An Yulong’s face was calm. "Do you have any other way?"

2024-07-25

A few junior officers were silent after hearing this!
If he had a feasible way to attack, they would have brought the machine gun fortress of the Anhui army across the street, and they would have to wait until the head of the team, Zhao Dongzhi, went mad in person!
An Yulong also took a deep breath. "Since our department entered the war, it has experienced dozens of battles, no matter whether it is the direct army or the Lu army, my third division is in ruins. Did you lose confidence in the first world war today?"
"All the soldiers in the third battalion rely on the commander to support their families. It is said that it is time to raise soldiers for a thousand days. Today, it is time for them to be loyal to the commander!"
Here, Yu-long An looked at the officers. "The soldiers joined the army to support their families, but what did I join the army for? Is to make the country and the nation rise again! Now that I’m serving an army of 100 thousand troops in the south, I’m about to unify China’s great cause of republicanism. Are you going to shrink back when you face small difficulties? "
An Yulong’s words are simple and straightforward, and his officers are all embarrassed!
Yes, what did these young people join the army for?
In the late Qing Dynasty, except for a few young officers who started as big soldiers, quite a few of them were young students who joined the army after applying for military schools. Although there was the abolition of the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty, they tried to seek fame from the army, but they were humiliated by the Sino-Japanese War and the Geng National Day, and they thought more about reimbursing the country and the nation.
Last year, after the Republic, Fengtian Military Academy ushered in the peak of application. At the beginning of this year, more than 5,000 people from all over the country enrolled in the spring. How many people said that these candidates came from all parts of the country, where there were warlords and even southern federales. Some of them were former handsome talents, some were middle school students who had studied new students, but these people all had the same characteristics, that is, except for their desire for fame, most of them had the ideal young people who served the country and founded the Republic.
No ideal person will not go all the way to Shenyang to apply for the military academy during the war!
After all, it’s wartime, and joining the army in wartime is a very dangerous thing. However, why do so many young people take the initiative to join the army?
If it is said that ordinary rural brothers have a simple reason, that is, they have to eat enough to support their families, but for officers, most of them are actually because of the word ideal.
Perhaps after several years in the army, their ideals will gradually change their desire for promotion and wealth, but for these young junior officers who have just graduated from military schools, most people still hold their ideals.
Immediately, a company commander said, "Sir An said that the war situation is deadlocked now, and it is time for us to serve the country and the nation!" As he turned to look at An Yulong, "Sir, I request to lead the army as the main force of attack!"
Looking at this young commandant An Yulong, he secretly nodded his head. This commandant Gong Chehou is as young as other junior officers serving in the army these days. This man is only twenty years old this year. He was born in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, but Zhao Dongyun was a fellow villager in the same city. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of seventeen. During the Russo-Japanese War, he went to Shenyang and was admitted to Shenyang in 196. After graduating from a crash course in Fengtian Military Academy, he became a lieutenant platoon leader. This year, he was promoted to commander of the company. At this time, he was only twenty years old.
This person is not only flexible in daily warfare command, but also has a strong Confucian influence in everyday speech because he is a scholar.
This is very appetizing for a juren who was born in An Yulong!
An Yulong himself was a unified reader and became famous in his early years, but after the Qing Dynasty stopped taking the imperial examination, he didn’t continue to take the Jinshi exam. Maybe he made a living and invested in the general office in Shengjing to take the copywriting. Then Zhao Dongyun personally recommended him to Fengtian armament school for a few months, and then he entered the advanced study class. He is one of the few advanced students in today’s Fengjun army.
As a general student, he naturally has a great affection for the younger generation like Gong Chehou. Immediately, he said, "Good Gong Wei wants to make a great contribution in this battle. Then I will write a letter and recommend it with several seniors, which may enable you to take the Army University Entrance Examination!"
After listening to this, Gong Chehou is also looking forward to knowing that An Yulong’s mouth actually refers to the refresher course. Although Zhao Dongyun changed the refresher course to the Army University, many people still call the Army University the refresher course.
