Chapter 305 I will ensure that the stronghold has sufficient defense!
(⊙o⊙)...
After hearing what Qin Long said, Kong Jie, Lao Li, Zhou Weiguo and Yang Zhihua all looked at Qin Long with confusion.
This doesn't mean that they don't think quickly enough, but again, they've all gotten into a fixed mindset.
So Qin Long explained it to them briefly:
"In the past, we were able to use guerrilla tactics to disorient the Japanese because the enemy and our own marching speeds were roughly the same."
"what!!!"
After Qin Long said this, Kong Jie, Zhou Weiguo, Yang Zhihua and Lao Li immediately reacted!
"Indeed!"
Kong Jie nodded in agreement:
"With the Xiaoyangcun District Team's current regular marching speed of 65 kilometers per hour, the Japanese wouldn't be able to launch a guerrilla war even if they wanted to!"
"This reaction speed far exceeds the Japanese's marching speed. If the Japanese dare to use guerrilla tactics, they won't even know how they died!"
Zhou Weiguo, Yang Zhihua and Lao Li also nodded, agreeing very much with what Kong Jie said.
"By the way, Captain Qin, I have another question."
Just as Qin Long was about to adjourn the meeting, Lao Li suddenly asked:
"These three Japanese strongholds should have been razed to the ground by you and your troops before, right?"
"Even if we take it now, the defense won't be that strong, right?"
"The Japs only gave us half a month at most. We have nothing and there's no way we can completely repair those strongholds. What are you going to do?"
Qin Long had already made plans for this, so he said directly:
"Don't worry, I will ensure that the stronghold has sufficient defense!"
Having said this, Qin Long saw that Kong Jie, Zhou Weiguo, Yang Zhihua and Lao Li no longer had any objections, so he said:
"Since everyone has no objections, let's adjourn the meeting and go back to prepare."
"Okay! I'll go back and prepare the troops and digest the weapons and ammunition."
After saying this, Kong Jie left happily.
Zhou Weiguo said that he also wanted to go back to continue training and went with Lao Li.
Only Yang Zhihua was left behind by Qin Long.
Then, Qin Long and Yang Zhihua left the village together and came to the cockpit of the Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer.
Then, Qin Long bound the Heroic Skill to this Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer again.
Before leaving, he went to the magazine to check the ammunition inventory, and took the opportunity to replace 20 reinforced 240mm howitzer shells.
20 240mm howitzer shells = 4000 points.
Returning to Stone Village from the valley where the Type 240 mm self-propelled howitzer was parked, Qin Long once again approached Lao Li:
"Old Li, how many available troops do we have now?"
"Let me see."
Lao Li flipped through the information:
"When you went to Beijing, there were 78 recruits left. You rescued 5733 miners from the coal mines and 3065 from the iron mines, for a total of 8798."
"Add to that the 2681 new recruits I recently recruited, and the total is people."
"Of course, there are also 3176 puppet soldiers you captured. I didn't count them among the total number of new recruits."
Qin Long made a rough calculation in his mind and found that the logistics force now had 1300 Dongfanghong LT665s and 200 Japanese trucks.
These 1500 people must be deducted.
Therefore, the current available recruits are people.
In this case, Qin Long plans to double the size of his army!
Therefore, he currently has a lot of things that need to be replaced!
"Okay, I understand. I'm leaving now."
Qin Long said goodbye to Lao Li and returned to his residence, where he began to think about the current troop deployment.
The current infantry reinforced battalion.
A reinforced squad consists of 10 infantrymen + a light machine gun squad of 2 = 12 people.
一个加强排是排长1人+重机枪班组3人+步兵加强班3个共36人=40人。
一个加强连是75mm山炮连44人+81mm迫击炮连36人+步兵加强排3个共120人=200人。
After counting this, Qin Long felt it was necessary to add some command and logistics personnel to the company level.
After thinking about it, Qin Long decided to assign 30 more people to each reinforced company to be responsible for command and logistics.
For example, company commander, deputy company commander, etc.
这样一个步兵加强营就是营级指挥和后勤人员80人+105mm野炮营120人+步兵加强连4个共920人=1120人。
However, Qin Long felt that 80 battalion-level command and logistics personnel were a bit too many, and 20 people were enough.
So, after subtracting 60 people, the total number of the infantry reinforced battalion became 1060.
The infantry reinforced battalion naturally needs a certain number of Dongfanghong LT665s to complete mechanized marches.
The original number was 70 vehicles, and to be honest, it was quite tight.
Now that there are more points, Qin Long simply doubled it, so it is 140 cars.
70 "Big V8" Dongfanghong LT665 heavy military trucks = points.
In addition, there are more soldiers now, so Qin Long plans to assign truck drivers specifically.
Including 140 drivers, this infantry reinforced battalion has exactly 1200 people.
At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of these 140 drivers, Qin Long decided to equip them all with Thompson M1A1 submachine guns.
140 Thompson M1A1 submachine guns = 7000 points.
14 rounds of 11.43mm ACP pistol ammunition = 7000 points.
In this way, the number of troops became 9857.
After adjusting the infantry configuration, Qin Long plans to adjust the artillery next.
The personnel of the artillery's heavy artillery regiment and four anti-aircraft artillery regiments remained unchanged, he just wanted to increase the number of artillery observation posts.
There were originally only 50 artillery observation posts, and Qin Long planned to increase it to 200.
This will require the deployment of an additional 300 people at the artillery observation post.
There are 9557 troops left.
Of course, to add 150 new artillery observation posts, 150 Sd.Kfz.234 wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles will be needed.
150 Sd.Kfz.234 wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles = 6 points.
Then, Qin Long wanted to increase the number of ammunition handlers and porters from 60 to 300.
As the number of people increases, of course we need to add 8 more Dongfanghong LT665s.
8 "Big V8" Dongfanghong LT665 heavy military trucks = 3200 points.
Adding the two existing vehicles, we will need 2 drivers.
There is also a heavy artillery regiment + two 88mm anti-aircraft artillery regiments and two 40mm anti-aircraft artillery regiments, with a total of 500 Dongfanghong LT665s.
Therefore, 500 drivers are needed.
