Chapter 54: Army building

After relocation and several expansions, the main army battalion of the Civilian Regiment in 1923 was enough to accommodate one and a half divisions to train, review and even small-scale low-intensity confrontation exercises!
According to the basic training regulations of the militia soldiers issued in 1916, the militia training was divided into three parts: morning, middle, and evening. Now is the season of winter and spring alternation. Before 6 am, only the sentry who was on duty at night could be seen in the barracks, standing on the high guard tower, facing the rising sun.
At 6 o'clock, after receiving the order, the commander of the corps headquarters blew up the wake-up number. The sharp wake-up number was like a thunder. Facing the rising sun and piercing the last dimness of the early morning, he announced a new day of training Start.
On the 1st brigade, there was a sudden movement in the camp of the 3rd brigade, and soldiers were constantly rushing out of the dormitory in about seven minutes!
"Everything! Take a break! Lizheng! Report!"
"... take a break ... Li Zheng ..."
In less than ten minutes, the open space in front of a dormitory had lined up and stood in line. A group of ten people is a small dormitory, and one row is just enough for a neat queue.
Dressed neatly, carrying a 20 kg march bag on his back, and a Huaxia-style rifle with a bayonet was neatly carried by half. After the count is completed, the platoons are gathered on the big playground, and they stand on the basis of the company. The original large empty playground was suddenly crowded with soldiers from the two brigades. At present, the two brigades of the militia are about 7,000 without full staffing.
I stood on the big playground and watched the soldiers prepare for morning exercises before Zhang Shusheng went to the school's reading stand. Since the establishment of the Confederate League eight years ago, Zhang Shusheng got up every morning and watched the army or the students perform exercises. The army was getting stronger, and a large-scale dress change was imminent. He was full of expectations for his soldiers.
The army is the patron saint of a nation. It is not how much money it spends and how strict it can be to form combat effectiveness, but to create a special army soul. An army without a military soul will only become someone's logistics transport captain on the battlefield.
学生 Students are the future of the nation. Like the military, their importance should not only be reflected in getting excellent financial care.
Every Monday and Friday morning, Zhang Shusheng went to the militia and went to the school playground on the 2nd and 4th. The family business is getting bigger and bigger. I am full of energy, but I am a little earlier. With the current size of the army and students, I can completely lead the way.
"It's all there! Take a break, Lizheng! The five-kilometer weight-bearing off-road march begins !!!" Facing the dawn, watching Chen Hui refracting the cold light on a bayonet, Zhang Shusheng finally ordered an exercise.
At the same time, on the Yunwu Mountain more than twenty miles away, the second brigade is stationed here. The establishment of the second brigade is more complicated. Both the base of the Bandit 2nd Battalion of Yunwu Mountain at the time, and some large and small pirate teams that were later compiled, plus the reserve group that belonged to the 2nd Brigade during the war, formed the seemingly chaotic Second Brigade. . But it looks messy, but it's not. Dedicated to mobilizing Zhuge Sheng, an iron army, every morning he and the brigade commander Tiesangan carried the saber on the playground, and followed the training throughout.
上 On the same big playground, Zhu Gesheng, Tie Sangan, and Chu Shiwen, the head of the reserve team, stood on the school stand. The instructor of the Second Brigade, Zhu Gesheng, waved his hand: Armed off-road! !!
After less than 30 minutes, the off-roading was over. Zhang Shusheng did not leave as usual, but went to the canteen to check the food routinely. The logistic staff in the cafeteria could recognize this division commander who was wearing a major general uniform and came to check in person at every turn.
The breakfast of the soldiers was very rich. The steamed buns and porridge were two staple foods, and the other four vegetarian dishes were enough. It is far more than the domestic food ration in the same period. Of course, it is such high-standard food treatment that enables such high-intensity training.
In the super-sized simple canteen, Zhang Shusheng and Wu Tiejun, Jiang Baili, Tao Qian, Chen Jun, Li Junming and other senior commanders of the militia also had a table on their own, with food exactly the same as ordinary soldiers. This is not to do anything. Except for Zhang Shusheng, the other seven people, as long as there is no delay in urgent tasks, they all eat here every Friday and Friday.
I was originally proposed by Jiang Baili. The country was weak and the world was in troubled times, so why did n’t you bring soldiers? Therefore, the army corps officers started from several people, including all middle and lower rank officers. And with Zhang Shusheng's consent, this order that shared the pain and suffering was also written into the military order of the militias.
"It's all people with their heads tied to their belts. If even your officers feel that the army's three meals are unpalatable, why do you eat big fish and meat for the soldiers?"
