Chapter 23 Combat effectiveness is reflected in military discipline!
According to the standard US military corps-level organization, Cun Yunsheng definitely can't afford it, let alone anything else.
Each regiment is equipped with 6 105mm howitzers and 12 57mm anti-tank guns.
This thing may not be enough for even a Class A division, let alone a regiment level one.
There is no need to mention the Class B division, which is just an enhanced version of the brigade level organization.
Even worse than some main groups.
That is to say, some direct troops can barely be gathered together.
Even if they were gathered together, there were not many shells, and they would be used up after a battle.
Therefore, Cun Yunsheng had to cut some things.
Apart from that, he was also unable to manage the battalion-level organization.
Forget about anti-tank guns; he didn't have any.
Even the Central Army may not have it.
Maybe there was some at the beginning of the war, but now it is good enough to maintain the production of rifles and bullets.
Therefore, the weapons required by the US military's battalion-level organization, such as rocket launchers and 82mm mortars, can just be taken for fun.
The only thing that can be gathered together may be the 60mm mortar.
The key thing that restricts him is the artillery.
It's easy to make a cannon, but without professional artillerymen, you'll just be a target for the enemy.
Moreover, the Japanese troops on the opposite side are all elite troops with very strong combat effectiveness.
Especially in the use of grenade launchers, it is definitely one of the best.
Therefore, if his artillerymen are a bunch of idiots who know nothing, they would be just delivering food to the enemy.
After deleting and cutting for a long time, Cun Yunsheng finally came up with a plan.
That is a battalion-level organization of 60 people, requiring a total of rifles, ten light and heavy machine guns, and five mm mortars.
Originally, he wanted to equip each squad with a light machine gun to strengthen the squad's firepower.
But when you calculate, this thing consumes too much ammunition.
And he doesn't have that many weapons.
The remaining personnel are responsible for the transportation and handling of ammunition, as well as logistics and food.
In other words, there are only about 400 people in a battalion who can fight, and the rest are logistics personnel.
He really couldn't get a fully equipped and fully staffed organization where everyone had a gun.
Even if we get it, traveling in mountainous areas will pose a huge challenge to logistics.
He can't afford to play anymore.
This is just the compilation under the extremely ideal conditions.
In fact, the rifle weapons are barely complete, let alone light and heavy machine guns and mortars, it is estimated that it will be difficult to even get half of them.
Not to mention the personnel. Even if they are gathered, they still need to be provided with ammunition and training.
After all, many veterans haven’t fought in a war for several months, so they must first become familiar with guns. It will be too late if they wait until they are on the battlefield to become familiar with them.
For a moment, the worry on Cun Yunsheng's face became even more intense.
Suddenly I felt that it would be more comfortable to just be a main team leader. It's too difficult to start from scratch.
No wonder his superiors kept shaking their heads and sighing after hearing his request.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. I don't know if my uncles and aunts have received the letters I sent home. Even a little help would be nice." Cun Yunsheng sighed.
There is no difficulty in battalion and company platooning, as it mainly relies on light weapons.
At the regimental level, he naturally thought about strengthening the firepower to a certain extent.
In addition to the regiment guard company, there is also a communications company, which he plans to hand over to Meng Fan. This guy is actually also a top student, but he has not played his role well. He believes that in his hands, he will definitely be able to play a huge role.
However, it is still in the stage of being organized, without any equipment or personnel.
The engineering company was to be handed over to Kang Huojian, who had done transportation before, so he would have no problem with the engineering part. In addition, Cun Yunsheng was also going to set up a fire support company, which would be equipped with 81mm mortars and several heavy machine guns to support various battlefields at any time.
However, due to the lack of qualified artillery, these are still to be built.
"Commander, what are you drawing?" Meng Fanle stood behind Cun Yunsheng and asked in confusion.
Cun Yunsheng was startled and turned around, looked at Meng Fanle, and said speechlessly.
"You walk so lightly, like a ghost, what do you want to do?"
"Commander, you are falsely accusing me. You are too involved." Meng cried out in annoyance.
"Okay, okay, what's the matter?" Cun Yunsheng knew he was in the wrong, so he changed the subject.
In response to this, Meng Fanle could only roll his eyes and speak seriously.
"The team has completed the training. The brothers asked me to ask when they can get the guns."
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng glanced at him and then said lightly.
"When the queue is well trained, we will send it out."
Meng Fanle's face instantly turned bitter. He felt that practicing marching was too boring.
"Do you think training in formation is too boring?" Cun Yunsheng naturally saw what the other person was thinking and pointed it out directly.
"Yes." Meng Fanle admitted it generously. It was not a shameful thing anyway.
"Have you heard of the German-equipped division?" Cun Yunsheng did not start by talking about the importance of formations, but instead gave an example.
Naturally, everyone has heard of the name of the German-equipped division.
The final swan song is even more pessimistic.
"When the German-equipped division was first established, military discipline and formation were the top priorities, because the German army believed that the combat effectiveness of a unit was composed of military discipline, so the German military discipline was very strict."
"In addition to military law, military discipline is also reflected in the formation."
"The German-equipped divisions trained by German military advisers perfectly inherited this style. Therefore, during the war of resistance, the German-equipped divisions had the upper hand and once suppressed the Japanese army."
Cun Yunsheng’s words surprised Meng Fan greatly. He did not expect that the German-equipped division had such a glorious record.
"Are you surprised?" Cun Yunsheng was not surprised by Meng Fanle's behavior.
"A little bit, indeed." Meng nodded angrily, then sighed.
"I thought it was always this bad."
"I didn't expect that we would have such a proud record. I have always wondered how the Japanese could suppress us with just those three tricks."
"After the artillery bombards, the infantry charges. After the infantry charges, the artillery bombards. It will always be like this."
Cun Yunsheng naturally knew the answer to Meng Fanle’s doubts.
"With the same weapons and the same military qualities, we crushed the Japanese army. The German-equipped division has proved to us that the Japanese army is not an unbreakable myth."
"Now, I can provide you with excellent weapons, but in terms of military literacy, we are still far behind. This month, I will strictly enforce military discipline, and formations are the most important component."
This time, Meng Fanle didn't say much, but saluted silently, then returned to the team and began to train the troops.
Looking at Meng Fanle walking away, Cun Yunsheng showed a relieved smile on his face.
Once this top student figures it out, everything becomes much simpler.
Sure enough, soon loud singing was heard on the training ground.
“The flags are fluttering, the horses are galloping.
Gun on shoulder, knife on waist, blood rushing like a raging tide.
Good men, good men, good men serve their country today.
Get up quickly, don't be an old sick man;
Let’s unite quickly and don’t let others become scattered and ridiculed.
The country is destroyed and the family is broken, disaster is imminent.
To survive, you must sacrifice your head!"
"A good man should serve his country today." Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but sing along, while looking further away.
