The next day, on the outskirts of Lashio, the garrison of the 2nd Supplementary Regiment was in full swing, and although they had just arrived in Lashio, the officers and men of the regiment still sounded the trumpet on time, got up, ran drills, and went around the garrison to conduct long-distance running training and assassination training in full armor.
Except for the offensive and defensive tactics at the battalion and regiment level, which could not be fully implemented due to field factors, other physical training and combat skill training that could be done were carried out by the whole regiment without water.
The training vigor and enthusiasm of the officers and men are even more blazing than in China for two reasons: First, after the pledge meeting and many educations, the sense of honor and cohesion of the officers and men have risen to a higher level; second, that is, the improvement of weapons and equipment has indirectly led to the soldiers' desire for training.
After Hou Teng's batch of equipment arrived, the equipment level of the whole regiment was improved again, Zhang Wei changed its equipment early in the morning, and the main equipment of this change was the Thomson submachine gun, and there were 200 submachine guns from the British, and Zhang Wei used it to equip the company commanders and platoon commanders of the whole regiment, as well as the combat leaders of each infantry squad and the platoon attached to the infantry platoon.
When he was in Baoshan, Commander Du transferred the batch of Thomson submachine guns, but only completed the refitting of the infantry squad leader, deputy squad leader and special service platoon.
Each infantry squad has 12 people, and there are four combat team leaders, all of whom are veterans and squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, and each has the responsibility of commanding in the infantry squad.
Previously, in addition to the squad leader and deputy squad leader, the other two team leaders of each squad still used rifles, and after getting this batch of submachine guns in the hands of the British, the combat team leaders of each squad immediately completed the redress, and the company platoon commander and other grassroots combat officers, and the grassroots platoon sergeants also took the brand-new Thomson submachine guns, and the melee assault firepower was further enhanced.
At present, the second supplementary regiment has four submachine guns in each squad, and there are 14 submachine guns attached to the platoon commander platoon in three squads of a platoon, and the second regiment is fully supplemented, and the assault firepower of a regiment has exceeded that of the Japanese army, and even the British army in Burma.
When the Japanese launched a white-knuckle attack on the platoon of the second supplementary regiment, they would be greeted by dense melee firepower composed of dozens of Thomson submachine guns.
Zhang Wei felt a little fluttering, the current Zhang Wei and the Second Supplementary Regiment have a faint sense of some local tyrant troops, the local tyrants are good, firepower, and the firepower of grassroots combat units equipped with horizontal bars has far exceeded that of the Japanese army.
If other troops were to see the level of equipment of the Second Supplementary Regiment, there might be how many people would be greedy.
However, there are advantages, and there are certainly disadvantages, a regiment is equipped with so many submachine guns, and the consumption of ammunition has to be doubled, and submachine guns are different from bolt-action rifles, and when the trigger is pulled, a shuttle bullet is gone, and the 11.43 mm bullet of the Thomson submachine gun is not very easy to handle.
It can't be made in China, only the British have it, and on the issue of submachine gun ammunition, Zhang Wei still has to worry a lot, and the existing 11.43 mm submachine gun ammunition in the regiment looks like a lot, but the submachine gun shooting is like pouring water, and if you say no, you don't have it.
Other equipment was not wasted, those Lee Enfeld rifles, and more than a dozen Bren light machine guns, Zhang Wei did not stay in the warehouse to eat ashes, and simply equipped them with the combat engineer company in the regiment, the combat engineer company has four platoons, two earthwork platoons, and two bridge platoons, which are sappers and elite infantry.
These four platoons separated the Lee Enfield rifle and the Bulun light machine gun, replaced the original 79 Zhongzheng rifle and Czech light machine gun, and realized the "British mechanization" of the whole company, and the bayonet of the Enfield rifle, the grenade launcher, and the British-made Mills Egg grenade were also thrown to the engineer company.
Zhang Wei assigned British-style equipment such as Enfield rifles and Bren light machine guns to the engineer company, mainly because of the company's combat characteristics, and it was necessary to carry out explosives and assaults under the noses of the Japanese army, and use blasting canisters to break the enemy at close range, which required higher melee firepower.
Under the same level of training, the rate of fire of the Lee Enfield rifle is faster than that of the Lieutenant, and the soldiers of the Engineer Company can effectively increase the output of the rifle firepower after refitting the gun, and the combination of the Lee Enfield and Thomson submachine guns is more powerful than the combination of the Formal and Thomson in the infantry companies of the Second Regiment, and the Bren light machine gun for the Engineer Company is also stronger than the original Czech one, and after this reload, the Engineer Company has become the strongest company in the regiment.
The engineer company also has the most abundant weapons in the regiment, the rifle is Lee Enfield, equipped with the corresponding gun grenade launcher and Mills grenade, the submachine gun is Thomson 1928, plus the engineer company's self-made blasting canister, which fits the concept of "combat engineer" very well.