During the period of death, a company commander once found Zhang Shusheng and came up with the distinction between inferiority and inferiority, and resolutely opposed this. The result was very simple. Zhang Shusheng withdrew him on the spot. Really thought that I had spent money to raise fat pigs? You have to respect Lao Tzu as other places. The troops are Lao Tzu. They are not for you. They are not honorable.
Noble identity is not manifested in privileges, but in the charisma of transcendental first-class personality, and in the great role of example.
After eating breakfast, Zhang Shusheng, Jiang Baili and others went to see the individual training and combo training in person. Different from traditional training subjects, it goes without saying that the basic training content has greatly enhanced trench trenching, position exercises, and offensive and defensive exercises.
After the soldiers joined the army, when the recruits were training, in addition to a gun and a shovel, these two things will always accompany them.
"How is the military-civilian construction in the training subjects going now?" On the training ground, a few soldiers on the hills reserved aside, the soldiers of the militia group are throwing their arms away, wielding shovel, and digging out one. The curved serpentine trenches are complemented by concealed traffic ditches, scattered foxholes, and deep-dug bomb shelters.
Often a mountain is a company, or even a battalion excavating at the same time. In addition to the more difficult projects such as matching bomb shelters, a simple 30-meter-long simple trench can be dug in an hour.
"Go on target !!"
Under the watchful eye of the militia commanders, more than one hundred engineers quickly placed hundreds of targets at 200m, 150m, 100m, and 50m intervals. Part of the target is not a dead target. The engineers pull the rope and pull part of the target to form the simplest moving target.
This is not to be shown to the commanders of the militias. People like Wu Tiejun and Jiang Baili, in addition to being responsible for some militias and staff affairs, spend a considerable part of their time in supervising the training of troops. If the troops have no combat effectiveness, everything else is ridiculous. Once every three days, the actual combat training twice a week was settled.
"Fire!"
With the orders of several company commanders, the heavy machine gun fired first, and the rate of fire was adjusted to a slow speed. With a rate of fire of 100 rounds per minute and a maximum range of nearly kilometers, the target at a distance of 200 meters was easily shot. A strong shot fired each of the wooden targets into pieces. Next, the sniper gunner, which was mainly deployed by the militias, put the distant moving target into the optical sight, and calculated slightly, some people could hit the moving target with the first shot.
Although the Huaxia rifle is not as powerful as the first two weapons, it has more advantages. After pulling the bolts for a while, aiming and firing, the target with a maximum range of nearly 800 meters can easily hit the target at a distance of 100 meters. Hit a pair.
"Throw defensive grenades !!"
With a command from the company commander, dozens of soldiers responsible for bombing took out a melon-shaped grenade around his waist, pulled the ring, delayed it slightly, and threw it out.
boom! boom! boom! In a burst of grenade explosions, the targets at 50 meters were blown into the sky one by one.
不错 "Yes, the new explosives are powerful. The new 1918 grenade did not disappoint me."
"Yeah, this type of grenade is much more advanced than the various types of grenades currently equipped by warlords in various departments in China." Jiang Baili, who knows the inside story of each old Chinese military today, praised that compared with the civilian groups, with the speed of the replacement, Regardless of whether it is in equipment or training, warlords have begun to show a comprehensive backwardness.
Zhang Shusheng nodded, and the new explosives were first applied to new types of mines with relatively low technical content and new mines including anti-infantry and anti-armor mines. The arsenal first came up with an oval grenade that provided drawings for itself. The overall performance was excellent, the volume was small, but it was not too light. Explosive power and debris killing effect are good. When one goes down, it has a very good killing effect within a range of 10 meters.
"The effect of this training is very obvious. The new weapon also performs well, which means it costs some money!" Wu Tiejun nodded. After a few years of sleep, the new weapons will be gradually distributed to the army. As the deputy division commander of the militias, he is extremely looking forward to it.
Zhang Shusheng: "You can make more money when you run out of money, and you have one more pit when you're gone! Don't be distressed by this little money. Let's go and see how the artillerymen perform !!"
The puppet artillery's training base is not here. In case of a single shot, it is enough to miss it. In Dahewan, a few miles away from the barracks, this is the training base for the artillery barracks. Throughout the Dahe Bay, the water flows turbulently. It usually serves as a simple pontoon bridge and also serves as an artillery base.
The unique wide river surface, where artillery positions are set up two miles away from the shore, hits the river bank of 700 to 800 meters, and hits the unmanned mountain on the opposite side. There are also several miles away. It is the perfect artillery training ground. .
When Zhang Shusheng and others came to the artillery battalion directly under the division, they were catching up with the training. The soldiers of the artillery battalion had already set up their artillery positions and were about to conduct live-fire training.
