The temporary headquarters of Jinyang Ping An Cluster.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, Xing Zhiguo and others gathered together.
"Captain, chief executive, this time we reorganized, we basically still operate according to our traditional organization, but according to the characteristics of the Little Japanese Army, I have made some enhancements to each of the original levels. The main contents are in the report in front of you. .”
Gao Jianwu opened the transformation plan he had written for several days. The same plan was also placed in the hands of several giants of Ping An, but semi-illiterates like Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao would rather listen to Gao Jianwu.
"We will start from the grassroots units. The squad and platoon levels will basically keep the current organization and composition unchanged. In the future, at most, we will replace it with some new equipment and strengthen it."
Gao Jianwu also knew this situation and started from the beginning.
"But in the company, our current three infantry platoons are a bit weak. I plan to add a firepower platoon, a two-gun 82mm mortar squad, a three-gun machine gun squad and a Type 43 assault rifle sharp knife squad. 3 snipers.
The company headquarters added a walkie-talkie communication class and deployed walkie-talkies to the platoon level. "
"In this way, each company has a certain ability to attack enemy positions with fortifications, and artillery fire can be supported nearby. Similar to the combat environment where we encircled and annihilated the 26th Division's hilltop positions, we have two or three companies that are sufficient."
Li Yunlong was convinced by what Gao Jianwu said. According to his changes, a company now has two 82mm (81mm) mortars and three 60mm mortars. This grassroots artillery configuration has two companies. It's more than a small army of artillery!
Now after being baptized by Gao Jianwu's artillery fire many times, Li Yunlong has completely changed his concept of human sea tactics and has begun to become the king of firepower, the most important of which is the superior artillery!
Mortars are lightweight and easy-to-use grass-roots artillery. After the company is strengthened, both offensive and defensive firepower are fully strengthened. Li Yunlong even feels that in a mountainous and canyonous area like Jindi, each company is more powerful than his original independent regiment. That's almost it. After all, there are 5 mortars, 12 light machine guns, and 13 Type 43 assault rifles with firepower no less than that of light machine guns. This kind of firepower is really not much worse than the old independent regiment.
This new company with enhanced firepower already has the ability to carry out independent operations to a certain extent. The number has reached 200 people, and it is quite powerful to seize strongholds and block attacks.
The only drawback is that the ammo is a bit useless.
However, according to combat needs, each company is equipped with 4 to 6 mules, horses and camels to carry ammunition, and there is no problem in crossing mountains and ridges. This is ideal in Jindi, which is mainly mountainous.
In fact, this new type of company has been able to partially undertake the combat tasks that the original main battalion could complete.
"At the infantry battalion level, there are three new infantry companies as the main ones, and a firepower company is added. The firepower company has a mortar platoon and two heavy machine gun platoons. The mortar platoon has six 82mm (81mm) mortars. For artillery fire, the heavy machine gun platoon has 4 heavy machine guns.
Including the reconnaissance platoon, communications platoon, and baggage platoon, a battalion is composed of five companies, with a basic strength of about a thousand people. In terms of communication, in addition to walkie-talkies, it is also equipped with miniaturized radios. "
hiss! After Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others heard Gao Jianwu's plan, they all involuntarily took a breath.
This configuration is too luxurious at the battalion level!
There is no doubt that a battalion like this can defeat three old independent regiments without any problem!
But is it really possible to equip nine 60mm mortars and 12 82mm mortars? Not long ago, the artillery battalion of the brigade commander was nothing more than that.
Is this really a battalion-level configuration?
According to Gao Jianwu's design, the battalion level is still a mountain infantry battalion, and all of them can use mules and horses or manpower to carry weapons and ammunition. This battalion-level main force maintains maximum mobility in Shanxi.
But the combat effectiveness is almost stronger than the previous regiment level.
At least it is better than the so-called main force groups such as the New Regiment or the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment.
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Gao Jianwu shook his head, feeling that he needed to open his eyes to them a little and open up their horizons.
"Even though our battalion-level equipment looks very luxurious, in fact, compared to our opponents on the European battlefield, this is just the beginning of the equipment. Taking the North American Eagle Battalion as an example, they have a heavy weapon that is equivalent to our firepower company. .
But they also have an anti-tank platoon at the battalion level, equipped with three 57mm anti-tank guns! "
Not to mention the country bumpkin Li Yunlong, even Zhao Gang, who was studying in a prestigious school, had no idea about this. "57mm anti-tank gun?" Li Yunlong's eyes flashed wildly. Just hearing this caliber, Li Yunlong felt the pressure of the opponent's firepower. Is it true that the gap between us and the world is already so big?
Compared with the great powers, the little devil is probably nothing, right?
