Before the reorganization, there was one thing to be explained in advance, which was the promotion of the summoned female soldiers.
That's right, female soldiers could also be promoted. After their military ranks were promoted, they would automatically obtain tactical or strategic information related to the new military rank, achieving tactical knowledge that matched the military rank. However, unlike Lin Ruiwen, who needed war points, they needed two conditions to advance to a higher level:
Firstly, he had to obtain enough military merits.
This thing was similar to experience points, but it was also different from war points. In other words, as long as they killed enemies and made contributions, they would automatically accumulate military merits. The more enemies they killed, the higher the military rank of the enemy they killed, the more important it was, and the higher the military merits.
When they killed enemies, they would receive military merits. Although these things were not war points, they were equivalent to war points. At that time, the military merits would automatically be converted into war points and gathered for Lin Ruiwen. However, their military merits would not disappear. Instead, they would stay and become an indicator for the promotion of the female soldiers.
In other words, military merits were equivalent to war points. However, female soldiers could not use war points to exchange for various things like Lin Ruiwen. They could only rely on this as a standard for promotion. Their role was rather simple.
Secondly, he had to obtain the commander's approval.
Military merits were not enough to summon female soldiers. That was just a quantitative indicator. In other words, it depended on whether you had enough experience to be promoted. Having enough experience did not mean that you would definitely be promoted. Therefore, in the end, whether you could be promoted or how far you could be promoted, other than military merits, it also depended on the commander, which was what Lin Ruiwen meant.
That's right, after you have enough military merits, you still have to obtain special permission from Commander Lin Rui. Only if he agrees to promote you can you be promoted. If he doesn't agree, even if you have enough military merits to become a colonel, you still have to continue being a big soldier!
But then again, if you didn't have enough military merits and didn't meet the promotion requirements for a certain military rank, the commanding officer couldn't force you to be promoted. It wasn't like in reality, where the superior could randomly pick someone and let you be whatever you wanted. Therefore, the main factor was still military merits. Only when you had enough military merits would you consider how to curry favor with the commanding officer and get him to promote you.
Yes, the promotion system for female soldiers was so corrupt, so shameless, so…Well, alright, actually Lin Ruiwen quite liked this set of rules. It was no wonder that Sanada Saka had done that before. It was because the commander had too much power to them, and they really needed to curry favor with him.
Looking back at the current situation, among Lin Ruiwen's subordinates, there was only one hero unit, Sanada Saka. Although heroes were not directly related to military ranks, there was no doubt that heroes had special skills that non-heroes did not have. They were a proper combat strength amplifier.
In addition, Sanada Sakura had the highest military merits and the highest tactical attainments. Therefore, although she had some small problems such as being too belligerent, impulsive, and liked to make decisions without authorization, she had no choice but to continue to promote her to the position of captain, as a deputy platoon leader, who was actually in charge of the combat of the army. Lin Ruiwen continued to be his mascot, no, the leader who coordinated the overall situation.
Then, the 50 people below were divided into four normal infantry squads and one firepower squad. Each normal infantry squad had 10 people, and the firepower squad had 10 people. The normal squads were called the first, second, third, and fourth squads respectively, and the firepower squad was called the H squad. It was simple and easy to remember.
What was that? What did H mean? Was there a need to ask? It was the first syllable of the word 'firepower.' Anyone who saw this syllable and thought about it wrongly would definitely have impure thoughts. They would have to squat in a corner and reflect on themselves!
The configuration of the normal infantry squad:
There were two MG34 machine gun teams with a total of four people, and one Maxim heavy machine gun team with three people. The main shooter was only equipped with an M1911 pistol, and the other secondary shooters were equipped with an additional 100-round Thompson submachine gun.
Other than the machine gun team, there were two Mauser 98K snipers equipped with 2.5x optical sights, and a squad leader equipped with a Japanese Type 89 grenade launcher and an M1911 pistol. It was a ten-man regular squad.
Next was the firepower team configuration:
There were a total of six people in a group of three. All six of them were Japanese female soldiers. Each group was equipped with an American M2 heavy machine gun. Other than the two main shooters who only had M1911 pistols, the other secondary shooters also had an additional 100-round Thompson submachine gun for self-defense. However, the core combat power was still two M2 heavy machine guns.
The remaining four people were all girls from Germany. They were divided into two groups and were divided into two groups. They were equipped with a 60mm Bazooka. The main shooter had an M1911 pistol, and the secondary shooter had a Thompson submachine gun and a Mauser 98K with a 2.5x optical scope.
In short, everyone should be equipped with an M1911 pistol. As for how many pistols they had, one or two, it was up to them.
What was that? Why didn't they equip them with Somi submachine guns? Forget about that. It was not that it could not be exchanged. That thing had appeared before 1937 and could be exchanged for free. However, that thing was actually a classic flashy thing. Its practical use had been exaggerated.
In fact, someone had already tested it out. Even though it was well-made, its actual combat power was not as good as Thompson's. The main problem was that the caliber of the ammunition was too small, and it did not have enough stopping ability.
Although the Somi submachine gun was more accurate and had a longer range than Thompson, the increase in accuracy was meaningless for a submachine gun. The extra distance was useless. After all, even if it was Somi, it was not accurate beyond 100 meters. After all, this was a submachine gun, not a rifle. It needed to shoot quickly at close range.
