"Chen Chengye, Yu Fei, Song Wenxuan, Zhao Deli, Hua Qizhi, Chen Xu, Ning Yuxuan, Yang Yuanjia, Gu Haizheng, Zhao Yangzhou, Sun Qibo!”
"Here ~"
"Here ~"
"Here ~"
....
As Yan Wenbin read out their names one by one, they all stood up and replied loudly.
After Yan Wenbin finished reading the names of these people, he read the name of the deputy battalion commander again.
"Wang Xing An, Mu Feiyang, Qian Boda, Lu Kangyu, Hou Kaifeng, Xu Qiwen, Yun Yinghua, Shi Xingteng, Feng Yongyuan, Lu Yangqiu, Guo Yuansi.”
"Here ~"
"Here ~"
....
The sound of arrival was still heard.
"Now, all battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders, please come forward to receive the list. I will give you five hours. Before 6 pm today, you have to select the soldiers and officers from each battalion and report to the company commanders, deputy company commanders, platoon commanders, and platoon commanders. At 6:30 tonight, the distribution of weapons and ammunition to all battalions will begin!”
Reorganizing the troops, Yan Wenbin decided to quickly complete the reorganization. Let the battalion commanders choose their own soldiers. As for the mortar soldiers of each battalion, they did not have to worry about this problem. During this period of time, Wang Mingzhi had trained some of the artillery soldiers. Although their quality was not as good as the old artillery soldiers, it was better than nothing!
In addition, there were also many soldiers who knew how to use mortars among the scattered soldiers. Previously, Yan Wenbin had specially selected them. Therefore, the artillery units of each battalion had already been decided. After all, they were in urgent need of artillery talents!
Yan Wenbin, Wang Mingzhi, and the other higher-ups had left, leaving only the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders to choose soldiers.
............
"Old Yan, this is the first time I've seen you organize your troops like this!”
After they returned to the temporary command post, Wang Mingzhi said helplessly. He had never seen Yan Wenbin reorganize his troops like this.
"Do you think I want to reorganize the army like this? I was forced into a corner. We were pressed for time, so in order to increase the combat strength of our troops, we let the Battalion Commanders choose their own soldiers. It would be better for them to cooperate with the soldiers they chose based on their own intuition and methods.
This way, the conflicts between the battalions can be suppressed to the minimum. You know the composition of our army now. It can be said that the composition is complicated. If we don't pay attention, we might fall apart. Next, we can fight some small-scale battles and slowly get used to them. As long as we fight two or three battles, our army will be able to get used to them!”
Yan Wenbin was also a little helpless. Time was too tight now. There was not much time left for him to begin with, so he could only use this method now.
Wang Mingzhi shook his head helplessly. Then, he went to do his own things. Although he was a major general and a top student who graduated from Huangpu Military Academy, it was his first time leading a unit with tens of thousands of people and such a complicated composition. As the current Chief of Staff, he still had to plan properly.
Thinking of this, Wang Mingzhi smiled bitterly. He was a top student at Huangpu Military Academy and was once a major general and brigade commander of the Central Army. Now, he was actually the chief of staff for a young man in his twenties. Moreover, the other party was only a colonel who had a bad background. He did not know if he would be laughed at if this matter spread.
.....
Among the 11,000 soldiers, only his old troops had complete weapons and equipment. The weapons used by the scattered soldiers were very messy. Some time ago, in order to unify the equipment this time, he had put away all these weapons and equipment.
"A squad of fourteen soldiers, excluding the main and secondary machine gunners, would require twelve AK47 field army rifles."
Yan Wenbin began to calculate how many AK47s he needed.
"Apart from the Desert Eagle pistols for platoon-level and above officers and artillery, every other battalion must be equipped with AK-47 field army rifles. This way, a battalion needs 801 AK-47 rifles. 10 battalions would require 8,010 AK47s, and 11 battalions would require another 801. However, the troops that fought with me all had them, which was about the size of a battalion, so I only needed to purchase 8,001!”
After Yan Wenbin finished muttering, he entered the weapons store. After buying more than 8,000 AK47s, Yan Wenbin realized that he had lost 40,050 gold coins. This made his heart ache. However, he also knew that now was not the time to save.
If they did not arm their troops, how could they kill the Japanese? As long as their troops killed four to five thousand Japanese soldiers, they would earn everything back. If they accidentally killed a major general of the Japanese, they would still be able to earn a lot.
The next step was to purchase the mortars, which were the only artillery support he had.
Eleven battalions required 264 mortars, which cost Yan Wenbin another 26,400 gold coins. Buying a mortar with 30 shells was still alright. He didn't need to buy mortar shells later.
Next was the light machine gun, the RPK light machine gun. Each squad was equipped with an RPK light machine gun. There were 11 battalions in the army, and a total of 528 squads. In other words, they needed 528 RPK light machine guns, which cost a total of 26,400 gold coins.
He had spent 92,850 gold coins on the rifle, light machine gun, and mortar. Now, he had 27,070 gold coins left in his account.
This made Yan Wenbin grimace. It was fine if there were only a small amount of these weapons and equipment, as they did not cost much money. However, once there were too many of them, it was like a bottomless pit, swallowing so many gold coins.
However, this was not the end. There were still the guns of those officers.
There were a total of 11 battalions in the army, and the officers and artillery troops were equipped with 1,221 pistols. In other words, they needed 1,221 Desert Eagle pistols, which cost 2,442 gold coins.
The next step was to purchase ammunition. An AK47 rifle carried 60 rounds of ammunition, which was obviously not enough. If it was made for Hanyang, it could still fight two small and medium-sized battles.
However, this was an AK47 field army automatic rifle with 60 rounds of bullets. The battle had easily used up all the bullets.
Each AK-47 required 200 rounds of ammunition, so the entire army would need to buy 1,762,200 rounds of rifle ammunition, which would cost another 17,622 gold coins.
With that, Yan Wenbin's account was left with 7006 gold coins. Next, he had to buy the RPK light machine gun bullets.
The RPK light machine gun came with 200 rounds of ammunition, but this was obviously not enough for a light machine gun like the RPK. No matter what, it needed to be equipped with 600 rounds of ammunition. This meant that the entire army's 528 light machine guns needed to buy 211,200 rounds of ammunition, which cost 2,112 gold coins.
With that, there were only 4,894 gold coins left in his account. Of course, it wasn't over yet. There were still grenades to buy.
Each infantry battalion was equipped with 12 crates of grenades, and 11 infantry battalions were equipped with 132 crates of grenades, costing 1,320 gold coins.
In the end, he had bought everything. Yan Wenbin took a closer look and saw that the gold coins in his account had increased from 110,000 to 3,574.