The enrollment of Army University is quite special. He does not face the public enrollment, nor does he accept candidates to apply for it by themselves. Its students mainly come from the recommendation of the military department, and the candidates need to meet several conditions, that is, although the officers in active service in the army are not specified, they are generally officers of the rank of captain and major. The second is that they must be recommended by senior generals. Of course, they are not recommended. You have to pass the entrance examination before you can formally study.
And entering this army university this year represents a member who can become a very special advanced student in the Fengjun Army.
The status of advanced student is very attractive to many junior officers in the military, because once they become advanced students, let’s not talk about whether they can be promoted to the general smoothly, but if they graduate less, they will also be a major. It will be much easier to be promoted less than others.
Although An Yulong says that his rank is not high, he is one of the advanced students. If he finds several advanced students to jointly recommend him, it is not difficult for Gong Chehou to get the entrance examination. Of course, whether he can get in depends on Gong Chehou’s own ability.
After listening to this, several of his young junior officers also looked forward to it. It’s not that they didn’t think that they would be able to get the chief’s attention and recommendation to take the entrance examination, but to tell the truth, this kind of opportunity is quite rare. Nowadays, there are so many middle and junior officers in the army who have performed quite well that they can get the chief’s attention and write a letter for recommendation, which is really difficult for ordinary junior officers to get.
Even if An Yulong wants to recommend Gong Chehou himself, the recommendation weight is not enough. He still has to find several advanced students and seniors to jointly recommend him. This is possible. If you want An Yulong Lamian Noodles to find his advanced students and seniors to jointly recommend him, it is naturally difficult.
An Yulong is very appreciative of Gong Chehou. Today, there are some special situations. Gong Chehou is willing to show his main attack, and An Yulong will show him a chance.
Looking forward to the Army University, Gong Chehou pulled out his own army knife and led his second company to attack the left wing of the Anhui Army!
Chapter three hundred and fourteen Wu Chen Zhuang guild wars (3)
As Gong Chehou led the second company to attack the left wing of the Anhui Army, An Yulong was not idle. He personally commanded his troops to launch a suppression attack, and Gong Chehou’s second company attacked the fire cover.
"Let the machine gun platoon pay attention to suppressing the enemy’s fire at two o’clock and never let the enemy take the lead and fight back!" An Yulong is already close to the front line and has commanded heavy machine guns and mortar troops.
As he ordered the third battalion’s two Fuzao 1-type heavy machine guns to spew out flames, several heavy machine guns hit the Anhui army positions hundreds of meters away, and the huge power of the heavy machine guns hit the trenches opposite.
However, although this kind of suppression shooting looks terrible, the actual results are extremely limited, except for a few provocative enemies in one shot. After the enemy retreats, most of the subsequent bombs are hit.
However, An Yulong didn’t expect heavy machine gun suppression shooting to achieve much success. The so-called fire suppression is success if it can suppress the enemy’s counterattack fire.
However, despite the suppression of two heavy machine guns, there are also many heavy machine guns on the other side of the Anhui army, which can also suppress one direction. The Anhui army still looked up to fight back in other directions. At this time, they also found the second company’s left-wing attack. A heavy machine gun in the machine gun fortress also launched a suppression shooting against the second company in the attack. Gong Chehou’s second company was also attacked for a while and was crushed after only ten minutes.
Seeing this situation, An Yulong frowned and said that it was still too little for him to be able to heavy machine guns.
It seems necessary to request the regimental heavy machine gun fire support!
Today, the establishment of Fengjun was formulated after the Republic last year. At the beginning, it was adjusted on a large scale according to many experiences of the Russo-Japanese War and the post-Tongzhou Campaign.
At the beginning, the adjustment did not change the establishment of Fengjun base, but the equipment establishment of mortars, heavy machine guns and light machine guns was changed. With the increase of these weapons, the establishment of logistics troops was also appropriately increased. For example, the battalion-level troops added an ammunition platoon to carry ammunition specifically to supplement the large amount of ammunition needed by the troops, which increased the ability of the troops to fight for a long time.