However, the range of the submachine gun was limited. Even though the Somi submachine gun had a slightly longer range than the Thompson submachine gun, there was a limit to how far it could go. Moreover, if the submachine gun's range exceeded 150 meters, it was difficult to guarantee the accuracy of any submachine gun. They all relied on the high firing rate of the bullet screen to ensure the accuracy.
When it came to bullet comments, it was the amount of ammunition.
Speaking of ammunition, the Somi submachine gun could only hold 71 rounds at most. It looked like a lot, but the Thompson submachine gun could hold 100 rounds. Although it was a lot heavier, looking at this girl who was either 1.9 meters tall or 1.8 meters tall, was that little weight a problem? As for the other summoned female soldiers, there was no problem.
Therefore, for submachine guns of this period, the speed of fire, the amount of ammunition, and the power were the most important, and Somi was not as good as Thompson in these aspects.
In fact, the most important reason that restricted the development of the Thompson submachine gun was its price. The price of the Thompson submachine gun was too high. It was comparable to a small car. It could be said to be the most expensive submachine gun during World War II. Even the so-called sophisticated Somi submachine gun paled in comparison to the Thompson submachine gun.
Not to mention, his troops were equipped with M1911 Browning pistols, which could be used with Thompson submachine guns. However, if he wanted to equip them with Somi, he would need to add a 9mm bullet. Therefore, using the Thompson submachine gun could reduce the logistics pressure. Even if he had unlimited logistics, it could also reduce the trouble for him and his subordinates.
In short, this Class H was actually a bodyguard class. Their primary goal was to protect themselves, and then they were responsible for attacking tanks, planes, or blowing up bunkers. If necessary, under their direct orders, they would also join the order to suppress the enemy's attack. However, they usually participated in the battle and were in a hidden state of rest. After all, they were bodyguards.
Amongst them, the squad leaders of the ordinary infantry squads were all promoted by the first-class soldiers of the original squad. After all, they had enough military merits and basically all met the promotion criteria.
It was also because the squad leader had the most experience that they had to act as the grenade launchers. Because the accuracy of the 89 grenade launchers was purely dependent on personal experience, they were all elite first-class soldiers. Because if they used the 89 grenade launchers, their accuracy would definitely be better than all the other Japanese elites. There was absolutely no need to aim, and they would hit wherever they pointed. The artillery support within 500 meters depended on them.
For now, the distance the Japanese army could deploy was 500 meters, which meant that they could assemble their battle formation and launch an attack from 500 meters away. The maximum range of the 89 grenade launcher was 700 meters, and the effective distance was 500 meters. The special grenade with the tail could reach 800 meters.
Therefore, the 89 Grenade was definitely a good item to suppress the enemy's gathering. However, if it was more than 400 meters away, its accuracy would be very low. It would be difficult to use it unless it was an expert. After all, this thing relied on one person to be familiar with it. However, if it was used by an elite with the rank of a first-class soldier, it would not be a problem.
Although the girls from the original 15-member class had actually met the requirements for promotion, Lin Ruiwen only had one platoon at the moment. There were only so many official positions, and it was impossible for everyone to obtain a real official position. Therefore, other than the best ones, who had the highest military merits, who became the squad leader and deputy squad leader, the others who could not be promoted for the time being were mostly in the identity of a corporal or sergeant, and became key positions such as a main shooter or sniper.
In that case, a platoon of 50 people would have 15 elite sergeants before they officially went to war to obtain military merits. That was equivalent to one sergeant leading three private soldiers. This ratio of high and low was quite good.
According to this configuration, each infantry squad would have two MG34 machine guns, one Maxim machine gun, one mortar (the 89 Grenade Launcher was a mortar), two Mauser 98K with optical sights, 10 M1911 pistols, four Thompson submachine guns, and 30 MK2 grenades (5 for each sniper and submachine gunner)!
The firepower squad had two 12.7mm M2 Browning heavy machine guns, two Mauser 98K rifles, two 60mm Bazooka rocket launchers, 10 M1911 pistols, six Thompson submachine guns, and 30 MK2 grenades.
With such a firepower configuration and unlimited ammunition, the firepower density was simply insane. Even in the later stages of World War II, the similarly insane defensive infantry squad in the country could not compare to this establishment in terms of firepower.
Especially the M2 heavy machine gun, which was a 12.7mm weapon. It could be used to attack and scare off children.
It was not a joke to scare off the kids. A 12.7mm bullet could not penetrate the Japanese's Little Bean Tank, but it could really break a person's waist. Even Brother Light expressed that he could not do anything about it. However, this thing's firing rate was too low. If it was used to hit people, its effect was far inferior to the MG34, or even worse than Maxim. Therefore, it was definitely not used to scare people away. It was really used to scare people.
In that case, the combined firepower of four such super firepower infantry squads and the direct firepower squad was no longer normal. It was completely like a bullet rain.
Yes, the consumption of ammunition for such a firepower configuration was obvious. If it wasn't for Lin Ruiwen's heaven-defying ability of unlimited logistics, no country in the world would be able to withstand it, not even the current American Empire.
Now that the soldiers were out, the weapons and the organization were ready, what should they do next?
Of course, it was to do what needed to be done.