As for the six British-made boynes anti-tank guns, Zhang Wei handed them over to the soldiers of the special service platoon to learn how to use them, so that the soldiers of the special service platoon could master the basic operation of the guns, and after learning to use them, once necessary, the soldiers of the special service platoon could use them at any time to fight, which was enough.
With the new guns in hand, how could the enthusiasm of the officers and men for combat and training not be heightened, and even the sound of killing during the training of assassination was much louder.
At the station, Zhang Wei and Hou Teng were strolling, watching the training of the Second Supplementary Regiment, and some officers of the Expeditionary Force's Advance Staff Corps and officers of the Anglo-Burmese Army, and soldiers also stopped to watch, looking curiously at the Chinese troops in training.
Hou Teng was very interested in the training of the Supplementary Second Regiment, he had previously served in the rear, rarely came to the front line, and did not have much contact with the real combat troops, the Supplementary Second Regiment that fought in the midst of the war aroused Hou Teng's great interest, the live ammunition shooting of the combat engineer company, the collective assassination drills of each infantry company, the long-distance running with heavy loads and the construction of artillery positions were even more open.
"Your brother really has a set of soldiers, such a strong soldier, I see it for the first time, Du Jun is heavy on you, there is a reason, the troops are full of personnel, strong physique, sharp tactics, is a rare elite, to be honest, I used to serve in Chongqing, the rear garrison I saw is really bad, and your people are very different, those troops in the rear, most of the soldiers are thin and weak, weak and can't help the wind, only a small number of people have seen the past, the officers are corrupt, and they usually patrol in the suburbs of the city to make up a number.
Pulling to the battlefield can only be scattered as birds and beasts.
Hou Teng looked at the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment who were stepping up training and said.
Compared with the style of the rear troops, the style of the Second Supplementary Regiment can be described as one heaven and one underground, and the difference is extremely far, and Hou Teng sighed greatly in his heart.
Zhang Wei: "The senior has a good reputation, the training is not difficult, the key depends on whether the commander has the determination and conscience, I just did the duty that the commander of the army should do, as long as the chief officer is in place, due diligence, the army will not be bad, set an example in training, fair appointment in personnel, do not drink the blood of soldiers, these points are done, how can the soldiers below rot The troops in the rear have been peaceful for a long time, and it is normal for the atmosphere to be bad without the baptism of war." ” "That's reasonable, by the way, these weapons I got from drinking with me are not bad, I see that your soldiers are all used."
Zhang Wei laughed: "It's very easy to use, it's very easy to use, thank you senior, these equipment you gave me are really not bad, but your amount of alcohol needs to be strengthened, I was pulled over and didn't do anything, you pulled people to drink first." ” Hou Teng feigned anger and said: "Don't laugh, or you will compare and contrast at night."
"Hehe, just kidding, seniors, don't mind, let's watch the training of the troops" On the field, the officers and men of the companies of the Second Supplementary Regiment were practicing offensive and defensive tactics in the form of formed companies.
Captain Zhang Xitong, the commander of a battalion and a company, carried a Thomson submachine gun on his back and gave an order to attack, and after the order was issued, the soldiers of the command squad around Zhang Xitong quickly ran to convey the order, and immediately, the whole company of the company was deployed, and the mortar squad of the company of the company quickly made preparations for firing, and the mortars of the first squad dug up the firing positions step by step, erected 60 mortars, and the firing positions of the three mortars were quickly dug up, and at the same time, more than 100 infantry of the first company began to bend down and advance rapidly.
The attacking platoon accelerated, the reserve platoon stood by in the rear, and everything was in clear order.
The squad leader, the veterans held Thomson submachine guns, whistled and directed the soldiers to spread out the formation, the riflemen of the assault group got on the bayonets, followed closely by their comrades, and accelerated the assault with the combat group as a unit, the covering grenadier group followed up after the assault group, the shooter of the grenadier group held the grenadier canister, the deputy shooter held the spare ammunition, and the Czech light machine gunner was prostrate on the ground, ready to fire at any time.
"Kill" After approaching quickly, the infantry platoon that was responsible for the attack suddenly made a loud killing sound and launched a charge, and the infantry of a battalion and a company of attackers, shouting and killing, launched a final charge, and there was only one infantry company's strength.
But the momentum of the rush is full "Dada" On the training ground not far from the first company, the gunfire was loud, and the commander of the engineer company, He Jinhai, waved the red flag in his hand, and the soldiers of the two platoons of the engineer company pulled the trigger of the rifles in their hands.
He Jinhai: "Unmounted" Originally, when changing to a new rifle, many veterans of the engineer company were reluctant, but after using it, the veterans found that the Enfield rifle was good, not to mention the large ammunition capacity, the rate of fire was fast, and it was quickly able to get started with more than a dozen rounds, and Zhang Wei also taught He Jinhai the rapid-fire tactics of the Lee Enfield rifle, which was implemented in the engineer company.
This batch of British weapons was finally welcomed by the officers and men of the engineer company.
He Jinhai: "Rapid Fire Ready to Release" "Dadada" The continuous sound of 7.7mm rifle rounds like light machine guns was endless Please remember that the first domain name of this book is:.