These many organizational changes have also formed the latest organization of Fengjun, which is called the 1997 organization in the Organization Department of the General Staff.
Compared with the original establishment, the establishment of Fengjun in 1997 greatly increased the number of 60 mm mortars and light machine guns, but not much for heavy machine guns. This is not only influenced by the strategic thinking, but also related to the output of heavy machine guns that Fengjun can obtain, whether it depends on outsourcing or the production of heavy machine guns by Fuchuan itself. At present, the number of heavy machine guns under the division is similar to that when it entered the war last year.
In the compilation of the new 197 standard, the original infantry squad remained unchanged, and there were still 14 people in one squad. Each infantry platoon had three infantry squads in addition to a light machine gun. The infantry company had three exclusive infantry squads and two 60mm mortars directly under its jurisdiction.
The infantry battalion has four infantry companies, another machine gun platoon has two heavy machine guns, a mortar platoon has two 10mm mortars, and an ammunition platoon carries extra mortar shells and shells.
The infantry regiment has three infantry battalions, a machine gun company with nine heavy machine guns and a mortar company with four 10mm mortars.
The infantry brigade has two infantry regiments. On weekdays, the brigade headquarters does not have other units directly under its jurisdiction except the two infantry regiments. However, in actual combat, Fengjun is often a brigade-based combat unit. For example, in the battle of northern Jiangsu, the tenth division is divided into two brigades, and the nineteenth brigade and the twentieth brigade fight separately. In this case, the infantry brigade usually gets the troops directly under its jurisdiction from the division headquarters, and often gets an artillery battalion, the trench, the engineering and the cavalry units to form a mixed brigade with combat capability.
Besides two infantry brigades, the infantry division also has a three-battalion system, a 16-door artillery regiment, a 16-door 120 mm mortar battalion, a cavalry regiment with three cavalry companies and a 600-riding scale, a trench regiment with three battalions with a total number of more than 1,000 people, and an engineering battalion with more than 100 people directly under the central government, such as military music, gendarmerie and division headquarters.
If such a 197-year-old infantry division is compiled according to the standard, the total strength will exceed 15 thousand, with nearly 16 thousand people, nearly 1,000 support horses, nearly 3,000 western-style heavy transport carriages and more than 700 vehicles
There are 36 75mm field guns, 375mm mountain guns, 16 120mm 110mm mortars, 40mm mortars, nearly 100 heavy machine guns, 56 light machine guns, 156 rifles for infantry, and thousands of revolvers or automatic pistols for cavalry, officers, gunners, artillery, engineering, trench and other auxiliary forces.
It is said that the army was compiled in 1997. Of course, the standard is actually on paper. However, it is difficult to strictly implement the actual equipment of each unit during the war. For example, the Third Division lost a lot during the war, but it captured more and more heavy machine guns and artillery, which were often directly incorporated into the Third Division.
The number of heavy machine guns in the third division is more than 60. In addition, the twelfth regiment of the third division is a pilot unit of light machine guns. Zhao Dongyun personally instructed the regiment to equip light machine guns for class experiments and a series of tactical institutes after class. The number of light machine guns in the third division is actually dozens more.
This third division is overstaffed with all kinds of weapons, but some troops are short of them. For example, the 13th division has just been compiled. Due to the shortage of weapons, this 13th division has not been able to fully compile 40 guns of the artillery regiment. Heavy machine guns and light machine guns and even mortars are all lacking, but the first division in Lu Yongxiang has just surrendered to serve the army. Although it has added a lot of personnel and weapons, the vacancy is still relatively large. The first artillery regiment of the first division has only two battalions.
In fact, in Fengjun, except for the three main divisions of the Third Division, the Ninth Division and the Tenth Division, all his troops are short of weapons. This is not to say that Zhao Dongyun is partial, but that Fengjun is short of weapons now. Although he has bought a lot of self-produced weapons from Fu Factory in the past year, the gap is still very large, especially artillery, heavy machine guns and light machine guns.
Although some gains were made in the war, many weapons were also lost in the battle of Fengjun, for example, the simplest rifle. In all previous wars, Fengjun has lost 10,000 rifles, lost them, polished them and damaged the rifling.
