quickly...
In less than four days, this load of supplies from Xuzhou arrived in Lanling.
On this day, Zhang Tianhai personally led the troops to inspect the ammunition supplies. This batch of military supplies, especially the bullets for the Solotong machine gun, was particularly abundant. Most of the remaining supplies were 7.92 mm caliber bullets, as well as some grenades and heavy-duty grenades. Machine gun bullets and mortar shells.
As for those field artillery shells, I don’t know if it was because Chief Xu reported to the theater commander Li Zongren that there were still artillery shells in the artillery camp of the Zhiyi Regiment, so the theater logistics department did not give the 75 mm caliber field artillery shells to send over.
However, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the Zhiyi Regiment is currently lacking everything. The only thing that is in short supply is the shells of the Japanese-made 38-type field artillery.
Also delivered at the same time was a reward of 50,000 yuan from the commander's department to the first regiment.
Of this money, except for the brothers who died and gave it to their immediate family members according to the principle of five oceans per person, others were rewarded according to the principle of two oceans. As for the wounded, an additional one was paid.
It's not Zhang Tianhai's fault, because in fact the pension is not under the jurisdiction of the army, but is reported to the war zone commander's department, who then reports it to the central government, and the central government orders the local government to pay the pension.
These five pieces of ocean were just the wishes of Zhang Tianhai and the Zhiyi Regiment Headquarters. After all, they were the ones who brought these soldiers out.
"Hurry up, put all these ammunition into the arsenal and put them into categories! They must be sorted and put away!" Since this batch of ammunition is relatively large, Zhu Shaohong, director of the Logistics Department, can only look at it and give it in person, and more importantly What's more, even the group leader came in person. Doesn't this explain the problem?
Any matter that the superior officer attaches special importance to must be an important matter that can be elevated to the level of the entire regiment.
"Lao Zhang, I'm afraid this wave of arms and ammunition will be enough for us to have a good fight, right?" Guo Qiliang said with a smile. Today, the commanders of the regiment's headquarters are in an unusually good mood.
In addition to the large amount of arms and ammunition being transported, this was also due to the smooth recruitment of troops. This time the Zhiyi Regiment expanded, first of all, the number of soldiers increased to a certain extent, and more importantly, the Zhiyi Regiment increased its number to a certain extent. The various arms of the regiment have been perfected.
Like other ordinary independent infantry regiments, they usually only have a guard platoon, an engineer platoon, a communications platoon, and a baggage company, not even a cavalry company, let alone a cavalry battalion.
Now this regiment has not only the guard platoon, but also the engineer platoon, communication platoon, and baggage company, which have been expanded by one level, not to mention the small artillery company and mortar company that were originally equipped with the German Artillery Division Infantry Regiment. Okay, now the cavalry battalion plus the special agent company and the military police company, how many combat troops are there? Even this main infantry battalion has one more than others...
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to fight a good battle. If we just fight a battle, it's still possible. It's a pity that this little Japan doesn't give us time to practice properly, otherwise the synergy of the infantry and artillery will not work. In addition, even our first-level units are equipped with a large number of grenade launchers, so the combat effectiveness must be enhanced. It’s a pity..."
As he spoke, Zhang Tianhai let out a long sigh, his expression full of melancholy.
"The current situation is so serious, and it is impossible for the little devil to wait for us to take a good breath. I dare say that with our current equipment, if we train for another year or two, I am afraid that we will not be able to fight the little devil head-on." Is it a wave?" Guo Qiliang also said with confidence.
"Yes, our regiment has suffered a serious loss of veterans. Before we fought the Soup Battle, all our regiment members were veterans. Now that we have so many new recruits, if our superiors ask us to launch a main attack, let me see, You may not be able to bear it." Zhang Tianhai said with a bitter smile.
"No, I believe in your strength. Besides, aren't there three battalions that have not been lost? If there is a war, just let them go first." Guo Qiliang said.