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong suddenly had the idea of going out to have a look, but for the time being he said nothing.
"These are our infantry battalions. Next, we will have an artillery battalion at the battalion level, which is divided into a support artillery battalion and a main artillery battalion. The support artillery battalion is mainly composed of 92 infantry guns and 75mm mountain guns. Generally, it has a 6-gun 9-gun battalion. The Second Artillery Battery and two 6-gun 75mm mountain artillery batteries mainly provide artillery support for mountain operations;
The main artillery battalion focuses on fire suppression and attack, generally consisting of one battery of six 105mm howitzers and two batteries of six 75mm field artillery;
There is also a heavy artillery regiment focusing on siege, consisting of three batteries of six 105mm howitzers and one battery of six 150mm howitzers. "
"And we will gradually form some special units, air defense battalions and armored battalions. Each air defense battalion will be equipped with two companies of 12 20mm anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, and the armored battalion will be equipped with two tank companies of 13 tanks."
When Gao Jianwu said this, even Zhao Gang couldn't stand it anymore.
They have seen the heavy artillery regiment, and they can have this, but for this air defense battalion and armored battalion, isn't it really Gao Jianwu who is making a fool of themselves?
Where did anti-aircraft guns and tanks come from? Although the Japs have them there, they will not surrender unless these things are destroyed. Could it be that Gao Jianwu can organize people to go over there, kill the Japs tank soldiers and drive the tanks back?
Facing everyone's confused looks, Gao Jianwu smiled slightly and was not in a hurry to explain.
This matter cannot be explained clearly now. When the time comes and the things arrive, everything will become clear.
He followed his own train of thought and continued:
"Above the battalion level, it is our current assault group. Our current framework from the first assault group to the fourth assault group is very easy to use, and we will continue to use it in the future.
However, the organization of future assault groups can be relatively flexible to face different combat tasks.
To put it simply, each assault group does not have a fixed organization during combat, but a customized temporary organization based on a certain battle.
As for peacetime, actual combat drills are carried out regularly. According to the routine, three main infantry battalions and one support artillery battalion, one air defense battalion and one main artillery battalion jointly train to improve command and coordination capabilities. "
As soon as Gao Jianwu said this, the eyes of those who had not read the paper report began to be full of doubts. This unit also has a temporary combination method. Will the command be smooth when the battle comes?
This time, Gao Jianwu explained this before they could ask questions.
"You may suspect that the temporary combination is not smooth, but in fact it is not, because at the assault group level combat target, we are facing at least the Japs of the Japs Brigade and above.
In the past, we still had to assemble several regiments to besiege, so compared with our previous cooperative operations with several regiments, our temporary synthesis, which has undergone regular collaborative training, will definitely not be worse than the previous method. .
Change source app]
In fact, with radios and walkie-talkies, our group commanders can even command the company on the battlefield! Although most won't do this. "
"For example, for the current independent mixed brigade-level Japs, we can now use three main infantry battalions, one support artillery battalion, and one air defense battalion to carry out operations, which can basically defeat them. If we add one more main battalion to outflank, then even It can achieve the effect of encirclement and annihilation. If it is a terrain with high mountains and deep valleys like Dagushan, we can achieve this goal with fewer troops."
"To deal with the little devils at the division level, we can take 5 to 7 main infantry battalions, strengthen the artillery battalions, form an attack group with 2 support artillery battalions, 2 main artillery battalions, and an air defense battalion, and use overwhelming force The artillery fire defeated or even defeated them head-on."
"When it comes to attacking a big city like Jinyang or a battle involving more than two divisions, we will attack with two or three attack groups and heavy artillery regiments.
In this way, we usually use the main battalion to build the training force, and use the basic unit attack group to conduct drills and synthesis, forming a flexible organization with a simple command hierarchy and changeable tasks. The number of non-combatants in the entire force has also been greatly reduced. The combat effectiveness improvement effect is very big. "
After hearing Gao Jianwu's adjustment, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had to take some time to digest it, because for them, this method similar to the combined brigade of later generations is very different from the current unified establishment.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment are too luxurious. An attack group can gather 64 high-caliber cannons. This configuration is indeed a treatment only available to the old divisions of the Little Devils. Now these newly formed triple-B divisions even The second-tier security divisions are no match at all.
It can be said that in the North China battlefield, Gao Jianwu's highly equipped attack group has a chance of winning against almost any Japanese division.
"So how many battalions can we form with such a unit?" Zhao Gang was the first to react and asked, suppressing his excitement.
In fact, there is no accurate data on the capture of Jinyang yet. Only Gao Jianwu, a fool, has a rough idea of how many heavy weapons there are now. The announced results will naturally not report these key data, so now Zhao Gang and others It’s unclear how many goodies were obtained.