In the past few months, there have been several machinery repair workshops set up by the Ordnance Department of Fengjun, and 10,000 rifles have been short of maintenance. This shows that these rifles, artillery and machine guns are consumed as much as ammunition during the war, and it is necessary to keep the front-line troops fully armed.
Now An Yulong commands this third battalion, which is considered to be a standard infantry battalion in the military. There are two heavy machine guns and two 10mm mortars, and even the infantry companies have two 60mm mortars, and each platoon has a light machine gun.
However, just like this, An Yulong felt that the firepower in his hand was still insufficient!
"You go to the regimental headquarters and ask for heavy machine gun support!" An Yulong commanded the soldiers to ask for heavy machine gun reinforcements, and commanded the people to shell with 10 mm mortars.
In addition to the inherent two 10 mm mortars, he now has a 10 mm mortar that was just supported. These three 10 mm mortars have extremely fast firing speed and short-term fire density, which is enough to compare with a mountain artillery battalion.
However, the mortar fire rate is fast, and An Yulong can’t stop letting them keep fighting, which makes the guns rush to make three quick shots and then stop the shelling.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue to fight, but that the 10 mm mortar shell is limited. If the maximum rate of fire is not two minutes, the shell will have to be exhausted, and the mortar is not as good as scrap metal.
Although according to the compilation, a 60mm mortar group of Fengjun has reached 50 rounds of ammunition and a 10mm mortar has reached 10 rounds of ammunition, this standard has never really been realized since it was issued, except for the Tangshan campaign, which is limited by the weak logistics and transportation capacity of Fengjun. In many cases, a 60mm mortar in front-line combat troops can often carry about 20 to 30 rounds, while a 10mm mortar shell rarely carries more than 50 rounds.
In order to prepare for the battle of Xuzhou, Fengjun said that a large number of mortar shells were prepared, and each 10-mm mortar could be equipped with more than 150 shells. But you have to know that this is the whole battle of Fengjun, and it is impossible to say that all the shells were exhausted a few days ago, and there is still a third less ammunition. In fact, the frontline troops can get real-time ammunition distribution from Haizhou and Zhengzhou logistics transfer centers to Xuzhou, which is far from the rated base.
In this case, An Yulong can’t beat out the mortar shell department as soon as he says, but he can press the key to suppress the enemy’s fire for a while.
Chapter three hundred and fifteen Wu Chen Zhuang guild wars (4)
On the other hand, the logistics and transportation capacity of the real Fengjun army is really not good enough to enter the war, which often leads to the shortage of ammunition for the front-line troops. However, the Anhui army on the other side is not much better. Compared with Fengjun, it has a modern logistics system. The logistics body of the Anhui army can be said to be more fragile. When fighting, it is often possible to rely on the troops themselves to carry ammunition with the army, but the troops themselves can rely on logistics lines for supply after limited follow-up
Now, even the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has been cut off by the army, and it can transport supplies from the frontline troops in a limited number of land passages. However, this kind of supply is a drop in the bucket for tens of thousands of Anhui troops in Xuzhou.
You know, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Xuzhou, and the Anhui army has been 50,000 to 60,000 people for so many years, not to mention ammunition. It’s not a small amount just to eat horses and chew horses.
Although the number of Anhui troops is large, from the logistics point of view, it is impossible for Anhui troops to maintain a large-scale battle with more than 50 thousand participants and lasting for half a month
The national war is a worse war than anyone else. The logistics and transportation conditions of serving the army are not good enough to go there, and the logistics and transportation conditions of the Anhui army are also poor to death. And the logistics of several warlords can be directly ignored. This kind of war is better than that of serving the army, which is at least an adult regular army. Although it encounters many problems, it can barely make Xuzhou frontline troops attack.
This situation is a direct manifestation of An Yulong’s attack. Although his ammunition is limited, especially the artillery shells, it still greatly suppressed the shelling from time to time. When the main force of the Anhui Army Fire Battalion launched a cover attack, the left-wing second company also launched the final charge!
