An artillery company, including myself and Fang Hao, has a total of 98 people! There are a lot of people, but not many guns!

Hu Yizhou didn't know how many guns and how many artillerymen there were in a mortar company in this era, because he didn't have this information.

But the eight 82 guns are indeed a bit missing! It would be better if the two battle defense guns were given to him!

However, whether it was the deputy of the cavalry regiment or Li Jun, it seemed that they had forgotten about the anti-war artillery! Since they didn't mention it, Hu Yizhou didn't ask about it. In fact, this thing is just that!

In fact, if we include weapons called ultra-light mortars such as grenades, Hu Yizhou has a lot of guns at his disposal, 16 more! He has three grenades and eight

Are the five grenades left behind by the battalion commander exactly eight?

But here’s the problem, not to mention the entire artillery company, even the entire 292nd Brigade, will never be able to use more than three of these grenade launchers! Originally, I had three more, and I just sacrificed one.

…

What can Hu Yizhou do? You can't use four grenades with Fang Hao alone, right? This is not a pistol, it can shoot left and right?

It seems that even if I can shoot the bow left and right, I still can’t use it!

Therefore, Hu Yizhou simply ignored the grenade for the time being! Let's finish rectifying it first!

After Hu Yizhou returned to the small courtyard, he locked himself in the room and began to use paper and pen to organize the artillery company's team. The original team structure was definitely not good! There were too many new recruits, so they could only be used alternately with old and new ones!

Therefore, Hu Yizhou split the four mortar groups in the third battalion and combined them with the four new artillery groups to try to have four veterans in each artillery group.

Even if these veterans can't fire cannons and can only fire shells against the barrels, as long as they are here, these recruits will not be nervous when facing the Japanese retaliatory fire and will be calmed down!

One thing to know is that veterans are afraid of machine guns, and recruits are afraid of artillery! And artillery is the priority of Japanese artillery! Therefore, artillery must be stable!

Hu Yizhou quickly assigned the artillery team of a company! With his strong photographic memory, Hu Yizhou regrouped them! The key point of the grouping is very simple, that is, veterans lead new recruits!

He also assigned the artillery group to an artillery group of nine people: the squad leader and gunner, the deputy squad leader and first gunner, the second gunner loading, the third gunner seat, and the remaining five gunners were responsible for loading and preparing ammunition.

By doing this, you have one more shell-resistant weapon than the Army Rabbits. There is no other way. The lack of transportation capacity is a disadvantage!

After removing 72 people, there were still 26 people left including himself. Hu Yizhou asked Master Xu to take the young boy and find the two weakest recruits to create a new artillery company cooking squad.

For the remaining 20 soldiers, Hu Yizhou decided to let Fang Hao take Sun Xiaozhuang, Du Wei take Sun Dali, and form an infantry squad. In this way, the artillery company would have infantry protection without the need for the third battalion to be specially distracted.

Protect the artillery!

Of course, since these two infantry squads did not have machine guns, Hu Yizhou took out two grenade launchers and equipped them with them! Then he asked Fang Hao to take Du Wei and the others to find a place to practice the use of grenade launchers!

In Hu Yizhou's view, even if their shooting was not very accurate, now that they have used the grenade, it is better than leaving it in a warehouse to rust!

In fact, Hu Yizhou really wanted to get a special artillery team for himself and become the gunner himself! But after thinking about it, he gave it up!

After the assignments were made, Hu Yizhou called in the four artillery platoon leaders and Fang Hao. These platoon leaders all served as squad leaders and gunners. They had multiple jobs. There was nothing that could be done about it. They knew how to shoot.

There are really too few people!

"This is the rectification plan, you go down and implement it!" Hu Yizhou threw the rectification plan he had just written to them with a snap!

"The requirement for this rectification is that veterans lead new recruits! Form combat effectiveness as soon as possible! In addition, you find 16 people in the team who are well trained in marksmanship. I want to form two infantry squads! Artillery cannot be without infantry protection, but we can do it ourselves

It’s best to protect yourself and not bother inside the camp!”

After Hu Yizhou finished speaking, he looked at the officers below: "If you have any opinions, you can raise them. Some of them that are not suitable together can be raised for rectification on the spot! But one principle cannot be changed, that is, the number of veterans must be close to half!"

"We have no objection!" several people said in unison.

"Okay! Since you have no objections, let's go ahead and implement it! I'll give you half an hour to rectify it! After the rectification is completed, immediately gather here in the warehouse, and we will go get equipment and weapons!"

"yes!"

The men all went to work, and Hu Yizhou came to the headquarters alone. The sentry at the door obviously knew Hu Yizhou, and he saluted and let him go.

"Hello, sir!" Hu Yizhou met the third battalion commander.

"Please sit down! I know about your request for a rifle! I agree! And, I can only provide you with a rifle and bullets! I can't provide you with a machine gun!" said the third battalion commander.

"That's good! But I need 400 rounds of 7.92mm pointed bullets. Just give me 13 more Hanyang bullets for the rest! Give me more bullets!" Hu Yizhou also has Master Xu, Sun Xiaozhuang, and Xiao Meizi's three bullets.

Made in Hanyang, only 13 rifles were needed. In addition, after Zhang Ze died, his rifles were given to Sun Xiaozhuang, and the rifles of Blind Li and Wang Guaizi were damaged in the battle.

"Okay! This can satisfy you! In addition, I will give you a few more boxes of grenades. Try to get four grenades per person! I mean everyone!"

The commander of the third battalion knew what would happen if the artillery was approached by the infantry. Since Hu Yizhou proposed to form an infantry squad, he should give him more grenades! There are really no machine guns!

"Oh, I heard that you can also repair firearms?"

"Yes!"

"That's good!"

"What's your opinion on this city defense battle?"

"That's why I'm here! Where is our artillery position? In the city or outside the city? Where is the station?"

"That's it! Come here, this is Baoshan City, my plan is like this..." The third battalion commander gave a general outline of his defense plan.

"Do you think there's anything wrong? I want to learn from the trench tactics you used for the Eighth Battalion!" the Third Battalion Commander asked.

"Problem...it's better to dig the trenches deeper, and the artillery-proof holes should be farther away from the main battlefield and more concealed! The hole for hiding soldiers should also be deeper, the opening should be small, and it's best to be fire-proof and smoke-proof! We all have gas masks, but

It’s best to prepare some clean water and towels in the trenches! The Japanese will release poison gas if they are in a hurry! Also, it’s best to be prepared for fire and air raids in Baoshan City! If possible, try to move underground!”

Hu Yizhou gave his own suggestions based on what he knew.

The third battalion commander listened to Hu Yizhou's suggestion and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking...
Chapter completed!