"It seems that the heroes have similar views." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile, "If it weren't for the issue of which unit would take the lead, I would really want to split up part of the third battalion and use it to fill the vacancies of the first or second battalion."
"Now the main force of the city defense battalion has basically been transferred to the first and second battalions. I'm afraid Han Xingle will have objections to your arrangement, Lao Zhang." Guo Qiliang said.
"Opinions? What opinions can you have? In this battle of Tangtou, the fourth battalion suffered the least losses, and the main force of this battle was the first and second battalions. The losses of these two battalions were so heavy. If I don't add more points, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of Li Chunfei and Lu Shaojie." Zhang Tianhai said meaningfully.
As for the deployment in this area, Zhang Tianhai had already thought of the words. Otherwise, if the whole group became small hills, it would be more than worth the gain.
Anyway, if Han Xingle comes to ask, he will directly say that the tilt of the deployment ratio this time is entirely due to the great contributions of the 1st and 2nd Battalions and heavy losses. If you don't accept it, next time, I will take your The fourth battalion was placed in the most dangerous position.
If Zhang Tianhai said this, Han Xingle would have nothing to say. It’s not like he didn’t know the tragedy of the battle fought by the First Battalion in the west of Tangtou Town. Although he was not afraid of death in battle, he didn’t really want to die...
"You are still very accurate. Han Xingle is really not a fool. We must let him die. He really won't go." Guo Qiliang laughed.
"Yes. I'll wait for you to come and watch here in a while! I have to go and see the training situation of the first battalion. This battalion is the one I am most worried about right now." Zhang Tianhai frowned deeply.
"Go!" Guo Qiliang said with a smile. He also knew that Zhang Tianhai still wanted to reorganize the first battalion. This battalion must be the number one main force of the Zhiyi Regiment.
"Yeah." Zhang Tianhai nodded and left.
…
Outside Lanling City, there is still a vast area.
Asakusa has slowly grown out from under the yellow soil, creating a green and vibrant scene.
Central Military Commission officers and soldiers wearing light yellow military uniforms and leggings were training, while Li Chunfei, the commander of the first battalion with one arm hanging, was inspecting these officers and soldiers. If anyone was lazy, he would definitely go up and kick his big feet.
"Everyone, be diligent! Don't think that the training is just for me. On the battlefield, the more strength you have, the more chance of survival. Don't think that the current firepower of our group is fierce, just No need to fight in close combat! Let me tell you, what you think is so beautiful! The Japanese army's bayonet tactics are more powerful than you think! You must learn to fight together! You must develop your own physical strength to survive on the battlefield! "Li Chunfei was yelling.
Zhang Tianhai saw this scene as soon as he arrived here.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianhai knew: Li Chunfei must have been frightened by the Japanese army's bayonet fighting skills combined with the pig attack tactic when he was in the west position of Tangtou Town.
In fact, you can't blame Li Chunfei. He was afraid of death or timid, or whatever. If you haven't experienced the pig attack tactic of rushing forward regardless of casualties, you won't understand the horror of this tactic.
After all, in this era, the Chinese army does not yet have the conditions to equip submachine guns, a close combat weapon. In addition, the shooting accuracy of Chinese army soldiers at this time is far from the level of the Japanese army. Due to the lack of shooting training, most people After arriving on the battlefield, all I used was random shooting and "great mercy" shooting.
Therefore, after the Japanese army carried out the skirmish line attack, they carried out the pig attack tactic. The Chinese army simply could not withstand this charge.
Therefore, when the Japanese army attacked the west position of Tangtou Town, they attacked the national army position after paying five to six hundred casualties. Most of the casualties of Li Chunfei's battalion were caused in close combat. It is no wonder that he had This kind of shadow.
Yes, the training conducted by the first battalion today was bayonet training.
"You, go over and call the first battalion commander over to me. Now!" Zhang Tianhai casually nodded to a soldier next to him and said.
"Yes, regimental seat!" The soldier who was called immediately stood at attention and saluted.