"Director-in-chief, the artillery battalion directly under the civilian regiment is conducting live ammunition training, and the artillery battalion battalion commander Xia Hai came to report!" Summer cadre of the artillery battalion battalion came to Zhang Shusheng to salute the report. Has considerable artillery talent. After coming to the militia group, he followed the artillery leader Herman to study for half a year before he was officially in charge of the militia artillery unit.
From the beginning of a 75mm German Krupp gun to today's militia artillery battalion, for more than five years, the militia artillery force has turned upside down.
"Xia Ying, you tell us about the firepower configuration of the artillery battalion !!!" Zhang Shusheng signaled.
"Yes!" Speaking of a baby-like artillery battalion, a little bit of the original Hai Hai disappeared in summer, turning and pointing at a cannon on the artillery position with the gun barrel: "At present, the artillery battalion is equipped with a total of 16 1920 Annual 75mm field gun, equipped with old-style artillery shells, with a maximum range of 7.8 kilometers. With the current limited supply of new shells, the maximum range can be increased by 9 kilometers. In addition, a defensive short-range firepower class with four improved marks Qin heavy machine gun. "
"What training subjects are you doing today?"
"Both ammunitions are arranged for live fire."
With a single order, eight 75mm wild artillery guns equipped with old-fashioned shells were fired, followed by wild artillery fired with new shells. The results of the comparison are obvious. Regardless of the range, at least a few miles from the military telescope can be seen on the hill opposite the river, the explosion effect is completely different.
"Chairman, according to the statistics, the data of the new artillery shells are comprehensively ahead of the old ones, especially in terms of the kill radius and killing effect, which has increased by about 30%."
Zhang Shusheng nodded with satisfaction, and turned back to talk with the cheerful Jiang Baili and others. Although it was known that the new artillery battalion had just been distributed by the Civilian Artillery Battalion, I did not expect to be able to catch up with the live observation of live ammunition today.
"Not to mention the western artillery, the artillery deployed by the Japanese brigade regiment is much stronger than the old domestic army. Now our militia has a field gun produced by ourselves, coupled with advanced new artillery shells. It ’s not like I ’m being beaten up.
Jiang Baili's face glowed with surprises, not only him, but also others. What is the current army? The army is soldiers + guns. With the best soldiers, plus good guns and cannons, it is the true strong army. I used to want to buy a cannon. I can't buy it from grandparents in the West, but now I can produce it myself. How can I not let these patriotic soldiers get excited?
After the defeat of Germany, in addition to the dismantled weapons and equipment, many were also removed by the Allies. Zhang Shusheng tried every means to finally use penicillin-equivalent gold medicine to exchange back from France an old production line at a German artillery factory and a more advanced diesel engine production line. Of course, before 1919, the American Kenneth came forward to negotiate and purchase under the pretext of operating a foreign bank business in China.
However, the production of artillery is very difficult. Even Herman and the group of German experts who have been half lucrative and abducted are limited by the shortage of workers and the scary rate of seamless steel pipe. It was not until 1920 that the first 75mm wild artillery was produced ~ EbookFREE.me ~ As for the production of new explosives, it has been a bumpy road. A team of Chinese scholars led by the time-honored chemist Shi Guangyi, is full. It took four years to overcome all the technical difficulties. According to the new explosive technology provided by Zhang Shusheng, the first batch of qualified cannonball explosives was produced in 1922, and the first batch of new cannonballs and grenades were produced at the end of the year. It is expected that by next year, a new type of medium-caliber bullet will also be available.
Considering the special terrain, backward transportation conditions, and the potential low-intensity war situation in the southwest, the militias did not finally launch large-caliber artillery at the beginning. Instead, they began production in reserve in January 1922 at a rate of two doors in January. 1921 type 105mm field gun. In this way, the division artillery battalion will temporarily be dominated by 75mm wild artillery, the combat brigade will be dominated by mountain artillery companies, and regiments and below will be dominated by 1919-style mortars.
Zhang Zhangsheng originally wanted to go to the cavalry company and the transportation company again, but suddenly a serviceman came to report by car.
"Master, Miss Lu is here! She said that there are important things to find the teacher!"
-----------------
I feel better, and the update speeds up gradually. In fact, it is not that the fishermen update too slowly, but often a chapter is 5000-7 / 8000 words. This chapter is also more than 4,000 words, which is too much disadvantage compared to the 2 / 3K party. You know, readers don't go to numbers. The fisherman will try to be more and more, and the number of words is more.
As for the dream machine, the synthesis function is only second, mainly in the follow-up other very important functions, which can be seen from the protagonist's ability to exchange some special items at first.
