Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 342: Forming a New Troop

Fenglingdu is still the same. The ferries that have been traveling for thousands of years have witnessed the bright moon of the Qin Dynasty, the border gates of the Han Dynasty, the grace and splendor of the Tang Dynasty, and the majestic atmosphere of the Celestial Kingdom. They have sent away one dynasty after another. After all the vicissitudes of life, one thing remains unchanged.

The roaring Yellow River and the sound of the boatman's oars.

Local officials in Shaanxi Province had long received a telegram from the provincial government. Commander Tang, the military and political chief of Pingjin, was about to return to Peiping. The local government must receive him properly. How dare local officials neglect it? The ships were ready. Tang Qiuli politely declined the local officials.

, prepared a little wine, and a group of people boarded the ferry and sailed to the other side of Shanxi Province.

The yellow water is still rolling, and the waves are still rolling, but it lacks the momentum of the last hundred-boat race. A dozen ferries look somewhat lonely on the wide river.

Tang Qiuli and a group of more than a thousand people from the guard brigade abandoned their boats and landed ashore. Without stopping too much in Shanxi, they took the shortcut at the junction of Shanxi and Henan provinces and headed north along the remaining mountains of the Taihang Mountains. In September

In the early ten days of the month, we arrived at Huangyadong, the center of the Taihang Mountain base area.

When leaving Shaanxi, he gave Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng Dayang 300,000 yuan each. He knew very well that the lives of these two brothers were not very well-off. Zhang Xueliang left Nuo Da's family fortune in the Northeast, almost

I just left my home. I only had some savings in foreign banks in Tianjin and other places, and I had to support a large group of people under me.

He was used to spending a lot of money. He went out too much and made little money, which meant he was sitting on nothing. When Yang Hucheng started his business, his foundation was already weak. Shaanxi was a relatively barren land. Business travel was not prosperous and there were few minerals. He also had to feed the army, and his money was even more stretched.

.

Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were stunned when they saw that Tang Qiuli had offered so much money. When Tang Qiuli explained his intention, they were willing to accept it, but they seemed to feel quite unused.

Tang Qiuli didn't explain too much, stuffed the cashier's checks into their pockets, and Shi Shiran left, leaving Zhang and Yang with mixed feelings.

As the saying goes, "wealth gathers people, and wealth disperses people." Tang Qiuli is not a stingy person. What's more important is that he is now rich and has no shortage of money. Seeing that Dingbian is a place to gather wealth and make money,

Being able to use your own abilities to help Zhang Yang solve some urgent tasks is also called emotional investment!

Just as he was leaving Dingbian, Tang Qiuli met alone with the commander of the 25th Red Army, General Xu Haidong, and got straight to the point. In addition to the weapons and equipment he presented last time, he also presented two artillery battalions of the 25th Red Army as a gift.

The equipment, of course, is all mortars, mainly because the Red Army has difficulty in supplying artillery shells. Large-caliber artillery has no place at all. Moreover, each mortar comes with a thousand rounds of artillery shells.

Commander Xu Haidong did not react at the time. This general known for his bravery in combat was so excited that he spun around on the ground, rubbed his hands frequently, and asked several times, is this true?

It’s no wonder that General Xu was so excited. At that time, all the mortars of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi were only the size of an artillery regiment. Moreover, there was a severe shortage of shells and old artillery. Now, his army alone

How could he not be excited if there were two more artillery battalions with fresh guns and ammunition out of thin air?

Tang Qiuli just asked General Xu Haidong for one thing. If the three northwest horses have any attempt to invade Dingbian, please ask the Red Army to lend a helping hand. In one sentence, I will give you the Red Army guns and ammunition. If your brothers have trouble, please help them.

Therefore, before leaving Dingbian, he specifically told Qiu Sheng and Liu Hanzhang to establish a good relationship with the Red Army. Among the three forces surrounding Dingbian, the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Security Command was the weakest.

Only by arranging everything in Dingbian can he safely devote all his energy to the North China battlefield and even the national battlefield in the future, making the Japanese suffer.

Compared with the last time I came here, the scale of Huangya Cave has been expanded. Various defenses have been completed. The arsenal in the base has been officially put into production and is working overtime to produce various weapons and ammunition.

Zhang Quan kept the logistics work in order, and all the work in the field was on track and flourished.

The 48,000 recruits training in Huangyadong have initially met the standards for integration into the army after several months of systematic training in the recruit supplementary brigade. What they lack is actual battlefield experience.

Without the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield, no matter how long the training lasts or how strict the training requirements are, they will always be new recruits. Hearing the deafening sound of the explosion of artillery shells, bullets whizzing past their ears, and seeing the blood of their comrades splattered on themselves, they

You will still be frightened and panicked.

After a great battle, your good brothers and comrades-in-arms will fall down and never get up again. Only then can they completely complete the qualitative transformation from recruits to veterans, and only then can they have murderous intent in their eyes, and face blood, whether it is the enemy's or their own.

Only when they can face it calmly can they become qualified veterans.

Tang Qiuli really wanted to find an opportunity to drag these new recruits to the battlefield to receive practical training. Unfortunately, there was no ready opportunity. The Japanese were now more honest than rabbits.

Wu Hongtao, the commander of the new recruits' supplementary brigade, used a few days to let each new regiment take turns to report to the division commander. Tang Qiuli was very satisfied with the recruits' training results. At a meeting of all senior officers, Wu Hongtao, the commander of the new recruits' supplementary brigade,

Hong Tao, gave a strong commendation.

