After Zhang Wei finished adding two artillery companies, the officers were extremely interested, and asked Zhang Wei in a gossipy manner, this addition of two artillery companies is not a trivial matter, according to the 27th year of the people's establishment, the regiment directly under the unit has no artillery at all, and in the specific use, the Fifth Army is to concentrate the battalion's 82 mortars and organize an 82 mortar company, while Zhang Wei proposed to add two artillery companies, and the firepower directly under the regiment is greatly enhanced compared with the standard firepower.
"Captain, the two additional artillery companies will be of great benefit to future battles, but the artillery that our army may be equipped with at present is only a 20-year-old mortar, and if two companies are formed, there will be no mortar."
Qiu Wei was very smart, he knew the gap between the advanced establishment and the standard establishment of the Fifth Army, and after Zhang Wei proposed to add two artillery companies, he immediately understood that one of them must be a mortar company, because the regiments of the Fifth Army basically were formed by the mortar platoon of the battalion and the artillery company.
Qiu Wei felt that one of the two artillery companies Zhang Wei mentioned must be a mortar company, and he had no way of knowing what the configuration of that artillery company was.
"That's right, I plan to form a mortar company, a regiment with three infantry battalions, the battalion has an eighty-two mortar platoon, the regiment has an eighty-two mortar company, the mortar company is organized in accordance with the general rules, a company, equipped with six twenty-year-old eighty-two mortars, as a regiment directly under the reinforcement firepower, mainly focused shooting, and each battalion with the eighty-two mortars to take care of, in this way, our entire regiment has twelve eighty-two mortars, but also a not weak firepower, in the curved firepower, pressing the devil to fight, this other company, I prepare, Flat-firing guns.
Zhang Wei said lightly.
The formation of flat-firing artillery is what he has thought about a long time ago, as for the specific scale of artillery, Zhang Wei has not determined it, how many are compiled, how to make it, Zhang Wei has not completely decided, after all, this thing is not at all Zhang Wei can be compiled as much as he wants, not to mention anything else, now where to find the artillery is not found, Zhang Wei simply assumed that it was organized into a flat-fire artillery company, how to make it in actual operation, it remains to be discussed, The reason for the addition of flat-fire guns naturally comes from the lessons on the battlefield, and this should ask what Zhang Wei hated the most in the process of fighting the Japanese army, that must be the Japanese army's 92 infantry guns and 94-type 37 flat-fire guns, these two kinds of flat-fire guns are definitely the weapons that caused the greatest casualties to the teaching brigade on the battlefield outside the mountain artillery.
In the final stage of Kunlun Pass, when the teaching brigade attacked the Japanese position, the Japanese army arranged the 94-type 37 flat-fire guns in Kunlun Pass, and at the same time, there was also a small artillery group composed of 41-type mountain guns that were fired flat, causing heavy casualties to the teaching brigade The straight trajectory makes the flat-firing artillery effective in both attacking and attacking infantry, and the mortar of the teaching brigade is a curved artillery, and it is very difficult to attack and bombard fortifications under the same circumstances, the so-called flat-firing artillery, although it is named according to the ballistics, but in the eyes of the officers of the national army, these three words are more to describe the small and medium-caliber barreled artillery, such as combat defense artillery and infantry howitzers.
Zhang Wei wanted to equip the second regiment with a small and medium-caliber barrel cannon, of course, the model has not yet been determined, because the objective conditions are here, what kind of gun to use, not what Zhang Wei said to use whatever he wanted.
Now it is about to be expanded into a supplementary second regiment, and the firepower of the Fifth Army's mountain artillery and flat-firing artillery is all assigned to the units directly under the army, and unless it is delegated in wartime, there will be no effective reinforcement of flat-firing firepower at all, and Zhang Wei, who has suffered losses on the battlefield, does not want to suffer any more losses, the Japanese army has flat-firing firepower, and its own troops must also be strengthened, and when they arrive on the battlefield, they will have to take revenge on the devils sooner or later.
When it came to equipping flat-firing guns, several officers naturally raised their hands in agreement, but the problem ensued, and several people knew that it was easy to say, but it was difficult to actually assemble.
"Flat-firing artillery, captain, where to find that thing, if it is impossible to manage the army, we are changing the troop establishment without permission, and we can't put it on the table, besides, even if we want it in the army, the army can't give us the anti-aircraft artillery, the divisional artillery of each division is mortar, why is it our turn to assign a regiment to anti-aircraft artillery" Mu Chao said stupidly.
"Lao Mu is right, captain, this cannon can't be asked for in the army."
Zheng Yiqun echoed.
Zhang Wei didn't care about the reaction of a few people, artillery, he didn't plan to ask for it in the army at the beginning of the fight, because he knew that he would not come, not to mention that there was basically no domestic artillery replenishment capability, the Fifth Army was currently close to a total of one combat defense artillery battalion, and a few more guns were divided into a supplementary regiment.
No matter how much Commander Du Rao trusted and supported Zhang Wei, it was impossible for him to give Zhang Wei the precious army-level anti-aircraft guns, and Zhang Wei had already thought of another source of artillery.
Zhang Wei turned to He Kun, He Kun noticed Zhang Wei's gaze, and looked at Zhang Wei in a daze.
"The matter of artillery depends on He Kun."
He Kun had been listening, and when he saw Zhang Wei's gaze, he was very uncomfortable, but this guy was also clever, and after half a minute, he understood what Zhang Wei meant.
"Captain, you mean, let me go to that place and get some artillery" Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction.
"Yet" That's right, Zhang Wei has no choice but to engage in artillery.
You have to let He Kun go to the black market to find it, there is no formal source channel, you have to go the wrong way, it is really a helpless move, on this black market, there are weapons and equipment resold by various troops, there are weapons and equipment that flow everywhere, and even the weapons produced by the arsenal a few years ago can be sold privately.
Zhang Wei thought, in the midst of war, although the cannon is not easy to get, let He Kun find it carefully, and if he is lucky, he may be able to find the artillery.
"This artillery" He Kun pondered for a while.
"Captain, I dare to guarantee that there is no problem with ordinary weapons, but this cannon, but big guys, few people in the army dare to sell this thing, they dare to sell machine guns, and they sell the cannon, I really haven't seen a few, I'm afraid it will take some time to find it, besides, even if I find it, the condition is not necessarily good."
"It's okay, you try your best to do it, you can find it, mainly focus on the small artillery, the flat-fire artillery to find, if there is a war defense artillery is better, although it is unlikely, in short, you do your best, if you can't find it, I will think of another way."
Zhang Wei relieved He Kun, and didn't mention the model or anything, only asked him to find the flat-fire gun that he could find, Zhang Wei wanted to find the cannon first, and if he could choose, he would pick the right model when the time came.
He Kun thought about it.
"I'm going to look for it on the black market tomorrow" ：。