Then, he solemnly signed his consent on the first page of the recruit list. This is the **Division's unique procedure for accepting new recruits. Taking the new regiment as a unit, every leading officer responsible for accepting new recruits must sign and agree.

, Otherwise, this batch of recruits will undergo another cycle of training, and the commander who brought the new recruits to this regiment will be punished, and most of them will be demoted. Wu Hongtao will assume direct leadership responsibility.

After such a procedure, every time we receive new recruits, we are like a demanding customer, carefully inspecting every step, thus ensuring that the quality of the new recruits added to each unit of the ** Division is fully guaranteed.

After receiving the new recruits, a total of six regiments were transferred from the 1st to 5th brigades of the **, and used as the backbone to form the 6th to 8th brigades of the ** Division.

Zhang Hansheng, the former deputy commander of the 1st Brigade of **, was appointed as the commander of the newly formed 6th Brigade of **. Wang Bingde, the former deputy commander of the 2nd Brigade of ** was appointed as the commander of the newly formed 7th Brigade of **.

Tian Shuangxi, chief of staff of the Third Brigade, was appointed commander of the newly formed Eighth Brigade of the Communist Party of China.

The strength of each infantry brigade was reduced from the original 13,000 to 11,000. A large number of artillery pieces were brought into the organic system from the weapons warehouse of the ** Division Logistics Department, plus the newly generated artillery pieces from the Huangyadong Arsenal.

Two new artillery brigades were formed, namely the 3rd Artillery Brigade and the 4th Artillery Brigade.

One regiment from each of the 1st and 2nd Artillery Brigades was transferred as the backbone. Yang Hu, the commander of the 3rd Artillery Brigade, was formerly the deputy commander of the 1st Artillery Brigade, and Jiang Yaoshan, the commander of the 4th Artillery Brigade, was formerly the deputy commander of the 2nd Artillery Brigade.

Deputy brigade commander.

The remaining soldiers continue to stay in Huangyadong to receive training in operating air defense weapons and train personnel for the soon-to-be-established ** Division Air Defense Brigade, Huangyadong Guard Brigade Air Defense Group, and Dingbian Special Economic Zone Security Command Air Defense Corps.

, at the same time, the air defense regiments of each brigade must go to Huangyadong in an organized manner to participate in air defense training.

These soldiers are all selected from the entire division. They are educated, flexible, good at studying, and have special skills. Most of them are veterans who have participated in large-scale battles and have actual combat experience.

Tang Qiuli used such elite soldiers to form an air defense force. It can be seen that he was afraid of and valued the Japanese air power. Based on the current quality of the soldiers, weapons and equipment, and the composition of various arms of the ** division, they were slightly more than the Japanese army. In the end,

At least they can be evenly matched.

The only thing lacking was air power. Japanese aircraft had always been a worry for him. In order to prevent his soldiers from being unilaterally massacred by Japanese aircraft on the battlefield, Tang Qiuli could only do his best to strengthen his air defense power.

.

To use ground firepower superiority to counter threats from the air, his basic standard is that in a battle, ground air defense forces can cover the area where the offensive troops are deployed, from air attacks by Japanese aircraft, and can cover the troops' offensive.

According to his vision, in the combat area of ​​the ** division, the airspace should become a restricted area for Japanese pilots, the sky of death. In the unit airspace, the density of anti-aircraft artillery or anti-aircraft machine guns should reach ten to eighteen or more.

There was another issue that worried him, which was the accuracy of anti-aircraft firepower. The "Zero" fighter of the Japanese army was famous for its light body, fast speed and flexibility. In a one-on-one air battle, this kind of fighter was used to increase speed.

, and an aircraft that sacrifices its own protection capabilities will not gain any advantage.

When dealing with fixed anti-aircraft firepower on the ground, this advantage in speed and flexibility is fully demonstrated. It is difficult for a purely manually controlled anti-aircraft gun or anti-aircraft machine gun to keep up with the speed of the Japanese aircraft, and it will be unable to capture the target, resulting in a hit.

The battle rate dropped, and the battle damage rate of casualties and equipment increased.

He plunged into the Special Equipment Research Institute, and Wang Xu and his team worked day and night on the development of artillery sighting radar. Tang Qiuli could only use his own memory to understand the basic working principle of artillery sighting radar.

The structure and components can be roughly drawn or written.

At this time, he hated himself very much. If he had known that he would develop this thing after traveling through time, he would have just put a live one on his body and asked Wang Xu and the others to copy it. Now it is too late to say anything.

Despite this, the theories and basic concepts put forward by Tang Qiuli, as well as the really unsightly drawings, have stunned Wang Xu and his group of scientific madmen, shocked Tang Qiuli to the point of being stunned, and almost opened the teacher's head.

, the urge to see how much stuff they don’t know is contained inside.

The admiring looks of these engineers with extraordinary talents and high self-esteem made a certain woman very proud. Seeing their admiration, Tang Qiuli felt that his own image was very tall.

The arrival of Mei Ting brought Tang back to the earth from heaven. Seeing Mei Ting covering her nose, frowning, and giving herself clean clothes, Tang Qiuli realized that he had not bathed for many days.

and tidying up housekeeping.

He smiled awkwardly. Wang Xu and the others were amused by this situation and laughed heartily. After arriving at Huangya Cave, the relationship between Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting was officially made public, and Mei Ting took care of her generously.

Start his life.
